WORK BEEORE HOUSE AND SENATE Business of the Senate Depends Eo tircly on Headway Made witli Con- ferrnre Kcporl--The Course of Proceedings, Therefore, Somewhat lucrrtnin. Washington. June 7. T'nless all signs fail congress will adjourn this week, and those In touch with the busi ness of both houses appear to agree that that result moy be secured by Wednesday. Still, conditions are such that a hitch might occur at any mo ment, which would protract the session for another week. This, however, while a possible contingency. Is not expected. The business of the senate depends entirely upon the headway made with conference reports. Several of the ap propriation bills are still to be disposed of, as follows: Indian bill, upon which the house re fused to act favorably on the confer ence agreed to In the senate; the post ofllce bill, the report of which was agreed to In the house Saturday and will be accepted by the senate tomor row; the navul bill, which will doubtless be disposed of speedily tomorrow morn ing, as the conferees have already for mulated a compromise which Ihey be lieve will be acceptable to both houses; the sundry civil bill, upon which the house and senate seem to be deadlocked over the appropriations for public buildings Inserted by the senate, and the district bill. numerous items of which are still In dispute. It Is confidently expected, however, that all of .nese will be out of the way within the next forty-eight hours. The new deficiency bill, which passed the house Saturday, will be rushed through the-senate tomorrow with all possible speed. It being the Intention of the committee to move to lay on the table any amendments thnt may be of fered so that the bill will pass as it crimes from the house. This motion to lay on the table is the only method the senate has. under Its rules, to cut all debate and It will be appealed to liberal ly when this measure comes up. UNFINISHED BUSINESS. The immigration bill Is the unfinished business and Mr. Lodge will call It up tomorrow for consideration If any open ing presents Itself. Mr. Hill, who Is in charge of the contempt of court bill, a piece of legislation growing out of the Deber case, is also anxious for consid eration, and may lock horns with Mr. Lodge for the right of way. Mr. dear will seek to tlx a day during the next serston when the Pacific, railroad re funding acts shall be taken up. In this way he may succeed, as both friends and opponents believe that this subject shall lie settled one way or the other. Most all of these and other matters that may come before the senate will tend to make the next few days exceed ingly busy ones, and If Mr. Allison, chairman of the committee on appro priations, carries out his previously ex pressed intention of not reporting the adjournment resolution until all the ap propriation blllls have gone to the presi dent, there may be ample time to dis cuss several things upon which senators desire to speak. The course of business Is, therefore, uncertain, and a forecast Is largely conjectural. IN THK HOl'SR. The house will devote Itself for the re mainder of the session' Tn-dUipOfdng of conference reports, contested election cases, and of other business under sus pension of the rules. It will meet for an hour tomorrow morning In contin uation of Saturday's session, in order to enable member to move the passage of bills under suspension in accord ance with the terms of the order of Fri day last. There are two election eases on the ralendnr. both of which will be vigor ously contested on the lloor T. W. Al- drlch (Hep.) vs. uccar W. Underwood (Dem.) from the Nlhth'"Aluboma dis trict, where the committee recommend the seuting of Aldtich, and Jacob Yost (Rep.) vh II. Ueorge Tucker (Dem.) from the Tenth Virginia disirict wiiere the committee recommend that Tucker retain his seat. Another case that of IT. T. Hopkins (Rep.) vs. Jusc'ih M. Kendall (Dem.) from the Tenth Ken tucky district has not yet been report ed from the committee. These are all that remain of the 33 contests filed with the clerk of the house. Speaker Reed Is exceedingly anxious' that tne docket should be entirely cleared be fore the house adjourns, and hopes to be able to accomplish It. It has not been deflnately decided what to. do with the senate bond bill reported adversely by the committee on ways and means. The leaders of the house think It should be disposed of and a vote Is -probable, although there Is much opposition to action at this session. MAGOWAN HAS RETURNED Left Mr?. Barnes In Philadelphia and Refused to Tell Whether He Had or Had Not Married Her. Trenton, N. J., June 7. Frank A. Ma gowan returned to Trenton yesterday morning, but Mrs. John A. Barnes was not with him. The preparations Indi cated that It was expected Mrs. Barnes would come with him, for the new team and English coachman were at the sta tion, and also another carrlnge. He ar rived at 11 o'clock, on an express train from Philadelphia, and tarried on the lower platform for several minutes, un til the other passengers reached the street. He had every appearance of be ing nervous and excited, He was driven to his new residence, In North Clinton avenue. As he drove by Mrs. Magowan's home his former wife and daughter, Emily, were seated on the porch. Magowan made an attempt to speak to them, but they only responded with a stare. Ma gowan's son and namesake was riding a bicycle, and as he passed his father as he was alighting, to go Into the Bide door of the house. , His father did not notice htm, 'V;'-r' . ' - j, He was asked whether he and Mrs. Barnes were married, but he refused to give an answer. He made a general denial of all the reports concerning him. He even de nied that his residence was for sale, in the face of the published sheriff's no tices to that effect In the local papers. He declared that he owes no one, and that he Is being persecuted by his po litical enemies, and predicted that ne would yet triumph over those who were plotting against him and trying to ruin him. It Is generally believed that the pub lished nccunts in the morning papers about the bitter feeling existing here had the effect of causing a change In his programme, and that Mrs. Barnes de cided to remain in Philadelphia until the indignation should subside somewhat. It is known thnt he Intended to bring her here, because the carriage that he purchased for her was at the station and preparations had been made by the chef for a complete service on the part of all the servants. TIMES STRAW BALLOTS. Result; of the Inquiries Regarding GolJ and Sil.er Sentiments Among Demo crats Throughout the Country. New York. June 7. The New York Tinits will print tomorrow morning tele graphic answers from Its correspond ents in all states where silver delegates have been elected to the following ques tion: "If the silver Democrats control the Chicago convention, what candidates for the Democratic nomination for pres ident and vice-president would be fa vored by the silver Democrats and dele gates of your state?" In commenting upon Its replies, the Times will say: "Gossip on presidential candidates, two months ago, was almost confined to the bitter contest In the Republican party between MeKlnley and his many opponents. The Democratic party was attracting much attention but not on Its candidates as It .was agreed that the contest In that party should centre on the financial question and considera tion Bhould bo given to men after it had been settled whether the party would Bupport free silver of the gold standard. "The replies from the correspondents of the Times show but little of a spirit of compromise among the sliver men of the west and south. They apparently enre more for Populist support than for the support of eastern gold Democrats. The general sentiment among them Is favorable to some man who has shown by bis pnst record that he Is for free silver. Therefore Campbell', Stevenson, Matthews and Morrison have very little following and sentiment Is centering upon the extremists. "Governor Boles, of Iowa, seems to be the favorite silver candidate. In the states where opinion lias been formed he apparently lends all the rest in strength. Next to Boles, Bland seems to have the greatest strength. "Sentiment for a vlce-presldentinl candidate has not been aroused. Sen ator Daniel, of Virginia, Is the first candidate In the Held but speculation takes In all presidential possibilities."

Chicago, June 7. There was a confer ence of the gold standard Democrats from all parts of Illinois yesterday to debate the advisability of holding a "boiling" state convention. A score of prominent men, many of them bankers and federal office holdeis, were pn sent. Kx-Congressman Forman, of St. Louis, the political lieutenant of Col. William H. Morrison, made a strongly protesting speech ngRinst the bolting Idea which originated with the Cook county faction and thnt the rndical polilcal step be deferred until after the Peoria state and Chicago national convention of the party has passed into history. It was practically agreed to send a contesting delegation to Chicago In July so as to be prepared to have them seated In the majority in the convention Is favorable. Speaking for the gold Democrats of Illinois and placing patriotism before party In their estimation, the conference agreed that If the Republican platform declares for gold and the Democratic platform for silver, the gold Democrats will vote for the Republican ticket. If the Republican money plank Is not satisfactory the gold Democrats will name an Independent candidate, appeil Ing to all citizens of their sentiment to support It. While they will not "bolt" the regular ticket unless compelled to they decided to organize "honest money" clubs at once In every county of Illinois so as to be prepared to bolt and a permanent organisation wns ef fected with Chorles A.

Ry common con sent the advance guards of the several presidential booms made this a day of rest from the arduous tasks Imposed by politics. At the hotels the gentlemen were "out" to all callers. The matter of accommodating the negro delegates at the how's has begun to assume troublesome Importance. The Business Men's league, desiring to carry out every promise made in securing the convention, felt called upon Inst night to issue a general circular asking that all public places of amusement, at least for convention week, accord to the reput able colored men who will come here representing their section and their peo ple In the Republican party such treat ment as any reputable and respectable person would receive. A number of en terprising local negroes have rented an old club house and fitted It up to enter tain the colored delegates. Last evening tile Hon. R. C. Keren's, Missouri's national committeeman, and ex-Congressman Frank, left the city to gether for Canton, O.

The Quay or "Reform" party, how ever, mn In tain that their candidate for judge and county controller, Messrs. William H. Rodgers and James A. Grier, have been nominated. A novel feature of the election was the casting of ballots to Indicate the preference of the electors In the matter of candidates for the presidency. The Quay people generally Ignored this issue and refrained from placing tickets at the pells from voting on the question, and the result wns that the returns were overwhelmingly In favor of McKinley, In Allegheny, where the Quay faction showed the greatest strength, out of 20, 000 votes estimated polled, only about COO were cast for presidential preference, most of them being for McKinley. Messrs. Dalzell und Stone were re nominated for congress without opposi tion. PITTSBURG SENGERFEST. Prcsidrnt Cleveland Will Press Rut ton nt White House to Open It. Pittsburg, Pn., June 7.

One of the worst trolley accidents occurring In this city for a long time took place this af ternoon on the steep grade running along .13th street from Second to Sixth avenue. One boy, nged 12, whose Iden tity could not be ascertained, lost his life, and nearly a score of persons, most of them from New York, suffered more or less serious Injuries. About 4.40 o'clock car "ill of the ?,Pth street branch of the Nassau system started from the ferry at the foot of thnt street for Coney Island with 133 pas sengers on board. The car had pro reeded to within 00 feet of Sixth ave nue when the trolley suddenly slipped from the wire and before the fact could be realized the car started at nn alarm ing rate backwards toward' the ferry. The wildest excitement prevailed. Mo torman Charles White was powerless to check the speed of the now unman ageable runaway and do what he might from the rear platform. Conductor John Cochran could do nothing with the brake. After the accident the latter declared thnt one of the brake chains had snapped beneath the car as the momentum wus too great for such an. ununuul test. After a mad career of nearly four blocks the flying car left tho track with a terrific whirl and brought up against a telegraph pole and tho curb. In. striking the curb one of the forward wheels was smashed and the body of the car wns lvidly shattered. As the liberated car flew down 3!)th street the passengers began Jumping off to save themselves which accounts for the number of Injured. The youth who was killed fell or was pitched out slmuitancouuly with the crash against the curb. The left side of his head struck the sharp edge of the coping and was crushed almost to a Jelly. The most severely Injured are: Mary Evans, aged 45, Brooklyn, su: tallied Internal Injuries as well as fractured both legs and urmn. She will probably die. ISernnrd Leroy, nged 21, New York, breast and collar bone broken. Gardner Simon, nged l.r, ftow York, contusions of head and arms and body. The conductor and motorman were placed under arrest.

WILL MASSACRES BE REPEATED? The Cretans Liable to Suffer the Fate of Armeniaus. RUSSIA'S ACTION IS AWAITED I'uless Foreign Powers Interfere the Rebellious Inhabitants of the Island of Crete Will Probably Hecome Vic tims ol the llloodthirxty Turks. Berlin, June 7. The concert of the powers relative to tho situation In the island of Crete Is of much the same character as was the now exploded en tente of the powers In regard to Ar menia, and all semblance of unity of purpose Is certain to disappear upon the slightest approach to a collision of Interests. The Cologne dinette In an exhaustive article on the subject thor oughly lights up the situation, and the writer pointedly declares that Germany will take no direct part In events In the east, and merely desires thnt order shall be maintained and the stntus quo con tinued. The policy of Ucrmany upon this question, the writer adds. Is Identi cal with that of the other powers and above all that of Kussln. The Gazette In Its article which accompanies this communication gives no hint, however, to the drift of the char's policy, to which Germany Is alleged to be attached. The Vosslsche Zeltung, In an article on the same subject, asierts that Rus sia Is exerting a practical protectorate over the Turkish empire and will not, under any circumstances, allow any power to Interfere, nor will sne accede to anything tending towards a separa tion or dismemberment of thp sultan's dominions. Pursuing the subject, the paper says: "Will Russia so Influence the negotia tions of the powers as to cause delay, whirh will enable the Turkish troops in the island of Crete, which have now been Increased to 18,000 men. to over power the Cretans and repeat the Ar menian massacres?" GRECIAN FLEET MOBILIZED. The king of Greece and the Grecian ministry seem to rely upon the war ships which the powers have sent to Caneo nnd Rrllmo to intervene In the event of a massacre of the Cretans by the Turks, but nt the rame time the Ureeinn fleet Is being moolllzed and four Ironclads nnd a cruiser l.lth fifteen tor pedo boats are ready to make their ap pearance in Cretan waters without the sanction of Russia If the unanimous voice of the Greek people shall compel the government to act. The Cretan delegates who are now at Athens have presented an appeal to the Greek gov ernment for a union of Crete with Greece, which was drawn up by nn as sembly of Cretan deputies which was held at Vamos on May 21. Ofliclal Information has been received here that the czar and czarina will come to Herlin about the middle of August and after completing their visit here proceed to Vienna: - Violent hurricanes, accompanied by rnln, have prevailed throughout Ger many within the last two days, causing great damage to property. The tele graph and telephone wires have been prostrated and communication by wire, particularly through the telephone. Is suspended. TROOPS FOR SOUDAN. English War Office Authorizes an Early Departure A Victory Over Natives at Akusheh. k London, June 7. The marquis of Lansdowno, secretary of state of war, has received a telegram dated Akasheh, June 7, evening, from Sir Herbert Kitchener, Sirdar of the Egyptian ar my, saying: "We surprised the enemy ot dawn nt Flrket. They resisted gallantly holding the hills and villages, but were com pletely defeated nnd their retreat cut off. We captured their camp and all their camels, horses, and provisions. Our ca'tiallties wire slight. The trojps behaved cxcelb ntiy." Tho unr office Iras ordered the heads of staff to prepare for the despatch of 5,700 troops at the end of August. Part of thes.e will go to Egypt, while the re mainder will lie' UK'd ti replace the drafts from Gibraltar and Malta, from which place troops now there will be sent to Join the Soudan expedition. The orders indicate that 8,5U0 lfrltish troops will take part in tlio expedition In September. The Indian contingent will then number nearly 4,0uO, making the combined strength of the Anglo Egyptian forces about 21,000 men. An advance on Dongol;:. would not re quire such an army. The objective point Is now believed to be Omdurmnn and Kassaln and the wiping out of the Muhdistft. If the plnnti are successful the Indian troops will move from Su nklm in July and occupy Erkowlt, thirty miles southwest of that place, on the road to Knssula, Here they will go into cantonment, which will be made the base of an advance on Kassala and Uerber. The negotiations between the British and Italian governments regarding Kassaln joint to a joint occupation early In the autumn. In assenting to aban don Karsala the Italian government re turns It nominally to Egypt. The Egyp tian treasury, under English guarantee, will pay Italy part of the sum expended In the defence of Kassnla against the dervishes. Italy needs the money, and can surrender her hold upon the place to advantage. A dispatch from Akasheh, the ad vanced post occupied by the Egyptian troops In tho Soudan, states that 1,000 Dervishes were killed In the fighting at and around Flrket, including their com mander. Emir Hammudn. The Egyp tian loss was 70 klhed and S2 wounded. No Action in Iliiiu.nond's Case. London, June 7.
