free-trader made constant efforts to secure reduc
tOns all round, especially metals and wool, but
was unsuccessful. Messrs Aldrich and Malone are
understood to have stood pretty steadily with Mr..
Carlisle IN opposition to increasing the rates fixed
in the Senate bill. Messrs Kelley Haskell, McKin-
ley, Morrill,, Sherman and Speer have been as
general thing in favor of increasing
the rates upon contested points in the schedules.
The result of this condition of affairs has
been continual disagreements, and the progress
made has not been so rapid was hoped. About
. o'clock this evening Senator Morrill, made an
effort TO harmonize the conflicting views and reach
conclusion by short cut, but is said to have met
with no success
AT IL o'clock the conference had reached the end
OF the schedules and thev then returned TO the con-
tested points which had been passed over These were
IN the metal, crOckerv, wool, cotton and sugar
schedules The two Houses divided upon the
schedules. each favOriDg as q general thing their
bills. Mr.. Carlisle was an exception to
this rule, siding with the Senate cOnierees upon
the chief points of difference. After time spent
in attempts TO make prOsevltes Senator
Sherman made a speech favOring concession
on the part Of the Senate conieees,
and Senator Malone. 1t is understood,
approved the views of Senator Sherman. This
seemed to bring matters no nearer % conclusion,
and at midnight the conference adjourned to reas-
semble at $3.50 tomorrow morning.
The opinion was expressed by member OF the
conference after adjournment that no bill would be
reported from the conference committee, nasmuch
as tie differences of opinion seemed irreconciabe.

THE DISMISSAL OF CADET HARTIGAN APPRovEn.
The action OF the Secretary OF War In dismiss
lug from the military academy Cadet Hartigan, OF
the first Glass; will not only not be reversed but II
the superintendent should ascertain the names
OF those associated with Hartigan they, too, It -
said at the War department, will be summarily
dismissed. As 1t is q number OF cadets OF the
first class have been given extra tours OF duty
and restricted In their privileges. while those OF
the third class, some seven or eight In number.
are informed that there will be no cadet fur.
Tough for them next year. Immediately aftee
Cadet Hartigan was dismissed he came TO Wash.
ingtOn and addressed q letter to the Secretary OF
War, complaining that the grossest injustice had
been done him, and asking that he be reinstated.
In his letter he alleged many reasons why he
should not be ad1udged guilty, and wfthal made
an apparently reasonable appeal IN his own be.
half The Secretary OF War had the letter referred
to superintendent Merritt and his report has been
received at the War department. lt says:
ITO believe for moment that the new cadet

sible. There Is now no question In my mind -
that there was deliberate plan formed and en-
tered into to throw the sentinel into the ditch %

Banquet TO DIR. NOrvim Green.

he SPEAKS OF THE GROWTH OF THE WESTERN UNION
AND ITS FUTURE.
A dinner was given last night In honor OF DR..
Norvin Green, by the chairmln and directors OF
the Eastern telegraph and the Eastern telegraph
extension companies at the Star and Garter, Rich
mond London. Mr.. John Pender presided DIR.
Green, I'm replying to a toast, spoke or the rapid
development OF this country and the great prog
ress made In the practical arts and useful inven-
tons He was specially proud of The invention OF
the electric telegraph. The Western Union COM
pany had increased Its plant five-fold, spanned
third OF the earth, and had sufficient wire TO grdle
It fifteen times. In the meantime the capital
stock had been increased only two-fold With
$4,000 miles OF wire IL was l0o0000; with as 600
miles ii is $50, Coo The market value OF the
shares was 40 to 90 per cent. They are better
worth par now than 40 then. He believed that
telegraphy was still I'm its infancy. Many very
important uses had yet TO come. In concluding
he referred TO the queen, and said: "My criticism
upon your form OF government is not that you
have sovereign, but that you have but one. We
have fifty millions OF soyereigns In our country,
and are rather partial to them. The title may be
less appreciated because it is common TO all, but
you know we have no title below the rank of SOW.

The Board Of AssessOrs.
THEY CLOSE THEIR WORK TO-DAY.

TO-dsy was the last day OF the session OF the
board OF equalization and appeals 81 am glad
we are through with the work, said Assessor Cot
treu to STAR reporter. "There is no doubt that
the law gave too short time to hear appeals and
also too short time for the assessors 10 do their
work."
"Do you think the assessment a good one 2"
asked the reporter
"Yes," said Mr.. Cottrell; "I think it has been as
thorough as any ever had In the District and In
the matter OF equalization better than any. 1t
may be that Capitol Hill has little the best OF it,
but considering the burdens which have been laid
upon Capitol Hill during the last few years that is
no more than just Real estate men interested In
Capitol Hill property say that the assessment is
running their business there. A man is not going
to pay big price for property when he finds that
It Is assessed very low."

Of the inability Of the Western Union company to for.
Tara dMispa,tches M For two days the Indian commits

that 1t cannot get dispatch through"
There is no telegraph station at Fort Berthold.
Messages for that point have heretofore been sent
to Fort Stevenson, an ONCE on the u s. military
lines, which Is now closed We simply notified
the Indian office that Fort Stevenson was closed
The military line connects with this company's

MYSTERIOUS HINTS IN CHICAGO ABOUT NEW STRIKE

MYSTERIOUS HINTS IN CHICAGO ABOUT NEW STRIKE
IMPENDING.
CHICAGO, August 4-There was little change
last night in the telegraphic situation here. Col
Clowry, the superintendent, said he had consulted
with the managers OF the leading railroads, and is
prepared for anything the operators can do by
calling out the railroad telegraphers. Members OF
the brotherhood who for some days have been
limiting mysterlously about an impending strike,
Which would paralyZe the company-that strike
belns understood to be the calling out OF the rail-
road operators-now give out the impression that
tne operators who took the places OF the strikers
are not satisfied, and that a large number OF them
have been initiated into the brotherhood, but are
force inside is obtained, when they Will be called
out In body and the company left without ope-
rators or the ability to get any, as there are no
more outside operators to be had.
THE THREATENED STRIKE OF D., L AND ". r. R
OPERATORS.
NEW YORK, August 4-The announcement that
the Brotherhood OF Telegraphers would serve
bill OF grievances to-day upon the Delaware.
Lackawanna and western Railroad company in
behalf OF the railroad operators In the employ OF
that company, did not appear to cause much ap-
prehension In the company's ONCE During the
morning no committee OF the brotherhood made
It's appearance. and 1t was thought that the
OF the company have given no Indication OF dis
satisfaction with their work or wages. The offi-
GERS OF the company stated that in case any such
action was taken by the brotherhood they would
probably refuse TO listen to the demand. The
company Is under contract to take Western Union
commercial business IL was said, and any refusal
on the part OF the operators to transmit such bust
ness would meet with prompt dismissal from the
service. The same Is said to be true with regard
10 the Louisville Nashville railroad.
THE SITUATION IN NEW YORK CITY.
AT the western Union Office there was no indi-
cation OF any new developments, and the position
maintained by. the company since the strike is
strictly adhered 10. The stories circulated by the
strikers regarding the condition OF affairs at the
western Union office were reported to be untrue.
Ihere were occasional delays, 1t was said. but
these were OF frequent occurrence before the
strike. This morning there were $50 operators at
work. and business to all points was moving
smoothly

THE CHILDREN'S DAYS,
for which the program is as follows:
A New Political Order.
OBJECTS OF A NEW SECRET SOCIETY OF wORKINGME,
ORGANIZING EVERYWHERE.
CUrTesPoHuence OF The EVENING STAR. !,
JACKSON GROVE


ORGANIZING EVERYWHERE.
From the Philadelphia Times. to-day
1t Is asserted that those members of the Knights
Labor who have battled unavailingly for the in
PRODUCTION Of political plank in the constitution
OF the order are now engaged in organizing q new
secret political society OF workingmen. John Rod
gers, OF Altoona, has visited JohnstOwn and Vi
cinity in the interest OF the new movement, which
is said to have been started in Maryland. The in
tention, it Is asserted, is not to form new politi
cal party. but simply to throw the solid vote OF
the membership to such candidates OF the old
parties as pledge themselves to carry out. II
elected, the principles Of the order.
In speaking Of the new order MIR. P0wderly, Of
Scranton, said that 1t is composed OF cranks, dis
satisfied knights and political trickstera In
answer to this charge Mr.. Rodgers says that the
reason the mayor opposes the new movement Is
because 1t will deprive him OF the lucrative and In
1uential position he now holds as the head Of the
Knights. ''There are now one hundred and sew
enty-nve men throughout the country drawing
princely salaries from the treasury Of the Knights
OF Labor" said Mr.. Rodgers, 'sand they all fear
officially the consequences Of this new movement
A very small percentage Of the members OF the
knights derive any benefit from the Organiza-
tion." It is declared by those who are engaged
in the movement that the new organization win
greatly impair the strength OF the Knights.
