SENATORIAL CAUCUS.
Republican Senators Meet to Devise
Programme.

Republican Senators Meet to Devise
a Programme.
WASHINGTON, August 15.-The Repub.
lican Senators held conference this
evening at the residence of Chandler, at
which all but two or three of the Repub.
lican Senators now in the city were pres
ent. Senator Allison was authorized by
the caucus TO make statement to the
press.
"We had a conference" he said, con
order of business and arranged. so far as
we are concerned, the order in which
measures are to be taken up, which or
der we shall submit to the Democratic
caucus tomorrow. l can't recall the
order but will give it to you in the morn
ing. 1t comprises all the important
measures now pending. Then we had a
formal talk about the tariff but took no
action"
"Well, are you going to pass the tariff
bill"
"Why, nothing new was determined
upon"
"Was there any proposition to revise
the action of the former caucus?"
'No; the subject was not discussed"
"Senator, it has been stated within the
week that this conference would settle
certain disputed points, such as lumber,
wool, salt and sugar. Did it do SOP"
"They settled nothing on the subject.
We didn't get down to revision. We
proposed to finish the Fisheries treaty
right away, and appropriation bills which
may be waiting action will then be taken
up and disposed of. When these are out
the way, Senator Chandler's, Jackson,
Miss Outrapa resolution will ha
brought forward, and it is likely
there will be debate on the election
franchise in the South, generally. The
bills for the admission of North Dakota,
Washington Territory and Montana into
the Union of States, will next be in or
der, if by that time the Tariff bill should
not be ready for consideration by the
Senate. Other bills will be taken up to
fill in, and opportunity will be given the
Democrats to pass some bills in which
they may be especially interested"
He thought October 10Th would bring
adjournment.

EVILS OF IMMIGRATION.
More Evidence Before the Invests.
eating COMMITTEES.


New York, August 15.-Jas. Green
dale, once an inmate of the City Of Lon
don Asylum, testified before the Con-
gressional immigration Investigating
Committee yesterday afternoon and
swore that he was discharged after ten
days. confinement. and the Lord Mayor
sent him and his family to this country.
Geo. Gulrichek, German who had
been in this country three years, said
while in Berlin he was agent for
French sleeping-car company. He was
acquainted with Berlin statistics and
they showed that during the past five
years there were about $4,000 immi-
grants.
Meyer Magnus, "a city Councilman and a
man held in much favor by the German
Government, once called on witness
respecting the mode by which prosecuted
Russian Jews could be shipped to this
country. 1t is the policy of Bismarck,
said witness, to drive off the Poles and
to re-Germanize the country. There was
an immense fund in the hands of the
German Government to buy up the
small landed possessions of undesirable
Poles, and then sell the property for
small sums to Germans.
The Committee to-day examined David
Harris, President of the local Cigar
Makers International Union. He said
American workmen had been almost
driven out of business by foreign labor.
In 1864 good cigar makers could earn $50
a week: now $12 was fair weeks
wages. Many manufacturers import for
eign labor.

OUR vivacious contemporary, the En-
anainer, has started out to make Mr.. M.
H. De Young, of the Chronicle, Post
master-General in Mr.. Harrison's Cab
met. This is a good deal on the order of
the fine principality which Sancho Panza
was to have on the island of Barataria.
1t is Quixotic, because the only cabinet
in which Mr.. Harrison will ever be in.
terested will be ordered from the joiner's.
The Post suggests that this is shrewd
scheme of Mr.. William R. Hearst's to
remove rival. There would
be something very ingenious in such a
device, but it will fail in the way we
have indicated. Mr.. Harrison will be
President, Mr.. M. H. De Young will be
Postmaster -General-in horn.

Iron Facts About Iron.

Some time ago movement was made
by the iron men OF Pittsburgh and other
centers OF the iron interests of the United
States to scale down the rates of wages
paid to the workers in that metal. The
attempt failed, but it failed solely because
the wage-earners had perfect organiza-
ton, and business was so brisk that the
mi Is could not be shut down. The pre-
tence about depressed state of the bus
mess was so palpably false that in very
shame it was abandoned. 1t is in such a
state of affairs that we hear no end to the
talk about danger to American industries.
The several railway companies centering
in Los Angeles have been contemplating
number of very extensive schemes OF
road extension. A reporter of the HERALD
was informed yesterday at railway
headquarters that they had been
suspended for the present through
inability to get rails from
the East, the companies preferring to
patronize American manufacturers. These
rails could doubtless have been had from
England but were not ordered abroad.
The Eastern iron mills have orders for
months ahead, and are unable 10 supply
the demands Of this Coast. 1t is at such
stage that the great outcry is raised
against the Mills bill, which reduces the
duty on foreign steel rails from SIT to
$40 ton. How many enterprises neces
sary to our comfort would 90 forward
blithely if this material reduction were
made in the price OF this essential to ou,
development? And yet it is the mer
who are getting this royal largess or
their product-$17 on every ton of rails
manufactured-who tried to scale dowr
the wages of the mill hands only shor
month or six weeks ago. Humbug, thy
name is Republican party that seeks tt
maintain an exhorbitant war tariff from
which the workingman is to be per
mitted to gain nothing.

assumed command OF the army. He also
issued an order detailing First Lieutenant
j. F. Sawyer. Fifth Artillery, First Lieu
tenant I. S. Bliss, of the First Artillery,
and First Lieutenant John Pitcher, First
Cavalry, for duty at army headquarters
as aides scamp. Colonels Sheridan,
Kellogg and Blunt, late of General Sher-
idan's staff, have also been assigned to
temporary duty at army headquarters.
The conference representative of the
two Houses have reached an agreement
upon the Naval Appropriation bill. The,
basis of the agreement is a substantial
concession of the demands of both the
Senate and House, the former agreeing
to restore in the bill the original provi-
sion for 7,50O-ton armored cruiser, the
latter accepting the 2,O0O-ton boats pro-
posed by the Senate.

Indian a,

Mr.. Quay, the Chairman of the Re.
publican National Committee, has placed
himself on record to the effect that the
present is to be campaign of silence
and work. There is flavor of the Dor.
sey methods employed in the Garfield.
Hancock campaign about this utterance
and the presence of Dudley, Dorsey's
right hand man, as Secretary at the Re-
publican headquarters, naturally gives
significance to this Sphinx-like outgiv-
ing. 1t is suggestive of the "soap" and
"crisp, new two dollar bills" which were
expended in great quantities to prevent
Hancock from carrying the votes Of
thousands of Indiana Republicans. The
indications all point to the employment
of such tactics now, and they also con-
clusively point to their utter f1tility this
year. From all quarters the tidings
come OF Democratic awakening
in Indiana only equalled by that
which was noted before "Blue Jeans"
Williams beat Harrison out Of his boots
for Governor in 1876. The positive
declination of Porter to accept the Re-
publican nomination for Governor has a
significance which no sensible Republi-
can will attempt to dispute when he
comes to expressing his real sentiments.
In the early days following the Chicago
Convention Governor Porter was willing
to be the Republican candidate, but he
based his acceptance of the nomination
on the success of efforts which were be-
ing made to conciliate the workingmen.
These negotiations resulted in fiat fail
ure. The wage-earners warned Porter
that he must not attempt to carry Har-
rison, and, like the sagacious politician
that he is, he acted upon the friendly
advice.
The true statement of the present condi-
ton of the campaign in Indiana is that the
Republicans are on the run. Their nom
inee for Governor, General A. P. Hovey,
while respectable gentleman, has been
out of politics for years, and his per-
sonal acquaintance does not extend
much beyond Evansville, where he re.
sides. He was nominated to catch the
soldier vote, but in this he will fail. His
Democratic opponent, Colonel Matson, is
a man of splendid intellectual and
physical vigor, and he has done more
for the soldier than any man in Con-
gress. His general popularity is great,
and he enters the canvass backed by an
administration Democratic both in the
nation and in his State. The local Off
cials in most Of the counties are also
Democratic. These things count for
several thousand votes, which, in close
State, are often decisive.
Republican coin will cut no figure in
the election in Indiana this year, or at
least it will not effect the result. The
machine boss may do his best to coun-
tervail the will of the people, but the
current is setting too strongly towards
Cleveland and Thurman in the Hoosier
State to be breasted.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Times, in some editorial remarks upon
one of the late utterances of Frank M.
Pixley in the Argonam calls Hon. S. M.
White an Irishman. This will be news
to our accomplished Lieutenant-G Gov
ernor. The several parlors of the Native
Sons of the Golden West will also be
somewhat astonished. Our e. C. likewise
says that President Cleveland gave the
Pope bound copy of the Constitution OF
the United States on the occasion of the
Pontiff's birthday. As matter of fact
President Cleveland sought to compli-
ment Pope Leo on the fiftieth anniver.
sary OF his ordination as priest. 1t is
somewhat awkward in taking the great
thaumaturgist Pixley to task about facts
that the Times should be indifferent to
them itself,

Kelea.

A dispatch was received at the army
headquarters in this city yesterday from
General Miles. In it he stated that the
reported disturbance in Pleasant Valley
has been misrepresented, as eighty braves
have not been raiding in that district nor
anywhere near it, and intimated that
white men were at the bottom of the
trouble. The General stated that he
vii! return to Los Angeles at an
early date, from which it is inferred that
everything will soon be in its normal con-
dition. They have got good system

Los ANGELES, CAL, Aug. Is, 1888.
EDITORS HERALD-Allow me to correct
an error in the Tribune's report of the
caucus meetings held in the two precincts
of the Fifth Ward. It says, "the men of
the eighth precinct being deserted by the
seventh, left the latter out in the cold
and assembled in D. V. Waldron's barn.
The caucuses in both precincts were har-
monious in every point, and elecued their
delegates and transacted all of their
business in less than half an hour. The
seventh met in the pavilion OF the Wash
ington Garden, and there being quite a
large crowd assembled Mr.. Waldron in
vited the members of the eighth to meet
in the place he had prepared for them,
which they occupied, and got through

So RAPID has been the growth of Los
Angeles that the Electric Light Com.
pany has just made $780, 900 addition to
their works in this city. The rate at
which we have been filling up of late

Mr.. Blaine was made to include New

THE HOUSE.
Forts md ArSenals-Gun FactOFie
and Where to Ruild Them.

and Where to Build Them.
WASHINGTON, August l5.-The House
went into Committee of the Whole on
the Fertilization Appropriation bill. The
pending point OF order against the sec
ton providing for the establishment of a
gun factory at Watervliet arsenal was
withdrawn by Townshend, renewed by
Turner, of Kansas, and overruled by the
chair.
Nutting, of New York, offered an
amendment appropriating 100000 for
the erection of a dry dock and proper
machinery, buildings and appliances al
some point on Lake Ontario for building
| and repairing ships. Nutting said that
| in case OF trouble with England the
greatest danger to the United States
would be on the northern frontier. AT
Kingston, almost within cannon-shot Ct
the shores OF the United States, Canada
dependency of England, was building
dry dock for the construction OF wal
vessels.
Farquahar, OF New York, declared
that the State of New York, independ.
emily of the other States, would take the
contract to take care of Canada and hel
five millions, inside of sixty days.
Butterworth objected to the action OF
the Senate in amending the Army Ap-
preparation bill by providing for fortfica.
| tions, in contravention of what it knew
| to be the rules of the House.
Nutting's amendment was ruled out oi
order, but the discussion was continued
| by unanimous consent.
Nelson, of Minnesota, said the Cana
dian Pacific Railway scare had been
started at the other end of the Capitol
and had found it's echo in the House to.
day. He proceeded then with the aid ol
large map and cane to point out the
railroad system which the enterprisine
and energetic men of the Northwest had
built up, in order to transport their pro.
ducts to the seaboard, and he appealed
to the House to let that system alone
Gentlemen in the East might be afraid
of Canada, but Minnesota could take
care of all Canada west of Lake Superior
and make it suburb OF st. Paul and
Minneapolis.
After some further talk on this line
Bayne, of Pennsylvania, offered an
amendment providing that the gun fac.
tory provided for in the bill shall be es-
tablished at Allegheny Arsenal, instead
of at Watervliet Arsenal.
DhlAOlI, VI lcau6yAFdAAd, ouppUIlcu
the amendment.
Dockery, of Missouri, advocated the
amendment for the erection OF gun
factory at Liberty Arsenal, Missouri. II
was, he said, situated in the banner
Democratic county of his district and at
the home of his Republican competitor.
He declined to answer the question by
Kilgore, Of Texas, if it was necessary for
him to get his appropriation in order to
defeat his competitor.
Dockerey's amendment was defeated
as was also that offered by Bayne.
On point of order raised by Towns
hend, the section providing for the ap-
pointment of board of defense. and ap-
propriating $2,477 $40 to meet the ex-
penses of the board, and for the purchase
of twelve and sixteen-inch steel guns
and twelve-inch cast-iron guns, was
ruled cut.
The Committee then rose and reported
the bill to the House. The previous
question was ordered on it's passage, and
then the bill went over till tomorrow
