FEARFUL oF DEFEAT.
BLAINE'S REVOLT.
AIdrich Talks the Situation Over With
the President.

Aldrich Talks the Situation over With
the President.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Senator Aldrich
took dinner at the white house this evening,
50 as to talk the situation in the Senate over
with the President. The debate of to-day,
more interesting than the debate on any
other day preceding, showed how diverse
are the views of reciprocity taken by differ
ent republicans, and how necessary mutual
agreement privately is in order to maintain
an appearance of harmony before the peo-
pie. Secretary Blaine's speech, delivered
by Senator Hale's language, showed that
Secretary Blaine has not yielded as much
as his opponents have thought, and that he
is prepared to press them pretty
closely. President Harrison is greatly con-
cerned at this He thought he had settled
with Secretary Blaine at Cape May Point
for good and all, 80 far as this question was
concerned, and be looks upon Secretary
Blaine's speeches in and out Of the Senate
as almost involving a breach of faith
Nevertheless, he and Senator Aldrich are
still hopeful that the republican senators
can be gotten together on the Aldrich
amendment.

POLITICS RED HOT AT ROME.

The FELTON, Convention-Ha rgrove's
Nomination Not Dangerous.
ROME. Ga, Sept. 2.-The clans are gath
eriug for the congressional convention of
the Jeffersonian democracy, which meets
here tomorrow. A special train will be
run from Cedartown tomorrow. The opera
house has been engaged for the convention.
DIR. FELTON, will speak tomorrow night IL
nominated and of course he will be. Thou
sands will listen to him. The convention is
the topic of the hour N the streets and in
the hotels.
The fact that r. d. Hargrove, postmaster
at this place, was nominated as the repub-
lican candidate for congress by the Dalton
convention yesterday excites but little in
terest here. Hargrove will get some negro
votes from DIR. FELTON, and also some from
alliancemen, as he advocates the st. Louis
alliance platform as a whole. His race will
not be exciting.
Col. John Temple Graves returned from
Polk county tonight. He went there for
information as 60 Col. Everett's platform,
but Col. Everett was away from home.

It's Presid snt THINKS It VIII Encourage
Great Labor Revival.
LIVERPOOL, Sept. AT the session of
the trades union congress to-day MIR. Wat
kins, president Of the congress, delivered an
address, in which he said he hoped the re-
suits of the congress would encourage a
great labor revival. Never in the history
of trades unionism had there been such re-
markable developments as had recently
occurred. The time had undoubtedly ar
rived to energetically try to
secure working day of
eight hours. He did not fear that an eight
hour day would injure British trade. He
did not thinks bill providing for such a
working day should be forced through the
House of Commons Immediately, irrespec-
tive of the wishes and desires Of the indus
tries affected, but there was no reason why
an eight-hour day should not be conceded
Immediately to those occupations which un-
mistakably wanted il.
LABOR REPRESENTATION IN PARLIAMENT
He advocated direct representation of
labor in parliament, state control of rail
ways and solution of the land question by
naturalization.
A resolution was offered by one of the
delegates censuring the committee ap-
pointed by the last congress for failure to
draft bill for presentation TO
House of Commons providing for
legal working day Of eight hours
as it had been instructed to do by congress
The resolution occasioned stormy debate.
A number of speakers warmly favored the
adoption of resolutions of censure. Henry
Broadhurst, delegate TO the congress aud
member of the House of Commons for West
Nottingham, defended the action of the
committee iE not drafting and presenting
the bill to the House. The resolution was
finally rejected.

STEENSTRAND SUSPENDS.
HIS LOSSES DURING THE LAST
TWO MONTHS 100000.

His Brokers had Everything Hedged,
so that the Narket was but Little AZ
fected-He Pays His Brokers 90 Cents
on the Dollsr-New York Takes q
Gloomy View.
LIVERPOOL, Sept. 2.-Mr. Steenstrand,
large cotton dealer, has failed. The
brokers OF Mr.. Steenstraud closed all his
transactions yesterday in accordance with
private arrangement which provided for
his paying to them 60 cents on the dollar
The posting of Mr.. Steenstrand was the caus
of heavy fall yesterday morning in cot
ton, but prices recovered after it became
known that his transactions had been
closed.
THE MARKET NOT AFFECTED
The brokers with him have been particu-
lar careful to have everything hedged, so
the crash did very little harm
In the cotton market A few
young and inexperienced firms are the
only sufferers A year ago Mr., Steenstraud
possessed 100000 Half of this amount
was obtained from the new salt union for
his interest in the Cheshire salt works. It
is asserted that he now has nothing but the
furniture Of uis house. His failure Is at
tributed to the fall in prices and the col
lapse OF the cotton corner. His losses during
July and August are Estimated at 1900, 600.
A HEAVY OPERATOR.
New York, Sept at is stated in Wall
street that Mr. Steenstrand, who was known
as the cotton king, is estimated to be worth
$780, to $i.0O0,0o0, and carried line of
100000 to 125, 600 bales of near options. Ib
Is considered bad failure, and is due to
recent heavy declines i'll spot and early de-
livery cotton.

The State Board of Arbitration Begins
It's Session.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-The state board of
arbitration begun its investigation here to-
day as to the difficulties existing between
the New York Central railroad and the
knights of Labor. The witnesses examined
were Vice President Webb of the Central
road, Grand Master Workman Powderly,
District Master Workman Lee Of Assembly
246, j. j. Holland Of the executive COM
mittee of the Knights of Labor, and a num-
Der of former employees of the Central road,
whose discharge brought the strike about.
Their testimony added but little to the his
tory Of the strike as it is already known.
COUNSEL OF THE KNIGHTS.
Roger A. Pryor appeared as counsel for
the knights. He endeavoTed to find out
from Vice President Webb IL the Knights
of Labor question had been discussed by the
board Of directors of the Central road, but
the board declined TO admit the question.
"That shuts us off" remarked Mr.. Pryor,
turning around to the Knights of Labor
executive committee
ENGAGEMENT OF THE PINKERToNs
Vice President Webb said he arranged for
the services of Pinkertons men some time
before the strike When asked about the
details of the arrangement Mr.. Webb de-
clined to answer by the advice of his coun-
sci. Mr.. Webb did not seek the protection
of the police authorities prior to employing
Pinkertons. This concluded Mr.. Webb's
testimony

BERLIN, Sept "A meeting of socialists
was held here last night, at which the
editor of the VolksbLdtt udfolded the pro-

the year must elapse without the operation
OF the socialist law in order that the social
istic discussion might arrive at clear
understanding He demanded that women
should be allowed to vote, and that religion
be declared a private matter. The radical
wing of the party attempted to unfold their
programme, but found no support.

Charles II. Amsden Nominated for
Governor on the First Ballot.
CONCORD, N. H, Sept. 2-The demo-
cratic state convention met here to-day,
with 616 delegates present, and j. P. Bart
lett of Manchester in the chair. The first
regular action was the adoption of plat
form.
Charles H. Amsdeu, of Penacook, was
nominated for governor on the first ballot,
and the convention adjourned.
The platform denounces the Republican
parUy's course since coming into power /;
denounces the Mckinley bill; denounces
Speaker Reeds arbitrary course in the
House, and that Of his party denounces the
unjustifiable unseating of democratic men,
bers; scores the force bill. and declares in
favor of tariff reform.
The remainder of the platform deals prin-
cipally with state affairs, demanding laws
for the regulation of the liquor traffic, the
adoption of the Australian ballot system, and
statutes for the better protection of factory
operatives, and refers to the state tax laws
A resolution of sympathy with the people
of Ireland is appended.

CHICAGo'S CARPENTERS.
Their Strike Opens as an Uncertain
Quantity.

Quantity.
CHICAGO. Sept. 2.-The great strike of
the journeymen carpenters opened this
morning, an uncertain quantity. At
neither the headquarters of the journey
men nor the bosses was it known to what
extent the order to quit work had been
obeyed. The strike opened, however. diff
ferently from any that has been inaugu-
rated here for years. At the headquarters
of the journeymen, where heretofore it has
been always claimed that every carpenter in
the city obeyed the mandates of the council.
1t was admitted this morning that perhaps
some, and perhaps a great many, had not
done so this time. At the headquarters of
the old and new bosses associations, where
on the other hand the Inauguration of the
journeymens strike is declared to find no
men idle, it was said to-day that perhaps q
great many laid down their tools for time
on Saturday night. The bluster Of the
antagonists is missing to-day. Each seems
to be watching the other, and to be care
fully sizing up the situation before any
comment is made.

MIssIssIPPrs CONSTITUTION.
The Committee on Franchise Makes its
Report.

JACKSON, MISS. Sept. 2.-The long ex-
pected report of the committee on elective
franchise was formally presented to the
constitutional convention to-day by Chair
man Patty, and. at bis request. its consid-
GRAFTON was made the special order for
Friday. The features of the report have
already been given in these dispatches. In
order to secure unanimity it was agreed by
a vote of IL TO IL not to make report at
present upon the woman suffrage question,
but the matter will inevitably come up in
the shape of supplemental report.
THE QUESTION OF RATIFICATION.
The question of submitting the constitu-
tion for ratification came up to-day on
resolution providing for the appointment
of committee to prepare an ordinance
calling for an election by the people to
ratfy or reject the new constitution. The
resolution was tabled by a vote of IA to 81.
Senator George therefore submitted q
resolution, which was adopted, instructing
the judiciary committee to inquire into the
constitutional power of the convention to
adopt finally the constitution which may be
framed by. them without submitting the
same to the public for ratification.
ABOLITION OF CONVICT LEASES.
The report of the penitentiary committee
bu6 COuNlCt l6dSlDk SIS-
tenn was debated to-day at some length,
but not disposed of before adjournment. 1t
will doubtless be adopted tomorrow by a
significant majority.
The minority report of the committee on
education was presented, and will doubtless
supplant the majority report. 1t differs
from the latter in allowing the poll tax and
district school taxes TO be applied in the
counties where the money is collected
instead of going into the general state fund,
as recommended by the previous report.
FEELING OF THE CONVENTION.
The sentiment of the convention is favor
able to the report of the committee on elect
i've franchise, and there is no probability
that it will encounter any serious opposition
from any quarter.
The real fight of the convention will take
place over the Judiciary problem, large
number of delegates favoring a change from
the appointive to the elective system. The
bar of the state, backed by a strong force
of delegates, will oppose any change, and a
struggle Is anticipated.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-In connection
with the presentation of the conference
report on the river and harbor appro-
priation bill in the House to-day, Chair
man Cannon of the committee on appro-
priations made an exhaustive statement
touching the expenditures authorized dur
ing the present session of congress. His
conclusion is that there will be a surplus of
revenue above the expenditures for the
fiscal year of $50, 1886, ATS.
SAVERS AGREES WITH HIM.
Mr.. Sayers of Texas, on behalf of his
democratic colleagues on the appropri-
ations committee, presented a similar
statement. From precisely the same
sources of information used by Mr.. Cannon,
the democratic members deduce an excess
OF appropriations above the revenue for the
fiscal year of 81, ,430, ,442 So.
Mr.. Allison, in the course Of his speech In
the Senate to-day. made an elaborate expo
sition of the financial situation as he under
stood 1t, and he figured out a surplus for the
fiscal year of between $14, ,000, 900 and s15.-
600, 900. with sugar on the free list.

The returns thus far received indicate
not only that the republican vote is very
