Wabhiwotow, Mmy 18.—Coagreasmai Kelley, of Pennsylvania, who baa just re turned to Washington from an extended torn through some of the southern states, begui last March, records his observances ot progress in that section of the oountry and predicts a great future for the new south. Mr. Kelley said: "In 1875, when I visited Florida, the people there seemed to be without hope or aspiration; but for the last six or seven yean the state has taken a position in the front ranks of the new south. The people an energetic, alert and confident of the future. From Kissemmee city and Rock Ledge I visited farms on the lands reclaimed by the drainage company and on native alluvial fields, and after a careful inspection I am prepared to say that Florida is destined to a high rank among the agricultural states of the Union. The rich soil is being intelligently cultivated with great profit. When I left Florida it was for a season of rest at Anniston, Ala., one of the new oities that has grown up in the mineral regions. From AnnMon I made excursions to other towns in Alabama and in Georgia. After a month's stay in Anniston I turned my steps toward Tennessee, and passed ten days most pleasantly at South Pittsburg, which, as Anniston ha» just done, will soon surprise the oountry by establishing itself As an industrial outer of large proportions aad great activity. Everywhere throughout the mineral regions of the south enterprise and prosperity are moving hand in hand. Nor is this prosperity of the new south confined to its mineral regional Though the poverty Haverhill, Km., May 18.—The greatest lockout that ever took plaoe In the boot and ■hoe Industry of the country was begun by the manufacturer* of this city yesterday.

On last Wednesday morning the firm of Chick Brothers received a new price list, which it is asserted by that firm was a material advance. The members of the firm refused to sign the list, and on Thursday morning it was again presented with the demand that it be signed within an hour. In case it was not signed the threat was made that the men would be called out. The demand was notl acceded to, and before noon every man in the factory under the authority of the Knights of LaboPwas out of the shop, and work was stopped in all departments.

Tobonto, May 18.—Last night the governor general attended a performance of "Patienoe," by the Harmony club, at the Orand Opera house. After the close of the performance, when he and Lady Lansdowne came out to enter their carriage, they found, instead of hones being attached to thecarHage, that a large body of students had taken possession of it' Their excellencies entered and the students, accompanied by a large crowd of their friends, dragged the carriage from the opera house to the government house, cheering all the way. At the government house hi* exoellency delivered a brief speech, thanking them for their demonstration of loyalty. This demonstration was the crowning one of all, and he thanked them all from the bottom of his heart. Three cheers Tobohto, May 18.—Excitement over the visit of William O'Brien reached a crista W» terday afternoon, when a large mass meeting was held in the open air in Queen's park. The entire polioe foree were on the groand, and at a convenient distance troops ware held in readiness to suppress any outbreak. Fifteen thousand is a fair estimate of the number of people present before the cloas of the meeting, and that such a large meeting could have been the scene of a determined and organised attempt to prevent free speech is not at all creditable. There is no doubt, bad it not been for the good humor of the crowd generally, a serious riot would have occurred. As it was, there were several band to hand encounters, and in" two or three instances clubs were used with telling effect. There was a solid group of Mr. O'Brien's friends in front of tSe platform and close to them about 300 or 400 students and volunteers. These two gang* kept shouting each for their own side, jostling, swaying from side to side, and diversifying this by occasionally puiumeling each other. On two occasions the police, about 300 of whom were present, had to charge this portion of the crowd to preserve order. The anti-leaguers were there to drown the voices of the speakeA, and they succeeded admirably, it being impossible to catch anything but disjointed sentences even by those on the platform and within a couple of yard* of the speakers. A number of women in the crowd were badly crushed, but held their ground. When O'Brien, accompanied by Killbride, arrived with the executive committee of the local National league branch, they were received with loud cheers from their friend*, and with groans from the other side. Mr. Mulligan, president of the Toronto branch, prosiiled, and lite appearance to introduce Mr. O'Brien was the tignal for a tremendous outburst of cheering and counter cheering, which was continued until it became almost wearisome. -Interjecting a word now and then between the rounds of interruption he said that they were assembled to welcome the most beloved and patriotto of Irish leaders. Cheers for Ireland and for O'Brien wers met by lusty ringing of "God Save the Queen." He would lay for the edification of tboeewbo used the national anthem to obstruct them that he and his friends wers more loyal because niore law abiding. Those who indulged in the disorderly conductor interrupting them did not aid their own cause by this constant interruption.

"This ground belongs to me," said Mr. Switser. "I bought it and paid for it and can hold as many meetings as I wish here, in •pite of the tar and feathers of these devils s!ad their Imps.

They have learned the value of deep plowing and of following the chill plow by a heavy subsoil plow. They continue to grow some cotton, but net upon the surface of exhausted fields, and they diversify their crops. I am speaking now of the progressive agriculturist. The representatives of the new south, instead of the crop of cotton, have fields of wheat, rye, clover and other crops and to save their old time 'Gnano' bills, as they call their hills for manufactured fertilisers, they tarn under' green crops, and aid that with manure from sleek and well fed herds of cattle. The great boom at the sooth is near at hand, and it will not be confined to the mineral regions of that richest section of our oountry, but it will include the agricultural regions as well." the poor Far Rockawat, May 18.—A daring and successful burglary was committed at the residence of John D. Cheever, on the south side of Long Island, near the Cedarhurst steeplechase coarse. Over 18,000 worth of silver plate was by the burglars. Matty of the articles were presents to Mr. ana Mrs. Cheever at tfjeir wedding, which occurred a little over • year ago. The burglars gained an entrance to the hod&e by forcing one of the basement doors. Their work was cleanly done and showed a thorough acquaintance with the house and the habits of its huwriss. Mr. Cheever bad two of Pihkerton's men at his house yesterday, and tbey pronounced the work that of experts. The burglars left no trace behind them which might lead to their apprehension except some wsgon tracks, which indicated that they drove away with their booty. Away. Philadelphia, Hay 18.—The Clothing exchange of this city is chafing under the boycott placed upon its goods by the Knights of [«bor, and has appealed to the National exohange for support in contemplated legal proceedings against the Knights. Under its constitution the National exchange cannot help the local manufacture*, but the members Individually can, and it is said that a movement is on foot looking to a combination of manufacturers in this and all other cities against the Knights of Labor in their employ. Several months ago the clothing cutters struck for recognition of their union, and after being out awhile placed a boycott ou the goods of the exchange. The men were invited to return to work last week as union men, but as some of their places had been tilled they declined to do so until this objection was removed, and still kept up the boycott. The exchange insists that its recognition of the Knights is just cause for the removal of the embargo, but the Knights are firm, and laugh at the threats of being sued. Ice Cieam & Strawberry Festal Repeated meetings having failed to alter the determination of either side, the manufacturers voted to close their doors until Chick Brother** men should be ordered back or some step taken toward a settlement by the employes. Rochester, Hay 18.—The Sullivan combination has not yet appeared, and Pat Sheedy, Sullivan's manager, secured counsel last evening and applied to the county judge for an injunction restraining the mayor and polioe from preventing the performance. The judge ordered notice of application to be served, which was done, and the mayor, police commissioners and Sheedy, with their counsel, appeared. The matter was discussed until 10 o'clock last night, when his honor adjourned further hearing until 3 o'clock today.PI IT8TON COMMA.NDERY, NO. 41, K.O.K., Mr. Oeorgs, chairman of the local executive board of the Knights, says that the strike at Chick Brothhr* was made because a reduction was threatened, and because the board found that members of the association were making individual contracts with their help, in violation of the principles of the Knights and of the manufacturers' agreement will have a supper, strawberry and Ice cream Festival at ARMORY HALL, Of 170 shoe firms in town 75 only belong to the Manufacturers' association, and the others will not be affected by the lockout Both sides are determined, and the prospect for a speedy settlement of the difficulties is not flattering. 11 The strangest thing about the burglary is that the cracksmen were able to collect and pack their booty and to help themselves to victuals from the larder without anybody in the house being any th* wiser. Mr. Cheever and his wife retired about 10 o'clock, and neither they nor the servants knew that the house had been entered until morning. The house Is isolated, and the country around is so still at night that one could almost hear a pin drop.

In the vicinity of the rapidly developing mineral regions he says the farms are models of good management and thrift Within four miles of Anniaton, Ala., he saw cue of the finest herds of Jersey cattle and ope of the largest and cleanest dairies be' had ever inspected. It waa built up and owned by a native of Alabama. Near Rome, Ga., be saw herds of cattle and dairies that would do credit to Pennsylvania or New York. Judge Kelley says the fanners and planters of the south are fast learning that, in devoting themselves to cotton only they are. simply competing with each other, and glutting the market year after year by orsr production. He is vary enthusiastic about the future at the south, and closed the interview with the assertion that the agriculture development oI that section would yet astound the country.

At one time the vociferous cheers of O'Brien's friends predominated, and, taking advantage of a lull, Mr. O'Brien threw in his flrst words. Ho said the loud cheer railed would ring around the world that day, and all the vooal talent of Lord Lansdqwne which disturbed them would not drown it The sosne which followed this sentence was one of great confusion. Frantic cheers and deep groans resounded through the air, and might be heard almost for miles distant. O'Brien continued: ' We've been used to interruption; we've been accustomed to noise; we've been accustomed Mi-this sort of thing in the British house: of commons, and we've found it not a bad plan to let the enemy wear themselves out first. I'm glad to hear that noise from that quarter, for it shows me that but a few are clamoring for disturbance, while the thousands of my friends present behave like men.
