ANOTHER REVOLUTION IN
STEEL.

The Clapp-Grifith process of manu-
featuring steel is represented to be so
much better than the one invented by
Sir Henry Bessemer more than a quarter
OF q century ago that it will effect a
revolution in the iron and steel industry,
and enable the United States to surpass
all rivals. Already we produce more
Bessemer steel than Great Britain, and
about half as much iron. The Clapp-
Griffith process is said to insure our SUI
premacy, at least in the steel industry.
Pudding iron by hand is expensive, but
the Bessemer process forces air through
the molten metal, eliminating impurities
by the union with them of the airs
oxygen, and thus with simple machinery
a few men can produce hundreds Of tons
daily. The new process substitutes ma
chine for much Of the hand labor re-
CURED in the Bessemer process, and is
said to utilize ores which have hitherto
been valueless because of their excess Of
phosphorus. If the invention is all that
it is described to be, it will effect q
great revolution, and among other ad.
vantages which may be derived from it
by the United States may be the ability
to compete successfully with England in
the manufacture of steel ships.

The Denver Tribune calls upon the
timetable Association to make an
earnest appeal to the owners OF the rail
roads between the Missouri and the
Pacific to lend their powerful influence
10 the battle in behalf OF silver. Ii says:
"Next 10 the silver miners they are the
most vitality interested in maintaining
the continued coinage of the standard
dollar. Their transportation depends
directly and indirectly so largely upon
silver mining that it is safe to say they
would all be bankrupt should . total
cessation OF mining occur. Such an event
might not so completely destroy the
value of the roads as to leave the En-
ropean b~ondholder without anything;
but it would surely wipe out the stock
holders who are mostly American citi-
zens Of the Eastern States.
eve know that railroad managers are
generally g~old-standard men. Few Of
them have ever carefully examined the
silver question, it is true, but they are
accustomed to associate the silver senti.
ment with the granger sentiment. and
they are also In the habit Of looking
upon the Eastern gold-standsrd fnan-
ciers as infallible in financial questions.
But these managers will do their duty
wisely, and, well, if they call the atten-
ton Of the Eastern stockholders TO the
intimate dependence Of all Far Western
roads upon the silver mining industry.
There is no way TO save the stock Of
these highways from collapsing in value
except to rally to the defense Of the sill
yer coinage. There is no other way to
boom such stocks than by promoting
silver coinage and silver mining.
Eastern investors In the transmits
sour section Of the Union generally have
. direct personal interest in the success
Of the silver cause, and should be aroused
to action. The holder Of q Kansas farm
mortgage and OF the bonds of . Ne
braska town or county, will have much
better security If silver mining prospers
and furnishes a market for Kansas and
Nebraska products. The investor in Far
Western lands and homes, canals and
mines. ought to befriend themselves by
aiding Us. At this moment, around
Boston there are plenty of people who
are praying for the characterization of
silver, when such a disaster would have
the effect Of greatly depreciating the
value Of the railroad stock, in which
their private fortunes are largely in
vested. The Far West is, indeed, largely
owned by the Far East. and the latter
ought to take an interest in the welfare
OF its W property"

CARDINAL McCLOSKEY
Growing Weaker and Apparently Near
Deaths Door.

New YORK, Oct 6.
The following bulletin was issued from
Cardinal McCloskey's residence today
His emiDence, the Cardinal. has had for
over two days a change in his condition,
which renders him very weak and apparently

THE COTTON CROP,
The Yield Promises TO be Much Larger
than Last Year.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. i.
The National Cotton Exchange crop report
says: Though September has not been al
together favorable to the crop and there has
been loss from shedding rust and rot, and
in some sections from caterpillars. The good
foundation on which the crop rested at the
close of August has stood in the way of ad-
verse circumstances and the yield promises
to be much larger than last season. The
month closes, however, upon much uncer-
tanty, and in many cases correspondents
refer to the yield MS dependent upon favorable
picking weather. July truiting was excellent
nearly all over the Ebelt. August fruiting
was largely lost by shedding and the top
crop is by no means assured anywhere though
II may come out better than now supposed
Worms have appeared extensively, but the
damage has been proportionately less than
usual owing to the rank growth OF the plant,
and in many localities where they have been
stripped OF leaves it has been considered an
advantage. The premature opening OF the
balls and the smallness of the fruit have been
commented upon, but the latter fact NAV be
attributed largely to over abundance of fruit
age during the early part of the season. The
conditions have been more equally distributed
this year than last and the increase in crop
prospects extends nearly over the whole belt
The condition is now placed at S7b against 81
last month and 15 last year

CHICAGO, Oct. g.
The strange and wild story of John NJ.
Wilson, who staggered into the 18th street
station on Saturday last, proclaiming him
self murderer, Is true. dispatch received
last night from Philadelphia, confirms his
tale. He is wanted for the murder of An
thony DAILY, who disappeared mysteriously
about the middle of February, 1854, from his
farm in Montgomery county. Pa. In his
drunken talk Wilson told of the horrible
manner IN which he killed Anthony Daly a
farmer of Ivy Hill, Pa, in February, 1884
How after he had worked for him he asked
for money, and on being refused visited a
neghboring village and got crazy drunk
Returning, he .tealthily entered the sleeping
room OF DAILY and picking up a meat cleaver
Drained the sleeping victim. The murderer
deliberately hacked the body to pieces, sewed
the severed members in bag and dropped
them into the river. When sufficiently
sobered to realize the terrible deed he had
committed he fled the country, arriving IN
Chicago after almost two years wanderings
Wilson was seen i'll his cell at the police sta
ton last night. He is small man about y
years OF age. native of Nova Scotia, where
his parents and relatives reside. Since his
arrival IN Chicago, he has worked for a milk
man on Wentworth avenue. He says he
has been nearly frantic ever since he COM
mtted the deed ana has valnly tried to drown
his rem0rse with liquor. When told that his
story had been verified by the Philadelphia
detectives, Wilson appeared pleased at the
information, As to his punishment he ap-
pears somewhat careless. He would rather
not be hanged, he says but seems to think
that will be his fate

A COWARDLY ASSAULT.
How Man Ensnares Gang OF Robbers.

BosToN, Oct. 6.
w. +. Butler, G. II. Sheehan. w. Duffy
and jeremiah Toomey were arrested early
this morning, charged with assault and at
tempted highway robbery upon Hugh Cough
Ian on Albany street. Coughlan was on his
way home when the gang pounced upon him,
demanding his money. He replied that he
had none but that his credit was good at a
neighboring hotel. After assaulting him and
knocking him down, they agreed to let him
off he would stand treat at the hotel which
he consented to do. As they came from the
hotel, Coughan pointed out his assailants
to the officers and they were arrested after
showing considerable resistance. In court
they were severaily held in $1,000 for appear
ance at the superior court. The prisoners
are members of the Albany Associates, -
who have club room in south Boston, and
who have committed State Prison offences
almost without impunity. These arrests, it
is believed, will effectually break up the
gang. Sheehan has served a term in State
Prison, and Toomey has served u time in the
house of correction.

! 1t is officially denied at the postoffice de.

The President today appointed Freeman

first district of Missouri.
When the Senate meets there will be list
of betw cen five and six hunered postmasters

confirmation. In addition it is estimated that
during tine session of Congress the terms of
at least 600 postmasters will expire. 50 the
nominations of over 1000 postmasters will

ers in this country and at the rate that has
been observed during the past six months all
the presidential postmasters will be changed
in two years.
A meeting of the cabinet was held TODAY at
which all the members were presen. except
Secretary Whitney. Among the questions
considered were the Spanish commercial
treaty and several appointments under the
treasury, interior and justice departments.
The secretary of the treasury TODAY re-
terred to the attorney general for his opinion

forcement of the Chinese restriction act.
grants TO land in British Columbia and cross
the border into Washington territory. When
such persons were found they were taken
back into British Columbia and warned not
TO return to the United States. 1t is possible
that many Chinese laborers who had entered
the United States in various other ways were
driven back to British Columbia under the
impression that they came from there. The
authorities of British Columbia protest
against this practice and call attention to the
law imposing a tax of $50 per head on all the
Chinese who land on British possessions.
The collector at Port Townshend reported
the situation to the treasury department and
asked for instructions. The secretary has
called on the attorney general for his opinion
and it is likely that the matter will be brought
before the cabinet at the next meeting.
