The House of Representatives has passed
tie caucus silver bill. Eight Bepublicans
voted against it and others supported it with
the hope that it would be amended in the
Senate. Several Democrats voted against
free coinage, and one supported the Repub
lican bill. The closing hours of the debate
were decidedly lively.

"WASHrxGTOjr. June 7. With all its
fault, which the extreme silver men have
opposed with their might and main, the silver
hill introduced in the House, and protected
by repeated caucuses, was passed late this aft
ernoon by a rood majority. Amotion to
recommit the bill with instructions to report
it with an amendment striking out the
bullion redemption clause was lost.
The discussion which preceded the pass
age of the bill was serious and intense. The
measure was opposed by most of those who
represent a constituency interested in silver
mining, and by others whose constituents
have in a formal way pronounced against
the bill and in favor of free coinage. Of
these the leader was Judge Payson, ot Illi
nois, one of the ablest debaters ot the House,
and his criticism of the conduct of the va
rious Secretaries of the Treasury in regard
to silver during the last four or five admin
istrations was frank and fearless and scath
ing. 2f O DOUBT ARODT IT.
There was no donbt at any time of the
passage of the hilL "While the caucus os
tensibly left members free to act with or
against their party as they pleased,
party lines were never more rigidly drawn,
and many who were opposed to the bill
voted for it, as Judge Payson did, that par
ty discipline might not be impaired, excus
ing themselves by expressing a hope, and
declaring that they had assurances, that the
bill would be changed more to their taste at
'the other end of the Capitol.
The feeling of the real iriends of silver in
both parties is one ot intense opposition to
the bill, though they are forced to admit
that it is better than no bill at all. Some
of them profess to care little what is done,
however, as they are convinced that some
.tray will be found at the Treasury Depart
ment to vitiate the operation of the most
liberal silvei bill it would be possible to
pass, if it were found to interfere seriously
,with the views of the monometallists, the
"Wall street brokers and the money lenders
of the whole country.
HOPING FOE BETTER THIXGS.
The condition of the silver men is a wait
ing one, however. They do not look on this
bill as the finality of silver legislation for
this session, and are confident that it will be
impossible to pass it in the Senate, at least
'bo long as it contains the bullion redemp
tion clause. Their great present grievance
is that the bill was not discussed and passed
with a free expression of opinion.
They blame the bulldozing tactics of the
Speaker in the caucus, and his refusal to
recognize members on the floor of the House
(for the purpose of making amendments
which he knew would not be in accord with
the dictates of the caucus, and their censure
of the Speaker is not spoken with bated
breath.
Sir. Connell, of Nebraska, one of the
ablest and most aggressive of the members
from the silver States, said to the cor
respondent of The Dispatch this evening:
"While I am indignant at the bossisin
which has prevented a fair consideration
aud amending of the bill, I am perfectly
easy in regard to its ultimate fate, for the
silver element is so strong in the Senate
that it is impossible for the bill to pass
that body without being amended to con
form more exactly with the wishes of the
real friends of silver. A few
SENATORS WHO AKE SOTOEIOUS
for -their defense of everything that is
wanted by the great banking houses will at
tempt in the most desperate manner to retain
the worst features of this bill, but their in
terests and associations are so well known
that they will not have much influence. I
am ashamed that the friends of silver in the
popular branch of Congress must depend ou
the Senate for relief, but such is lhe fact,
and they are well convinced that their faith
is not misDlaced."
Representative Payson, of Illinois, opened
the debate in the House to-day, and then
proceeded to criticise the silver policy of the
Hayes, Arthur, Cleveland and Harrison
administrations. He referred to the de
nunciation of the Cleveland administration
by tbe Republican party, and said that be
had indorsed that denunciation all over
Illinois. .Nothing he had said afforded
him more pleasure than the denunciation of
Cleveland's administration for its treatment
or silver. He came down to the Repub
lican administration, and it was no better.
Applause. Silver had no friend in the
Treasury Department since the agitation
began, and when he was asked to vote for a
proposition confiding to the Secretary of the
Treasury discretion in the use of silver, as
a fioncy metal (if this were the end of
iQJfiejwonld vote against it. Never had a
discretion been confided to a Secretary on
ttiisqWstion when it was possible to evade
it that'll bad not been evaded.
. t? ATTACK OX THE CAUCUS.
KrHatcn,
ot Missouri, reiterated and
indorsed
everything the gentleman from
-Illinois had said relative to the hostile at-
"Uttt'dljyjf the Treasury Department toward J
silver. If the gentlemen on the other side
who had on the floor declared themselves in
I I favor of free and unlimited coinage wonld
throw oil the caucus shaccies oeiore me sun
went down to-day silver would be restored
to a perfect equality with gold. To-day the
House was witnessing the triumph of Re
publican machinery, which was running as
it had never run before, with a man in con
trol of it with more brain, more nerve and
more recklessness than any man who had
ever had control of it before. Applause
and laughter.
Mr. Cannon said he wonld vote for the
substitute because he believed that at the
present time and under present condi
tions it was the best that could be secured,
and would insure the use of both metals as
money. While he did not apprehend that
the bill was perfect his judgment was that,
take it all in all, it was
THE SOUNDEST MEASURE
that the House could originate and pass;
and from every standpoint and all things
considered, it met his unqualified approval
and indorsement, standing as he did between
the extreme silver man on the one hand and
the gold monometalist on tbe other. Let
members sec to it that, in the storm of fury
'and passion and demagoguery, thev
legislated so that no man should be cheated,
morning, noon, or night, out of what he had
justly earned. Applause.
Mr. Anderson, of Kansas, spoke in favor
of free coinage. Mr. Perkins, of Kansas,
said the bill did not meet with his approval,
but he would vote for it because fce knew
that in another forum it would be amended.
Mr. Funston, of Kansas, and Mr. Connell,
of Nebraska, favored a tree coinage meas
ure. Mr. Dingley, of Maine, supported the
bill. Mr. Brewer, of 'Michigan, and Mr.
Sweney, of Iowa, spoke for the bill.
A FALSE TEETENSE.
Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, characterized as
fraudulent the pretense of the Democratic
party that it had ever favored a free and un
limited coinage of silver. It had been the
shuttlecock of the Democratic dishonorable
method of politics.
Mr. McKinley, of Ohio, said that the bill
would utilize every dollar of the silver
product of the United States. It provided
also that the instant silver was on a parity
with gold that instant there would be free
and unlimited coinage of silver. Congress
must see that the money provided for the
people must be absolutely safe from finan
cial wrecks aud from commercial convul
sions, and be absolutely safe aud secure in
the hands of the holders.
Whatever might be the personal views in
regard to the demonetization or remonetiza
tion of silver, this bill gave the country a
money that was good for the people, aud
would be good for all time. Vote down this
measure, and. gentlemen knew there would
be no legislation on the subject. Demo
crats knew that they conld not set free coin
age when thev were in a majority they
knew they could not get it now, aud to de
leat this bill was to defeat all silver legisla
tion. For one, he would not vote agaiust
tbe bill, and thus deprive his people and
his country and the industries of his country
of the 53p,000,000 of circulating medium.
THE DECISIVE HOUR.
The hour having arrived for. the previous
question it was considered as ordered. Tbe
amendments to tbe original bill offered oy
Mr. Taylor, of Illinois, and Mr. O'Donnell,
ot Michigan, were miornially adopted. Mr.
McComas' amendment to the substitute
was also adopted. It provides that when
free coinage is attained the monthly bullion
purchases shall cease. The substitute as
amended wAtheL Agreed to, and the ques
tion rccnricd upon agreeing to tbe bill as
amended by the substitute.
Mr. Bland, of Missouri, moved to recom
mit the bill, with instructions to. the com
mittee to report a tree coinage bill not later
thanToesday next. Mr. Dingley, of Maine,
made the point of order against the latter
portion of the instruction, which was sus
tained, and Mr. Bland modified his motion
so as to omit the provision for a report by a
specified date.
The motion to recommit was defeated,
yeas 11G, nays 140. Fifteen Republicans
voted yea with the Democrats, as follows:
Allen (Mich.), Anderson (Kan.), Bartine
(Nev.), Carter (Mont.), Connell (Neb.),
Dehaven (Cal.), Feathcrstone ( Ark.), Funs-
ton Qltan ), nermann (Ore.), Kelly (Kan.),
3Iorrow (Cal.), Perkins (Kan.), Townsend
(Col.). Turner (Kan.), Vandever (Cal.).
Thirteen Democrats voted with the Repub
licans in opposition to the motion to recom
mit, as follows: Dargan (S. C), Dunphy
(N. Y.), Elliott (S. C), Flower (N. Y.j,
Geissenbainer (N. J.), Hemphill (S. C).
Maish (Pa.), Mutchler (Pa.), O'Neill
(Mass.), Quinn (N. Y.), Tracey (N. Y.)
Venable (Va.). Wiley (N. Y.).
THE FINAL VOTE.
The bill was then passed, yeas, 135;
nays, 119; as follows: On the final passage,
eight Republicans, as follows voted with
the Democrats against the bill: AnJerson
(Kan.), Bartine (Nev.). Carter (Mont.),
Kellev (Kan.). Rockwell (Mass.), Townsend
(Col.), Turner (Kan.) and Wilson (Wash.)
But one Democrat, Wilson, of Missouri,
voted with the Republicans, for the passace
of the bill.
The measure will now go to the Senate
which has been discussing a silver bill of its
own for weeks past. The fate of the meas
ure in the upper branch of Congress is more
than doubtful. Lightner.

London, June 7. The renewed inf..
in speculation in silver rupee paper was
caused this week bj special cable from
America to the banking firm of E, L. Op
penheim & Co., which were printed in the
Timet, to the effect that the House had
taken up the amended caucus bill
and would press it to a vote to
day. Excitement was increased by the
publication in the Times this morning of
the lull text of the bill, and rupee paper was
quoted to-d.iy at 81 per cent, the highest
price in many years. Silver is rising
rapidly, and the present quotations is 48
pence. The Indian council has granted re
mittanceS since April 1 lor over 600,000 lacs
and rupees, and has realized over 1 250 -000
as compared with the corresponding
date last year. Special allotments of bills
were made to-day as high as 1 shilling and
6 7-1G pence, and telegraphic transfers as
high as 1 shilling and 6 23-32 pence.
Leading bankers in London, who have
been disposed to cast donbts upon the pas
sage of any silver bill at Washington this
session are now taking an active interest in
the matter, and are repurchasing rupee
paper sold by them at considerably lower
prices. With silver at 47 pence a rupee is
" ," "."uu8 a" o pence; and the
par value of 4 per cent rupee paper is 75
per cent in gold. If silver should rise in
America to a parity of 16 tq 1, the valne in
London would be about 59 pence per ounce;
the value o: the rupee about 1 shilling and
10 pence and the parof rupee paper would
be about 95 m gold, so that there is a pros
pect of a lnrther considerable rise should
the present bill or a similar measure become
a law.

Columbus, June 7. Martin Rvan, col
ored, Martha J. Bradford, white, who lives
with him, and Sarah J. Williams, the
mother of a girl of 14, and of a boy aged B,
were arrested this evening charged
with murder. If tho suspicions of
the police can be confirmed they are
principals in a murder which has few par
allels lor brutality. Tuesday evening
Elmer Williams, the boy, was reported to
police headquarters as lost, and nothing had
been heard of the case since, but detectives,
who suspected something wrong.bave been
working on the case, and making search
for the lost boy. After the arrests the
youug Williams girl was taken to a room
and questioned. She stated her little
brother had been sick Monday afternoon,
that he was taken to a room in the Will
iams House where his throat was cut with a
butcher knife, and his body also gashed.
Alter he had been killed the body was'
placed in a large sack and taken to a certain
locality in the country, where it Was hidden
by Martin Ryan. The police accompanied
the girl to the room where the tragedy oc
curred, and found the knife smeared with
blond clots and the floor of the room also
badly marked.
The parties under arrest refuse to say any
thing about the tragedy and deny knowing
anything about it. The police went out
to-night to drag ponds and creeks in the
vicinity of where the body is supposed to
have been left. At midnight the body
had not been found, and the search will be
renewed to-morrow. There was an insur
ance policy on the life of the boy, which
strengthens the theory of the detectives that
his life was taken for'gain.
STEEL RAILS IN DANGER.

IFROU A STAFF CORRESrOXDEJfT. 1
Washington, June 7. A good deal of
excitement' was occasioned among the high
tariff men and among the friends of
the House tariff bill to-day by re
ports that the Senate was about to
deal more harshly with that measure than it
has been dealing hitherto. The impression
has been that the House bill would be re
ported to the Senate with only unimportant
changes, but the report was to-day that a
big cut was to be made on lumber and
on the metal schedule. The figures given
by the alarmists for the cut on steel rails
from $13 45 to $11 20, and the story was that
a number ot other articles of the steel sched
ule were to have their duty pared down to
anjilarming degree. Nothing definite could
be learned from the gentlemen of the com
mittee. One of the members admitted that a con
siderable cut on steel rails was;within the
possibility, but when it was suggested to
him that tbe jump was to be to the low
figure of $11 20, he said in a non-committal
way that that was inaccurate. That
there was a tendency shown in the
consideration of the bill to-day to
do something that would be very
distastelul to tbe steel manufacturers is
pretty certain, bnt whether it will . take
tangible shape Is another question.- Sena
tor Cameron said that be had no informa
tion that sneh'a cut was intended, and this
gives the exciting-reports atingo of doubt,
as it could hardly be possible that Mr.
Cameron, the Pennsylvania member of tbe
committee, would be ignorant ot such a
movement. '

(SPECIAL TBLEORAX TO THX DISPATCH. 1
New York, June 7. Grover Cleveland
was elected a member of the Century Club
at the monthly meeting last night One
hundred and fifteen voles were east
in his case, of which .eight were black
balls. As a third or more of the
total vote in any individual case must
be blackball, to reject a candidate Mr.
Cleveland went in with plenty to spare.
Mr. Cleveland was proposed for membership
only a few weeks ago by Joseph H.
Choate. He was seconded by Richard
Watson Gilder. The Committee on Ad
missions decided out of respect to the honor
able offices that Mr. Cleveland has held to
bring his name before the club, to be voted
upon out of the regular order and long
before his regular turn would have come.
When his name was first proposed there
was a good deal of talk in the club in oppo
sition to his admission. It has been stated
that this opposition was on the part of the
Republican members, but it was learned
last night that such was not the case. There
are good Republicans in the club, but Mr.
Cleveland's chief opponents were Demo
crats. A GREAT CATTLE COMBINE.

HIT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.
London, June 7. Copyright! Sir
William Harcourt declares that the Lord
has delivered the Government into the
hands of the opposition. Undoubtedly it
looks like it. The outcry against compensat
ing publicans is gaining strength daily. The
Tory voters are urging tbeir members to
oppose it, and the said members are declar
ing that if the bill is persevered with then
their cause is assuredly lost. They have
turned upon Mr. Goschen, whom they re
gard as the author of their troubles, -and
many would not object to see the Liberal
Unionist colleague thrown overboard en
tirely. Goschen has not been slow to see the
gathering storm, and is now more amenable
to the pressure of his colleagues than he was
a fortnight since, so that probably he will
acquiesce in the dropping of the obnoxious
compensation bill without making any un
due fuss. But mischief, so tar as the Gov-''
ernment is concerned, has already been
done, and they will always be branded as
the.party that tried to rob the ratepayers of
so many millions for the benefit of the grog
sellers,
BALFOUR'S BILL IN DANGER. '
The land purchase Ireland bill, which
Balfour has insisted shall now be placed in
the foreground of legislation, is scarcely
likely to meet with more favor than the
publicans' bill; for it involves the same
principle of abstracting money from
the taxpayers. The tihes bill, which Lord
Salisbury wants to push on, is viewed
coldly by many of his supporters, and
especially by Mr. Smith, who haa made the
excuse ot indisposition to stay away from
the House of Commons for four days, while
he attends to all other business as usual.
Thns we have th; four leaders pulling in
opposite direction? with a disgusted and
discontented following. A crisis in the
Tory Cabinet would not be an entire sur
prise, and the relegation of Mr. Smith to
the serene atmosphere of the House of Lords
would be one of its first results. A Cabinet
council has been held to-day at which
doubtless efforts were made to(reconcile the
differences with what amount of success a
day or two will prove to the world.
A GREAT DEMONSTRATION.
The temperance demonstration held in
Hydo Park- this afternoon against the Gov
ernment proposals to compensate the'publi
cans whin refused a renewal of the annual
licenses, was a very imposing affair, al
though the scale was" not so stupendous as
that of thelaoor parade on tbe 4th oi Mav.
About 60,000 men and women marched or
rode in the main procession, and there were
200,000 in the park all in enthusiastic ac
cord with the orators. -
It was not the lault of the police that a se
rious disturbance didn't occur, for they did
their best to exasperate the processionists.
Home Secretary Matthews and Commander
Monroe had declared that a public proces
sion was always a nuisance, disorganized
the ordinary traffic and imperiled the pub
lic peace. The policemen therefore tried to
justify the utterances of their chiefs.
Over and over again the procession was
stopped upon the flimsiest pre
tense, and frequently at places
where a sudden halt was likely to
cause a dire confusion. They exercised
their powers, too. in a most insulting fash
ion, and had it not been for the fact that the
demonstrators were respectable citizens who
had been earnestly exhorted beforehand by
their leaders to keep their tempers, trouble
must have resulted. Practically only one
procession properly so-called was" permitted
by the police and that was compelled to
march from the Thames embankment to
Hyde Park by an inconvenient route. '
position' or the police.
The other pontrngents bad to march direct
to the park from the districts in which they
originally assembled, and they were so
harassed by the police that 20.000 or 30,000
men tailed to arrive in time lor the speech
making, notwithstanding that the hin
drances to the main procession had delayed
the meeting nearly two hours beyond "the
time announced lor the commencement.
Naturally the conduct of the police was
warmly denounced from all the 15 plat
forms, and resolutions denouncing Matthews
and Monroe were passed with enthusiasm
exceeding that accorded to those bj which
the Government proposals were stigmatized
as infamous.
Tne speakers included many members of
Parliament, clergymen of the Established,
non-Conlormist and Catholic Churches, rnd
an unusual number of ladies, among whom,
strange to say, were two daughters of
America, Mrs. J. E. Forster, described as a
barrister Irom Ohio, and Mrs. Pearsall
Smith, a woman'b rights advocate, whose
oratorical powers have made a favorable im
pression iu Radical circles in London.
After the speech-making people dispersed
quietly, and the only mishap happened to
tne brass band who, refusing to stop playing
when leaving the marble arch, were brutally
attacked and scattered by the .foot and
mounted police. There is a consensus of
opinion that alter to-day's demonstration in
London, backed up by many, held simul
taneously in the provinces, the Government
will not dare to force their proposals through
the House of Commons.
THE PE0GEESS OF WOMAN.
A Female Student Captures the Highest
Honor nt Cambritlco University.
TUT cable to thx msrATcn-i
London, June 7. A great sensation in
educational circles has been caused to-day
by the publication of the mathematical
tripos of Cambridge University. The suc
cess of the female students has been phe
nomenal. The highest educational honor
vet won by women has been gained by Miss
Philippa Fawcett, aged 22, who is brack
etted as superior to the senior wrangler.
Previous to this the first place was occupied
by a Miss Ramsay, who was tbe senior
wrangler in tbe classical tripos in 18S7, and
the second by a Miss Scott, who was the
eighth mathematical wrangler in 1880. The
former has since married the master oi
Trinity College, Cambridge,' and the latter
is understood to be a professor in an Ameri
can university.
In addition to Miss Fawcett's wonderful
achievement two ladies figure in the list ot
wranglers, ten are seniors optimes and four
are jnuior optimes. ,No women tailed to

;BT CABLE Jto'tHH DISPATCK.I
Xondon, June 71 A very influential
deputation -waited on Mr. Chaplin, the
Minister tot Agriculture, on Thursday, to
urge him to abolish or at least to modify the
restrictions on the transportation of Ameri
can cattle. A considerable portion of the
deputation consisted of shrewd Scotchmen
who have made much money by fattening
American store cattle for the London
market. They tried very hard to persuade
Chaplin that the cattle disease no longer
existed in the United States, but the Min
ister, knowing that he had at his back, an
overwhelming majority of the English
farmers, declined to make the slightest con
cession. Chaplin is at heart a protectionist, and if
he could have his way would put a duty on
American wheat and other materials which
compete with the British farm produce; but
as public opinion will not allow him to do
that he' gladly eases his feelings by inforcing
the restrictions on the importations of cattle.
The readers of The Dispatch were in
formed weeks ago of Chaplin's intentions in
this respect. The information which
reaches me from the same reliable source
warrants the belief that the existing re
strictions may be made more drastic. The
Board of Agriculture has received informa
tion from agents in America which throws
doubt uiwn the alleged extirpation of pleuro
pneumonia in Baltimore. Evidence has
also reached London that the disease is still
raging in certain counties in New York
State.
Chaplin will therefore have no difficulty
in persuading the British agriculturists of
the unwisdom of relaxing the existing regu
lations. The establishment of a Board of
Agriculture in London, with its chief in the
Cabinet, has undeniably had a good effect.
The board keeps the farmers regularly in
formed of all that concerns them in foreign
countries, and already the old-fashioned
methods of cultivation are being abandoned
in favor of the more scientific means. The
latest movement is-directed to the establish
ment of agricnltural schools all over the
country, 'endowed by the State and con
trolled by the Board of Agriculture.
SOCIALISM TrEPTXT.Tm,
The Conservative Secretary of the London
Trades Cenncil Re-Elected.
tBT CABLE TO THIS DISFATCn.1
London, June 7. The election of a sec
retary to thj London Trades Council took
place last night in the Congregational Me
morial Hall. The proceedings lasted until
past midnight, and were of such an uproari
ous character that the sedate hall keeper,
accustomed to mild missionary meetings and
tea and tracts', wept over the desecration of
his, beloved building. Everything was un
parsonlike. The rival candidates and dele
gates howled and swore at one another, and
blows and wrestling bouts occasionally alter
nated with adjectives, and epithets. Tom
Man, the dock laborers' leader, led the op
position to Sbipton's re-election, on the
ground that that person had snowed a lack
of sympathy with unskilled lobor.
Shipton tearfully repudiated the lying
insinuation and'prdtested with much emo

A LAS0B DISPUTE SETTLED.
Slaking Emeralds of Gas Rofase Not a Very
1 Profitable Dullness.
tBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.1
.London, Jun 7. Moderate counsels
have prevailed inthega- workers dispute,
and an amicable working schema is in
course of arrangement. Owing to the in
creased cost of coal and labor the gas company,
which by the way paid a 13 per cent divi
dend last year, has increased the price of
gas. Mr. Greville Williams, the company's
chief chemist, recently thought he was on
the track of a discovery which will bring
untold wealth to all concerned. He actu
ally succeeded in manufacturing lrom the
re. use of a gas retort a perfect emerald, and
undertook to produce other precious stones
by similar means.
Unfortunately, however, it was discov
ered that the emerald cost to produce ten
times as much as a similar natural gem
could have been bought for in a jeweler's
shop.

DEFYING UNCLE SAM.
A Cnnard Steamer Refnses to Take

CAME OVER UNDER'- A CONTRACT.
They Are Transferred to a Tog in. the Sew

EXCITKG BCEXES UPON TEE SHORE.
The Company Will be Compelled to Eclnra the lien to

The seven imported Belgian glassblowers
were placed on the steamer Umbria to go
back to Europe yesterday. After starting
off to sea they were sent back in a tug. The
officers refused to allow them to land, and
the Cunard Company will be forced to take
care of them.
SPECIAL TELiOBAM TO THE bISPATCH.
New York, June 7. The Cunard Steam
ship Company and Uncle Sam had a little
misunderstanding to-day over tbe seven
Belgian glassworkers, that Collector Erhardt
debarred from landing because they were
brought here under contract to work in' a
factory at Glassboro, N. J. The canse'of
trouble was the refusal of the company'to
take the seven Belgians back to.LiVerpool
on the Umbria, which brought them here
last Sunday.
The Collector annonnced his decision in
the case on Friday afternoon, and Superin
tendent of Immigration Weber sent a letter
to the steamship company, telling its agent,
Mr. Vernon H. Brown, that seven Belgians
had been taken to the Umbria by the Sur
veyor's men. Two ot the glass workers had
their wives and three children with them.
beginning op the trouble.
Dock Superintendent Watson, of the
Cunard Line, said he would not let the
glassworkers be put aboard the ship. The
surveyor's men intimated that there would
be considerable trouble ahead for anybody
who attempted to prevent them from put
ting the Helgians on the Umbria, and the
Superintendent discreetly let the glass
workers go up the gang plank.
But there was one thing the Superinten
dent lawfully could do, and that was to
prevent the wives and children of two of
the Belgians from accompanying them.
He did this and gave them lodging at a
West street hotel. A night inspector re
mained aboard the ship and saw that the
seven glassworkers stayed there.
Agent "Vernon H. Brown came to tbe pier
early this morning, and annonnced with
some warmth that the glassworkers conld
not sail on the Umbria. He ordered them
off, declaring tbat there was not room on
the vessel tor them. Chief Inspector Walker
refused to let them land, and the Umbria
had to sail from her pier with them.
ANOTHER SCHEME TRIED.
Mr. Brown tried to . circumvent Uncle
Sam by ordering Dock Superintendent Wat
son to take off the men while the steamer
was going down the bay. They were
hustled aboard the tug Pulver, near the
Battery, and brought up to the barge office
landing. Labor Jnspector.MuIholIaHd was
nouiied of the approach ot the Belgians on
the tug by one of Landing Superintendent
pimpson s men. He ran down to tne end of
the pier, instructed some of the inspectors
not to let the Pulver land the Belgians and
then hurried back and told Colonel Weber
about the case.
The Colonel is usually of a placid dispo
sition, but'he ran out on the pier, shook his
hand at the assistant dock snperintendent
who had the men in charge aboard the Pul
ver, and said: "Don't you dare to land
those contract laborers." The assistant su
perintendent answered meekly that he did
not intend to land the Belgians. He merely
wanted to know what he was to do with
them. Colonel Weber said that he. might
sail them around the bay several years if he
wanted to, but he couldn't land ou the ter
ritory of tne United States unless he wanted
his company to be fined $1,000 lor each
glassblowerj and had a fancy lor serving a
term in prison himself.
NO EXPLANATION ACCEPTED.
, Mr. Brown arrived at the barge office
while the Colonel was talking, and said he
wanted to explain things. Colonel Weber
calmly but emphatically told Mr. Brown
that he would have to take care of the Bel
gians, and that If he allowed them to get
away he would get into trouble. Mr. Brown
said he got the notice that the Belgians
would be put aboard the Umbria too late to
provide quarters for them. He said that all
the steerage not containing baggage had
been turned into second cabin berths, and
there was not any room on the sGip for the
glass workers. Colonel Weber reiterated
that the steamship company would be held
responsible for the care of the glass workers
until they were landed at Liverpool.
"Where can I take them?" Mr. Brown
queried.
'Anywhere you please. To the Filth
Avenue Hotel if you like. Bat you must
see that they are returned to Liverpool."
Mr. Brown saw Collector Erhardt later,
and he was permitted, at 420 p. m. to trans
fer the Belgians from the tug Pulver, where
they had been since 9 A. M., to the launch
Henry B., which took them to Ellis Island.
Mr. Brown agreed to pay for the food and
lodging of the Belgians until next Saturday,
when they will be put -aboard the steamship
Seryia and taken to Liverpool.

rsraci.li. TiutOBxat io tub dispatch.:
New STokk, June 7. Gfeat preparations
are being made in Mott street, and much
money is being put up by all kinds of
Chinamen for the purpose of building a real
Cbiuese theater. The large brick tenement
house, five stories high, at 12 Pell street,
has been leased for ten years by a stock com
pany oi well-to-do Chinamen at $5,000 a
year. The company is having the build
ing torn down and in its place will bnild a
new and attractive Chinese musical hall or
theater.
The company hopes to open in August.
The stranded Chinese actors are once more
hopeinl. They have already been booked
for the season beginning August 1, next, and
ending August 1, 1891. There will be a lit
tle Chinese house on top ot the new theater
for the actors to live in, and it is also under
stood that a regular Chinese lunch connter
will be put up, with birds' nest soup at all
hours of the night Tbe principal objection
to the American playhouses, the Chinese
actors say, was the extraordinarily short
time allowed for each performance. Ah
Gian will begin with his play on August 1

A EEDUCnOIT IK SATES,
And the Dressed Beef Shippers Will Now
Enjoy the Benrflis of It.
Chicago, June 7. Taking effect Mon
day the Chicago and Grand Trunk Railway
will reduce the rates on dressed beet to 42
cents a hundred pounds from Chicago to
Boston and common New England points
by way of Montreal, This announcement
will be a surprise, there having been no
previous intimation of such action. The re
duction does not apply via the Niagara
frontier. In taking this step, the
Grand Trunk claims to be only
preserving the 3-cent differential it has al
ways enjoyed. The reduction, however, is
without tbe concurrence of Chairman
Blanchard, of the Central Traffic Associa
tion. To meet tbe Grand Trunk's cut the other
lines must give three days' notice, so that
the Grand Trunk is sure to have the benefit
of its rate for three days at least. ' The orig
inal disturber of the rates was the Canadian
Pacific, which, by its recent entrance to
Chicago, has become an active competitor
for the dressed beef business.

TBE LEADERS DECLARE POfi SHIEAS
About 3,000 men met at Carnegie Hall
last evening in response to tbe call for a new
deal in the Twenty-third Congressional dis
trict. In vigorous speeches the manner in
which Colonsl Stone was nominated was de
nounced, and resolutions demanding new
primaries and a change in the manner of
holding nominating conventions were unan
imously passed. At a later conference of
some of the ruling spirits George ShirasIH.
was indorsed.
The meeting held last night in Carnegie
Hall on the subject of the Congressional
nomination the Twenty-third Congressional
district was attended by an immense audi
ence. The hall was crowded. Not only
every seat was occupied down below and
above, but the central and side aisles were
crowded by people standing. While the
people were crowding and pushing into
the hall Mr. Leonord AValse performed some
excelle'nt music.
It was a splendid congregation of mala
faces which looked up toward the platform
when Hon. B. F. Jones stepped to the front
of the platform and called the meeting to
order. Mr. Jones said:
Voters of the Twenty-third Congressional
district, I bave been requested by the gentle
men who have called this meeting to preside.
I accept the honor, and as this is a meeting of
tho Republicans of the Twenty-third district.
It is my desire that every voter of the district
shall consider himself as one of tbe Vice Presi
dents. And I also take the liberty of naming
as Secretaries the reporters of the press. With
the people and the press in sympathy with the
cause there can be no such word as fall.
As stated in tbe call, we are here for tba
purpose of protesting against the action of the
convention wbicb declared the nomination of
Colonel Stone for Congress, which, we believe,
was illegal, m violation of tbe party rales, and
impolitic.
While it is not the intention to suggest, criti
cise or champion any candidate for tnis im
portant and honorable office, we cannot, forget
or fail to appreciate the rights and duties of
tbe voters. I voted for Colonel Bayne's nom
ination, as did others, hut I did not anthorize
hitn to nse my vote t help blm to nominate or
elect Colonel Stone or any othor man to Con
gress. I shall not detain you witb arguments
or farther statements. The resolutions and
sneecbes which joa will hear will fully set forth
the case.

Chairman Jones turned to the rear, where
a number of representative business men oc
cupied chairs on the platform, and asked A.
21. Byers to read the resolutions prepared.
Mr. Byers stepped forward and read the fol
lowing: The Republicans of the Twenty-third district
having gone luto the regular nomination of a
candidate for Coneress, which resulted in tho
choice of Colonel Thomas M. Bavne, and
Wiieekas, Mr. Bayne pre-emptorily de
clined the nomination, thereby leaving a va
cancy on the ticket; and
Whereas the convention, in violation of both
rnle and precedent, named W. A. Stone, Esq..
who was not a canaldate at the primaries, and
who bad not complied with the rules, the ob
servance of which could alone give him stand
ing as a candidate: therefore
Resolved, That we hereby repudiate and
condemn the mode of Sir. Stone's nomination
as subversive of the fundamental principles
ot representative government, destruction of
party unity, and wholly irregular and void.
Resolved. That in condemnation of the un
fairness of the methodi by which the so-called
nomination was brongbt about, and In vindica
tion of tbe Tight of tne people to choose their
own public servants, we call upon tbe County
Executive Committee to order new primaries
and a new convention to fill the vacancy
which exists nnder tbe rules. We demand this
not only as j. right, but as the best method of
indicating good faifi in politics, preserving the
party organization, and avoming all possible
risk of having this great protection center rep
resented in Congrets by a free trade Democrat.
Resolved, further. That a committee consist

H. Ricketson, A. E. W. Painter, A. JL Byera.
Isaac Kline, J. B. Scott, J. H. Hampton, w, G.

deem proper to fully and effectually carry into
effect tbe object of this meetlng,and that when
tblsraeetinadjoumsitadjournS to meet on
the call of this committee now appointed.
RECEIVED WITH APPLAUSE.
The reading of these resolutions was re
ceived with great hand-clapping. Mr. Jones
then presented Mr. John H. Kicketson, who
addressed the audience. He was greeted
with applause. Mr. Bicketson read from
the party rules the clauses already published
in The Dispatch, which seem to show
Colonel Stone's nomination to be irregular.
Mr. Bicketson declared his opinion that the
nomination was unsanctioned, and that the
citizens of the district ought to be allowed to
declare themselves. He alluded to the im
portant interests to be represented and tha
importance of having a man at Washington
who will represent the protection sentiment
of the district.
Mr. Bicketson a said that if Mr. Stone
wanted lo come into the open contest he
must do it fairly. He did not believe that
it was lair to come in under cover. Mr.
Kicketson saidt "I do not believe there is
a man in this house who did not admire tba
pluck with which the young man entered
into this contest. The time has come when
we must recognize the young men in
our political work. A little
infusion of young blood is good
for the party, f Aoolause.1 A stroni? in.
fnsiou of young blood into our party will
make the future look brighter to us who are
sinking under the heat ot the day. This
meeting, however, is not called in the in
terest of any candidate. We are here simply
to demand fair play. I am simply here to
demand that tbe County Committee shall
demand new primaries."
AIT AGGRESSIVE ADDRESS.
Samuel A. McClung, the lawyer, was
called upon by Chairman Jones, and he ad
vanced to the platform. He made an ag
gressive address, basing most of it on the
county rules of the party, which, he argoed,
showed that Colonel Stone was not before
the Congressional convention, and conld not
be nominated. The people of the district
were not, he said, opposed to Colonel
Stone, but were intent on tha vin
dication of a principle. The meeting
was called simply in the interest
of voters. Mr. McClung, who was Tempo-
