THE 1oUIsvILLE DISASTER,

Little Hopes that All tho Bodies Of tho
Victims will bc Recovered.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 2S.-From pres
ent indications it would seem that the
unbound bodies that were lost in the
Louisville and Jetfersonyille bridge
disaster may remain in their watery
graves. That of John Holden was the
last found, and since then no traces of
the remaining bodies have been found.
The coroner will probably hold an in
quest some time in January. He will
wait until all the chances Of finding any
more OF the twelve men who are sup
posed to be in the wreck are given up.
A body was taken out Of the river at
Tell City, Ind, yesterday and as it was
cut badly about the chest and shoulders
it is thought to be the remains Of one
of the victims of the bridge disaster
here. The body was badly decomposed
and had been in the water long time.

JubElaat Over the Prospects of Work Dnr-

PITrsBURaH, Dec. 2S.-The return OF
many barges from the southern cities
has given renewed impetus to work
along the river and most of the mines
are now operating steadily for the first
time in several months. The high
water gives promise OF continued work
all winter. The scale price having been
generally settled, the miners are rejoic-
lug over the encouraging state oil affairs.
The coal operators, too, think that a
business revival has commenced in the
west which will insure ready market
for this product. There ate now nine
feet of water in the Ohio and the river
is rising.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Nov. I9.-Passenger
trains arrive and depart ON the Lehigh
Valley to-day as usual, but freight il
tied up by the strikers. The officials
are feeling their way carefully, not
knowing exactly how extensive the
strike may prove. Here, at the western
terminus OF the northern division, the
work Of reorganization of freight crews
is proceeding, but probably no freight
will move before tomorrow. Fortu.
nateIy no pcrishable stuff is stalled on
the road. With the experience derived
from the struggle in August last year
the superintendent and his aides hope
to overcome the yard blockade in few
days.
At o'clock this afternoon gang of
laborers were engaged in bringing down,
from a store room IN the upper floors of
the Lehigh Valley station, several wagon
loads OF cots and cooking utensils which
were used in the last years strike.
They we're being taken to East Buffalo
car shops to improvise lodging Tor rc-
cruits to the freight crews. The Lehich
is ready to hire men to take the places
OF the strikers. How many men are
needed cannot be told exactly. Here in
Buffalo there are about 800 employees of
the Lehieh and perhaps one.third Of that
number are out. Most OF these are
trainmen.
AT Sayre, the officials of the road ad-
nit that fully half OF their men are out.
They include brakemen and firemen
principally and few engineers and con-
ductors. In this city the freight con-
ductors have not refused to take out
trains because they have not been ask
ed and thero will be no chance to know
how many Of them will join the strike
until they are supplied with full crews
and ordered to move trains. No pas
senger men SO far have refused to work.
Tho strike on the northern division
is purely sympathetic. The trouble
originated at the other end OF the line.
It is there that acts OF violence may
most likely be expected il anywhere.
The grievances OF tho Lenigh men are
of long standing. Numerous efforts
have been made to secure settlement
by arbitration, but the officials OF the
company have indifferently treated all
overtures made in behalf OF the eln-
ployes by the officers OF the railway
federation. The trouble extends back
to the fall ot'92. The men say that
General Manager Voorhees, then agreed
to certain propositions, but they assert
that he never kept the terms of the

THE PUDDING SCALE.
What the Mon WIN Mnke-The Sheet
ScaIo to be Considere


PIrTsBURGH, Pa, Nov. 19.-The settle
ment Of tho Amalgamated pudding
scale at Youngstown. Ohio, yesterday,
on the basis of s475 per ton, will affect
all mills in the country governed by
the scale OF that organization. Under
the new rate the puddlers claim that,
under the most favorable conditions,
they will make S37 per day in winter
and 50 IL per day in summer, when two
helpers are necessary. The cut was
made to meet the price paid in non
union mills, aud they now fear the
wages OF the non-unionists will be re-
duced still further, in which case the
union manufacturers may want q still
lower rate. -,
The AmaIgamated Association will
confer with the sheet manufacturers to-
morrow to consider the sheet scale.
The manufacturers want a 10 per cent
reduction, and among some OF the
workmen there is a disposition not to
concede it unless the manufacturers
show good reasons for asking tho cut.
Ii there should be disagreement the
manufacturers will start their plants at
once with non.union men.

THE TARIFF BILL.

No Longer Doubt That Coal, Lumber, Etc,
will Go on the Free List-Tho Income
Tax.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The ways and
means committee hopes to be able to
complete the new tariff bill and give
it out to the public about the close OF
the present week. A fear is expressed
BY some Of the Democratic members
that the differences which have recent
" arisen among their number over the
policy Of an income tax may prolong
the final completion OF the measure un-
til later date, but every effort will be
made to got the bill before the pubic
at the earliest possible moment.
At the general conference OF Demo-
cratic members tomorrow the discus.
sion will be resumed as to the policy OF
adopting an income tax, and as all the
essential features Of the bill practically
depend on the adoption or reaction OF
this policy, the other details OF tho
measure will probably be held in abey-
anCe until the committee has finally
come to n conclusion on an income tax.
Representative Cochran, of New York.
is strongly opposed to the adoption OF
the income tax povision, but it appears
now that he will stand alone among the
members who do, unless Chairman
Wilson should como to his aid.
The position Of Mr.. Wilson on the
subject is still regarded by the income
tax men as somewhat indefinite since
he has been frequently reported as be.
ing in the anomalous position Of favor
ing it in theory, but doubling its prac-
ticabiIity and its expediency as party
measure. As to the important articles
to be added to the free list there is no
longer any question they will embrace
wool, lumber, iron ore, coal, salt, cotton
bagging, binding twiue, rice aud many
other commodities Of less Importance.
The present bounty on sugar will be re-
poaled. but it is still possible the COM
mittce may decide to impose slight
import duty in order to satisfy the su-
gar cane men OF the south and the beet
rRisers of tho west. There is little prob
ability, however, of the duty being as
high as that requested by the American
manufacturers-oue and one.half cents
per pound. The highest duty thus far
discussed is one cent per pound and the
opinion Of most OF the committee seems
divided between halt a cent pound
and admitting it entirely FREQ OF duty.
