Business.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-An the railroads cen tering in New York are doing an immense business. Never before have the carrying capacities of the roads been tested to so great an extent. The increase is not confined to any one road or one set of roads, but is gen. eral. All the companies share in it. The freight as well as passenger receipts are swollen to amounts far in excess of previous years Roads that have not improved their terminal facilities within recent years find their present arrangements altogether inadequate to perform the work demanded. To give some idea of the amount of travel the Penn sylvania road is running at the present time, it may be stated that sixteen trains run be- tween New York and Philadelphia. The fastest time is two hours. To meet the de- mand of the steadily increasing volume of business, the company has recently built 164 new passenger cars 65 new freight locomo- tives and 2,OOO freight cars. The terminal facilities have been greatly improved The mammoth elevator at Jersey City, which will be in running order early next month, is said to be the largest of it's kind in the East, hay ing capacity of 15O,OOO bushels

President Hayes Trip-POlygamists as

 sion Signed.
 WASHINGTON, Aug 26.-The President and party. consisting of MT. Hayes and the mem- bers of his family, left tonight on the 9:3o train for Fremont, Ohio. Attorney General Devens will be here on Monday, join the Presidents party at Canton, Ohio, and &C., company them on their Western trip as far as Fort Wayne, Ind, where on the third of September he will deliver his first campaign speech in Indiana. He will speak again on the 4th at Indianapolis, and on the 9th at South Bend. and on the Sth he will speak at Minneapolis Minn.
 On the return of Judge Devens to Wash ington he will commence the preparation of the first government cases to be taken up at Court in October. The most important of these cases is one to determine what questions may be asked jurors and the mode in which jurors may be impanneled where there is suspicion that the jurors are themselves polygamists. This case must be disposed of before the case pending in the Utah courts against polygamy can be dis posed of.
 Among the last official acts performed by the President at a late hour this afternoon be- fore leaving the executive mansion was to sign the commission of General Longstreet to be minister to Turkey. The commission was sent at once to the Department of State and General Longstrest notified of the fact. The General will come at once to Washington for instructions and sail at once for Constanti- nople.

The Policy Towards Ireland-Prepara- tions Taken by the Government-Iron- clad Huts for the COnstabulary. . LONDON, Aug. 26.-A Dublin dispatch says that the preparations to meet the dis turbances apprehended in the west of Ire land are continued. Among the many ar engagements in course of perfection to pre- vent the success of any uprising among the people is the erection of ironclad huts in the neighborhood of Claremorris for the protec- tion of the constabulary while on duty. These huts are somewhat like the pilot house of gunboat, sheathed all over with boiler iron and pierced with loop-holes through which muskets may be fired.
 In the House of Commons this evening Mr. Churchill demanded that NIT. Forster explain the Governments Irish policy. He said that Mir. Forster's speech apparently in- dicated that 1t was the Governments inten- ton to introduce another compensation bill simultaneously with the coercion bill. He said that the epithets wicked and cowardly by which MT. Forster had stig- matized Mir. DiIlon's speech at Kildare, applied as much taaMr. Forster's speeches as to Mr. DilIon's Mir. Forster declined to make any further explanations, but repeated that the Government would uphold the ex- isting law. MT. Gibson, Sir Stafford North cote and others participated in the debate, ana u1I1maGe1y the dOuS6 W0uI 4uLO COnI11G- tee on the supply bill. Mir. Thomas O'Con- nor led the assault on the Irish constabulary estimate Mr. Forster defended the constab- ulary for their forbearance, etc., and said their number was not excessive.

The EIirth Murderers-AIIeRed Now Evil
 dence in the Case.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-The Attorney General this morning had conference with the President relative to the three negroes convicted of the murder of young Hirth in January last It was decided not to inter fere with the case for the present The pro- gramme is to submit to Judge Hagner the new evidence alleged to have been found in favor of the prisoners, and if after due con- sideration he shall recommend a reprieve one will be granted. Otherwise at least two Of the prisoners will be hanged on the 10th of September next. In the case of the third, Sandy Penn, it is barely possible that his sen tence may be commuted to imprisonment for life. Penn has a record of previous good character, and that taken together with the new points alleged to have been found in his case may possibly secure him change of sentence. There seems to be no doubt, how ever but what the other two will hang, as the alleged new evidence is not believed to be of much consequence in comparison with the evidence produced against them during the trial.
