AN UNHAPPY FAMILY.
Third District Democrats Fight
ing Each Other.
THE SNYDER ANDERSON ROW,
Which May Cause Hopeless Split
Elect u Republican Congressman
and Defeat MFR. Kcnna for the
United States Senate.

WASHINGTON, D. G., July 5.-Therc is
state Of unpleasant feeling among the
Democrats Of the Third Congressional
District of West Virginia, which may
have some effect on the election ol
the Legislature which is to choose Il
successor to Senator Kenna. Repre-
sentative Snyder, OF Kanawha county,
is in his third term and is without
following for nomination for fourth,
but complaint has been made that
Kanawha has one United States
Senator, the Governor, several State
officers and big share OF United
States appointments, and it has lbeen
urged that some other county ought to
have the Congressman from the Third
District. 1t is hinted that the interests
Of Senator Kenna were consulted when
J. D. Anderson, Of Nicholas county, was
brought out in opposition TO Snyder.
Colonel ]. W. st. Clair and Dr.. Me-
Donald, OF Monroe, also declared them
selves in the fight, but Anderson
has the necessary number OF delegates
to nominate him, with u startling pros
pect that there will be open rebellion IN
the party against him. He has captured
nearly every county delegation by chang
ing the method OF selecting delegates.
Insufficient notice has been given OF
county conventions, and many delegates
have been chosen by township meetings,
Anderson having obtained control Of the
party organizations and departed from
the usual methods. 1t is represented
that in Nicholas county the date OF the
county convention was fixed one week
from the time OF the meeting OF the com;
mittee, and the county paper suspended
for one week to keep the notice from
getting circulated. In Logan county
district or township meetings were
held and Alderson delegates elect.
ed before the time officially
named for holding the county
Not to go into further par
ticulars, these were the methods, accord
ing to information received in Washing
ton, by which Anderson has taken pos
session Of the machine. Colonel st. Clair,
q man with a large following, withdrew
from the race and declared he would not
support Anderson, and the Democratic
Convention Of Fayctte county has adopt
ed resolutions to the same purpose. The
minority in the district is
only l,5OO, and the party can not afford
the luxury Of dissensions. The result
may be the nomination OF some man
who has not been mentioned in connec-
ton with the Office. The convention is
to be held at Coal Valley on the l4th OF
August. This ought to give plenty OF
time 10 patch up peace, but according
to present information there Gun be no
neAce with Anderson.

tions OF this convention, to inform them
OF its doings and to pledge to them its
hearty support in the impending cam

SENATOR KESNA,
Of West Virginia, congratulated the as
semblage upon the happy result OF its
deliberations. 1t was time now, he
said, that each member OF the commit
tee should resolve himself into Demo-
cratic campaign committee, and go home

A resolution commencing the re-
election Of Hon. William II. Barnum,
chairman OF the National Committee,

publication and distribution OF the
Presidents message, and OF speeches on

ton, but had been referred to the Com
mittee on Resolutions and remained un-
acted upon, but he was placated when,

A MINORITY REPORT


In Regard to the Veto Power of the
President of the United States.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 5.-Senator
Turpie, in behalf OF the Democratic mi
nority OF the Committee on Pensions,
presented a minority report dissenting
from the views in regard to the veto
power expressed by Senator Davis. The
minority say: We regard with that
power as a qualified negative upon that
OF Congress, not derogatory to their
rights OF action. Neither the power or
its exercise can be an cncroachment
upon the province OF Congress since
both are provided for in the constitu-
ton. Mr.. Storey in his Justly celebrated
letter commenting upon it says: "The
power is important us an additional Sc
Curity against the enactment OF rash,
immature and improper laws Speak
ing OF the action of the Executive
therein, the same author remarks: Ellis
view, if not more wise or more elevated,
will at least be Independent and under
an entirely different responsibility to
the nation from what belongs to Con-
grcss. He is the representative OF the
whole Nation in the aggregate; they are
the representatives only OF distinct
parts"
We do not think the frequency Of the
exercise Of this power upon the subject
of private bills, even il it were legiti-
mate objection thereto, is at all made
out us charged. Out OF the large num-
ber OF such bills very small percent
age have been returned with objections.
The frequency bears n very inc0nsidera-
Bile proportion to the number OF the APP
plcations. AS to the means OF inior-
nation made use Of by the executive as
| a basis for his objections, the President
has certainly the same right to make
use OF the records, files, reports and
opinions OF the Pension Bureau as mem
bers OF Congress. The money OF the
people in the Treasury, out
OF which pensions are paid, is
n fund Of such qualify that
it cannot be guarded too carefully
against immature legislation. The Pres
ident, equally with member OF the
legislative bodies, has the right and duty
imposed upon him to form and express
his opinion with respect to the Justice oi
n pecuniary claim against this fund; be-
ing answerable under his oath and con
science only to the constituency OF the
Nation for his action therein. As to the
merits Of the particular bills recited in
the committee we deem it unnecessary
for us to express an opinion at this time
being willing to do SO at such time II
the question properly arises uDon the
final passage thereof. The report il
signed by Senators Turpie, Blodgett
Faulkner and Wilson, of MARYLAND.

Storm Follows Storm. ParaiyzinE tho Tele-
graph Service.
CHICAGO, July 5.-The almost total
paralysis of the telegraph service west of
Chicago to-day indicates apparently that
the storms OF the past few days, culmi-
mating last night, were the most wide
spread and severest in number OF years.
A great network OF wires covers the
territory stretching to the Rocky Noun
tains, but SO few OF the hundreds OF
lines running in all directions are in
anything like workable condition to.
day, that business with points west Of
here is comparatively at n standstill.
The winds and rains TINT began sweep
ing over the West Saturday had until
last night their worst effects apparently
confined to the territory close to this
city. Yesterday the Western Union
had virtually remedied the trouble,
when last evening the storms seem to
have broken ont with redoubled fury
and played havoc over the entire West.

THE IRON LOCKOUT.
One More Signature To the Scale-A MIL
Resumes with Nomination Men.

PrrrsBuRaH, Pa, July 5.-There were
no more signatures to the Amalgamated
scale up to o'clock this afternoon, and
the general situation was about the same
MS on Tuesday. The steel firm OF Sim
ger, Nimick & Co. made an effort to-day
to start their works with non.union men,
which was quite successful. The works
have been closed for several weeks on
account Of q wage disagreement and the
firm have decided to run the mill indie
pendent of the AmalgImatcd Associa-
ton and Knights OF Labor. Last even
ing Mr.. Singer submitted proposition
to his old men offering to pay the same
wages us demanded by the Amalgama-
ted, but positively refusing to sign any
scale or agreement. A number of4he
men accepted the proposition, and this
morning there was partial resumption
in the steel, hammer, spring, axle, sheet
mill and rolling and heating depart
ments. The firm employs about 500
men when running full, and they expect
to start all departments with full COM
plement Of men in n few days.
Tonight Moorehead 4 Bros, iron
of Sharpsburg, Pa, sign
ed the Amalgamated scale, making six
teen signers so far. The Republic iron
work, Oliver Bros. & Phillips and Carne-
gies' Twenty.ninth and Thirty.third
street mills, started up to-day. None
of the mills, however were in full oper-
ltion, and it will probably be couple
Of weeks before the various firms that

Secretary Martin was seen this after
noon and asked what he thought of the

,ilicial notice that members OF the Asso-
,iation had returned to work.
"That is question for the men to
iettlc," further remarked Secretary Mar
in. "lf they want to resume work and
from the Association they will
iave to put up with the result. The

very conclusively that the

BERLIN, July 5.-Emperor William
will probably start for Russia on the 18th
inst. He will remain in st. Petersburg
four days. The Cars reception of Gen
eral Won Pape is much approved in
political circles here. The Cars letter
to Emperor William is cordial and friend
ly. A German official visited an Acad-
emy at Metz and demanded information
MS to its purposes and utility, and why
it ignored the German language. The
President OF the institution replied that
it was private intellectual resort. A
report has been sent to Berlin, and
further steps are expected in the matter.

illumination of Mount Hood.

PORTLAND, OGN., July 5.-'rhe illumi-
nation of Mount Hood, last night at II
o'clock, proved perfect success. The
illumination was seen very distinctly on
the summit, and continued to burn
brightly for over two half minutes.
The sight was n very brilliant one, and
was seen for radius Of one hundred
miles. All efforts to secure signals from
the party on the mountain proved un-
availing. A letter received To-day from
the party by messenger states that they
encountereda a very heavysnOw storm and
suffered much from the severity OF the
weather.

A FRIGnTFuL ACCIDENT
Resulting In the Death of Two boys.
Burned by Gasoline.

Resulting III the Death of Two Boys.
Burned by Gasoline.
PITTSBURGH, July Sat 8 o'clock
this evening an accident occurred Mt
the Union refinery, this city, that in all
probability will result in the death OF
two boys. 1t seems that q gasoftne still
sprang leak and the contents drained
slowly into sewer that empties
into Corn Planter Run, short distance
below the works. The gasoline soon
covered the surface OF the stream for a
distance OF 800 feet, passing under four
railroad tracks and the highway. In
some manner, the inilammable stuff was
ignited and in al instant the surface was
n mass OF flame, which quickly ran
back to the mouth OF the sewer, where it
was held in check.
Two boys named Cullis were playing
near or in the river Mt the time and both
we're horribly burned. The elder,
aged about fifteen years, was burned
almost to n crisp, the flesh hanging in
shreds from his limbs. His clothing
was entirely burned from his body.
Death is momentarily expected. The
other, n younge! boy, is terribly burned
about the arms, head and face, and his
recovery is extremely doubtful. Two
empty tank cars standing on the track
exploded with terrific force, hurting
pieces OF iron hundreds OF feet in the
air. -Four tank cars were burned and
slight damage done to the railroad
tracks

More Hopeful than Ever Before-br. Pep
per Interviewed.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 5.-Dr. Viii
liam Pepper stated to representative of
AeAssociatedP Press last night that he had
returned Mt o'clock from visit to Gen.
Sheridan ut the Delaware breakwater,
in consultation with his attending ply
sicians. There had been Tuesday re-
turn OF unfavorable symptoms OF en-
barrassed breathing and circulation with
mental confusion. But the measures
which were promptly adopted caused
their rapid subsidence, and reaction oc-
Cured much more promptly than after
any previous attack. Careful examina-
ton showed that no local complication
has developed, and it is clear that the
above transient symptoms were largely
due to the disturbing and fatiguing ai-
fects ofan encounter OF some hours dura-
ton, with quite rough weather before
the shelter OF the breakwater was
reached. This, however, was only u
temporary inconvenience. The ndyant-
ages OF his present position are manifest.
The voyage will be speedily completed it
may be confidently asserted. The sub
stantial improvement in all organic con-
dition remains and the prospects OF
satisfactory progress OF the case is fully
us good MS at any previous time. 1t is
impossible to overcstimate the admirable
advantages provided for him on the
Swatara, which affords him the benefits
OF pure bracing air with all the safety
and comfort OF his home.

who was unavoidably absent. Messrs.
Walker, Window and Mr.. Lathrop made
speeches. Mr.. Window, in the course
OF his remarks referring to the fact that

said was n denial OF popular liberty,
with the Queen Of England's accepting
the crown from Parliament and the
American Presidents accepting office
from the people.
