TEN MEN ARRESTED.
At Croton Dam-Taken Into Custody
in the BOwery Without Offering
Any Resistance.

At Cr0tOn ~Dam-Taken Into Custody
in the BOwery without Offering
Any Resistance.
CROTON LANDING, N. Y, April 10.
Ten men have been placed under ar
rest in the Bowery. There was no
attempt at resistance.
Warrants for the arrest of the ring
leaders of the strike were issued by
| Judge Lent, of Sing Sing, who holds
court in White Plains. The complain
| ant is Peter E. Stevens, the time-keep-
er for the contractors. The several
charges are having in possession dead
ly weapons, drilling under arms with
intention to infiict grievous bodily in
jury and threatening to injure public
property and threatening the lives of
persons anxious to resume work. The
prisoners will be taken to White Plains
Jail to await examination.
NEW YORK, April 19.-The con-
tracing firm of Coleman, Breuchand
G Coleman may, after all, end the
strike at the Cornell dam and its quar-
ries by adding SIG a day or less to it's
pay roll, as it has made known its
| willingness to give the laborers class
cd as hand drillers S1.50 a day of 10
hours, the compromise rate asked by
the strikers. The firm insists that this
is rot a concession" but that had
the men not struck this would have
been paid them. The strikers had not
last evening arrived at any definite
decision in regard to the offer.
CROTON LANDING, N. Y, April 10.
One effect of the presence of the
military at the Croton valley dam
is the anxiety exhibited by many of
the more peaceful of the striking Ital-
ians to pack up their little belongings
and seek work elsewhere. About 80
of them left the Croton Landing rail-
road depot to-day bound for New
York. None of them would say very
much, but all of them acknowledged
that they were going to look for work
in some other quarter, as they wished
to avoid trouble. That they were scar
ed by the imposing military display
is certain and even among the bellig-
erent Italians the coming of the
troops has had a salutary influence.
At Z o'clock this morning work was
resumed the same place as yesterday,
but there were no more laborers on
hand. Only the same gang of about
30, who have been quartered at the
works, turned out and very little pro-
gress was made. Gen. Roe said to-
day that the outlook was much more
promising and that while there vas
only a few laborers on hand the fact
that absolute protection would be af-
forded those who wanted to return to
work would undoubtedly prove effec-
tive.

The Best Breed of Sheep.

One of the first questions asked by
those who contemplate sheep raising
is what breed 70 select, and 1t is to be
regretted that most of the replies are
from those who are interested imam
claiiy IN some particular breed. AS
{, matter OF fact, the question oil Tie
best breed depends almost wholly on
the surroundings of the breeder, the
purpose for which the sheep is raised
and the climate. For cold climates
the Merinos, Shropshires, Oxford
Downs and Southdowns are best, but
each breed has its objection. The Me-
rino is long lived and grows a heavy
fleece of good quality, but is faulty as
a breeder and the mutton OF the other
sheep is inferior. The Downs furnish
a superior meat and are prolific, but
their fleece is less valuable than that
from the Merino, and the breed is snort
lived. For early winter lambs the
crosses on Merino and Downs give a
satisfactory carcass. 1t is thus pain
that it will require some investigatlon
on the part of the person who Is going
into sheep raising to select the pest
breed for his purpose and even then
he may make a mistake. AS a rule
it is best Il start with a small nocK,
either pure bred or a good cross, and
gradually ascertain by actual results
on ones own farm if they are what
are wanted.
The Fall Born Pig.
Thousands of pigs were born in Sep
TENDER on which the breeder expects
to make a profit by feeding through
the winter. To do this much more
care is required than with spring
born pigs, and of very great impor-
lance is the nest in which the young
pig is to sleep. The house may be
cold, but the pig will soon get warm
if the bedding is dry and abundant,
but damp bedding means disease ev-
cry time. The oom in which fall born
pigs are fed should be warm, light
and clean, and the animals should be
largely confined to this room during
the winter. il tie feeding room is
light, well ventilated and roomy there
will be no necessity for the pigs going
out of doors during the winter even
for exercise. At first the feed for fall
pigs should be largely middlings, the
cornmeal being increased as the pig
grows. Food should be given at regu-
lar intervals and frequently, using a
trough approachable on both sides so
that all will have an equal chance.
Plenty of water should be kept at
hand, that the pigs may help them
selves, especially if the meal that is
fed is dry.
A Portable Fence.
In locations where fences are neces-
sary for keeping pigs or sheep within
bounds or for enclosing small areas OF
land the portable fence here illustrated
is a great convenience. This fence is
made of boards or Stats, and the best
of material is cheapest both for posts
and Stats. The panels are eight feet
long nailed to uprights two inches
square. The tops of the uprights are
beveled so that they join closely to-
gether when the spread at the bottom
is desired. The fence may be made
with three, four or five boards accord
ing to the use to which it is to be put.
In making a three board fence, if barb

IN HONOR OF TROOPS
Brilliant Banquet in London-Prince of
 Wales Makes Speech

London April 3O.-The banquet given in the Hotel Cecil this evening by the British Empire League in honor of the Colonial troops in South Africa and of the Austra- Han federation delegates, brought together a brilliant gathering. The Duke of Devon shire, lord president of the council of min isters, presided, fanl1ed by the Prince of Wales.
 In proposing the health of the queen, the Duke of Devonshire remarked that Her Majestys recent visits to London and Dub lin had made clear to every one the respect and loyalty felt for her in all parts of her dominions, and he said he was confident that, if Her Majesty could visit the colonies she would there receive welcome even more enthusiastic
 The Prince of Wales, responding to the tosat to himself the Princess and other members of the royal family, made the fol- lowing brief reference to the Brussels incl dent:
 T will say no more than this: All of us are in the hands of God, and whether we lose our life through sickness, accident or His inscrutible will I am glad to have this opportunity not only of thanking you of England, but of thanking others from far distant parts not only of the empire, but of the civilized world"

STOCK MARKET
 DULL AND HEAVY Prices Were Rushed at Start But
 Fell Of. VIOLENT BREAK IN SUGAR Influence on That Stock Was Story from Boston Giving Details of Settle of the Trade
 War
VIOLENT BREAK IN SUGAR

New York, April 30.-The day on the stock market started off with another att tempt to rush up prices by speculative ma nipulation with the purpose of attracting an outside following, bat the gold interest had been so far eliminated by the events of the latter part of last week that there was not sufficient demand from that source to keep up prices. Neither was there any awakened interest developed through the commission house. The market therefore fell back, and became dull and heavy, but without positive weakness until some of the later developments. when the bears showed renewed vigor and sold prices to the lowest of the day.
 The violent break in Sugar was the prin- cipal element in the decline That stock sold up to 121h in the early dealings, and recovered to that figure after a reaction, and then fell away, with occasional spas- modic rallies to 111A, closing only slightly above that.
 The news bearing on the stock consisted of a story from Boston giving elaborate details of alleged terms of settlement of the trade war and the expressed opinion of a prominent speculator just before sailing for Europe that the war was settled.
 The tightening of the London money market and the demand for exchange in New York to pay the installment of Ameri- can subscription would both tend toward gold exports The money market here con- tinues easy, and shows no sign of harden ing, notwithstanding the diminished sup ply of cash for the market on sub-treasury operations.
 It is worthy of remark in this connection that Saturdays treasury statement at Washington showed an excess of receipts over expenditures for the day of $1,S21 ,6Sl, thus materially raising the figure of the months surplus.
 Railroad bonds were weak in sympathy with stocks, but the dealings were rather light. Total sales, par value $1,470.000. U. S. 2s advanced A and new As declined 4 in the bid price.
