tural Iron Company, Of New Albany,
Ind, signed the Amalgamated scale.
Nineteen firms have so far granted the
demands Of the workmen.
The situation at Singer, Nimick &
Co.'s works has not changed. The mill
was in partial operation to-day with
about 200 men, and the firm claimed
that they would have no trouble in get
ting all the workmen necessary to run
their plant in full. The Amalgamated
Association and the knights Of Labor
have declared war against the mill, and
all members who return to work before
the scales are signed will be black
listed.
The galvanizing department Of Moore
head, MCLEAN & Co.'s mill started up
this morning with their old workmen at
last years wages, pending the settle
ment OF the scale by the other manufac-
turers. 1t is understood among the
.workmen that the firm will sign the
scale as soon as they are ready 10 start
the other departments.
This afternoon the Kittanning Iron
Company, Of Kittanning, Pa, sent to
President Weihe, OF the Amalgamated
Association, for a scale which will be
signed at once. The works will be
started tomorrow, giving employment
to five hundred men who have been idle
since last spring.
The closing Of the iron mills has not
as vet had any noticeable effect upon
the coke trade, but should the lockout
continue for another week furnaces now

PHILADELPHIA, July 9.-Through fear
that the law may yet reign in Glouces-
ter, N. j., preparations have been made
for entertaining thirsty Philadelphians
on Burlington Island, opposite Burling-
ton City, on the upper Delaware river.
There are base ball grounds for Sunday
playing, and floating bar so arranged
that in case OF an assault by the officers
it could get away. Interviews with q
number OF bakers show that the demand
for bread has increased largely since the
high license law went into operation.
Most OF the licensed saloons have raised
the price OF beer by the quart, and re-
duced the size OF the glasses. The wives
OF the workingmen say that their hus.
bands are unwilling TO pay the advanced
prices, and there is much more money
at home. On the Fourth Of July there
were but sixty arrests for drunkenness.
Last year the arrests were 200, although
the police are unusually lenient on

WASHINGTON, July 9-In the Senate
this morning Mr.. Stewart, speaking to a
motion to refer a vetoed pension bill to
the Committee on Pensions, attacked
and severely criticized the President for
vetoing 80 many private pension bills.
The Presidents action he thought un-
reasonable, and he doubted il the neces-
sity was so great as TO justify the Execu-
tive in assuming legislative powers so
iequently.
MIR. Vest defended the President. Mr..
Stewards proposition, he said, was mon
strous, and the President was as much
required TO scrutinize the smallest PEN
sion bill and give it his approval or re-
turn with his veto as he was to examine
and act upon the largest appropriation
bill.
On motion OF Mr.. Payne, the House
Joint resolution declaring the true inten-
ton and meaning the act OF 9th Of May,
1888, as 10 the Marietta Centennial Ex-
position, was taken up and passed with
amendments.
The Senate then, on motion Of Mr..
Cullom, proceeded 10 the consideration
OF Senate bill To amend the Interstate
Commerce act.
Mr.. Reagan offered an amendment,
which was agreed to, giving to the
United States Circuit and District Courts
Jurisdiction of violations OF any proyis-
ions OF the act upon the relation OF any
person or firm with power to issue per-
emptory writ OF mandamus,
Mr.. Reagan said he had given notice
OF an amendment extending the provis-
ions OF the act to express companies,
sleeping car companies and stock car
companies, but as it was likely to pro-
woke discussion and to retard the pas
sage OF the bill, he would reserve the
for next session.
Mr.. Reagan intimated that the Com
mission had shown too much Of a vac
illating disposition in dealing with the
companies.
Mr.. Wilson, OF Iowa, also criticised
the c Commission for construingsome pro-
visions OF the law to the advantage OF
the railroad companies.
Mr.. George offered an amendment pro-
hibiting carriers from transporting goods
for any shipper in a car or vehicle owned
by such shipper unless they charged ex-
actly the same rates as were charged to
other shippers.
Finally theamendmentwas withdrawn
on the promise by Mr.. Cullom to have
the question thoroughly considered at
the next session OF Congress.
After an executive session the Senate
adjourned.

ENTHUSIASTIC WRIT co. REPUBLICANS

A Splendid ConventiOn-Ticket Nominated.
Private DaIzeIl Opens the Campaign.

ELIZABETH, W. Va, July O.-The Re-
publicans of Writ county held their con.
vention Saturday, and it was grand
opening OF the campaign in this section
OF West Virginia. 1t was by all odds
the largest and most enthusiastic con.
vcntion ever held in Writ county. The
Republican vote Of the county is about
900, and when it is said that over 500
delegates were present in the conven-
tiou, ION the mass convention PLAN and
the streets were full Of people besides, it
will be understood how large the crowd
was. Tho delegations began to arrive
early with flags flying and all in royal
good humor, decent, orderly crowd,
oyertlowing with enthusiasm for Harri-
son and Morton. Old gray haired men
in almost every wagon cheered for Tip
pccanoe MS they did forty-eight years
ago. On the whole II was u most inspir-
ing spectacle all day long. An exceed.
ingly pleasant feature OF the occasion
straw which indicates which way the
wind blows in Writ connty-was the
number OF Democrats present who
strongly expressed their intention to
vote for Harrison and protection to their
lumber, wool and farm products. The
following ticket was nominated:
House OF delegates, Hon. ]. w. Depew,
the present able incumbent; Sheriff, E.
X. Woodyard; Commissioner, ]. E.
Catherine; Assessor, NJ. F. Kiger; Sur
yeyor, D. NJ. Summerville.
After the convention Private Dalzell
was introduced by I. A. Brown, Esq.,,
and made one OF the greatest speeches oI
his life. He arraigned the Administra-
ton OF Cleveland and discussed only the
business and tariff features of the cam
paign. Those who counted on his
Haunting the bloody shirt were much
surprised ut the course adopted by the
distinguished speaker. Free Trade Dem
ocraCy was thoroughly riddled by the
gallant Private, and the Republican
theory Of Protection to home industries
was ably discussed. As the Private sal
down Republicans and Democrats alike
gathered around him and warmly shook
his hand and commended the able arUu
ment he had made.
Atnight he lectured to full house in
the court room on his favorite subject
OF "The Boys in Blue" and on Sunday
spoke in the NJ. L. Church on the tenn
perance question.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July O.-General G.
B. Abbott, Commander-in.C Chief Of the
Sons Of Veterans Of the United States,
arrived in the city on Saturday from
Wheeling, where he had been COM
pleting arrangements for the national
encampment, to be held there Septem-
ber 10, 10 and II. This promises to be
the largest and most successful encamp-
ment the order has ever held. Speak
ing OF the order generally, General Abb
bolt said it was in very tlourishing
condition and growing rapidly. "Th0
order now numbers 65,000 members" !"
said he, "and has about $500 camps,
and is increasing at the rate OF about
1000 members per month. 1t has
camps in every State and Territory in
the country, except the four States OF
Mississippi, Georgia and the Carolinas."
Colonel Horace H. Hammer said that in
Pennsylvania the order is growing rap
idly, and is in vigorous and healthy
condition. There are 2l2 camps in the
State, with membership OF over 8, 1000"
said he. During the past year forty
new camps have been instituted in this
State, and during the past two weeks
Colonel Rake and l have mustered in

est membership and the largest number
OF camps. Pennsylvania is second, with
Illinois following close third"

Against the Product of Japanese Cheap
Labor.
WASHINGTON. D. c., July 9.-The Sem
ate Tariff Committee have given hear
ings to-day to the manufacturers Of
cuffs and collars, of crinoline clothes
and tarletons and to parties interested
in the silk schedule. Incidentally a
new and interesting feature of the Chi
nese Tor more properly the Japanese)
cheap labor problem was developed.
The silk men stated there is on sale in
New York to-day silk manufactured and
printed in Japan, similar in quality to
that procuredin Lyons and they prom
iscd evidence to the committee. Their
argument in this connection is that silk
manufacturers are opening establish
ments in the East TO get the benefit OF
the cheap, labor OF those countries, with
out which they sayitwould beimpossible
for Americans to compete on eventerms.

DETROIT, MIcH., July 9.-There has

is almost without a parallel. She is the
daughter of Joseph Martin, a respected

and as Miss Bagg, the latter name being

ed, and said she had asmall check which
her employers could not cash, as they
had made their deposit for the day. The
check was cashed. This movement was
repeated after this in various places.
Her most remarkable exploit, how
ever, was an attempt to collect $5S Of a
New York correspondent Of the firm.
A telegram was received at the office
saving that certain dispatch sent to the
correspondent had not been delivered,
as he was out OF town. No Telegram had
been sent by a member OF the firm and
an investigation was made. This re-
suited in showing that the girl had sent
the following telegram to the firms New
York correspondent:
"If we do not receive your draft by 8
o'clock we will foreclose."
For these and many other like at
tempts to get money the girl had but
one exCuse-that she had told her
mother she was ut work, getting 50
week; therefore, she felt obliged to OBJ
tain at least that amount OF money in
that way each week.

The Marriage of the Duke of Marlborough
Said to be Illegal.
New York, July 9.-The Herald says:
His grace, the Duke of Marlborough,
and Mrs. Hammersly, in spite OF the
Mayor, clergyman and Mayoralty kiss,
are perhaps only the Duke OF Marl-
borough and Mrs. Hammersly.
1t seems after all, from what the law
yers say, that the good people who as
sembled in the pleasant corner room in
the city hall on Friday, June 90, did not
see what they thought they had, and
what they went TO see-awedding. They
witnessed ceremony, but the lawyers
say it is not a marriage, because It is
void, according to the laws OF the State
OF New York. Serious doubts can be
properly entertained as to the legality Of
the marriage; and further, innocently
enough to be sure, the Duke is possibly
guilty OF bigamy under the law OF this
State, and the Duchess, or Mrs. Ham
mersly, likewise.
