Representatives or Various Interests
Aeard-Suesestions and Recon-.
mendations.

LONG BRANCH, N. J., August 3.-Before
the Tariff Commission to-day Castor l..
Feuardent made an argument in favor of
placing on the free list antiquities, objects of
collection, plaster casts and photographs
thereof, whether for sale or not
Viii, OF Philadelphia, wanted equality of
duty on statuary.
Argument was made 10 favor of putting
hatters' plush on the free list; also in favor
OF Putting on the free list sulphur ore
Tor msnuIacture and sulphuric acid for fer
tilizers. The effect of this proposition would
be to cheaper fertilizers; they were twenty
i've per cent. cheaper in England than in
the United States. Instead of the United
States importing $4,000 tons of superphos-
phate they ought to export it, as they held
the key to the situation in containing the
only mineral phosphate deposit in the world.
The executive session to-day was under
stood to be Tor the purpose of discussing and
settling some items of the tariff bill.

The Amalgamated Association OF Iron
and steel Workers.

CHICAGO, August 3.--The Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers are
still in session, but the secretary, who has
been commissioned to give the press what
ever he may deem polite to publish, states to
all inquirers that the business up to this
point Is of an entirely private nature, and
not properly to be divuIged. 1t is stated,
however, thatsome radical changes are being
considered in the constitution looking toward
the abrogstion of the predominant power and
influence of the Pittsburg district. 1t is de-
sired TO amend the laws SO that the demands
of any one district must be approved by a
majority OF the other districts before strike
eau be ordered, in case of refusal of the
to comply. The convention
lasts until the middle of next week, and the
election of officers is the last thing on the

man who would have shared the palm Of
beauty with Mrs. Langtry ne;rsselt- Tall aud
graceful in department, OF beautiful counse-
nance, beaming with intelligence as che
spoke in favor Of all kinds of Objectionable
Institutions as being consistent with the
counsels OF our mother nature, whose I'M
taught, unsophisticated child che professed
10 be, her sweet voice and eloquent language
completely dazzled the listener, although he
might retire unconvinced. Mrs. Woodruff
boldly publishes her intention of "going in"
for the presidency of the United States, and
takes time by the forelock in view of the
election of 1854. She says that her mani
festo goes out from Stree England" and issup-
ported by English capitalists. Mrs. Victoria
Woodruff is evidently woman of business, for
she calls upon every town, village and city
in Europe, as well as every State and Terri
tory IN America, to appoint delegates, who
will be provided with free return tickets by
steamer from Philadelphia, New York, or
Boston, and "during their attendance of
three days convention will have all expenses
paid for them by the said Victoria C. Wood
hull.", Many people laugh at the summons,
and think the experiment nothing more
than farce of the same kind as that enacted
by George Francis Train some ten or
dozen years ago. But those who know the
lady declare that she is fully capable of
carrying out her intentions, and that she is,
moreover, supported by pecunisry aid from
a quarter Of which no one can possibly
dream. -

The vital statistics of England show not
only that the number of suicides In proper
ton 10 the population Is steadily increasing,
bat that self-murder is most common in
those parts of the country where the people
are best educated. 1t further appears that
the proportion of suicides between
the ages of ten and twenty is only about
tenth OF those between forty-fve and fifty
five, which again are only about two.thirds
OF those between sixty-6ve and seventy-fve,
showing that the suicidal tendency increases
as the age advances. The number of men
who die by their own hand is three times as
great that of women. Most men who
commit suicide hang themselves, and most
women drown themselves. Twice as many
women as men take poison.

The English House of Lords has passed
the Irish arrears of rent bill, but not until
it had seriously mutilated some important
sections. ParneH calls for vigorous oppo-
sition 10 these mutilations, and some OF the
English newspapers are denouncing the
lords for resuming their old character as OBJ
sfructives, and are once more raising the
burning question whether the continuance
of the upper House. as now constituted, is
consistent with the interests OF the country.
That House is in the unfortunate position
that if it become the mere recorder of what
is done by the Commons, by always aequiesc-
lug in its decisions, its power is gone and il
is "a mere 6gure-head;" il il act indepeud-
emily, then it srouses a sentiment Of opposi-
ton, which may end in The destruction of
the WORKOUT system of hereditary legsla-
ton. "How happy could be with either"
is not popular song among the peers under
these circumstances; neither horn of the
dilemma is acceptable, but how to escspe
from the position they are in no man can tell.
