HOUSE.
WASHINGTON. July Son motion of Mr..
Baker of New York the senate amendments
were concurred in to the house bill for the
admission of the State of Wyoming.
The speaker having laid before the house
the senate bill to adopt regulations for pre-
venting collisions at sea, Mr.. Dingley of
Maine argued for its immediate passage.
Mr.. Cannon OF Illinois asked him to with
draw his motion as he had report to make
from the committee on rules relative to the
original package bill. He thereupon asked
the bill be printed and remain upon the
speakers table.
Mr.. Cummings of New York objected,
saying that the saving of life at sea was
more important than passing bill for the
Denent OF prOnlDltlOn crankS.
The bill having been read Mr.. Dingley
explained that the purpose of the bill was
the adoption OF signals to prevent collisions
at sea, which had been unanimously adopt
ed by the International marine confer
ence. Members of the conference were of
the opinion that the code of signals pro-
vided for in the bill would prove moro eff
iective than any other that could be de-
vised.
The previous question was then ordered
and the bill passed by a vote of 125 to 40.
Mr.. Cannon, from the committee on
rules, reported u resolution providing that
Immediately after the adoption of the reso-
luton it shall be in order for the commit
tee on Judiciary to call up for consideration
the original package bill and afterwards the
bankruptcy bill, this order to continue from

ENGLAND.
THE METROPOLITAN police.

LONDON, July 8.-Quietness prevails
throughout the entire metropolitan police
this morning. None of the men have
gone on strike.
Two members of the police force who
were taken into custody for assaulting
superior officers yesterday have been
sentenced to fourteen days imprisonment.
The men are weake ling. They have ro
organization and it isn't likely they will at
tempt to enforce their demands by strike.
1t is probable, however, that further isola,ed
disturbances may occur. The constables
who were dismissed for their connection
with the present troubles are petitioning
the authorities for reinstatement
This mornings newspapers are unani~
nous in condemnation of the police strike,
which sentiment Is shared by the public
generally. Public opinion has condemned
Sir Edward Bradford's arbitrary policy
since his appointment as chief commis-
sioner of police, but is overwhelmingly fav
orable in its estimate of his conduct yester-
day. On all sides his course is applauded
and nobody questions its necessity. The
agitators of the strike were mainly novices
who had everything to gain and nothing to
lose The veterans of the force hesitated
to sacrifice the benefits and advantages of
their past long service by following the
lead of their hot headed brothers, and
their hesitancy in The future will
certainly be great aid. 1t is unquestion-
ably to the judgment of the older man in
the service that the failure of the strike is
due.
Ter thousand dock laborers and worSmen
parade d the streets of Cardiff yesterday,
carrying banners and accompanied by
bands of music. Speeches were made de-
nouncing employers.
The liberals of Rosendale believe that
Lord Harrington will soon enter hecabinet
as a means of preventing collapse. The
government is making preparations to con-
test his seat in parliament when he shall
seek the endorsement of his constituents.
The Barrow election has encouraged the
Rosendale liberals to believe that Lord
Harrington can be beaten by strong can
didate, and they are eBdeayoring to induce
Mr.. Blackpool the Cotton King to accept
the candidacy.

WASHINGTON, July THE senate has re-
fused to take up the tariff bill Yeas, 20;
nays, %.
The conference report on the consular
and diplomatic appropriation bill was pre-
sented and agreed to.
The senate bill for the conveyance to the
Rio Grande Junction railway company of
certain lands In Laredo IN lieu of Other
lands conveyed by the company TO the
| United States was reported and placed on

Senator Morrill, moved that the senate
| proceed to the consideration of the tariff

Consideration of the two shipping bills
was resumed.
Senator Reagan spoke against the bills
and at the close of his remarks the election
bill was received from the house and was
ordered TO lie on the table until the return
| to Washington of the cltairman of the com
mittee on privileges and elections.
Senator Morgan opposed the shipping

Senator Sherman presented the confer

HOUSE.
Mr.. Dorsey of Nebraska moved to sls-
pend the rules and pass concurrent reso-
luton requesting the president to return to
the house the bill extending the time of
payment to the purchaser of land of the
Omaha tribe of Indians in Nebraska. Mr.
Breckenridge of Kentucky made the point
OF order that it was not in the power of the
house, under the constitution, to recall a
bill that had passed and been sent to the
president. The bill was in the hands of the
president, and he could sign it, allow it to
become a without his approval or veto it,
MIR. Dorsey stated that the only object in
asking for return of the bill was to cor
rect an error. MIR. Rogers of Arkansas
said that he understood the fear was that
the president would veto the bill unless it
were chenged in certain particular.
Mr.. Cannon of Illinois concluded that the
motion was in order and Mr.. Mcmillan ar
gued that there was no constitutional pro-
vision for it.
The speaker stated that the proposition
before the house was TO suspend the rules
and pass concurrent resolution asking the
president to return a bill. Such action had
been taken by both houses so many times
it would be a singular thing for any one to
deny the right now as to the constitutional
question involved, that was the point for the
house and not for the chair to decide. He
theresore overruled the point of order.
Mr.. Cultivate of OHIO, demanded
second consideration and the Democrats re-
fusing to vote left the house without
quorum. Mr.. Dorsey thereupon withdrew
the motion on motion of Mr.. Payson of
Illinois. The house went into q committee
of the whole for consideration of the senate
bill to forfeit certain lands heretofore
granted for the purpose of aiding the con-
struction of railroads with house Substitute
therefor.
Mr.. Payson supported the bill and Mr..
Stone of Missouri, opposed it, and pending
further debate the house adjourned.

THE WOOL MEN VERY MAD
Oh Account of Senator Hale's Amendment to
the Mckinley Bill

tne MChlnley Bill.
ST. Louis, Mo-, July 5.-Officers of the
Wool Growers National association are
closely watching the course of legislation
at Washington. Yesterday at Mount Yer.
non, Ohio, the home of the president, Hon
Columbus Delano, they prepared an address
to the constituents on the subject, which is
furnished to the Associated Press by Mr.
Geo. III. Wallace, secretary of the national
association, and the recently appointed
consul general to Melbourne. 1t is as fol-
lows:
To the wool growers of the United States
Our duty requires us to advise you OF
dangers to your industries that demand at
tention.
l. Senator Hale's amendment to the Nc
Kinley bill, if adopted will admit wool free
of duty from all the nations of this temis-
phere. Mr.. Clevelands free wool recon-
mendation was no worse. South American
wool would supplant domestic woods, and
your industry would perish. The Republi-
can platform would be violated, the princi-
pies of protection surrendered and the pro-
oduCtion of wool necessary for clothing in
the United States would be transferred to
foreign nations.
2. The amendments threatened to be
proposed in the senate when the bill
is on its passage first to strike out the clause
prohibiting sorting of woods thus permitting
the clothing position of third class woods to
be separated and imported at third class
duties. Again to strike out the words Gin
Guiding charges" thus raising the dividing
line and permitting under the system of
fraud now practsed the importation of all
third class wool at the lowest rate of duty
These amendments were presented to
kl,,f f,Nn ~
agreement of April "a, when the restrictive
classes and the words "incuding changes"
were unanimously assented to by the man
ufacturerS in consideration of our asserting
to ad valorum rates for third class wool.
We obtained notice that such amendments
would be offered on the day before the bill
was reported to the senate aud FASTENED to
remon strate in writing. The amendments
were not made, but the right was reserved
and member of the committee informed
us they would be presented in the senate.
We have yielded all that can safely yield
in justice to our industry to secure general
protective legislation. Any of the amend
ments referred TO are dangerous. The
Hale amendment would work absolute
ruin. Its adoption violates the promise to
give wool adequate protection and dis
credits the faith ard honor of the Republi-
can party. Either of the other amendments
will perpeluate aud.lent practices in the
importation of carpet woods whereby our
producers of clothing would have been
robbed of the protection which the law
was supposed to afford.
We have thus briefly presented the diff
culties and dangers which threaten the
most important industry of the nation and
which must be protected if our protective
policy survives. We call for your immedi-
ate action as individuals and as an associa-
ton, to give notice to those rep esenting

defendant companies levy and collect for
transportation of flour from st. L'uis and
other Northern and Western points to
points in Texas a greater rate than they
charge for the transportation of wheat be-
tween the same points, making a ditferen-
tial rate between wheat and oats and man.
ufactured flour of SC or more per hundred
pounds that this differential is an unjust
and illegal discrimination against the COM
plainants.
The defendants in their answer deny that
this differeptial rate is unjust or unreason-
able, but hold that it ought to be greater
than it is, because of the increased cost of
handling flour over that of handling wheat
1t is also alleged in behalf of certain COM
panies that there are large numbers OF flour
manufacturing mills in Texas and that if
the roads were to charge he same trans
portation of wheat and grain from Kansas
and Missouri points to Texas points as for
flour, the Texas mills would be
n those States and would
oe run at loss or have to retire from bust
ness. The Texas mills appear in the case
as intervenors in support of the position of
the railway companies. They deny that
the Kansas and Missouri millers are en-
titled to an equal rate ON wheat and -four,
but that on the contrary these mills are at
a decided disadvantage as compared with
Northern millers and that the difference
between wheat and houI should be more
than 10 cents. A number of witnesses were
called on both sides.
Mr.. Daniel Ripley, general freight agent
of the Houston and Texas Central railway
testifies that the dtferentjal between
wheat and flour had existed over ten years.
The differential was originally as high as
40 per cent and had been gradually lower
ed TO its uresent rate. The reasons for the
differences was in the value of wheat and
flour, the cost of service.

Giant Powder.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July Sat Mil
ford, Utah, yesterday lot of giant powder
exploded at the railroad depot without any
known cause. The shock was terrific, the
freight house being almost torn 10 pieces.
In an instant the entire building was on
fire and efforts to save it were truitless. The
loss is heavy, amounting to many thousand
dollars. The wind was blowing hard and it
was only by prolonged and vigorous efforts
that the round house and long train of
cars were saved. There were several mar
row escapes and some persons hurt, but no
one seriously.
