It seems inevitable that wool it to on- gngo as mtfbh of the attention ot the ioxt congress as it did that of the last. The special mooting ot the executive committee of the national association of wool manufacturers , hold at Boston this Week , was expected to formulate Bomo sort of proposition to bo presented to congress na representing the demands of the manufacturers , but it failed to do so. About all that was developed - volopod regarding the desires of the manufacturers was ob- Lalnod from interviews after the con ference had completed its fruitless de liberations. From thcso it is learned that the manufacturers regard the present time as n critical ono for their business. They have not for oomo tlmo boon enjoying a wholly satisfactory measure of prosperity , and the outlook Is not favorable. The president of the national association is quoted as saying that , while there is no wlshtonUncK the wool-growers , something must bo done for the m'anufncttirers. The growth of the woolen industry hus not kept pace with that of other industries , no- cording to this authority , and the man ufacturers hnvo not only had no induce ment to expand , but have been obliged to contract. This condition of things has gone on until their business a Hairs have become critical , and the two courses suggested in orderio resuscitate the business is cither to cheapen the raw material or give greater protection to the manufactured product. A change which , it is the opinion of some , will give the manufacturers the relief they seek , is to make the duty on wool ad valorem instead of specific. If this wore done the duty would bo graduated to the rise and fall of the foreign market , and it is con tended that if this wore done the for eign manufacturer would not enjoy the advantage ho now docs over the Amer ican manufacturer. A great many wool manufacturers favor this proposition. The wool growers have no doubt ss to their nttitudo. So " far as hoard from thuy are unanimous in demanding not only that there shall bo no reduction of the duties on wool , but that there shall bo a restoration of thy higher duties of 1807 , us provided for in the Bonalo tariff bill. The protest ot the Ohio branch of the wool growers' asso ciation against any und all propositions looking to a reduction of the wool duties is unequivocal , and there can bo no doubt that this had a very important influence in determining the action , or more properly the inaction , of tlio Bos ton conference of woolen manufactur ers. There is to bo another conference hold on the 2d of October , which it is possible will give moro doll- nito expression to the requirements and wishes of tbo manufacturers , but from the present aspect of the situation it would seem that the wool growers are likely to have their wishes regarded. In that case the question before the next congress in 'relation to the wool in terests will bo thatof increasing the du- tics on the products of wool. It is plain that the manufacturorsiof woolen goods can not continue to do business under the present conditions. Fifty nota ble failures have occurred in this industry during the present year , and it is not in a very much better condition than the iron industry of Now England , which is almost unanimous in demanding a , re vision of the tariff that will civo it free raw materials. The promise is for a very nctivo and interesting contest over the question of wool duties in the next congress , with a strong probability that the weight of public sentiment will bo against any in crease of the duties on wool , and possi bly in favor of reducing them. FUTURE. Mr. Dunnoll , the correspondent of the Now York Times , who is supplying the readers of that journal with , a great deal of interesting information regard ing the great went , predicts a great fu ture for "Wyoming. Ho says that the past of this territory , glorious as it seems , will bo but a palo anl ; indistinct promise of future greatness fifty years honco. While its svbcortalnod rosouruas nro such as to excite the admiration of every ono who takes the trouble to ex amine the reports about thorn , it does not take long to discover that they are hut imperfectly known. A few coal mines have boon opened and are paying richly. The rocks have boon tapped hero and there , revealing iron , silver , and other oros. Oil indications have boon habtily examined at differ ent points , with results so gratifying as to insure the belief that in the Rocky mountains are to bo sunktho walls that will exceed those of Pennsyl vania as a source of the now world's supply of petroleum. It is the guess of the geologists that there nro thirty thousand square miles of coal underly ing Wyoming. Its sod deposits in sight are estimated .at millions of tons. Petroleum is escaping from ono or two \volls aiul from named nnd name less springs in live or six counties , all still beyond the roach of the rail roads. There is an empire in this territory , says the Times correspondent , lying half way between the Mississippi nnd the Pacific coast , that is us spacious in area as Now York , Ohio , Now Jersey and Delaware combined. It is as broad as all the Now England Htutos and In diana together. It is larger in urea by throe thousand squuro miles than the great states of Iowa and Ohio. It contains nearly sixty-three million acres , a largo part of which can bo made splendidly productive by irrigation. Of its vast resources "all await development , and the greatest of them , coal , has been scarcely touched. A grout deal of capital will , bo re quired to develop the resources of Wy oming. A vast expenditure for irriga tion will bo necessary to render her now almost worthies ! ) lands productive. But it is only beginning to bo known what splendid opportunities this terri tory offers , and when thatknowledgo be comes moro widely disseminated there will bo no lade of capital to bring her various ro&ourc'us into service and to provide the moans for her agricultural prosperity. There can bp no doubt that there is n pront future for Wyoming , and not only is it probable , that within the next ton years the present territory will have become ono of the populous states of tlio west , bub will nlso bo ono of the foremost in contributing to the national wealth. It la the contempla tion of all this , says the Times corre spondent , the security for future great ness thai it holds out , that inspires Wyoming people with the desire to bo accorded nil the advantages that can bo derived from statehood , nnd the pre sentation of such facts can hardly fail to maico an impression upon congress and the country favorably to thnt de sire. OF RAILWAY MEN. The federation of the different labor organizations on the Union Pacific sys tem is the rosultof negotiations pending for nearly a year. The movement be gan bcforo the final collapse of the Burlington strike , and was duo to the failure of that struggln. If this union is ratified at the coming convention of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers , it will result in ono of the moat power ful labor organizations over formed in this country , not excepting the Knights of Labor. The Burlington strike cost the or ganizations participating a largo sum of money , but was not with out its benefits and lessons. It demon strated that the onglnoors could not carry on a strike for twenty-four hours without the hearty co-operation of the firemen. It bridged the chasm that for merly existed between them and brought them into close , harmonious relations for mutual benefit. Realizing the good to flow from the union of two strong organizations , with interests in common , the movement spread to all societies of railroad employes , and now the union comprises the brakemen , switchman , and Knights of Labor , and will eventually take in the train dis patchers. The growth of this organization will bo watched with great interest by all friends of labor as well as railroad man agers. Many difUcultics besot its nath , not the least of which are the jealousies heretofore existing between them. This will not seriously interfere with the harmonious progress of the organ ization in the west , but in the cast an in ten so hatred exists between the Knights of Labor and the engine men , which will require the earnest nnd united action of conservative leaders to successfully overcome. The action of the engineers' conven tion in Denver next month will deter mine the lifo or death of the fedorn- tion. If that body sustains the policy of Chief Arthur to hold aloof from all kindred organizations , the result is likely to bo a split between the eastern nnd western factions , which will seri ously cripple tho.brothorhood. The re tirement ( if Arthur is demanded by the western men , and if they are successful the success of the federation west of the lanes is assured. FOUEST FIRES. The destructive forest fires raging in sections of the northwestern states and territories have caused incalculable damage to the country. Thousands of acres of timbojr land have boon swept by the flames and millions of feet of cut lumber and cordwood destroyed in Montana , Idaho. Washington and Ore gon. For the last two months the coun try has boon enveloped in a pall of suf focating smoke , and day almost turned to night by clouds carried hundreds of miles from the vicinity of the disaster. The fires started early in July and have raged with moro or less fury to the present time. It is impossible to compute the damage inflicted. The loss of life , so far , is comparatively small , but the loss of stock , homos , mills and like property will roach into the millions. In Montana alone two hun dred thousand dollars worth of cordwood - wood was destroyed on the mountain sides. The immediate cause of this disastrous bosom of flame was the drought. The unusual mildness of last winter through out that section nnd the trifling'snow full loft the mountains and valleys bare. Spring rains iiid not materially relieve the lack of moisture. Aii a result the country became a ready prey to the flumes in raid-summer. The immense influx of settlers to Washington territory is primarily re sponsible for tlfo appalling destruction wrought in that section. The unsettled portion of the territory is heavily tim bered. In their haste to ofToct a clear ing , land hunters piled the undergrowth around the trees nnd attempted to burn thorn out. Their folly brought about their own dostruction. The flames wore carried beyond their control and brought ruin to hundreds of homos. The effect of the calamity will bo felt for years. It is especially crushing to thousands of newcomorn , whoso homos and crops und stock fell a prey to the devouring olemont. Coupled with the partial destruction of StSattlo , Ellotis- burg tvnd Spokane Falls , Washington has passed through a terrible baptism of flro on the threshold of statehood. SKCRKTAIIY OK Aouicur/runi ! RUSK. with his assistants , is making a tour through Kansas for "tho purpose of gaining information concerning the sorghum sugar industry. Ho will visit six or eight of the factories and hopes by n careful study of the ontorprlso to gain a kno.wl- edge of it that will enable him to extend - tend such government aid ns its devel opment may require , The secretary expressed an opinion that the industry would become a success. Tlio sugar works at Fort Scott made throe hundred thousand pounds at a profit last year. Greater results nro looked for the present season , many improvements having been made in the processes employed. No further proof is needed to show that the making of sorghum sugar is a practical success. It only remains to cheapen the process so us to make it a profitable commercial undertaking. Undo JorryvRusk is .tho right man in the right place to look after just such industries. BKCAUSK Major Warner , of Kansas City , did not care to accept the pen sions commlssloncrdhlp , BO mo people imagine that the president would be greatly ombarrns8od , , Hi finding n. suit able person for tlio oulco.

The tel egraph staled that Mnjor Merrill , of Boston , had bpon tendered the position , but ho claims not to care for it. Ho will take it , though , from a Bonso of duty , if urged upon him , but this is not likely to bo dono. It is moro than probable lhat'tho major will reconsider lils public utterances nnd take Iho place the moment ho la sura ho can got it. Olllcos Ilka this do not go bogging , IK 18 16 the consumption ot American cotton by Great Britain amounted to ono million two hundred and thirty- nine thousand bales , whllo the United States used only throe hundred nnd ninety thousand bales of the product. In 1883 the English consumption had increased to two million seven hun dred and five thousand bales , nnd that of Iho Unilod States to two million ono hundred mid ninety-one thousand bales. The figures indicate that our cotton in dustry IB gaining on England , nnd in a few years the most of Iho manufactur ing will bo done on this side. The south takes the load In the building of now cotton factories nnd it is mostly duo to thai section thnt wo nro now nblq to successfully compote with Eng land in the manufacture of this class of THIS grand jury , which will convene in this city next Monday , has a great deal of Important work on hand. The thorough investigation of the mnnngo- inont of county affairs is by no moans the only subject that is to como before it. There have boon violations of the criminal code that should not bo al lowed to pass by unnoticed. While the county attorney has taken in hand such infractions of the lawns nro flagrant and have como under his direct nottco , broaches of the law in this city and county have boon carried on under cover and condoned because no com plaint has boon formally made. Tun public Uobt wasaocronsed twonty- flvomillion six hundred nnd thirty-throo thousand three hundred and sixty-two dollars during the first six months of Cleveland's administration , while under Harrison for the same time the amount was forty-four million five hundred and forty-eight thousand seven hundred nnd twonty-ono dollars. Every time a democratic editor begins to compare Cleveland's with Harrison's methods of economy , with unfavorable comments on the lattrbr , it might bo well to advert to the exact figures. IT ArrEAns that Kansas City has a method of swelling its clearing house business , which is not now , nor ever has boon , practiced ip this city. The stock yards business here has never boon in cluded in our banks' total , but in Kan sas City not only the stock yards , but the business of half a. dozen small suburban towns is taken in so that the totals may assume largo porportions. Kansas City is very enterprising , but her motlfods of booming very often give countenance to the most rank impos ture. TUB death penalty was abolished in Rhode Islund nearly forty years ago , nnd imprisonment for lifo was substi tuted , since which , it is claimed , crimes of violence have been very rarely com mitted. But would the s.mo laws provo as effective in n larger state , like Texas , for instance , whore a man can not go outside of his own commonwealth and still bo within shooting distance of any part of it ? THE second hanging which has oc curred in Minnesota since the law pro hibiting extended newspaper accounts of public executions wont into effect , oc curred yesterday , ana every detail of the event was given nt length in the papers of that state. When foolish leg islators pass such a stupid law the news papers very properly ignore it. IT is a long weary way from Arkansas to Canada at this season of the year , but J. Weiss , of Toxarkana , is sup posed to have recently made the trip. Ho had the foresight to prepare him self for the cold of the northern winter , and lined his pockets with fifty thou- and dollars of other people's money. No minor event of the year has evoked such widespread regret from the press as the failure of the Jootpads to squeeze "Old Hutch. " This shows a wrong conception of the event and the consequences. The highwaymen should bo congratulated on escaping with their hides. THK distressing news isrocoivod from Now Jersey that the apple crop is al most a total failure and that but little "applejack" will bo raado this year. Under these circumstances that state is likely to return a republican majority at the not oloction.

But there will not bo near the necessity for being on the "lookout" there was in the full of 1803. THE Yellow river of China has made another bad break and caused great dutnago. However , this irregularity is different from many " breaks" thnt are made , inasmuch as it occurred about ono hundred miles from its mouth. THE colored voters of Boston have de clared that they want their share of the public offices. This is another evi dence that they have reached about the Batno plane of political intelligence that their white brethren enjoy. OTHER LANDS THAN OURS , The ROnornl election * in Franco tor mom- bars 6t tbo now clmmbor of deputies will take place to-morrow , nnd there Is universal interest In the result , This will dotormlno whether or not UoulntiRor 1 still nn import * ant factor In French politics. The sonata has convicted him ot treason , and also for misappropriation , while minister ot war , ot the secret service fund , In almost any other country than Franco such grave ctiarctoa , sustained by so eminent nbody ns the highest branch of the legislature , xvould destroy for ever the political power of any man against whom they were brought. Hut in that coun try even the sonata does not enjoy the abso lute confidence of the people , nnd its most carefully considered nets may bo sot down by partisans as partial , unjust nnd malicious if directed ( iRntust a political Idol. The son * ate having found Houlnngor guilty of trea son nnd misappropriation of government funds , it would naturally bo eupnosod that ho would bo done for as a loailor of n causa or party. But such has not boon the case , These newspa pers which supported him before the ver dict was rendered have as loyally supported him since , nnd his followers of Hollovlllo and Monttnnrtro , two of the most papulous voting ing districts of Paris , have boon rather moro than less devoted to his political fortunes slnco than before the vordtct of the sonata was proclaimed ; they hnvo hold tnootlngs of vast numerical proportions nnd made publto demonstrations in his fuvor which clonrly Indicate thnt their confidcnao In him has not been nt nil shaken by the notion of the sen- nto. The late elections In the several dis tricts for counclllors-gonor.il went against Uoulnnpor , but the Issue between the princi ples of the government nnd these of lioutnn- gor were not so sharply drawn In that contest - test as they will bo In the approaching ono. The councillors-general have nothing to do with the revising of the constitution , with abolishing tbo sonata nnd restricting or maintaining the rights of the olorgy , nnd tlio doputlos hnvo practically all to do with de termining these things. The previous elec tion cannot therefore bo accepted ns even a satisfactory Indication of the results of the coming ono , and whether Houlangor shall appear re-established ns n political force or disappear finally iw ono Is yet uncertain , lloth parties nssumo to bo confident of suc cess , and apparently the government party with best reason. * * Five parliamentary elections will soon beheld hold in Great Britain wntch will as fairly test public opinion on the question respecting British issues as tlio general election in Franco next SunUav will test French opinion on French and European questions. The Ulnustoninns appear to bo confident of holdIng - Ing their QWII in two of the four scats now vacant , and which were represented during the last parliamentary elections by liberals. The loyalty of Jonn Burns , the labor agita tor , to his political friends Insures the election tion of the Gludstonlans in Dundee , Scot land , by a largo majority. Burns refused to Btnud there us a socialistic candidate. That would give too much comfort to the tori cs , and might onnblo thorn to win a seat. In the Egin Burghs the liberals expect to gain by an increased majority , ns the Scotch dissen tient liberals of ISSG nppoar to h.ivo returned to the Qladstonian fold. The principal con tests then will 1)0 In North Buckinghamshire , where the Glndstonlnns with a popular can didate bopo to overcome nn advcrdo majority of 71 at the 1830 election , and in Peterbor ough , whore they nro lighting a family fac tion anil trying to overcome n tory majority of aoo in u vote of 3,000. The Peter borough constituency is the most strongly Protestant In England and was represented in parliament for years by tbo anti-popery poli tician Whalloy. The libor.ils now hope to gain the borough on account of Balfour's co quetting with the Irish Catholic bishops , The outcome will bo Interesting. * t # The meeting of the czarowitch nnd the kaiser , it nponrs , lost no warmth from hav ing boon so loner delayed , nnd ns the fore runner of the pzar's visit to Potsdam it may put nn end to the rather ungracious grumb lings of some of the German newspapers over what they have chosen to consider the czar's tardy return of courtesy. It is true that moro than a year has gone by since Emperor - poror William's visit to Russia , nnd also that it was his first journey after coming to the til rune. But there must always bo sucn a casting of pollco horoscopes and preliminary tracking of nihilists before the czar can tnovo out of his domains that a postponement of intended trips can never bo safely Judged from a political standpoint. On the other hand , the inference from tbo unusual honors accorded to the czarowitch that bo is moro favorably inclined toward Germany than his father seems hasty , and certainly is not in accord with what lias boon understood htthorto. What , the fervor nnd brilliancy of his reception may fairly bo inferred to indi cate is that the Gorman government wishes to show to nil the world its desire for cordial rotations with Russia , and there never has boon any roil ground to doubt the sincerity of that dcslro. # * Samoa's three kings , relieved of foreign Influence , nro conducting thamsulvcs in a commcndably pacific nnd amiable fashion , such as could hardly bo expected from a trio of rival candidates for the throne With a courtesy that has a royal flavor , oven if it comes from the south seas , Malioton , on bolng brought back by the Germans from his unjust banishment , insisted oit not imme diately displacing Matuafa , urging ill health , nnd that Mataafa had really boon made the depository of regal power by the patriot pop ulation. Uut Mataafa was no Joss earnest to have it understood that ho had boon tlio rop- rosontntivo of Mullotoa till the latter should roturn. Now it appears that Malioton was at length , quietly restored to power , und that thereupon these friends both withdraw to Manono to await the action of our country on the Berlin conference. Manono is a little island of nbout three square miles nrua'in , closed within the sea roof of the largo island of Upolu , on which Apia , ttio capital , Is situ ated. They are accordingly Intently bout on not coming into conflict with iCing T.una- scso , who is presumably still at Apia , and is certainly qnlot und tractable. With such cooduct on the part of the throu icings , tho- three treaty powers ought to find little trouble in arranging the now Samoaa gov ernment. # * * Prlnco Albert , of Monaco , if ho really breaks up the palatial Casino nt Monte Carlo , will oo entltloil to the credit of a rare sacrifice of personal interest. For the Casino ut Monte Carlo Is , In u very material sense , his principality. It is from the renting of this that the rovunuo of Monaco has been derived - rived for the last twenty years , und during all that period the subjects of the prince huvo boon exempted from taxation. To abolish gambling in the Casino now means to iniposo taxes again upon a people who have learned to enjoy u government without paying tor it , and it requires a bravo man to tuko such a radical step as this iu the treat ment of his subjects. It Is sincerely to be hoped that Prlnco Albert possesses the requisite moral courage to begin his rolgn over his small Mediterranean territory by putting into execution the scheino with which the Berlin dispatch credits him. Monte Carlo has boon a disgrace to the con tinent of Europe slnoo 1853 , when the ( Jasluo 11 rut uroso on Its beautiful alopua. It has been the scene of innumerable sulcitlns , tno thuuter of blasted hope * , nnd tbo grave nf lost honor. Its blighting influences have not boon confined to Franco or Italy , the conti nent , or l5aropo. They have stretched across oceans and tulnod the prospaaU of families nil orer the olvllliod world.
