OPPOSES S.HOUR BILL.

d. Nj. Parry, president OF the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers, ha:
made public a statement bitterly at.
taching labor unions. Parry primarily
attacks the eight-hour-law bill, but in
cidentally arraigns union labor. The
statement includes the following
The National Association of Maunfac-
turers is opposed to the terrible anti-in-
junction bill now pending in Congress,
which proposed law has almost destroy
ed the English manufacturer, as it is
legalization of the picket and the boy
colt. The attempt to foist such anar-
chistic legislation upon the employees OF
this country will be resisted to the last.
The National Association of Manu-
facturers is also unaterabIy opposed to
The so-called eight-hour bill, fathered
by Samuel Gompers. This bill, if it is
put into effect, would be radical and
destructive assault upon the prosperity
of this country.
Such bill would open the way of
the blackmail of the heavy iron and
steel and shipbuilding interests which are
engaged in the manufacture of govern
ment supplies.
The labor unions, through their ap
prentice system, are driving thousands
of BOYS to the streets, to the reform
school and the penitentiary. They
have so reduced the number of skilled
workmen that it would be impossible to
find two shifts of men to carr on the
work Of the country. The eight-hour-
day proposition is the result of socialist
ic agitatio in Europe.
Unless the unions change their tactics
in very few years . self-respecting
man will pe ashamed to let it be known
that he is a member of labor organiza-
ton. To-day when man joins the
union he becomes a slave of the agitator
and the walking delegate, He gives up
his manhood and admits to the world
that he is incapable of making success
unless through the aid of the boycott
and the picket.
Think Of a government iounded py

themselves against the church, against

The American people do not propose
that this nation shall be wrecked by any
such tyrannical programme. The Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers will
do its part in attempting to regain the
integrity of our institutions.

of the Khedige, the Duke and Duchess

of Connaught on February II, 1899.
London, Dec. 11.-What is known
as the opening of the Nile works
at Assouan and Assiout by the Duke
of Connaught is in reality the
formal ceremony of inspecting them
when closed. The food in The Nile
ended in November, and 1SO sluices
in the wall of masonry a mile ana
quarter long were closed at the be-
p;nning of this month for the storage Of
water until the end of March. The
completion of this remarkable work was
proclaimed by the kings brother yes
terday. and the remaining weir at Assiout,
200 miles distant, was reserved for fnal
inspection on Saturday.
It's purpose is to hold back the waters
of the Nile during the food period, per
mitting their gradual use for irrigation
during the rest of the year. In this way
il is expected two add nearly 1000, OOC
acres to land under cultivation; to enable
large tracts to bear to crops year, in
stead of one, and to add at least Sl2,

The dam is a mile and quarter long
and will hold the water 347.6 feet aboy

dam is pierced by $50 openings, each 2
feet high and 7 feet wide. Some of tn
sluices 90 rs feet below the ordinar,

by the English firm of John Aird & Co.
and 16, 900 laborers, 80 per cent. Q
them native Egyptians, have been EN-
; ployed. The original estimate was slV'
600, 900, but the cost has probably eS
ceeded that.

AMERICAN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

AMERICAN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.
Mr. Sam FTanko gave the most srchoic of his
archaic concerts with the American Symphony Or
chestra in the Lyceum Theatre yesterday after
noon. In four numbers OF tho hve on his pro-
gramme he remained within the limits OF the first
quarter OF the eighteenth century. and hiJ single
excursion beyond did not take him into the nine
teenth. His programme made ED Of a move
ment OF one OF Bach's Brandenburg conceri grosst
rewritten by the composer a prelude TO one #
his church cantatas. concerto for strings aud
continue (payed on the organ by Mr.. Had
ley) by Dali Abaco. a beautifully suave old
aria from opera by Leonardo Leo a
set Of dances by Rameau. and the fifth sym
phony Of the set composed by Haydn for the
Salomon concerts which he gave IN London
in 1Isl. This last work the link which bound
the latest evolution OF the instrumental art 10
the first OF the new. The orchestra was admirably
responsive TO the conductor, and he was in ad-
mirable spirits. and the concert despite the an
cientness Of its music, even more sprfted than
its predecessors, which promised TO establish new
musical cult IN the city. Absolutely new to
the listeners Ghough the first had been
performed by Mr.. Dannreuther with his
quartet at a private concert last Sunday
were the concerto and the old opera air sung by
Mrs Tirzah Hamlin Rutland. There was no novel
preachment in Dalrs Abacos music but a lesson
for the students of music. The historians have led
the world to believe that only the giants of the
centuries that are past produced music worth lis
tening to- They have isolated Bach, Handel Haydn

contemporaries. The italian who played vtolonceIo
and composed for the Bavarian Court during all
the troubous years Of the war about the Spanish
succession was shown by the performance Of this
one Of his works to be well worthy Of hearing
alongside of Bach, Handel and CoreuL And in that
demonstration lay large instruction

land, is the possessor OF opulent contrato voice
which she poured out with intoxicating richness
There was nothing in the music excite the emo

lamation as to stimulate hearty enthusiasm; and
the number fitted beautifully, in character and
performance. into Mr.. Frankos scheme
