CHIEF FEATUEES OF A EEMAtKiBLB DEBATE The Senate yesterday amended practically every provision of the House silver bill, in cluding the title, and then passed it by a majority of 17. As it now stands it is a radical tree coinage measure. Two-thirds of those voting for the amended bill were Democrats, while of those against all but three were Republicans. It is believed that the new scheme will go through the House, notwithstanding Heed's opposition. 1FBOM X BTAJT COBKESPOHDEirT.J "Washington', June 17. The extreme silver men had it all their own way to-day in the Senate, carrying all their amend ments, rejecting all the amendments of the committee, to which they were opposed, and passing an out-and-out free coinage bill by a majority of 17, which is a large Senate majority lor any measure, It was the most interesting day the Senate has had for a long time. Most of the Senators were in their seats anI the galleries were well filled by an audience that was clearly in sympathy with the majority on the floor of the cham ber, as was attested by frequent applause for the free coinage men. The feature of the day was the maiden speech of Senator "Walcott, who delivered a very telling address, principally directed towards his new wife, who sat in the private gallery of Senators and seemed highly de lighted with the attention bestowed upon her distinguished husband. A Warning to tfio Administration. The Senator touched the administration rather caustically, but not so bluntly as Senator Mitchell a little later, who declared that any administration that stood in op position of fry silver would be hurled from power. All' oi these utterances are, of course, notice to the President that he had best know the ground he is treading on and forego the temptation to attach his little veto to the bill. But the President is not the most impos ing obstacle in the way of the ultimate suc cess of the bll. It is transformed out of all semblance to the measure which came to the Senate from the House. The elimination of the bullion redemption clause and the introduction of the free coinage provision ere sufficient to arouse the bitterest an tagonism against the bill among the op ponents of free silver in the House, which include most of the New York and New Eugland men. It is said that Speaker Eeed will exercise all of his prerogatives on the floor and in the caucus to prevent the enactment of the bill as it will come from the Senate. Will Pnss In Splto of Reed. But it is considered as certain as that the day of the final vote will dawn that the ex ample of the Senate will stiffen the spinal columns of many members of the House, snd that a great majority will back the con ferees in any movement to agree to the bill as amended. It is pretty certain, howpyer, that any conferees appointed by Speaker Heed will be opposed to the Senate amend ments, and that the fight will be a long and bitter one. On the other hand, it is said by some of the close friends ot Speaker Reed that he merely desires to put upon the Senate the responsibility of free coinage, redemption in legal tenders, etc, and that he will not use his personal influence arbitrarily for the defeat of the hill. In all of the votes to-day Senator Cameron was found on the side of the silver men, while Senator Quay, who -was absent, was paired with Senator Faulk ner, of "West Virginia, Lightn ee. THE DEBATE IN DETAIL. WESTERN REPUBLICAN SENATORS AT TACK HARRISON. Edmonds Declares That (lie Amended TJ1I1 Turn the Finances of tbe Country Orer to the Democrats A Prediction of Dis I aster Tho Varions Changes. I "Washington, Jane 17. "When the sil ver, oill was taken up in the Senate to-day Mr. Volcott, of Colorado, secured-the floor. He said that if it were true (as it was not) that the people of the silver producing States were governed in the matter by a desire to protect the industry on which their prosperity depended, large warrant was given to them for such a course of proceed ings by some of the Eastern States. The country, (particularly the Northern States) seemed to have lallen on days when politics were rated at a commercial value alone, and when political fealty was made to depend upon whether the prosperity of the locality where the voter resided was to he better fostered by competition with other countries. or by larce and prohibitorv duties which practically excluded foreign competition. The prosp'erity of the people of the mountain States of the "West had ever to rest chiefly on the products of their mines. Yet, while they were less benefited than any other region of the country by a blgh protective tariff, they were asked every session to stand by the duties, which tbe East formulated; and when they asked that silver should also be protected, they were told that they were sordid and unpa triotic, and that their ideas were those oi n dissatisfied and visionary people. r .tKhode Island and Protection. rftkirondered how long the Eepttblican majoritv in Rhode Island, for instance, would last if the interests on which tbe peo ple of that State depended for their liveli hood were no longer fostered and protected. The worm of Democracy seemed to have al ready made some headway in that Common wealth, possibly because customs duties were not yet high enough. And how long did the Senator from, Ehode Island (Mr. Aid rich) and those who agreed with him expect that the people of the West would continue to help the industries which that Senator represented when he couldn't find for them only words of criticism and denunciation. Mr. "Wolcott went on to criticize the un friendly attitude of the administration toward the silver bill, and said that when Mr. Harrison was nominated, his record was searched in vain for any noteworthy act or saying, and that the Latin sentence, "stat magm nominis umbra," applied to him. The Eepublican leaders of the "West had made great efforts among the farmers and miners, and had secured the success of the ticket, buf the President had not exactly materialized on the silver question, and the awakening had been rather rude. If They Unci Known Before. He ventured the opinion that if the President's position on thot question had been announced before the last election not a single State west of the Missouri river would have given a Republican majority, not because a majority of the people of those States were not true and staunch and earn est Republicans, but because they would have wished to rebuke overwhelmingly a party that selected as their standard bearer one who was unmindful ot the interests of the country and disregardfnl of the will of the great majority of the members of the party. An open foe was to be preferred to a secret enemy. In conclusion Mr. "Wolcott said that the silver bill was of far greater importance than the election bill, the anti-gcrryman-dering bill, or the tariff bill. In view of it party lines were oDhterated and forgotten and the South and the "West met on com mon ground, animated by a common and patriotic purpose. Applause from the galleries, and felicita tions ana compliments from tbe Senators proved that Mr. "Wolcott's maiden speech in the Senate was recognized as a very great success. It was well delivered and at tracted much attention. Votinc Upon the Amendments. The Senate then proceeded to vote on the amendments reported by the finance Com mittee. The first was to strike out the pro vision that the Treasury notes issued for the purchase of silver ''shall be a legal tender in pavment of all debts, public and pri vate." The amendment was rejected yeas 14; nays CO; and the provision remains in the bill. The next vote was on tbe amendment to strike out the bullion redemption clause. It was agreed to yea3, 57; nays, 7; the nays being Messrs. Chandler, Frye, Hale, His cock, Hoar, Morrill and Sherman. The next vote was on the amendment pro viding that the act shall terminate at the expiration of ten years. The amendment was rejected yeas, 4; nays, 64. The yeas were Messrs. Chandler, Edmunds, Morrill and Sherman. Mr. Blair oflered an amend ment limiting the amount of silver to be coined to $5,000,000 a month. Eejected yeas, 12; nays. 4C. Mr. Plumb offered tbe fallowing amendment in lieu of the firft section of the House bill: The Free Coinage Proposition. That from and after tbe date of tho passage of this act the unit of value in the United States shall be tbe dollar, and tbe same may be coined of -112 grains of standard silver, or of 25 8-10 grains of standard gold, and tbe said coins snail be legal tender tor all debts, public or private. Tbat thereafter any owner of sli ver or gold bullion mar deposit tbe same at any mint of tbe United States, to be formed into standard dollars or bars for his benefit. and without chare-; bnt it snail bo lawful to re- luse any deposit of loss Time than 5100, or any bullion so base as to" be unsuitable for tbo operations of the mint. Mr. Mitchell addressed the Senate on the general merits of the bill, and in tbe course of it ueclarged that any administration which would set itself up against the free coinaee of the silver dollar, would be, as it deserved to beK hurled from power. The vote was taken on Mr. Plumb's amendment, and it was agreed to yeas, 43; nays, 24. Mr. Plumb moved to add a new section to come in as section 2, as follows: '1 bat the provisions of Section 3 of an act to authorize tbe coinage of tbo standard silver dollar and to restore its legal tender character, which became a law February 23, 1878, is here by made applicable to the coinage of this act provided for. It was acreed to without discussion, and Mr. Reagan offered tbe followiug amendment as a substitute for sections 3, 4 and 3: A Voice From Texas. Section 3 That the certificates provided for in the second section of this act shall be of de nominations of not less than 1, nor more than 100. and such certificates shall be redeemable in coin of standard value. A sufficient sum to carry out the provision of this act is hereby ap propriated out of any money in tho Treasury not otherwise appropriated. Tbe provision in section 1 of the act of February 2S. 1S78, en titled "An act to authorize the coinaee ot tbe standard dollar and to restore Its lecal tender character," which requires the faecretary of tbe Treasury to purchase at the market price thereof, not less than 2,000,000 worth of silver bullion per month, nor more than St090,00u worth per month of such bullion, is hereby re pealed. Mr. Edmunds Without interfering with the line symposium which wc are haviu?, I wish to say (avoiding thereby, so far as I am concerned, any call for tbo yeas and najs) that I am op posed to tbe bill as it now stands, and to every one of its amendments, in general and in par ticular, and therefore that I am not to be called upon hereafter to account for having al lowed an amendment to pass without caHing for the yeas and nays. 1 am willing to deliver over to the Democratic party tbe management of the finances of the country for the time be ing. I only state this in order that 1 may not trouble the Senate with demanding tbo yeas and nays on the varions ornamentations that are being given to this hoodlum which is set up. Laughter. Tbe Meaning of the Flnlforru. Mr. Plumb Tho question as to tho responsi bility of tlio Senator from Vermont is, of course, of no consequence except to himself, lint when he says wo are going to deliver over to the Democratic party the finances of the country, I aBk him what he is going to do with the Republican platform? Is he going to con sent or agree that tbe platform of the Repub lican party adopted inUhlcacoln lSSSsballbe tbo platform of tbe Democratic party! If be is, is he going to claim for the Republican party the platform adopted at St. fjonis in 1&SS when Mr. Cleveland was nominated? Names are sometimes things. I prefer to believe that in this ebullition of objection the Senator from Vermont does not represent either himself or the Republican party. Ho will somo day think better of this proposition to meet the just and reasonable demands of tho people of the United States in regard to the currency supply and tho material of which it is to be composed. I am not willing that tbe remarks of the Senator, from Vermont shall go to the country as repre senting tbe Republican party; although of course, if it were a question between the Sena tor and me, ho would be entitled to represent it, and not L Air. Edmunds I stand by the Republican party platform fully and in all its implications. Rut oar friends, the Democrats on the otber side of tbe chamber and their deluded followers and coadjutors, laughter have abandoned that Republican plattorm and transformed it into a jHawu.iu. uitu uo democratic convention ever dared to make and which no Democratic administration aud no Democratic House of Representatives ever dared to propose because they knew thatswiftly tbe people of tbe United States would find out that they bad been de luded and misled by getting up that cry on be half of people who have something to sell and of people who have something to pay a cry of expansion. And when the expansion comes And the Break Come, it is not the poor or tbo debtor who will have profited by the expansion, but it is tho very people whom these gentlemen are now howling against so strongly that will have made all the money. That is what all human experience has shown. BMr. Vest The Senator from Vermont has made an assertion which is directly contra dicted by the record and is historically untrue. Tne House of Representatives in 1877, with a large Democratic majority, did pass a free coinage act, pure ana simple. It camo to the Senate and was mutilated here. Tne free coinage feature of it was taken out of it by the Republican party. That is tbe record. Mr. EJmundsOh, yea. I. had forgotten that there was s Detnocratlo party In 1877. The Democratic party being In a majority in tho Hoose of Representatives in 1877 did pass a contrivance oi this kind (Just as it is trying to pass it now), in order by appeals to tho worst instincts of the people to do something which might bring it into power. It accomplished its purpose, and Mr. Cleveland was elected. And having been elected by their votes, Mr. Cleve land was wise enough and brave enough to tell his Democratic supporters tbat that sort of delusion could not be carried into practice. The Democratic partv was wise cnonch, for a wonder (laughter), to be absolutely silent for four years on that topic I was going to make an Improper quotation from Shakespeare, but I will not. I will change Shakespeare a little. No patriot opened his mouth to Bark at tho Administration ot President Cleveland because he persistently and steadily declined to be betrayed or seduced into destroying the prosperity of tho people of the United States by advising such a measure as this that we have now. No Democrat In either House during the four years of Mr. Cleveland's administration opened his lips to relieve a suffering people, suffering from a want of tbo coinage of silver dollars. And, therefore, I say, with great respect to my friend from Kansas and to everybody else, that this bill is the new platform (renewed from 187StolS90) of the Democratic party when it has no responsibility (and I agroe that it never ought to havo any), and that Its purpose is to entangle tho Republican party and to deliver it over to the Democratic party. Messrs. Eeagan and Vest replied to Mr. Edmunds, and Mr. Plumb spoke of his speech as being tbe same sort of a jeremiad which the Senate had heard from him in 1878, when the silver coinage bill was passed. The question was taken on Mr. Beagan's amendment, and it was agreed to without di vision. Mr. Teller moved to add the fill ing as a new section: That the certificates provided for In this act shall be receivable for all taxes and dues to tho United States of every description, and shall bo alegal tenner for the paymentof all debts, pub lic and private. Everything to bo Legal Tender, After a long discussion it was modified, at the suggestion of Mr. Eustis (by adding the words: "And all silver certificates already issued," and as so modified it was agreed to Yeas, 34; nays, 22). Mr. Plumb moved to insert the following as an additional sec tion, which was adopted also: The owners of bullion deposited for coinage shall have the option to recelvo coin or its equivalent in the certificates provided for in this act, aud such bullion shall be subsequently coined. Mr. Chandler moved to insert the follow ing amendment: No gold or silver bullion shall bo received bv the Treasury Department under this act except such as shalil be shown to be tbe product of mines within the United States. Mr. Teller moved to lay the amendment on the table. Agreed to, yeas, 42; nays, 25. The bill as amended was then passed yeas, 42; nays, 25, as follows: Yeas Messrs. Bate, Berry, Blodgett, Bntlcr, Call, Cameron. Cockrell, Cote, Colquitt, Dan iels, Eustis, Qeorge, Qorman, Harris, Hearst, Ingalls, Jones (Arkansas). Jones (Nevada), Kenna, Manderson.

Somo Doubt as to Tbeir Action Upon the Original Package Bill. "Washington, June 17. The Senate original package bill was again under con sideration before the House Judiciary Com mittee. So far the proceedings havo been confined to a critical analysis of existing laws, .Supreme Court decisions and constitu tional 'provisions, and the indications ore that several sessions of the committee will be consumed. It begins to appear that a number of the members, berhaps n majority, are not satis fied that the las, decision of the Supreme Court was a correct interpretation of consti tutional law, but, as there is a feeling that the 'committee is dealing with one of tie. most delicate and complax pEoblesrs involv ing the respective rights of the National and State Governments ever considered by it, a very conservative spirit is manifested at all stages of the discussion. , The onlyevidence ot the ultimate purpose of the committee is to be fonnd in the will ingness of many of its members to allow the States to exercise within constitutional limitations control over the liquor traffic if this can beeffected by an addition or amend ment of existing law.

The Funeral Services or the Two Victims Eecorerei Will Occur To-Day. The fate of the miners who were cut off by yesterday's accident in the Farm Hill mine is still nndecided. It is expected that the relief party will reach them at an early hour to-day. rsrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISFATCII.l Dunbab, June 17. At the scene of yes terday's terrible accident there seems to-day to be a settled feeling of apathy overdue people at the month of the pit, caused by the uncertainty as to the fate of the. imprisoned miners. The knowledge, even of the death of the 32 entombed miners, would be a wel come relief from the terrible strain which holds the iriends and relatives of the un fortunate miners to the mouth of the pit watchine aud Waiting lor any signal that will enable them to learn the positive J fate of their loved ones. Even a knowledge of the very worst is hoped lor rather than tho dreadful thought that the men may be even now reluctantly giving up their last breath with lips touching .the low water rims, or glued to the heated rails in a hope tbat, tho fearful strangling damp will seek a higher level. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the Hill Farm pit showed but a faint wreath of smoke, as if the fires within were burning feeblv. From that time, however, tho smok'e grew gradually thicker and heavier, until now it is belching fbom the. mouth like a torrent, ten times blacker than yester day. The reason given for this is that wort had been commenced in. the Mahoning mines, and 70 feet had already been torn down by the volunteer squads, which gave more and more ventilation to the Hill mines, as this place is honeycombed with drifts and headings.;This ventilation is cer tainly going to the burning mine, as the pressure is from 16,000 cubic feet to 29,000 cubic feet in the 'Mahoning, while the smoke and driit from the Hill mine in creased in proportion. BBThis violent draft leadB again to the hope that the men imprisoned have reached the extreme limit of the chambers, toward the Mahoning mine, and are patiently waiting fob life ob death. They must be in utter darkness, as the first explosion, certainly extinguished their lamps, and they could .not again be lighted without a worse result following. Old miners shake their beads at any word of hope, and say the men within, no matter how brave or experienced, could not find the proper chambers in the dark, and this they claim to prove by the fact that all sound ings from thermine ceased a little after noon yesterday. There is no effort being made at tbe Bill Farm mine to offer relief, as the heat and smoke from the pit mouth are now unbear- ablel,ajndifw expected" Irrbreaklntoa flarnVf a& any moment, wueu me suups auu smim buildings surrounding will go at once. All efforts at rescue are now being made at the Mahoning mine alone, as THE FERGUSOU JS SO IfC3li OP SMOKX, tha( work is irrrporaiole. The mine fan is be ing erected at the mouth of the Mahoning, and will probably be put in operation to olghfc, This will iiciuaio the draft greatly; and will, above all, assist in driving the black damp from the Hill mines. The men in the Mahoning shaft are work ing in a squad and driving fiercely through tbe 200 feet oi wall and fallen rock between them and the Hill mine chambers. There are several mining engineers on the ground with maps of both mines, but in spite of the best of instruments it is impossible to say definitely just how far the eager workers must bore through the wall before they reach the deadly Hill mine chambers. This doubt is caused by the fact that at the pre sumed narrowest place of divide there is but a small marram, while on either side the walls are almost double in thickness. As the two mines are owned by different companies no very carefnl comparison of the trend of the drifts has been kept, and as a result these is now obeat doubt as to whether the thick or thin portion will be struck. Tlie engineers, however, have made exquisitely carelul surveys both over and underground a score of times, and unite on a certain point that will lead them di rect to the Hill mines through a boarding, or "bradice" as it is called, that had been placed in tbe Hill mine chambers, and fronting toward the Mahoning mine. This is the narrowest portion, and the most dan gerous. Some estimates put the total dis tance at 250 feet, while others go as low as 120, should the very narrowest portion be struck. The rescuing squads are under the direc tion of Beth "Woman and a man named Davis, both experienced mine bosses, and in fact the very drifts they are heading for were ran under the direction of Davis, an ex mine inspector. "Worman .is ex-superintendent of the Mahoning mines, who first ran the old drift through which THE RESCUING PABTT ABE WOBKINO. These two old heads are going more on their own ideas as to. direction and slope thau they are depending upon instruments and maps, though the latter are consulted hourly. The men are working like tigers. and take turns of ten hours in squads. The first 70 feet were broken through easily bv 7 ojclocfc to-night, though the latter portion will be the hardest, as a solid wall will con front the undaunted men there. At this hour, 10 o'clock, the enormous fan at the mouth of the Mahoning mine appears to be in readiness, but there is a delay in starting it It is now said it mav not be started until the final break is to b'e made into the Hill chambers, where the impris oned men are said to be. They say the draft at present is all that is necessary for the safety of the rescuing workers, and it is not thought advisable to fan the EUBIOU3 FIBE NOW BAGING in the main shaft of the Hill mine. Another reason and the more potent one is that it will be necessary to nave tbe fan at its best with all tbe draft possible when the bradice or boarding of tbe Hill mine chambers is reached. This bradice is made of inch plank lightly nailed and covered with canvas. This protection is only used where gas or water is (eared, and either or both are ex pected when the final break is made. The fact that this is the narrowest point out weighs the danger of gas. as days would necessarily elapse before a beading could be made through at any other point, Every precaution will be taken when it is thought the important point is reached, and none but the oldest men will be permitted in ..the squad tbat has the honor to FIND THE MEN DEAD OB ALIVE. Soundings are now made repeatedly and in addition to this the heavy blows of a dozen picks should be heard by the imprisoned men if they still live and no miscalculation has been made. This latter, experts say, is impossible and the 32 men must be either in another portion of the mine or they do not answer becanso they cannot and never will. As the hour draws late the police become more vigilant and have stretched a cordon about the burn ing mine to keep away the hundreds who crowd too close for safety should the dense smoke suddenly burst into flame, which is hourly expected, as they say sparks can oc casionally be seen when the cloud lifts for a moment. At the Mahoning entrance they are even more severe and no man with even a sus picion of whisky on his breath is allowed uoout. xne weary smit oi rescuers arc squatted about in knots, snatching a bite to eat and a cup of coffee or tea HANDED THEM BY PALE WOMEN, who have more than one reason for their untiring eflorts to refresh the brawny, muscled miners who find their long rest all too little after the ten hours' ordeal in the pit Coroner Holbrook will be here again in the morning in the expectation that the other men may be found, when the inquest can be finished in a lump, as the men have no hopes of finding their friends living, though the patient women never relinquish their idea that perhaps all are not dead. The two bodies recovered immediately after the explosion will be buried to-morrow. The ghastly remains of Dan Shearn will be placed in the Catholic cemetery after the usual services at 9 A. M. The no less dis figured body of poor old man Hays, who lost his life while looking for his son, at 3 o'clock to-morrow will be placed in tho little ceme tery on the hill, within a stone's throw of the pit where he "met his death.

Montgomery, practically the last county to place itself on record before the State Convention, did so emphatically to-day. Tbe 220 delegates which comprised to-day's Eepublican County Convention slapped Quay in the face by electing a Hastings delegation, and then poulticed the bruise with a strong in dorsement of his course upon the policy of protection. There was a generous sprink ling of Delamater's friends and of Quay's lieutenants in the convention hall, but they kept silent as mice. EVEETBODr FOB HASTINGS. The air was so full oi Hastings sentiment that "Wurk Hoff, clerk in the Auditor Gen eral's office at Harrisburg, of Lower Merion, and ex-Assemblyman Joseph A. Shoe maker, of Jenkintown, both with Dela mater leanings, did not even allow their names to be presented to the convention. The prospective candidates for office all got in out of the wet under the Hastings ban ner. So sure did General Hastings' admirers make themselves oi their work that each nominee for delegate was required to get up in convention and publicly declare whether he would support Hastings or Delamater. Two ballots were required to select the fol lowing from ten candidates: J. Morton Brown, Korristown; "William O'Brien, Pottstown; Joseph W. Hunter, Jenkintown: Abraham D. liosenberger, Hatfield, and "William B. Crawford, Lower Merion. The slate was unbroken. Resolutions were adonted amirovinir of the Eepublican administration, the courses of Senators Cameron and Quay and Con gressman Yardley, Secretary of Internal Affairs Stewart and the administration of Governor Beaver, and demanding uniform taxation. They concluded as follows: AN INSTEUCTED DELEGATION. Resolved, That the candidacy of General Daniel H. Hastings for tbe office" of Governor of Pennsylvania voices tbe popular will of the Republican paoplo of Montgomery connty; that his public services in maintaining the efficiency of tbe State Guard ana to the suffering people of Johnstown during tbeir calamity, prove his qualifications and fitness for tbe highest office in the gilt of tne Commonweal tb, and we hereby instruct the delegates elected by the conven tion to use all honorable means to secure bis nomination for the office of- Governor of the Commonwealth. An attempt to substitute ''request" in place of "instruct" was loudly lost. Tho lailure of the convention, to. sindora the course of their State Senator and"the As semblymen from this district is very signifi cant,ind keenly felt by those intended to be injured. The convention adjourned with cheers and a tiger for General Hastings. VICTORY BY ACCLAMATION.

The Eepublicans of Lackawanna county assembled in con vention here to-day. The Scranton and anti-Scranton forces were around early working hard for their respective candi dates.

A POLITICAL QUES1 X o THOUSANDS HAVE NOT BEEN IN ALABAMA. v? v a yPn-rf. 1- Tho Stale Committee Demands a A. Census and the Punishment of tho E meratars Hundreds Missed In tbe City of Birmingham Alone. rSrECTAI. TELEGBAK TO TITS! DISPATOn.1 Bibmingham, Ala., June 17. There is going to be a big kick in this city, if not in the entire State, on account of the im perfect census work. The enumerators in this city were granted three extra days and will complete their work by to-morrow night It is positively known that hun dreds, possibly thousands, have not been enumerated. Several large boarding houses have not been visited and in some of tho big shops a large percentage of the men have not been counted. The Eepublican Executive Com mittee of the State, in session here to-day, passed the following without a dissenting vote: Wueeeas. The best Interests of all people of Alabama irrespective of party, demand that thejprescnt census should bo taken complete; and Whereas, It is rumored and reported through tbe columns of various newspapers that a large number of citizens have been missed by tho enumerators for somo cause, and that they have failed to visit boarding houses represent ing several hundred persons in tbe city of Bir mingham alone, as well as railroad shops and other institutions; and Whereas, These complaints come from other cities as well, be it Itesolved, By the Eepublican Executive Com mitteo of Alabama, that the Superintendent of the Census of tbe United States be informed of the facts, and if proven, as stated above, that an additional census be taken at once, and those responsible for this error and omission bo held accountable as provided for In the laws. This Is not only a political question, but one of gen eral interest to every good citizen. A dispatch from Charleston, S. C, says: There is widespread discontent here about the result of the census enumeration, and there is good reason for believing that the work has been loosely done. Several of tbe enumerators gave up their work, and therefore the time will be continued at least until to-morrrw. The white enumerators seem to have done their work pretty thoroughly. The negro enumer ators, on the otber hand, seem to have done it very loosely. It is said that hundreds of families have not been counted. There are 30 districts in the city,each of which was calcu lated to show over 2,000 population. Some of these fall off from 500 to COO, and it is claimed that this is caused by the negligence ot the numerators. Numbers of cases have been reported where the enumerators have refused to count the members of a house hold who had been sent to a summer resort in another State alter June 1. A number of other eases are reported in which the enumerator has never called at the bouse. The last city census two years ago gave a population of 63,000. It is thought that the present census will show a total of not over 55,000. It is also said that the increase in the colored population is considerably more than that in the whites.

London, June 17. Lord Salisbury's dispatch to Sir E. B. Malet, the British Ambassador at Berlin, containing the agree ment with Germany, declares that Ger many's claim that where one power occupies the coast another may not, without con sent, occupy unclaimed regions in the rear, cannot be allowed in cases where the country is already occupied by English men; bnt where there are no English settle ments. England has no title to advance against the German claims. The agreement, as collated from the foregoing dispatch and from the special edition of the Iieichtan zeiger, of Berlin, is as follows: England retains tbo Stevenson road, which will be tho boundary between tbe En glish and German spheres. Northward Ger many retains the region as far as tbe Congo State and along the first degree of south lati tude, in order to make tbe frontier coincide as nearly as possible with tbe region covered by Stanley's treaties. Germany cedes Witu, the islands of Mandel and Patta and Somali, comprising a coastline of over 200 miles, to England, so that, except tbe Congo State, there will be no competition with Uritisb Influence between tbe first degree south latitude and the borders of Egypt along the whole country lying south and west of the Italian protectorate. Germany consents that England shall assume an exclusive protector ate in tbe Sultanate of Zanzibar, including tbo islands of Zanzibar and Pemba. England will assist Germany to obtain tbo cession of the German coast lino bltborto rented from tbe Saltan on the payment of an equitable indemnity. England, considering Heligoland useless since she lost Hanover, will cede it to Germany, subject to the consent of Parliament. The present customs tariff will be continued 20 years.

She has been predicting all sorts of disasters and spreading the doctrine of faith healing.

The result was a complete" tie up, which will affect business and manu facturing interests seriously unless epeeaily broken. No freight is taken at Pittsburg for shipment to Cleveland. rSFZCIAI. TELEOKAJl TO TIIZ DISPATCHY! Cleveland, June 17". This city is prac-; tically isolated from all commercial centers. Not a car of freight was received or dis patched to-day by a single line of railroad entering the city. Churchyard quiet reigned in the yards of the Lake Shore, Erie, Penn sylvania, Nickel Plate, Big Four, Valley and connecting roads. All the work per mitted by strikers was the making up of passenger trains, to which no objection has) been offered. Hundreds of cars of freight stand in the yards ready to be unloaded, and along the docks there are trains of ore-laden cars ready to be moved, bnt no one to move them. Early in the morninea Pennsylvania engine was m anned with extra help and a very lit tle necessary switching in the yards was accomplished with the aid of some of the higher officials, who had not touched a coupling or switch bar for years. A FECULIAB STBIKE. The strike is somewhat peculiar from this reason. Last Snnday Grand Master Sweeney, of the Switchmen's Union, was here, and after hearing tbe story of the men, counseled them not to strike. They abided by his advice and he left late in the after noon, having secured a promise from the men to refrain from heroic measures in the settlement of grievances alleged. Scarcely had the train that whirled him away passed the city limits when the turbu lent element among the switchmen again asserted itself, and after a revolutionary speech or two all promises to Sweeney were forzotten aud a loud howl was made for an instantaneous strike. There was no stop ping the movement, and the strike tool: place much against tbe wishes of many. Grand Master Sweeney was telegraphed for, and is expected to be presentto-morrow. Despite the fact that a small conservative element opposed the strike, action was ab solutely unanimous when it once went into effect, not a switchman, union or non-union, was left BELIEVE THET WILL WIN. The men were greatly surprised at the turn of affairs and from the fact that every switchman in the city is out, count more positively on success. This morning a meet ing of the strikers was held. The interior of the room was like a sceno in Bedlam. There were COO men shonting. yelling and making impromptu speeches from all parts of the room. There was no order and tha Chairman had no control. The sentiment of the men was general, however, to perfect the strike and in not one instance was there an indication of weakening. If the railroads succeed in getting experi enced men to do the work, the strike will collapse. The switchmen admit this, but are of the opinion that before such men can be. procured the companies will be compelled to give in, since at this season of the year enormous quantities of perishable goods' are constantly arriving on all local railroad lines. In anticipation of trouble the Sheriff has all his men ready to turn out at a moment's notice, and special men have been hired to patrol the railroad yards. Had the strikers the sanction of their Grand Master in the course they have pursued it would undoubt edly be a great relief. As it is they seem to think that he will disapprove oi their action upon his arrival, and possibly order" them back to work. This afternoon Super intendent Poree, of the Pennsylvania Rail road, called upon Mayor Gardner and asked -for police protection along bis lineto-mor-, row, saying that an attem pt was to be made ' to move the cars and supply factories. , MUST HAVE COAL AT ONCE. "With bim was Manager Tucker, of' Ihe mammoth rolling mill plant at Newburg, who informed the Mayor that unless they could set coal immediately tne mills would be compelled to shut down. The officers of the American "Wire Company also an nounced a lack of fuel, and declared their necessity of stopping work unless supplies were immediately procured. Similar intel ligence was received from other factories, and unless relief comes 5,000 men will be thrown out of employment Superintend ent Poree said they had the men to do the work if the city would grant protection. The men, however, did not care to run tho risk of personal assault The Mayor took the matter under advise ment and said that he would issue a procla mation in the morning forbidding all inter ference with men who were willing to work. If that did not suffice he would be compelled to resort to more stringent measures. The Committee of Arbitration of the Board of Trade is anxious to take a hand in the mat ter, being of the belief that they can adjust all differences satisfactorily to both sides. This committee has been very successful in nrevious labor troubles. The railroad officials asserted at noon tbat steps were be ing taken which would not render the ser vices of the Committee of Arbitration nec essary. The commission merchants are in a spe cially bad plight, as thousands of dollars'" worth of berries snd garden produce are locked up in freight cars, which may not be unloaded until tho contents are ruined. In spite of the fact that the police mav take a hand in the trouble to-morrow, but little apprehension of serious trouble is felt. TDE SITUATION HERE. PITTSBURG ROADS TAKING NO FREIGHT FOR CLEVELAND.
