In the House.

WASHINGTON, Sept 1.-Stockbridge. of
Missouri, moved to suspend the rules and
pass the bill providing for government in
spection of coal mines in the territories.
Agreed to.
Cooper, of Indiana, rising to question OF
privilege, stated that one of the charges in
the resolution offered by him for an inves-
tigation of the commissioner of pensions
was that the commissioner was selling
stock in the refrigerator company to the
employees of the pension Office. To-day he
learned that one of the members of the in
vestigating committee, Representative of
Ohio, M. l.. Smyser, was one of the stock
holders. Cooper therefore offered resolu-
ton discharging Mr.. Smyser from the com
mittee.
Smyser said he had no intimation he was
going to be appointed on the committee
until the announcement was made by the
speaker. AS member of the committee he
entered upon the discharge of his duty and
had done it faithfully and well. He did
own some of the stock, but that fact in no
manner could affect the integrity or honor
of an honest man. Smyser felt there was
nothing in the charges against General
Raum in any way affecting him, but in
order to satisfy the other side of the House
and the country and in duty to himself he
most respectfully asked to be relieved from
further service on the committee. The re-
quest was granted.
The speaker stated that when he an
pointed the committee he had no KNOWLEDGE
OF any relation between the gentleman
from Ohio and the company referred to.
The chair had made the appointments from
the committee on pensions and on invalid
pensions because he thought it would facil-
nj no. tfxYs ho,

On motion of Chapman of Michigan the
Sena oil passed extending the criminal
lursdiction OF the circuit and district
courts to the great lakes and their connect
ing waters.
Perkins OF Kansas moved to suspend the
rules and pass the bill to ratify and confirm
the agreement with the Sac and Fox and
Iowa tribes of Indians in Oklahoma, and
after explanation by Perkins and Peel it
passed. Adjourned
Inc special House committee en- investiga-
tlon of the charges against Commissioner
Raum resumed its session this morning.
Cooper opened the proceedings by com.
planning that the record had been "doc
tored" and unwarranted corrections made
by Commissioner Raum, and much matter
stricken out. AN instance, he said, was
.ouiA' LII oaS COMMISSIONER ) testimony rela-
tive TO the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
interview, where the commissioned inter
poiated words to make his testimony con-
form with that given by General Boynton.
The committee instructed the stenographer
to see that the record was complete.
Smyser, member of the committee, was
sworn. He said he was stockholder in
the refrigerator company. The proceed
lngs In the House, resulting in t ne resigna-
ton of Smyser, caused cessation of tie
investigation until the vacancy was filled.

Westminster hotel, where he again talked
to friends. He said his trip around the
world was more successful than he antici
pated, even in the protection strongholds
OF Australia. His most pronounced views
on free trade were given an impartial
hearing everywhere. Single Tax clubs
he said. ''sprang up all along the line after
my speeches. The issue has already en-
tered Australian politics. Sir Henry
Parkes, premier of New South Wales, is !,

the single tax. He used his influence to

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Sept. 1.-The Gazette
says the state and county elections today
passed off quietly so far as known. Moth
more than few disturbances of the ordin
airy character have occurred and these did
not affect the results a particle, and est
mates received by the Gazette from thirty
out of seventy five counties in the state in
dicate largely increased majorityfor Gov
ernor Eagle and the Democratic sta e ticket
over two years ago. The Democratic ma
jorities on the county differs and the legis-
lature has been cerrespondingly increased.
The Democrats claim the state by from
twenty to thirty thousand majority. In
the Third ward and several townships in
this and Pulaski county double polling
places were established, owing to the
charge that the cousty Judge violated the
law in appointing judges of election.

Balkan States.

Especial to THE acknowledgements Cable.
LONDON, Aug. 31.The reports which
have been circulating of reconciliation
between Emperor William and Prince Bis
marck are not without foundation. In
formation has been received in high quar-
tiers here that leaves no doubt that APP
proaches have been made on both sides to
that end, and that they have proceeded far

marcA intended to visit England early
this summer and all arrangements had
been completed by his son Count Herbert
This visit he postponed out of Difference to
the Emperor, so that it might follow in
stead of preceding the visit of his majesty.
Ii was subsequently given out that the ex
chancellor would not go to England until
his memoirs were completed and published.
1t is now stated that at the personal re-
quest of the Emperor the publication will
be withheld and that the memoirs may
never be issued during the lifetime of the
writer.
In consequence of the loyal compli-
auces OF Prince Bismarck with the wishes
OF his sovereign, meeting is to take place
between them, which may result in the res
toratlon of the great chancellor to power

policy OF state was concerned the need of

France could be induced to lay down a
musket unless Alsace was restored to her.

she has further advised the Emperor to

In Sllesla has been agreed upon.
Prince Bismarck has hitherto been in

THE IRISH POTATO BLIGHT.
Michael Davitt Writes to the Freemans Jour
nal on the Cure for Ireland's Distress.

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Cable |
DUBLIN, Aug. 31.-In the course of a long
letter to the Freemda's Journal Michael
Davitt refers to Ireland's experience in the
past in appealing for assistance in feeding
her starving people, and the prospect that
similar steps will have to be taken in the
near future. '.In $780, writes Mr. Davitt,
I'VE told America and the whole world we
should never again make similar request
And what has been the result. Long years
nave gone. How much is the situation i'm
proved. How better prepared are we now
to make good our boast to day than we
were thens In point of fact we have done
absolutely nothing but we are still ready to
FURNISH up our everlasting begging box
The only way to put it forever aside and
make an Irish famine impt ,jble is to in
crease the tillase area in the congested dis
trlcts and enable the people to utilize the
acres on acres of mountain and other suit
able grazing land from which absolutely no
beneficial use is now made. Besides this
there is no other cure for starvation be-
sides emigration. Even should parIla-
ment. be granted Ireland and house of
commons again set in Stephens Green, no
other or better remedy could be devised.
What is needed is more land and reform in
its holding and cultivation

Punch's Cartoon on the Blxht.


LONDON, Aug 3l.-[By cable to the New
York Herald. The threatening potato
blight in Ireland has inspired one of Punch s
artists, who has drawn powerful cartoon
showing Balfour in Golfng costume He
is now away on his holiday, stepping after
game. Behind him hovers the spectre of
famine pointing with menacing arm to
starving ireland. This cartoon, which has
excited great comment in London, is ac-
compauied by set OF verses entitled
IS ladowed. The concluding stanza reads ::
Wake, there is need of provident provision.
For watchtul eye and for most wary hand;
In mellow autumn interlude elysan
The old grim shadow strikes across the land
May heaven arrest its course, avert its terror,
And keep the statesman who this must fight
From careless blindness and flom laundering
error
Such as of old lent aid to the II lex blight.

LONDON, Aug. 3l.-lBy cable to the N.
Y. Herald. Mr.. Stanley has, it is feared,
by no means recovered from his recent at
tack of illness. He is now, with his wife.
living quietly in secluded Swiss village.
The controversy over Mr.. Stanley's
African expedition will pass into new
phase by the publicati in the autumn of
Major Barttelet's diary with letters to his
family. 1t was written while he was in
charge of the rear column. Down to the
present time only one side has been heard
and 1t is not unreasonable that the family
of Major Barttelet show now desire to
place another view of the case before the
public.
Some facts viii be brought forward
which are in direct conflict with the state
ments in SANKEY'S narrative and Major
Barttelet's course of conduct will be placed
In very different light from that in which
Mr.. Stanley has left it. When these docu-
ments and papers see the light there will
be an African question of no slight interest
before the public for they impugn very
seriously the entire management of Mr..
Stanley's expedition; FOR the relief of Emen
Pasha. His conduct in leaving the rear
column where he did and as he did will be
specially called in question.

Ex-Minister Foster Criticises Blaine's Plan.
Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.l
WASHINGTON, Sept. LEX Minister Fos-

ciprocity ideas are Incorporated in the tar
III Dill now before the Senate Foster
favored reciprocity with other nations
heartily and he agrees with Mr.. Blaine that
such policy is absolutely essential to our
continued Development and prosperity.
BUT" said Foster, reciprocity is purely
and entirely business proposition and
negotiations to that end to be successful
must be entered upon in business like
way temporary party advantages: the
reconciliation of party factions; the pla
eating OF great party chief offended be-
cause OF finding himself out of touch with
the rank and file, should not enter into the
case at all, and cannot without entailing
unhappy consequences on the party.
The whole matter is too much mixed / NAV
say there is too much politics in it to make
1t business success and just enough bust
ness In 1t to destroy the political game at
tempted Let US look at the political side
of the question for a moment Nothing is
palmer than that this whole matter has
been forced by Blaine. Congress, until he
sounded the note of fractional war. took
neither serious nor friendly notice of the
proposition. The President even looked
askance at it. The ways and means com
mittee of the House indeed rejected it out
right, and by the unanimous vote of the
majority. But Mr.. Blaine, nothing
daunted, pushed ahead, and now merely to
please him quiet the present internecine
STRIFE and not from conviction as to the
utility of the proposition from a business
point of view, the Republicans in
Congress have agreed to tack ON a recipro-
city amendment to the tariff bill Thew
don't expect anything from it, and L doubt
if Mr.. Blaine does. Surely any man can
see that it Is an idle demonstration and
made only to patch up truce for the fall
campaign. Mr.. Blaine, who understands
what reciprocity is and how best to bring
about its benetcient results, would not
have proceeded in any such way and ac-
cepts what is offered only because he can
do no better and is thus saved the humilla
ton of the rejection outright by Congress
of his policy. | am sorry indeed 10 feel
that whatever this Congress may do on the
subject on the lines laid down by it recipro-
