WASHINGTON May 3l.-In the Senate to-
day, Cameron, of Wisconsin, fayorably re-
ported the bill for public building at Ciarks-
burg, W. Va. 1t will probably pass at the
present session, as it has heretofore been
favorably considered, and the showing
made BY Senator Davis and Col. Wilson is
such as commend it to members.
Among the patents issued this week,
West Virginia genius has been recognized
as follows:
|, To Wilbur y. Berry, Of aartinsbars, tcr
door hanger.
To Edward ]. Taylor, of Frankfort, for
traction engine.
West Virginia pOstmasters have been
commissioned as follows: James Patterson
at Grape Island, and Edwin Swisher at
Berlin.
Mr.. Kelly still talks about the consider
alton OF his internal revenue bill soon. He
says it was the understanding originally
that he was to call it up first after the elec-
ton case, but now he thinks he may have
to let in an appropriation bill first.
Inquiry in other quarters indicates that
the Committee on Business and Mr.. Kelley
are not quite in accord as to the course OF
proceedings. Instead of taking ap the In
ternal Revenue bill the programme now is
to go right Oh with the Bisbee-Finley case
and then the Lowe-Wheeler contest.
The chances for consideration Of Mr.. Kel-
ley's measure do not look the brightest,
therefore, although he does not seem to
think the Safety Committee will antagonize
his bill when he desires to call it up. G.

PITTSBURGH, May Sl.-The mining situa-
ton presents no new Developments this
morning further than the arrival OF twen-
ty.fve Immigrant miners at the Patterson
slope on the CHARTERS Valley railroad last
evening. A representative Of the striking
fraternity who was seen at the general OF.
fee this morning said that the new men
will not prove successful, and their ignor-
ance of coal mining will cause their EN-.
ployers considerable loss. A correspondent
AZ Montour says that some uneasiness is felt
at the Imperial and Beech Cliff mines, as it
is thought that the men there employed
may come out again. At these places all
the old miners are at work, except a few
of the leading strikers who were not per-
mitted to resume operations. The opera
tors are taking matters quite calmly and
as one of them said this morning. If the
iron troubles continue We won't need min
ers of any color"

At Philadelphia.

Special DfSpdtch 10 the RegtSter.
PHILADELPHIA, May 31.-The strike at
Pittsburg and elsewhere will not have any
effect here. The men in all the Philadel-
phia rolling mills have signed an agreement
to work at five per cent. reduction after
June 1st, and are satisfied, it is said, to
stand by the agreement, believing that they
must bear their share of the reduction that
has taken place in the selling price of man
ufactured iron. 1t is acknowledged, how
ever, that il the Pittsburg strike should be
of long duration it will involve a heavy
drain upon members of the Amalgamated
Association here and in other places In
the Amalgamated Association government
of the United States and Canadas are
divided into eight districts. In each
district the employees in every
furnace or rolling mill that
is large enough to form lodge among
themselves, and if not large enough the
employers Of two or three establishments
constitute a lodge. Whenever a strike is
authorized or indorsed by the Executive
Committee of district, the whole Associa,
tion all over the States is committed to
support the strikers and every member is
assessed according to his wages. In excep.
tional cases drafts are made upon the ac-
cumulated funds of district organizations
and the general treasury. Such course, it
is said, will be taken in case the Pittsburgh
strikers have long lockout The usual
weekly dues range from twenty-five cents
to one dollar and the customary assessment
is from one dollar to two dollars a man. In
a district organization numbering many
thousands the assessment reaches a very
large sum per week. .

Make Minority Report.
GENERAL AND SPECIAL NEWS NOTES.

WASHINGTON; May 3i.-The vote in the
Senate Military committee to-day, on the
question of favorably reporting Sewelrs
bill for the relief of Gen. Fitz John Porter
was as follows: Ayes-Sewell, Cockrell,
Maxey, Grover and Hampton. Noes-Lo-
gan, Cameron, of Pennsylvania. Harrison
and Hawley were absent. Came
ron is known to agree with
the conclusion of the majority of the
committees, Logan expects bis minority
report viii be approved by Hzwicy and
Harrison, and says General Hawley has in.
formed him he is in accord with its main
proposition.
The majority report, which accompanies
a bill for the relief of Fitz John Porter,
recites the history of the case, the court
martial and subsequent board of review,
and all alludes to the memorial Of
General Porter, heretofore published,
which is made part OF the report, and
concludes as follows: "The action of Presi.
dent Arthur in remitting the unexpired
portion of the sentence Of General Porter
is based upon a review OF the findings Of
the board, relieves the present application
of General Porter for restoration
to the army from the objection that
Congress would be revising the sentence OF
the court martial. Such is not now the
case. So much of the sentence as the Pres.
ident had power to act upon, having been
by him remitted, it now remains for Con-
gress to perform that act of justice which
the report of the Board emphatically re-
commends in the following language:
Having thus given the reason for our
conclusion, we have the honor to report in
accordance with the Presidents order, that
in our opinion justice requires at his hands
such action as may be necessary to annul
and set aside the findings and sentence OF
the case of FitS John Porter, and to re.
store him to the position of
which that sentence deprived him;
such restoration to take effect from the
date of his dismissal from service.
1.-The committee are of the opinion that
the report of said board, exhausted the
subject, and that Fitz John Porter should
be, as recommended by said board re-
stored to the service and report bill for
that purpose"
Sewell's bill authorizes the appointment
of Fitz John Porter to the position OF Colo.
mel in the army, with the same grade and
rank held oy him at the time OF dismissal
from the army, provided he shall secure
no pay, compensation or allowance whatso-
ever for the time intervening between his
dismissal from service and his appointment
under this act.

ApIpdiapapo,is Failure.

ISpIANAPoLIs, May 31.-After midnight
last night, the announcement was made
that the banking firm of Wosten, Webb Il

creditors in full.
tSigned.l WosTEN, WEBB Co."
1t is stated by one of the firm that the

assets consist of real estate valued at S76,-
coo, and bills receivable, 5000 The fail
ure will not effect any of the other banks
in the city. Mr.. Wosten states that since
the failure Of the Central Bank their de-
posits have run down, and the firm con-
cluded to discontinue business, but in order
that all creditors should fare alike, made
an assignment of their property.

At Chicago.

CHICAGO, May 31.-There has been a new
development in the industrial situation
since the adjournment of the conference
between the manufacturers and the repre-
sentatives of this district of the Amalga-
mated Association. The principal officers
ofthe Association have been trying to de-
wise some means of averting general
strike, which threatened 10 do the iron in
terests of the city great injury, and yester-
day it was announced by A. 7. Carpenter,
District President, that the men have de-
cided not to inaugurated strike on June
as was originally intended, but will post
pone action for two weeks at least,
and in the mean time an attempt will be
made to have a conference between an
equal number of representatives of en-
ployers and employees from all the iron
working districts of the country, as con-
templated in the resolution passed by the
conference yesterday. The object of this
national conference will be to arrange a
series of scales which shall give equal
wages in all sections, and provide for all
local peculiarities. The scheme meets
with general favor among the men here.
and may yet furnish the solution for the
labor troubles all over the country.

MILWAUKEE, May 31.-The men employ.
ed at the North Chicago Rolling Mill COM
pany at Bay View, three miles from here,
numbering 2, 300 men, quit work tonight.
Previous to the present agitation workmen
here were generally satisfied with their pay
and surroundings, and it is but just to say
that, were it NOT that they feel compelled
to take sides with their brethren in this
matter, the Bay View men would not have
thought of strike. The closing OF the
mills will prove great calamity to not
only the workingmen, but to the city as
well, this industry being one of the largest
in this vicinity. Of the 1900 men who will
quit work not more than one-half are
Union men, but those who are out of the
Union feel that they may as well join their
associates in the strike as to be obliged to
quit work, as they wonld have to do when
the mills closed.
