Independent brotherhood Refuses to Take
Places of Strikers.
CHICAGO, Feb. ia serious blow
has been dealt the contractors by the
Independent Brotherhood Building
Trades Council. This organization an
nounced that the contractors could, by
applying at it's headquarters, secure
men to replace members Of the older
union who were locked out. A state.
ment has been issued, declaring that il
was the belief Of the Independent Coun-
Gil that the contractors association was
using them as a ear to their own
ends-the srbjugation Of all union Ia.
Dor. In view Of this, it was stated, the
Brotherhood had decided to stand by
the Building Trades Council.

FRANCE NOT PLEASED.

Objects to the Contamination Of the Mic
aragua a Treaty.
New YORK, Feb. 15.-The Herald's
Washington special says:
France may prove al important
stumbling block in the way Of the i'm.
mediate construction Of the Nicaraguan
canal. All the nations Of Europe, with
the exception Of the Paris government
have signifed to Secretary Hay their
entire satisfaction with the provisions Of
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty and have in
Dictated their purpose to assent toit when
ar invitation to do SO is extended to them.
But France, considering the enormous
amount expended by her citizens in the
construction Of the Panama canal, is less
inclined to tender congratulations at the
removal of the bar to the construction of
the Nicaragua canal by the United
States. From a high authoritative
source I received al intimation suffi-
GENTLY strong to show that France has
made it plain to this government that
she is not at all satisfied with the way
in which events are developing and
she would prefer that If the ay.Paunce.
fote treaty be ratified, this government
complete the Panama canal instead Of
commencing the construction of the
Nicaragua canal.
It is thoroughly appreciated by au.
thorities, who have been carefully look.
ing up this feature Of the matter, that
France has it in her power to delay the
construction Of the canal through Mic
aragua unless the United States, sup.
by the other powers Of Europe,
should begin building the canal without
reference to the treaty existing between
the French republic and Nicaragua,
which was signed on April II, 1859.

zion Yesterday a. Moct,ns.

North Carolina pine lumber is to be
exhibited at the Paris Exposition to be
held from April 1st to September Goth
this year.
The North Carolina Pine Association,
Captain John L. Roper. of this city,
president, at n meeting at the At
lantic Hotel yesterday decided to make
an exhibit of this product of Eastern
North Carolina and Virginia in the
Forestry Department of the United
States exhibit at Paris. The invitation
was extended to the association by the
United States Paris Exposition Com
mission. All grades of dressed and
rough North Carolina pine will be sent
for exhibit among thousands of other
lumber exhibits. The lumber will be
shipped to Paris within about one
month.
ADVANCED PRICES.
1t was the regular monthly meeting
OF the association, and the matter of
prices was taken UP, resulting in an
advance in the last February schedule
OF 81 per thousand for all grades of
lumber. This is the third 81 advance in
the February schedule since it went
into effect. Lumber is higher now than
II has been for many years. There
has been great demand for pine lum-
Der not only in domestic trade, but
there has been foreign demand. The
mill owners say there is scarcity OF
stock just now because OF this de-
mand. Mr.. Camp, of the Camp Man
ufacturing Company, which has pur-
chased the Dismal Swamp timber, says
n higher price is being paid for lum-
Der lands now than ever before in his
knowledge.
Eighteen or twenty mill owners were
present at yesterdays meeting.

ARRESTED IN RICHMOND.
CHARGED WITH PASSING FORGED
CHECK IN NORFOLK.

winston Cahoon, q young Norfolk
man, will be brought from Richmond
to-day by Detective Childress, having
been arrested in that city Wednesday
afternoon for the Norfolk authorities on
the charge OF passing a forged check
Tor S23.92 on Mrs. e. A. Hayes, of East
Main street, with whom lie boarded in
December.
The young man was arrested in Muir
phys Hotel Wednesday afternoon by
two Richmond policemen. The Rich
nond Times tells of the occurrence as
follows:
20. O. Robertson, u travelling man for
a Norfolk firm, was the direct cause of
the arrest. 1t seems that Cahoon had
until u month ago, at Which time lie
came TO Richmond, lived In Norfolk,
and before leaving Norfolk he is al
legged to have forged a check for about
S2S to pay his board bill.
Mr.. Robertson did not come to Rich
mond i'll search of Cahoon, but on other
business. When in Norfolk he had
boarded with the same party Cahoon
had. and to whom the check had been
given. When Robertson reached Rich
mond yesterday he recognized Cahoon
and spoke to him. They took several
drinks together and were together some
little time during the day. Robertson
says he does not think Cahoon recalled
him. as when they had boarded to-
gether lin Norfolk he wore Il full beard.
Robertson about noon Informed the
police that Cahoon was wanted in Nor
ioik Tor this forgery, so, without delay,
ne was arrested and taken TO the Sec
ond station, where he spent last night.
Cahoon, when seen at the station,
stated that he had not forged n check,
but that he had paid his board with a
check he had gotten from a friend He
said he had heard nothing of the check
since he had given it until arrested.
Since being in Richmond Cahoon has
been connected with an insurance com
pany OF the city and boarding with Mrs
Callahan. on Grace street, near St
Paurs Church. In appearance he is a
man about feet inches tall dressed
well. has dark hair and weighs about
$50 pounds
