If this is not done the entire measure -will probably fail. It is asserted that un der the proposed tariff American rail mills -will be driven ont of the markets on ill e Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts. rrEOM X ETAFJ- CORHESrOirDETT.I . "Washington, July 30. If the Repub licans of the Senate do not reject the Senate amendments to the McKinley tariff bill which make reductions upon iron and steel manufactures that could not fail to be dis astrous to those interests in the United States, it trill not be on account of a lack of explicit information on the subject. The metal schedule trill probably be reached Saturday. Senators "will on Saturday morning find upon their desks a neat little pamphlet signed by B. F. Jones, president, and James Ml Swank, general manager of the American Iron and Steel Association, in which they -will find figures that trill make the Finance Committee of the Senate wonder why they engaged in the work of slaughtering the McKinley bill, and that trill furnish pertinent information for other Senators not in sympathy with the mur derous work of the two or three members of the Finance Committee, who are mainly responsible. SOME COMPABATIYE FICTJBES. This pampblet, from the first o! Kthe ad vanced sheets ol which The Dispatch correspondent is permitted to mate ex tracts, exhibits in detail the present duties, the duties proposed by the McKinley bill end those inserted by these two or three members of the Senate Finance Committee tinder the hypnotic influences of New En gland manufacturers of finished wareB and of farmers alliances of the far West. "Upon the subject ot steel and iron rails the paper is specially interesting and ex haustive, as the following excerpts will show. In the present tariff the duty on iron rails, welching above 25 pounds to the yard, is 15 63 per ton; on steel rails, weighing Pelow25.pounds to the yard, $17 per ton; on Iron or steel rails, weighing 5 pounds or less, 120 18 per ton, and on flat rails, punched, 17 92 per ton. In the framing of the Senate tariff bill of 1SS8 all these rails were placed in one classification, and were subjected to a uniform duty of $15 63 per ton or seven-tenths of 1 cent per pound. A BADTCAL BEDrjCTION. In. the House bill, which the Finance Com mittee has just amended, the same classifica tion has been observed, and the duty has been fixed at $13 41 per ton, or six-tenths of 1 cent per pound. The Finance Committee proposes to still further reduce the duty to $11 20 per ton. or five-tenths of 1 cent per pound, which is just 20 cents above the rate fixed by the Mills bill in 1SSS on rails weighing above 25 pounds to the yard. We object to this reduction because it would increase our importations of cteel rails. To prove that the redaction now proposed by the Finance Committee is entirely too great, we call your attention to the following statis tics of our imports of steel rails In the three calendar years from 1SS6 to 1SSS, inclusive, un der a duty of (17 per ton, or 85 80 per ton more than is now proposed: Average price of Calendar Importation, American Tear. Gross Tons. Bails. 1SS& 41,581 $31 53 1887. 137,588 37 08 18SS. 63.018 29 83 OUTLOOK FOE THE FUTUKE. The imports In 1SS9 were only nominal, be cause there was a boom in the Enropean mar kets in thatyear.and our own prices were low. In the three years given In the table American prices were nof unreasonably high, as the table shows, and yet in tbose years we imported 242. 185 gross tons of steel rails, a sufficient quantity to lay 2.549 miles ot railroad track with 60-pound rails. If so large an importation was possible In three years of reasonably low prices in our own country, what may we expect if a concession in the duty of $5 80 per ton Is now made to the f or eien manufacturer? In the adjustment of a tariff on steel rails, the difference In the cost of production at borne ana abroad is the first matter which Ehonld be considered. This difference is well known to consist largely In the greater cost of bringing together the raw materials of manu facture In this country than in Great Britain, onr great competitor. Our steel rail works are all located inland because of onr supplies of fuel and ot iron ore, suitable lor the manufacture of steel-making pig iron, are also located Inland. These sup plies are also located long distances apart, the ore of .Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota meeting the coke of Pennsylvania at Johns town, Pittsburg. Yonngstown,; Cleveland, Chi cago and other places. COST OF TBANSPOBTATION. ' It was officially stated in 18S8 that the books ot one of our principal steel rail manufactur ing companies showed that the cost of trans portation to its works of the iron ores. coke, limestone, clay and other materials used in making a ton of steel rails in 1887 amounted to $12 75. This charge amounted to $1,591,332 J2 on the total production of steel rails in that jear by the company referred to. Other steel rail companies can show similar figures for every year in which their works have been in operation. They also pay more for labor in iron ore and coal mines and in all other departments of production and manu facture than their foreign competitors. Bat the mere difference in the cost of pro duction is not the only matter which should be considered. It is a misfortune of the steel rail industry of the United States which could not lie avoided that the works which mace rails are JocaUdat points more or less remote from the .Atlantic, Pacific and Gull coasts, so that, la the transportation or rails to all railroad lines lo cated'or termmatlne upon these coasts, for eign manufacturers have usually an important advantage over our own manufacturers. JUST THE CONTBABY. It is sometimes said that the cost of transpor tation across the Atlantic operates as an addi tional protection to onr rail manufacturers, but the fact is that the very cheapness of this transportation operates to diminish the effect ' of a protective duty at all points on our exten sive coast boundary. English vessel owners are glad to obtain cargoes of rails or other heavy Iron and steel products at a very low rate of freight as ballast for their ships which come to onr shores for return cargoes of cotton and wheat. The freight cost of delivering English steel rails at any of the ports above mentioned on the Atlantic and Quit coasts does not average above 10 shillings, or about $2 50 per ton, which. ir we except the steel rail works at Worcester, Mass., which have made only a few rails, is less than the freight cost of shipping rails from any of our steel rail works to Boston or Port land. Charleston, or Savannah, and is less than one-balf the cost of delivering American rails at Mobile, New Orleans or Galveston. It costs from $3 to $10 per ton to ship rails from Pittsburg to Texas. Enclish rails can be delivered at ports on the Pacific coast at a freight cost of $5 per ton, whereas it costs SIS per ton to ship rails to the same ports from the four steel rail works at Chicago and Jollet. A BIO ADVANTAGE FOB BRITAIN. In this connection a table is given which shows that the advantages of shipping to the Pacific) coast would be 812 12 per ton in favor ot the British manufacturer, if the rate of the Finance Committee were adopted, and on the gnlf coast $4 62 per ton. Quo tations from English points are given show ing that these advantages are fully recog nized, and the paper goes on to say: If these boats could be made when the man ufacturers of steel rails In this country were protected by a duty of $28 a ton, how much more reason would there be for a repetition of them if the duty should now be rednced to $1120 per ton? when we consider that our activity in railroad building is now largely in the Sooth and Southwest, where no steel rail works exist, it becomes a question of the high est importance whether the facilities now en joyed bv foreign manufacturers in cheap water transportation are to be increased by a sweep ing reduction on the duty on steel rails that these manufacturers may virtually control the supply of the Southern and Southwestern mar kets. Onr steel rail manufacturers should surely not be driven out ot these markets, and espec ially when one-half of our extensive establish ments have been located in the great West for the very purpose ot supplying from Western raw materials the steel rail wants of the Mis sissippi Valley. AN KNTEBFBISE BLASTED. Nor can there ever be any hope of building up a steel rail industry on the Pacific coast if the duty is now to be put so low that no induce ment shall be offered to capitalists to engage in the manufacture of steel rails in that section. We are not advised that a single railroad company in the United States has petitioned Congress to reduce the duty on steel rails. We are confident that, if the opinions of the railroad managers of the country were re quested on this subject, they would with great unanimity testify that they do not desire a re duction in the present duty of $17 per ton, and that they are particularly opposed to such a re duction as has been proposed by the Finance Committee. An exhaustive table is given, including the subject of iron and steel rails, showing that protection has largely reduced the cost of rails and cheapened transportation. Speaking of other articles of the metal schedule, the paper says: In the present tariff all steel ingots, blooms, billets, slabs, bars, etc valued at 4 cents per pound or less, are classified together and made dutiable at 45 per cent ad valorem, thus giving endless opportunity for frauds on the revenue by entering high-priced steel products at low values. ONE TVILL CHANGE. This bad classification was wisely abandoned in the preparation of the Senate tariff bill of. 18SS. and a better classification was adopted. The new classification has been -incorporated in the House bill and approved by the Finance Committee. It classifies all the steel products referred to according to their foreign cost, affixing specific duties graduated to that cost, except upon articles costing 1 cent per pound or less, which shall pay a uniform rate of duty. Kearly all the steel that has been imported since the passage ot the present tariff in 1SS3 has been entered at 45 per cent ad valorem as steel valned at 4 cents per ponnd or less. In the four years, from ISoS to 1888 inclusive, we imported over 500,000 tons of miscellaneous (teel products, npon only a small part of which did the ad valorem duty, when reduced to its specific equivalent, amount to as much as one half of one cent per pound. bo destructive to our steel Interests was the 45 per cent duty found to be that the Finance Committee adopted In 1889, without hesitation, the new classification above referred to, and imposed a duty of one-half of one cent per pound on all steel valned at one centperpound or less. This rate was embodied in the House bill, but it is now abandoned by tbe Financo Committee, and a rate of four-tenths of one cent is substituted. Upon steel valued above one cent and not above one and eight-tenths of one cent per pound the Senate Committee also reduces the rates below those which it adopted in 1SS8. and which were accepted in the preparation of the House bill. In view of the heavy importations of steel billets, slabs, eta, the proposed rate of four-tenths of one cent per pound 'on steel valued. at one cent per pound or less is not suf ficient tn prevent a continuance of tbe large importations of 18S8, 1887 and 1838. and we therefore earnestly urge that the rate of flve-temhs-be restored. And we also ask that the House rates be restored on steel ingots, blooms, billets, bars, etc., when valued between one cent and one and eight-tenths of one cent per pound. A similar presentation is made in the matter of iron and steel plates, galvanized plates and sheets, hoop iron and steel, etc. With this plain and effective statement of the situation, and with the added weight ol tbe presence of a considerable nnmber of in fluential manufacturers, who will come here and remain till the metal schedule is dis posed of, it is thought something may be done to counteract tbe work of tbe Finance Committee, prevent a long and anxious struggle in the Conference Committee ot tbe House and senate, ana perhaps save the bill from total destruction. Liohtneb, BECTPBOCITY BES0LTJTI0NS Introduced In tbe Home by n Representative From the Empire Slate. Washington, July 30. In the House to-day Bepresentatiye Sanford, of New York, offered for reference to the Ways and Means Committee the following preamble and resolution: Whereas, The Secretary of State has ex pressed tbe opinion that the remission of duties upon sugar and molasses ought to be accom panied by reciprocal arrangements between the United States and Spain and the Republics of South and Central America whereby these sugar-producing countries can be induced to remit or so to reduce their import duties upon products of American industry, and es pecially npon the produots of American agri culture, as to secure to the people of the United States important reciprocal amendments; therefore. Resolved, That it is the sense of tbe United States that legislation touching tbe subject of the duties upon sugar and molasses should be postponed until tbe next session of Congress. Resolved, That the President be requested to cause negotiations to be entered into with the Governments of Spain and of the Repub lics of South and Central America In regard to tbe consummation of tbe reciprocal arrange ments of trade hereinbefore mentioned and to institute such other investigations as to him may appear to be proper in order that he may be prepared to furnish to Congress at Its next session such information and conclusions as will enable it to legislate upon the subject with out delay.

The First Enumeration of the Entlro Conn try Will be Completed br September An Astonishing Increase' In" the Number of Mormons Reported, TOOII A. ETATF COBMtSrOirDIST.l Washington, July 30. An idea of the rapidity with which the Census Offipe is conducting tbe count of noses may be ob tained from, the fact that yesterday, when high water mark was .reached, over 600,000 families were counted. With an average of five persons to each family this record of a single day's work represented a count of more than 3,000,000 people. To do this a force of 280 men and women is employed. Ninety young ladies work from 9 o'clock until 4 every day upon the electrical ma chines, and the same nnmber of men come on at 4 in tbe afternoon and work until mid night at the same task. This forms a force of 180 people actually engaged in the work of counting. The other clerks are engaged in keeping an accurate record of the schedules arriving in the of fices o! those in the hands of each counter so that any moment a particular set of sched ules may be found when needed. A large wagon is kept busy going back and forward between the Pension Office, where the sched ules are stored as fast as they come by ex press, and the counting division and the counters 'always manage to keep up with the wagon. It is thought that the first official count of the population of the whole country will be ob tained before the first day of September. Upon this count the new apportionment of the country for the purpose of Congressional representation may be based, though the whole count will be required for verifica tion. Meanwhile the work of counting the returns from those districts from which all the schedules have been received is pro gressing with rapidity. Philadelphia and Chicago each form one supervisor's district, and as the census of those two cities means a count of about 2,000,000 people, it takes some time to determine the results. Within a couple of days, however, the population of these towns will be known. It would appear from certain figures pub lished to-day that tbe Mormons are in a very flourishing condition.'and that the in flux of Gentiles into Utah Territory must be quite large. In order to determine the results of a guessing contest, started by one of tbe Salt Lake papers, a special count has been made ot the populationgof that city, from which It appears that it has now 45, 025 inhabitants. Unlets some of the con testants bad some later figures than those of the census of 1880 to go by tbe chances are that tbe guesses have been very wide ot the mark, for the rate of the increase has been extraordinarily large during the last ten years. In 1880 tbtre were only 20,768 people there, so that the population has in creased by 21,257, or at the rate of 116.8 per cent a very lair showing for a Mormon town. BECAUSE OF TUT!

Postmaster General Wanamaker has taken the scalp of Postmaster Brown, of Newport Mr. Brown's sense ot public duty would not allow him to be a party to the struggle now going on between Mrs. William Astor and Mrs. William Waldorf Astor as to which is to be recognized as the Mrs. Astor. Mr. Browc would not undertake to decide this controversy in a way satisfactory to the parties concerned. He also declined to cater to the -whims- -Bndlrads"CTTmmerous other aristocratic residents of the city by the sea. The cottagers desired so many extra facili ties that they prevailed on the Postmaster General to order the appointment of two ex tra letter carriers. Postmaster Brown promptly reported these men were entirely unnecessarv and that he did not want them, and also told Mr. Wanamaker that if his recommendations as to the needs of the office were not accepted be was willing to resign. He stated that if he was to be postmaster he wanted to run the office himself. Mr. Wanamaker stuck up for the cottagers and allowed Mr. Brown to bring his official existence to a close. To-dav he appointed Mr. Henry H. Fay to be his successor. A BFALISTIC 8TAOE DUEL. Both of the Combatants Were Wounded In a Bowlo Knife Encounter. tSPECTU. TZLEOKAM TO THE DISPATCH, I Bibminqham, Conn., July 30. Miss Kate Pierson and company are playing a week's engagement at the Sterling Opera House. Last night a scene was enacted on the stage with more realism than the bills demanded. The duel scene in the first act was between Messrs. Bitter and Pierson, who fought with regular bowie knives, which were exceeding sharp. In the first encounter Mr. Pierson's finger was slightly cut and Mr. Bittner's left arm was badly gashed. The actqrs were so much interested in their work that it was not until tbe lust act that either knew he bad been cut. In the final act Pierson stood over Bittner,who was lying prone in death on the stage, and while delivering his'speech over the victim a drop of blood from his linger fell into Bittner's eve, making it difficult for the latter to keep still and be dead, as his part demanded.

Dnnlo Fails to Secure a Divorce From His Beautiful Bride. 0HLT A BRIEF CONSULTATION Heeded for the Jury to Decide Upon a Ter dlct in Her Favor. HANIWAGEBS MADE ON THEEESULT. The Fair Defenaant Greeted With Cheers From the London Crowds. The jury in the famous divorce case yes terday returned a verdict in favor of the de fendant, Lady Dunlo. It only took 15 minutes to reach that conclusion. The de cision gives great satisfaction in London, and was received with cheers. TBT PUNLAP'S CABLE COMPAXT. London, July 30. During the summing up of Judge. Harmer in the Dnnlo divorce case this afternoon Flo Bilton Seymou r, sister to Lady Dunlo, entered the court room attired in such a startling costume as to create a sensation and the attract the at tention of .the whole audience. Flo's cos tumes hare been a feature of the trial, and qnite a radiant one. In this she ha&een in marked contrast with Xady Dunl1 who has worn the same dress, a sober gray, without much trimming and made very plainly. During the coun sel's closing speech and the Judge's charge Lady Dunlo sat toying with her lace hand kerchief with a very demure look on hex face and an expression of confidence that even inspired the lookers on with a feeling that she would come out of the trial vic torious. BKrinrO IN HEB PAVOB. The prevalence of this feeling was proved by the extraordinary amount of betting that was done during the time the jury was out, when large odds were offered that a verdict would be found for Lady Dnnlo. The jury was not ont more than a qnatter of an hour, and the verdict was not accompanied by any great amount ot violent 'discussion. It is said by a juror that it required but a few moments to find that neither respondent nor co-respondent was guilty. They there fore decided to dismiss the petition with costs against Dunlo. When the jury returned to its box and the foreman announced the verdict Lady Dnnlo was sitting directly before him with the same demure, confident smile on her face she had constantly worn, and which changed into one of enormous satisfaction as Boon as the foreman ceased speaking. At once she was surrounded by a number of friends who shook her hands, showered congratulations upon her and tried gener ally to make her feel happy, while the pub lic craned its neck behind ber friends and tried to add a word to the general rejoicing, althongh the feeling of rejoicing that cer tainly was felt found no expression in ap plause when the verdict was announced. CHEEBS FOE THE VICTOR. But when the party consisting of Lady Dunlo, Flo Bilton, Mr. Seymour, Wert heimer and several others appeared on the street, they were loudly cheered and sur rounded by this crowd of chance admirers. The party "proceeded to the Cafe Boyal, where they dined, the observed of everyone. Lady Dunlo s triumpn is weu received. The trial attained the importance of a sport ing event and was the subject of betting at the various resorts abont town, and, as in the court room, odds were entirely in her favor, and they largely increased during the judge's charge, when 100 to 1 was offered on her. The crowd that greeted Lady Dunlo when she stepped from the court numbered fully 3,000, waving their hats and hurrahing as though it were a reception to a royal per sonage. She bore herself with great dignity and bowed right and left as she entered a hansom, to do which the aid ol half a dozen policemen was necessary in clearing a passage. When in the carriage Flo perched herself on her husband's knee and thus they proceeded to the Cafe Boyal with the attendant mob howling out its congratula tions on the sidewalk. AT THE MUSIO HALL. This evening the party attended . the per formance at the Boyal Musie Hall, Hol born. Lady Dunlo and Mr. Seymour occu pied a box, the former sitting with her back to the audience, while Flo appeared on the stage in a song and dance, according to the terms of her engagement. Lond cheers rang through the house when Lady Dnnlo was recognized, though she looked serious and somewhat glnm. Flo Bllton also received a warm welcome on her appearance and lond applause at the end of her "turn," and as soon as it was over the Dunlo party left its box and, avoiding the crowd which was waiting at the' front en trance to see her ladyship, was whirled off in a cab from the stage entranoe amid the enthusiastic applause of half a dozen dirty, slovenly, little girls and boys.

Civilized Europe is shocked at the receipt of , the full details of, the Bussian persecution of Hebrews. Tbe Czar's edicts are of the most cruel character, and must, if enforced, ruin thousands. Tbe first edict says: , "No Hebrew is any longer permitted to own or even farmland.". All Hebrew land owners, farmers and agricul tural laborers are thus expelled from their village homes. Unless they have saved means enongh for their subsistence they will .be reduced to beggary. To intensity the severity of this edict the government offi cials have inclnded hundreds of small towns in the category of country villages, and ex pelled members of the race from them by tens of thousands, who will thus be rendered homeless. These laws, known as the May laws, were promulgated in 1882, but never en forced until now. The second edict "pro vides that all Hebrews, numbering mahv thousand families, settled outside the 10 specified counties shall be expelled. An equallv large number of the artisan class will be rendered homeless by the enforce ment. The cruel part of these prohibitions is that an enormous proportion of the Hebrew popnlation is skilled agricul turists, artisans and professional men who were all adding largely to the wealth of the empire. All these will now be ruined. It is estimated that nearly 1,000,000 people will'be expelled from their homes under" these most tyrannical and reactionary laws. The consequent migration causes a conges tion among the starving fugitives in the cities where the race is still allowed to dwell, which is dangerous and may possibly result in pestilence, but only one object can be contemplated by the instigators of the persecution, namely, the total extermina tion of 4.000,000 Hebrews in Bussia. The race has always been subject to excep tional laws which, however, did not render their living impossible. They, in fact, in. creased in numbers, wealth and intelli gence, were industrious, thrifty, law abid ing and sober and were successful merch ants, traders, artisans and agriculturalists. A few were .permitted to enter universities and later became distinguished as lawyers, physicians and men of science. All this is now changed. The Czar has declared a re ligious war against all who fail to conform to the orthodox Bussian church. It is rumored that tbe victims ot this Bnssian oppression will, as in 1882, break through the cordon on the Galician-German frontier and find an asylum in free England, to the injury of its overstocked labor market.

Smith, a farmer living at Castle Hill, bad a terrible battle with a mad stallion Monday, being pitted against the animal for more than an hour with only his fists as weapons of defense, until the stallion Kicnea a siea staice irom tbe side of the barn, thus furnishing the farmer with the mean's to kill his foe. During the whole of last winter Mr. Smith drove a team in the lumber wood, one of his team being a large stallion of such vicious disposition that no one but Smith could handle, him. At the closo of the winter's operations Mr. Smith took the stallion with him to his home in Castle Hill, and during this spring and summer has wotked him on his farm withont trouble. Monday he har nessed him and his matelto the horse hoe and began hoeing potatoes, when all at once the stallion became vicious and franti cally attacked his mate with his teeth and hoofs. Mr. Smith quickly unhooked the traces and succeeded in uncoupling the horses, when the stallion attacked him. He is a powerful and very resolute man, and, after a fierce struggle, in which he was se verely wounded in the hip by the animal's feet, he succeeded in subduing the horse, and, leading him to the barn, he hitched him to tbe barn floor. lie removed the har ness and was proceeding to take him to his stall, when the brute suddenly attacked him. Tbe wind blew the barn door shut, and Mr. Smith found himself imprisoned on the barn floor with the frantic brute. For nearly half an honr he fought him with his fists, leaping aside to avoid the assaults as much as possible, being olten knocked down and fearfully bruised. He found his strength failing and was just making up his mind that it was all up with him when tbe horse, in some way, loosened a sled stake from the side ot the mow, and Smith saw it rolling toward him on the floor, and, seizing it, he swung it with all his'strength, striking the stallion just behind the ear. The blow laid the brnte dead at his feet. Smith was ter ribly cut and bruited by the stallion's teeth and hoofs, but his Injuries are not danger ous.

He intimates in his application lor an injunction to stop tbe raids of the city police on the bookmakers at his racing track, that Mayor Cregier and Chier of Police Marsh are simply enforcing the demands of the downtown bookies. Corrigan also asks in his bill tbat a capias be issued for the arrest of the Mayor and Chief Marsh. Baids on poolrooms were made all day to-day, the Corrigan factions closing the down town resorts and the gamblers downtown securing the arrest of the bookies out at the park. Unless the war comes to a speedy close it will ending gun fight, as both sides are heavily armed. NEWNATIONALPAKTI; Jjfel;prganized by a Combination oj ?''

It includes the Prohibi tionists, Patrons of Industry and Union Labor men. The dominant politicians are alarmed by the strength of the movement. rSFZCTAL TSLXaUAX TO THE DISFATOB. LANSING, Mich.j July 30. The sig nificance of the political movement here to dav is of more than State importance, as it heralds the birth of a new national party if the predictions of the delegates can be believed. The Patrons of Industry held tbe first inning, and at first showed a decided inclination to kick over the traces, bnt wiser counsels pre vailed, and they left the whole matter in the bands of their committee, which means fusion. The Union Labor men have already come to an understanding, and the Prohi bitionists have given over some of their ultra ideas for the sake of consolidation. The Bepublican party, the dominant party in Michigan, is honestly and outspok enly frightened at the ontlook. The Pro hibitionists wonld not give up their stand on the liqnor question. The new party is as yet without a name. The plat form as reported from the committee declares in favor of progressive politics, the Australian ballot system, the election of President, Vice President and Senators by the direct vote of the people, no disfranchisement on account of sex, the limitation of the private and corporate owner ship of lands, the governmental control of the telegraph, telephone and railway sys tems, such a tariff as is necessary to rahe revenue sufficient to carry on the affairs of government on an economie basis, and this tax to be levied so as to be least burdensome to the laborer and producer. It also favors the free coinage of silver and the increase of enrrenoy to meet the demands of business, all money to be issued by the general Government, and be full legal tender for all debts, and also to be loaned to the people by the Government at a low rate ot interest. In general terms it declares against trusts and combines, and monopolies in every form, and demands State and national laws so adjusted that all producers shall receive a jnst and fair proportion of the results of their labor. One idea of the new party's strength can be gained from the fact that there are 30,000 Patrons of Industry in Michigan. The Prohibitionists cast 21,000 votes at the last Presidental election, and the United Labor party is a good third. A. S. Partridge, of Flnshing,National President of the Patrons, will be nominated for Governor, and Henry I. Allen, the labor leader, of Schoolcraft, for Lieutenant Governor. JUDGE TAxXOB BEKOMINATED.

Taylor did not disclose itself in convention to-day, and the Nineteenth district will continue to be rep resented by the able gentleman from this city, who succeeded Garfield. Judge Tay lor's nomination was by acclamation, and his speech of acceptance was a masterly talk of 20 minutes' duration. After the convention a party of 30 disgruntled delegates assembled in a room at the Park Hotel and made speeches advocating the placing in the field of an independent candidate against Tay lor. Ex-State Dairy and Food Commis sioner Derthick, of Mantua, who was men tioned as a convention dark horse, was ad vocated to lead the independent dark-horse-forlorn-hope affair. That tbe Ashtabula county delegation came prepared to take any advantage ot a break in the convention was disclosed by their afterward scattering broadcast tickets containing the name of Hon. S. A. North way, an eminent jurist from Jefferson, who was once before an opponent of Judge Tay lor for Congressional honors. The disaf fection from Congressman Taylor arises from postoffice appointments.

Baxter, of Davidson connty, for Governor by acclamation. He is a capitalist, and President of the Nashville Commercial Club, The plat form adopted indorses President Harrison's administration; commends the effort to enact a protective tariff that will restore and maintain confidence in the busi ness policy of the Bepublican party and pro tect and build up Industries. The platform recognizes the rieht of a free and honest ballot and the right and duty of Congress to enact laws to secure the same. NOTES OF POLITICAL 6TBD7E.

Brayley, one of the foremost fish merchants in New foundland, arrived here to-day on business and, it is said, on a secret mission in con nection with the islanders' troubles. In an interview to-day he said that from an ac quaintance with the whole colony many of the people express them selves as strongly in favor of annexa tion with the Uniled States if there is not a satisfactory settlement of the ques tion which is now causing so much anxiety on the island. They argne that if there i's to be any change of allegiance at all it is better to unite with the United States, which they believe, will protect their interests, and at the same time they gain a market of 60,000,000 of people for what they can pro duce wb.ile.if they joined with Canada their gain would be a market of only 6,000,000 of people. It was an English man-of-war and not a French one which closed up Baird's Lobster Factory on the French coast, and English vessels are responsible for most of the acts which are causing the present trouble. In connection with the ball heretofore given annually to the officers of Her Majesty's ships, Mr. Brayley said that if such courtesy had been officially given this year it wonld have led to the overthrow of the Govern ment, BOTH TO FABH CB0PS. Thousands of Acres Devnstated by a Terri ble Hall Stoim. CAS3ELT0N, N. D., July 30. The most disastrous hail storm ot the season swept over the southern part of this connty early this morning. There is a strip of country about four miles wide and from 10 to 12 miles long, on which the crops are almost entirely destroyed. Hailstones as large as hen's eggs were picked up at 9 o'clock this morning. All the crops in this section will be a total loss, but it is impossible at tbe present time to estimate the damage accu rately. But few of tbe farmers in that sec tion carry any insurance on their crops. A Wheatland, N. D., dispatch says: A hailstorm of unusual severity passed over the town of Walbnrg, south of here, early this morning. The names ot zu tarmers have been obtained whose farms comprise 5,000 acres, of whose crop 75 per cent is totally destroyed. The extreme hot weather of the past week has lowered the estimate ol yield fully 25 per cent. ONLY ONE SITE, Even Chicago Citizens Klcklsg Against a Doable-Jointed Park. SpeingfieLd, III., July 30. Notwith standing the favorable action of the Senate, the outlook for the safety of the World's Fair site is by no means a rosy one. The members from that part of Chicago known as the Westside, and who are opposed to the use of Jackson Park either as a whole or a portion of the site for the fair, were openly asserting to-night that they had formed snch a combination with country members as will preclude the bill in its present shape from receiving the necessary two-thirds vote. Up to a late honr the two factions were sconring the town in search of followers to make the fight to-morrow. Piesident Gage and Vice President Bryan, of the World's Fair directory, admit that tbe critical period has been reached in the legislation, but they are taking matters coolly. The Westsiders, if defeated in committee, will undoubtedly carry the fight into the House. A NOTED POLITICIAN GONE. Death of a Man Who Once Wasted to Whip Besjamln Harrison. Indianapolis, July 30. Colonel A L. Bridgeland, a well-known Bepublican poli tician of this city, died last night, aged 74. He helped Governor Morton organize the Indiana troops in 1861, and held many pub lic offices of both a State and national char acter. The News to-night tells this story of him: A gentleman who knew Bridgeland well relates that on one occasion he had threat ened to horsewhip Senator (now President) Harrison. It was during the Arthur ad ministration, when Hnrrison prevented Bridgeland's appointment as Consul to Barcelona, but Iriends prevented Colonel Bridgeland from carrying his threats into execution. Soon after Harrison's inaugura tion Bridgeland presented him with a team of horses in the name of the Indiana Re publicans. WOBETNB IN NOVA SCOTIA NOW.

SENATOR STOCKBEIDGE'5 PUIS TALE Senator F. B. Stockbridge, of Michigan, passed through this city last evening. He stated tbat at a Presidental dinner party Mr. Blaine's reciprocity ideas had been dis cussed and indorsed, and would be em bodied in a supplement to the tariff bill. While Senator F. B. Stockbridge, of Michigan, waited between trains at the depot last night, he gave utterance to an important piece of news regarding the reciprocity treaty. The Senator said that he dined on Tnes dry night at tbe White House in company with other Senators, and that the question was very freely discussed. He said that the feeling of tbose present were that a supplementary clause should be added to the bill giving the President dis cretionary power to suspend the operations of the tariff law in those countries with which a reciprocity treaty could be made with re lation to sugar, coffee and such products as this country could not produce. The sense was, he said, very strong among the diners tbat the question wonld be settled in thia way. the tabiff bill will PAS3. He further said that the tariff bill would become law this session without any doubt. Speaking about the tariff bill itself, Senator Stockbridge said that it would pass the Senate on the lines of the Senate bill of last year. He did not think the changes recommended by the Finance Committee would pass the Senate. "You can tell the constituents of your paper," said the Senator in his slow, de liberate way, "that the Bepublican party will pass a tariff measure which will be satisfactory to them, and formulated on the lines of the protective principle. I do not think that the changes recommended by the Finance Committee will pass the Senate, but rather that the bill will be modeled on the lines of last year's Senate bill. The changes in the metal and glass schedules were only made after very careful considera tion, and I think that these schedules will pass as they were incorporated in last year's bill, and which gavo satisfaction. OLASS IS SAFE. "If I remember aright the figure fixed on tin plate in the Senate bill was 2 cents, not 2 1-5, as suggested in the new bill. Ic is very likely that tbefigure will be rednced from 2)4 cents to 21-5, bnt there is no danger of any reduction on tbe latter figure being made. Tbe Democrats in the Senate have not introduced any new arguments against the principles of the bill; they have threshed ont the same old straw in the same old way, and the threshing will likely continne until they have no more straw to thresh. Their arguments partake more of personal abuse and attack than well directed logical argument against a question of eco nomic policy. "Regarding Mr, Blaine's reciprocity project, pursued the Senator, as he took another turn up the platform, "there is a feeling among Republicans that the propo sition CAME TOO LATE for incorporation with the present bill. Bui there is also a strong feeling tbat something should be done abont it. I dined last night, in company with other Senators, with the President, and this question of reciprocity was very freely discussed. It was the sense of those present," said tbe Senator, in a quiet way, and as if he were giving utter ance to the merest commonplaces, "that somethingshonldbedone.and what it was felt should be done was and it was strongly felt that a supplementary clause should be appended to the bill giving the President discretionary power to snspend tbe action of the tariff law, as far as its application to those countries was concerned with which reciprocity treaties, in relation to products such as sugar and coffee, which we do not produce, could be made. Taking Brazil now as an example of the present condition of commercial relations between the United States and such countries as would come within the scope of a reciprocity treaty, we have as a fact that three-fourths of the coffee crop of that country finds its way here. WE 'WEBE LOSEBS. "Prior to thejbill of 1871 the United State received three cents forevery pound ofooffee imported into its territory. But when the Government removed the dnty on coffee the Government of Brazil imposed an export duty of three cents per pound. The result was that the revenue coming in the United States Treasury from this source was diverted to tbe Brazilian treasury while the price of the article was not affected. It was thought last night that by making this treaty apply to all the countries interested it would bring about a consideration of this question and focus the matter in such a way as would lead rapidly to a solution of the subject. "There is po uneasiness felt in Washing ton," continued the Senator, "abont the Behring Sea question. The correspondence on tbe subject clearly shows the attitude of the Government to be merely in the right, and that we did not make demands which we were not clearly entitled to make. It is very evident that Salisbury is backing down from his position. AFEAID OF LOSING CANADA. "He admitted to Mr. Bayard the position assumed by onr Government, and his secession Is the result of representations made tbe Canadians. It was felt by the English Government that unless it took a decided attitude on the ques tion that the sentiment of secession among the Canadians was so strong as to result in their severing their connection with the Empire. England's action was taken to pacify the Canadians. "I haven't any donbt at all that the elec tion bill will pass this session. It will donbtless be amended and simplified and made so as to apply all over the country. There is a feeling among Bepublicans tbat the bill should be' made uniformly applicable both to North and South, so that'' no section could feel that it was being dis criminated against, No honest nan. as 2L-& .
