LOOKED LIKE A RIOT.

Striking Coal Heavers Refuse to Al
low New Men to Take Their Places.
Cincinnati, o., March 1s.-A battle be-
tween the striking coal beavers and new
men at Addison seemed imminent this
morning. The strikers numbered 15O
mostly colored. Several days ago their
wages were reduced and they had been in
a belligerent mood. A number of them
quit work. This morning they made a
demand for an increase over the present
pay, which was refused Then they re-
fused to go to work and lined up along the
Baltimore and Ohio tracks. The strikers
carried clubs or rocks. and freely an
nounced their determination to prevent
anybody from taking their places. The
situation was very glum one for the
big steel works. Without fuel the great
concern would have TO shut down and
permit it's fires to blow out. Superintend-
ent Candy at once started to gather in a
force of men to take the places of the
strikers. The action Of the men was
wholly without warning, excepting the de-
mand made upon Superintendent Candy.
The men, upon refusing to work, were
ordered from the premises, but they merely
retreated to the tracks and stood their
ground. The company concerned is the
Addison Pipe and Steel Works.

New York, March 1s.-The following
statement was given out to-day:
Astor House. New York, March IS, 1895.
TO the Press of New York city: The de

has made public through the press GER
tain statements regarding the financial
condition of Alabama, which, We in jus

a duty to refute. The inference one would
have from his interviews in which he
states that the credit of Alabama is so
good. would be that the state is in
peaceful and prosperous condition. This
not being the case, the facts are that
under the preceding administration the
government of Alabama became in such
straits that the then de facto governor
Thomas G. Jones, recommended that the
taxes be raised to meet the existing de-
ficiency. He also, without authority of
law, borrowed money to prevent crisis.

forty rounds Of cartridges buckled
around their waists, his counted
in administration has found it necessary
to not only raise the tax rate but also to
provide a new and unjust revenue law to
attempt to save the state from another
impending bankruptcy.
If such conditions make good the credit
of a state then it may exist for Alabama,
but business men win deem 1t otherwise,
especially when a great majority of the
people of Alabama do not now recognize
Col Oates as the legally elected governor
OF the state.
Alabama's de facto governor is engaged

London. March 1s.-A dispatch to the
Central News from Shanghai says st is
reported that China has a secret agree
ment with Russia whereby the latter is
to intervene If Japan insists upon any ter
ritorial cession as the price of peace.
As China is relying on this, the result Of
peace negotiations Is doubtful.
The Europeans connected with the Chi
nese army and navy at Wei-Hai- Wei have
arrived at Tien-Tsin and have been paid
off and discharged.
New York, March 1s.-A special to the
Herald from Shanghai says: "a terri
BILE disaster has befallen the Chinese troops
in Manchuria. Their entire supply of pro-
visions for three months has been cap
tured near Niuchwang by the Japanese.
A special correspondent of the Herald is

KILRAIN BACK IN THE RING.
He Faces Corbetts sparring Partner
for Eight Rounds.

Tor Eight Rounds.
Boston, Mass, March .1S.-After an
absence Of four years from the ring,
Jake Kilrain of Baltimore faced Steve
oDonnel of Australia, better known as
"Corbetts sparring partner" for eight
rounds tonight at the Suffolk Athletic
club
The contest was declared draw amid
the widest excitement the like of which
has never been witnessed in Boston. Kill
rain had plenty Of sympathizers, among
them John l.. Sullivan, who occupied a
seat behind him. He urged his old time
opponerF on during the fight arid it
seemed to give Kilrain encouragement
O'Donnel, although a much lighter man
than Kilrain, did not show up to ad-
vantage, and he disappointed the spec
tators, who expected to see a clever
fighter. 1t was apparent as soon as Kill
rain stepped into the ring that he had
been drinking and was not in a fit condj-
tion to fight His stomach was large and
he was very fieshy. He had not lost any
of his old-time cleverness, and it was
used to advantage.
At one time it looked as though he would
not be able TO continue on his feet as his
wind was poor; but at critical times he
rallied and showed wonderful strength
When the fight was finished referee
Sheppard held his decision for a few min
utes, while the 1,50O spectators yelled XII
rain" at the top of their voices.
When he called it a draw he met with
the APPROVAL of every person in the hall
Kilrain weighed 220 pounds and O'Donnel
175. Neither man suffered any serious
damage, but both were badly winded and
neither would have lasted much longer.

Washington, March 1s.-The nomination
of John B. Hercd, who was to-day COM
missioned by the President as secretary
Of legation In Japan, was sent to the Sem
ate for the same position on Feb. 2l last
and failed Of confirmation. There was
no objection to his appointment from the
Indiana delegation, but 1t was simply one
Of those matters which was overlooked
In the rush at the end of the session. Mr.
Herod has been second secretary OF the
legation since Jan 4. 1888, and since the
vacancy in the position Of first secre-
tary, caused by the promotion Of Edwin
Dun as minister on April last, he has
filed the position without the salary, his
salary being $500. instead Of sees al
lowed to the first secretary. This legation
has had harder work, probably, than any
legation Of the United States during the
past year, and II was deemed a simple
matter of justice to promote Mr.. Herod,
who has rendered very efficient service.

London, March 1s.-The Daily Telegraph
has a Moosh dispatch sub-dated from Kars
yesterday The dispatch says: 'The diff
ficulties placed in the way of witnesses
coming to testify before the commission
of inquiry are almost insurperable. Every
road is patrolled by bands of gendarmes,
who put intending witnesses out of the
way. Persons from villages in the Sas-
soun district and survivors OF the massa-
ere are treated as criminals The Arrne-
nian who feeds or shelters them is i'm
prisoned and beaten. The testimony of
several witnesses piles horror on horror
For instance, a witness hiding in the oak
scrub saw soldiers gouge out the eyes
of two priests who, In horrible agony.
implored their tormentors to kill them
But the soldiers compelled them to dance
while screaming with pain, and presently
bayoneted them.
THE number Of witnesses Is increasing
The stories are essentially Identical. The
mass of evidence is so overwhelming
that the government may soon admit that
the massacre has been proved and relieve
the commission OF further inquiry. When
the weather shall permit the members

SOLE LEATHER ADVANCING.
Shoe ManufncturerS Caught With
Small Stocks and Big Orders.


Small Stocks and Big Orders.
Haverhil, Mass. March 1S.-Anxiety
and uneasiness were pictured on the
countenances of the local shoe manufac-
turers this morning as they rushed about
in their endeavor to purchase sole leather
at the old figures. The price was re-
Gently advanced 215 cents per pound and
the dealers notified their customers to-
day that a further advance of cents had
been made, and there was almost panic
among the smaller shoe manufacturers
IN regard to the issuance of the notice.
The manufacturers had been caught on
the port side, and the advance has caused
them much worriment, as they had taken
their orders at a small profit, and now
the advance, right in the middle of the
busiest shoe business season ever known
at this season of the year. has swept
away all their profits and they will have
10 manufacture their goods at a loss.
The leather dealers claim that the ad-
vance is due to the scarcity Of hides and
they predict that the end of the advance
IN prices is not in sight. The local deal
ers have their stores well stocked with
leather, and win not be affected, but the
advance in prices means much to the man
ufacturerS.

One Brother Shot Dead and the other
Fatally Wounded.


New Orleans. La. March 1S.-A negro
shot two brothers named Pattingill to-day.
killing one and fatally wounding the
other, for a most trivial cause. The
young men had propensity for teasing
every one. Frank Pattingin was in the
second story of the factory where the
young men were employed, looking out of
the window, when he saw the negro be-
meath on the pavement at work moving
barrels in the next door where he was
employed. In a spirit of fun, the young
men threw down a few chips or splinters
on the negros head. The negro looked
up and applied a vile epithet TO Pattingill,
and made other threats Harry Pattingill
then said to his brother that he ought not
to take that The boys then went down
stairs, probably to punish him for his in
science. On reaching the banquette, the
negro drew a revolver and began firing,
striking Frank In the left breast, killing
him almost instantly and shooting Harry
in the breast near the right arm. The
negro was arrested.
