THE QUEEN’S SPEECH Parliament Assembles in the Cham- ber of the Lords, DOQUESNE STRIKERS 60. WORK iz more. NATIONAL POLITICS. DUQUESNE STRIKERS GO BACK. ty) ok meg A The Steel Company Scored an Important Vietory. Prrrepura, Pa., Aug. 8.—The strikers at Duquesne went to work this morning and the Carnegie Steel Company has scored one vic- tory. On Saturday Superintendent Morrison posted ‘& notice to the effect that all men who had ap- plied for their old jobs should report at the mill at 7 o'clock this morning as the mill would resume at thet hour. Long be- fore the time eet, however, workers with unfrequented streets and along the rail tracks and en- tered the mill unobserved by their fellow strikers. As 7 o'clock approached the number of men who had entered the mill yard through this means reached 400. THE ‘“s1G” WAS UP. About sixty men who were leaders in the sym- | PFC’ pathy strike movement gathered on the road near the mill gate and watched in moody si- Trishman exclaimed in a loud voice,‘ Well, men, the jig is up; we had better hustle for our old ee was tho signal fora panic, and the en- tire crowd ran toward the gate. A freight train was backed in front of the gate, but the men did not wait for it to be moved, bat scrambled over and under it in their frantic haste to get inside the mill before the whistled stopped blowing. It was a complete stampede. The men were organized into the Amalga- mated Association at no little expense and they went out on the sympathy «trike movement about two weeks ago. By their surrender they are expelled from the Amalgamated Association and the Carnegie Company has two non-union mills. EFFECT AT HOMESTEAD. The effect of the break at Duquesne cannot but prove harmful to the men at Homestead, although the leaders will not believe it. Yet Duquesne steel billets can be manufactured and sent to Homestead to be rolled into plates by the non-union mgn, so that the firm will be in far better conditi®h to fill its contracts and prosecute its fight here. PROSECUTING THE RIOTERS. Secretary Lovejoy of the Carnegie Steel Com- pany is authority for statements showing the breadth of the plan of the Company Wa ifiithiue yeosscutiag, te otrfbee whe ec ged in the riot on July 6. record of Srty-three informations for murder or agera- vated riot and eighteen arrests on these charges is to be increased three fold. Mr. Lovejoy was asked: “Will you make any more informations toda ve may. Itis not decided yet. We will, though, make several before the week ie over. ‘We have started in on this conquest of riot by law and it will be carried to a finish. There wil be anywhere from fifty to one hun- dred and fifty more ergs io murder and wated riot charges mi against Homestend strikers before the strike is over. Weare proceeding carefully and get only evidence to a certainty before the charge is made. We mean to make no mistake.” “Who is getting information for you?” Mr. Lovejoy was asked. mi best detective skill in the coun’ coe long experience at work at Homestead and the infor- mations I make are on evidence received by these men, who will be produced in court and fe have also the assist- ance of Sheriff McCieary and his deputies and of the city and local officers.”” On the other hand W. J. Brennan, for the Amalgamated Association, says that the strikers do not pro] tobe behind the company in thematter of prosecutions, and riot and inciting riot charges will be made early this week against the members of the firm and the Pinkertons. * Mr. Brennan added that they are waiting for certain information and that when it is re- ceived something else may turn up. He also said that association was necessary in this age, and workmen must unite and hold their own against the capitalists. He concluded by remarking that the arbitration papers had been served on the company, but if the members of the firm decline to take up the issue nothing further can be done; the law is fot compulsory. 4 REPORT TO THE STAIEERS. Richard Nicholls, night superintendent and puddie bovs at the 33d street mill, resigned last evening, and today made a report to the strikers of the operations of the mill since non-union men went to work. He says he quit work because he was asked to do all sorts of work for the performance of which no persons had been se- cured. None of the iron made by the non- union men, he says, has been worth anything, being burned and sent to the “scrap pile.” reports the company has really nothing, but has spent a great deal of money in ‘attempting to ran with the unskilled workmen now employed. Nicholls, the company and they say bis scheme to obtain knowl of their move- ments. He was not received with any violent denzonatrations of delight. The union mill men assert the breaking of the Duquesne strike will not affect them in any manner, a their coming out on strike did not benefit them. All the strikers are hopeful and have plenty of funds. DESERTING THE HOMESTEAD MILLS.

Baltimore Had a Blaze Causing 6200,000 Loss This Morning. Battmonz, Aug. 8.—One of the most dis- astrous and sensational morning fires that this city has seen for several years broke out this morning in John Chatterton & Co.'s furniture factory, No. 13 South Frederick street.

At about 9:15 the fire in the Chatterton build- ing began to subside, the inflammable material stored in it having burned itself, out and the heat grew less intenso. From that time on the flames were gradually brought under control, and the firemen were masters of the situation. ‘The books and papers of John Chatterton & Co. were in their {wo safes in the office on the second floor. The contents of the large safe are supposed to be intact. In a smaller one are some valuable records and papers.

The Government in Honduras Controls the Situation. New Onxzays, Aug. 8.--The steamship City of Dallas arrived yesterday evening with the latest intelligence of the revolution in Spanish Honduras. It appears that the government once more has the upper hand and that Leiva and his cabinet will remain in control. He has chartered the steamship Spazetta,a New Or- enna vessel, snd bes converted if into a war , loading the ship with troops. It departed recently from Puerto Cortes to attack Cabs. it is ted that a pitched battle was fought at Ceiba between the resident revolu- tionists and the government troops, in which the latter were victorious. The vessel is said to have contributed materially to the result by bombarding the evolutionists with some light ordnance with which it had been armed. The bombardment dislodged the rebels and they fied in disorder to the forests. The government is reported to have been reinforced by the addition of a band of ents who deserted Nuila and marched into Puerto Cortez. The commander of this band disclosed the movements of the revolu- tionista. They intended to secretly march into Cawayagua on August 4 and capture thé city. In the event of success they would bombard and destroy all the public buildings and Lei , and in addition empty the coffers the treasury and burn all iniportant papers they could lay hands on. Spies were in communication with Nuila and the plan was well laid and would have overthrown the government had it not been for the information received. The news was dispatched to Leiva and others and a large force is now guarding the capital. gee IN THE “CITY OF THE PLAGUE.” Persians Frantically Destroy All the Liquor, Being Told That It Brought Cholera.

Strange Result of a Mad Dog's Bite Fifteen Years Ago. Prrrssuna, Pa., Aug 8.—Fifteen years ago this month, while playing on the street, John Alles was pounced upon by a big dog. Before he could eacape the dog tore a piece out of his left leg just above the knee. The boy was laid up several days with the wound, but it healed up finally and nothing more was thought of it until a year afterward to the day, when the little fellow became sick. As the day wore on he became excitable and feverish, but could not bear the sight of water. At 4’ o'clock, the hour of the day when he had been bitten @ year before, he was seized with a terrible spasm, Four strong men were required to hold him, while he writhed and barked like a dog and foamed at the mouth. 3 After his strength had been exhausted he be- came unconscious and was put to bed. When he awoke the trouble was gone. He was weak and exhausted. but perfectly rational. ‘The day from the moment when he was seized with the first attack was a blank to him and he could not believe the stories they told of his actions. Ina day oF two he was ns well as ever. very year afterward ut the same time of the year, at the same hour. he has suffered a return of the frightful malady, and each time he has fully recovered within a few days. As he grew to manhood the attacks became more violent and required more force to corftrol him, but otherwise there was no change. He is now undergoing the tortures of his fourteenth attack and twelve strong menare hardly ableto control himas he writhed in awfal contortions producéd by the malady. Alles is a member of the real estate and insurance firm of that name on 4th avenue. He is twenty-seven years of age. READING THE QUEEN’ SPEECH.

Loxnox, Aug. 8.—The formalities of organiz- ing the houre of commons were completed last _ week and this morning when the house met the members were summoned to the house of lords, where the speech from the throne open- ing the session of the twenty-fifth imperial par- liament of Queen Victorin was read. ‘The speech informed her majesty’s lords and entlemen that at the command of her majesty the prevent parliament ne been, assembled in obedience to the terms of her majesty’s procla- mation of June 28, by which the late parliament was dissolved. “Previous to that dissolution,” the speech added, “‘the business of the session was com- Plcted:, ‘Therefore it. is not necessary for par- ment now to continue its session at an un- usual period of the year for the transaction of financial or legislative business.”” Her majesty expressed the hope that when parliament meets ngain at the customary sea- son it will again direct attention to measures of social and domestic improvement and that it will continue to advance in the path of usual | and beneficent legislation which has been so judiciously followed at previous sessions. ‘The commons during the queen's speech entered the house of lords at 2 o'clock and took their seats on the long bench in front of the throne. A few ladies occupied seats on the lower opposite benches. Only forty members of the house of lords were present. The usual notice to the house of commons was given, and soon the spenker, attended by a handful of the members of the iower house, was ushered into the chamber of the peers to listen to the readii of the speech. After the a was read bo! houses took a recess until 4 o'clock. At 4 o'clock the house of commons reas- sembled. Nearly all the members were present and the galleries were crowded with visitors. ‘The queen's speech was again read to the mem- bers, When the laat portion of the «peech was read it was greeted with groans by the liberals.
