sofa

message. He said if the President should
without consulting Congress, suspend or
abrogate any of the treaty regulations made
with the consent of Congress, he would as
sumo an autocratic power equal to that of
the most despotic European monarch.
Georges argument was to the effect that
the President could not have taken any
other course in this fisheries question than
that which he has pursued without exceed
ing his executive powers.
Senator Cullom followed George with
speech on the message of the President,
After reviewing the various vacillating pol
icies OF the President on most of the great
issues before the country during his Ad
ministration, he dwelt at length upon
his course in regard to the fisheries ques-
ton. He said he would like to see the
President exercise the powers already at
his command, and when he saw The Presi-
dent ready to protect the rights of Ameri
can citizens he would be willing to grant
him more power, if necessary, but he was
unwilling to grant further concessions to
the President simply because he sent a
message TO Congress asking for it.
At the conclusion of his speech Senator
Cullom, in view of the fact that from the
Presidents message it is learned that GER
tain treaty articles are no longer in force,
he offered resolution requiring the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury to inquire why it is
that the transportation of goods in bond
can continue. The resolution was laid over
The fortifcations appropriation bill was
next considered. The resolution of Senator
Hawley, adding another Ordnance Officer
to the Board which will have charge of the
proposed work, was adopted.
Much discussion ensued over the clauses
of the bill providing for the making of
guns. Senator Dolph thought the appro-
priation too meagre. Formidable ports,
he said, were more needed than great
armored vessels.
Senator Hawley was also dissatisfied with
the gun clause of the BILL
Reagan favored recommitting the bill,
and to settle the discussion the Senate ad-
journed without taking action.

WASHINGTON, August 30th. - In the
House Ford presented the committee re-
port on the investigation of immigration
evils.
After some other business of less mo-
ment, the Oklahoma bill was considered,
but before action was taken on it the COM
mittee arose.
The bill granting the President retalia-
tory powers was reported to the House this
afternoon and recommitted to the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations.
The afternoon was spent in considering

Indications that the American Surplus
Will Be In Demand.
New YORK, August 30th-The Times has
long cable which estimates that the Old
World needs seventy to eighty million
bushels of wheat more than the harvests
of the year will produce To put it in an
other way, the countries which always
have to buy wheat must this year buy
370,000,000 bushels, while the countries
raising more than they consume will have
about 295. 100000 to sell. The storms of
the past week have greatly damaged
wheat in England.
The great wheat producing country of
France, which was thought a week ago
would import 6S000,000 bushels, will now
have, it is estimated, to import 1000, 600
to 9O,O0O,000. Algiers cannot supply much
an account of grasshoppers. The best esti-
mates put the surplus of the United States
and Canada at 103,000000, Russia 90,0O0,-
900, India 100000, but all sorts of stories
are coming from Russia, latterly unfavor-
able.
In London bread has gone up one penny
per loaf The potato crop in England and
Ireland is partial failure and great dis
tress is believed to be certain.
The Times, summarizing reports from all
parts of the United Kingdom, says there is
enough wheat for home consumption, bat
not great deal to spare.

WASHINGTON, August 30th-There was a
large attendance at the Republican Sena-
torial caucus at Senator Edmund's resi-
dence tonight, but those present had an
opportunity, besides discussing the tariff, to
partake of an excellent luncheon, with
wine and cigars in abundance. It was
agreed that the Senate Finance Committee

ten days. Notwithstanding a resolution to
this effect was adopted, it is doubtful if the
bill be prepared within the time men.

Chairman Quay, of the National Com.
mittee, was one of those present at the eau
| Gus, and he voted for present action on
the bill. Senator Quay was originally
| opposed to the adoption of any
substitute for the Mills bill but
he is satisfied now that it will not do to
abandon the tariff, and he voted for the
adoption of substitute bv the Senate
Finance Committee for the Mills bill.
The Senate bill will make reduction OF

yond existing rates, and will leave the duty

The fisheries bill to give the President

long letter from Charles S. Litchman of
Philadelphia, Secretary of the Knights of
Lsbor, in which he says Whatever votes
may be cast in secret, the fact remains that
the candidate of either the Republican or
Democratic party will be the next Presi-
dent. Therefore to him who has the
welfare of the people at heart the ne
cessity exists to choose as to which of
these two party organizations shall be
given aid, either directly or indirectly, by
voice or by vote. While it may be that

American system of encouragement and
protection to labor and the wages of our
land-is nearer the declarations and desires
of organized labor than its free trade oppo-
nent, the Democratic party. The theory of
protection advocated by the Republican
party is the same as the underlying princi-
pie upon which all labor organizations are
founded. The friends to organized labor,
who believe in organization as means to
enhance and maintain wages, cannot con-
sistently oppose party that supplies to all
labor some principle of protection from un-
fair competition. l do not hesitate to say

ICopy7g, 1888, by te CGt o'7aia associated Press
WASHINGTON, August 3Oth.-The minor
ity report of the investigation of the Gov
ernment Printing Office was presented by
DR.. Gallinger today. It commences BY
denying that the investigation was sought
by the Republicans, and is made up of de-
mails of the charges made against Mr.
Rounds, and of counter-charges against
MIR. Benedict 1t takes issue with the ma
jority in every finding. The Government
Printing Office is alleged TO be marked by
incompeteEcy and partisanship, such as to
justify grave apprehensions on the part of
Congress. The treatment of Union SOL
diers, widows and orphans of soldiers,
skilled and competent mechanics and other
employees of the office has been shameful.
and of itself justifies his summary removal.
Cases of fagrant violation of the Civil Serv-
ice Act are numerous. He concludes ::
- Enough gross violations of the Law and
evidences of incompetency are shown by
the testimony to warrant the immediate re-
moval from office of the Public Printer

A big part of the report treats of private
work done at the Government Printing
Office. Among other things it is said that
the testimony shows beyond doubt that a
series of speeches made by President Cleve-
land in various cities on his business trip
in the autumn of 1887, had been printed in
advance in the Government Printing Office,
in clear violation of the law.
