The labor troubles in Lancashire, England, which ended by a compromise, * -J*ke rank ap the greatest struggle _ between capital and labor which the world has sccu. The campaign lasted twenty weeks, iuvolved directly and indirectly 125,009 employes, and cost in los3 of wages alone $10,000,000. Each side was equally willing at the outset to cngago in a test of strength, and at last they were just as glad to cull a truce with tho houors even. Great sacrifices have uecn cuuurcu, wiiu no result, save tuat both parties to the conflict have bad all desire for tight taken out of them, and the advantages of mutual compromise arc for the time being fully conceded. The operatives have in the terras of peace conceded just a shade more than the masters, but there has been really no victory for cither side.

CTSL.1 .! - L-. I A strange and grostesque tigurc disnp* pears from the upper ranks of tho British nobility with the deuth of the Duke of Bedford. Succeeding to tho dukedom on the suicide of his father only two years ago he lias, accor ling to the New York Sun, exhibited in au intensified form the Kusscll family trails. He was nrnetirnllv a rreltise and never had nnv intimate associate?. Though enormously rich ho was a miser. Scores of acres of the most valuable property in tho heart of Loudon belong to his estate. His pas* sion for saving manifested itself when ? boy at school and it remained with him till the day of his death. Never a day passed without his saving something and reckoning how much ho had saved. After his succession to the du^adom tt.i'} vast property accompanying it the pas. sion increased. Ilia one absorbing thought was to pile up further hoards, to find new possibilities of retrenchment, to form ways of increasing the unnccdcd surplus, aud every peony he continued to invest by the bent advice procurable in tho soundest scc iritics. During the last few years he had bccomo physically almost a monstrosity. He was well proportioned and active as a young man, but indulgence of a most gluttonous appetito soon made him corpulent. Tho very corpulenco that made nioro exercise ^ ^ "pp"??" rexercise at all. Ol ^lateyeaP? Tff!t .-a been most so dentary. For days together ho would not go outside his house. His appetite was huge, grots, enormous, Gargantuan He ate, as an eminent man who know him better perhaps than any other de scribed st, like a wolf. IIu was icpuieu to be the largest and heaviest .feeder iD England. Those who had seen him cat ing say it was a sight never to be forgotten. Heart disease of long standing was the immediate cause of death, but he really died of gluttony. UAtTTAL NEWS AND GOSSIP. The Prrndtnt'a Olrtr Statement hu * Quieting: Effect on the Fiuancial Afitetion. Washikqtok, D.O.?The authoiitalivo tatemeot of Mr. CltVeland in which he announced the preeent and future policy of the Administration relative to the use of the gold re serve, has taken the edge off the excitement thit followed tho act of the Socretsry of the Treasury in dipping into the reserve fund. If there has becu any da-iger of a 6uancial flurry, that dang r appears now to have passe 1. Un dcr the interpretation of Mr. Cleveland's statement the reserve is to be Iri-attd simply aa so much cash in the treasury, and wh ther the spgregnto rises or fat's a few millions a day becomes a matter of little concern. Comrqmcntly very little interest wi?s manifested at the department in regard to the financial situation. Some offers of gold were received from the West and accepted, aud Treasurer Jordan, at New York, it was r. ported, had abo r. ceived a considerable amount of gold certificitcs. Mr. Leech, c director of the United States mint, and recognized authority on finances, said: "I look upon the state meat by tho President as a plain and forcib'.e announcement of the determination of the Adminis ration to maintain gold payments at all hazards, and that il the supply of gold nt the disposal of tho treasury should at any time be insufficient ' for the purpose, the credit of the GovI eminent would bo uaatl io accum th? nrf;. essary amount. As such it will go a long way towards restoring confidence and nvciting any financial difficulty." THIS GOLD OVERPLUS $900,000.] The net gold in the Treasury, over and above the $100,000,000 gold reserve, is $900,000. This accounts for the gold taken from tho Now York sub treasury for export and also for gold offered and accepted from Boston bankers. It doe*, not, however, iuclude the gold which was offered to the government from San 1 Francisco and Rnannkn V? amounts will appear in the Treusury figures whan the actual exchange is made. Secretary Carlisle is much encouraged at what he terms the "patriotic position taken by the Boston bankers *' lie took over with him to the cabinet mooting a bundle of paper*, presumably bearing on tte oonfeOMM?L*f,N?7 T?rk with Assistant Treasurer Jordm. In the incomplete condition of that matt>r, the Secretary did not deem it prudent to ex* press an opinion. A HUNDRED LIVES LOST. And Five Times that Many Injured is Oklahoma's Story. Guthrie O.
