Postal Bounty Law.

That the new Postal subsidy law will
surely give the United States very much
quicker communication, not only with
Latin America, but also with China, J a.
pan and the “Islands of the Sea,” is a
foregone conclusion.-

The requirements in regard to vessels
Of the second class are that they have
at least 5,000 tons gross register, and
that they shall make a speed of sixteen
knots per hour on each voyage for
which they receive payment. The Pa-
cific Mail Company has only one vessel
Of this class Of tonnage—the City Of
Peking—plying between San Francisco,
Yokohama and Hong Kong. At pres-
ent this steamship makes the voyage at
an average speed Of only eleven knots,
and takes twenty-five days for the trip
to Hong Kong. In order to get the
bounty Of $2 per mile paid to vessels of
the second class for carrying the mails
the City of Peking or some faster ves-
sel in her place will have to increase
her speed to a pitch that would enable
her to reach. the Chinese port in eight-
een: days.

In the same way the American steam-
ships now making the long voyage of
7,172 miles, from San Francisco to Syd-
ney, stopping at Honolulu and Auk-
land, would need to shorten the time of
their voyage from thirty days, its pres-
ent duration, to about twenty-two.
Coming nearer home to the Atlantic
seaboard, we see that, in order to earn
the amount paid under the subsidy law,
the third-class steamships that now
make the voyage from New York to
Rio J aneiro in about twenty-four days,
or at the average rate of about nine
knots, would have to increase their
speed to fourteen knots, and thus

 

 

 

 

 

shorten the time Of their voyage by
more than one-third, in order to res !
ceive payment under the new law
These are only a few out of ' dozens of ;
illustrations that might be given, show- ‘
ing the great advance in speedy ocean
mail service that the new postal meas-
ure will bring about. It will give us
much more rapid, as well as more fre-
quent, communication with lands that
are far off, and lands that are near, and
by making it profitable to steamship

companies to give the best possible
ocean service it will tend to weed out
slow and incompetent vessels every-
where, and to put on the sea a fleet Of
fast American steamships that will be
an honor to the flag. .

World’s Fair Commission.

CHICAGO, April 6.—At Saturday‘s session
of the national commission, the resolution
providing that the bylaw prohibiting mem-
bers of the commission from holding posi—
tions in the \Vorld’s fair be repealed was
passed by a vote of 30 to 14. The report of
the judiciary committee that the bylaws
be amended so as to make the salaries of
the president, vice president and secretary
of the commission $5,000 each, to take ef-
fect July 1, was adopted after a short but
rather warm discussion. An attack was
then made upon Phoebe Cmizins, the sec-
retary Of the woman '5 board, by several of
the commissioners, who claimed that there
was no need for her position. This had no
effect upon the majority of the commis-
sioners, however, as the resolution fixing
Mrs. Palmer’s salary at $5,000 and Miss
Couzins’ at $3.000 per annum after May 1,
1891, was passed, and the commission ad-
journed to meet again next September.

To Build a New Road.

ALBANY, April 6.—A dispatch from Cha~
teaugay says: “Vice President \Vebb, of
the Central Hudson road, who has been
prospecting in this region, has agreed to
build a railroad from Malone through the
Adirondacks between the Saranac lake
south to a point 011 the Central between
Schenectedy and llcrkiiner, provided
Franklin county gives $30,000. He also
agrees that a road from Malone to Saranac
lake shall be in operation by July 1, 1891.”
The Adirondack and St. Lawrence charter
will be utilized and connection made at
Malone with the line to Valley Field, giv-
inga continuous line from Montreal to
New York over these roads. Malone will
raise the money and the road is assured.

A Strike Settled.

BOSTOX, April 6. —The electrotypers’
strike, which has been on since Feb. 25,
has been satisfactorily settled, and by Mon-
day morning every union electrotyper will
be in his old place. Neither the officers of
the union nor the employers will say on
what terms the men return to work, but
from other sources it is learned that the
union will maintain its apprentice laws,
and the employers have promised to make
satisfactory arrangements in regard to
wages.

The Company Held Responsible.

ROCHESTER, N. Y., April 6.—The cor—
oner in the case Of John Cooney, killed at
the East Rochester yards Thursday night,
brought in a verdict finding that deceased
came to his death by having his foot
caught in the guard rail in the East
Rochester road of the New York Central
railroad. The jury held the company
directly responsible for the death in not
having the guard rails properly blocked.

 

Rumored Cabinet Changes.

OTTAWA, April 6.-—Rumors are rife in
this city of an impending change in' the
cabinet. The rumors couple the name of
Sir Alexander Gait with the portfolio now
held by Mr. Colby. It was also mooted
that he would be sent to Washington as
one of the imperial commissioners to nego-
tiate for reciprocity with the United States,
but this is not credited.

Hamilton Turned Out of Office.

BIDDEFORD, Me, April 6.—The governor
and council met at Augulta Saturday and
voted to remove Judge Charles S. Hamil-
ton, Of this city, on charges of drunken-
ness and immorality. Judge Hamilton
has turned over the Biddeford court
docket and other records to Recorder Ed-
win J. Cram, who will Ofiiciate until the
vacancy is filled.

NEW YORK, April 6._—The annual con-
vention of the the National Lacrosse asso-
ciation was held Saturday. The team of
the Manhattan Athletic club was admitted

 

to membership and that of the New York,

FUNERALQLSTRIKERS

TWO MORE DIE 0r INJURIES

Scenes‘of Sorrow Along the Line to the
Cemetery—Labor Leaders Counsel
Peace, but More Trouble Is
Feared Before Long.

SCOTTDALE, Pa, April 6.—’l‘wo more men
died Saturday from injuries received at
Morewood Thursday morning. They are
Paul Salinsky, Of Donnelly’s, and Joseph
Klasman, of Mullin’s. The report of their
death sent a thrill of excitement through
the region and gave rise to rumors of
bloodshed and violence. There were re-
ports frcm all points of the region an~
nouncing gatherings of strikers, but no
violence has been reported up to 9 O’clock.

~The Funeral Procession.

Saturday afternoon the Standard band,
of Mount Pleasant, led the procession from
the Catholic church in Mount Pleasant to
the Pennsylvania railroad station escort-
ing the bodies of the Morewood victims.
There were five coaches in the train and all
were filled with friends and sympathizers
of the dead. They arrived at Scottdale at
3:30 o’clock in the afternoon and were met
by the Everson band, the Jefferson as-
sembly N o. 245 and about 5,000 people.
The Rev. Father Lambing had sent a. re
quest to all of the licensed saloon keepers
to close their bars at 2:30 o’clock, and in
response to his request every saloon in
town was closed when the strikers began
to assemble to greet the funeral train.

Awaiting the Train.

It had been snowing heavily since noon
and for three hours and a half the densely
packed crOwds stood aro'und the depot pa-
tiently waiting for the arrival of the funer-
al train. Ninety out of every hundred were
foreigners and were unable to speak the
English language, while at least one~hali
of them wore emblems of mourning, to

denote their sorrow over the death of their '

fellow workers at the hands Of the deputy
sheriffs. They were very quiet, scarcely a
word was spoken, and when they did ad-‘
dress each other it was in subdued and
awe stricken voices.

It was a scene never to be forgotten. The
falling snow, the depot, the muddy streets
filled with men pregnant with subdued
excitement, while 100 yards away up the
track toward Mount Pleasant were five
companies of the Eighteenth regiment,
under Colonel M. N. Smith. They had
pulled into Scottdale early in the morning,
and were given orders to suppress all dis-
turbances and preserve the peace at any
cost. The whole formed a picture of the
most intense interest.

The March to the Cemetery.

Proceeding from the depot thé"funeral
procession marched down the valley to the
Catholic cemetery, where the remains of
the dead were buried with the religious
ceremonies of the Catholic church. After
the funeral the vast crowd assembled on
the Everson flats, and Peter W'ise, district
master workman Of the Knights Of Labor,
called the meeting to order. Robert
\Vatchorn, ex—secretary of the United
Mine Workers. was the first to address the
crowd. He advised peace, and said that
the law was the only course for the strik-
ers as well as for the operators. He de-
plored the tragedy at Morewood Thursday
morning, and said that people who were
so irresponsible as the deputies proved to
he were not fit to go to heaven.

The other speakers were Patrick
McBride, of the executive committee;
Vice President Penna, of the United Iron
Workers; Parker, secretary and treasurer,
and ‘several others. They all coincided
with Mr. VVat-chorn in their expressions of
peace. Meetings were also held today at
Overton and Stanfier, which were ad-
dressed by well known local leaders.

.More Trouble Anticipated.

Notwithstanding the fact that all Of the
leaders counsel peace it is generally-be-
lieved that there will be trouble in the
region within the next two or three days.
Mr. Vv'atchorn was very indignant over
the reports in the Pittsburg papers of an
interview with H. C. Frick in which the
latter charged the labor leaders with being
responsible forthe present troubles in the
coke region. Mr. Watchorn says that he
will have affidavits by Monday to show
that H. C. Frick paid for the passage of
workmen from Europe to America, and
that many of these men were forced to go
down into the mines at the muzzles of re-
volvers and rifles, where they were com-
pelled to stay until such time as Mr. Frick
saw fit to liberate them.

Visited by Masked Men.

A sensation was caused here when four
men, heavily masked and armed, entered
the electric light plant and asked one of
the men on duty if that was the office of
H. C. Frick & Co. When he replied in the
negative the men stated that they intend-
ed to burn Frick’s office. They left the
electric plant, disappeared in the crowd
and have not since been seen.

It is believed that a great deal of Frick’s
property will be destroyed before Tuesday,
and as the men have been urged by their
leaders to hold out, it is not believed that
the strike will be settled during the next
two weeks at least.

The men are more sullen and ugly than
at any time since the trouble commenced,
and unless some arrangement satisfactory
to all parties is soon made a loss of life
and property, in comparison to which the
loss that has so far been experienced, will
be trifling. _

The feelings of the strikers over the occur-
rence at Morewood are still much pent up,
and the action of General Wiley in putting
this town under military rule Saturday is
receiving many favorable comments.

Monunlents for the Victims.

It is said that the labor organizations
will at the termination of the strike urge
the purchase and erection of monuments
in memory of the dead men.

No More Troops Ordered Out.

HARRISBURG, April 6.—Gover_nor Patti-
son denied that the First regiment had
been ordered to the scene of the coke re-
gions trouble. He said, “All is quiet and
no more troops have been ordered out.”

The follow ing telegrams were received
by Governor l’urtisonz '
