TO SETTLE THE CANAL QUESTION.
Judge Alvey Fixes u Day for the Final
Hearing of the Cases.

A special to the Baltimore Sun from Annapo-
lis says another step was taken in the Chesa-
peake and Ohio canal cases in the Washington
county court yesterday. The canal company,
through Messrs. Poe and Lanahan, its attor-
neys, Wednesday filed with Judge Alvey petit
ton asking him to set a day for final hearing
in these cases at an early day, and Judge Alvey
accordingly issued order yesterday setting
the 18th day of August next as the day for such
final hearing. The petition filed includes
the last annual report of the president and
directors of the canal to the stockholders,
made last month. also the report OF the
engineers employed by the canal company to ex-
anime the canal and give estimates az TO the cost
OF repairing it. The petition also states that
these reports fully sustain and confirm the re-
port OF the canal receivers. and says that it is
impractcable to repair and operate the canal
with any expectation that 1t i'll the future
earn revenue enough to keep itself liv-
ing concern, and demonstrate that the
interests OF the creditors demand that
further proceedings shall be lad looking to a
disposition under the most favorable condi-
tons of the canal and all its works under the
final decree OF the court.
The same counsel have also filed an order di-
recting the clerk to dismiss the appeal hereto
fore prayed by the canal company.
public meeting was held Tuesday night in
Hancock at which resolutions favoring the
construction of a railroad on the bed of tue
canal were adopted The resolutions also fav-
ored the contamination of the lease passed by
the last legislature

A MONSTER LOCK OUT,
Twenty Thousand People in New York
Thrown Out of Employment.

As stated in The Stars dispatches yesterday
the Clothing Manufacturers Association of
New York have given notice to their one
thousand cutters that they would be locked out
Saturday. The manufacturers say it is a re-
taliatory measure for the boycotting of Alfred
Benjamin & Co., but the workers assert that
the real reason is the organization of a new
association which the manufacturers fear will
attempt to force up prices. This action of the
association, it is said. will cause one Of the
largest lockolts and strikes that has ever af-
fected any single trade in this country Twenty
thousand men and women will be thrown out of
employment, and others throughout the coun-
try will be called out in sympathy.
The total number of of operatives including
tailors. in this city interested in the move is
about Il, 000 none of whom can work without
the cutters
A New York special to the Philadelphia In
qHirer today SAYS: Unless the manufacturers
rescind their order all organized workmen in
the clothing trade in the United States will be
called out The manufacturers assert that
Benjamin Il Co. have been boycotted BY the
knights of Labor for refusing to employ union
men only. The district assembly reported this
several months ago to the national assembly
and the firms Out-of-town trade at once began
to fall off. Last week Secretary Fleischmann
OF the Cloak Manufacturers Association de-
manded of ID. A. No. 23l that the boycott be
withdrawn on or before July z, 1890. No at
tentiOn was paid to the demand and the lock-
out was then ordered by the manufacturers.
The cutters assert that the manufac turers
have reckoned without their host. as the new
association is just as strong all over the coun-
try il is in New York and has the backing of
all Knights of Labor.

IN THE HOUSE YESTERDAY.
The Members Finally Did Some Work
After Wasting Lots Of Time.

Most Of the time of the House was taken up
yesterday in approving the journal of the day
before and IN partisan talk. After Mr.. Enioe
had had the journal corrected as to the state
ment that he was present and had not voted
on the roll call the day before Gas stated in THE
STAR)- Messrs. Fithian and Williams 1lL) tried
to have the journal purged of a similar error
as to themselves. They stated that they we're
not IN the House when their names were called;
that they were not present and not voting; but
the previous question on the approval of the
journal was moved by Mr.. Cameron and the
journal was approved without the correction.
PREsESr AFTER THEIR NAMES HAD BEEN CALLED.
1t appeared that the two members were
present during the roll call after their names
had been called and the action of the House
was probably upon the assumption that they
had gone out of the hall to avoid voting.
Under the rules of the House a roll call is
repeated once and if member is not in the
hail when his name il called on the second call,
but comes in Immediately afterward,s he 8 de-
prived of his right to vote on that call It has
often occurred that member whose name be-
gins with an -, for instance. has come into
the House in haste to vote and has found the
clerk calling the ''W's." However anxious he
II TO vote he cannot be permitted to do so
under these circumstances and being present
during part OF the call he has vet no right to
take part in the proceedings. Messrs. TIthian
and Williams would have been III this position
u they desired to vote. SO they objected to
being counted for quorum when they came in.
TIE BUSINESS END OF THE SESSION.
After this matter vas disposed of the House
concurred in the consular and diplomatic con-
ference report and the conference report on
the agricultural bill.
The land grant fertilization bill was then

COLORED MINERS IN A FIGHT.
A Bloody Battle on a Railroad Train In
West Virginia.

A Charleston, VIVA, special to the Philadel-
phIa Press says: There are grave fears that
serious will break out in the Poca-
hontas and Cromwell mine region, arising out
of a terrible riot occurring train of the
Norfolk and Western railroad on the evening of
July 6. Two or three hundred coiored miners
from Pocahontas had been on an excursion on
the Bluestone branch of the railroad and re-
turning many were under the influence of
liquor. While on the ears some of the colored
men got intoa row with an unknown white man
and were proceeding to cut his throat, when
Detective W. G. Baldwin and three other de-
tectives who were on the train arrived. The
detectives were at once attacked and bloody
riot ensued in the cars. seats being broken TO
pieces and used as clubs. Baldwin was terribly

men were knocked down and one shot in

STARVING WHILE AT SEA.
Terrible Experiences of Seamen on an
East Indian Schooner

Capt Walter Campbell, Of the ship Hoogley
OF Melbourne, was at the maritime exchange in
New York yesterday and has cleared up the
mystery as to the fate Of the schooner Car
melite OF Vancouver, BE-, which sailed from
sydney December q last, and had not since
been heard from. The Hoosley sailed from
Sydney January 80, and in the latter part Of
February sighted the Carmelite flying signal
OF distress. The captain reported that she was
on fire and that they had the matches closed
Capt Campbell set to work to help the Car
melite's crew. For FIVE days and nights the
two crews worked hard at the pumps, but the
flames gained on them, and on the fifth day
burst through the decks, and the intense heat
and the smoke drove the crews over into the
boats. When the two captains saw that the
schooner was lost the Hooglcy set sail for VAL
paraiso.
When about 800 miles from the South Amer
lean coast cyclone came up and they scudded
before 1t under bare poles and were driven far
out OF their course. During this time the pro-
visions and water had been gradually sinking
lower and lower. Rations were reduced and a
half pint OF water was each mans daily allow
ance. Soon the water gave out entirely. The
sufferings of the crew in the fierce heat were
intense. At night sail was spread to catch
the rain which fell and the men tried to Stake
their thirst Small doses of brandy were
served from the captains store. During this
time one of the men grew delirious ard sprang
overheard. Another unfortunate sailor tried
to quench his thirst with salt water and went
mad 1t was only owing to the GOODNESS
OF the two captains, who knew what was
at stake. that the men were prevented. from
numbering one another. Out OF a total crew of
twentyone men only eight could leave their
hunks to work the ship. The provisions ran
out some time after the water supply had gone,
and the men chewed pieces of leather to allie
viate the frightful pangs of starvation. Only
the small store of brandy saved the most of tho
men from DEATH On the 10th of May they
sighted steamer bound for Cape Horn but
she failed to see the Hoogey's signal. At this
time the men could no longer work the ship,
and she was drifting toward the South Ameri-
can coast. However, they were sighted by the
coasting steamer Ell REQ Of the Guano Com
pany, and she went to their assistance, towing
them into the port of Ascencion. There they
received medical attention, but the crew had
to be shipped on to the hospital at Valparaiso.

ENGLAND AND HELlGOLAND.
Lord Salisbury Says the Island is Worth.
less for Strategic Purposes.


In the British house of lords yesterday Lord
Salisbury moved the second reading OF the
Heligoland cession bill He said the island
had been of some service to England during
the struggle with Napoleon. Since then it had
been neither fortified nor defended. and Eng
land never had any intention to fortify it. For
strategic purposes it was worthless. There
was no harbor there and the roads.ed I'M
tenable In northwest winds. Commercially it
was OF small value. In the even. of war ii
would be a distinct disadvantage to Eng
land, having to defend a widely-scattered
empire, to be obliged to keep a naval force
to guard place of no value. There was no

many. They were related by the closet bonds
OF language, race and religion to the Germans.
Their means of livelihood, depending on sum-
mer visitors, would be increased when the
island became part OF Germany. lie could
not admit the doctrine that the decision Of the
population of place occupied for naval and
military purposes ought to be conclusive.
There was the greatest difference between pos
sessions held for the benefit of the population
only and possessions held solely for the pur-
pose of contributing to the defenses Of the en-
pire q whole.
Referring to the African clauses of the con-
vention he contended az long as With was in
VIC u'lnOs VI huOtHoI power EuRllsu interests
northward could be interfered with, but
under the convention there WINS no. chance
of interference until the confines of Egypt
were reached Regarding Zanzibar he urged
that an exclusive English protectorate would
assist in the suppression of the slave trade
and develop the commerce OF England and
India There was no ground for experimenting
4 difficulty over the convention with any Eu-
ropean power. The agreement was necessity,
If only to prevent the dangers of a conflict be-
tween the English and the Germans Both
were animated by energetic desire for ac-
QUESTION. The agreement was a gain to both
sides, each Obtaining what suited its own pur-
pose and neither having an absolute adyan-
tage over the other.
Lord Roseberry said he would not carp over
arrangements that tended to cement England's
friendship with Germany, but he could not
help pointing out that i'll exchange for lIeligo-
land England got responsibilities of protection
rather than of dominion.
Lord Kimberley desired to impress upon the
government the fact that parliament ought not
10 be called upon to ratify the cession of
Hellgoland without assurance that France
would assent to Englands protectorate over
Zanzibar.
The bill passed the second reading without
division

Il. Martin, Methodist preacher. He killed
