GOSSIP IN FINANCIAL AND SENATO-

Agreed Upon by the Finance Commit

on What Bills the President VIII Veto
Notes from the Capital.
WASHINGTON CITY July 26-A good deal
Of gossip is afloat in financial and senatorial
circles about purported action on the Nor
rison surplus resolution. 1t is stated that
substitute has been practically agreed upon
by the senate committee on finance and that
final action will be taken upon it on Tues
day next The substitute fixes the maxi
mum surplus at $135, 000, 900 and the mini
imum at $11u, ,O0O, 900 and gives the score
tary Of the treasury the discretion of in
vestment Of the $25, 900, 900 between the
minimum and maximum figures This it is
believed will be reported by the committee
on Tuesday with recommendation that it
pass
Republican senator's say that it comes.
with i'll grace for Democrats to ask them to
pass q law compelling Democratic secre-
tary of the treasury to execute an authority
already given him; that for many years
there has been law on the statutes provid-
ing that the secretary of the treasury may
reduce the surplus at his discretion to $780,
CO0, 900; that if the present secretary Of the
treasury does not comply with the wishes
Of his party in carrying out this provifion,
the Democrats would do what more became
them-to petition for his retirement and the
selection Of successor who would reduce
the surplus to what they thin it should be.
As a body the Republicans oppose the
resolution and the substitute; yet it is con-
ceded that the substitute will be adopted
At the same time Republicans express belief
that the Democrats in the house will not
agree to the substitute, and believe that it
will, if passed, be pending in conference
when adjournment of congress is reached.
The origin OF this gossip was an informal
caucus, or meeting, of dozen or more
prominent Republican senators, held Satur-
day morning, at the instance of Sherman,
for the purpose OF hearing an expression of
the sentiment gathered by the three sena-
tors designated at recent meeting at Sher-
mans residence to feel the Republicans
pulse on the subject

A General Strike Looked for.

P1TTsBURG, Pa, July &c. Trouble on an
extensive scale is again brewing among the
miners, and a general strike is likely to oc.
cur at an early date The miners along the
line Of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad have
been on strike for several weeks, and there is
now every possibility that the Monangahela
miners will soon join them. Recently the
employees at Scott's mines signed an agree
ment to work for one year at a rate of 65
cents per ton. Operators at other pits
claim to be unable to compete with Scott
and continue paying II cents. A number of
operators have posted notices that wages
will be reduced from II cents to Is cents
The men are strongly opposed to the reduc-
tion and threaten to strike.

Trouble Among Pennsylvania Coal Min

WORCESTER, Mass, July 26-District
assembly No. 81, knights of Labor, is now
in session here One thousand delegates,
representing 400 local assemblies, with a
membership of 81, co., ara in attendance
The meeting is a most important one in sew
eral respects 1t has been understood ever
since the special session at Cleveland that
at this convention the men who have an
tagonized Powderly's policy-the clique
that Is trying to create dissension with the
trade.union cry-would attempt to carry
things with a high hand, and send to Rich
mond a delegation pledged to do certain
things that the general master work
man very much dislikes The leaders
of the anti -Powderly faction are Carlton,
Foster, and George E. McNeilL Ex-Distriet

man lead the Powderly forces.
The contention in the convention appears
to have been quite spirited. Occasionally,
indeed, bad temper was displayed; but
great efforts were made to effect compro-
misses and to preserve harmony. The battle
was sharp sometimes, and the results in
doubt, but ultimately the Powderly forces
gained complete control, and only gave their
rivals such offices or recognition as would
keep them in fairly good humor. Howes,
McNeill, Litchman, and Carlton,
with sixty eight others-a majority of
whom are friendly to Powderly-were
elected delegates to the general convention.
Litchman was made master workman and
Senator Bob Howard, of Fall River
worthy foreman. The old executive board
was reelected. The Powderly men, how
ever, showed their strength and ar the same
time wreaked their vengeance by declining
to re-elect George E. McNeill to the secre-
tary-treasurership of the district. The
position is worth 81 200 year. The new
secretary is Mr.. Henry E. Mason, of
Georgetown Charges are pending against
McNeill
Although the trade union question is
made the bone of contention, there is every
reason to believe that the rivalries, ambi-
tions, and jealousies of prominent members
are at bottom the real cause of the trouble.
Carlton and Foster are said to be the mere
instruments of George E. McNeilL Nc
Neill is good speaker, forcible writer,
and a veteran in the labor cause. He
really can't understand why he does
not occupy a very prominent position,
and seems determined to "get there"
if he can. The truth is, however, that
he is known to be erratic, and that in ma
tional conventions and elsewhere he has dis
gusted delegates by his dictatorial airs
Carlton was once upon time at the head of
district So He was capable officer, and
was well liked. Since McNeill has taken
him under his wing, however, he has aban-
ioned and betrayed Mr.. Howes and the
other good friends who stood by him in the
hour Of need.
There is an impression that before ad-
journing the convention will divide No. 30
INTO four districts, one of which shall COM
prise the city Of Boston.

Bogus Bond Swinde.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 2G.-Another
bogus bond swindle is reported from Davies
county. The commissioners issued bonds to
the amount Of $50, 900 to induce the Ohio &
Mississippi Railroad company to build ma
chine shops at Washington. There being no
legal authority to issue bonds for that pur-
pose, the bonds were made to appear on
their face as having been issued for the
purchase of poor-house farm. The courts
have held that In such cases if the object to
which the proceeds really were intended to
be applied is unlawful, the bonds are void
and the holders can not recover.

Mr.. Keau puzzled the House by NOV
ing that molasses for the breweries be

ported the bill in the interest of tenn
perance, believing that domestic beer
would displace more fiery beverages;
while Mr. Dckey opposed it on the
ground of temperance, holding that
there would be as much gin drunk as
before, with the beer thrown in, and
that the use of beer would cultivate

Earthquake Phenomena.

The late Commander Morrison,

lowing observations on earthquakes:
Earthquakes generally follow close on
the heels of eclipses. AT the period of
the earthquake many aspects will be
found between the planets in the
heavens" In the present instance an
eclipse of the sun occurred on August
2oht Jupiter and Uranus we're in
conjunction with the moon on August
3Ist. On the same day there were i'm
portant aspects between the sun and
Jupiter and between Mars and Uranus.
Mars is at present in Scorpio, which
has been supposed to be another cir
cumstance favoring the production of

the sympathy will be augmented when
it is learned that their uniforms, to have

been ordered from London, England,

now in transit, and the ex-Ministers
are doubtless very much puzzled what
to do with them. Verify, they have an
elephant on their hands.
AS an Hawaiian Minister'S term of
Office is of such uncertain duration, it
would seem but just that the Govern
ment should furnish the uniforms for
the Ministers. They should be made
on the principle of an extension table,
to be taken in when their Excellencies
are thin, and let out when they are
