The wool discussion is taking an interesting turn, though it is, on the whole, very tedious. Pat Collins, the Irish member from llostou, has made the most elaborate speech thus far in the debate, though .Mr. Wilson's is ex- ' peeled to surpass it in oratory, if not in argument. A funny thing happened j when Mr. Collins was speaking. He is very g i natured and lets the opposi- , tion tire in!., hint ;ls often as occasion " 1 1 ' rails lor. lie m? iiuwii iiireini|>w>. ?.

Pittsiil'uuii, July 15.?1The lockout of the iron workers has assumed an entirely different aspect. According to the statements of a representative manufacturer there may bo developments next work which will result in the disruption of the Western Iron Association, with the result that in the future there will be no committee of manufacturers to confer with tin- Amalgamated Association upon the scale of wages each year. There are still about fifty tirms in the Association Ihat have refused to sign the scale. It is said that these tirmsare still ot)j?osetl to signing the scale on account of the depressed condition of the iron market, hut that the situation has now resolved itself into a question whether to sign the scale or to Ipso their trade. A meeting of the manufacturers will probably be held the first of next week. The official call has not yet been issued, but it comes from a most reliable source that a meeting is contemplated. It also comes from high authority that Mr. A. F. Kentiim will tendor his ro nignation as President of the Western Iron Association. It issud that he will refuse to continue in a position whero there is so much work with the result flint it was ull to no purpose. The signin;: of thi' scale hv some tirms has caused intense dissatisfaction among the membra of tin- Association. A manufacturer said that it was almost certain that amieof the tirmsut least would withdraw tod that the association might bo disrupted. He said: "It looks now as though there would he no Association of the manufacturers. That means that .hereafter wo would have no organization to confer each year with the Amalgamated Association Coinmittee ou the wage question. It would Um n remain for each firm to "act individually each year and determino for themselves whether they would sign the icale. 1 will not say that L am complaining alKmt the tirms that signed. Some of them had orders to be filled that made it imperative that the scale be signed." A McKeesaort dispatch says: "There was a general uplifting of cloudy faces among both business and working men when it became noised abroad that aif| amicable adjustment had been reached l?y the Amalgamated Committee and the management of the National Rolling ??iu concerning the scale question, and mat the entire mill would resume next JjoruUv. This means the re-employ?*nt of over 2,000 men, most of them wgti wane employes, who have been out 01 employment for the past two www. Mr. D. c. Hughes, one of leading Amalgamated men here, Ja?l among the prominent men on U?e committee of consultation, was seen, ,,ut ffuik'd to say whether the comply had signed or not. lie said he had Jwn instructed by the committee to not;!y I II' IlfUMtintu.pu .... o.l justnient had been inade and the works JouM resume. but nothing more. A J"jcr to,nJ' rules in the business circles *n?J good feeling exists." sJi.V ^ *lgtmsted otUcials wero notiJWtlijitJenniuB, Bealedc Co.,of Lynchwg, Pa., bad signed the scale. AXOTHKK BIB fOI.NT Scored bj the llurllucton ?One of the I Prlnonera Confetaes. Ciiicaoo, July lo.?Another big point has been scored by the Burlington in the dynamito conspiracy case. Bowles, the man against whom the testimony given Friday was most conclusive, has made a full confession of his share in the conspiracy. lie saw that in his case there was lit* tie hope of escape of conviction, and early Saturday morning it was made known to District Attorney Ewing that Bowles was ready to squeal. Arrangements were at once made to take down his statement, and ho was conveyed to Mr. K wing's office to tell all he knew. Another of the men, Godding, also concluded to come in tno camp, ana oy noon all that ho knew about the plot against the Burlington was told. It is understood that Howies has told the prosccutfon facts which will make the conviction of Chairman Iloge certain. Hoge. it would seem, is the man they are really after, not only as a blow they wish to strike at the Brotherhood, but because the road officials dislike him personally. The other defendants they are favorably disposed towards. The text of the "squeal" was not made public, but it was important enough to necessitate the postponement of the case before the Federal Court as well as in the State tribunal. It is certain that when the three prisoners. Bowles, Broderick and Wilson, were brought over from the jail and put in the cage in the Marshal's office, Bowles sent word that he wanted to sec the District Attorney. He was taken to Mr. Ewing's office und there confessed ( to General Manager Stone, luspeetor Bonfleld and Attorney Collier. The only direct information as to the nature of the confession was a well defined rumor that a United States warrant had been itemed for the arrest of Hose, who is out on $1,500 bonds under the conspiracy charge brought under t|y; State law. The crowd awaiting in the Federal court room was again large, and chiefly composed of Brotherhood men, whose looks of sympathy cast on the prisoners us they were brought in indicated their appreciation of the danger their comrades were in. Bowles came in with the District Attorney and took a scat beside him, opposite the other prisoners, who flashed vindictive and contemptuous looks at him. lie was visibly agitated and moved restlessly in his* seat, kcepiug his eyes upon the floor. Before the attorney for the Brotherhood hud a chance to interpose, Bowles, still trembling, was induced by the District Attorney to arise quickly and wave examination. A sensational" sceue ensued. The Brotherhood attorneys, Donohoe and Davis protested loudly that they had been treated with great unfairness, and given no show from the very outset of the trial. Lawyer David hotly denounced Commissioner lloyne. declaring: "We could expect nothing else from this court, and have received nothing else.' Tho Commissioner ordered David to be arrested by the marshal, but the latter did not at once comply and David subsequently made a Pickwickian apology tn_ the L-ourt. Bowles was released on $5,000 bail. Alter court adjourned the heretofore reticent prisoner, Wilson, savagely denounced Bowles, ridiculing the idea that [he latter was innocent, and exclaiming: "The chicken heart, he has laid down." A.N EXPIJttlJSXCIS WIT1I MORMONS. . An Kiiglifdt Wonmn'n Sail Story?ller llu?bnnd Murdered In Utalw Chicago, July 15.?A pale faced little tvoman, giving ner naiuti aa ivuzum-iu L'urnbull 'Ratter, formerly of .North Shields, England, was picked up on the streets yesterday, apparently fainting froiu hunger. She claimed to have had nothing to eat on her four days' trip from Ogden, Utah, to Chicago, enroute to her old home in England. She told ii terrible story of experiences among the Mormons. Her young son, she stated had been induced against the wishes of his parens to join n party of emigrants, organized by Mormon missionaries in England. Not hearing from the boy, who it was afterwards learned, had been prevented by elders from writing, the father, frantic with anxiety, followed to Utah. lie found employment with a Mormon farmer named Jos. Holbert, but was unable to earn enough to help continue the search until pretending to join the church. Then Kutter got money and sent some homo to her, but all his letters telling of the condi tion of affairs in Utah were intercepted and otherssubstituted urging her to eoine to Utah with the missionaries. She obeyed, and claims the women in the party were subjected to fearful indignities enrouto by the elders. Kutter was murdered shortly "after he joined him. He had inadvertently given n young Mormon an inkling of his plans to find his boy and escape with his wife. The Mormons asserted that liutter's death was accidental. She was defrauded by Holbert of her husband's savings, but fleeing to Ogden earned enough money working in a hotel to pay her passage home. The amount of railroad fare was larger than she expeeted, and sooner than delay longer she had derived herself of food on the long journey to Chicago. ___________ CHILD SHAPED hlKB A TURTLE.

W. H. An- wi drews, of this place, successor to Cooper as Chairman of the State Republican tj0 Committee, and who holds intimate po- J litical relations with the Senator, says wa that Qnay is at home in organizing and jjjjj running a political campaign, and using j,a) the right arguments in the right place, sul He has election returns at his finger aid ends and understands all phases of pub- ^ lie questions, is level-headed, cool, saga- wa cious, seldom mistaken in his estimates 0jj of men and the drift of public sentiment. Mr. Andrews says he feels that ;U( Quay's selection means a Republican jjg National victory. tj6l ENCOURAUINU The Groat 9Iov?iiieut Among Domucrnta est for Ilarrlaon mid Protection. nel Washington, July 15.?Republicans have no reason to feel despondent, if the tol* reports that come from almost every coc quarter are half true. Two things seem ed to be conceded on every hand; one that vur there is greater unanimity in the party than lias been had for many years, ana Wn the other that the campaign will be fought almost strictly on the tariff issue? \ not as presented by the Mills bill, which jug is claimed to be a mere 7 per cent step for toward free trade, but on the spirit which has been manifested by the party leaders for years, and which is strongly reflected in the President's message. top It is a conspicuous fact that two of the e]e( charges whicn were sprung against Har- j<ie] rison immediately upon his nomination pre have fallen flat, and are now admitted j0l by many Democrats to be of little or.no jno use. The one is his Chinese record, so tan called, and the other his conduct and ft.,p speeches during the riots of 1877. Dem- Htai ocrats find not only that Harrison pur- Ha| sued a very conservative and judicious course, but that he had very excellent nel Democratic company. At any rate it is jan BBCOMINO PLAINER, DAV BY DAY, Cla according to reports brought here by y very reliable persons, that tho workingman <ln nnfc intanri to hn driven to for- i??. sake their own interests by the cry that ten Harrison will have a unanimous vote in lou< China or that he took the Held to put of 1 down tho riots. whi An incident in support of this is fur- igni nished by Mr. L. Habercorn, the dis- the tinguished Washington correspondent ed i of the Milwaukee Jlcrald and St. Louis mei Wertlichc Pout, and a gentleman of wide strc influence in German circles. Mr. I la- sevi bercorn returned from New York to-dav. ing where he was 011 private business, and T relates how he happened to fall into but conversation with a very intelligent jun street car conductor who expressed n do- hur sire to have a Harriron button, similar Joh to one worn by a friend of Mr. Hnber- Pot com. "I am a Democrat," said the con- Wo ductor, "and have always voted the bur Democratic ticket, but this year I shall and vote for Harrison and Morton, and I liav personally know of more than 100 other pipi Democratic employes of this line who die* vote the Republican ticket. On another tun lino I know of nearly 150 Democrats who pou will do the same thing, and 1 am assured that this is the case nearly all over tho two cities. What is the reason! Simply because when it comes to a question Hai between British workingmon and Amor- qUi, ican workingmen, wo are ' craj |FOB TIIK AMERICANS, that is, ourselves. I would liko to see ten 1.: ?n na;,i lie i nUIMU^IUCU oil vt?i nuv nvuu j?.v. wages that would enable them to live in (ljoc comfort, but so long as we are brought hop into competition wo must do the best sho thing for ourselves. It is my opinion jnd that this tariff question will almost re- ere< volutionize the position of the work- mm ingrnen of New \orkCity and Brooklyn Vor in politics." wet Mr. Habercorn stated that ho instituted careful inquiries in regard to the defection of Mr. Scth Low, of Brooklyn, and found that it really amounted to A R nothing. It is merely an incident of the importers' movement for free trade as N against the manufacturers, who want w. protection. . . Among the Irish, Mr. Habercorn found an extensive movement to organize t?0' Democratic anti-frco trade societies ioni which will not unite with the Kepublicans but will vote with them this year, . for Presidential electors, while retaining their position, as far as possiblej as knc orthodox Democrats in local affairs. <>f j The popularity of Norton among the j J?[' Irish contributes largely to this move- ??ll ment, but its mainspring is opposition to Congressional legislation in the in- jdji I te rests of British and other foreign j*11 manufacturers. 'Ml DEMOCRATIC F0RUKK1 MILL bet \V? It Begins to Grind Out Lien Early In the ?Y " Campaign. ft f Dks Moines, Iowa, July 15.?The Reg- iftvv inter, of this city, publishes the follow- an< ing: Several thousand postal cards have the been sent froqj New York within the jjjj past few days bearing neither date nor J signature but the following words: "one A day." red We have one which was sent to a gen- gro tleman in Grand Junction, and he in- S forms us that nearly every workingman sev in that place has received one like it. hie It is possible that these postal cards have been sent out by the hundreds of thousands all over the United States. No explanation accompanies them now, but it is intended to have the explanation to come after the fashion of Demo- ^ cratic roorbachs, so near to election that der there would not be time to contradict it. It refers to a Democratic slander recently started that General Harrison at some [ time had said that a dollar a day was enough wages for any workingman. The the sentiment is not new, for it is an old hoi campaign slander that Democrats cry 1 4"n ntlm? nanilulfltna tliii UUVU V?M?W? UHlUHMIirwl int. before. General Harrison never wa uttered it, and his friends at In- the riianaDolifl iceep standinein the newupa- cac pen an offer of a thousand dollars re- ho ward to any person who can furnish inj proof that he uttered it. The libel is too St* stupid to have any effect except to show ly in what desperate straits the Democratic cd party now is. Eight years ago it hod its Ge Morey letter, a bold forgery written by a ala man in the pay of the Democratic be party; four years ago it had its Burchard, m( whose words were used in the same dis- nil honest manner, and this year it has re- hii sorted to anonymous slanders to poison til the minds of workingmen against the Republican candidate. Its stupid lies 1 ana forgery react only upon itself. In ? this instance they have come so early ali > that the country will havo full opportu- ad ) nity to understand its utter dopravity W before it can do tho mischief it deslrea. bj BKOKK I'P IX A HOW. e "Happy" Democratic Family nt Bnu ton linn a Falling Out. tefel DU^aich to U* InUUlfolar, Braxton C.

J Streeter accepting the nomination foi tho Presidency of the United Statei tendered him by the Union Labor partj at its convention held in Cincinnati May 15: New Windsor, III., July 15. tv lion. J. if. (iuutnrn. Chairman, and Kobm Schilling, Seertlanj, Satlonul Executive Committer: Gentlemen:?Your favor of June 20 at hand giving notice of my unanimous nomination bv the Union Labor party at its National Convention, held in the city of Cincinnati, 0., May 15 and 10 last, for the office of President of the United States, and with this notice you also send copy of platform. I am truly thankful for this distinguished honor. To be nominated for the highest office in the gift of the i>eople ia wore than I expected, and more than I deserve, and would have been pleased had the convention conferred this distinguished honor upon another more worthv than myself. But it has come tome free as the air and the sunlight, and I deem it a duty I owe to both the convention and the people there represented to accept the nomination, and if it shall he the will of the people to elect mo there will be some radical changes inado in the administration of affairs. To the extent of ability and energy, and with a flip hand, the Government will be administered more in the interest of the great common people, but not to the injury of any class of our people, fur all should property ty the firm hand of the law. But the grejkt common people?those whose hands have made this country what it is?have not had justice. UNCLE SAM TO HLAMB. Unfortunately, it is the Government itself that has brought the 'people to the condition they are in, struggling with poverty ami debt. Through bad laws and their wicked enforcement corporate mono|>olieB, greedy combinations and avaricious trusts have become favored classes in the administration of affairs, and these have forced the people into their present and unfortunate condition. They now cry aloud for relief, and it is the duty of the Government to help them, instead of further aiding the nriv-1 ilegeil classes to their injury. 1 hold tOM this principle: The prosperity of a nation is measured bv the prosperity of its industrial people. If they are prosperous, then the nation is prosperous, indeed; but if its producing people are struggling with poverty, taxes and debt, then the nation is door, though its treasury, like ours, be overflowing with idle money. SOMETHING WRONG. * There is something wrong, and wo all know it. We have tried a change of ad ministration Irom one old party to tno other, but it gave tho people no relief. We are even worse oir now than when the change was made. Still, interest, taxes, high rates for transportation and other combinations take nearly all we annually produce, and leave but little ou which to live and less to pay debts. A Government that does not enable its industries and working people to pay their debts is not a GovernmeutTof the people, and is unworthy of their support. A Government that has by its policy tolerated monopolies, greedy combinations and trusts, and has not protected the people against their spoliations, is unworthy of the support of its working people. Unfortunately these un-j holy monopolies^ combinations and trunts have increased in numbers, and! power, and strength from one administration to another, until they think they have the power to control the Government ami the people; until they have forced upon the country another "irrepressible conflict"?a conflict involving uie prosperity iuiu uuppuiL-as ui uu,wv,-1 000 of people. It is an "irrepressible conflict that will determino whether capital shall rule this country or the people who inhabit it. The other "irrepressible conflict involved the liberty of 4,000,000 of people, but this one involves the right and liberty of 00,000,000 of people to the enjoyment of the fruits of their labor. To ] settle the slavery conflict it cost the Government a deal of money, of life and of sorrow, and it is to be hoped that this conflict may be settled peaceably at the ballot box, and by the restoration of the Government of the people, to whom it belongs. But settled it will be, and let us hope without seas of lire and rivers of blood. Hence it is the part of wise statesmanship to look tljis growing conflect square in the face, and to muke such changes in the laws and the adminIstrntion of the same as will restore confidence and prosperity to the people. la frhn ohto<*t nnrl intimt of tlift Union Labor party. OLD PARTIES SCORED. If either party has given relief then there would be no necessity for the Union Labor party. But both liavo been tried and both have failed. Wo see people leaving tbeirold parties every day and going to some new organization, and these changes are a vigorous protest against the wrong-doing of the old parties. Some are still saying let us reform witbin our old party, but that is a hopeless task. For history has no reooru of a political party that ever reformed within itself. It takes a new organization to do that, and that is what we aro doing. The tariff is a minor issue when compared with the greater issues involved, and so complex as to be dillicult for many to understand it No legislation whatever on the tariff will give cheaper rates for transportation, nor cheaper rates for interest on money, nor protect the people against the combinations, monopolies and trnsts now sapping the prosperity of the people. Owinor to the ureal diversity of opinion on the tarilF, and among all parties, the Cincinnati Convention thought it best at this tiuio to leave that question out of the platform. I believe, however, that there should be a revision of the tarilT laws, and that protection should be given where needed and the tax reduced wherever it can be safely done. CASTLE IN'FLAMES. WlilteUw Uriel's Mum.Ion ??r White l'lnlna Deatrojed. Wiiitb Plains, N. Y., July 15.?-Fire broke out yesterday morning in the old Ben Holliday stone mansion on the ~ * *r Farm, about three miles froni this Ei, now owned by Mr. Whitelaw , of the Tribune. The building was one of the famous landmarks in Westchester county, having been standing for over two hundred years. Last year Mr. Reid purchased the place from the estate of John Roche and commenced the refitting of the interior upon a magnincent scale, llis dining room, fifty by twenty-three feet, was finished in hard wood, with heavy carvings over the doors of clusters of fruit and various kinds of game. Tho frescoing of tho fourteen rooms on the first floor is magnificent. There were in all fifty-four large rooms in the castle, which we're all finished and decorated. The origin of the fire is not definitely known, but it is due to a defective flue, or tho presence of the electric wires. The loss on tho building will reach nearly $500,000; insured for about twothirds that amount. The question ol rebuilding the castle will be determined in tho future, after tho condition of the walls, which are still standing, have been examined. , FfiOM OKI m (NUM..
