NEW YORK. April 13.-[Special THE
annual meeting of the trustees of the John
F. Slater fund was held to-day at the Office
of President John 81. Stewart, of fthe United
States Trust Company, in Wall street.
The trustees, who were reelected, are:
Chief Justice Melville w. Fuller, of the
United States Supreme Court; Daniel G.
Gilman, President of the Johns Hopkins
University; Senator Alfred H. Colquitt,
Bishop H. Z. Potter, John A Stewart,
Morris X. Jesup, William E. Dodge,

A new policy in regard to the colored
schools of the South was adopted. The
number of schools to receive aid will be
reduced to include only IL or 13 of the
largest. This course is taken in
order to devote more money to
the education of colored teachers.
The trustees think the industrial schools,
which will not be aided under the new ar
raugement, are now in position to 20 1t
alone because of the many gifts they re-
ceive. Last year 81 schools received aid to
the extent Of $40, $50.

THE BUSINESS WORLD.
The Steel Association Bulletins Re-
port of Unsold Pig Iron
SHOWS A SMALLER CONSUMPTION.
Amendments to the Interstate Law Recon-
mended by the Commissioners.
FIRES, FAILURES AND RAILWAY NEWS

PHILADELPHIA, April 13-The Bulletin
of the American Iron and Steel Association
will say in its issue tomorrow:
The Association has received from the pig
iron manufacturers full returns of the stocks
Of unsoId pig iron in their hands or in the
hands Of their agents on March 81 last, and
also full returns Of the number Of the fur
naces III blast at that date. This Information
has been compared with similar re-
turns received for December 81, last. All the
pig iron which has been sold and is yet on
the furnace banks, and all pig iron which is in
stock, but is intended for the use of the
manufacturers in their own rolling mills or
steel works, has been excluded from the
comparative tables. The figures given,
therefore. relate solely to such stocks of pig
iron as were actually on the market at the
two dates mentioned.
On the Slst of December last the stocks of
unsold pig iron which were in the hands Of
the makers or their agents amounted to
596, ,S3S gross tons, and in addition there were
in storage warrant yards 80, 800 gross tons,
which were no longer under the control of
the makers, making total of 7,2ss gross
tons Of unsold pig iron. On the 3lst of
March last there were in the hands of max
ers or their agents us, ,679 gross tons of pig
iron. and in addition there were Al, ,020 gross
tons in storage warrant yards which the
makers no longer controlled, making 759, 500
gross tons of unsold pig iron, or 132, se6 gross
tons more than on December 81. This is
the largest stock of pig iron ever carried by
the furnaces OF this country. the next
largest stock being at the end Of 1874 and
1875, when they amounted to 710. 52l and 679.-
$50 gross tons respectively.
But our consumption in those days was not
half what it is to-day. The number of fur
naces in blast has decreased from BIB on the
31st of December to 279 on the 3lst of March,
or "a in all, a fact which would afford much
encouragement were it not accompanied by
an increase in stocks. Taken together, the
decreased number Of furnaces in blast and
the large increase in stocks in three months
plainly indicate that the consumption otspig
iron has greatly fallen off during that
period.

COLUMBUS, O., April 13.-[Speeiol IAN
important bill to the laborers of the State
was passed by the House to-day. It regu-
lates the employment of the inmates Of the
penitentiaries, reformatories and workhouses
so that it will not interfere with outside
labor. Mr.. Flickinger, the author, ex-
planned the bill, and it was passed by q
unanimous vote 1t provides that the
total number of prisoners and in

The Senate refused to concur in the
House amendments to the McConica bill to
increase the number ofSupreme Judges. The
Democrats voted against the concurrence for
political reasons. The House amendment
increased the number of judges to six, and
provided for dividing the court into two
divisions, of equal authority, to try cases.
This would relieve the overcrowded docket,

Badly Battered Up in Quarrel With Ono
of the Original Big Four.
NEW YORK, April IA Special. ]-Charles
De Forest, who used to be one of the variety
combination known as 'the Big -Four, I"
walked into the Fourteenth Street Theater
tonight, with man who said he was j. G.
Campbell, Wall street broker. De Forest
slid card into the box office and
asked for tree admission to Lydia Thomp-
sons entertainment. The ticket seller,
Doorkeeper Thompson, who is Manager
Rosenquest's father-in-law, and Ernst
Hutchinson, Miss Thompson's husband and
manager, successfully told the actor that
they did not know him, and could not admit
him. DeForest andCampbell abused Hutch
inson in loud tone, disturbing the audi
ence. Doorkeeper Thompson went out for
policeman and Hutchinson turned
to walk away. While his
face. was half averted DeForest
raised a heavy walking stick and struck
Hutchinson three times on the face. He
broke the cane on the third blow, and
struck an attache who interfered to protect
Hutchinson.
Policeman Reed took DeForest to the
Thirtieth street station, and another police
man collared Broker Campbell. Hutchin-
son was dazed by his beating, and was
lifted into cab and drawn to
the station. His clothes and face were
covered with blood. DeForest said he had
struck in self-defense. Sergeant Carbry
locked both DeForest and Campbell up,
Hutchinson's wounds were dressed and he
was taken. home to the Westminster Hotel
in cab.

ALL THE ADMINISTRATION.

Everything Went One Way at Harrisburg-
The Allegheny New Democracy Turned
Down-Huckestein and Frasher Garry
Their Contest to the Chicago wigwam.
The claims of the Harrity people in the
Twenty-fourth Congressional district were
verified this morning when the district
meeting was held. 7. h. Sharpnack, of
Greene, and s. l. Mestrezat, of Fayette,
were named as the ones to 60 to
the Chicago convention, and J. d.
Brader, of Washington, was nominated
for Presidential elector. This result was
accomplished with the aid of two votes
from Allegheny, cast by L. M. Pagan and
j. Wershercher. Fagan's entire delegation
was instructed in favor of W. A. Sipe, and
the friends of that gentleman were more
than indignant when the result was
announced. Sipe is the leader of the new
Democracy Of Allegheny county, and that
organization will now be more bitter in its
attacks upon the powers that be than ever.
The decision of all the Northside contests
in favor of the Harrityites of course knocked
out Huckestein and Frasher as delegates to
Chicago, and Osburn and Kunkle we're sub
stituted in their places by the victorious
faction. The contests brought by the Guffey
peOple III Iuc L lISI Leg UlSGIlCt WCIc
thrown out and in the Second and Seventh
districts the anti-Guffey contestants were all
seated, making the delegation a unanimous
one.
c. NJ King, Chairman of the recent Sec
ond District Convention, and one of the
bounced delegates, says: 'The action of
the committee is an outrage. No matter
what may be said of other districts, the
delegates from the Second were honestly
elected, and the administration knows it. 3"
"I am very well satisfied with the result"
said P. Foley, who failed to get on the
slate for delegate at large himself but was
instrumental in the selection of Meyer for
the place. "There were outrageous methods
adopted by the opposition in Allegheny
recently, and the worst that they can say is
that they got dose of their own medicine.
Meyer and Kunkle are very much
pleased with the fact that theirs is the last
laugh, and the opinions of the minor MEM
bers of the contingent are colored by their
respective applications
Some of Guffey's supporters make hard
threats, but the winners are confident that
nothing serious will happen.
On the delegate-at-large vote, Allegheny
county gave Guhey II, Wallace II, Baer Q,
jerks 1, O'Brlen 10, Hensel "a, Ross q,
Singerly 13, Hall 1S, Meyer "a, Herring 20,
Mckinney 20 and Robinson 81.
Tonight Huckestein and Frasher, the
bounced Northside national delegate aspi-
rants, took out necessary contestant papers,
and will make contest before the conven-
zion at Chicago. There is, though, very
little prospect of to-day's verdict being
reversed

NEW YORK, April ID Special. IA suit
of Alex Stewart, who says he is a grandson
of a brother of Alexander T. Stewards
father,to eject ex-Judge Henry Hilton from
a parcel of the former estate of Mrs.
Stewart, was begun before Judge
Pryor, of the Court Of Common Pleas, to-
day. In the defense appear Elibu Root and

sented him to-day.

the heirs, for which adverse possession the
plaintiff claims $40, 900 damages, as we'll a.
