FIFTlErH CONGRESS.

HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, August 1S.-Mr. McOreery
of Kentucky, from the committee on
foreign affairs, reported for Immediate
consideration of the senate bill to pre-
vent the coming of Chinese laborers into
the United States, with an amendment re-
pealing the acts of May, 1861 and 1882
and July 8, 1884; the repeal to take effect
on the ratification of the pending treaty
Mr.. McCreery stated that owing to the
fact that the senate had amended the
treaty it had to be returned to China for
the ratification of that government and
that it would probably be tbs first of next
year before the treaty could be agreed
upon. The object of the bill he said was
to carry out the provisions of the treaty
as soon as it was ratified by both
countries.
Mr.. Morrow, of California, declared
that the passage of the bill was
necessary in order to pro-
tect the people of this country from the
coils of Chinese immigration. He dis
cussed the provisions of previous accounts
on the subject, and pointed out wherein
they proved defective in prohibiting the
immigration of Chinese. From 1852 to
1876, before there had been any attempt
at restriction, the average number of
Chinese entering annually at the port OF
San Francisco was but little over 5000
but in 1887, after several attempts at
the restriction of immigration at San
Francisco, it had amounted to over 10000
1t was, therefore, necessary for the gov
eminent to devise some treaty to carry
out its policy.
After long discussion of the bill, which
partook largely of political character
which was participated in by Mr.. O'Neill
of Missouri; Messrs. Byrnum and Owen
of Indiana; Dingley, of Maine; Cannon
of Illinois; FELTON, and Morrow, of Cali
fornia. and others, the house, without
further action, adjourned.

THE WHITE GAPS.
A Detective Enters the Infamous Society
and Gives the Members Away.

A Detective Enters the Infamous Society
and Gives the Members Away.
ST. LOUIS, August 1S.-A special from
Evansville, Ind, safes that startling reve-
lstiops are just being made concerning
the operations of the White Cap organi-
cation. While the infamous operations of
the gang have been known, the fountain
head of the organization has remained a
mystery, which is now being revealed
through clever ruse. A detective, whose
name is withheld for prudential reasons,
Joined the White Gaps with view of Sc
curing evidence for the suppression of the
organization. He was employed by the
citizens of Harrison, Crawford and Perry
counties, and is a gentleman of unim-
peachable character. The detectives
plan was the same as adopted by the Penn
sylvania detective who exposed the Mollie
Maguires. He Joined the organization in
Harrison county two months ago, and
states the oath demanded of every candi-
date is blood curdling in its provisions.
The penalty of its violation is death. The
candidate must also swear he has been &C.
cessory to some crime, which is held over
him to prevent treachery. Once admitted
he is subjected to many curious tests in
order to establish his sincerity. One was
frightful ordeal in which he found him
self convicted of having entered the order
with sinister motives and was condemned
to be shot therefor. At the last moment,
after being led to dismal swamp, gagged
and blindfolded, he was given an oppor-
tunity to confess and save his life.
These stages of the initiation having
been successfully passed, the purposes of
the order was unfolded. These consist in
the enumeration of a list of mock, morality
and the punishment of citizens for al
legged offenses without appeal to law. The
order does not countenance murder, and
its members think they are working in q
good cause. The chief headquarters are
near English, and the order numbers but
200 members, among whom are many
prominent and highly respectable citi-
zens. The state authorities are at work
and startling disclosures are looked for.

Prize Fight on a Barge.

New York, August 18.-Officers of the
steamboat patrol ran alongside the barge,
L. Myers, at o'clock this morning and
arrested 105 persons who were witnessing
a prize fight between Loblane Marine and
John Marley, middle weight champion of
England. The fight had just ended in
Varley's being knocked out in the third
round, which occupied eight minutes.
Captain Smith, when he boarded the
barge, found number of lead
ing celebrities engaged in new
occupations. For instance, Jack
Dempsey was acting as barkeeper, Jack
Fallon, of brooklyn, as salesman at the
lunch counter, and SO on. Other celebri-
ties were "Judge', Newton, Jack Nc.
Auliffe, George W. Wood, Abe Coadley,
Frank Farrell and Jim keenan,, of Boston
all with number of sporting reporters
were put under arrest. Jack Dempsey's
efforts to disguise himself and escape ar
rest caused much merriment. He hur-
riedly visited the engineers room, where
he blackened his face and hands and
donned freman's jumper.
After some delay complaint was finally
made charging LaBlanche and Varley
with engaging in prize fight. Both de-
manded an examination through counsel.
Justice Powers held LaBlanche and Var
ley in $500 each for trial. The others
were discharged. The ring was made on
the dancing platform. LaBlanche was
the first to enter the ring. His weight was
1866 pounds Varley followed. He
weighed 157 pounds.
At 5:20 time was called, and the men be-
gan their battle. From the start the "Ma-
rine" began the rushing tactics for
which he is famous. They had
no sooner faced each other than
out shot his left on varley's
right eye, cutting the skin. He followed
this up with another right and left in
quick succession. 1t was evident from
the start that the Englishman was over
matched. Varlsy could do nothing, but
take the punishment the "Marine" inflicted
on him. LaBlanchesleft visited Yarley's
nose, and the crimson followed. First
blood was claimed. Marley seemed in
capable all through the round to do
nothing but take his terrible punishment.
Time was called with Varley's eye badly
swollen and bloody nose in addition.
When time was called for the second
round LaBlanche went right to work
again, and his rushes with upper cuts
we're so fierce that they almost knocked
Marley out. He landed terrible blows in
the region of varley's heart, and the latter
dropped like log to the floor. Marley
was SO groggy at the call of time that his
seconds had TO assist him to corner. His
lip was clear cut through, and his eye was
in the same condition. Varley never
landed an effective blow on the "Marine"
at all.
The third and last round was very
short-only thirty-fye seconds. The
marine" saw that Marley was his game and
commenced to punish him right and left.
varley finally turned and quit. Charley
Norton, bis second, threw up the sponge,
and the fight and money were awarded to
the marine" The Queensbury rules gov
erned the contest.

IMMIGRATION INVESTIGATION.

A Detectives Testimony Before the Con-
gressional Committee in New York.
New YORK, August 18.-Ohairman Ford,
of the congressional committee, investi-
eating the evils of immigration, opened
to days proceedings by calling to the
stand Ward Detective Michael j. Reope,
of the Eldridge street police station. Wit
ness said he had been attached TO that
precinct for number of years, during
which he noticed a steadily increasing
number of Polish and Hungarian Jews
within the bounds of the Eleventh pre-
cinct. At present they abound in
Ludlow, Esther aud Essex streets, and
the lower portion of the streets
running from Grand to Division streets
towards the Bowery. These foreigners,
witness said, are exceedingly filthy in
their habits; home influence is wanting
among them; numbers of them peddle
stale vegetables and dscaying fruits; they
never attempt to learn English; their
living costs but little-very much less
than the cost to the working men of other
nationalities; they cause much trouble,
and sanitary officers are constantly in
their midst to insure partial cleanliness;
it is disgusting to travel whsre these Poles
and Hungarians congregate.

Close of the Reunion of the Survivors of
the Great Civil War.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
SAN ANTONIO, August 1S.-The third and
last day of the reunion passed off as
pleasantly as the first two days. The
great majority of veterans left for their
homes last night, and the camp was con-
sequently not so animated to-day. The
main speeches of the day were made by
Gen. d. s. Stanley, commanding the de-
partment of Texas, United States army,
and General Oabell, the famous Arkansas
fighter. The reunion will be held
at Fort Worth next year, begin
ming the first Wednesday in
August and continuing three days.
Among other resolutions adopted this
afternoon was the following offered by
Major W. L. Davidson, of Victoria:
Resolved by the veteran soldiers in re-
union assembled, That we heartily recon-
mend to the next legislature to give
abundant state aid to the Home located al
Austin for the care Of destitute and dis
abled ex-confederate soldiers.
Hon. Weter Smith and Mr.. W. II. Mad
dox, of Fort Worth, were elected president
and vice president, respectively, OF thu
Texas ex-confederate association.

LOUISIANA TROUBLES.

Negroes Killed by Regulators-Indigna
ton Meeting in Vermilion Parish.
New ORLEANS, L., August IS Reports
from Freetown and from other sources in
dictate that more than twenty negroes
were killed on Thursday by the regulators,
and that several others were severely
wounded.
Aspecial dispatch to the Picayune from
Shreveport says a reliable report has been
received here, that on Tuesday last a
negro was hanged by a mob, near Big
Cypress bayou, in Bossier parish, for
breaking into store and stealing sum
of money.
No race issue is involved in the trouble
at Abbeville. 1t is demonstration of
public sentiment of both whites and
blacks against number of bad characters.
A party of young men, mostly clerks in
stores at Abbeville, began crusade
against these persons Saturday night by
whipping with cowhides several men and
women. In their rounds they visited the
house of a white woman living with a
mnlgtto and demanded admit
lance. In response they were fired
upon, slightly wounding one
of the party-Jno. A. Bodie. Monday
a call Yves made for an Indignation meet
ing, which convened next day, and was
participated in by 400 people-one-third
colored. Resolutions were passed con-
demning the woman whose open immor-
atty inspired the meeting, and ordered to
leave the city. In justification of the
action of the Abbeyville people, it is said,
there are no divisions among the good
people of either race.

FORT WORTH.

Mayor Broiles Appoints Colored Dele
gate to the Denver Convention.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
FORT WORTH, August 18.-President E..
E. Chase, of the board of trade, to-day APP
pointed as delegates to the Denver deep
water conventions: Maj. X. M. Van
Zandt, Col. j. p. Smith, r. B. Paddock,
Robert Mozart and VIM. Harrison. Mayor
Broiles to-day appointed to the same
conventions: W. A. Garner, Ed T. War
rem, j. M. Brown, j. l.. Tyler, j..
@. Terrell, W. B. King, H. NJ. Fur
man, and Prof. j. M. Terrell, (colored.)
There is considerable complaint over
the appointment of the colored delegate.
Mr.. Terrell is the principal of the colored
schools of Fort Worth, and no better rep
resentatlve of his race could have been
selected, but owing to the small proper
ton of the colored population in Fort
Worth, the whites are unit in de-
nouncing the appointment. 1t is well
understood here that the appointment is
made for political effect. Mayor Broiles
is the nominee for lieutenat-governor on
the non partisan ticket.

VETERANS REUNION.

Forty Thousand Spectators View the
Parade in San Antonio Yesterday.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
SAN ANTONIO, August 1.-THE second
day of the reunioa passed off even more
pleasantly than the first. The roll of
veterans was increased 1850 by the arri-
walls on last nights and this mornings
trains, The principal event of the day
was grand street parade in which about
12O0 of the veterans participated,
in addition to Voraln's civic organiza-
ions-the entire fire department of the
city, United States troops, six bands and
the local white and colored military com
pauies. 1t is estimated that 10000 peo-
pie crowded the streets along the line of
march of the parade, and the crowd at the
camp to-day was never less than $4,000.
Speeches were made by Col. M. W. Nc
Knight, of Arkansas, General Cabell, "Old
Tige," Capt. W. Ii. Huston and others.
Fort Worth will probably be the next
place of meeting.

special I6leRrhHl W LHe Dlhtepmdn.
KYLE, Tex, August 18.-The postoffice
inspector is making it rather warm for
some of the inhabitants of the upper end
of this county. Some time back one W.
r. Ferguson sent to this Office for his
mail by Mr.. j. j. Cook, and when Mr..
Cook asked for the mail he had forgotten
the full name of Mr.. Ferguson and by
mistake carried out letter for X. b.
Ferguson, delivering the same to W. r.
Ferguson, who opened it in his presence
and several others, finding it was not his
letter. Mr.. Ferguson was then
advised to replace the letter in
the original envelope and return
il to the postoffce with the notation on
the same that it was opened through mis-
take by him. This 1t seems he failed to
do, as it turns out.
w. R. Ferguson and his fathertin-law
it seems, have had a difficulty lately
which went 30 far as to endanger the life
of the latter. Since this trouble it is said
his brother in-law tells it on Ferguson
that he told him that he destroyed this
letter in question, for he thought it moi
worth while to return it to the postoffice
as it was not of much importance any
way. This fact has reached the inspec-
tors ears and he is investigating tn,
matter, but SO far the owner of the lettel
has not been found, and unless he turn
up it will be hard to tel what became o.
the letter.
It has been raining in sight most al
this afternoon, but so far has failed Il
reach here only in small drops.
A few bales of cotton were marketed
here to day.
