The object is to advance the cause of good roads in America, and to develop a more practi cal system of improving our highways, best methods of construction, and to en courage tho public and private support for tho same. The congress will be held in the permanent Memorial Art Palace in thn Lake Front Park. T. Butter- worth, of Chicago, is Chairman of the committee. The labor troubles in Lancashire, England, which ended by a compromiset take rank as the greatest struggle be- i twecn capital and labor which the world j has seen. The campaign lasted cwenty weeks, involved directly and indirectly 125,000 employes, and cost in los3 of wages alone $10,000,000. Each side was t equally willing at the outset to engage ; in a test of strengta, and at last they both parties to the conflict have hald'ali , desire for fight taken out of them, and - the advantages of mutual compromise arc for the time being fully conceded. The operatives have in the terms of 1 peace conceded just a shade more than the masters, but there has been really no victory for either side. The plans agreed upon for settling future disputes seem to be the best ever devised thus far. M They assure the necessary stability in thej r cotton market by - limiting all future cnav.ges to nve per cert, at intervals oi not less than one year. A strange and grostes(jue ngurc disap pears from the upper ranks of the British nobility with the death of the Duke of Bedford. Succeeding to the dukedom on the suicide of his father only two years ago he has, according to the New York Sun, exhibited in an intensified form the Russell family traits. He was practically a recluse and never had any intimate associates. Though enormously rich he was a miser. Scores of acres of the most valuable property in the heart of London belong to his estate. His pas sion lor saving manifested itself when a boy at school and t remained with him till the day of his death. Never a day passed without his saving something and reclvcnin how much he had saved. After his succession to the dukedom and - ,va'st property accompanying it the pas ; sion increased. His one absorbing thought was to pile up further hoards, to find new possibilities of retrenchment, to form ways of increasing the unneeded surplus, and every penny he3 continued to invest by the best advice procurable in the soundest securities. During the last few years he had become physically al most a monstrosity, lie was well pro- ' portioned and active as a young man, . I 1 P A. but indulgence oi a most gluttonous appetite soon, made him corpulent. The very corpulence that made more exercise 1 necessarv prevented exercise at ali. Ol late years his habits havo been most se dentary. For days together he would not go outside his house. His appetite : was huse, gross, enormous, Gargantuan. i Tift ate. a3 an eminent man who knev him better perhaps than any other de- scribed it, like a wolf. He was reputed to be the largest and heaviest feeder in .. ing say it was a sign never to ue ior gotten, iiean, urease ui iuuS siuuuiuy was the immediate cause of death, but he really died of gluttony. ., CAPITAL NEWS AND GOSSIP. The President's Clear Statement has a Quieting- Effect on the Finan cial Agitation. Washington. D.C. The authoritative statement of Mr. Cleveland in -which he announced the present and future policy of the Administration relative to the U3e of the gold reserve, has taken the edge re A. i iL.i. r -1 i j il. i. vu. toe wcucmem ma louoweu me act the Secretary of the Treasury in d.p- ping into the reserve fund. If there has been any dancer of a financial flurrv, that l iti u6 i der the interpretation of Mr. Cleveland's statement the reserve is to be treated simply as so much cash in the treasury, and whether the aggregate rises or falls a few millions a day becomes a matter of little concern. Consequently very little interest was manifested at the department in regard to the financial situation. Some offers of gold were received from the West and accepted, and Treasurer Jordan, at New York, it was reported, had aleo received a considerable amount of gold certificates. Mr. Leech, c director of the United States mint, and recognized authority on finances, said: "I look upon the state ment by the President as a plain and for cible announcement of the determination of the Administration to maintain sold payments at .all hazards, and that it the supply of gold at the disposal of the treasury should at any time be insufficient for the purpose, the credit of the Gov- eminent would be used to secure the nec- essary amount. As such it will go a long 7 towards restoring confidence and averting any financial difficulty. " THE GOLD OVERPLUS $900,000. The pet gold in the Treasury, over and above the $100,000,000 gold reserve, is $900,000. This accounts for the gold taken from the New York sub treasury for export and also for gold offered and accepted from Boston bankers. It does, not, however, include the gold which was offered to the government from San Francisco and Roanoke, Va. These amounts will appear in the Treasury fig ures when the actual exchange is made. Secretary Carlisle is much encouraged bundle of papers, presumably bearing on the conference of New York bankers with Assistant Treasurer Jordan. In the incomplete condition of that matter, the Secretary did not deem it prudent to ex press an opinion. A HUNDRELV LIVES LOST. And Five Times that Many Injured is Oklahoma's Story. Guthrie, O. T. The list of fatalities larcrpr Pflrn nnnr Tn fho Awa of n f nrl 17c- i - t near Norman thirty-four bodies have been prepared for burial. Several more were found this morning, and half a score of people are still missing. One hundred and fifty people were injured, sixty-eight of whom will die. Near Pur- cell eleven people, all members of one Catholic congregation, are dead. At the totvn of Case the storm swept away nearly every building, and eight people were killed. At Lanstone two are dead. At Cimeron City four are dead, two dying and twelve injured. East of there, two families, numbering five and six. respectively, perished, and in the extreme eastern part of Payne county it is believed that nearly a score were killed. The list of the dead will surely aggre- gate one hundred, and that of the injur- ed five times that manv. w - Colored Women Licensed to Practice Medicine in Virginia, Richmond, Va. The second woman to be licensed to practice medicine in this State during the history of the Corn- monwealth is Sarah G. Jones, a mulatto of this city. She is a graduate of the medical school of Howard College, Washington City. Doctress Jones was Que of a class of five, who were before the State board of medical examiners for examination. She stood well in Tall branches, except anatomy, and although she did not make the minimum mark, she was passed by the board. The first lady doctor passed the board three years ago. Doctress Jones expects to practice exclusively among colored people. , Cotton Silled in Mississippi. Jackson, Miss, From all portions of thp.

The Brazilians manned yards just before firintr, and the lonu lines of THE VESUVIUS, had ceased, and while the clouds hung low overhead there were indications that led the anxious spectators to hope for the appearance of the sun. At 1 :G0 the first boom of the ten-inch gun on tho Mian tonomoh announced that the Dolphin with the President on board was passing up between the two columns of war ves sels. The roar of the Mtentonmoh's twenty-one guns was followed by a salute ' from the Brazilian ships Republica and J Tiradentes. The Dolphin replied to the blue jackets stood out against the white : background of smoke. The Dolphin moved at a slow and stately gait, and a ! salute of each ship was distinct and sharp. The Aquidaban, flagship of the Brazilian fleet, finished saluting at 1 :40, and the Neuvo Espana took its return. The Dol phin was followed at a distance of about 500 feet by the Blake, and she in turn by the Miantonomoh.
