ENGINEERS OF STATIONARY ENGINES JUST DOING UNTO OTHER8 AS \V ABHINGTON, Feb. 7.- For tho past few days a Cincinnati artist has been here carrying a letterbox under his arm that tifid every appearance of an infernal machine. On more than one occasion the young man has been taken for a crank. For two days he has been under poltco espionage and was at last compelled to exhibit the contents of the mysterious box. Instead of its being a dangerous contrivauce it proved to be only a simple and harmless detective camera, such as are used by amateur photographers, which he had: been cart-ying around the city for the purpose of using 0:1 the prominent pnblic men and theii' wives. He was at the White Hou«e with his machine, but was not allowed to take it beyond the vestibule. He was desirous of securing an instantaneous photograph of Mrs. Cleveland at her reception.

There were few meu on the streets, the police and special officers obtained much needed rest. At tho Netherlands American Steamship company's wharf at Jersey City' about 100 men, mostly foreigners, were unloading the steamer Edam. They were very slow, but strong and willing to work.

As Far aft They Have Boon ldenC Mr. Dunbar sa'v his taster off safely, and the first intimation he had of the accident was a notice in the Produce Excliango in Boston.

And, It Is Claimed, That Many Give It Up. South Axboy, N. J., Felx 7.—Another secret meeting of the striking coal handlers was held here yesterday and very largely attended. The strikers expressed their disgust at the manner in which they have been treated by the Knights of Labor, wh« had promised, they said, to protect them against having their places filled by "scab" workmen. But sines the strike began Hv men have been secured by tho coal companies until now they have nearly all the men they want They claim that the Knights of Labor have not given them the protection that they promised. Some of the strikers said that it was time to look out for -their own families, and several of them said that they would apply for work. tilled. The Uflt of Rilled Thought to be Ovei Secretary Manning says American Ashing rights are defined by the treaties of 1783 and 1818, and our fisherman have a right to fish on a portion of the coasts of the British colonies of North America as absolute and perfect as is their right to fish on the high seas, while on other portions of these coasts we have renounced the liberty which we have enjoyed till 1818 to catch, dry or cure fish. It is assumed that the United States are content with their existing rights of fishing on Canadian coasts if those treaties are faithfully kept It is also assumed that this government will not protect American fishermen found knowingly fishing on forbidden Canadian coasts, but will, if necessiary, punish any vessel thus flshfhg. In respect to commercial privileges for our fishing vessels in Canadian porta, the situation is very different. The treaty of 1818 secured to our fisherman 'admission to Canadian bayB or harbors for purposes of shelter or repairs, or for wood or water, but few no other purpose whatever. This, the secretary says, should not be called commercial rights; they are rights of humanity and decency, to refuse which is an aot of barbarism fit only for savages. Our complaint is not that the restrictions enforced by Canadian statutes and officials is a restriction of our commercial buildings, but a violation of our fishing rights, secured by treaty.

There was no attempt made to interfere witn them. t* Couple Die In Kacli Other's Arms—A Sunday morning the artist stationed himself at the door of Dr. Sunderland's church to await the arrival pf the presidential carriage, recognizing that this would doubtless be his only- opportunity of securing a photograph of the president's wife in street costume. It was not long until the carriage arrived at the church door containing the president and Mm Cleveland. As the party alighted the artist set the mechanism of the mysterious box in motion and it was performing its work. Mra Cleveland saw the artist and the box. Son's Farewell Message to His Mother. Herole Keseuers Powerless to Save. NAMES OF THE VICTIMS. White River Junction, Vt., Feb. 7.—The story of Saturday's dreadful railroad accident may woll lead those who travel to refiect it] on the insecurity of life. The storiss -of some of the aurvivors give a vivid picture of the sad scene. Mr. Henry W. Tewksbury, of West Randolph, Vt, a lecturer, states that he was in the- first day ooach. He was dozing at the tim V "but was aroused by feeling the ear jumping upon the railroad ties. He has been in two railroad accidents before this and knew what this sensation portended. Realizing that an accident was about to occur he jumped from his seat •elth the intention of making his escape. The train soomed to come to a standstill or go very slowly. He thought it was all right aud so sat down again. Then, without a moment's warning that anything further was to occur, tho car seemed to leap into space and then came a terrible crash. For a moment he was stunned and scarcely knew whether he was dead or alive. He tried to move but could not budge an inch. He noticed with great alarm that fire had broken out at tho further end of the car. He struggled wil h all his strength to free himself and screamed for help, but there was none at hand to help him. It was a time of mental torture, but still he coulil not help noticing an old couple who were a few seats above him. They sought to get out, but they were hopelessly tied down by heavy seats. The flames approached the couple with frightful rapidity, and the aged pair seemed to appreciate that there was no hope for ttiein. The last he saw of them , they wei-e locked in each others arms and were kissing eaoh other a fond good-by o.i this earth to meet In another world. Then the smoke and flames enveloped them and hid them from Mr. Towks- Tlie Killed and Injured as far as Aicer- tallied In the Feunsylvafcia yards tho truckmen and switch tenders were at work in the freight yard, as the engines were drilling freight cars in position for work. No freight was received or delivered, the green hands having lieeti laid off for the day. They returned this morning. Three hundred Italians were |p(Ken by train from tho Brie docks to spend Sunday in Newark, and thus be out of the way of Jersey City strikers. Below is a list of those who have been killed and injured so far as their names have been ascertained: That feeling seems to be the general sentiment of the men. While every effort was made to preserve the secret business of the meeting, enough was learned to say that the men will ask to be taken back and placed in their former positions. But in going back they want to do so in a body. Killed—Identified: Conductor G. C. Sturtevant; Ed. F. Dillon, Dartmouth; S. 8. Westcott. Burlington; Frank L "Wesson, Springfield, Mass.; D.

In a moment she appreciated the Situation. As quick as thought she wreathed her face with Rtniles, looked at the young man and the box, which he still held half concealed under his arm, bowed politely as if to thank him for his enterprise and passed into the Church. The president also saw the machine and looked displeased. After the sermon had begun the artist seated himself in the church gallery and succeeded in getting three excellent photographs of Mrs. Cleveland and the president as they appeared in. church. The Rev. Deane Kelly, pastor of St Joseph's Roman Catholic church, of South Amboy, which is largely attended by coal workers, preached on the subject of "Strikes." The reverend gentleman said after the sermon that the men of his parish had used no violence while they were on strike, and strongly urged them to refrain from it in the future. * , In the vicinity of the yards of this company there were no signs of trouble. At tho Delaware, Lackawanna and Western- Railroad company's yards no work is done on Sunday, and the coal cars were idle.

Business has increased at the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railaoad company's freight houses during the past week and a large amount of freight has been handled. Three extra trains of freight have lieen sent out nearly every night. One of the officials said yesterday: TO MARRY A CHINAMAN After a minute review of our commercial privileges, he concludes that it is not in regard to any of these that the issue arises. The secretary believes that Great Britain may, if believing it to her interest to withdraw from the agreement of 1830, which was an international bargain and contract Solemnized and attested. The royal assent given by the queen on Nov. 86, 1888, to the Canadian act entitled, " an act to further amend th» act respecting fisheries by foreign vessels," contemplates the seizure and forfeiture of American vessels under circumstances which we claim to be in violation of the treaty of 1818, and this act is a repeal and annulment by England of the arrangement of 1880, and to that repeal we are entitled to respond by a similar repeal of our own law and by a refusal hereafter, and while debate or legislation goes on to confer hospitality or any privileges whatever in our porta on Canadian vessels or boats of any sort A violation of oomity may be looked upon as an unfriendly act, but not a cause for a just war. England may judge of the nature and extent of the comity and courtesy she will show to us. In this case we do not retaliate, but simply respond, suspending oomity and hospi taitty. The secretary adds that tie only question is as to the character of the response which would be beet in keeping with the interests and dignity of the United States. He suggests several defects in the bill which recently passed the senate. OUR CITIZEN SOLDIERY. A Graduate of Amherst to Roto a MelK Uncle Sam Not Wholly Without Means ean Wife. Wabhikotow, Feb. 6.—A letter from the secretary of war to the house of representatives states that the aggregate territorial militia is IDS,000, the aggregate state militia 7,46!),593 and the grand aggregate 7,655,592. Tho war department, it is understood, intends in the future to look more carefully after the interests of the militia, as it is in that direetkm the government will have to look for protection in the event of war. The appropriation for the maintenance of the militia this year is sufficiently large to provide the force with better arms and equipments, it having recently been increased from 1300,000 to 9400,000 per annum. The officials of the department are well satisfied with the idcrease of the militia. The reports for the year just ended show an increase of about 10,000 in the organized branch pf the militia force and nearly 1,000,000 lh tho unorganised. There are now oyer 91.000 militiamen in a state of thorough organization, and arnoted above more than 7,000,000 available for military serrioe. of Pefence. Washington, Feb. 7.—The mystery concerning two ladies who have appeared so conspicuously in public as the honored guests of the Chinese legation has been solved by a friend of one of the attaches of the legation. He says the younger lady M tho fiancee of Mr. Liang, one of the interpreters of legation. She is the daughter of a New York family. Her companion here in town is Mrs. James Lewis, wife of the theatrical manager. Mr. Liang is a graduate of Amherst college. He speaks English well. He is an enthusiastic baseball player and was a member of the Amherst nine when in college. He is one of the handsomest members of the legation. He is fully six feet in height, with broad shoul- deep chest and well formed, athletic body. He has a pleasant face, which is smooth shaven and a clear olive in color. His hair is jet black. He wears the queue reaching almost to the bottom of his blue silk skirts. He wears the most delicate shade of blue brocaded (ilk. When be was in oollegehe wore the dress of modern civilization, but he was obUged to return to the Chinees dress after leaving school. "It looks now as if our old men had made a great mistake. They admitted that they had no grievances and were getting pay for a fair day's work. Counting overtime, and all 6f them did extra work, they averaged from f.W to $70 a month. Many of them were brought up in the yard, some of the fathers having three sons working there. They simply struck because their trades union officers had ordered them to 'go out,' and the; did not dare to disobey. "The new men are fast learning the business, and when the old hands wont to come back they will find that 85 per oent. of tliem cannot get places.

Terry were discharging coal from a steamer into canal boots. Capt Terry imports the coal and hns contracts to supply it to steamers in this port. Here, as elsewhere, the men were quiot and the police were resting. The Spanish minister having been credited in an interview with using the expression that "reprisals iare the most effective method by which the American ean at-last be shown the consequences," and with favoring "a policy of eoeroion," explains that by coercion he did not meaa gnnpowdar and by reprisals he did not mean freebooters. He simply said that if the long promised reciprocity treaty were not quickly concluded he would recommend the Spanish government to withdra# from the United States government the commercial advantages which it now receives at the hands of Spain, and thkis be would quicken this goveranient to fulfill tho promise so long delayed. There is a complicated etiquette relating to the wives of the Chinese offlcial#to which an American woman would not submit. It is probable that Mr. Liang, when married, will live outside of the legation. Mr. Tung Wing, a former attache of the legation, who married an American Wife, lived in a separate house from the legation building. He presents the oommittee with the follow' ing bill: . The bill which he submits Is preceded by a preamble setting forth that the rights of our fishermen have been persistently violated; that no redress has been granted, and that by recent legislation Canadian non-intercourse with American fishing vessels for general purposes of trade has been established. . NON-UNION MEN A FEW MORE WEEKS Captured In New York and Made Into For Oonirtu to Dispose of Much Import- Knights. ant Business. New York, Feb. 7.—Sunday was a quiet day for the strikers and all concerned in the great strike, It was said that the number of strikers was likely to be increased to-day by a strike of the stationary engineers em-' ployed in the factories, mills, hotels and public buildings. They met last night, but declined to tell what they would do. Washington, Feb. 7.—There remains of the Forty-ninth congress but twenty-three working days. At noon on three weeks from next Friday this limitation will expire and the terras of those elected to the Fiftieth congress will begin, with all the salary, perquisites, power, etc. There to • great deal of work to be accomplished in theee twentythree days; quite as much, were the first session of congress just beginning, as would be accomplished in as maay weeks. Not half of tho labor on the appropriation bills has been performed in oomraittee of the whole in both houses. This extraordinary press of business to be accomplished necessarily makes predictions of the proceedings very much less reliable than under ordinary circumstances, The best that can now be done or hopeil for will leave much important business unfinished and thousands of private bills go by default.The bill provides that upon proof that the rights, privileges or liberties of American vessels in Canadian ports, waters or coasts have been|denied or restricted, the president shall, by proclamation, close the ports of the United States to Canadian vessels and British vessels from Canadian ports, and exclude merchandise, locomotives, trains, etc., from Canada and enforce his proclamation by seizures, forfeitures and penalties, and qualify, limit, l-escind or renew any part of his proclamation at his discretion, and appoint a commission to ascertain the losses and injuries indicted upon American vessels and oitiaens engaged in the fisheries by British or Canadian authority or sanction. The reply of Secretary Bayard to a somewhat similar request is promised for to-day. It is also understood that recant correspondence with the British government called for by a resolution of Mr. Belmont, ante-dating this correspondence, is about ready to be presented. The purport of it, it is said, will be meet - interesting and important.A Naw Km la Um OttllV BqMbmw. St. Louis, Feb. 7.—CoL R D, Hunter, the largest cattle owner and dealer in this city, who has Just returned from an extended trip in Texas, says: "There are many reasons given for the present depression in the cattle business, bttt, on the whole, I look for a gradual but steady increase in prices. One of the main factors in the outlook is the introduction to the western ranges of the thoroughbrtdbulls. It was formally the impression that high grade of cattlo would suo■ ciimb to the rigors of the winter, but the idea having bean proven erroneous, the day of the long born Texan has passed.

When they left White River Junction Shull was awake in the sixth berth, about the middle of the sleeper. The first intimation he had of danger was wheu lie felt a jolting, which he knew meant that the car was og the track. Then suddenly he felt a sinking motion, and felt himself thrown against the side of the car. He knew nothing more until after he came to consciousness, and cried out for bis friend James. No answer came. He thought he saw a window above him and he broke the glass, when the snow and water fell in and nearly drowned him. A Montreal man and young Veazy, son of Judge Veazy, came along and helped him out. At this time the car was on fire, and in a few minutea the entire wreck and bridge was in flames. Friend. It was broadly hinted at the headquartera of District No. 49 that the engineers and firemen would strike in every place in which non-union coal was used. A committee representing the strikers left this city last night for Boston for the purpose of inducing the New York and New England railroad men to join the strike. There was considerable activity at the O'-ean association's headquarters yesterday. Three hundred non-union men, who had been induced to abandon the steamship companies during Saturday afternoon and evening, were initiated. James Hurley, of the executive board, received a pile of greenbacks from District No. 49 and he paid them out to the needy men who called.

Nxw Ham, Feb. 7.—An incipient church war is gaining headway in Portland. Not long ago the Young Emerald Temperance society held a dance in their hall, mucbto the dissatisfaction of Father James M.

A few days later three candidates tor admission to the society presented themselves to the priest for the purpose of taking the pledge, but he refused to administer it This led to a breach, which is widening.

The most tareful comparison of estimates by the r.iilroad officials indicates that there were eighty-one persons in the cars which went off the bridge.

Ramsay has been depot «geftt at Sunny Bide for thirty years. During that time Mrs. Ratnsay has saved up for her husband CgbitfeW sum of money. They did not believe in banks, and were afraid to loan out the money, so they had recourse to holes in the ground. Mrs. Ramsay would trade off bar money for $20 gold pieces and bury them in her back yard. Borne time before Christmas she buried $850 there, It was her custom on sunny afternoons, now and then, to unearth her treasure, count it and then bury it again. The old couple ware iiorrifled yesterday morning when they arose to find that some one had been mining for gold during the night. The lucky finders took every dollar of the old lady's savings.

It had decided, not to interfere in bdhnlf of Coughlin, who was arrested on Saturday for beating Freight Superintendent Andrew Johnson, of the Clyde line.

Hl» Talk With Student Dillon as the Latter Died. Dr. 11 ray tells a heartrending story of the death of Edward Frank Dillon, of Springfield, Vt., who was a student in Dartmouth college, and who had more than a local reputation as a baseball pitcher. Dillon and Albion B. Veazy, a son of Judge Veazy, of Rutland, were going up to the house of the latter in Rutland. Dillon was in the class ot 'd!» and Veazy in TO. They took a sleeper together in the Boston car. When the accident happened they both were pinned down with heavy wreckage. They conversed with each other for some time, and Dillon told his companion tbat he was not hurt, but was so Mt-ilreiy imprisoned that he could not move hand or foot When the Are started it burned a beam that lay aci oss Veazy and enabled him to get out. People congregated about poor Dillon and tried 'frantically to release him, bnt car wheels and other material lay across his breast. He talked rationally to thoos -J*ho ware trying to release him. He knew his hour had come and gave his college mate a message to bis mother. He told him to tell bar bow he died; his last thoughts were of her and the sorrow his death would cause her, and he asked her to bear up under tiie trial. The lire came nearer. The efforts of the men who ware trying to save him were unavailing. Piteoasly he appealed to them to release him, yet he knew they could not. A* the Ore reached him he gave one last cry and closed his eyes in death. In the presence of at least a score of men he was burned to death. Of this number was Dr. Bray, who had known Dillon and his family for year*. Dillon was ono of the moat popular students in Dartmouth.

Dublin, Feb. 7.—Twenty moonlighters raided the farm house near Millstreet, county Cork, on Friday, and seized a number of guns, discharging the weapons to intimidate the farmers. They also sheared the hair off the heads of four girls who had disobeyed the league's order not to speak to policemen. At mass at Millstreet the officiating priest denounced secret societies.

Another Seat. The pickets were very active all day and they calculated that they would succeed in keeping about 100 of the non-union men away from work this morning. They hope In this way to cripple the railroad and steamship companies and to make the freight blockade worse than it was on Saturday. They say that this is an easier and cheaper way to bring the strike to a successful end than to oall out out other industries.
