Talon Striking- against Each Other. Nxw Orleans, March 25. The diffi cultv between the different branches of labor employed in the handling of cot- involving In OOo men. had the effect ... . v- n - - T V of paralyzing work in the cotton trade yesterday. The difficulty dates back to last October, and is tne outcome 01 an effort then made to reduce the charges on cotton at this point. At that time all cotton handlers, both white and colored, including employers, belonged to one union, The white men withdrew and formd a new union, excluding the em ployers. The colored men remained in the old organization. Yesterday the new organisAti'M decided, not to handle any cotton which passed through the hands of any of the members of the old organization. Yesterday morning work at all presses where members of the old council were employed was stopped, as weighers, samplers, and classers refused to touch cotton not handled or d rayed by members of the old organization. In other presses where only members of the new council were employed work went on as usual, but cotton could not be stowed On shipboard, inasmuch as it would have to pass through bands of 'longshoremen who belonged to the old council, and screwmen, members of the new council would not receive it from them.

New York, March 27. The World's Washington correspondent says that it is now practically known that there is to be no execution of the retaliatory fishe ries act. A prominent New England man, a high government official, who is well informed about the attitude of the president and cabinet, says the action of congress is looked upon by Cleveland as hasty and impulsive and ridiculously in consistent with the ability of the govern ment to give effect to the aggressive spirit of the act. He says it is apparent from this outcropping, in fact it has been quite manifest all along that the ferocious let-, ter of Secretary Manning and more tem perate but equally firm representations of Secretary Bayard on fisheries outrages, which had much to do with working con gress up to the point of decisive action, were merely a part of a deliberate and preconcerted programme of bluster and buncombe, cooKed up to scare Canadian official into doing something they could not be induced to do by more amicable terms. It is now apparent that the do minion government is not scared and does not propre to recede from its pre vious hostile otition. It is to be expect that American fishermen will be treated more brutally in Canadian ports this summer than they were last year, be cause the dominion officials are irrita ed by the hostility of congress and because they have the support of the home gov ernment.

Sherman and the Pacific Coaat. Washington, March 2i. The depart ure of ex-Senator Warner Miller for the Pacific coast, while ostensibly one of pleasure, is in reality, it is said, to sound the sentiment of Pacific coast republi cans in regard to the next presiden tial nominee.

The Tribune's Washington special says: Among the president's callers yesterday was ex-Sen- Van Wyck of Nebraska, who is finish ing up some private business before re turning home. "Everything points to a combination by the railroads," said Mr Van Wyck, "with a view to making the interstate commerce law as obnoxious as possible to the people. For instance 1 see that the l'ennsylvania road has a! ready announced an increased rate of 20 Et cent, on commutation tickets and the dtimore A Ohio is preparing to follow suit. Then, too, companies throoehoat the west are calling in outstanding tlon and-mile tickets, declaring that the la prohibits their issue. Such an idea never entered the heads of tho frsmers of the bill, and there is nothing either di rectly or indirectly In the law that is ap plicable on the point. These tickets are a great accommodation to mercantile travelers, and their recall by the railroads will not nave a tendency to make many substantial friends for the new statute Hnmaa Cargo Sank.

No Tiding of the Danntle A Stormy Passage Acroe the Atlantic London, March 27. The Coronet ar rived off Queenstown at 11:30 o'clock this morning. Nothing has been seen of the Dauntless. The Coronet passed the winuing point at 12:00 o'clock under a full press of canvass, the wind at that hour being west northwest and fresh. In passing the given line at Roache's point the victorious yacht fired five guns and the time was at once taken bv the secre tary and members of the Royal Cork yacht club; who had been on the lookout for the arrival. The club then hoisted tlie signal announcing the Coronet's ar rival, the various stations answering with their pennants. The wind was blowing hard and the Coronet entered Cork harbor in spanking Btyle, with all sails set and hugging the western shore. rrom the start to the finish the Coronet experienced strong gales, with tremen dous seas. On Tuesday and Wednesday last she hove to for several hours each day and made only ninety miles in forty eight hours. Her average run during the passage varied from 230 to 250 miles a day. Ot'EENSTOwN, March 27. The Coronet arrived at 12:41 p.m.. The apparent time occupied was 14 days, 23 hours, 34 minutes, and 40 seconds.

The longest day's run was 291.5 miles, made en Saturday, March 26, and shortest 38.8 miles, made on Tuesday, March 22. .The weather was uncommonly stormy, even for this season of the year. No less (than seven heavy gales contributed to keep the sea in a fer ment for eleven davs of the trip, and for two days the weather was so severe as to make it a question of the yacht s living through them somewhat doubtful. She behaved splendidly, however, in all sorts of weather, and proved herself one of the staunchest, if not one of the fastest, vessels of her size afloat, bo accidents happened to any of the sailors, despite the great risks they were compelled to undertake at times. With the exception of three torn sails and a little broken tackle, every thing on board the boat was in as good shape when the anchor was drooped off Queenstown as when raised off Tompkinsville, Staten Island.
