UMOX PACIFIC STRIKE1:
Today.
A GENERAL OKDEK IS ISSUED
It Takes Effect All Along the Company's
Lines Altiina Car-Shops arc
Included.
Chicago, April 17. Special from
Omaha and IVnver state a strike has
been ordered among boiler-makers, pat
tern makers, blacksmiths and moulders
in shops all along the entire line of the
Vniou Pacific system, to take effect at
noon. Trouble bus arisen concerning a
reduction of the standard time fur work
ing days. 1-aet year the company agreed
to so reduce the working force as to per
mit work nine hours a day instead of
eight. The company began violating
the agreement in January, and the men
have been unnhle to brins about a res
toration. Fully 3,000 men ure involved
in the shops at Omahu, Denver, Salt
Lake, Cheyenne, Ogden.'Portland, Kan
sas City, Kawlins, Laramie and round
house points. The men are said to be
thoroughly organized and united. I
Very little of this projiosed strike was
known iii Albina till the noon hour,
when the men walked out of the shops
in as orderly a manner as if nothing out
of the usual way was taking place.
There was not the shadow of a distur
bance or an unnecessary loud word
spoken.
Many of these men have families who
will no doubt suffer should the "walk
out" continue for any length of time.
A feeling of depression prevails in Al-1
bina this afternoon, principally among
The business men, who will materially
Buffer from this state of affairs in various
ways, as their greatest source of trade
comes from the shops.
Superintendent Baxter, who is at
Sj.ukane, has been telegraphed that the
strike is on. The points on the Pacific
division which are affected by the strike
are Portland, The Dalles, Pendleton, La
Grande, Starbuck and Teoka.
At the Albina car shops 50 machinists, I
10 blacksmiths and six boiler-makers
were employed, all of whom have gone
out.
I he Knights of Labor in the Omaha
shops refused to strike, as a bulletin had
been posted by the executive committee
of district assembly Xo. S2, ordering
them to remain at work, as by striking
they would violate their contract. Only
a few Knights are among them.
P ! tor women and children. The city is a
1 scene of utter desolation, ami it is doubt
ful if it ever recovers from the series of
disasters which have recently befallen
AtSnU.000 M811 Qllit WOrt at Nfllllli"- There will be great destitution, and
outside help Is urgently neetieu.
The shock occurred at i :30 A. M.
Most of the buildings that stood erect In
the shock of Kebrurary and March, were
either thrown down or shattered so as
to be unsafe for oeeupHiiey. The church
of St. Wonysius and the government
offices were thrown down. Advices
from the interior show that the whole
island is devastated. Many villages are
destroyed, and It is thought the loss of
life is very great. News of the disaster
conies in very slowly ,as communication
with the interior of the island has been
greatly interrupted by the destruction
of many telegraph lines. The full extent
of the calamity cannot lie estimated at
present. A warship will be dispatched
from Tineus, with clothing and med
icinea for the sufierers. It is pointed
out here that the disaster is a confirma
tiou of the prediction made a few days
a"o by Professor Falb, who predicted
the former earthquake, that disturbances
more serious than the recent ones
would occur April 16 or 17. His pre
diction has proved true, for this morn
iug's shock was the worst that has ever
visited Zante, which is noted for its
earthquakes.

action in the case of a woman of such

but not unexpected in view of the
flagrant offense. The court declined to

of the Bchring sea court of arbitration
James 15. Carter, counsel for the United
States, continued his sieeeh in supjxirt
of the American contention. He reca
pitulated the arguments advanced last

the jurisdiction of the United States had
alwavs been based upon property inter

sea. Carter quoted from the opinions of

against this ukase, but Great Britain
had withdrawn her protest because of

King Alexander is not satisfied to rest
on the laurels of his coup d'etat, but as
a result of investigations the treasury
has demanded from the ex-regents and
ex-ministers reimbursement to the gov
ernment of 2,.iu0,000 francs, misappro
priated under the pretext of having been
used in the secret service.
The general acquiescence, if not the
approval, with which King Alexander's;
coup d etat was hailed is already in
terrupted. The liberals have gathered
courage eince Thursday night, and now
apparently projiose to excite the people
against the government. The liberals
have issued a manifesto in which they
describe the new ministry as usurpers of
political power and as having incited
the king to the coup d'etat in violation
ot the constitution and the laws of Ser
via. The liberals state they make their
stand upon the rights of the people,
which they claim have been outraged
and ignored by the illegal usurpation.

Boisk, April 17. Some time ago E.
W. Hadley, receiver of the Oregon Pa
cific, wrote to Mayor Finney, of Boise,
for maps and otiier information regard
ing this section of the etate. The re
quest was complied with. In a letter
acknowledging the receipt of the docu
ments, 5Ir. Hadley says of the Oregon
Pacific :
"During all its vicissitudes, I don't
think it was ever so near construction
and extension toward the promised land
of Eastern Oregon and Boise as it is at
the present moment, and I feel sure if
we all put our shoulders to the wheel,
w ith a long pull and a pull all together,
we shall 'ere long lie making the dirt fly
in your direction."
The fact that such a statement is made
by the receiver is thought to indicate
that strong parties are preparing to take
hold of the road with a view of pushing
it eastward to a connection with the
Burlington, or some other trunk line.

Bakkb City, Or., April 17. Mrs. J.H.
Parker, wife of the cashier of the First
National Bank of this city, committed
suicide last night by taking an overdose
of morphine. Domestic infelicity was
the cause and the act was no surprise to
the public, but on the other hand a
double tragedy has long been expected.
A policeman broke open the bedroom
door and found the deceased lying on
the floor dead, dressed in her night
clothes. Death had resulted several
hours previous. She threatened to take
her life yesterday morning if her husband
did not return home. He had not been
home for several days. Deceased leaves

the road to ascertain if the company had
decided to annul its existing contracts
with its employes and make no new

this at once, and intimated that unless

Bkcsskm), April 18. The night passed
far more quietly than the authorities ex
pected, though tho outlook is still
threatening. Dispatches from all parts
of the kingdom bring disquieting news.
Disturbances occurred at several places
(luring tho night. In Antwerp today
ttie outlook is more threatening than
yesterday, despite the extra precautions
to preserve order. Two anorchists, who
made themselves particularly prominent
in the agitation, were arrested. The
striking dock -laborers became riotous
this morning, going along the waterside
and driving off the men at work, until
scattered by the police. The ferment
continues in Brussels, the streets are

uueo wun excitea workmen, and a feel
ing of uneasiness prevails. It was the i
intention to hold a demonstration in the
park outside the city today, but a strong
lorce ot troops placed there prevented it.
As soon as the mob dispersed at one
place it gathered at another throughout
the morning, and each time only scat
tered after a fight with the police. A
number were severely wounded. The
sitmtion is still threatening.
Fifteen thousand workmen assembled
in the suburban town of M-ilenbeek to-
uay. lneyhold an enthusiastic meet
ing, at which the speakers declared they
would sacrifice life, if need be, to obtain
suffrage. The authorities did r,t inter
fere. This afternoon some of the more des-
perate strikers eluded the police, and
set fire to a lot of cotton stored on one of
no more contracts with organized labor
as they said, for their own protection.
This agreement was entered into by
all the roads in the United States at

the Railway Age, and the writer proved
from his standpoint that the ruilroads
must combine to defeat the organization
of labor, or, as ho said, to meet organ
