ELAINE'S TESTIMONY.
WASHINGTON , April 26. Blainc
said he had searched Garfield'a diarj
carefully and found no mention dir
ectly or indirectly of bhipherd wt thi
Cachet claim or the Peruvian com-
pany. He declared he was willing tc
\ into the whole question of the
oath American policy of both Gar-
fleld and Arthur , as ho had nothing tc
conceal. Ho prepared no dis
patches during Garfield's ill
ness , and did nothing involving
any important policy of the state de
partment. The president fully ac
ceded with the peace congress circu-
cular and never interpolated a word
in the same. Hie lirat knowledge of
the Landrean claim ivas when ho pre
sented it to congress. Witness never
submitted the Landrean claim at all
to Hurlbut for investigation , because
it would bo in violation of the prac
tice of the department.
Elaine insisted that ho would take
< 1 the responsibility of iho statement
that the war bntween Chili , and Peru
was dovined and managed by England ,
Chili being the mere instrument of
England to got half the booty. The
game was skillfully played so as to
conceal England , which had , also , by
throwing up dust at the pacific inter
vention of the United States , secured
the withdrawial of that intervention
and made the United States an object
of ridicule in both Chili and Peru.
Belmont objecting that Blaine wont
too far , in answer ho replied that he
would rather bo atlluont in informa
tion than niggardly about it. Blaine
said ho know of no ono being behind

. Iiabor Troubles in Now York.
J ew York Tribune , April 21th.
, - The labor troubles in this city and
. .its vicinity have not attracted unusual
Attention so far this season , because
there hare boon no iKrgo strikes which
have seriously inconvenienced tbo pub
lic. But the movement for higher
bo widespread * i ua i r mm nunauu
about 15,000 workingtrien in this city
have made demanda lor increased
wages whioh hare boon either acceded
to or enforced by & successful strike.
This movement has included mon
from a largo number of trades car-
pen tors , fromors , brownstone cutters ,
cartmen , grnnito cutters , tairbnild-
era , painters , cigar milkers , tailors ,
printers and varnishers. The mem
bers of the laborers' union also mndo a
successful demand for increased wages.
The carpenters in the early portion
of the month made adcmandfor$3.50
n day. A strike was made by both
the union and non-union mon , which
resulted favorably in > two or three
days , the most of the bozsea yielding
at onco. The demand u | the fratnora
for .the abolition o job woik was
granted before they wore obliged to
strike. The stair builders were "sue
cessful in their strike , which was
made recently for 33.50 a day and
only eight hours' work on Saturday.
The bluestone cutters had little diffi
culty in obtaining cdvancod wages a
few days ago , and the brownatono
cutters also succeeded in having their
wages increased to $1.50 a
day. The granite outtora at the
same time made OM successful strike
for $3.50 a day. About 3,000paintora
held n mooting at Irvihg hall two
weeks ago , at which it was decided to
strike for $3.50 a day. After a few
days of hesitation the , last of the
bosses yielded to the demands of the
mon and they all resumed work , The
trouble iu regard to the wages of the
tailors has been confined ) almost ex
clusively to the men working in cus
tom shops , and has in doit cases boon
satisfactorily settled by tpo adoption
of now price list * , by whioh the .wages
have been increased fro hi 10 to 15
per cent. )
The strike which the unfortunate
marble cutters made several weeks
ago has not resulted favorably to all
of them. Their desire was to have
the job system abolished , by which ,
they said , it was almost impossible for
a man to make $12 a week , while
many of them only received from $5
to $0 The trackmen on the Hudson
river branch of the New York Central
railroad are still on a strike ) between
this city and Peekskill , having refused
the offer of $1.25 a day made by the
company. Before the strike they were
working for $1.20 a day , * oiid they de
manded $1,60. It is thought ihat
they will accept the company'a com
promise , not having , money to sustain
the strike'in their'disorganized condi
tion. $ '
Tho.pl umber , wiHBtrikeJ iU morn

of fifty centsT 'At several ' "meetings
which the men have Tield recently ,
the two organization of plumbers in
this city have.been materially strength
ened , and the men arc confident of
immediate success. . It was stated yes
terday that many of the bosses had al
ready promised higher wages , and that
their action would doubtless influence
others to do the same. The head
quarters during the strike will bo at
No. 537 Third avenue.
Several strikes stubbornly contest
ed last year have not yet been made
again this season , but will probably
during the summer. The bakers , who
were unfortunate last season in their
strike for higher wages and fewer
hours' work , on account of their con
nection with the socialistsaro making
efforts to increase the membership of
their union to in.iku further demands
of the bosses , nd in May they will
doubtless strike. The ovens are
usually in badly ventilated collars ,
and the mon assert that they have to
work from twelve to sixteen hours a
day , although most suffocated
with. ; . heat for wages often
'ess than received by mon in other
.rades for ten hours' work , The men
.n breweries and car drivers have not
et made any move for bettor pay ,
They Buffered last year from the unso
licited .interference of the ( socialists.
The badly managed attempt which
the engineers firemen and trainmen
of the elevated roads recently made
to obtain higher wages and the ad
justment of other troubles resulted in
a complete discomfiture of the niun.
A Tribune reporter met ono dis
charged employe yesterday , who said
that ho did not believe the matter hud
been permanently dropped. The
mon wore so dissatisfied that they
would < be sure to make more efforts to
better their condition. "

April 20. The antimonopoly
nopoly conference was called to order
at 1 o'clock. L. E. Chittondon was
made temporary chairman , who in the
opening remarks said a popular gov
ernment was a delusion and a sham
unless the trained forces of monopoly
wore subject to the will of the people.
Proper restriction of corporate ag
gression was more important than the
success of any party. The antimonopoly
nopoly movement was too great to bo
controlled by any political party and
was in tbo end bound .to absorb all
parties. The rock of salvation was in
the American people who could always
be trusted to dotcimino every ques
tion correctly. Ho proceeded at
length to discuss anti-monopoly
principles and the convention
appointed the usual committees.
A numlsor of letters were road , ono
rom Peter Cooper , which related
chiefly to national banks , and green
backs with an allusion to excessive
charges by railway companies on

ter fro in John Kelly was announced

fied that he had conversations with
Uorodoll in which the latter told him
that ox-Senator Clayton was present
when ho had a conversation with the
postmaster-general and Mr. Woodward.
IlorcdoH said ho was a party to a largo
extent in procuring mail lotting. The
names used were J. W. Dorsoy , Vail ,
Peck , Boonoand others The parties
were frightened by concessional in
vestigation. Ho said that ho feigned
sickness BO as not to appenr before
the committee and made up a fulso
set ot books to show tlio committee.
Ho said that Brady and others in the
conspiracy know the details of the
transaction. Tlio original books were
in Now York and ho could produce
them. Brady insisted upon the
petitions being filed , and a
man was employed to get them up.
Ho had letters from Dorsoy showing
that 'lii' understood thin fully. Brady
was paid through a system of remitted
Dnobj ono.half wont to the contractor
and ono'Jmlf to Brady and the offi
cials who were with him. Mr.
JonuB testified that a similar state
ment was made to him by Rcrodoll
about May or Juno , 1881.
Both these geutlomon were severely
crocs examined , and there was a good
deal of wrangling by the counsel ,
The theory of the defense is that
Rercdoll tola the story tc ingratiate
himeolf with Messrs. James and Mac-
Vengh in order to got at the opera-
tiono of the prosecution , nnd that ho
then told tliu truth and since had
boon induced to retract or deny the
truth of the allegations then made.
