New YoHK, Jan Andrew Newton, who is
under contract to Norman i. Munro to print the
cheap books which the latter publishes has dis
charged one hundred compositors from his en-
ploy The men were also members of the Ty-
biographical Union, No. 6. Mr.. Newton found
that by paying the union rates he was losing a
large amount of money on his contract, and de
cided to have his composition done out of the
city. The fact that such step should be taken
opened up grave possibilities relating to the inju-
ny which would occur to the printing trade should
the high prices for composition continue in this
city. The general sentiment among the larger
printing houses is that the high prices for com
position-thirty seven cents a thousand ems for
loaded and forty cents thousand for solid mat
ter day work-will ruin the business in this city.
The large offices will be forced to succumb, be-
cause they are unable to compete with the Offices
which pay women compositors only twenty-five
cents thousand. The great majority of the of
fees have refused to take contracts for the print
ing of books and weekly newspapers, because the
contracts cannot be made profitable.

A Cold Day for Russell Sage.

New YORK, Jan At was black Thursday
for Russell Sage yesterday. The great put"
''call," and ''straddle" broker, it was said, was
very vexed, and put brokers called upon him
faster than he conld sign checks Union Pacific,
of which he was reported to have held 80, 900 or
300, 900 shares, had taken a sudden tumble, and
he was said to be temporarily loser in the
neighborhood of million dollars. A welknown
member of the Stock Exchange said: II guess
Russell Sage has had enough of Union Pacific
stock for one day. Only short time ago, when
Sage got about i5O,0OO shares of Union Pacific,
its price was close on to so. Yesterday it closed
at Il IA No wonder Sage received so many
calls If it had been any other man than he
have no doubt that he would have gone under
Sage always has the cash some way or other,
and he doesn't seem to crush worth a cent, but
he must be poorer by about million dollars to-
day than he was yesterday"

the report Of thespeech; that member OF

met member was supreme, absolutely, in
the discharge OF bis duties, and therefore

and that the only power that could punish
him was Congrsts by impeachment. He
ia said to have further told the United

the authority Of the Cabinet member,
under the penalty OF the displeasure OF

character Of the Attorney Generals re.
