NO ElcHT-HOUR STRIKES.
New York Employers Are An Granting the
Demands Made BY organized
jnhor

NEW YORK, N. Y, April 20.-New
York, 1T is now believed, will be practic-
ally free from the big eight-hour strikes
which are agitating the country, on May
l. 1t has SO happened that New York.
winch has taken the lead in the eight
hour movement, has secured the eight
hour day quietly in nearly all building
trades. Many other trades have also Sc
cured eight hours without a strike, and
thus this city on May 1 will be favored
spot. President Gompers of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor will return to the
city to-day.
President Harris of the Cigar-makers'
Union, No. 144 who is also president of
the state branch of the federation, said
yesterday:
"As it looks now there will be few if
any e1ght-hour strikes in New York. The
strikes will be in the outside towns. Most
OF the mem bers of the Brotherhood of
Carpenters-the trade selected by the fed
Grafton to make the eight-hour struggle
this year-have already the eight-hour
workday. Many other trades which have
secured the eight-hour workday in New
York will have to strike for it in other
cities.
ut is generally recognized that the dis
placement of the men by machinery can
be best met by shortening the working
day. This rule has been lived up to better
in New York than any other city. Other
trades which have secured eight hours will
have celebrations on or about May 1.
They will chiefly take the form of indoor
mass-meetings.
when the strikes are started on May 1
national eight hour association will be
formed. 1t will EN- brace all trades making
the demand, as well as the trades in this
city which have gained the demand.
Elght-hcur strikes next year will be under
the auspices and have the assistance and
cooperation of this National eight-hour
association"

GENERAL DEFICIENCY BILL.
IL Caused a Prolonged Debate in tn,
HotIse.

Ii Caused Prolonged Debate in the
House.
WASHINGTON, D. O., April 20.-After
passing few private bills the House spent
the remainder of the session to-day in the
consideration of the general deficiency
bill-the general appropriation bills. A
prolonged debate was occasioned by the
paragraph appropriating $S50,O00 to sup
ply deficiency in the collection of the
customs revenues. The action of the Sec
retary OF the Treasury in increasing the
customs force at New York was criticized
by Hepburn (R.) of Iowa. This increase
was due, according to DIngIey (R.) of
Maine, to the change from specific to ad
valorem duties made by the Wilson
German act. A general com parison of the
tariff laws of 1890 and 1894, both as to the
revenue produced by them and the cost OF
collecting the same, and comparison of
the appropriations OF the past four Con-
crosses, made lively debate which lasted
nearly three hours. The committee con-
sluded consideration of the bill without
material amendment, and it was passed
by the House. At 6:05 clock the House
adjourned.
The San Francisco call., 1896-04-21
Judgment affirmed.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 2o.-The
appeal of Charles Thiede from the iudg-
ment of the Supreme Court of the Terri.
tory of Utah, which affirmed the sentence
OF the trial court that he be hanged for mur-
der, was disposed of to-day in the United
States Supreme Court, the judgment OF
the Territorial court being affirmed. There
is question as to whether the case should
be remanded to the Supreme Court of the
State of Utah or to the Federal court foI
TIE District of Utah. This will be ex.
amined by the Attorney General and his
suggestion thereto will be adopted by the
court 1t will probably go back to the
State court.

GeoD LUCK OF A BARBER.
Henry Schroeder the Hetr to Vast

Estate.
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., April 90
Henry Schroeder is the village barber in
the little borough of South River, six miles
from here. Before he was the barber he
was the Postmaster, and he lost the office
for offensive partisanship. Now he has
determined to give up his shop and take
possession of fortune to which he be-
lieves he is the heir. Some time ago he
saw an advertisement in German paper
for the heirs to the fortune of Teresa
Titiens, the famous singer. She left an
estate now valued at So, coo, 900, all of which
be thinks he is entitled to.
Titiens sang in this country in 1875. She
died in 1877. She left the greater part of
her wealth to her nephew, Peter Titiens
or Tltjens, but the will was contested, and
the legal controversy which followed
dragged along many years. Meanwhile
the nephew died. Schroeder's mother was
first cousin of the singer. Having gath
cred together what proofs he had he sent
them to the attorney mentioned in the
ad vertisement, and a few days ago re-
celved word that his claim was the best,
and that it would be to his advantage to
come to Hamburg. He is about So years
of age.

Many Democrats have all the
while hoped that the Republicans
would nominate Russell for Cover.
He is SO odious that they have
felt that he could be beaten more
easily than any one else. 1t may be
so, but at the same time he would,
as Governor, be SO dangerous to the
peace OF the State that the Observer
would always rather have CHANGED a
atronfier Republican, it a better one.
1t is frank TO say that it would have
preferred to see Dockery, Boyd
Moody, or even Ihsk nominated. l,
may be best. Russell will make a
campaign which will greatly in1ame
his own party, especially the ne
groes. While doing this, he will
also greatly infurIate the white PEG
pie against himself and his party
Thus it may be that he will prove ar
instrument in the hands OF God &c
