Creditors Losses in England.
From the Pail Mall Gaz tie.

J IUIII tlIt
Creditors in England and Wales lost
by bankruptcy proceedings last year no
less a sum than e7,1l5,000. But this
does not show the whole of the losses
caused by defaulting debtors. The an
nual loss bv private arrangements is es-
timated at 60 200, which brings the
total loss last year up almost to 10000,
900. Although the amount is so large,
it falls far short of the annual losses
from bankruptcy alone prior TO 1888,
when the present bankruptcy act was
passed. Going back ten years, the net
estimated losses to creditors through
bankruptcy were as follows:

The proportion of assets to liabilities is
much greater under private arrange
mCnts than under proceedings in bank
ruptcy, for while the proportion under
the latter has ranged during the last
four years from % to 81 per cent, the
proportion under the former is at the
rate Of % per cent. Those who
administer the bankruptcy act
claim that this result IS mainly
due to the increased desire on the yyart
of debtors to avoid the searching inves-
legations to which they are subjected
under the act. The figures given above,
it should be noted, do not include the
losses caused by insolvency of limited
liability companies, as to which
no statistics are at present
available. The failures OF the
publicgus and hotel keepers, who head
the list o. trade defaulters, have been
steadily rising, being 2S5 III number in
1855, 80 in 1856, and $40 in 1887. Build
ers' failures have also increased i'm a
similar manner, the numbers during the
three years being, respectively, 239, 255,
and 2S9. There has been a large amount

The Ohio delegation came in yester-

who came with them were enthusiastic
for Thurman.
Last night VIM. L. Scott stated at a
meeting of the Pennsylvania delegation
that he advocated the nomination of
Judge Thurman for Vice President.
Last night reporter again called on
ex-senator Thurman, and found him in
cheerful spirits. He talked freely upon
the prospects of the coming Conven-
tion, and said; Don't understand
that am candidate in the sense of
seeking a nomination, for I am not.
AS I said before, I am willing to accept
if there is anything like unanimity of
feeling at st. Louis that would in any
way add strength to the ticket.
Senator Voorhees,, of Indiana, arrived
yesterday afternoon. To reporter he
said: eyes. I regard the nomination
of Governor Gray to the Vice-Presiden-
cy of the most vital Importance to

of Indiana to the Union in 1916, no

THE WAGE SCALE,
NOW TIE LEADING TOPIC OF C0NVBRSA-
TON IN IRON CIRCLES
An Authority on the Pure Water Qusston--Will the
Price Of Nails be Made Uniform The
Gas Consumers Committee.

The most absorbing matter at present in
iron circles is the session of the Wage Com
mittee of the Amalgamsted Association,
which body convened at Pittsbura yester-
day. Both manufacturers and workmen
are deeply interested in the report which
the committee is to make, and there Is a
great deal of talk to be heard upon the sub
jsct in both this city and Pittsburg. The
committee will remain session for several
days, and the report, whatever it may be,
will be all ready 10 lay before the session
of the Association, which is to be inaugur-
ated the coming week. Yesterdays work
of the committee Is said to have been Of q
purely preliminary nature, and without
special Importance.
The Recommendations of the subordinate
Lodges of the Association have been al
most unanimously in opposition to any
reduction, and there seems to be some dis
position on the part Of the manufacturers
to waive any attempt to make direct cut
in rates. One gentleman is thus quoted
by reporter of the Pittsburg Com. Gaz.:
IL am no. on the scale COMMITTEE and do
know what that body may do, but / think
move is in contemplation to reduce wages
in q roundabout way. Instead Of propos-
ing straight reduction Of 10 or 15 psr
cent, they will reduce the minimum of
the card rate At present the minimum
is 2 cents for bar iron, upon which base
the rate for boiling is now $3.50. Accord
ing to the rules We caunot &c below 2
cents, and it makes no difference how low
the price of bar iron gets We have to pay
the same wages. Mind you, the 2.cent
rate Is not the actual selling price for iron
under any rules of the association.
Each member is allowed to sell his iron
Just for whatever it will bring, and
il he sells il for cent he has to stand the
loss. The 2.cent rate is but the basing
price. When the price of bar iron is based
for boiling increases to s. go per ton. For
every 1-10th of cent the card advances
wages 90 up 10 cents per ton, but the rate
for boiling cannot be made less than S. so.
In flush limes--during the war; have
seen the minimum card base 60 as high as
8 cents-
"The idea among number of manufac-
turers is to reduce the minimum Of the
card from to / or II cents. If the scale
would slide both ways and the rule max
ing the minimum cents was withdrawn
the price Of boiling would he reduced to
S., provided the minimum was made !
cents. think this plan is what will be
agreed upon. Our Scale Committee meets
next week, and know of several of the
members who will q gitate the above idea"
