BIX men, members of the Executive' Board of the local lodge of the Knights of Labor, have been arrested at Wyandotte, Kan., charged with wrecking a train on the morning of April 26, and causing the death of two persons. The affair has caused great excitement among the Knights at Kansas City. s \ The Boston Journal of Commer caisTO* - sponsible ter the ntatefneht that a firm in Chicago is building a machine that is expected to roll out a chain from a solid iron bar without the necessity of welding a single link. The bar is to be passed through h set of four rollers which squeeze it into a series of links forming a perfect chain. The principle is in some respects the same as that already employed in obtaining a chain by casting, but with a great advantage over-the product of that process in point of tenacity.... A Canadian coach was robbed by six masked inen twenty-five miles south of Humboldt Station, N. W. T., the highwaymen abstracting $20,000 from the mail bags and, it is alleged, killing the driver. The Chicago Civil-Service League has forwarded to Washington a complaiut that all the members of the local board are Democrats, and that about three removals for political reasons are made every two working days in the Poatoffice and Custom House. Commissioner Oberly intends to recommend that one or more Republicans be placed on tne board. Thomas Power O’Connor. M. P., sends a cable dispatch to the Chicago Times, in which he says: The feeling is Increasing in political circles here that tne Tories will try to remain In office by the support of the Irish vote in Parliament. There are numerous indications that the attempt will be made. This can be done in many ways without at tlrst compromising tne leaders of the Tory party, should that oe desired. It is probable that the matter will be approached in such a way aB to leave tho door open- to retreat in the eventof failure.and enable the first Lord o 1 the Treasury to deny all knowledge of anything of the sort. The indications are that part of the price offered for Irish support will be an Irish land bill acceptable to the Nationalists. Mr. Parnell, has already stated that the landlords of Ireland will never again have such terms as Gladstone offered them, and the Nationalists were willing at the time to indorse. It is difficult, therefore, to see what inducements the Torieß can offer the Nationalists in connection with land purchase that will not at tho same time rend their own party in twain and alienate the LiberaUUuionista. Difficult as the task will be, there is good reason to suppose that such a bill is to be prepared, and that the Irish will havethe choice of rejecting it and remaining in opposition, or accepting it and keeping the Tories in office against all comers. The oleomargarine bill was the subject of a long and warm discussion in the Senate on J uly 19, Messrs. Miller, Edmunds, and Van Wyck advocating, and Messrs. Vance, Veßt, and Ingalls opposing the measure. In the course of the debate Mr. Ingalls replied to some remarks by Mr. Miller, saying that his (Miller's) humor was very much like the attempt of a hippopotamus to dance on a slack rope. (Laugnter.J The Senator from New York had seen fit to present him (Ingalls) as a country peddler, dealing in bogus jewelry and “elixirs of life.’’ lu reply he- wished to say that he had never stood before the Senate advocating a measure in which he had the strongest personal interest—as the Senator from New York had done. That Senator was in the dairy business. He had a dairy farm and a herd of dairy cattle, putting its produce on the market as the product of Oak Hill or Oak Deaf creamery. And he used the whole power of his official station as Senator and as chairman of a committee to get the measure away from tho committee to which it belonged and referred to his own committee, and he stood on the floor of the Senate day after., day advocating a measure which was to, increase directly the profits of his own product. A more shameful spectacle had never been presented to the American people than hod been presented in regard to this measure. In the other house it had been under the leadership of the chairman of a committee who was himself efigaged ih tße dairy bOTtncFS' p ond trrthi s body that gentleman was reinforced by the Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture (Mr. Miller), who was engaged in the same business, and who was to profit by the legislation. Mr. Miller, apparently laboring under great excitement,. rose to reply. He denied having referred to the Senator's (Ingali’s) calling in early life, and went on to say that whether this bill became a law or not it would not add one farthing to any profit which he could possiblv receive. The House’of Representatives, after adopting an amendment providing that the guns, projectiles, etc., purchased shall be of American manufacture, Sussed the fortifications appropriation bill. Mr. lorrison offered a concurrent resolution for the final adjournment of Congress on July 28, and it was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means., ■
