RUINED BY THE RACES.

A Philadelphia Firm Obliged to Split Be-
cause OF the Gamblers at Gloucester
One OF the Members Goes Too Lively on
the Runners and Fmbezz' es
PHILADELPHIA, June 24-[Specidl. j.
The story of man ruined by the gamblers
at Gloucester, and who, to cover his losses,
robbed his business partner and finally fled,
is disclosed by circular letter issued by
Frank T. Hamsll, senior member of the old
firm of Hamell & Stubs, ship chambers.
The circular, which was issued to the
patrons of the firm, is as follows:
I regret to announce to customers and
others doing business with Hamell & Stubbs
that circumstances haye necessitated tie
dissolution Of the firm. / propose to con-
tinue in business under the name of +. e.
Hamell Co: All debts due the firm of
Hamell b Stubbs are payable to the under
signed, to whom, also, all claims should be
presented.
The announcement of the dissolution of
the partnership, together with the peculiar
wording OF the circular letter, caused con-
siderable surprise to local trade circles. The
firm has been favorably known for many
years, was considered responsible, and it
was generally believed that the relations
between the partners were most pleasant,
consequently the circumstance" which

GLADSTONE ON IRELAND.

An Eloquent Plea for q Separate Parlia-
ment Made in tho Grand Old Mans
Electoral Address-The United Kingdom
Needs Home Rule for Erin.
LONDON, June 24-Mr. Gladstone's cleo
tion address is in part as follows:
Great Britain will now decide whether
three countries shall henceforth constitute
in reality, as well as in statute name, the
United Kingdom. Ireland was never SO
loyal to the Crown or united in heart as in
the years following 17sa, when she enjoyed
local government, until the concord was
disturbed in 1895 by wicked Vaccinations.
For generation after the union, Ireland
slept deadly sleep of physical misery and
political servitude. The reform OF 1s29-32
gave her consciousness and voice. From
then her heavy grievances in battling for
her aspirations have constituted a great
standing burden in Parliament and the
chief impediment to the tulfillment of its
duties.
The proposal for which the Liberals have
Tor the last six years contended will set
Ireland free to manage her domestic affairs
by local legislature In close sympathy with
Irish life, and will set Parliament free to
overtake vast arrears of business and supply
the legislative wants of England and Wales.
testified to by tie result of a multitude Of
bye-elections, has, shown that the British
people now thoroughly comprehend how
irresistible are the claims Of Ireland in
honor and Justice, and how q settlement
will open direct road to the satisfaction of
British interests long held in suspense.
The government of Ireland by the past
Parliament has utterly failed in every re-
spect, except that OF enabling the Irish
agriculturist to improve his condition by the
act of 1887. The main provisions which the
Ministry denounced in 1856 as immoral and
to the plan OF campaign. became the true
author of whatever dangers and hardships
were thns produced. Ireland, indignant at
the broken pledges of the Tory dissident
coalition, is more than ever hostile to the
methods of government of Dublin Castle
but calm and peaceful in reliance on the
electors of Great Britain.

WASHINGTON, June A.-[ Special j
Hamilton Disston, District Attorney
Graham and Charles Emory Smith came to
the city to-day. Mr.. Smith called on Presi-
dent Harrison and they had an extended
conversation. 1t was rumored that Messrs.
Disston and Graham came here upon invita-
tion from the President. Both gentlemen
denied this statement and said that while
they would probably call on President
Harrison tomorrow there was no political
significance in the visit. Mr., Disston said
he was here for the purely personal purpose
ofseeing about the Congressional party that is
to accompany him to Florida with a view
to engaging in the sugar growing business
on the land reclaimed by him. The bounty
paid by the Government e cents a pound

makes sugar-growing on the rich South
Florida drained land extremely profitable.
Mr. Rusk cannot accompany the party, and
General Hatch, of Missouri, another inter-
ested person, is out of the city.
MI. Disston has been mentioned as the
possible Chairman OF the Republican Ma
tional Committee. He would be acceptable
to the administration. When asked If he
would accept the position in case it were
offered him, he said: 'It's quite out of the
question. It has not been offered me, but

WEIHE REFUSES REELECTION.

He viii Retire From the Presidency of the
Amalgam,ted and Engage In Business
Tho Convention Will Select His Sue
cessor at To-Day's Session.
Looking over the schedule of work yet to
be transacted by the delegates to the ANAL
gamated Association Convention 1t is
shown that the most important business on
the programme for to-day is the election of
officers for the ensuing year. Nominations
are in order after the reading of the minutes
at the morning session, and some important
changes have already been announced
President Weihe is positively not candi-
date for reelection and he will not accept
another term should it be thrust upon him.
Ever since President Weihe sent in his
resignation several days ago strong press
ure has been brought to bear upon him to
reconsider his action. In addition to this it
was reported that petition was being cir
culated among the delegates, which every
one was expected to sign, requesting that
he would remain at the head of the Anal
gamated Association for at least another
year, but President Weihe said last even
ing: 81 am not candidate and my name
will not 60 before the convention to-mor-
nine consecutive years, having succeeded
John Jarrett in 1888 at the Philadelphia
convention.
Previous to that time Mr.. Weihe was a
trustee of the Association. His trade is
that of puddler. Mr.. Weiheis in comfor-
table circumstances financially and it is his
intention to engage in business W. A.
Carney, First Vice President and NJ M. Gar
land, the Assistant President, are pro1li-
nently mentioned as Mr.. Weihe's successor.
A change is also likely in the Office of Sec
retary at present held by Stephen Mad
den, who has been in this Office for three
wears He was assistant secretary from
1885 to 1889.
1t was the general opinion of tlfe dele
gates during the early part of the week that
the convention would have so far completed
its labors as to adjourn this evening, but al
though the men have been hard at work
and business has been dispatched with
rapidity, the body cannot possibly COM
plete its labors for two or three days. The
time announced for final adjournment is

UNCLE SANS CHILDREN.

There Are Just 6e,6a2,250 Of Them Ac-
Increasing Faster Than Females
Whites Faster Than CoIored People
Foreign Elements.
WASHINGTON, June 24.-The Census
Office to-day issued bulletin on the popu-
lation of the United States by color, sex
and general nativity. 1t shows that the
population, as whole, has increased during
the decade from 1880 to 1890, IL, ,466, 467, or
SO per cent, the total population in 1890
being g., 622, $50, as against total popula-
tion in 1880 of 80, 155, 7S3. The males have
increased from 5,518, 500 in 1880 to 80, ,067, :
$50 in 1890, the numerical increase being
6, 549, ,060, or 1886 per cent. The whole
number of females returned in 1880 was
"a, ,636, 1853, while in 1890 there were 30, 554,
370. The females have increased, therefore,
5,917, ,407, or "a. 02 per cent since 1880.
Considering the population classified as
regards native and foreign born, we find
that 50, 372, 703 are native born and 9, ,249, ,547
are foreign born. In 1880 there were 49,
475, $40 native born and 6,679, 943 foreign
born. The increase in native born during
the decade was 1896, 1868, or 22.76 per cent,
as against an increase for the decade ending
with 1880 of 10,4S4, ,698, or 31.78 per cent
The increase in foreign born during the dec
ade from 1880 to 1890 was 1865, ,6O4, or
80. Al per cent, the increase for tine decade
ending with 1880 being 1,112,714, or 19. SO
per cent.
According to the census of 1890 there are
in the United States 81, ,983, 800 white
persons and 7, ,63S, 800 colored person, mean
ing by "colored" persons of African de-
scent, Chinese, Japanese and civilized In
dams. There has been an increase in the
white population from 1880 to 1890 of H.
$50, 920, or 26 B per cent, and an increase
in the colored for the same decade of 1885,
547, or ID II per- cent. For the decade from
1870 to 1880, the white increased 29.2 per
cent and the colored, apparently, $500 per
cent. As has already been explained in pre-
vious bulletins, however, the increase from
1870 to 1880 was, to certain extent, fcti-

population of the SOuth

CANADA NOT AFRAID.

The Proposed Retaliatory Measure MOI
Looked Upon Seriously by Our Cousins
over the Border-They Believe the
Matters in Dispute Will Be Settled.
OTTAWA, June 24-[SpeciaL Men, bers
of the Cabinet with whom THE DISPATCH
reporter talked to-day are in no way
alarmed at the measure of retaliation upon
Canada offered in the United States Senate
by Senator Davis. as they firmly
believe that the proposal they have sub
mitted to the Washington Government for
settlement of the question of discrimina-
tion in canal tolls will remove all cause for
any retaliatory legislation on the part of
the United States.
Sir John Thompson said tonight that he
had no knowledge of President Harrison's s
having received Canada's proposal before
he sent his message to the Senate
this week suggesting retaliation. The
Canadian offer, which was transmitted
through the British Government, might
have reached the British Legation at WASH
ington prior to the date of the Presidents
message. but Sir John thought it possible
that the Secretary of the Legation might
have delayed communicating it to President
Harrison, pending further instructions
from Lord Salisbury.
The question of retaliation having been
raised, there is considerable talk in the lob
bies of Parliament here as to how Canada,
in the event of her vessels being de-
prived of the right OF free passage
through st. Mary's Falls Canal, could
retaliate upon the United States. Natu-
rally, the exclusion of United States vessels
from the Weliand canal is the first measure
spoken of, and the injury such step would
infict upon American shipping may be
estimated from the fact that out of
a total tonnage of 1, 122, 900 tons that passed
through the Welland canal in 1890, 5O6, 900
tons or As per cent was American register
The offer just submitted to the Washing
ton Government by the Dominion, it is
learned, is, with some slight notifications,
based upon the conclus ions arrived at dur
ing the recent conference with the United
States Executive.

NEW YORK, June "a. Special Mrs.
Della Stewart Parnell, mother of the late

death last fall to assist his widow in settling
up his estate. She is staying with Mr..
William Knoud and his wife at ITO Amster-
dam avenue. In an interview to-day she
said:

Charles. The people were nearly crazed
with sorrow at his death. They are very
angry at the priests. and the most intelli-
gent will have nothing to do with them.

from it.
Mrs. Parnell said in regard to her sons
death that some of the Irish people thought
he had been poisoned.

BALFoUR ANSWERS GLADSTONE.
A Separate Parliament for Ireland Would
Be Unjust to the Empire.

"A separate Parliament Tor Ireland would
Be Unjust to the Empire.
LONDON, June M.-Mr. Balfour, in his
election address, said
Every years experience has fully justified
incorporating opposition to the abortive
home rule measure of 1886. The separatists'
subsequent ambiguous modification of the
measure makes the proposals more unjust
and dangerous. An Irish Parliament con-
trolling the Irish Executive cannot be con-
trolled by the Imperial Parliament. The
promised supremacy of the Imperial Par.
lament so far as the loyalists are con-
cerned, is only sham. A system allowing
a Parliament in Dublin to manage Irish
afAirs. while Irish Representatives interfere
with English and Scotch business, would
produce intOlerable consequences in both
countries. Such condition of things would
be greatly unfair to the British and cruel
and aggressive to the minority in Ireland.
The criminality of the methods whereby
the politicians who would determine tho
destiniss of Ireland have sought to attain
their objects has been proven before tri-
bunals. The policy of the Gladstonians
would give these men control of helpless
minority whose only crimes are their re-
ligton and loyalty, and would begin ana not
end serious trouble.

GERMANY's UNION WELL TIMED

pressed at q Munich Luncheon.
MUNICH, June 24-Prince and Princess
Bismarck were entertained at luncheon
this afternoon by Count Holnstein. In re-
plying to the Burgomaster's address of well
come, Prince Bismarck said that the
friendly welcome which he had received
showed him that the people of Munich ap-
preciated his labors. Even If some of his
friends had not fully recognized his efforts,
he was greatly gratited that all were aware
that unity had been attained.
He considered it most fortunate that the
union of Germany had not been completed
after the events of 1866, as there would then
have been less prospect of lasting union.
Germany would hencetorth not be affected
by change in times or circumstances.
