A Congrosa of Iron Kings Assembles in New York.

A GATHERING OF MUCH IMPORTANCE.

Leading Mechanical Engineers and Iron and Steel Manufacturers of the Old and New Worlds Exchange Views.

A BIG EXCURSION PLANNED New York

Oct. 1. —The American

Institute of Mining Engineers opened its fifty-seventh meeting in Chickering llull Monday. The event ia of great scientific importance, owing to the fact that it will merge itself into an international congresa of similar scientific bodies, which will hold sessions here, in Pittsburgh and in Chicago. It is estimated that there are now in this city a round 200 members of the Iron and Steel Institute of Great Britain and about 100 members of the German Vorein Eisenhuettenleute. While tho scientists, manufacturers and engineers are in this city they will be the guests of tho American Institute of Mining Engineers, and invitations to participate in all excursions are extended to the members of the societies of the civil, mechanical and electrical engineers. From all present indications there will by Wednesday be over 600 men engaged In the development of metal interests participating in this convention. This result surpasses the expectations of the most sanguine of those who for years have been working to bring about such a gathering of the men of the old and the new world.

Tho meeting Monday was presided over by ex-Mavor A. S. Hewitt, president of the American Institute of Mining Engineers. About 100 persons residing in the United Stales, Great Britain and Canada were added to the list of members. Tho papers to be read before the conference were then distributed.

On Friday evening members and guests will go by special train to Philadelphia; On Tuesday, October 7, to Lebanon and Harrisburg, and on Wednesday to Johnstown and Altoona, arriving Wednesday evening at Pittsburgh. At Pittsburgh two joint international sessions will be held by the two societies and their guests for the reading of papers.

The general excursion will proceed from Pittsburgh to Chicago, and will divide into two parties, going respectively north and south. The northern excursion will visit the Menominee, Gogebic and Marquette iron ranges and tho Lake Superior copper district, returning to New York via the Sault Ste.

Leaving Kansas Farms.

ATCHINGON, KAN., Oct. 1. - An extraordinary exodus of people from Western Kansas if taking place on account of the crop failure. The rush is so great the railroads have sent agents into the country to work for business. All who can buy an outfit travel overland, while others take passage on the railroads. Farmers who have spent from give to twenty years trying to make a success are selling out and others are abandoning their claims to the mortgagees.

NEW YORK, Oct.

1.—Tho

second

day's session of the Iron and Steel congress was called to order shortly before 11 o'clock. Two papers, "The Physical and Chemical Equations of the Open Hearth Process," by H. H. Campbell, of Steelton. Pa., and "Electric Power Transmision in Mining Operations," by H. C. Spalding, of Boston, were read by title and distributed. "Notes on Recent Improvements in German Steel Works and Rolling-Mills" was the title of a paper read by Mr. R. M. Dallen, of Dusseldorf, Germany, at the afternoon session. A paper on "Machinery for the Charging of Heating and Melting

taken up and Senator Carlisle

(Ky.) addressed the Senate. He would not, he said, attempt to discuss the economic theory of the bill. It was not his purpose to attempt to guage the effect of the measure on the public revenue, because it would be impossible to do so with any degree of accuracy. But he could tell approximately what its effect on taxation would be.

In the statement made by the finance committee when the bill was reported the reduction of revenue has been given as $71,000,000 under the House bill and $60,000,000 under the Senate bill. Of the ----- reduction (from articles placed on the free list) nearly $56,000,000 came from sugar and molasses, leaving only between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000 as the reduction occasioned by the removal of other articles from the dutiable list. He asserted that the bill as it now stood (excepting in the case of sugar and molasses), removed from the free list and placed on the dutiable list more than it took from the dtiable list and placed on the free list. He also asserted that the bill would reduce the revenues and increase the taxation; that while it would not increase the revenues it would increase the taxation of the people very many times the amount by increasing the prices of the articles of similar domestic production.

After disposing of the legal points involved, he said that the bill, having put sugar on the free list and provided for a bounty to home producers, permitted the President to impose the duty on sugar unless the governments of sugarproducing countries in this hemisphere "should do something that would be satisfactory to his Excellency." It was a proposition to confide to the judgment or caprice of the President alone the determination not merely of certain facts defined in the law, but of the results and effects of those facts and circumstances.

Senator Allison (Ia.) criticized sevoral of Senator Carlislo's remarks and denied their accuracy. Ho then discussed at somo length tho question of •-olate, cotton ties and sugar. Ho had, ho said, done tho best ho could, as a member of tbo conforonco committee, to arrange tho bill fairly and justly. Ho believed that it was on tho whole a fair bill to every soction of tho country as a protective moasuro, and lie did not bolievo that its gonoral oilect would bo to operato harshly on one section of tho oountry as against another section. Ho thought that somo of tho duties wore too high, and ho had said so more than once on tho floor of tho Senate. Tho bill would now go to tho country as an experiment In many of Its features, especially as rospected tho bounty on sugar. He Delievod It would prove beneficial.

Sonator Gray (DoL) was tho ^next speaker. During a suspension o"f bis romarks the Houso bill to enable the Postoaster-General to test at small towns and villages tho practicability of tho free delivory system was passed. Senator Gray thenconcludod

hiB

speech,

and Senator Aldrich (R, I.) closod tho discussion, donylng In his speech tho accuracy of many of Sonator Carlislo's estimates.

At the close of Senator Aldrlch's romarks tho Sonato procoodod to voto by yoas and nays on the conforonco report. The first break in tho party ranks was made when Senator Paddock's (Nob.) name was called. Ho said that ho was paired with Senator Eustls (La.) but as Sonator Eustis would havo voted no ho would voto no. Tho next break camo immediately aftor, whon Sonator Pettigrew's (S. D.) namo was called. IIo said lie was paired with Sonator Call (Fla.), but as Sonator Call would havo voted no he would voto no. Tho third and last break was whon Sonator Plumb (ICan.), after all othor Senators had voted, stood up and, his namo having beon called, voted no. Outsldo of thoso three votes, tho voto was a strict party ono.

Tbe final rosult was announced as: Yeas, M: nays, 27. Tho tariff bill now needs only tho signatures of th3 presiding ofllcors of both liousos and of tho President of tho United States.

Tho Sonato then held a brlof oxecutlvo session, and after tho doors wero roopenod tho llouso bill to sot apart a certain tract of land in California as a forest reservation was roportod and passed.

NEW \oitK, Oct 1.—An appeal will be published to-day to tho people of America from the American committee for tho relief of famine In Ireland. Tho most trustworthy Information from public and privato sources in all parts of Ireland is to the effect that tho complete failure of tho potato crop makes another groat famine practically inevitable. The point of actual suffering from hunger has not yet been reached, but tho days of starvation, unless help comes, are not far off. In tho last great famino of l87S-'70 the Irish leadors, Parnell, Davltt and tho others who voiced tho country's appeal for food, plodged themselves never again to appear as supplicants before tho world on behalf of starving Ireland. So no appeal lias been sent out, and probably none would come from that sourco until tho situation becamo desperate and It becamo no less than criminal any longer to withhold it. A movement Is on foot among well-known men not connected with any Irish societies or political bodies to bring to tho attention of America the appalling calamity which now throatens Ireland bofore actual death from hunger has claimed any victims. It has been decided to organize under tho name of the American Commit toe for tho Relief of Famine -in Iroland. It is proposed to make Its work cover both

North and South America. The personnel of the American committeo contains tho following names: Chairman, Colonel James Grant Wilson Honorary Chairmen, Ruthorford B. Hayes, Grover Cleveland Vice-Chair-men, James Redpath, George Ehret, Colonol Elliot F. Shepard, James Phillips, Jr. Treasurer, tho Now York Sun Secretary, Arthur Dudley Vinton. Chauncey M. Depew has accepted tho chairmanship of tho sub-committee on transportation.

Tho appeal of tlio American com mi tteo says: "The Irish leaders pledsed thcinsclvcB and their people In IPX) never again to nppoal to 'America for aid in time of famine. If thetr tongues and peas are silent now It Is only bocauoe they recognize tho sanctity of pledges then glvon, and not becatiso their need- la uot great. But tho privilege of glvthft is none tho less ours, ond tho duty ot aiding our starving brothers Is none tho loss lmperatlvo. It will not do to wait until the Irish peoplo have proved tho oxlstence of famine by dying by scores for lack of food. Shall men fall dead upon tho public because Atnorlcans have said: 'Wo will give relief nest month, but not now Shall children dlo* walling with hunger, and skeleton bodies suck la vain at tho breasts of mothers dead or dying of starvation because Americans btivo 6aid: HVe will give by and by It Is too soon now to give.' Let those who havo never known tlio extremity of hunger remember thoso who starve. There Is no tlmo to spare—no time to (lclay. The Irish peoplo need aid now. Tbo American comqiit'eo ap peals for Immediate contributions^ aoney, provisions and clothing."
