ENaLAND's ROYAL GRANTS.
A Generous Increase for the Prince of
Wales Recommended.


LONDON, July 22-In the House Of Com
mons to-day Rt. Hon. w. Il. Smith, the
government leader, laid on the table the
report of the committee on royal grants.
The report recommends that goo be added
to the quarterly allowance OF the Prince of
Wales The report maintains the right of
the queen to ask parliament to make fur
ther provision for her grandchildren. The
debate on the report was postponed until
Thursday.
Mr.. Labouchere, in the debate on the
grant to tae Princess Louise on the occasion
of her marriage to the Earl of Fife, moved
the rejection of the report of the committee
and to substitute therefor an address to
the queen reciting, among other things,
that The sums already voted by parliament
to the royal family should be amply sutti-
cient for all their proper purposes, and that
II further supplies are needed they ought to
be provided through retrenchment OF the
expenses of the royal family, and not by
fresh demands upon the taxpayers. 1t will
be the keeneSt party struggle of the session.
The refusal of the government to accede
to the proposal made by Mr.. Gladstone, 70
deprive the queen of the right to make
further demands upon parliament, led Mr..
MOrloy aud the other liberals in the commit
tee to vote against increasing the allowance
of the Prince of Wales. The differences among
tie liberal groups on this question have
been arranged. and solid opposition, sup
ported by some hberal-unionistS, will con-
front the government. 1t is not likely that
Mr.. Gladstone will take a prominent part
in the debate.
Mr.. Gladstone, although he censured the
government for its attitude, voted with the
majority Of the committee on the grants
The report of the committee advises that
at the proper time law be passed provid-
ing that future soverelgns shall have nc
claim to parliamentary provision for their
grandchildren.

gether Unfounded.
M1NAsHA, WIS, July 22-During the
past two years people have at various times
claimed to have seen sea serpent in Lake
AIinnebago. Others who saw the alleged

instances atfidavits to the truth of the
claim were made. 1t is now

ground for the stories told. Saturday
afternoon while two boys were spear1ng
frogs near the lake, they saw the monster
IN shallow water. Assistance was sum-

BATTERED DOWN BY BOATS.
Open Warfare Between Railroad and
Steamboat Men IN Ohio.

steamboat Men IN OHIO.
PrTTsBURG, July GA special from
Steuoenville, O., says: "As has been antici-
pated for the past week, the Pan Pandle
Railroad Company and the Ohio river
steamboatmen collided this morning. The
railroad company recently received per-
mission from the Secretary of War to close
up the channel of the river at the Steuben-
vile bridge for the purpose Of replacing the
enamel span. The river men appealed in
VAN to the Secretary of War to have the
permit revoked. When the coal flost arrived
at the bridge this morning they found the
Channel almost entirely filled with heavy
piles arranged in bents. There was a short
consultation, and then without advising the
men at work in the channel of their inten-
tIon, the coal boat Advance, with three
barges abreast, came at full speed upon the
Pile bents breaking down twenty y-hve of
them, breaking the pile driver barge loose
from 4ts moorings and badly damaging it.
A NARROW ESCAPE.
The men ON the barge had narrow
escape from being drawn under the tow,
and work WIS Immediately suspended
Hardly had they time to recover from
their escape, when another boat, the
Pacific, came down by the same route and
took away thirty-five more of the piles,
leaving over half Of the channel clear for
the following boats. Immediately after
this the railroad company ordered the con-
struction Of large apron piers above the
bridge. which will effectually close
the chanuel for boats The
railroad and steamboat men are equally
determined To enforce their rights IN the
premises, and tho outcome will create in
tense interest along the Ohio and among
river men generally, as the serious trouble
threatened will demand the Interference Of
the government to settle, whether the rail-
road has right to impede river navigation
that its own trains may run uninterrupt-
edIyu
