A QUORUM NECESSARY
To Pass Measures in the House of
Representatives.


Representatives.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The proceed
ings in the house this week will be gov
erned by the attendance of members.
There is strong disposition OH the part
of the majority to finally pass upon the
conference report on the original pack
age bill and to secure action upon the
compound lard bill aud two of the cleo
tion cases. But it is felt that the
presence of a quorum is necessity
in these cases, and, if that cannot
be maintained, it is probable
that the house will be obliged to con-
fine itself to the consideration of the
senate amendments to the Indian appro-
priation bill, to the deficiency appro-
priation bill and other measures which
are not expected to arouse party feeling
or give rise to factious opposition. The
report of the conferreeS on the land
grant forfeiture bill, it is expected, will
be ready for presentation to the house
early in the week, but its consideration
will depend, with the other measures
named, upon the attendance secured.
The tariff will be discussed in the sem
ate until Friday, when it will be laid
aside and the river and harbor appro-
priation bill taken up.

OUTLAWS IN POLITICS.
Reign of Terror in a New Mexico
County.

County.
SANTA FE, Aug. 3.-The White Cap
organization near Las Vegas, N. NJ.
whose outrages were recently called to
the attention of the secretary of the
interior, have become so bold in
their depredations that Gov. Prince has
been compelled to issue proclamation
calling upon them to disband, and de-
clares that if they do not do so he
will order out the territorial militia,
and, if necessary, call upon the
United States troops. This band of
regulators style themselves Knights of
Labor, and have organized lodges in
San Miguel county until they now have
a membership of 1.5O0. They have,
without any legal cause, de-
stroyed hundreds of miles:sof fences,
turned herds of cattle loose, burned
thousands of tonsOf hay and destroyed
other property, whiIeseyeral men .who
have opposed sthem have been
seriously wounded by some un-
seen assassin, who mysteriously
disappeared. Another unfortunate dis
covery tor the county is that for years
there has been factional fights in the
Republican party, and it is now alleged
that the leaders of one faction is in
sympathy with these outlaws and that
the organization, unless soon broken
up, will be used as a political machine.

Gently. Malietoa's followers are strong,
and in the event of another war it is
thought they would be ultimately sue
cessful, but the mere prospect OF an
other conflict is dreaded by all foreign
ers. Tamasese, who was supported by
the Germans two years ago, is appar-
emily not engaged in any strife, and is
said to be enlisting sympathy, not only
of the white population, but also OF the
most intelligent portion of Malietoa,s
party. King Malietoa and his chiefs
regard the situation so serious that they
have requested the three consuls to ap-
poinet an adviser to the king and want

THEY CRY FOR WATER.
Distress Results From Drouth in
Iowa.

iowa.
Special to the Globe
DAVENPORT, To-, Aug. 3.-There is
genuine distress throughout this part
of the country on account of the scarcity
of water. The fields are drying up, or
have done so long ago, and there are
empty barns already In prospect.
There may be actual suffering before
the next season comes. This makes the
sixth consecutive summer Of this sort.
The reason that better crops were raised
last year than this was that the rains
continued till later in the season. The
corn and potatoes we're out of the way
of the drOuth, and fruit and other crops
of the sort were so far matured as to be
little damaged. This year the droutl
began in June. 1t has continued stead
lily ever since. The streams are dry
and dusty, except those that are fed by
living springs, and even they do not run
far before their waters are absorbed In
the sands. The larger ones, as
the Iowa, Cedar. Maquoketa and
other rivers, have now Shrunken
to the dimensions of diminutive rivu-
lets. They are feeble streams wander
ing among wastes of dry sand. and so
small that babe can wade them. The
meadows aud pastures are dead and the
feed of the cattle is cut off. 1t will be
necessary to begin foddering horses
and cattle as in winter. The corn,
which should be filing its kernels now,
is drying up and will amount to moth
ing unless it be cut mp and used to the
roots for fodder. The ground is cracked
wide open, in some places to great
depth. Wells are beginning to give
out and the dust is inches in depth on
all the highways of this section. The
passing trains keep up a continual
alarm of fire along the lines of railroad.
and there are numerous cases OF serious
damage from this cause. Potatoes,
onions, tomatoes, sweet corn and all
other vegetables and produce Of this
sort, of which large quantities are
raised about here, will not amount to
anything worth calling an average
yield. Fruit is high and is nearly all
shipped here. One day passes like an
other-a hot coppery sky, some small
clouds, signs of thunder storms in the
distance, but no rain. Some farmers
will be greatly distressed to provide for
their animals and others will be COM
PEELED to sell off most Of their stock be-
cause of their inability to keep it.
