All Fears OF the Want or Quorum DIS
peIsed The Adjournment Question.
Especial to the REcoRp-UNoN.
WASHINGTON. May 3ist.-All fears of the
business of the House being stopped for want
of quorum during the time of holding the
Chicago Convention were dispelled to-day.
The sundry civil appropriation bill was taken
up about room for revision of the work of
the COMMITTEES of the Whole, and on the first
roll-call ITO members voted, being % more
than quorum. The bill was finally passed
without any change in the Pacific coast items
heretofore reported. The action of the Com
mittee of the Whole in adopting Delegate
Downey's amendment-to require the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to pay out all the money
appropriatedb by this bill-nearly S74, 900, COO
in silver coin, was ratified by the House by
vote of nearly two to one. Secretary Thomp-
son has to-day written letter to the Senate
Committee on Appropriations, strongly
recommending an increase of the item in this
bill for the Mare Island dry dock from S75,-
900 to S150,000. The Senate will very
probably act favorably upon this recon-
mendation.
The date now generally assigned among
the Democratic leaders for final adjourn
ment is the 18th of June, but although the
probabilities still seem to favor an adjourn
ment before the assemblage of the Cincin-
natl Convention, many well informed mem
barc nf both bppSas r,radsct &ha Will
remain in session until about July 4th.
The Miners strike at Leadviue.
DENVER tCol), May 3lst.-The Repu6li-.
cans Leadville special says: The strike is at
an end. On Saturday the managers of the
Chrysolite and Little Chief mines notified the
strikers that they would resume operations
in their mines on Monday. Fears of vio-
lence were entertained, and both mines were
put in state of perfect defense, with the in
tention of protecting the property to the last
extremity. Several secret meetings were
held by the strikers Saturday evening, and
as nothing could be learned of the proceed
ings there was the greatest excitement, and
the managers notified the county authorities
that the county would be held responsible for
any damage to the property. At a meeting
of the County Commissioners Saturday, it
was determined to take prudential steps, and
accordingly on Sunday morning Sheriff
Tucker issued a proclamation, calling upon
all able. bodied citizens to be ready to assem-
BILE with arms on bugle call. The managers
at the principal mines put the question to
Mooney, the chief striker, as to whether his
men proposed TO attack the men who went to
work at the old rate. He replied no, that an
attack had never been seriously contemplated,
and that he would assist in arresting the dis
turbers. This statement was put in writing
apA c.npa1 hu hoopau and hiS
ant. Baker.
Work was resumed on the Little Chief and
Chrysolite this morning, both mines having
all the men they cen work. 1t is charged by
many non-striking miners that the strike was
inaugurated by Mooney for the purpose of
blackmail, and that he received $500 for
backing down.
