THE annual State election in Rhode Island resulted in the snocess of the Re­ publican ticket, which is mainly made up of the present officers. An amendment to the Constitution providing for prohibition was also successful. This latter feature of the vot­ ing made the election extraordinarily excitiug .... At the municipal election in Dallas, Texas, on the heaviest vote ever polled, the Knights of Labor made a clean sweep, every candidate supported by them being elected by majorities ranging from 600 to 1,000. The result was a great surprise. Dallas is the point at which the big public meetings about a month ago started in Texas to denounce the strike and up­ hold and indorse the attitude of the rail­ road companies, which was done by the Merchants' Exchange, and many other meetings in the State followed the ex-' ample. At Fort Worth the candidates of the Knights of Labor were also elected to a man. Henry C. Krumpp, Republican, was elected Mayor of Kansas City, while the Democrats obtained control of all the remaining offices. GENERAL. Ex-SENATOR WILLIAM H.

To the innocent young man, if there are any sUL-h, a woman's toilet is a deep mystery. He declares that feminine garments are built on the most com­ plicated designs, and then displays his back-buttoning shirt and unmanageable pantaloon legs as an improvement. Perhaps dislocated shoulder-blades, re­ sulting from refractory collar buttons, are pveferrable to compressed waists. But I warrant more profanity has fallen on those unoffending buttons than on all the corsets in America. A woman doesn't swear; she cries, or bites some­ thing.--San Francisco Report. THE German soldiers are to be trained to shout while making a charge. We have known many men who were always willing to "shout," provided they were allowed to make a "charge" at the same time. ~ THE MARKETS.

Support. Yb* joint Executive 3)fltriot Assemblies 101, 9:1, and 17 of the Knights of Labor have issued at St. Louis an earn­ est appeal to their brother-laborers for sup­ port in their content with Jay Gould. The text of the address is as follows: To the Workingmen of the World : Friends and brothers, hear us, for we plead for our rights ! Men of equity, look upon us, for we struggle against giants of wrong! Mad with the frenzy of pride and self-adulation,begotten as it is of the success of outrage and infant v, there stands before us a giant of aggre ated 'and in­ corporated wedth, every dollar of which is built upon blood, injustice, and outrage. That giant of corporate wealth has centralized its power 111 and is impersonated by the eager liend who gloats as he grinds the life out of his fellow- men, and grimaces and dances as they writhe uj>oii his instruments of torture. Oh, ye work­ ing men of America, who love your liberty and your native land ; ye great creators of wealth, who stand as the foundation of all national good, look upon your brothers to-day. Gould, the giant fiend. Gould, the money monarch, is dancing, as he claims, over the grave of our order--over tho ruin of our homes and the blight of our lives. Before him the world has smiled in beauty, but his wake is a graveyard of hopes, a cyclone's path of devasta­ tion and death. Our strong arms have grown weary in building the tower of strength, and yet he bids us build on or die. Our young lives have grown gray too soon beneath the strain Of unrequited, constaut toil. Our loved ones at home arj lioilow-eheeked and pale with loug and weary waiting for better days to come. Nay, more than this, the graveyards are hiding his victims from our longing eyes. Brother workmen, this monster fiend has com­ pelled some of us to toil in cold and rain for five and fifty cents a day. Others have been com­ pelled to yield their time to him for seventeen and thirty-six weary hours for the pittance of nine hours' pay. Others who have dared to assert their manhood and rebel against his tyranny are black listed and boycotted all over the land. He lias made solemn compacts with the highest au­ thority in our order, and then has basely refused to f ill till his pledge. He lives under and enjoys all the benefits of our republican form of government, and yet ad­ vocates aud perpetuates tin most debasing form of white slavery. He robs the rich and poor, the high and low, with ruthless hand, and then ap­ peals to corrupt and purchased courts to help him take our little homes away. He breaks our limbs and maims our bodies and then demands that we shall release him from every claim for damages or be black-listed forever. He goes to our grocers and persuades them not to give us credit, because we refuse to be ground in his human mill. He turns upon us a horde of law­ less thugs, who shoot among our wives and Chil­ dren with deady intent, and then he howls for Government help when he gets his pay in liko coin. Fellow workmen, Gould must be overthrown. His giant jipwer must be broken, or you and I must be slaves forever. The Knights of Labor alone have dared to be a David to this Goliath. The battle is not for to-day -the battle is not for to-morrow--but for the trooping; generations in the coming ages of the world, f r our children, and our children's children. Tis the great ques­ tion of the age. Shall we. in the coming ages, be a nation o( freemen or a nation of slaves V The question must lie decided now. The chains are already forged that are t> bind us. Shall we wait until they are riveted 11 (ion our limbs? Nay. God forbid. Workmen cf ttie world, mar­ shal yourselves upon the battlefield! Work­ men of every trade and clime, on to the fray! Gould aud his 111 nopolies must go down, or your children must be slaves. Think of the little olive plants around your hei«-tlistones that will be blighted by his curse, i'hink of the little home he is seeking to rob you of. Think ot the wife from whose eyes he baH wrung floods of tears, and from whose heart he has tortured drops of blood. Who can look calmly upon his perfidy, his outrage, and his crime? For he has sought, to incite felonv among our rank and tile; he has bought the perfidy of vile men to entrap the unwary that he might stain our fair name and gloat over our misf< rtunes. Once for all, lellow-workmen, arouse. Let every hand that toils be iifted to Heaven and swear by Iliin that liveth forever that these outrages muBt cease. Let every heart aud blow be turned toward our common foe, and let no man grow weary until, liko Goliath, our giant is dead at our feet. EXECUTIVE BOARDS D. A. 101, 93,17. Labor Notes.

Her Minister to Thin Country Has a Hard Time Landing at San FI-AIICIMO. | San Francisco telegram, j Chang Yen Hoou, the new Chinese Am­ bassador to the United States, accompanied by twenty attendants, arrived to-day on the steamer Gaelic from Hoiig Kong, He will remain here one week, and then go direct to Washington. Just as the Minister, followed by his suite, was about to step ashore he was stopped by the customs officer, who in­ formed him that he could not allow him to pass until he had shown Ly properly au­ thenticated documents that he was entitled to land in the United States. The Chinese Consul General aud Chinese Consul, who were present to receive the Minister, ex­ pressed some indignation that such a for­ mality should be required in this instance, but as the officer insiattd the Minister dis­ patched one of his secretaries for his cre­ dentials. Chinese Consul liec has made the following statement: "Secretary Bayard sent instructions to (he Collector of this port to permit the legation to land freely and to extend to them every courtesy. Just at the moment his Excel­ lency aud suite were about to step ashore the Surveyor informed me that the Collect­ or had just sent an order not to permit the legation to land until his Excellency's cre­ dentials were sent to the custom house for examination. This was communicated to his Excellency, who expressed much sur­ prise at tho action of the Collector, remark­ ing that his Government had instructed him to present his credentials to the Presi­ dent of the United States, adding that they were packed in his baggage under seal and that it would be very inconvenieut to get at them at that moment, and he therefore pre­ ferred to remain on the ship until commu­ nication could be had with Washington." Finally, after a delay of an hour and • half, the Minister and suite were permitted to leave the ship. Mn.

Tha Gicttid Old Man's Irish Horn#- ftule Scheme Unfolded in v a Masterly Speech. Panrera fw the Conduct of Domestic • lAlri Confided to a Parliament. Heither Peers Nor Qommoners from the Green I*le to Sit flt Westminster. The p&mellite members of the British House of Commons commenced to secure desirable seats soon after daybreak on the morning of tne fcth inst., and held them for eleven hours, until Mr. Gladstone made his appearance. The thoroughfares in the vicinity were so crowded as to cause a suspension of traffic. The Premier was in excellent health, and was greeted by deafening applause, which lasted some minutes. As soon as the cheering ceased Mr. Gladstone «ose and moved for permission to introduce a bill to amend previous legislation and to make provision for the future Government of Ireland. motion Gladstone said: The time has arrived when both honor and duty require Parliament to come to a decisive resolution. It should be the en­ deavor to liberate Parliament from the re­ straints under which, during late vears, it has ineffectually struggled, and to restore legisla- tion to its unimpaired course. It iB our duty to establish harmonious relations between Great Britain and Ireland on a footing of free institutions, in which Englishmen, Scotchmen and Irishmen have a like interest." cheers 8enttna®nt was greeted with prolonged As soon as quiet was restored, Mr. Glad­ stone entered upon a brief review of the gen­ eral features of. past legislation for Ireland. He dwelt upon the coercive and repressive measures which had been put iu force from time to time, and deprecated any further re­ sort to the rude remedies of intimidation. "Since the year 1833," he said, "only two years have passed without coercive legislation for Ireland; and, in spite of all thin, the law continues to b® disregarded, because it is invested, in the eye® of the Irish, with a foreign aspect. Were fur­ ther coercion to be successful, it would require two conditions--autocracy of the Government and the secrecy of public transactions. IPar- nellito cheers. I The mainspring of the law in Engjflnd is fait to be English; in Scotland to be Scotch; but in Ireland it is not felt to Le Irish. The first condition of civilized life in Ireland demands that the people have con­ fidence in the law and sympathy therewith. Th:: problem, therefore, before Parliament at the present time is to reconcile imperial unity with the diversity of legislatures." He believed that the Government had found the solution of this problem in the establishment of a Parlia­ ment at Dublin for the conduct of business, both legislative and administrative. (Loud cheers by the Pamellites. j "The political equality of the three countries." said Mr. Gladstone, "must be recognized. Therefore, there must be an equitable distribution of the imperial fundB. The peculiar circumstances existing in Ireland also make it necessary to establish safeguards for the minority in that country. The Govern­ ment will be obliged to consider thclass con­ nected with the land and the relations which tliey will sustain with the Protestant minority. As Ireland is to have a domestic Legislature) it will, therefore, be impracticable for Irish rep­ resentatives to come here." "The intention of the Government bill," Mr. Gladstone said, "is that the Parliament at Dub­ lin shall be a dual liodv. It is to be composed of two orders, each of which shall have the power to veto the acts of the other. The first order will include 103 members ; the second or­ der 206. Twenty-eight of the present Irish Peers will continue to sit in the HOUSB of Lords, and they will be granted the option to have life seats in the first Irish order. The office of Vice­ roy of Ireland will not be discontinued. The bill intends that the Viceroy shall remain, and that the office shall hereafter be non-political-- that is. tho incumbent of the office will not be expected to retire with tho downfall of the British Ministry." Mr. Gladstone continued: "If I read Irish history aright, misfortune and calamity have wedded her sons to their soil with an embraee yet closer than is known elsewhere, and the Irishman is still more profoundly Irish; but it does not follow that because his local patriotism is strong he should be incapable ol an imperial patriotism. There are two modes of presenting the subject which I have argued ; one of them is to present what we now recommend as good, and the other is to present it as a choice ot evils, and as the least among the varied evils with which as possibilities we are confronted. Well, I have argued the matter as if it had been a choice of evils. * * * I do not know whether it may appear too bold, bnt in my own heart I cherish the hopo that this is not merely a choice of the lesser evil, but that it may be proved to be ere loug a good in itself. |Loud cheers. | "There is, I know, an answer to this, and what is the answer? The answer is only found in the view which rests upon a basis of despair, Of ab­ solute condemnation of Ireland and Irishmen as excei>tions to those beneficial provisions which have made in general, Europeans in particular, Englishmen and Americans capable of self- government ; that an Irishman is a lusus na- turie; that justice, common sense, moderation, natural prosperity, have no meaning for him; that all that he cati understand and all that he can appreciate is strife--perpetual dissension. Now, sir, I am not going to argue in this House whether this view, this monstrous view |lrish cheers', is a correct one. I say an Irishman is as capable of loyalty as another man [renewed cheers |; but if his lovalty has been checked, why it is because the laws by which lie is gov­ erned, do not present theinselvr s to him as they do to us in England or Scotland with a native and congenial element." In conclusion, Mr. Gladstone said: "I ask that we shall practice as We have very often preached, aud that in our own case we should be Arm and fearless in applying the doctrines we have often inculcated on others, that the con­ cession of local stlf-government is not the way to sap and impair, but to strengthen and consol­ idate unity. I ask that we should learn to rely less 011 mere written stipulations, and more on those better stipulations written 011 the heart and mind of man. I ask that we should apply to Ireland tho happy experience we have gained in England and fccotlaiul. whore a course of gen­ erations has now taught us. not as a dream or a theory, but as a matter of practice and of life, that the best and surest foundation we can find to build 011 is the foundation afforded by the af­ fections aud cotn ictions and will of man, and that it is thus by the d« cree of the Almighty, far more than by any other method, we may be enabled to Hecure at oi:co the social happiness, the power, und the permanence of the empire." Mr. Gladstone spoke three hours and twtnty- flvc minutes explaining his measure. He re­ sumed Ills seat auiid bursts of enthusiastio cheers, which were sustained for several min­ uses. When tho applause had subsided Mr. Trev- elysn, who, with Mr. Chamberlain, recently re­ signed from the Cabinet, addr essed the House of Commons iu opposition to Mr. Gladstone's bill. ' For my part," said he, "I have 110 hesitation in saying that I think complete separation of Ireland fro.u Great Britain would be preferable to the plan of government that bad just been jvopostd. We should then know the worst at once." ' At the conclusion of Trevelyan's speech, Mr. Pamell arose, and was received with cheers by the Irish members. As to tho bill before the House, while reserving his full expression of opinion until lir> had been it, Mr. Parnell con­ gratulated the House 011 the fact that there was still living an English statesman who could de­ vote his attention to this imiKirtant matter, and begged to thank Mr. Gladstone for what would wt only prove a beneficial measure, from the l£sh point of view, but which he (Parnell) be­ lieved would be found to be of equal benefit to England. The bill, nevertheless, contained blots which the Irish representatives would do their best to remove. On the whole, howevar, apart from thes 1 defects, he beln ved the meas­ ure would be cheerfully accepted by the Irish people and their representatives as a satisfactory fo'.ution of the long-standing dispute between the two countries. London Press Comment [I-ondou dispatch,]' The Morning Post, Conservative, admits that Mr. Gladstone's speech was a great oratorical effort, wanting none of the fire and but little of the vigor which in past times electrified Parlia­ ment. "But," it continues, "friends and foos alike are astonished at the crudity of the plan, and we, perhaps, do not err if we say that with the exception of the ParnelliteB there are not twenty members who are not bewildered as to how such a scheino could seriously be proposed. Fortunately there is not the remotest chance that any such scheme will receive the sanction of Parliament." The Daily says : "If enthusiastic cheers ringing on both sides of the House are signiflr cant, Mr. Gladstone's scheme has already r^ ceived the appro\at of tho House or Commons. Experience, however, has shown that immediate triumph is sometimes follow ed by filial disaster. How tho schema will fare iu its progress through the Commons it is difficult to forecast." - The Chronicle says : "It is not an exaggeration to i-ay that the scheme appeared to throw the occupauts of the I.ibcral benches into a sib noe that conies of a stupor rather than surprise. The reception of the speech was in strange con­ trast to the reception < f the orator. Mr. Glad­ stone arose amid a frenzy of enthusiasm. When he concluded the only applause he received was Hibernian yells ot (lolight and some sporadio Radical cheers." The Times says: "It is not a metaphor to affirm that Mr. Gladstone's statement is with* out a parallel in our parliamentary initials in Its mastery of complicated details and its com­ mand of dialectical and rhetorical resources. It is not only marvelous, but is lifted out (t the regiou of political commonplace by a spirit of elevated purpose find a tone of self-imposed conviction. With what fatal vices must a cause be smitten for which even Mr. Gladstone's energy and influenco are able to win 110 more cordial reception than that accorded his Irish scheme in. the House of Commons." CONGRESS. What ia Being Done toy the Uonal Legislature. ^ ( OitiiY the House of ^Representatives was in session on the 3d inct. When the labor arbitra­ tion bill came up, in ccmmittee of the wljole, Mr. Warner, of Missouri, offered an amendment' providing that the members of the tribunal erf arbitration shall receive a compensation of 810 a day for the time actually employed! It also prescribes the fees and compensation to be allowed the clerk, stenographer, marshals, and witnesses, provides that the tribunal shall nave the power to limit the number of witnesses in each case whose fees shall bepaid by the United States, and appronriates a sufficient sum to carry the provisions of the bill into effect. Mr. Till­ man, of South Carolina, offered an amendment to the amendment providing that not exceeding SI,000 shall be paid out of the Treasury to de­ fray the expenses of any single arbitration.' The amendment was agreed to, and Mr. Waar- ner's amendment, as amended, was adopted. The committee then rose and reported the bill to the House. It was immediately passed--yeas 195, navs 29. The following is the negative vote: Allen (Miss.), Barnes, Belmont, Bennett, Breck­ inridge (Ky ), Crisp, Croxton, Davidson (Ala,), Daniel, Foran, Forney, Glover, Hale, Hammond, Harris, Hemphill, Hill, Hutton, Irion. Jones (Ala.), Norwood, O'Ferrell, Perry, Reagan, Rogers, Sadler, Skinner, Tillman, aud Tucker. On motion of Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, the title of the bill was amended so as to read "To provide a method of settling controversies and differences between railroad corporations engaged in interstate and territorial transporta­ tion of property and passengers and their em­ ployes." After the labor arbitration bill had. passed tho House took up the silver debate. Mr. Fuller, of Iowa, argued in favor of a double standard, and charged that the officials of the . Treasury Department were violating the laws and thwarting the will of the peo­ ple in refusing to plly out silver on the obligations of the Government. Mr. Barksdale, of Mississippi, opposed the sus­ pension of silver coinage, as did Mr. Caldwell, of Tennessee. Mr. Gallinger, of New Hamp­ shire, argued in-favor of the suspension ot sil­ ver coinage. President Cleveland's "innocuous desuetude" was exactly what tho silver dollar needed. Mr. Woodburn, of Nevada, defended the silver dollar from the charge of dishonesty, and argued in favor of an unlimited coinage. SENATOR LOGAN'S army bill was again dis- * cussed in the Senate on the 5th inst. Mr. Cock- rell spoke in opposition to the bill. There was,, he said, ample power to protect our institutions without a single regular soldier. Our foreign Wars had been fought by volunteers ; our civil war--the greatest war in historv--had been fought by volunteers. The people of this repub­ lic could successfully resiBt the combined na- tions of the earth. Mr. Logan spoke at considerable length in further ex­ planation of the details of tho bill, and in reply to criticisms made against it. He be­ lieved fully in relying 011 the citizens in time of trouble, and whenever a large army was wanted, but said citizens to be effective had to be organ­ ized.

'j GENERAL. LOGAN'S army bill was again th(S subject of debate on the 6th, inst. General Lo­ gan and Manderson spoke in favor of and Messrs. Hale and Teller in opposition to the measure. Mr. Blair presented a memorial from the Mormon women of Utah,- complaining that the Edmunds law has been so construed us to bring its penalties to bear 011 the innocent, and has inflicted upon the women unpre­ cedented indignities and immeasurable Borrow. Mr. B.air repoitsd favorably^ without amendment, from the Com­ mittee of Ed'.cation and Labor the arbitration bill r< cently passed by the House of Represent- . atives. The post office appropriation bill passed 1 the House after amendments to increase the appropriations for postal clerks and the trans- , portation of foreign mails hail been ro.iect.id,. During the debate of the measure Mr, Phelps attacked Postmaster General Vilas, calling him the Pooh-Bab of the administration, who usurped the func­ tions of tho President and of Congress to defeat the laws. Messrs. Holinan and Randall de- ' fended Mr. Vilas Mr. I,aw lei-, of fllinois, from the Committee on Labor, reported back to th® House a resolution for a CongresifO.ial investi­ gation of the causes underlying the differences existing between employers and employes on l: railroads, and it was referred to the committee of the whole.
