LONDON CHEAP LABOR.
Shocking Condition. of Things Among the

Shocking Condition of Things Among the
Poorer WOrkipsnen.
LONDON, Aug. 24.-The first report
from the select committee of the House
of Lords on the Sweating system, which
has just been promulgated, re- eals such
a shocking condition of things among
the industrial and laboring classes as to
compel immediate remedial meas
ures on the part of the gov
eminent. The committee has heard
evidence concerning the boot and shoe
trade, cabinet making, upholstering and
chiefly tailoring, an occupation in which
the worst evils complained of exist
Into all these branches of industry the
competition of female labor largely
enters. 1t has been made patent that
not only in the East end, but in other
parts of the metropolis as we'll as in
provincial towns and rural districts, the
grave evilsrevealed by this investigation
prevail. Other Industries not yet ex-
amined are no doubt affected by the
same canker, and indeed the COM
mittee have received many applications
alike from trade societies and individu-
ais praying for an extension of the in
quiry. The committee has in response
to these demands asked for and OBJ
tanned powers to extend the area OF
their investigation.

OPIUM THIEVES In JAIL.
Three Prominent Citizens of Ogdensbur,
Arrested for Larceny.


OGDENsBURG, N. Y, Aug. 24-This
city is wild with excitement to-day
over the arrest of three of its most rep
utable citizens-John w. Stone, lawyer:
Nathaniel H. Lyttle, Jr., deputy collect
er of customs and VIM. J. Cumminsky,
ianitor of the custom house. Warrants
for their arrest were sworn out before
United States Commissioner Fair
child, Of Buffalo, N. Y. H. B. Crow
lev and Maurice F. Holohan, specia,
AGENTS of the Treasury Department.
The charge is that the defendants con-
spired to and did steal 700 pounds of
opium from the custom-house in this
city. The arrests are the outcome of
the arrest of Erwin r. Gardner, which
took place at Osdensburg last WINTER,
when he and his cousin, Ephraim Gard
ner, were captured with nearly sos, OOO
worth Of opium In their !.osse ss on. 1t
will be remembered HAT Erwin Gard
ner was arrested day or two ago III
Chicago IN connection with the same
case.
The examination was adjourned till
tomorrow and (al was demanded in
$4,000 each. Being unable to furnish

division. The deficiency bill was taken
up and after an amendment had been
adopted appropriating $685., 4S2 to meet
the deficiency for the transportation of
mails on railroad routes the House adj
journed.
THURSDAY, Aug. 23.-In the House, on
motion of Mr.. Grosvenor (O.) the SEN
ate bill was passed declaring that GER
tain water reserve lands in Wisconsin
are subject to the provisions of the act
of Congress granting to railroad COM.
panies the right Of way through the,
public lands of the United States The
House then resumed the consideration.
of the conference report on the Army
Appropriation bill. The conference re-.
port was rejected, SO to 81, and the
House further insisted upon it's dis
agreement to the Senate amendments.
anda further conference was ordered.
FRIDAY, Aug. 24.-The house after dis
posing of some routine business, went
into committee of the whole on the de-
fciency appropriation bill. The pend
ing question was ON the appeal taken
by MIR. Dibble from the decision of the
chair ruling out the provision for the
payment of the French spoliat;on claims
on point of order. When vote was
taken, the question of no quorum was
raised and the matter went over. A
resolution was passed directing the
printing of $4,000 copies Of the Presi-
dents message on the fishery treaty.
The House, without quorum, took a
recess, the evening session to be for the
consideration of private pension bills.
SATURDAY, Aug. 25.-The absence of a
quorum again prevented the transaction
of any business in the house to-day.
Mr.. Burnes MOI moved that the House
60 into committee of the whole on the
deficiency appropriation bill. No quo
rum voting on the motion, call of the
House was ordered. While the roll
was being called, the colleagues of
Messrs. Grout (Vt.) and Dargan Is. c.
asked that the absent members be ex-
cused, but in these and other cases Mr..
Payson (Ill.) objected. The roll
call disclosed the presence of I52
members. Mr. Payson offered a reso-
luton revoking all leaves of absence,
except those granted on account of i'll
ness, this revocation to take effect on
Monday next. Mr.. Dunn (Ark.) of
fered an amendment TO Mr.. Payson's
resolution directing the sergeant-at-
arms to inform absentees by telegraph
of the action of the House. Mr.. Dunn's
amendment was agreed to, and as
amended Mr.. Payson's motion was
adopted. After consuming couple Of
hours in vain effort to secure a quorum,
the House adjourned.

is shrouded IN gloom. She awoke this
morning from a night of horror.
The mammoth paper mill of
q. A. Whiting burned at IL
O'Clock last night, and with the explo-

men lost their lives and large number
were crushed, mangled and bruised. 1t
was an awful night, the like of which
was never experienced in this manu-

At few moments after IL O'Clock the
alarm was sounded. The fire burned
slowly, but before the local fire
department could respond the
mill was enveloped in flames
and all possibility of saving it
had vanished. The fire caught in the
boiler room, in a large quantity Of
fuel, shavings, etc. The fireman,

WEST DON'T FEAR WAR.
The British Minister Expects settlement
of the Fisheries Question.

New YORK, Aug. 23.--Sir Lionel S.
Sackville West, British minister to the
United States, said to-day that the re-
lection of the fisheries treaty was no
surprise to him. He thought the
result would not be serious. 1t
Was matter certainly to be regret
ted. as the treaty offered fair and hon
orable solution of both governments of
vexatious questions. When asked what
he thought the British government
would do in case President Cleveland
enforced the retaliation act, he replie ed:
1T is impossible for me to tell, but am
constrained to believe that the matter
will be settled in some way before any
serious action is taken"

BITTER FIGHT IN BERLIN.
Exciting Election Struggle at the German
CAPITOL.

LONDON, Aug. %. : The published
dispatches from Berlin and the
local papers do not fairly rep
resent the excitement which
prevails there over the approaching
elections. Berlin. although immediate
ly under the eye OF the government,
has always sent Liberal or Opposition
members to the Reichstag and Landtag.
Extraordinary ehorst are being
made through official influences.
to reverse this. The new emperor
wishes to see his capital what his adu-
lators call ''loyal city," and
its representatives in the legis-
lative bodies in range with the con-
sentative forces which are a main sup
port of the Empire. The Mil
itary party cons der it scandal that Ber-
lin should be constantly in opposition
to the policy Of the government. In
the meantime the Liberals and Radicals.
are as determined as ever.
