DOCK LABORERS STRIKE.
A General Walkout of All Union
Hands Expected.
HIGHER WAGES DEMANDED.
The Sailors and Firemen's Union Aid
ing the Dock LabOrers.
Dock Men at Liverpool and Shields Or
ganizins TO Assist the Strikers
Ship Owners VIII Support
the Masters.

HULL, England, April Lit looks
very much as if the dock laborers' strike
is about to prove failure. A lot OF nom
union men were put to work this morn
ing under police and military protection,
making the whole number OF non-union
men who have taken the places of strikers
1900. This afternoon the strikers show
evidences Of weakening, as a number OF
them applied for and we're given work.
The firms in the lumber carrying trade
whose vessels have lain idle since the
strike began, notified their men that IN
less they return to work at once, their
places will be filed with non-unionists.
Joseph Wilson, president of the Sailors
and Firemen's union, in London, is tax
ing an active part in behalf of the strikers
at Hull. He has gone TO Cardiff to enlist
dock laborers and sailors and firemen s
unions in their behalf. He has
great influence with the men,
and there is every evidence that
the shipping trade of Cardiff is about to
become involved in struggle with the
sailors and fremen's unions. The latter
have demanded an increase Of wages to go
into effect today and threaten to block the
sailing of every vessel, unless the de-
mands are complied with.
The dock laborers at Liverpool, Shields
and elsewhere are organizing to assist the
strikers here. The ship owners fedora
ton is organizing to support the masters.
1t looks as if it would be general strike
of all union hands in the shipping trade.

THE ROACH CASE.
1t Came Prominently Before the Senate
Plain Talk INDUCED In.

Plain Talk INDUCED In.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Roach
case came prominently to the front today
in executive session of the Senate and
was the cause of some rather plain talk.
1t was declared by the Democratic leaders
that if the Roach case was to be gone into
at this session the Others should be taken
up as well. The Republicans retorted
that they were afraid of no investigation
concerning any other members but they
insisted that some positive action
should be taken in this particular
case. After long discussion of
the two views so vehementIy ad-
hered to by the respective sides the
question was laid aside without any
definite action being taken. The
Martin case was given a share of the de-
bate and from the discussion that ensued
the Senate will if possible refuse to look
into the question of the legality of the
seat now o cupied by Martin.
The nomination OF Eckels to be comp
troller of the currency was reported IA
vorably, but the confirmation did not
follow, it going over for a day under the
rules, there being objection to its present
consideration. The objection found ex-
preston in some very caustic remarks by
Republican senators in regard to what
they called the lack of wisdom manifested
in the selection for so important an Office
of man who by his own admission knew
absolutely nothing of the business of
banking.

KICKERS HAVE NO SHOW.
The Straight Out Democrats Only Will
Be Recognized.
An Interview with the President Regard
ing Utah Matters-A Great Many
Questions Asked.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-Tspecial. i
Judge Henderson today had an interview
with President Cleveland regarding Utah
matters. He was accompanied by Con-
gresham Wilson of West Virginia, who
helped to impress on the president the
necessity of understanding and meeting
the situation in Utah.
In most particulars the interview was
satisfactory, and the president was urged
to recognize promptly and fully the ac-
tual working Democracy of the territory.
The president asked great many ques-
tions regarding the prospects of Demo
cratic success when Utah was admitted,
and was told that he could do much to-
wards solidifying things if he recognized
the true party leaders.
The prevailing impression here is that
the boilers and kickers have no show.
The regulars are considered as the only
organization likely to be rec ognized.

RUSSIAN EXTRADITION.
The Alleged Text Of the Treaty Given
Publicity.
The Same Matter Was Published in the
New York Papers About Six
Years Ago.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE text, or
alleged text, of the extradition treaty
signed by Secretary Bayard and De
Strive, Russian minister, in Washington
in 1887, but which failed of ratification
by the Senate, principally because of the
strong opposition raised to article three,
defining political defenses, was published
here this morning, apparently with a
view of eliciting an expression of public
opinion. The same alleged text was pub
llshed in some New York papers six years
ago and is believed to be accurate. Article
three is the article which the Republican
Senate, it is said. now desire should be
made public, in parallel columns with the
| corresponding article Of the amended
treaty, which the Senate ratified at the
last session. The article in question as
submitted in 1887, is as follows:
Article 3-If it be made to appear that
extradition is sought with view to try
or punish person demanded for offense
OF a political character, the surrender
shall not take place, nor shall any person
surrendered be punished for any political
ofense committed previously to his ex-
tradition; nor for any offense other than
that for which the eXtradition is granted;
nor shall the surrender of any person be
demanded for any offense committed
prior to the date at which this convention
shall take effect. Murder or manslaghter,
comprising the killing wilfully or by neg
ligence, OF the sovereign or chief magis-
trate of the state or any member of his
! family as well as an attempt to commit or
participate in said crimes shall not be
considered an offense of political char
acter.''
1t is pointed out that the modification
Of article three as adopted in the treaty
which now awaits exchange of ratifica-
ton strengthens it's declarations as to the
political offenses against the sovereign or
chief magistrate, but makes no conces-
sions in favor of Russia, not reciprocated
in favor OF the United States. The actual
text of this part of the treaty as it now
stands is as follows: can attempt upon
the life OF the head of either government
or against that of any member of his
family, when such attempt comprises an
act either of murder or assassination or
of poisoning, shall not be considered a
political offense or an act connected with
such an offense.''
Article of the treaty of 1887 contains
this: 1.-The crime of forgery, by which
is understood the utterance of forged
papers and also counterfeiJing of
public, sovereign or governmental
acts" 1t is understood that this
definition is retained in the amended
treaty, ratified by the Senate. The op-
ponents of the treaty contend that under
this definition persons may be extradit-
able for using false passports or passports
issued in an assumed name. which is said
to be very common practice of persons
who believe that their true names would
excite the suspicion of the Russian

ROBBED BY THB CASHIER.
A Trusted Official Wrecks a San
Francisco Bank.
A FINANCIAL SENSATION.
The Shortage Will Reach the Great
Sum of $4,000.
The Cashier Arrested, But He AbsoIutel.
Refuses To Say What He Has Done
with the Money-Is He Shield
ing Others?

SAN FRANCISCO, April III. W. Flood,
for twenty five years cashier of the Dom
ohueKelly Banking company, this city,
was arrested last night on the charge of
embezzlement. The shortage is said to
amount to S25, 900. 1t was discovered
some days ago and Flood was allowed to
resign. IL is understood that he made
restitution, and in view of his long SER
vices it was not thought that he would be
prosecuted; so the arrest came to him as
a surprise.
This afternoon it was learned that the
amount OF the defalcation was 1854 COO, as
heretofore given out by the bank officials.
The banking company today filed suit
against Flood to recover $139 900, he only
having made restitution of $25, 600. The
sheriff issued writ OF attac hment on the
residence of Flood, valued at $40, 600.
The developments created sensation in
financial circles.
Flood acknowledged that the money
was distracted from the bank and the
shortage was not made up of series of
speculations extending over series of
years, as supposed. Flood also confesses
that the defalcation occurred since March
l. when the bank moved from the quar-
tiers 1t had occupied for years to
its new and more pretentious location
but what he did with it and why he took
it Flood absolutely refuses to state
He has been a man heretofore OF up
right life and rigid habits and no
theory that 1t was expended in dissipa-
ton or gambling is tenable. Some think
it may have been wasted in speculation
but the bank officials do not consider it
possible so much money could have been
used in that manner in so short time.
When the theft was discovered last
Tuesday by the state bank commissioners
Flood was called into the private office by
President Donohue and he Immediately
acknowledged his responsibility for the
disappearance of the money but declined
absolutely to tell where it had gone. He
did say, however, that he paid It over the
counter in the usual manner to persons
now out of the jurisdiction of California
courts. He would not divulge their
identity even under duress, but
declared the bank was at liberty to hold
him accountable and send him to prison.
He cheerfully gave up property worth
$25, 200 In reparation.
Flood has been with the bank thirty
years, twenty five as teller and
cashier, and possessed the re-
spect and entire confidence of the direc-
tors and officers of the bank and all
others. The theory advanced by some is
that he voluntarily sacrificed his liberty
and reputation TO shield others. He sug
gested to President Donohue that he
might make disclosures before his death
which might be in couple of days, SEEM
ing to imply his intention to commit sui
eide.

THAT ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
Conflicting Rumors Regarding the As
sauIt on Cardinal Vauzart.

Conflicting Runors Regarding the As
sauIt on Cardinal Vauzart.
VIENNA, April 11.-Conhicting reports
are circulated regarding the attempt yes
terday to assassinate Cardinal Vauzart
primate of Hungary. From best informed
sources it is learned that the attack was
made upon the cardinal in his palace in
Pesth and his assailant was a man named
Cholics who has been employed in the
palace as cellarman but who was dis
charged. ChoIics, it appears, was desir-
GUS of being reinstated and to gain that
end prepared a petition which he pre-
sented to the cardinal. The latter in
formed Cholics that he must consult the
household officials. Cholics then became
insanely enraged, drew a carving knife
and made desperate lunge at the cardi-
nal who evaded the blow by springing
around the corner of a desk.
Rev. DR.. Kohl, the cardinal s secretary,
rushed toward the infuriated man just as
Cholics had started toward the cardinal
again. In the struggle Dr. Kohl received
five severe wounds in the shoulders and
breast. The Would-be assassin was then
grasped by servants and overpowered.

Frauds and conspiracies most gigantic
and far-reaching are said to have been
unearthed.
1t is claimed that the state has been de-
frauded directly or indirectly out of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. Many
persons hithtero above suspicion are
said to be involved and besmirched by

cases OF false homestead entries, soldiers

THE CHOCTAW WAR.
Both Factions Reinforced and a Conflict
Will Hardly Be Prevented.


WASHINGTON, April IL. = Secretary
Hoke Smith has received the following
telegram from Agent Bennett at Musko-
gee, l. T.:
cam reliably advised that both factions
of Choctaws are being strongly rein
forced. The presence OF the military
alone will prevent a conflict, Troops
should be sent to Antlers as quickly as
possible. Will go there when advised that
troops have started.''
A telegram just received from Atoka
says: ga hundred men are going to the
locotion of the troubles, if the govern
ment does not interfere
As requests have already been made to
the department to send troops, no further
action will be taken.
The request of Agent Bennett was tele-
grephed to General Miles, who replied
that Captain Guthrie had left Fort Reno
for Antlers Saturday with company Oh
infantry and expected to reach his desti-
nation today. Officers at the war depart
ment are inclined to believe the trouble is
not as serious as the dispatches of Agent
Bennett indicate.
A Paris, Tex, telegram says: Company
A, Thirteenth United States infantry
Capt. John Guthrie commanding, passed
through here from Fort Reno, and took
their post at Goodland for the purpose OF
preventing any further outbreaks among
the ChoctaWs.

RAWLINS ELECTION.
The Democrats Triumphantly Elect Their
Entire Ticket,

WAwLINs, Wy, April 11.-[Special. i
The city election passed of quietly today.
The morning opened with sharp
western snow storm which lasted until
afternoon when the sun came out bright
and warm with sharp southwest breeze.
The fight had been bitter one. Princi-
pally upon local issues. The Republicans
using the grossest reports to defeat Mr..
Rasmussen who has formerly served three
terms as mayor. One of their strong
cards was that each election had cost him
$500, and as the salary is only $50 per
Iannum leaving the inference that he must
have made himself even off the city.
Four hundred and fifty votes were
polled. The entire Democratic ticket be-
ing triumphantly elected, viz: Mayor H.
Rasmussen, DR.. T. G.. Ricketts, one year
to fill vacancy and 8. B. Bennett the full
term of three years. There is great re-
ioicing tonight among Democrats and
those in favor of the city controlling the
water systems.

THE FRENCH CASE.
A Jury Secured and the Trial win Now
Proceed.

Proceed.
BOISE, Ida, April 11.-[special. J.
A jury was secured in the French
case today. District Attorney Hayes
made the opening address, in which
he said the state expected to prove
that French had threatened to kill
Hatton; that at the time of the killing
Hatton was so weak from bread and
water diet that he was harmless and at
the moment of killing Hatton was sup
porting himself against the wall with his
right hand while he motioned with his
left to French not to strike him, when
French pulled his knife, rushed upon him
and stabbed him.
The application of the prosecution to
have convicts brought into court to test
ify provoked an argument, and Judge
Nugent took the matter under advise
ment
