The Barb-wire Combine Celtap The Klemeata of Dlecerd. Frem the PhUaMehie Fnw. -A prlvaU dispatch was received in this city yesterday announcing the collapse or the barb-wire trust. It has been known for eeme time that there were serious dls dls enttens In the ranks of the manufacturers who were te compose the trust, but the chief promoters asserted and reasserted that It was sure te be a success. The "kickers," however, have wen, and the great combine has proved a failure. There were several points en which the manufacturers disagreed. One was that about half of the men In the combine wanted te be president of the Federal Steel company, by whleh title the barb-wlre trust was te be known. Aa it was an obvious Impossibility that they could all be president, dissensions arose among the candidates. This was ene element of discord. Anether was the fact that the owners of some of the mills included In the combine wanted cash instead of stock for their plants, and this the promoters were net willing te give. It Is believed that this was the rock ou which the combine split. The owners of one of the greatest manufactories In the combina tion took this stand, and were followed by ethers. The recent meeting of the pro moters and managers of the trust, at the Gllsey house, in New Yerk, was for the purpose of adjusting this point of differ ence, and it resulted In a failure. This was the beginning of the end, and the end has come, se far as the original plans of the promoters are concerned at least. Some of thorn are still protesting that the trust will go through, but thore have been enough desertions te defeat any plan looking towards a completo monopoly of the barb-wlre business of the country. It was the purpose of the promoters of the trust te form two corporations, one te control the manufacture of barb-wire and theether commercial wire, in which was Included wire nails and all varieties of wire outside of the barbed species. The hoadquarters of the trust was te be in Chi cago, and tbecapltallssatloner each corpora tion was te lie between $3,000,000 and $10, 000,000. A IIOI..E IN THE GROUND."

Formers Radly Deceived In Thetp Ef Ef eorts te Foster a Sorghum Industry. A swindle has been perpetrated upon the farmers of ut least two counties in Kansas, and it Is feared may be found te be even mere fur-rcachlng than Is yet known. The amount involved in tlie swindle aggrogates ever $150,000. The Amer ican Sugar company of Kansas was chartered about a year age. Its agents built a mill te manufacture sugar from sorghum at Meade Center. The product from tlie mill was exceptional uum in quality and quantity. The farmers, who saw a new Industry added te the state, were Jubilant oyer its suoeess. and when the company proposed that the different townships should vote bends te It for the extension or its works they fell In with the Jilan readily, and bends te the amount of ,000 were voted and the scrip turned ever te the company. At Ashland, Clarke county, the same plan was pursued and bends te the amount nflH.000 were voted br the farmers of that aeuqty. Although nothing definite Is known as te the company's transactions in ether parts of the state, H s believed that one or two ether Western counties were also induced te vote bends te the company te provide them means te erect their sugar mills. Twe of the empleyes of Emersen t Painter, in the Meade Center mill, sijs sijs pected seme sharp practice by the company, They investigated and reported te the au thorities in Topeka that the manager had mixed pure sugar with sorghum syrup In quantities sufficient te preduce a (superior sugar (it very prettable quantities from a small cane product. The residents of two of the townships of Meade county called en the manager of the mill and hi the presence of the sherltT compelled him te 5)strey the bends vetcd te the company. The bends qf the ether townships have been negotiated, it Js believed that no legal adfOB cat) b. e taken ngalqst the sugar company. Dudley May be Arrested. Colen.l W. W.

The first batch of strikers left the gas works at two o'clock this aftornoen.

This action will avert the strlke threatened by the men. The gas companies, with the exception of the Seuth Londen company, have con ceded the demands of coal porters, pend ing arbitration of the dispute batween them by Sir Marks Wllks Collet, governor of Bsnk of England, Sir Jehn Lubbeck and Lord Mayer Isaacs. The strlke wilt there fore be confined te the ens stekers and coal porters employed by the Seuth Londen company.

Plckets sent out by the strikers te-day stepped many of these men and persuaded seventy of thorn net te go te work, BRAZIL'S REVOLUTION. It Was Net Se Very Quiet Alter All. Bleed Was Shed.

At Wednesday's session of the American Federation or Laber In Bosten President Oempers submitted his annual report, which was very voluminous. It chronicles a gratifying revival during the past year la the interest of the working people In the trade union movement. The great In crease, both In membership and the num ber of local branches, all testified te the renewed activity and seal or the tellers and the recognition or the honest purposes or the federation. There are affiliated with the American federation 3,000 local unions and a membership larger than In any organisatien In the world. Of the trade unions that did net affiliate with the feder ation last year nine have Joined and the fed eration Is new affiliated with nearly every trade union la the country. Efferts te establish fraternal relations with and secure the co-eperatton of ether labor organiza tions have met with geed success. Referring te the organisatien of railway empleyes, the report says the Isolated pol icy pursued by the Brotherhood of Loce motive engineers, whleh Is unworthy of that organisatien, has prevented the estab- llUin.n( P ..

The resnlta of the nnnfcrwnr will, ihn Knights or Laber, the final decision of wnicnissuupenuing, are submitted, and It Is suggested that the trade unions voice their sentiments unmistakably upon the disputed points. Referring te farmers' eiganlaatlnns, the report says all prepositions received were from ompleylng farmers, while the pur pose or the Federation Is te erganise farm laborers, The history of the eight-hour movement is given at length, and a resume or the work done te further the organisatien of this mevement Is submitted, with various suggestions as te the proper direction or the movement, and that a committee be appointed by this convention, te which all these matters be referred; that they be preperly digested and formulated and re ported te the convention for action. The report also says : " We the representatives of the trades unions of the country, fully alive te the situation, must assert our purposes. We must doclare that we will never cease In our agitation, whether In 1800, '01 or any year ; that we will Insist upon reducing the hours or labor until all who can may have an opportunity te work and earn an hon est living." The report suggests that in the matter of labor legislation the federation should for mulate the legislation that labor demands and empower the officers te take sueh ac tion as will presage the beat results. The uocesslty for the mere strict enforce ment of the allen contract labor law and the Chlnose exclusion act is set forth, and the presldent pays his respect te the census officers of 1880. whose action In emitting the enumeration of the unemployed, he thought, was designedly taken. Regard ing the First International Laber Congress he suggests that the executive council be authorized te held the congress in the city solected for the world's fair. The prospects of the genernl adoption or ballet reform in the several states are referred te hopefully) mere enthusiasm Is urged In response te appeals of affiliated organizations engaged in trade disputes for pecuniary assistance: action upon the prsotlee or United States army musicians competing with private musicians at lower rates Is recommended, and definite doelslon upon the manage ment and distribution or the strike assess ment is called for. Special attention is called te the condition or coal miners, and ma report coneiuues wiia me nope MM the deliberations be harmonious, honest In ES urpose, ana ter me oesi interests: et tne ning masses. A teleirram from Chlcane statlnv that thn eight-hour day had been granted te the county empleyes, and letters announcing the affiliation or the New Jersey Trades as sembly and the probability that the Na tional Operative Plasterers' union would join the organization wero read. Various committees wero then appointed and the convention took a recess. By Invitation of the con volition, Secre tary Wm. II. Saywanl, of the National Builders' and Bosten Master Builders' as sociations, made an address, In which he strongly advocated organization, both by em ploy or and employed, as leading ten better understanding and adjustment of labor problems, and assured the delegates he was net opposed te erganised labor, but Intended, as far as possible In his posi tion, te secure harmony and geed feeling. Although he would never be opposed te the great principle for which they steed, he might 1m opposed te certain motbeda of upholding It, At the aftornoen session the Federation listened te a paper by Samuel Leavltt upon the Immigration problem. This country, he said, Is in danger of drowning, unless we step the flood of Immigration coming this way. He quoted largely from the ut terances of public meu and iiuwHiiajiers te show the iierils of unrestricted immigra tion. ... E LBVEN MEN LYNCHED.

They established a ren dezvous In the Isolated valley high up in the mountains and lived like barbarians. The party was content te fish and bunt for some months, but being reinforced by ether desnerate characters beirau te blun der the settlers. At first they only slaught ered beef and stele supplies, but seen be gan stealing horses, which were run into Utah and Mentana. Jehn Benjamin and te sons followed the thieves, made a light and were shot down and left te ret en a mountain trail. The gang had new lecome strong and bold and ran things te suit themselves. The basin Is ninety mlles by fifty and contains about 400 people and everyone lived in mortal terror of "Koltle Jack" and his gang. Cattle were driven oil the range and sold at trade points. A het battle occurred when "Jack" mar ried a young girl whom he abducted. The father headed a rescuing party, but the citi zens were repulsed with a less of two killed. The outlaws frequently quarrelled among themselves, and one is Known te have been killed In a camp fight. Twe hundred citizens at last determined te wlpe the gang out, The outlaws did net retrett, but remalned entrenched In their mountain stronghold. They wero sur rounded and starved out. Eleven were captured and hung, the rest escaping across the mountains. Preparations at ObcfAinmeriiuti. Vlanns dlipatch te the Londen Times.
