New ORLEANS, La, May 2.-The
nearer draws the day when the leg
islature will convene, more desper-
ate does the chances for a peace
able Inauguration Of the governor
elect become.
Although the election is more
than week past both republicans
and democrats are claiming the
state by large majority and II no
compromise is made, it is reason
ably certain that trouble will be
the outcome Of the attempt to in
augurate either Foster or Parr at
Baton Rouge on May 18th.
Thousands Of both faiths from
this city will 60 there "to protect
their rights" they say, and the
knowing ones say this means ii
they cannot seat their respective
governors peaceably they will
forcibly.
Talk OF dual government
seems to die out, and in its place
a decided determination to seat
the respective governors has crept
out. This Is all confirmed by a
telegram tonight from Baton
Rouge, which demonstrates that
the administration is preparing
for any emergency. The dispatch
says:
Thursday night Captain Good
man received orders from Major
Stephens, acting adjutant general,
notifying him to move the guns
and ammunition belonging to the
Baton Rouge Fencibles and the
Ogden Light Guards from the
armory to the parish jail. A large
invoice of ammunition and guns,
contained in four boxes, today
were unloaded from a dray, and
stored in the state house. Major
Stephens admitted that the guns
and ammunition were shipped
from New Orleans. These facts
foreshadow that the administra-
ton is preparing to maintain quiet
and good order and would indicate
that stormy times are expected.
At any rate, judging from all ap.
pearances, the situation is exceed
ingly grave"

PITTsFIELD, Mass, May e.
The strike inaugurated by the
Bricklayers', Plasterers' and
Masons' union yesterday bids fair
to assume serious aspect and to
greatly cripple local builders.
Many blocks and houses now in
process of erection in this city are
badly set back by the strike and
contractors are much puzzled with
the situation. Two hundred brick
layers and masons are now out.
Fully as many carpenters will
join the strike. The prospects Of
success are evident. A united
effort is on foot to make the con-
tractors give ten hours pay for
nine hours work.

THE MCKINLEY BOOM.

Senators Tillman and John Sherman
Both Predict Mex inley As the
Nominee-Quay Doesn't Take
the Matter Seriously.
By Special Wire to the SUNDAY LIGHT.

By Special Wire to the SUNDAY LIGHT.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-The over.
throw of Senator Cullom in the
Illinois state convention is the one
topic for discussion in the senate
chamb Der. But one senator was
outspoken in the expression Of his
delight,and that was Mr.. Pritchard,
Of North Carolina, who has been
making a fight against heavy
odds to carry his state for the Ohio
candidate. Mr.. Pritchard says that
all is over now but the shouting.
Mr.. Sherman declined to say
anything on the subject, believing
that people could put their own
construction on the result.
Senator Chandler, who will be
remembered as the author OF two
letters accusing the Mckinley
managers of frying the fat out OF
manufacturers, refused to talk. He
simply smiled and pointed to his
campaign button, on which ap-
peared this inscription: 81 have
troubles enough of my own, don't
mention yours"
Mr.. Quay does not appear to take
the situation seriously and observ-
ed that some of the delegates Sc
lected were not Mckinley men at
heart. He did not assert, however,
that the men to whom he referred
would 60 contrary to the plain in
structions of the convention.
Several interesting conferences
were held and Messrs. Carter,
chairman of the national commit.
tee, Quay and Chandler, frequent
ly had their heads together.
Mr.. Carter, when asked for an
expression Of opinion, said that he
had steadfastly RETAINED from
making any upon the strength of
any of the candidates, and he did
not care to break his rule. 1t is
quite evident, however, that the
unexpected result Of this conven-
ton has disconnected the anti-Mc.
Kinleyites.
Friends of Allison, Reed and
Quay, however, put on bold front
and say that the end is not yet (;
that Mckinley will only be justi :
fed in claiming the nomination
after q ballot has been taken and
the result announced.
Tillman, the democratic senator
from South Carolina, who has just
returned from a tour west, declares
that indications point unmistak-
ably to the selection of Mckinley.
1t matters little to him he says,
whether the platform declares
for the gold standard or is a
"straddle" and it makes no differ
ence what his platform says. Sher-
man has certified that he is gold
man, and Sherman's certificate is
good anywhere in Wall atreet.
Mr.. Mckinley will be the nominee,
and gold monometalism the plat
form of the republican party.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May q
The attempt of the Amalgamated
association of street railway en-
ployes to inaugurate strike upon
the lines of the Union Traction
company was a complete failure.
Only about $50 men responded to
the strike order and only on one or
two lines of the city in the early
morning hours were the regular
schedules not observed. By 8
o'clock every line was running as
usual.
The police, whose force had been
augmented by 800 specials, were
prepared for violence, but abso-
lutely no disorder took place and
only two arrests were made for in
reference with the company's
property.
Severe justice was melted out in
the criminal court to several as
ISOLATION men who assaulted nom
union conductors last week. James
Campbell was sentenced to the
penitentiary for two years, and
Wallace MCGEE and Joseph Dins-
more, who pleaded guilty to as
saulting, were sentenced to pay a
fine of $500 each, to undergo all i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary for
three years and to enter bail in the
sum of $500 each to keep the peace
for five years.
Nicolas Walther also pleaded
guilty to assault, but he was i'll
and sentence in his case was de-
ferred.
