Tlio fltoukynrdtt Coopers' Trouble
Likely to Ins Made an Interna

In Denver.
CHICAGO , Mny n. [ Special Telegram to
Tun BEE. ] The great carpenters1 strike is
finally settled BO far as the new bosses' asso
ciation is concerned. Fully four thousand
Journeymen cariwiilcra will go to woric by
Thursday.
The arbitration committee of the
new bosses' association nnd the strikers met
this evening nnd settled the lust detail.
The journeymen achieved almost a sweep
ing victory. They made concessions on but
two points.
The only disippointincnt wus that the stub
bornness of the old Masters' association has
loft its members wholly out of the final deal.
The ofllclul statement of the terms of settle
ment will not ho Issued until tomorrow , but it
is reliably stated that tho. document provides
for nn eight-hour day. Over-time is only to
bo allowed between certain stipulated hours
at night ,
Thu minimum rate of wages is fixed at ' >
pcnts an hour up to August 1 , nnd tllcrc-
nftcrat17j ! < f cents. Over-time will bo rated nt
time and a half and Sunday tlmo as double
time.
In the matter of apprentices concessions
wove Hindu by both sides. The employers
agree to employ union men even for foremen.
A strike among the flagmen stationed nt
the crossings of the Fort Wayne and Western
Indiana roads is contemplated. Thcro nro
nbout forty employes In all and they receive
07 cents a day. Last week they presented a
petition to the manager of the two
lines named asking for an increase in
wages. The demand has been ignored and
f hencetlio talk of a strike. The men claim
that the flagmen of other roads secure all the
way from ? 1.'J5 to f l.BO per day.
The luilorcsses employed in the coat nnd
vest making establishments have rebelled
against Iho gradual decrease in their wages
which have neon reduced several times dur
ing the winter , and have demanded on in
crease. The boss tailors nro to give un an
swer tomorrow , and should the demands bo
refused the fair manipulators of needle nnd
shears will strike. The movement will in
volve several hundred working women , and
will boby no means nn unimportant phase of
the great labor agitation.
An International Strike
CHICAGO , May , 5 Acording to the predic-
v tlons of the stockyards coopers there Is a
probability of their cause being taken up by
the English dock laborers , and the strike
becoming international. At a meeting of tlio
Brotherhood of United Labor , today a com
mittee was appointed to communleato with
John Burns , the English labor leader , und
to request him to order the English long
shoremen not to handle any beef or other
products shipped by Chicago houses ,
The committee says Burns has
taken great interest in the cnuso of the men
nt the yards. The men in nn open letter say
thut by the terms of their agreement , signed
.after the great strike of IbbO , they uro sub-
Jcci.to discharge without warning , while in
case of qutttiiig they must give two weeks'
notice or forfeit ten days' pay , which the em-
. .ploycrs withhold. Sometimes they say they
It- uro only given two or three days' work per
week , but uro compelled to remain or lose
their forfeit money. They are compelled to
work Sundays. If a mini is two minutes Into
in tha morning ho is docked nn hour's pay ,
but if the work Is finished before the close of
the day ho is not paid for u full day.

Governor John M. Thuyor , Lincoln , Neb.
Dear Sir : I see by lust night's paper that
you had a meeting or conference with the rep
resentatives of the vnriousrullroiulcompanies
In Nebraska , for the purpose of determining
the valuation that should bo placed on the
different railroads in the state in the assess
ment of the present year. As thcro is
n great differenca in valuation placed
on the same class of property in the various
counties , ns for instance , Madison county on
rash value basis , Stanton county one-half ,
Cuining county three-fifths of nctnal cash
value , etc. , would it not bo just to the people
that the valuation of rnilroiid and telegraph
property should bo on the same basis as the
property of the people is assessed ut in the
various counties. It is desired that you set a
day when the people can bo heard before your
board , and we will sco that a delegation from
Madison county will meet you.
Hoping that this will receive favorable con
sideration ut your hands , I remain yours ,
truly , P. SCUWKNK.

A very strong effort will bo made by the
friends of ex Speaker Carlisle to secure forhim
the vacant scnutorsbtp in Kentucky ; made by
the death of Senator Beck , nnd the principal
argument ucd in behalf of the ox-speaker
will bo that ho has for the sake of his party
occupied n position on the tariff ! which has
almost ruined him with his local constituency
and made his re-election this fall u very un
certain thing ; that if ho had not sacri
ficed his local interests for the national cnuso
of tariff reform ho could have set his.salls BO
as to have made his continuance In the liouso
nn easy matter.
Uepresentutlvo McCrary nnd W. P. C.
Brcckcnridgo will also como Into the field for
the vacancy created by the death of Mr.
Beck. While ex-Speaker Carlisle is popular
in Washington , thcro is a feeling that some
body nt homo may slip in and carry away the
prize , as Mr. Carlisle has been in congress so
long that ho has drifted away from homo in
terests and the people who mnko the politics
of the state. It is believed that the legisla
ture will elect a successor to Senator Beck
before it adjourns ; although it has but u few
days in which to do the work , *

SOUTH DAKOTA TIN.

ered to the senate committee- finance ono
thousand pounds of tin ore , nnd ono hundred
pounds of pig tin und other specimens of tin ,
taken from tlio Honey Peak tin mines in tlio
Black Hills of South Dakota. Ho intends
to use these ns a tangible illustration of the
possibilities of South Dakota tin mines in
asking for an Increase of duty on tin plate.
Senator Moody said this afternoon , that
South Dakota alone would furnish all .tho tin
to be used in the United States , if protection
Is glvien suflleiently long to bring nbout too
development of the mines.
THE ANTI-OmtHTMASPEU HILL.
Interviews today with the republican mem
bers of the Ohio delegation in congress on the
anti-gerrymander bill disclose tue fact that
three or four of them wiirHmtniMnizo It on
the ground of federal interference with state
rights. General Kennedy does not believe
tlio measure should pass ; however , a largo
majority favor it und say it will become a
law but will not take effect until the eleventh
census ii ratified nnd a rCapportionment is
made upon it , so the democrats will get the
benefit of their gerrymander in Ohio , Mary
land and other states for the Fifty-second
congress.
IU1IIGATION MATTKnS.
The South Dakota senators say that $350-
000 will bo appropriated at this session of
congress for tlio purpose of beginning the
irrigation of the arid plains of North und
South Dakota , Montana and the northwest ,
nnd that tlio money will bo used in boring
artesian wells in what is supposed to bo the
artesian basin of that country. They say
that North and South Dakota have already
demonstrated a sufficient artesian power
to make not only irrigation
but tlio artesian process practicable ,
but that any quantity ot power for manufac
turing purposes can bo obtained by tapping
the artesian basin. Senator Moody says that
the people interested in tlio Irrigation of the
arid plains will not bo content with u simple
survey of the country to bo irrigated , but will
demand n sufllclent amount of money to begin
work on irrigation and will tuko n position
which will miiko it next to an impossibility to
accomplish anything in congress unless tno
demand is granted.
The conclusion of the sub-commltteo of the
house committee on irrigation to accept Mr.
Council's proposition to withdraw from the
market the basin lands which supply basin
irrigation for the arid plains meets with gen
eral approval nnd thcro is very little doubt
that it will tuko the form of n law. . It is tlio
purpose now of congress to protect settlers
against corporations which secure the water
supply of the country nnd make free Irriga
tion nn impossibility. The government in
tends to enter into thu Irriimtlnn lii > lnnuu
Itself and will hold the water basins for thut
purpose.
PGXSIOX OUTLOOK.
The pension committee of the senate wil
meet tomorrow , when it is expected the Merrill -
rill bill , which passed the housb lust week us
a substitute for the senate dependent pension
bill , will bo considered and the measure put
in form for a conference committee. I asked
Chairman Morrlll of the hoii.se committee to
day how much time would bo required for the
conference committee to complete its work.
He said that after the conference committee
once began business there would bo little , if
any , delay. Ho did not anticipate any pro
longed discussion of the matter , but expected
the conferees on the part of the two houses to
easily agree- upon a bill which would meet
the approval of the senate and house , and
that , in his opinion , the president's signature
will bo attached to the bill within tha next
four or five weeks. A careful canvass of sev
eral other prominent members of the house
pension committee developed the fact that they
all expect to sco an early agreement on the
pension question nnd that not moro than four
or live weeks nt the very farthest will bo ro-
requlred to get the measure- before the presi
dent for his approval. The Morrlll bill as
passed ny the house , provides for on addi
tional expenditure- above the regular pension
appropriations of nbout f50.000.000 a year ,
while the senate bill only calls for an extra
outlay of f $ $ ,000,000. The disagreement be
tween tha two branches of congress Is not ,
however , over the question of expenditure.
Senator Davis , chairman of the committee ,
says that ho expects to SOD in the pension
measure when It comes out of the conference
committee n clause providing for dependents ,
and thinks the bill will Involve a somewhat
larger appropriation that the Morrlll service
bill.
rr/rnoiiF.w ox SILVER LEGISLATION.
Senator Pcttigrew of South Dakota speak
ing of the outlook for silver legislation said
tills afternoon : "Nothing but a bill which
will rernonotizo silver can bo passed by this
congress. The friends of such a measure uiu
in the majority nnd they nro moro determined
than these who contend for u continuation of
the demonetization of silver. Formany years
silver has been demonetized by the issuance
of certilicatea which nro redeemable in silver
only. Wo must have the certillcato. mudo ro-
decmablo in lawful money of the United
States and then sliver will stund upon u par
with gold. Any man who attempts to take u
| K > sitlon ugulust this proposition will bo re
tired to private life because the demonetiza
tion of silver is one of the most cogent rea
sons for the depression of the money market
and the low prices for our products , Cold ! is
now worth 80 ncr cent mow than sliver be-
cuuso tha bullion in a gold coin 'is worth tbo

U not worth moro than TO cents.'o have
too long permitted a gradual dccrcaso of the
circulating medium , I liuvo no puUunco with
the continual retirement of iiutloual batik
circulation and the piling \ip of largo sums In
the treasury for the redemption ot legal
tenders or anything else. Wo must keep
the money In circulation. If the Joint caucus
on the silver question decides to pass a bill
providing that silver certlilcatcs shall bo ro-
deeuiablo in coin or sliver bullion 1 intend not
to bo bound by the caucus action nud 1 know
of a largo number of republican senators who
will not bo bound by the caucus obligation if
such action Is taken. I shall make this an
nouncement In the caucus , "
TUP. 8CNATK MUST SHOW IT9 IIAXI ) .
It is stnk'd by a loading republican member
of the house that silver legislation must bo
Inaugurated in the senate ; that speaker
Heed who is in thorough accord with the pres
ident nnd secretary of the treasury , is deter
mined not to let the bill como up in the liouso
until the scnato has shown Its hand by f lie
passage of its bill , and if the bill so passed is
not entirely satisfactory to the administration
ho will block all silver legislation by the
appointment of confcrcs on the part of the
house , who will not yield to the senate
propositions.

The effort is being' made by citizens of
Lincoln to have a pension agency established
thcro so that the pcn.siouer.s In Nebraska may
draw their monov from n local agency instead
of receiving it from the agency at Don Moiues.
The proposition lacks the endorsement of
cither the comml'sioncr of pensions or the
secretary of the interior , nnd It is not likely
that a pension agency" will be established
there. There is an Inclination to abolish
pension agencies wherever it is possible and
let the drafts for pensions go out from the

The superintendent of the census reports
that the clerks in Gage nnd Richardson coun

it is poor policy for the ofllccrs in any county
to refuse to report oh the indebtedness with
n view to keeping the public ignorant of the
fact that the counties nro carrying a heavy

CHICAGO , May 5. [ Special Telegram to
TUB BKE. ] In Judgo'Hawes' division of the
criminal court today the case of Patrick
Crow , the young Omaha desperado under in
dictment for ono robliery' und attempting to
kill two policemen nndi ono citizen , came up.
Crow will work the insanity dodge on trial
with the assistance -.Attorney . W. A. Fos
ter , but ho seemed mottj 'clever than'c'razy as
ho asked for a'continuance on the grounds of
the absence ot his lawyer.
"Gun you get him Jicro nt 2 o'clock , " asked
the court.
"I don't know , " said Crowo , with a smile ,
"I'm in jail and can't go 'for him very well ,
judge , you know. " *
"That's true , we'll send for him for you , "
said the judge.
Tlio Inter-Ocean today commenting upon
the case says : "Tho fellow has Influential
friends , it is said , and they nro straining
themselves to secure for him nn acquittal
when the case shall como up before the crimi
nal court today. Friends are useful or use
less , according to the cause which they
expon.se , and surely no ono will have the
hardihood to assume that Crow's ' friends can
aid him in his extremity. His friends nro
the enemies of the public when they array
themselves ngainst the operation of justice ,
Crow comes from Omaha ; so do his friends ,
und the rumor is that Crow's lawyer will set
up the plea of insanity for his client. Up
holders of the law in Dcudvvood , when it wus
u younger town , ntrd pther places , have
strum ; ui > blackguards iiko Crow when they
exhibited symptoms ot insanity analogous to
this recent adventure ofhis , and no ono ques
tioned the righteousness of the penalty. But
In the moro populous cities , bullies like Crow
have need of the softening effects which the
insanity dodge gives to their culpability , and
it often KGrvos the purpose of n stout'defense.

But Crow was not crazy * . Ho was not crazy
when ho stole the diamonds and had murder

Ho was not crazy when ho pawned the diamonds

Complaint.
r CHICAGO , MnyI. . [ Special Telegram to
TUP. BEE , ] The president of every western
railroad was represented cither in person or
by proxy ut today's meeting1. It wus culled
solely for the purpose of advancing rates , as-
sociatlon mutters not being considered , be-
causa n number of these present were not
members of the Interstate Commerce Hall-
wny association.
Tlio meeting was organized by electing
Vleo President Ilowo of the Wnbash chair
man. An informal discussion followed , and
when the roprcscalativo of each line had
spoken hla ploco it was found that nil
wcro agreed that an advance in rules was ab
solutely necessary to preserve the solv
ency of many of the roads. It
was , moreover , unanimously agreed that
to bring about n complete and
permanent restoration of rates It would bo
necessary to how dangerously close to the
line abolishing pooling in the interstate com
merce net. It was likewise agreed that It
might bo a matter of weeks to divide either
the earnings or trafllo acceptably , and after
the passage of n resolution that present tariff
rates should under no corcunistanccs bo cut
by any line until a settlement was reached ,
nnd that Colorado rates bo restored to the old
basis on Mny 19 , the following resolution was
passed :
That the managing officers of the traffic
departments of these companies shall con
vene hero on the 8th inst. for the purpose of
forming ono or moro organizations to govern
the freight traffic which Is covered
by the Western Freight association ( all
divisions ) and the Trans-Missouri Freight as
sociation , nnd such other business as It may
bo deemed necessary to include , nnd for the
further purpose of arranging at the earliest
possible date for the restoration of freight
rates as nearly as can bo agreed upon to the
figures which wcro In effect on December 31 ,
1S89 , together with the rules and regulations
to govern the conduct of this traffic.
All the presidents agree that the prospect is
brighter for tho1 railroads than it has been in
months and that not only will there ho n
speedy restoration of rates , but that the out
come of the meeting , which will bo continued
tomorrow , will bo the formation of a new and
strong association to take the plaeo
of the Interstate Commerce Uullivay
association.
The passenger men also meet tomorrow ,
and unless the Wisconsin Central pushes Its
demand for u differential there will probably
bo no object ion to an advance in passenger
rates to the old basis and to tbo reorganiza
tion of the Western States Passenger associ
ation on an agreement even stronger than the
original one.
An Iowa Complaint.
DCS MOIXES , la. , May 5. [ Special Tele
gram to Tin : BUB. ] The first formal com
plaint under the now railroad law for joint
rates was made to the commissioner today by
Mr. Kobert Donahue of Burlington. Ho
asks that the Chicago , Burlington &
Quincy and the Burlington , Cedar
Uapids & Northern roads bo
compelled to put in force n joint rate , accordIng -
Ing to the provisions of the law. Ho states
the case of a customer at EUlora , who hud
just paid a higher rate for freight from Bur
lington than ho would hnvo had to .pay if ho
hud shipped the freight from Chicago or St.
Louis. Ho says ho can't stand it , and Mr.
Donahno warns the commissioners that if
they don't ' enforce the joint rate law Iowa
jobbers will not bo able to do any business.
The commissioners received a letter today
from Chairman Fuithom of the Western traf-
flo association at Chicago , saying that so fai
ns ho knew there was no truth in the report
that the roads had decided that they would
not obey the law nnd put in joint rates. Ho
thinks that no decision on the subject has yet
been rendered.
Motion Temporarily Denied.
CHICAGO , May 5. Judge Blodgett today
denied temporarily the motion to make Maur
ice D. O'Connell a party complainant in the
suit of M. Id Jcssup , trustee , against the Illi
nois Central , Cedar Falls & Minnesota and
the Dubuciuo & Sioux City railroad com
panies. The court , however , gave O'Connell
leave to renew his motion when it is reached ,
for a hearing. ' The motion was bused on the
petition , which contains some serious allega
tions. Jcssup some tiiuo ago begun in his ca
pacity of trustee proceedings to compel the
Sioux City nnd the Illinois Central railroad to
fullill their contract on the leases
made by the Cedar Falls & Minnesota
road. The contracts provided that the jcssecs
should keep the road beds In repair and the
plants in operation. The suits uro said to
have never been prosecuted. O'Connell's pe
tition alleges that neglect is caused by Jossun
being interested in the Dubuque road , which
is affiliated with the Illinois central. O'Cou- '
nell is tha trustee of a mortgage executed by
the Cedar Falls & Minnesota road and
claims to bo ready and anxious to push the
suits , adding that there is every reason to
bellevo that the Illinois Central can bo held
responsible.

It is known that Hnwloy drew out $1,000

of the bank seems to have been carried on in
a reckless manner , many accounts being

worthless. The checks are being held as
collateral. A hasty examination of the books
of the concern by the assigiieo gives him the
impression that ho can pay 75 cents on the

largo percentage of the 34,1 < U registered
voters will express their wishes by the Aus
tralian system , its first trial on a largo scale
in Minnesota , though the law was enacted in
February , 1SS9. Tlio candidates for mayor
are Hobort A. Smith , the present democratic
incumbent , Andrew R. Kiofcr , republican ,
nnd Newton II. Frost , prohibition and law
and order. The issues uro purely local , and
the campaign has been ono of mud slinging
from the outset. The Pioneer Press , the
leading republican paper of the state ,
bolted Colonel Kiefer and boldly .charged
him with being a liar and
dishonest in his business methods , printing a
long list of affidavits to prove Its charges.
Mr. Kiofer bestirred himself and secured n
committee of business men to examine the
charges , nnd this body exonerated him. This
set the tide of public feeling strongly in favor
of Colonel Kiofcr , and his chances of election
are reported bright. The republican committee -
too mudo a careful estimate of the whole city
by wards this afternoon and places Colonel
IJIofcr's majority nt 1,000. This claim is
based on the belief that the Germans and the
labor clement will stand pretty solidly by the
colonel. At democratic headquarters there is
a decided feeling of uncertainty nud no figures
uro given out.
