Probable Compromise at Milwaukee,.
MILWAUKEE, June 8.-The Milwaukee re-
presentatives of the North Chicago Rolling
Mill ComLany held conference last evening
with delegates from the various Departments
in the mills at Bay View, and an amicable ar
rangement was arrived at relative to number
of matters involved in the great strike. 1t is
understood that the manufacturers here are
willing to meet the laborers half way, and will
allow them a partial advance where such is
possible. There is every reason to believe that
at the conference to be held on Friday matters
will be so arranged that several of the depart
ments will start up again next week. The
feeling at Bay View yesterday was that of con-
fidence, and all the workmen seemed to be
elated that local difficulties at least will be
amicably adjusted. Interviews with the manu-
facturers developed the fact that they had vir-
tually decided to concede q number of inn
portant points, although they assert that they
have only decided upon such advances as seem
to them necessary and just.

Twenty-four Democratic Senators met in

day to discuss the Presidents nominees for tar

procure action on the question, and at the con-
clusion of the conference every Senator was
left free to vote upon it n executive session ac-
cording to his own Judgment. 1t was devel-
oped, however, that the Democratic Senators
are practically unanimous in holding that tho

therefore, be rejected.

The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1882-01-21

Since the organization of the order
of Knights of Honor, June 80, 1873,
down to Jan. /, 1882, the immense
sum of So, 1876, O93. 65 has been paid
to the widows and orphans of deceased
members of that order. There are
now about 120, 200 members, and the
order is rapidly growing. Of this
number Tennessee has near 1000
members. In this state there have
been in all 412 deaths, distributing
SS24, 600 among the widows and or,
phans of the order, thus relieving a
large number of helpless people. 1t
is proper to state that 155 of the
deaths in this state were from yellow
fever in 1878 and 1879. The actual
cost to a member under forty.Gve
years of age, who joined the order in
1873, has been, for eight years, SOL
in assessments, or an average of SILL
81 per year. If to this sum of SOL
for assessments, three dollars per year
be added for lodge dues for the
eight years, and ten dollars for the
initiation fee, the total cost to such a
member will be 1882. Dividing this
by eight, we have the average annual
cost for initiation fee, lodge dues, and
assessments during eight years, $3.50
Or total annual cost for each one
thousand dollars benefit, to each
member, of 1925.

The Guiteau trial is being argued
in court and will hardly reach the ju.
ry before next week. Scoville, in his
speech last Wednesday, used the fol.
lowing language, which created quite
a sensation, and on which he was
warmly congratulated:
say that such men as Grant and
Conkling and Arthur are morally and
intellectually responsible fol this
crime. Mr.. Conkhng shall not es-
cape; shall not shirk the responsibility
of the state of things that led to this
act, and he shall not escape the CON
demnation of the American people,
if | can help it, for his share in this
dlsgraceful scramble for office that
led to conflict with chosen ruler of
this great nation, and led this poor in
sane man to compass what they would
have hailed with satisfaction, as
would probably hundreds of other
politicians, if it could occur other than
through assassination, the removal of
Garfield, who stood in the way of
their unrighteons and disgracefulstrug.
gle for office. Neither shall Grant
escape that condemnation to which he
is so justly subjected, when coming
from Mexico and coming with undue
haste u throw his own name in this
petty quarrel about a small office in
the republican party and sought to
foment differences that had sprung
up.
