It gave the atreet railway the use of the atreet for twvnty years on the condition that the company enarged a fire, tent fare between thia (Sty and Cincinnati, where the tare ia now aix and two. thirds cents. Thia ordinanee waa the outcome of the numeroua attempts to an agreement between the city and company. The latter has been tlalmiug a perpetual franchise to the tr.t-t and the eity haa been denying that. Tho ordinance proposed to let this legal question remain ia inr tlie next twenty years.

The oppoeatia to the ordinanee haa been made on tho line that it favored vuuitmij um out, yieia tne return to the city that so valuable franchise ought to do. It haa been ln-istl that tlie city ought to receive in addition to cheap fares a percentage of the earnings of the com piny, or com fixed aaiouut, uoh aa a rear 1 the privilero it gave; and furiher. mat mere ought to oe no delay in as-eertaioing the eity'a legal right to the franchise.

When the mem tiers of th Cabinet separated yesterday it waa practically deatdHl that the Queen's speeck from tha throne at the opening of the new Parliament would be limited to a blank intimation that Parliament had not met for th transaction of busi-nees. The militant section of the Conservative party, who want combat the opposition foutranoe, feel thoroughly visits ted at th abandonment of what they believe to be a strong position, both for often and defence. Lord Salisbury is to visit th Queen on Monday pre-vioo to th final Cabinet council for th consideration of th exact form of th speech from th throne. Powerful iaflutnoe will in th interval brought to bear on th Queen and Cabinet Ministers alik to indue Lord Salisbury ta adopt a bolder policy.

Th great lock-cut at Homestead Is just one month old and haa alretdy coat, over 11,000.000, besides the sacrifice of a half-eeore of human lives ani serious injuria to many that number. Of th loss in cash, th military haa cost in ronnd figure, I3JO.00O; the workmen hav lost in wages $100,000, and the Carnegie have lust and spent aa much more in jetting new workmen. Th workmen at Beaver Falls, Du-anesne and th union mill in Pittsburgh hav Ion about $100,000 in wage ty their sympathy strike, and th firm ia out SI 00.000 by th idleness of these plants. Added to thia will be the county expenses for Deputy Sheriffs and murder trials, the expense to the eity for hunting Anarchist and to tlie nation for Congressional lnvetrigatlon.

B1W Committee, which has charge of all poorly-paid labor, meet all demand upon It, though daily tho long line ol persons atking atuttance grown larger.

George B. Snowden and- number of members of his staff returned to Philadelphia to-day from Homestead, and nukes tb ait nation out there reverts to very serious and critical condition they will remain here. In an interview Gen. Snowden aaid: "lher ar few peopl in Philadriphia who understand accurately th condition ot affair at Homestead at present or what it ha been recently. There has been a practical press censorship out there, and the newspaper correspondent hav actually been prevented fiom describing accurately the condition of affairs.

When th division wad ordered out there were pwpecta "of the sum revolutionary methods at Pitta-burgh, Braddook aod other place in that section. Thee threatening signs outside ot Homestead hav disappeared, and the regiments of th Second brigade ar now sumoient to attend to the trouble in that place." Do you think the trouble is over?" By no means. The bad feeling is suppressed somewhat, but it atiil ex. lit sd so long aa tb sitaation remain a tt ia now th Second brigade will remain at Hacnewtead. It i just possible if their stag ia pwdonged other regiments from other brigade may be called upon to relieve them, and th Firct brigade or sum it regiment may be called out again.

Ihe strikers, such of them aa are on th ground now, for many of thee hav disappeared, are full of threat, and it is a common thing to hear men declare that a soon as tuo- soldiers leave they will hav th lives- ot th men who hold their places in th work. Phil-adelphian can hardly appreciate the actual comirunirm of these people. They believe- that tan work ar uuite a much theirs a they are Carnegie', and it ia curious now tins sentiment renders settlement nt the trouble difficult and tedious. Tb ultimate result will Ik I believe, that the company will regain and operate theaa with men of tneir own keleetion." It is reported that yon may be made defendant in a prosecution that may be brought in the lams ail air." "So I have read, in th nswspaper, but I know not I ling ess Mi bout rt. I think I have explained myself perfectly in that matter.

When tit oflenee of Private lams wa reported to me I ordered that he be dimraced and drummed nut of th reigmemw It was not my province nor. wa i. nectary for to write an osNty on Instruct tkr CoL Streator how a aoldler guilty or rack a crime should disgraced. That matter bo lei entirely in Col. Streator' hands.

Aa to tlie nature of the runishinent I waa ignorant ot until it 'had been indicted, but I have my own opinion a to the character of the punishment that should meted out to a soldier guilty of treason in the time of actual Revolution."
