Special Ia the standard.
WASHINGTON, July 1O.-The bluff game
played by Teller, Jones and Stewart won
the compromise bill to-day by n majority
of 13 votes. They had compelled the
president to consent to sign bill that
would provide for the purchase of 4,5O0.-
900 ounces instead Of n, 10000 worth of
silver and they took that offer, with the
legal tender provision to support il.
rather than run the risk of no silver bill.
The 80 votes for the silver bill were all
cast by the opponents of free coinage,
the 26 i'm opposition were cast by demo-
Gratis. Mr.. Payne came as near to voting
for the bill as he could. He was
paired with Sherman, but he released
Sherman from the pair and did not ar
arrange new one. The democrats have
insisted all through the debate that the
compromise bill is worse than the present
law, that il will result in the cessation of
silver coinage i'm 1891 and that the exer-
else of the discretion provided in the bill
by a hostile secretary of the treasury will
make il Of no use whatever as measure
intended to increase the circulation.
Speaker Reed will postpone taking up the
bill in the house until the 20 or 80 republic
cans who are Oft at the seaside enjoying
themselves can be induced TO return and
submit themselves to the caucus rule. II
is doubtful IL the bill can he sent to the
president before next week.
A commission has been sent to Thomas
j. Chestnut as postmaster at Ridgelawn,
and the Office of Holt, in Missoula county,
has been established with Eugene Sears
as postmaster.

Salisbury Says England Don't Want II and
Germany Needs "a.
LONDON, July 10.-In the house of lords
this evening Lord Salisbury moved the
second reading of the bill providing for
the cession of Heligoland to Germany.
He generally belittled the importance of
the island to the English and magnified
the advantages TO be derived from its
transfer. Referring TO the African clauses
in the Anglo-German agreement he argued
as long as Wituwai was in the hands of
another power English interests to the
northward could he interfered with. Under
the convention there was not the slightest
chance for such interference until the
confines OF Europe were reached. He
urged that an exclusive English protec-
torate over Zanzibar would assist I'm the
suppression OF the slave trade and develop
the commerce OF England and India.
There was no reason, he said, 10 appre-
hend any difficulty over the convention
with any European power.
After debate by Lord Rosebcrry and
Earl Kimberly the bill passed lis second
reading.

Republicans Like IL as Long as 10 Works

WASHINGTON, July 10.-In the house to-
day several members asked to have the
journal corrected but the speaker pro
tem., Mr.. Burrows, recognized Cannon
who read the approval Of the journal and
demanded the previous question. 1t was
ordered 10i TO So, the speaker counting a
quorum. Fithian and Williams then
spoke at some length about the error i'm
i'm recording their names, both stating
that they were not present during roll call.
Cannon replied that made no difference.
McMillen contended that member
must be present and refuse TO vote i'm
order TO give the speaker right to record
his name. The gentleman from Illinois
had said that the democrats did not want
to consider the diplomatic and consular
approximation bill. That bill appropriated
- perreut more wharf.-the current law, yet
the gentlemen having IL in charge at
tempted TO push il through after Is min
utes OF debate. Against that action demo-
Gratis protested and the result was the
waste of time of which complaint was
made. Why should republicans complain
of the democratic side when they had the
responsibility attending a large majority
which they had made by questionable
methods? If they wanted TO do business
let them bring members back from fish
ing, electioneering and summer resorts.
Grosvenor defended the republican
policy i'm a lively speech. The conference
report on the Diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill was adopted and the
house then went into committee of the
whole on the land grant fortification bill.
McAdoo, of New Jersey. spoke of the ef-
forts of democratic houses to forfeit un-
earned land grants and of the steady OPP
position of the senate to- those efforts.
Now, both houses being i'm control of the
republicans, a compromise had been
patched up. The pending measure might
well be entitled, a bill ITO compound a
felony with railroads which have stolen
lands" Pending further discussion the
committee rose and the house adjourned

HE WANTS THE EARTH.
Frederick Prentice Claims the Business
Portion nj Duluth.


ST. PAUL, July l0.-Frederick Prentice
Is again endeavoring 10 establish his title
TO valuable portion of the third addition
TO the city OF Duluth, owned by the Duluth
Storage and Forwarding company, the
Duluth Street Railway company and
numerous private parties. The property
embraces very valuable tract of land
containing about 400 lots, 80 feet wide
and i40 feet long, which are covered with
banks, stores, hotels, schools, churches,
manufactures and dwelling houses valued
at nearly $2.00O.OOO.
Prentice claims title To an undivided
one-half of all of this real estate by virtue
of n deed under date of September II.
1856, which conveyed certain tract Of
unplatted land, beginning ala large stone
at the head of st. Louis bay and running
one mile east and one mile north, and the
same distance west and south TO the
place Of beginning. This is portion Of
land set of 10 the Indian chief Buffalo
under treaty executed September 10,
1855.
Under the terms OF the treaty the chiet
was given an option to select % mile
square of land, which selection he made
before the ratification of the treaty and
before the lands were surveyed. Suisse
quently Buffalo disposed of his interest to
B. y. Armstrong, under whom Prentice
now claims title by virtue of a paper dated
September IA, 1856.
II is claimed by some of the defendants
that this deed was not properly executed
as required 10y law at the time, and that
the complaint i'm equity has been filed by
the storage and fortling company and the
city railway company. asking for an in
Junction restraining Prentice from bring
ing any further action.
This complaint cites that the supreme
court has decided on IL adversely Ia Prem
tice in the ejectmeDt suit against %. u.
Stearns. This is the third time that Prem
ticc has sought To establish his title.
In 1886 the United States circuit court
not he maintained against the 81. Paul x
Duluth Railroad company, and i'm March,
1875, the supreme court of the United
States rendered n decision adverse to
Prcntice's claims IN his action against
Judge Stern.
The trial opened this morning and will
probably occupy the attention of the court
for several days; Justice Miller and
Judges Nelson and Thomas sit together
during the hearing. Mr.. Prentice is pres
ent and is represented by an eminent ar
ray of counsel. The defense il repre-
sented with a host Of legal giants, one OF
whom objected To receiving a certified
copy of description of the lands selected
by Buffalo on the ground that the descrp-
ton was vague, uncertain and indefinite.
1--WE could find n dozen such tracts Of
land at the head ,f ST. Louis bay as this
description indicates" said he. Justice
Miller called for the reading of the descrip-
ton and then decided that there is moth
ing To show, SO far, that the land was not
the same tract that was afterward sur.
veyed, patented and decided To Armstrong

Lively Fight Between Coiored Men and

BALTIMORE, July l0.-A special to the
Sun from Charleston, W. Va, says: There
are grave fears OF race war in Pochan-
tos, n mining region. On the evening of
July q couple of hundred colored
miners had been on an excursion
train of the Norfolk x Western road,
and on returning home many were
under the influence Of liquor. They set
upon white man in The train and nearly
killed him. Four of the railroad detec-
tivcs who were ON the train interfered,
and terrible fight ensued, in which the
detectives were badly done up and one
negro shot and others badly beaten. The
train was stopped at that station and citi-
zens saved the detectives lives. Since
then the feeling has been very bitter and
trouble Is momentarily expected.
