OF workers in the sheet mills of the coun-
try for another year. were settled at one
o'clock this morning at a conference
between the manufacturers and
Amalgamated Association commit-
tees. The scale of wages
was continued hut some trlfiiug adjust
mepts were made. The hitch was on the
tariff clause. The manufacturers in-
sisted that the scale agreed upon should
be subject to any change that
might be made in the
tariff The workers committee
vigorously opposed this. After long dis
cussion last night the clause in dispute
was accepted by the Amalgamated Asso-
citation COMMITTEES with au amendment &c
the effect that IL any change be made the
committees are to receive and adjust the
scale accordingly. None of the sheet
mills will close. and in the departments
of the mill governed by the iron wages
scale. now in dispute, last years wages
will be paid. including S.. so for pudding.
until an agreement is reached in the con-
ference, which will be continued today.

Four weeks ago Mr.. Hermann applied

grant 1t, and said that If the tnan would

and he was. Bur at the end OF
the year the father brought

A NEW PROFESSION.

Enstness for self-supporting Women.

House keeping a Fine and Proftabf
Tnsfness for self-supportlng Women.
A fine and profitable business for
women. pursued as profession, is that of
housekeeping. Every woman thinks her
self fitted to keep house, but in sober
truth those who are really fitted for it
that is. those who are thoroughly edu-
Gated in it's requirements so that they
would have rigot to practise it as they
would any other trade or profession and
receive money for it-are by no means
many Yet if the women who have pc
culiarly strong domestic inclinatotns
would recognize that the trend of their
talent is toward housekeeping, and then
prepare themselves seriously from the
first step to the last, there would be SEN
sible addition made to the comfort of the
world, and a new opening established
through which many women, instead OF
now and then one, could earn their llvli-
hoods
AS it is now, when there seems to be
nothing else that woman can do, and she
has not a. home into which she can take
boarderS for its support, she adyertiSeS
herself as housekeeper for u gentleman s
family, widoer preferred. II she had
learned her business, as she would have
hat of dress-making, type-writing. or
ochool-teaching, or surgery, or anything
slSe, In short, she would never nave TO
emake that humiliating postscript wild
over preferred In that case the wild
over wculd not be preferred. She would
go into q house where t here was a wife
who wished and wearied for her, and
would pursue her duties under no off en-
sive suspicion of an intention ultimately
to marry the widower. 1t would max e
small difference to her if her employe
were man or woman. although she might
perhaps slightly prefer the woman for the
sake of the sympathy which one woman
has for another: but she would go on with
her task her plans. her oversight, oecu-
pied with the house and keeping it in or
der, with the children and their clothes
and their health with the tabie, the SER
wants, the linen, with the whole round Of
the years work which keeps house and
home in running order, and would pay no
more heed to the personality of the man
of the house, as an individual pleasant or
unpleasant to her. than if she were an
automaton that had been wonnd up to go
through his motion at his service. -Hdr-

Thousands Hail Them ON Their Arrival
at Malta-An Exciting Scene.
BIZ Gable 10 the United Press.
VALETTA, Malta. June 80, 1885,. The
British cruisers Edgar sand Thaeton, be-
longing 10 the British Mediterranean
squadron, arrived here today, having on
board the surviving officers and crew of
the battleship Victoria. which was sunk
off Tripoli, Syria, on June %, in collision
with the battleship Camperdown, Ii
was believed that the vessels wonld ar
rive here today, and lar ge crowds gath.
cred everywhere along the water front
awaiting their coming into port. Eve ry-
body WAS excited and eager TO learn the
full particulars of the catastrophe that
had resulted in the loss of one OF Eng
lands best war ships, the death OF one Of
her most able and pOpul ar naval officers,
Vice Admiral Sir G Gorge Tryon. and
hundreds Of the vessels officers and
crew.
AS soon as the two cruisers we're re.
ported off the port hundreds of small
boats conveying relatives and friends OF
the survivors and number OF
their lives put outside the
harbor to meet the warships. The latter
came into port slowly. thus allowing the
mall boats to keep up with them with
out much difficulty. The survivors
crowded along the bulwarks of the
cruiser, calling to their friends In the
small boats ana answering as fully as
possible the hundreds OF questions put to
them by everybody within hailing dis
tance.
Every available craft in the harbor was
crowded and the bastions of the for
rifications were black with people. As
the warships slowly steamed to
their anchorage cheer upon cheer broke
from the crowds on the shore.
and they were taken up and repeated by
those on the cruisers. Business was
partially suspended in the city, every
body being intensely anxious Co see the
men who escaped and TO learn from them
it possible everything concerning the
frig htful disaster.
Quite a number of natives of Malta
were In the crew of the Victoria, and it
is known now that ninety Maltese went
down with the ship.
AS soon as the E dgar and Phaetor
came to anchor preparations were made
on board of them to transfer the survlv'
0rs to the coast defence ship Orion, ,whi ct
Ia stationed here. The transfer W as sOo OF
made. Four officers and twenty-one m or
who are sicE or who were hurt In the ac.
cident. were among the number trans
ferred All the sick are doing well.
The Edgar brought 18 officers and 140
men, aud the PtReton 9 officers and 127
