ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

day afternoon moved TO postpone the
pending order to take up the Knit Goods
bill. This was vigorously objected to on
the Democratic side, on the ground that
any action concerning taxation should be
general and not special.
Beck DEM protested against the mo-
ton, as ignoring the general relief proposed
by the Tax Reduction bin, in order that a
particular interest might be benefited by
an increase Of taxation.
Aldrich tRep.) asserted that the state
ment which had several times been re-
poated in debate, that the Republican side
had abandoned al efforts to legislate for a
reduction Of taxes, was entirely erroneous.
He hoped that the bill on that subject
would now be proceeded with.
Hawley rep pictured the d~eplorable
business position Of the knit goods manu-
facturers at this time, and asserted that
their condition was equally as pitiable and
appalling as that Of the sufferers from the
recent foods ana CONGREGATIONS in the
western section Of the country. Bank
ruptcy threatened them. To them the
question is not one Of free trade or pro-
lection, but Of mercy and humanity. The
pockets OF his people opened wide when
calamitIes befell the constituents Of other
members, and he appealed to those men,
beers not to raise tccuuItalities when some
Of the best people Of New England were
on the verge Of financial ruin from a
cause for which they are in no respect to
blame, but to agree that the Knit Goods

Morrill, ,Hep) modified his motion to
provide that the Tax Reduction bill be
taken up, and upon this being agreed to
without objection, yielded the floor TO
Williams DEM, who called up the bill
to prevent the spread Of pleuro-pneu-

Like HeaVers Against the Presi-
dents Veto.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-The exertions Of
Page in the House on Tuesday, to drum
up votes to override the Presidents veto
Of the River and Harbor bill, were warmly
seconded by Jones of Nevada, the Presi-
dents bosom friend, in the Senate. Mr..
Jones earnestly advised the President not
to veto the bill. He is reported to have
told the President that the veto of the
River and Harbor bill would certainly cost
the Republican party the Pacific States.
IAat section had large interests in the bill,
and 1t could not endure two vetoes zone of
them the veto Of the Chinese bilD in a sin
gle session of Congress without placing
the Democratic party in power. Jones is
also said to have informed the President
that to veto the River and Harbor bill,
for no other reason than in his (Arthur's)
Judgment Congress had exercised an I'M
wise discretion in the making of appro-
prIatlons for public works would be I'M
constitutional. The Senator from Nevada
was IN the chamber when the Senate met,
and he worked like q beaver to secure
votes and arrange pairs that would secure
q two-thirds majority for the bill.
= Damaging Witness for the Star
Routers.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-The defendants
in the Star Route cases are demoralized
over the result Of the testimony of their
witness, A. c. Buell., yesterday. Mutual
denominations are INDUCED in among the
defendants counsel. Bob Ingersoll, who
called the witness to the stand, has been
roundIy abused for so doing by his legal
associates, and to-day that unusually
genial gentleman walked to and fro in
front Of the Courthouse with an angry
Erown upon his face, only deigning to put
in an appearance when the afternoon
session began. The damaging character
Of Buell's testimony becomes more appar-
ent when considered with reference 10 the
previously introduced evidence. Walsh
swOre that Brady paid Buell. 81 900. Buell.
denies this and admits that Brady loaned
him $4,000. After admitting that he had
accepted a fee from Walsh while acting as
an officer Of tine Senate, he was confronted
with his card, in which he boldly declared
that whoever made such a charge lied.
Altogether, his testimony was a boomerang
for the thieves, and seems to have upset
their plan Of defense.
a Railroad Accident.
BELoIr KANSAS, Aug. 4.-This morn
ing the east-bound train on the Union
Pacific met with an accident. The engine,
mail and express cars went through the
B%nrliug Bridge. Engineer Bultoucroft
and c. NJ. MCGEE were badly bruised and
died before reaching this city.
Refused tn Remit in Fine.
S-PRINGFIELD Ill.l, Aug. 4.-Governor
Cullom refused to remit the 81, 600 fine
imposed OIL Edward Murphy by the Cook
County Criminal Court for ballot-box
frauds. He has served his year in the
penitenti.ry, and now asks for the remis-
sion OF the money penalty.
Diplomatic Re atoms with Persia.
