To Appeal the Gases.

TOLEDO, April Ask Lake Shore or Ann Arbor striker what he thinks of the decisions, and he will probably reply, "Oh, dunno" These two words just about ex- press the general situation here at the pres ent time. A great many seem of the opin- ion that the railroads have got the best of the deal inasmuch as the njunction against Arthur has been made perpetual.
 On the other hand, those few strikers who do pretend to understand the situation claim that the injunction against Arthur does not affect them in the least, inasmuch as he has no power to call strike or order boycott, and that the discharge of the seven other strikers is an evidence that it will be almost impossible to enforce the new law compelling all employees while still in the service of railroad to handle the freight of any other road on which there may exist boycott
 Both cases will be appealed at once to the courts of last resort. The contempt case will be taken to the supreme court on the ground that the defendant Lennon was not properly notified of the proceedings; that he was not subponaed according to law; that he had not seen the order of the court or understood it's import, and that the court has no jurisdiction in the matter, the plaintiffs both being corporations or ganized under the laws of Michigan and there being no federal questions involved. The case against Chief Arthur will be ap- pealed to the circuit court of appeals on the grounds that no evidence has been pro- duced to show that the defendant was in any way guilty of conspiracy or that he
 invited any of his men to engage in con- spiracy against the roads in question.

Primitive Justice,

heard Bill Stone plead his first case. It was good many years ago-more than twenty anyway. do not remem- Der the name of the judge, but a notori- ous horse thief was up for trial on a charge of stealing cattle. As he had no counsel the court appointed Bill Stone to defend the case. Stone took his man over to window and talked to him for . few minutes, then announced that he was ready for trial. "We plead guilty, your honor, to the charge against us,' ,' announced the young lawyer. The court wasted no time in giving a verdict, for horse stealing was heinous ofense in those days in this part of the country, and condemned the man to fifteen years in the penitentiary.
 But, judge, we plead guiltyr' yelled Stone, expressions of amazement and disappointment alternating on his face.
 Fifteen years" repeated the judge.
 But, judge, we plead guiltyr' re- peated Bill Stone, raising his long arms like windmills. But the judge was ob- durate.
 ''If that is the case," said Stone, i've will argue the case," and he forthwith started in upon the defense. For thirty minutes he argued and pleaded with that eloquence that is characteristic of him, and at the end of his harangue he sat down and watched the effect of his words. The judge smiled and made the sentence five years. Bill Stone had won his first case.-Kansas City Times.

 WASHINGTON. March 3l.-The president sent an important batch of nominations to the senate, of which the chief was to fill the post of ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of the United States to Great Britain. The appointee to this place is Thomas F. Bayard of Delaware, Mir. Cleveland's secretary of state eight years ago. MT. Bayard will thus have the honor of being the first American ambassador to the court of St. James He succeeds Robert T. Lincoln, the present minister, whose resignation was accepted by Secretary Gresham
 A dispatch from Wilmington reads: "Mr. Thomas F. Bayard, who returned from Boston last night, says that his appoint ment as ambassador to Great Britain was not unexpected and that he will probably accept the honor"
 Other nominations were as follows: To be envoys extraordinary and ministers plen ipotentiary-James D. Porter of Tennessee to Chilli; James A. Mckenzie of Kentucky to Peru; Lewis Baker of Minnesota to Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Salvador; Pierce M. B. Young of Georgia to Guatemala and Honduras; Edwin Dunn of Ohio (now secretary of legation at Japan) to Japan.
 There are at least three editors and also three officeholders under the former Cleve- land administration in this list. Elk. Secretary Bayard's career as senator and as secretary of state is too we'll known to need description. The senate did him the

honor it usually conferred on former mem bers of its body nominated to office, by con- irming his nomination today in legislative session without the formality of referring it to committee.
 Governor, Porter of Tennessee, who sue ceeds Patrick Egan at the Chilian capital, was assistant secretary of state under Cleveland during the first part of his ad- ministration. He was at one time governor of his state, and is regarded as a skillful diplomat and an accomplished gentleman.
 James A. Mckenzie, who goes to Peru, has the reputation of being one of the wit tiest speakers and best story tellers in the state of Kentucky. He is an ex-member of congress, twice in national conventions, made speeches seconding MT. Cleveland's nomination to the presidency and is popu- lar and able.
 Lewis Baker, who gets the mission to Nicaragua, Costa Rica and San Salvador, is editor of the St. Paul Globe and leader in Democratic politics in the Gopher state. He formerly published paper in Wheel ing.
 Pierce M. B. Young, who goes to Guate- mala and Honduras as minister, was 8 brilliant Confederate cavalry commander during the war and also served in con- gress.
 Edwin Dunn, the new Japanese minis ter, is at present secretary of legation there, having been appointed by President Cleve- land, and he proved so efficient that he was retained by President Harrison. London, O., is his home and he is young in years.

A Bix Crash In Wheat.

CHICAGO. March 30.-Not since the fa- nous Kershaw deal, the collapse of which drove a score of firms into bankruptcy, has there been such a sensational scene on the Chicago board of trade. The price of wheat for May delivery broke 7lac. in that many minutes, causing arraze of excitement in the trading pit. The taiers, If not the principals, in perhaps the biggest corner ever attempted in Chicago, were cruelty dumped. the outcome of the affair creat- ing an uncertainty which may affect for some time the course of the grain markets the world over.
 The shake out, it may be regarded, was one of the best executed plays of the kind seen since the days when Armour was ac- tive as wheat manipulator. Indeed, the action of the market reminded the trade wildly of one of Armour's celebrated "shake outs,n and but for the fact that Armour is commonly believed to be the leading "short" at the present time, hun dreds of operators would be almost ready to grab his guiding hand in today's deal.

Deviled Chicken.

Singe young, plump chicken. Cut it open in the back, remove the insides and wash it quickly in cold water. Rub ta- blespoonful of salt all over it and place it in the roasting pan with the breast side up. Put spoonful of butter in small pieces all over the chicken and place it in the oven to roast. AS soon as it has obtained light brown color add 8 pint of boiling water, haste frequently and let it roast till tender. In the mean time place the giblets in saucepan with cold water. add half 8 teaspoonful of salt and an onion and boil until the giblets are tender. Then take them out, chop them fine and set aside. As soon as the chick en is done transfer it to a hot dish. Re- move the fat from the gravy and then mix tablespoonful of cornstarch with half cup of water and stir 1t into the gravy. Stir and cook for few minutes and then add the giblets and the water they were boiled in, boil and strain.

Punching Steel and Iron.

According to 8 paper read before the Engineers club, of Philadelphia, on the proper limit of thickness to steel which may be punched, the statement is made that the thicker the steel the greater the damage caused by such an operation. Recent tests made to determine this matter are declared to indicate that punching injures steel less than iron up to, say, three-quarters of an inch in thickness, at which point the two ma terials are about equal in this respect, and beyond this point the value of steel after punching decreases quite rapidly as the thickness increases; in iron the percentage seems to be much more con- stant.
 The character of the fracture after punching is also found to be materially affected by the thickness of the mate rial. In view of these circumstances, it is proposed to limit to one-half inch the thickness of the metal subjected to punching, excepting in the cases of girders of more than fifty feet in length, when it may be nine-sixteenths of an inch; in top cords and end posts, five eighths of an inch, and in shoes, pedes- tals and bed plates, three-quarters of an inch.-New York Sun.

Pari. Exposition of 1900.

The question relative to site for the exhibition of 1900 seems to be on the road
 to settlement. The subcommittee of municipal councillors appointed to re- port upon the matter has given an opin- ion in favor of again utilizing the Champ de Mars. Not a tree of the Bois de Boulogne would therefore be touched,
 and not blade of grass would be re- moved from Lady Wallace's property at Bagatelle. The members of the sub committee have also expressed them selves in favor of organizing kind of central exhibition of machinery and az riculture at Vincennes in order to give the inhabitants of that rather neglected portion of the metropolitan zone chance of turning few honest pennies.

APPEAL FOR ARTHUR
THE CHIEF OF THE BROTHERHOOD
 NOT DONE FIGHTING VET.

Vice President Ashley Says the Engineers
 Ought to See Their Error Now-Gompers
 Says the Judges Must Be Enlightened.
 The Situation In Toledo.
 NEW YORK, April 4.-The decision of Judge Taft concerning the Lake Shore en- gineers who refused to handle Ann Arbor freight was variously received in various quarters. The decision declared that the whole Brotherhood of Engineers was a conspiracy against the law of the country, and that Chief Arthur, as the head of that organization, was responsible.
 When Chief Arthur was asked in Cleve- land what he intended to do in view of the fact that the decision of the United States district court had been against the men he represents, Mir. Arthur smiled and said: "It's all right don't know what we will do now. l have not given the matter moments thought. But the engineers will be all righttn any event.
 1.-The court does not seem to understand what my duties are. have not got such jurisdiction over the men as the court may think. 1 have no authority to order a strike. The men settle all these matters by vote and merely give my consent if see fit to do so. In this case I presume the court is under the impression that had authority to order strike"
 "What will be the effect of this decision in the injunction suit against you" was asked.
 1T suppose it will euioin me from issuing certain notices to the men,"
 "What will you do about itf"
 Can't tell just yet. I will not say any more about the matter until see the de- cison in full.o
 "Will the brotherhood fight the contempt case furtherf"
 'I cannot tell you anything about it now"
 1.-The judge has held one of the men for contempt"
 "Yes, so notice, but the dispatch does not say what they are going to do with the man. Just wait until we hear further par ticulars and we may know more about what can be done in the matter"
 Vice President James N. Ashley of the Toledo, Ann Arbor and North Michigan railroad, said in New York:
 "The decision does not surprise me in the least, as under the common law boycotting is illegal, and the refusal to handle freight from a road because there is strike there is boycotting Now that this decision has been given the men know that by following rule 12 of their bylaws they are disobeying the lawn
 Samuel Gompers, president of the Feder- ation of Labor, said:
 "The time has passed when by decision of judge workingmen may be made 8 part of the soil on which they labor or be tied to conditions which are irksome to them. They will continue to demand their T. a more enlightened opinion as to their pur- poses u

A Tribute to Mrs. Potter Palmer.

The project to honor Mrs. Potter Palm CT for her work in behalf of the Colum- bian fair is a unique one, and the women of the board that suggested it deserve credit for the happy thought. To stop the mint of the country to turn out a single piece of gold and then destroy the die, leaving the coin without duplicate, sui generis, is to give it priceless value and make it kohinoor among gold pieces.
 Mrs. Palmer, as has been said, is one of fortunes favorites, so far as money and estate are concerned, and there is not much that could be offered her which she does not already possess. This coin, however, in it's superb singleness is, as a commemorative gift, a masterpieces. .-- Rse rUtAt o4 visw h New Yesk NxnsA
