Reed and His Followers Again Defeated by the Free Coinage Advocates. 'ONLY A BARREN VICTORY, As Iho Speaker Succeeds in Prevent ing Final Action by the ADOPTION OP DILATORY TACTICS. Conger, of the Coinage Committee, is Hold ing on to the Bill. THE QUESTION MAI BE DECIDED TO-DAI The House Journal, as corrected by the Totes of the Democrats and free coinage Republicans, was approved yesterday. This was another blow at Beed, but the Speaker was able to avert a vote on the bill itself. The outcome of the strutrgle is still in doubt. rrnoK a staff conREsroxnEirr.l Washington, June 20. Again for nearly the whole of an alternoon the House of Representatives wrangled over the prob lem of the position of the silver bill. The Democrats claimed that the action of the House in erasing from the journal all record of the reference of the bill to the Committee on Coinage left the bill where it was pre vious to the reference, and that was on the Speaker's table. The Republicans claimed that the action ot the House merely erased a fact from the journal, and that that act did not affect the position of the bill. Every motion bearing on the subject was carried against the po sition of the Republicans, but when it came to the point of a test vote as to whether the bill should be taken up, which would have finally disclosed the Speaker's opinion as to the position of tne bill, the Speaker ruled that the bill could not properly be taken up, as this was a day set apart tor the con sideration of private bills, and after dispos ing of the question of the reading of the journal there was nothing else in order ex cept the consideration of private bills. ACCORDING TO THE RULES. In this, as in his other mimes, the Speaker was clearly in accordance with the rules, though it is the opinion of many that if the bill had been in accordance with the Speaker's views he might have strained a point in the other direction. It is probable that the question of the location of the bill will be settled to-morrow, and that some action will be taken to show the exact temper of the House in regard to the measure. The contest in the House was renewed "to-day after tbe Chaplain's prayer. Tne journal of yesterday's proceedings was not read, and the Speaker announced the pend ing question to be ordering the previous question ou the motion made by Mr. Mills, of Texas, to approve the journal of Wednes day as amended by the resolution of yester day. The previous question was ordered yeas, 126; nays, 122. Mr. McKinley, of Ohio, before the announcement o. the vote, changed his vote to the affirmative (amfd suzgestions of "filibustering" and jeers from the Democratic side), and then moved a re consideration. OSE DEMOCRATIC BOLTER. Mr. Tracy, of New York, voted with the Republicans. Republicans voting with the Democrats in the affirmative were Messrs. Bartine, Carter, Dehaven, Hermann, Kel ler, Morrow &nd Townsend, of Colorado. Mr. McKinley also voted in the affirmative for the purpose stated. Mr. Mills moved to table the motion to reconsider. The motion to reconsider was tabled yeas, 131; nays, 129. The question then recurred on approv ing the journal of Wednesday s proceed ings, as amended, and Mr. McKinley de nanded the yeas and nays. ' Before the vote on this motion had been ' announced, it was whispered about that it had resulted in a tie, which really defeated the motion. Mr. Dargin, of South Carolina, and Mr. Tracy, of New York, (Democrats), voted "no" with the Republicans. Mr. Dargan at once became the center of attrac tion. Democratic leaders gathered about him and implored him to change his vote, and their efforts were successlul. Dargan was recognized be'ore the result was an nounced, and stated that he desired to change his vote from "no" to "aye." Then the Speaker announced that the yeas were 132, the nays 130, and the journal as amended was approved. BLAND TO THE FRONT. Mr. Bland, of Missouri, then offered his resolution to take up the silver bill. Mr. McKinley, of Ohio, made the point ot order that the motion was not privileged, and that the only way to reach the Speaker's table was to follow the order of morning business. Mr. Conger, of Iowa, added, as a inrtber point amid scarcastic Democratic laughter, thatthe bill was not on the Speaker's table, but in the hands of the Coinage Committee. Mr. Bland argued in oDposition to the point of order, and held that the bill was on the Speaker's table and therefore within reach. Mr. Springer, or Illinois, said that the effect of the special order under whibh the bill was originally considered was to take the bill out of the committee of the whole. The only question was whether the Senate had added new matter an amendment that was subject to consideration iii the com mittee ol the whole. The original Honse bill had an indefinite appropriation clause the bill as it came from the Senate had an identical clause, except that the order of the words was slightly changed. FOB DIFFERENT PURPOSES. Mr. Peters, of Kansas, asked if the appro priations were not .for different purposes one for free coinage and the other for some thing else. Mr. Springer did not think so. The Senate appropriation clause would not involve the expenditure of 2 per cent of the sum appropriated by the House bill, but the purpose was identical. The new matter inserted by the Senate was not subject to reference to the committee of the whole. If the friends of free silver would vote in the proper uirecuon tney would soon have an opportunity to vote directly upon the bill as it came ironi the Senate. Mr. Conger, or Iowa, mairtalned that the appropriations were for different purposes. But aside from that all that the House had done so far was to Wot out or erase the refer ence of the bill. How did that affect the facts? There was record evidence that the Speaker had referred the bill to the Commit tee on Coinage; that it has been delivered bv the Journal Clerk to the clerk of the Coin age Committee, and that he had it in hh. possession. If the Honse wanted to recall the bill from the Coinage Committee it could do w.by proceeding under the rules. ' NO EVIDENCE OP IT. .Mr. Crisp, of Georgia, wanted to know where the evidince wa that the bill had been referred. The House spoke oulv through its journal. .Mr. Conger said that the gentlemen could gee the bill in the committee room. .Mr. Crisp replied that that made no dif ference in the legislative situation. Mr Cnnfrr nevertheless maintained that the bill was still properly and actually before his committee. Mr. Morrow, of California, said that the action of the house yesterday was exceed ingly significant or its disposition. The fact was that there was no reference at ail that the Speaker had no authority to refer the bill, and that his action was not void able, but void. The Tact was that the bill was upon the Speaker's table. Mr. Brewer, of Michigan (sotto voce): "I'll bet you a dollar and a half it isn't, A PARLIAMENTARY FICTION. Mr. Morrow, continuing, said that the mere physical fact that the gentleman from Iowa (Mr. Conger) or his clerk had the actual possession of the bill made no differ ence in its parliamentary position. Mr. Butterwortb, of Ohio, declared that the House, by adopting Mr. Mills' resolu tion, had declared that the bill had not been referred. Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, asked if Mr. Morrow would contend tbat if the House, beinc under Democratic management for the time being, should burn up the recordof the passage of a Senate bill, that the bill would fail? Mr. Morrow insisted that there was a material difference between the fact and this supposition. Mr. Butterworth declared that there were not 25 men under the dome of the Capitol who believed that the bill was incorrectly referred, upon tneir oath. Republican ap plause. Mr. Morrow replied that the ma jority of the House had declared otherwise. He was here to carry out the wishes of the people the majority of the people. TYRANNY OP A MAJORITY. Mr. Butterworth said that there was no tyranny like the tyranny of the majority that acted in disregard of the law. Great Democratic applause. If gentlemen acted in conformity with their applause they would not stand trying to place the bill be fore the House in violationof the plain lule. Mr. 'Williams, of Illinois, said 'that yes terday, while the motion to reconsider was pending and the resolution had been adopt ed, the chairman of the Committee on Coin age had walked up to the Sneaker's desk, taken up a bill that he (Mr. 'Williams) had every reason to believe was the silver bill, had handed it over to the cleric of the Com mittee on Coinage, who had refused to an swer his (Mr. Williams') question as to whether or not it was the silver bill, and had carried it away. Why had this thing been done? It reauired an explanation. It looked like a conspiracy to obtain physical possession of the bill, and deprive the House ol an opportunity to pass upon it. CONGER HaS THE BILL. Mr. Conger, of Iowa, said that the bill had been delivered to his clerk before 11 o'clock yesterday morning and had been re ceipted for. During the afternoon, upon the request of the Journal Clerk, it had been put in his possession for a short time, in order to make some clerical indorsements, but be (Mr. Conger) had again taken it back to the Committee Clerk. Mr. McCreary. of Kentucky, maintained that under a higher law than the rules of the House under the Constitution itself the hill had never been properly in charge of the Committes on Coinage. The Consti tution required the House to keep a journal. Until tbat journal was approved it was not proper to send the bill anywhere. The entry made in the journal was not voidable, but void, fie held that the bill was on the Speaker's table and should be placed before the House for action. The Speaker In due order. Mr. McCreary insisted that the bill was upon the Speaker's table. SUPPOSING A CASE. The Speaker asked whether, supposing that the bill was found to be upon the Speaker's table, it did not then come up only in the regular order of precedence. Mr. Bland replied that he had demanded the regular order when he introduced his reso lution that regular order involved the con sideration of the Senate bills on the Speaker's table. The Speaker said that he did not so un derstand the gentleman's motion. Mr. Can non asked that the Speaker rule upon the motion. The Speaker said that he did not think that the resolntion was in order now. Mr. McMillin, of Tennessee, maintained that there was no authority for Mr. Conger's action in taking possession ot a bill which the House had declared had not been re ferred to his committee. Mr. Bland modified the language of his resolution so as to direct that the Speaker, under rule 24, lay matters on his table, in cluding the silver bill, before the House lor action. The Speaker saia that perhaps he could simplify the matter a little, and sug gested to Mr. Bland that he understood his iwish to be simply to get at this matter when it would naturally come up, supposing that it was upon the Speaker's table (not passing upon the matter at this time). What the Chair proposed to do was that when the bill or its hiitns, whatever it might be, was reached, it should be brought before the House. But the gentleman did not seem to consider tbat this was Friday private bill day and that private bills alone were in order. A PERTINENT INQUIRY. Mr. Bland asked whether the bill would be laid before the House to-morrow morn ing. The Speaker declined to decide that question until the proper time. Mr. Mc Comas, of Maryland, demanded the regular order. The Speaker said tbat the regular order was a private bill, which he passed to the reading clerk. Mr. Springer, or Illinois, wished to know when the Chair might be expected to decide where the bill was. The Speaker Whenever the bill would be in order, providing tbat the views ot the other side were correct (about which the Chair presents no opinion, because he does not think it is the proper time.) As Mr.-Bland and Mr. Springer finally insisted on a specific ruling, the Speaker finally ruled that Mr. Bland's resolution (to proceed to the consideration of the silver bill) was not in order under the rules. Mr. Bland appealed from the decision. Mr. McKinley moved to lay the appeal on the table. The yeas and nays were ordered, pending which Mr. Crisp moved that the House adjourn. This motion was defeated, but the hour of 5 o'clock arrived and the House, under the rule, took a recess, the evening session to be ior pension business. Nothing was accomplished at this session either, and the entire day passed without any legislative work, except the adoption of the conference report upon the anti-trust bill. USING THE VETO POWER.

When the case came up last week, however, the most im portant witness, Willie Carrow, was missing and Murphy was arrested for spiriting the boy awav. The probability of spending the summer in prison induced Murphy to make a clean breast of the matter and the result is that warrants have been issued for Harry Phillips, the former backer oi John L. Sul livan; F. McDcrmid, a former Law and Or der Leagne detective, and S. A. Parker, of New York, for spiriting away young Car row. The application for the warrants was made on the strength of an affidavit by Murphy, wherein he says tbat he and McDermid look Carrow to Harry Phillips' stable and that he was shipped irom there to New York.

TWIN CITIES AT WAR Over Alleged Frauds in Connection With the Minneapolis Census. SEVEN. ARRESTED ENUMERATORS Siren a Preliminary Hearinc and the Case Postponed lilt August OTHER LOCALITIES ARE PKOTESTING And Complaints of Imprrfrct Work by Porter's Men . Are I'onrln; In. There is war between St. Paul and Min neapolis. Seven enumerators of the latter city, arrested for frauds in connection with the census, were arraigned yesterday before a United .States Commissioner, and the hearing was continued until August 20. St. Paul, June 20. The trial of the seven arrested Minneapolis census enumer ators came up before United States Com missioner McCaffcrty in this city this morn ing. They were arrested by United States Marshal Daggett on warrants sworn out by William Pitt Murray, of this city, alleging frauds in connection with their census labors. The- warrants were served on Tuesday night, while they were engaged in compar ing their own returns with those of the Bus iness Men's Union, by whom an effort was being made to prevent the overlooking of any residents of Minneapolis. It was al leged that false retnrns were being made, and a mass of documents, seized nt the same time, have been held us evidence in the case. MINNEAPOLIS IS MAD. Wednesday morning a search warrant was issued in the Minneapolis Municipal Court, and officers attempted to gain possession of these papers as necessary to the completion of the Minneapolis census, but the United States Commissioner had given strict orders, and no papers were given up. The citizens of Minneapolis have been greatly aroused, and so much reeling has been engendered that every little point in the history ol tbe case has Seen greatly magnified, and the con sequent indignation at what was considered improper and outrageons interference in Minneapolis affairs by the city of St. Paul has been greatly intensified. However, the tacts are as above stated, the stories of assaults upon residents of the two cities being not only much exaggerated, but in some cases entirely untrue. Still there has been, and is great interest in and much excitement over the case, as was evi dent about the Government building this morning. A CHANGE OP VENUE ASKED. The hearing was in the grand jury room, which was far too small. Messrs. Lawler ana Munn were accepted as assistants to United Stites Attorney Hay, notwithstand ing the objection ot the defendants, and Mr. Hay's expression of readiness to go on with the prosecution without them. Mr. Hay being a resident of Minneapolis and Messrs. Lawler and Munn being from St. Paul, Mr. Murray, who swore out the warrants, had requested that these attorneys be accepted as assistants to Mr. Hay, and the latter con sented. Affidavits were then filed by each of the seven defendants expressing the belief that United States Commissioner McCafferty was prejudiced, and they feared an impartial hearing was impossible. Judge McCafferty denied any prejudice, and heard argument and authoritiesjn the application of State laws on a change of venue to the present case. This continued until noon, when an adjournment was taken until 2 JO o'clock, without any decision having been an nounced. CONTINUED UNTIL AUGUST. At the afternoon session Judge McCafferty announced his decision against the motion for a change of venue, and at the request of the United States Attorney, who desired to communicate with the department at Wash ington before acting, it was continued until August 20. The result of to-day's hearing in the case of the Minneapolis census enumerators, ar rested on a charge of illegal methods and padding returns, has been considered by some as a victory for the defense. In this connection the Pioneer Press, which has largely headed the prosecution, will to morrow say in substance: "This action is but preliminary in character and it will be followed by more comprehensive measures which will bring tbe whole fraud and con spiracy to light." ONE CENSUS DISCOVERY. THE PECULIAR SECT FOUND IN LOWER CALIFORNIA. A Number of Yeselnrlnns Who Recognize No Hnmnn LawAll Refills to Answer the Enumerator's Questions and Will Probably be Arrested. .SPECIAL TELEaBXM TO THE DISPATCH.! San Francisco, June 20. Census enu merators in Southern California have run across a queer settlement near Anaheim. They are purely vegetarians, refuse to ac knowledge any government, church or law other thau Jehovah, and flatly decline to give any inlormation to census men. So it was fonnd necessary to arrest the en tire party, which consisted of fifteen. They still reluse to give any account of them selves, claiming that they are not citizens of the United States, but of the world, and no power has authority over them save the Supreme Buler.and will probably receive the full penalty of the law. The sect has many queer ideas and was started about 15 years ago, when George P. Hinde, au English man by birtb, located near Anaheim. He gave it out that he was desirous of demon strating that man could live without ani mal food, and that he could exist alone on nuts and vegetables. The result has been that he gathered around the colony about 15, most of whom are men, although women are admitted to the laith. All property is held in common. It is vested in land which belonns to the sect. They raise consider able produce, for which there is always a market, and in this way made a living in the past. Tbey have lived quietly with and among themselves, and public attention has never been directed to them until now. At present Walter Lockwood Thales appears as leader over these peculiar people. He is an Englishman like Hinde. His phrenological development shows tbat his mental and moral faculties are deficient, "while his animal faculties are largely developed. In explanation of his course'Hinde said: "We da not recognize the ngh'tof any King, Emperor, priest or leader to rule over us. Man governs himself through the dictates i of his own conscience. We aro not like Mormons. We do not make laws in defiance of laws against your Government nor do we advise anyone to break your laws. What we want is to be left to conduct ourselves aud our experiments in peace." All are vegetarians and they carry out their fanaticism in this line, us can be estimated from the fact "that some time ago they got into trouble through their burning a number of beehives belonging to their neighbors. They regard honey as an animal product and proposed to stop its mauulact ure by bees for use of men. Mroohlya Close to a Mil ion. rSFECIAL TELFORAMVO THE DISPATCH. New York, June 20. Luin's Brooklyn directory for 1690 has just been issued. It contains 200,671 mimes, nil increase of 5,443f over last year. The estimated population, ailowiug each name to represent four aud one-half persons, is 903,020, and Census Supervisor Sedgwick says his official figures will not differ much from these. Census Supervisor says New York's Fig ures Will be n Disappointment. nerXCIAL TELIOBAU TO TUB DtSFATCB.1 New York, June 20. All but about 40 of the 1,000 portfolios of the census enumer ators of the city have been turned in, and Supervisor Chas. H. Murray says he expects to receive the rest by to-morrow. Those that are yet outstanding belong to enumerators who had unusually large or difficult dis tricts to cover. In some of these four men were required, and the work was hampered by resignations and declinations. To-morrow is the day on which Supervisor Mur ray has promised to give out a rough esti mate of the city's population. He said that to-day's figures gave him no reason to change his beliet that it will not vary much from the estimate of the Board ot Health, which places the total at from 1.600,000 to 1,700,000. "I will have a rough estimate in round figures," said Supervisor Murray, "perhaps by to-morrow afternoon. I imagine, how ever that there will be a disappointment when the actual figures become known. I think they will be much smaller than was expected. You know that for about five years back there has been a general exodus going on. Hundreds ot families who lived in tenements and flats have moved to Brooklyn, Jersey City and the suburbs on account of the cheapness of rents in those sections. Our investigation and enumeration have shown that the lower part of the city is being pre-empted at a surprising rate by business houses." WHOLE FAMILIES OMITTED. Newark, O., Residents Indignant Over the Work of the Enumerator. rSFECIAL TELEGItAM TO TIME CISrATCnl Newark, June 20. Most of the census enumerators in this county have made their returns to Supervisor S. H. Peterman. Already here in the city, with its estimated population of 17,000, complaints are coming in that the work has not been done thoroughly by the persons intrusted to do the duty. In some instances, and in some wards, whole families have been omitted from the list, no enumerator going near their residence. Two families, one of nine and the other of six persons, report this to be the case to-day. Considerable indignation is manifested over the way the work has been performed. MAN AND WIFE HANGED. JOSIAH POTTS AND WIFE EXECUTED ON ONE SCAFFOLD. Tbey Stonily Mnlntnlu Their Innocence at the Last Moment The Bones of Their Victim to be Bnrled Beside the Mur derers'. Elko, Nev., June 20. Josiah and Eliza beth Potts were hanged here for the murder of au aged man named Fawcett. At 10:30 o'clock this morning the Sheriff read the death warrants to the condemned. Josiah stood in a most despondent attitude, with his bead bowed down against the iron bars, aud never once during the reading did be lilt his head or eyes. His wife stood erect, pale, but with a most determined aspect in every feature. During the read ing of her own warrant only once did she show any emotion whatever, and then she convulsively clutched her throat. When her husband's warrant was being read and the words "hanged by the neck until dead" were read, she gave a hysterical gasp and seemed to exhibit much ieeling. At the conclusion of tbe reading Mrs. Potts earnestly ejaculated: "I am innocent and God knows it," and Josiah Potts reit erated: "God knows we are innocent." The gloomy procession led the wav through tbe side door 20 minutes later and with bravery unexpected by the spectators, the condemned seated themselves on the stools provided on tbe scaffold while the deputy sheriffs proceeded to bind them with leather straps, Mrs. Potts helping to adjust them her Self, and Potts sitting in stolidity. When everything had been properly ad justed tbey were directed to rise. All of the attendants shook hands with the condemned. As they stood, after shaking hands, Potts made several endeavors to clasp the hand of his wile without accomplishing it. Finally she turned her eyes toward his and tbe mute appeal of lovu caused their lips to meet ior a brief moment. As tbe rope was stretched around Mrs. Potts' neck she clasped her hands together and, lilting her eyes toward the sky, exclaimed: "God help me, I am innocent" Her hus band reiterated in a hollow tone, "God knows we are both innocent" As the black caps were drawn over their heads, shutting out the last light of day, the words of the clergyman, who remained with them to the last, broke the silence: "Put your trust in God aud He will see yon righted." And then the drop fell. Mrs. Potts was at once a corpse, owing to her heavy weight o Potts' vitality, despite his emanciated condition, was very great, it being a frac tion over 14 minutes before life was pro nounced extinct. When tbe body of Mrs. Potts vias cut down it was found her ex cessive weight on the Gl-loot drop had almost severed the head from the trunk.

In Its True Form Which Spreading in Spain. BRITISH BETALIATORY ACTS Will be at Ones Applied if the Tariff Bill Becomes a Law. Kew THE BANQDETING OF FOREIGXEES By the Saltan of Turkey Canslor Tronble-OtherCabte Hews or Interest Eminent physicians state that tbe cholera which is prevalent in Spain is the true Asiatic disease. Herr Bebel, Socialist, ad ministers sound advice to bis fellow work men. The British House of Commons will take retaliatory measures if the Senate Tariff bill passes. London, June 20. Mr. Thomas Henry Wnkeley, F. B. C S.f edifor of the London Lancet, this evening furnished the follow ing summary of the progress of the cholera epidemic in Europe np to date: Wbile.watching to see whether cholera was this year to advance from Mesopotamia and Persia by means of lines of human Intercourse between those countries and Southeastern Russia, news has come that Western Europe is again the seat of tho disease. Tbe first place affected was the village of Pnebla Bngat, in tbe Spanish province of Valencia. Tbe vil lage has a population of some 700 inhabitants. Tbe disease was first recognized May 13, and its announcement was followed by tbe usual denials as to tne true character of the malady. Then Its choleric character was admitted, and lastly came the official announcement by the Minister of the Interior to the Spanish cortes that cholera did certainly prevail in Valencia, but that it was not Asiatic cholera. The present outbreak may fairly be regarded as local cholera or cholera nostra rather than cholera newly imported from Asia. But tbe history of tbe disease in Spain is essentially thai of true Asiatic cholera. In Paris M. Constans, on the report of the Sanitary Board tbat tbe cholera in Spain is the genuine Asiatic pestilence, has dispatched tbe experts Doctors Charron and Netter, to sopetintentt the precaution ary measures on the frontier. Iron disin fecting chambers have been sent to all custom nooses, and goods coming from Spain are snb mitted to heat in order to kill the microbe. Officers of health have been ordered to all frontier towns and quarantine is oraered at the port of Marseilles against all vessels which have touched at any Spanish port The Madrid Medical Commission yesterday reported 83 cases at Pnebla Bngat and 42 at Senars. Several cases dintinctly choleraic have occurred at Bergamin and several deaths. Cholera is also suspected at Malaga. D7JTJEIH0 BRITISH DTDUSTRTES. Tbe New Tariff Calls Forth a Retaliatory Motion In tbe Honse of Commons. London, June 20. In the House of Com mons to-day Mr. Charles Howard Vincent C Conservative) member for Central Sheffield asked whether the Government would require the United States to modify the prohibitive duties upon British products before it wonld make any modifications in tbe rules governing tbe importation of American cat tle into Great Britain. Sir James Fergusson said that the re strictions upon the importation of cattle into Great Britain were based solely on sanitary considerations, without regard to the fiscal systems or other nations. Mr. Vincent tbereupou laid on the table of the House a notice that he wonld submit a motion declaring that as the proposed American tariff will inflict a great injury upon the trade of Sheffield, and upon British traders and artisans generally, the House will consider whether a free market ought to be longer given to the competing products of a foreign State, which puts a prohibitory tariff upon British goods. Mr. Vincent's notice was greeted with Conservative cheers. Eight Hon. W. H. Smith, the Govern ment leader in tbe House, announced that instead of movingthe resolntion continuing bills from session to session he had adopted the suggestion made by Mr. Glad stone to move that a select committee be ap Eointed to inquire by what means the bills ad been considered at one session could which facilitate the next ensuing. A SENSIBLE SOCIALIST. Herr Bebel Gives Good Advieo to His Fellow Workmen. Berlin, June 20. At a great meeting of Socialists here to-day Herr Bebel spoke strongly against useless strikes. He said that many errors in the matter of strikes bad recently been committed throughout Germany. A majority of his col leagues, intoxicated by the result of the election, believed they could do what they liked with tbe middle class. It was a mis take; the, leaders must act with caution. Adverting to the boycott recently placed on Bavarian beer brewed in Berlin he said the weapon of the boycott was abused, and that the leaders of the workingmen were incom petent The meeting was not in accord with Herr Bebel, and the want of confidence in the Berliner Volksblatt, because that paper has taken Bebel's view of strikes. It was de cided, however, to remove the boycott on Bavarian beer, the breweries having ar ranged a compromise with tbe strikers. OBJECT TO BANQUETS.

"If anything else is needed to convince yon of the falsehoods told by these men," he went on, "then go to their own words.

Later on in his speech Mr. Powderly said: "Imight spend a week in detailing instances of treachery by their officers. At the last conference at the Girard House we laid be fore them document after document show ing the interference ot their assemblies by direction of the general officers, but they re fused to listen to them. Go where you will in cases in which charges have been made and investigated, you will find tbey worked under the price and not our men. At the very time we were standing baud in hand in conference, they were admitting Harry J. Skeaffington, an assassin of labor, whom we had expelled. This is the kind of men we have had to deal with. They are the enemies of labor. no use tor oompkrs.

The day has come when this organization of ours has taken its last insult in silence. We want trades union men to understand this they who take the assassin's dagger instead of a sword for a weapon I have taken their insults, bave allowed every sneer, every jibe to go unnoticed. From this time forth we seek no quarrels, but whenever a snarling cur snaps at our heels, we propose to take whatever weapon is nearest at hand todrive that cur from the ranks or labor." Five or six hundred people left the ball during the speech, which occupied two hours in delivery. At the close Mr. Powderly got a round of cheers, with applause lasting some moments. CLOSED ITS DOORS. THE,CONTROLLER OF CURRENCY ORDERS THE PARK NATIONAL Of Chicago to Ceass Operations The Causes Wblcb Led to This Action Said to bo Lack of Proper Securities A Receiver to be Appointed. Chicago, Jnne 20. The Park National Bank, of this city, closed its doors this morning, and a crowd of depositors now sur round its place of business. Charles P. Packard is its president It has been or ganized only a few years. Its stock sold at par yesterday. The failure was not unexpected in bank ing circles. Its President "made consider able money in the hat business, and took: charge of, the bank, without, it is said, sufficient knowledge of banking. The re sult was that its loan department was under stood tc be conducted less strictly than con servative bankers consider necessary, with the result of getting a rather poor line of paper. President Packer maintains that bis bans: is perfectly solvent and that it will be re opened for business in a few days. A great many reasons for the failure are assigned by bankers, who claim to have a knowledge of the Park National and its affairs. One of the principal causes is said to be the Fort Sheridan contract, which the Park National assumed about a year ago, and which has caused the outlay of considerable money upon which no money returns have been re ceived. It is also stated that the Park Na tional was the victim of several large busi ness failures which have operated to deplete its resources. The first creditor to take action against the bank after the doors were closed was Alfred Peats, who sued out an attachment for $4,100, but, as the bank was in the hands of a United States official, the attachment was not served. A telegram from Washington savs: The Controller of the Currency said that his action in closing the .farlc .National .Banc of Chicago was based on the report of tbe Bank Examiner, who has been investigating its affairs for the past two weeks and who is not altogether sitisfied with the charac ter of its assets. It is impossible, the Controller says, to tell now the extent of the bank's failure because of the questionable value of soma of the collaterals and securities. The papers are of other cities, and not being properly listed their value cannot be esti mated with any reliability. It appears the Controller says that the bank has made large loans or. doubtful securities, and that some of the officers ot the bank have been heavy borrowers on its account The bank has a capital ot $200,000, and its deposits amount to $500,000. A lawyer representing the directors had an Interview with the Controller to-day, and requested all proper indulgence in their efforts to put the bank on its feet again. The Controller says that a receiver will cer tainly be appointed, unless there is a change of management, an J a liberal con tribution of new capital to pnt tbe bank on a sound financial basis.

AN OFFICIAL'S SCALP WASTED. The Mail of Charleston Still Handled by a Democrat Who ' SUITS THE FBESEKT'ADHIHISTEATIOS Forced ts Stand Outside of Wanamixcr's Door and Dt Their Tallin?. Southern colored Republicans allege that Wanamaker is discriminating against them. They even claim that they are not treated with common courtesy at the Postofnce DeV partment rsrECT.lI. TTtlPBAH TO THS DISrATCH.1 Washington, June 20. The colored politicians who came here from the South ern States are greatly displeased with Post master General Wanamaker, and they ac cuse him of gross incivility toward them on. many occasions. Three South Carolina Re publicans, one white man and two colored men, called at tbe Postoffice Department to consult Mr. Wanamaker on the subject of removing the Democratic postmaster at Charleston and appoint a colored Bepub lican. The trio consisted of ex-Congressman Bob Smalls, Collector of Customs at Beaufort, Tom Miller, contestant for Congressman Elliott's seat in Congress from the Seventh Carolinadistrict, and United States Marshal Cunningham, one or the wealthiest and most popular white Republicans in South Carolina. just a little shy. Miller was a little shy about calling on the Postmaster General, because the latter on several former occasions intimated very clearly that he was not inclined to grant any requests coming from that source. However. Smalls insisted that it was desira ble that tbey should make an effort in be half of their colored brother Crum, who is an applicant for the Charleston Postmaster ship, so they called on the Postmaster Gen eral. Arriving at the door leading to Wana maker's office they were informed thatthey must send in their cards befure obtaining' admission to the inner chamber. This was an unusual experience for ex-Congressman Smalls, and he did not hesitate to say so in most emphatic terms. Miller reminded him that it was one or the peculiarities of the Postmaster General, as far as colored Bepublicans are concerned. x case or discrimination. Smalls insisted that other members of the Cabinet make no such discrimination, and his blood boiled with indignation. It was bad enough to bave the door closed in his face, but the idea of being subjectedto such an indignitv in the presence of his hated rival, Miller, and Marshal Cunningham was almost too much for the dusky ex Congressman. In spite of his protests he and his com panions were obliged to cool their heels in the hallway for more than half an hour. , Finally Mr. Wanamaker appeared at the doorway of his office and the South Caro lina contingent arose, expecting to be in vited to walk in. In this they were disap pointed, for Mr. Wanamaker stood directly in the doorway and informed his callers that they might unburden themselves then and there. Miller promptly remarked that ha had no business with the Postmaster Gen eral and was there simply to accommodate his friend Smalls. The latter managed to stammer out something about tbe Charles ton postoffice. bnt was choked off with the declaration that the present postmaster is conducting the affairs of that ofhee in s. manner highly satisfactory to the business people of Charleston and the department, and a change at this time was not deemed advisable. no time for argument. Smalls was disposed to argue the ques tion, bnt Mr. Wanamaker cut nim short by intimating that if he did not lik? the ruling ot the Postoffice Department on this subject he might apneal to the President Over come with rage and mortification Smalls and bis companions withdrew, tbe former vowing tbat he would go directly to the President and complain of Wanamaker's treatment Miller, who is more diplomatic, because of his pending contest, suggested that the President would probably sustain the action of the Postmaster General, and in that event a trip to the White House wonld simplybe double barreled rebuff. Miller therefore declined to call upon the President He was secretly delighted that his rival for Congress was turned down by tbe Postmaster General, and he inwardly rejoices that Smalls will not have the sup port of tbe administration in the coming contest for the nomination from the Seventh, district of South Carolina.
