The labor 'troubles iu Lancashire, .England, which ended by a compromise, LM r" tween capital and labor which the world bis seen. The campaign lasted twenty weeks, involved directly and indirectly 125,003 employes, and cost in loss of wages alone $10,000,000. Each side was equally willing at the outset to engage in a test of strength, and at last they wcro just as glad to call a truce with the honors even. Groat sacrifices have been endured, with no result, save that both partios to the conflict have had all desire for fight taken out of them, and the advantages of mutual compromise aro for the time being fully conceded. The operatives have in the terms of peace conceded just a shade more than tbo masters, but there has been really no victory for either side. The plans agreed upon for settling future disputes seem to be the best ever devised thus far. They assure the necessary stability in the cotton market by limiting all futuro changes to fivo per cent, at intervals of net less than odo year. A strange and grostesque figure disappears from tlio upper ranks of the British nobility with tho death of tbo Duke of Bedford. Succeeding to the dukedom on the suicido of his father only two years ago ho has, accor ling to the New * ,,, m _ Y?rlc Sua, exhibited in an intensified '' lo'rm tno'Russell family traits. He was practically a recluse and never had any intimate associates. Though enormously rich he was a miser. Scores of acros of the most valuable property in the heart of London belong to his estate. Ills pas* sion for saviog manifested itself when a boy at school and U remained with him till, the day of his death. Never a day passed without his saving something and reokoning how muoh he had saved. After his succession to the dukedom and vast property accompanying it the pas. sion increased. His one absorbing thought was to piiO up further hoards, to find new possibilities of retrenchment, to form ways of increasing the unneeded surplus, and every penny he continued to invest by the beet advice procurable in the soundest sccjrities. During the last few years he bad beoomo physically almost a monstrosity, lie was well proportioned and active as a young men, but indulgence of a most gluttonous appetite soon mode him corpulent. The very corpulence that made more exercisv exercise at all. Ol been most se deotary. For days together he would not go outside bis house. His appetits was huge, grots, enormous, Gargantuan Heats, as an eminent man who knew him better perhaps than any other do scribed it, like a Wolf. He was reputed to bo the largest and heaviest .feeder in England. Those who had seen him oat ing say it was a sight never to be forgotten. Heart disease of long standing was tbe immediate cause of death, bul be really died of gluttony. CAPITAL NEWS AND GOSSIP. < The President's Olear Statement has ^ a Quieting Effect on the Financial Agitation. Washington, D.O.?Tho au'hoiitativo } statement of Mr. Cleveland in which he announced the present and future policy of the Administration relative to the use of the gold reserve, has taken the edge j off the excitement that followed tho act c of the Socretary of tho Treasury in dip- B ping into the reserve fund. If thcro has ? bccu any da-iger of a financial flurry, that 8 dang r appears now to have passei. Un- t dor tho interpretation of Mr. Cleveland's t statement the reserve is to bo treated jj simply as so much cash in the treasury, and wh ther the aggregate rises or fnl's v, a few millions a day becomes a matter of 8 little concern. rirtna 'Annnilw Ifsal- ,-1 ' * w?.*> ^^vuuj TCIJF nine IlllcrCJC W'ljS f manifested at the department in regard ^ to the flnaocial situation.

Mr. Leech, c director of the United Btates mint, and recognised authority on finances, said: "I look upon tho state meat by tho President as a plain and forcible announcement of tho determination of the Adminis ration to maintain gold payments at all hazards, and that ii the supply of gold nt the disposal of tho treasury should at any time bo insufficient for ?Uu , ll?* ydit^oL. the Government would be uaed to secure the accessary amount. As such it will go a long way towards restoring confidenco and aveiting any financial difficulty." the gold overplus $900,000.] The net gold in the Treasury, over and above the $100,000,000 gold reserve, is $900,000. This nccounts for the gold taken from tho Now York sub treasury I for export and also for gold oilcred and I accepted from Boston bankers.
