NO OUTBREAES TO DISTURB THE MILITIA CAMP ROUTINE. Workmen Make a Statement as to Wages Earned—Waliters Strike Against Serv- ing Gen. Snowden ata Olub-House— Carnegie Hanged in Etfigy at Little Rock—Progress of the Industrial Battle. HOMESTEAD, Pa., July 16.—There was noth- ing in the situation to alarm the people of Homestead when they awoke this morning. Matters had assumed a very quiet phase and rumors of a startling nature were absent. So farascan be ascertained the few non union workmen in the mill were not re- inforced by others during the night. “Trains are closely inspected by the strikers and the river front js watched for the appearance of new men, but so far the watchers have failed to discoverany. There appears to be noth- ing hostile in the disposition of the workers who watch the river and the trains. There has been little talk concerning prose- cution of the leaders of the strike for the dis- orders that have ensued. but these same leaders have taken time by the forelock and made every preparation inthe event of ar- rest. Bail sufficient in amount to cover any charge that can be brought against them has been secured by each ofthe leaders and coun- sel have also been retained. An occasional rumor that Hugh O’ Donnell and others would be placed under™arrest by Sheriff McCleary creates some excitement inthe town, but the men most interested seem unconcerned and judging from outward appearances don’t place much credence in the reports. The charge that would probably be brought arainst them is conspiracy. Some of tnose who are losing heart think that the killing of the Pinkerton men may form the basis of an indictment for murder, but generally the people piace little reliance in this sugges- tion. STRUCK AGAINST SNOWDEN. Negro waiters have taken the places of the waitresses at the Carnegie Club-house, or Frick Hotel, who struck yesterday because of the presence of Gen. Snowden and his officers there. It has been learned that the local waitresses were also induced to take their action by the presence of so many un-unil- formed strangers at the house. They thought some of these might be non-union men, and to be on the safe 3ide of popular opinion in Homestead,they refused to serve at the hotel during the prevalence of the rumors that non-union men were in town. It can be stated as a fact based on personal inspection that Gen. Snowden and his officers are not starving as a result of the strike at the hotel. Homestead was visited by another heavy thunder storm last night, in which the light- ning struck in several places, but no damage was reported and little ral fell. The front of the mill and river bank was last night guarded by soldiers, so that it is really im- possible to enter the works from any side without being challenged by guards. The town is also thoroughly policed by the mil- itia and squads are on every corner. AS @ result not the slightest disorder exists and the borough constables are practically super- numeraries. Mr. Frick in his testimony before the Con. gressional Committee stated that 926 were employed in open bearth department No. 2, and about 100 were affected by the reduction offered. The following reply has been prepared by the locked-out men of that department: FRICK ANSWERED. ‘¢There are 112 tonnage men affected by the proposed reduction, They produce on a dally average of twenty-four hours 336 tons of steel ingots. In Shoenberger’s open hearth department, at the same number of furnaces as in No. 2, 168tonnage men are required to produce 192 tons of steelingots. At one par- ticular position in the two mills the Home- stead man would receive $14.15 per ton; in Shoenberger’s he would receive $18. in Homestead if any accide nt occurs to the heat of the steel the men get no pay for it, while in Shoenberger’s they would be paid by the day, be the steel good or bad.’’ This morning early the plant was perfectly guiet and so wasthe town. It was the first pay day themen have missed, and it is cu- rious to note its effect upon the day laborers. Many instinctively started early toward the office to get in line, for it is no easy matter to pay off 8,200 men and several hundred boys and those who come first are first served. The men remembered and turned back. The story that 180 families are starving here has no foundation. The fact isas yet every one has plenty in Homestead, A number of gro- cery anddry goods stores were visited last evening, and at allof them it was stated that the wives and children who shop for the locked-out men are paying cash and have not begun tousecredit. Asaresultof idleness more money is spent than when the mill was working, and between strikers and militia the storekeeper ‘‘groweth wonderful in the sleekness of prosperity.’’ There was a rumor current in Pittsburg last night that fourteen militia men had been poisoned at Homestead. Dispatches from there say that the story cannot be traced to any authentic source. Here and there cases of prostration by the heat and from the effects of a change in water and diet have oc- curred, but in general the health of the camp has been good. Eachcompany has its own mess and had any particulararticie of food in the mess been poisoned, the chances are at least one whole company would have felt the effects.. Hawkers have been selling ples, cakes and lemonade in the camp and hun- dreds of soldiers and others have purchased these things. FEW MEN AT WORK, The statement was made this ing that not less that men were working milis. Representative of the p succeeded in getting within the inclosure. othi to prevent a tour epartment of h a BS ap can work to-day. Some of these belon ganas an re “nn of a Fp MO pe ppmone boring men, the sing no w ba besn ione. inthe armor) plate "mill SCOr ; than has be oo | containing provisions, are stacked in the pressing milland in the office building above the railroad trestles, one of the men said they had provisions sufficient to feed several hundred men for a month already on hand. He said: ‘‘Weare being well fed and having an easy time of it.’’ **It willbe many weeks before the com- pany gets everything going nicely. .No, there are not over twenty or twenty-five men in the entire mill now, but I understand more are ex ted soon.’’ At this juncture one of the dudish looking bosses approached and the interview came toa suddenend, This is the first time that newspaper men have suc- ed in getting into the works and the sus- picions of the little handful of non-unionists were aroused. NOTICES SENT TO WORKMEN. Apropos of the notices sent to workmen of the mechanical departments of the Carnegie works, offering them their old positions, Hugh O’Donnell to-day pointed out to a press reporter, as an instance of the deter- mination of the Homestead men in fighting their battles, the fact that during the strike of 1889, similar notices, not quite so conciliatory in character, were sent to the workmen here, and that nearly all of them were either destroyed or turned over to the leaders. Accompanying these notices were copies of an agreement, which each man was requested to sign, making concessions to the strik- ing workmen, but not conceding all that they asked. Mr. O’Donnell showed the reporter a great bundle of these papers which had been turned over to the leaders by the menreceivingthem. He insists that the sees sent out to-day will meeta similar ate. LITTLE CHANGE TO-DAY. The situation at the Twenty-ninth and Thirty-third street mills of the Carnegie Steel Co. remains practically unchanged. The strikers will hold a meeting at 2 o’clock this afternoon at which they will perfect their organization for carrying on the fight by appointing several committees. It is said that all of to-day representatives of the firm have been c'rculet- ing among the strikers trying to get them to return to work on Monday. They succeeded in getting quite a nnmber ofthe mento con- sent, but when it was explained the strikers that it would be demanded of them that they forsake the Amalgamated Asssociation, the men rebelled and the result is that the strikers are eatly strengthened in their resolve to fight the company. The men are being pald off at the Thirty-third street mill. On Monday all that refuse to go to work at the Twenty-ninth street mill will be paid offand discharged, About 690 men, laborers, are working in the Twenty- ninth and ‘Thirty-third street mills, but their work will bse at an end in a day or two. The big fence about the Thirty-third street works is complete. A large number of guards are on duty. RKe- poris from Beaver Falls are that the strikers are firin and gaining strength—the firemen, machin!ists and others having declared their intention to stand by the striking workmea, PREPARING TO RESUME. MONDAY THE LAST DAY OF GRACE FOR THE STRIKERS. PITTSBURG, Pa., July 16.—The following no- tice was to-day posted by the Carnegie Steel Co. at the Homestead mill in the vicinity of the works and was sent all over the country: Notice—Individual applications for employment at the Homestead Stcel-works will be received by the General Superintendent, either by letter or in per- son, until 6 p.m. Thursday, July 21,1892. Itis our desire to retain the service of old workers whose past recora is satisfactory and who did not take part in the attempts which have been madeto inieriere with our right to manage our business. Such of our oid employes as do not apply by the time above- named will be considered as having no desire to re- enter our employment, and the positions which they held will be given to other men, and those first ap- plying will havethe choice of unfilled positions for which they are suitabie. This notice will be the last given to the employes of the works,and on non-com- pilance with this the places will be filled with nonu- ublon men. That there are non-union men in the Home. stead mill and more coming to-day Is evident from what Mr. Lovejoy, s@cretary of the company, to-day said. When asked how — non-union men were inthe mill he said: ‘*Well, now really Icannot discuss the de- tails of this questiou,and am not at liberty to ne Fy how many men there are in the mills.’’ **Will you say how many men will go up to- oor OF before you get ready to start the m .f ‘‘No, Icannot. There are some things the public has norightto knowand thatis one of them. Thereis notthe least doubt, how- ever, that we will have enough men to work the mill in a satisfactory manner. The Homestead mill will be started up July 23, — the notice posted to-day wili be the st. ‘*The men at Beaver Falls and our Union mills will be given until Monday, July 18, to return to work under a new agreement. The Union milils will be started Monday, the sth, and we will have no trouble In getting competent men to take the places, in Spite of what the men say about none butold hands being able to successfully run the works.’’ The Carnegie Steel Co. has advertised for bids for furnistiiing materials and build- ing 100 houses on the city farm lots at Mulhall Station. These houses willjhe erected at once and will be for the use of the men employed in the mill. The location is inside of the in- closure and protection will thus be’ assured to the men, even in their houses. The houses wiil be from six to elght rooms and each will be built separately on a good- sizedlot. Ifthereare non-union men inthe mill there are not morethan ten or twelve. A prominent and well-informed labor leader explained the smoke from the mill by saying: ‘*Vhe cupalos are filled with dolomiteand are lighted to save the burned stoneinthem,. A few furnaces are fired also, this being done to save them from dampness. There are no men in the works but the regular watchinen andatewfiremen. These people were hever siopped going to or from the mill, Our people thoroughly understand why the men are thereandare not alarmed about it, nor are they concerned over the lighting of the furnaces.’’ At 9 o’clock this morning the steamer Tide, loaded with provisions, started fom the works at Homestead. She passed through lock No. 1, where six or eight men boarded her. Thereport at the lock was that they were laborers. One of the leading officials of the Carnegie Steel Co. was found at the general office to-day sorting over a miscel- laneous collection of mail, among which were many letters making applications for positions in the Homestead mills. Others expressed a iissatisfac- tion with the strike and were intended to square the writers with the firm when the troubleis over. Among the letters was the following, which the reporter was permitted to copy, Omitting the signature: HOMESTEAD, July 15, 1892. Carnegie Steel Co.: There was a good many of us out for sympathy’s sake, but sympathy does not fill a hungry stomach and there is no use for 3,500 men to stay out for 200 who make from $5 fo $15 a day. They can stand it to take a vacation if they saved their money, but we mechanics do not receive such alarge amount and think there are about the most of us that would go back if protection was secured. The Carnegie company intends to begin the work of repairing its mills here on Monday next preparatory to starting anew onthe work vet unfinished by the lockout. This morning every man in the mechanical de- partment of the mis received the following otice: ” 15. EAR Sin—Repairs will be resumed on Monday mornisg, duly 15, 1892.

LITTLE Rock, Ark., July 18.—Carnegte, the steel works owner, has been hanged in effigy bere. The policeatanearly hour yesterday morning discovered a crowd of over 200 peo- ple assembled on a corner. The cause of this was the figure of a man hanging froma tele- phone pole witha placard bearing the word ‘Carnegie,’’ pinned on its breast.

Union Men Commanded to Surrender Their Arms—Railways Sell Tickets to Disturbed Districts Only on Pass- ports—Appearance’ of Non-Union Men Will Cause Further Bloodshed. SPOKANE, Wash., July 16.—Wallace is quiet and to all appearances will remain so. The arrfval of troops has not had the effect of subduing the union men, but the fears of the citizens have been allayed, There are nearly 1,000 troops in Cosur D’Alene. About 100 sol- diers were sent out into the mountains around Wardner and Wallace Thursday night to look out for meetings of union men. About fifty citizens of Wallace and Wardner who have taken sides with the non-union men have been ordered to leave. N. E. Harris, who keeps a slaughter-house near Wallace, was ordered out under penalty of having his property blown into atoms. Harris told the union’s committee that he would not leave and would fight for his rights. There are many correspondents in this country at present. These gentlemen are es- pecially obnoxious to the union men, and have been blacklisted with the telegraph Operators. The operators are protected by two armed guards on duty all the time. The lives of several reporters have been repeated- ly threatened. When the report reached here Thursday night that thirteen disem- boweled and mutilated bodies had been found in Fourth of July Canyon, the excite- ment wasintense. Groups gathered on the street corners and talked wildly until dais- persed by the military. Two loud explosions were heard west of Mullane Thursday night, but asthe wires were cut definite informa- tion could not be obtained until last night when it was learned that the strikers blew up 9ridges near Mullane to keep out the sol- diers. They have the mountains picketed with union men. It is stated on good authority that as soon as the excitement cools down non-union men will be brought back and put to work. When thisisdone a bloody war is expected. At Harrison, Idaho, preparations are being made bya number of the friends of non- union miners supposed to have been Killed in the Mission massacre to drag the river in the hope of recovering the bodies of any who may have been shot while attempting to swim the river. The first official order was promulgated by Col. Curtis yesterday, direct- ing the Northern and Union Pacific Railroads not to sell tickets orto transport passengers through the county of Shoshone to-day, ex- cept where they had passports from military headquarters. es ARRESTS MADE. WALLACA, Idaho, July 16. — President O’Brien, Secretary Byinton of the Miners’ Union, and twenty-five other members of that body were arrested yesterday, and Cor- oner Sims and the provost guard are taking men in right along. Several citizens have also been placed in custody, including Robe h. Neill and Walter Jones, who were Eee members of the union. It is reported that all members of the union are to be locked up. If this be true it means the arrest of over 1,000 men. MILITARY ORDERS. UNION MINERS ORDERED TO SURRENDER THEIR ARMS. Boise, Idaho, July 16.—Yesterday Gov. Willey sent the following to Gen. Curtis, now at Wailace: PAL... eee Soon eenes = yovew Marshal of Sho- ne, aho, w authority to appoint a deputies as you deem necessary. sh wleerseray The Governor held a lengthy conference with W. B. Heyburn over the wires shortly after,in which the latter sald that it was reported in Spokane that the rioters had blown up another Northern Pacific bridge and Nad hanged a mine owner, name not given, whose views did not exactly coincide with theirs. No credence was given the rumor, The tollowing notice is being posted throughout this district: HEADQUARTERS IDAHO NATIONAL GUARDS, WALLACE, Idaho, July 15. To the Officers and Members of Caur d’ Alene Miners’ Union, Whether Permanent or Tempo- rary: You are hereby commanded to surrender your. selves and your arms tothe commanding officer of troops at your respective localities. ‘Protection un- der the law will be guaranteed. All good citizens of the county are requosted and commanded to aid in identifyingand arresting those who do not surren- der. Acting for the Governor: JAMES F, CURTIS Colonel I. N. G. Commanding. The order prohibiting transportation of passengers without passports was subse- quentiy madeto include the 16th inst., as wellastheday referredto. This is done to prevent the escape of any of the rioters from the county by means of the railroads. REWARD FOR ROBBERS. Forty Thousand Dollars Offered for the Adair Outlaws. PARSONS, Kan., July 16.—The officials of the M. K. &T. R. R. have offered a reward of $40,000 forthe arrest and conviction of the robbers who robbed the train in the Indian Territory last night, and a reward of $5,000 for the arrest and conviction of any one of them. A call was made spon Mr. L. Fuller, general manager ofthe Pacific Express Co., at his office, No, 500 North Fourth street. ‘‘I really know nothing of the robbery beyond what has appeared in the papers,’’ said Mr. Fuller. ‘*‘We have offered a reward of $5,000 ad each of the robbers and hope to get em. ‘*Was it possiéle for the messenger to know the combination'of the safe?’’* ‘*Our safes can be opened at several points along the line, but the messenger is not sup- posed to know the combination.’’ ‘‘How does Messenger Williams explain the alleged fact that he was able to open the ‘*‘That Idonot know. I have not heard from Mr. Williams at all. His home is in Sedalia, and probably he is there,’’ **Will he come to this city to-night?’’ ax | nape say, as I know nothing of his plans, of even his present whereabouts.’’ **Is Detective Kinney in the city?’’ ‘*NotthatI am aware of. I have heard nothing from him. That division ends at Sedalia. In fact, 1know nothing more than has been published?’’ Hon. J. J. Frey, General Superintendent of the Missouri,tKhansas & Texas Railway, ar- rived in St. Louis arrived this morning on the steamer Abbey from Boonville, Mo. When seen this morning by a Post-DisPatcH reporter at the Southern Hotel in regard to the robbery of an M. K. & T. train at Adair, 1. T., Mr. Frey said: ‘‘I have been in the middle of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers on our boat for the tdayand a half, and I am not very well posted on the latest developments. I know that we have a large f men after the robbers, but it is the nextt them in the to an im were aware thatan attempt would be made to hold up our trains, and every train sent out was well guarded, and while it may be a surprise to some that the robbers captured the train while armed guards were aboard, itis not asurprise tome. The con- ductor was eranvae by the robbers as soon as he alight from ‘the train, and the other employes on the train being overhauled and marched along with the robbers, there was danger of killing our own men is what kept the guards from firing into the robbers. The night was tensely dark and one man not be distinguished from another, and as the work was accomplished in very short ees the defense could not have been other- se, : ‘It is a mega: to me that some of our own men ere not - killed, and they certainly would have veen had the rds lost their presence of mind and fired into the robbersas the train men were compelled to accompany them into the express car.

As we are helpless the Government should aid us in mvaepe out that class of men from their nest,’ . . TIN MINE FAILURE, Engish Investors Losing Money in the Temescal Mines. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 16.—A morning paper devotes much space to the subject of the Temescal Tin Mines at San Jaccinto, San Bernaraino County, in which it declares that the mines are an utter failure, This declara- tion is Based principally upon the testimony of John J. Quick, a mining engineer of long experience in the Cornish tin mines, and who worked for a considerable time in the San Jacinto mines. He was engaged by the news- paper to examine and report upon the condi. tion ofthese mines. Engineer Quick in his report to the paper gives a detailed state- mentof the condition of all parts ofthe mines, and declares that they are not pro- ducing sufficient tin to keep a mill going, and thatthe little ore in sight will soon bs exhausted, He further dectares that no large body of ore, the workingof which would pay, has ever been found inany part of that district. These Temescal mines com- mencoed operations in April, 1891, and not- withstanding expectations that they would produce from 100 to 200 tons of ingot tin monthly the average production for the past two months has been less than twelve tons, worth about $5,500 in the San Francisco mar- Ket, and that during all that time the English stockholders have been sending out upwards of $8,000 per month to meet deficits. The paper states further that the pro- ductions for the past three months have averaged between nine and ten tons, and that was produced by scraping out leav- ings in the old stopes, the new workings not revealing any pay ore. It is said that $2,000,- 000 have been expended in the purchase of the mines and their improvement and that they have a monthly payroll of hetween $7,000 and $8.000. The paper states that the English stockholders have summoned to Lon.- don Capt. Harris, late superintendent of the mines, who resigned his position because he was convinced the property would not pay; that Harris left San Jaci late W for London, and that witt}>a few days there will be a meeting there of the stockholders of the San Jacinto Tin Co,, when factsin con- nection with the mines will be made public, RED RIVER. It Slices Off Texas Soil and Adds It to the Indian Territory. Paris, Tex., July 16.—There is perhaps not amore peculiar or treacherous stream on the American continent than Red River. It is more than 1,500 miles in length and from its source in the Rocky Mountains to its mouth in the Mississippi delta there is a fall of more than 8,000 feet or over two feet to the mile. This causes it to flow with great rapidity and when it is swollen its sweeps madly toward the Gulf carrying every- thing in its course. It is con- stantly changing its channel, every freshet causing a change Inthe bed ofthe river. The river is siowly but surely coming south, and by so doing is depriving Texas of much of its domain and giving it to the Indian Territory. Under the treaties with the five civilized tribes, the south banc of the Red River was to be the boundary line between the Indian Territory. In many places old traces ofthe river bed can be seen some distance north of where the stream runsto-day. Near Arthur City, in this county, several hun- dred acres were transferred from Texas to the Indian. Territory this spring, At the old Nesbitt crossing in Fannin County three buildings that for. erly stood on Texas sollare now half buried in the sand in the Indian country, fully three- quarters of a mile from the boundary line, Ten years ago Horseshoe Lake in Fannin County, was three miles south of Red River. Now the channel! of that stream is within half a mile of {he lake and at the rate the iver bas been croaching upon Texas soil n two or three more years the lake will go into the river. These changes have cost the planters along the river a great deal and will continue to do so, as the river will fikely make most important changes, as it seems detcrmined to shorten its course to the sea by cutting off many of the long and useless detours it now makes, Every mile that is cut off gives its waters that much greater im- petus ahd will make still greater changes in the channel. ~ PEVER ON BOARD. A Typhus Infected VesselsLands at New New York.” New York, July 16.—On the arrival at Quar- antine yesterday morning of the steamer Ne- vada from Liverpool, Health Officer Jenkins found in the steamer’s bospitala steerage passenger named Mary Ribbinovitch, aged 20 years, a native of Sale, Province of Wilna, Russia, suffering from typhus fever. She had been isolated from the other passengers during the six days of her illness, and she and her traveling companion, Sarah Muller, were transferred by the health officer to the reception hospital on the quarantine boat George §S. Preston. The steamer was then allowed to proceed to her dock under ob- servation of a quarantine officer, and all the ers from Russia were detained on poard. Their baggage Was opened, tery bmg in the steerage and treated to a thorough dis- infection, This morning the health officer made a second inspection of the passengers and the steamer’s steerage, and the baggage was subjected to steam ata high tempera- ture, All the Russian passengers, ninety-one in number, and thelr baggage were trans- ferred to Hoffman Island for observation and disinfection, Two other cases were found on a subsequent inspection to-day, which were immediately transferred to the reception hospjtei, A CRUEL HOAX. passe a No Truth in the Report of Mra.

British Liberals Confronted With a Troublesome Question. VARIOUS PARTY OFFSHOOTS THAT CAN- NOT BE DEPENDED UPON. Nothing Can Be Expected of Parnellites and Labor Members Lukewarm-—Sir Charles Dilke Discussed-—To-Day’s Re- sults—Relations of Germany and Rus- sia—A Borrowe Incident—Foreign. Lonpon, July 16.—The question now troub- ling the Liberal leaders is how far the Par- nellite and labor members will go in support of Mr. Gladstone. The Parnellites hate the Liberal leader more ardently than the Tories, andthere is hardly a doubt that they would sooner see home rule defeated than accept it athishands. The prospect of a home rule measure fashioned by Mr. Gladstone, Healy and McCarthy is something they cannot tol- erate, and the Oonservatives and Liberal- Unionists will probably have at least the secret sympathy and, as far as possible, the active co-operation of the Parneliites. As for the Labor mem- bers, they profess complete independence, and while they are presumably not opposed to Irish home rule, there is no reason what ever for assuming that they will goout of their way to forward it. Besides a large number of straight Liberals gave but faint support tohome rule in their election ad- dresses, and may corclude to show a good deal of independence as to the details of a home rule Dill. There being no party convention system in Great Britain the candidates stand each up- on his election address, and while party allegiance is strong, a member always has the right if he chooses of falling back upon the plat- form of principles which he laid down for himself when he offered himself asa candi- date. Acareful examination of the election addresses of the Liberal candidates through- out England showsthat home rule was ig- nored in several instances and was made prominent in comparatively few instances. It is true, on the other hand, that the Newcastle programme sustains home rule for Ireland, and that the Newcastle gathering was sup- posed to voice the Liberal sentiment of the country. But the. British rule as to candi- dates being bound by their own personal Ceclarations is as yet too powerful to be affected by any assumption that the Newcas- tle -programme took precedence of such declarations, DISCUSSING DILKE. The Standard referring to the Liberal vic- tory in the Forest of Dean Division says: **Sir Charles Dilke’s return constitutes no trifling addition to Mr. Gladstone’s em- barrassmentin deciding claims for Cabinet offices.’’ *® , Thesame journal commenting on Mr, Bal- four’s speech made last night at Glossop says: ‘‘His language seemed to suggest that some particular cloud gathering in Europe is likely to burst at no distant period.’’ When the result of the election in the Forest of Dean Division was announced the supporters of Sir Charles Dilke wanted to place him in a chair and carry him in triumph to his hotel. Sir Charles refused to allow this, however, and an enthusiastic crowd escorted him to the hotel. Sir Chdries’ wife, her face beaming with smiles, met him on the steps, from which Sir Charles delivered an address, thanking his supporters. The Times says that afterthe excommani- tion of Mr. Parnell it will be impossible for Sir Charles Dilke to returnto official life. The counry will not tolerate his admission to the cabinet and his ambition will be thus barred. He will be aformidable and not too favorable critic of the ministry, none of whose members in the House are likely to compare with him in knowledge of foreign and coloni- al policy. TO-DAY’S RESULTS. At an early hour this afternoon the election returns showed only one seat gained by the This was inthe south division of Lincolnshire, where in the general election of 1886 Mr. A. R. Heath, Conservative, was returned without opposition. Mr. Heath contested the district this year, but Mr. Parks, his Liberal opponent, was elected by a majority of 839. Mr. Justin McCarthy, the leader of the anti-Parnellites, who was de- featead in Londonderry a few days ago, much to the delight of the Parnellites, was elected yesterday in the north division of Longford, beating his Conservative opponent, Mr. J. M. Wilson, by a majority of 4,257. Sir Wilfred Lawson, whoisan advanced Radical who favors the disestabiishment of the church, the abolition of the House of Lords and the doing away with standing armies, has been elected in the Cockermouth Division of Cumberland, which he lost in the election of 1855 by a ma- jority of 10 votes, but which, standing asa Gladstonian Liberal, he carried in 1886, Sir Wilfred is well known for his devotion to the temperance cause and a leader of the United Kingdom Alliance. He has been in Par- liament off and on since 1859. In March, 1864, he asked for permission to tntroduce the measure now so well known as the permissive bill, the main principle of which was the giving to two-thirds of any parish or town- ship an absolute veto upon all licenses on the sale of intoxicating liquors granted within their districts. This bill was supported by forty members ofthe House. On June 3, 1880, Sir Wilfred succeeded in carrying his **local option’’ resolution by a majority of 26. Baron Ferdinand James de Rothschild, Liberal- Unionist, who has represented the Aylesbury Division of Buckingham since 1885, Las again been returnea by his constitu. ents in that district. At 2:30 o’clock the returns show the election of 265 Conservatives, 45 Liberal-Unionists, 262 ‘Liberals, 64 anti-Parnellites, 9 Parnellites, and 8 Laborists. This gives the Government 810 members and the opposition 838, THE FUTURE. The Unionists in the Midlotmian district have already begun an energetic canvass with a view to contesting the district when Mr. Gladstone takes office. When Mr. Glad- stone again enters the ministry it will be necessary for him to resign his seat in the Commons andto again stand for election, The Conservatives and Liberal-Unionists en- couraged by the enormous reduction they made n his majority Wednesday, think that when he again appeals to the Midlothian electors they will be able to defeat him. Mr. Balfour in a speech at Glossop last night said that to the various disasters to the Conservative cause that have recently oc- curred must be added the fact that the sepa- ratists seem certain to obtain a majority in Parilament, but he did not think that this misfortune would bring serious “evil to the cause of union. of the present said, was ina great culation of gross the Gladstonians bad abe hak P mn 6 " an — ay hs g —— EP ee Cy TS ODE ee OR EIN os SER SRR apt LR Bratt Toa tS i! 8 7 7 would be strong enough to control the legis- lative folly of their successors. —, GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

Silver Men Will Support Only the Whit : Metal’s Friends. , HELENA, Mont., July 16.—Before the ad- journment of the Miners’ Congress yesterday Francis G. Newlands of Nevada, President of the Congress, addressed the convention on the subject of the independence of presi- dential electors. He said that he was a Republican, but that his loyalty was due not to the Republican party of Massa- chusetts or New York, but to the Republican party of Nevada. The situation was a serious one. Ifthe mining States were not careful they stood in danger by their essential votes of putting in power a man whose power would be equal to two-thirds of the Senate and House. It would be difficult to pass a free coinage bill through ~~ both houses of Congress. That fight must be taken up and renewed with dauntless courage. But how hopeless the task if the presidential veto were to be interposed. He saidthe measure he advocated did not involve support of the third party. It made the third party un- necessary in mining States, as both the ex- isting parties could nominate party electors and ;bind them to exercise their trust and in the interest of these States indefinitely if necessary unless the requisite assurance was given by the candidate. Al! parties in the mining States, Democratic, Republican and People’s party should act with harmony on this subject and thus prevent the election of any candidate as President who would efter so long an agitation overpower and dominate } the popular will. | STEVENSON AT BUFFALO.
