Filz John Porter Blil.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-The Fftz-John Porter bill is to come up in the Senate on Thursday. It is said that an understand ing has been reached whereby the Repub- Hcan Senators will not make any speeches in opposition to the bill, but will allow it to pass with simply their votes and pro- tests against it.
 Senator Logan is the only man who is known to entertain an idea of making a speech, and he will probably be as vigor- ous in his oppocition as heretofore.

mob 1asgerson ou Labor.

TOLEDO, June 3.-Mr. Robert G. Inger. soil. being interviewed on the labor uues- tion, said: ..The only benefit of the Knights of Labor to the workingmen arises from the discussions that take place. But in this country such organI zations cannot do great gool. The labor ing men should resress all their grievances by ballot. The poorest man can vote just us often as the rich man and his vote counts just as mnch. AS long as the laboring man follows the drum and fife Of a political party just so long he will have plenty of grievances. Let labor organize. not to boycott, not to strike. but to vote. His ballot is the weapon to be used. By legislation all minds can be made safe; hours of labor can be pro- tected from the deformities of tolls the truck system can be abolished. liens can be given on furnaces, mines railways etc., for the wages of workmen The workingman will find that without re- venge and without riot the world can be made better, and the capitalist will find that starvation prices for his laborers will finally starve him. He will find that property gets it's value from the coloniza- tion of the people, from general prosperity; that he cannot injure others without in- turing himself. believe that in few years public opinion will become so enlightened and humane that only those who give good wages for reasonable hours will be considered as honest men. My sympathies are with the workers. The millionna1res can take care of themselves

PoRTLANDs, IA; LAwRENeEs, 5.
Yesterdays game on the Portlands'
grounds was not particularly interesting.
The home club out played their opponents
and piled up runs so fast during the first
four innings that the result of the game was
soon foregone conclusion. The Portlands
batted Willis very freely and had two home
runs to their credit at the end of the game.
Wheelock made the first. He sent the ball
into a corner of the enclosure about as far
from home plate as it could fall without go
ing over the fence. Only one or two previous
home runs have been made on the grounds
with the ball inside the fence. Shelter made
the second home run in the third inning
sending the ball over the left field fence in
the most approved style. The Portlands did
geod work in their base running and this
with the numerous errors OF the visitors
helped along the run-gettlng. The hlgn
wind blowing across the diamond interfered
with both pitchers and Haley did not do his
usual work

R. J. LANES OPERATIONS.
The Arlington Banks Affairs APP
preaching Crisis.

The Boston Journal says Another meet
ing of the Directors Of the Abingdon Natior-
al Bank was held Wednesday, but no prog
ress was made toward a settlement with Mr..
r. j. Lane 1t was expected that a definite
offer of restitution would be made by him or
his friends, but it was not forthcoming. On
the contrary. he sought to obtain months
further time in which to canvass the situa-
tion. This could not be granted. The Comp
troller of the Currency, it is said, is begin
ming to lose patience over the long delay OF
the banks officers in reorganization, and un-
less the institution is reported ready to re-
ceiYe business in very few days he Will
place a receiver in charge Concerning the
present condition of the bank this can be
said: 1t has funds on hand, independent OF
any aid which may come from Mr.. Lane ol
his friends, to meet about 30 per cept' VI INC
liabilities. If plenty of time we're allo"eu'
the hanks assets would probably pay all the
l;ohilitiae ia fulI h..S the resources cannot be
suddenly converted into cash. The Directors
voted Wednesday to call a stockholders meet
ing to be neld at the bank at O'CLOCK OH
The stated reason for the delay of Mr. Lane

is that they have been disappointed thus lar

leather board enterprise at Saccarappa. The
criminal case against Mr. Lane came up by
continuance yesterday before Commissioners
Hallett in Boston. The defence has asked
for further continuance, and the Govern
ment will probably grant two weeks moro
time. 1t can be stated positively that inde-
pendent of any efforts by the bank Directors
to effect compromise with Mr.. Lane, Dis
trict Attorney Stearns has authorized no one
to offer mol pros. of the criminal case as
any part Of whatever agreement may DC
made. Bank Examiner Gatchell has Practi-
cally completed his work at the bank, though
he will remain there until the fate of the IN
stitution is decided. AS the result of his in
yestgatiOn, it is said there will be other
charges, in addition to those in the complaint
now pending brought before the Grand Jury
in September. Regarding Mr.. Lanes opera
tions in drawing from the banks Boston re-
serve funds which, it is alleged in the con-
plant now pending, he converted to his own
use, it is stated that checks have been traced,
showing that this practice has been resorted
to to the extent of $48, 900 in single month.
Since his arrest Mr.. Lane spends the great
er part of his time at his residence on Union
street, Rockland, 1t is now made public that
he has resigned his position as deacon and
superintendent of the, Sunday School and
treasurer of the parish of the Congrega-
tional Church. He still retains his position
on the Water Board and as Director OF the
Hanover Branch Railroad. The payment on
one of the notes given by Mr.. Lane as Treas;
urer of the church has been demanded, ana
the other note became due Wednesday. Mel
ther has been paid and unless Mr.. Lane
meets them the church will have to bear the
debt.

AN UNFAITHFUL HUSBAND.
The Cause Of Insane Mrs. LoveII's
Attempt to Murder Her Child.

CHESTER, July 29.-Mrs. A. c. Lowell,
who attempted to murder her four year old
child yesterday, is sick in bed today She
says she can remember nothing ot what has
occurred, and tits said that when she saw
blood on her child she asked her brother If
Oracle had had nose bleed. The deed was
committed with a dull razor, and a deep cash
the sjugular vein. The insane mother would
have accomplished her object but for the in,
reference of the grandmother, who heard
the child scream, and rushing into the room
grappled with her daughter, who upon see-
ing her rushed into corner of the room
and attempted to cut her own throat, but
only partially succeeded before the razor
was taken from her. Much sympathy is felt
here for the woman and her three young chill
dren, and there is a good deal of feeling
against her husband, whose desertion has
caused his wife to resort to such rash meas
ures to rid herself of her trouble. Both
child and mother will recover, but close
watch has been put on the latter.
