Parade of X. of l..

CHICAGO, September 6.-The annual
street parade in this city to-day was the
most noteworthy ever made by the labor
organizations of Chicago. The day was
warm but perfect in all other respec S for
street display. The column began moving
ut 1890, but moving steadily, it was
nearly three hours in it's passage. The
column was divided into nine divisions, and
a clos. computation puts the number of
marchers in line at between 3Oand 35 900.
The features Of the parade was contained
in the remarkable uniformity shown by
each division of the marchers the latter all
being equipped with canes, and generally
wearing slouch hats of gray or dark colors.
All the trades marched by columns OF
fours, well closed up and generally moving
with great precision and regularity. One
column OF 500 employees OF bank sale manu-
facturers wore white ties. A column of
journeymen ia ilors numbering 900, wore
white derbys and presented probably the
finest appearance OF any distinct body OF
marchers. An American flag was carried
by each division. One Of the trucks in line
carried the figure OF !. twenty-foot giant
stamping out cheap labor idealzed by the
figure OF Chinaman. One OF the Knights
OF Labor assemblies carried a barrer in
scribed "I-void all Politicians"
| IN NEW YORK.
This being a legal holiday set apart by
the Legislature for the laboring classes, it
was celebrated by monster procession
by the different labor organiza tions, fol-
lowed by a picnic. Every trade was repre-
sented in the parade which was consti-
tuted, it was said, between $4,000 and
10000 workingmen. The procession

avenue and moved to Union Square,
where it was reviewed by Mayor Grace.

Dr. Bishop Accused of Bigamy.

LAKE MILLS, Wis, Feb. 26.-A suit for bigamy is the latest outcome of .the scandal which young Dr. Russell T. Bishop, son of ex- Congressman William D. Bishop of Con- nectieut, has brought upon himself by drink ing habits. He came here with his young wife in 1886, 0,receiving an allowance from his father. His dissipation reduced him to such a state that Aln Mrs Bishop went home to her parents in 1883.

Mrs. Bishop has instituted bigamy proceedings and the papers are in the hands of the district attor- ney at Watertown, Wis. Bishop is twenty five years old and graduated from Yale col ieoa

A LETTER FROM SUNSET cox.

He EnclOses a Check For the Parnell Fund.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Mr. Moritz Herz- berg, of this city, has received the following characteristic letter from Hon. s. s. Cox: UNITED STATES LEGATION,
 CoNsTANTINoPLE, Feb. 6.
 My dear friend Herzberg-yours is at hand. I never can or will forget your gen. erosity in voting for me in 1884. If there were no gratitude in my heart for such & demonstration I would deserve to be exiled forever from the old Eighth assembly district and from the society of good men. You are pleased to think of me again as resuming a seat in Congress and from your district. Yours is one among many such wishes and coming from afar they seem to be more earn est in their wishes. But I am not yet re- signed to leave this post. There is much of interest and of duty here in which I have become absorbed, and if my superiors treat me as I have right to expect in nay work I may be happy even under the shadow of the Sultan's palace. In fact Turkey has not such a bad government as is painted. There is much of ''home rule" from the early Greek civilization and from municipal and treatal freedom, much more and much better than Ireland has had under the light of the nineteenth century with positive rule in London and at Dublin castle. I send you my little ontribution, although I have not failed in other quarters I hope MT. Parnell will seize the day and make home rule capitalized and crystalline feature.
