CLOAK MAKERS’ STRIKE. It Reaches a Termination aad the Hands Go Back to Work. Rev. Dr. Morais and George Randorf, who have been interesting themselves in the wel- fare of the striking Philadelphia cloak makers, aunounced yesterday that the controversy had been terminated. The men state that they re- turn at asligntadvance in the schedule of rates, with the promise of another raise in the near future. On their part they concede th ployment of persons not connected with the unions. They considered that their being taken on again to work upon such an under- Standing was a victory for the operatives over the manufacturers. In answer to inquiries at Blum Bros,, Market street beiow Broad. Mr. G. Blum said that the manufacturers’ understanding of the matter was that the hands returned to work uncondi- tionally. ‘The first offer to compromise bad proposed that the operatives return, the man- ufacturers agreeing to take back erybody and discharge the “scabs.” To that the manu- facturers replied that they couldn't discharge those who had been faithful to them or who had rallied to their assistauce when they needed aid. Then, through Dr. Morais and Mr. Ran- dorf, the operatives offered to return uncon- ditionally. That proposition the manufactur- ers accepted. Saturday the bands did not re- turn to work, bat yesterday they resumed their oceupation and everything Went on smoothly. ; Asked about the colored people and their in- terests Mr. Blum said that they had fitted up Yory nicely for themselves a house at 12th and Locust streets, where they would carry on the work which the manufacturers bad promised togive them. He thought ther» would be work enough for both classes of operatives. A GIGANTIC SCHEME. Passengers to be Conveyed From Chi- cage to London in Seven Days. The most gigantic railway scheme ever pro- posed in Canada, with the single exception of that of the Canadian Pacific railway, is now about to engage a very large share of public attention. The promoters are chiefly French and English capitalists, though Sir Hechter Langevin, K.C., M.G.. minister of public works of the Dominion, and Sir Charles Tupper. bigh commissioner for Canada in London, are largely interested parties. The scheme is to build a railway eastward from Quebec, some 850 miles, to St. Charles bay, on the Labrador coast, from which point larg» steamships are expected to make the voyage to Milford Haven, in Wales, inthree and one-halz days. By this route it is expe :‘ed that passengers and perwhable freight can be carried from ‘Chicago to London inside of seven days. It is proposed by the company. which calls itself the North Canadian Atlantic Railway and Steamship Company, to construct a new rail- way from Milford to London. The capital of the company is $20,000,000, but the company is authorized to bond its road and issue deben- tures for the purchase of steamshipa. The provisional directors include Sir Henry A. Isaacs, lord mayor of London: Sir Robert N. Fowier, M.P.. banker; Thomas Woods, chair- man of the Miiford docks; Charies G. Mott, director of the Great Western Railway; Wm. R. Balch, banker, of London, and Sir Douglass Fox. the eminent English engineer, who it consulting engineer to the company. The he: ofiice of the company is in England and the English directors have sent out one of their nutaber. Mr. Balch, to make preliminary ar- Tangements. a lie os SPREAD OF THE CHOLERA.

The Coroner’s Jury Throws the Re- sponsibility on the Company. The coroner's investigation of the causes of the Mount Penn Gravity railroad accident be- gan at 10 o'clock yesterday in Reading. The jury met at 9:30, viewed the bodies of Messi Rettew and Levan and proceeded to the city hall, where the testimony was heard. H. Wil- lis Bland represented the Mount Penn Gravity Railroad Company, who had a stenographer on hand to take the proceedings. After hearing witnesses the jury rendered the following verdict: ‘After long deliberation and a careful review of the evidence, the jury con- clude that the fact thatthe 8:05a. m. train stuck at the cemetery curve admonished all concerned that there was danger with the brakes. To put the blame on the conductor or the brakeman might be reasonable, but they should not bear the responsibility in acting as, agents for the company, which, itis admitted. | employed brakemen and car inspectors who knew nothing about the brake tately adopted and which had not stood the test of experience.” ‘The condition of Mrs. W.

Loxvox, August 9.—In the matter of personal appearance there are two quite different Will- iams. Those who see the German emperor on @ state occasion think of him as almost a tall man, with a stern; thoughtfal face and the most distinguished bearing of any sovereign in Europe. He holds himself with arrow-like straightness, bears his uniform or robes with Proud grace and draws his features into a kind of mask of imperial dignity and reserved wis- dom and strength very impressive to the be- holder. It is what I may call this official counte- nance of his with which the general public is familiar, for he assumes it in front of the pho- tographer's camera, just as he does on parade, at formal fuuctions. and even in his carriage when he drives through the streets. I don't know that we should cavil at this. One great part of an emperor's business is to look like an ‘emperor, BUT IN PRIVATE LIFE, when the absence of ceremonial permits him to unbend, we see quite another William. He does not now give the impression of being a tall man, and his face wears a softened and kindly expression, prone to break into an ex- tremely sweet and winning smile. When this smiling mood is upon him he looks curfously like his uncle, the Duke df Connaught, althoug! at other times the resemblance ia not apparent. As a boy he was very white skinned, with pal flaxen hair. Years of military out have burned his face now to a tawny brown, id his hair is of average darkness, but his small and habitually curled mustache is of a light yellowish color. A friend of mine who studied him closely during a whole day when he visited Russia two years ago described him at the morning review or troope as carrying himself almost Pompously erect and wearing @ countenance of suc! gloomy severity that everybody was afraid to approach him, and the officers who saw him for the first time jokingly whispered to one an- Other thata new Wiliam the Taciturn had come int> being. But in the afternoon, when the ezarina presided over a tittle garden party, limite 1almost to circle of royalty, William app-ared in as at und jaunty holida: tume, smoked cigarettes continucusly, and ghed and chatted with everybody as gayly d noisily as any Iittle bank book keeper matching an unaccustomed day in the country. THE DOMINANT FEATURE OF HIS MAKE-UP is a restless and tireless physical energy. In this he is perhaps more English than German. The insular tendency of his out-of-door tastes is very marked. Probably there is no gertle- man on the continent who keeps a keener or more interested watch upon the details of En- glish sport, year by year,than William does, He rides like an Englishman, which is another way of saying that he cuts a better figure in the saddle than most of the other Hohenzollerns, notoriously bad horsemen as a rule, have done, He bas ull the British passion for the sea end matters maritime, In bis speech to the officers of the English fleet at Athens he suid that his interest in their navy dated from the earliest days of his boyhood, when he played about Portsmouth dock yard and gained impressions of the vastness and splendor of British ship- ping which had vividly colored his imagina- tion for all time. His concern for and active pride in the German navy are well known, William's love of exercise for its own sake is also English. He fences admirably, swims, rows and bowls well and with zest, and de- lights in mountain climbing. No other Prus- sian prince has ever been so fond of shooting. 1 do not now refer to the Parforce Jagd, that institution in the Potsdam Green For- est which Frederick William I founded, where boars, whose tusks are extracted in their youth, are confined in the Daugarten, and then in the autumn released from their pens and chased by mounted parties, for all the world like the lion hunts of the Sardanapalian de- cadence which Assyrian friezes picture for us, William is a better sportsman, He takes a keen pleasure in the most laborious and difti- cult forms of woodland sport, and is an ex- ceptionally good shot. HIS INFIRMITIES, What renders all this the more remarkable is the fact that his left arm is practically paralyzed. He has trained himself to hold the rein with it when he rides, but that is the sum of its u fulne: This defect dates trom the oc of his birth an i inaptitude of 4 ph inches shorter than its fellow and has a mal- formed hand with only rudimentary fingers. The arm is so wholly limp that William has to lift its hand to even. i it on the hiltot his sword with his righthand. It isin this posture or else in the breast of his coat that he cus- tomarily carries it when out of the saddle, At the table he has a corabined knife and fork | He uses this with | which slide into each other. much dexterity. first to cut up his meat and then to eat it, all, of course, with one hand. To have become a skilled marksman under such a weighty disadvantage indicates great patience and determimation. William uses a very light English gun, having abandoned 1 despair the attempt to get any made to his liking in Germany, and carries it on his shoulder with the stock behind him. At the proper moment he brings the weapon forward by & movement of his right arm with incred- ible swiftness and deadly accuracy of aim. Much more serious, in reality, is the chronic earache with which be has now been afilicted for a uumber of years. Just what the affection is no one has yet been able to determine. It grows worse in cold and wet weather, and that ig about all that is known of it. ‘The physicians disagree as to its character. William Rimecit, though at times suffering acutely from it, has never been alarmed about it. and really be- lieves it to be a local ailment. Its existence naturally enough suftices to create a certain uneasiness in the minds of his friends and of Germaus generally, but I cannot learn that any responsible professional men regard it as neces- sarily dangerous, ‘Lhis your it is said to be Jess troublesome than usual. NERVOUS EXCITABILITY AND RESTL: NESS, Undoubtedly, however, this annoying and wearying burden of the flesh has a grea: deal to do with William's disposition toward nervous excitability and restlessness. A man with the earache cannot be expected to hold calm mas- tery over all his moods. It is @ reasonable as- sumption, too, that to this affliction is in some measure due his phenomenal and unscasonable physicai activity, Often he is unable to eleep at all, and he habitually keeps note books and pencils within reach of his bedside, upon which to work until the pain is exorcised. Some- times, for distraction, he routs out the garrison of Berlin or some regiment of it before day- break. In any case he rises at 5. Both at home and when abroad the amount of Iabor he gete through ina day is almost without paraliel. It is a commonplace expe- rience for him todo four hours’ work in his Berlin study in the early morning; then take a train to Potsdam and spend the remainder of the forenoon in reviewing troops; then trot back in the saddle with hia staff over the dis- tance of eighteen miles; devote the afternoon to the transaction of business with his minis- ters and officials; receive and return the calls of two or three visitingeroyal personages, and then dine somewhere where a speech must be made, —— Named the Twins.

Horses That Will Contest for the Richest , Stake in the World. ‘Next Saturday, at the opening of the fall meeting of the Coney Isiand Jockey Club, the | big faturity stake will be run for. This is without doubt the richest stake in the world. This will be the third faturity race, and the prize this year, with fifteen starters, will easily ; Met the winner €70,000. Last year the race was one of the season's big upsets, being won by Chads, a rank outsider, whose owner carried off $62,550. The year before Proctor Knott was the victor, and Sam Bryant pocketed $45,000 on his chestnut gelding’s speed. There were originally 915 entries for this tag futurity, since when the inexorable sift- ing process has been going on and only about fifteen youngsters will face the starter on Sat- urday, only tour or five of om will stand much show of carrying off the big prize. Colts this year in the futurity ere to carry 118 pounds instead of 115, as formerly, and the weight forthe geldings and fillies has been raised from 112 pounds to 115. The allow- ance for maidens, too, is made ten pounds in- a of cover : ae mong the horses en of as le win- ners of the race this ear are Theodore Win- ter's colt Rey del Rey and August Belmont’ colt Potomac. The former is a maiden and will carry 108 Dagar while the latter will carry 118 pounds. Both these colts are well spoken of aud both will carry large sums of money. Fitzpatrick will probably ride Rey del Rey, while Hamilton will be up on Potomac. ee are not, however, the only horses who may prove dangerous. Strathmeath’s Junior Champion will carry 124 pounds and will make things lively. Bergen will probably be the rider, as Murphy will ride Marcus Daly's Mou- tana, Ambulance’s penalties aggregate seven pounds, as she gets no allowances her weight will be 122 pounds, Ona dry track 122 pounds would not stop her. Ambuiance is ex- ceedingly dangerous, Russell has all the pen- ties that the law allows, and will have to carr; | 130 jounds if he starts. Reckon’s weight will be the same as Ambulance’s—122 pounds—-un- less she receives an allowance of three pounds through her dam, which would make her carry 119 pounds, Sallie McCielland’s victory in the great Eclipse stakes gave her twelve pounds extra, but au allowance of three pounds through her dam places her weight at 125 pounds, Lite is too short to calculate the weights to be carried by the other possible starters. It looks as though the race ought to lie between thos@ mentioned. —-2ee— WERE BOTH GOOD RUNNERS. But Had the Bear Caught the Boy Things Would Have Been Different. From the New York Tribune, Gen. Plaisted, ex-governor of Maine, tells how he once caught a bear. It was, of course, 4 good many years ago, for the gencral was at that time ouly sixteen years old, and his father was clearing a farm on the hillsides of New ) Hampshire. “You may be sure,” the general, “that that part of New Hampshire has changed a good deal since those days. At that time our farm consisted of a goodly stretch of land, a lot of ok where we had been making clear- ings, a log house which we built ourselves, and a small log smoke house. That was about all there was to the farm, with the exception of a few sheep which we had. There were not more than a half dozen families in the neigh- borhood, “I was called down from the hill one day by & great shouting and noises of confusion. 1 ar- rived just in time to see a monstrous bear pull- ing himself toward the woods and dragging along the quarter of asheep. He had gone to the smoke house, where the quarter hung, had smashed the door and seized the sheep. The cries ‘rightened him away. was young then,” continued the general with a smile, ‘‘and more enthusiastic over bears than 1 should be now. Besides, I and my younger brothers were possessed of good old- fushioned mountain boys’ appetites, and, to tell you the truth, mutton was something of a Juxury. It made me mad to see that bear tak- ing off our sheep, and seizing a pitchfork I started after him. “The bear had a good start on me, and I did | not overtake him until he had almost reached the last stump of the clearing on that hill. As I came panting up to him brandishing my pitchfork, the big fellow turned and snaried at me. “The value of that quarter of sheep dimin- ished suddenly, you may be sure. It didn’t geem worth saving after all. I did not like that bear, but I soon discovered that he did like me. In fact he stood upon no ceremony, ; but started for me as if he would like to give mea bug of welcome. By one of those strange revolutions of circumstances it was I who was now being chased. Tbat bear was a better runner than I, and I gave up a straight j course. took tothe stumps. There weren't j half enough stumps to suit me. We went around them, over them, dodged them and played tag around them. I never saw any- thing like the agility of that Lear. “While the bear and I were rivaling the | wind as travelers, horus were blowing at .he ‘ house and every one was shouting. Soon the | settlers in the neighborhood begun to appear. armed with axes, pitchforks, shovels, ¢'ubs — anything that could serve asa weapon. They came running up the slope shouting and yelling jatthe bear to frighten him away, while the horns sounded dismaily below. But the bear | was too busy to pay any attention to them. He seemed to be getting really interested in the chase, and was growling and snarling furiously, “I watched my chance and then made a dash for the rescuing party, Mr. Bear close upon my heels. Occasionally I circled a stump, the bear following suit, and there was adin in my ears. Pitcbforks and axes went into the bear from all sides. He made a good fight, but | numbers conquered him. “Thad an unusually good appetite for sup- per that night and those bear steaks were deli- cions, Idou't think Lever enjoyed a meal ‘more. The steaks were so juicy and tender, |youknow. And then as Tate i couldn't heip congratulating myself that it was I who was doing the eating. It came very near being different, you see.” — eee — The Horse Blew First. From Texas Siftings. A veterinary surgeon told his assistant to give a powder to a sick horse, You take the powder,” he explained, “put it ina tin tube, open the horse's mouth and blow the powder down his throat,” Not long afterward the assistant came back, looking as sick as peopie ever get to be. “ von give the horse the powder?” “I tried to. I put the powder in the tin tube, forced open the horse's mouth, put the tube between his teeth, and——” “Did you blow the powder down his throat?” “No; I was going to, but the horse biew first and the powder went down my throat,” — oo A Rat Made Useful. From the Table. The main telegraph wires in London run through the subways in which the gas pipes and sewers are placed. The principal arteries are #0 large that it is easy enough for men to work in them, but the pipes through which the side wires branch off are much smaller, and great care has to be taken to preserve the connection between the main and the lateral wires. Some time ago men were repairing oue of these latier, and carelessly omitted to attach it to a leading line by which it could be drawn to its place when mended. ‘The blunder seemed likely to have serious consequences, for it was thought that the whole of the lnteral pipe would have to be dug up in | order to get at the broken wire.

THE EVENING STAR ts offered to the pa lic, in good faith and with confidence, «s THE BEST LOCAL ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN THE UNITED STATES. Ia point of fact, it may be truthfully said that it is without ep equal in this respect any where in the world These averments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the orn weekly statements printed in the paper on each Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1839, published in Tus Sram on the 18th of January, 1890, Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. Whe Star has three times the cireu- lation of any other paper im Washing= ton! 2 The Star's circulation in Washing- ton ts double Chat of all the other daily Papers published in the city added to- gether!! 3. Dhe Star bas a jarger and fuller circulation im the city where printed, im proportion to reading and purchass ing pep m, than any other mews paper in the world!!! 4. The Star bas the largest regular aud permanent home circulation et Qny (wo-cent afternoon paper in the United States !t!! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the papet Attention is invited to the figures following: BAILY CIRCULATION IN 1885-86-87-68-80.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers ut the homes of permanent sub scribers, The remaining 6,740 copies represont the salee over the office counter, at the news stands, and by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied reguiarly to por manent resideuts of tue city living in lodgings, &c. (not householders), so that its whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the family circle. While its aggregate circulation there fore gives Tur Stan a distinctive and enviable position m modern journalism, the fullness of its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the household, and particularly by the pur- chasing portion of the community, are the mark€d characteristics of the paper, to which no other daily journal now published can furnish a parallel. This is no idle boast on the part of the paper. It isa well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter- prising business men of Washington, who seck and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tue Stan's advertising patronage. Nothing can more surely illustrate the esteem in which «ny article is held by the public than a constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- verse claims and pretentiouscompetition.
