THE CAULKERS STRUCK.
Union Men Refuse to Work With Nom
Union Men.

The Bark Ella Proved to be the Critical
Notwithstanding Facts FAbout the
Bark White Wings.
1t was stated in the PRESS that when
the work of caulking began on the bark
Ella, in the dry dock, it would be a
test case as to who shall dictate in re-
gard to the employment of caulkers-
either the Caulkers Association or the
employers themselves. Work COM
menced on the Ella yesterday morning,
and ,memb of the Caulkers Associa-
tion to the number of 10 or IS. and also
some non-union men went to work to-
gether. But lnsabout ten.a minutes after
work began, the union men struck, re-
fusing to work with the other crew.
Even the boss of the dry dock who is
employed the year round by A. K. p.
Leighton & Co., at SIG week, whether
there is work or not, struck with the
other union men.
1t was not on a dispute about prices,
for the union men were satisfied with
them, but they struck simply because
they would not work with non-union
men.
he work on the Ella will neverthe-
less go ON. and will probably be COM
pieted today.
The managers of both the dry dock
and the marine railway will have all the
help wanted, we understand, in day or
two.
The new bark White Wings, 800 tons.
of Quebec, arrived here from Boston yes
terday morning, light, and will go on
the marine railway today to be caulked
and coppered. Then she will load lum-
Der from Portland to Buenos Ayres.
Mr.George A. Hartford, the caulker,
we are informed, obtained the contract
to caulk this vessel, but because he
would not employ any but union men
the marine railway and the dry dock
were closed to him, as their proprietors
declare that non-union men shall work
also.
Therefore Mr.. Hartford was ia a pre-
iicament of having vessel to caulk and
no place to caulk it in. And if the White
Wings goes on the railway today, as stat
ed, either MIR. Hartford must employ
non-unon men as well as union men.
There are only about % caulkers in
all, and all of them could find work
at once on these two vessels, but it
looks very much as ii the association
desired to take all the work, regardless
OF. the wishes of the managers, who de-
sire to see fair play and let the ratural
law of supply and demand govern, the
number of caulkers
Work is starting up at the marine rail
way, and the wharves are being put in
thorough repair.

CAUSE FOR ANXIETY
Fishing Schooner Geo. B. Mcclellan Is
Long Overdue.

There is some apprehension felt that
all may not be well with the fishing
schooner Gen. George B. Mcclellan. She
was fitted out five weeks ago for a sword
fishing trip, and was reported several
days ago by Captain Joseph Doughty,
who spoke her and was told by her cap
ain that they had taken eleven of the
largest swordsh they had ever seen, and
should start for home in day or SO.
Since then ether fishermen have come
in, discharged and gone out again, and
there are grave fears that some accident
may have happened to the Mcclellan.
The dangerous fogs of the last two
weeks have served to greatly increase
the danger of the fishing business. OF
course the Mcclellan may have been de-
tanned, and it is hoped that it will prove
SO, and that she will be here in a day or
two

Officer Nc Grath Goes on Duty Again.
On the evening OF July End there was
group of toughs on Centre street that
OAcer McGrath ordered to move on and
as they did not move quick enough to
suit him he seized one of them with
his left arm and gave him very forcible
shove. In fact it was SO forcible that
he felt something apparently give way in
his arm above the elbow but he felt
nothing more until about Is minutes
when. there came sharp biting pain in
that arm that fairly made him grit his
teeth. He has been off duty ever since
but wentgon last night. His farm has
panied him SO that he scarcely had a
full nights rest for three weeks. The
ligaments were strained.

ST LOUIS, Mo-, March 3.-JameS
Sovereign, Grand Master Workmen Of

day from st. Paul, and said that he was
devotiug a great deal Of thought TO
negro colonization. Referring TO various
plans for emigration to Africa, he said:
These schemes appeal very power

GLADSTONE HAS RESIGNED,
bis Resignation Has Been Accepted, and
Lord Roseberry Has Been Called TO the
Premiership by the Queen.

his Resignation Has Been Accepted, ana
Lord Roseberry Has Been Called TO the
Premiership by the Queen.
WINDSOR, March 3.-The Rt. Hon.
W. Z. Gladstone, Prime Minister, First
Lord of the Treasury and Lord Priyy
Seal, TO give him his full title on the
eve Of his retirement from office, arose
early this morning and took long
walk in the grounds of Windsor Castle,
a. which historical group OF buildings
he had been the guest OF the Queen
over night
The morning was fine and Mr.. Glad
stone, who was accompanied by Gen.
Rt. Hon. Frederick Ponsonby, private
secretary to Her Majesty. enjoyed his
walk greatly. The Premier looked 10
the best OF health and was certainly In
the best Of spirits. After bis morning
walk Mr.. Gladstone visited his old
friend, the Dean OF Windsor, the Very
Rev, Phillip Frank Eliot, d. ID.
Most, If not all. Of the ministers are
exected TO be present at the meeting OF
the Privy Council, this afternoon.
The movements Of Lord RosberY,
who. IL is expected, will be the next
Prime Minister, are now watched with
the greatest care. His house, No. 80
Berkeley Square, where he arrived yes
terday evening, is surrounded this
morning by a crowd OF curious people
anxious 10 catch glimpse OF the man
who now occupies such great share Of
public attention. Messengers bearing
dispatches were TO be seen constantly
coming in and going out OF
Lord Rosebery's house, and it was
evident that the Secretary Of
State for Foreign Affairs was
in active communication With the First
Lord OF the Admiralty Earl Spencer,
and with other Cabinet Ministers.
During the morning, Earl Spencer and
the Rt. Hon. Henry II. Asquith, Secre-
tary OF State for Home Affairs, aud
other Ministers called upon Lord Rose
hsry and remained in consultation with
him for some time. While IL seems 10
be settled that Lord R0sebery will be
premier, there is considerable diversity
OF opinion as 70 who will be the next
Secretary OF State for Foreign AZ
fairs. The general opinion seems 70 be
that the Earl OF Kim berly, who is now
Lord President Of the Council and Sec
retary OF State for India Is the coming
man for this position. Lord Kimberly
has had 3 great deal OF experience hav-
ing already filed the positions Of Under
Secretary Of State for Foreign Affairs
and for India. and has been minister to
St. Petersburg. Lord Lieutenant Of Ire
land, Lord Privy Seal, twice Secretary
OF State for the colonies and Secretary
Of state for India The Earl OF Kim
befly was born In 1896.
Among the other cabinet changes dis
cussed Is the probability that Mr. John
Morley, now Chief Secretary Tor Ireland.
will succeed the Earl OF Kimberly as
Secretary Of STATE Tor India IL cur
