ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES.
Proceedings of Congress.
WASHINGTON, D. O.. July 8.
SENATE,


Messages from the President as to postal
ANA cable communication between the Uni
ted States and the Latir American States /;
and rs to the celebration of the fourth cen
teunial of the discovery CT America were
presented and referred.
Mr.. Allison, moved that the adjournment
to-day be till Monday.
Mr.. e imunds and Mr.. Sherman opposed
the motion and Mr.. Plumb and Mr.. Cor
man advocated 1t; and 1t was agreed to.
Among the bills reported from committees
and placed on the calendar were the follow.
Ing:
House bill to discontinue the coinage of
the 50 and 81 gold Pieces and of the 8 cent
nickel piece.
House bill to provide for new design Of
authorized devices Of United States coins.
Mr.. Sherman offered resolution instruct
Ing the committee on public buildings and
grounds to inquire into the expediency of
purchaaing the Mailby House corner of
New jersey avenue and B street. for the use
of the Senate.
Mr.. Butler suggested that the Secretary Of
he Interior report, II he knows, why the
Senate does not act en- the report of the Pa
ciio railroad. He said "for some GAUSS which
am unable to understand, the Senate does
not consider it, I suppose the caucus has
acted on it,
Mr.. misunderstanding to the croes
observation OF the Senator from South Caro-
lina 1 say that the caucus has not acted
onit
Mr.. Butler-The Senator speaks of my
being cross am as amiable az May
morning.
Mr.. Elmunds Certainly, but when the
Senator Ia the most amIable be Ia generally
the most cross. To the best OF my knowl-
edge and belief. no assemblage, or other ar
rapgement or discussion, of republican, has
had any relation to or consideration of the
subject to which the Senator refers. Speak
ing as one republican, now, and not for the
rest of our gradually diminishing numbers, l
wish to say that think that the trouble has
been that Senators on this side have not
stood by caucus action.
At p. m. the unfinished business was
taken up, being the two postal and ship
subsidy bills.
HOUSE.
Mr.. Lodge, OF Massachusetts, asked for 8
re. print of the federal election bill, as pass

Mr.. Rogers retorted that the House had
had enough of the bill whereupon
Mr.. Houk, of Tennessee, suggested that
the democrats might get more OF 1t.
The request was not acceded to.
Mr.. McComas, of Maryland, presented

lumb;a appropriation bill.
After debate, and pending vote on The
conference report. the House, at las, ad
journed till Monday.

The NOMINATION of MIR. Pattison f1r
Governor of Pennsylvania by the democratic
convention OF that State yesterday, was the
wisest thing that could have been done. 1t
had no reference whatever to the Cleveland
or anti Cleveland feeling In the State. but
was made in order to give the right thinking
people of Pennsylvania, no matter with
what political organization they may atf1l-
ate, an opportunity of voting against ooss
rule, by setting up conspicuous ant'-boss
rule man against Boss Qiay S nominee. The
result will show whether the republicans of
the Keystone State are ss much opposed to
boss rule as those of Virginia proved them
selves to be last November.

As ANTICIPATED, the federal election bill,
that is deliberately intended to create and
foment trouble and disturbance in the
South, became law last night, 80 far at
least as the power to make it such lay with
the republican q. s. House OF Representa-
tlyes. AS the President is known to be one
of its most ardent advocates, whether it
shall or shall not become a law depends en-
tirely now upon the republican U. S. Sen
ate-a poor dependence, it must be contest
ed, in view of the action of that body in the
Montana case. Sill, as many of the repub
licsn Senators are desirous OF leaving Wash
ington as soon as possible, as their personal
convenience is of vastly more Importance to them
than national legislation, and as the bill would
necessarily bring on debate that would last posi-
bly, until lste in tho fall it is hardly probable 1t
will be taken up by the Senate at this session.

AN ARMY LOCKED OUT.
TsA Thousand Hat Trimmers Thrown
 Out of Work To-Day.

TsA Thousand Hat Trimmers Thrown
 Out of Work To-Day.
 DANBURY, Conn, Nov. 17.-The fur hat manufacturers closed their factories to members of the Trimmers' Union this morning.
 As all hats have to pass through the hands of the trimmers the manufactur- ers' action will throw about 10, 900 people ont of work at once.
 The trimmers are firm and say they are determined not to recede from their posi- tion. The probabilities are that there will be long and bitter fight.
 All the factories have plenty of orders on hand, and if the lockout continues very long it will be a severe blow to the prosperity of Danbury, as hating IS the only industry in the city.
 To-day the finishers' and makers asso- citations will decide whether they will support the trimmers. If they decide to do so it will be difficult to predict the out come. But if the other associations de- eide not to sustain the trimmers in their demands the manufacturers will probably win the fight in 8 few days.
 The number of factories in the lockout is IS, and nearly 25,000 people are de- pendent on them for support.

Hiram HaIpin's Fatal Fall Under the
 Car Wheels.

 Car Wheels.
 Hiram Halpin, passenger brakeman on the New England road, was run over and killed almost instantly Saturday night about Il o'clock at Hartford. Halpin had come in on the 10:50 train from Boston, on which he was 'ttair' brakeman, and all the passengers being discharged he had given the signal for it to back out, the train going no farther. After giving the signal Halpin moved back a few steps before getting on to the platform, and ran into an Adams Express truck which was standing there. The platform was slippery and the collision knocked him off his feet and under the wheels of the approach ing train.
 The wheels of the rear truck passed over him, cutting his right arm off at the shoulder and cutting his head. The train was stopped and the mangled body drawn out, but before medical help could be had Halpin was dead.
 fialpin was 2S years old and had worked for the company twelve years. Until three months ago he had been a freight brakeman, but at that time he had his fingers smashed while coupling some freight cars at Hawleyville. He had just recovered the use of his hand, and being unable to do freight work had been put in the passenger service. Halpin had been married about five years and leaves a wife and child, who live at Rockville. He came originally from Danbury, where his father and mother are still living.

Nearly thirty ne Sunday schools have been established in neglected nsighbor- hoods. These have membership of about six hundred persons and most of them still continue and prosper.

TWO LADS FROM NoRwALK.
Supposed to Be Looking For Indians
 and Buffalo Somewhere.

ana buHalO somewhere.
 If you catch anyone hunting buffalo or Indians in your back yard hold on to him and send word to Aquila Green wood, chief of detectives, Norwalk, Conn, if your prisoner fits either of these descriptions:
 One boy, il years old, short and dressed in a new suit of clothes and a bicycle cap.
 One boy, '15 years old, 5 feet tall, brown hair, brown eyes, dark suit of clothes and a blue bicycle cap.
 Both, are fully armed for adventure. They have pistols, knives, belts. cart ridges, and gun, and it is supposed that they have something left of $442 they did. Between the loss of the money and the loss of the boys two families in Norwalk are in a state of considerable anxiety. The bigger boy has been in the habit of answering to the name of William Seigel. He lived 1 in Berkeley street, Norwalk. The younger is son of John H. Rowe, a contractor and builder, who lives at 16 Spring hill. His full name is John l William Rowe.
 | The two boys had been reading Indian tales. A few days ago some one paid S1, 800 to Mir Rowe. He put the money in desk. Last Friday the desk was broken open. The burglars were evidently disturbed. They fled and scattered. $l 400 in big notes along the hallway.
 The small Rowe was not suspected un- til he failed to appear for supper. MT Rowe got on his sons trail almost as soon as he began to hunt for him. He and young Siegel had been changing S100 notes in stores around town and making purchases In one place they intuition. in another a suit of clothes, and in a third some lockets to put scalp locks in. They started in to buy a double bicycle, too. They paid $75 down and took tEe machine out for a trial, but they concluded that it wasn't adapted to work on the plains, and re- turned it. They left Norwalk Friday night.

 MAYS LANDING, N. J., Nov. 17.-George W. Hamilton, son of ex-Sherif Robert Hamilton, has been sued by Miss Anna M. Powell, of Tuckahoe, N. J., for $25, ,00G damages for breach of promise. Both parties are of high families, and the affair has created 8 great sensation in the county.
 For the past eight years MT. Hamilton has been 8 frequent visitor to Miss Powell's abode, and their love for each other was apparently very deep. Several days ago, to the great surprise of Miss Powell, she received curt note, in which her lover stated that he had ceased to care for her and that the engagement was irksome to him, and must, therefore, be considered off. Miss Powell's father learned of the affair and brought the suit

"Wife for Wife" will be presented at the opera house this evening. Of the play the Washington Critic says: The story is laid in the south, the time before the war, when the southern gentleman was like the feudal chief of the middle age and the slave like his serf. The characters are typical of that era. Mir Stevens plays the part of Edward Wal ton with the ease and grace of the true southern gentleman. Although a play of the intense order, there is plenty, al most too much comedy in it.

Judge Cowell's Decision Tn the Case
 Against Fred R. Swift.


 Against Fred R. Swift.
 Judge Cowell this morning rendered his decision in the case against Fred R. Swift, accused of publishing a paper de- voted principally to deeds of bloodshed, lust or crime. "I have looked over the paper pretty carefully" said Judge Cow ell, "and have also examined two New York dailies of the same date, both of which contain many columns Of crlml- nal news, current events from all over the country. It is claimed on behalf of the defense that a paper to be guilty under the statute must be made up largely of articles dealing in crime, bloodshed and lust that majority of columns must come under the statute. The state claims that it is the general character and moral tone of the paper that brings it within the purview of the statute, and not the number of columns of impure matter it publishes. The question now is this : Whether this par ticular issue of the Herald can be said to be principally devoted to crime or lust. The Herald can not be called a paper of high morals, although l do think they are doing a good work in exposing Morrow of Bridgeport. Several columns are objectionable and nasty, yet don't think that jury would decide that this issue of the paper comes under the pro vision of the statute. therefore hnd the accused not guilty"

Shot and Instantly Killed.

ham, aged 16, of Cotuit, was shot and in stantly killed at that place by Rowland Burrows, aged 21. It seems that Bur rows has recently come into possession of a shotgun, with which he has blazed away at nearly everything he saw while on his daily trips as vender of milk. While at Cotuit Burrows went into a barn where Lapham was husking corn and deliberately pointing the gun at Lap hams head fired. The shooting is claimed to have been accidental. Bur rows has not yet been arrested.
