LONDON, June 3. The last session of
the present Parliament virtually closed to
day. The desire of a section of the Cabinet,
strongly supported by Mr. Chamberlain
and the Unionist party, to pass the Irish
local government bill so that they would be
able to go before the constituencies with
their Irish pledges redeemed, has failed to
prevail against electoral exigencies.
The Radicals have decided not to oppose
the passing of the estimates, which will be
voted in the desultory fashion in which
millions are usually voted at the fag end of
a session. The Queen will curtail her stay
atBalmoral and will return to "Windsor June
22 in order to avoid the necessity of the
Ministers traveling to Scotland to tender
their resignation.
The formalities of the dissolution of Par
liament are certain to occur before June 25,
and the electoral contest has already com
menced. The date of the opening of Mr.
Gladstone's Midlothian campaign is not yet
fixed. His idea of addressing small meet
ings from village to -village has been aban
doned, and, instead, he will address three
great meetings one at Edinburgh, another
at West Calder and the third at Dalkeith.
Gladstone's Eyesight and Uearinc Fall.
Mr. Gladstone is in capital health, but a
great speech nowadays leaves him almost
prostrated. In his letter to the Trades
Council, appointing June 16 for an inter
view, Mr. Gladstone for the first time com
plains of deafness, and he asks that the
deputation sent to him be few in number.
His eyesight, too, seems to be tailing, for
recently he had to ask Mr. Morley to read
a document for him in Parliament. Mr.
Gladstone's face-about on the eight hour
question receives scathing treatment in the
columns of the Conservative papers.
The Liberal election funds, already
swollen by large contributions from wealthy
Liberals desirous of political promotion,
hae received an unexpected accession in
the labor interest. The contribution came
indirectly from Andrew Carnegie, the
American iron manufacturer, who thus puts
to & practical test his principle that wealth
should be used for the benefit of the peo
ple. A difficulty, however, has arisen as to
which of the genuine labor candidates are
entitled to the benefit.
The Irish End of the Campaign.
The McCarthyites are noiv completing
their election programme. The whole of
the 55 sitting members will seek a re-election,
and all of the Parnellite seats will be
contested by McCarthyites. The amount of
the American donations to the election
funds will largely determine.the fate of the
Parnellites. General Collins, the Ameri
can delegate, left London for Dublin with
O'Connor to endeavor to promote a recon
ciliation between the two Irish factions, but
it is not likely that he will succeed.
Russian petroleum refiners are urging
their Government to try to induce the
Khedive of Egypt to refuse to sanction the
regulations permitting the transportation of
petroleum in bulk through the bucz Canal.
Iiuscia, however, will not interfere unless
England co-operates. Rumors are current
that Germany is quietlr trying to bring
about a disruption of the Franco-Russian
entente by means of the Suez Canal question.

The German Emperor has definitely ac

Wight, during the summer. He will come

is serving a term of imprisonment for kill

from the Londonderry jail to Dublin to

June. Her husband's appeal for her release
has been rejected.

SPEED, NOT ACCURACY,
The Watchword in the Census Bureau An
Old Slatd Says the lonnB " Pretty
Clerks Got All the Snaps No Time to
Correct Errors.
Washington, June "a In the census
investigation to-day J. H. Wardwell testi
fied that he had formerly been an engineer
in the Census Bureau. While there he had,
by order of Chief Engineer Cully, destroyed
hundreds of thousands of official envelopes
already addressed. He had also burned 500
or 600feet of lumber, for which the bureau
had paid from 55 50 to $6 a hundred. He
did not know whether or not Superintendent
Porter was cognizant of these matters, but
thought that he should have been, buper
intendent Porter had appointed to place
persons who were generally known about
the city as bad characters.
Miss Clara D. Boswell, "an old maid," as
she described herself, and a former employe
in the Census Bureau, testified that she had
been employed in punching the enumera
tion slips. The employes were told that
speed was needed, and not accuracy, and
they were driven like animals, many of
them tainting under the stress. The work
was consequently inaccurate, for the clerks,
being forced to make large records, would
not stop to correct the errors. Because of
the character of the work the men would
not undertake it, so it was placed en the
women. There was favoritism shown to
ward certain female clerks, and they were
always the young and pretty employes.

ALGER'S PARTNER GIVES AWAY A PLOT
HILL THINKING OF HIS BOOM,
And Trying to Blake Up His Blind What
to Do With It.
Kew Yoke, June 3. Chairman Murphy,
of the Democratic State Committee, has is
sued a call for a conference of the regular
Democratic State delegation to the Na
tional Convention at Chicago. The meet
ing is to be held at the Hoffman House,
next Tuesday evening. It is said that
Senator Hill will attend, and that impor
tant action will be taken with reference to
the Senator's candidacy.
A Troy dispatch, says: On good author
ity it is asserted here to-day that at the
New York meeting it will be proposed that
in case the National Committee refuses to
admit any portion of the contesting dele
gates the regular delegates will stay by
Mr. Hill, but if any Syracuse delegates are
admitted, the February delegates are to
change their allegiance to Roswell P.
Flower, discarding both Mr. Hill and Mr.
Cleveland. The proposition to make this
change is to be submitted to the contesting
delegation.
rsrXCIAL TILKGBJLM TO THE DISPATCH.
Washington, June 3. Mr. Blaine
stated authoritatively to-day that he would
write no further letters, telegrams or com
muni cations of any sort about the nomina
tion, and he appears determined to adhere
to the decision, although 4he is constantly
subjected to the strongest kind of pressure
to define his position in writing. .
Many requests of this sort have been re
ceived by him to-day from his friends in the
West, and it is said that a telegram arrived
here this afternoon from Chauncey M.
Depew urging that Blaine's silence was
threatening to disrupt the party at Minne
apolis, and that he ought to inform the
delegates at once, and in plain language,
whether he proposed to be a candidate or
not.
A vigorous effort is to be made by the
Harrison men here, based on this intimation
from Minneapolis, to shake the Secretary's
determination.
Evidences are multiplying that Secretary
Elkins, Secretary Tracy and other Harrison
chieftains have been getting in a great deal
of the finest kind of work upon Secretary
Blaine in the interest of the President, and
some of the President's friends assert that
the result of these efforts will be seen before
Sunday, in a shape which will carry dismay
to the anti-Harrison crowd. Against these
boasts the Blaine men content themselves
with pointing to the Secretary's firm an
nouncement: "I will write no more letters."
P0WDEELY SOI A CANDIDATE
For President, Vice President, or Any Office
or the Kind.
Philadelphia, June 3. Special.
Terence V. Powderly, of the Knights of
Labor, lias published a letter in which he
takes himself out of the list of aspirants for
the Presidental nomination of the new
People's party organized by the Farmers'
Alliance. While he will support that party
and vote for its nominee, hew ill not run for
any office on its ticket. He argues that he
is not the proper man to nominate for the
Presidency, and that there must be no mis
take made in the nomination at Omaha. He
says:
"I am not and will not be a candidate for
President, vice President orany other office.
I beg leave to say that I have placed my
self in the hands of my friends, and if any
one of them is indiscreet enough to mention
my name as a candidate for office of any
kind I will scratch his name from my list of
friends."
A SOMNAMBULIST'S ADVENTUBE.
TEXAN 8 BUSHING TO BLAINE.
Their
Instructions for Harrison Being
Thrown to the Winds.
Chicago, June 3. Special Trouble is
brewing in Texas for Harrison. The 30 del
egates are all Blaine men and were only
instructed for Harrison with the under
standing that Blaine would not run. Now
that Blaine is reported as in the field the
Texans are coming in for the magnetic
statesman. H. Lock McDaniel, Chairman
of the Republican State Central Committee,
and one of the leading delegates from Texas,
said to-day: "We were instructed to vote
for Harrison. This was with the be
lief and. understanding that Blaine
would not permit his name to be used. Har
rison is merely a second choice with us, and
we are all Blaine men. Our State gave
him the biggest vote ever polled there. If
Blaine is nominated I shall accept our in
structions in the broadest sense and vote
for Blaine. If he is nominated with his
consent we will all vote for him as he is
the most popular man for our State.
"There will be trouble over the Texas
delegation, as there will be contests. We
were elected by the genuine Republican
party, called the 'Black and Tan.' After
onr convention a number of delegates and
others organized what is called the 'Lily
Whites, or the' White Man's Republican
Party.' They elected delegates at large
and delegates from the Congressional dis
tricts, but I don't think that the contest
will amount to anything."
mous verdict oi approval passed upon his
administration. . The short term of four
years justifies a renomination by his party,
whenever President's administration re
ceives the country's unqualified indorse
ment. Moreover, stability of public affairs
is essential to the business interests of the
country, which always suffer from frequent
changes." -
AS THE H00SIEBS BEE IT.
They Claim That Harrison Is Constantly
Gaining New Kecmlti.
Minneapolis, June 3. R. R. Shiel, of
Indianapolis, a delegate from the Indian
apolis district and one of the Harrison
leaders, had considerable to say to-night
about the situation from his point of view.
He said: '
We are now satisfied that we have a major
ity of the National Committee and can con
tiol the temporary organization If we should
wish to do so, which we do not. There are
a number of delegates who have heretofore
been reported as against Harrison who have
come into our heaaquartors ana said they
wanted to help us. Attention has been paid
more to these, and we had not heretofore
paid any attention as to how the committee
stood. We did not consider that cut much
figure with the main question. We are here
to nominate a candidate for the Presidency,
and have nothing to say as to the selection
of Chairman or even vice President. We
are getting not only the doubtful delegates,
or those so considered, but have had a num
ber that were elected as delegates ami. sup
osed to be against Harrison come into our
leadauarters and sav thev wanted to loin

Chauncey I. Filley Thinks Blaine Will Get
Most or Her Totes.
Minneapolis, June a Chauncey L
Filley, of St. Louis, delegate at large, said
to-day that he believed his delegation
would obey its instructions and vote for
Harrison, at least en the first ballot. He
thought, however, Missouri would cast two-'
thirds of its votes for Blaine, with Harri
son out of the way, but beyond that he
made no predictions. "We are not all in
structed now," said he. "Some of our dele
gates refused to be instructed. In one dis
trict they got up on their hind legs and
howled. They told the convention if
Blaine's name was presented they would
disregard the instructions."
This, of course, was Filley talking about
another delegate. He said he should vote
for Harrison, and he thought it probable
that all the delegates would do the same.
BANKING ON BLAINE'S DEATH.

Scotland Yard have informed the American
Consulate that they cannot arrest William
Lord Moore, who, it is said, has swindled
many Americans through his claim agency,
unless some of his American victims incur
the cost of coming to London to prosecute
him.
The American Consulate has for a long

suit against J. W. Mackay and Hector De
Castro. The costs of the appeal are also
awarded to Stoke. Stokes asserted that
575,000 was due under a contract by which
Mackay had agreed to pay him 5100,000 to
secure certain telegraph property. Stokes
had received 525,000, but interest increased
the amount to 588,875.
Alger's Partner Gives Away the Secret of
a Political Boom,
'Zanesville, O., June 3. Special
"Blaine and.Alger will be the ticket nomi
nated at Minneapolis, but it will mean, in
effect, Alger for President, for Blaine will
not live." So said Hon. Clarence A.
Black, the Detroit capitalist and Itepub
lican politician, who is in this city
the guest of friends, he having arrived here
yesterday irom Washington where he dined
with President Harrison Wednesday. Mr.
Black is one of Detroit's most prominent
citizens, and is not only a personal and
close friend of General Alger, but a busi
ness associate in a number of enterprises.
He made the remark to a gentleman at a
dinner given in the Michigander's honor
la-t evening, and the gentleman thinks he
spoke before he thought, but he did not
take it back or quality it, and the person
addressed had the good taste to not refer to.
what he considered a slip ot the tongue.
Mr. Black's declaration, coupled with the
report from Minneapolis to-day that Michi
gan will not present the General's name in
the event it is made to appear that Blaine
will accept the nomination, is significant as
an indication that Alger will be held in re
serve for second place, on the theory that it
is the surest road for him to the Presidency,
as Mr. Blaine will not be spared to serve
his term.
BEE AKIN G AWAY TO BLAINE.
ONE OF THE BLAINEPBOGRAMMES
Based on the Alleged Existence of a Letter
From the Secretary to Foraker.
Chicago, June a Special Among
politicians here to-day it was said that an
other programme had been made out for the
nomination of Blaine by the reading of a
personal letter from him to Foraker, of
Ohio. Foraker is credited with now having
the letter in his possession, but is unable to
make it public without violating his agree
ment with Blaine.
When nominations are in order in Minne
apolis Foraker w ill cite his authority from
Blaine direct for nominating him for Pres
dent. Blaine's disappointment of eight
vears ago still rankles in his breast, and the
ietter cannot be used or even hinted at,
should not a number of delegates in favor of
Blaine guarantee success. He will not con
sent to a second humiliation.

The Tennessee Delegates Care Less for
Office Than They Do for the .Secretary.
Chicago, June a Special Several oi
Tennessee's delegates at Minneapolis ar
rived at the Grand Pacific early this morn
ing. They were shouting for Blaine. The
six Harrison instructed delegates, they
said, had broked loose and gone over to
Blaine, with but two exceptions. In the
party, this morning, were H. B. Lindsay,
United States District Attorney from the
second district and alternate at large from
the State; Delegate J. P. Tarwater and
Delegate J. W. Connor. All these are
Blaine men.
Lindsay, the officeholder, was the most
enthusiastic of the lot. He said the ad
ministration could have his place any time,
but he intended, he declared, to work for
J. G. Blaine. B. F. McCarthy who is also
an officeholder, being superintendent of
letter carriers at "Nashville, and who ac
companied the paiiy, declared that he was
for Blaine. ''Had the State convention
known that Blaine would have accepted,"
said McCarthy, "the delegates would have
been tied hand and foot with instructions
for him. By the time all the delegates get
to Chicago they will be for the Maine
man."

ISFSCIAl, TXLIOBAU TO THE DISPATCH.!
Homestead, June a Developments
now indicate that Homestead will be the
scene of a great conflict between capital and
labor. The Carnegie Steel Company stands
on the one side and over 4,000 workingmen
under the protection of the Amalgamated
Association on the other.
' The scale of wages which hag been in
force three years expires on June 30. In
1889, when this scale was signed, there was a
short but very lively tight, which ended1 by
Sheriff McCandless acting as mediate and
bringing representatives of the two sides
together after all negotiations had been
dropped. At that time it was the avowed
intention of the Carnegies to run the mill
non-union, but this year their tactics have
been very different.
Early in January, Manager J. A. Potter
sent for the various committees and in
formed them that the company desired no
shutdown this summer, and. in order to
avoid it desired to discuss the nex,t scale
before the Amalgamated convention met.
Wliy the Firm Harried Matters.
They desired to so arrange matters that
the plant could'rnn right along after the
usual shutdown of July 1. This desire
arose, of course, from the heavy contracts
on hand from the Government for armor
plate, besides other orders. The manage
ment said, though, this conference was only
to appiy to iour departments tne armor
plate mill, the 119-piate mill and the two
open-hearth departments.
In the other mills changes in machinery
are under way or in contemplation which
render it impossible to draw up a scale at
present which would apply, to the same de
partments in a few months.
The company's proposition was accepted
by the men, who presented a copy of the
scale which was sent to the National Con
vention of the Amalgamated Association.
The men asked for the same wages which
they have been receiving with a few ex
ceptions where they asked for an increase.
The Carnegie firm met this scale with a
scale of their own making, which demanded
wholesale reductions, which, of course,
were unfavorably received
The Men Becelve the Ultimatum.
Conference after conference was held,
with no jonclus'on. The men contended
that they could not work for less than pres
ent wages, while the management declared
that on account of improved machinery and
increased product, the price per' ton for
labor must be reduced.
Matters remained in this unsettled state
until to-day, wheu a committee from each
of the four departments above referred to
were called into the office and presented with
a printed copy of the scale, which Manager
Potter announced was the ultimatum of the
firm, and that no debate on the subject was
desired; also, that this scale must be signed
before June 24. This stopped all negotia
tions between the opposing parties, and the
Amalgamated convention will take the
matter up. One of the most skilled work
men in the mills and one of the labor leaders
of this distriot, in speaking of the ulti
matum oi the Carnegie firm, said this even
ing: The Situation From the labor Standpoint.
The proposed scale, as handed us by tho
firm. Is basad on billets at flO 50, the ?arae as
the present scale, but the minimum basis is
reduced to (23 Instead of $23 as at present.
As billets are near the $22 mark now that
means a olear reduotlon to start with of
about 17 per cent for every rnan in the great
plant who works by tonnajte. Then, In ad
dition, every Job except two or three
in each department receives a reduction,
in many cases air-ountlnir to oer 25 per
cent. This, with the reduction in the selling
price of billets, makes a ki and reduction of
over 10 cent. It would be impossible under
this scale for many of U3 to make as much as
we could at ordinary laboring waes. There
is no question in my mind that the proposed
scale will be rejected by the Amalgamated
men, and if that means a ttrlKe the
men will be found In line as they were three
years azo when the Sheritt was called in as
mediator. I am sorry, but I fear trouble
will come.
The firm is evidently preparing for a fight
with labor. The large property has been
inclosed by a ten-foot close ience along the
railroad and township road, extending
above Munhall station. This prevents any
trespass, and when the fence is completed
all gates can be securely closed. The
Amalgamated and its members are watch
ing every move. When the .strike comes,
and it seems imminent, it will be the most
bitter this section has ever seen.

The
Widow of a Veteran Who Married a
Bigamist Files Her Claim.
Springfield, III., June 3. Margaret
Eabb intends applying for a pension under
most unusual circumstances. She was the
widow of Pleasant "W. Babb, and was united
in marriage with William Moore. She
subsequently discovered that at the time
she married him he was a bigamist.
She thereupon applied to the court to
have her marriage with Moore declared
illegal and void. The court granted yes
terday the relief asked for and permitted
her to resume the name of Margaret Eabb.
As the widow of Pleasant W. Babb, the
soldier, she will ask the Government for a
pension.

Difference of Opinion In Minnesota.
MnfNEAPOLls, June 3. Opinions vary
in nearly all of the uninstructed delegations,
although perhaps not so much anywhere
else as with the Minnesota delegates.
George Thompson, of St. Paul, a delegate,
believes that Blaine has nine of the delega
tion, Harrison three, and two are anti-Harrison,
while the other four are doubtful.
"William Henry Eustis, a Minneapolis dele
gate a'ria an original Blaine man, believes
the delegation has 16 Blaine men and two
for Harrison, those latter being the in
structed delegates from the First district.
An Illinois Office Holder for Harrison.
Minneapolis, June a Miles Kehoe,
an Illinois delegate at large, is for Har
rison, and believes that at least 44 of the
48 delegates irom his State will be with him
supporting the President, and possibly
some of the others. He says he likes Blaine,
but ieels it would be dishonorable ior
Blaine to accept. "Then," he added,
"Harrison has made a President to bead
mired, and deserves to be re-eleeted."
Kehoe is an office holder under the administration.

Kentucky for the President.
Minneapolis, June a Colonel "W. O.
Bradley of Kentucky, National Committee
man, and a delegate at large, says:
Kentukyis for Harrison. We are great
admirers of Mr. Blaine, but we are for Mr.
Harrison, whether Mr. Blaine runs or not.
We have 26 delegates, and every district
convention except two instructed for Har
rison. Blaine may get those two districts,
but I don't think he can possibly get any
more.
