END oF.raE LONDON STRIKE.

The Agreement Signed-A Victory for
 the Becknen-Stipulati of the
 Agreenent-The Lerd Mayor Re.
 views . Procession of Doekmen.
 LONDON, Sept. 15.-The agreement entered into between the dock companies and the strikers was signed to-day. The agreement includes a stipulation that contract work shall be converted on the 4th of November next into piece work. All payments are to be made directly to the men under the super vision of the dock officials. Laborers who worked during the strike are to be treated as follow workmen by the strikers, and the directors pledge themselves not to show re- sentiment against the strikers.
 The credit for terminating the strike is due to Cardinal Manning and the Lord Mayor. Cardinal Manning, In spite of his eighty years, has been indefatigable and has been on the spot throughout. The Lord Mayor, as business man, has carried great weight with the directors. His great contri- button to the settlement has been in getting the strikers to see the unfairness and of ex- pecttng the directors to revise the rates i'm mediately, when they have outstanding con tracts on the old scale.
 LONDON, Sept. 16.-The dockmen formed in procession to-day and marched to the Mansion House, where they were reviewed by the lord mayor and Lady Msyoress. The men, as they passed the balcony upon which the lord mayor and his wife stood, cheered enthusiastically. The Australian flag had the place of honor in the line. From the Mansion House the paraders marched to Hyde Park where they held a meeting. There was an enormous crowd present, but perfect order was maintained, from which MT. Burns and others made addresses. Resolutions were adopted expressing gratitude toward those who assisted the men during the strike.

A DEEP SCHEME.

A Gang of Brooklyn Brands Lay for
 Unsuspecting Western Firms-Their
 Little Game Closed by the First Ma
 tional Bank.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The First National bank of Brooklyn has notified the police of that city of a gigantic scheme just started to defraud western merchants of goods and large sums of money. The conspirators gave the fictitious address of No. 72 Arch street, Brooklyn, order goods in the western coun- try, and for reference ask their victims to write to Horace Walters & Son at the above address in Brooklyn. The letter is written, and in reply the writers receive from Horace Walters & Son favorable answer, saying that the party asked about is responsible in avery particular. To give color to the stand- ing and responsibility of Horace Walters & Son, the letter is written upon an elegantly engraved letter head stating that the firm was established in 1860 and have a capital of $l ,OOO, 900. Superintendent of Police Camp bell says that he has had several complaints from banks in the State and had referred the matter to Postmaster Hendryx, as it properly came under the postal laws. The postma aster says that he has known of the existence of the fraudulent firm for some time, but as there is no Arch street in Brooklyn had sent all letters addressed to that firm to the dead lettar office

THE FASTEST WAR SHIP AFLoAT.


A Mos1 satisfactory Trial of the New
 Steel Cruiser s'BaltimOre.'
 PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 15.-The new steel cruiser Baltimore, which left her dock at Cramps shipyard on Wednesday last and proceeded down the Delaware river as far as the Delaware Breakwater, returned this af- ternoon. A broom fastened to the foremast and arother to tho mainnast were public evidence of the success obtained by the builders of the vessel. Her commander, Captain Schlsy, said that the trip was en- tirely satisfactory and successful and that the engines were all right and worked ad- mirably. The vessel went eighty or ninety miles out and is a beautiful sailer. "You can be perfectly confident in saying that she is the fastest man of war afioat.n
 Another officer stated that the Baltimore left last Wednesday and anchored off Ship John Light, the weather being then too rough for her trIal On Friday morning 8 preliminary trial was had and on Saturday l she went out for her regular official four hours trial under command of Captain Jo- | seph Steel. All data and indicators, taken every fifteen minutes from both ends | of every cylinder on the ship made, for three
 hours an average of about 20 2-1O knots an hour in pretty good sea. Many of the people on beard thought she WAS making better time but allowing for l all errors in calculations, log-lnes, etc., she is believed to have made 20.2 knots. The trial indicates, 1t Is said, that she is the fastest vessel of any ship of her tonnage afoat and the fastest man-of-war of any country. The 2. Baltimore ran straikht
 ahead all the time. There was nothing from the time she left the dock until her return
 that accustomed any stopping. It is also
 stated that the Baltimore will probably go
 more than 10000 horsepower, and as ,00( horsepower was the amount contracted for 1t will in this case, if true, give the Cramps
 bonus of at least ,0O0 horsepower. It will
 be two or three weeks before the calculations to be made by the United States officials will be completed and made public.

PeR&IHs Down Roses. TTror,, Uiok,a Ma oeziuo

This is another way of making our gardens more interesting, and may well be done in the case of all vigorous growing roses. Beds, bor- ders, or groups of roses 50 treated are among the most delightful thing in garden. If the long shoots of the past seasons growth are begged down to the ground, they will flower their whole length; whereas if left standing, only the upper buds will break, and if prun- ed hard back, beauty is literally and needless ly sacrificed. A strong shoot is usually thrown up from the base of the one begged down, 80 that when pruning time eomss the operation here is simply to cut away the old shoot and peg down the new one, and SO on year after year. One season of growth, anoth- CT of flower, and then the shoot is cut away: thus the roses are ever being rejuvenated and the youthful vigor brings abundance of bloom.
 A bed of noss roses treated in this way has certainly been one of the prettiest things ] have seen this summer. But all roses that make vigorous annual shoot can be similar Iy treated. Gloire de Dion, Bouquet dor, Reve dor, Madame Berard, and others oi this class often make shoots six or eight feet long in one year, and what could be more beautiful than to see them bearing flowers their whole lengthf

 BOSTON, Mass, Sept. 15.-The Norwegian steamer Dana, which arrived here last night from Baracoa, brought seven members of the crew of the Italian bark Catarina R., which was abandoned in a sinking condition.
 Captain Michelsen reports that on Septem- ber II, when in latitude 37 deg. 46 min. north, longitude TO deg. 50 min. west, he sighted the Catarina R., dismasted, short distance to the leeward. The Dana's course was immediately altered, and she steamed toward the sinking vessel. Just before get ting within hailing distance several men were seen olingipg to the foremasthead. The steamer hove to and laid by her. A boat manned by Chief Officer Michael Michacison, Carpenter Michael Hendrickson and Seaman Peter Abrahamson, was lowered and they succeeded in rescuing the men. It was a hazardous undertaking, as the sea was run ming very high and the gale was raging at the time. Captain Moltola, of the Catarina R., and five seamen were washed off the ves- sel and drowned on the 10th.

RATE-MAKING.

A Proposed Gigantic Association
 Which Will Control the Rate-Mak-
 ing on all Roads Between tho Atlan.
 tic and tho Missouri River.
 CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-The Times tomorrow will cay:
 A movement ia on foot among the passen- ger men, both east and west of Chicago to form gigantic association in which shall be invested the rate making power for the entire territory between the Atlantic and the Mis- souri river. The movement is still in its in- fancy stage, but those who have given the scheme serious consideration are of the opin- ion that it is not only practicable, but cer- tain to result in great benefit to the railroads If put into operation. A similar plan has been taken among the lines extending from the Missouri river to the Pacific coast, and the present prospects are that 1t will be adopted. Should both these schemes be put of the country will be merged into these two great organizations. The time is propitious for such 8 movement.
 The plan is to have severe penalties for violations of rules and provides that all dis putes among roads regarding rates and diff ferentials shall be settled by arbitration, that all diffsrentials shall be published in the rate sheets issued by the association, and that every purchaser of ticket may thus be sd. vised in advance just what concessions are held out by the weaker lines without making tour of investigation among them all The opinions of general passenger agents are be- ing gathered regarding the scheme, and If the result justiiss it meeting will be called in the near future to discuss the matter.

WORSE THAN THE BLIZZARD.

Captain Barnes of the Pilot Boat Fun
 nell, who was Out In Both, Says so.
 LEwEs, Del, Sept 15.-The Delaware pilot boat E. w. Tunnell, which 1t was feared had been lost at sea during the gale, returned to Lewes this morning, safe and souud, with all hands. She had pretty rough experience.
 Pilot John M. Barnes, who was in charge on her perilous cruise, gives the following account of their experience since Tuesday morning: They encountered the gale in it's force at o'clock Tuesday morning, ten miles off the Capes, and were forced to double reef the sails The gale increased to hurri-
 cane, the mainsail was blown from the bolt ropes, causing the necessity of heading off shore before the wind until twenty miles of,
 when with great difficulty they got storm
 trysail on her and hove to, lying easily and gradually working off shore.
 In the night of the gale the oil bags were
 brought into use and gave some relief from the dangerously heavy cross seas. The wind veered to the north and lulled little Wednesday night, when they got double reefed foresail on her. She was headed for the Capes, and made very slow headway until Thursday morning, when more sail was made and the wind being more favorable she made 102 miles. On Thursday evening Hog Island was sighted, and the Tunnel arrived at the Breakwater this morning at three o'clock. She shipped heavy sea on tuesday up setting the cook stove, utensils, etc. He was out in the blizzard of March, 1858, and thinks that the recent gale was heavier than the one experienced at that time.
