CHICAGO, Sept. 8. A part OF the en-
ployees of five additional firms reported
at the headquarters of the Cornice
Workers union lset night that they had
been locked out. and the men en-
ployed by two other firms we're ordered
to leave their places by the officers OF
the union. This makes o total of eleven
firms now involved in the trouble, either
through the lockout or because their
men had gone out on a strike. 1t is said
the full effect OF the orders OF the en-
ployers to lock out the men would not
be known until tonight, when all the
men would have reported to officers oil
the union.
The most important proceeding in
connection with the strike was the
meeting of the business agents OF the
Building Trades council. At this meet
ing the representatives of the various
unions declared that they would support
the cornice makers, and that no menu
Der OF their organizations would work

quence of this decision IL is believed
that the trouble will spread to con-
siderable extent during the next
few days. Union men say that there il

THE SUGAR BOUNTY.
Nearly Gil, 100000 Paid to Louisiana
Last Year.

Nearly GIL 100000 Paid to Louisiana
Last Year.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.--The records OF
the treasury shows that during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1894, the pay
ments az bounty on Sugar aggregated
$12. 096, SS9. of which amount $l1. 14l4 200
was ON cane sugar, 1852, 174 was on beet
sugar, $17. 312 on sorghum and sl16,211
on maple.
OF the bounty on cane sugar $40. $685.
89S was paid to producers in the state OF
Louisiana. The records also show that
the $11. ia. 200 bounty on cane sugar was
paid to 57S producers, which makes an
average OF $40, 1876 66 to each producer.
The amount paid as bounty on beet
sugar was divided among seven pro-
ducers of factories. making the average
payment to each sl21 ,739. This, how
ever, represents only email portion Of
the number of benefciaries under the
act, as each factory handles the crops Of
a large number OF growers. This ia also
true OF the cane factories, only the pro.
portion of factories to producers is
bound to be much less, while OF course
many persons are employed in the
work and are indirect benefciaries.
Ths fgures on acreage for the year
ended June so, 1894, are not yet all in,
but those of the preceding year show
that in Louisiana the bounty averaged
SAT So for each acre of cane produced !;
in Texas. 1890 per acre, and in Florida,
! $58 20 per acre.
1t 10 believed that the average bounty
per acre Of cane produced in Louisiana
for the year ended June 80, 1894, will be
about $53.
Secretary Carlisle ia expected on Mon
day to render q decision On the claims
for sugar bounties unpaid prior to Aug
ust 81, 1894. when the new tariff bill be-
came law. The amount involved ia
about $500, 600. The secretary will hold
that under the law he is not only un-
authorized to make these payments, but
ia specifically instructed by the new
tariff act not to pay them. The sugar
producers contend tina. congress had no
right and did not intend to prohibit the
payment of bounties ON sugar produced
while the act OF 1890 was in force, and
that licsnaes issued under the act are In
the nature of contracts and carry with
them the obligation of the government
to pay the bounties provided for. These
licenses expire annually Juno 30th.

LOUISIANA SUGAR PLANTERS.
They Bid the Democratic Party
Adieu.
Their Support to Be Transferred to
the Republicans.
Congressman Meyer Says the Detection
Is Serious and Means the Loss
of the state to tho
Democracy.

By the Associated Press
WASHINGTON. Sept. 8-Adolph Meyer.
congressman from the Fret Louisiana
district, talked to an Associated Press
reporter of the movement toward the
Republican party, as shown by the de-
velopments at the meeting Of sugar
planters in New Orleans. He said:
ut seems that Republican delesa-
ton win be sent to the next congress
from Louisiana, and that Republican
presidential electors may be chosen two
years from now. This movement il no
more than might have been expected.
Tho Democratic congress has dealt
shamefully with the great interest OF
Louisiana, after repeatedly promising
to sustain it. The party has received
strong and consistent support from the
state for many years, and the first time
it secures complete control of the gov
eminent, 1t proceeds to inflict upon
Louisiana the hardest blow che was
ever given by legislation. We have not
only been unfairly dealt with, but have
been deceived, in q word-buncocd.
1--WE were promised. back in the
presidential campaign, that the sugar
industry should not be crippled by o
change in the tariff. Then when the
tariff bill was to be amended in the
senate, there was definite promise
that the bounty should be continued for
this year. The crops this year were
started on that understanding, invest
mente having been made on this basis;
yet the party to which the state has
given its undivided support, enacted .
bill that will drive many OF lite prosper
Gus business men to bankruptcy.
THE Republican party. on the other
hand, has enacted legislation under
which the sugar industry has prospered.
The Republicans in this congress have
voted for the sugar bounty on all occa-
sions, and think have done 80 con-
sistently. So have tho Louisiana Demo-
crats for that matter. Now congress
holds further menace over our heads
in the form of threat to put sugar on
the free list at the next session. No
other industry has been treated in this
way"
Chow far lie the new organization OK.
pected to go?"
1T may have Republican nominations
this fall. The gentlemen who have
started the movement only suggest CO.
operation with the Republicans in ma
tional issues, and do not propose state
ticket or a local ticket"
When asked to state his personal
opinion, he said:
IL would not advise our people to 20
into the Republican party. They would
do better to make nominations for con-
gress on the Democratic ticket, with the
understanding thst their representatives
should act independently wherever they
can serve the interests of their state best
by doing So"

BRITISH TRADES CONGRESS.
A Fierce Fight Over the Election of a
Secretary.

n Eierce right over the Etectton OF

NORWICH, England, Sept. Sat the
session of the Trades Union congress, it
was resolved to demand that the govern
ment prevent the landing Of destitute
aliens. @. H. Wilson, M. P. for West
Hull, the well-known steamship owner,
said that there were sc, 900 foreign sailors
on board British ships.
The election OF a parliamentary secre-
tsry for the trades union congress- de.

eight-hour bill. The result Of the frat
ballot was: Woods, 40; Fenwick, III

sumed all the covenants and agreements
made by that road, and the Wisconsin
Central company with its terminals, and
thereby have agreed to pay the Chicago
and Northern Pacific company, in addi-
tion to a fixed annual rental OF $3.50, 600,
a sufficient sum to pay any deficiency
on the first mortgage bonds OF
the Northern Pacific company, the
bonds in question not being de-
rived from other rentals. There was
not direct promise to pay the interest
due on this, and hence no right OF action
upon the covenants or agreements that
existed, against the company. The
agreement of the Northern Pacific Rail-
way company to pay or guarantee as q
rental a sum sufficient to pay the in
terest on the bonds was OF that character
and made only with such purpose that
it could at any time be cancelled by the
mutual consent of the two companies,
and the holders of the bonds would pre-
vent such cancellation. Further, there
was no agreement whatever on the part
oftSe Northern Pacific Railway company
to pay or provide any fund for the pay
ment of rentals or for the payment of
these bonds. 1t cannot, therefore, be
aaid that the Northern Pacific Railway
company has paid any interest on the
bonds that have come into the hands
OF the Oregon Trsnscontinental CONS
pany.
Ii this were q suit or proceeding on
the part OF the Northern Pacific railway
to set aside the assumption of the
Chicago and Northern Pacific lease, the
master hardly thinks 1t could compel
the parties who had received the pro-
ceeds OF the Chicago and Northern
Pacific bonds to account therefor. II
the conclusions are correct, he con-
tinuss, then Mr.. Cakes, as an officer OF
the Northern Pacific company. had no
duties to perform in relation to the
Chicago and Northern Pacific bonds or
their proceeds and was not bound to in
vestigate the transactions in the sale OF
these bonds.
The next finding is that the Northern
Pacific company loaned the Oregon and
Transcontinentsl company, through the
Wisconsin Central company, under
agreement OF January Is, 1890, sums
amounting in the aggregate to IS, 750, 900,
which were paid back with interest at 5
per cent on the Goth day of June. 1890,
and that the Northern Pacific suffered
no loss or injury by reason OF tho loan.
The next and last question considered
Is whether. in respect to the lease of the
Chicago terminals to the Northern Pa
ciic company, an exor bitsnt or improv-
ident rental was agreed to be paid, or
whether the same was SO exorbitant or
improvident as to indicate non.feasance
or misfeasance on the part OF Mr.. Cakes
in the discharge of his duties as an off,
Ger and director OF the Northern Pa
cific.
The finding as to that IL that the
rental agreed to be paid by the North.
ern Pacific Railway company for the
lease OF the Chicago terminals of April
l, 1890. was not exorbitant or IMPROVE
dent, and that Thomas f. Cakes was
not guilty OF any misfeasnnce or nom
feasance as an officer or director OF the
Northern Pacific company in respect to
said lease.

said, has struck the farmer
