mi mS&icm &sp 'TT- THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SATURDAY, JUNE 25. 1892. AGREEMENT IS AT, The Iron and Steel Men and "War e Workers Hold a Futile Conference. CONCESSIONS AEE NEEJED If Any Settlement Is Expected to Be Agreed Upon by Them. 'No Trouble Anticipated in Securing a . Satisfactory Agreement With the "Wire Rod Manufacturers Presi dent Weihe Positively Refuses to Reconsider His Determination to Re sign the Presidency of the Amalgam ated Association, Which He Has Held for Nino Tears The Convention Will Not Be Able to Wind Up Its Work Until the Middle of the Coming Week. The present aspect of the iron and steel labor situation is becoming serious. The Homestead scale conference oa Thursday was fruitless. Neither side was inclined to grant such concessions as would make a settlement possible, and to add to the un pleasant outlook, when the clock struck 12 lat night, the time set by the Carnegie Steel Company for their Homestead work men to sign Manager Potter's new scale had expired. This fact, coupled with the warlike preparations which are being made by the Carnegie Steel Company, has made the workmen leel very uneasy. There was another disagreement yester day afternoon at the conference in the Fer guson block between the "Wage Committee of the Amalgamated Association and the Pittsburg manufacturers, and the second meeting ended in exactly the same way as the first. The session convened at 2:30 o'clock and adjourned four hours and ten minutes later. Insist Cpon S4 30 Tor Boiling. The time was principally taken up in going over the scale and discussing the chances suggested by the manufacturer at the last meeting. All the pressure pos sible was brought upon the iron and steel masters to make concessions, but they did not change from their original position of demanding a rate of 81 50 a ton for boiling and heavy reductions in the other depart ments. "When President "Weihe walked from the conference chamber in the evening his face bore a careworn look. He acknowledged that all his tfforts with the manufacturers had been in vain, the situation remained the tame as before, and the differences be tween the manufacturers and Association remain as before the last conference between the two bodies had been held. It is now said that in order to avoid trouble the workmen w ill make any con cessions that are just and reasonable, but Ihoe most directly concerned state that they will not sacrifice one iota of what they consider to be their just right If the manufacturers, including the Carnegie Steel Company, take the same stand, it is claimed that a settlement of all difficulties can yet be effected before July 1, when the present scale expires. "o Trouble Witti TTIre Itod Men. The Conference Committee of the Amal gamated Association w as more successful in Its interview with the wire rod manu facturers yesterday morning. The manu facturers seemed more anxious to secure a rearrangement of certain features in the old scale than to demand any serious reductions. One of the changes asked was that the three turn men work the full eight hours regard less of the output No difficulty in the settlement of this scale is apprehended. Should these fair prospects be realized, two scales will thus be practically arranged. The other scale is the stell sheet mill s-chedule, in which the wages of the shear man now remains about the only obstacle to a complete understanding? Tin- Work of the Convention. Tirst Vice President Carney, of the First district, acted as President in the conven tion at Torbes street Turner Hall yesterday. The morning session was given "up to the reading of the report of the Committee on Constitution. The afternoon session was also devoted to committee work. The Com mittee on Claims, Auditing and Officers completed their reports, while the Com mittees on Appeals and "Wavs and Means are still at work. The last mentioned body has advocated the continuance in office of Orjranizer John Gallagher. He represents the Association in the East, and was in structed by the committee to continue to hold up at any cost organized labor as far as iron and steel weie concerned. It was aunounaed that the Scottdale Iron "Works was expected to sign the "Western scale for lb92-3 last night or this morning. HEW FLIKT GLASS FACTOEY.

Furnace Men Have an Option on a Tract or Coal I-nnct. Some furnace men, despairing of their ability to force the price of coke down again, have decided to go into business for themselves. Already they have secured an option on C30 acres of coal land owned by Pressley H. Moore in Uniontown. The ground adjoins the William Shaw and Phillips tracts. The terms of the op ium me jpuiaic, um ii is said mat it is tor 30 days only and that the price named is 600 per acre. The svndicate is composed of iron men from Pittsburg, Sharon and Youngstown. A plant of ovens will be lo cated just beyond the Oliver uorks. A New Tin l'late Tactory. A tin plate factory for Montgomery county is among the early probabilities. Work iias been commenced on a plant at Ernest station, near the new Norristown Steel Works, under the supervision of Ki ch ard Lewis, manager of the great tin manu facturing plant of. W. H. Edwards, at Mor- ARR VED ristown, in the Swansea Valley, Wales. The machinery ba already arrived, and a portion of the mill is to be in operation within the next six weeks.. It will be capa ble ot turning out from 600 to 700 boxes of tin plates weekly. WEIHE REFUSES RE-ELECTION. He Win Retire From the Presidency ottbe Amalgamated and Encase In Business Tlio Convention Will Select His Suc cessor at To-Day' Session. Looking over the schedule of work yet to be transacted by the delegates to the Amal gamated Association Convention it is shown that the most important business on the programme for to-day is the election of officers for tfce ensuing year. Nominations are in order after the reading of theminntes at the morning session, and some important changes have already been announced. President Weihe is positively not a candi date for re-election and he will not accept another term should it be thrust upon him. Ever since President Weihe sent in his resignation several days ago a strong press ure has been brought to bear upon Turn to reconsider his action. In addition to this it was reported that a petition was being cir culated among the delegates, which every one was expected to sign, requesting that he would remain at the head of the Amal gamated Association for at least another year, but President Weihe said last even ing: "I am not a candidate and my name will not go before the convention to-morrow." M. Weihe has held the office for nine consecutive years, having succeeded John Jarrettin 1883 at the Philadelphia convention. Previous to that time Mr. Weihe was a trustee of the Association. His trade is that of a puddler. Mr. Weihe is in comfor table circumstances financially and it is his intention to engage in business. W. .A. Camey.Fjrst Vice President and Ml M. Gar land, the Assistant President, are promi nently mentioned as Mr. Weibe's successor. A change is also likely in the office of sec retary at present held by Stephen Mad den, who has been -in this office for three vears. He was assistant secretary from 1885 to 18S0. It was the general opinion of fife dele gates during the early part of the week that the convention would have so far completed its labors as to adjourn this evening, but al though the men have been hard at work and business has been dispatched with rapidity, the body cannot possibly com plete its labors for two or three days. The time announced for final adjournment is Wednesday, June 30. CANADA NOT AFRAID. The Proposed Retaliatory Measure Not looked Upon Seriously by Onr Cousins Over the Border They Believe the Matters In Dispute Will Be Settled. Ottawa, June 24. Special Members of the Cabinet with whom The Dispatch reporter talked to-day are in no way alarmed at the measure of retaliation upon Canada offered in the United States Senate by Senator Davis. as they firmly believe that the proposal they have sub mitted to the Washington Government for a settlement of the question of discrimina tion in canal tolls will remove all cause for any retaliatory legislation on the part of the United States. Sir John Thompson said to-night that he had no knowledge of President Harrison's having received Canada's proposal before he sent his message to the Senate this week suggesting retaliation. The Canadian offer, which was transmitted through the British Government, might have reached the British Legation at Wash incton prior to the date of the President's message, but Sir John thought it possible that the Secretary of the Legation might have delayed communicating it to President Harrison, pending further instructions from Lord Salisbury. The question of retaliation having been raised, there is considerable talk in the lob bies of Parliament here as- to how Canada, in the event of ber vessels being de prived of the right of lree passage through St Mary's Falls Canal, could retaliate upon the United States. Natu rally, the exclusion of United States vessels from the Welland canal is the first measure spoken of, and the injury such a step would inflict upon American shipping may be estimated from the fact that out of a total tonnage of 1,122,000 tons that passed through the Welland canal in 1890, 500,000 tons or 45 per cent was American register. The offer just submitted to the Washing ton Government by the Dominion, it is learned, is, with some slight modifications, based upon the conclns ions arrived at dur ing the recent conference with the United States Executive. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Ban Sweeney Tries to Shnffli While Suffer ing From Dellrlnm Tremens. Daniel Sweeney, of Fourteenth street, while suffering from delirium tremens on Thursday evening attempted suicide by jumping into the Allegheny river at the loot of Sixteenth street A crowd of work men from Zug's mill followed and rescued him. He was with difficulty restrained from making a second attempt, and was kept in the Twelfth ward station overnight He went home in the morning. Sweeney was recentlv released from the workhouse and has been on a spree for several days, a frequent indulgence with him. Three years ago he was arrested for attempting to kill a police officer with a sharp piece of iron two feet long. The officers beat him over the head with their maces so that he was laid un in the hospital for three months and has been subject to delirium tremens when drinking ever since.

He sails next Wednesday. The rooms at the clubhouse were taste fully decorated, and a pretty lunch was spread. A number of witty speeches were made, principal among which was a poem by John M.

ALL ADMIT A LIBERAL MAJORITY. Mrs. Stanlej Proves a Bettor Stump Speaker Than Her Husband. TIM HCAIiY IN DINGER OP HIS LIFE ICOFTRtOnT, 1391 BT If. T. ASSOCIATED PMSB.3 London, June 24. Mr. Gladstone's home rule scheme, which the Conservatives are accustomed to assert is still in embryo, has been actually communicated in detail to Lord Rosebery, John Morley, Sir William Vernon Harcourt and other Liberals. Some of its more critical points have been dis cussed with the Irish leaders, with the assnrance that if the election places Mr. Gladstone in power the bill will be pre sented at the autumn session of Parliament Concerning the production and the pass age of the home rule measure, Mr. Glad stone is more than ever an old man in a hurry. He knows that he must uuder any circumstances face another election before he attains the final trinmph of his life in the completion of Irish legislation. If he passes the bill in the Honse of Commons next year, it is certain to" be rejected by the House of Lords. This would involve a fresh appeal to the country. A New Rlrctlon at Any Kate. Even if the Peers were at one submissive to the will of the people and allowed the measure to become a law, the alteration of the representation in the Imperial Parliament consequent thereon would require another general election, while the initiation of the new Irish administration would draw heavily upon Mr. Gladstone's energies. For these reasons he is eager that there should be no delay in passing the home rule bill. He will partly, lift the veil from his plan in the addresses he will make in Mid lothian. The representative of the Associated Press has learned that the leading features of the measure of 1886 will be retained, with the following exceptions: Clause 4, restrict ing the powers of the Irish Legislature, is enlarged by further defining the limitation of the powers of the Legislature to interfere with the endowment ot religion, or to im pose disability, or confer privilege on ac count of religious belief. Further guaran tees relating to denominational education are provided. Next, the constitution 'of the legislative body will be modified by raising the number of members of the first order in the Upper House, who, as in the first bill, shall hold office for ten years. Imperial Representation Is Preserved. 1 The much-disputed clause 24, removing the Irish Peers from the House ot Lords and the Irish members from the House of Com mons, disappears in the new bill, the repre sentation of Ireland in the Imperial Parlia ment remaining the same as at present to meet the threatened active refusal or passive resistance of the Ulsterites to the Irish Par liament by the non-payment of taxes. Sub section 4 of clause 9 of the bill of 1886 is to be extended so as to insure the employment of the police and military forces to enforce the payment ot all taxes leviable by the Irish Parliament Another alteration relates to disputes arising between the Irish Legislature and theilmperial Government Lord Koseberv recently made reference to some tribunal dealing with these differences. This was wrongly interpreted by the Irish members to mean the creation of a body like the Supreme Court ot the United States. Lord Koeberv really referred to the retention of clause 25 of the old bill, providing that the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council should decide constitutional questions relating to the powers of the Irish Legislature. Mr. Gladstone is under stood as proposing to appoint a fixed number of Irish judges to sit with the Judicial Committee when Irish ques tions are discussed. Apart from the modifi cations, the measure of 1886 remains intact All Sides Figurine a Liberal Majority. A comparison of the forecasts of the re sult of the elections shows that the official estimate of the Liberal managers is a major ity of 147 for Mr. Gladstone, including the Irish members. The Liberal Unionists estimate that they will have a majority of 40, including the Irish, thus placing the Liberals in absolute dependence on the Irish vote. Official Conservative figures give the Unionists a working majority of 30. The PdU Mall Gazette' calculation, whioh is based on an analysis of the bye-elections since 1886, results in a majority for Mr. Gladstone of 94, only 14 over "the Irish vote. Balancing the reports from the vari ous sides, an impartial forecast is that Mr. Gladstone will obtain no majority that will enable him to act independently of the Irish party. Among the incidents of the week is a re markable letter Prof. Tyndall sent to the Dublin Ulsterlite Convention. . The letter says he occupies no post, receives no wages. enjoys no pension. Money in driblets comes to him occasionally from a precarious source. Recently his publishers sent 103 to him in payment for two books. Of this money he gives 100 to the Ulster move ment and retains 3 for himself. Morley as Gladstone's Evil Gonitis. The Professor denounces the evil genins of Gladstone and blames theN "arch-doctrinaire Morley for first planting the mi crobe of repeal in the brain of his venerable friend." Morley, the Professor adds, was once a man of elevated mind; now he is de graded to the level of a professional politi cian. Prof. Tyndall predicts that the first loy alist blood shed in Ulster for the sake of Archbishop Walsh and Timothy Healy will arouse a feeling that will sweep Glad stone's Irish policy to perdition. The total number of candidates who will stand in the elections is 1,560. Nearly all the 670 seats in the House will be contested. A. few Catholic candidates will stand in England. There will be only ten Hebrew candidates, of which number four are Lib erals, four Conservatives and two Liberal Unionists. , Henrv M. Stanley, who is to contest Lambath in the Unionist interest, made his first stump speech to the electors to-day. He proved a lame and awkward speaker, and signally failed in making ready re sponses to the "heckling" of his audience. He retired to allow his wife an opportunity to speak. She at once won the audience. She declared that her hnsband was the fin est man in England, and said he was as straight as a die, idding: "He says what he means without fear or favor." This eulogium won Mrs. Stanley's hearers, who yelled: "We will vote for Stanley's missus." Tim Healy's Life In Banger. Timothy Healy finds it dangerous to openly appear on the streets of Dublin. He was recognized there Tuesday and was set upon by a mob who maltreated him. He was compelled to take refuge in a house under a guard of police; Again to-day, as he was leaving a Federation meeting, a crowd tried to stop him. Some of the crowd saluted him with cried of "Dirtv Tim." Stones and handfuls of mud were thrown at him. He jumped upon a passing car, which rushed through the mob. knocking down and killing one of the men. The crowd pursued the car and a bag of flour was thrown over Healy. When he reached the office of the Freeman' Journal and Na tional Prcst he jumped from the car, and as he did so a man hit him a severe blow on the Jaw with a stick. He was also struck in the face by a stone. The police seized one of his assilants, who was to-day sen tenced to 14 day' imprisonment Mr Barbour, member of the India Coun cil, with Sir C. W. Fremantle, Chief ot the Mint Department, will probably be' the British delegates to the International Mon etary Conference. Mr. Barbour is a promi nent bi-metallisL He acted at the Paris conference, and signed with Lord Lans downe, Sir Henry Braokenbury and other memben of the Viceroy's Council the re cent minute to the Secretary of State for India, urging the Government to lend the United States conference proposals its strongest support ' The India Mlnnte on Sliver. The minnte, which has just been issued by the Foreign Office, says that the violent oscillations since 1890 and the rapid decline in theprice of silver cause the mercantile community the gravest anxiety. If an in ternational agreement is not attained the United States Government will sooner or later be driven to adopt a silver standard or abandon the purchase of silver. The cessa tion of the United States to purchase silver cannot fail to further depress the price of the metal. The British Government ought to consider the measures calculated to pro tect India and to remedy the violent fluctu ations in the relative value of gold and silver. The answer of Viscount Cross, Secretary of State for India, announces that Engtand will take part in the International Confer ence, and adds that the conference will as semble and consider by what means the use of silver can be increased in the currency systems of the nations. The Parliamentary Committee of the Trades Unions Council yesterday passed a resolution declaring that the Council trusted that the Inter national Conference would result inva stable exchange being secured between gold and silver using countries. GLADSTONE ON IRELAND. An Eloquent Flea for a Separate Parlia ment Made In th- Grand Old "Man's Electoral Address The United Kingdom Needs Home Rule for Erin. London", June 24. Mr. Gladstone's elec tion address is in part as follows: Great Britain will now decide whether threo countries shall henceforth constitute in reality, as well as in statute name, the United Kingdom. Ireland was never so loyal to the Crown or united in heart as In the years following 1782, when she enjoyed. local government, until the concord was disturbed in 1795 by wicked machinations. For a generation, aster the union, Ireland slept a deadly sleep of physical misery and political servitude. The reform of 1829-32 gave her consciousness and a voice. From then her heavy grievances in battling for her aspirations hare constituted a great standing burden in Parliament and the chief Impediment to the fulfillment of its duties. The proposal for whioh the Liberals have for the last six years contended will set Ireland free to manage her domestic affairs by a local legislature In close sympatb v with Irish lire, and will set Parliament free to ovei take vast arreai s of business and supply the legislative wants of England and Wales. The constant growth of sound opinion, testified to by the result of a multitude of bye-elections, has, shown that the British people now thoroughly comprehend how irresistible are the claims of Ireland In honor and justice, and how a settlement will open a direct road to the satisfaction of Bi ltish interests long held in suspense. The government of Irelanu by the past Parliament has utterly failed in every re spect, except that ot enabling the Irish agriculturist to impi ove his condition by tho act of 1887. The main provisions which the Ministry denounced in 1886 us immoral and dishonorable, and thereby diove the people to the plan ot campaign, became the true author of whatever dangers and hardships were thus produced. Ireland, indignant at the broken pledges of tho Tory dissident coalition, is more than over hostile to tho methods of government of Dublin Castle, bnt calm and peaceful In reliance on the electors of Great Britain. SALF0TJS ANSWEES GLADSTONE. A Separate Parliament for Ireland Would Be TJnjnst to the Empire. London, June 24. Mr. Balfour, in his election address, said: Every year's experience has fully Justified uncompromising opposition to the abortive home rule measure of 1830. The separatists' subsequent ambiguous modification of the measure makes the proposals more unjust and dangerous. Ah' Irish Parliament con trolling the Irish Executive cannot be con trolled by the Imperial Parliament. The promised supremacy of the Imperial Par liaments so far as the loyalists are con cerned, is only a sham. A system allowing a Parliament in Dublin to manage Irish aflfcirs. while Iiish representatives interfere with English and Scotch business, would produce intolerable consequences in both countries. Such a condition of things would he greatly unfair to the British nnd cruel and aggressive to the minority In Ireland. The criminality of the methods whereby the politicians who would determine tho destinies of Ii eland have sought to attain their objeots has been proven before tri bunals. The policy of the Gladstonlans would give these men control of a helpless minority whose only crimes are their re ligion and loyalty, and would begin ana not end serious trouble. PARNELLITES HANDICAPPED. Mrs. Farnell Says They Have No Money and Gladstone Has Hart Them. New Yoke, June 24. Special. Mrs. Delia Stewart Parnell, mother of the late Charles Stewart Parnell, was a passenger on the steamship Germanic, of the White Star line, which arrived here from Liverpool this morning. She was accompanied by her granddaughter, Miss Dickinson. Mrs. Par nell went abroad shortly after her son's death last fall to assist bis widow in settling up his estate." She is staying with Mr. William Xnoud and his wife at 770 Amster dam avenue. In an interview to-day she said: "I think the Irish people are beginning to believe in the principles of my son Charles. The people were nearly crazed with sorrow at his death. They are very angry at the priests, and the most intelli gent will have nothing to do with them. The Parnellites will go into this election sorely handicapped by lack of money, so they may not win at once. Gladstone struok a blow at the independence of Ire land when he passed the household suffrage bill of 1885. It gave the ballot to the igno rant Time will be required to reoover from it." Mrs. Parnell said in regard to her son's death that some of the Irish people thought he had been poisoned. FUNDS FOB THE CAMPAIGN. The Irish Federation or America Espouses the MoCartbylte Canse. NEW York, June 24. The National Federation ot America has sent out the following appeal: v To the Friends of Home Rule for Ireland : The dissolution of tho British Parliament is announced, and the general election Is to be held Immediately.

French Hebrews Furious Oyer .Death.of Their Champion. the DE M0EES, HIS SLATER, ARRESTED The Controversy Eecounted Which Culmi- nated in the Duel. WILD WESTEEN LIFE OP THE HARQU1S Paris, June 24. The Marquis de Mores has been arrested on the charge of causing the death of Captain Mayer, with whom he fought a duel yesterday. The funeral of the unfortunate duellist has been fixed for Sunday next It promises to be an impos ing affair. The death of Captain Mayer at the hands of the Marquis de Mores in defense of the rights of the Hebrews in Prance and as a result of the anti-Semitic warfare which is being waged in this country, has created great excitement among the Hebrews here, and has aroused them to a high pitch of indignation at the untimely taking off ot their champion. It is feared that the Hebrew residents of the city and su burbs will engage in demonstrations on the occasion of the funeral of. Captain Mayer. The authorities apprehend trouble in the event of the Hebrews making any mani festations, and are accordingly taking all necessary precautions to prevent any con. flicts. In the Chamber of Deputies to-morrow Mr. Dreyfus will question M. DeFreycinet, Minister of "War, as to what steps the Gov ernment has proposed to take to secure lib erty of conscience in France, and to protect officers of the army from insult Religions Strife Is Deprecated. The newspapers, in their editorial com ments in reference to the duel, almost unanimously regret the death of Captain Mayer. They censure the polemic which led to the tragic event, and say they trust that the emotions excited by the fatal out come of the duel'may arrest the attempts which are being made to revive religious quarrels in this country. The whole Hebrew colony of Paris have sent messages of profound condolence to the family of Captain Mayer, and have ex pressed to the bereaved relatives their appreciation of the virtues of the dead man and their deep sorrow at the loss of their valiant co-religionist It is reported that the Hebrew officers in the French'army intend to avenge the death of Captain Mayer, and that a series of duels arising from the affair is imminent. The Marquis De Mores gave a strong expression to his grief when he learned of the death of his antagonist The duel grew out of the anti-Semite cam paign that has been carried on in the Libre Parole, the Anarchist paper, of which Ed. ouard Drumont is the editor. M. Drumont, the well-known anti-Semite, who recently accused Deputy Burdeau of accepting a bribe from Baron Rothschild, the Deputy being at the time engaged in drafting a bill relating to the Bank ot France, was promptly prose cuted, by M. Burdeau, and, being found guilty on June 15, was sentenced to three months' imprisonment and to pay a fine of 1,000 .francs. Scenes at a Disorderly TrlaL Ths Marquis is a great friend of M. Dru mont, and in the trial appeared as a witness in his favor. There were several noisy scenes while the trial of M. Drumont was in progress, and once it be came necessary to clear the court M. Drumont who defended himself, called upon the jury to shout with him, "Down wjtb the German Hebrews! France for the Frenchl" "When he left the court he received an enthusiastic but dis orderly greeting from his friends, who shouted, "Long live Drumontt Down with the Hebrews!" Several were arrested. The Boulangist Deputy Laguerro chal lenged the Marquis de Mores to fight a duel, the latter in giving evidence at the Drumont trial having accused the former of accepting a bribe from the Bank of France. It appears, however, that Captain Mayer had the previous call. "When De Mores stepped of the train at .Comba, the town that bad been started at the crossing, his welcome was not a cordial one. The cowboys had the idea that he had come to drive them all oS their ranches. The hunters said he was going to buy up their buffalo grounds. It was not long before words came to shots. Three cowboys undertook to drive the Marquis ?ff a ranch he had bought just across the river, but De Mores was brought up in the French array and fresh from active service in Algiers. The cowboys drove him to his hut, but their shots missed and his hit One man, Reilly, was killed and two otherswere badly wonnded. The Marquis b fair field thereafter. The Marquis is well known in the United States. Some years ago he became famous as a ranchman 'out West, and at the very beginning the handsome athletic stranger showed the cowboys that he was not the kind of a man to be bulldozed. On one of his ranches he had built an abattoir and founded the town of Medora at the North em Pacific crossing of theLittle Missouri. GEKMANT'S TJBI0W WELL-TIMED Is- the Opinion of Prince Bismarck Ex pressed at a Munich Luncheon. Munich, June 24. Prince and Princess Bismarck were entertained at a luncheon' this afternoon by Count Holnstein. In re plying to the Burgomaster's address of wel come, Prince Bismarck said that the friendly welcome which he had received showed him that the people of Munich ap preciated his labors. Even If some of his friends had not fully recognized his efforts, he was greatly gratified that all were aware that unity had been attained. He considered it most fortunate that the union of Germany had not been completed after the events of 1866, as there would then have been less prospect of a lasting union. Germany would henceforth not be affected by a change in times or circumstances. Bismarck liaises a Sensation. Berlin, June 24. The interview with Prince Bismarck,published in the Neuc Hreie Presst, of Vienna, has caused a sensation in Berlin. A feeling of depression prevailed on the Boerse to-day in consequence of the interview. The newspapers comment bit terly upon Prince Bismarck's course in al lowing vexation to loner his dignity. The Boersen Courier says that nobody has been more severe than Prince Bismarck himself against diplomats who privately discuss political questions or use officially gained knowledge.

The story of a man ruined by the gamblers at Gloucester, and who, to cover his losses, robbed his business partner and finally fled, is disclosed by a circular letter issued by Frank J! Hamell, senior member of the old firm of Hamell & Stubbs, ship chandlers. The circular, which was issued to the patrons of the firm, is as follows: I regret to announce to customers and others doing business with Hamell & Stubbs that circumstances have necessitated the dissolution of the firm. I propose to con tinue In business under the name of F. JE. Hamell & Co. All debts due the firm of Hamell & Stubbs are payable to the under signed, to whom, also, ull claims should be presented. The announcement of the dissolution of the partnership, together-with the peculiar wording ot the circular letter, caused con siderable surprise to local trade circles. The firm has been favorably known for many years, was considered responsible, and it was generally believed that the relations between the partners were most pleasant, consequently the ''circumstances which caused the dissolution were not understood. Mr. Hamell said to-day: My partner has been robbing me. I can not tell how long, ur the amount stolen. The aggregate will be large, I think. Stubbs had charge of our books, and consequently had the field to himself, and I probably would not have known anything about the matter but for his sudden disappearance on May 28, last, slnoe which time I have neither sen nor heard of him. His wife also asserts that she knows nothing or his whereabouts. His going away necessitated the employment of a bookkeeper, and then it was that we dis covered that he was an embezzler. I then employed experts, 'and they are now at work on the accounts. I suppose they will have to go over them for tho past 17 years, the period which Stubbs and I were part ners. I never dreamed that I was being robbed by the man whom Iso",thoroughly trusted. I suppose his visits to. Gloucester resulted unfortunately for him, and, like many other similar cases, they made an em. bezzler of him. Mr. Hamell will have his old partner ar rested if he can ba, located, ana the case against him pressed. DISSTON WOH't BE CHAIRMAN. He Wouldn't Accept the Place if It Were Offered to Him. Washington, June 24. Special Hamilton Disston, District Attorney Graham and Charles Emory Smith came to the city to-day. Mr. Smith called on Presi dent Harrison and they had an extended conversation. It was rumored that Messrs. Disston and Graham came here upon invita tion from the President Both gentlemen denied this statement and said that while they would probably call on President Harrison to-morrow there was no political significance in the visit Mr. Disston said he was here for the purely personal purpose of seeing about the Congressional party that is to accompany him to Florida with a view to engaging in the sugar growing business on the land reclaimed by him. The bounty paid by the Government (2 cents a pound tor all sugar grown in the United States) makes sngar-growing on the rich South Florida drained land extremely profitable. Mr. Busk cannot accompany the party, and General Hatch, of Missouri, another inter ested person, is out of the city. Mr. Disston has been mentioned as the possible Chairman ot the Republican Na tional Committee. He would be acceptable to the administration. When asked it he would accept the position in case it were offered him, he said: "It's quite out of the question. It has not been offered me, but it it were I have too much else to do to make it possible for me to accept" TEE OWENS BILL PBEFEBBES By the Turners, Instead of the Qnny-Stone Immigration Measure.

There Are Just 62,823,350 of Them Ac cording to Mr. Porter's Census Males Increasing Fnster Than Females Whites Faster Than Colored People Foreign .Elements. Washington, June 24. The Census Office to-day issued a bulletin on the popu lation of the United States by color, sex and general nativity. It shows that the population, as a whole, has increased during the decade from 1880 to 1890, 12,466,467, or 24.80 per cent, the total population in 1890 being 62,622,250, as against a total popula tion In 1880 of 50,155,783. The .males have increased from 25,518,820 in 1880 to 32,067, 880 in 1890, the numerical increase being 6,549,060, or 25.66 per cent. The whole number of females returned in 1880 was 24,636,963, whils in 1890 there were 30,554, 370. The females have increased, therefore, 6,917,407, or 24.02 per cent since 1880. Considering the population classified as regards native and "foreign born, we find that 53,372,703 are native born and 9,249.547 are foreign born. In 1880 there were 43, 475,840 native born and 6,679,943 foreign born. The increase in native born during the decade was 9,896,863, or 22.76 per cent, as against an increase for the decade ending with 1880 of 10,484,698, or 31.78 per cent The increase in foreign born during the dec ade from 1880 to 1890 was 3,869,604, or 38.47 per cent, the increase for the decade ending with 1880 being 1,112,714, or 19.99 per cent. 'According to the census of 1890 there are in the United States 54,983,890 white persons and 7,638,360 colored person, mean ing by 'colored" persons of African de scent, Chinese, Japanese and civilized In dians. There has been an increase in the white population from 1880 to 1890 of 11, 580,920, or 2G.68 per cent, and an increase in the colored for the same decade of 885, 547, or 13.11 per-cent For the decade from 1870 to 1880, the white increased 29.22 per cent and the colored, apparently, 35.90 per cent As has already been explained In pre vious bulletins, however, the increase from 1870 to 1880 was, to a certain extent, ficti tious, particularly as regards the colored population of the Sonth.
