A BIG STRIKE COMING.
Labor Troubles In New York Will
Afl‘eCt About 10,000 Men.
CAUSE OF THE DIFFICULTY.
I‘wo Orgnnizations Have a Dlflerence
With Regard to the Right to :Do
Certain Work — Walking lDele-
gates to Decide the Matter.
NEW YORK, March 9. -—A big strike, in-
volving more than 10,000 men, is in prep-
aration, and within 24 hours the workers
on all the new office buildings in this city,
anludin g carpenters, steam fitters, masons,
cement layers, tile layers and helpers, ma-
chinists and engineers, will probably quit
work in a body. ,
" Among the big buildings affected are‘
William Waldorf Astor’s new hotel, the
Bank of Commerce, the New York Life
building, the Central National Bank
building and the Bowling Green building.
The board of walking delegates meets this
afternoon at the headquarters, 139 East
Fifty-ninth street, to discuss the strike.
The board of walking delegates and the
Central Labor union look upon the Ele-
vator Constructors’ union as a nonunion
organization, and they say that if these
men are not laid off a general strike will
be ordered and 10,000 men will stop work.
Secretary Henry of the Central Labor
union said that, while a general strike had
not yet been declared, he had no doubt it
would be, as he did not expect that the
nonunion men would quit Work before the ,
time of the meeting of the board of walk-
ing delegates. '
The center of the storm is in the Inter-
national Machinists’ union, of which
James O’Connell is grand master, and
which controls the 10, 000 men who are to
be ordered out.
O’Connell is on his way here from Chi-
cago, and it is expected that on his arrival
he will take charge of matters. The cause
of the strike is a dispute between the ele-
vator constructors and the machinists as
to Whose province certain work belongs.
The Elevator Constructor‘g’ union was at
one time affiliated with the board of walk-
ing delegates. But now it is no longer
affiliated, and both the board of walking
delegates and the Central Labor union
look upon its members as nonh‘ion men.
Little Hope of Settleufltl'.
George Warner, delegate of the Interna-
tional Machinists’ union, notified the C.
L. U. of the impending strike. He said
that at one time his organization, which
had controlled the work for years, paid
dues to the Elevator Constructors’ union,
but had ceased doing so as soon as it left
the two central bodies.
He said he had talked with the represent-
atives of the Sprague company and the
Otis company and that they had ignored
the claims of the machinists.
“If they do not employ the men who are
entitled to this work,” he said, “strikes
will be ordered in the shops of the Sprague
and Otis' companies here and in the Otis
company’s shops at Watsessing, N. J.,
and in all the large buildings in which
they have contracts.
“More than this, general strikes of all
the trades represented in the board of
walking delegates will follow. ”
The C. L. U. has indorsed Warner’s re-
port, and Warner says that the strikes will
be ordered, as there is no hope that the de-
mands made upon the companies will
be complied with.
The machinists say that for a long time
the work usually conceded to them has
been given to the elevator constructors.
This includes engines, pumps, ma-
chinery, hoisting apparatus and work on
the dynamos, where the cables are run by
electricity.
These elevator constructor men, the ma-
chinists say. are nonunion men, and the
machinists will fight them to the last ditch.

THE END CAME PEACEFULLY
Mrs. B'secher’s Demise Occurred on the
Tenth Anniversary of Her Husband's
Death—Her Last Moments—A
Sketch of Her Career.
STAMFORD, Conn., March 9.—At an
early hour today the attendants at the bed-
side of Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher sum-
moned the members of the family to her
chamber, and it was seen that the end was
not far distant. The patient was lying in
a comatose state, and the respiration was
exceedinlgy slow and apparently difficult.
The attending physician was speedily sum-
moned, but his presence was unnecessary,
for Mrs. Beecher was beyond human aid.
She sank steadily, and several times the
weeping friends thought that death had
come. As the morning progressed the
weakness of the dying woman became
more pronounced, and at 10:42, without
MRS. HENRY WARD BEECHER.
having regained consciousness, the patient
quietly passed away without a semblance
of a struggle. A remarkable coincidence
is that today was the tenth anniversary of
the death of her distinguished husband. ‘
Mrs. Beecher’s Eventful Life.
Eunice White Beecher, wife of the re-
nowned pulpit orator, was born at West
Sutton, Worcester county, Mass, 84 years
ago. She was the daughter of a. physician,
Dr. Artemas Ballard, whose son was a
student at Amherst college at the same
time as Mr. Beecher.
It was in this way that .she came to
meet her future husband. The latter was
invited by young Bullard to spend a. vaca-
tion at West Sutton.
After they had known one another buta
very short while they became betrothed,
though she Was not yet 18 years of age.
According to Mrs. Beecher’s own ac-
count, it happened that on the day of his
arrival at West Sutton the conversation
chanced to turn on the engagement of one
of his classmates to a young woman of
their acquaintance. Beecher discredited
the report, and, when young Bullard vowed
that he had it from the lips of the class-
mate in question, “then,” said Beecher,
“he was hoaxing you. She knows nothing
of music, and he would never marry any
one who couldn’t sing. I know, ” he add-
ed emphatically, “I never would.”
About six months after this trivial inci-
dent Beecher proposed marriage to Dr.
Bullard’s daughter with some abruptness
and urged an immediate answer.
“But, ” said she, “you know I can’t sing,
and you remember what you said of your
classmate’s engagement. ”
“That was six months ago,” he replied,
and it was finally decided that the ques-
tion should be put to her parents. After
some hesitation —- for Beecher was very
young—the parents consented, but it was
not until seven years later, when Beecher
had already been ordained and called to
his first charge, that they were married.
For two years Mr. and 1111‘s. Beecher re-
mained at Lawrenceburg, Ind, where they
lived very frugally, for Mr. Beecher’s in-
come was none of the largest.
Mrs. Beecher has told of their early ex-
periences in housekeeping. They had lit-
tle money. ' Boarding was not to be
thought of, for it would have swallowed
up her husband’s income. At last they
found two rooms, dirty beyond description,
which had formerly been occupied by a
laborer and his wife. Having cleaned the
rooms thorOughly, they next fell to seek-
ing furniture.
Starting Housekeeping.
Mrs. Beecher has given a vivid descrip-
tion of how they picked up a study table
and chair here, a scrap of old carpet there
and all the other little things that were
necessary to furnish their new apartments.
Sometimes it was the remains of an old
bookshelf found among the rubbish that
had been thrown into the back yard as
kindling wood, which was carefully clean-
ed and varnished and placed against the
wall of Mr. Beecher’s study, sometimes
the remains of 'an old coat, good for noth-
ing else, which, was carefully cleaned and
converted into a table cover. So by de-
grees they succeeded in making themselves
a home.
Afterward they moved to Indianapolis,
'where they remained until 1847, when Mr.
Beecher was called to Plymouth church in
Brooklyn. Mrs. Beecher had ten children,
of whom only four—three sons and a.
daughter—are now living. During most
of the latter part of her life she dwelt in a
little house on the corner of Hicks and
Orange streets, Brooklyn.
It was at the Beecher home in Indian-
apolis, it is said, that Harriet Beecher
Stowe, the preacher’s celebrated sister, re-
ceived the inspiration which resulted in
the production of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin. ”
Mrs. Beecher went to Port Townshend,
Wash, in August, 1895, unattended, to
celebrate her eighty-\third birthday and \to
visit her youngest son, Herbert. She stood
the journey well and returned in good
health and spirits. A few months ago she
went, to visit her daughter, Mrs. Samuel
Scoville, in Stamford, and while there fell’
and fractured her hip. This accident
proved too much for her vitality. She was
never afterward able to leave the house
and sunk slowly but surely until her death.
Mrs Ececlier‘s living children are Mrs.
Samuel Scoville of Stamford, Colonel
Henry Barton Beecher of Brooklyn, Wil-
liam, a lawyer, with an oflice in the Broad-
way bank building, New York, and Her-
bert, captain of a steamship on the Pacific
coast. '

the Inauguration Crowd Giving Way to
Office Seekers. =
WASHINGTON, March 9.—The rush to-
Ward the White House was unabated to-
day, but it was not the clamorous crowd
of last week, for most of the inauguration
visitors had left the city. In their places
came those intent on placing the question
of the oflices and other matters before the
(resident. The people at the outer doors
were told that the president would hold a
public reception at 3 o‘clock, and this had
the efl‘ect of keeping back the general
crowd until later in the day.
The president Was at his desk by 9
o’clock. One of the first callers was Colo-
nel John Bay, who, it is expected, will be
nominated as em bassador to the court of
St. James. He had a brief talk with the
president and then gave way to Senator
Wolcott of Colorado, who saw the presi-
Sient for the first time since the senator’s
return from Europe. ‘The call lasted 15
minutes. Then came Senators Chandler
of New Hampshire, Platt of Connecticut,
N elson and Davis of Minnesota, Wilson of
Washington, Cullom and Mason of Illi-
nois, Allison and Gear of Iowa, Fairbanks
.of Indiana and Perkins of California, Rep-
resentatives Dolliver of Iowa, Babcock of
Wisconsin, Hitt of Illinois, Grosvenor of
Ohio and Hopkins and Foss of Illinois.
Mingled with these congressional dele-
gations were public men whose names
have been prominently mentioned in con-
nection with responsible offices, including
(ax-Representative Bellamy Storer, whose
appointment as assistant secretary of state
is said to be assured; Perry Heath of In-
diana, a probable assistant secretary of the
treasury; General Scruggs, one of the
Venezuelan counsel, who had a brief talk
with the president in this connection; H.
Clay Evans of Tennessee, and General W.
W. Dudley.
TEE ARBITRATION TREATY.
All Proposed Amendments “’ili Now
Have to Be Reofl'ered.
WASHINGTON, March 9.——-In executive
session today Senator Davis, chairman of
the foreign relations committee, offered a
resolution referring back to that commit—
tee the treaty of arbitration, and it was
agreed to. At the close of the session of
congress pending legislation which has not
been acted upon fails. In the case of the
treaty, however, it remains as it came to
the senate from the president, but all
pending amendments offered in the ‘benate
or proposed by the committee failed and
have to be reoffcred.
The resolution led to considerable dis-
cussion.
As soon as Senator Davis had offered his
motion to refer the treaty back to the com-
mittee Senator Morgan raised the point
that this could not be done. There was
considerable argument as to the parlia-
mentary status of the treaty, and after it
had been explained the resolution of Sen-
ator Davis was adv pied without division.
A meeting cf the foreign relations com—
mittee has been called for Wednesday at
12_o’clock, at which time the treaty will
be considered. At present there are two
vacancies on the committee, both on the
Republican side, but it is not believed that
it will make any difference in regard to
the strength of the treaty in committee.
Senator Sherman voted for and Senator
Cr-ineron against reporting the treaty, so
tl. I. vote will be relatively the same when
the matter again come: to a test. Oppo-
rats of the treaty in the senate say that
th' no will be a great deal of discussion he-
for-c the treaty can pass, no matter if the
committee again amends it, as before.
A Mass Meet-ing of Greeks.
NEW YORK. March 9.—D. N. Botassi,

MRS. RUIZ IN new You.
Charge That Her Husband Was Murdered
Reiterated by the Widow. -
NEW YORK, March 10.-——Mrs. Rita L.
Ruiz, the widow of Dr. Ricardo Ruiz, who
recently died in the Spanish military
prison at Guanabacca, according to some
reports, from violence, arrived from Cuba
with her five children on the Ward line
steamer Seneca today. The steamer was
docked at the foot of Wall street shortly
after 9 o’clock, and at that time there was
a' large crowd of men and women on the
pier. Mrs. Ruiz and her children, three
girls and two boys, were among the first
to come down the gangplank {bun the
steamer. Several friends accompanied
them.’ Mrs. Ruiz said that she did not
know that she had anything to add in re-
lation to the death of her husband or his
treatment as an American citizen by the
Spanish government. 4'
“He was foully murdered,” she said,
“and I will take such action as I may be
advised to by my friends. - I want to thank
the American reople for their expression
of sympathy, :.::-l I cannot say too much
of heartfelt thanks at the kindness of
Consul General Lee. For the present I
will be in the city with friends.” ~
After leaving the steamer the children
were driven to the United States hotel.
Mrs. Ruiz’s appearance and manner in-
dicated that she was in a highly nervous
state. It was likely, her firends said, that
her case would be placed before the new
administration at Waslxiugton‘as soon as
possible. The Seneca 10:" t Cuba on Thurs-
day last and Mrs. Ruiz and her family
were taken from the landing stage in a
lighter out to the steamer on Thursday
morning. On Sunday last it stormed all
day, and when the storm was at its height
a wave struck the porthole of Mrs. Ruiz’s
stateroom, which was >10. 19, and smashed
the glass. Mrs. Ruiz ran up to the deck
in a. hysterical condition and cried that
she was afraid of being killed. A physi—
cian succeeded in quieting her, and during
the rest of the passage no unusual incident
occurred.
Dr. C. N. Torrie. a passenger, said that
at the military prison at Matanzas he was
informed that several prisoners of war
were taken out every morning and shot.
The cells were in a filthy condition and the
prisoners were treated brutally. Dr; Towle
drove about Cuba, but found things com-
paratively quiet there.
An Appeal For Funds.
HARRISBURG, March 10.——The trustees

petitioned the legislature for an appropria-

It is stated that, owing to the great in-
crease in the number of students—those
from Pennsylvania alone num boring more
than 2,000—the university needs the help
of the legislature.

formation that Greece has only 3,000 troops
in Thessaly, while the whole army effect-
ive there is only 14,000 men, and mobili-
zation of the available force will realize
barely 30,000 untrained troops.

ALBANY, March 10. —Senator Lamy re-
aeived today the press censorship bill drawn

EMULSION
The most remarkable reconstruc-~
tive in the history of medicine. *
For lung and throat affections
and wasting diseases it stands pre-
eminent. It is the long looked
for substitute for Cod-Liver Oil,
and greatly superior in results.
Soothing, cleansing and heal-
ing to the inflamed lung tissues,
it promptly relieves cough, and
is also an aid to appetite, diges-
tion and bowel action, a rapid
flesh builder and strengthener,
and perfectly agreeable to take.
Druggists, 50c. and $1.00.
