Washington Letter, in Philadelphia Record
Mr. Conkhng, 1 see, denies much Of the alleged
interview with Rev. Mr., Snyder of st. Leuis-
| do not wonder at his denial of the words the
amateur reporter put in his mouth especially
that part which makes Conkling opposed to the
Electoral Commission. Mr. Conkling, on
two occasions distinctly told me that he
was the author of the Electoral Com
mission scheme of 1877. | never heard any
thing more graphic than his account-given to
me as | sat smoking with him in his library,
while he chewed the end of an unlighted cigar
of his talk with Grant and Sherman over the
pelils that would probably environ the inaugu-
ration of Hayes. Grant was depressed, terribly
so, and said he wanted to get away from Wash
ington without having to shed blood-any
thing and everything for peace. Sherman
was full of fight-he believed in his artillery,
and could end amy row in half an hour with his
regular batteries. Conkling walked up and
down the room THE conversations took place in
the evening at the White Housei, listening to
the two generals and saying nothing until they
had finished. Then he stepped in front of Grant,
and, reaching out his fore finger i'm
pressively Che acted it all out to
mel unfolded his plan for an cleo
toral commission. When he had finished Grant
jumped to his feet, grabbed him by his hand
and said THAT'S it. It's all right Sherman.
Conkling has saved u.s." Cenkling got sick of
his electoral scheme before it finishes it's work
and lodged the vote Louisiana; but he has
not only always elairaed to be the father of the
job, but that it was the only way to get out of
the difficulty and avoid civil war

New York Sun
The Oldest American firm manufacturing gun
powder has been in existence nearly ninety years,
during whish time its name has not changed.
Its founders We're Frenchmen. 1t is not part
nefship nor a orporation-simply a family.
1t is worth probably $780, 600 600 The sens
are educated to various occupations profess
sons in which they will be of use to the company.
At the age of twehty-oEe they are taken into the
business, but must sign al agreement binding
them never to ask a division of the pro
ceeds or estate. During their lives they are
given all the money they require, and at their
deaths the widows are handsomely pensioned
until they Pemarry. Some Of the young men
become civil engineers, some chemists some
lawyers. A famous American admiral was of
this family. An employe is rarely discharged,
except fer fragrant incompetence, and at his
death his widow is pensioned, and his children,
if intelligent and capable, brought up to
follow in their fathers footsteps For
years this family or community held
complete control of the powder market
and succeeded in crushing every new powder
manufacturer Once during the late war they
professed that their mills were inadequate to
their ORDERS and made what appeared to be
very fair contract with rival manufacturer,
by which he agreed to furnish them within
stipulated time large amount of powder,
which they, in turn, were to sell to the govern
ment. Immediately upon the signing of the
contract the powerful firm bought up every
pound of saItpeter in the United States and
contracted for all that could be shipped from
Europe for months to come, so that their vic
tim could only procure this essential material
through the firm with which he had bound him
self by contract Ruin stared him in the face,
but the company released him from the contract
upon his asserting to certain concessions very
advantageous to them. A New York company
now makes more powder than this company, but
the latter is still the wealthiest in America. Its
mills are in Delaware. In the manufacture of
powder Pennsylvania stands first, New York
second, and Ohio third.

BRAZIL March 3.-The miners and operators
have not yet reached any terms of settlement
as to the price Of mining. Up to March the
price of mining was 81 per ron. The operators
have given notice of a reduction of % per cent,
making the price offered seventy-fve cents The
miners seem generally willing to submit to a re-
duction to eightyfve cents, and should that
compromise be agreed upon work will be re-
sumed at once, but the operators appear to be
determined to stand for the twenty hvecent re-
duction.
