C. Vo.se, Eliot Todd and John A. (iiliucv. A summaiy of toe opinions expressed show that strikes and lockouts are au inevitable Tesult of th wage system and of the present form ol labor organizations. Arbitration is Commended, and in most eaa-s the enactment of lawn embodying Its princlules are favoied.

Pro'. Clark savs Th- coiupelltion which is the bams of the orthodox political economy is already a thing of t'-ie past in too sphere of wane adjustments It haw been vitiated by combinations on Both sides." Prof. James suggests that arbitration has tbe great advadiage of subjecting the nets of the parties to it 10 the eliiriei't and powerful control of an energetic public opinion. Jt. recognizes the interests at stake, not merely those of the laborer and employer, bur.

also those i-f tue rumunitv at lart'-. Edward Trow, secretary of the Utica Board of Arbitration for the manufactured iron trade ot England, says: I bo lienetlr aud suco-ss ol tlie sstem of arbitration for settling sputcs over tne stent of st'ikea and lockouts faliy establishes Its utility and adcip' ability, and no parallel can be found lu the, history of trade where dltli-cubies have beeu settled so advantageously. lliiuy cases are cited where manufacturers have adapted arrangements for ihe rtistributiou of certain per ceutages of surplus proli.s amonk. emp oyee.s- Chas. A fc of Minneapolis, nay: "We have uo reason to regret the amount of money which we have thus distributed workmen, as it lias vivcu us a very loya and class of men.

Hud we certainly do not think wo arc the poorer t.y tue outlay. Y'e never have the least trouble wich our employees or dia-ailoction umuuK ih-ui." R. licber New-ton says: "1 society is to mvauce and the mass of to lie lifted higher, a. more just division of profits. be found: nay, even if we are to avoid bloody revolution, imd annrchy.

such a reform must accomplish 'tseif in some way." A prominent woikuian suggests that If half the intellect tuat nas lireu employed to -oncntia U7 per cent, of the wealth of our cities Into ihe hands of three per cenc. of their population to reduce wages to tne En-mpean oasis, had been t'Xi ic im-iI lu discov-enuitan equitable basis for the distribution of the ot industrial enterprises, it would long BROhavt. been discovered. "John Jarreit advocates t-h-iiinc if based on luuustnal partuerbdps. He wou'd have the workmen purchase shares in the stock the compauy by which they were employed He aito reirard.s intemperance as the greatest coise of American workmen.

on Tbe Question of Co-operation there Is a er-at variety of opinion. J. C. Farrtleld of New York believes hat when industrial co operatiou la established, th day of dedveranue is at hand for working classes, whose heiitae is poverty and toll. Asa rule tne manufacturers ai not regard Sluductive oo-operalion as practicable in useoamry.

Many experiments have been Uiade. but with lu.i indent success. Their failure is ascribed to want, of tier, dishonest oiiicials, lack of education una tne obstacles thrown in its ay by corpora tioxs. The Labor Commissioners advocate cooperation as beneficial to both emnloyer and employed. It williucrea.se the earnings of capital by obdailn loux aud expensive strikes, aud make the meu more faithful in their work and more careful of the interests their employer.

A. H. lAtufor.h, of the Colorado Coal and on Company, says "The solution of the lole question of the relation of capital and aor must be evolved out of iha chaos nch now exists, and mach time aud money 11 be spent before ihe solution la reached. The employer who recognizes the just rights of his meu, and who places himself on a looting ol equality and confidence with them Is the tit -cut and hence will survive, nd thus eventually will the problem be worked out. Thct co-operative plan, pure und simple, can never come into pbiy except as regards enterprises on small scae, and even then tc la not likely to succeed, but the i o-operative prinuiple In some form or other must be the basis upon whicn industrial enterprises will unaiy be adjusted.

The appreciation of wealth In a few bauds, coupled with discontent among tne niastea, are incompatible with republican Institutions, and safety lies la some middle course between an aristocracy of wealth ou the one ha ud, and Soolaluni on the ot tier." FURIOUS FLAMES. An Kxtensive Conflagration in Detroit Several liuildings in tbe Heart of tlie City to Ashes, Involving a Loss of Over 81,500,000. Detroit, Jan. 1. Shortly after 9 o'clock this morning smoke waa observed coining from D.

M. Ferry fc building, on Brush street, between CroKban aud La-layette streets. Au alarm woj quickly tumid In, a second aud third alarms following in quick suooession, there bein a promise of a bi contliiUon in the heart of the business part of ttte city. Tne dre oepartment turned out In force, and feoon euri-ouuded the burning building with hose. The iHuies had started in the packing departmenr, on the corner of Lafayette and Bruba streets aud eoou enveloped the wholt ouildlBg, wkinh was a mere shell, having but oue solid wall iasiue of tbe outer -walls.

Bravely and intelligently the hromen kept at their work, but all enorts seemed u-tife, the flames spreading rapidly, until at one lime there Beeuied a probability that the whole district in whicii the burning bn lding is situated waa doomed. Tbe buildings on the opposite side of Brush and Crogaan streets caught lire a number of times, but the department man-anea to keep the dames from totally destroying them. Acroos the alley from D. M. Ferry tiuuaing.

In the same square and facing on Randolph street, are White's grand theatre and the Windsor block aud a smaller building used aa a restaurant. The flames leaped aoross the adey and began to eat into the theatre. First the roof cautihe and soon fell In with terrible crash, tiring the whole interior of the building, after driving away the Tuen who bad been working on the Ferry block through the windows of tbe toeatre. THIS CHASHLXG or WINDOW GLASS was tbe Hignal for the Increased fury of the tttneo which seemed to laugh as the efforts of tbe firemen. Au uuoieuse crowd blocked the streets In' every direction, and at tikiea were in tbe -wav of the oepartment.

By 10 o'clock ne Ferry block was a mass of flames, and the -walls bad commenced to fall, creating something of a panic among the throng of idle spectators. Numerous narro escapee occurred among the firemen who worked close to the flames, -wrapped in re pealed. soaked, but rapidly changing clothes. By 10:30 o'clock, Wnite's Theatre beea seized and the firemen -were compelled to turn their attention more to saving (be bnlldtngs. ou the oppoMte side of KandulpU street, although still keeping numerous streams of water playing en the burning building.

At II oVLck tne men of No. 3 Fire Company taised a ladder in front of tke theatre, to get a better chance at the flames. Finding that the rauid advanolng tire would prevent any effective work at that point, the men disconnected the ladder and had about reached toe ground when several feet of the cornice fell on the ladder and had aboot reached the jaid wfceu several feet of tha cornice fell ou tue ladder wagou. Capt. Jtiobarrt Fuiuu was struck '-on the head by the bricks an instantly killed, and ii reman White was badly bat not fatally Injured.

Boon after the flames spread to the Wesson block, on tbe corner of Randolph and Croghan streets, and that building was soon KXTELOPM IN rLlMKH. Although the buildings across Croghan street were threatened, and caught onoe or twice, the department managed to keep it within the square named, an lj 12 o'clock it was fully nnder control. To-nUbttbe flames are still raging fiercely, but have been confined within the walls of tbe buildings already mentioned. During tbe worst of the tire the wind had been from the south and the single building on the corner of Lafayette and Randoph streets was not seriously Injured, but all the rest of the square waa a total loss. The burned diatriot belonged to what is known as the Brush estate, having been th site of the old homestead.

I M. Ferry Co. built their mamuior.n estaollshment six years azo. While's Theatre was originally built to 'accommodate re Peninsular t-en-eerbnnd. a Mlehlean off-hoot of tde North American Baefirerbnud.

The company was organtze.d iu 10, and this Music Hall was built at tnat tline. being opened with an annual festival, on Anr, 30, 1880. D. M. Ferry onildine occupied hlf the square, being one of the largest in the citv Their seed business was probably The largest in the Unite 1 Slates.

In the miild- ing bnrned ti-day 400 people are usually employed, benides 400 more etnployert on their immense farms ou'slde the. city. It ws providential tjiat the tire oci-u-red on a holl iv as otherwise the loss oi life would have probably been very irreat. Detinue figures of the I.OSS1.S cannot be itiven. but tile total will reach not less lhan tl.wo.noo The stock al ne in I.

M. Ferry i liutldin i estimated to have liren wonh from Slno.nOO to 120.ooo, and their bull was valued fci.j.000. As to tbeoruin of the tire itiv-re ore no well defined thenrief. Home of tho em-ployees hint at incendiai ism. claiming that i hi re were no tires in that pit of tie bu-lU-iii first attacked by inn flames, aad that some ouisnld a-'eney 'must have been responsible for the fire.

Tue olliccrs of the company are completely at a loss to account for the origin of tlie fire. Ohio. I Ohio, Jan. 1 C. R.

He is cliar-i-a with having used the bank's money forsoecnlatlve eute prises In which he was interested and which do not furnish sufficient security. Th directors, 'together -with Bank Ki-aiuiner Uetcuell, who came, to Clinton today, have been hard at work on the books a.

So lar as can be learned the deposits amount to over iJOO.ono. und, aceonliug to statements froty a quarter which is supposed tu be authentic. President McNeil una anpropiidted this amount. The belief pre ails th it 1 he examination of the books of the bank will develop new aud startling features.

McNeil has not been hea-d from since Tttesday. It Is said that a resident of Clinton saw him in Nashua, 11., last Wednesday. Nothing further retarding the real condition of the bank's finances will be known for a day or two, and, possibly, not then.

'Ihe call Issued for to morrow's convention does not meet witn lh approval of a large number of miners, as they seem to consider lo an acknowledgement of defeat.

Hem Kice, who rep.ied in his humorous aud telling style, and by Mr. August Ktce who expressed the gratitude of the Arm in a tVedug way, altogether fatherly, felicitous and ap proprlate. From this scene an ad journment was ordered to the festive board still another surprise on the same floor, where was enjoyed a feast of reason and a flo -v of soul by-employers and employees alike, all mixed up together in goodly company atone with each other and at peace with all the world. The delicate viands and the sweet morsels disappeared like magic, while the popping of champagne sounded like heavy pioket tiring just before a battle. There were toasts tj the tlroi, and toasts from them back again to the boys, till every drop was drank and everybody in the house had been duly re-memoeied.

This sort of kindly feeliug between employer and employee 1b the secret of success in any business. It Is the lesson taught by Bioe.

so, says: The chess mach for Ihe champ us nip of the world between Steimtz aud Zukertorc has at last become a certainty, and the two contestants met last night at the rooms of the Manhattan Chess Clao and formally signed the articles of agreement, and the roles and regulations which are to govern the match. Owing to the de ay of James Mlnch of London, Dr. Zukertort's second, in forwarding the tatter's share of the stake money Cuarlcs F. Buck, of New Orleans, tha official stakeholder, ihe committee in charge or tha arrangements here did not male any great effort to secure a hall In which the game will be played, or to draw up a set ef rules for the in ate a. But, although no 1 fticlal Information nas yet beea received from Mr.

Buck, that Dr. Zukertort's stake money has been deposited, a letter from Mr. Mlnchin, whicii arrived on the Arizona on Tuesday, says tne money was sent on Dec. 15. The committee considered this sufficient evidence that the stake money, if not already iu the stakeholder's bauas.

is ou the way thsre, aad immediately called a meeting of tne principals last night. Unless a change is made in the present plan, the game will ope.n on Wednesday next at No. 44 West Fourteenth street. The games are to be play ed on alternate day a lour hours in toe afternuou and four hours at night, lu case a game ie not decided on tae day of its betclnumg. is be finished on the day following.

The player who has ten games won Ursc will be declared the winner. The play is to contiuue in New York until cither man has four games lu his favor, when they will go to 8t. Louis and contiuue there until three or four games more have been won From there the players will go to New Orleans for tbe finish. In case there is a tie of nine games, the naatca is to be withdrawn. At tne opening game 30 moves must be made in the first two hours, then each pUyer most make at least 15 moves an hour, and all that: are made above, aud tae time 6aved will be credited to him and allowed on the next hour.

That spectators may watch the moves as they are being made, a chess boerd four feet square will be placed in a position where it inyTe easily seen, and chessmen will be transferred from diamond to oi.mond, forming au exact repre sentation or tue game. i Mr. Steinltz, according to the preliminary rules, could have claimed eitner the mini-oum forfeit of $50 or the maximum forfeit of $250 for his opponent's failure deposit his money by the time agreed upon He first decided to take tne former, but generously withdrew the claim when the certainty of the stake being deposited was assured.

Dec. 30. Charles Dickens's Death. His Last Moments Touchingly De. scribed by His Daughter.

Onfthe Monday morning the sisters were" to let'e for London. Charles Dickens had an lutenee dislike to and shrinking from aU lea v-taking He never used the word gokloy if he could help tt and generally left hs tor a short absence with a kiss vt nod But ou 1 his day hta daughter Kate said 1 I must say gooaoy to papa," and wen i over to the chalet, where he was busy wrilng As a rule, ben he was busy, he wui just put up his oneek to be kissed; butthis day he took bis daughter la his arm), spying tiod bless yon, state 1" Au4ihere among the branches ot tbe trees, a in fog the birds and interfile and scent of -no 4eis, she left him. Afl that day and the next ho was well, but sooi liredan usual thing fer him. Oa Weinesday morning he was an excellent spjis, taiklntr to "auntie" about hie book, fiwin Diood," and, as he was to go to his omte in London the next day he would work In $i0 chalet and take no drive or work uo- ttl the evening. He once came to the house -in fie middle of tue day, amused a cigar la tbeeonsui vatory, whiua iajprovemem, he took intense delight in, and went back to the- uhslst.

it was not ua'U he and his sister-le- lav, the only member of the family home ju thuD, sat down to dtnuer that She liu-ticad a change in his color and expression.

He struggled against the fit that wis cumiog, and she. btcouiiug seriously ahwmeo, entreated him to oome and ail ouwn. -Ves, ou the ground," he answered, qaite distinctly, and, on her going to assist he slid trum her arms and fell oa toe 1 fiSor.

A couch was brougo' into the in ing- reom, ou wnich ne was laid. Telearams were sent to his children and to his London doctor, and a messenger sent for the doctor Koctaester, aud the faithful friend and cSaipaniou sat alone, for a time, watching. -Tbe too daughters and Mr. rteard arrived -taat evening, the eldest son the next morn-leg, and his son Henry, from Cambridge, the evening of the 9ih, too late, alas. We watched all through the night and all throngk the next day.

out he never once opened bia eyes, or shuwtd one sign of eon- sdoosubas. It was butter so for him. The last "food-bye" would have caused him much yaiu aud sorrow. But we could tell the mujenti tea minutes past o'clock when his apint took flight.
