STORY OF A sCREWSIAN.
The Attitude of Their Organization
Explained.

New Orleans, La March 13.-Edward
McCubbin has been appointed by the
white screwmen as their agents to make
contracts with ship owners or agents
for the loading of vessels at 35 cents a
bale. He is a practical screwman and
very readily consented to talk.
Let me say first, before going into
the subject" said Mr.. McCubbin, that
the screwmen unreservedly condemn and
sincerely regret the occurrences on the
Ievee front yesterday. We recognize that
such outbreaks are hurtful to our inter
est, and we have sought with every
means in our power to restrain our men
from offering any violence to the. labor
employed on the ships. We believe that
the men who were guilty of shooting down
laborers yesterday ought to be brought
to justice and ought to be punished, and
we shall morally and otherwise support
public order in all these troubles. But It
is unjust to lay the blame of the respon-
sibility on the screwnen. We have a
large number of sympathizers whose
passions have been inhamed by the i'm
portation of labor from other cities, and
the outbreaks of yesterday and the day
before are attributable TO the feeling
that has thus been engendered. But the
screwmen as a body and as an organ
ization and a large preponderance of
the screwmen as individuals strongly
reprobate the violence on the front and
desire to see order restored.
"The screwmen have offered to load
ships at this port for S5 cents. The pub
~ is aware of that fact. When the cot
ton exchange and commercial bodies ap-
nealed to us to do something toward eff
fecting a settlement of the strike, we con-
ferred with stevedores, in some cases men
whom we have helped up from our own
ranks. and who are now In an independ-
ent position, with a view TO perfectug
some plan whereby furth ar trouble would
be prevented. We are told by one Of the

cIared COnStitutionaI.
Macon, Ca, March l8.-In the mandamus
case Of c. b. Massenburg against the
county commissioners relative to the Of
fice Of county treasurer, Judge Hardeman
rendered his decision to-day at 1880 o'clock
in which he ruled against Massenburg
and held that the special act of the legis-
lature which abolished the office Of county
treasurer Is constitutional.
Judge Hardeman gave a very elaborate
able and interesting decision which was
attentiyely listened to by the large num-
ber OF lawyers and others In court. lie
recited long list Of counties in the state
whore various county and state offices had
been consolidated. He quoted largely from
learned Jurists as a precedent for his
opinion.
Judge Hardeman commenced his decis-

sioners TO accept the bond of the relator
as county treasurer Of said county really
depends upon one question: Is the act OF
1877 aboAshng the Office of county treas
urer CONSTITUTIONAL Tho relator attacks
the act and says 1t is unconstitutional on
two grounds:
First, that its form, and Its tit'e is OBJ
noXious to the constitution Of 1868, arti-
Gle g. section A. paragraph 8. code Of 1873,
5O56 In that it contains matter differing
from the title and that the act itself con
tains more than one subject matter
Second, that the Office Of treasurer is a
constitutional office and cannot be abol-
ished by legislative enactment and he
claims that the constitution of 1868, arti-
Gle O. section ], code 5.140 50 declares 1t.
LET it be remembered in the outset OF
this inquiry that 1t is a most solemn mat
ter to declare an act Of the Legislature un-
constitutional"
on both grounds.

NEwFouNDLAND's CRISIS.
The British Government Declines to
Agree to Certain neaueafs.


Agree to Certain Requests.
London, March 13.-A parliamentary pa
per has been issued, giving the correspon-
dence between the authorities of New
foundland and the British government, in
regard TO the financial crisis in Newfound-
land. The paper contains a request from
Sir J. T. O'Brien, governor of New
foundland, for aid in procuring a loan OF
81 100000, together with war ship and the
appointment Of q royal commission for
the province. Lord Ripon's reply to these
requests says the home government will
do nothing In the matter until the commits
sion has made further inquiries.
Other requests are made by the New
foundland government, as follows: That
the home government sanction the issue
Of treasury notes; that they pass a bill
guaranteeing a certain value to all bank
notes; that they give assurance that the
London government Will not medde with
the constitution, and that they guarantee
10000 yearly for quarter of a century
as interest on the colony's bonds.
The home government, In reply, refuses
to give the assurance asked, and declines
to assume the guarantee, on the ground
that self-governing colonies should not
look to the imperial government for aid
in financial affairs. However, Lord Ripon
writes that the government would
despatch a commissioner to Newfound-
land, to relieve actual public distress from
treasury funds, but they would not eX-
tend assistance to commercial houses.
