THE CHICAGO LOCKOUT.
Tt May Not BE Nearly So Bad as Was Eek
neeted.

Tt May Not he Nearly So Bad Was Ex-
pected.
CHICAGO, April 13.-The lockout of
the building trades, which occurred
to-day, was not SO general as was ex-
pected, but was large enough. no less
than 10, 900 men being thrown out of
work suddenly and added to the great
mass of unemployed The boss build
ers claimed that so, 600 employees would
be affected, but there was lack of
harmony among the employers and
the lockout was not general
The workingmen claim that the
movement is failure and many of the
boss builders are of the same opinion,
but others say that the lockout will be-
come general before the week is over.
No man affiliated with trade union
will be taken back to work until a gen
eral agreement is reached that the
unions will consent to an arbitration
# all differences growing out of the
schedules which the bosses have re-
fused to sign 1t is intimated that the
cause of the local master builders may
be taken up-by the other associations
throughout the country, thus embrac-
ing all the principal cities in the lock-
out

edness In School Warrants.


TOPEKA, Kan, April 14.-State SUI
perintendent of Public instruction
Gaines and Acknowledgement Little
called upon County Attorney Stafford,
of Shawnee county, this morning
with three fraudulent warrants
drawn upon the state school fund
in 1890. and asked him to

Kellogg and William Higgins, who
were at that time state superintendent
of public instruction, encouragement
and secretary of state respectively, and
also N. d. Mckinley, bond clerk in

Mckinley obtained S1,650 of the school
funds on false pretenses. One of the
warrants was for $3.50 and purported to
have been to pay for a school district
bond of Crawford county, another for
$500 purporting to have been to pay for
school district bond of Linn county
and the third for $500 for school dis
trict bond of Norris county.

On one occasion he assembled the church
tower OF village in Norfolk, taking
with him one of his mothers pillows,
and finding the wind blowing directly
to the next town, he let off handfuls of
feathers until he had emptied the pill

offered various conjeetures to account
for it. and the account was copied into

MANY LIVES LOST.

1t Is Thought That Fifteen twenty Men
Were Burned in the Glucose Fire.
BUFFALO. n. Y, April 1.-THE full
extent of the loss of the burning of the
American glucose works is still uncer-
tain. About eighty men were at work
in the building when the fire broke
out, but how many escaped and who
among them persisted cannot yet be de-
termined. Some, to avoid death in the
burning building. leaped from the
windows only to be buried under fall
ing walls, or into the canal only to be
itnbedded in mud. Two men who
jumped from the burning building into
the canal We're but slightly hurt. The
following are missing:
George Huber, employed on the
seventh floor.
John Trube. of Gray street.
Michael Maleslzi, employed on the
eighth floor.
Henry Stineson.
On Scott street the building was
eight stories high.
The loss, although overestimated in
the early reports, is still larger than
this city has experienced in five years
1t is now estimated that the loss to the
glucose works proper will not exceed
5000, 600, fully covered by insurance
