PHILADELPHIA May 3.-As result of
The action last night of the Building Trades
Council in refusing to recognize the Broth
erhood of Carpenters because the latter
agreed TO work on buildings regardless of
whether union or nonunion men are en-
ployed thereon so long as their union is
recognized. the Allied Building Trades
Council this morning in retaliation ordered
cut all it's men wherever the Brotherhood
of Carpenters men are working. Secre-
tary Allen, of the Building Trades Council,
says that in consequence of this order
about 1900 additional men quit work after
o'clock this morning This makes about
1900 men in all employed in the building
trades now on strike in this city. This
mornings order affects the exposition

work preparing the structure for the Re-
publican national convention. 1t also ma
terially complexities the strike situation.
as in many instances employers who had
signed the scale of the Allied Building
Trades Council and also the Brotherhood
of Carpenters scale have been forced to
suspend operations because of the order
from the trades council headquarters.

representatives who were to be put out Of
the way.
On redirect examination Culton said that
Sergeant-at-arms Haley signed the sub
poenaes for witnesses for Governor Taylor
to testify before the gubernatorial contest
committee, and authorized Culton to depu-
tie good men in the various counties to
serve them. Culton said he did not know
where Powers or Youtsey were when the
shot was fired. The last talk he had with
Youtsey the latter said the plan TO kill
Goebel had been abandoned. Culton had
been asked by Taylor TO ascertain what
the witnesses in the contest knew, because
he was a lawyer. To the prosecution he
said he had told more now on the stand
than to any person except his father. His
testimony Is ended.
Circuit Clerk Moore, of Jackson county,
denied that Culton had told him anything
about a plan to bring on a riot and kill
Goebel and other members of the Legisla-
ture.
After hearing two or three other wit
nesses. whose testimony was unimportant,
the defense rested and court adjourned till
afternoon, when the physicians gave the
testimony outlined above.
1t is understood the Beckham guards. who
have been in charge of the Jail and court
house for a little over a month, will evacu-
ate next week probably early as Mon
day. The prisoners whose cases have been
transferred for trial will be removed to
Georgetown next week, and the authorities
say there will be no necessity for troops
after that.

purpose of destroying some of the railway
lines. Arrangements have been so far
completed that the battalions are prepared

SITUATION AT BUFFALO.
New York Central Car Repairers Will
Return to Work To-day.

Return to Work To-day.
BUFFALO, n. Y, May 3.-The striking
car repairers of the New York Central
will return TO work in a body tomorrow
morning. This was agreed to at a joint
meeting of the Car Repairers' Association,
held at East Buffalo last night. The other
roads did not adjust the differences with
the car repairers to-day, and while AMIGA
bic negotiations pending and may be
concluded tomorrow, the situation on
these lines is unchanged.
There were no positive developments in
the strike of the railway freight handlers
to-day. These strikers claim that the
freight houses of all lines are badly
crippled. but they appear TO depend for
success chiefly upon the belief that a SYM
pathetic movement of kindred railway or
loaded cars.
1t was stated that in the agreement
reached with Superintendent Wait yester-
day IL had been thoroughly understood
that the Central's men, who returned to
work, should not be asked to repair cars
for any of the, roads on which the strike
still existed. 80 This removed any objec-
ton TO the resumption of work by the
Central's men,.
There were positive developments in
the strike of the car repairers association.
Attempts were made to-day to settle the
car repairers' strikes the other lines.
but they were not successful. The execu-
tive committee then split up into four sec
tions, conforming to the roads still out,
and four conferences were held. which
did not result in anything definite to-day.
but which may have results tomorrow.

NEW YORK, May 3.-Bishop Potter,
speaking last night at the annual dinner of
the New York Commandery of the Military
Order Of the Loyal Legion of the United
States. said that his mind had not under
gone any radical change concerning the
Philippines since his return to the United

my son should come to me and say he
proposed TO marry young creole woman
with seven children, l would call him
great ass. But IL he came to me and said
he had already contracted such a marriage
] would still try To sustain intimate re-
lations with him. No, gentlemen, what we
have done has established just such a re-
Iation that and Ii would be a source
of national modification If we gave up our
responsibilities because we find them diff

opening the entire matter, but it has been
agreed that whatever rate of pay is recon-
mended then shall not be less than what
it is now, $275. The postponement of the
