Field Marshal Prince of "Wales having graciously condescended to express regret for his schare in the scheme to keep Colonel Sir AVilliam Gordon-Cumming's misconduct from the knowledge of the military authoritiei, the matter is at an end. so far as that part of the baccarat scandal is concerned. The Radicals will endeavor to keep the thing alive by asking unpleasant questions in Parliament, and a lively debate is assured when the army estimates are again before the Honse, the intention being to note to reduce the estimates by the amount of thePrince's pay as Field Marshal and Colonel of several regiments. But nothing more substantial than fun will be gotten out of the busi ness. The fun promises to be somewhat satirical in character, as Mr. Labouchere intends to tay a good word for the Prince, on the ground that the poor man lives habitually in such an atmosphere of boredom that even baccarat should be permissible to him as a relief. But the cynical member for North ampton will not obtain much support from public opinion, w hich continues to be ex pressed through the customary channels strongly against the Prince's Gambling pro pensities. Wales Will Live It Down. The Trince has evidently resolved to live the scandal down. He has accepted several invitations to public ceremonies and his en .-cements alreadv include the opening of a convalescent hospital and several schools, J The rumor that he has consented to take the chair at the annual meeting of the anti gauibling society is unfounded and mali cious. On Wednesday evening, however, he did resume his role as the model prince and the patron of science. The occasion w as the centenary of Faradav 's birthday, and agreat crowd of England's most eminent scientific men assembled to do honor to "The Bac carat" and to Faraday. This order of precedence is strictly correct, and it is con firmed by the fact that all the newspapers re port the Prince's prosaic remarks verbatim, and nearly all summarize in a few lines a remarkable oration delivered by Prof. Lord Rahleigh, in honor of the great chemist, electrician and philosopher. The Prince' was received with much enthusiasm. Two short speeches v hich he delivered were punctuated by cheers, and no one sniggered when he gravely expressed regret that he had no time now to pursue the study of chemistry, which was the delight of his youthful days. The newspapers have been less polite than the scientific audience, and one has gone to the length of suggesting that the Prince might find room in his traveling trunks for test tubes, as well as for baccarat counters. A Had Defeat for the Tories. The dreadful dullness of the House of Commons was relieved Thursday night by the stand-up fight between the Government and the opposition, in which the former was defeated all along the line. Among the delegates to the Berlin labor conference none was more enthusiastic than the British in support of the proposal to raise to 12 j cars the age below which children should not work in factories. The British delegates included Sir John Gorst, an Under Secretary of State, and he told the House of Commons that in support ing the proposal referred to he was acting upon the express instructions of Lord Salis bury. But when philanthropic enthusiasm had had time to cool down, the Government fonnd that the Lancashire mill owners and operatives were dead against the age limita tion, and as these people possess and con trol many votes, they were able to compel the Ministers to take the disgraceful course of swallowing the pledges solemnly given in the Mght ol Europe. The Liberals sought to. insert a clause fixing the disabling age at 11, but the Gov ernment would not accept even this mild compromise in the face of the opposition of the Lancashire Tory members, who, by the way, were led by Lord Oranbome, the eld est son of the Prime Minister. The Government's Broken Fledges. No arguments, properly so-called, were put forward frjom the Ministerial benches. AH that the Home Secretary could urge in excuse for the shameiul breaking of pledges vas that no coun try had yet carried out the recom mendations of the Berlin conference, and the House showed its opinion of the Gov ernment's disgraceful conduct by voting the new clause by a majority of IS. A mighty cheer, recalling the lively fighting days of the earlier sessions of this Parliament, went up from the opposition side whe"n the num bers were announced, and the good Liberals went home to bed to dream vain dreams of general elections and Liberal ministries. The Government has been thoroughly dis credited, as well as defeated, but it is need less to say they will hold on to their seats with a firmer grip than ever. They have placed an electoral weapon in the hands of the Liberals, hon ever, which -rill be used with formidable effect .when -the lcg de F PARLIAMEN r-t. layed opportunity shall come. The scene in. the House of Commons was of a character to strike the popular imagination and to Bet thoughtful and moderate men thinking. Sir John Oorsfs Stinging Ecbnke. The tellers for the new clause were Thomas Burke, Radical Labor member, and Sir "William Houldswortb, an honest Tory member for Manchester, both of whom sat in the Berlin conference, and, with their colleagues, pledged England to a limit of 12 years for child work. Sir John Gorst, Under Secretary for India, who was Eng land's chief delegate at the conference, had, early in the evening, in response to argent calls from all parts of the Hpuse, given a passionless statement of the facts as to what took place at Berlin, which proved more demoralixing to the Government than all the arguments and rhetoric of the Liberal or ators, and when the division was called he walked out of the House without voting. The tellers against the clause were the official Government whips, who all the evening had been driving In reluctant Tories, and succeeded in mustering 189 votes only by threatening that the Government's defeat might be followed by a dissolution of Par liament, Costly Blundering of Matthews. The retention of Mr. Matthews as Home Secretary has long been the greatest mys tery in British politics. He is thoroughly unpopular in the country. Some of his colleagues detest him, and only Lord Salisbury, who raised bjm from obscurity to high Cabinet rank, professes to love nim. Hcis the most unsympathetic of men, and, as far as the" world knows, possesses no brilliant quali ties calculated to compensate the Govern ment for the numerous blunders of which he has been guiltv. Here is an opinion of Mr. Matthews, which his conduct in the House of Commons Thursday night has provoked the Daily Tdegraph, a strong supporter of the Government, to utter to-day: Wo do not suppose for a moment that Mr. Matthews was conscious while ho spoke of the hard and pitiless tone of his own words; but to anv one who bore in mind that he was talking, not or machines, hut of the young flesh and blood of the manufacturing counties, his sentences must have sounded more like those of an ogre than a Christian statesman. Cruelty to Factory Children. The Liberals, supported by a few kind hearted Tories and Liberal Unionists, were endeavoring to insert a clause 'which would prevent sordid Lancashire operatives 'from putting their children to work before the age of 11, and Secretary Matthews was horrified at the idea. He gave no thought to the little children, numbering nearly 200,000, whoie parents, under the present law, are permitted to send them to the mills at 5 o'clock in the morning, winter and summer, but he was filled with righteous wrath at the bare suggestion of taking the earnings of their small hands out of the pockets of fatben and mothers. As already stated, the House of Commons took the more humane view and defeated the Home Secretary and the Government. No self-respecting minister would remain in office a moment atler such a snnb, and a few people who assume that Mr. Matthews really has some sense of personal dignity are talking of his resignation to-night, for getting that he has been similarly kicked and cuffed upon at least a dozen occasions, and seemed to enjoy it. A BIG RESERVE FUND. THE BANK OF EN GLAND NOW HAS THE X.AKGEST .SINCE 1870, Money Is a Drag in the London Market Australia, India and the Cape of Good Hope Sending in Gold Small Business on the Stock Exchange. BT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. London, June 20. The reserve of the Bank of England is larger than at any time since 1879, after the liquidation following the failure of the City of Glasgow Bank, and money is a drug at nominal rates of interest- Discounts for short and three months bills opened this morning at 1 per cent to 1 per cent and closed weak at 1J. Money was in quiet demand at three fourth per cent in the morning, but unlend ableat one-half per cent before the banks closed. Although Austria is endeavoring to accu mulate gold for currency reforms, and 2, 000,000 will shortly go to Russia, while the German exchange is at the gold point and shipments from London to Berlin imminent, vet it is probable that the bank rate will be further reduced before the turn comes, for over 1,000,000 is stated to be on the way from Australia and India, and the Cape is sending in gold. But financial ease has failed to bring higher prices and stock exchange business here and on theContinenthasdwindledaway to the smallest possible dimension. To-day's business on the London Stock Exchange was probably the smallest in vears. The shares of many English railways have reached this week the lowest prices of the year and the market for the bonds of foreign Governments has been dull and weak since the bears in Paris and London closed their accounts. French rentes are indeed strong, but their price is no longer an indication of the prevailing tendency of the Bourse.

The three canoes are identical, those o'f Parsons and Millet being modeled after Bigelow's Caribee, in which that en thusiastic canoeist has already cruised all over North America, the West Indies and half of Europe. , As the first 100 miles of the Danube are full of rapids, which the canoeists must shoot, they will send on their sails and all heavy traveling utensils to a point where the stream becomes better navigable,at Ulm.

EUROPE'S BIG Z0LLVEREIN. THE GREATEST COMMEBCIAL. TREATY ETEB CONCLUDED Quietly Negotiated and Now an Accom-- pllshed Fact Germany, Austria, Hun gary, Italy and Switzerland the Con tracting Forties Probable Effects on Other Powers. Copyright 1831 by the New YorkAssocl&ted Press. Beblln, June 20. The formation of a great central European customs league is an accomplished fact, acknowledged by the official circles. The exchange of com munications between Germany, Aus tria. Hungary, Italy and Switzerland has resulted in the basis of an agreement which became known here to day. Interest In the realization of the most formidable zollverein ever conceived will overstep that in every other public matter when the scheme is generally published. In the meantime the official circle alone knows that the negotiations have attained a defi nitely successful stage. The terms upon which commercial union was agreed are meant to be held secret until after the plenipotentiaries prepare the draft of the treaty. A conference for 'this pur- Sose has been arranged to meet at Berne uly 20. The leagne is to be an intimate commercial alliance, in which no one of the contracting powers will be privilegedto form a trade treaty with any other outside the union until it first obtains the assent of the other parties to the alliance. It is understood here that the Govern ment has obtained the consent of the Fed eral States of Germany to a denunciation of the treaty of Frankfort, and to accept whatever consequences may arise from the hostility of France to such a course. The existence of the league will naturally affect the trading relations of the four contract ing powers, with France, England, the United States and every quarter of the globe. How far their independent action will be controlled, depend upon the nature of the decisions of the Berne conference. I AND MY PEOPLE. The Emperor Closes the GerxnanXandtag by a Characteristic Speech. Beklln, June 20. The Emperor closed the Landtag to-day in a characteristic man ner. He congratulated himself and the country on getting from the upper and lower Houses of the Landtag all that his Ministers had demanded. His references to the projects which had been forced upon the upper House were listened to in gloomy silence. Touching upon ecclesiastical affairs, the Emperor said he noted with pleasure that the restriction to the Catholic church of the clerical stipend', which had been stopped during the kulturkampf, was resulting in an essential advance of the settlement of difficulties between the Church and the State, and'also in the maintenance of relig ious -peace. In the sinule concluding nass- age of his speech, alluding to the foreign situation, His Majesty said: "Considering- tnat tne session now aoout to ciose nm uc attended with fruitfal results, I and my peo ple may cherish the hope that these results may be turned to good account while we continue to enjoy thf blessings of 'peaoa, whiclfThavo no reason to apprehend Avill be imperiled, and the preservation of which is the object of my unremitting endeavor." A CRISIS IN ITALY. It "Will Occur "When the Kingdom Joins the Triple Alliance Once More. BT CABLE TO TBS DISPATCH. Loudon, June 20. There is reason to be lieve that Italy has not yet formally re bound herself to the Triple Alliance,but it is bevond doubt that she is about to do so. "When that has been done there will be a ministerial crisis in Rome. The majority of the Cabinet favors the Triple Alliance; but on other matters the opinions of the Ministers are hopelessly divergent The Minister ofFinance in particular has caused more trouble than all the other members of the Cabinet put together. He is still feverishly seeking to establish a financial equilibrium and has submitted during this month alone no fewer than. 30 distinct proposals for raising money, of which his colleagues have approved only two. The rejection of each proposal has been automatically followed by the tendering of Signor Luzzati's resignation, and this has been invariably refused by King Hum bert, who will not allow a ministerial crisis to occur, so long as the new Triple Alliance shall remain incompleted.

COL. SEAMGHT BADLY DEFEATED. Knocked Out at Every Point in an-Attempt to Secure Control, TOUNG SEABJGHT STARTS A BAD HOW r SrlCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCn. Uniontown, June 20. Factional ele ments cut a high figure in the Democratic County, Committee, held in the Court House here this afternoon. Colonel T. B. Sea right, acting as a substitute for a Third ward committeeman, although he played a very conspicuous part in the meeting, was knocked out in every round. The election of a County Chairman was effected without ajar, D. "W. McDonald, Esq., being unani mously re-elected. "William Graham was elected Secretary, also without opposition. "When the roll was called, it was found that only about three-fourths of the voting precincts in the county were represented in the committee, there having been no elec tions held in the primaries. Squire Cotton, of Dunbar, thereupon moved the committee proceed to fill the vacancies. Colonel Searight moved to .amend by oflering a resolution that the committee fix a time in July at which the Democratic voters of the .vacant districts should elect committeemen to fill these vacancies. J.E: Stillwagon, of Connellsv ille, moved to lay Colonel Searight's resolution on the table. This brought about an animated discus sion, in whieh it was plainly evident that the anti-Searight element controlled the committee. . A Crushing Defeat for Searight. Searight made a lengthy speech, in which he implored the committee to sustain his resolutipn. He admitted that the rules of the committee were against his position,and that the committee should fill its own vacancies, but argued that this was not Jef fcrsonian Democracy and that the election of these vacancies should be relegated to the voters of the precincts. He was- very demonstrative in his attempts to enthuse the committee in his behalf, but all to no avail. He vehemently demanded that the jeas and nays be given on Stillwagon's resolution. They were taken, and the result was 52 yeas and 12 nays. This complete defeat of Searight was wholly unexpected on his part, and leaves him with very little following in the county. The truth of the matter is the younger element of .the party has taken control, and are determined to make him take a private position in the ranks. This defeat of the Colonel is considered a rebuke to the State administration for allowing Searight to control the patronage from this county. An Appeal to Fists Averted. "When 'Squire Cotton offered his resolu tion to fill the vacancies in the committee, William Searight, a son of the Colonelj and who was not a member of the committee, shouted to the 'Squire: "You're not a Dem ocrat, you're a Prohibitionist," The 'Squire indignantly replied: "My Democracy has never been questioned, and whoever savs it was is a base fabricator." and at the sam, time several members of the committee and several members of the; audience veiled: "Put that ninny out; he is not a member,,: 0tC Vi AAmmintf f' John Boyle, a member of the committee, was foremostjn the denunciation of young Searight's interference, and had it not been for friends, who got between them, a bloody battle would no doubt have been the re sult. All the vacancies in the committee were filled with anti-Searight men; and out of the 100 committeemen Searight has only about ten. As this committee will elect the delegates to the State convention of this and next year, no Searight man will appear among them. REPUBLICAN-STATE CONVENTION.

There was a red-bot meeting of the Lawrence County Republican Committee here this afternoon. It was the first meeting held by the commit tee elected at the spring primaries, and was for the purpose ot forming an organization. The old McDowell-Phillips Congressional fight broke out anew with all its intensity. The first battle was caused hy the ex Secretary being refused a vote on the ground that there were charges instituted against him. This caused a long debate, and some warm words were passed between the members. John Sword, a Phillips man, was nominated for County Chairman, and the McDowellites put up H. "W. Griggsby. The vote stood 15 to 15; count ing the ex-Secretary's vote, he being a Mo Dowcll man. The presiding officer ruled out this vote, giving the election to Mr. Sword by a vote of 15 to 14. The Phillips men then easily elected John "W. Steen Secretary and Hiram G. Miller, Treasurer. MORRISON ANNOUNCES HIMSELF. The Chief Clerk Comes Ont for Treasurer at Philadelphia.

It is a well-understood fact that Captain Morrison has the support of Senator Will iam Flinn, Joseph L. Brown, and C L. Magee, the Republican leaders of Allegheny county. Representatives McCullougn and Marshall, of Allegheny, seem to be specially enthusiastic over Captain Morrison s candi dacy. Mr. Marshall spoke with earnestness, as he chatted at the hotel, He said: I think there is no doubt of Captain Mor rison being nominated.

It is being told to-night on very respect able authority that McLean has informed a friend of Campbell that in the event the latter is nominated the "Enquirer will sup port him, and he (McLean) will contribute to the campaign fund.

It doesn't mean anything beyond that. The Senatorial question win not be raised in our camp until the proper time arrives for its consideration. Then, of course, Mr. Sherman will be re-elected. General Grosvenor always takes an active part in Ohio politics and his recent troubles, arising out of his indiscreet utterances on the immigration question, have caused a great deal of amusement. It leaked out to day that one of the delegates to the Ohio convention which nominated Major Mc Kinley for Governor telegraphed to an official of the Treasury Department as fol lows: Tell Secretary Foster to keep Grosvenor in Europe until after next November, It will only cost $8 a day and expenses, and if tho Government cannot afford it, we will pay the overtime, as it is worth that much for the sake of Keppbllcan harmony in Ohio. As there is no one more anxious to keep Grosvenor out of Ohio at the present time than Secretary Foster, it is safe to say that if the ex-Congressman sails it will be for a long trip.

ONE UNKNOWN ASSAILANT SHOT (SPECIAL TELEOBAM TO THEPISPATCIT. Spbino Lake, N. J., June 20. During an encounter with two unknown men in the woods immediately behind Life Saving Sta tion No. 8 at Como, on the Jersey coast, a deputy United States Marshal, known here as Max Freeman, who has been in this vi cinity for some time searching for Gideon "W. Marsh, the fugitive President of the Keystone Bank, was seriously injured in the spine by being struck by some heavy -instrument. Freeman has for some time been watch ing the house owned by H. H. Yard, in which some of tha Johnstown sufferers were accommodated immediately after the flood. The house is situated in one of the loneliest parts around here and is unoccu pied, although furnished, having been left so by Mrs. Dr. Gage, who lived there last summer. Yesterday afternoon Freeman found one of the windows of the house open and, on searching the house, he discovered that a bed on the second floor had been lately occupied, and articles of clothing were scattered around the room as if they had been thrown off in a hurry. To Investigate in the Dark. Freeman determined to watch the house and visit it later in -the evening, and, in accordance with this plan, he secured a buggy, and along with Tim Hurly, the driver, and Michael Sexton, a constable.he drove to the place about 10:30. Arriving there, the horses were tied to a tree in the dense forest and the three men . began to move cautiously toward the house. After going a few yards Hurly stopped andwhis pered: "Don't you see something moving in Iront?" Hurly was right, for slipping from tree to tree in the darkness two men were seen moving toward the house. The party then separated, one, the constable going to the back of the house, Hurly staying near the outhouses, while Freeman went forward to the front of the house determined to find out who the two men were. Arriving at the porch, the strangers had disappeared and Freeman walked softly toward the window, which he had closed in the afternoon and which was now wide open. Fired at and Struck. "While standing examining the window a- man, tall, clean shaven and heavily hunt, rushed to the front of the porch and fired at Freeman, who had hardly time to fire back at his assailant before a second man struck him with a heavy instrument on the base of the spine and then ran toward the woods. Freeman fell on his face from the porch, and as he did so cried out to Hurly: J "Come quickl There they go, into the woods. "While lying on the ground Freeman emp tied his revolver at the two men One of them fell on his knees, but immediately jumped up again and made for the woods. Hurly and Sexton followed for some time, but finally came back to where Freeman lay. They picked up Freeman and dragged him to the porch, Sexton remaining vylth him while Hurly drove away for a doctor. Tim Hurly, the livery man, in telling of the adventure, said: ""We got up to Como a little before 11 o'clock, when we tied to a free. Freeman told me to stay by the out house. Then he put Sexton at tne back of the house. I saw two men moving in front of the house and told Freeman. He said: Wait, and ifyon hear any row come run ning up.' Freemen then went slowly toward the house, and I followed about ten yards behind. "When he got into the porch and was looking at the window I heard a shot and saw Freeman fall. One of the Men Was Hit. "He then called out, 'Hurry up! There they are,' and, crawling on his belly, he kept firing his pistol at the men. I ran for ward into the woods as far as I could go, and heard a voice say:. "My God, I'm shot.' Then I heard Freeman calling for help, and I ran back to him and went for Dr. Trout. I'm sure one of the men was shot, because I heard him groan, and I should know one of the men again if I saw him. Freeman lay on the porch until Dr. Trout came. Then he was conveyed to the town in a stage." This evening Drs. Trout and Kirkbride examined Freeman, and said he is suffering from a severe concussion ot the spine, in volving the interior column of the cord, causing partial loss of motion of the limbs. They say he will be confined to the house for same time. FOUGHT IN MTDArB, Two "Workmen on a tofty Tower Engage in a Perilous Combat. SPECIAL TELEOBAM TO TBS DISPATCH. 3 Napoleon, O.', June 20. A blood-curdling fight occurred here last evening on the roof ofthe tower of the new County House, 125 feet above the ground. John Young and Fred "Whyell were at work on the very highest point when a quarrel arose over the possession of a hammer. "Words soon grew into blows, and, after a few passes, the men clinched and a desperate struggle began. The men writhed and strained for life. Now one, then the other, was forced to the edge of the roof where he could look down at death. Hundreds gathered to see the awful contest, but the men, unmindful of shouts, fought on. At last the men tore themselves apart and began again showering blows upon each other. Young was knocked headlong toward the edge, but by a mighty effort saved himself and struggled to his feet, when he again clinched Whyell, and after a furious struggle forced him to the floor and choked him into unconsciousness. The effort was so great that Young was himself exhausted, and when other workmen reached the spot both contestants had to be lowered to earth by ropes. Young caused the arrest of "Whyell, who this morning was found to be the aggressor, and the Court sent him to Jail for W days.

He Is to Establish an Immense Iron Works at Once on tha Padflo Coast. rSPZCIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.! San Francisco, June 20. Charles J. Eames, of Pittsburg, claiming to represent a Pittsburg syndicate, has inaugurated a movement in San Diego to erect at once a gigantic iron works plant on San Diego Bay. He has received from the Chamber of Com merce of that city.an assurance of a $200,000 subsidy. In an interview Eames says: "It is a great privilege to be situated where the i large cities and consumers of iron can be reached by water transportation, and in time probably reaching out across the seas with our manufactured goods. Indeed, wherever we may locate the plant in South ern California, it is unquestionable that in time San Diego itself must become the great consumer orits raw products. On this.hay will eventually be located the rolling mills, with incidental ship-building yards, and a snare in tne worK ot building battle snips and that I understand one of your California foundries has oven now been invited iby the Government to bid upon." Eames has been prospecting in-Southern California for weeks and claims to have found iron mines in San Bernardino county, with enough ore in sight to supply the Pacific Coast for a quarter of a, century. He also found valuable deposits in Lower California. Eames says he willuise cruder petroleum as the reducing agent. m uiafJuiAUburing grcb uu-iuu KUOS, LAWSUITS DON'T BOTHER HLU. Fidelity Bank.

A MAMMOTH EKTERPBISE AFOOT To, -Furnish Pittsburg" With as Fine Hostelry as Any City Has. THE PROJECT IS NOW WELL UNDEE WAT The big hotel for which Pittsburg has prayed so long, and which has been built many times on a variety of sites, more or less airy, is really to rise in substantial brick and stone at last. The site is tho acre and a hall in the Fourth ward, upon which now stands the plow works of jfcu Speer & Sons. The amount of money it' volved in the purchase of the ground and the erection of the hotel will exceed ?1,000, 000, and may. run to $1,500,000. It is the intention of the principals in this gigantic: transaction to put up a hotel that shall compare lavorably -with tho best in the country, be it the, Audi torium of Chicago, the Fifth Avenue of New York, the Southern of St Louis, the "Windsor of Montreal, the Palace of San Francisco, or any other hostelry whose fame is coextensive with that of the city in which it is located. Although the Speer property has been in the market, to soma extent, tor quite a while, and rumor has erected everything on it, from a drygoods store to a theater, and from a church to a hotel, the negotiations by which Messrs. T)avid Shaw & Co. and Thomas H. Dickson i'ned an option on the ground, some 8 ago escaped public notice, and the V-el 5 ei project nuum nae uccu cuuccaieu xur a wmie longer had not the statements made in connection with Governor Pattison's veto of the whart bill rendered it desirable to tho projectors to set fonh their plans. Pittsburg's Need of a Big HoteL Mr. John E. Shaw, speaking for the firm of David Shaw & Co.. and in the presence ofMr. Thomas H. Dickson, said to a Dis itATCJi reporter yesterday: "The need for a hotel on a grander scale than any we now have has been felt in Pittsburg for several yean. The development of Pittsburg has proceeded by leaps and bounds in almost every direction, except as to hotel accomo dation. In our examination of the real estate field we have had the conclusion forced upon us that there is nothing in a strictly ligitimate way that Pittsbunr needs so much as a big hotel. At the same time, the objection 'to the majority of sites which we and others have considered for hotel purposes has been their high price and cramped limits. This has been the experience or individuals and syndicates who have tried to supply Pitts burg's patent need of a hotel, and it wa3 onr's till last month, when vt c obtained an option on the property now covered by the A.' Speer & Son's Plow "Works, fronting 240 feet on Duquesne "Way, with ample front age on Fifth street and Penn avenue as welL It is a clear acre and a half in extent, nearly a perfect square, which will give us ample room to erect as large a building as is needed, and the fact that the property fronts on one side upon Duquesne way, on the other upon Fifth street, and indeed is large enough to permit of light and air on all sides of the building, make it partiw larly desirable for hotel -purposes. Won't Be Stopped "by She Veto. '""It wo'wil have enhanced the valuer of the Duquesne, Vay front, of -'W feet, if the f Governor had seen lit to sign the wharf bin, '1 Knf hio -DAt-i-v ifft 1 1 nnt intarfursi .with 4Kcb but his veto will not interfere .with the erection of the hotel in the leat. Thfejriew of the river, with the allied advantages of, pure and cool air, and sunshine which it as sumes, must always bea most attractive feat ure of the hotel. The improvement of the wharf is bound to come in time, and it is true that we had forwarded a petition bearine a .large number of the best names in Pittsburg to Hamsuurg, wnen tne news 01 tne veto came. "It is too early to speak of the hotel plans in detail, but I can tell you that we have 300,000 actually subscribed, and the prom ise of enough more to make it a certainty that the amount will be $500,000. As soon as the company is incorporated there will not be the least difficulty in securing all the capital required; indeed, the gentlemen already approached are eager to keep so good a thing to themselves. The plan is subject to modification or enlargement, but at present the investment of l,000;000n considered sufficient to erect and furnish, in a suitably handsome style, the finest hotel building between New York andN Chicago. The ground is the largest, and most central of any hotel site in the market here to-day, and thecon tiguity of all the principal street car lines, the theaters and the shopping district has favorably impressed every capitalist vrhv has investigated the matter. Some of the Features Contemplated. "A roof garden with a cafe is one of the features that the new hotel will certainly contain, and the shape of the site lends itself to a number of attractive ideas, such as an arcade entrance on Penn avenue, a garden court within the hotel, and possibly a hall large enough to be used for conven tions, eta, as in the "Windsor Hotel, Mon treal. The charter of incorporation will be applied for in the near future, and in the meanwhile Pittsburg may rest assured that she will have as perfectly appointed and as imposing a hotel as there is in the country before very .loop The present plan is to commence operations in October next, and to have the hotel in thorough running order by 1893 in time to' catch the tide ot travel toward the Chicago "World's Fair. The owners of the hotel will be rep resentative of Pittsburg's interests 'in cluding several of her leading manufact urers and of them solely, so that the hotel will be a local institution of real and last ing value." IS SLAYIN AN ARTIST! His Presence Here May Lead to a Prose cution Under the Contract Labor Law. TSPECIAL TELEOBAM TO HB DISPATCH. New York, June 20. Is Slavin, the Australian pugilist, an artist? is the prob lem that the experts of the Treasury De partment have been requested to solve by Chief Contract Labor Inspector Mulhol land. In the official solution of the ques-, tionDr. J. A. Dougherty, a rich young blood, of Philadelphia, has much more in terest than either Mr. Slavin or Mr. Mitch ell, for if the experts say that Slavin is not an artist, the TJnjfcd States District Attor ney for the county of Philadelphia may be gin proceedings against the doctor for the recovery of ?2,000 for violating the contract labor law. Inspector Mulholland's interest in the matter was aroused on June 5 by a letter from Mrs. Worrell, of Philadelpnia, who wanted to know why it was that two En glish professional pugs, Frank Slavin and Charles Mitchell, can be brought to this country "to appear in public exhibitions and pugilistic contests under a contract with a Dr. J. A. Dougherty, and allowed to violate the law in its every meaning, when an American lady cannot bring a servant from Europe for her own use. Mr. Mulholland sent Colonel F. F. Lee out to find Slavin and Mitchell. All that he wanted was to get an affidavit froin the pugilists to prove the existence of a contract Mitchell said that be was willing to make any number of affidavits to oblige the Colonel. Mr. Mul holland said that the affidavits would be. sent- to "WaeMngtpS! t 0! Ti
