Terror and beW1lder- ment reigned for a few moments. But the passengers gradually ranged themselves in groups about the decks, where they were best sheltered, and the crew worked like clockwork i'll getting out the boats. The only ex- ception to the good behavior of the passengers was i'll the case of a sa- loon passenger who rushed hither and thither, calling in turn on heaven and earth to rescue him. Fortunately the other passengers were not affect ed by this mans pitiable mental az ony, but were quietly and methodi- cally marshalled into boats.

PAINTERS ARE ON STRIKE.
Refuse to Work With a Man Who
 Fell Away From Union.

The Refractory Ex-Member Promised
 to Sign an Agreement to Go Back
 He Failed to Do it and His Brother
 Members. of the Brush Will Not
 Work on the Same Job With Him.
 About H painters, the employees of the Lapalme-Hoffman company, went on strike yesterday morning and are still out. The strike is among all the union men ill the employ of the com pany, and the cause of it was the keeping in employment by the com- pany of non-union man, who, how~ ever, formerly belonged to the Paint CTS union. He was q member ill good standing until about six months ago, when he is said to nave been dropped for non-payment of dues. Everything went along fairly well, though the union men were somewhat 1issatlS- fled in working with the ex-mcmber, who had failed to pay his dues, until a meeting of the Painters union in Carpenters hall on last Monday night. 1t was then decided tiiar the man who was the cause of the trouble should re- join the union or should be dismissed by his employers. MT I.apaline was made aware of this vote and was ash- ed to have the eX-union man sign An application to rejoin the union.
 l The man, however. had not signed the application uo to yesterday. inorn- l ing. Yesterday he and three Or fous other painters were te have GoEe solncl work at the residence of Mrs k. c. Lewis on ProsDpc. street. Some words passed between tlle non-union man and one of the ion hlcn in regard to tine signing of the application. The fcr- mer is said to have remarSed that lc
 wouldn't sign tie application now, any way. The union men didn't like this and refused to go to work. Whelh the other union men employed by the company were informed of this, they also quit work. Yesterday afternoon at meeting in Carpenters and Joins CTS hall on Grand street q committed was appointed to confer with NIT La- palme in regard to the matter. In order to rejoin the union the ex-aniOn man would have to pay the regular- initiation fee. Last night lie was will-
 ing to pay half of it, it is said. Eur thermore, Mir Hoffman thought he should have the right to take back only those of the strikers whom he wished to. The union men would not agree to this proposition. So matters stand to-day.

 Chicago March 7.-Upon the result of q series of conferences now being held ill Chicago apparently depends the inauguration of >a lockout which may result ill tying up navigation on the great lakes.

 Captain Charles McCarroll, national president of the Tugmen's union, and Captain Cyrus Sinclair, general mana ger of the trust, are now conferring with d view to settling the differences. They have as yet reached no agree ment, and the Great Lakes Towing company is refraining from any move to employ captains or engineers for the coming year.
