GRAND OLD GLADSTONE.
He Puts in a Kind Word 70
America in Paris.

PARIS, Sept. S.-Mr. Gladstone this
morning attended service at the church
to which the attaches of the British en-
bassy are accustomed to go. He said
to-day to reporter of Galignani's Mes
senger: ~ have come over to Paris for
a special purpose. l am too old to
travel merely for the sake Of the pleas
ure travel affords. l have come in order
to show good will and respect to
France" In his speech at the banquet
yesterday Mr.. Gladstone, in referring
to the rapid increase of population
in America, said: IL wish to recog-
nize Americas right to be con-
sidered, prospectively at least, and
even now to some extent, the great
organ of the powerful English tongue.
/ wish also to indulge in feelings Of sat-
isfaction On rejecting that no cause on
earth, unless our own folly, now or
hereafter, ought to divide us from one
another or revive those causes of hon.
orable or less honorable contention that
have heretofore prevailed among u.s."
On Mr.. GIadStOne'S invitation. Mr..
Tuck, one of the American commission
ers to the exhibition, replied in clever
speech. The French newspapers eX-
press themselves as delighted with Mr..
GladStOne'S speech.

BY WAY OF THE GULF.
Charles Francis Adams Proposed
New Grain Route

FORT WORTH, Tex, Sept. s.-A spe-
cial train, bearing Charles Francis
Adams, president of the Union Pacific,
and other officials, arrived in Fort
Worth last evening. At a banquet
given by the board OF trade, Mr. Adams,
in response to toast, 'The Union Pa
cifc Railway and its Line to the Gulf"
said the Union Pacific wanted to send
the products of the Northwest to the
markets of Europe, and he had no con-
cealment to make as to the object of his
visit. The operation of the interstate
commerce law so hampers all the rail
lines to and from the great markets of
this country that he had come to see
if the business of the Union Pacific
could not be done more satisfactorily
by line through Texas to the gulf
than by Chicago and Duluth. Like the
Jews of old. he and his party had come
to spy out the land, and they were
satisfied. 1t was more than probable
that the old route of traffic would give
way to a new. General Superintendent
Duncan. of the Fort Worth & Denver,
and President Paddock, Of the Fort
Worth & Rio Grande. were afterward
in close conference with Mr.. Adams
and Mr.. Holcomb. vice president of the
Union Pacific. The party subsequently
went to Denver.

QUESTION OF QUORUM
The Republican Congressional
Majority Promises to Be
of Little Use,
And Democratic Filibusters
Are Likely to Have a Pic
mic This Winter.
The Men From the New States
Will Not Mend Matters
Much.
Indications Point to a Quorum
About Once in a
Month.

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-The Post to-
day, specializing about the disadvan-
tages the Republicans will labor under,
with their slim majority in the next
house of representatives, says: "If the
next congress were called into session
forthwith the Republicans would have
majority of three. This is not very
large, and it disappears almost entirely
when the question of quorum is raised.
There are 325 members of the house,
and it requires 163 members to cOnsti-
tute a quorum. AS the Republicans
have.164 altogether, the absence of two
members would place them at the mercy
of the minority, if the minority chose to
obstruct business by not voting. The
journal could not be adopted if the
point of no quorum were raised, provided
the minority did not vote. ALI the re-
sources of the party could not keep a
quorum in the house fifteen minutes IL
one were secured and the doors not
locked. The most careless observ-
or of legislative proceedings can see
that the Republican majority is not a
majority at all, except for such mo-
mentous purpose as electing speaker,
when the attendance of every member
can be secured. The fact that work.
ing majority in the face of opposition
from the minority does not exist is OBJ
viOus. The suggestion therefore comes
that it is policy to wait until the con-
greSsmen from the new states appear
with their certificates, and the Repub-
lican majority is
SWELLED TO SIX.
"The presumption is that when the
membership of the house is increased
to $50 by the admission of the five new
cOngressmen yet to be elected, four will
be added to the Republican aud one to
the Democratic column, making the
relative strength of the two parties in
the house of representative 168 Repub-
icans to 162 Democrats. A little figur-
ing will show that the situation will
not be bettered much even with this
increased Republican majority. With a
membership of $50 it will require 166 to
constitute quorum. Assuming that
the minority for obstructive purpose de-
clines to vote, the Republicans will be
compelled to produce 166 out of a total
16S membership. Three absentees on
the side of the majority place it hope
lessly at the mercy of the minority, and
all changes in rules that can be regu-
larly made will not affect the constitu-
tional requirement as regards quo
rum. A quorum cannot be produced
once in a month with such a small ma
jority in the event of the minority fill
bastering. In the last congress the
Democrats had experience in that direc-
tion. Their majority over the Repub-
licans and Independents combined was
eleven. One of the Independents acted
uniformly with the Democrats, and
practically their majority was increased
to that extent. Yet on the most i'm
portant occasion it was an awful task to
get quorum when the Republicans re-
fused to VOTE"

IN THIRTEEN INNINGS
The Athletics Win q Peculiar
Game at GlOuceSter

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 8. - It took
thirteen innings to decide the Athletic
Louisville game at Gloucester Point to-
day. The fielding on both sides was
first-class, Raymond, Tourney, Bier
bauer, Fennelly and Graham especially
distinguishing thems elves by the char
acter and number of the chances they
accepted. The visitors did nothing
with Mcmahon until the eighth, when
they knocked out two runs and secured
the lead. The Athletics tied the score
in their half of the ninth, and made
three in the twelfth. Louisville de-
yeloped batting streak in the last half
of the twelfth and scored three runs on
Tomney's base on balls, Shannon's and
'Flanagan's doubles and Vaughn's sim
gle. The Athletics made the winning
run on Welch's and Larkin's doubles.

WITH A COUPLING PIN
A Brakeman Keeps Armed
TramDs in a Refrigerator.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, Sept. s.-Train-
men on the Chicago & Alton railroad
have been troubled a great deal of late
by tramps. Last night three of that
nomadic species boarded a train at
Joliet. Edward Brennan, brakeman,
put them off, whereupon they fired
several shots at him. The three tramps
then got aboard another freight,
which was following the one Brennan
was on. James Robinson, a brakeman
on this train, had heard of the trouble
Brennan had, and lured the tramps into
the ice chest on an empty refrigerator,
and attempted to lock them in, but
found the fastening to the trap door on
the top of the car broken. In order to
hold the tramps, Roberts was obliged
to throw his weight on the door.
When the tramps learned they were
in the tolls, they endeavored
to get out, and Roberts was obliged to
fight them all the way to this city, a
distance of about seventy miles. The
tramps would partly raise the door on
which Roberts sat and point revolver
through the opening. They fired several
shots, but Roberts kept out of range of
the bullets. In order to prevent the
tramps escaping he was obliged to
hammer them back with a coupling pin.
This morning he landed them in this
city and they were taken in charge by
the police.

sHIPBUILDING PLANTS.
Important Recommendations Ex'
pected From Secretary Tracy.

Important Recommendations Ex-
pected From Secretary Tracy.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 81, is generally
expected at the navy department that
Gen. Tracy will recommend in his an
nual report to congress an appropria-
ton of about S5OO,OOO for putting ship
building plants in the navy yards.
About 100000 has already been ex-
pended at each of the yards at New
York and Norfolk and smaller sum at
Mare Island. A large share of the pro-
posed new appropriation will 90 to Bcs-
ton and Portsmouth. About S150.000 is
the estimate for an effective plaut, and
probably this sum will be spent at each
OF the New England yards if congress
approves the recommendation of the
secretary OF the navy. There would be
special advantages i'll building
and repairing vessels at Bos-
ton, because of the skilled me-
chanics who live there and the close
vicinity of machine shops and fOundries.
1t has been found diticult to get good
ironwOrkers and carpenters to go to
Norfolk and work because of the dis
advantages of their social position and
the lack of such amusements and schools
as they have in Boston and Philadel-
phia. The policy of the navy depart
ment is to have good plants available at
all the leading navy yards even though
many of the new cruisers are built in
private yards. To have yards under the
direct control of the government is con-
sidered essential in war time, because
private contractors could not be relied
upon to make repairs and they would
have the government at their mercy as
to prices. The machinery used in the
manufacture of large war ships can
now be produced in this country. When
Secretary Whitney was making his
plans four years ago this was not the
case, but the stimulus given to iron ship
building by the policy of the govern
ment had led the largest manufacturers
of tools to do work equal to that of the
European fOundrieS.

MCINTOSH, Minn., Sept. s.-Early
Friday morning Ole HoftO, well-to-do
farmer living a mile and half from

his horses. The well was fifteen feet
deep and three feet in circumference at
the bottom, and there was about two
feet of water in it. The well was
boarded up about one and one-half feet
from the ground and covered. The
force of the fall drove his head into the
mud up to his shoulders, and he must

were visible above the water, and it
was about half an hour before sufficient
help could be obtained to draw him to

RESULT OF A RIOT,
One Killed and Several Injured
in a Free Fight.


WILMINGTON, Del, Sept. s.-Last
night race riot broke out in the lower
part of New Castle, locally known as
Dobbinsville, between gangs of Irish
men, Poles and SlavackS employed in
the Tasker iron works, in the course of
which a Hungarian named Francis r.
Jankovisky was shot in the heart and
instantly killed by some one of the Irish
rioters, and an Irishman named Owen
KaVanagh was stabbed in ten or eleven
places by an unknown Hungarian. Kav-
anagh will recover. The rioting was
the outcome of bad feeling that had ex-
listed between the different natiOnalities
ever since the entrance of Poles and
Slavacks into the mills, nearly two
years ago. Thirty-three of the SlaVackS
have been arrested, and warrants will
be issued for the Irish participants,
who, in preliminary hearing before
Mayor Hanson this afternoon, showed
they were the aggreSSorS. The evidence
thus far indicates that Jankovisky was
trying to escape from several intoxi-
Gated Irish rioters when one of the lat
ter fired shotgun, the load passing
through Jankovisky'S heart. Five Irish
men, two Hungarian men and Hun
garian woman also received wounds
from gunShOt and missiles in the melee.

WHO KILLED WURSTER?
His Body Found Mangled in a
Pool of Water.

EVANSVILLE, O.. Sept. 8.-This morn
ing about o'clock the body of Charles
Wurster, rolling mill hand, aged forty
five, was found in pool of water at the
bottom of the elevator shaft at a new
building in Court alley. His forehead,
eyes and nose were crushed to a jelly,
and he was only identified by his cloth
ing. He was sober, industrious
laborer, with wife and seven chill
dren, and was working to pay for his
home. When last seen at 10 o'clock
last evening he was all right, and foul
accused of having threatened him harm.
His clothes were unbuttOned, but this
is looked upon as blind, as the prOba-
bic hour of night and the location of the
building throws more suspicion on the
theory of murder.
