President Harrison is touring through the great Southwest, and Secre tary r Blaine, after answering Minister ;Rudini's last dispatch, departed for Vir ginia Beach, where he will take a good rest. It is expected in official circles that the Italian government will renew its demand for the punishment of the New Orleans! lynchers; and indemnity to the families of the victims, but all fear of a war ot even of a sundering of friendlj relations is considered as past. Satisfaction is expressed ' in Washing ton official and political circles over tht situation in which Mr. Blaine's last note has placed the Italian question. . LABOR'S BIG STPilKE.

The disturbances are owing to the fact that the local authorities have commenced the demolitiou of the temple, which has been a place of pilgrimage visited by the Hindoos and Buddhists from all parts of India, in order to pro vide a site for a new waterworks. Riots took place, the mob looting, the railroad station and plundering the treasury chest. Later reports state that British troops are guarding all the banks, public buildings, and also occupy, in force, many points of vantage through out the city and district. It is conse quently presumed, tliat the troops will be able to supress promptly any serious out break on the pant of the natives, but the eventual effect of the spirit of resent ment and indignation existing among the Hindoos, already felt far and wide in j (ndia, can not at present be correctly estimated. i A new mail service between Baltimore And New York lias jrone iuiu Qifect.

COMING MAY DAY TO BE A MEMORABLE OCCASION. I Tne Elgnt How Battle It Will Be ' Waged on Two Continent!, and the Fight Will Be Fierce The Influence of the'; Coke Troubles Has Already Been Felt In the Bast. A dispatch from Pittsburg, Pa., states that over 125,000 men are ready to strike for eight hours work per day, or an in crease of wages, on the morning of May 1 next. 1 , In addition to the army of men who will be directly affected there is another army twice as large which has been af fected by these unprecedented agitations, and which will continue to be affected long after the trouble insight is past. The Pennsylvania Railroad has already begun a sweeping dismissal of employees and a reduction of its working force. 'As far east as Jersey City and all along its net work of lines men are laid off on Satur days, I The most eventful May day labor ever ' had will occur this year. Ominous mut terings from all over the civilized world indicate the coining of the fiercest battle that lias yet been fought between capital and labor. The growing discontent among workmen of every class has reached ! its culmination, and operators not only in the great cities of this country, but m Europe, have been warned that on May 1 the storm will be upon them. More than 125,000 workmen are ready to strike for an eight hour day or more wages, and the coal miners, building operators, iron mills, car r" age works, and stone quarries of the land will be numbed with paralysis. The end of the bit ter struggle can not be seen at this dis tance. i The bituminous coal trade has suffered a terrible blow from the coke strike, and will suffer a greater one on May L As far as is known up to this time the eight hour strike on May 1 will be joined in by the 15,000 bituminous miners of the Clearfield, Huntingdon, and Broad Top region, and the 10,000 men in what is known as the Pittsburg district of rail road miners. The latter are distributed along the Baltimore and Ohio, Pennsyl vania, and Pan Handle lines within a radius of 75 miles of Pittsburg.- The. 50,000 coal miners of Ohio West Vir ginia, Indiana, and Illinois are also in the movement, and most of them will make a stand for the eight hour day. . In New York the situation is alarming, and half a dozen trades unions will go out of j work on the refusal of an eight hour day. At St. Louis the outlook is black. I Carpenters, marblecutters, car riagemakers. and others are in line with the army of strikers, and will listen to no compromise. , J .. i 1 The situation in New England is far from bright. Boeton workmen want a nine hour day and more pay, and the smaller cities are, in sympathy with the Hub. Excepting the miners the trouble does not appear to be dangerous in the cities of Ohio, Cincinnati, and Cleveland. In other large cities, and from all points of the country, come reports of la bor's unrest. At all points capital is firm and unyield ing. . So far not a whisper has gone forth from the employers to indicate a desire on their part for compromise. Both lines are made up. The skirmishing has be gun. Artillery is being wheeled into place, and the battle will be on within barely a week. i nw-ri m nrir -ri -- 1 r isi rimr th i nign M Isnni m pm railClol.nODPiiJ'l . ,ao w ",NSIUW- -v" M;r HISHIIIIIMIIS ALL SKIN w BLOOD DISEASES.

Staircase Landings ot Five Stories Tumble to the Basement. An accident which alarmed the in mates of "Vice President Morton's pala tial Shoreham Hotel occurred in -Washington last week.- Workmen were en gaged in the hallway of the fifth floor, trying to force a misplaced girder into its socket with a jackscrew. The jack rested on the tiled flooring of the hallway below,' and when con siderable pressure had been put upon it the flooring of the hallway, for a space measuring 15 by 20 feet, fell to the story below. The floor was a. heavy mass of concrete and marble tiles held in place by a light framework of timber, and the impact wan so great that the fifth floor was carried away and all the floors below with it until the whole mass fell to the basement and blocked -the interior entrance to the cafe. . There were many guests in the hotel at the time and hallboys on each floor, and their escape and the escape of the work men was little short of miraculous.

Joseph P. Mecheca, the alleged head of the Mafia, the most prominent of. the victims of the mob, still stands on the' records of the State . Department as the duly accredited and recognized consul of Bolivia in New Orleans. "He was a wealthy merchant. His firm of Mecheca Brothers still continues the agency of one of the important steamship lines touching at New Orleans and trading in South American ports, and it was probably from this connection that Macheca came to be appointed con sul for Bolivia. The hard fact remains that he was such .consul at the time of his unauthorized execution.

Lieutenant Peary has been in latitude 69 degrees and 30 minutes north. Italy Strengthening Her Army. The Italian chamber of deputies has approved a bill extending the age of military liability three yeare. Hence forth every citizen is liable to military service up to his 42d year. This is only one out of a number of steps which s are oerng taken to strengthen the military j resources of the country. The measures are not very popular, and, together with tne increasing burdens of taxation, are. adding to the general feeling of discon tent among the poorer classes. - The First Step.
