New York, April 5.—The'decision of Seth Low, preSIdent of Columbia uni- versity, in the dispute between the’ plumbers' and steamfitters’ unions over die control’ of thermostatic work, in w ich he was selected as umpire, was sent to the board of walking delegates. Mr. Low decided in favor of the plumbers and against the walking del- egates, who have been supporting the . steamfitters and who a month ago or- dered a. strike of 1,500, men on the Co- lumbia university buildings and two public schools nearby to compel the discharge of the plumbers. The result of the strike is that 1,500 men have been idle for a month and the plumb- ers continue to do the work. . ‘ The walking delegates received the decision at a special meeting, and as they had agreed to do, called the strike off. All the men will resume work to- morrow except the steamfitters who are locked out by their employers. Mr. Low’s decision does not affect the lock- out. - , . The decision, which covers Six type- written pages, goes into an exhaustive discussion of the nature of the work and the claims of the rival unions. The decision is based on the fact that while in new buildings only rigid pipes are used, the' manipulation of which might be either steamfitters or gasfit- ters’ work, in old buildings the use of lead pipes is necessary, and for that plumbers must be employed. The claim of neither union, Mr. Low says, can be shown to be absolutely unfoundedfiiut one union, the steamfit- ters’, can do it only under certain con- ditlons and for some of its applications, while the other can do it under all con- ditions and in all its applications. The .work, therefore, he decides, belongs to the latter. There was no improvement in the re- lations of the master steam fitters and their employees. Several firms will re- sume work tomorrow with nonunion men, and the walking delegates will order another series of sympathetic strikes to compel their discharge. The refusal of the walking delegates to accept the master steam fitters’ con- cession, transmitted to them by .Mr. Low on Friday, seems to have ended all hope of a peaceful settlement of that trouble. The master steam fitters made no reply yesterday to the counter prop- osition of the walking delegates that they take back their men on the old terms and arbitrate their differences afterward under the 01d agreement. The fight, between the Mason Build- ers’ association and the board of walk- ing delegates is slowly drawing to a head. The walking delegates issued a statement, accusing the builders of bad faith in seeking to establish permanent arbitration boards in each trade. They declare that the mason builders rejected a similar proposition made by them six months ago. The mason build- ers point out that the walking delegates’ plan did not provide for the abolition of sympathetic strikes and declare 'that they will arbitrate only with the unions of each trade and not with the walking delegates. The committee of the Mason Builders’ association which is charged with the work of consolidating all the employ- ers’ organizations reports that it is pro- gressing favorably and will probably call a general meeting of employers this week. 5st Melton’s Condition Critical.

How Two Black Rascals Turned Thcii Knowledge to Good Account. . Near one of the gates at the Uni-on Station as the long train from Chicagc rolled in the other night stood an olc’ colored man. He was bent undei Time’s burden, and it was easy to im agine that he was one of those relics of the South; one of those picturesque characters of old plantation life thal now live only in the memory. The great engine was panting aftei its long run, and amid the bustle and confusion of the station the old man seemed bewildered. Then, as the pas- sengers came through the gate, the) saw a little act of kindness thai touched a tender chord of sympathy in more than one heart. Another colored man, who looked as if he might be a porter, stepped up and slipped a quarter in the old man’s hand. Then he quickly made his way off again, looking half-ashamed at his‘ action. . The old man stood loo-king at the quarter with a smile on his wrinkled old face, and the next man placed another silver piece in his h'and. The other passengers followed suit, and the ,old but had to ‘come off to hold the shower of coin. P Just then. the policeman on duty at the station saw the old fellow and started toward him, but with more agility than one would have given him credit for, the old man ran in among the crowd and was lost. Five minutes later two men were sit- ting in a saloon in Seventeenth street They were counting over a pile 01 small coins. " “Foah seventy-five, he! he! Golly. gran’dad, didn’t I tell yer it’d fetch ’em? ’Pears lak all yer had ter do win ter kinder mek der white folks ’shamed lak and dey jes’ scramel ovah demselves ter gev a pore ole mar money.

A queer state ofiaffairs prevails in Brest, France, all growing out of the high theater hat. The women who at- tend theaters iu that city refused to remove their headgear in response to popular demand, but instead kept on increasing the size of their hats until the men, in desperation, began to take to the theaterwhenever they went large cushions. When one found his seat to be located behind an altitudi- nous but he would place the cushion on his seat and sit upon it. This enab- lL-tl him to see over the hat, but woe to those who happened to be behind him. Their view of the stage was com- pletely cut off. This practice has re- sulted in so much disorder, on account of the proverbial hot temper of the French, that the theatrical managers zliorities.—Detroit Free Press. ‘4 ‘3- For Tliree Years He Suffered —— Could Hardy Breathe at Night—One Nostril Closed for Ten Years. fr.

Washington, April 5.—It has come to the knowledge of the state department that General Julio Sanguilly is now, or was, at Jacksonville, Fla, and that his followers have given out the impression that the general is about to head an expedition to Cuba. Secretary Sherman was asked what the United States gov- ernment would do in case this impres- sion were well founded. In reply he said that he did not bu- lieve Sanguilly would go to Cuba. His reason for this belief was the fact that he (Secretary Sherman) held in his possession a written pledge, made by Sanguilly in return for the exercise of the good offices of this government in securing his release from imprison- ment, not 'to have any connection in any manner with the Cuban troubles. The Spanish government also held a similar pledge, and in addition San— guilly had promised not to return to Cuba without its consent. If Sanguilly violated the obligations he had thus assumed, the department of state, Mr. Sherman said, would not interfere further for his protection, no matter what befell him, and it would have nothing further to 'do with him. The secretary does not believe that General Rivera, Maceo’s successor in command, who was wounded and cap- tured by the Spanish forces and now lies in jail at San Cristobal, will be ex- ecuted. It is undoubtedly true, howev- er, that the threat of the departure of another expedition from Florida under Sanguilly promises to prejudice the efforts that are being made with some show of success to secure Rivera’s par- dcn. MRS. TILTON STRIOKBN. The “'oman “’hosc Husband Accused Beecher Is a. Paralytic. New'York, April 5.-Thr0ugh the fil- ing of a plain uninteresting deed in the register’s office in Brooklyn there came a sad echo ofmthe famous Tilton-Beech— er trial, for through this strange agen- cy it was discovered that Mrs. Tilton has been stricken with paralysis.
