The Trades Union Congress -will open at .New castle Monday, when it is expected 500 dele gates, representing 2,000,000 workers, skilled and unskilled, will be present. At the Liverpool congress last year there were 457 delegates, representing a million and a half workers, the increase this year being due to the formation of new trades unions, including the bakers and cab drivers. John Burns, will not be present as a delegate, but his friends will nevertheless endeaver to en lighten the proceedings. Among the proposals which they wlH ask the Congress to accept will be the one for the estab-ishment of municipal workshops, which, according to Honry Broadhurst, leader of the old school of trade unionists, "is about as wild an idea in a country like Great Britain as the proposition to bridge the Atlantic and run a line of tram cars from .London to Jew Xork." sunebs' vroEKoa day. The most interesting discussion will proba bly arise out of the motion in favor of the bill proposing to limit the miners' working day to eight hours "from bank to bank."

The companies are charged with breaking the agreement made at the end of the last strike and generally with oppressing their men; but as far as can be judged at present the agitation is artificial and not likely to lead to a serious struggle. With this ex ception, the industrial atmosphere in this country is singularly clear. EAYEB3 UP IN ABMS. A curious strike is threatened in Lan cashire. For years past work people have complained bitterly of excessive steaming in the weaving she'ds, and efforts have been repeatedly, but vainly, made to. put a stop to a practice ruinous to the health of the workers, the employers declaring: -that, the trade could not be carried on profitably without it. Encouraged by promises of support from saveral large trades unions, the weavers have now resolved to abolish or minimize the evil without delay at the cost, if necessary, of a general strike in the trade. Three thousand weavers met the other night in Blackburn Exchange under the presidency of John Maudesley, a member of the Royal Cemmission on Labor, and passed resolutions calling for the total abo lition of steaming. The speakers told har rowing tales of the horrors ofthe sytem, and a proposition enunciated by the Secretary of the Blackburn Operatives Society, that "it was better to be starved than stewed to death," was enthusiastically cheered. There is little doubt that the workers will win. FOLEY ISK'T A BACHELOB. A Sensational Discovery in Regard to Prominent Irish Iader. London, Sept 6. The extraordinary story has just come out that Patrick James Foley, hitherto supposed to be one of the most confirmed bachelors ot the Irish party, las a wife at present confined in the insane ward ofthe Lancaster poor house, of which she has been an inmate for ten years. Mrs. Foley was admitted in February, 1881, by the Islington board of guardians, and the au thorities were in ignorance that she was the wife of a member of parliament till re cently. Finally a local newspaper got wind of the affair and worked up a story. Mrs. Foley, being interviewed, said that she was not insane and did not know why she was there. The woman, being brought before the board, made the following statement in writing: "What Mr. Foley states about me leav ing him is true, but he promised to come to an agreement which he failed to fulfill in record to making me an allowance. I was only away from him two years when I was locked up, and have never had my liberty since. As for p ersecuting him, I assure you that if I had my freedom to-morrow I would not walk on the same side of the street on which he might happen to be." Mr. Foley was asked if he would con tribute to his wife's support, and he em phatically answered "So." In reply to the Chairman, Mr. Foley said: "Mary Bates Foley U my wife. I have sent evi dence to the board to show my non-liability, and it is for the board to show eontrarv evi dence in the matter." The board has decided to prosecute Mr. Foley in tho police court TO SAVE HIS BOH. The Duke of Norfolk's Devotional Efforts for a Crippled Oflsprins. rnr cable to the dispatch.: London, Sept 5. The Duke of Norfolk has been on a visit to the famous shrine at Glastonbury, in the hope of benefitting his crippled son, on whose behalf he has prayed probably at every well-known holy spot in Europe. The Duke is, next to theMarquis of Bute, the wealthiest ofthe Catholic peers of Eng. land, and his visit to Glastonbury has been followed by a report, which is probably well founded, that the ruins of the grand old abbey are to be purchased and made habitable for a settlement of monks of the Benedictine order. Three-fourths of the vis itors to Glastonbury are American. Tleld Marshal Ton Blamenthal Resigns. Berlin, Sept D.

Field Marshal Ton Blumcnthal has been succeeded by J'rince Leopold, of Bavaria.

SALVATIONIST VICTORY. THE EKGLIU AKSTT WINS A NOTABLE FIGHT AT EASTBOURNE. Some Noble Wort Bitot Dona By the Slum Sisters FreeHelp for the Poor, the Sick and the Dying Most Cheerfully Given. BT CABLE TOT THB DISrATCHJ London, Sept. 6-Sinca General Booth's departure for the colonies, little has been heart, so far as Ao newspapers are con cerned, of the SaTvation army, beyond the weekly chronicli of free fights and broken heads at Eastburne, the fashionable water ing place, whose inhabitants energetically object to be&g saved by brass bands and street processions on the Sabbath. The fact seems to be, that although Booth has left at the headquarters some very capable men, there is sot one among them who under stands tie business ot obtaining gratituous advertisement as the General himself. That astute gentleman would certainly have Iiased a big loom upon the interesting annual report of the army's "slum work," which has just been issued and has some- noir aiiracieu very nine aiieniion. j.ne Salvation slum sisters now leok after the temporal and spiritual welfare of 18 dis tricts in London alone.

The former encouraged the rowdies by speeches in the Council chamber and on the judicial bench, and the latter bythelenienoy with which he treated assaults on the Salva tionists. The partiality of these at length became so gross and palpable that a reaction ses iu al over the country, and publio opinion has compelled the Secretary of State to remind the magistrates that it is part of their duty to punish law breakers.

Quite a mild sensation has been caused by the an nouncement that Monsieur Duval, aged 83, grandfather of the prospective bridegroom, has promised to be present at the religious marriage, wearing all bis decorations. The old gentleman refused to attend the wedding of his last grandson, on the ground that the bride was not pretty enough for a Duval.

TWO FEROCIOUS BOGS ARRAIGNED IN COURT AS CRIMINALS. One Was Placed on the Witness Stand In His Own Behalf He "Was All Inno cence and Gentleness Until. His Antago nist Appeared A Fight Averted. BT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. London, Sept B. Muoh blood, canine and human, has been shed in the peaceful village of Esher, in Surrey, since early summer, when Captain Charles Frodshem took to promenading its leafy lanes with a couple of benevolent-looking bull terriers at his heels. The terriers displayed a dis like for small boys and other dogs and from an early stage in their career attacked both with equal alacrity and ferocity. They soon became a terror to the neighborhood. The terriers by eood for tune or accident for a long time attacked vulgar little boys and dogs belonging to common persons, too poor to set the law in motion against them, but one day last week, emboldened by continued immunity, they seized one by. the tail and the other by the ear a village notable's collie. The efforts to save the collie were success ful, but not until the - struggle was trans ferred to the County Assizes, where Captain Frodshem was summoned to answer a charge of "allowine a ferocious do? beloneinc to him to be at large without having it under J proper control." 'xne deiendant indig nantly deelared his dogs were as gentle as lambs, and, with the Judges' permission, produced for their inspection the animal alleged to be the worse of the twain. Kearly everybody seemed to think that the terrier was cruelly wronged in being born a dog, so well did he act his part, but when, at the cunning suggestion of the plaintiffs counsel, the come was placed on the witness stand all the terrier left the canine defendant, and he became wholly, aggressively, ferociously bulldog. Had he not been in leashes he without doubt would have killed the collie and cleared the courts It was a sad faU from grace, and counsel for Captain Frodshem had no option but to admit that at rare intervals his client's dogs did lose their angelic temper. Finally the court decided that the defend ant's dog was a habitual and dangerous criminal, and made an order that it should be kept under proper control, which means muzzling and other indignities heart-breaking to any animal of SDirit. but there is great rejoicing and an unwonted feeling of security in and around here. BAEBED FB0 TEBUSALEK, The Russian Hebrew Refugees' Prevented From Locating In the Holy .Land. London, Sept 5. A letter is published here to-day from the minister in charge of Christ Church", Jerusalem, saying that on petition of the native tradesmen the Sultan has stopped the influx of Russian Hebrews, and that he will not permit them to land in Palestine without a special order. Fifty families who arrived recently by steamer were sent back. The letter adds that Baron Hirsch ought to arrange with the Porte terms of settlement which would permit Hebrews to locate in Palestine. Palestine, the writer says, is at present thinly peopled. If the country were ter raced, planted and supplied with water res ervoirs, it would be highly productive, and the cost would be small in comparison with me expense 01 me system aaopteq in Bouth American countries. In conclusion the clergyman says the country" across the river' Jordan is fine and fertile, practically unin habited, and able to receive 8n enormous number of inhabitants.

IF YOU ARE SICK, IF YOU ARE OUT OF WORK, THE TARIFF -OB TIE It Hasnt as Yet-Sent Up the Price of 'Fruit Cans Very High, THE EXTRAORDINARY .CROPS Having- Done More to Keep Bates Above Last Season's. little SHOWING 0P THE PRESENT "FIGURES The increased duty on tinned plate has" been in force now for two months, and yet tin cans have not become articles of luxury. Neither have they been raised from a lowly position without the kitchen door to a posi tion of ease and importance in the front par lor. Tin utensils form as necessary an-integral part of the domestic economy as they did twelve months ago, and, despite the ef forts of McKinley to make them so, they have not become so costly as to make their purchase a matter for grave consideration. An illustration of how the McKinley tariff on tinned plate has not sent up the cost of tinware is afforded In the case of fruit cans. The trade in these, cans has been very large-this year, due to the full ness of the crops, and yet the selling price this year is only as much above last year's as was warranted by an unusually brisk demand. The price of tinned fruit cans last year was 54 T5 per gross; the price to-day is from tS 00 to 55 60 per gross. This is the price of the wholesalers for cans made ont of American tinned plate. NO INCBEASE FROM THE TARIFF. These cans are being sold by the jobbers at exactly 6 cents a dozen above the prices of 12 months ago. As a iilatter of fact, the duty of 2 2-10 per pound has not increased the cost of these cans to the consumer in the slightest degree. The increase in price over last year's prices is due, as already stated, to briskness in business and unusual demand. If this is doubted, it is only neces sary to take the case of glass frmt jars, the price of which would be affected in the same manner as the tinned fruit cans. The glass fruit jars are not subject to a heavy import, and yet, while Mason's quart fruit jars last year sold for 57, this season the price has jumped to 511. The glass jars, not affected by the tariff, have become more costly than the tinned fruit cans, paying a heavy duty. "How has the duty on tinned plate af fected the retail price of tinware?" was asked Mr. Henry Demmler, of Smithfiela street, yesterday. "Hot to any appreciable extent," he re plied. "The price is very little higher than last year before the duty was imposed. But then tinned plate had sustained a rise owing to the prospective tariff The increase in the cost of tinware is as much due to the in crease in labor as to anything else. Tin makers last year were paid 52 25 for ten, hours' work; they are now getting $2 60 for nine. hours. Quite a proportion of our tin ware is made irom American tinned plate. We think it superior to the foreign because there is less acid in it, being treated differ ently, In place of tinware becoming dearer, we fear it may get cheaper in consequence of the cheaper methods which will be jised to make it LITTLE FEAR OF HIGH PRICES. There is little apprehension of tinware costing very much morl than it does at. present, in f he minds of men who looked at- tne matter without-bias. Twentv-inch and 14-inch plates, a standard size, sold last year for 4-60 per box. The same grade of tinned plate is being made in this city to day at a "cost of less than 84 50 ner .box.

Twenty-eight-inch and 20 inch terne plates, used for roofing, cooking utensils, liuing bath tubs, etc., are being sold for 514 per hox of 122 pounds, and have been sold, at this price for years. The cost of this size plate is $6 10 per box, and since the Pennsylvania Bailroad Com pany has been paying this price before the McKinley act was framed, the difference between cost and selling price cannot be laid at the door ofthe tariff ,C. S. Trench & Co., New York tin plate brokers, in a circular under date tne 28th of August, say: "The market has become very active Hhis week, and. a large business has been done, both dealers and consumers buying. Cheap parcels have been picked up and prices have improved freely 10 to 15 cents per box this week. As the packing season has another two weeks to run on peaches, and as there promises to be a large pack of corn and 'tomatoes which will run well into October, we cannot help thinking the outlook is excellent for prices being advanced, as the stock of coke tins is known to be very limited, and because no coke can be imported from Eng land at present under 25 to 30 cents per box over present prices ruling here, on account oi tne heavy McKinley duty. NO DECLINE LOOKED FOB. "It is very doubtful if we will see any decline on present English prices lor some little while, as fully 40 per cent of all the English works "are closed, and the works that are running are turning out very small quantities. The present stock at English shlDDine ports is about 100.000 boxes. "We have not been able,to trace any American manufacturers who have been able to turn out cokes available for canning purposes, so we do not set any indication of relief from this quarter. It seems to us our canning trade must stand, as best it can the enormous tax levied on this industry by the McKinley bill." Judging by the intention to make turned plate;so manifested from every quarter, this is the last time, in all probability, the New Xork importers will seek to blame Ameri cans for not meeting a demand they were unprepared for. FB0- CONVENT TO STAGE. A New York Heiress Leaves Paris and Joins a Company In America. Bochester, N. Y., Sept C. Special Something of a sensation was created here to-day by the discovery that a New York heiress has appeared among the supporting company of Joseph Haworth, who has ju9t concluded a three nights' engagement at the Lyceum. Her name on the programme is Miss Lotta Keith, but it has come to light 1 that she is a member ofthe well-known and immensely wealthy Linthicum family of New York, while her guardian is Mr. D. Q, Yuengling, a New York brewer, whose establishment in the metropolis covers two blocks in Harlem. dt appears that Miss Linthicum and Miss Kathryn Kidder, fast friends, were in Paris 'together during the past summer. Miss, Kidder's engagement with' the Haworth Company was made by cable, and Miss Linthicum, or Miss Keith as she is now called, stated her determination td accom pany her friend to America to also secure an engagement with Mr. Haworth. Miss Linthicum had been in a convent 'in Paris, and, unmindful of remonstrances, packed her little steamer trunk and came to this country with her friend. Manager Sheddes said yesterday in refer ence to the matter: "It is an exaggeration to say that Miss Keith left Paris surrepti tiously. It is true that her name is Miss Linthicum. and that her guardian and mother did not especially approve of her determination to go on the stage, but after consultation with Mr. Haworth and myself they gave their consent Her maid is always with ner, and Miss Kidder may be said to act in the capacity of chaperone." The company departed for Pittsburg this morning. Miss Keith made an extremely favorable impression while here. Feet without corns are pearls of high, price.

PERILS OF BUILDING. Some of the Weighty Problems Which Trouble the Contractors. EFFECTS OF THE LABOR UNIONS. Strikes Usually Cause Heavy Losses on Both v Sides of the Fence. INTENT0ES TOO SWIFT FOE THE AGE The fall of the scaffolding at the Hamil ton building, on Fifth- avenue, during the storm the other' day set W. S. Sharon to commenting on the perils that environ the building trade these days. He said that when the architect, Captain Barr, took charge it was understood that he was to put the job through without regard to strikes, the agreement ' being made before the date of the carpenters' and bricklayers' strikes. Accordingly Mr. Barr was forced to grant the eight-hour demand. He had much trouble notwith standing, and among other things some ot the carpenters blundered, and the jelsts were cut too short and a considerable amount of lumber damaged, as the architect was obliged to get men as he best could. After the strike failed tbe men worked nine hours. Mr. Donovan had the contract for the brick work. He paid his foreman 54 50 per day, and he ran the work as best he could. Some days the bricklayers' union pre vailed and on others it was a go-as-you-please. Though the Building Inspector had allowed the fifth and sixth stories to be put on tbe owners finally be gan to fear the old walls were not sufficient ly heavy and the last story was in conse quence made a combination of brick wall and mansard roof. MIXED UP BT MANY BOSSES. Finally a disagreement sprang up between the owners and Captain Barr and the father of the latter was deputed to see the job fin ished. He put George S. Fulmer, a Build ers' Exchange man, on and this caused more trouble with some of tbe carpenters, and the final result was that the building came entirely under the management of Builders' Exchange regulations. Mr. Sharon states that the various vicissitudes which befel the work made it cost some 53,000 or 54,000 more than it should have done and he suggests that the only way to insure prompt work nowadays is to put it in charge of one responsible head and on him let the entire responsibility devolve, and cites the case of the Willey building which was erected under two or more con tractors and has caused endless confusion in the fixing of the responsibility for the mis hap that Wei it Doubtless 'twould save a world of trouble to owners if they could let their work to contractors and make them give bond to finish according to contract regardless of wind or weather or strikes, but how many have sat down and analyzed the situation so as to able to tell why(when wealth is pro duced at a rate never before equaled, there is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, wives weeping and chil dren going to bed hungry, or if with .full stomachs, wandering in rags scarce sufficient to insure their arrest for indecent exposure? It comes of the extraordinary and unprece dented fertility of invention. ' Indeed, it is held with considerable show of reason and strength that all that has been fained by invention and more, too, has ee'n lost by the destruction of sound and new but out-of-date machinery. Labor saving machines follow each other, so rap idly, and each is so much superior to its predecessor, that manufacturers and fanners During the great Pittsburg Exposition we will offer the following inducements to out-of-town buyers': ON $10 WORTH OF GOODS WE PAY THE FREIGHT.

Of course, the poorer clas? cannot follow, and hence cannot compete, and some farm ers who work hard are crowimr poorer day by day. In the nfanufacturing line, mechanics are not of late years trained to be all-around men, but specialists. They learn but a part of a trade, tend some particular machine and wken there is a surplus of product from that kind of machine they must go idle. CHANGES IN A GENERATION. . A generation ago a carpenter who built a frame house did all tbe woodwork himself, even to the mak- ing of doors, frames and window sash and when he got a house to build he had employment for a year. Now it is a work of a few weeks and the carpenter is only a fitter and a person of much less cop sequence than formerly, and labor saving machinery has narrowed the field of opera tions, so that comparatively few people are employed to what would be neces sary under the old system, and so of almost all kinds of labor. It has been suggested that inventors take a rest, say for 20 years, and that no new patents be granted during that time in. order to allow manufacturers, farmers, etc., to wear out their machinery and adapt themselves in advance to new methods. It is safe to say that tbe advice will not be followed, butthat the flesh and bone'grind ing process will continue, and strikes which are at best but cruel and drastic remedies, will continue until some better system of distribution of profits is devised which will give all able and willing to work a decent living.

THURLOW WEED'S DISAPPOINTMENT? naimcK toittbx dispatch.1 T was the uuexw pected that hap pened in Chicago on that fateful ISth of May, I860, when Abraham Lincoln was nom inated for Presi dent of the United State?. It was whplly unexpect ed by the friend of Seward; it was hoped for, but not confi- dently expected, by the friends of Lincoln. The convention was the ablest assembly of the kind ever called together in, this country. It was the first national delibera tive body of the Bepublican party that was to- attain such illustrious achievements in the history of free government The first national convention of that party, held in Philadelphia in 1850, was composed of a loose aggregation of political tree thinkers, embracing many usually denominated as "eranks." The party was without organi zation or cohesion; its delegates were self appointed and responsible to no regular constituency. THE NOMINATION OP FBE1IONT. It was the sudden eruption of the interns resentment of the people of the North against the encroachments of slavery in Northern Territories, and neither in tho charaeter of its leaders nor in the record of its proceedings did it rank as a distinctively deliberative body. It nominated a romantio adventurer for President a man untried in statesmanship and who had done little to commend him to the considerate judgment ofthe nation as its Chief Magistrate in a period of uncommon peril. The campaign that followed was one of unusual brilliancy and resulted in anchoring nearly all of the old Democratic States of the West in the Kepublican fold. In I860 the principles of the Kepublican party had been clearly defined; its organi zation had been perfected in every Northern State, and each delegate to that convention in Chicago was regularly chosen and repre sented a great party, inspire-1 by a devotion to its faith that has seld eenequaled and never surpassed in all our poUuciHuj- tory. .ine iialo ot romance tnat encircle General Fremont, "the Pathtinder'-foj years beiore naa pensneu, ana ne was thought of as a candidate.
