BRITISH TARIFF POLICY.
Tariff War Not to be Initiated for the
 Colonies,

London, June 1S.-When the House of Commons took up the consideration of the amended finance bill this afternoon John Morley precipitated long debate by moving to omit the clause imposing duty on grain. Sir Charles Dilke and others of the opposition demanded a specific statement from the chancellor of the exchequer in regard to the gov- ernment's attitude at the coming con- ference of the colonial prmers. It was obvious it was asserted, that the con- ference might change the whole fiscal policy of the country and before com hitting itself the government ought to give the House an opportunity for full discussion of the matter.
 The chancellor of the exchequer em- phatically repudiated the suggestion that the government was contemplating a revolution in it's financial policy and said in behalf of himself and his col leagues that he wholly disavowed such an idea. It was not the policy of the government to endeavor to encourage trade with the colonies by initiating a tatriff war with other countries.
 The motion to omit the clause impos- ing duty on grain was defeated by 251 to IFS votes.

STRIKE AT ROLLING MILL
THR FEE HUNDRED MEN WENT OUT
 YESTERDAY MORNING.
One Hundred More Affected = Caused by the Discharge of Two Union Men One of Whom Asked for More Pay-Meet- Ing of the Strikers Last Night-Blg MilI Shut Down.

A strike that will effect 400 men at the 1 New Haven Iron and Steel works in 1 Fair Haven went into effect yesterday morning and it is probable that the doors of the big rolling mill will be clos | ed for some time, as a result Of the 400 men in the shop 300 have struck and the other 100 are thrown out of work on account of the strike, it being impossi- ble to do any work there without the strikers, who are skilled puddlers, heat CTS and rollers.
 The trouble came yesterday morning when one of the men was discharged
 for not taking the place of union man
 who was previously discharged for ask
 ing for raise in pay. The man who
 was discharged yesterday morning is
 said to have worked two days in the
 place of the man discharged first be- fore he knew the cause of his being
 taken over to the new job, and that when the fact was known 300 of his fel- low workers of the local lodge of the Iron, Steel and Tn Workers union im- mediately went on strike From that time, which was about o'clock the roll ing mill has been quiet. The local lodge of the striking union is affiliated with the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, and the mem bers are determined in reaching their end, as a meeting of the strikers in Clipper hall on East street last night showed.
 Robert N. Allen, the president of the union, in this city, conducted the meet ing last night, which was attended by about 200 men. It was a quiet meeting and was mainly for the purpose of ex- blaming the situation to the men.
 It was announced that twice since the strike was ordered committees have waited on the superintendent of the rolling mill with the idea of making a peaceful settlement to the strike and that the terms of the men have been ignored. MT. Allen was at the head of these committees and stated last night that his side would be strong in holding out, unless their committees were given some attention by the bosses.
 When the strike was ordered yester- day morning there were about seven ty-fve tons of iron in the heaters throughout the mill, and if it had been left at that point the damage to the boilers and heaters would have been great and all those tons of iron would have been spoiled. The work of cooling and turning the iron was completed by the men after the strike was ordered, and the company was thus saved a large sum of money.
 It is understood that another commit tee of the strikers will wait upon the bosses to-day

OARSMEN HAVE 4 SKIRMISH.
Freshmen Four-Oars Indulge in short
 Spurt.

Yale Quarters, Gales Ferry, June 1S. The rivalry which exists between the Yale and Harvard oarsmen broke out this afternoon when the freshman four oar crews of Yale and Harvard met on the river this afternoon. The Yale crew was being coached from the dock when the Harvard four came up the river, followed by the launch. Before the coaches realized it the two crews, when they were abreast, started off on a race up stream, and had gone two hundred yards before the orders of the coaches were needed and the race stopped. At that time the Yale fresh- men were about half length to the good.
 The varsity four oar crew rowed up the river in short stretches, and return ed. with racing start, in one stretch. In all they covered about a mile and half.
 The varsity and freshman eights with a racing start went up stream together for half a mile. The varsity got the jump on the youngsters at the start and gradually increased the lead to half a length, which they held un- til the finish. There were several more short brushes of the same character, the varsity each time defeating the freshmen.
 A very noticeable fault of the var sity on the row up stream was the splashing. They were coached on this point on the return trip, and considera- ble improvement was shown

TorrentiaI Rains Wash Away Ashes and
 Reveal Gbastly Sight.

Roseau, Island of Dominica, June IS. With the permission of M. L'Huerre, the governor of Martinique the ruins of St Pierre were visited yesterday by the administrator of the island of St. Do- minica, and party of friends who went to Martinique on the steamer Yare Mont Pelee was in eruption and ashes fell upon the Yare when she was pass ing Le Preucher. There was intermit- tent detonations and the summit of the volcano was completely obscured by clouds of steam and ashes.
 Great dense volumes of steam, appar- ently from small Craters, rose by the seashore near the ruins of the Guerin sugar factory and from several places up the sleft from which the stream of mud had poured May 5.
 The ruins of St Pierre presented ghastly sight Torrential rains had re- moved much of the sand and ashes with which they had been covered and many corpses were partly exposed. The odors were strong and nauseating. The valley of the river Roxellane has been blocked, and portion of the river has been turned into the ruins of St. Pierre, the northwest portion of which is partially flooded.
 While MT. Bell and his party were proceeding with their inspection of the ruins an avalanche of black scoria and sand fell to the east of the town, &C., companied by loud detonations, which alarmed the visitors.
 The north end of the island of Mar unique is gray with ashes and the whole population of that setion appear to have left the scene of death and des- olation.

HOWE X STETSON.

thought that the crew should go close to twenty-one minutes. One fault that the coaches find is that the men fail to sustain sufficiently high tsroke. For the first two miles it was rarely above thirty. The last mile varied from thir- ty-one to thirty three. The time for the first two miles was 10:55; the last two 11:19. The men lack snap, as shown in the morning work.
 The four oar crew did their afternoon work with Aver in place of Francis. Smith was at bow in place of Gregg, and is considered tseadier than the lat ter.
 The freshmen were sent over short stretches in front of the quarters, as the launch was following the varsity time row. Coach Blake acted as cox swain.
 The Yale and Harvard freshmen en- joyed a little quiet fun earlier in the day, when they attended q cooking main on the bluff. north of Red Top. The Yale bird so called, won the main, badly beating the Harvard fowl

MINERS CALL CONVENTION
QUESTION OF BRINGING OUT
 SOFT COAL MEN
To be Decided at the Convention Which Will Convene July 17--MitcheIl's Fol- lowers Represent 799 of the Necessary 900 Votes to Declare the Extension of tho Strike.

| Indianapolis, June 1S.-An official call for convention of the United Mine Workers of America was issued this af- ternoon from the national headquarters k convention will meet here July 17 to de- termine whether the soft coal miners
 of the country shall go out on strike to
 assist the striking anthracite miners of
 Pennsylvania.
 The basis of apportionment of dele-
 gates to the convention is one for every
 hundred members of every local union
 and fraction over fifty. This will make
 a convention of 1000 delegates. The
 voting strength of all locals is between
 2,30O and 2,400 Of this number the
 convention will have a voting strength
 of from 1,700 to 1900, A bare majority can order q strike. A few more than
 900 can declare a strike. The anthracite
 regions casts 747 votes; Virginia and
 Michigan, which joined in the call for the new convention have 52, making 799 votes from these five districts which united to call this new convention. As stated at headquarters conditions are not satisfactory to the miners in Mis- souri, Kansas, Arkansas and Indian territory and it is believed the delegates from these sections will vote for a strike. In the call for the convention Messrs. Mitchell and Wilson show by what authority they are enabled to call a convention and quote at some length from the constitution of the miners for the guidance of local unions in selecting their delegates.
 Clearfield, Pa, June 1S.-The sub-1is- trict presidents of district No. ?, United Mine Workers, met here to-day and issued an order directed to the local union check weighmen and miners of bituminous coal in this region one-third. The order restricts the working days to four each week All miners are re- quested to suspend work on Wednes- days and Saturdays of each week at all operat tions where no coke ovens are worked The order will go into effect June 25. The purpose of the order is to restrict the output and thus to some ex- tent prevent the operators filling orders for bituminous coal to be sent to points where anthracite coal was used prior to the anthracite miners strike.
 Roanoke, Va, June 1S.-A special to the Times from Eckman, w. Va, says The strike situation has suddenly taken on 8 complete change, It looks now as if there was not the least chance for the strikers to win. So large a number have returned to work that those who would have remained away and fought it out have become discouraged and many of them are going back into the mines. The mine owners are iubilant over the conditions an dthink the end | of the strike is near Many coke ovens which have been dark for ten days have | been again lighted up.

 Favorable Condttionr.


 Harvard Quarters Gales Ferry, June 1S.-The Harvard varsity crew went over the four mile course this evening under very favorable conditions in twenty-two minutes and fourteen sec- onds. This is the fourth time for the Harvard crew to cover the distance against the watch since they came to Red Top. Francis was at number five, in place of Aver, change which had been made in the morning row. There was fairly good tide running up tsream, as it had one hour to flow be- fore turning. Consequently the crew was carried by the launch to the New London bridge, and from there was sent up the stream. The wind was from the southwest on their port quarter most of the way, with the exception of the mid- dle mile, when it shifted behind them. It blew just hard enough for fair go- ing. Under these conditions the coaches are naturally downcast it being
