The Pittsburg Strike to be Extended All Over the United States. The 2,500 machinists of Pittsburg who have beea on strike for a few days for the nine-hour day with ten hours’ pay are confident of win- ning. A number of the smaller concerns have already granted the demand of the strikers, The Westinghouse Electrie Company, which is the largest employer, is making the hardest fight against the demand. It was developed yesterday that the strike, Which was supposed to have only local signifi- cance, is the beginning of a national movement tosecure shorter hours for machinists. The leader of the Pittsburg strikers said: “The machinists of all the towns and cities in the United States and Canada are organized, and nota man will come here to take our places. The movement is Lemg backed by the Brother- hood of Machinists. the Amalgamated Society of Engineers and the National Association of Machinists, an organization which extends from Calitornia to Maine, covering every state in the Union. “Allare working in harmony and cannot help but be successful, as they have the moral and financial support’ to carry them through. ‘the movement for shorter hours inaugurated in Pittsburg is to extend all over the country, The of the industrial world are centered h \d as soon as our fight is won the demand will be made in other cities,” eo s The Carrier Pigeon Record Broken.

Bombs That Are Attached to the Har- poons and How They Work. Whales off Norway are barpooned with an instrument of peculiar construction. It con- sists of ashank, into which two barbs fold these spring out and sit fast in the animal's flesh when a strain comes on the line attached tothe harpoon. The harpoon is fired from a cannon, mounted ona swivel, carried in the bow of the steamer. The head of the harpoon carries an explosive shell, which is fired by the breaking of a glass tube filled with sulphuric acid, and the tube is broken the moment the animal strains the line attached to the harpoon in its dash to escape after being struck. The line attached consists of a length of chain next the harpoon, and then a stout cable, and the two are connected by an accumulator spring, which takes and breaks the first strain of the animal’s dash, Usually the explosion of the shell is immediately fatal, but it does terpen occasionally that the explosion of the shell fails to strike a vital part, and in that case the whale is apt to show fight. The steamers employed are vessels built of iron, about 60 to 100 tons register, with engines of 25 to 40 horse power nominal. Such a vessel, with its suils bucked and engines work- ing full speed astern, and with a long length of cable dragging through the water, preseute a very powerful obstruction, but yet monster whales often prove powerful enough to move the steamer with considerable spee pe asso aad COWBOYS OF TEXAS, Small Temptation to Disorderly Con- duct Since Whisky Has Been Banished. Cowboy life has in the last few yoars lost much of its roughness, says a writer in Har- per’s, The cattle barons have discharged most of the men who drank, and have frowned 80 persistently upon gambling that little of it isdone, Cards and whisky being put away, there is small temptation to disorderly conduct, so it is only when they reach some large city and are not on duty that they indulge in a gen- uine spree. On the ranches kept under fence they have little to do when not on the drive or in the branding time, the cattle being all safely inclosed. But they must take their turns at line riding, which means a close inspection of the fences, and the repair of all breaks and damages, Where night overtakes them, there they sleep, staking their horses and rolliag themselves in their blankets. These rides of inspection take days to accomplish, for there are ranches in Texas which extend in a straight line over seventy-five miles. Those ranc which are not kept under fence necessitate more work. The boys must then keep ir cuttle in sight, and while allow- ing them to graze in every direction, must se that none in the many thousands stray be- yond the limits of their own particular pas- tures, It is nota lite of hardship and pays well cuough. Everything is furnished to them free and of the best, and they are paid besides $30 per month. Each party stays out from two to three weeks at a time; but they take with them the finest of camp wagons, with beds and beddings, cooking utensils, the best of grocer- ies of all kinds and as excellent a cook as money can empioy. ‘These men are exceedingly chivalrous to all women; this seems to be a trait born in them, as much a part of their moral nature as it is of their physical to have small feet, for it is seldom that a genuine Texas cowboy can be found who has not the distinguishing mark of a handsome foot, and his boots are to him all that the sombrero is to a Mexican. He will deny himself many pleasures, he will go without a coat and be seen in the most dilapi- dated attire, but his boots must be of the best and most beautiful make that the country can afford, high of heel and curved of instep, a fine upper and thin sole, fitting like a glove and showing the handsome foot to perfection. soe COUNT DE ARNAUD’S TROUBLE. A New Jersey Real Estate Transaction— Borrowed Military Glory. A few days ago the grand jury found an in- dictment against Charles A. De Arnaud, who was charged with fraudulently personating Capt. Alfred Arnaud of company F, ninth Mis- souri volunteers, and obtaining a pension. The New York Times says: Application was made to Chancellor McGill in Jersey City yesterday for a commission to examine Capt. Alfred De Arnaud at Hot Springs, Ark. in the interest of Mrs. Mary Peet, who is suing Charles A. De Arnaud of Bergeon county to re- cover title to some property. Charles De Arnaud says he is acount and claims to have commanded a body of Missouri volunteers dur- ing the war. The name Alfred Arnaud on the records of the War Department at Wash- ington, he says, was intended for him, and it 1s alleged that he had the record changed to his name. Mrs. Peet's lawyer claims that the Capt. Al- fred Arnaud who commanded company F of the ninth Missouri volunteers, which De Arnaud claims to have commanded, is in Hot Springs, and he wants to have the testimony of the Ar- kansas warrior taken to present De Arnaud in his true light, Texas Democratic Convention, The Texas democratic convention met yes- terdaym San Antonio, with 2,000 delegates present and as many more visitors.

Said to be the Outcome of a Thoroughly Organized Agitation. A public court-martial was held at Exeter, England, yesterday to inquire into the recent mutiny among the royal artillery men stationed there, when it was stated that the delay in tak- ing action against the sergeant and corporal complained of by the men resulted in the out- break which caused this action. The English military revolts are undoubtedly the outcome of a thoroughly organized system of agitation, The officers of several regiments admit this | from facts which have come to their know!- edge. Deputations from the army and navy have waited on a well-known agitator with a view to organize a general strike against mili- tary orders, and it is stated that agitators are placed at the various military depots who are now doing their best to excite the younger members of the service to revolt, ——<eo—~. A PECULIAR EXPLOSIO! Great Holes tslown in the Earth Near Indianapolis, Ten acres of the farm of Thomas Hatson, late representative of the legislature, three miles north of Waldron, Ind., have been destroyed for farming purposes and great holes have been blown in the earth, The course of Flat Rock creek has been turned up stream. Birds, suakes and rabbits and fish are dead, while the fish are thoroughly cooked in the heated water. All this was caused by the up- heaval of the waters, A log fire was blazing in the midst of the ten acres, when without warn- ing th rth belched forth ite flame. Great trees were hurled skyward and all the waters of Flat Rock were converted to foam andsteam, A vast pocket of natural gas burst forth and the scene was beautiful. The ges took fire and blazed fiercely up above the trees, and at times many feet high, and continued all Mon- day and Monday might. Yesterday 3,000 spec- tators viewed the phenomenon. ‘The fire has been extinguished, but gas is still escaping. | Some claim that other agency than that of gas ‘is the cause of the phenomenon, but the gen- eral conviction is that 9 other agency could have prodaced that effect on the water.

Many of Them Object to Holding Thetr Convention at Chicago.

The participants were Herr Bebet, who has the reputation of being abnormally excit- able, and another socialist whose name is not given, probably because his features were un- recognizuble after the meeting. The unknown, whose friends excuse his rashness by suggest- ing beer and other intoxicants, shook his fist in Herr Bebet's face, used very bad language and concluded with the charge that he was as- suming an authority he was not entitled to and which did not sit wellon him. This was too much for Herr Bebet, who broke his critic's nose, knocked out his ‘teeth aud kicked him on the body. —-se0—______ A Threatened Strike in Australia.

In point of fact, it may be truthfully said that it is without ap equal in this respect any where in the world These averments are borne out by the figures g:ven below, which are compiled from the *worn weekly statements printed in the paper on each Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1889, published in Tus Sras on the 18th of January, 1590. Briefly stated, the pointe upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star has three times the ciren- lation of any other paper in Washing- tout 2, The Star's circulation Washing- ton bs double that of all the other datly Papers published im the city added to gether!! 3. fhe Star bas a larger and fuller circulation in the city where printed, im proportion to reading and purchase ing population, than any other news Paper in the world!!! 4. The Simr bas the largest regular and permanent home circulation of any two-cent afternoon paper im the United states tiit In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the paper, attention is invited to the figures following: PALLY CIRCULATION IW IRS5-86-87-88-80, 1SS3.

PORTION of 928; PER CENT, or AN AGGRE- GATE of 27,882 copies! Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales Over the office counter, at the news stands, ané by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied reguiarly to per manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not householders), so thet its whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the family circle, While ite aggregate circulation there fore gives Tue Stan a distinctire and enviable Position in modern journalism, the fullness of its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the household, and particularly by the pur- chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other datly Journal now published can furnish a parallel. ‘This is no idle boast on the part of the paper. It is a well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter- prising business men of Washington, who seek and know where to find THE LARGEST RETULNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tue S advertising patronage Nothing can more surely illustrate the esteem in which any article is held by the public than a constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, month by mouth, and year by year,—in the face of ad- verse claims and pretentiouscompetition. The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEMLNTS <RINTED Lt 1886. 1SS7. 3,200 3,613 3,064 3,547 3806 4,659 4,355 5,475 4,197 5,395 3.938 4,522 3.235 3,3N0 2882 3,170 4,208 7 taro S313 4,250 5,035 3.596 5,003 TOTAL $1,199 45,910 54,038 51,801 €5,529 But it is not alone in numbers that the great increase of advertising is shown. The larger space required for advertisements during the year 1889 as compared with that occupied ip 1888 iseven more striking. The average daily spice filled by advertise ‘ments in 1888 was 25.10 columns, or 7779 columns for the year; whereas for the year 1889 the daily ‘verage was 29.75 columns, or 9223 columns im the aggregate, being a total gain over the pre vious yearof1444columns! And this, it mast 6,107 3.793, be remembered, consisted exclusively of the ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, @tc., such as occasionally swell the business of Political organs, being included im ite patrom age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, im proportion to the extent and bigh charactet of its circulation, Tux Srax's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement bereip made can be abundantly verified THE CLR CULATION OF THE PAPER Ib SWORN TO; ITS PRESS AND CIRCULATION ROOMS ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND ITS BOOKS “MAY BE INSPECTED BY ANY ONE HAVING 43 DITEREST IN THEIR EXAMINATION.
