GOVERNMENT REVIEW.

Northern Minnesota and Montana Ex-
perienced the Severest Weather.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-The weather
bureau, in its regular weekly report OF
weather crop conditions, says:
The great feature of the week was
the remarkable cool wave which over
spread nearly the whole Of the country
east of the Rocky mountains on the
18th and 18th, attended by freezing
weather in the Northern states and
frost as far south as the Ohio valley
and western portion of South Carolina.
This period Of cold has proved very I'M
favorable to growing crops and much
injury has resulted from frosts through
out the northern portions of the coun-
try.
The line Of freezing temperature ex-
tends from Western Montana southeast
to Western Nebraska, thence north
ward to Southern North Dakota, and
thence eastward through tho southern
portions of Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan, Northeastern Ohio and
Northwestern Pennsylvania to West
ern New York, the lowest temperature
within the United States being about
10 dogs. below freezing in the extreme
northern portions of Minnesota and
Montana.

CHICAGO, May 15.-Shortly after 2

from the vessel. She was laden with a
cargo of 5000 hemlock ties, scores OF
which were floating around. She left
Chicago two weeks ago Monday bound

took on her cargo, left on Wednesday
and was to have unloaded it at the
dock of the Chicago and Rock Island

WEST BINGHAM, Pa. May 16.-The
bodies Of eight men, horribly mangled.
scalded and disfigured, were picked out
from the ruins Of the Pack, Haskell g.
Cobbs saw mill here. the victims of the
explosion of the boiler in the mill. Five
were dead and two of the others have

steam, generated in an old 80.horse-

been condemned by an inspector few
days before because the steam gauge
failed to record accurately the amount
of steam pressure.
Thirteen men were at work when
a bolt broke, shutting down operations.
While it was being repaired nobody
paid any attention to the boiler, which
was making steam at a prodigious rate,
for hot fire had been kindled under it.
Suddenly there came boom as Of
cannon, followed by cloud Of steam,
dust and smoke, which rose high in the
air. Four Of the victims were torn
limb from limb and their remains scat
tered about the mill. The mill was al

SEAL FISHERY REGULATIONS

Crisis in the Negotiations Caused by Great
Britsin's Action.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-An ugly cri-
sis has been reached in the negotiations
between the United States and Great
Britain looking to the adoption OF uni
form regulations for the government OF
the seal fishery this season. The Brit
ish government positively refuses to
re.enact the regulation Of last year,
which prohibits the carrying Of fire.
arms by sealing vessels through the
zone north of the 35th parallel during
the closed season. The United States
officials look upon this as disastrous to
the seal fisheries. holding that the re-
suit will be to relieve the pelagic seal
ers of the only restriction which has
operated to prevent an unlimited
slaughter of the herds. While killing
by firearms remains illegal, it is real
lied that it will be impossible to en-
force this prohibition if arms can be
freely carried, for the sealers would
kill secretly unless they should happen
to be under the very eye Of revenue
cutter.

A. R. u. MEN FIRED
Prominent Officials of That
Order Let Out by the
Great Northern.
NO REASON FOR THE ACT GIVEN.
Considerable III Feeling Re-
suits and a Strike Is
Not Unlikely RI

CHICAGO, May ia special to The
Record from St. Cloud, Mimi, says:
What is regarded as direct blow at
the A. R. u. was struck by the Great
Northern during the afternoon when
Division Superintendent j. B. Rice,
acting under written instru; tions from
General Superintendent McKenna, dis
charged the three most prominent local
A. R. U. men, all train dispatchers en-
ployed by the company. The news
created sensation as no cause was as
signed, and because it il believed by
many, and so asserted by the dis
charged men, that it is on account of
their utilization with the A. r. U. The
three men are W. H. Clark, president
of the union; A. E. Buser, secretary,
and Samuel WEIGH, delegate to the
last national convention in Chicago
The men have been very active in in.
creasing the membership Of the local
union Clark is one of the oldest rail
road men here and the other two have
been in st. Cloud for some time.
Trouble Not Unlikely.
There can be no doubt that the COM
pany's action is significant, and it is
reported that other discharges Of A. R.
u. men are to follow. The A. r. U.
will without question demand the rein
statement of the men or a good and
sufficient reason for their discharge,
which, it is claimed, cannot be given,
as the men have always borne the rep
utation of being most excellent EN-.
ployes.
The only view to be taken Of the
case at this time is that the men were
discharged because they were agitators,
and, if this proves to be the case, the
next few days will witness trouble of
serious nature between the Great
Northern and the American Railway
union.

Powers Intimate That Reform In Armonio
Would He . Good Thing.
CoNsTANT1NoPLE, May 1.-THE COM
mission which has been investigating
the atrocities in Armenia traversed the
devastated villages and arrived at jelly
goozan, (also written Ghellyguzan)
where 12O houses we're found to have
been burned. The people were sheltered
in miserable huts, and ample proof was
found of the truth Of the stories told
regarding the massacre of Armenians,
and the fact that bodies were thrown in
large numbers, into a pit where the
Turks endeavored to conceal their
crime by pouring barrels of petroleum
on the bodies and setting fire to the oil.
The flames, however, failed to consume
the mass and a stream was damned
and diverted from it's course in order to
wash away the half-burned bodies.
But even this failed to obliterate the
terrible evidence against the Turks and
the local authorities were compelled to
remove the remains piecemeal. The
villagers had removed the bulk of the
bodies and inferred them in conse-
Grated ground before the arrival of the
commission at Jellygoozan. The COM
mission has returned to Mo0sh.
Addressed Notes tn the Porte.
AS result of the investigation, and
the reports of the delegates Of the pow
ers,, the powers have submitted notes
to the Turkish government, impressing
upon the porte the necessity OF
promptly inaugurating a scheme for
Armenian reforms, which should in
olude the appointment of Christian
officials in Armenia, the powers to have
the right to veto the appointment of
the governors. The notes of the dele
gates of the powers do not base their
suggestions on the Sassoun outrages,
but on the generally unsatisfactory
condition of Armenia.

P1TrsBuRa, May 15.-The board Of

raise takes effect on June l. The no
tees read as follows,
Notwithstanding the existing con-
tracts between the Carnegie Steel com
pany and it's employees, fixing the
rate of wages for 1895, this association
has decided that the present business
outlook will justify higher rates, and
accordingly takes pleasure in notifying
its employees that from June l, 1895,
and until further notice, the scale rates
paid to all tonnage, day and turn men
will be increased 10 per cent; this
without prejudice to the 1895 wage
contracts still in force"
Suggested by Carnegie.
This action is entirely opposed tt
what members Of the board gave out
after Saturdays meeting on the de-
mand for an increase made by the fur
nacs men at the Edgar Thompson fur
naces. 1t is claimed, however, that
Mr.. Prick cabled to Andrew Carnegie
In England and that the increase was
first suggested by Mr.. Carnegie.
1t is not known what effect this &C.
ton will have on the fight of the Anal
gamated association in other mills.
Outside manufacturers claim that in
many instances the Carnegie scale is &c

accurately by reason of the fact that
the improved machinery Of the Carne-
gle company's mills gives the men
much greater earning power than in
other mills.
