After the adjournment OF the confer

ssThe conference between the Anal

Amalgamated association did not re
cede from it's original positions. The

nnen in the mills not in the Amalgmat-
ed association who do not wish to be-
come association men, and claimed
they must respect these men IN their
FISHES as well as those who are mem
bers of the association. In order TO
eject compromise, the mannfactnT-
ers offered to sign for several mills
which have always in the past been
ont of the association. No compro,,
mise was offered by the Amalgamateo
association. The American Tin Plate
company have only one non,unlon
mill. They required the privilege to
make special scale for this mill and
sign the same. This was refused and
The company was given to understand
that men in all the tin mills would be
called out, even though the scale has
been signed for all the tin mills. The
privilege requested ABOVE would settle

The highest telegraph poles in the
United States have just been put up
in Beaumont, Texas. So far as known
they are the highest of any in the
world, the top being $50 feet above the
ground. They were erected on the op-
posite banks of the Neches River by
the Western Union Telegraph Compa-
nv in order to string its cable across
the stream. The span is Ia feet in
length. This height is necessary to
admit the passage of ships through the
draw-bridge. their masts being 100
feet tall and more. This aerial span
was preferred to laying a submarine
cable. for it is expected that Congress
may at some future day have the
Neches River dreded, and this would
ruin the cable. 1t is also much cheap
