1894. SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR. THE NEWS BY CABLE. THE COAL STRIKE. It Fills the Delaware River at Philadelphia With Idle Vessels.

Philadelphia, May 11. The strike of the sof coal miners is having, a temporary disastrous effect on the coasting trade of Philadelphia, in which the coal shipments form a most important jtei. So great is the scarcity of bituminous coal that the Greenwich Point shippers of the Penn sylvania railway which are exclusixely devoted to this trade, have had to suspend oiverations entirely. "What little coal there is in transit has been taken by the railway company for use in its locomotives. Tho same state of affairs prevails at the 1 ort Richmond piers of the Reading rail way and all the coal destined for the pier of the Baltimore Ohio railway has been seized by that company' The result is that one of the largest fleets of idle vessels ever seen on the Delaware river now floats at anchor, awaiting the termination of the strike.

Orders for coal have been coming in freely from New England points and the West Indies, but they cannot be filled. FIRE IN SYRACUSE. Two Persons Drlren Into the Canal by the Flames anct Drowned. Syracuse, N. May 11.

Croker'3 resignation. Maurice F. Hol-ohan, deputy commissioner of public made an eulogistic address jn which he referred to Mr. Croker's record of nine years leadership, during Which he had never met defeat. He moved the approval of the ex ecutive committee's action, which was passed.

Croker's retirement, said: "Now that Mr. Croker has voluntarily retired I want to say of hiin that he has been the most phenomenal and successful leader that Tammany hall cr any other politicial organizion ever had. When he took charge of the organization in he found it weak and to some extent and without a single municipal office. 1 He leaves it in a possess ion of every city office. If that is made the test of success, then he has indeed been successful.

In addition I can bear personal testimony to his never failing sa gacity as a political lender, to his untir ing energy and devotion to the organization." The Mayor would not discuss the question of future leadership of the or ganization except to say that he was not in any sense a candidate for the olhce. Great ltacing Promised.

RETALIATION IS POSSIBLE. The Discriminating Dnty Offensive to That Country It Lend Germany to Obstruct the Importation of Certain American Products.

Washington, May ll. Among' the representatives of foreign governments here none are more interested in the proposed amendments to the tariff bill laid before the Senate Monday by Mr. Jones than the German Ambassador. That official early Tuesday sent a special messenger to the Capitol for a copy of the amendments and it is quite certain fcefore night that the German foreign office was familiar with the text of the sugar schedule. It is said at the Senate that the German Ambasador looks upon this provision as a direct slap at Germany, for.

Germany exports to this country more refined sugar than all the otlier countries combined. The discriminating duty of 1-10 of a cent a pouud on her refined sugar, it is thought by Senators who have, investigated the will lead to retaliation against our products by; Germany. By virtue of our reciprocal arrangements and the earnest work of the agricultural departments, the restrictions imposed by Germany on American meal and other articles were removed some time ago and a market was thus opened that had hitherto been closed. The argument is made that if the United States enact into law this discriminating tax, Germany will impede in every way the inqiortatioii of certain American products into that country. At all events the question has proven one of sufficient importance to cause it to be carefully studied and one of the Senators who assisted in the construction of the compromise is quoted as saying that possibly the com niittee made a mistake.

Speaking of the new anti-option bill Representative Quigg of New York to-day described it as "a combination of humbug and ignorance, which, pretending to aid the farmer, would place him at the mercy of the elevator owners, so that he would get nothing out of it except a market for his goods, ruinously contracted from that which exists to-day." "It is supposed," continues Mr. Quigg, "that the antl-ontion bill will come in the House as soon as the appropriation-bills are out of the way and Mr. Hatch, its sponsor, declares that it will obtain a large majority," Swallowed thi Diamond. -Chicago, May 11. L.

E. Butterfield, a traveling salesman, is locked np at the East Chicago avenue station -with a two-carat diamond in his stomach. He is charged with larceny, and the complainant in the case is M. E. Tage, a enndy manufacturer, who was recently made defendant in a divorce suit.

According to the story learned by the police, Page called upon Butterfield several days ago to secure a diamond ring which had been given to Butterfield, so it is claimed, by Mrs Page, who was afraid her husband would take it away from her by force.

Cits Cndoetored Carrots and Apples Bat lis no Xm for Iellcacies Proffered Yi itb. Deigns oa His Ugly Life s. A Well Ever. New York. 1L There was a big crowd at the menagerie in Central Turk as early as 3 a.

m. to-day where Tip is confined. The police kept everybody oat of Tip's quarters except reporters and others who had passes. 'At 6:43 eTen these persons were. requested to leave the build- ins lest Tip, failing to take the poison, the fumes might be inhaled by them.

Snyder, the elephant's keeper, began operations by giving him a couple "of non-poisoned carrots, which he ate. When Tip was given two carrots with the poison, the elephant spat them out. It is believed, however, that he swallowed some of the poison and that he is now slowly dying. He was given a couple of apples with oison soon after he had spat out the poisoned carrots, and these he refused to take. Tip is now lying down with his trunk stretched out quietly, occasionally twitching all over as if in a chilL Dr.

Huntington, of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, prepared the poison, and Dr. Allen, his assistant, administered it Park Commissioners Bell and Straus and a representative of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals were present. Three women were also at the scene. 9:30 a. m.

Tip is apparently as well as ever, and the general opinion at the menagerie is that the attempted poisoning was a failure. The Park Hoard has four magazine rifles and four expert riflemen on hand. Their intention was, it is said, in case of failure the poison, to mark a certain part of the elephant's head with chalk by means of a long pole in order to direct the aim of the shoKers. President Haines, of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, however, refused to allow any shooting at Tip. Tip, in the opinion of many of the attendants susjeeted that something was Wing done to injure him, for when the first carrot which contained three ounces of cyanide of potassium was given to him to speedily spat it out after chewing upon it.

Then, when an apple without the poison wasgWen- tO" him he ate it, and when an apple with poison immediately "after this was extended ta-hiui he smelk-d and it out on the floor. A piece of bread with no poison was then given him, and he ate that, but when' a piece of poisoned bread was given him he treated it as he did the poisoned Shortly afterwards when a carrot and a potato that had no poison was given to him he would not eat them In speaking about Tip's refusal to take the poisoned apple. Snyder, his keeper says that one Sunday last summer a visitor in the park gave him an apple that had been hollowed out and filled with cayenne pepper. Tip took it, crushed it and quickly pat it out without getting much burned by the pepier. Since then Tip has always been suspicions about what is given to him by a person whom he does not know.

At o'clock it was announced by Park Com- unsioner Straus that no further attempt will le made to poison the elephant or to kill him in any other way until the Society fr the Prevention to Cruelty to Animals had been consulted.
