Iron MEN RESUNEWORK
Amalgamated Association Success
in the Wage Settlement.
NON UEIONISTS WILL BENEFIT.

Fully Ten Thousand Men Will Soon be at
Work on the Scale of Wages Arranged
by Amalgamated OniclaIs with the Ohio
Manufacturers.
PITTsBURe, July 27-This morning &C.
CURED the beginning of resumption of
iron mills which will soon put to work at
least 10000 men. 1t is estimated that at
least that number are interested in the
settlement Of the wage scale with the Ohio
manufacturers at Youngstown Saturday
night.
The success of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation in making the wage settlement
means, too, that the men employed in nom
union mills will get an advance in their
wages, and that their employers will sign
agreements to pay them union prices. This
comes as near a recognition Of the union
as the men are contending for at the pres
ent time. The conference was with the
Ohio association, but plants in several
other states will be- started under tho
agreement.
The firms who signed the scale are as
follows:
AHufcWs bfOs' O. w., IlUHlttOIl, ".
Brown, Bonnell & Co., four plants at
Youngstown, O.; Union Iron and Steel
company, two plants at Youngstown, one
at Warren and one at Girard; Mahoning

Oscar Wilde's Health Improycd.

LONDON, July 27.-Sir Matthew White
Ridley, the home secretary, has refused to
remit the sentence imposed on Oscar
Wilde as petition recently presented to
him requested him to do on the ground
that Wilde's health was bad. The prison
physicians report that the condition of his
health has improved since his incarccra-
ton. 1t is the general opinion that any
further effort to secure Wildes release
will be as fruitless as those made in the
past. Wilde was sentenced in May, 1873,
to two years imprisonment at hard labor.

| on tariff matters, we will have 43.
| We would then need at least two more
votes. together with the vote of the
vice president, to secure the passage
of a tariff act. We hope to secure
those two votes from Kentucky and
North Carolina.
.sThe members of the national COM
mittee. so far as / know their senti-
ments, are very anxious that Re
publican tariff measure should be-
come operative at the beginning of the
next fiscal year, July /. 1t seems also
most evident that tariff legislation of
a most satisfactory character can pass
Congress and become law at this
session. The expectation is that such
law can be passed at an extraordin-
ary session to be called soon after the
4th of March. For myself l feel that
all proposed financial legislation can
and ought to be postponed until this
country has a chance to test the new
protective tariff. We are, therefore,
not interested very much just now
about the money issue. But it is of
the greatest Importance to have
enough thoroughly committed to the
protective policy to secure the passage
of a tariff bill"
The senator then goes on to say
that Senator Pritchard is known to be
a strong protectionist and the nation
al committee feels certain, therefore,
that. in spite of his silver views, he
would be willing to pass a tariff act
with reasonable protective provisions.
The committee does not think he
could carry his friendship for silver to
the extent of trying to force a free
silver amendment on a tariff bill. 1t
regards it as probable that Senator
Pritchard's vote may be necessary to
secure the passage of Republican
tariff measure, and that if he is de-
feated the protectionists will be one
vote short in the Senate and as re-
suit the country may be left to suffer
under the Wilson bill without any
chance of RELIEF for the next two or
three years.
Senator Thurston thinks the ques-
ton of silver or gold should enter in
to the contest for tariff measure.
