A CHANGE OF FRONT.

NEW ORLEANS SCREWMEN CONSENT TO A
 REDUoTIoN-MIDDLEMA NOT IN IT.
 NEW ORLEANS, March 1.-The screw men of the port have effected change of front, and from today will screw cotton in steamships for 35 cents per bale on steam and 45 on sailing vessels.
 The conditions that have brought about the present situation gre well known, the cutting of prices by the negro labor of the port finally bringing about the procedure of the white screwmen. They have also announced that they have cut adrift from the middleman, in the person of the stevedore, for the white laborers are not all reticent in stating that much of their labor troubles are directly due to the way their interests have been handled by the steye- dores of the port. A further cut has been made by the white laborers. Tobacco will be slowed for go cents a hogshead, as against tue old price of S1 10.
 mediateIy resumed on the ievee by the made by their agent they will take hold. It remains to be seen what effect the reduce ton made by the white laborers will have on the ship agents. These have all along professed the best intentions toward the white screwmen, and have time and again stated that if the price of labor was re- duced they would in every case discrimi- nate in favor oi ihe white association. The Harrison lire pays its men 40 cents per hour, their agent having fine opportun mites offered 10 indicate his preference for the quality of labor he desires employed about his vessels.

THE MOBILE VERSION
OF FIRING BY A BRITISH VESSEL ON ONE OF
 UNCLE sAM's PRIVATE CRAFT.

OF FIRING BY BRITISH VESSEL ON ONE OF
 UNCLE sAM's PRIVATE CRAFT.
 MOBILE, March 1.-The impression here is that fl any vessel was fired upon near Bluefields by a British warship it was the small schooner Meteor, which left here February 16, commanded by DavId w. Davis. The vessel had a cargo of lumber and several cases labelled books, but whether the eases contained books or not is what no one knows. The vessel carried as passengers to Corn island Mir. and Mrs. Aldrich, who live at Corn island.
 Aldrich had chartered the vessel for previous voyage, when, as Captain Davis' wife, who lives here, admits, the charge was made that munitions of war had been carried, but her husband told her that he had too much at stake to enter upon so foolhardy @ business. Nevertheless, as Captain Davis was sick at home part of the time the vessel was loading, 1t is possible that she had war material put aboard with out his knowledge.
 That something of the sort was contem- plated is iu evidence from the statement of a cousin of Captain Davis, that a proposi- tion was made to him to take quantity of ammunition to Bluefields, but he refused to do so, as be was to have a lady, Mrs. Aldrich, on board. The vessel was loaded at point three miles above the city, op- posite powder magazine, and was not in- apected

CRESCENT CITY RACES

NEW ORLEANS. March 1.-The weather prophets have again turned loose the watery clements upon the Crescent City winter meeting, and the track, which was rapidly drying, was converted into the old sea of mud.

A GHASTLY FIND.
Jhe Horribly Butchered Body of 8 New York Travelling Man Found
 in New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, La. March 1.-The dead body of 8. w. H. King of Albion, N. Y. :, was found early this morning near the crossing of the Louisville and Nashville and the Northeastern railroad tracks. The remains were in about feet of water and with face downward. A laboripg man made the discovery and notified the police. Two officers were sent on a hand car to the spot where the body lay.
 Examination disclosed three terrible gashes in the back of the head, either one being sufficient to cause death. Upon turning the body over it was seen that there was another great gash In the fore- head, just over the left eye. There was still another deep cut on the left side of the face. just at the point of the jawbone. The water in which the body was lying was colored by the blood. The remains were put on a stretcher and carried with some difficulty to the car, on which they were placed. The body was brought to the city and transferred to the morgue at the Gen. tral station to be viewed by the coroner.
 There 1t was identified by Mir. Lacost of No. 58 Royal street. Lacost said that he had known King for about four wears. He was employed by Waterman & Co.,, pho- togra phers of Chicago, and had visited this city off and on for the past four years.
 He had been here continually for the past year and half, and formerly boarded at fhe house, No. 58 Royal street. King was 32 years of age and has parents residing at Albion, N. Y.
 Robbery was evidently the motive of the murder, as the pockets of the deceased were found to be turned inside out.

HIS DREAM VANISHED.

budget was continuei in the reichstag to- day. Chancellor Won Hohenlohe declared that the proposed increase of the numbsr of cruisers was necessary for efficient pro- tection of German transoceanic commerce. Other nations, he sad, had surpassed Ger many in technical construction and arma- ment of their vessels. Many of Germany's s ships which some years ago were in good condition are now of no valne. 'We will not create great navy,' the chancellor continued, sbut will merely preserve what we have. My dreams have been aimed at q great German navy crossing the ocean, but these dreams have vanished in view of the condition of the reichsiag and the state of our finauces ''

THE CLOSING HOURS
Of the Fifty Third Congress Bid Fair to Be Stubborn, and Sunday
 Session Is Possible.

WASHINGTON, March 1.--Present appear ances indicate that the closing hours of congress will be marked by a stubborn fight on the part of both houses over amend ments which have been inserted in several appropriation bills. The sundry civil ap- propration bill, which was reported back to the house today, contains POO senate amendments, and it was characterized by one of the democratic leaders of the house this morning as ''the most shameful exhi- bltlon of prohigacy that congress has known for thirty years.'
 While members of the house appropria- tions committee. who will be upon the committee of conference admit that they may make many concessions, yet they in- sist on the other hand that they will allow
 the bill to fail rather than to agree to all the anne ndments which have been inserted
 since the measure went to the senate. The item in the consular and diplomatic appropriation bill for the Hawaiian cable
 is still in dispute, and is serving as fruit ful source of discussion between its friends
 and opponents at the two wings of the cap-
 itol. So pronounced are some of the lead
 CTS of the house in their opposition to this
 item that they insist that this. bill shall
 also be permitted to fail before they will
 agree to the appropriation.
 spirited, though brief, contest is an-
 ticipated over the naval bill. It is be-
 lieved in the house that the senate will
 strike out the appropriation for at least
 one of the battle chips, and if this be done
 vigorous effort will be made to have the
 appropriation reinserted in con ference.
 Speaker Crisp said last evening that the house would probably be in session until
 midnight Saturday, and that a continu-
 ous session would be held from Sunday
 evening until the hour of adjournment at
 noon on the following Monday. He did
 not believe that a session Sunday would
 ha rac hr1t ha odd cd haf
 be held if it were necessary to close up the
 unfinished business.

INHABITANTS BADLY SCARED.

ST. LOUIS, March LA special from Ayatlan, h the state of Guerrero, Mexico, says the inhabitants of that district and sout western Mexico are thoroughly alarmed over the frequent earthquake shocks which have occurred during the past month. Although little damage was done, on account of the absence of high buildings, the hepless inhabitants are in great trepidation over a sudden catastrophe. The shocks-are accompanied by subterra- mean rumblings, followed by a discharge as from artillery which shakes the earth for nearly half minute at time. The recent outbreak of a sub oceanic volcano of the Pacific coast of Guerrero is ascribed as a reason Tor the unusual and frigntful demonstrations.

 The building, which was six-story one, was being torn down in order that four flat houses might be erected in it's place.

After a few moments work the fremen dug out a number of the unfortunate workmen, who had been buried in the ruins, ana they were sent to the hospital. The search for those who were more deeply buried was continued and soon several men were taken out. Two of them were dead, which left little hope for those who were still under the mass of bricks and iron girders. Sew eral of those taken out had been badly crushed. Their legs and arms were broken and they were otherwise injured. The list of the dead aud injured, so lar as is known, is as follows: Y
