MORE WORK FOR MINERS.
Ten Hours Now Constitutes a Days
Work at the Galleries Of the
D., L. and W. Co.

Orders have been issued by General
Coal Agent w. r. Storrs, of the Della
ware, Iackawanna and Western COM
pany, directing the collieries of that
company to work 10 hours a day and a
full week. This order will continue
for an indefinite length of time so far
as any one knows. The officials seen,
state that It represents really nothing
more than the usual summer demand
which comes this year later than usu-
al. To all appearances the bituminous
strike has nothing whatever to do with
the increased demand for the effects of
the strike are not yet apparent here
abouts.
There has come a general demand
for nearly all sizes of coal and this ac-
counts for the issuing of the increased
time order. The William Connell,
William T. Smith and Pancoast col
lieries will also work full time.
The conclusion to work about three
quarter time in the Delaware and Hud-
son collieries had just been reached
when The Tribune reporter appeared
yesterday. This time which stands for
the present may at any time be in
creased to full time in all collieries. 1t
entirely depends upon the continued
demand now current for all sizes.
In some cases this demand is great
er than the supply. In other cases a
winter surplus is available to a GER
tain limit. In answer to the question
as to how far the bituminous coal strike
effected them, it was stated that no
effect whatever is felt.
The Delaware and Hudson coal trade
is far removed from soft coal influence
and exists in a hard coal burning terri
tory 50 that it will not be Influenced
by the strike unless long continued
and then probably only so far as de-
mand for small sizes might exist.

New York Lad Picked Up Here After
Tramping for Six Weeks.

to seek his fortune.
He failed to find 1t in Jersey City,
Fort Jervis, Lackawaxen or Hawley.

He was thitherward bound when
halted by the police. He says he does
not know the four men who were in
the car with him and AYERS that they
came there after he had arrived.
His father, Frank Swartz, q cigar

HOHENLOHE RESIGNS.
The German Empire Will Have
Change of Chancellors.

Change of Chancellors.
Berlin, April 20.-Prince Hohenlohe,
the imperial chancellor, press corre-
spondent understands, in letter dated
from Baden Baden, April Is, forwarded
his resignation to the emperor. A
brisk exchange Of telegraph messages
followed. His majesty insisted upon
the chancellor retaining Office for the
present, in spite of the cogent reasons
cited in Prince Hohenlohe's letter, urg-
Ing that his resignation at this juncture
would seriously embarrass the emperor.
Prince Hohenlohe again and again in
sisted that, apart from other serious
reasons, his health just now is of the
worst. The prince subsequently went
to Paris, where his wife had preceded
him.
As reasons animating him to resign,
Prince Hohenlohe urges his inability
to carry out his solemn promise to sub
NIT to the reichstag and to the diet two
bills, one placing the Prussian law reg
ulating political meetings upon more
liberal and modern basis, and the other
reforming the procedure of military
trials.
The princes inability to carry out
his promise is said to be due to the ex-
treme reactionary attitude of Baron Won
der Horst, Prussian minister of the
interior. At this moment it is impos-
sible to say how the crisis will end, but
in the critical situation of Europe a
change of chancellors would be danger

An American Flag Was Destroyed
by Spanish Soldiers in Santa
Clara-Gen. weyIer's Latest Order.
Philadelphia, April ia private
meeting of Cubans and Cuban sympa-
thizers was held in this city today, at
which it was decided to take steps to
Illustrate what the Cubans claim is the
real object Of Major Luno Sandoval's
visit to this city. This is said to be
the arrest of the members of the Cuban
junta in this country. It has been
, stated that Major Sandoval came to
Philadelphia to purchase munitions of
war to be shipped in the general way to
General Weyler in Cuba. Leading
Cubans, however, assert that it is to
gather information that will culminate
in the arrest of General Estrada Palma
and General Quesada in Washington.
The former is the minister of the Cuban
republic, and the latter charge d 'affaires
at the capital. 1t is asserted that Major
Sandoval has been commissioned by
General Weyler for this express pur-
pose, and is known to have in his pos
session documents found on the steamer
Laurada on one of her trips to Cuba,
showing the parts played by Generals
Palma and Quesada in her movements.
Should the arrest of the junta lead
ers result, and the issue be made in
court as to the liability of such pol
icy, there will be a question of juris-
diction that will not only involve the
interstate commerce laws, but also ques-
tions Of belligerency and the customs
comfy of nations

Hopes to Be Pardoned.

Havana, April a0.-A press CORE

ment of the visit the general was lying

situated, and the two officers have a
servant who attends them. They have
comfortable beds and good meals sent
in daily from restaurant near by.
Neither has any special complaint to

SITUATION BIGGS.

Flood Destroying Thousands of Acres
of Newly Planted Crop.
Memphis, April 21.-Another break
in the levee on the Louisiana side is re-
ported from point twenty miles be-
low Natchez, Miss. The details at this
writing are meager. and the extent of
the break cannot be learned. The
situation at Biggs, where the water Is
rushing through the crevasse in tor
rents, is growing worse. Madison par
ish is fast becoming inundated, and
the water will extend to other parishes,
destroying thousands of acres Of newly
planted crops. Vicksburg, Natchez and
other river points are crowded with
refugees, and everything possible is be-
ing done to alleviate the sufferings of
the poorer classes. The situation
throughout the delta tonight is about
the same as yesterday. 1t was beau
tiful day in the food-stricken section,
and the planters hope that the water
will be carried away in time to make
good crops At Memphis, the river is
slowly falling, and at Cairo a decided
fall is reported.

An Ohio Town Burned.

Cleveland, April 21.-The business
portion of Berea was nearly wiped out
by fire this morning. The high wind
prevailing made it almost impossible, to
check the flames, which seemed likely
to encompass the entire town. The
total loss will reach $4,000. Berea
has no waterworks, and there was small
hope of saving the town. A detach-
nent. of,the Cleveland fire department,
with fourteen men, secured water from
branch of the river, about a quarter
of a mile from the town. The cause
Of. the fire was attributed to tramps,
and Deputy Sheriff Asling escorted
three of them out of town. To add to
the excitement dog went mad and
bit several people before it was shot.

WHEAT TAKES A JUMP.

New York Goes Up Four Cents on Re-
ports of War In the East.
New York, April 20.-There was
tremendous excitement in the wheat
market today. Prices advanced cents
a bushel in little over two hours.
Dealings ran up into the millions. The
shorts were completely stampeded, and
their orders to buy flooded the market
from start to finish. War news and
foreign buying were the factors which
occasioned the tumult. The foreign
buying was by far the heaviest seen in
long time. No limit was set on the
execution Of foreign orders, which read
"Buy wheat" and it was bought in at
any figure. During the regular session
May went from 1871 to 7S cents, and
later on the curb to 1914 cents. To
other influences was added the export de-
mand at the close. Liverpool taking

fever heat all day, and left off at its
widest point. Total sales were be-
tween 5000, 900 and $500, 900
