Original Strikers Discharged and the End
Of the Trouble ut Hand.
CHICAGO, May 1.-THE police arc still
guarding the yards and works of the ILL.,
nois Steel company at South Chicago, but
the strikers did not make any demonstra-
tion and no collisions occurred between
the officers and workmen. Manager
Walker, of the steel company, said that
he had about ], 200 men ut work at the
mills. There are no furnaces running,
although fires are banked in four of them.
All men engaged in the strike will be
dropped from the books Of the company
and will not be re-employed. They num-
word to the skilled mechanics employed
In the steel works, who have not been at
work since the seventy men first went
out. that they might come back and GO to
work, il ley wished. About 500 men re-
sponded aud went to their customary
places.
The coremakers employed by tie Ma
tional Malleable Castings company, at
Blue Island and Western avenues, are on
strike. A petition was presented by the
men for n rcadjustment Of the scale Of
wages. The company did not look upon
1t favorably and discharged some Of their
oldest hands. whereupon the whole force
quit work. Tine National Malleable Cast
ings people claim that the strike is not af-
fecting them materially and that they
have not shut down at all. but admit they
are running with q greatly reduced force
In their core rooms.
The discharge Of the strikers Is o def.
ance Of the strike by the steel company.
None of the strikers has been permitted
to re-entcr the grounds of the company
for any purpose whatever; each man
tools and pay have been sent to his house,
and has been notified that he is dis
charged. The only place the police now
guard with assiduity Is Rettman's hall
This place is the stamping ground of the
strikers, and all the fights which have &C.
CURED have originated there. Although
no attempt to prevent meetings is made
the police are careful to prevent any sort
Of gathering on the streets.
Another Victory for the Amalgamated.

shiloh battlefield Association Reseuts
Lack Of Recognition.
MONTICELLO, Ills, April 2.-The
members of the Shiloh Battlefield as.
ISOLATION feel indignant that their asso-
citation has been ignored by the secre-
tary Of war in the appointment Of the
Shiloh commission, as they had asked
the appointment in recognition of what
they had done in forwarding the Move
ment. The commission ignores not only
the association but the state of ulino. 8,
which had more troops in the battle
than any state in the Union, yet it has
no representation on the commission
at all. The association holds
the land of the BATTLEFIELD under
legal option until March 4, 1896, and
they will undoubtedly purchase the
land under the option. and proceed to
improve the same as a battlefield park,
under the charter of the association
which has been granted by the State Of
Tennessee for this especial purpose. "A
syndicate of wealthy men has offered
to ful nish the money for the purchase
Of the entire battlefield for the associa-
ton.

" BOILERS BURST
Frightful Explosion in a Tam
merry in a Massachusetts
Town.
FIVE MEN WERE KILLED
And as Many More Badly In
Observation-Disclosures Crushed
Buildings.

WoBURG, Mass, April 3. Just be-
fore Z o'clock one Of the boilers in the
Conn tannery in this place exploded
with terrific force, killing five men and
njuring six others.
There has been trouble with the
boiler for some time. and early in the
morning John Parker, foreman Of the
plant, was called to the boiler room to
zee if it could not be fixed. 1t was
found tina the water supply could not
be satisfactorily adjusted, but this was
remedied. By the time the tannery
opened for the day, it was thought that
the boiler was all right. Five minutes
before Mike Parker entered the boiler
room and ordered that the whistle be
blown to start the works. The rope
attached to the whistle was pulled and
instantly there was
A Fearful Explosion.
The big iron smokestack ON the
boiler house was blown high into the
air and fell across the roof of the boiler
house, and the tall brick chimney fell
in u thousand pieces, crushing the en-
CINE reoaa beneath it. When the smoke
and dust cleared away, a scene Of
wreck and ruin was revealed. Men
hurried from all parts Of the town,
and the work Of rescuing those buried
under the ruins was begun at once.
The piteous cries of those pinned undar
the debris urged the men on to strenu-
Gus efforts, and in a short time the bod
les Of three men had been removed and
five Of the injured were taken out. 1t
was then found that one of the two
boilers had been blown to pieces, COM
pletely wrecking the boilerhouse and
demolishing several sheds near by. The
head Of the boiler fell $40 yards from
the tannery and the boiler tubes were
scattered in every direction.

MARKET FOR HORSES.
Consul Tinglc Thinks They Could He
shipped to Germany with Proht.

Consul Tingle Thinks They Could He
shipped to Germany with PROFIT.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-In view of
the closing of German markets to
American cattle, there is another direc-
ton towards which American packers
might well turn their attention, and
that is the preparation and sale of horse
meat. The above is the suggestion
made by United States Consul E. w.
Tingle of Brunswick, Germany, in .
report to the state department. He says
that in large rGerman cities the con-
sumption of horse meat is almost as
great as that of beef and mutton and it
Is growing in smaller towns. OF course,
the customers are exclusively OF
the poorer classes, but they comprise
nine-tenths Of the country and the meat
Is sold for z cents a pound, against beef
at from Is to % cents. The consul sets
out reasons to prove that horse meat is
quite as good as beef. He says the de-
mand has increased so rapidly in Ger
many that it is difficult to meet it, and
whereas, butchers formerly paid from
$5 to go for a worn out horse for
slaughter, they pay IS and $50 and
prices are rising.
Sees m Opportunity.
The consul sees here a great opportunity
for the American packers. He says the
horses in America are practically mex.
haustible; they car be raised in the
West cheaper than cattle and are more
easily shipped. The meat cannot be
canned, but it can be furnished sailed
or smoked as well as fresh, just Is it is
used in Germany. The report touches
upon the a~stonishingly RAPID disuse OF
horses in America consequent upon the
introduction Of the trolley car, which
has made horse raising in the West un-
profitable, and urges that the ranchmen
may find relief by raising horses for
food; the prejudice against the meat in
America being no good eason why we
shonld not profit by the different state
Of things in another country.

SECOND CLASS MAIL MATTER.

Lines Will He More Closely Drawn In the
Future.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-Assistant
Postmaster General Kerr Craig is very
busy trying to determine what is and
what is not second class mail matter.
The well known position of Postmaster
General Bissell on the subject of second
class matter, and his resolution to draw
the line between legitimate newspapers
and periodicals and those which are
published for advertising pur-
poses solely, has resulted in the
issuance Of instructions to post
masters to draw the line more
tightly and more publications are
rejected than formerly, or if admitted,
made subject to review by the depart
ment. The result is that publishers
and attorneys of publishers have been
frequenting the department., presenting
their side of the case and arguing for
the admission of their publications
without restrictions. All these matters
come before the third assistant post
master general for final determination,
and just at the present time there are
All unusually large number Of cases
pending.

THE COMING COMMITTEE MEETING

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Active pre- par
ations for the assem- bling next Tuesday
of the republican national committee to
select the time and place for the nation
al convention are being made. The ex-
ecutive committee of IL members meets
Monday night, and the full committee
will be called to order by Chairman Car
ter at IL O'Clock Tuesday, in the Arling-
ton hotel. Large delegations are ex-
pected from Pittsburg, San Francisco,
Chicago and st. Louis. While these are
the main contestants, New York state
will have delegation seeking the con-
vention with Saratoga as the convention
place. San Francisco has been showing
much activity and influence of late to
secure the convention. The main points
urged against going to the Pacific coast
are that the telegraph service would not
be sufficient and the difference of three
hours time would be detrimental to the
afternoon press of the East, during the
day sessions, and the morning press dur
ing the night sessions.
Pittshurg advantages are being urged
with equal vigor. Senator Quay has an
influential circle of friends in the COM
mittee and is urging the choice Of Pitts
burg.
