DISTRESS In OKLAHOMA.
The President Urges Congress TO Relieve
the Settlers.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-The President
to-day sent to Congress a letter from Gov
ernOr Steele of Oklahoma, representing
that great distress prevails among the resi-
dents Of the Territory, and requesting that
the attention of Congress be called to the
fact. The President in transmitting the
letter says: Information received by me
from other sources leads me to believe that
the Governor is altogether right in his i'm
preston that there will be, unless relief is
afforded, widespread suffering among the
settlers of Oklahoma. Many of these peo-
pie expended for travel and in providing
shelter for their families all their accumu-
lated means. The crop prospect for this
year, by reason of the drought, is unfavoT-
able and the ability of the Territory itself TO
provide relief must be inadequate during
this year. l am advised that there is an
uneXpended balance of $4,000 of the fund
appropriated for the relief Of the Missis-
sippi flood sufferers; and recommend that
authority be given to use this fund to meet
the most urgent necessities of the poorer
people in Oklahoma"

armed force from his vessel unless
specially requested to do so by the Ameri-
can Minister. The officer arrived and is at
the railroad station.
Marines Sobral, the Minister of For
. eign Affairs, has been thrown into Dris-
on by President Barillas and charged
with being a traitor, he having been
detected in secret communication with
agents of Salvador. 1t is rumored
that the revolutionist, hungary, was
killed in battle. Barrundia, who is a can
didate for the Presidency, has crossed the
frontier near San BenitO SOcOnISc0 with
small following. Troops have been sent to
intercept his advance Fighting is looked
for at any time.
President Barillas is very much incensed
at a number of the foreign Consuls resident
In this republic. The office Of the Secre-
lazy Of Foreign Relations being authorized
by the Constitution of the republic TO
withdraw the eXequatur granted to Consuls
resident in the country, has deemed 1t ad-
visable to withdraw that granted to the
Consul of Mexico, Don Jose Francisco DieZ
de Bouilla. The order was issued by the
President and signed by e. Martinez So
bral, Minister of Foreign Affairs. a like
decision was also issued regarding the Con-
sui from the Argentine Republic, as well as
for others whose names are not known. 1t
is charged these acts are the result of the
unfavorable reports sent from Guatemala
of Barillas' conduct
SAN SALVADOR, Aug. S.-Matters are
beginning to calm down here in this re-
public. All signs of a revolution are fast
disappearing and peace reigns once
more through the whole repub-
lie, and there are no evidences
of war, with the exception Of the army on
the frontier of Guatemala and forces near
the boundary Of Honduras. Everybody in
San Salvador appears to be loud in their
praise of General Ezeta and the mastery
way in which he has handled the situa-
tion. President Ezeta on Wednesday
called a meeting of many of the principal
aud most influential people in San Saliva
dor, and a unanimous voice of appreciation
was the result of his explanation as to what
he proposed to do for his country.
CRY OF MEXICO, Aug. St is thought
here that the Guatemalan trouble will br
amicably settled. Salvador will claim the
right of representatives TO all foreign
countries and demand that the foreign
ministers from each country be station ed
IN Salvador instead of one for all five re-
publics, as now.
NEW YORK, Aug. S.-The Herald's spe-
eial from Mexico says: The United States
is TO be no longer without communication
with the Minister in Guatemala. He will
be heard from perhaps tomorrow. He has
left the city of Guatemala for San Jose de
Guatemala to take the Ranger for Aea-
Julia or Libertad, where he will communi-
cate with his Government.

Special Dispatches to THE MORNING CALL.

GUATEMALA, Aug. Slate tonight the
Superintendent of the Guatemala Railroad
received orders to keep a special train con-
staDtly under steam in order to proceed to
Port San Jose, subject to the disposal of
President Barillas. 1t is believed that the
President is going to flee from the country.
The train was got ready when the Govern
ment sent squad or company of soldiers
ostensbly to watch over it, but the real
purpose of the soldiers presence was not
explained to the Superintendent of the rail-
road. who became alarmed at the Govern
ment's action in sending troops to the COM
pany's premises, which is American prop
erty.
He went at once to the American Lega-

then used the railroad telegraph to Port
San Jose and communicated with the COM

SUNOL'S LATEST.
The California Wonder Makes a Four
Year-0ld Record Of I'll IA.

BUFFALO, Aug. S.-Fifteen thousand peo-
pie went out to the driving-park to-day,
being attracted by the announcement that
Sunol and Belle Hamlin would attempt TO
lower their records of 2:10k and 2:12A
made by them respectively.
After some preliminary warm ing-up the
judges announced that the horses would be
sent to beat 2:l5. This was for the pur-
pose of giving Sunoi a record as four
year-old, the best record up to date being
2:16. Belle Hamlin was sent first, her time
being 2:15A, and the California wonder,
Sunol, was then called up. She passed the
quarter in 1894, the half in :0512. three
quarters in :3S1s and the mile 2:11A, just
three-quarters of second slower than her
California record. Considering the track.

THE SENATE.
Debate Over the Conference Report on the
cprJrv N;v;t piIl

Debate Over the Conference Report on the
sundry Civil Bill.
WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-The Senate to-
day passed Senator Plumb's concurrent
resolution providing for the transfer. with
Mrs. Grants consent, of the remains Of
General Grant from New York to Arlington
Cemetery.
Call offered resolution, which was agreed
to, instructing the Committee on Foreign
Relations to inquire into and report such a
measure as may be necessary for the pro-
lection of citizens of the United States, who
were formerly residents of Cuba and sub
jects of Spain, against prosecution by the
Spanish Government fer offenses alleged to
have been committed by them.
The conference report on the F0rtification
Bill was taken up for consideration.
After q discussion the report was agreed
to.
The conference report on the Sundry
Civil Appropriation Bill was then taken up,
and the action of the Conference Committee
on the subject Of the bridge and viaduct at
Rock Island, declining to require the mu-
nicipality to share the exrense and owner
ship, was criticized by Edmunds, who con-
trasted the liberality of the committee with
its meanness and parsimony in refusing to
the WIDOW OIL the dead ChleI justice waite
the balance Of his years salary.
Sherman expressed his regret at the strik-
ing out of the ite ms for the families of de-
ceased members aud of the late Chief JUS
tice Waite. He would himself vote for a
law, general in its character, giving to the
family of every officer Of the Government
who died IN harness the balance Of his pay
during the calendar year.
Cockrell criticized the making of indefi-
mite appropriations, and cutting down ap-
pro priations for the expenses of United
States courts, the support of prisoners. etc,
leaving the necessary outlay to be provided
for in the deficiency bill at the next session.
He had, therefore, voted against the con-
ference report. 1t placed the Senate in the
false position OF yielding on the items as to
back pay and bounty amounting to S724,-
600, when it did not yield dollar and next
| November the members of the House would
be exclaiming: "Look at the extravagant

The General Deficiency Bill Passed-Indian
Appropriations.
WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Mutchler Of Penn
sylvania was excused, at his own request,
from further service on the Committee of
Coinage, Weights and Measures, and Vaux
of Pennsy lvanla was elected to fill the va
cancy.
The House resumed consideration of the
General Deficiency Bill. the pending ques-
tion being an amendment granting one
months extra pay to employees of the House
and Senate.
The amendment was lost-ayes Y, noes
104.
Vaux moved to recommit the bill, with in
structi0ns to the Committee ON Appropria-
tions TO report it back with the clause ap-
propriating $4,000 for deficiencies in fees
and expenses of United States Marshals
eliminated. Lost-ayes 80, noes $50.
The bill was then passed.
The Committee on Rules reported reso-
luton providing that it shall be in order,
after two hours debate, to move that the
House non-concur In all the Senate amend
ments to the Indian Appropriation Bill.
Enloe raised the question of consider
alton in the interest, he said, OF the private
calendar.
In order to obviate Enloe's objection to
the resolution Cannon stated that it was
the purpose of the Committee on Rules to
report a resolution giving certain days to
the consideration of bills reported from the
Committee On Agriculture and Labor and to
the consideration of private bills.
Enioe thought that something more sub
stantial than promise should be given
anG insisted on his question Of consider
alton.
Cannon remarked that the gentleman, by
his action, was delaying the consideration
OF private measures.
The House decided by vote of ayes 110,
noes 66, to consider the report Of the Com
mittee on Rules.
Peel asked unanimous consent that the
Senate amendments to the Indian Appro-
priation Bill be nOn-concurred in, giving as
his reason the fact that the Indian service
was suffering and it was necessary that the
appropriation bill be passed at the earliest
day possible.
Breckenridge of Kentucky objected, and
Cannon then demanded the previous ques-
ti0n on the adoption Of the resolution. This
was agreed TO-
Springer contended that important bills
should not be rushed through under the
whip of the Committee on Rules.
Cannon, in sustaining the resolution, said
that this morning he had proposed to the
gentlemen on the other side that the House
n0n-c0ncur IN the Senate amendments, and
TO have the remainder of to-day and to-
morrow devoted TO private bills. This
proposition had been rejected by the gen.
tleman from Tennessee (Enloe). This re-
lection showed that the gentleman, while
protesting to be friend Of private meas
ures, was n erely posing in that capacity.
The question recurring on the adoption
of the resolution, no quorum voted, and

That was the way that branch of Congress
did its business!"
The discussion then turned upon the
items in relation to the irrigation survey
and to public lands, and it was carried on
at much length.
Finally the conference report was agreed
to. and a further conference ordered on ir-
rigation, which had been postponed, and
Allison. Hale and German were re-
appointed conferrees on the part Of the
Senate.
The Tariff Bill was then taken up, but
went over without action.
A joint resolution was passed to accept

Grand Army of the Republic a statue and
pedestal of the late General Grant, to be
erected in the Capitol grounds.

The CANADIAN PACIFIC.
Comments on Secretary WINDOWS Utter
anCe on the Bond Privilege.

TORONTO, Aug. 8.-The Mail to-day says
editorially: Secretary WINDOWS reply to
Senator Cullonl's resolution of the 18th
ult. is an intimation that the Treasury
Department at Washington intends to
deprive the Canadian Pacific Of
the privilege which it now enjoys
of forwarding over its lines in bond, to
points in the United States, merchandise
brought by its steamers from Atlantic
ports. 1t would be silly to affect to
regard with Indifference the actions
and intentions of our neighbors
in respect to these matters. Yet
we cannot be surprised at them. So
long as we pursue a policy of commercial
hostility toward the United States we have
no good reason to be astonished at nor to
complain OF like treatment of ourselves by
them. They have quite as much right to
make themselves unpleasant as we have"
The Globe says: "The fount and origin
of the hostility of Congress to the
Canadian Pacific lies in our rail-
way subsidy policy which enables
American railroads built by private
capital to assaii, and, we believe,
they are being assailed by n foreign Gov
ernment that transferred itself into huge
transportation company in the friction gen.
Grated by the fishery questions, aud
in the estrangement which the re-
striction of trade between the two
countries, with mutually hurtful tar
ifs, must always tend to prejudice. at a
time like this an advocate Of peace is usually
stigmatized as coward or traitor. The
Globe. is quite willing to endure that re-
prDach If only it can secure a
hearing for so good cause. Let
our Government, through that of Great
Britain, go boldly to Washington
and propose a settlement of all the issues
in dispute upon basis of closer trade re-
lations. If it fails, Canada will at least
have the satisfaction of knowing that she
has done her best to promote better rea-
tiOns.
MONTREAL, Aug. S.-The assistant man.
ager Of the Canadian Pacific was seen to-
day in reference to the restrictions it is
proposed to place on the bonding privileges
of the road in connection with the Oriental
business. He said he had no further infOr-
nation than that contained in the press dis
patches, but the Canadian Pacific had no
intention of giving up any Of its trade out
of respect to the jealousy of other lines.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Within the next

the Pan-American countries, and for which
Congress appropriated SS6,0OO this amount
to be advanced by the United States, and
the different countries to be assessed for
their share on the basis of population, il
being the impression that the States inter
ested will aggregate one hundred million
souls, will be pretty well established. When
the Pan-American delegates were making a
tour of the United States they determined
that it would be advisable to establish a
ureau under the supervision of the State
Department, with headquarters at Wash
ington, for the dissemination of information
which could not fail to be of benefit to all
the countries concerned. Blaine selected

Rates.
CHICAGO, Aug. 8.-Every passenger-train
arriving in this city to-day on all the West
ern roads brought large bodies of excursion
lists en- route to Boston and New York, who
are taking advantage of the cheap rates
consequent on the Grand Army encamp-
ment in the former place. This morning
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
brought the California department of the
Grand Army Of the Republic and all roads
had one or more contingents. The Rock
Island will bring in four special trains to-
morrow from Kansas and Colorado points.
The crowd from Chicago east is unprece-
dented. AT the Michigan Central Office to-
day they were obliged to turn the people
away in large numbers, being unable to
give them accommodations. This road has
arranged for a new line of Chicago and
Boston sleeping-cars, to go into service on
the North Shore limited trains. 1t is said
that not 90 per cent Of this extra travel Is
made up Of Grand Army men. and ordinary
tourists are taking advantage of the cheap

California Fruit in Demand.

NEW YORK, Aug. Sat present the
pears and peaches that are in the market
are exclusively from California. The quail
ity is good, and the hotels are buying them
in carloads for canning as soon as they ar
rive. The only fruit that is not scarce is
grapes. North Carolina and Virginia vine
yards send the largest supply. The crop
is excellent, and prices would have been
low this season only the scarcity keeps the
prices on level with the whole market
E. L. Goodsell. the large dealer in Califor-
mia fruits, said yesterday that the California
crop was exceedingly large, and from all
reports the late grapes would be larger
and better crop.
