Mr. Edmunds maintained that no foreigner has a natvral rtght to come to this country, es) ly if their Ppresence is disagreeable to our citizens and liable to cause breaches of peace.

But the movement for higher wages has been ge and sucoesaful ina large number of prades. Three thousand marble cuttery and polishers were on strike st time, < and the matter did not attract much attention from those net directly interested, but if | same number of ear drivers dr ory otn- ployes ahould strike the effects would be widespread. Thus fhr this senson about 15,000 ;:;k‘irn in this city have made or inoreased wages which have been either acceded to or enforoed by a suogessful strike. This movement has included men from a large number of trades——ocar- penters, framers, brownstone cutters, cartmen, granite cnm lhl::_rluld< ers, inters, cigar ilors, ri;uep:- and urgninhni. © mem- rs of the laborers’ union also made a succesaful demand for increased wages. The carpenters in the eatly portion of the month made a dethand for §3.50 a day. A strike was made by both the union and non-union men, which resulted favorably in two or three days, the most of the a8 yielding at once, The demand of the framers for .the abolitton of job work was granted before they were obliged to strike. The stair builders were suc cessful in their strike, which was made recently 'for $3.50 a day and only eight houra’ work on Saturday. ‘The bluestone cutters had little diffi- culty in obtaining cdvanced wages a few days ago, and the brownstone outters also succeeded 1n having their wages increased to . $4.50 day. The granite outters at the same time made a. successful strike for $3.60a day. About 2,000 paintora held a meeting av Irvibg hall two weeks ago, at which it was decided to strike for $3.50 a day. After a fow days of hesitation the last of the bosses yiolded to the demands of the men and they all resumed work. The T of the tailors has been confined. almost ex- clusively to the men working in cus- tom shops, and has in moft cases been satisfactorily settled by the adoption of new price lists, by which the wages have been increased from 10 to 16 per cent. H The strike which the unfortunate marble cutters made several weeks ago has not resulted favorably to all of them. Their desire was to have the job system abolished, by which, they said, it was almost impossible for a man to make $12 a week, while many of them only received from §5 to 80 The trackinen on the Hudson river branch of the New York Central railroad are_still on a strike botween this city and Peekskill, having refused the offer of $1.20 a day made by the Marley has since died.

Blaine insisted that he would take the responsibility of the statement that the war batween Chili and Peru was devised and managed by England, Ohili being the mcre instrument * of England to get half the booty. The game was skillfully played so as to conceal England, which had, also, by throwing up dust at the pacific inter- vention of the United States, secured the withdrawial of that intervention and made the United States an object of ridicule in both Chili and Peru, Belmont objecting that Blaine went too far, in answer he replied that he would rather be affluent in informa- tion than niggardly about it.
