When Woman Proposes.

The custom of women having the
privilege to propose in leap year is
supposed to have its origin in statute
published by the Scotch Parliament
in the year 1888. This queer ordin-
ance read as follows: ut is ordaint

Majestic Margaret, like maiden, ladee

In one respect at least Quito, tha
capital of Ecuador, is the most unique
city in the world-it is situated in both
the northern and the southern hemis-
pheres, distinction claimed by no
other place of Importance on the globe.
At Quito the sun rises and sets at six
o'clock the year around. You may for
get to wind your watch while you are
visiting the Ecuadorean capital, but you
need not hunt up a regulator-set it
when the sun rises or sets and you will
be sure to be right. Old Sol makes no
mistakes. In one part of the city the
summer season does battle with old
winter, who is just across the street.
The seasons, as far as names are con-
cerned. change almost instantly; but,
as the temperature is remarkably even,
these curious points are seldom thought
of or commented on by the $4,000 people
who make Quito their home

MORE MEN OUT.
The Workers in Carnegie's Pittsburg Mills
Also on Strike.

PITTsBURG, July 15.-Yesterday after
noon the members of the Amalgamated
Association employed in Carnegie's Union
iron mills at Goth street and at 33d street
carried out their threat to stop work I'M
less conference. was opened by Chairman
II. G. Prick with the Homestead work
men. Shortly after, about2 o'clock, as
their heats were run, the men began leav-
ing the works in squads.
By o'clock the mills were practically
deserted. The move was in sympathy
with the locked-out men at Homestead,
and independent of the Amalgamated As
ISOLATION, the strikers voluntarily forfeit
ing any claim upon the Associations treas
ury in the nature of strike benefits or
financial assistance. The men do not fear
that their places in these mills will be
filled with ''black sheep" and have no
idea when they will be ready to return to
work.
This is the busiest season of the year in
these mills, and builders will be especially
affected by this strike. Superintendent
Dillon shook hands with many of the men
as they left, expressing regret at the
course they had adopted. He could give
no information as to the course the COM
pany would pursue. The laborers will be
kept at work few days longer.

HOMESTEAD UNDER MARTIAL LAW.
The New Order Causes No Excitement and
All iS Quiet.

The New Order Causes No Excitement and
All ID Quiet.
HOMESTEAD, July s15.-The proclaim
ing of martial law in Homestead has
caused no particular excitement. Hugh
O'Donnell, the young leader of the work
men, when informed Of the fact said he
was glad of it, because the city Is full OF
strangers. and there is need of good police
supervision. He said:
"Our police will not now be held re-
sponsible for the action of these strangers,
who do not appear to be workmen, but
idlers, camp followers and general rasca1s.
They have not come here to take the
places of our men, but to rob and pill
lage."
Mr.. O'Donnell continued; "Be assured
that the protestations of our men of friend
illness for the soldiers are sincere. They
are not the disingenuous protests of men
with treacherous hearts, as some Of the
officers seem to think they are. We do
not intend to fight or to make any trouble,
but all hands are willing to obey the
law"
Mr.. O'Donnell declared that there would
be no address issued to the men concern
ing the proclaiming of martial law, as it
was not needed. The men, he was con-
fldent, would be moderate in all their &C
lions and strictly observe the rules and
regulations established by the military
authorities.
The new order of things appears to be
looked at by many Of the workmen as q
sort Of huge joke, and there has been
much laughter and jesting about the mar
tial law. There is little or no bad feeling
about it, and all hands have begun to sub
NIT to the changed condition of affairs
with a good grace, which is really aston
ishing under the circumstances.

Brooklyn Briefs.

Catherine Hogan, aged 50, died this
morning at her home, As South River
side street. The funeral will take place
Sunday afternoon at o'clock. Inter
ment in Calvary cemetery.
"A party of about twenty-five young
men arrived unexpectedly at the home
OF John Early, on Simon street last
evening, provided with music and re-
freshments, and proceeded to have a
general good time for several hours.
Mr. EARLY was more than surprised to
see the party, nevertheless he gave them
genial welcome. John Byron, Jr, acted
as spokesman for the visitors and gave
Mr. Early to understand that there was
no politics in it. The inimitable Ed
Sicily convulsed all present with char
actexistic song and dance. Myron Chat
field, William Kennedy and Ambrose
Guilfoile entertained with numerous
songs.

Mr. Frick said one roller in the 26-inch
mill earned in "A days $685.. 05 and another
In 90 days $247. The six heaters in the
same mill averaged $3.50 per month. There
will be no change in the wages of these
men.
As to the mortgages held on property
of employees at Homestead, Mr.. Frick said
these papers were issued only to aid the
workmen in building homes. Never once
has a mortgage been foreclosed. The IN
terest charged is per. cent. The men
are allowed the same rate on moneys
deposited with the firm. These sums
amount to $14O, 900. The mortgages amount
to $4,000. The witness refused to an
swer definitely what Rbasis was taken In
averaging the sliding scale, but said IL
was about 1914.

The examination of Mr.. Prick was close
" pressed by all members of the Com
mittee. 1t was unsatisfactory to Messrs
Gates and Bynum, who endeav0red &c
break through Mr.. Tricks reserve ano
learn something of the expenses and prof
its of the Carnegie concern. While the
latter was extremely nervous, he did not
commit himself on this point.
The House Committee returned tc
Washington last night.
One of the committee said, at the con-
clusion of the investigation, that the
work would greatly assist the passage of a
compulsory arbitration law and also an
anti-Pinkerton law. Bills for both OF
these objects have been introduced into
Congress. This member said the commit
tee was unanimous in favor of such bills

LONDON, July 15.-At meeting of the
London Trades Council last night the fol-
lowing resolution, concerning the Home
stead strike, was passed:
"Resolved, That we earnestly protest
against the employment by Andrew kCar-
negie of q gang of irresponsible armed
DULLES to coerce the men struggling
against a reduction of their wages"
The Council also expressed their hope
that the men would continue their fight
against the company, and criticised Mr..
Carnegie on the ground that he did not
prosecute his ''wen-boomed philanthropy
at home, rather than on English soil.

Women Who Deal In Tea.

There is in London firm of women
tea merchants who have bought an es-
tate in Ceylon and carry on their bust
ness entirely through women blenders,
tasters, packers and agents. The great
est difficulty encountered by the women
is in packing, but this they are fast con-
quering under male instructors. The
rooms where this essentially feminine
luxury is dispensed in London are
marvelously decorated and daintily ap-
pointed and are becoming favorite
rendezvous for women, where they
meet and entertain their friends in the
nearest approach to the mans clul
method vet evolved.

Gladstone Considering Such - Plan
j His Comments ON the Midlothian Vote.
, LONDON, July 15.-The totals, SO far as
Nhe returns have been received, show 24S
Conservatives, 235 Liberals, 80 Liberal
Unionists, 81 Anti Parnellites, Parnell-
ties; net Liberal gain, 81.
MIR. Gladstone and party, who arrived
in Brasmer last evening, are lodged in the
suite Of rooms occupied by the German
Emperor Frederick in 1887. Mr.. Glad
stone looks trife jaded. He says he ex-
poets majority Of fifty. He is evidently
mortified by the result in Midlothian.
During the journey he constantly referred
to the subject, and deplored the fact that
set religious bigotry above the principle of
Justice to Ireland.
Mr.. Gladstone had hearty reception at
Aberdeen, and cheering crowds accom-
panied him to the station when he started
for Braemer. In conversation on the SUBJ
ject of the Midlothian election, Mr.. Glad
stone ascribed his opponents large vote to
the powerful and incessant appeals of the
Established Kirk. he said that, notwith-
standing these appeals, the result shows
that q majority of electors of Midlothian
favored disestablishment.
Mr.. Gladstone said that the people, in
whose good Judgment he had entire faith,
would teach Parliament how to act in
the crisis, and he was confident that the
elections would result In a triumph Of au-
tonomy.
The report is current that Mr.. Gladstone
has conferred with the Irish leaders and
they have agreed with him that home
rule should be postponed for the present
in order to allow first reform Of the reg
istry and electoral laws.
The plan proposed is to pass at once q
law establishing the one-man, one-vote
principle, and providing that all elections
shall be held ON the same day, This re-
form being carried through, they say If a
Home Rule bill should be rejected, Mr.
Gladstone would go to the country sure of
success. There are various signs inducing
the belief that Mr.. Gladstone is consider
ing such plan, which would certainly
| outgeneral his opponents.

THE INVESTIGATION CONCLUDED.
The Carnegie Co.'s Manager Again Before
the Congressional Committee.

The Carnegie Co.. Manager Again Before
the Congressional Committee.
P1TTsBURG, July 15.-W. D. Bynum, Of
Indiana, was the only prompt member of
the Congressional committee investigating
the causes of the Homestead strike and
riot.
The labor element was particularly we'll
represented.
H. G. Prick, chairman of the steel COM
pany, and his attorneys were early on
hand Mr.. Frick carried a huge bundle
of data.
Chairman Oates announced at the open
ing that the commission SO far had search
ed only for facts and were not ready to
make a report. He declared it likely that
there would be no minority report.
After several men had testified Mr.. Prick
was recalled. He said that some of the
workmen had testified that the poorest
paid men and those who had the hardest
work suffered most under the reduction.
He selected the wages during the month
of May, just before the trouble, admitting
though that those wages were little
large. Out of 300 men employed in the
119-inch plate mill, only 80 were reduced.
In 1882, 800 men were employed in the
1 same department and by the change in
the scale then, 1875 were affected and 100
were not. More men were affected by the
sliding scale than any other.
In the armor plate mill out of 157 EN-.
| ployees, 81 are reduced. He said that
| Burgess McLukie had stated yesterday
that the company purchased the Allegheny
| steel plant, SO as to control the price OF
billets and cut down the wages of the
workmen. This was absurd.
The pay roll at Duquesne is 5000, 600.
Only 40 per cent. of the workmen were
| affected by the sliding scale. These men
produced 200, 900 tons of billets monthly.
If billets were reduced 81 a ton this would
mean a loss of $50, 900 and this would be
offset only by q gain of $500 in the
| Homestead mill.
| Mr. Frick said Mr.. McLukie was poor
financier.
He was asked why he proposed reduc
ton of wages. He stated that the first
reason was reduced prices received for the
product, and, second, the increased ton
| mage by reason of improved machinery
which increased the pay of the men, they
being paid according to tonnage.

"The next meeting in this city may

PADUcAH, KY, July 15.-There was
more shooting at Paducah last night, be-

a number of men in the northwestern

beyond Oak Grove Cemetery and several
shots were exchanged.
The death Of Militiaman Edwards has

with difficulty that the more reckless
white people are restrained from mobbing
negroes on the streets.
On the other hand the negroes complain
that the killing of Henry Purvine, Tues

A deplorable state of affairs exists and
it is feared that much bloodshed will &C.
