M. A UEliBI., ( In Britain there arc over a c. n, and there are 1,200 workmen nvint-ra of town and tourity councils, '■">1 boards, etc. The number, he thought, would be doubled if members wera paid salaries. "Whefri asked if he did not think that the payment oC members would lead to corruption, Mr. Burns said that aa far as that waa concerned he believed it would have an opposite effect in Great Britain. Since the adoption of the etglit-hour day by the government, Mr. Burns said it had become very popular among large private firms, and the movement was fast gaining ground among the various trades. He also stated that the condition of the English workman had been purposely misrepresented in this country for political purposes. lie laughed at the*ia.a of pauper labor at home, and said that the advantages of the American workirtgman's position had been magniued for plmiUy reasons. Prices of rent, food, clothing, etc., must also be considered, he said, when rates of wages were compared. In regard to his socialistic views, jfr. 1'urik< said that he believed in the natlonaliSatlon of land, railways, mines aim a number of other things. Socialism would win in England by gradual process and was growing very fast, with the concurrence of educated thought. The nationalization of land he thought less important in England than here, a3 the British wore mora of a manufacturing people. It was likely to be brought about there by means of taxation, graduated and cumulative. The visitors will be taken round to the municipal buildings and offices today, and to-night, a mass-meeting and public reception to Burns will be held at Cooper Union. A dinner will be tendered him on Tuesday night and on Wednesday he leaves for Denver. Sconcs nt I lie Steamship Poet. New York, Dec. 3.—John Burns, M. P., acd represt ntatlve of amalgamated labor In England, arrived hero on the Cunard steamer Etruria. Samuel GompOrs, - president of the American Federation of Labor, and a couple of local labor leaders went down the bay 011 a revenue cutter and boarded the big liner at Quarantine to receive the noted Englishman. The real welcome, however, did not occur until Mr. Burns ran down the gang-plank and landed, breathless, among a hundred < nthuslastic members of different trades union organizations, who had gathered to meet him. As the Etruria was being warped Into her wharf a band played "Hail to the Chief" and! other inspiring airs, wlilch brought Mr. Burns from the shelter of the cabin into the drizzling rain. lie stood at tile rail of the ves- S' 1 and looked down upon hundreds of upturned faces and a sea of waving umbrellas. Finally, when he appeared on the gang-plank, the crowd cheered and the stevedores and laborers on the dock threw their hats into the air and gave a lusty hurrah. Mr. Dumas, representing Typographical Union No. t>, stepped forward and delivered an address. It was several minutes before yp. i;urns could be heard in reply owing to the continued cheering. After some handshaking with labor leaders, Mr. Burns was escorted to tho Colonade hotel. Mr. Burns is to attend the annual congress of the American Eeclk'ration of Labor in Denver, which begins on December 10. When interviewed later at his hotel Mr. Burns said in answer to a lues' tion that he undoubtedly favored independent political action for the labor parties in both this country and England!.Mr. Burns said that he had been a member, of parliament for two years and pf the county council six. He is a member of the Amalgamated Engineers, one of the. greatest of la1 or organizations, including 75,000 members in its ranks. He stated that he had spent sis weeks in prison, and narrowly escaped serving a term of five years for propagating opinions which w re at one time very unpopular, but had since conio to be regarded with inoi« favor. ' Speaking of labor in this country, Mr. Burns expressed his, surpri:-''* that notwithstanding universal suffrage and the payment of salaries to members of congress, there was not one direct representative of labor < ither in the American house of representatives or the senate, sion. ■ Most important among these, from political point- 'of view, nr.? the four fto-ealied "pop-gun" tariff bills, sent over frofn the house At, c»ose of the laBt• sfcssjQn. ,, Mr. Jones of and Mr. Harris, of t!|o -ftnansp i,committer have said1 that they iatenfled to call these bills up and cspeciaHy the sugar Mil. nt the earliest possible moment, but It. is not likely Jthat they will urge them during this Week. < As it now stands on the senate ealendar the house bill providing f"r free Bugar was amertded by the senate finance committee by imposing a duty of forty per cent, on all sugars. he house bill providing for free coal was amended by the committee by imposing a duty on bituminous coa when imported from any country that levies a duty on American coal. In view of the recent complications at Blueflelds, Mr. Morgan will take the earliest opportunity to bring to the attention of the senate, his bi.l relating to .the construction of h, There is but little doubt that the bill will pass the senate, but its fate In the house is surrounded by elements of doubt. The house bill to establish a uniform system of bankruptcy, which was favorably reported to the senate, will be a matter of earnest discussion. There was also reported the house bills to admit the territories of Arizona and New Mexico to the sisterhood of states. Mr. Faulkner will endeavor to add these new stars to the flag before this congress dies. Washington, Dec. 3.—The house of representatives will convene in the third and final session of the Fifty third congress this afternoon. When its term runs out at noon on the fourth of March next, it will have heen in session for fifteen months. The attendance of members to-day is not expected to number much, if any more than a quorum—indeed, the record of arrivals at the postolflce of the house up to last night was far short of a majority. . For a day or two, however, it is more than probable there will be no absolute necessity for the presence of a quorum. Besides listening to the reading of the message of President Cleveland, it is not likely that anything else will be done. The houso may hear the announcement of the. death of Hon. Myron I!. Wright, of Pennsylvania. No programme of business has been arranged by the committee on rules. Mr. Outlvwaite, one of the majority members of the committee had not arrived in the city yesterday, and Speaker • Crisp and Mr. Qatehiiigs' had not constiited the minority members, Messrs. Heed and I3urrows. A meeting of the committee will be held after tlio adjournment to-day and they will doubtless agree upon some line of action. Among the bills that are likely to come up are the Nicaraguan canal bill, and the bill to permit railroad companies to pool passenger and freight business. The contested election case of Williams versus Settle from North Carolina, which was postponed from last session by agreement, will also be brought up but the results of the fate election have divested it of interest. Aside from the ■Tegular appropriation bills, therefore, there is not much business in sight that is likely to receive final or decisive action; A nevf financial policy, the recent . bond issue, and the investigation Of Judge Ricks of the United States court for the northern district of Ohio, in relation to his action as clerk of the court, will doubtless be discussed. Chairman Bayetft of the appropriation committee, Bays he will have the pension and appropriation bills on the calendar early In the week, and that if no other more important business ' presents itself for consideration the house will send them to the senate before the week closes. The pension bill is now ready to be reported, and the'final meeting of the pub-tjommitte"e harirrp in charge tlio fuiiilitat Ions bill was held at 11 o'clock to-day. Generals Schofield and Batcheller were present for examination. Gen. Schofield is president of the ordnance board and General Batcheller had submitted 3onfe estimates for work at Fortress Monroe.

Tho Clydesdales, perhaps tlie horses most highly-esteemed l>y farmers, especially in the hilly countries, are bred in. districts bordering' on the Clyde, and owe their origin to one of the dukes of Hamilton, who crossed some of his best Lanark mares with stallions he imported from Flanders. This breed is conspicuous for its high courage, activity and endurance. Several years ago the late ( en. l'rel told me how successful ho had been in mating his thoroughbred '1oxopliy 1 it*' with Clydesdale mares. "When you use," said he, a "thoroughbred for draught mares, alvwijs use the biggest and best you have, and you will be sure to produce draught horses second to none, llorses good as Stockwel 1 are not too good for Clydesdales. What 1 have bred will goon their knees to move the heaviest loads. They won't be beaten."1 This fact proves how beneficially a good cross of fresh blood operates, and particularly so when tho new blood is obtained from the thoroughbred—not from inferior specimens of this breed, but from tlio very best—from "horses us good as Stock well." The Clydesdale differs from the Shire horse in that it has a long, low back, short, fiat ribs, good, hard legs, and long pasterns, which would seem to have been derived from a cross with a half-bred or thorough-bred horse. This certainly is not a desirable conformation, and our Scottish brothers have for several years past inoculated this breed by tho introduction of the best Sliiro blood, both male and female, which has resulted in tho production of animals with shorter and stronger pasterns. This breed is much- in request in this country, and tho best specimens are readily sold to Americans at high figures —Nineteenth Century. Dedfcatod a llusslan Church.
