WILL NOT ARBITRATE.
Northern Pacific Strikers Firm in
Their Demands.


ST. PAUL, Mimi, May l3.-The situa-
ton on the Great Northern Is unchanged
to-day. President Hill said he would
gladly receive President Debs of the
American Railway Union on his arrival
here tomorrow morning. At that time
another conference will be held between
the officials of the company and the en-
ployes' committee, and all express great
confidence in the result of the conference.
Organizer Hogan OF the union dd not
talk to-day as If settlement would be
reached. The company has refused to re-
instate strikers who, during the strike,
broke the laws and are under arrest for
their offenses. AS Hogan said to-day:
This is our position. We arbitrated
the strike and supposed 1t was settled.
An agreement drawn up by the board and
approved by Mr.. Hill has been violated by
him. Our retaliatory measures will be
be another tieup, unless the Great North
ern president backs down and grants our
demands. Arbitrate we will not. 1 am
convinced, however, that MIR. Debs will
take the same stand. BE can but act as
our committee. for we represent the men.
The tieup this time will be complete. OF
course we don't want to be considered as
bullies, with chips on our shoulders. ready
to attack Mr.. Hill without provocation.
We. as representatives of the men. have
duty to perform, which forces US to fully
consider their desires in the matter"
Tonight the men say that unless their
demands are granted by Mr.. Hill to-
morrow aud all strikers are reinstated
they will strike tomorrow night and tie
up the road once more.

READY FOR A SIEGE.
Pullman Company Prepared to
Resist the Strikers.
The Men Say They Will Allow Out
siders to Take Their
Places.

CHICAGO. May 13.-An occasional visitor
to Pullman would not have believed that
the employees OF one of the largest indus
tries in the world were on q strike. The
men accepted the advice given them to
either attend church service or remain in-
doors, and very few of the strikers were to
be seen On the streets.
The most serious question which is
agitating the minds of the men is. "Where
is the financial assistance coming from?"
They argue rightly that the American
Railway Union cannot assist them in this
respect. for the great majority of the men
have snly joined the union during the past
week. Another serious phase of the situa-
tion is, Twill Mr.. Pullman allow the men
to occupy his houses without paying
| rental?"
Assistant general manager of the works.
2. a. Rend, expresses himself rather
freely on this question. and says he is con-
fident that the men must pay rent Or be
put out How long this strike will last is
question which they say is not bothering
the company in the least. They are pre-
pairing for long siege, they say. and have
over 400 cars in the shops that are ready
for use at moments notice, aud the idea
that few strikers can tie uD business on
the railway lines is received with ridicule.
I'VE cannot help but win this strike,"
said Mr.. Bender, one of the ommittee, to-
day. 1.-The committee who has this in
hand has got matters SO arranged that
Mr.. Pullman will be compelled to come to
our terms"
will the men allow anybody to take
heir places at the works without inter-
ference on their part?" Mr.. Bender was
asked.
Most decidedly" he replied. "Mr.
Pullman can employ any one he likes"
There were no meetings to-day. but the
men held information conferences.
ST. PAUL. May 13-The American Rail-
way Union men IN this city say they will
handle no Pullman cars during the con-
tinuance of the strike at Pullman and that
none of their men will run trains carrying
Pullman cars.

TO INVEST IT'S GOLD.
Bank of England to Put Large
Sums in Circulation.
The Foreign Money Market Has Been
a Trifie Easier During the
Past Week.

LONDON, May 13-The money market
was tritle easier during the week. but a
heavy fall in rates was prevented by the
demand caused by the floating of the In
dian Council loans. Signs of pronounced
ease are at hand, however.
The Bank of England has commenced
to invest It's surplus capital. and ere long
it is expected that about G3. 00O, 600 will be
thrown on the market.
The stock market was dull. The posi-
tion of affairs in the United States, Can
ada and South America has a depressing
effect here. The best investment securi-
ties were we'll supported.
The other markets were weak. Mr..
Morgan's withdrawal from the railway
committee has created bad impression.
American railroad securities were dull
and unsettled. but closed rather frmer.
But little confidence is yet shown.
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern
shows a reasonable increase. The others
scored decline ranging from one-half to
two. Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific
were slightly lower.

DEMOCRATS ARE HOPEFUL.
Republican Side of the Chamber
Opposes Filibustering.
WORK FOR THE COMING WEEK.
1t Is Not Thought Any Effort Will
Be Made to Change Hours
of Debate.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-The course Of
proceedings in the Senate this week will
depend largely upon the result of the Re-
publican caucus to be held Monday night.
The Democrats are hopeful that the caucus
will decide on treating the tariff in
what they consider "business-like" man
ner, and letting the bill proceed on its
course without much speech-making and
without the effort at delay which the
Democrats claim has been displayed by
some of the Republican Senators so far in
the debate.
There is unquestionably large element
ON the Republican side of the chamber op-
posed to any course which smacks in the
least of filibustering. This element in
cludes a large number of Senators from
the West and also a sprinkling of the old
Eastern Senators, who feel that they have
record to sustain against dilatory tactics.
The younger New England Republican
Senators are however, almost unit in
favor of contiGuing the fight on the lines
Which have been pursued up to this time.
They claim that no dilatory tactics have
vet been resorted to and none will be
necessary. and they will probably make a
strong plea in caucus to continue the pro-
gramme heretofore followed during dis
cussion of the bill.
If the conservative element in the Re-
publican ranks win in the caucus the pres
ent agreement as to hours for debate will
probably be observed, for after the Oppo-
sition party carries the day the Democrats
will most likely renew the effort to extend
the hours and urge the fighting.
Senator Harris said to-day that in case
there was any N ore side fighting, or If the
long speeches prevailed, he would renew
his own motion, but he did not wish to do
this as long as there was any possibility
of holding the debate within Legitimate
bounds.
Upon the decision Of the caucus will,
therefore, depend whether the debate
shall proceed in comparatively orderly
manner and the bill be disposed OF with
some dispatch, or whether there shall be a
general scramble over hoaI for debate, and
with these changes resort to all the de-
vices which may be utilized TO force the
Democrats from their course. If not to de-
Law the con nslderation of the bill.
Senator Aldrich said to-day that he ex-
pected the proceedings this week to be
very much on the order of those of last
week, He did not believe there would be
an effort to change the hours and he
thought the entire week weuld be devoted
to the chemical schedule, of which seven
paragraphs out of seventy-fve contained
in it have been disposed of.

COVERED WITH FIRE.
A Benzine Tank Explodes Over a
Large Crowd.
Hundreds Are Burned and Injured In
the Mad Rush That
Follows.

BRADDoCK, Pa. May 13-The barrel
house a Emery's refinery in this city took
fire this afternoon, presumably by spon-
taneouS combustion aud was destroyed.
The loading racks and i've tankcars
standing on sidetrack of the Buffalo,
Rochester and Pittsburg Railroad were
also burned.
The fire was fierce one and attracted
immense crowds of people from all over
this locality. While the firemen were
making final stand and thousands of peo-
pie were watching there was tremendous
explosion. a tankcar, holding 400 gall
Ions of benZlne. had let go with a mighty
roar. Fortunately, the burning benzIne,
which was thrown into the air i'll sheets of
linquid fire, had consumed itself before
settling down over the crowd. The ex-
plosion was folio wed by panic that can
not be described in words. Blind. unreas-
oning pitiless instinct of self-preservation
showed itself, and the weak went down
before the strong in multitudes CT cases in
the frantic rush to escape from what
seemed horrible death.
In the stampede men, as we'll as women
and children, were thrown down and
trOdden py the flying masses that surged
up from behind. ThiIty-6ve of the firemen
were burned; skin peeled off their faces
and hands, and the hair was singed off
their heads and faces. OF the many others
who were slightly burned there was no
record, and the total number of those
burned and injured in The stampede will
probably reacn 100 persons. The prop
erty loss will not exceed $1,000.
Matt Behan, a retiner. with oil-soaked
clothing, was standing close beside the car
when the big tank let go. The conclusion
stunned him as if he had been struck with
a sled ge-hammer. and In moment he was
ablaze from head TO foot. He coolly rolled
in the grass until the fire was put ort. al
though he was badly burned. Another
man, who was moving mass OF flames.
plunged into the creek and submerged
himself. In the whole crowd only four
men were burned in this way. Miss Emma
Wheaton and Mrs. =. Smith were carried
down in the rush. trampied under foot
and sustained serious injuries.
John j. Crosby's ear was burned to
charred crisp and his hands are roasted.
He is foreman Of the Whitney Hose Com
pany. G. A. Coleman is very badly burned
about the face. neck and hands, and his
lungs are affected from breathing the fire.
He is in dangerous condition.

APPROPRIATION BILLS.
VIII Occupy the House of Represen-
tatives During the Week.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-Appropriation
bills will continue to have the attention of
the House of Represen tatiyes during the
coming week unless the State bank ele-
ment succeeds in its effort to have the
Hawley bill taken I'D on Wednesday.
Chairman Springer Of the Banking Com
mittee had hoped to take up this long
deferred bill, which relieves from taxation
certain bank script issued during the cur
reney stringency last fall. The State bank
men are ready to offer an amendment
bringing up the entire State bank question.
In anticipation of the Wednesday de-
bate Mr. Springer has prepared a speech
which is said TO be the most elaborate re-
view of the banking system made since
National banks were established during
the war. But Representative Dockery
and other mem bers of the Appropriation
Committee are not entirely willing to halt
in the record thus far in hurryng along
the appropriation bills. They want the
three rem aiming appropriation bills cleared
up before giving way TO miscellaneous
legislation. 1t is probable this feeling will
prevail, although the State bank men have
not given up the hope of securing a hear
ing this week.
Monday is District of Columbia day.
Chairman McGann will make an effort
however, to suspend the rules and pas.
the resolution for an investigation Of the
labor depression and Coxeyism.
The IAdian bill is the next appropriation
measure on the calendar, followed by the
agricultural bill. They will consume the
entire week unless displaced by the State

In consequence of the popularity of the
Rev. De Witt Talmage. who was pastor OF
the Central Presbyterian Church of Brook
lyn, the congregations became so large
that it was found necessary to find a
larger place of worship.
Hence it was that in 1870 the congrega-
tion erected new semi-circular church of
wood and irop, capable of seating 3400
people. IL was known as the Brooklyn
Tabernacle. and in 1871 it was enlarged so
as to seat 500 more persons. On December
%, 1872. it was destroyed by fire.
On the ruins of the old, howsver. a new
tabernacle was erected and dedicated

capacity Ol 0OOO, anu was tu6 ldrPeSL

Thomas De Witt Talmage. the pastor OF
the great structure, was born in Bound
Brook, n. j., January Z. 1882, and was ed
ucated at the university OF the city of New
York in the class of 1853. but was not
grad uated.
After graduation at the New Brunswick
Theological Seminary in 1856 be was Or
dained pastor of the Reformed Dutch
Church in Belleville, n. j. He had charge
of the church in Syracuse. N. Y. from
1859 till 1862. and of one in PHILADELPHIA in
1S62-69 During the civil war he was
chaplain of Pennsylvania regiment, and
he is now chaplain of the Thirteenth New
York Regiment. BE sprang into promi-
