Sls0,000 Croker was said to have had, and it
was certain, he said. that if Croker ever did

mon Legislation-Commit Notes.

| The Senate committee on territories today
heard Frank Cannon. editor of the Ogden,
Utah, Standard, in opposition to Senator Gull
Ions bill to amend the Tucker-Edmunds act SO
as to disfranchse Mormons and render them
ineligible as jurors. Mr.. Cannon opposed the
bill on the ground that anti-Mormon legislation
had now gone far enough; that the situation
OF affairs with respect to the Mormon question
was improving and would continue to improve
upon the present basis. Nothing but time was
needed now to work out satisfactory settle
ment of all troubles. The committee will
probably dispose of the bill at the next session.
THE SENATE COMMITTEE on PUBLIC LANDS.

The correspondents in the Capitol press gal
leries who were once printers but who fell
from grace and opulence into the field of
newspaper endeavor have been attaching their
| autographs TO paper which calls for the
financial equivalent of one thousand ems of
type from each. The proceeds will be added
to the Chids-Drexel fund now being carefully

GLADSTONE CONDEMNED.
He Should Not Have Compared Eng
land With Russia

LONDON, May 19-Several of the liberal
papers condemn Mr.. Gladstones comparison of
the atrocities perpetracted by Russian officials
upon exiles in Siberia with the Mitchelstown,
Ireland, affair.
The POI Mall Gazette SAYS that England is
land of constitutional liberty. where
happily. the unjust shedding of the blood of
single citizen is enough to
damn the government. Mr.. Gladstone's
reference to Mitcheistowp. the Gozthe says
has no weight with men like Stepnak, the noted
Russian agitatOr. who is unable tC see what
more We want i'll free England than we have
already got.
The Standard says it cannot find language to
adequately express its disgust at the parallel
drawn By Mr.. Gladstone. What can be thought
IL asks, OF man who is trying
to persuade his cOuntrymen that Il
confused street riot can be cIassed with the de-
liberate flogging of naked women and kindred
barbarlties. 1t shocks ones moral sense to find
that a party leader has reached a stage of
rancOr.

When He Was Charged With Stealing.

'You know yourself that didn't steal from
them women" said Henry Harris to Judge
Miller this afternoon, because l was in the
work house on the day they said stole their
baskets"
Two stout colored women were listening to
his denial and one of them remarked 'Oh,
Lord, boy, why don't you tell the TRUTH"
II did tell the truth" said the prisoner;
''you take me for some o.her person."

pull up your sleeve and show the cut on your
arm that you showed me-
Il haven't got any cut on my arm"
Yes you have"
Pull up your sleeves" said Bailiff Kendig.
Harris pulled up his sleeve and the cut was
found there.
The two women arrested him Yesterday, and
he even denied that they arrested him.

SARATOGA'S ASsEMBLAGE.
The Question of a New Church Consti-
tuition Taken Up.

SARATOGA. NY, May I9.-The Presbyterian
general assembly resumed its session this morn
ing. After the reading of the minutes various
bills and overtures were read and
referred. DR.. Kempshall moved that
the report of the committee on
methods of altering the constitution be
referred back to a committee enlarged by
seven new members. fairly representing both
sides. with instructions to report as early pos
sible to the assembly. This was seconded by Dr.
Patton and opposed by DIR. Roberts, the chair
man of the committee. who thought the matter
had not been sufficiently debated. DIR. Kemp
shall thought the reference back would pre-
vent waste of time and perhaps serious and
lasting dissension. DIR. Patton said he had
accorded the motion in the interests
of harmony. He thought such an
enlarged subcommittee could secureS.sub-
stantial unanimity. Or. Herrick johnson of
Chicago thought 1t singular that if this was in
the interests OF harmony the chairman of the
committee should not have been consulted. He
thought more discussion was necessary before
such reference. Let us do as was done in this
house seven years ago in the great debate on
the amendment of the rules of discipline.
when two days were spent in debating Item by
item, he moved the motion be laId OH the
table. The question of recommittal was de-
ferred and the matter dropped for the present.
FRATERNAL FEELING.
n Haternal greeting was read from the gen.
eral assembly of the Southern Presbyterian
Church, in session at Asheville, NC. The
board of missions for freedmen made
its twenty-ffth annual report through
the Rev. L. ID. Morris, DID. of Cincinnatl,
who said that twenty-five years ago
we had no church. school, educated colored
preacher. or teacher, while today finds us with
2I5 churches. rs schools. III colored preach
ers. and 1873 cOlOred teachers and not less than
5000 freedman are now giving US good infu-
ences. The churches are included in two synods.
the Atlantic with six. and the Catawba with four
presbyteries The receipts of the board during
the year were cl16.325.60 a gain over last year
of @3lS7422. The freedmen themselves have
given toward the support of the their own
churches and schools and for scholarships in
the Scotia and Mary Allen Seminnaries $40
2092l. The S7.7i5 they gave for these
scholarships are not included in the
total receipts of the board. Nine new
churches have been organized In
the Carolinas the emigration of
the negroes to the west has depleted many of
our churches. In Georgia the colored popula-
ton is increasing rapidly and is now about 800
600. and in no state except. perhaps, Texas are
negroes getting property so fast.

Strikers Use Violence

LIVINGSTON, Mont, May 19-Sixteen men
arrived in Livingston Saturday and yesterday
afternoon were taken by teams to Cokedale to
take places OF striking miners. Scarcely had
they begun to alight from the wagons when
they were assaulted by the strikers One of the
new men WAS hit on the head with stone and
knocked insensible. but soon recovered. Only
one of the strikers was arrested Superintend-
ent Wickes of the coke works expects the new
men. with an additional force yet to arrive to 90
TO work today. but before that time it is likely
that the strikers will win them over, and the
situation will be the same as for several weeks
past. and the works will remain closed for want
of coal.

MIR. CANADAY's SUCCESSOR. .
Gossip About the Candidates Many in
the Field.

Although speeches on silver or on an initiation
Of the currency are occupying the official
attention of the Senate today, the
individual members of that body are
really more interested in the contest
for the position left vacant by the resignation
OF SergeGn,-at-Arms Canaday. The candidate 8
for the financial results and the honor con-
tanned III this place are active.
One Of the candidates, Deputy Sergeant-at-
Arms Charles B. Readc. is on the ground and he
is taking advantage of that fortuitous fact in a
manner that cannot fail to make the fight
interesting for the absentees. At first
Mr.. Reade thought he would not
enter the race and on the strength of that
seml-determination it was announced that he
had Withdrawn. This morning Mr.. Reade re-
considered and now he and his friends are
working with teeth and toenails to the end that
he may be the winner He has number of
Senators pledged TO support him.
EX-Representative Valentine of Nebraska is
well up to the front. The Nebraska delegation
proposes to keep his name up where Senators
can see it all the time. Mr.. Valentine has Il
hrSt-class political and military record, and
will never cease fighting until the vote has
been taken.
Col. Swords of iowa is a candidate who
makes but little noise. He has very large
political acquaintance and will do his utmost
Senator Allison will stay by him to the end
and SO will all the other Iowa republicans
rHSb hssIsldHb IOSlildSlCT utItTdl NldEhSOD
is hustling for him and that means good
deal.
Senator Quay has a man. Mr.. Bailey. but it
is believed that when Mr.. Quay sees his protege
has no chance he will of course go with the re-
publican national committee to the help of
swords.
The gentlemen named are at present the
most prominent candidates for the S4.920
salary which Col. Canaday has been drawing
for the past seven years.
THE CAUCUS.
The caucus which will propably name the
coloners successor will not meet for some time
the colonels resignation docs not take
effect until July l. Col. Canaday's resig-
nation was entirely voluntary and
it was placed in the hands of the Senate at this
time because valuable business interests
would be neglected by a longer con-
tinuance in official life. 1t is Col.
Canadays intention to permanently locate
here. He will practice before the courts. Con-
gress and the departments. Already
he has large number of cases
on hand. His departure from the
Senate is being regretted by great many
Senators, and today the colonel received big
batch of complimentary yet regretful letters
from Senators on both sides of the chamber.
