Mrs. Newman, representing the Indus
trial Home, an Incorporated institution of
Utah, addressed the Senate committee on
education and labor today, advocating an
appropriation for the support Of that insti-
tuition. She is endorsed by the Utah Com
mission, by Chief Justice Zane and his asso-
ciates, by Ex-Governor Murray and the Gen
tile clergy of that Territory. The object of
the institution is to fit for self-support such
of the women and girls of Utah as wish or
can be induced to escape the evils of polyg-
amy. Mrs. Newman made an eloquent ad-
dress depicting foreibly the horrors of a
polygamous life as described to her by
women who had them, and stated it as the
belief of the intelligent Gentiles of the Ter
ritory that if an opportunity of escape were
afforded many Mormon women who are now
in the condition of slavery would be rescued.
The Mormon Legislature, she said, could
not be depended upon, of course, to give sup
port to an institution of this kind. The Gen
tiles of the Territory, who were to make
their fortunes, could not identify themselves
with it, since that would result in business
ostracism, and the Gentle missionaries had
not the means to support the institution
Mrs, Newman represented the local senti-
ment among the GENTLE portion of the Utah
community as favoring, first, government of
the Territory by a commission; and second,
disfranchisement of the women in the Ter

Chamberlain on Home Rule.

LONDON, May 7.-Mr. Chamberlain has
written letter in reply to one asking him if
he would support the home rule bill ON its
second reading, provided it be considered
simple affirmation of the principle of home
rule, leaving the question of the retention of
Irish members open for consideration in.
committee, in which he says: 'If Mr.. Glad
stone will maintain the Imperial Parliament
as the supreme representative authority in
the kingdom, will gratefully accept the
concession and vote for the second reading
of the bill. But am unable to find in Mr..
GladstOnes manifesto any such assurance.
He urfro to grant Ireland the right to
manage her own affairs, but if geographical
considerations must yield to national sentl-
ment, then the prayer OF Protestant Ulster
for separate consideration deserves equal
attention to that given to the demands Of the
population which Mr.. Parnell represents.
The fate of Ulster lies IN its own hands. Ii
IL Is earnest IN refusing to crtr4st its liner
ties and fortunes to the Dublin Parliament,
fellow subjects in England and Scotland will
never suffer the Obstetrics to be coerced into
submission. The extension of home rule to
Scotland and Wales depends on the main
tenance of the united representation of the
three countries in one supreme Parliament
leading to the future federation OF the
great dependencies of the Crown and weld
ing them into a mighty and harmonious
empire. Mr.. Gladstone's alternative has
rendered necessary anomalies and restric-
tions which no true Liberal will approve.
He has brought us within measurable dis
tance of civil war, threatening the ultimate
creation of foreign hostile nation whose
conquest is actually contemplated as
possible eventuality by the promoters Of the
measure. So long as unanimity prevails In
matters of such paramount interest, 1t is I'M
possible for those who value the unity of the
empire to affirm the principles of the bill.

Business SUFFERING at Pittsbure.

PITTsRURG, May THE labor difficulties
have crused depression in business that is,
perhaps, doing more injury to the building
trade than to any other. 1t is estimated that
nearly half million dollars worth of bust
ness in Pittsburg and Allegheny has been
lost since the labor troubles began Build
ers and contractors complain about con-
tracts that they have broken, plumbers and
supply dealers, furniture and lumber men of
orders that have been countermanded, and
architects are idly waiting for orders for
plans. The iron and steel trade is suffering
heavy loss from labor troubles. Orders are
being countermanded and and every one is
uneasy. No manufacturers are buying stock
and hold what they now have The advance
in the price of carrying ore, of coke. and the
wages of the laborers, added to a feeling
that the end has not come yet, makes all the
iron men very shy.
The building trades strike for shorter
hours promises to result favorably to the
men. -Four furniture factories started up to-
day at the strikers terms and all of the 9th
ers are expected to follow within the next
twenty-fou hours.
The threatened strike of engineers and
iremen of the Pittsburg and Western, and
the Pennsylvania, Pittsburg and Toledo
railroads will not take place.
