BIG LABOR COMPLICATION, o8 Unex- ons. The Longshoremen's Strike A peoted and Gigantic Prop NO MORE COAL TO BE HANDLED. The Supply to Be Cat O From Al | the Ports of New York Harbor— Twenty Thonsand Men i Affected. i A Serious Situation. i Nrw York, Jan. 26.—All police reserves | In New York were called out to-day, owing to the threatening state of affairs caused by the strike of the longshoremen. The lone. shoremen are considering the question of baving a general strike all aong the docks and piers of the two cities. They issued an order yesterday to all coal shovelers to re to handle “seab” coal. The result is. no coal 18 being landed in the city to-day, The stop- page effects all st amship lines dependent npon them for ordinary supnlies of coal, The i longshoremen handle coal for steamship : lines the same as regular werchandise, but will not handle coal for any steam shin [ taking freight from the Old Dominton. The steamer Gallia, of the Cunard line, and Devonia of the Anchor line are being tied J up beeause they are recciving frelght from the Old Dominion, Police Superintendent Murray considers the situation threatening, At1p. m., all the longshoremen working by the hour employed by the National and Cunard _steamship companies went on a strike. They struck because the companies Tiad employed Ttalians to work in a grain ele- vator. ‘Tl trouble on the Cunard dock was that the superintendent had taken some of the old time hands and given them steady amployment at the rate ot $16 per week. The men who worked by the hour “said that ¥ the new weekly men would be eventually compe:led to unload barges, or, at least, that an attempt would be made to liaye them do I fuse 0, "Tlie struggle of the striking longshoremen. that has to o certain_extent become mergec into that of the coal handlers, was trans- ferred to a field of wuler proportions to-day when it beeame known that no coal of any sort should be handled in the ports of New York by union men on the \ ground that coal in_the harbor aow has been put aboad barges by non-union men. Thus, [ transferring of conl to trans-Atlantic and constwise steamships cannot be undertaken by any union man, and the supply of coal 1o consumers in this eity, Brooklyn and other points aronnd the harbor of New York ean- not be replenished by unton men. The effect of the carrying out of the order of the knights not to load coal became immediately ent all along the river fronts, ~ All the and coastwise steamship lines, with ceptions, suddenly found themselves deserted by union longShoremen whenever there was coal te be transferred on vessols, The exceptions were a fow lines which employ their coal shovelers by the week. The order not 1o handle coal also extends to union men out- side of the port of New York. Eyenas far as New Orleans it is said that union long- shoremen and others are under obligation not to load vessels with coal. With the suecess of the coal handlers, the longshoremen, it Is stated, could easily force trans-Atlantic and coastwise steamship lines to refuse to handle Old Dominion freight. ‘he question of ordering a general strike of longshoremen 1s Delng considered, so it is said, by the execu tive hoard of the ocean association of the Jongshoremen’s union, and it is thought to be among the probabilities that not le twenty thousand, will be idle to-morrow. JERSEY Crry, N, J., Jan. 20.—A party of Poles trom Wilkesborre, Pa., while on their ‘way to Hoboken, N. J., this ‘morning to take the Bremen steamers, were mistaken by the coal strikers for men to take their places and were assaulted. Three of the party were ser- fously njured and one man so badly hurt o that he cannot recover. Strikers Gam Their Point. New Yonrk, Jan, 26.—The strike at Hig- ging’ carpet factory ended this afternoon. 3 The 2,500 employes will to-morrow return to i work. The carpet workers are in National district No. 126 of the Knights of Labor. The executive board of the district had several conferences with the proprietors, who ad- ~ mitted that they had no idea that the organ- ization was so strong. ‘They agreed to take back all the hands, to discharge no more without cause, to cease all hostility to the " orderand to withdraw the proposition to re- £ duce wages 10 per cent. The senjor member of the firm, K. S. Higgins, refused to agree V to the last clause, however, and the confer- ence proved futile. Another conference to- day resulted in a satisfactory settlement of allpoints. The Knights of Labor will re- sume to-morrow. ‘I'ne exact terms of the set- £ tlement were refused. 1inois Labor Association. BPRINGFIELD, 1IL, Jan. 26.—The State Labor association continued its session to-day. The two bills from the Chicago trade and labor assembly, in behalf of labor, which ‘were introduced in the honse by Mr. Dwyer, ‘were endorsed. A resolution was introduced asking for a new trial of the condemned anarchists, and was ruled out of order. A Tesolution’ was adopted protesting against the calling out of the mili and the em- ploying of Pinkerton men in connection with the strike, and complimenting Gov- ernor Oglesby for his references to the same subject in his messages, I'he convention re- adopted its platform of two 18 ago with unimportant alterations, and adopted a reso- Jution approving the blue label of the Cizar Makers' International union, and rv{w‘tonl fiu amendment to include the blue seal cigar 1 of the Kuights ot Labor, which widens the breach between the two bodies. Struck on the Kid. NEwARK, N. J., Jan. 206.—Botween three and four hundred hands employed in the Edison electric light works at Harrison went out on a strike to-day. The cause of the trouble was the discharge of one of the boys who, it was discovered, had broken about two |Illhl‘ll‘t.‘d and fifty of the gas lamps stored in the building, A Strike Endea.

PriLaverrni, I n, 26, —[Special Telegram to the Bre,|—In discussing the probable effect of the inter-state commeree bill President Roberts, of the Pennsylvania ron d that mueh depends upon the inter- pretation given to some of its provisions by the commissioners or courts. *“The first ef- feet, however,” said Mr. Roberts, “‘will be to partly see to some extent the general bu ness of the country, because of the fact that the public are not prepared for so complete and radical a change in the method of trans- portation as the bill secks to Inaugurate, It would be diflicult to ehange radically the customary methods of doing business over the entire country, even if such clange were for the better, without for the time being suspending many of the large transactions of business. 1 think if the bill is strictly en- forced by all the larger and more important Iroads, which 1 sincerely hope it will be, and which it will be the effort of our company certainly to do, while a good many incon- veniences and absurdities will be discovered in it, yet it has many features from which much good may be derived in many ways to the pudlie. 1t will afford the rail- road enmpanics an opportunity to show thie public that the methods hereto- fore adopted by them in the management of their business have possibly been as honest and straightforward as the “crude laws go erning them, together with the cupidity ot the public, would permit them to be. “The bill Is generally understood by the public o be an act to enforce a_more honest, upright and just administration of the affairs of railways, while I think it will in the main be found to be a bill more caleulated to prevent the public from taking an undue advantage of the necessities ot the railway companies, Should it become a_law our company will make use of its best efforts to fairly earry out what we may be advised by the best lecal counsel we can obtain_as to the intent and meaning of the bill, Idon't wish to be un- derstood by anything I have said here to be in anywise rezarded as an_advoeate of this class of legislation. Legislation of this char- acter, which affeets probably a larger number of the whole povulation than any other act that could have been passed, should have been approached in w more cautious and intelligent way. 1 should recommend the formation of a ecommission, properly con- stituted, to inquire into the proper methods of transactine the inter-state commerce of the country, and after thoronghly examining the subject and asserting just what difliculties werein the wi [y of the public receiv- ing just and cquitable rates, but of railroad cotpanies being able to enforee them, and fron time totime with such knowledgze to sub- mit to congress such bills for that body to enact into laws” Tn answer to questions Mr, Roberts said that it that long and short haul clause should he construed Iiterally the r from more distant parts of the country be advanced and this will tend to retard slopment of the west. ~ All olished and rates will be_chaotie for a intil some asreement is reached by the rent roads.

HaAvFAx, N. 8., Jan. 20.—Av about 9: o'clock last night, at Unper Prospect, cries of distress were heard off shore, but no siz. of a distressed vessel could be discovered through the darkness and the boisterous sea rendered any attempt at rescue an impos bility, 'Ihe cries continued for a time, L quite distinetly.

NATIONAL FORESTRY CIRCLE, State Treasurer Twombly to Be Hon- ored at a Tree Planting in Florida—An Anselmo Man Buried Alive, The Press Roetracts, Drs Mors Jan. 26,—[Special Tele- gram to the J=Some time ago the charge was made by the Iowa City Press,and repeated throughout the state, that Mrs, J. Ellen Foster, the noted temperance leader, had been paid £1,000 by the republican state central committee in 1579 to prevent separate politieal action by the prohibitionists. The Press claimed to have in its possession stolen letters which It was alleged substantiated the charge, but after further examination it de- nies the charge, and in to-day’s issue the fol- lowing explanation appears: Reasons hiave been presented the Press to show that in the campaign of 1879 Mrs, J. Ellen Foster did not_directly nor indirectly receive §1,000, nor any other sum, as a consideration for onting the nomination of a “temperance’” ticket. Iteasons, not vroof, have been glven, The fogicians will agree that a_negative cannot be proved in such a ease, Ouly the affirma- tive can be disproved. ‘The manner ot pro- curing theso reasons and the cireumstances under which they are given preclude a de- tailed account. Sufficient to say, they are not from Mrs. Foster nor any meniber of the committee of 1870, and that they are suf- ficient to convince the Press that she did not receive any sim. It was said that were the unpublished correspondence of the commit- tee of 1579 printed, it would show how groundicss wers the charges against her. That correspondence may never be_ printe but the Press Is satisfied and for itselt ae: quits Mrs. Foster in the matter.

Yesterday afternoon Lud Cornish called at the house of John Green, a respecta- ble farmer. At the time the only persons about the house were Mrs. Green and her two daughters, Lulu, aged eighteen, and Jennie, aged sixteen, Cornish entered the sitting room and engaged the ladles in conversation, A few wmoments after his entrance the mother left the room. She had been out a very brief time, when a pistol shot, quickly followed by another report.came from the sitting room, where she had left the girls and the wan, A screa ol- lowed the reports and the sound of a body falling to the floor.

It was whispered that nine councilmen had agreed to vote for the ordinance in the form presented on Tuesday night, thus giving the strect railway company the sweeping privileges that scem to be de- ired, This rumor was discredited, how- ever, when sey of the councilmen who were supposed to be “‘on the lisg’ were seen to object to the proposed ordi- nance on the ground that the interests of the city were not sufliciently guarded therein, A caucus wus held and the fol- lowing additional section agreed upon, as section 8: ‘The tracks over and along said viaduct and the approaches thereto shall be used by such otlier horse railway companies as the mayor and council shall, by ordinance, grant the right 80 to doi upon such terms and con ditions as may, by ordinance, be preseribed. The mecting was then ealled to order, all of the councilmen being present. The special committee presented a report ro ommending the passage of the ordinance with the amendment agreed upon. On motion of Mr. Lee the n‘]vm(\\':lJ:\ilI”]ml! the table temporarily and called up with the ordinance. When the ordinance was taken up, Mr, Lee moved an additional amendment providing that for the first five years the Omaha Horse | company shall pay an annual rent #10, and that thereafier all rs using the viaduct shall pay such ann rental as may be provided by ordinanc Tins anmendment was agreed upon and adopted, and o recess of ten minutes taken to give time for the copymg of the amendment into the ordinance. Mr. Lee asked City Attorney Connell to make the neee. y addition, “L objeet!” roared Mr, Lowry. jeet seriously to the cit his hands on that ording 3 “Iam surprised at any member of the council objecting to city attorney’s sup- ervision of any legal enactment,” said Mr. Lee. Further cr The “I ob- ttorney putting at all.” re was prevented by the Clerk South recess and Ci rd wrote the additional section to the charter. fter the amendment had been duly embodied in the ordinance, Mr. Kaspar the opinion of the city attorne, amended measure, This brougnt Mr. Lowry to his feet with suother objection, He said he had heard enough on the subjeet from the ity attorney. here scemed to be 1 general desire for Mr. Connell’s opinion he stated that the main defects in the proposed ord! nance had been remedied by the amend- ments and that the city's interests were y well guarded. He thought an ad- ditional provision should be made gi the council the authority to regulate running of cars on the viaduet. He was in favor of being as liberal with corpe tions as possible, but at the same time wanted to sce the city'sinterests properly protected. Mr. Lowry was up again. He said that the street car company was not clamos ing for the passage of the ordinance. The citizens living south of the tracks were urging the measure. ‘I had hoped,” he said, vehemently, ‘“‘that the men who had promised to stay by me on this measure. It is high time that we put on our coats and go home when the members change their minds at the dic- tation of the press and outsiders. A r port has been spre: was owned.

If the street car company will not aceept a right of way in which the city’s interests are guarded there are other street companies ready for organization that will,” After some further discussion the re- port of the commttee was adopted und the ordinance passed as amended, An ordinance ordering the construction of sewers in sewer district No. 82, was read and referred to the committee on sewerage. A petition of A, J. Poppleton and J. M. Woolworth asking the council to vaeate certain streets and alleys in_ Sul- phur Springs addition for the use of the elt railway, was referrea to the com- mittee on grades and grading, after whi Lee's motion to *‘adjourn right away” was adopted. 3 CHALLENGE, The Champion of Canada W Meet Prince. Mr. T. W. Eck, the champion bicyclist of Canada, and one of the best known wheelmen in the country, arrived in the city yesterday from St. Louis, aceom- panted by his backer, Mr. Carlisle, where he has been for several weeks.

FIELD AND ARM, Making Good Milker Letter in P ical Farmer: No matter what breed you have, something further is necessary in order to reach «the best succoess in raising good milkers. Good blooa, whether Shorthorn, Jersey,Devon, Ayrshire, grade or native, is not every- thing, but hes at the foundation. Some thing cannot come from nothing, Treat ment in ing a milker should be some- what different from that in raising a beet animal or an aniv for labor. Begin as soon as the calf is a day old; see that it has suflicient toeat and is kindly treated and regularly attended to. Never pamper or overfeed, but give it good, generous food, to eause a regular,early and stoady growth. Accustom it to be handled, but not to such an extent as to acquire objee- tionable habits as a cow, but rather to be fond of the presence of the Kkeeper, Kindness helps to_create a quict disposi- tion so important in dairy cow, and this education must begin when the calf is young Any habits acquired when young are apt to eling to the cow when grow R For o milker I would have the heifer comein at two years old. She is then old enough to become a cow. 1 would 1 rule, allow her to go farrow, to within a few weeks of ealving, even if Ldid not obtain but a lit- tle at o milking, A cow thus trained will ive more milk and be more likely to ol out long in milk if her after eare is judicious and libe it should be, Such treatment tends to form the habit of giv- g milk, and, as we know, habitisa sort of sccond nature. Couple the heifer with an_older bull—one two or three ) older than she is is preferable to a y not, ns but milk her u ling—and better stock is_likely to come from such. After the heifer has come m, her feed should be regular and liberal. ood clover hay is the best of all, but we all may not have this for stall feed, then we must make up for what is Iacking in some concentraied food, such as oat- weal, shorts, oilmeal or the like, but great eare and good judgment must be used not to overfeed or crowd, as the future cow may be ruined. Undue for- cing shortens the useful life of the cow rapidly. Exposure of Sheep.

Lecomotion is a very diflicult mat- ter for poultry when the snow is deep, and the hens will often suffor from hune ger rather than undergo the task of trave eling in the snow. After cleaning away the snow sprinkle ashes on the ground, and change the drinking water frequently to prevent it freczing. Some one wants to know how much to feed 100 fowls, In winter give them in the morning six quarts of warm feed, at noon the same amount of wheat or oats, and in the evening all the corn they will run after. This is about the correct amount for laying hens, If they being fattened feed them three times a day all they will eat up clean.
