New York, April 14. Acabledespatch
from Kome describes the scenes in that
city yesterday growing out of the at
tempt to cause a bread riot by unem
ployed workmen. The government enn
aeuted to a mass meeting of the idle
men, but insisted that it should be held
in the courtyard of the military barracks,
an uncomfortable place in which to get
up a revolution. The courtyard was
crowded with excited workingmen, and
the neighboring streets were filled with
carbineers and artillery. A force of cav
alry was also at hand. The entire pre
cautions were directed by the prime
minister. The police inspector in com
mand stood close to the president of tlie
meeting, and warned the speakers
when they handled the government too
rongbly. The nobility, clergymen aiid
middle classes were denounced.
Finally a workinrman named De
Sanctis declared that the government
bad reduced the toilers to a condition of
slavery and would give neither work
nor bread. The ministry had adopted a
barbarous system of treating the masses,
and their condition was unendurable.
Here the inspector warned the speaker,
wherenpon De Sanciis shrieked: ."Take
me to prison; I am tired of suffering."
A terrific scene of confusion followed.
during which the orator shouted: "Our
only hope is to take to arms."
The inspector put on an official scarf.
bugles were sounded and the working
men were ordered to disperse. They
roared angrily as tha troops advanced
with fixed bayonets and carbineers
cleared the courtyard. It was feared
that the mob was about to attack the of
fice of the minister of finance and the
building was closed and prepared for de
fense. Some of the mob fell upon the
carbineers and several arrests were
made. "
Later on a croud organized in the
Kiazza Dante, but were dispersed by
cavalry. All the prisoners were released
last night except De Sanctis. Working-
men annonnoe that they will bold a
meeting next Sunday with or without
permission. A serious riot is feared.
It is said that the Poverini, the Nea
politan combination against Signor
Urispi's government, will try to over
throw it at the approaching general
election, and is secretly fanning the
flame of discontent so that disorders
may follow.
London, April 14 The grand coun
cil of tne federation of trades has decid
ed on a parade of workingmen on May
1. Preparations for similar parades are
going on throughout Germany. Emper
or William bas forbidden the E.oJj!i -o

There is determined opposition to the
proposed display in Austria, France and
Italy, but the movement for simul

notwithstanding.

San Francisco, April 14. Notwith
standing the fact that it is the day on
which, according to the prophecy of the
doom-sealers, San Francisco and Oak
laud are to be destroyed by an earth
quake and tidal wave, there in no indi
cation in this city of such destruction.
The day is beautiful, and if any of the
believers in Mrs. Woodworth and Pro

by the hills in the.neighboring counties,
were in the city this morning, their faith
in propheoies would probably be shak

refuge in which to escape the predicted
tidal wave and destruction of Oakland
and San Franoisco, to take place to-day.
are now fleeing to the mountains, having
discovered that St Helena is such a
wicked place that they are not safe here.
A large number went to HoweU moun
tain last week, and a large party of
negroes went to the summit of Mount
St. Helena this morning. Further than
their exodus to the mountains, the fanat
ics are net creating xr.uch commotion
to-day. It is slowly d owning on them
I that this prophesy of evil has failed

i Vacavii.le, Cal., April 14. A look of
: quit- expectancy h:s settled on the fac
1 es c.i the doom-sealers here. The erowd
' Lave spent the morning in prayer ;.ud
: readiug of Billies, and Li.ve confined
; 1 bemseives to their houses. None have
ventured beyond God's chosen precincts,
its tliey call the place where they are lo
cated. In response to a question as to
the prospects for a shake-np, Hendrix,
the apparent leader, advised the corres
pondent to go to God, but as to his
movements in future was particularly
siieut. "God's will be done," he said.
"He will direct, and we will follow."
"If the earth doesn't go up or down to
day, wtiat will you do? ' Go to God
and find out," answered Hendrix. Much
indignation is expressed at the notoriety
given them, and Erickseu is regatded as
a martyr. They are very quiet and
composed. There are no earthquake in
indications in the atmosphere. One
party of ten are located on high peaks
in tents, and none have been in town to
day. Santa Rosa, Cal., A;ril 14. There
was great excitement among Mrs. Wood
worth's followers this morning. At first
it was supposed Santa Kosa was in no
danger, but since the Callaghan vision
last week, the mountains are regarded
as the only safe place. Between seventy
and 100 left this morning at an early
hour for the top of Taylor mountain,
two miles south of this city. They were
joined by a number of Salvatiou Army
and Holiness people, who say they are
going to have a picuic and spiritual fes
tival whether the wave comes or not.
They are now" engaged in singing and
praying, and many are laid out in tranc
es. A number of people are seen along
the streets looking at the mountain with
field glasses.
Clinton, 111., April 14. A strange man
commited suicide near here to-day. He
asserted seriously his belief in the pro
phecy that Chicago would perish to-day,
and that he could avert the dire calam
ity by offering his life as a sacrifice. He
oould not be dissuaded from this delu
sion and while no one was present cast
himself before a west-bound train on the
Illinois Central railroad and was instant
ly killed. He was well dressed, and
about 40 years old. Letters show his
name to be Hamilton and his home to be
near Louisville, Ky.
Chicago, April 14. The prophesied

row has presented a telegraphic copy

A manifesto signed by the heads of
ninety-four trades unions has been cir
culated throughout London during the
last few days, oalling ou the hundreds
of thousands of workingmen to meet in
Hyde Park on Mav &, for the purpose of
agitating the question of an eight-hour
day. The most powerful of the trades
unions have refused to sign the manifes
to and are actively opposing the move
ment. Nevertheless, the call will doubt
less result in one of the largest lobor
meetings London bas seen in many
years, though the opposition of the
leading organizations will deprive it of
the unanimity necessary to its character
as a representative gathering.

ail ITON AND WOOL.
Our large cities are every year
appreciating good mutton better,
and there is every encouragement
to breed and feed for mutton and
wool. We are not clear that fine
wooled sheep may not be gradu
ally changed, by a proper system
of feeding, into palatable and
brogtable mutton. It is claimed
that the French have so changed
the Merino at the Rambonillet
establishment It is quite certain
that our best breeders of Merinos
have greatly improved them from
the original Spanish form. The
American Merinos appear almost
like a distinct breed, About 50
per cent has been added to their
weight, and they mature earlier.
This good work should be continu
ed till the breed shall be considered
as superior for mutton as for
wool. Their weight can be
made equal to the Southdown, and
when their flesh shall be as
universally esteemed as the Down
then the best mutton and best
wool will be combined in one
breed. But while this improve
ment is going on,' let the com
mon mode, of improving the
mutton of our common grade
Merinos crossing upon a South
down, Leicester or Cotswold ram
be more generally practiced.
The first cross makes a remark
able improvement in the mutton,
the lambs bringing a much higher
price. The lamb is often worth
more than two fleeces.
In changing to mutton the sheep
farmer will require to study the
feeding problem more than hereto
fore, for the quality of his mutton
will depend much upon this. But
he will find his profit in a liberal
supply. The well-fed lamb will
Dearly double that of the poorly
fed one. J. D. in Spirit and Far
mer. SUPERIORITY OF WESTERN HORSES.
It is not empty boasting to say
that horses raised in the West are
taking precedence, even in Eastern
markets. In answer to a corre
spondent in the N. X. Herald
says: Wsetern horses of the right
kind are the most readily sold in
any of the cities. In New York
they bring higher prices than in
Western cities, as the demand is
larger for them. The most desira-
Me horses are about 1,200 pounds
in weight, and bay or gray are the
most popular colors. . Color, how
ever, is a secondary consideration,
nlthough mixed or spotted colors
are not liked. Halt-breed Per
cherons are the most salable, being
stout-built aud active animals, with
clean limbs aud sound feet.
CONDITION OF THE WOOL MAI1KET.
The condition of things in the
wool market is forcibly told in the
following from Bradstreet's of
March 22:
No improvement bas occurred
in the wool market. Ssles are
moderate and prices steady. Few
buyers are found. Business is of
hand-to-mouth character. The
tariff discussion causes some dis
turbance. Concessions have to be
made to move wool freely. The
number of sheep in the United
States at the close of 1890 is esti
mated at 44,336,072, as against
42,599,079 in 1888. Values are
about steady in the Boston market.
The prevailing disposition is to let
the dealers carry the stuff until
uew wool comes upon the market.
Fine fleeces are in buyers' favor
at 3133Jc. per pound for Ohio.
Delaine wools are not wanted to
any great extent. In combings
there is comparatively better move
ment Nothing of interest appears
in the market for Texas, Califor
nia or Territoiv supplies, but
pulled wools are doing better.
