The fathers made good their threat
that they would strike yesterday They
did more than this-induced four lath-
ing contractors and one builder to in
future pay the union rate of 16 cents
per bundle.
Bright and early in the morning the
sub committees of two and three
union members began their tours of
the city and Dunmore to determine
whether any of the union men had
been unfaithful and began work, and
to ascertain If lathing was being done
by non-unlon hands. Two non-union
men were found at work for Peter
Stipp and these two stopped at noon
at the request of one of the sub-com-
mitteees, but will resume work this
morning at promised rate of 16 cents.
The lathers' headquarters is at Nor
ris' hotel, corner of Penn avenue and
Spruce street. There a number of
them were found by a Tribune reporter
at 10 o'clock last night after they had
been in secret session to hear the re-
ports of the watch committees and of
those who had been delegated to ask
concessions from the bosses, plasterers
and contractors.
Information was given the reporter
| that Conrad Schroeder, Griffin q
| Wheeler, Edward Slack, Malarkey and
| Morgan and Webb had agreed to pay
| the 16-cent rate. This price is to be
| paid on old as well as new contracts;
in fact, it has been stipulated by the
| fathers that they will not resume work
on any jobs for less than the union
rate per bundle even though the bosses
had already contracted on the work.
This morning several of the strikers
| will begin work on the new No. 2S
school building Conrad Schroeder,
contractor) in Green Ridge. On the
| Connell building, another of Mr..
Schroeder's contracts, work will begin
few days.
AS fast as work presents itself at
the, rate demanded the strikers will
return to work, but they will not do
lathing for any boss or sub-contractor
who pays less than 16 cents, and they
will use every honorable means to pre-
vent such work being done by nom
union hands.

was builded by her every act
For over forty years she was de-
voted member of the Providence church
and died with the assurance of the
reward Of a sincere association with
Christian principles. Throughout her
illness Mrs. Griffin maintained the for
titude which characterized her when in
health and though conscious of the in
evtable she waited patiently and con-
fident of the grand reward.
Her friends mourn the death of q
good woman; her near relatives miss
the presence of one who was more
than this-a presence which will ever
shine though death has come.

TRENTON, N. j., March l4.-Ths
eldest drilling crew on the PennsyI-
vania road, consisting of five men, was
yesterday discharged for breaking into
President Cieveland's wine while it
was in transit from Washington to
Princeton.
When Mr.. Cleveland's household ef-
fects were moved from the White
House to Princeton they met many
mishaps. Large mirrors were broken,
a dressing case was marred and some
of the best wine disappeared. Mr.
Cleveland was indignant when the re-
port of the damage reached him, and
threatened proceedings. The friends
of the accused employees pleaded with
Mrs. Cleveland, and she promised that
no prosecution would follow.
The railroad officials conducted their
own investigation. The culprits COM
posed the drilling" crew made up in
Trenton for work at Monmouth juno
ton. The five men in disgrace reside
in Trenton, and are old and popular
employees of the company. One is a
freight car conductor. who has been I'm
the business more than 80 years. An
other is fiagman and three are brake
men Friends of the accused men say
they did not steal the wine. Their
story is that the Princeton expressmen
who unloaded the car found a broken
case of champagne, and after sampling
a bottle, invited the railroad men to
join them. At any rate. the five rail-
road men, after drinking deeply of the
wine, became intoxicated. When they
started for home they stored several of
the unopened bottles in the caboose of
the train.

MARIPOSA AND COPTIC.
Two Speedy Vessels About Due
at This Port.

Among the finest steamships that
visit this port are the Coptic and Mari
posa Both were advertised TO leave
San Francisco on the LIST of April, at
about the same hour, provided there
was no detention on account of the
English mails for Australia. On her
maiden trip in 1888, the Mariposa made
the passage to this port in five days
and 90 hOurs-the best time she has
scored on this route. The Coptic is a
fast boast. also. but her best time from
San Frascisco to Honolulu has not
equaled that of the Mariposa, though
the China's best record is five days and
II hours. The Coptic. however. has
made the hOmeward passage from Ho-
nolulu to San Francisco in five days
and 20 hours, in October, 1896. On
her last trip from San Francisco, jan
uary 22d. she reported six days, four
hours and % minutes, arriving off this
port about D. m. If these fine boats
started together. they are probably
trying their level best. and making the
sea foam in their wake. One of them
perhaps both-should be reported
from the lookout by noon today, per
haps earlier. The MaripOsa will prob
ably bring the mail, if she has not
been detained.

TEXAS WAS so ANNEXED IN I845
President Believed to be
Friendly.
1t is Said Secretary Sherman is
Not Opposed to Annex
ing Hawaii.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 12.-
The annexation of Hawaii by joint re-
solution, as in the case of Texas in
1S45, requiring only a majority vote
instead of the two-thirds vote required
TO ratify annexation treaty, is the pro-
gramme which prominent Republican
Senators and Representatives expect to
see adopted, with the approval of Pre-
sident Mckinley, as soon as he'is able
to give consideration to the matter,
tary John w. Foster yesterday would
be the case when he had completed the
list of appointments imperatively de-
manded at the beginning of every Ad
ministration.
President Mckinley will then re-
ceive the propositions of the Hawaiian
representatives, who are here with an
annexation treaty similar to that which
Secretary Foster negotiated and Presi-
dent Harrison sent in at the close of
his Administration, and which was
afterwards withdrawn by President
Cleveland, and he will also discuss the
whole subject with members of the
Committees on Foreign Relations and
Foreign Affairs in the Senate and
House.
President Mckinley is believed to be
friendly to the general idea of annexing
Hawaii, and he thoroughly appreciates
the necessity for an early decision as
to just what shall be done, and, if
annexation is to be carried out, the
advisability of accomplishing it
promptly.
Secretary Sherman is not exepcted to
interfere. Indeed, he is said by his
former colleagues in the Senate to have
changed his mind again and to be now
favorable to the annexation of the ISL
ands, or at least not actively opposed
to it.
