THEIR WAOB9 TO MAKE DIVIDENDS
Coal Advances to a Figure Which
Greatly Increase ' Cost of
Manufactures.
New Yobk, April 26. The Herald de
votes a page today to the Beading com
bination. This is its doable-leaded sum
mary of the matter: . "The combination
has been in active existence three weeks.
In the great Lehigh valley coal region it
has thrown 60,000 men out of employ
ment half of the time. In the flourishing
cities of the lower valley it has deprived
12,000 workmen of half their employment
nd saved from their wages $75,000. Its
.restriction of coal products is asurefore
runnerpf a coming advance in coal prices,
which is to increase the cost of manufac
turing in all the eastern states; the price
of manufactures for the whole country
and thecoet of living for the people of
New York. The only cause for all this
disturbance of business and misfortune
to the people is an attempt to make an
unprofitable railroad pay excessive divi
dends for two other railroads which itl
has no right to possess."

Another Seattle Adventure.
Seattle, April 25. Frank Lee, four
months old, died in a mysterious way
yesterday, and the coroner will be called
upon to settle the cause of the infant';
taking off. His mother is a handsome
woman, and some time ago, under an
assumed name, she advertised for and
secured a baby. Shortly after, she sued
R. L. Leslie, a prominent mining man
for seduction under the promise of mar
riage. He induced her to withdraw the
suit by many soft promises, but, failing
to keep them, she sued him again for
$10,000, claiming that she had borne a
boy child to him. The woman claims
that the physician who attended her
will swear that she is the mother of the
fbabe, but the doctor keeps a Btill tongtie,
And will not talk. JSow the babv is
-dead, and shortly Mrs. Lea's damage
:uit will come up for trial.
For Americans Only.
Washington, ' April 25. Secretary
"Tracy recently had his attention called
to the fact that civilians are employed
in the Navy yards who are not citizens
of the United States. He thereupon is-
sued an order that none but American
citizens be so employed hereafter, and
that aliens already in the service of the
navy department must become citizens
or get out.' The Association of American
Draughtsmen is engaged in preparing a
record showing the nationality of the
draughtsmen at the various government
institutions. When it is completed it
will be shown the department authorities
at Washington in order that steps may
be taken to make the force strictly
American.
Hie New Italian Rifles.
London, April 25. A Rome correS'
pondent of the Timet says a great Ger
man authority has assured him that the
new Italian rifle is the best, yet intro
duced, being superior to the Lebel, Man
ser or Mannlichen weapon, and that the
Italian army authorities, conscious of
this fact, are determined to go on manu
facturing the rifle, whatever sacrifice
will be entailed, even the abandonment
of the African colony. The correspond
ent also says Signor Nicotera is dissolv
ing his force in the cabinet, and Rudini
fears to dispense with him lest he 'drive
him into the ranks of the opposition,
JNicotera is a clever politician, and is
ambitious to lead the cabinet, and must
be ousted before a settled government is
possible. . -
Against the Sugar Trust.
Philadelphia, April 25. Another se
ries of attacks against trusts by United
States authorities are expected before
long. G. M. Horiton, the newly-ap
pointed agent of the department of jus
tice, whose special duty it is to investi
gate illegal combines, has been in the
city gathering information. It is under
stood that the special object of his visit
is to collect evidence against the sugar
trust and the National cordage trust.
. Change of Time.
Portland,' April 26. The Union
Pacific railroad will on Sunday issue a
new time-card. The time of nearly all
the local trains will be affected and some
important changes will be made. The
morning train will arrive at 7 :30 instead
of 9 o'clock, and the evening train will
arrive at 9 o'clock instead of 10 :45 as at
present. The. time of departure of the
evening train remains unchanged, but
the morning train leaves forty-fivei' min
utes later, at"8j45 insteadof 8. o'clock. -

KAVACHOL9 TRIAL THE PRJETEXT,
Urges the Working People to Seize tbe
Factories and Workshops-:
Other News.
Paeis, April 25. L'Eclair publishes a
text of the anarchist proclamation, se
cretly printed with a view to influencing
the municipal election, which will be
held May 1st. ' This is a violent mani
festo, advocating the neutrality in elec
tions, which are denounced as the bour
geois farce. "Remember,'' the mani
lesto says, " by going to the polls you
imitate sheep going to the shambles
Be men, and learn to do without rulers
and governments ; that is to say, masters
and oppressors. Then, and then only,
on the ruins of a horrible and monstrous
past, whose sole basis and rule was an
idiotic struggle lor existence, you may
lay the foundation of an organization for
the future, resting entirely on the agree
ment of a free, harmonious integral life
Principles of equality, liberty and jus
tice will then not long be vain formulas,
and by anarchy, without God or master,
all may freely produce according to their
own strength, while amply consuming
according to their wants." It further
urges the working people to seize the
workshops, factories, -warehouses, and
commence a social revolution . The trial
of Anarchist Eavachol begins tomorrow,
The rush for tickets of admission to the
courthouse has been somewhat damp
ened by the threat of the socialists that
they will not allow any sentence against
him to be carried out. It is feared that
one of them may gain admission to ?the
court, to throw a bomb at the judge.
Yesterday the restaurant of M. Very,
who on March 30th delivered Eavachol,
the anarchist, into the hands of police,
was utterly wrecked by a bomb explosion
Very was killed, and his grand-daughter,
and two other" ladies, injured. Very's
wife lost her senses by the shock. It is
the general opinion that the explosion
was perpetrated mainly to terrorize the
jurymen who will be on duty at the
Bavachol trial. Three persons were
arrested, and one of them shouted "Vive
ranarchie" on being taken into custody,
Cause for Divorce.
Atlanta, Ga., April 25. Mrs. Porter
Stocks has filed a petition for a divorce
from her husband, a nephew of the
noted revivalist Sam P. Jones. They
have been married some years.. She is
tne aaugner ot z. A. Kice, ana had a
dowry of $20,000. She was spending the
winter in Florida, when she was pros
trated by learning that her husband had
killed Alfred Cassin. Her mother-in-
law went to see her ; so did her own
brother and siBter. It was only through
her money that competent legal counsel
could be retained to defend Stocks. Her
reply is not an offer of money, but a suit
for absolute divorce, cruel treatment be
ing the cause assigned. Stocks is in
jail.
A Panic Averted.
Chicago, April 24. Just as the Bee
Hive drygoods house opened for business
yesterday, a fire started near the main
entrance, cutting of the escape 250 sales
women. A panic was narrowly averted,
and the DromDt work of the firemen
quenched the flames. Loss $5,000.
Panic at a Fire.
Ashland, Wis., April 24. The Amer
ican house was partly destroyed by fire
at midnight. ' There was a panic among
guests, and several narrowly escaped
with their lives. A number were badlv
njured by jumping from the windows.
Milwaukee, Wis., April 27. The
members of the Milwaukee Ministers' as
sociation feel Chat there is a good deal to
explain relative to runaway marriages
and they are going to prepare an expla
nation for the public. A committee for
this purpose . has been appointed con
sisting of Rev. A. A. Kiehle, Rev. Henry
Noebren, Rev. M. B. Ryan, Rev. - W. P.
Hellings and Rev. M. M. Parkhurst to
draw up a petition to the legislature
asking the passage of a more 'stringent
marriage law and also to prepare an ad
dress to the public explaining the atti
tude of the ministers on the runaway
marriage question. Rev. Mr. Parkhurst
has been looking into the matter from
the hackman's standpoint. The hack-
man, he said, hrst located ministers as
near the railway station as possible and
ascertained what hours they could usu
ally be found in. Next he found out
whether the minister asked too many
searching -'questions from runaway
couples, and lastly he made sure the
minister would make a division of the
marriage fees. It this was all satisfac
tory tne nacKman then became a regu
lar runner for that particular minister
and took all his trade to him. Mr.
Parkhurst confessed that he saw noth
ing especially reprehensible in this on
the part of the hackman. If there was
any blame it rested with the ministers
who were lax and who were sometimes
overzealous in uniting runaway couples
in the holy bands of matrimony. Sev
eral ministers differ with the Rev. Mr,
Parkhurst. They took the ground that
the ministers were doing all that could
be expected of them and that the fault
lay with the defective state laws. As it
was now justices of the peace could
marry any person, 80 that m case the
ministers refused the parties would sim
ply look up a justice of the . peace. - One
minister suggested the justices were
more particular than some of the minis
ters, but - the sentiment was coughed
down. Rev. J. A. Davis, thought there
ought to be more restrictions, and this
was mildly approved. A number of
hackmen were seen but refused to talk
on the subject, saving that there was
nothing in it." "Wre know our busi
ness, seer" said one jehu. "We do. the
hauling, say nothing and saw wood
There's plenty of ministers that want
our trade and. we know it. All they
want is for us fellows to say nothing."
I'll tell you how it is," said another
hackman. ''There's a good bit in it for
the hackmen and for the ministers, too;
More Chicago people come up here to
get spliced than anybody knows of.
They come in on one train, get tied, and
away they go back on the next train
Now, I claim that's a good thing for the
town ; it's foreign capital coming in and
nothing going out. I haul for two min
isters and we get along pretty well to
gether. We used to take these (moon
shine) couples to the hotels, but now we
deliver the goods direct. I guess the
ministers won't hurt themselves trying
to have any new marriage law passed
The Seattle Conspiracy.
Seattle, April 25. Mrs. Radloff, who
is nowin jail, is getting very loquacious,
and is beginning somewhat to enjoy her
unenviable notoriety. She has gotten
over her first flight, and says she is glad
her husband has not yet been captured.
The principal detective in the case ig
out of town, and the general impression
is that he has a clue to the whereabouts
of the missing man. Kostrauch and
Mrs. Radloff both deny the existence of
any but business relations between
them. . The insurance men are putting
up big money for the capture of Radloff,
the live corpse.
-' Nationalists for Free Coinage. -Boston,
April 25. The Second Nation
alist club has adopted the following:
Resolved, That until such time as the
demonetizing of both gold and silver
shall be accomplished through the
nationalization of the money function,
the Second Nationalist club of Boston
declares itself in favor of free coinage of
silver as a just re-establishment of our
former equitable financial system ; and
that we declare it to be a false represen
tation of the public press that there is no
sentiment in Massachusetts in favor of
the free coinage of silver."

IMlOTECr OF TBI PARIS POLICE,
Beginning Early.
Washington, April 27. In order to
avoid the unpleasantness of March 4th,
as heretofore, the committee on public
buildings and grounds have been in'
structed to enquire into the practibility
of providing sufficient shelter east of the
capitol for the protection of persons who
may take part in the inaugural ceremon
ies. The "savage weather" of past years
has endangered many lives on such oc
casions, and this move is quite commend
able. The idea is for a temporary struc
ture with a water tight roof large enough
to shelter the entire crowd. - It could be
arranged without great expense.
College Political Forecast.
Cambridge, Mass., April 25. Under
tbe auspices of Harvard Union, a na
tional convention will be held in San
ders' theater Friday evening, to nomi
nate candidates for political parties for
the presidency of the United States.
Prominent college men of all political
parties will participate, and the event
promises to be more successful even than
the Yale debate. So much has been
said of the political preferences of Har
vard that the result of next Friday's
vote for candidates will be awaited with
interest. The affair will be conducted
precisely the same manner as the
great conventions that are to meet at
Minneapolis and Chicago.

Pakis, April 27. People in Paris
panic stricken at the audacity of
anarchists. The feeling of fear
heightened by the apparent ira potency
of the police to prevent the anarchists
from committing outrages, when and
where they please. So strong is the
feeling of fear thaf many residents of the
city and foreign visitors are leaving or
making very hurried preparations to
leave. After the explosion of the bomb
in Very's restaurant, which shattered
the building, nearly killed the pro
prietor, and did other damages, an ex
cited crowd, sometimes numbering 20,-
000, .filled the streets and surrounded the
wreck. The affair was discussed in loud
and angry voices, and everybody joined
in condemning the outrage, for which no
excuse is offered. Herot, the waiter in
Very's retaurant, who informed the
police of Ravachol's habit of dining
there, received an anonymous letter yes
terday, in which it was said: "If
Ravachol is condemned tomorrow, re-
member that at the same hour you will
be attacked by the engines of our ven
geance." A dynamite cartridge found
last night under the staircase of the
house in Rue' d'Engheim was analyzed
and found to contain a kilogram of
dynamite and a kilogram of sebastine,
Tbe Trial of KaTacbol.
Paeis, April 26. The trial o'f Rava
cnoi today Having peen the cause of so
many bold threats on the part of his
anarchist friends that 'they would at
tempt some desperate act, admission to
the court was severely restricted. When
the judge entered he at once summoned
the jury, who presented a greatly diS'
turbed appearance. The threats of the
friends of the prisoner evidently greatly
frightened the jurors, and the journal
ists present expressed the opinion that
it would require very strong evidence to
force them to render a verdict of guilty
in the face of the threats of death made
against them if they decide against the
prisoner. Ravachol told the story of his
crimes, in a nonchalent manner, admit
ting his guilt, and taking upon himself
all responsibility, concluding by saying :
"I wish to see anarchy established and
the whole people live as one great fam
ily, each member ready to share what
he has with his brethren. I committed
these outrages in order to draw the at
tention of the public to the needs of
anarchists." .
Tbe Sentence.
Paris, April 27. The two anarchists,
Ravachol and Simon, were sentenced to
penal servitude for life. The others
were acquitted.
Held Up in Chicago.
Chicago, April 26. Sunday afternoon
Joseph Ward arrived from Oakland,
Cal., with $800 in his pocket. He spent
the afternoon and night drinking in a
State street saloon, toward morning
three saloon hansrera-on held him ud
and robbed him of $750. His assailants
were arrested.
An Editorial Oases.
Los Angeles, April 26. Governor
Markham today tendered the appoint
ment of delegate to the national Nica

on June 2d, to Hon J. D. Lynch, editor
of the Herald of this city. Mr. Lynch
has accepted. --
San Fbancibco, April 2?. Yesterday
there were twelve vessels in port under
engagement for wheat j etc., to Europe,
and four of them had charters for a new
crop loading. All but four were iron
ships; and the entire list included only
one American vessel. Each has Conti
nental options. 'Vessels are now seldom
being chartered for a direct port, though
occasionally a charter calls for such op
tion. Rates of vessels already chartered
for a new crop loading range from 28s 9d
to' 32s 9d, one having accepted the first
named, two the latter and one 30s. Total
amount of tonnage under the engage
ment was 21,500 tons, against 48,100 tons
on correspondeng date last year. There
were in port yesterday fifty-eight disen
gaged vessels, having an aggregate ton
nage of 102,700 tons, as against only
5,600 tons a year ago. Yesterday's list
comprised forty-four' British vessels,
thirteen American and one'Nicaraguan.
Disengaged vessels are located at various
points. Of the disengaged vessels the
British iron ship Andrada has been the
longest in port, having arrived Septem
ber 22, 1891. Forty-three of the disen
gaged vessels are iron. The inward coal
fleet contributed thirty-seven of the fif
ty-eight vessels now disengaged. At
neighboring ports there were fourteen
chartered or disengaged vessels, repre
senting 17,900 tons of tonnage, against
19,000 tons on the same date last year.
Under the head of miscellaneous charters
were eight vessels, two of which load
lumber for England, one takes lumber to
Sydney, two go to New York with gen
eral cargoes, and three others load mer
chandise, one each for Honolulu, Cen
tral America and Melbourne. Total
amount of tonnage of all classes on the
way tcrthis port yesterday was 219,800
tons, against Z73,2UU tons on the corres
ponding date last year. Wheat freights
are nominally quoted at 22s 6d for iron,
for United Kingdom, Havre or Antwerp
Will Work it Throagh-
Washington-, April 27. The indomit
able energy of Senator Mitchell, in the
interest of an open Columbia river, was
again evidenced yesterday, when be pro-,
posed an amen-iiaent to the river and
harbor bill which appropriates nearly
13,000,000 to construct a boat railway at
the dalles and Celilo falls and the Tyi
Mile rapids of the Columbia, The
amendment provides for the necessary
marine apparatus for . the purpose of
transferring the boats and thefr cargoes
across the obstructions at these places.
The appropriation is to cover the whole
cost of the proposed improvement. - It is
thought the - committee of conference
will agree to the amendment. -
The Kanm InTestigation.
Washington, April 26. In the pen
sion investigation this morning an ex
citing scene occurred. Raum denied the
truth of some statements made by
Enloe, chairman of the committee. The
latter sprang to bis feet with the ex
clamation, "You are a lair !" and rushed
at the commissioner. Members inter
fered and prevented Enloe from getting
at Raum. The latter finally left the
room and the committee adjourned.

The Paris Police.
fAitis, April 28. flow that the press
have taken up the subject perhaps there
will soon be a long felt want supplied in
Paris by the correction of evils and sub
stituting of a police that knows its- busi
ness. Tbe fearless conduct of Beaupaire,
the public prosecutor, was warmly, com'
mended. La Justice says a radical or
ganization of some foolish minds is al
ready proposing absurd steps, some go
ing so far as to argue that the govern'
ment should declare a state of siege
The proposals made by these persons,
La Justice declares, would prove a sorry
remedy as it would only aggravate the
evils. The concilitory tone of Judge Gues,
who presided at the trial, and his exces
sive indulgence to tbe anarchists is
severely condemned. It is suggested
that the Ravachol jury took their cue
from the judge.
Haof Them Collectively
Paris, April 28. "Nobody doubts but
that the jury in the Ravachol case, were
terrorized ; but, what can you do, when
the murderous wretches of anarchists
are permitted to do the terrorizing and
receive no just, or adequate punish
ment?" Such is the sentiment of for
eigners in Paris, and to this is traced the
present panic, which it appears is liable
to become worse before it is better,
Louise Michel and Henri Rochefort
have been interviewed. They declare
their belief that no explosion or discord
ance will occur in Paris on May day.
There may be such things, however, in
the provinces, where the agents and
procurateurs have a better chance.
Michel declares that Ravachol is not the
agent of the procurateur-general.
Louise's belief is that he is a vulgar
criminal, representing no society. -
Shoot Then Apologise.
Niw York, April 28. United States
Consul P. C. Hanna, of La Guayra,
Venezuela, is something of a hero now
amongst the natives. It appears that
on the night of the 20th he was fired up
on by policemen in the streets at 9: 30
clock. The bullet whizzed unpleas
antly close to the consul, but did not hit
him. .Mr. Hanna pounced upon the
policeman, . demanding what the shot
meant. When the crazy fool saw whom
he had fired upon, he was greatly
concerted and begged for mercy,
the following day the American consu
late was besieged by government officials
anxious to apologize for the unfortun
ate incident. .Mr. Hanna assured the
officials that he looked upon the affair
as a mistake and bore the unfortunate
policeman no ill-will. .'
ft
Ottawa, April 27. A. C. Bertram of
North Sydney, Cape Breton, owner of
a fleet of Nova Scotian sealing schooners
now on the way to Behring sea, had an
interview with Sir Charles Tupper, min
ister of marine and fisheries, yesterday,
respecting the recent proclamation of
the modus vivendi. He 'made strong
representations to Tupper, of the losses
which the restriction of seal-takins will
cause him.' From the harbor of ibrth
Sydney alone seven sealing schooners
are' now on the way round Cape Horn,
bound for Behring sea. Bertram says
the modus vivendi will bear so hard on
Nova Scotian owners of pealing schoon
ers that almost the best thing that could
happen to them would be to have their
vessels driven ashore by a storm, so long
as tbe crews were not lost. In that case
they would have the insurance. Tupper
is considered, in the parlance of slang,
n. g., by the adventurows Nova Scotian,
because he is unable to hold out any
ver great ' hope ' for the prospects of
poachers who take their schooners away
around North and South American fish
ing grounds, to reach contraband seals in -Behring
sea.
May as Well Push it.
Chicago, April 28. Failure to settle,
and the defiant attitude of some com
panies, has compelled the state railroad
commission to bring suit against the
Southern Pacific railway to recover the
penalty prescribed for the violation of
the commission's law in charging greater
rates on wool shipments than those
fixed by the commission. A suit will
also be brought by the state to compel
thsMissouri, Kansas and Texas railway
to establish a main office in the state,
the office at Dennison not being regarded
as the principal office according to the
requirements of the law.
First Stone Laid.
New Yobk, April 28. President Har
rison used a gold trowel to lay the first
stone yesterday of the great mausoleum
which is to perpetuate the memory of
Gen. Grant in Riverside Park, in the
presence of the cabinet and thousands
of citizens. The weather was fine, the
ceremonies impressive. It was no mili
tary display, only a few army peers,
and those belonged to the troop which
accompanied the president to the park
being present. Chauncey M. Depew,
the orator of the day, delivered ,-n
eloquent oration, dwelling upon the
sterling qualities of the deceased general
and president. In the address was the
following striking passage : "The phe
nomenon of our times and one of the '
chief dangers to law and order is the
groan of our school of despair. Concen
trated contemplation of accumulated
wealth and the hopelessness of acquir
ing it paralyzes industrial energies -4jai
true ambitions, and plants the seeds of
socialism and anarchy. But Lincoln
from the poverty of a Kentucky cabin,
and Grant from the narrow limits of a
log house in an Ohio wilderness, became
central figures and representative heroes '
of the age ; they are types of American
citizenship."
It is expected that the Illinois democ
racy will nominate John P. AUgUd, of
Chicago, for governor.
