cured." The question of declaring the mill open began to agitate the minds of certain Amalgamated Association men as soon as it became apparent that the mechanics intended breaking away in a body. Mot only toe rank and file, bnt manr leaders realized that -without the numerical aid of the mechanics and laborers they conld not hope to carry the day. Money, or lack of it, a!o became an important . factor. The failure to receiva promised money of large amounts, followed by the bottom dropping out of the promise of victory for the steel-workers in. event of the Democratic party coming into power, together with the unfultillment of other promises all came in for consideration. They could not subsist npon promises, and so told their leaders, who. seeing that it would be useless to try to hold the men together longer, took steps to place their brethren npon equal footing with the meshanicsin the grand rush for work. Saturday's meeting was attended exclusively by the Amalgamated Association members, much to the chagrin and disappointment of the sympathetic mechanics, who were turned aside. They tnrned to their homes in silence, hope dead within them. The meeting was sot a large one, and considerable surprise attended the announcement of the resignation of Chairman . Crawford. "When this resignation had been accepted a striker arose and moved that the lock-out be declared at an end, and that the men bo allowed to seek employment in the Homestead mill. Discussion of this question continued nntil 6f.m., when the meeting adjourned without result. This morning the same question was taken no, bat those for and against such a move were afraid to force the question to a vote, so evenly were they divided. Only about twenty-tivemen attended the . morning meeting. The patriotic workers, who were in favor of staying in the tight to the end, made speech esagainst giving up the battle, arguing that it meant the disintegration of the association. It was of no avail. The question was pat; the vote was a standing one. When Vice-president Varney announced the result there was no joyous outburst. There was no demonstration such as that which followed the standing vote of the mechanics declaring themselves independent of the Amalgamated Association. For a few minutes the men sat and stared at each other. Then followed an gry denunciations. The men slowly left the hall in twos and threes. They seemed loath to leave the building, the very rafters of which have quivered with the declarations made a thousand times that victory was theirs if they would only be patient. This afternoon and evening the men tood in small groups about the streets discussing the plight they found themselves in. With winter npon them they see nothing in sight but a straggle for existence which may assume the proportions of a famine. The oft-repeateadeclarations (of the Carnegie officials that the non-onion men will not be displaced to give employment to the strikers renders absolutely no hope in Homestead for 2.000 of the defeated steel-workera, views of ptianrs. Powderly and Others Sorry for the Men Dempay "Madder than m Wet Hen." St. Louis, Nov. 2a A cony of the dispatch from Homestead annonnbing the strike had been officially declared oft was shown by a reporter to leading men in the Knights of Labor to-night. .General Master Workman T. V. Powderly had not heard of the action of the Amalgamated Association." After reading the bulletin he shrugged his ahonlders and simply said: "Well." "What hare you to say regarding it!" asked the reporter. "Ob. nothing. I was not expecting such news, but do not care to make any statement I suppose the Amalgamated officials know what they are doing. I would, of course," he added, "have preferred to see the workmen win." Nothing more conld .be gleaned from Mr. Powderly. Member of the executive board and Con

gressman-elect from Kansas, John Davis, said: I regret that the workmen did not win, bnt 1 think it is better to have this action to come now than later. - It teaches the workingmen this lesson: They can't tight money and go hungry: they can't whin Carnegie's millions while their stomachs are empty. Evils of this kind must be met at the ballot-box. They must defeat .the agents of the corporations when they are running for otlice. botne years agoour Kansas farmers thought they could get along by borrowing money at r or 7 per cent., but they have learned differently. Tbey have also learned that while experience is a sad teacher, it is an effective one. I think the Amalgamated Association aid all they couldand the best they could under the circumstances." Messrs. A. V. Wright and Jotfh Devlin took practically the same view of -the matter as did Mr. Davis, saying tbey were sorry the workmen did not win, but that it was better to give in now than later. H. F. Derapsey, of Pittsburg, one of the leading Knights of Pennsylvania, was mad and plainly showed it. 'Those men could have won if they had only held ont a little longer." said he. "I don't like the surrender a bit. The Amalgamated Association . is all right; it has done its best. Bat if it had not been for the men at the head of the Federation of Labor the Homestead workmou would have won. This strike has been run by that renegade Saranel Gompers, who is president of the Federation, and his followers. They could not conduct anything. 1 have nothing against the federation, but the men at the head of it are renegade fools. The Knights of Labor at Pittsburg have done more for the Homestead men than the whole' federation, outside of the Amalgamated Association. and we are still assisting them. Bat it is through Gompers that the strike has been declared oil, and it is his fault that the men did not win. Because of his inter ference a majority of the men frill not get hack in the mills. 1 don't like It a bit, aud mm free to say so." Late to-night Mr. Powderly give oat an Interview. What he said occupies a col umn in the morning papers. He connects the landslide on the 8th of November with Carnegieism pure and simple. He says the people do not dislike Harrison, nor do they especially love Cleveland. bat that they saw the trend of events as exemplified at Homestead, and thought that the quickest way to arrest them was to destroy the J arty in power. The Homestead troubles, Ir. Powderly said, were the resalt of obstinacy and a desire to rale without question. Friek Is a natural tyrant. In reply to the ques tion: "What do yon think of the labor Situation in the country to-dayf" Mr. Powderly said: "It never was better. The fact that hundreds of thousands of Republicans . voted for Cleveland against Harrison proves that." How the Knights Spent land ay. St. Louis, Nov. 2a Though Sunday is usually ft day of rest for workingmen, today was for many of the officers and dele gates attending the sixteenth general con vention of the Knights o! Labor a very busy one. Messrs. Powderly, Sovereign, Cavanaugb. Wright, Devlin and others In the afternoon addressed workingmen at East SL Louis. Belleville and other near-by cities, as well as several local or ganizations. Such committees as are not ret through their work pat in the day ar ranging it so it may be most speedily dis posed of. Uesides several committee re ports to be acted upon the General Cunven tion has yet to elect officers and select the place of next year's meeting. The election of officers will probably take place to-mor row and almost immediately thereafter it is thought the next meeting place will be se lected. It is possible that a final adjourn mrnt may behad to-morrow night, but the session will probably be prolonged until J uesday. It is thought Chicago will be e lected as the next place ot meeting. Failure of a Commission Merchant. Philadelphia, Nov. 2a The assignment of Marshall Phillips, commission merchant in cotton and yarn, trading as Marshall Phillips & C., was recorded in N'orristown yesterday. Mr. Phillips said that he could not give any figures as to assets and liabilities as yet. The assets consist chiefly of collectable accounts and stock on hau l. Although Mr. Phillips could not be found to-day. it was learned from other source that his liabilities will amount to about 00.CO0, with assets very much. smaller than that amount. Mr. Phillips's share ot his father's fortune amounted to about 1250,000, This snm. In addition to bis present liabilities, Mr. Phillips is said to have dissipated in the last three years in speculative enterprises.

WHITELAW BEII) EXPLAINS

The Mcdern Tendency Toward Socialism Ihe Chief Caosa of Republican Defeat. Since th Panic of 1S73, the Eiitor Says, IIa8 There Een Crqrj.'et and liscontenttWh.icu lias fJeen Growing Each Tear. New York. Nov. 20. The Tribune will say to-morrow: "The politician who attempts to explain the defeat is crying over spilt milk. The newspaper which tells 'how it was done' is whining. The writer of a political obituary has hardly an enviable task. A defeated party is snpposed to accept with philosophical resignation the rejection of put policies and with the calmness of the fatalist, tell himself that it 'was to have been.' The reasons given for the result of the recent election are as numerous as there, are differences m the mind of the two parties. To him that looks beneath the surface, there is evidence that the defeat of tho Kepnblioan party is not mainly due to 'unpopularity' of its candi dates, nor to the love which the people are said to bear for Grover Cleveland; nor to the MoKinley bill, nor to any desire on the part of the people for tree trade; nor because free silver is or is not wanted; not through the superb gener alship of the national Democratic commit tee was the victory won, nor was the battle lost through the lamentable incompe tency of the Republican leaders. The chief cause of the Republican defeat and Democratic Tictory ia the modern tendency toward socialism. "This atatement bv no means imDlies that the socialist propanganda has taken a hrm hold npon the citizens of the United States or that its tenets have but to be sown in American soil to bear an abundant harvest. They have not the slightest desire to overturn existing government: the ravings of the Anarchists they repudiate altogether. Hut since 1878, on black Friday, political and social conditions in the United States have been those of unquiet and discontent among certain classes. The Greenbaok. party then had its origin. It is within the last decade, however, that social discontent has manifested itself more markedly in the formation of political parties, all of which, according to the leaders of them, were destined to glorious futures when the Democratic and Republican parties should be wiped out of existence. This unsettled state of affairs showed itself in the formation of the Greenback, party, the Labor party, the Socialistic party, the Farmers' Alliance, and, finally, the People's party. lias a Good Opinion of Cleveland, Chicago, Nov. 20, Ex-Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, who has been in Chicago for several days, left to-night for California, accompanied by his family, where he will spend the winter. On the subject of the election he said: "Great political changes come to us as epidemics occasionally visit us. The Democrats made a brave stand on the tariff question, and they have fairly won. The result shows that the people want to try a change. As a result we Are bound to expect the Democrats to carry out their strong tariff' plank of the Chicago convention, tinder this decision it is but natural that a special session should be suggested to make anew tariff' law. Whatever may be done in regard to a special session or tariff legislation, I hrmiy believe that the Democrats will do what they believe to be for the best interests of the country. The Democratic parly, taken as a whole, is as patriotic as the Kepubllcan party, and 1 do not believe that disaster will follow the advent of the party in power. It would be nothing new forme to say that 1 esteem Mr. Cleveland as an able man. and believe that he is well equipped for the office to which he has been elected. He has sufficient foresight to hold in check any radical movement that might originate in the House." The Robin-Killing Parson Talks Politics. New York, Nov. 20. Before the regular sermon to-day the Rev. Thomas Dixon, jr., reviewed the results of the presidential election. Among other things, he said: "The man who thinks Cleveland's election is a partisan triumph is easily consoled. He was nominated without the aid of his party in New York. Hewaselected without the aid of his party in ew York. He has transferred the national contest from the sewers of New York city to the brad fields of the Nation, r or this nationnl deliverance we all may tbank God. Tammany has triumphed again in the city, but the role or i am many in the Nation win from this day grow beautifully less. New York is no longer the pivotal State of the Union, and on this the Union is to be congratu lated. It was an avalanche entirely too much of a good thing for the future of Tammany Hail, and for this promise we sing "Uiory to uod." "Where Am I At' Will Contest. Augusta, Ga., Nov. 20. The third-party men take "Tom" Watson's overwhelming defeat very hard. At a mass-meeting of the third party of the Tenth district at Thompson, Watson's home, a popular subscription fund was started to raise &5.000 to contest the election of Black to Con gress. It is rumored that the money, when colleoted. will be used to reooup Watson's broken fortune, as be expended all the money at his disposal in the campaign. bpecino charges are not stated, the indictment being a general one of fraud. Wat son's lawyer had previously filed notice of contest with the Governor. Harrity Not Yet Offered a Place. Philadelphia, Nov. 20. From a close friend of Mr. Harrity it was learned this evening that the story that Mr. uieveiana caa onerea mt, iiarnty a Cabinet portfolio during his visit on Wednesday is erroneous. According to Mr. Harrity' friends no such offer was made by Mr. Cleveland, but it is more than probable that Mr. Harrity will be tendered a seat in his Cabinet by Mr. Cleveland.

It Is a Plain Granite Cross, with No Ornamen tation Except a Copy of the Warrior' Badge. Newport, R. X., Nov. 20. The General Sherman monument, which was built near Westerly, R. I., is ready for shipment. It was designed by General Sherman himself and is to stand beside the granite cross. which was erected a year ago to the memory of his wife, in Calvary Cemetery, St. Louis. In height and finish the monument, by the , General's direction, corresponds with the cross. There is no or namentation, except on the front, where the General's well-known gold and silver com bination badge is represented consisting of a go Id pin, from which is suspended a ribbon of the national colors. The ribbon snpports an arro w, from whilh a triangle ia susnended. and to the triangle1 a gold shield is attached with an acorn pendant. On the shield is a star with a cartridgebox. The arrow, triangle, shield, star, cart-ride-box and acorn are each the emblem of one of the army corps with which General nberman was associated during the war. Below the badge are two furled nags one the headquarters banner of the general of the army, and the other the regulation national flag. It is a reproduction of two Hags as tbey stand in the General's late residence in New York city. Below the tiags is the following inscription: "William Tecum sell Sherman, General U. S.

QUICKER THAN FREE TRADE

Anderson's Tin-Plate Mill Destroyed by the Torch of an Incendiary. The Building Smeared with Oil and Then Fired An Industry That Was Grcs-ly Libeled by the Democratic Press. Special to the Iudianapolia Journal. Anderson, Ind., Nov. 20. Anderson's much-advertised industry, the tin-plate-mill, was destroyed by tire last night. Shortly after 8 o'clock night watchman Fakist, who was in the engine-room, was attracted to the front of the building by the noise of flames. To his amazement the front ot the building was on fire. Incendiaries had saturated the front of the building with .oil and applied the torch. With the wind blowing a stiff breeze from the west, in a few minutes the whole storage-room was on fire, tho flames having communicated with the big casks of palm oil. An alarm was turned in and the department responded, but as the mill is outside of the limit the firemen were powerless to stay the progress of the fire. The entire building- and its valuable machinery was burned, entailing a loss of upwards of $10,000, which was partially covered by insurance. The tin-plate-mill was originally erected by Mr. C 11. Orv is, but was recently leased to Messrs. C. C. Clarke and & VV. Allerton, of the Aroade tile-works, who had thoroughly eanipped the mill with new, modern and expensive machinery. The plant was in operation, having resumed work about ten days ago. A full force of men were at work and the proprietors allege that it was a paying venture. An attempt was made to fire the building last week, but the plan was discovered in time to be frustrated by the night watchman. The Democratic press ot this district, together with the Sentinel, have been greatly worried by the establishment of the plant in the gas belt. A big reward will be ottered for the discovery of the incendiary. Tho proprietors are nndeoided as to their future course. Tho event has created great indignation in this city, and if the guilty parties are caught they may be roughly handled. Quite a number of skilled people will be thrown oat of employment by the destruction of the mill. Other Losses by Fire. Arkansas Citv, Nov. 20. A very disastrous fire occurred here this afternoon, about 2 o'clock. The Desha Company's lumber-yards and planing-mill were burned. The loss will probably foot- up $500,000. There were quite a number of dwellings burned alno. The mill employed about three hundred men, and was owned by a ttoston company, in charge of A. Kimball, general manager. OwExsiioKO, Ky., Nov. 20.

Cincinnati, Nov. 20. The creditors of the estate of Archbishop Turcell held a stormy meeting this afternoon. There were present over three hundred men and women, i nd throughout the session the speakers were lreoaently interrupted by the d i tie rent claimants. Tho pension was devoted principally to the disoussion of a letter sent to the Pope. At a meeting held three months ago it was decided to write three letters one to the Pope, one to his special messenger. Archbishop Satolli. who is now making a tour of the United States, and one to Archbishop Ireland. The letters were alike, each asking the immediate intercession of the personage addressed in behalf of the creditors and calling for an early settlement of the litigation that has been pending fifteen years. Although sent three months ago as reg isteied mail, no response had been received from any of the messages. A committee renorted today that they ascertained from the postoffice authorities that the letters sent to Archbishop batolli and to Archbishop Ireland had been received by them, but all efforts to ascertain whether or not the Pope at Home had received the letter addressed to him proved futile. After a great deal of discussion the committee was ordered to continue its inquiry as to the registered letters to Home. It was announced that an order had been made for distribution to the creditors of $144,000, or m per cent, of the amount due. aud another order for the distribution of 3144,000, or 14 per cent, as a claim against the cathedral on Jan. 1 next. It was also ordered to push the suits against B. 13. Mannix, the administrator of the estate, Wants Free Trade in a Harry. Atlanta Constitution. In England they manage things differently.

WISDOM- OF THE CHINESE flow Cc-Operation Is Practiced and Applied in tbe Flowery Kingdom. Each Family Ccn tributes Its Share Steward, Cook and Treasurer Watch Each Other Poor Relations Levy on the Food. rail Mall Gazette. We are always hearing that there is much we can learn from the Chinese. Co operation, however, is one of those things which few of us would have expected to find among tbe number; bnt they can tell ns something about this, for they apply it in tbe most elaborate and ingenious way to many things that elsewhere are done by individual eflort. Their marriage and funeral feasts, for example, are all maintained by co-operation. A recent writer in China explains how this is done. . These festivals are especially Oriental, and are characteristic of the Chinese. Owing to the extent and Intricate ramifications of Chinese relationship, tho number of persons who must b invited is very large. If there is anything which the Chinese have reduced to an exact science, it is the business of eating. The sign of real friendship is to invite a man to a weal, and tbe expenses of weddings and funerals in the mere matter of eating must, from the extent and the frequency of the occasions npon which tbey are required, reduce any but a very atilueut family to poverty. The Chinese have long ago, therefore, bit upon a system by means of which wedding and funeral feasts become practicable. Each guest, or rather each family, is not only expected, but by a rigid code of social etiquette is required, to contribute to the expenses' of the ocoasion by a "share." This will sometimes bo in food, but the general practice is to bring money, according to' a scale which is perfectly understood by every one. In cities and large towns the business of managing a wedding or a funeral feast is conducted much as it would be in any country of tho West. A food-shop coutracta to deliver so many bowls of food of a definite quality and at a lixed prioe. But if the feast is to be on a large scale it is not unlikely that the cooking will be done on the premises by the professional caterers. It is usual to speak of an afiair of this sort as embracing so many "feasts," a "feast" denoting not a single individual, bnt the number who can sit at one table. This number, like everything Chinese, varies in dillerent places. When the feasts are provided by contract tbe establishment also furnishes waiters. Hut the number of families who are within the reach of facilities Mich as these is but a small proportion. For the rest thero is no recourse but to put the matter into the hands of certain experts to be found everywhere. Every village or group of villages can furnish a professional cook, who devotes the most of bis time to the conduct of affairs of this sort. SOME DRAWBACKS. The staff of persons into whose hands the business of arrangiug for the feast is committed is divided into three departments, or committees the stewards, the culicary department and the finance department. Each is a check upon the other two. Tun stewards purchase the supplies. If the dwelling admit of it, the articles which have been boueht for the feant are placed in h separate apartment, under the exclusive charge of one of the stewards, by whose order alone can anything be given out. . lint in practice it is found that at this point there is always a serious leak, fur many of the relatives and neighbors of tho family will send over their children to the store-room to "borrow." For a steward to refuse (as a foreigner would be likely to do) is to incur the ill will of tbe family which wishes to "borrow." and the only advantage to the- steward would be that he would be reviled, which no Chinese relishes. As a matter of practice, therefore, it is custom ary to give to him that asketb. That clandestine disappearance ot wine and bread cakes (the two most expensive items) on occasions of this sort, even before a single bowl of food has been set before a guest, is like tbe evaporation of water on a hot summer day, aud Is due to the fact that every family sutriciently well-to-do to have a large feast is surrounded .by a swarm of poor relations, who, on such occasion, are determined not to be ignored. A poor family ot the same surname as the host will stand at the door of tbe mansion where a great feast is in preparation, with bowls in band, demanding that a share of the good things in course of being served shall be given to them. The habit of levying tribute upon those who happen to be in a position to pay it is deeply rooted in Chinese life. It is always taken for granted by tbe Chinese that any family rich enough to spend a large amount of money on the funeral of a parent will be mercilessly pillaged on - that particular occasion. The reason is that at such a time the master of the bouse is theoretically overcome by grief, and ordinary propriety requires that he should take no part in the management, but should give his exclusive attention to the mourning rites. Even though he clearly perceives that everything is going wrong be most act as if be were blind and deaf and also dumb. Bereaved persons are sometimes so afraid of being pillaged on these occasions that they will keep colhns nnburied for years. It is the duty of the committee which looks after the finance to take chare of all sums brought by the guests, and to Keep a record. As soon as the "shares" have all been handedin and reckoned np, it is known how much the host is out of pocket by the afl ah, and this information is sometimes at once- announced to the guests, and if the amount is a large one, the host gets credit for doing business on an extensive scale, regardless of expenses. This gives him a certain amount of honor among his xteishbors, of a kind which is particularly prized. admiration wkll bestowed. It occasionally happenstthat a family is. able to reduce the expenses so that the contributions are large enough to cover them ond even to leave a margin. A man who has carried through an enterprise of this eort is regarded as worthy of a certain admiration, and not without reason, for the feast implies generalship of no mean order. Co-operative societies for the assistance of those who have ianerala are of common occurrence, and are of many different kinds. Sometimes each family belonging to the league paja into the common fund a monthly subscription, and is entitled, upon tbedeatb of an adult member of the family, to draw from this fund a sum for defraying the expenses. Thus, a man whose psrents are well advanced in life forms an association, each member of which is under obligation upon ! occasion of the death of a parent to con tribute a fixed snm. Ihe membership will thus be composed of those who have aged parents. At each f nneral all the nubscribera to the fond nre present ex officio. Each appears in mourning costume and mourns as would become a tear relative of the deceased. Tbe pretence of ao larice a number of "mourner" in addition to those really near of kin uiven a great deal of importance to tbe individual whose parent baa died, and this is, perhaps, quite as attraotive a feature of tbe arrangement as tbe financial assi'tance. Associations of this nature are not tinknown at weddinira. A family, for example.
