The decision of First Controller Durham, that all iucreases and decreases in the legis- lative bill take effect from the beginning of the fiscal year, causes a good deal of objection in certain quarters where reduc- tions are made. In one instance the rent of a building by the government at $2,000 per year is redneed to $1,000. The build- Ing was occupied as heretofore duriug July, and now that the owner finds that he can be puld for that month only at tne’ rate of 31,000 per year, he objects strenuously claiming that he would not have rented the building at the reduced figures had he known that the price was to be reduced. The pay of the charwomen in all the departments is increased from $180 to $240 per year by the biil,and they are delighted that the inerease takes effect from July Ist. Where new offices are created by the bill, Judge Durham holds that the salaries begin from the Ast of August. Government Employes at Elections. SOLICITOR GENEKAL JENKS ON THE PRESI- DENT’S ORDER. ‘ United States Marshal Gross, of Louisville, Ky., hazing asked the Department of Justice if he would be allowed, under the President's order, to vote ata primary election for a con- gressional candidate, Solicitor General Jenks replied as follows: “The circular referred to in yours of the 14th in-tant is sufficiently clear to be its own interpreter. It does not demand an abdication of civil rignts, por re- quire a renunciation of the duties of the citi- zen, but the official influence of the officer, it doubtiess intends, shall be entirely divorcea from party politics. Itis not possibly within the purview of my duties to determine what h case under ail the circumstances of life the citizen Who holds an office should do aud what he should refrain from doing, but an honest purpose, in good faith, to earry out the clear intent of the circular according tw the best judgment of the officer wiil, as a rule, be the best guide in its observance. ee ‘The Conterence at Montello.

McCants Stewart wrote to the President that he appreciated the rebuke which he gave the narrow-minded men ot both parties in re- appointing Mr. Matthews to succeed Frederick Douglass; that his administration was liberal- izing and dividing the colored vote. He re- ceived the following answer: EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, August 11, 1886 “My DEAR StR—I cannot resist the tempta- tion to absolutely steal time enough to ac- knowledge the receipt of your gratifying letter in relation to the reappointment of Mr. Mat- thews, I very much hope that this act will not be regarded asin any way defiant to the Sen- ate or as an attempt to appear heroic. 1 have deemed the question involved in this matter as one rising above politics, and as offering a lest of good faith and adherence to pledges— nothing more or less. When this thing is put face wo face there should be no shuffling. It is absurd to promise all and perform morning: If the colored man is worthy of a promise he is absolutely entitled to its fulfillment by every honorable man. I am glad you are pleased, but fail to see how 1 am eniitled to especial credit for being honest. Yours traly, GROVER CLEVELAND, “To T. McCants Stewart.” ‘vee. War Department Changes.

PARNELL THANKS THE CONVENTION—A MEETING IN CHICAGO Last NIGHT. Mr. Parnell has sent the following cable message to Judge Fitzgerald, the newly-elected President of the Irish National League of America; “I thank the Chicago convention for its en- couragement. The ratification by the conven- tion of our policy and action and the order, union, and moderation of the proceedings have created a profound impression here, and will udd great strength to our position.” ‘There was another great outpouring of Irish- Americans at the artillery armory on the lake front in Chicago last evening w hear addresses by Michael Davitt and the Irish pariiamentai delegates. Before the proceedings began Patri Exan was presented with a service of plate wrought by Irish hand and in Ireland, Repre- sentative panels of Pennsylvania, and Gov- grnor Oglesby. of Illinois, were among the speakers. W. tiiam O'Brien, M, P., was also one the speakers.

Railroad Ruus Into the Hagerstown Accommodation. THE AIR BRAKES FAIL To WORK—SEVERAL PERSONS INJURED, BUT NO ONE SERIOUSLY— A TALK WITH BOTH ENGINEERS AND THE EX- PERIENCE OF A PASSENGER, What might have been a serious raflroad ac- eldent occurred this morning at 9:45 o'clock on. the Metropolitan branch of the B. and O. rail- road where it crosses M street. The Chicago express came round the Y at its usual rapid rate of speed, and coming upon the track of the Metropolitan branch, it ran down under full head betore stopping to back into the depot. While going at this rapid rate, David Silas, the engineer, saw the Hagerstown accommodation standing on the track ahead of him waiting to follow his train up tothe depot, He at once endeavored to check the speed of the train by Putting on the air brakes, but found to his dis- may that they would not work. He then whistled down brakes, but still the train went plunging madly on. Mr. Chas. Stuart, thé engineer of the Hagerstown train, was, in the cab using the oil can when he saw the danger thut threatened, and as quickly as pos- sible began to reversé his engine and move down on the track. He was, however, too late, ‘as the express came crashing into his train, and as it struck the engine he was thrown froma the cab by the shock, the fireman, John Smith, fol- lowing his chief, The shock was terrific, com- pletely smashing in the front of the Hagerstown. engine, and driving the tender completely through the front part of the baggage cars. The Passengers In the three cars attached to the train were all shaken up and greatly terrified. Shrieks and cries were heard on ali sides, Mrs. Ellen Howes, an old lady living at 2028 M street, West Washington, was severely cut in the forehead. A small son of T. W. Hess, U.S. A., was cut on the top of his bead, and a young lady was slightly hurt. The police and healta department were at once notified, und they were soon on the ground with ambulances and patrol wagons, and the persons above men- toned were taken care of. Meanwhile the passengers on the eight cars comprising the Chicago express were adjusting themselves after the tumbling about which ttey had experienced. Fortunately no one was injured. ‘The engine was badly used and the lower part of the baggage car was twisted into splinters, and before the police arrived some of the people living in the vicinity were securing contributions to their winter supply of kindling wood. Fireman Rainshower was the only person hurt on this train and he was cut and bruised to a considerable extent. In a short time a yard engine was sent down and brought the cars of the western bound train to the depot, when the ngers were trans- ferred to other trains. The Hagerstown train, however, aiter being struck ran back under & partial head of steain some distance down the Tallroad, where the people alighted and. made the best of their way tothe city. A number of the passengers were from the campmeeling at Washington Grove. STATEMENT OF ENGINEER STUART. ‘The engineer of this train, Mr. Stuart, was found by a STax reporter seated along the track at the side of his disabled engine, talking about the accident. He sald: “I was waiting Jor the express to come out of the Y somewhat, farther down the road than usual, and while standing there I saw it coming down the track atfull speed. AL once I reversed the engine and started “her, but she struck us, and then I was thrown back and something struck me on the sideand I was thrown out of my cab. ‘The engine hada’t tnuch steam on and she ran down the track until halted by the grade.” The fireman, Mr. Smith, Was not burt, and Joseph Spence, the bagguye master, was the only person in that car, and he escaped injury, except a good shaking up. STATEMENT OF ENGINEER SILAS. David Silas, the engineer of the Chicago ex- Press, who made a very narrow escape, sald to a Sra reporter that he was coming down the Y at the usual rate of speed and when he saw the Hagerstown train in front of him he tried to put on the air brakes, but found that they would not work. The other brakes could not work quickly enough to prevent collision, At balfpast eleven the engine and one car of the Chicago and the entire Hagerstown train were still on tho track, and aSTaR Porter asked the agent, Mr. Chesley, what the extent of the loss. responded that he didn’t know, and added that he didn’t know anything, & statement which in a calmer moment ‘he would perhaps be unwilling to make. A PASSENGER'S EXPERIENCE. A gentleman who was on the incoming train said, in conversation with a STak reporter this morning: “I was onthe smoking car, which was a combination of baggage; Our train came toa stop out near the Boundary, as is frequently done before golng on tothe depot, The train had been stationary a minute or so, when some gentlemen who were looking out of the car win- dows jumped up excitedly and rushed tor the Tear door. At the same time a men rushed in from the baggage compartment shouting for the passengers to get off. The train then began to move backwards, and in an instant the col- lision occurred. We were all thrown about pretty miscellancously, but no one in the smoker was very seriously injured, aithough a number were cut and bruised. I stepped out immediately on the platiorm, and in respouse to the warnings of a man running along beside the car, jumped off. All the time the rate of the tral seemed to be increasing. As tne en- gine went past I saw that the engineer and fire- men had jumped off, as had also the conductor and other employes.’ The last I saw of the train it was going rapidly around the curve with no one on the engine.” THE INJURED PASSENGERS. Mr. Alfred Ray, a large land-owner near For- est Glen, when he jumped from the train,rolled down the steep embankment, and it may be has sustained serious injury, and a lady on one of the rear cars was badly cut, George A. Jeffries, living at Knowles station, on the Metropolitan branch, was injured about. bis head and hips. He was removed to the depot in the patrot wagon. ‘homas, eed was not seriously injured, although he suffered great pain from a broken rib, le wus removed at once to the hospital. Mi Crossen, of Clitton, Virginia, received parcel GE the body, and had her thumb sprained, ‘James Reed was thrown from his seat and had his side injured.

The Experiments to be Made at the Agricultaral Department. NEW MACHINERY FOR REELING SILK FROM THE COCOONS TO BE TRIED—THE STATE OF THE SILK INDUSTRY IN THIS COUNTRY— WHAT IS HOPED FOR THE FUTURE. Considerable inferest having been aroused by the announcement of the establishment of a silk factory at the Agricultural department, a Stax reporter called upon Mr. Philip Walker, special agent of the division of entomology, who is charged with carrying out the details of the work, and elicited the following informa- tion: For three years past Congress has appropria- ted a sum of money to be used by the commis- sioner of agriculture in endeavoring to estab- lish the cultivation of silk in the United States. Part of this money has been employed in 1ook- ing over the ground and inaking experiments preliminary to the more systematic ones which it is now ihe purpose of the commissioner to undertake. ‘These new experiments will be conducted under the authority of a clause in the last agricultural appropriation bill author- izing the trial, at some point in the District of Columbia, ot some new machinery for reeling silk from the cocoon automatically. THE SILK INDUSTRY of the United States, in most of its branches, 1s one Which, thanks toa high protective tariff, has been established upona firm foundation; but for raw material of the best class the silk throwster and weaver have been obliged to seek forelgn markets. There are two crades of this raw fnaterial, commonly calied spun and raw silk. The former is produced irom sill Waste and plerced cocoons, and, after prelimi nary operations of maceration aud carding, is spun somewhat after the manner of cotton. ‘nis operation has been successtully carried out for some years by several important estab- lishments in Connecticut, Pennsylvania and elsewhere, and the industry may be suid to be firmly established. Bui as good unplerced cocoons are not used in this work there still remains no outlet in the United States for this product, and the officials of the department of agriculture have found that it was necessary, in order to make the cul- ture of silk @ success, that they should also assist in the establishment of « market for the choicest product of the silk-raiser—the whole or unplereed cocoon. From these cocoons is Produced raw silk. It is needless here to go Into the details of the process by which the continuous filaments of several cocoons are un- wound and united into # strong, elastic, and well-rounded thread of raw silk, though’ It is this kind of work that is to be performed in the annex to the agricultural building during the coming year, THE GREATEST DIFFICULTY in reeling silk in America, andsone which has thus far been insurmountable, is of a financial nature, arising from the superior prices which we pay for labor. Until within a comparatively short period the machinery employed in this ‘operation has been, in principle, butlittle more improved than the spinning-wheel of our an- cestors. Some tew years ugo, however, an American, Mr. Edward W. Serrell, jr., of New York, undertook to solve ‘the probiem of the automatic reeling of silk. It was # ditticult one, but it appears tuat a satisfactory erd has been reached aiter the expenditure of several years’ labor and considerable sums of money. The outcome is a silk reel, which is now being put into operation in the South of France through the co-peration of some of the leading banking houses of Lyons. This machinery makes so greata saving in labor as to largely subordi- hate Unig side of the question, and itis tor this Teason that the silt raisers of our country hope by Its aid to bring their efforts in establishiug silk culture to a successful termination. The commissioner of agriculture hus been so fortu- nate as to obtain a few of these machines, with which he hopes to be able to produce reeled sili with profit during the coming season. ‘There are & good many cocoons raised In this couutry: now, though tuelr quality will be largely im- proved as the experience of the growers in- Creases, and the commissioner has ixsued a cir- cular advising silic raisers tuat he wiil, aller the first of October, be able TO PURCHASE THEIR COCOONS in limited quantities. It is regretted that only ® portion of this year’s crop can be receivéd, but | the establishment will be oniy of an experi- mental. nature, and the object of the depart- ment is more to determine whether gitk can be profitably reeled in this country with the most improved machinery than it is to furnish an outlet tor all the cucgons that may be produced. Ir the experiments contemplated are brought to a successiul issue the increasing of the home Market for cocoons may then be looked into with greater hopes for success. ‘The market for the product of this establishment is already an active one, as we imported during the last fiscal year raw silk to the Value of nearly twenty million of dollars. DISTRIBUTING EGGS AND LITERATURE. Though the work mentioned here will be the most important of this nature that the depart- ment will carry out during the coming year, the entomologist, Prof. C. V. Riley, who { charged with thi8 branch of the department's labors, will continue the work done in past Years ‘of distributing sil worm eggs and seri- cultural iniormation and literature. He bas recently issued a new munual on stik culture, wnich is now being gratuitously distributed: This is a revision of the old pamphlet published by the department, to which much new mate- rial ofa valuable nature has been added, It is learned, too, that the Women’s ilk Cul- ture association, of 1222 Arch street, Philadel phia, has also received congressional aid, and will’ provably purchase cocoons during’ the coming winter. a s0e.

They Accuse the Government of Act- ing in Bad Faith. Special Cable Dispatch to THe EVENING Stan, Lonpow, August 21.—Gladstoue is in what Is known as agreat state of mind because of the unprecedented course of the tories in indicat- ing inthe Queen's speech that they had no Irish policy, but would take time to prepare one, and then immediately producing one in the commons, It fills his precedent-loving mind with disgust. What he feels strongly he is always sure to say strongly sooner or tater. Moreover he is gradually reaching the boiling point in regard to their action in the commons. It must be remembered that between the two front benches there exists a distinct if unwrit- ten code of tactics with which each party is con- sidered in honor bound tocomply. The chiet feature of this code is the proper alternation of speakers, Last night Harcourt, who, when at his best, is a formidable debater, delivered a powerful attack on behaif of the opposition. T. P. O'Connor spoke on behuif of the Parnellites so effectively that Gladstone sent a triend to congratulate him. According to parliamentary precedent a minister of high rank should have replied later, Churchill sent a note across to Morley to say that Hicks-Beach would reply at 10. This of course coming trom a leader of the house was implicitly believed, and arrange- ments were made accordingly. A young radical Cornish member, named Conybeare, of no par- Nameutary position, was put up to fill the gap. With a great want of discretion he spoke for an hour anda half, till five minutes past eleven. By that time Beach had disappeared, and there was a deadiock.” Meeting Churchill tn th lobby Morley said: “Whatever does this mean?” ‘Courebill replied thatthe debate had sunk to sv low a level Beach could not think of taking part in it. This will probably sound in America more or ‘less far-fetched as a ground for indig- nation, It creates among ex-ministers greut indignation, us showing the impossibiilty of recking on the good tuith of the government. I am able to state that ainong the liberal leaders there is no intention to make a fight at present. ‘They see no reason for immediate interierence, With regard to the Iris there is nothing to prevent them debating the address just as long us they like. 1 know this is Gladston view. ‘The government bave as a matter produced an Irish policy, apparently contat ing the whole of their views. Parnell therefore has a periect right to discuss these to any ex~ tent. ‘Tleara the present debute will last until Monday week.

THE POLICE SAY THEIR WORK HAS JUST BR- GUN—MORE ARRESTS EXPECTED—A GERMAN EDITOR'S VIEW OF THE TRIAL, Curcaco, August 21.—There was a meeting last night of all the female relatives of the sentenced anarchists. They were reintorced by men from all parts of the city, and Miss Spies subsequently sald that over $4,000 was spb scribed to the fund to carry the case tothe supreme court, ies auld: “We have been watched and hounded by detectiver and newspaper men until we are nearly harrassed to death. But we got away with them all this time and have had Our meeting. ‘The law may beat us by Judge Gary's ruliogs, and by the ‘special pleas ma by Mr. Grinnell, but the supreme court never will indorse or rule the same way. Judge Pbillips and others have told us that. Think of my brother being hanged when he was only trying to do the best he could to help the work- ingmen.” ‘twas reported that Mrs. Holmes made an energetic plea to the meeting in favor of await ing the decision of the supreme court. ine women said that they hud ro fears ot starvation or being distrained for rent, as the ‘oppressed of all nations would come to their succor. ‘When the meeting dispersed it was an early morning hour, and the women all embraced and declared tiat they would stand together. TO GO TO THE SUPREMECOURT. W. H. Parsous, brother of the condemned anarehist, said toa reporter last night that the ease would be carried to the Supreme Court of the United States if necessary. It is very well understood that the leading exception will be the refusal of Judge Gury togive for the defense Uhe instruction which gave to ail men the right to peaceably ussemble, and to repel by force any’ attempt either by the authoritiesor private individuals to break up such a meeting. Li the state supreme court overrules them’ on this int uhey will uppeal to the United Staves Supreme Court on the ground that the question is a constitutional one. A GERMAN EDITOR'S VIEWS OF THE TRIAL, The Lllinots Staais Zeitung in its leading edi- torlal to-day says: “The great American repub- lic has announced to the whole world, trough the mouths of twelve honest men in Chicago, that freedom is not synonymous with the over- throw of the principles of well-ordered govern- mental and social states, and that it under stands how to protect the true American tree dom against that contemptible European outgrowth—anarchy. The suddest thought for us German-Americans is the fact. that the ‘majority of the men who, through the terrors of the Haymarket, have brought upon themselves the conteinpt and unger the entire republic, of our tather- land, and the home of our children, are Ger- mans, Ofcourse the majority of the American people have become couvinced that the German. anarehists form but a very small minority of the German American element, and is totally foreign to it, The judicial demoralization ot anarchy in America will prove its most potent influence upon the American and German- American workingmen. Through the strong decision of the twelve Jurors in Chicago, the great American workingmen’s movement, in its legal and justifiable strife for the ennoble- ment of the dignity of labor, has been freed from a fearful and bloody oppression, beneath which it has suffered since the 4th ot May.” THE WORK BUT BARELY COMMENCED. Captain Michael Schaack, who is credited with having obtained thé chief evidence inst the condemned anarchists, was asked if the police were now through with their labors, “Through,” said the officer, “why they have but barely commenced.” “You mean you have others who areindicted ‘on the same ¢l “You mustn't ask too much.
