NO STRIKE YET AT PITTSBURG. A Conference to be Held Between Men and Masters Today. Prrtspvre, Pa., April 16.—None of the em- ployes on any of the railroads centering in this city have as yet left their work, as was intimated last night might be the case. The actions of the members of the various brotherhoods are ominous, and should the conference between the general grievance committee and the railroad officers that will occur in the offices of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company at 4 o'clock this afternoon result un- satisfactory to the grievance committee it does not now appear possible that the threatened general tie up can be averted. Neither the railroad officials nor employes will talk on the subject. It is firmly believed by the employes, however, that if a strike occurs at all it will be ordered and become general tonight. ee CAPRIVI DID WELL. The German Papers All Speak Well of His First Speech. Berxty, April 16.—All the papers today pub- lish comments upon the speech made by Chan- cellor Von Caprivi at the opening of the Prus- sian diet yesterday, The Vossisohe Zeitung says that, despite the chancellor's protest that the beginning of a new era is not to be expected, the elimination of party strife from the inherit- ance upon which he has entered appears to be the beginning of anew era. No party, the paper says, will oppose the government on matters of principle. The Deutsche Tageblatt says that Chancellor Yon Caprivi’s unshakable confidence in a hope- ful future for Prussia and the empire proves that he is a worthy successor to the statesman whose last thought was of kaiser and reich. The Berliner’ Tageblatt and the Bouresen Courier says that the speech contains the essential points of the government program and that it gives the key to the cause of Prince Bismarck’s resignation. The Voksbiatt says that | posemsts the question of a general European disarmament will be brought before the reichstag at the coming session. ——._— A way out: Boston Contractors Talk of Getting Laborers Abroad. Bostow, April 16.—There is considerable ex- citementein labor circles today over reports made public this morning. The first comes from London and is to the effect that the Free- stone Contractors’ Association have found way of evading the foreign contract labor law by assuring the men they are trying to se- cure in England that they are not authorized to make any contracts in England, but will make ements immediately on their arrival ited States. The second report is the published statement of a member of the Build- tg Trades Council that the bricklayers have signed a contract with the employers not to strike for three years, in return for which the men are to receive an advance of 10 cents per hour, with eight hours as a days’ work. Most of the bricklayers are non-com- mittal on the subject. At the special meet- ing of the amalgamated building trade Thursday, the carpenters and bricklayers will be asked to explain their position and show cause for not obeying the strike order of the A.B.T.C. The situation is very badly mixed and the future uncertain, —— Flurry in Pork.

Seca Changes in Jordan’s Bank. New York, April 16.—Interesting changes were made today in the organization of the Western National Bank. It will be remembered that when that bank was organized Mr. C. N. Jordan resigned the position | of treasurer of the United States to become president. The bank started off with an immense business. Compli- cations led to dissatisfaction. Mr. Jordan, Mr. F. E.

The Tariff Bill Reported in the House This Afternoon, POINTS FROM THE REPORT OF THR MAJORITY OF THE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTRE—ENCOUR- AGEMENT OF AMERICAN LABOR THE KEY NOTE— TWO MINORITY REPORTS, ‘The reports of the majority and minority of the ways and means committee on the tariff were presented to the House this afternoon. The majority report begins with a statement of the financial situation and estimates that the surplus at the end of the present fiscal year will;be $92,000,000 and, deducting the sum re- quired to make payments on the sinking fund, the net surplus of receipts over expenditures will be $43,678,883, The estimated surplus of the next fiscal year will be $43,569,522, which, with the amount of cash now on hand and available (reaching 90,000,000), will justify a reduction of the revenue in the sum contemplated by the bill reported—#60,936,536, and probably more from customs and $10,327,878 from internal revenue, or a total of $71,264,414. THE EFFECT OF THE BILL UPON THE REVENUES. The majority report says: The exact effect npon the revenues of the government of the proposed bill is difficult of ascertainment. That there will be a substantial reduction, as we shall show, admite of no doubt. It is not believed that the increase of duties upon wools and woolen goods and upon glass ware will have the effect of increasing the revenues. That would, of course, follow if the importations of the last fiscal year were hereafter to be maintained, which, however, is altogether improbable, The result will be that importations will be decreased and, therefore the amount of revenue collected from these sources will be diminished, In every case of increased duty except that imposed upon tin plate, which does not go into effect until July 1, 1891, and upon linen fabrics, the effect will be to reduce rather than enlarge the revenues, BECAUSE IMPORTATIONS WILL FALL OFF. It was the aim of the committee to fix the duties upon that class of manufactured goods and farm products which can be supplied at home so as to discourage the use of like foreign goods and products, and secure to our own poopie and our own producers the home mar- et, beheving that competition among our- selves will secure reasonable prices to con- sumers in the future, as it hag invariably done in the past. We seek by the increased duties recom- mended not only to maintain but to enlarge our own manufacturing plants and check those supplies from abroad which can_be profitably produced at home. The general policy of the bill is to foster and promote American production and diversification of American industry, We have not been so much concerned about the prices of the articles we consume as we have been TO ENCOURAGE A SYSTEM OF HOME PRODUCTION that shall give fair remuneration to domestic producers and fair wages to American work- | men and, by increased production and home competition, insure fair prices to consumers.” The committee admits that free trade or revenue duties wonld temporarily diminish prices, but argued that it would be at the ex- (eet of the domestic products, which would ¢ displaced, and then prices would again ad- vance and the country be left at the mercy of foreign syndicates and manufacturers. CHEAP FOREIGN PRODUCTS MEAN CHEAP LABOR AT HOME, The report says: ‘Cheaper products from abroad to the American consumers mean cheaper labor at home and lower rewards to the domestic producer, with no permanent benefits to the consumer. Neither condition would prove a blessing to the United States. That country is the least prosperous where low prices and low wages prevail, One of the chief complaints now prevalent among our farmers is that they can get no price for their crops at all commensurate to the labor and capital in- a in their production. Those who differ rom us must believe that _ even further agricultural depression is desirable, for no other consequence can result from their economic theories, They advocate cheap prices as the chief object of the indus- trial policy they commend to the yuntry. This means U seireapeageey f low pric for agricultural products as well as for manufac- tured goods, : ‘This b.1) is framed in the interest of the peo- ple of the United States, It is for the better DEFENSE OF AMERICAN HOMES AND AMERICAN IN- DUSTRIES, We have realized, the committee says, that a reduction of duties below the difference be- tween the cost of labor and production in competing countries and our own would re- sult either in the abandonment of ich of our manufacturing here or in the depression of our labor. EITHER RESULT WOULD BRING DISASTER, the extent of which no one can measure. We have recommended no duty above the point of difference between the normal cost of production here, including labor, and the cost of like production in the countries which seek our markets. TWO MINORITY REPORTS, Mr. McKenna made a minority report on sugar, Mr. Carlisle made the report for the demo- crats of the committee. THE ONLY CHANGES IN THE BILL not heretofore recorded are that hides are on the free list’ again and sugar is made free with a bounty. All sugar below and including sixteen Dutch standard is admitted free of duty with a bounty of 2 cents per pound to run for fifteen years. All above sixteen is dutiable at 4-10 of a cent per pound, No change is made in the wool schedule. THE ECKINGTON ROAD. Senator Harris Preseuts Petitions Ask- ing for the Extension. Senator Harris in the Senate yesterday made another move in the matter of the proposed branch of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home railroad from New York avenue along 5th street to G street, and along G street to 15th street northwest, by the introduction of a series of petitions praying for the passage of the bill as follows: From 159 real estate owners and residents on G street between 5th and 15th. From the Equitable Co-operative Building Associations, by its president and poard of directors. From Robert P. Porter, superintendent of the census, and 75 employes of the Census Office. From Green B. Raum, commissioner of pen- sions, and 115 employes of the Pension office. From Rev. James A. Buck, pastor of St. Paul's Church, Rock Creek Parish, and chap- lain of the Soldi Home.

How the Twenty-Eighth Annniversary Was Celebrated Today. 4 LONG PROCESSION THIS AFTERNOON—SCEXES ON THE STREETS AND ABOUT THE RENDEZVOUS —MANY COLORED ORGANIZATIONS—THE EXER- CISES AT LINCOLN PARK, There was revelry in the nation's capital to- day and many eyes looked love to eyes that spoke again. Before 10 o'clock in the morning bands and groups of uniformed men, followed by the usual throng of boys, were seen hastening about the city in preparation for the celebration of the twenty-eighth anniversary of the eman- cipation of the slaves in the District of Co- lumbia, and long before noon a vast crowd, composed mostly of colored people, had as- sembled on 7th street at the crossing of New York and Massachusetts avenues, where the procession was to form. Along K street from 7th to New Jersey ave- nue colored companies on foot and mounted, with many in carriages, were waiting to fall in as the procession moved. SCENES AT THE RENDEZVOUS. The gathering crowd soon thronged both | sides of K street for halfa mile. A thousand antics were performed by the juvenile sight- seers while waiting for the military to move. Mounted aides in new uniforms and bright sashes, with gaily decorated steeds, gallo back and forth along the line, giving a military ap) ance and sees 4 to the gathering. Little boys with battle axes and wooden guns, and others with miniature hook and ladder trucks, all in uniforms that nearly burst their little hearts with pride and gave them glory enough for one day, waited patiently for the head of the procession to ap- Pea: r. Asthe many bands and divisions arrived with martial music the crowd flowed like a tidal wave along the line of march and then ebbed again as another company with gayer uniforms came in view. Wagons and carriages were filled with eager sightseers, while thou- sands of women and children looked out from the windows of their homes. Prot. Fowler waited for two or three hours in his carriage near the K street market, hold- ing onastaff that rested in the carriage a pretty miniature ship festooned with the na- tional colors and bearing on each of its three mastheads the United States flag. THEY MOVED AT 2 o'cLocK. It was 2 o'clock when the procession that was to move promptly at 12 got in motion, and “Marching Through Georgia” was one of the pieces of band music which enlivened the march. Several delays were caused b; cars on the 7th street line, but soon the wait- ing columns were in motion again, and all was animated gaiety. THE MARSHAL AND HIS AIDES, The chief marshal was Dr. 8. A.

The procession consisted of a hundred or more organizations from this city, Baltimore and Alexandria, as enumerated in yesterday's Svan, all of whom marched in fine order under efficient leadership. In the first division were carriages contain- ing the speakers and other prominent men, and farther back followed a very large number of carriages, adding much to the elegance of the procession as it moved deliberately along. The first two divisions were composed of the colored military organizations of this city and the military visitors of Baltimore, and made a credible appearance, A feature of the parade was the absence of the huge decorated chariots, which always until this year have hada permarent place in the emancipation parade. A new departure was decided on this year and the committee excluded such vehicles from the line. THE LINE OF MARCH. The line of march was around Mount Vernon Square to New York avenue; thence to I street, up 12th to K street, out K to Washington Circle; thence on Pennsylvania avenue to 17th street, through the grounds of the Executive Mansion, where the parade was reviewed by the Fresi- dent and Cabinet. Returning to the avenue, the procession marched to 15th street, down 15th to Pennsylvania avenue, down the avenue, through Market Space to Louisiano avenue, up to D_ street, down D_ to Ist street, up Ist to District building. where the Commis- sioners reviewed the parade; thence to B street, up B to 2d street northeast, along 2d street to East Capitol street, and thence to Lincoln Park, where the chief marshal and staff re- viewed the procession.

Hewlett, Tonight there will be a banquet at the Wash- ington Cadet’s armory. TO BE REVIEWED. ‘The parade was due at the White House at 2 o'clock, but it had not made its appearance an hour later. The President occupied the time by going over # lot of post office recommendations with Postmaster General Wanamaker, All of the sidewalks in the vicin- ity of the executive mansion were covered with colored humanity of both sexes and invariably dressed in holiday attire. ‘The majority were simply supplied with lunches, which they continuously attempted to destroy. Nowhere was there any appearance of impatience. It was an occasion too great to be marred by growling. i THE DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. IN FAVOR OF THE CHANDLER PILL.
