that your body cannot, divert the money

Nw Yobk. The plan of reorganiza

been submitted by the reorganization
committee. The plan contemplates a
foreclosure either under the general
mortgage dated October 15, 1889, or un
der the second mortgage dated May 1,
1802, securing the so-called Atlantic and
Pacific, and the formation by the pur-
chnnera at unch a&la of n new mmninr.

the same lien and to be the same in

pany will create an issue of fifty-year

amount of such income bonds shall be

bonds shall be entitled to 6 per cent br

COOPERS STBIKM.
Chicago Packing Bonaee May he Com
pelled to Shut Down.
Ciucaoo, Tit,. Nearly all the cooper
in the stock yards are on a strike. It is
said that if the trouble is not speedily
settled the result will be that some of
the big houses will be forced to lay off
their employes because of the scarcity
of barrels. When the strike took place
the houses were nearly all running at
full capacity. The packer say it was
necessary for them to make a reduction
in wages. This as done three month
ago, and waa general iu the yard. The
coopers were not the only one who suf
fered, all the other branches of the
packing industry being affected alike.
The coopers say thoir wagea were cut
from (2.85 and (3.50 a day to (2 50 and
(3.30. The reason they did not object at
the time was that they thought the cut
waa only temporary, and that wage
would be restored as soon as warm
weat her came. It is to enforce a restora
tion that they struck, and they say that
they will remain out until every
the stock yard ia out.

SUNDAY IN THB ARMT.
It Is a Day of Rett ao Far aa th Service
Will Permit.
. Washington, D. C. A story coming
from Omaha, Neb., that Charles Ceder-
quis, a private in the Second Cavalry, is
under arrest waiting court-martial for
refusal to participate in the target prac
tice Sunday, met a very prompt denial
at the War Department. The officers
say the man has undoubtedly assigned
a false reason for bis arrest, aa Sunday
target practice is unheard of in the army,
and it would decidedly be iu violation of
army regulations. The United States
soldier has always been exempt from
any unnecessary toil on Sunday, and in
that respect has much the advantage of
European soldiers. Even in time of war
this rule ha been observed whenever
practicable, and during the late civil war
i'resident Lincoln, quoting tne word oi
watmngton, made a general order en
ioining observance of Sunday on the of
ficers and men of the army, and the
spirit oi una order sua pervade the
service.
Conn of Tenement.
Nw Yobk. The tenement-house cen
sus, taken nnder direction of the Board
of Health during the past two months,
has been completed. The census shows
there are 30,133 tenement houses in the
twenty-four wards of this city, of which
number 2,346 are rear house. The pop
ulation of the tenement-house district is
1,332.773, of which 180,309 are children
less than five years of age. Rear houses
contain no less than 50,130 persons, in
cluding 8,784 children under five years,
who must exist with little or no chance
for sunlight or fosh air. The Twelfth
Ward is the most densely populated,
there being 252.331 persons packed - in
7,702 houses, of which seventeen are rear
tenements. The greatest number of rear
tenement bouses was found in the Twen
tieth Ward, there being 341 out of a to
tal of 2.830 in the ward. The ward has
a tenement-house population of 80,499,
including 8.121 children under five years
of age, while the population of the rear
houses is 6,977, including 651 children
nnder five years of age.
A certainty of having the milk of fifty
cows and the promise of 300 later on if
the venture is a success is not enough to
start a creamery or cheese factory on. It
would be difficult to make it a success
with that number of cows and to pay
fair wage to a skillful butter or cheese
maker. Nor can a encceas be made by
hiring cheap or unskilled labor. Three
hundred cow should be had at first, un
less some one desires to run it a season
as an experiment or to learn th busi
naaa and would work at low wage.

tion of irregularities at the Carnegie
works. Craig's evidence waa much like
that recently given by Sill and corrob
orative of it, lie testified that he made
reports of the work on armor plates
from the workmen's slate giving the
actual work done. The reports were
submitted to Superintendent Kline,
who changed them to bring the work
within the government contract. The
altered reports were then furnished to
the government officers. Craig gave
from U note book a list of platea which
had been doctored after they had been
turned over to the government as test
plates. He gave details of the retreat
ment of each plate. Many of them
were retreated after the government had
rejected them. He testified that he
had been instructed by Superintendent
Kline to bum the original records
showing the real work done. Craig said
that while assistant heater he observed
much surreptitious work on the plates.
He gave the technical details of these ir
regularities. This waa done without the
knowledge of the Government offirwra.
and waa to deceive them. The capacity
of the Carnegie works waa not sufficient
to do the work properly. He had heard
Kline complain to Assistant Manager

A LONDON SENSATION.
Diamond Stocks Among the
Rothschilds Securities.
PREMIER RHODES' DECLARATION
a Claim Tbnt Secretary Carll.to Prom
ised That the Senate Woald Modify
the High Duty Fat oa Diamonds In
the Wllaoa Tariff Blil. .
Londok. Senator Teller's proposed
high tariff on diamonds is causing a sen
sation here, where the Rothschilds have
recently bonded four and s half millions
sterling (nearly 120,000,000) of bonds for
the South American Diamond Trust.
Besides these bonds the Rothschilds are
known to be very largely interested in
the stocks of the Diamond Trust. The
proposed high tariff would produce a
great fall in the value of the immense
stock of unsold diamonds on hand and
greatly reduce the dividends to holders
of the trust's stocks, which for years
past haa been 25 per cent. A cable re
ceived by the officials of the trust from
Premier Rhodes of Cape Colony, it ia
stated, declare that Secretary Carlisle
promised last March that the Senate
would moony tne duty put on diamond
when the Wilson bill passed the House.
Teller's amendment increasing the duty
to 30 per cent ia regarded a a blow
aimed by the leader of the American
j free-silver men at the Rothschilds, the
leading banker in Europe, who have
I done so much to maintain the single
I oold mnnetnrr standard. The Colorado
Senator and ex-Speaker Reed have con
sidered various forma ef discriminating
duties against those countries wnicn op
pose an international agreement for free
use ot silver.
