A GREAT LABOR STRIKE IN PROSPECT
The New York Tribune says the journey
men tailors Of that city, emboldened by the
result of the clothing cutters strike, are
about to inaugurste movement Of like
character. This contest will probably prove
one Of the most exciting Of the kind which
has ever taken place in that city, the en-
ployers in many instances being opposed to
the advance, while the men are by no
means as firmly united as many other trades
in the city. There are at present about
$4,000 journeymen tailors in New York and
vicinity, but q very small portion Of whom
are members Of the Union. OF the above
number there are about 1000 frst-class
tailors, large number Of whom are mem
bers Of the different tailors' societies.
These men are now receiving thirty cents
per hour, and the demand will be for
return to the old rate, which is twenty-five
per cent. advance on that amount.

FEELING CONCERNING THE APPOINT
xExrs.-The feeling in Washington is not,
perhaps, reflex of the feeling elsewhere,
but the feeling here among all classes and
shades Of Republicans is one Of severe dis
appointment. To say anything else is to
misrepresent the actual facts: There is,
however, an entire and cheerful willingness
TO wait and see the wisdom of the selections
demonstrated. Telegram to Ne'0 York
Times. -
The Radicals are not well pleased with
the nomination of Governor Cox as Score
tary of the Interior. They say he does not
represent the Radical Republican sentiment
of the State, and that he is opposed to ne
gro suffrage, and that for that reason he is
not the proper man for the place. They
say that when he ran for Governor few
years ago he distinctly avowed his opposi-
ton to negro sufrage.-.Baltimore Sun.
So he did. We republished his letter
against negro suffrage in the Dispatch at
the time.

THE CASE OF Mr.. STEwART.-Among the
Republican members of Congress the lead
ipr men of the party are pretty evenly d.
y;ded upon the course that should be pur-
,ned in view of the request Of General
Grant that the law of 1889 be suspended SO
far as it affects Mr.. Stewards case. Mr..
Wilson is the only New England senator
who fayors suspension Of the law. Mr..
Sumner has prepared speech against sus-
pension.-Data, in Baltimore San.
Mr.. Stewart personally is very objec-
tionable to large number of both senators
and members, high tariff men, by reason
of his free trade principles. The tariff
men are not, it is true, very strong in the
House, but they will all oppose the repeal,
for they look upon the Cabinet as somewhat
in the interest of free trade ii CONSEQUENCE
Of the appointment of Messrs. Stewart and
Boric, who are said to be avowed free
traders, and they will do nothing to per-
petuate their power.-Baltimore Sun.
I'VE think the tariff men are very strong

WHAT BILLS THE SENATE WILL
PASS. BEFORE ADJOURNMENT:
At the caucus of Republican senators
this morning, after nominating the stand
ing committees, a committee Of FIVE, con-
sisting Of Senators Sherman, Edmunds,
Trumbull, Stuart, and Pool, were appointed
to consider and decide, in conjunction
with similar committee Of the House,
what legislation is necessary, and to name
such measures az only should be adopted
with a view of making the session of the
Senate as short as possible. The Senate
committee met this afternoon and came to
the conclusion that it would not be neces-
ssry to pass more than dozen measures at
this session, including the civil tenure bill,
the Indian appropriation bill, the banking
redistribution bill, gold sales bill, and the
schenck national credit bill. To accom-
plish this legislation it is believed that
Congress need not continue here longer
than thirty days; but the Senate may con-
tinue longer for executive business.
WHATMR. STEWART PROPOSES TO DO.
It is reported this evening that Mr.. Stew
art, In an interview with General Grant
this morning, verbally placed his resigna-
ton at the lsttor,s disposal. Stewart says,
however, that if necessary he will transfer
