The ladder proved kD be too short, and the convicts were it once tired upon by the guards from the uter wall, but without effect Baffled In their attempt to scale the stone wall, the oonrlota crossed the prison yard to the wood [enoe. By this time the entire prison was in Cn uproar, and all the working convicts, to the number of 275, joined in the rebellion. Their guards tried to club them to their quarters, and all the time the guards on the outer wall kept up a 9re. Warden LaViolette seemed to first become aware of the rebellion when the dash to the wood fence was made, and he rushed out of his office, which is in the oenter of the yard, faced the convicts and was promptly wised and placed between the oonvicte and the fire of the guards. He was wounded neveral times before his position was discovered. The rioters tried to batter down the fence with their hammers and iron bars, but were met with a volley from Deputy Warden Cuimet and a posse on the The villagers now began to arrive on the scene in great numbers, armed with fowling pieces, and realizing the hopelessness of their efforts, the rioters capitulated and were again locked up. So far as known none escaped. Carrivean, one of the ringleaders, was shot dead through the heart Convict Monday was shot through the arm, and Convict Holden, through both cheeks and nose. B ian par lan t, a guard, had tis skull broken with a hammer.

Vian, the leader, has been a desperado for fifteen years, and has served a term for attempting to shoot A. F. Qault, of Qault Brothers, who found him burglarizing' his house in broad daylight while his family was at the seaside. There Hems to be something wrong in the management of the prison, as outbreaks are of frequent occurrence. The total number of persons injured during the revolt was sixteen. It is feared that five at the wounded cannot survive. St Vincent le Patil is the state prison of Quebec province, and is to Quebec what Kingston is to Ontario. It is a place when all long termers are lent and Its inmates number about 960 desperate characters. OoirarAnnuo m, April 90.—All eyes are now turned toward Livadia, the imperial seat in the Crimea, where the cr.*»r is now holding a series of the most no ,cn ojs conferences that have been held iu Europe in many years. The conferees are, beside ths csar, the Russian ministers to Turkey and Greece, various law advisers of his majesty, all'the principal offloersof the general staff Nkw York, April 26.—The police were out in full bloom on Third avenue, from the Harlem bridge to the postofflce, yesterday. The company ran fifty-eight cars out of 800 at irregular intervals, and carried very few passengers. Members of trades unions and their families avoided the road, and the pickets were busy along the avenue asking worklngrasn to try other means of waveL The strikers have depleted the company's new forces, so that the company will be compelled to bestir itself very vigorously to find enough men to drive more than sixty cars today. There were ten cars on One Hundred Twenty-fifth street yesterday. The impression is beginning to grow upon the officials of the company that they have a bigger job on their hands than they expected. They told the railroad commissioners that they expected to have the road in full operation in a week. They have discovered, on .he tenth day of the strike, that the strikers have plenty of money backing them Those who were seen yesterday did not proclaim vigorously that they would never give in. Information has been received that the Young Men's Christian association has been sending to the Third Avenue company to get work.  After the call of the states and territories for the Introduction of bills and committees for reports, the horfse of representatives today resumed consideration of the river and harbor bill. It is the design to complete this bill by Thursday, when the Campbell- Weaver contested election, from the Sixth district of Iowa, will come up. Friday is private bill day and Saturday lias baen set aside far bills from the committee on territories.A Blot oa Sandwiches. Sugggestlons by several papers that yesterday would be a good time for a riot on Third avenue were not adopted. The only lively proceeding the reporter saw in the Sixty-fifth street depot was when 150 men ate np 300 pounds of frlcassed chicken, 7 hams, 144 egp and stacks of hot croes buns within half an hour. Steward Gomperts said that It was costing the company $250 a day to feed the 800 men at work in and outside the depot, and that the Italian stablemen were fed as well as the oonductors and drivers. and the corps which has been assembled in southern and southwestern Russia. King Charles, of Roumanla, and Prince Nicholas, of Montenegro, are also said to be guests at the palace, although they are not present at the imperial councils. of the vast army The new game is apt to prove more successful. Two men working together now learn ths dumb alphabet before they start out. The first man to strike the stranger throws his left hand behind his back, and with the dumb alphabet telegraphs the stranger's Aame and whatever else he has learned to his pal, who is close behind him. In this way the seoond man is able to brace the stranger before the first man has done shaking hands with him, and there is no room left for him to believe that the men are acting together. Then the first man apologises and walks away and the second man works the ttgmger, if he can, on the envelope,' lottery or sawdust game. The bill to organise the territory of Oklahoma will be among those considered. The question which is in the balance at Llvadia is nothing lees than whether there shall be peace or war for nearly the whole of Europe for the next six months. Everybody is now beginning to admit, what the Cable News correspondents have been emphasizing for a month, that the scales whose declination must decide the fate of Europe are held In tiie hand of the Russian autocrat Even the British press, which in its insular ignorance and egotism has been proclaiming that Lord Roseberry and Prince Bismarck are about to settle the whole imbroglio off hand, has hauled in its ridiculous horns and is sitting mute rather than to admit—what it now knows full well—that ths real arbiter of the situation Is England's strongest and wiliest foe. GENERAL STRIKE THREATENED. Employers Have Strikers on' the List. Sensational Announcement. Boyoottlng the Line. Parson's, Kan., April 88.—The Parsons Sun reported an interview with a striker, wherein the latter expressed the opinion that but few people realized what was to occur on the first day of May. Said he: "On that day, as sure as the sun rises, every Knight from Maine to Oregon, and from the Canada line to the gulf will be called out ou a strike." He said that it was absolutely impossible for the railroads to down them, as their strength was almost unbounded, that their ability- did not consist so much in their strength as it did In the Influence they had with the average workingman. A large number of appllcarts appear at the shop office daily, anxious for work, but Master Mechanic Newell says that at present he has all the men he wants. Two strikers who left the city soon after the strike have returned., and state that it is impossible to get • job on any road, aa the first question asked is "Where do you come from," then their names. The master mechanic than turned to a list and their answers are all the same: "We cannot use you, sir." If it had not been for the strike the company would have had the summer cars out yesterday. On Easter day of last year the company had all its oars loiuied with passengers.There is no doubt that the executive committee ha* money enough coming in to care for the men. The members of every local assembly of horse railroad men in New York, Brooklyn and Jersey City have unanimously voted that each one shall contribute one day's pay a week, if necessary, to aid the strikers. They can the bettor afford this because of the recent rise in wages engineered by the Empire association. Taking their numbers at a lCfw estimate at 13,000, and the average day's pay at $1.50 (another low estimate), makes 118,000 • week—a revenue which makes the Empire association no contemptible antagonist in tljp matter of cash with the Third avenue railway company, and will pay good wages to the 1,800 striken. The strikers say that there are 16,000 men, and that the contribution amounts to #35,000 a week. The Broadway roads alone, it is said, are turning over (3,500 weekly. This state of affairs was fruitful of reports that the company would be compelled to come to terms, and the reports gained wider belief when it waa known that several representatives of the company had sought out the counsel for the strikers, Lawyer Ecclesaine, and had a conference with him. Prfcddent Lyon, Vice-President Henry Hart, Directors Hall and Remsen, Treasurer Beaver and Lawyer Lauterbach met in consultation In the depot They were there for several hours. The Central Labor union resolved, on behalf of its many affiliated unions, that no member of any of the unions will ride on the cars until the strike is settled, and that they will persuade their friends not to. THE WHEELMEN. Arranging for a Great Meeting In Boston. The Baker's Progressive society will impose a 93 fine on any of its members caught riding in a Third avenue car. The Piano Maker*1 union, the Bakers' Union No. 1, the Butchers' Protective association, the Executive Association of Engineers and the United Mechanics No. 1 have resolved to boycott the company. Boston, April 2ft—The chairman of the various committees of the League of American Wheelmen have been in session here the past twenty-four hours arranging the programme for the three day's annual meet in this city, May 27-20. It has been decided to devote the first day to a grand reunion, the second to a business meeting and the third day to the races, which will occur on the Union athletic grounds. An elaborate pro' gramme has been arranged, which includes runs to the various resorts in ths city and suburbs, and concerts and dramatics in Mechanics and Music halls. On the morning of the firstday there will be a grand parade with, probably, 1,600 wheelmen in line. This will be followed by a tricycle road race and a hill climbing contest at Corey hill. The business meeting on the second day will either ratify or repudiate the recent expulsion by the racing committee of maker's amateurs. The raoes for the third day include: Mile bicycle race for the nationial championship; mile tricycle raoe tor the national championship; mile bi- Oyele race for the Massachusetts championship; mile and three mile open class races; mile handicap and two mile open raoes. Post entries for these raoss will be received pending the decision on the above mentfcnsd expulsions. A grand banquet will close the meeting. Several thousand dollars have already been raised to meet expenses. It is expected that at least 5,000 whee lmen will attend. The diplomatic conference was held Saturday, and the military council, which will be moje prolonged, was begun to-day. The most intense anxiety prevails to know what occurred at the conference, but its secrets are zealously guarded. I had the good fortune to encounter an attache of the Russian embassy just as he was reading a long dispatch from M. de Nelidoff, the Russian minister, who is at Livadla. As he finished reading the attache said, impulsively, "His majesty is all for war, and the Worst of it is he wants war for the sake of war." In further conversation with the attache I found the meaning of his last phrase. The czar has put in the field the largest army ever raised in Europe lines the Turoo-Russian war, and he must 'find bloody employment for it To disband it now, would be to turn loose upon his own people, a quarter of a million disappointed, disgusted, semi-savage soldiers, who would soon become Nihilsts and take a terrible revenge upon the czar and everything that is Russian. Gen. Prince Dondaurkorf-Korsakoff, whose military advice has great weight with the csar, has already had the courage to tell bis imperial master that he cannot disband the Cossacks of the Don. They are already honeycombed with Nihilism, and such an order would make every man of them a conspirator. Instead of retiring to their own ooomtry they would form in guerilla bands and ravage the country. They would also, beyond a doubt, seek the life of the csar, whom they would contemn as a coward. Thus it comes that the war is irresistibly impelled toward a step which he must regard with aWe, if not with dread, by the very power at the engine he has created. MATTERS AT 8T. LOUia Boycotting Orooers and Barbers—Ston- 8t. Louis, April 36.—The master mechanics of the southwestern system have been notified to be on hand ready to testify next Wednesday before the congressional committee. In East St Louis all trains arc moving as before the strike. A grocery was boycotted in Bast Bt Louis for refusing to stop selling groceries to one of the engineers of the Vandalia road, and a barber refused under threat of boycott to shave one of the militiamen. Theee were the only indications of trouble, but about midnight rocks were thrown at a sentry, and in return he fired a few shots into the darkneas without doing any damage. The firing had the effect of calling o*0 a company of militiamen, but upon learning the cause of the shooting they returned to camp again. Ing Sentinels. A WOMAN IN THE CASE. Two Rivals Battle the Question of As- cendancy. Oka ha, Neb., April 96.—George Davis, watchman in the yards of the Omaha Lumber company, was shot by William Carlan, another watchman, hnd fatally wounded. On account of a girt whom both had been courting they engaged in a bitter quarrel, and separated threatening to see each other again. Davis went out on the street flourishing a revolver and swearing that he would settle Car Ion's fate before night. It was not long until they met face to face in the lumber yard. Davis knocked Carlan down with his revolver and fired two shots at him while be lay on the ground, bat neither took effect Then Carlan drew a weapon and sent two balls into Davis' body, both producing mortal wounds. Davis was taken to the hospital, and Carlan gavs himself up to the police. The latter part of the meeting of the directors was apparently stormy, as the voices of the participants in the debate were distinctly audible in the vestibule. Three different times the carriages of President Lyon and Vice-President Hart, took the President's son and Mr. Hart away from Uw building, and Mr. Hart returned for the last time looking vary much discomposed. He palled out Superintendent Robertson, Treasurer Beaver, and Track Boss Schumacker, and, taking them aside, talked to them half an hour. Ex-President Arthur's Condition. N*w York, April 88.— For the paat three weeks there has been no change whatever in the oondition of ex-President Arthur's health. One who has seen him reoently said: "Ever since Gen. Arthur experienced that relapse •bout a month ago, Or. Peters, his physician, has done everything in his power to build up his patient's strength, but without result On bright, sunny days Mr. Arthur always says that he feels better, but as soon as wet weather comes he grows wane again. It is not the dlssssn which troubles Dr. Peters. He feels oonfldent of his ability to control that What causes his anxiety is to see day follow day and the general as weak as on the day after the relapse. His friends now feel that they can do nothing but hope." '  A NOVEL CRAFT. Going to Sea la a riatboat—An Original Mariner. CHEAPENING NEWSPAPERS.

He also refused to speak of them, except to say that no agreement had been reached.

CONDEN8ED NEWS. "I am glad to be able to state that several associations of skilled labor upon these roads, among them the railway conductors, have, during tbe late troubles, proved their loyalty to this company and their regard for the principles of right and justioe, and, such having been their record, their organisations are entitled to the respect and confidence of railway managers." The Nova Scotian Ashing schooner Unola Sam was born&l aa the banks of Newfoundland. Bar crew were saved.

Yesterday they tried fur the first time to hire drivers in other cities, and expect that a number will arrive this week. A difllculty the company had with some of its new drivers was that they hired themselves out with no intention of sticking to their Jobs, but threw them up after a few days. Horses Die oa the Boa*.
