TmPorSant Measures Which VIII Com.
 mand Attention I'm Senate and House
 The Fisheries TreaGY-Union Pacific
 Finding Bfn and DehcHe Appropr1a-
 ton Measure.
 WAsHIEeToN, Aug. 5.-The bill for the admission Of Washington territory as State in the Union holds the position of unfinished business on the legislative calendar of the Senate, a position which it attained ten days ago and which it is likely to hold some days longer. The fisheries treaty in execu- tive session promises to absorb the attention of the Senate during the week. The pending motion is that of Senator Morgan to post pone further consideration until December. No doubt is entertained that it will be decid- ed adversely, after which the treaty will come formally before the Senate article by article fos amendment. It is inferred from some utterauces of Democratic Senators in debate that efforts will be made to amend the treaty considerably in the hope that it may finally command the support of some Republicans.
 An effort will be made in the House to- morrow to return to the regular order for the purpose of having 8 "suspension day." If assurances are secured that the Pacific rail road funding bill will not be called up, it is believed that this effort will meet with little opposition, and in case of success the bill to incorporate the Nicaragua Canal company and several bills for the erection of public buildings will probably be acted upon. The deficit appropriation bill promises to occupy two days more before it is completed and the report of the conference committee on the army appropriation bill will probably be ready for the action of the House. The Oklahama bill may also be subject for dis cugsiou

 dueed i'm New York in November.
 NEW YORK, Ang. 5.-About November 10 Gilbert & Sullivan's latest comic opera will be brough out simultaneously at the Casino and in London. The title and plot of the opera will be withheld until the latest moment in order to reduce to minimum the possibility of imitation, and tue music will not be published until six weeks after the first performance.
 The new opera is in two acts and the scene laid in Sweden and Norway.

It is said that part of the music will be Scandinavian, which has recently increased in popularity for it's quaint rhythm and fresh melody. The chorus of the new production will number seventy voices, forty of which will be male, and the cast will consist of eleven principals.

CHURCH NOTES,

Rev. NIT. Dickinson of WaIIfngford- Rev. Dr. Chapman at the First M. E.
 Church-Nevv Members at Humphrey Street Church.
 A fairly full house joined in the morning service yesterday at the United church, con- ducted by Rev. c. H. Dickinson of Walling- ford. Only the leader, MT. Kastner, and the organist were in the choir gallery and rendered the organ prelude and anthem. Part of the fourth chapter of PsuI's second epistle to the Corinthians was the morning lesson. It was read in connec- tion with the second Psalm, the whole of which was the text of the sermon. The po- etic beauty of this improved song and prayer was made evident by the speaker in his al1u- sion to the circumstances of it's composition and utterance. The author was one of those who left their native land of Judea, the mag nifcent temple of Solomon and the holy places of their habitation and were car ried away into captivity at Babylon, the land of the Medes and Persians. As his dear native land, shut out by the mountains of Media, fades forever from his view the soul of the writer is turned to his own and MHis fathers God, the eternal one in whom they believe and live. As 8 prophecy and as
 
 ssmane and on Calvary, in almost the very same words the great truths of our religion are exfressed. The lesson of trust in God and the need of looking unto him in our deepest distress was shown as the teaching of the pslana and the clearer manifestation in the new testament writings.
 It is understood that the regular Tuesday evening prayer and conference meeting will be attended in unison with other churches through this month, although notice was not read usual from the pulpit.
 AT HUMPHREY STREET CHURCH.
 Five new members were added to the Humphrey street Congregational church yes- terday, all adults, at the communion service. Rev. Mir. Luekey made brief address.

He returns to the Vineyard this week.

Y., August 5.-The four hundred or more employees of the cross town railroad company, of which Gen. Henry W. Sloeum is president, struck at o'clock this morning without warning, tying up the Hun ter's Point, Erie Basin, Calvary cemetery and the Oakland street and Park avenue lines. An attempt was made about Il o'clock to start six cars with scab drivers from Erie basin, but a mob attacked the first car pulled the conductor and driver off and kicked and beat them and cut the traces. The police routed the strikers and made sev. eral arrests, but the car did not go through. Later in the afternoon another car was sent out guarded by policemen. It was stopped between India and Huron streets by a barri- cade, and stones began to fly and the driver was knocked senseless, while half 8 dozen policemen were more or less hut.
 Six arrests were made. The conducto was persuaded to join the strikers, and a po~ lice officer drove the car back to the stables The railroad company will attempt to open their lines under police protection tomorrow morning. The tieup was ordered by Master Workman George Fl. Pearson. The cause is said to be the discharge of certain employees upon frivolous charges, the importation of green drivers from Ireland, under contract, and favoriteism on the part of one of the starters, who is said to have used his posi- tion to build up his fathers saloon and his own barber shop.

 CHATHAM, Mass, Aug. 5.-During the southwest gale of last night the schooner Quoddy of Quebec, Captain Hall, with car go of coal consigned to the New York and New England railroad.

The vessel somehow got off the cham nel and brought up on the west side of Handkerchief shoal. The schooner was driven by the storm and sea way across the shosl, pounding heavily, and filled with water. She finally stopped on the northeast part of the shoal, where the position of the crew became so dangerous that they were obliged to get the boat out alongside under great difficulties and finally succeeded in getting safely aboard. They were rescued soon After daylight by wreckers from Mon- omoy. The vessel will probably be stripped tomorrow.

 LEWISTON, Me-, Aug. 5.-On Saturday night two men walked by the park in com- pany with John Lehey and James Connors. There was nothing unusual in the appearance or conversation of either. They had gone but e little distance when an alarm was heard and those who hastened to the spot found Lehey dead and Connors insensible from stabs re- ceived. Connors was taken to the station and it is now thought he may recover. Lehey was foreman at the Wiston bleachery and is well spoken of by all. He was thirty-two years of age and leaves wife and three chil- dren. Three men, Jerry McGillicuddy, Mi chael McGillicuddy and James Connors, have been arrested on suspicion, but deny knowl- edge of the affair. The method and motive of the assault are mystery, though family feud is suggested. A post-morten examina- ton on LeheY shows the stab to have been made with long knife, which went clear through the heart. Connors was wounded in the back. A hearing will be held Mon- day

BERE OUGHT TO BE CHEAP.


 Western Cattle Numerous and Healthy
 Tho Corn Crop Said to Exceed she
 Average.
 CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-The Farmers Review says: A careful study of reports from our correspondents on this subject discloses the fact that cattle are far better condition in the different States than some despatches have endeavored to show. Up to time of going to press our reports place the condi- tion of cattle in Illinois as uniformly good; only five counties report the condition as "fair." Our reporter from Ssngamon coun- ty, however, tells of cattle dying there on &C., count of flies and heat. Cattle in Indiana are in good condition except in eight coun- ties, where their condition if only "fair." Iowa makes good report, only two counties placing the condition as low as "fair." In Kansas four counties report the condition "fair" Ohio shoows up rather badly, with only "fair'' condition in eleven counties. Kentucky makes the same report as Iowa, while Missouri reports five counties where the condition is only 'sfair" In the West and Northwest cattle are doing well. Minne- sota has but two counties where the condi- tion is only flair Nebraska all good. Pa same. It is understood that the counties in the States other than those reporting Clair" condition report the condition as good.
 The warm weather recently has brought corn on rapidly and heavy crop seems to be the prospect in every State. Exaggerated reports have been sent out by interested parties stating that much damage has been done by hot winds. While our reports indi- cate some damage from this cause in Kansas ffrom which State most of the sensational dispatches have come1, they still show the condition of the corn crop in that State to exceed an average. Recent rains have been beneficial to corn, pastures and potatoes in many localities, but more rain is wanted al most generally.
 The hay crop has yielded better than was expected. Pastures are in fair condition.

 NORTH ADAMS, Mass, August 5.-Abeut
 3:30 this afternoon George Dsrrow, aged 3s, jumped from the first story window of the
 house of his brother, John Darrow, 115 Main
 street, carrying the screen with him. He
 turned twice in the air and striking on his
 side on heavy iron pipe beneath breaking
 the pipe. Not appearing to be injured he
 arose with an oath, saying 1T didn't do it that time," and walking rapidly down Main
 street without coat or hat to the iron bridge
 crossing the north branch of the Hoosac river on Main street. E. W. Stockwell, who
 saw Darrow jump from the window, think ing he had suicidal intentions followed him as did also his friends. When Darrow reach ed the center of the bridge he climbed over the rail deliberately and jumped in. Charles McCauIey, being close behind, stripped him. self of his outer garments, sprang after Darrow and caught him by the hair and col lar, while Stockwen threw in boards to as- sist. Darrow kept his head under water, however, and being quite heavy McCauley was unable to drag him ashore, although he attempted to several times, until Darrow sank for the last time. McCauley dived, but was unable to find the body. The river was dragged without effect until 5 o'clock, when Michael Hughes, an expert swimmer, dove from 8 raft and brought the body to the sur face. The deceased was inclined to imbibe too freely. He had been married, but his wife and children are all dead.
