It is slated that the, erowu princess of Ste-phanie of Germany, widow of Prince Kudolph of Austria, will shortly be be-trothed to the Austrian heir presump-tive, the Areliduko Franz d'Kste.

Ambrose I.epinc, 'o was secretary of war and commander-in-chie- f of the forces under Kiel's pro-visional government of 1 SiO-7-0. ami wa eoiidemueil to bo hanged but was after-ward respited and sentenced to three years iu the penitentiary, has been up pointed to a Dominion government po-sition in the immigration department. This appointment has rained the war blood of the old settler w ho suffered imprisom.eiit ami indignltie at the hands of Kiel and they threaten to nii-- the worst row the Ottawa government has ever hrd to deal vv ith hit his part of (he Dominion. The Orangemen are particularly hos-tile and unless the appointment is forth-with caueelleil they will eall meel tug all over the province and adopt resolu-tion. Scott, the loyalist who was mur-dered by Heil's orders, was tin Orange-man and tin agitation w ill at ont o be commenced to erect a monument to his memory. This Is certain to embitter more ihan ever the race and creed prejudices and the Dominion go em-inent w ill II iid itclf iu hoi water. The grand master of the Orange order says that if the appointment was not revoked the agitation would not stop short of a relielllon, and if it conies to a light, he added, it w ill bo a sorry day for the French and the government' whose treatment of the country is grow-ing mow Intolerant every day. Meetings have been he'ld in Winnipeg and several towns In the territories at which rebellion was advocated. Speeches were made denouncing the government and annexing the north-west without Canada to the t'nlted Stales. There Is no doubt but that serious trouble will ensue within a few fays. FROM OVER THE SEi The New Tithe Kent Charge Bill Will in All Probability Cause a Serious Split. WALES IS BITTEE AGAINST IT. Eoyalty Enjoying Itself Patti's Stepson Soon to Make His Debut Other Foreign Gossip. ' London, April 18. Special. There is every possibility that a split will occur between tho government and their allies the liberal unionists over the new tithe rent charge bill, which lias been recently introduced and the second reading of which will be moved within a few days. Tho measure is a government one, and like all govern-ment measures has been framed iu the interest of tho party, without conside-ration of the merits of tho grave ques-tion in dispute, between tho clergy and the agriculturists iu .England mid more, particularly in Wales. Tho position of the tories in the matter is u very delicate one, and they will have the greatest diiliculty in reconciling the interests of the church and the agricul-turists, both of whom are iu political sympathy with them, and upon whoso support they rely for their position iu the counties. Tho effect produced by tho bill was quite unexpected by its framors. It has satisfied no one. and even such a stolid liberal unionist as Lord Hraboiirno has declared against it. The new bill has been framed mainly to put down tho agitation in Wales, which at times has reached the magnitude of a revolt. Hut the method adopted is characteristic of tho tories. Instead of attempting to pro-pitiate the tithepayers, it is intended to enforce payment by more stringent methods tllim are now in force. In Wales the feeling against tho measure is as deep as the hatred of the tax, and if imprisonment bo added, as is con-templated to the anguish that tin alien church has inflicted upon the people the rioting that has before now resulted in bloodshed, may develop into au organized revolt. Having a Goad Tlma. London, April 18. Special. Roy-alty generally is having a good time iif it just now. The queen is at llio Prince of Wales and his son George, have returned from a visit to their respective! nephew and cousin, the German emperor, and Prince Al-bert Victor is iu Judin where he is being entertained with eheetah hunts, ele-phant hunts, tiger hunts, and cock lights and dances of Nautoh girls. TUB FIELHF fJoii Various Notes of Interest to tho Mechonio and to ths Laboring ) Man. SUCCESS OF THE EXCHANGE. A General Labor Demonstration to be Had May 1st The Fluuibers Are Solidly United. The carpenters' open meeting Wed-nesday night w as the biggest thing of the kind this season in Salt Lake. Many had to go away for want of a seat, and standing room een was not to be had. A mass meeting of tho various trades of the city Is called for, and the time of holding it w ill be announced as soon as a suitable hall is engaged. The plasterers have agreed with their employers to a scale of M per day of eight horn's, 50 cents per day; and this rato will hold good during IWO. Tho painters have secured the signa-tures of all tho bosses in Salt Lake City, except one, to an agreement to grant uiuu hours as a day after May 1. The carpenters do not look for any trouble on May 1, as tho last trade is to como In under the advanced scale, and consequently (hero can be no reason-able excuse given as to why they should bo refused their deniauds when all tho balance of the crafts have been ac-corded it. The Union Headquarter and Labor Exchange began business Monday morning last, as announced In our col-umns, and Is now well under way and becoming quite, popular already, anion-be- r of mechanics having been supplied with work through tint olllee, and a number of employers having called there for help. No doubt that before long the trade and labor organizations of this city will take a hand in ous politics, as they have concluded that in no other way can they hope, to receive the recogni-tion they need in the legislative bodies of cily, county, and territory. The eight hour and lien law bills having been totally ignored by the last legisla-ture, and an equally apparent indiffer-ence in tho new city government., to their interests, lends them to tho above conclusion. Every cigar factory iu Salt Lako is a union factory, and they are encouraged to know .that homo miido cigars are steadily supplanting the outside non-union article, as nearly all the dealers in town arc replacing the contraband goods with honest while labor produc-tions bearing the blue label, tho trade mark of the cigar makers union, The plumbers of Salt Lake are y united to a man; as they claim that there Is not a single non-unio- n man working at the trade in town. This is an example for all the other trades to follow, as that alone will assure peace and quietness. The plumber' union confine II membership strictly to Journeymen alone, neither foremen or bosses Inking any part in its workings, The 1st of May will sec the greatest demonstration nil over the world in favor of the .fight-hou- r work day that was ever known. Not only thousand, or even hundreds of thousand will take part iu tho grand turnout by the work-ing people, but millions is the name that must bo given to the great army of labor that, will be marshaled in peaceful array on that May morning not noon to be forgotten, unless, perhaps, that It might possibly bo overshadowed the succeeding year by tons, yes hundred of million marching under thcgloriou banner of freemen declaring their right to ay that only eight hour, and no more, shall constitute a day' work. The history of the short hour move-ment iu this century show that whore-eve- r labor ha risen above brutal drudg-ery not only have hour increased, but moral and intellectual product ha di-rectly resulted. Shorter hour menu better men, a higher standard of com-forts, increasing want, a broader vie w of the requirement of human existence, a dependence of moral relation which i but another term of widening social relations an expansion of the menial qualities, growth in Intellectual attai increased production, a greater consumptive capacity, a larger cotiecp. lion of responsibility, a wider range for the exercise of human uetivitle, closer relations of sympathy with our fellows, a keener sense of equity and justice, a more determined character, greater zeal in "works of well doing," restric-tion of the merely brutal passion, en-largement of sentimentsin a word, human progress. On Monday evening, March li, av The Carpenter, after long and careful consideration, the. e xeciitivo council of the American Federation of La'or unanimously selected the United Broth-erhood of Carpenter and Joiner of America as the organization to be first financi.illy sustained in making the de-mand for eight hours a day on M;iy 1. The demand in to w made in nuch may lie selected and approved of bv the general executive ljoard of the United Brotherhood and under the Pile of that organization. Next after the carpenters, the United Coal Mine Worker of America are to be unstained, at such time ax the officers of that association may deem nio-- t ad vantageon to the interest of the miner. And so in continuou succession, each and every trade i to be sustained a rapidlv as they aro organized and feel prepared to wake the demand. Car-penter. Hank Officers K.Ierteil.

A rumor to the effect that Dr. Lvman Abbott was about to resign the ate of pastor- Henry Ward Bcechcr's old church iu Brooklyn was current in that city yesterday. Dr. Abbott is now in Manchester, Conn., accompanied by his wife. The report of tho committee ou ar-bitration was finally disposed of by the Pau - American conference yesterday afternoon, although it is not certain that the Argentine republic delegates will sign it. Rev, Z. T. Moyer, a prominent cler-gyman of tho United Brethren church, has committed forgery for small amounts at Lancaster, Pa., on several banks and disappeared. Warrants arc out for his arrest. The New England society of Califor-nia Pioneers arrived at San Bernardino lasi night on their way to San Fran-cisco, and were given a warm reception. A gloom was cast over the evening, however. At tho opera house meeting General Chapin, who presided, dropped dead of heart disease. A sensational niarriago took place yesterday at Lewisboro, N. Y. Tho principals arc Gould Rockwell, a mil-lionaire and retired business man 87 years old, and Miss Mamie Louise a blushing rosy-cheeke- d blonde, just ont of her teens, whoso former home was in Ulster county, N. Y. ' Before tho coroner's jury yesterday Mamie Starr, the poisoner of the New-lan- d family at Chicago, repeated her story and asserted that she did not in-tend to kill the family. The jury re-turned a verdict, holding her without bail, to await the action of tho grand jury. The verdict was read to the prisoner, who fainted. It was discovered yesterday morning at Castle Garden, that of the 1403 French and Italian immigrants on board tho steamship Caehenierc, the majority were bound for Pittsburg un-der contract. Tho United States con-tract labor inspector has gone to the 'steamer picparcd to arrest all suspi-cious parties. A number of immigrants were field for a time, but afterwards re-leased, as tho evidence against them was insufficient. A big failure in the silk trade yester-day was that of Louis Franks & Co., raw silk importers, who arc also man-ufactures oi silk at Palcrson; N. J. The, liabilities arc said to be upwards of $!i()O,00O, with nominal assets of $1,200,-00- Tho cause attributed for tho em-barrassment are inability to raise money to meet maturing obligations, the stringency of the money market, stop-page of accommodations by the banks and Josses by recent failures in Pater-son- . The seventieth birthday of General Sherman was royally celebrated at New York last night with a handsome recep-tion, tendered him by tho Union Leaguo club. Tho building was tastefully deco-rated. General Sherman, supported by Chaimeey Depovv and Secretary Noble, received 'the guests who passed by and extended their congratulations. Tho list of distinguished statesmen, diplo-mate-judges and army and navy off-icers who passed before the old general was a lengthy one. Tho reception con-tinued until a late hour. Tioko Minami, director of commerce for the royal agricultural and commer-cial departments of Japan, is in Chicago looking over the city's industries for a few days while en route from Paris to Japan. In an interview yesterday he was enthusiastic over American manu-factured goods, in comparison with those of Germany ami England, and asserted that if cheaper rates could be secured between San Francisco and Japan the trade, between that country and America would bo wonderfully in-creased. Tho three Chinamen who attempted to cross tho frontier at Niagara Fa Is some time ago were sent back to the United States customs ofheers yester-day. Two had Canadian customs cer-tificates and were passed. Lem Sing had no papers and was hustled back to the American side. There the ofheers would not let him in, and Lem has been staying on tho bridge since, and is likely to stay there some time. J ho collector here telegraphed to Ottawa for instructions and was told to semi the Chinaman back. The Americans have telegraphed to Washington. Meanwhile Lem is waiting.

' After Long Yearn of Separation Ilunlmnd and Wife Are Reunited. Rome, N. Y April 18. Wedded, parted, and reunited. Such is the epitome of the lives of Eli S. Arnold and Emma Eddy. The parties to tho story aro about 50 years of age. They were married in Albany in 1865. The girl's name was Emma Eddy. They lived together hero for fiomo time against tho vigorous protestations of Arnold's parents, who re fwed to recog-nize the bride. Arnold later concluded to seek a fortune in the west, and left his wife at Clark's mills, after lovingly promising to send for her as soon as circumstances permitted. lie did not tell his wife . where be was going, and after spend-ing some years in Michigan, In-diana, Illinois, Missouri, and Kansas, traveled as canvas man forForepaugh's circus. About ten years ago ho returned to Indiana, where he became a farmer, aud worked there up to within a few days ago. Meanwhile the wife supported herself by working in mills. A baby girl was was born to her, and she went to her father's home iu New York.

Mrs. Hoffman was left a. widow about, five years ago, aud has resided with her children 'in humble apartments in Utica ever since.

Iii regard to money tho popular no-tion is wonderfully erroneous, nnd seem to be founded on fairy stories, which spenk recklessly of mountain of gold and silver and room full of guin-ea.

It i quite cny lo lilul the figure which justify thi conclusion. At (he commencement of the Chris-tian era there were in the world $427,000,000 iu gold. Thi is nil estimate based on careful calcula-tions, ami mii!t be. very Rear correct, t But gold is very soft and west s away to an astonishing extent; III cone.iiei.ce, this amount had diminished to t.i7.0OO.- - 000 at the time America wa discovered. Then it began to iitcrcane. Peru and Mexico added to tho world supply. California increased it still further, and finally mine Australia nnd South Af-rica, Willi all tiie sources of supply, the amount of gold increased, until at (the present day it I estimated at ij,oil,0OO,OW.

This cube would contain 151 cubic yard., within ' a fraction, and in this room you could put, all the gold in the world!
