conference report on the sundry civil appro-
priation bill.
Mr.. Cannon explained that in the former
conference all disagreements had been set
tied except the disagreement on the Senate
amendments relative to irrigation and to
the survey of public lands. The Senate had
placed legislation of wide-reaching import
ance on the bill. The House conferees
would have been glad to have dispensed with
any legislation, but the Senate c0nferees had
insisted upon it. The report was the result
of compromise.

from sale wet of the Tooth meridian, was so
modified that all entries made in good faith

A Large Increase Reported for the
Past six Months.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 25.-This week s
Bulletin of the American Iron and Steel
Association will say: I'VE present in this
issue another notable advance in the pro-
duction of pig iron in the United States
The total product of pig iron in this coun-
try IN the first six months of 1890 was
5, 1853, 737 net tons, or 4.6l5,S37 gross tons i:
an increase of 754, ,653 net tons over the
production in the last six months of 1889,
when we produced 4. .415. .0S4 net tons.
A STEADY INCREASE.
Zach half year except one since July l.
1885, has witnessed an increase, in most in
stances a very heavy increase over the pro-
duction of the preceding half year. But
the increase in the first half of 1890 over
the last half of 1889 has eclipsed all previous
half yearly increases. Each important pig
iron producing state showed an increased
production in the first half of 1890
over the last half of 1889
except Michigan and Tennessee, but
much made more pig iron in the first half
of this year than in the first half of 1889.
The proportion of Pennsylvania in the total
production in the last half of 1889 was 40
per cent, Ohio IA per cent, Alabama 1876
per cent. and Illinois 72 per cent. In the
first half of 1890 the proportion of Penn
sylvania was 49.2 per cent, Ohio 1872 Der

TERRE HAUTE, IND, Aug. 26-The
official statement of the supreme council Of
the United Order of Railway Employees of
the result of the conference over the New
York Central strike is very long docu-
ment, largely composed Of the story of the
Central strike and condemnation Of Vice
President Webb. Tho strike of the
Centrars men is given the seal
of approval, and Mr.. Powderlys
course is praised The council say
that, owing to the fact that the order of the
knights of Labor is not a member of the
federated orders of railway employees, the
laws Of the supreme council do not permit
more than it has done TO aid the Knights of
Labor. telegram was sent to Mr.. Pow
derby this evening after the council ad-
lourned in which Mr.. Powderly was told
that
The council was unanimous in indorslng your
position ana the position of the grand execu-

conflict on the New York Central may finally

PowDERLY AT ALBANY.
ALBANY, N. Y, Aug 25.-General Master
Workman Powderly and four OF the five
members of the general executive board
arrived here this morning and spent the
day in conference with District Assembly
No. 246, and hearing the statements of
twenty or thirty of the men whose
discharge constituted the grievance which
led to the strike. Mr.. Powderly reiterated
the assertion that his Investigations have
confirmed his conviction that the dis
charges we're the result of a preconcerted
plan to drop all the prominent leaders in
the circle of the Knights of Labor. Nothing
has been given to the public as to the inten-
tions of the Knights of Labor, nor any utter
ance as to the action of the conference at
Terre Haute. No aggressive move has been
made to-day.

SEATTLE, WASH, Aug 25.-AdmiraI
Brown Of the flag ship Charleston, which
has arrived here from Honolulu, expressed
a belief in an interview to-day that the next
steamer from the Hawaiian Islands will
bring news of a revolution and probably
the declaration of new republic. He said:
Hitherto the Hawaiian government has
been managed largely 10y Europeans and
Americans, but educated natives are begin

duct the Hawaiian government and that
the part played by foreigners in the control
of affairs was an unwarrantable lnterfer-
ence with sacred rights.
HAWAII FOR HAwAuANs.
Accordingly the schooled. natives gath
cred around the band of foreigners,
is daily increasing, who have raised the cry:
Hawaii for Hawaiians." The revoIu-

the Convention.

JACKSON, NJ S., Aug. 25.-The commits
tee on elective franchise Of the Mississippi
constitutional convention has practically
completed its labDrs, and will be ready to
report in day or two. The committee was
in session all day considerating the report
OF the subcommittee on apportionment,
which has been outlined in
these dispatches This apportionment
will give the whites majority of nin8 in
the Senate and twenty in the House. The
plan was freely discussed in the full com
mittee to-day. and material notifications
were suggested, some of which doubtless
will be accepted. A rough draft Of the
report of the subcommittee on franchise is
IN the hands OF the print er, and will be con-
sidered by the full committee of thirty-fiv
tomorrow.
THE QUALIFICATIONS PROPOSED.
1t provides for an educational Qualifi-
cation limited TO knowledge of reading and
writing, or in lieu thereof a property
qualification of $3.50; for residence In the
state of two years and prepayment of poll
tax OF 81. 1t is suggested by the sub
)mmittee that the educational and property
qualification requirements remain in-
operative until the year 1896, and that in
that time all elections be held under
the Australian system as embodied
in the law Of the state
of Tennessee. Whether these recommenda-
tioIs will receive the assent Of the full COM
mlttee or the convention it is impossible to
foretell. Nothing is certain except that a
majority of the delegates favor the Dortch

afternoon, but transacted no business be-
yond referring to committees dozen or so

He Was About to Enter His Carriage

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Representative
Lewis f. Watsol of Pennsylvania died very
suddenly this morning in this city. He was
about to enter a carriage at the Shoreham
hotel to drive to the capitol about IL O'Clock
whea he was suddenly overcome by an attack
of heart disease and died soon after being
carried into the hotel.

Pennsylvania.

The dead Pennsylvania member was
Quay republican, who voted for Speaker
Reed at Senator Quay's direction IN the

Quay fnds some consolation in the thought
that State Senator Lewis Emery may be

lican candidate for congress, to press his
charges against Candidate Delamater. 1t
is believed here, however, that Senator
Emery will not permit his lips to be scaled
in this way.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Congresssman
Hatchs attitude on the lard bill has not ad-
vanced his prospects among the southern
members as candidate for the speakership.
Mr.. Hatch was more loyal to the agrioul-
tural committee than to the democratic side
of the House while the matter was pending.
The southern members almost unanimously
opposed the bill. Mr.. Hatch resented the
suggestions made by the leaders of his
party on the floor, and in a marked way
placed himself in antagonism to the position
occupied by them. AS Mr.. Hatch's friends
expect him to reach the speakership largely
through the support of democrats nomi-
nounced and vehement advocacy Of bill
directed at a southern product has been
matter of considerable comment.
