SETBACK FOR THE FAIR
Union Carpenters Go on An
 other Strike.
FOUR THOUSAND MEN AFFECTED

Reason tor the Last Trouble, Is tI,ut Some
 Constructors Have Not Net signed ;he
 Agreement of Two Weeks Aso-sgan-
 asars Mad The City Affected.
 CHIcAao, April 24.-AnoJher misfor- tune is in store for the Worlds Fair oili- cials. Last week the destruction by the wind caused some delay and extra eX- pcnse, and now comes another strike to worry the officials
 When the carpenters employed at Jack son park went to work this morning they found the gates of the Exposition grounds guarded by a cordon og union delegates, who had strict orders to allow no union carpenter working for the Exposition com nany or those contractors who have not signed the agreement of the carpenters council to enter within the grounds and it looks as though the scenes of two weeks are to be repeated
 Nut only have the union carpenters at | the H' urlds Far grounds struck, but also | by uryer of President J. B. Cogswell, all l union carpenters working for contractors | who have nvt siasne:lthe agreement were | pl,ii>>yl quit work. This order throws over 1 4,GJu men out of work to uphold the | uuion's demand, that it's members shall l not be compelled to lahor with non-uniOn VOrNNGn.
 The strike was resolved upon at q mass l meeting of carpenters held at Battery D
 armory yesterday afternoon. Fifteen hun | arrd men were present. and the vote to | strike was unanimous.
 \ strike at the Worlds Fair grounds,
 even one of small proportions is a serious
 matter at this particular time, when every
 mOmaat is precious Of the 5000 carpeu-
 t2rs employed at Jackson park. it is tsUi-
 mated that 400 or 40O of them will be af-
 fected by the present order. This numbel
 comprises the men working for the EXposi- | tiun r,,nliany and those in the employ ol
 less tlan half q dozen contractors, tht great majority of the contractors having ! complied with the unions demands | While the number of men ;t.!ucteA is com l .,ayAtivcly small, it is n blow to the fNpoSi tion company, inas}1uch as it i' impossible to secure men to tu.;e tlia strikers place: | OH snort nO,c2.

THIS spring weather is not balmy. We do not expect balmy skies in April. There is tradition that there were once such skies in this region of country, but very few are old enough to bear per sonal testimony to that effect. We are taught by our present experience, and that of many previous years, to be wary of calling for a spring holiday earlier than the month of May, and if it is pushed we'll into the middle of that very doubtful month, still better dis cretion will be shown. A substitute for Fast day should be put full six weeks ahead of 1t. But the recent weather, when one comes to understand it, is not bad weather on many accounts. It is doing just the right work for vegeta, tion. The grass will show the good effects of it long into the future. The buds on the trees are kept well back and thus are in less danger of that frost from which we cannot hope to be secure for a considerable time, even should warm weather set in. Our spring weather is rather rasping to the sensi bilities here in New England, and some times we get very little spring out of il before summer jumps Tn upon us; bu when vegetation is out and established at last, we can defy the world to show anything finer.

JUDGE NELSON of the United States district court at Boston has given the contract labor law an interpretation, which, if sustained, will make the law of little account. A bicycle manufac- turer who hired two men in England to come and work in his factory in Charlestown was prosecuted for violat- ing this law. A true bill was found against the manufacturer, but Judge Nelson decided that the defendant should be discharged on the ground that the contract labor law provided "that any person who shall bring by vessel or otherwise, or who shall aid in bringing, an alien who is prohibited in coming shall be punished" Judge Nelson found that bringing" as used in the law applied solely to physical act, and as the defendant did not take physical part in the actual transportation of these workmen he had not made him. self criminally liable.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND and Secretary Gresham have been Investigating the working of the much talked about re- ciprocity treaties made under the au- thority of the Mckinley tariff law, aud it looks now as if they were one and all failures and that they will have to go. Those with Brazll and with Spain for Cuba and Porta Rica will probably be the first to be abolished, as there have been numerous complaints about the manner in which the customs officials of those countries have violated thu treaties. Tables prepared at the stat | department show that the whole system has been a failure, and that instead o increasing the market for Americal products there has been, in severa countries, a marked falling off in ou
 trade since thetreaties went into effect
 The president believes that a concilis
 tory policy towards our neighbors wi
 result in much greater commercial Der
 eft to us than the policy of reciprocit
 by coercion which was practiced by tn
 Harrison administration.

A wELL-KNowN practitioner of mcdi- cine In New York city is quoted as say ing: Probably you have noticed the tendency of epidemic diseases to run themselves out, even in districts where no precautionary measures are taken. It has been shown in the history ot every great plague-the black death, cholera and the rest. and now it is Illustrated in tho grip. We have the grip with us again, as you know, and there have been a few fatal cases oi 1t; but 1t is nothing to what it was ir Its first and second seasons Then you remember, there were instances where 1t was fatal within twenty-foul hours, and its effects were more severe and more lasting than they have beer sinca This is regular grip weather yet the grip Is slowly dying out Diseases die as well as the people who have them"

THE monster gun sent by the great German gun-maker, Krupp, to the Chicago Columbian exhibition, has been presented to the city of Chicago, and is to be mounted in fort to be built for the purpose, and be in charge of the government of the United States. This is the largest and most powerful piece or ordnance in the world. It can defend the city from any attack from the lake. It costs about $1 800 to fire the monster, and when she goes off there will be very little window glass left in the "Windy city," but if the shot fired, weighing over 1, 400 pounds, hits an iron-clad, the latter will go to the bottom of the lake.

SOME of the most capable men who spend spring and summer on the Alas kan islands looking after various com mercial interests earn very large sala- ries. and live what some folks might call double lives. They are able dur ing the winter, in San Francisco, New York, or Europe, to be lavish in ex- penditure and enjoy all the privileges of life, and the fact that there is little to be done on the islands but attend strictly to business enables man to recuperate from the wearing joys of civilization, and thus to prolong his dual existence.
