WASHINGTON, March 30.—-The secretary of the treasury has stopped the payment of the draft for $769,144, drawn in favor of the governor of Indiana, in settlement of the claim of that state under the direct tax act.

Those \Vho Waited Until Saturday, How- ever, \Vere Refused Employment. ROCHESTER, N. Y.. March 30.—The cut- ters applied for work in bodies at their former places of employment Saturday, and were informed in each instance that their services were not desired. All the locked out men who previously applied will be given work Monday. The former cutters of Wile, Stern & Co. applied for work at the factory and were acCepted. They sign-3d agreements renouncing their allegiance to the Knights of Labor. These men will be distributed among the twenty- one factories. A force of’cutters arrived from New York and more are expected shortly. The manufacturers say they will have no trouble in filling their shops with a sufficiently large force of men. °A member of the manufacturers’ com- mittee, in explanation of the latest action of the exchange, said to a United Press re- porter Saturday afternoon: “Of course the public will readily understand why we have taken this action. The reason is ap- parent on its face. W'e invited the men to return to our employment in goodifaith, and were ready to receive any and an who nad not made themselves obnoxious by pernicious activity in this controversy. The answer to our invitation was—first, a ooycott declared upon all Rochester cloth- mg by the officers of the national organi- zation, and, second, a resolution adopted at the cutters’ meeting pledging support to the national officers in their attempt to . ruin our business. In other words, they would come back to us, manufacture our goods, take their wages and then attempt to prevent the sale of the goods in the market. They want to fight us while in our employ, and we are not willing to; af- ford them the opportunity. We came to the conclusion that these are not the kind we want in our employ.” James Wright, the general organizer of the cutters, was seen by a United Press re- porter. He said: “The men were willing to return to work on the conditions named by the manufacturers. They were willing to cease their connection with the Knights of Labor. The men were un— aware, however, what conditions would be exacted from them by the manufactur- ers. Their only information was rumor. We have received no official communica- tion from the manufacturers.” There will be a meeting of the cutters on ' Monday to take action on the refusal of the employers to hire them. This meet- ing was called Friday, and the latest step of the exchange must therefore have been anticipated. , The former cutters of Michaels, Stern=&. Co. applied at the factory Saturday .to hold a conference with the firm; The members of this firm were absent. They promised to return in the afternoon. " THREE PERSONS KILLED.

The noise startled the woman, who upon looking around and seeing the strange man became so terrified that she fell ina swoon. The peddler picked-up the unconscious woman and was about placing her on the bed when her husband entered. The latter, thinking that the man had assaulted his wife, picked up a heavy club and without word struck the peddler on the head, crushing his. skull and killing him almost instantly. The woman subsequently came to and ex- plained matters.
