A BIG LOCKOUT IMMINENT.
cash Between Employers and Waikinq
delegates May Effect 10000 Men
IN the Guiding Traces


NEW YORK. N. Y. March 3I.AThe
Mason Builders Association at meeting
held last night in the Building Trades
Club to consider the situation of the build.
ing trade growing out of the arbitrary
strikes recently ordered by the board oi
walking delegates determined to resist
the exactions of that body and to open a
determined hight.
To make the fight effective they ap-
pointed a committee to obtain the CO.
operation of all the employers associa-
tions in the building trades
This step puts an end TO the agreement
which has existed for years between the
masons' and brickiayers' unions and the
Mason Builders Association. bv which
the union kept aIoof from the board oil
walking delegates and the association
from the other employers associat .ons.
This means that there will probably be
general lockout of all the men con-
nected with the board OF walking dele
gates ordered in few days. Such lock-
out will affect at least 10000 men.
In the event of a lockout they will be
allowed to return to work as soon as they
sever their connection wi h the board,
and the employers declare that nine
tenths OF the good workmen are willing
TO do so as soon as they learn that they
Will be protected against pathetic
strikes.
1t is certain, however, that the en-
ployers have decided that they will not
any longer submit to the authority of the
walking delegates. No notice will be
taken of Bishop Potter's attempt to arbi-
trate the trouble
The board OF walking delegates will
meet this afternoon and probably will then
decide upon an aggressive course of ac-
ton.
The State Board o. Mediation and Arbi-
tration arrived in town last night and will
offer their services as arbtrators to-day.
They will probably be rejected.

ing The Turks.
CANEA, CRETE March 81 - Colonel
Vassos has sent a long and strong protest
to the foreign admiras against the charges
concerning him which they have cabled
to their respective governments. The
protest is addressed TO Admiral Canevaro,
the Italian naval officer who is in com.
mand, by reason of seniority, OF the COM
bined fleets of the powers. Colonel Vas
SOS claims that Mussulman authorities
have armed the refugees who flocked to
this city and allowed them to sally forth
aud massacre Christians. He protests
also against the warships firing on the
Christians in occupation Of the coast
towns and others further inland without
a shadow of serious motive. After these
indictments, whirh are set forth at great
length. Colonel Yassos concludes:
Never before have religious passions
been so completely let loose The hatred
between the two elements of the Cretan
population knows no longer any bounds
All confidence has been destroyed, not
only in the benevolence but even IN the
justice ana humanity of the powers, and
the Cretan Christians whose SONG and
brothers have been massacred by the
Turkish bullets and European shells, and
who are now themselves threatened with
famine more destructive than war. are
hunted down and p>rsecuted by those
great powers who actuaIv Law claim to be
regarded as their friends a-d protectors.

NEW YORK. n. Y. March 31.-Sir
Francis Mclean, Chief Justice OF India
and chairman of the Government Relief
Committee, to-day forwarded the follow
ing cable message in response to the in
quiry by DR.. Louis Klopsch of the Chris
tian Herald as to the condition of the
famine and the needs of the com mittee:
CALCUTTA, March 80, 1897.
Kl0psch, Neao York: We require at least 80
lacs beyond the amount sIready received
Further appeals quite warranted.
SIR FRANCIS MCLEAN.
A lac is 100000 rupees, and "a rupee be-
ing equal to 81 cents, the amount required
by the com mittee. according to the ois-
patch, is 81, 600 900.
The Christian Herald has already cabled
$50 900 &c India. and is now completing the

MIGRATION OF DURXARDS.
Members OF the Sect fiocking From East
ern States to New Colony Founded
in North Dakotu

CHICAGO. ILL, March 31.-West Vir-
ginia, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia and Penn
sylvania were represented IN the two
parties of Dunkards that left this city
last night and this morning en- route for
the Dunkard colony at Devils Lake, n
Oak. At ST. Paul they will be re-en-
forced by delegates from Missouri, Iowa
and Kansas.
This is the fourth annual migration to
the North Dakota colony. which is in the
Turtle Mountain district. just south of
the Canadian boundary, and will give the
community a population of about 5000
souls.
The colonists who first tried the expert
ment were not well pleased with their ex-
perlences, but after the second year they
came TO the conclusion that move had
been made IN the right direction, and
since then each yearly exodus from the
East and NJ iddle West has shown an in
crease in mum bers.
Oyercrowding of the land which the
Dunkards have hitherto been settling is
given as a reason for their effort o CEN
traiize In North Dakota, the emigrants of
each State havin- colony of their own,
but the rules of all the colonies are the
same. In their religion the Dunkards pro-
Tess to follow the strict teachings of the
Scripture, and their national festival of
feet-washing is religiously followed.
They support no paid or trained minis
ter, choosing their preachers from the
congregation, and each person lays aside
10 per cent of ell earnings for the purpose
OF supporting the church, charities and
ed ucationai enterprises.
The Dunkards take little interest in pol
itics, never hold office, are forbidden by
their creed 10 engage in war, and wear
their headpieces at all times (including
church and meais). except when sleeping.

The serious charges which Secretary
SHERMAN brings against Great Britain in
the sealing controversy appear to strike
London commentators mainly as a display
OF bad manners.
We are not unused to that kind Of criti-
cism 1t greeted Mr.. OLNEY's dispatches

airy dispute. His bluntness in telling the
truth was another example of "the incura-
bly, bad manners of American diplomacy"
to use the Graphic'S phrase. and the Lon
don newspapers at first laid great stress on
that point; but 1t did not take long to find
out that the people of England were more
concerned about the matter than the man
ner OF the dispatches.
The truth is that In both instances Eng
lands policy had been one of total indif-
ference to American interests, and polite
platitudes in the discussion with her had
failed to do any good. In the Venezuela
case, she held by force the land she had
seized from the American republic, and

said that this wonderful twister of pothooks
