WAR DECLARED.
Efforts for a Peaceful Settlement of Great
Northern Strike Declared on.

Efforts for a Peaceful Settlement OF Great
Northern Strike Declared on.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, April 27.-AlI eff
forts for a peaceful settlement of the
Great Northern Pacific strike have
been declared off, and the company
and the American Railway union
have begun to test their
strength, and it may yet end
in bloodshed. The Great Northern
extends from this city to the coast
with many branches in this state, and
the Dakotas, and its 2,495 miles of
track goes through considerable new
country, where no other means of
travel are to be had, and where the
conditions of society allow a some
what rough element TO control af-
fairs The result in that section,
when the road begins to run its trains
with new men, will be that there will
be war to the knife, and perhaps
with it.
very important side issue in this
contest is the fact that the strike was
declared and is being managed by
new organization, the American Rail-
way union, practically in opposition to
the federated brotherhoods of rail-
way engineers. hremen, conductors,
and trainmen- Some mem bers of the
brotherhoods are also members of the
union, but many others are not and
as the brotherhoods have signed
schedules with the road, the men feel
that they must stand by their con-
tracts even though they might
not like everything. The freight
train that went out yesterday after
noon on its way to the coast was
manned by brotherhood men, all old
employees of the company. The union
leaders claim they will have all the
men on the line out, and it but re-
mains to be seen whether the men
will go with the union or stand by the
brotherhoods- The brotherhood chiefs
are apparently taking no active part
in the fight, although it is considered
something in the nature of fight for
existence between the two organiza-
tlOns.

CHANGES IN THE TARIFF BILL
VIII Be In the income Tax and Sugar
GnHo AnI0

VIII Be In the Income Tax and Sugar
Schedule.
WASHINGTON, April 27.--The principal
changes to be made in the tariff bill,
in accordance with the agreement
made by the Democratic senators yes
terday, are in the income tax and
sugar schedules. The sugar men have
been from the first clamorous for
an adva1orem instead of a specific
duty, and that change has been con-
coded. The details have not been alb
so1utely fixed, but there is little doubt
the sugar schedule will be entirely
supplanted by new one, which will
provide a uniform duty of 40 per cent
ad vaLorem, with an addition of one
eighth of cent for refined sugar.
The principal change in the income
tax, is provision for the limitation
of the time the law shall remain in
operation. It will probably be about
change-in the rete of taxation, which
will be left at 2 per cent on amour Is
in excess of 81 900.
A number of changes in the rate of
duty will be made in the iron sched-
ule, in which there will be slight adj
vance over the rates fixed by the
pc nding bill. Carpets, also, will Sc
cure an advance. In many cases the
rates fixed in the house bill replace
those of the bill reported to the sem
ate by the finance committee.
Another material concession which
will be made to the disaffected sena-
tors will be the restoration of the spe-
cific system In many places where the
finance committee changed the house
bill by the substitution of ad valorem
duty.
It is understood that the entire DEM
ocratic majority of the finance COM
Inittee is in hearty accord upon the
wisdom OF the proposed changes.

APPROACHING A CRISIS.
Serious Trouble with Keily's Army liz
Apprehended.

Appreciated.
ADAIR, Iowa, April 27.-The Rock
Island officials anticipate serious
trouble with the Industrial army to-
day.
About o'clock last night Yard
master Hamilton of the Des Moines
railroad took several assistants and
distributed through Kelly's camp a
circular signed by Division Superin-
tendent saltwater, which says in part:
Threats having been made that train of
this company will or may be seized by parties
in the sO-called industrial army other like
same over the tracks OF this company, notice
is hereby given that in case any such seizure
occurs and an attempt is made to run such
train on the tracks of this company, for the
safety OF public travel and of our mpioyes.
the pasSase of such train will be -Obstructed,
the usual danger signals display ed at the
point or points of obstruction, and any train
running in opposition to such signals no
tice will be at the peril Of the parties operat-
in or upon the same -
The men clustered around the camp
fires to read the notices and the air
was soon filed with denunciations of
the road and its officials. Kelly was
highly incensed over the action of the
company. This is an attempt said
he, Ito incite my men to riot, to make
them seize train That is the rail-
roads only hope They must make us
law1ess or their plans to stop us will
fail. We will not seize train We
will get it at Des Moines without
seizure"

A NEW ARMY ON THE MARCH.

Two Thousand Miners Moving on an
Illinois Mining Town.
SPRING VALLEY, Ill, April 27.-Yes-
terday afternoon a new industrial
army started on the march, and before
it reaches its destination the outlook
is that it will be larger than all
the commonwea1s and industria1s of
Coxey and Kelly put together.
A big army of miners left here yester-
day afternoon for Toluca, Charles
Dev1in's new mining town, where
some 500 men are working in the
mines. Nearly 2, 900 men moved from
this city and other miners were stimuli
taneously marching in neighboring
mining camps. Lad sent a delega-
ton of 400. Five commissary wagons
were filed with food, the contribution
of business men. Fred Knowles is
commandments of the forces.
He issued an order to the effect that
no one would be allowed to carry
arms. The sheriff of Marshall coun-
ty, with fifty deputies, is at Toluca,
awaiting the Spring valley army
At 1890 o'clock last night Acting
Governor Gill received a dispatch from
Sheriff LEM of Marshall county, urg-
ing that the presence of the militia at
Toluca is absolutely necessary to pro-
tect the miners at work at Toluca and
the property of the company, stating
that 5000 strikers of all ma
tionalities were on the march for
that place. The dispatch is also
signed by the mayor and
city officials and officers of the mining
company. The governor declined to
order out the troops, but left the city
at midnight for the scene, telegraph
ing the sheriff of his coming.

They CAN'T CROWD.
DistrictC0mmissioners SayThat
the COmmonWealers
Can't Assemble in the City of
Washington.
LOUD TALK AND NOISE
Is the Provision That Applies
to Them.

WASHINGTON, April 27.--The Dis
trict commissioners cast a damper
over the local support rs of Coxey's
movement yesterday by refusing them
permission to hold open-air meetings.
It had been expected by the enthusi-
asts that these meetings would draw
converts and cash contribu tions for
the cause. The refusal of the COM
missioners was based on a law that
prohibits congrs eating on the public
streets or in the parks, or engaging
in loud and boisterous talking, and
they state they have no power to
9 rant a permit
The COxeyites are angered at this
refusal, declaring the law never was
intended to apply to orderly speech
making. They point to the Salvati ton
Army meetings which are held in the
streets, and to the sidewalk services
of itinerant evapge1ists who flourish
here as instances of non-obeyance of
the rule.
The event of the day was the advent
OF Citizen George Francis Train, who
predicts that we are on the verge OF
the biggest revolution the world has
ever seen, and that the Jeffer sOn
Davis matter won't be an item in com
pariSon with it.
The authorities in charge of the cap
itol buildings are now considering the
adVlSa D1l1ty OF formally Surrenderlng
their authority to the District of Col
umbia and asking that a sufficient
protection be given by the police force
of the city. This step has seemed de-
sirable owing to the small force of
capitol policemen. The latter are
paid by congress, and there is no way
of incre easing their number. It would
take too long to get through an APP
preparation biz for extra officers, and
1t has been found the contingent fund
is not availa BILE for this purpose.
Major Moore of the city police force
has promised ample reinforcements if
necessary. But this is not accepted as
entirely satisfactory. It is not yet de-
termined the capitol buildings will be
turned over to the protection of the
city authorities, but one of the officials
of chief authority says events are
rapidly tending to that result.
The Odd Fellows procession at
tempted to march through the capitol
grounds yesterday, but was turned
back at the entrance by the capitol
police. The Odd Fellows made some
remonstrance, but when assured the
law permitted no exceptions they
quietly submitted. The incident will
doubtless prove precedent if Coxey
attempts to invade the capitol
grounds. as he has said it was his in
tention to do.

How London,s Expenses are Borne

In England and France the injustice
of compelling the inhabitants of the
capital, where the seat of Government
is located, to bear its entire expense,
is clearly recognized, and substantial
aid given. 10 ascertain the full amount
of the cost of governing the city of
London is difficult Tho division of
the expense between tho municipality
and the Government is so intcrwoyen
rs to make separation well nigh impos-
sible. We may, however, reach an mp.
proximate idea of the amount by stat
ing the several things which are cared
for by the State and paid for out of
the National treasury. The metropol-
itan police supported by the Govern
ment mustcrs 5,035 officers and men,
and is divided into twenty-five divis-
ions, of which one division does duty
on the river Thames, and five divisions
care for tho dock yards; the pay of
tho six divisions thus assigned being
paid out of the appropriation for the
navy. The chief receives the sum of
$40, 800 per annum, more than tho
general commanding the United States
Army, and as much rs the Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court of the United
States. He has several assistants, two
of whom receive $4,000 apiece; the
men receive about $500 per annum.
There are fifteen police court stations
supported by the Government. Tho
Lord Mayor holds court in one. The
judges in each of the others receive
about $500 per annum. The fire bri-
Snde is largely supported by The State,
and cost, in 1892, G155, $40, equal to
about 500, 900. of which amount the
insurance companies contributed G32, :

4 Courageous Cobblcr.
