HOUSE OF LORDS
Is What the New Hampshire Legisla- ture Dubbed the Upper House.
 A Senator's Vitaperation.

CONCORD, N. H. March 30. The closing session of the New Hampshire legislature yesterday was somewhat sensational. A feature of the closing session of the senate was the appearance of Daniel c. Remick of Lfttieton, the temperance agitator and leader of the house. The upper branch, greatly to his disappointment and regret, killed seven of the ten pet measures gthening the liquor laws which he had aggressvely fought through the house.
 h spirit of jest Rsmick was accorded the privilege of the floor and asked to give his opinion of the senate. He accepted in speaker, hit hard and furious. He made the declaration that he had documentary evidence that two-thirds of the body were base liars, and he impugned their motives for opposing his measures.
 He spoke at length, accusing them of a lack of appreciation of their duties as pub lie fiji ciaIs and n a spirit of levily killing the serious labor of conscientious members of the lower branch.
 The senators were very indignant at the attack upon them, but maintained silence. l here has been noticeable throughout the session au unfriendly attitude between the two houses. The senate yesterday killed the house bill repeating all standing ap- proprations, and when this action was an nounced in the house a resolution was in ting forth that ''the New Hampshire house of lords, known as the senate, has demon strated beyond doubt by it's action at this session that it has outllved it's usefulness, and ought to be abolished by a constitu- tional amendment.

A FULLER ACCOUNT.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 30.-The morn- ing train due here at 4 o'clock came in four hours late on account of the hold-up be- tween Wheatland and Marysville. J. G.. George, who was on the car where the shooting occurred, says the robbers came into the second coach with the fireman ahead of them.
 They carried sack made out of one leg of a pair of overalls, md the passengers were told to put their money and other val uables in it. They had robbed the first car and were just entering the second when Sheriff Boggart, who had been down the road on some business, was coming in the other end of the car. He fired immediately on taking h the situation, hitting one of the robbers. As the robber fell he shot twice, both balls taking effect in the fire man s back and leg. As Boggart turned partly around to get shot at the other robber he received his death wound. Be- fore he had time to fire third time the sec ond robber turned and ran out of the car.
 The robbers irst entered the press car, but as the safe had a time lock they were unable to secure anything, and they pro- ceeded to the coach. It IS learned that Boggart boarded the train at Sacramento and had taken a sleeper. When he was awakened by the brakeman he immediately put on his clothes and was fn his bare feet when he encountered the bandits.

OF ENaLAND's ATTITUDE TOWARD FRANCE
 BY FRENCH JOURNALS.
 PARIS, March 30.-Concerning the Anglo-French controversy the Matin says: Ut is needless to notice the eccentricities of the British.

 Figaro says: ''Sr Edward Grey's stste- ment was impudent. It was simply raviug on his part to accuse Francs of bad faith, while his menace is merely tomfoolerY.S' Figaro further says that it looks to M. Honataux to keep the British foreign office in it's place.
 Gauleris says: "France will respect only the rights of the porte in Egypt. and not notice those which England arrogates to herself.'

BIRM INGRAM ROLLING MILL
A Cut of the Scale Proposed by the Operators-The
 Situation Discussed.

It may be possible that friction will come up between the propriet ITS and employees of the Birmingham Rolling Mill company over matter of wages.
 As has been stated in the telegraphic col umns of the AGE HERALD the operators in the Mahoning and Shenango valleys have notifi d their men of 12b per cent cut in the ruddling and 15 per cent in the fl nish- ing departments.
 The Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers now have tho matter under advisement.
 The scale in the Birmingham rolling mill is controlled by the country scale, and similar action as that taken by the Mahon- ing and Shenanso valley companies was taken by the Birmingham mill. In con nection, however, with ths notification of { the cut in the scale President Caldwell made a proposition to the puddiers and fuishers as follows:
 The company will hold back 12h per cent of the puddlers' wages and 15 per cent of the finishers' wages pending the settle- ment of tho difference in the Mahouing and Shenango valley mills. In the event the scale is unchanged the men are to receive the hold back, and vice versa.
 The puddlers held a meeting last night in the Trades council hall and the proposi- tion was fully and freely discussed. Alter much consideration it was decided not to accept the proposition, and tue meeting was adjourned until this afternoon at 3 o'clock.
 An AGE HERALD reporter met leading member~of the pudding department alter the meeting and together they discussed the matter. The whole history of the present scale was reviewed, and here it is in substances:
 Last year the Birmin gham Rolling Mill company and it's employees signed an agreement in duplicate, one copy being kept by the operators, one by the opera tives and the other sent to the Amalga- mated association. In this agreement it vas expressly stipulated that in the event the operators desired to make change in inc scale tie men were to be given sixty days notice. The same was to apply to the men.
 1t was also agreed that tue mill should pay the country price, "A per ton Gin the pudding department
 It was also further agreed that this scale was to hold until July l, 1895.
 The operatives hold that they have kept faith with the operators, which the latter have failed to do with them.
 This assertion the AGE HERAGD is in no condition to criticise, nor will it for the present. But the AGE- HERALD desires to refer to the facts leading up to the signing ofthe scale of wages referred to above. As is well known by all AGE- HERALD readers one of the main stipulations of the Bir- mingham Rolling Mill company in resum- ing operations was that it's property should be lett outside the city limits. By untir- ing efforts this has been accomplished.
 Then, too, the scale was signed with the understanding, so it is assert,d, that the mill would be kept in operation for a cer- tain time, and the men claim this has not been done. -
 The AGE HERALD hopes the operators and operatives will reach amica ble agreement and tue mill continue in oper- RiiOn.
