CIIICACO , May 2. [ Special Telegram to
Tin : Bnc. ] The hopes engendered by the
peaceful passage of labors' holiday without
rumors of any trouble to come were rudely
shattered today. The strike fever it would
seem was aggravated by the May day demon
stration , for today it broke out
.with alarming force , nnd as a re-
'suit , a vast body of men of
various trades have struck , some for an eight
hour day nnd some for more wages. The
strikes for the most part come'In totally un
expected quarters and employers generally
are nt sea ns to what to look for next.
Thousands of union laborers went to the
different shops in the city this morning
with their dinner palls , entered the
works and formally demanded frofn
their employers that the eight-hour day
should bo observed. The demands of the
toilers were refused nnd at present the
moldcrs in the different worlcs nnd the
, . .planing mill men nro out on a stj-iko nnd the
"
'oiher laborers employed at the works nnd
mills have also been compelled to join
'the ranks of the dissatisfied men. In
b I nearly all the shops . along the
Black road the molders and laborers
demanded the eight-hour day mid were re
fused mid are now out and the planing mill
.men in nil the mills In the city , being treated
In the same way in the southwestern part of
the city , also quit mid the number of men who
'refused to go to work in Chicago as nearly as
'can bo estimated is not far from 20,000.
The Black road in the vicinity of McCor-
rillck's reaper works had much the same ap
pearance today as it had four years ago. None
but strikers could bo seen , and they had en
tire possession. Every man , boy and girl
rcmploycd in the nmllahlo iron works at
' .Twenty-sixth and Rockwell streets are out.
The total number of employes is 1,200.
No particular reason was assigned by the
. men for quitting work. A committee of
workmen was appointed lost night , to wait
upon the officials , but they seemed disiai-
vpllncd to go before their"employers.
VPrcsldent Ilnlloy called the strikers about
' .him and upbraided them for going out with
out notice ami told them that when they
found out what they wanted to let him know
i their demands. The men seemed not to know
wtmt to say in reply. The chnlrniun of the
.molders' commllto says they want 8 hours
'n day's work , 15 cents advance In wages , and
' 60 per cent extra for over time.
At the great McConnick reaper works
about fifty moldet-s went out , but the work
was progressing as usual.
A'largo projioi'tlou of the employes of the
foundries of Barnuni & Richards , of the Ajivr
forgo company and of the Chicago car wheel
company went out and those concerns are
.closed.
As elsewhere no formal demand was made
on-tho employers. At the Wells-French car
company's shops every ono of the 1,000 em
ployes wont out ajjd the shops were closed.
The blacksmiths were the only ones who
made known their demand , which was for
eight hours ns a day's work.
At F. E. Roberts' foundry it was said the
men seemed anxious for either a strike or n
- . . vacation , so the works have been shut down
till next ; Monday to accommodate them and
make repairs.
Tno entire force of employes of N. 1C. .Fair-
lihnks it Co. , soaps and lard , will go out Mon
day. Coopers to the number of eighty struck
tills morning. This was a surpries , ns the
men employed by Fairbanks are receiving
better wages than those paid elsewhere.
They want eight hours' work and nine hours'
my. About six hundred men will strike.
Tbe coopers are In earnest In their demand
for eight hours , and In all portions of the city
men are quitting work on the refusal of em
ployers to surrender.
In the northwestern districts of the city
there is not one cooper working. From three
to four thousand sash , door and
blind men walked out of the
various factories In the southwest
.lumber district this morning. Their action
'was apparently without warning. The men
came to their places ns usual this morning
and with a few exceptions proceeded to work
when the whistles blew. An hour or so later
. /.they threw down their tools and quietly
walked out , giving no explanation.
The report is current tonight that nearly
all the planing mill men in the city will quit
tomorrow. It was also said that all the wood
workers were restless and might Join the
strike at any moment.
Everything remained quiet notwithstand
ing the largo number of idle men and the po
lice say they do not anticipate any disturb
ance.
Four hundred men In Denman's furniture
factory and 700 in the Chicago Cottage organ
factory struck thU afternoon for eight hours.
Several thousand lumber shovors In the lum
ber district along the Black road are dissatis
fied and u strike is anticipated among them ,
Arbitration Commit too.
CIIICAOO , May 2. The arbitration commit
tee having under consideration the differ
ences between the Journeymen carpen
ters and the Builders and Traders' associa
tion , adjourned shortly 1 o'clock today
without having reached any definite conclu
sion. The only points at issue now are the
employing capacity of the new Bosses'
association and the manner in which the old
Bosses' association shall bo treated by union
men lu case the strike Is declared off.
Carpenters
Piiii.Aiii.rnu : , May 2. There was rejoic
ing among the carpenters nt strike head
quarters this morning when It was an
nounced that the bricklayers had como to
their old by ordering- that no bricklayers
should work for bosses who have not coin-
idled with the demands of the carpenters.
, Thls will help the strikers in winning their
sr \ light , as fifty-eight out of ! ! 00 master carpen
ters In the city have already conceded the ad
vance , i
Did Not Materialize.
MIMVAVKKE , Wls. , May 2. The strike of
the carpenters , which It was thought might
occur today , did not nmtorln'.Uo and the
chaiigo from the ctcn-hour to the eight-hour
system was effected without nuy excitement
whatever. There will still bo some uncer
tainty , however , until after the mass meeting
of the unions to bo held Saturday. At that
meeting the carpenters nro to report all con
tractors who have failed to comply with the
demands of their men and the employes of
such lion-complying bosses will bo directed
to strike Monday.
Non-Union Men Join the Strikers.

PAIU : < , May 2. [ New York Herald Cable
Special to Tun Br.c. ] The Lastcur Institute
hits just published its complete statistics re
garding hydrophobia and the results of the
Pasteur treatment during the five years
which have elapsed since the method was
first applied to human subjects. It was the
Oth of July , 1SS5 , that little Joseph Mclstcr
was brought to Paris by his heart-broken
mother from his homo In Alsace. The boy
had been BO cruelly bitten the day before by
n mad dog that ho could scarcely walk and
his llfo was despaired of. Up to that time
Pasteur hud never dared experiment upon
man or woman with the terrible
virus which , in an attenuated form , had time
nnd again succeeded with animals. The
boy lived and went back to Alsnno strong
and well , nnd is today as sturdy n lad ns ono
could wish to see. Since then the Pasteur
method has gone round ' the world and Is every
year saving thousand's of lives in both hemi
spheres. Between January 1 , 1SSC , rind
December 31 , 1SS9 , not less than
7,803 , persons hove been bitten by
mad dogs and treated nt the Pasteur
institute. Of these fifty-thrco died. In
striking contrast to this small fraction is the
percentage of deaths among persons bitten
by mad dogs and not treated by the Pasteur
method. Physicians are unanimous In plac
ing this percentage at 15-00. In other
words , of 7,81)3 ) persons nctunlly treated
1203 would but for this great discovery
have died. Pasteur can therefore have the
satisfaction of knowing that more than 1,200
lives have been saved by his institute alone
during the past five years.
It appears , furthermore , that of all depart
ments of Franco it is that of the Seine which
Is most subject to hydrophobia. This
is accounted for by the immense num
ber of dogs which roam about Paris
and its environs. As a remedy for this state
of affairs rigorous measures are urged and
enforced by the police regarding stray dogs
and dogs known to have been bitten by mad
dogs. Another point demonstrated with the
statistics is that it is not in summer , as is
generally supposed , that hydrophobia is most
to bo feared , but iu 'the spring from Feb
ruary to May.

a weaker opening in wheat this morning.
The July option started in at a very wide

It soon became settled and sales were
made at OOVj'o and then up to OOJfc , which
was the price at the end of the first fifteen
minutes. At H o'clock the excitement con
tinued and a heavy trade was done in that
cereal. May was offered at Mo early , but
found no takers , and later was quoted at 03e.
It eased off to SU'.i'e and then was quoted at

AUIAXV , N. Y. , May 2. Governor Hill to

message accompanying it he says
in part : "I have steadily opposed
every effort to impose unnecessary
and impracticable restrictions upon
our election system , which were not adopted ,
to our free institutions or which would ren
der our elections enormously expensive nnd
vexatious. It is to be regretted , however ,
that such endeavors have only been partially
successful. In the interest of honorable com

desire to agree upon a bill which should ac
complish something towards the purifications
of our elections , even though It snail not bo
wholly satisfactory , I have felt constrained
to yield to my views ns toe several provision
which .1 must still deem Imperfect. I am
not disposed , however , to haggle about mere
words or useless technicalities. During all
the controversy of the psist three years I
have invariably insisted upon the right of an
elector to prepare his own ballot at homo
and bring it with him to the polls and vote it ,
nnd so long as this bill docs not materially In
fringe upon that right I am content. "

* WASHINGTON' . D. C. , May 2.1
Pension legislation Is to bo tied up in a
conference committee nnd n deal of trouble is
expected before nn adjustment can bo reached.
Senator Davis , chairman of the committee
on pensions , was in the senate this morning
for the llrst tlmo in a week , having been
homo for n little rest. The Morrlll bill ,
which had passed the house during his ab
sence , wns'brought into the senate as about
the llrst pleco of business after ho entered
the chamber. The house had amended the
scnato bill by what is practically the substi
tution of another bill. Senator Davis moved
that the senate non-concur In tkojuucndincnt
mult Mais no DI. . go oaCiO o toe comm.Utc.
A conference committee will bo asked. Sena
tor Davis said to the correspondent of Tnu
BEI : that the committee would probably de
vote n great deal of time to discussion before
an agreement could be arrived at. "Tho sen
ate , " said ho , "is very strongly in favor of
the bill it had passed. An amendment sub
stantially thcj same ns the ono the house
adoptedwas defeated by n strong vote in the
senate. I have not carefully examined the
Morrlll bill , owing to my absence , nnd any
thing that I could say as to our probable ac
tion would bo premature. It is likely that
concessions will have to bo made on both
sides before auy pension legislation can bo
enacted. "
Senator Sawyer , a member of the pension
committee , was asked what the senate would
do with the house amendment and said ho did
nut think it would agrco to it. It would ,
however , be discussed at length by a confer
ence committee. It has been suggested
that the only possible compromise
to which the senate will agree is the modifi
cation of the two bills which combines the 513
a month pension , which was in the scnato
bill , with a service clause. Should this com
bined bill bo passed the draft on the treasury
to meet it would bo increased by about $12-
000,000 over the amount which would meet
the bill passed by the senate.
The scnato pension committee will consider
the house bill at its first mcctingand ns mem
bers of the conference committee , Senator
Davis , the chairman ; Senator Sawyer of
Wisconsin nnd Senator Turpio 'of Indiana
have been suggested as the most probable.
A SCANDAL THUUATEN'KD.
A scandal is threatened at the war depart
ment in connection with the nomination oT
officers for brevet rank for gallantry in In-
dlnu lighting. As W.is * stated in these dis
patches a few days ago , ISO names have been
submitted to the secretary of war , of which
twenty-two nro represented to have been
recommended by the late General Crook. But
there is no record of Crook having ever
recommended anybody , although most of the
hard Indian fighting has been douo under his
command and many of his subordinate officers
are entitled to the honor. If he had lived ho
would doubtless have shown his appreciation
of their services , but among his papers no
record can bo found and there is nothing on
file ut the war department.ejccept a list pre
pared by a member of his start containing
the names of the men it is believed no would
have recommended had the bill passed before
his death nnd had ho boon invited to do so.
The accuracy of this list Is questioned and the
officers involved are attempting to use their
influence with the secretary of war to secure
the rccogn.ilon of others. It fortunately
happens that another member of Crook's
staff , who was In his closest confidence for
many years , bus kept a dlnry in which are
recorded the opinions the general expressed
from tlmo to time regarding the men of htn
command. This diary contains a dully record
of most of his campaign , and the secretary of
war having heard of it has asked the privilege
of examining its pages. The nominations
under the new law are therefore likely to bo
postponed for some time , until it can bo de
termined who Is entitled to the honor of a
brevet rank and who is not.
WAI.KKII IILAIXE'8 SUCCCSSOK.
It is almost certain that Secretary Blalno
has agreed upon n man for the place loft
vacant by the death of the late Walker
Blalno. The only thing preventing an Im-
njedlato appointment is the difficulty in find
ing a man to fill the place which will bo
vacated by the appointee , as ho intends to
take an official from the state department.
The man chosen is said to bo John B.
Moore , the present third assistant secretary
of state. Mr. Moore has had n rather rc-
markablo official experience. Early in Mr.
Bayard's term ns secretary of stuto ho gave
some attention and study to international
law and looked aroudd for some ono well
versed In It. Ills observations led him to
think of Mr. Moore , who wsis then a young
lawyer In Wilmington , Del. Ho was only about
thirty-five years old , but had traveled a great
deal and had made International law a
specialty. But there was no place for him at
that time and ho refused positively to take a
civil service examination am ) enter into com
petition for n placo. Secretary Bayard
thought for a long while mid finally obtained
n series of questions from the civil service
commission and sent them to Mr. Moore. Ho
wrote out the answers nnd returned them to
the secretary , who sent them to the civil
service commlhslon. They were so good that
the commission gave him a grade of over ! ' . " >
per cent and placed him high on the eligible
list. Soon niter a vacancy occurred nnd Mr.
Moore was appointed through the
course of law. Ho served through
several grades of clerkship and finally
when the third assistant secretaryship
became vacant Air. Bayard appointed him to
that place. When Secretary Blalno came in
ho found in Mi * . Moore ono of the most valua
ble men In the department. An Intimacy
grew up between the t o and It Is said Air.
Blalno has had Ills mind made up to the ap
pointment for n long while , but cannot carry
out his plans because ho Is unable to find iinv
ono ut this time to satisfactorily fill the posi
tion of third assistant secretary of stuto.
AllIII LAX ! ) IKUlnATION' .
Senator Plumb appears to have secured
control of the irrigation business. Ho has
defeated the plans of Major Powell of the
geological survey nnd has provided for the
carrying on of the work under the depart
ment of agriculture. It Is announced -that
Klchurd.l. Hlnton has been appointed su
perintendent of Irrigation under the secre
tary of agriculture and will spend f0XX ( ) in
experimenting on artesian wells between now
and July 1 next.
In IS-sS a law was passed authorizing n sur
vey ami investigation of the arid region of
the west , which covers an area of
liOO,000 ! square miles , with a view to
reclaiming It by Irrigation. The work was
ordered done by the geological survey mid
the first report has Just been Issued by Major
Powell , who declares that at least 150,000
squares miles , an area one-half us largo u * the
cultivated portion of the United States , may
bo reclaimed , by which t'.s ' .OOO.OOO may be
added to the wealth of the nation , Maps
have been made delineating the logographl-
ml features of the country , the areas of alt
drainage b.islns , the courses of streams , the
situation of lakes , springs nnd other bodies
of water , the positions of possible reborvolr
sites , the location of dams mid canal lines and
the attitude , position and general character
of all irrlguble lands , The hydraulic- and en
gineer work consisted of the measurement Of
rainfalls and the study of general meteorology
elegy , measurement of river ( low ,
evaporation and the matter carried
lu buspcusiou by the water uud
the determination of the cost of con
structing dams , ditches , cnnals nnd reser
voirs. Bills wcro Introduced to carry out
Powell's plans nnd spcelnl committees were
appointed to consider them , when Senator
Plumb stepped in and through his Influence
ns n ntember of the committee on appropria
tions knocks the whole scheme in the head
nnd transfers the work to the department of
agriculture , where it is to bo conducted un
der the direction of his old friend Hlnton.
who has been nn enthusiast on this subject
for several years. Plumb's motive is to pun
ish Powell , against whom ho has cherished n
grudge for several years.
Hinton's scheme Is to abandon the reser
voir system ns too expensive and to nso
artesian wells for the supply of special lo
calities at the expense of the government and
It Is proposed to appropriate )7Ii,000 ) for the
purpose next year. The work Is to bo begun

IDAHO AXD
"I expect the Idaho nnd Wyoming bills will
pass the senate without any long dcbato and
that within three or fouY days these territor
ies will ho admitted into the union , " said
Senator Plntt , the chairman of the commit
tee on territories , to Tun Br.n corresponden
today. "Tho bill will come up in advance of
the discussion of the silver question , which
Is made the unfinished business for Wednes
day. Wyoming will come first nnd the bill
will probably pass on Monday , nnd Idaho will
follow the next day. The two bills make no
provision for the continuation In ofllco of
Delegates Curcy nnd Duoo after the admis
sion of the states , and until the elections nro
heldl n those now states they will bo without
representatives. "
Delegate Dubois of Idaho said today : "Yes ,
I shall bo legislated out of office
ns soon as the president shall
have signed the bill admitting Idaho.
An unusual condition exists. As the territo
ries have adopted oonbtltutlons , nil that is
necessary to make thorn full Hedged states is
the passage of the aet nnd its approval. I
don't ' expect to bo a delegate from Idaho more
than fifteen days longer at the outside. Pro
vision is made In the bill that the state oftl-
ccrs shall hold office -tin til another election
can bo held. The same Is true of the county
officers. I don't know whether concrcss has
authority by resolution to continue Mr. Carey
nnd myself as delegates from the states.
There j are some matters that will need the
attention of some one , and perhaps wo could
bo retained by a joint resolution. I am not
up on that point , however. "
Senator Platt and others say that the two
now states will have to ibo unrepresented in
congress until after the election , provision for
which is made after ninety days.
It is common talk , atleastamongtho friends
of Mr. Dubois , that ho will bo the most avail
able man for senatorial honors from the new
state of Idaho , .Mr. Dutfojs is modest , however -
over , nnd says that he Is Uot figuring on the
promotion.
The bill for the admission of Wyoming will
bo amended by a clauiio which will prevent
the government from iu' any way jeopardizing
is jurisdiction over the national park , which
lies within the boundaries of the prooosed
now state of Wyoming.

there has scarcely boon Jimo for the officers

that nearly every man is pursuing some line

THE CUttltKSCr.
AVindom Shows Tluil tlio Government
Does Not Favor Contraction.
WASHINGTON' , May Secretary Windom
has written n letter In reply to nn article In
a financial newspaper on the general subject
of the currency , in which ho refutes the as
sertion that the administration favors the
contraction of the currency. Ho gives figures
in regard to the circulation nnd the treasury
holdings on May 1 , nndmakes a comparison
with the estimated circulation of tlio princi
pal countries of Europo. ' According to these
figures , nnd estimating the present popula
tion of the United States nt 01-
000,000 , the amount of metallic
ami paper money in the United States
not including any portion of the amount held
by the treasury Is $22.3 < J per capita , or more
than in any of the leading countries of Eu
rope , with the exception of Franco , iu which
the circulation is estimated nt $57. 0 per
capita.
"In regard to the money supposed to bo
hoarded in the United States treasury , " the
secretary says , "aside from the fund de
posited in the treasury 'by the national banks
for the redemption of notes and the balances
on deposit by disbursing officers , the only re
serve which Is keut by the treasury is5100 , -
ooo.ooo in gold for the redemption
of legal tender notes. The so-called surplus
can boused under the present law only In the
redemption of the bonded debt of the United
States , which Is being done as rapidly as the
bonds can bo judiciously purchased.
"Tho surplus on tha 1st lust. , exclusive
of fractional silver coin , amounted to only

In the national banks performing the
duty of n circulating medium. It is
the policy nnd purpose of the de
partment to withdraw n largo portion
of this deposit and invest It In United States
bonds as rapidly as jt can bo done without
danger to decreasing the actual circulation.
"I have already rcco'nmended In my an
nual report an Increase ) of the currency
amounting to about p50,000,000 per annum.
It should bo evident , therefore , thut this letter -

A Scandal in Connection with the Tii-
torment ofCronln'H Hndy.
Citic.Kio , May 2. [ Special Telegram to
Titu BII : : . ] The body of Dr. Cronhi is not
allowed to rest In peace oven after the grave
has closed over his remains. Alexander
Clark , a lawyer , today charges that the Cronin -
nin memorial committee has boon guilty of
some very sharp practice In regard to the In
terment of Dr. Cronln's remains Sunday.
There is an ordinance in the village of South
Evanston prohibiting the burial of bodies
within 000 feat of the shore of the lake. The
lot chosen for the final resting place of Dr.
Cronln's remains In Calvary cemetery is
within ! MX ) feet of the lake nnd of course
comes within the proscribed limits. A few
days ago Mr. Clark told Mr. Behind , the sec
retary of the committee , that ho did not wish
to have them to go to any expense in the mat
ter of preparing the lot for the interment of
the remains , ns the trustees would not allow
the body to bo Interred there ,
"I thought I would give you n friendly no
tice , " said Mr. Clark , "though if it is neces
sary wo will get an injunction to prevent you
from burying the body there. "
Mr. Clark now says thut ho has learned that
Dr. Cronin's body was taken stealthily out of
the receiving vault Wednesday morning and
burled within the proscribed limits. This is
denied by the memorial committee , but the
matter has created a great scandal.
CAXAIHAX
Ctilloiu FrcMCiitH n Lengthy Report to
the Senate ,
WASHINGTON' , May 2. The report presented
to the senate today by Mr. Cullom , from n
special committee , In regard to the relations
of the United States and Canadian railroads
and the discriminations of Canadian canals
nnd oports against American vessels , is u
length ) ' ono and embodies numerous recom
mendations and suggestions. It Is recom
mended that so long us discrimination was
continued in Canadian ports and canals that
similar duties bo levied on nil Canadian ves
sels entering American ports or tpasslng
through the Sault Ste. Marie canal.
On the railroad question , which is treated
nt considerable length , in the Judgment of
the committee congress should take such
action as will give American railroads an
even chance in competition with Canadian
roads doing business in this.country , Either
such a license system should bo established
us would bo applicable to Canadian Toads , or
some other plan not Injurious to the general
trade and commerce of the country should bo
adopted which shall secure American roads
an equal chance with Canadian lines.
Prohibition's Unroot on Vniikton.
YA.NKTOX , S. D. , May 2. [ Special to Tin :
Ben. ] Prohibition went into effect In South
Dakota Thursday nnd a Sunday aspect and a
mournful sadness prevails nnd pervades the
community. The two breweries of this city
nro closed , the men who run them are Idle ,
nnd the hitherto valuable properties nro ren
dered almost valueless. Whether the law will
bo enforced or not remains to bo seen , but
there is not n drop of beer or liquor in sight.
The public nlaccs are closed and deserted and
n funeral stillness seemed to have settled on
the community. But beer will bo shipped
in to individuals , and people will continue to
drink it , and the imported artklo will bo made
to take tlio place of that which has hereto
fore been made at hoino.nnd , notwithstanding
enforcement leagues , there will bo evasions
of the law in every community ; mid strife ,
crime and litigation will increase. The oper
ation of the law will bp severe on Yankton ,
because it closes two breweries , two bottling
establishments nnd two wholesale houscsund
throws a good many people out of work
who have nothing ahead. But the cranks
and crusaders are happy , ami the shouting ,
praying and hurrahing goes on.

Cut in Ijtilco and Itnll Kitten.
CHICAGO , May 2. [ Special Telegram to
Titc BIE. : ] The Great Northern has made it
slash in Jake and rail rates to St. I'aul , the
effect of which will be more far-reaching than
any cut made since the present demoralization
bee-an. The cut is from n 71-cent to a : > 5-cent
basis , the cut rates by classes from New York
being 5II , ! H , 20 , 21 and 18 cents respec
tively. From Dos ton the rates are iVJII. . ; iU ,
25 , 20 and 18 cents. From Philadelphia they
are -tit , its , 32 , 2-1 , 1'J and ll ! cents , and via
canal , lake and rail from New York W.
80 , 21 , 23 , 21 and -10 cents. St.
Paul tnkes In nil cases the
Mississippi river rnto of 40 ccnta
llrst class , the rate applying alike to all gateways -
ways from Sioux City to Kansas City. The
lake and rail rate , New York to Chlrapo , Is
on n fit-cent basis and the basis from Chicago
to the Missouri river Is 00 cents. Consequently
quently It is now cheaper by it ! cent per 100
ilrst class from New York to any Missouri
river point via St. I'aul than via Chicago. In
Hko manner it Is2l ! ccntH cheaper via St. Paul
from Boston. All the Great Northern rates
go into effect May fi. Tlio Chicago
west-bound lines will bo compelled to
apply desperate remedies if they
wish to meet the situation , while
it is practically certain that the Great North
ern will make corresponding cut to any niado
by the Chicago roads. A meeting will beheld
held tomorrow or Monday to consider the
matter , and it is probable the reduction will
bo met. The only other nltornatlvo Is for the
Chicago lines to abandon through business.
