meHt-ConcHIfatory Feeling.
NEW YORK, April 8, 1S97.-President
Low of Columbia University, the umpire
in the dispute over tflermostatic work be-
tween the steam filters and the plumbers,
announced this morning that he had
nearly completed his work, and would
render his decision to the Board of Walk
ing Delegates this afternoon.
President Low, as subcommittee of the
committee Of three appointed by Bishop
Potters council of mediation, has per-
suaded the Masters Association of Steam
filters to call off the lockout against the
stearnfitters, and the men will go back
to work in their old places until the mat
ter is settled one way or the other.
John n. Bogert, the state organized of
the American Federation of Labor, who is
secretary of Bishop Potter's council said
this morning that he thought the whole
trouble would soon be at an end.
ssThe dispute between the Steamftters
and the Plumbers has been submitted to
arbitration from. the beginning, he said,
.sand the success of President Lows eff
forts to persuade the Masters Associa-
ton to take back the sreamdtters has, IN
my opinion, destroyed all possibility of a
general strike or lockout in the building
trades.
aaTnere st;ll exists ID dispute,'' he contin-
ued, Between the basses and the steam
filters, the bosses asserting that the men
have violated an AGREEMENT made between
them last August. But the calling off of
the lockout has created a spirit OF concil-
iatfon, and Isslave no doubt that the boss
es and their men VIII soon be in complete
agreement. The plumbers and steamfit-

MADE OF WOVEN HAIR.
Queen Victoria the Victim of a Cruel
Hoax.

The working of elaborate devices in
human hair is said to be almost lost
art, but one which may be revived. as
embroidery in hair has become once
more fashionable. One of the first
workers in hair was a Swiss shepherd
named Antonio Forrer, whose artistic
tendencies took in curious devices in
hair and wool. In 1850 he was brought
over to England by an Englishwoman,
who accidentally saw him at work one
day while tending his sheep. Forrer
was set up in business in Regent street,
and must have had good deal of natu-
raj sagacity, for as his trade grew he
foresaw craze and imported lot of
poor crippled girls from Switzerland,
whom he taught. He made great deal
of money and lived, while the fad was
at its height, in princely style. Al
though Forrer's establishment kept
the first place, no less than a hundred
in London. Large prices were paid
for mourning brooches, rings and so
on, and special artists prepared the de-
signs. Pencil and cigarette cases were
covered with hair, and even waist belts
made from long strands. Elaborate
pictures were arrived at, villages,
brooks, trees, houses, even the names
over the shops being wrought in hair.
One man had a landscape after Corot
manufactured from his dead wifes hair,
the frame being afterward covered
with hair from the head of his second
consort. Another rostentatiouslymo
ing gentleman actually went so far as
to have an evening dress tie" made
from the snow-white locks of his dead
wife. Queen Victoria was a victim of
the fad, and after the prince consort's
death gave orders to have a bracelet
made from some of his hair. A strict
but rather unreasonable stipulation
accompanied the eorder-thatther were
to be no Jennings. This was impossi-
BILE, the princes hair being too short.
but nothing was said and the bracelet
was delivered at the appointed time.
Some time after her majesty, when
playing with the bracelet, pulled out a
hair three times the length of any that
could have belonged to the prince
Trouble, of course, ensued. The brace
let was inspected and a large part of il
found not to be the princes hair.-Sa-

LlNCOLN'S BID FOR SLAVES.
Old story Exploded by the Sole Sur
yiyor of Davis Cabinet.

John H. Reagan, of Austin, Tex, sole
survivor of the Davis cabinet, the other
day furnished his statement regarding
the report so generally current that
President Lincoln proposed at the
Hampton Roads conference that the
United States would pay $400,000,000
for the southern slaves if the confed-
crates would abandon the war and re-
turn to the union.
Judge Reagan reeites that in his adj
dress at the confederate reunion at
Nashville he asserted most positively
that no such offer in any form was ever
made. This statement was criticised
as an error by a writer in the Nashville
American, who quoted what purports
TO have been a conversation between
President Lincoln and Alexander II.
Stephens, in which Mr.. Lincoln is rep
resented as saying that he would be
willing to be taxed to remunerate south
ern people for their slaves, that he knew
some who were in favor of an appro-
priation as high as $4O0,O00,0 900 for the
purpose, if the war should cease with
out further expense; but that, while he
individually favored the government
paying fair indemnity to the owners,
he could give no assurance or make any
stipulation in the matter.
To put this plainly, Judge Reagan
says, Mr.. Lincoln's suggestion was for
the confederacy to abandon its cause
and free the slaves as a condition prece-
dent, and trust to congress for compen-
sation. lie cites various historic au-
thorities to show that, with the views
expressed by Mr.. Lincoln in conversa-
tion and in his messages, he could not
have offered S400,000,000 for the slaves,
nor have said to Mr.. Stephens, as has
been further stated: ALLOW me to
write union at the bottom of sheet of
paper, and you write whatever terms
you please above it,"
Mr.. Stephens never said such an offer
was made, according to Judge Reagan,
who contends that in the Hampton
Roads conference it was understood, as
coming from President Lincoln, that
the only terms which could be allowed
were the unconditional surrender Of tlIe
canfederacy, and that whatever conse-
quences followed restoration of au-
thority must be accepted.-N. Y. Times.
