Bosk's Message. Madison, Wis. January 13. The biennial message of Busk was presented to the Legislature, which met at noon to-day. After reverting to the material progress made In the State during the vear, he says: "While thus congratulating you upon our material progress, it is with deep regret that I am compelled to report that during the past year the peace of our State has, In a few instances, been interrupted by strikes and riots of greater magnitude, of more violence and farther reaching in their consequences than ever before.

In this connection you are reminded that it will be your duty as legislators to look carefully into the causes of these troubles, and wherever our laws for the prevention of wrong-doing or the punishment of wrongdoers are found to be defective, it will be your duty to perfect them by such new legislation as recent experience and reasonable anticipation for the future may indicate to be required." Further on the Goveroner says: "An overpowering majority of the whole people are not directly parties to the controversy at all. He declared that it was a contention between employes and employers, and it was the right and duty to step in and say not only 'Let us have but 'Wre will have Gov. Kusk said the Government could not be indifferent to the welfare of any class of citizens, and it was a special duty to protect the poor and weak against any possible aggressions of the rich and strong, and this especially applied to corporations created by the authority of the State. In conclusion, Gov. Rusk says, concerning the labor question: "With thoseagrarian and socialistic theories of fanciful society that deny the right of private property, or of each individual to full protection in the enjoyment and control of all his lawful earnings, whether obtained by his own labor or by contract, we can have no sympathy.

They are as un-American as monarchy," and as treasonable as secession. They contemplate the destruction of both Justice and liberty, and would accomplish the destruction of both if their application to existing society were seriously attempted. We are not prepared as American citizens to even consider a change in our form of government. Republican institutions and individual liberty go hand ana hand, and must and will be loyally maintained." Free from Lime and Absolutely Pure. The Royal Baking Powder is made from Cream oTarta Specially refined and prepared for its use by which the Tartrate of Lime ia totally eliminated.

This highly important result has been attained onlywitli great care, labor and expense. In money alone a quarter-, of a million dollars has been invested in patents, machinery and appliances by which the crude Cream of Tartar, being procured1 direct from the wine districts of Europe, and subjected in this country to these exclusive processes, is rendered entirely free, not only from the objectionable Tartrate of Lime, but from foreign substances. This adds greatly to the cost of manufacturing Royal Baking Powder; but, as all its other ingredients are selected and prepared with the same precise care and regardless of labor or expense, an article is produced that is entirely free from any extraneous substance and chemically pure in all respects. No lime, earth, alum or impurity of any kind can, by inadvertence or by the use of adulterated articles or otherwise, ha introduced into the "Royal," and it contains no ingredients except those certified by the most eminent chemists necessary to make a pure, wholesome and perfect baking powder. It costs more to manufacture the Royal Baking Powder than any other, but it is, as shown by chemical analysis, the only absolutely pure Baking Powder made.

Royal is the only Baking Powder made that is free from both lime and alum. A THING OF BEAUTY. TBJS-HEW BESIDEKCE OF MBS.

Early in the day a tug steamed up to the dock of the Delaware 4 Hud-nnCoal Company, and forty German emi grants. who had been hired at an employment soon hard at work shoveling coal. The strikers learned of the arrival of the Germans sbortly after noon.

At 2 o'clock nearly 200 strikers appeared in front of the Delaware 4 Hudson yard. It was their intention to march to the dock in a body and talk with the men who had taken their places but thirty constables ordered tnem to leave. They did so, without causing the slightest trouble. They dispersed, some going in the direction of Union Hill and others toward Hoboken. Shortly after 3 o'clock the tag drew up the Fifth street dock and abont seventy itrlker boarded it, and it started up the river.

It stopped at the end of the Delaware 4 Hudson Coal dock, and the strikers got off. The German emigrants were at work on the flock, but as soon as the strikers made their eppearancB, they dropped their shovels and ran. Two of them in their flight fell overboard. Soma of the more hot-headed of the strikers, it la said, clubbed the emigrants. All of the latter were driven from the dock.

Before the constables learned of the outbreak the strikers had re-cmbarked, and the tug was steaming back to Hoboken.

January 13. The 'Fourth Annual Report of the Bureau of Statistics of Labor" was submitted to the Legislature last CTening, and will make a volume of 600 or more pages. In his Introductory remarks Commissioner Peck says: "The year 18d6 has witnessed a more proiouna ana rar more ei Kaueu agitation among me memoers of organized labor than any previous year in the History of our country, and while such agitation in our own State has not been characterized by the wholly unwarranted and criminal excesses that startled with horror the populace of sevBral of the Western cities, It has nevertheless been earnest and pro-Bounced. With rare exceptions, organized labor has oontinned in this State with greater luccess and vigor than ever before to agitate, to etrike and to boycott during the past year, and lsS6will be remembered as one of the greatest Importance in the battle waged between capital and labor, the eternal failures Mi successes of which will not be lost or lail to serve as lessons of value to the student o' social and economic questions.

A Man and Wife Tell Conflicting Talai Before Judge Cady. Charles Crotzer, a barber from Louisville, was before Judge Cady this morning on a charge of disturbing the peace of his wife to whom he has been married five years. She and some lady friends testified that last Tuesday night he beat her most brutally, dragging her abont the floor by her hair and endeavoring to choke her. He had a scar on his neck which they said was inflicted by his wife who struck with a red-hot poker in endeavoring to defend herself. When Crotzer took the stand hn told quite a different story.

He said that three months ago he came here from Louisville and six weeks ago sent for his wife. They took rooms at the house of a Mrs. Taylor, a dressmaker living at No. 6 North Eleventh street. His wife's conduct made him suspect her of not being true to him, and they have been quarreling pretty much all the time since, she, although quite young, using the vilest language in the debates.

Sunday she moved without his consent to No. 1121 Pine street, forcing him to follow her, and that evening she came home very late. He asked her where she had bern, and sho said she had been at church. This struck him as very remarkable, as that was the last place In the world ho would suspect her of going. Ho doubted her word and thought she had been to some Improper place.

They quarreled and kept tho quarrel up until Tuesday night, when she told him to pack up his things and leave. At first he was poing to do so, but afterward changed his mind and lay down. While he was thus reposing she struck him across tho left aide of the neck with a red-hot poker, burning a scar four inches long. He Jumped up and struggled with her to wrest the eapon from her, but never choked nor struck her. Judge Cady was Inclined to believe his story and let him off on payment of costs.

The joint caucus of the 110 Republican members of the General Assembly to nominate a candidate for United States Senator will be held at 2 o'clock to-day. It is expected that more than one session of the caucus will be held before a nomination will be reached.

Paris Dispatch to the London Daily Newg, Prince Roland Bonaparte secured gTeat pecuniary advantages by his marriage contract with Mile. Blanc, and has the Guardianship of his infant daughter, a girl in her third year. When the heads of the dynastio families were expelled he applied to the civil tribunal for leave, he having been deprived of his grade in the French army, to invest his ward's fortune abroad.

On that occasion it was stated that her share of the Monaco tramhllnff 1 .1 a a i r- i tn rm .1 000,000 francs a year, and that the interest of her mother's dowry, which is invested in French rentes, brings up the child's fortune to one of the largest in Europe. The tribunal refused the application, both in the minor's interest and on grounds of publio policj, Prince Roland having placed a consider a Die capital at tne disposal of committees formed to try to over throw the Republic The royal family of Italy have stood aloof from Prince JNapo- leon. King Humbert is strongly hostile to Monaco, because it drains the wealth of Northern Italy by the demonetization of the Casino, which perhaps is the only place in the woria wnere equality truiv reigns. He has done everything a'consti-tutional King could do to promote a diplomatic movement against Monaco, and he gave what personal encouragement he could to M. de Freycinot to take steps to put it down.

The marriage of the Prin-ness Lrfjetitia will probably be taken in bad rart'by her royal uncle. I hear that the Empress Eugenie, when she is at Rome, will plead the cause of Roland. The marriage of the Prince with his cousin will be celebrated at Moncalieri, and the newly married pair will spend the winter at the San Itemo. In the spring they will return to Paris.

London Letter to the Liverpool Post The secret history of the relations of the Irish episcopate with the Court of Rome during the last six years wiU form a very interesting chapter when it is written. I believe there is no doubt that the Archbishop of Cashel had a severe struggle with the Pope, and the Pope is not a man to put up with strong opposition. I have heard of the bitter complaints made by English as well as Irish ecclesiastics of he manner in which the courageous statement of an unpopular case is received by the authorities in Rome. It is quite possible, then, that there may be a fiauk movement against Dr. Walsh and Dr.

Croke, and if that should take place of course priests would have to abstain from action, but failing any such prohibition it is clear that the priests may make the work of the government of Ireland dim- i cult, ix not impossible. lamination takes place. j.ne medical rice t.f AT TyiA i has been liv Price 'it himUnima.nVon Tuesday, and arrested cVatthe handcuffs on him before ot tlle bureau drawer. again," said McGrath, as he was marched to the stitin. rLrl I itt a jruv krlb -watt Jz 9 and a dozen old coins.
