L ABOR'S ROW WITH JENKINS
[be
Has Been Misconstrued.
Tbe Legal Battle for a modification of
the Ruling Begun at Milwaukee.
The Judge Denies That He Intended
to Prevent the Men from Quitting
Work. But He Draws a Distinction
Between Quitting and Striking.
Milwaukee, Wis.. March 2.—The legal
battle for the modification of Judge Jen
kins strike order was begun in the
United States circuit court this morning.
Attorney Harper began by calling atten
ti : to the petition of the receivers on
V Y , h the injunction was granted, that
uY men were preparing to resist reduc
tions of wages. Mr. Harper
insisted that the receivers’ peti
t - - was improper as it did not
5 w that irreparable injury would be
done to the Northern Pacific prop
er; The petition showed, on its
fa,-,, that the men were leaving
ti..> service of the Northern Pacific,
an 1 about to leave for the lawful purpose
of imposing an unjust schedule of wages.
Ihe men were not striking to cripple the
r ,;Vi. as alleged b.v the receivers. Mr.
Harper said: "This is the first time any
t rt has gone to the extent that this
court did.”
1 think you are mistaken,” interrupted
Judge Jenkins.
Mr. Harper repeated his assertion, and
added; "Under no circumstances should
your honor have granted this injunction,
in the Toledo and Ann Arbor case,” said
Mr Harper, "Judges Tafft and Kicks ad
mitted the men's right to strike.”
■ Who has ever questioned that right?”
asked Judge Jenkins.
HAKI’EK MAINTAINS HIS POINT.
Mr Harper held that the injunction for
bade the men even talking about quit
ting. Mr. Harper claimed it was a right
of tHe men to work on or to quit as they
saw lit and no law could prevent their
free choice. He said he was employed
bv the chief railroad organization. He
represented 821,000 men, and not alone the
Northern Pacfiio employes. This was a
vita! question with all.
The court asked what counsel meant by
a strike.
Mr. Harper said; “Simply a quitting.”
"No, sir.” said Judge Jenkins. “A
strike is a stopping of work to enforce a
certain demand. It is the same as a lock
out. when used as a weapon to enforce a
certain demand.”
After Mr. Harper. ,T. V. Quarles spoke
on behalf of the employes, arguing on the
law question. It appeared during his
argument that the men are working for
the Northern Pacific fearing to quit on
account of the injunction.
HAVE THE RIGJT TO QUIT.
Judge Jenkins said the in unction did not
forbid them quitting. He said "the men
have not the right to combine and con
spire with a view to enforcing demands,
to compel compliance to their domands by
saying, ‘We shall cease work and you
shall be iniured so that you shall have to
comply,’ without having an honest inten
tion to quit. If the employes want to
quit and go to Texas or elsewhere, singly
or in groups, they have the right to
do so.”
Here one of the labor chiefs in court said
excitedly: "That's what we want to
do.” Six chiefs of railway orders were
in court—Messrs. Arthur, Ramsey, Sar
gent, Kolfe. Clark, and Bodman: also Re
ceivers Oakes and Payne, and their at
torneys- Kx-Senator Spooner of Wiscon
sin, and McNaught of New York.
RAIL BANDITS FOILED.
They Fired 100 Bullets Into a Train
As It Rushed by Them.
St. Joseph, Mo., March 2.—Another at
tempt was made to-niprht to rob a Rock

he made this discovery. He pulled
tho throttle wide open, and the tireman
jumped to the t.oor of the cab just in time,
i he train dashed through amid a perfect
shower of bullets, the bandits wild with
rage tiring into the coaches as they passed,
and creating consternation among the pas
sengers, who crawled down under the
s<-ats and hid their valuables. When the
train reached Stockbridge it was found
that over one hundred bullets had hit it.

INDIA’S DEFICIT.
Exemption of Yarns and Fabrics
From the New Duty Objected To.
Calcutta. March 2.—The government's
proposal to meet the deficit by ageneral
5 per cent, ad valorem duty on imports,
including silver and doubling the duty on
petroleum, as announced by Finance
Minister Westland at the sitting of the
vice regal council yesterday, excites very
little comment, but the proposal
to exempt cotton yarns and fab
rics has aroused great indignation.
The Indian press and public are unani
mous in condemnation of the proposal, the
general opinion being that the exemption
will incite a dangerous feeling of bitter
ness and discontent, and subjugate the in
terests of India to those of a small
coterie of Lancashire manufacturers. The
government expects that the new imports
will yield an annual revenue of 14,000,000
rupees.
SILVER’S WEAKNESS.
London, March 2.—The weakness of sil

dition who are doubtful.

Koenigs berg tfyis evening concerning the
Russo-German commercial treaty. He
said that the treaty should be passed to

other reason. Prince Bismarck

rejection of the treaty would mean war
with Russia. The Reichstag commission,

A DYIRGI WOMAN’S REQUEST.
Wanted Her Ashes Scattered From
the Top of Washington Monument.
Washington Corresponden.e Chicago Record.
The other day a man came into the
office of Col. Wilson, superintendent of
public buildings and grounds, and com
plained that the policemen at the Wash
ington monument had interfered with his
plans, and had treated him in a brutal
manner. He presented a letter of intro
duction from the representative from his
district certifying to his good character
and intentions. When Col. Wilson asked
liim to explain his difficulty, he pulled
out of a satchel a glass jar, such as they
put preserves in, and said in a soiemn
voice: “This jar contains the ashes of
my wife.”
Col. Wilson started back in astonish
ment. “What on earth are you and, ing
with them hew:;’' he exclaimed.
“I went up to tlje top of the monument,”
he replied, “intending to scatter these
ashes to the four winds of heaven, but
was prevented from doing so by the police
man. 1 argued awhile with him, but he
said that I must come here for permis
sion.”
■■Well, sir.” replied Col. Wilson, “the
Washington monument was not erected
for cranks to use in carrying out any
such outlandish notions. "
“It is not an outlandish notion.” replied
the visitor. “Itt,w#s the dying request of
my wife. For years before her death stye
often expressed the wish that when her
end came her body might be cremated

A Congressman’s Shorthand Notes.
From the Washington Post.
Gentlemen who passed by tho desk oc
cupied by Representative Hitt before his
speech on the Hawaiian resolution was
delivered might have noticed a bundle of
memoranda the characters of which were
wholly unintelligible to the average ob
server. They were, in fact, shorthand
notes. It may not be generally known
that Mr. Hitt prepared for his career
in public life by a course of reporting,
rising to the highest rank in the profes
sion. Mr. Hitt reported the famous
debate between Lincolu and Douglas in
1856. and later was employed in reporting
various official proceedings at the national
capital and elsewhere. One of the most
notable of these was the Frem h arms in
vestigation by a committee of the Senate.
For a number of years he was private sec

capacity reported many of the speeches

THE EARL WHO WON BYRON’S
ADA.
“Childe Harold’s” Son-in-Law Has
Died, Forgotten by ths World.
From the St. Louis Republic.
The first Earl of Lovelace recently died
in England at the age of 88 years. His
death would have passed with the most
casual notice but for one incident in his
life. He was the son-in-'aw of Byron.
He was the husband of Ada, Lord By
ron's only daughter—“ Ada. sole daughter
of m.v house and heart,” as she is cele
brated in "Cnilde Harold.”
She died years ago, and as far as the
man who made her his wife, he was as
utterly dead to the world at large for the
past two generations as she.
Yet, for almost half a century, he was
lord lieutenant of Surrey, anil lived a
quietly active lifo in discharging his civic
duties. In the details of county govern
ment he was most prosaically energetic
to the last of his days, and in his 86th
year this son-in-law of “Childe Harold,”
who had himself painted in Greek cos
tume after Lord Bryon as a crusader
went out among the downtrodden Greeks
to free them—and die among them—was
elected an alderman of the county, and
frequently traveled all night iu order to
attend important meetings.
The trouble between Lord and Lady
Bryon had already begun when Ada,
The child of love—though born In bitter
ness, and nurtured in convulsion,
made her appearance in this world Dec.
10. 1815. Augusta Ada was her full name,
the former being given in honor of her
aunt and godmother, the Hon. Mrs.
Leigh.
She seems to have been the only link in
the very slight chain that held Byron to
his wife. Hut even that, soon snipped.
i Once in awhile after Byron's desertion of
Ada's mother he would write to the
mother of the child to make inquiries af
ter the little girl.
There is no doubt that Byron's heart
went out towards Ada. and that he longed
to hear from her.even though he could not
see her. Byron’s half sister, Augusta
Leigh, was used as the medium through
which he could get news both of the
1 child’s health and character. Augusta
j asked the questions for her brother and
; Lady Byron answered them.
There is not much known of Ada. She
i does not seem to have shotvn any of her
j lathir’s literary genius nor her mother's
1 peculiarities of temper. When she was
[ old enough she married Lord Lovelace,
j who was five years her senior, and whose
death brings these things again to mind
j after all these years.
Although very little is known of Lord
I Lovelace in this country, he was a man ol
’ no ordinary ability, and seems to have had
! his distinguished father-in-law’s passion
i for Greece. He took the gold medal for
j oratory at Cambridge, and entered upon
I public life as soon as be left college, when
nfc was appointed secretary of the Indian
! Islands Commission, of which Lord Nu-
I gent was the head. For his services in
connection with this commission, Mr.
King-No. who bad succeeded his father
as the eighth Baron King in 1883, was
created Vis, tint Ockham and Earl of
Lovelace in !sSB.
Lord Lovelace was a man of many at
tainments. Hew equally interested in
| architecture, forestry, engineering and
practical local government; and in his
I early days he had given much attention
to Oriental research, had traveled up the
Nile at a time when such a expedition
was uncommon for Europeans, had a fluent
command of modern Greek, and knew in-
timately men like Mehcmet Ali, who
played a notable part in Eastern affairs
When a commoner he had sat in Parli
ment for Knaresborough. then a pocket
borough, and the year following his eleva
tion to the peerage he moved the address
in the House of Lords, where lie became a
strong advocate of the repeal of the corn
law.
Lord Lovelace’s interest in science was
very varied. He was a Fellow of tho
Royal Society, and received the Telford
silver medal from tho Institute of Civil
Engineers and a diploma from the Society
of Civil Engineers m Franco. Asa prac
tical architect he had marked taste and
originality and he delighted in bridge
building and roadmaking on his own es
tates. He was descended from Henry
VII. through Lady Catherine Grey, sis
ter of Lady Jane Grey, and he was great
great-great-grand-nephew, on tho ma
ternal side, of John Locke.
By his marriage with the Hon. Augusta
Ada Byron he had three children—Wil
liam, Lord Ockham, who died in 1865.
Ralph. Lord Wentworth, the present
Earl of Lovelace, and Anne Isabella, who
married Mr. Wilfrid Scawen Blunt.
A grandson and a grandaughter of
Ixird Byron are still living, but his
mantle has fallen upon neither one of
them. i. :i, * -
INSECT PESTS AT THE WORLD’S
FAIR.
Prof. Riley Corrects Exaggerated and
Sensational Newspaper Reports.
From the New York qua.
Washington, Feb. 12.—Prof. C. V.
Riley, entomologist of the department of
agriculture, issued a bulletin to-day in
regard to the insects in the foreign ex
hibits of the world's fair. He says that,
beginning with the first week of October
and continuing at intervals up tb date, a
number of newspaper articles have ap
peared bearing upon the subject of the
insect-infested grain exhibits.
From these accounts, nearly all of
which arc more or less erroneous, all
sorts of opinions have become prevalent
as to the ultimate danger of the introduc
tion of now and undesirable insect pests.
Indeed, he says, some newspapers, espe
cially in New York, have seemed to take
delight in magnifying the danger and in
reflecting upon Chicago and the exposi
tion, and have even used a report made by
him to W. J. Buchanan, chief of the de
partment of agriculture of the exposition,
and reproduced it as a basis for exagger
ated and sensational articles. Under the
circumstances, he thinks a full and truth
ful statement of the facts may serve a use
ful purpose.
In the first newspaper accounts which
appeared, the damage was with great
uniformity attributed to "the weevil.”
which, with equal uniformity, was said
to be a now species introduced into
tho agricultural building in some of the
foreign exhibits. For the benefit of the
general reader, Prof. Riley says, it should
be stated that while there are but two
true grain weevils knowu to be established
in this country, viz. : the rice weevil (cal
andra oryzac) and the grain weevil (c.
granariai, a score or two of other insects
which attack grain after the manner of
calandra are of common occurrence with
us, and several of them are popularly but
erroneously known as grain weevils.
Last July Prof. Riley wrote to one of
his assistants at Chicago, F. H. Critten
den, to keep a lookout for new insects in
the foreign grain exhibits, and this was
done throughout the summer and fall. Of
tho early species found, represented
chiefly by dead spo imeris taken from jars
of herbs, roots, seeds, and the like, he says
a few were indeed new. but the living in
sects all proved to be of common and well
known species.
Toward the close of September many
species not hitherto observed began to
make their appearance in such numbers
in the agricultural building as to cause
very general alarm among the exhibitors
of agricultural products. Correspon
dence was had with the division, and
specimens sent by ono of the state com
missioners all proved to be well known
species already existing ip this country.
The work of investigation was kept up,
and Prof. Riley details the action that
was taken by the various slate commis
sioners as by the United States govern
ment authorities and the foreign repre
sentatives. The results of the inquiry
were set forth at the time, but in view of
the recent exaggerated reports Prof, Ri
ley now repeats that only four foreign
species of any consequence were found.
He thus concludes his bulletin:
“The four species already mentioned as
those from which the greatest danger
was to be apprehended, viz: the unknown
species of cryptophagidse. litargus, dlnod
erus. and spermophagus, are tropical spe
cies. anil could hardly be acclimated at
the north. One or more of them might
have become established in the extreme
southern states if they had escaped, but I
do not hesitate to say, considering all
the facts, that the probabilities of such a
contingency are slight, and that no spe
cies which atlect stored grain or Other
vegetable products have been distributed
or have found a foothold In rogions whore
they could multiply and become injurious.
On the whole, therefore, it may be confi
dently stated that a thorough review of
the tacts gives assurances that uodanger
ous introductions were male for, even if
some of tho species indicated as not pre
viously fouDd within our borders should
become established, thev are of such a
nature ns not to compare with the nioro
■ osmopolitnn and injurious species whn h
already affect our grain and which we al
ready hare to contend with.”
POLICEMAN NEVE’S FAMILY.
The Morning News Suggests a Sub
scription for Their Assistance.
There is no nobler death than that
which befalls a man while in the dis
charge of his duty. Policemen are tho
watchful guardians of the lives and prop
erty of their fellow citizens. They are
constantly exposing themselves to danger,
and now and then one of them sacrifices
his life in serving the public.
J. C. Neve, one of the bravest and most
efficient members of Savannah's police
force, was shot to death Saturday by a
worthless negro, a fugitive from justice,
whom he had been ordered to arrest.
A widow and young children mourn for
him. They have been deprived not only
of one who was dear to them, but also of
a protector and their sole source of sup
port.
They should not be permitted to suffer
from want. Policeman Neve did not hesi
tate to rislt his life to protect the interest*
of the people of Savannah, and they
should not hesitate to extend a helping
hand to those who were dependent upon
him. ,
On the suggestion of the Morn
ing News the mayor has ap
pointed a committee to solicit sub
scriptions from Savannah’s citizens to a
fund to aid Mrs. Nevo and her children.
Those who wish to contribute to the fund
at once can send their names with the
amounts they wish to give to the Morn
ing News, and their subscriptions will bo
acknowledged in the columns of this
paper. Sums for small amounts, fractions
of sl, will be received and acknowledged.
