GOTHAM'S CLOAK MAKERS.
The Great Lockout Virtually Ended
in Victory for the Men.

The Great Lockout Virtually Ended
in a Victory for the Men.
New YORK, July 16-The great cloak
lockout is virtually over This morning the
various committees met in conference and
agreed to sign contract binding the manu-
facturers to take back all their
union hands and discharge any man now
in their employ who would not join the
union. Perfect harmony was not mani
tested, however, for the cloak operators,
through their representatives refused to
sign the agreement unless the manufactur-
ers consented to an unconditional
discharge of the non-union workmen.
This the manufacturers refused to do, so the
cloak operators still remain out, whilesthe
cutters and contractors, having signed the
agreement, will return TO work at once. The
men return to work with flying colors, hav-
ing virtually gained all their demands from
the employers.
General meetings Of the cloakmakers were
held tonight. The contractors union re-
fused to approve the action of the delegate
they sent to the conferences. The cutters
have stood by their representative. This
leaves the amalgamated union somewhat
disrupted, and 1t is impossible to see the
result. There is some excitement in the
district where the operatives reside.

to the coloquy which occurred yes
terday between the gentlemen from
Illinois and Tennessee (Messrs Can
non and Houk) during which, he said,

Chairman Cannon Disputes Senator
Allison's Figures.
WASHINGTON, July 16.-Chairman Can
non of the House appropriation committee
is dissatisfied with the statement Of the
total Of the appropriations at the present
session as made by Senator Allison few
days ago, and he (Cannon) has prepared a
statement in which he estimates at $780,
100000 the sum chargeable against
the revenues for 1891. If the
sinking fund be deducted from
the sum there remains $3.50, 900, 900. Mr..
Cannon then goes on to say: 1.-THE ordi-
nary revenues of the government for tho
fiscal year ended June 80, 1890, are reported
by the treasury at S4O2. .OS3, 900. Under the
existing laws there is no reason to antici-
pate less sum from the ordinary revenues
during 1891. The postal revenues for
1891 are estimated by the Postmas-
ter General at S65, ,414,0OO, making
a total of S467, 497, 900. Deducting the ag-
gregate appropriations of $3.50, ,0O0, 900 there
will be a surplus of of $117, ,497, 900, which is
more than ample to meet the requirements
of the new pension law and the reduction of
taxation from the enactment of the Nc
Kinley bill, estimated at $50, 00,000n

FRYE ON RECIPROCITY.
A Claim That Spain Would Not Meet
Us Half Way.


Us Half Way.
WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator Frye, in
reply to Secretary Blaine's letter of July IL,
has written him as follows:
Your letter leaves me in some doubt as to the
facts. l assume that your views are contained
in what is known as the Hale amendment-that
you know, for instance, what the Latin repub-
lies will receive of ours free from duty in com
pensation for free sugar. l assume that that
amendment was the result of an investigation.
The difficulty about it is this:
The amount of sugar to be received
from these states would be comparatively
small, and the consumer of the sugar would
receive no benefit from it. Your letter to me ex-
tends that era Of reciprocity to Cuba and Porto
Rico, and admits that if sugar is received free
from these islands, as well as from the Latin
republics, the people would be benefited, and
sugar would be practically free. But will
Spain admit into those islands free of duty
the list of articles named in the amendment
OF course we could not enact law more favor
able to Spain than to the republics. Do you
know what Spain would exchange for free
sugar? Can you give a list of articles she would
receive? The better way, probably, would be
to make a list she would receive a controlling
one for all these countries.

STATE OF THE TREASURY.
The Republicans Deny That it is as Bad
Reported.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-The republicans
in congress are beginning to think about
the state of the treasury, and although it is
not, they say, as bad as it has been repre-
sented to be. it is bad enough to prevent
the passage Of the river and harbor bill, the
bounty subsidy bill and the fortification
bill. The difference between the estimated
receipts and the estimated appropria-
tions for the current fiscal year
varies from SO, 000,00 to 10000, 900 in diff
ferent calculations, each making different
estimates for the appropriation bills not yet
passed, excluding the SIS, 900. .000required for
the disability pension bill, and the 500, 900
required for the postal subsidy bill (which
may yet get through the House), or total
of from S34, 900, 900 to SAC, ,000,000 Deduct
ing from this amount the river and harbor
appropriation, 500 900 900, and the fortifica-
tion appropriation, S6,00O.000, there is
almost a deficiency of S12,000,000.
WINDOWS FIGURING.
Over against this Secretary Window sets
these sums. Present surplus in the treasury,
$40, 100000; deposits to redeem notes of re-
tired banks, S56000, 900 this sum to be
covered into the treasury as a miscellaneous
receipt under the terms of the silver act):
increase of the revenues on account of the
Mckinley administrative bill, 5000, 900;
total, $l52,000,000; to say nothing
of the S49,000,00 required for the sinking
fund, which Secretary Window and all the
republican leaders hold can be withheld by
the Secretary of the Treasury at any time.
Secretary WINDOWS calculation is some
what rose-colored and 1t will not control
the imagination of hard-headed republicans
in both houses who do not propose to make
bad matters worse If they can help it. The
greatest expenditure of money has been for
pensions. 1t will help defeat the force bill,
but it will not take raw sugar off the free

SUBSIDY BILL CHANCES.
Republican Capitalists Trying to Push
the Measures.

WASHINGTON. July 16.-Thomas c. Platt
of New York, Thomas Dolan of Philadel-
phia and other distinguished re-
publican capitalists were at the
capitol to-day at different times see-
ing what could be done to put through the
House the Frye subsidy bill, passed by the
Senate Saturday. They found that nothing
could be done until Speaker Reeds commit
tee on rules should set apart day for their
consideration in the House. They found
that Speaker Reed and Chairman Mckinley
were willing to report in favor of setting
apart day for their consideration and to
help pass them. "They redeem the pledges
of the republican platform" but they found
that Mr. Cannon, the chairman of the appro-
priations committee and third republican
member of the committee on rules was not
so disposed, and SO the utmost they seemed
to be able to expect is that Mr.. Cannon may
agree to set apart day for the considera-
tion of the postal subsidy bill, which would
carry S7OO, 900, it is estimated, the first year.

BERLIN, July 16.-The Hamburger

seeks to modify the statements ascribed
to Prince Bismarck in the Frankfort Jour
nal interviews. The Nachrichten denies
that Prince Bismarck initiated the in
ternational labor conference. He
considered international protection
of labor chinlera. He did
not propose the conference because he
thought 1t would tend TO convince that
labor measures were of doubtful wisdom.
He approves legislation securing workmen
against old age, accident or illness, but not
measures interfering with the independent
relations between the men and their en-
ployers. he says that secret peace would
not be secured by giving way to the cove,
tous spirit of the workmen.
