GARMENT WORKERS FAIL.
The Strike is Declared 0ff-ResolutiOns to
Stand BY the Union,

BALTIMORE, March 31.-The gar
ment workers of this city, who
have been on strike for the past
five weeks, declared the strike of
last night, and will return to work
today if they can get their former
positions back. Over 6, O00persons
have been out, the strike having
been ordered under the sanction of
the American Federation of Labor,
of which the strikers were men,
bers. The Knights of Labor did
not go out, and the strike ulti-
mately resolved itself into a war
between the rival labor Organiza-
tions. The strikers, after deciding
to give up the contest, passed the
following resolutions:
"Whereas we, the organized gar
ment workers of Baltimore, have
refused to return to work for the
past five weeks, owing to the well
known existence of the black list
by the combined manufacturers,
the unjust conditions that were
continually imposed and the refus-
al to recognize our unions, al
though the employees them
selves are organized:
"Whereas our contest has been
handicapped by the unfavorable
state of trade and the almost SINH
lar struggles on the part Of our
brothers in Chicago and Cincin-
natl which cut of the necessary
financial support; thus making it
impossible for the union to conce-
trste its power in our behalf, there
fore;
"Resolved; that at present our
struggle for independence and JUS
tice be discontinued until such
time as circumstances are more
favorable.
"Resolved, That the general ex-
ecutive board be empowered to
take such action as they deem best
in order to protect our interests,
particularly those who may be
victimized through the black list
for daring to champion the cause
Of their fellow workmen; further
"Resolved, That each and every
one Of us pledge our word and
honor to remain true to the union,
realizing that our hopes for bet.
ter future depend entirely upon
the United effort through which
so much has been already accom-
plished."

A Crazy Printer on the Stage.

CHICAGO. March 81. - Robert
Rathman, a printer, reported to be
insane, interrupted the grand
opera of "Romeo and Juliet" at the
Auditorium last night. The cur
tain had been up on the balcony
scene but few minutes and Jean
de Rezk had started his lines:
"Oh wight spread out thy pin.
ions above me -.
"Stop, STOP" shouted Rathmap
as he climbed upon the stage from
the front and advanced toward de
Rezk. "Stop, say, and touch me
or you'll be sorry for it,"
The man removed his coat and
vest and cast them on the floor.
De Rezk took his advice and
stopped in amaZement. At the
same time William Perry, Of the
Opera company management,
stepped on the stage and walked
toward Rathman.
"Not another STEP" shouted the
latter, at the same time raising his
hand in a dramatic way. Mr..
Perry also stopped, but as he did
so he gave a signal and the curtain
was rung down. Rathman was be-
tween it and the foothold and Max
Dazold and Charles Gillickson,
stage hands, were sent out to re-
move him. Each seized one Of his
arms, and the man was led into
the wings, loudly protesting that
his captors were making tho mis-
take OF their lives in so handling
him. Rsthman was taken by the
police to Harrison street station,
where he talked in an incoherent
manner, claiming to be the son OF
God and to be possessed Of divine
powers.

Cisneros Denies all Charges.

NEW YORK, March 3l.-The Her.
aid today says: A manifesto signed
by Salvador Cisneros, president of
the insurgent Cuban government,
has reached the United States. In
it Cisneros states that the sugar
estates, which, in the eastern divi-
sion Of the island, have been per-
mitted to grind, while all others
in the west have, as he says, done
so simply by agreement. At the
beginning of the war in which ar
rangements were made between
the proprietors of said estates and
some of the Cuban leaders where
by the former, in consideration of
a "war tax" paid into the Cuban
treasury, were granted the priv
ilege of grinding under the protec-
ton of those leaders. The mani
festo also states that the insur-
gent armies have not burned coun-
try dwellings, except when used
by Spanish troops as forts and gar
risons, and that for the sake
of families, wives and children
of non-combatants, food is now
allowed to enter towns and cities
occupied by the armies of Spain on
the payment of an import duty.
Cisneros most emphatically denies
that bandits or outlaws form any
part or have any connection with
the Cuban army, and claims that
Notwithstanding the course of
Spain towards captured soldiers
and political prisoners the Cuban
government will not retaliate.
The manifesto concludes with
these words:
"We are now strong in numbers
and in hopes, but if our armies
should unfortunately suffer defeat
in the field we will never give up,
Cuba will perish with the world
looking on before renouncing her
one great hope and aim-inde-
pendence."

CLARKSON TALKS.
His Views Are Only Those of AlGson's
Special Pleader.

ST. LOUIS, March 3l.-The situs.
ton in a nutshell is this: Nobody
will enter the convention with
votes enough by about 100 to $50
to nominate him on the first, sec
ond, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, sew
enth, eighth, ninth or tenth bal
lots. The nominee therefore will
be second choice man.
mckinley leads today in the
master Of instructions and will
hold this lead. Allison is the
strongest second choice, and will
gain in strength right along. 1
therefore predict Allison's nomina-
tion."
The speaker was Hon. J. S.
Clarkson, Of Iowa, mem Der OF the
national republican committee,
who is here, with other members,
looking after convention matters.
Referring again to Mckinley.
Mr.. Clarkson said: "His canvass
has been so conducted as to ellen
ate all the second choice states
and for that reason he Is today the
weakest man in the race, conceed-
ing that he cannot be nominated
on the first ballot.

ton that will 60 to him when its
candidate is dropped. On the
other hand Senator Allison is the
second choice OF nearly every state
or district that has elected its dele
gates.
"Mr. Reed will have as much
strength in the south as McKin.
ley"
II have Just returned from a trip
through the west" continued Mr..
Clarkson. In all the region west
OF Nebraska, the sentiment is yet
uniformed as to men. The people
of the Pacific coast and mountain
states are discussing great issue
that Of money and not men. They
will send to st. Louis in June so or
100 delegates instructed solidly for
silver without reference to the
views OF any man on this great
question. That a vote so named
will have to be reckoned with and
that seriously, nobody with pre-
lenses to political foresight will
deny. Montana, Utah and Nevada
may send delegates to the con-
vention instructed for some pro-
nounced silver advocate, such as
Teller or Cameron. In fact | have
been informed that is what these
states will do"
The general was more reticent
when his attention was called to
the latest estimate Of McKinley's
strength made in Washington by
Gen. Grosvenor, and published in
a morning paper in which the
Ohioan was given 355 votes on the
fret ballot out OF the total OF 372
delegates up to Saturday night.
He studied the figures closely for
a long while and then said:
"This shows that they are still
claiming. They can claim all they
want. What we want and what
we are going to have, are votes"
Senator Thomas Carter, chair
man Of the national republican
committee, was asked:
ais it true you have discerned
the premonitary rumbling OF a
boom for Don Cameron in the
northwest"
ats more than premonitory
rumble. 1t is a roaring. l believe
that we will get the votes not only
OF Montana and the northwestern
states, but that those of the west
will generally come to him natur-
ally"

trouble over silver in the st. Louis

will say nothing"

Mr. Bryan said: There is something
