SOLDIERS SENT HOME.
Only Few Left at the Croton Res
eryoir Dam.


CROTON LANDING. n. Y. April "a
With record TO his credit of having
broken up strike quicker than was ever
before done by the militia OF this State,
Major General Roe today began to send
home the main body of National Guard
soldiers who for the last week have been
preserving order at the New Croton reser-
voir The order to begin the evacuation
was given at 6 o'clock last evening after
General Roe had had a conference with
Sheriff Molloy, Of Wes1chester county, who
came up from White Plains for that pur-
pose. Although threats had come from
Little Italy yesterday afternoon that as
soon as the troops went away the strikers
who die not return TO work would begin TO
kill those who had yielded to the contract
ors terms of $1.25 a day, General Roe
said he regarded such threats only in the
nature OF the vain boasts of defeated men
Nevertheless. the threats did have the ef-
feet OF making the general take the pre-
caution TO retain detachment of cavalry
at the scene of trouble.
General Roe said positively last week
that when the troops left they would go
as a whole. and that Il would not b nee
essary 10 leave any troops or company On
the ground. But the order TO leave today
included an order requiring Troop c Of the
cavalry and a provisional troop from
Squadron to remain at the new Cornell
dam fer the present This change in Gen.
eral Roe's original plan was undoubtedly
brought about by the continued threats OF
the strikers 10 slaughter the workers as
soon as the soldiers left

PURPOSE OF TAYLeR's TRIP.
He Left Kentucky 10 Avoid an Ex-
peeted Arrest

LOUISVILLE. Ky, April 24.-Informa-
tion comes today from reliable source
that Taylor did not leave his military bar
racks in Frankfort and so to Washington TO
Go anything at all in his case before the
Supreme curt. The requesting of former
President Harrison and former Secretary
Carlisle to argue his cause before the Su-
preme Conrt was all a pretence TO cover Up
the real purpose Of his visit. The facts
are that Taylor went to Washington 10 es-
cape arrest in Ken;ucky and in case a
bench warrant was issued to seek protee-
tion in New York.
The latest story is that Taylor viii re-
turn 10 Kentucky and face hss aceusers and
demand an immediate trial On the indict-
ment returned against him By the Franklin
county grand Jury, charging completely in
the Goebel murder.
In a telegram received from Taylor last
night this was announced as was alsG the
determination OF Taylor net to take ad-
vantage of the offer of Goversn= Roose-
welt TO protect him in event a demand was
made for him by Governor Beckham. Tay-
lor decided upon this course On the advice
Of former Governor Bradley and other
Kentuekians who have pledged themselves
to defend him and force a fair and speedy
trial.
Jim Howard and Berry Howard, indicted
for the murder of Senator Goebei, say they
will never be taken by the authorities. An
attempt was made TO capture them last
night, but the deputies who had the war
rants were forced TO beat hasty retreat,
as the two Howards were entrenched in
the mountains. surrounded by over a huE-
dred feudists. who swear the accused men
shall never be arrested.
Capt John Powers. a brother OF Secre-
tary Of State Powers. who Is also under
Indictment. was discovered in hut in the
mountains of Bell county yesterday guard
ed by ten mountain men. His position is
strong. and he. too. cannot be easily ar
rested. Governor Beckham is said to be
anxious 10 send militia 10 the mountains
to arrest the Howards and Powers,
but no company has volunteered for
the service. The men cannot be az
rested unless they surrender voluntarily
or unless one or two regiments ase sent.
and then the task would be uncertain. as
there are so many places OF security from
capture which the fugitives can seek

OBJECT TO MACHINERY.

bor-Saving Devices


HALIFAX, n. S, April 24.-The intro
duction of seal-skinning and barrel
ing machines caused a strike OF nearly
1000 men in ST. Johns. Three hundred
seal-skinners went out and 600 coopers.
One seal-skinning machine will displace
the labor of thirty eight SINNERS This
estimate was based on the production of
one machine introduced by Bowring Bros.
The strikers held a meeting and noti-
hed their employers of a resolution that
they would return to work IL the maehin-
cry was removed The demand was ae-
ceded to and the men resumed work 4
skinner is paid at the rate of 10 cents a
skin. An expert can skin eighty seals a
day. Thus one machine would save to the
employer the sum of 81 ,S24 a week.
The coopers struck because a barrel
making machine was introduced. Six hun
dred men are cmploySd making barrels for
seal oil. One machine with tenders will
do the work of fifty men whose salary
would average $3.50.
