NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-The painters who
have been working on the house of John
d. Rockefeller, at Fifty fourth Street and
Fifth Avenue, struck yesterday by order
of the walking delegates of the Amalga-
mated Society of Painters. About two

walking delegates of their union. The rea-
son given was that some of the painters
were doing vanishing, and they were over
stepping their proper bounds. The strike
was soon settled amicably to all concerned.
The trouble broke out afresh yesterday.
and the painters, through orders from
their walking delegates, said they would
refuse to work in any building with the
varnishers. They therefore struck The
strike had no sooner been ordered than

FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT.
Gov. Pingree of Michigan Cited TO
to show Cause Who He should Not
be Punished for Contempt.

Lansing. Mich. Dec. 25.-On petition
of members of Ingham county bar,
Judge West, of the Ingham county
court ordered Gov. Pingree to appear
in court next Saturday and show
cause why he should not be punished
for contempt.
The action is based on an interview
which was published in the Detroit
Tribune December Tin which the gov
ernor bitterly attacked Judge West
and Prosecutor Tuttle, of Ingham
county. Attached to the petition for
an order is an affidavit by the Tri-
bune reporter, who secured the in
terview, which affirms that it was
given for publication, and that the
following day the governor informed
him that the interview as printed was
all right and commended its fairness.

THE RICHEST ON EARTH.
Gen. FitzhuEh Lee Talks About
Cuba and Its Wonderful Fer
tiIity-Words of Caution.

st. Louis, Dec. 25.-Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee, commanding the department of
the Missouri, during his recent visit
to st. Louis, was the guest of the
University club, and, in the course of
an impromptu speech, had something
to say about Cuba.
Cuba. he declared, was the richest
island on the face of the earth, hav-
ing soil 30 feet deep, and as good at
the bottom as on tcp. For tobacco and
sugar raising it had no equal any
where. He described its stragetic po-
sition, standing like an armed sem
tinel across the gulf of Mexico with
space of only about ninety miles to
Iucatan, and the same distance to
Key West. In the hands of a strong,
hostile power, the comparatively
short space on either side could be
covered by line of battleships, and
the commerce of the gulf, Of the Nj
caraguan canal, and of the mighty
Father of Waters, as well as the coast
cities of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana and Texas would be at the
mercy of the enemy. England owns
the railroads and Germany the to-
bacco factories of the island, and let
civil war arise between the natives,
as might be the case were the United
states troops withdrawn tomorrow;
let them burn one railroad bridge or
British or German subject, then those
nations might take a notion to inter-
fere, and it would be difficult prob
4 lem for the United States to face.

The good people of Natchez bestowed
great and deserved honors on Captain
Devereux Shields, on Tuesday night,
the 10th. 1t will be remembered that
he and his company, the Goth United
States infantry, after desperate fight
ing with an overwhelming force, were
captured in September last. He was
twice severely wounded and four of his
men killed, and about thirty of the
enemy killed. After weeks of weary
marching over mountainous forests on
the island of Mardinizne, the captain
and his men were rescued by our forces.
After being treated in hospital for
several weeks, he reached home by way
of San Francisco and New Orleans. At
the latter place his wife met him. On
reaching Natchez at $3.50 pm, there
was great military and civic demon
stration, which continued until the
Shields home was reached. The pro-
gram at the operahouse, which COM
menced at $3.50, included an address of
welcome by the secretary of State, as
the representative of Gov. Longinoi
an address by Mayor Benbrook, and an
address by Hon. James A. Clinton,
who, in behalf of the citizens, presented
Captain Shields a magnificent sword.
To the several addresses the captain
made appropriate response. He stated
that he had simply tried to do duty rs
soldier. The operahouse was packed
and the immense audience very demon
strative throughout. A reception Al
Institute hall followed.
