The radi cal members are in a very indignant frame of mind. rSFKCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Washington, August 14. The Eepnb lican Senators held a protracted and lively caucus this evening, lasting nearly three hours. At the close of the conference each Senator was pledged to secrecy as to what took place. Under these circumstances it would be unparliamentary to state what oc curred with any degree of positivecess. It is intimated strongly in certain quar ters, however, that the force bill Senators were beaten outright on a direct vote on the motion of Senator Hoar to amend the Quay resolution by adding the force bill to the list of measures to be considered at this session. No secretary was present to keep a record of the vole but a shrewd guess gives the result as 17 Senators in favor of Mr. Hoar's motion and 18, against it No Definite roller Adopted. This was a blow between the eyes to the force bill Senators, so the rnmor goes, and they succeeded in securing an adjournment, thus preventing the friends of the Quay resolution from following up their victory by adopting it outright without amendment. Adjournment was then taken withontthe transaction of any further business and with out any understanding as to a intnre cancus or any other consideration of the subject. The result makes it probable that the Quay resolution will now come up in open Senate, where it is plain to see that it will be adopted. Of course, the force bill Sena tors will endeavor in every way possible to prevent this, but they have no assurance whatever on this point, as the caucus ad journed with nothing done or understood ex cept the defeat of Mr. Hoar's plan to have the elections bill inclnded in the Quay reso lution. Standing of the Senator. There were, it is rumored, 3G Senators at its cauens when it met, and a good gness places the vote on Mr. Hoar's amendment as follows: In favor, Messrs. Allison, Blair, Edmunds, Evarts, Hawley, Higgins, Hoar, Manderson, Moody, Piatt, Sawyer, Sher man, Spooner and "Wilson. In opposition, Messrs. Aldrich, Allen, Cameron, Doris, Diion, Hale, Hiscock, Jones, McMillan, Mitchell, Paddock, Pettigrew, Quay, Power, Squire, Stockbridge, Teller and "Washburn. The following Senators were absent from tne city: Messrs. Chandler, Dawes, Dolph, Farwell, Morrell, Stanford, Walcott and Pierce. The defeat of Mr. Hoar's motion was not accomplished until two or three very ex citing and interesting hours had been spent behind the closed doors of the Senate cham ber. A number of speeches were made on both sides of the question, it is understood, and they were of a very vigorous char acter. Eloquent, Threatening nnd Tenrfal. Mr. Hoar led in the appeal to stand by the force bill and while he grew eloqnent, threating and tearful in turn, he did not repent his codfish speech, notwithstanding his Pickwickian denial, he did make a pre vious cauens, just as it was reported when he made It He has not yet made a distinct denial. Messrs. Plumb and others made stirring speeches in opposition to Hoar, and the whole subject in all its phrases was dis cussed with the result as above indicated. Senator? Spooner made a strong speech, which some denominated "reading the riot act" He warned Senators that they must meet the issue squarely. The elections bill must be passed now at this session or not at alL It would be futile to go before the country with any statement that this bill would be passed at the short session. It was of supreme importance that it should be passed at once. His remarks brought out sharp retorts from several opponents of the hill. Attacks on the Kicker. Dnring the entire day the most deter, mined and persistent efforts were made to force Senators who ere known to be in favor of the Quay programme, or at least lukewarm, to see and admit the error of their ways, and repent while yet the lamps were burning. The irantic appeals and hitter denunciation of the party organs were read to the deserters, as they were called, And the intimation made that they were in danger of being read ont of the party, as Senator Qnay had already been. These Senators paid little attention to thrir would-be censors, however. xneir J.. ination to stand by the compromise arramrement was not reached in haste or l rv inmslse. It if Tell known now that 1 the Eepnblican side of the chamber was carefully canvassed for several days, and the men who were back of Mr. Quay knew exactly what support they had in the new movement. The intense bitterness with which the party organs have assaulted Mr. Qnay, is amnsing in the face of the fact that Senators Aldrich, Plumb, Teller, and other leaders, have known for several days that the resolution was to be offered, and were in hearty sympathy with it Mnny Anxloni to Go Home. Many other Senators have been all alone anxions to bring the session to a close, even at the cost of sacrificing tne elections bill, but for varions reasons thev have not dared to say so. Senator Ingalls is strongly op posed to the idea of any election bill, but has thought it well to maintain a dignified silence on the subject in view of the fact that he has such a formidable and many sided fight on his hands to secure a re-election. Senator Sawyer does not see the necessity of the bill, but has been held in line out of friendship if not fear of his colleague, Mr. Spooner, who is the godfather of the Hoar measure. Senator Cnllom has been eager to join his colleague, Mr. Farwell, in work ing for an early adjournment, bnt, keeping in mind at all times the fond delusion that he is a Presidental candidate, he has with his usual adroitness managed to ocenpy a neutral perch on the fence and so it goes. Other Senators are negative in their sup port of the Quay resolntion for similar reasons, and it is quite within bonnds to state that bnt for the fear of party displeas ure at least two-thirds of the Eepnblican Senators would be willing to vote for put ting the elections bill over until December, which would mean its indefinite postpone ment. Another Troublesome Feature. To-morrow (Friday) is the day set apart for the consideration of the river and harbor bill, and the friends of this measure have been qnite as anxious as to its fate as have the managers of the elections bill. It is very uncertain whether that Jumbo appro priation bill requires a week's discnsiion, or whether it can be disposed of at once. The Democrats are rather of the opinion that it is a very good subject to ventilate, and they will not be anxions to hasten the taking of a vote upon it unless they con strue to-night's action to mean that they have nothing to fear from the elections bill. The most ridicnlous story set afloat by the party organs is their statement that a score or more of the leading Eepublicans in the House have sworn that if the Quay resolu tion or anything like it is adopted by the Senate there will be no tarifl legislation by this Congress. No reputable Eepnblican in the House has been found willing to be re sponsible for thiB statement TIN PLATE TROUBLES. PLUMB PROPOSES A BOUNTY INSTEAD OF A DUTY. The Mnjorlty of Republican Senator, However. Stand by the McKlnley Bill Carlisle Doubt the Capacity of the Pittsburg Rolling Stills. "Washington, Augnst 14. In the Sen ate to-day Mr. Plumb gave notice of an amendment which he would offer to strike out of paragraph 137 the provision imposing a duty on tin plate, and to add to the para graph a provision to pay to the manufact urers of tin plate made in the United States a bounty of lvcent"per pound. He ex pressed great doubt as to the effect of the proposition of the Finance Committee. He doubted very much that it would perma nently introduce into this conn try the manu facture of tin plates in quantities sufficient for domestic consumption. Mr. Teller expressed his belief that the effect of the proposed increase of duty on tin plates wonld be (as had been the case with all other protected indnstries) eventu ally to reduce the price to consumers. Mr. Plumb repeated the word "eventually" as if it was too indefinite. Mr. Teller" said that he was willing to put the time at a year. A KICK FEOM KANSAS. Mr. Plnmb had no doubt that in time or "eventually" if the manufacture of tin plates were entered upon in this country one of the results wonld be to reduce the price, but he did not find in the present situ ation any ground for a reasonable presump tion that even with the increased duty on tin plate) there would be in one year, or two years or five years or ten years enough tin plate made in the United States to meet the local demand. He was willing to "beg off" and ask those men who were now proposing to manufacture tin plate not to exercise the power wbicn they had got in the American Congress, and not to force an increase of dnty on all the tin ware used in the country, on every tin cup, on every tin plate and coffee pot, and on every yard of tin roofing in the United States, and instead of the increased dnty to take a bonnty of 1 cent a pound, or 2 cents if necessary. If they were reasonable men they ought to be willing to do that. He knew that when bonnty was given in a tariff bill Congress was entering on a sea that had no shore, but it was already in the bill on the sugar schedule. THE NEW SENATOR. Mr. Carlisle presented a letter received by him to-day from Charles W. Potts, of Philadelphia, a large consumer of tin plate, to the effect that he had applied to all the rolling mills in the vicinity of Pittsburg for a price on a thickness of steel plate out of which canning tin plate is made, and that all except one Btated that they could not make steel plates as thin as required, and that the one firm that could make them asked X cents a pound for them (untinned), while the present selling price of tin plate dnty, freight, eta, included is only 4.22 cents a pound. Mr. Aldrich accounted for that on the ground that as there was no demand in this conntry for steel plate of such extreme thin ness there was no plant for rolling them; but he. predicted that if the dnty on tin plates was increased all the rolling mills would in a very short time be provided with the requisite plant Mr. Bate addressed the Senate in a gen eral review and condemnation of the bill, TWO REPUBLICAN BOLTEES. After further debate the vote was taken and Mr. Vest's amendment was rejected yeas, 26; nays, 30 Messrs. Davis and Plumb being the only Eepnblicans voting in the affirmative. Mr. Ingalls did not vote and Mr. Paddock voted in the negative. Mr. Plumb offered the amendment of which he had given notice to strike out the clanse imposing a dnty of 2 2-10 cents a pound on tin plate (reserving the other part of the proposition as to bounty), bnt finally withdrew it and offered another, making the dnty on tin plate 1 cent a pound and providing a bonnty ol 1 cent a pound on tin plate mannfactnredin the United States. Without action on the amendment the Senate adjourned. ' SECRECY AS TO 6H7VEE. The Director of the Mint Defends the Poller of the Administration.

MAINE MEN AT WAR. REED AND BOUTELLE AQAINST BLAINE AND MALE. An Appointment on the Board of Manngera of the Soldier Home Causing the Trouble A Seat In the Senate I Believed to be at Stake. iruuji jk btjltjt uiiuuDroiajXAT. al Washington, August 14. It will be remembered that a few days ago, when con sidering the conference report on the sundry civil bill, the Senate "hung npi a para graph which provided for the management of the National Soldiers' Homes and the new Board of Directors. A gentleman jnst arrived from Bar Harbor informs the cor respondent of The Dispatch that the battle gronnd over that clause of the bill is in that great political battle field, the State of Blaine and Tom Eeed. The House inserted as a member of the new board of management Colonel Farnham, now postmaster at Bangor, a brave and pop ular soldier, wonnded many times, able, and a friend of Eepresentative Boatelle and Speaker Eeed. In the Senate Colonel Farnham's nomination ran againstthe oppo sition of Senator Hale and Secretary Blaine, who desire the retention in the board of General Hyde, a present director, and a po litical friend of the distinguished gentlemen named. Colonel Stevenson, now superin tendent of the great Soldiers' Home at Tor pus, is in the same political faction, and feels that his tennre depends on the tenure of General Hyde. Naturally he is for Hyde, and he worked the Soldiers' Home for an indorsement of Hyde, which, The Dispatch's informant alleges, was some what spnrious in its alleged unanimity. The "fight grew hot and bitter. Every body, summer visitors, tourists of a day, and permanent citizens, range themselves on one side or the other, and Colouel Farn ham's wide personal popularity, and Gen eral Hyde's alleged unpopularity, is said to give the former a vast majority of the votes. General Hyde, through the support of Hale and Blaine, appears to be a very lneky man in his relations with the Government. Be sides his position as director he and others associated with him have contracts for building the hulls of tiro cruisers for the Government Thecontracts were let months ago, bnt all that yet appears of the cruisers is a few planks thrown on the ground. The quiet fight that is now going on between the Maine contingent in the House and Senate is very intense, and it is probable that what ever is done in the one body will be "cop pered" in the other. One of the purposes of Bontelle and Eeed in placing Farnham is to oust Hale from the Senate. DEFENDING HIS FIGURES. Porter Thinks that 64,000,000 of Popula tion Is Just About Right. IFBOU A STAFF COBBSSrOlTDEirT.l "Washington, August 14. Superin tendent Porter has been receiving a number of commnnicntions from all sections of the country complaining about the estimate of the entire population of the United States given out by him a few days ago, his figures being 64,000,000. Most of these letters are couched in snch a tone as to make it evident that the writers felt personally hurt at his putting the figures so low. They seemed to think that the estimates at least should have been high enongh to make the eagle shriek with pride even if the corrected figures did not come within a few- million of this patriotic statement. Mr. Porter, comment ing to-day upon these complaints remarked that he was not the only one to make the estimate 64,000,000. The man who knewmore about itthan any other man up to the time of his death, and the father of the law under which the pres ent census is working, the late Hon. S. S. Cox, had estimated the population at from 62,000,000 to 64,000,000, and had calculated the count upon that basis. Mr. Edward Atkinson, the celebrated statistician, had estimated that there were 64,476,000 people in this country, while Mr. Henry Elliott, the actuary of the Treasury, bad also sug gested 64,000,000 as about "the nnmber of people who would be found owing allegiance to the Stars and Stripes.

A cable was re ceived by the Catholic bishop here to-day from Paris stating that 12 Capuchin Fathers will shortly .leave France for Canada to establish a monastery in Ottawa. In the 'United States they have houses at varions points, and the Archbishop of Halifax is a member of the order. Inquiry at the Arch bishop's palace, where twoof the Capuchin monks are now gnests, elicited the fact that the establishment of a monastery of the Capuchin order in this vicinity was bronght about by the new military law recently passed in France. According to it, all the clergymen np to the age of 3d must serve a term in the army, and it is to escape this the reverend fathers emigrated. In compliance with regulations of the order priests dress in a coarse brown habit, wearing neither boots, stock ings or hat in any weather.

The Manchester Courier to-day contains the following editorial: "In consequence of the fierce persecution of the Chnrch, which is the policy of Crispi, and includes the suppres sion and annihilation of the few remaining religious houses, the closing of 42 churches, the abolition of religious instruction and ministration in schools, hospitals and prisons, the Pope will soon issue a mani festo to the Eoman Catholics throughout the world giving his intention of leaving Borne, together with 'his court and all his adherents. From a practical point of view this means ruin to Borne, for with the pontiff will go the cardinals, the prelates and a vast num ber of person? who annually come to Eome as pilgrims. In fact commercial rnin stares innkeepers and shopkeepers in the face. Still it is impossible for any earnest Christian even now to live in Eome, which is fast becoming the headquarters of atheism and free thought The shop windows are full of shooting caricatures of the Deity, license is allowed for blasphemy, and its indecency has never been surpassed in his tory, even during the French year of 1793."

They burned the skull and a portion ol the back, and ex ploded the sinuses of the brain. No doubt they were fortunate enough to render the man senseless at the first blow, just as they would have done if they had struck him on the head and hack with a red hot hammer, but there was found no mark of the electri cal current in or through the viscera of the body. The man was killed by concussion of the brain ana explosion within the closed cavity of the skull, just as a man may be killed by apoplexy or snnstroke. EEOAEDED AS1 AN INTBUDEB.

A POETESS OF PASSION Has Decided to Settle Down to an Ordi nary Domestic Existence. IBTJtCIAI. TZLSOKAX TO TUB D1SPATCH.1 Boston, August 14. Miss Lida Lewis "Watson, who delights, in being called the New England poetess of passion, and Mr. Francis W. Higgins, recently of St Lonis, were nnited in marriage to-day. Several false announcements of the wedding have been made, but to-day the nuptials were quietly solemnized at the Holy Cross Ca thedral. No one was present but the mem bers of the bride's family. The ceremony was performed by Eev. Mr. Boland, of the cathedral, who also celebrated the nuptial mass. The bride who is tall, dark-haired, blue-eyed and stately looking, was most be comingly attired in a white frost plush wed ding robe with full court train. The dress was of original design, a modification of a Spanish idea of far away date. Mr. Higgins, the groom, is a Southerner. He served with distinction in the Confeder ate army, and after the war went "West finally engaging in lucrative mining schemes, principally in the Black Hills country. Mr. Higgins, who has a dash of the romantic in his makeup, conceived a very pretty idea in regard to the wedding ring. Instead of purchasing a ring in the conventional way from some jeweler, he himself mined the quartz, "panned it out" with his own -hands, had it smelted under his own eyes and took it to a jeweler and had it made it into the heavy gold band, which his wife now) wears on her marriage finger.

At Chambersburg last evening a colored politician questioned Candidate Delamater concerning the Emery charges. The Craw ford Senator entered his emphatic denial to each and every one of them. He also ex pressed a wish to avoid personalities in the campaign. i ISFSCTAL TELIOBAM TO TBS SISrATCB.! Chambersbubg, August 14. A large audience gathered in the Court House this evening to meet Senator Delamater. "W, U, Brewer, Esq., welcomed him, and he made a brief speech. "When he had con cluded Thomas L. "White, a leading colored Eepnblican citizen, arose and asked the Gubernatorial candidate how he explained the charges made against him by Senator Emery. To this Mr. Delamater replied: On April 4 last, during my candidacy for the nomination, ex-Senator Lewis Emery, Jr., made certain charges respecting my honor as a citizen and Senator. Until now I have re frained from making public reply. Prior to my nomination I claimed the right to make my own contest in my own way, and was content to rely for my vindication upon my life-long cnaracter and reputation, built up in a very active professional and business career In Northwestern Pennsylvania. The enthusiastic and unanimous indorsement of my own county, the cordial support of a majority of the dele gates elected from the conntry counties, the exceptionally strong indorsement by citizens and business men of Philadelphia and, finally, my nomination by tne Harrisbnrg Convention, all in the face of these undented charges had seemed to me sufficient answer. The question now addressed to mo implies that continned silence on my part maybemis- interpreted by certain good citizens whose gooa citizens w Republican party. affiliations are with the Republican party. As the candidate of that party, I cannot allow Its interests to be prejudiced in tne estimation of any citizen by a refusal to answer any inquiry touching my personal and official Integrity, and I take this occasion to enter my most posi tive, emphatic and unequivocal denial of each and every charge preferred by Senator Emery.

Niagara Falls, August 14. At about 11 o'clock this morning a report was circu lated here that a man had been seen going over the Horseshoe Falls clinging to a com mon rowboat Upon inquiry it was learned that Thomas Glynn, a hackman, was driv ing a party of visitors along the south shore of Goat Island, when a man was seen row ing toward the Canadian shore above the Canadian rapids. The party watched him for a few minutes and saw him swept into the rapids. The boat was soon npset and passed over the falls and the man disap peared. A message was sent from Chippawa, a village above the Horseshoe Falls, on the Canadian side, asking if anyone had been seen going ont into the river in a boat or was missing. A reply was received saying that a man named Fleck, who had been down on Dufferin Islands, had reported see ing two men out in the river, some distance from the shore and immediately above the rapids. They were struggling desperately to gain the shore, but their boat had drifted into the swift current and their efforts were useless. Suddenly one of toe men leaped overboard and attempted to swim to the shore, but was carried down into the rapids and swept over the falls. The other clnng to the boat and was also swept over the falls. Who the men were and where they got the boat no one knows, as so boats are missing at Port Day on the American side or at Chippawa. The occurrence was reported to the police, whoare keeping the lookout for the bodies below the falls. WEDDED IN THE RING.

Bauman, formerly a resident ot Ephrata, Lancaster connty, but recenely employed, as a driver by the Beading Transfer Company. The regnlar performance had jnst been com pleted when, with the consent of the man agement, the bridal party entered the ring, stepping to the mnsic of Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" played to order by the cirens band.

The Investigating Committee appointed by the several conn ties in this Congressional district got'to gether at the Lowrey Honse at 8 o'clock this evening.

A motion to make these offici.' lanent having failed, a roll of the co v men was prepared. Sam Mil ler thev fated Senator McCracken, of New Ca , tor permanent chairman, and Dr. McConnell, of New Brighton, named Mr. Thomas. EQUAL DIVISION OF STRENGTH. The result was a tie vote, Beaver and But ler voting together for Thomas, and Law rence and Mercer casting their votes for McCracken, with the exception that the candidates, through courtesy, voted for each other. A motion to continue the temporary offices during the present session prevailed after much quibbling, and the meeting was ready for business. The first thing that came np was a motion requesting one member of each delegation to state his connty's attitude in the conference. Mr. Marshall, ot Beaver, stated that hiss connty had treated the bribery as admitted, and had repudiated the nomination. How ever, after subsequent consultation he and his colleagues had decided to join with the other counties in the investigation. Mr. Carson, representing Butler, read the resolntions adopted by this County Commit tee, and stated that they expressed their attitude very clearly, the chief point being that if bribery had been com mitted the nomination was invalid. Eev. Mr. Wonders, of Lawrence, said his commit tee had instructions to investigate the al leged bribery and report their findings to their County Committee. POSITION OF MERCER. Sam Miller, speaking or Mercer, said hi county had indorsed McDowell, bnt had appointed a committee of investigation to meet and co-operate with like committee! from other counties. This done, the mode of procedure was brought up. Mercer and Lawrence wera asked to indicate what they wanted to in vestigate, the other counties being pretty well satisfied as to how the nomination was bronght about, but they de clined. Colonel Sullivan, of Bnt ler, who opened the subject, and for the further purpose of ascertaining what scope should be given to the inquiry, moved that if the nomination for Congress in this dis trict was effected by bribery it is invalid. This seemed to stir up a hornet's nest 'Amendments came thick and fast for the purpose of preventing a vote on the resolu tion. Eev. Mr. Wonders thought it was an attempt to pnt hu side in a hole, and did not want to decide the question then. TRYINO TO KILL TIME. When all the amendments had been laid to rest, there were-motions to adjourn. Sam Miller, in order to kill time, appealed twice from the decision of the Chair, at the same time declaring that they would stay there all night rather than a vote should be taken on the Question. Alter some filibustering a motion to take a recess till 8:45 o'clock to-morrow morning was passed, with Sullivan's motion still un disposed ot. The opening session does not angnr well for a harmonious meeting or the attainment of any result with which all will be satisfied. (XOAKMAEERS CO-OPERATING. The Beginning of a System for Which Thsy Long Have Hoped. J8PECTAI. TELIOKAJI TO THE DI8PATCTI.1 . New York, August 14. The cloak makers opened their first co-operative shop. It was a great event among these people. It has always been the aim of the Cloak makers' Union to reduce the cloak and suit industry to a system of co-operation, toward which the first step is the abolition of the contract or "sweating" system. The cloak makers have entertained this idea for a long; time, bnt it was only during the recent strike that it took practical shape. When all tho plans had been discussed and submitted to them of experience, 0 of the best workmen were selected to make the first experiment Each man contributed $3 to a common fund to defray current expenses and furnish a guarantee to the manufacturers in case any garments were spoiled. Arrangements had been made with a sewing machine company to place 20 tailors' machines in the shop, which are to be paid for on the installment plan. A part of the capital of the enterprise had been invested in findings needed to make cloaks. During the week Foreman Aerber had been going around among the manufacturers soliciting work, with the result that when the men re ported at 8 o'clock this morning they found 400 bundles of cnt cloth waiting to be mad into cloaks. Everything went smoothly. He Has Eight Wives Living. Des Moines, Angust 14.
