WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, May 8.-The Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs appointed
a subcommittee consisting of
Messrs. Wilson, King and Robson,
to consider the practicability Of en-
tering into additional treaty regu-
lations with Mexico.
The latest advices received at the
headquarters of the army from
Gen. Sheridan, with regard to
affairs in the Indian Territory, are
to the effect that all the necessary
dispositions of troops have been
made for the prevention of further
immigration into the Territory, and
for the removal of such unauthor-
lied settlers as may have already
crossed the frontier. The authors
ties here, however, are still appre-
hensive of trouble.
The House Committee on Educa-
ton and Labor to day had under
consideration the joint resolution
introduced by Mr.. Whitthorne,
authorizing the appointment of
a joint select committee to
inquire into the causes leading to
the colored exodus from the South,
but reached no conclusion.

ILLINOIS.

CHICAGO, May 8.-The Socialist
leaders here assert that they, with
the Trades Unions, are organizing a
strike to begin July 5th, and to be
general throughout the country.
They will demand a universal adop-
ton of the eight hour system, and
will settle the matter of wages after
that point is disposed of. This
strike has been decided upon in
their private counsels, but it is no
secret that their proposition is
political in its nature, and the
purpose of the workmen is to
secure better wages.
The committee of medical ex-
perts, having examined Mark Gray,
who shot at Edwin Booth, report
that he is insane.
Mrs. Henry Lightner, of Peoria,
in leaving the elevator of the Ire
mont House last evening, slipped
and fell back, and her head, coming
between the floor and the descend
ing arch of the elevator, was
crushed so terribly that she died al
most instantly.

CANADA.

WINNIPEG, MANITOBA, May s.
The Canada Pacific railway strike
still continues. A number of men
came in from the scene Of trouble
last night, they report that the
whole force of some 1900 men is
on a strike, but that no damage had
yet been done to property, nor
would be unless by few hotheads,
the majority of the workmen being
steady and industrious, they say
that if paid of, the strikers will
leave the, line, but they were un-
able to get their time from the fore
man.
A special dispatch to the daily
Times from Cross Lake gives a
different version of the affair. It
says the men are marching in pro-
cession, with the Union Jack and
the red flag of the Communists.
The superintendent Of the work,
Mr.. Charles Whitehead, met them
and asked their wants. They de-
manded two dollars per day for all
hands, and board at four dollars per
week and no doctors ices, the men
being charged fifty cents per month
each for medical attention, and they
threatened to prevent all work
until their demands were
complied with. Mr.. Whitehead
declined accepting the terms, but
offered all of those wishing to hire
a free ride to Winnepeg where they
would be paid off. The men, how,
ever, declined this. The Times
adds, that SO far all is quiet, as the
strik ers have not met any resistance,
but it is evident there are those
amongst them who are only anxious
to destroy property.

CALIFORNIA.

SAN Francisco, May 7, Mid
night.-Returns of the election, as
far as heard from, are a complete
surprise. The city, instead of
giving 10000, or thereabouts,
against the new Constitution, as was
generally expected, gives a majority
of less than 2, 900, with the returns
nearly complete. Returns from the
country are incomplete, but indi-
cate that, while Alameda, Sacra-
mento, Santa Clara and most of the
mining counties have gone against
the new Constitution nearly all
the agriculture counties have gone
heavily for it. As far as heard
from, the city and State vote now
stands $500 in favor of its adop~
ton, with a chance of that majority
being materially increased. A dis
turbance was feared in the city
during the evening, but the feeling
was soon quieted down, merely a
few fights occurring. The Work
ingmen are jubilant over what they
consider their own particular vic
tOrV.

WASHINGTON, May s

WASHINGTON, May 8.
The Senate resumed the consid-
alton of the House bill prohibiting
military interference at elections.
Mr.. Morgan, of Alabama, advocated
its passage, arguing that the trainers
of the Constitution, with a view to
the preservation of public liberty,
drew a broad distinction between
the regular army and the militia,
and that the latter should be en-
ployed to enforce the laws.
Mr.. Morgan spoke for three
hours and a half. Mr.. Edmunds
will speak tomorrow,
HOUSE.
The bill to enforce the eight hour
law was taken up as the business of
the morning hour. Mr., Kelly, Of
Pennsylvania, argued that so long
as that law was unrepealed every
working man in the Government
employment who was forced to work
ten hours for day wages was de-
frauded of his legal rights. But the
condition of things since the pass
sage of that law had changed
greatly. Now capital could not
find safe and profitable employment
in productive industries and labor
was starving. The condition of the
world in that respect was pitiable.
If the theory that this was due to
over-production was true (Which he
denied) then in Gods name let
over-production be stopped.
After short debate, the bill for
the enforcement of the eight hour
law was laid upon the table by
vote of 1O3 to 81. A vote is now
being taken by the yeas and nays
on a motion to lay on the table the
motion to reconsider the vote by
which the bill was laid on the table.
The motion to reconsider the vote
respecting the eight hours law was
laid on the table by vote of 127 to
81, thus efectually killing the bill.
The House then resumed considera-
ton of the bill to amend the laws
relating to coinage and coin and
bullion certificates, which was dis
cussed at great length. The House
adjourned without action on the bill.

NEW YORK.

New YORK, May 8.-A special
concerning Paroles victory this
morning says: Parole was last in
the first turn round, then arousing
himself ran through the competing
horses like a fash of lightning.
Other jockeys looked at the per-
formance in perfect stupefaction,
almost as if they had a phantom
horse in their ranks. The applause
for the American horse was immense
as he came in on canter past the
winning chair.
The Grand Jury dismissed the
complaint of Lemuel Williams, coll
ored, against Clifton A. E. Merritt,
cashier of the Metropolitan Hotel
for the larceny of Ia fifty dollar bill.

ground below. She was wild with
grief. As she reached the window
she was caught by Cox, who held
her fast. She threw her arms
around his neck and clung to him
wildly exclaiming. ooh, my God!
Oh, my poor darling p Her shrieks
were heartrending and the
occupants of the crowded
court room could not restrain their
tears of pity. Cox used his power
to calm her, and finally soothed her
grief until only her deep means
broke upon the solemn stiffness.
Judge HilIyer senterced Cox to "be
confined in the penitentiary, or
such other place as the Governor
may direct, at hard labor for and
during his natural life." Gen.
Gartrell gave notice that the de-
tense would make a motion for new
trial, and praying writ of superse-
deas. The execution of the sens
tence was therefore stayed twenty
days.
This penalty is virtually the ex~
treme of the law in this State, as
a law passed, with Alston's aid, at
the last session of the Legislature
giving juries the right to recon-
mend the life Imprisonment in all
cases of murder, as they see fit,
in effect abolishes the death penalty.
Cox is the first man convicted of
murder who receives the benefit of
that law. The verdict is received
with general approval.
