HARRISON rAvoRs IT.
\ Disastrous Republican Split ON the Forc'

WAsHINGroN, ID. c., August ls.-ThC
New York Herald CORES pOndent writes
have the highest authority for saying
that Presidert Harrison has openly ar
rayed himself against Senator Quay and
his followers i'm their attempt to defeat
consideration in the Senate OF the Fed
cral Election bill. lIencefOrth oppo-
nents Of It's consideration must be class
ed as anti-administration Republicans
4 political contest as bitter as the one
begun in President Johnson'S time
against his opponents in the senate Do
1866 is certainly developing, and in
few DAYS omen revolt against the admin
istration or unconditional surrenderwll
be the result.
THE PRESIDENT FOR THE FORCE BILL
In spite of the very general belief
among congressman that the Election
bill is practically dead for the present
session. very persistent effort is in
progress on the part of its friends TO
force its consideration. In this work
members of the House are taking an
earnest part. 1t is also significant that
the President is causing it to be known
that he is decidedly in favor Of ma
tional election law. Some Republican
Senators went so far to-day as to declare
their belief that Senator QuayN reSolu-
tion could now be beaten in caucus.
1t is true. however, that the Demo-
Gratis i'm each House confidently believe
that the election bill is out of the way
for the session. so far as any real at
tempt to take it mp for action is con-
ccrncd.

THE REPUBLICAN HULK STUCK ON The FORCE
BILL,
AID the Old Timb,rs Groanng Under the Strain
The Battle is Postponed Until Wednes-
day -Edmunds a Convert 10
Blaine's Idea

WASHINGTON, August Ex-senator
Quay's resolutions fixing the order Of
business in the Senate and excluding
the Federal Elections bill, reintrOduced
by him to-day, will come up for consid-
Grafton tomorrow. They will be an
tagonized by Hoar, Spooner and other
Senators who regard the passage Of the
So-caled Force bill as paramount i'm
pOrtance.
When Quay originally introduced his
resolutions he was assured Of a favora-
BILE report from the Committee on Rules,
as Aldrich was pledged TO its support,
and he, with the two Democrats, MeSsrs.
Harris and Blackburn, constituted a
majority Of the committee. But Quay
preferred the short cut of bringing it
directly before the Senate for action on
his own responsibility. There is doubt
OF its passage when the final vote is
reached. Before that. however there
is likely to be prolonged and probably
ACRIMONIOUS DISCUSSION
and efforts will be made by the Radical
Senators to have the Elections bill III
corporated as part of the pending or
der. and failing in that to have day
in December set for its consideration.
Matters are very much complicated and
an open rupture of the Republican par
ty in the Senate Is imminent, which
may be attended by most serious politi
cal consequence. Quay has been tho
target for some sharp attacks, consider
able abuse and many threats: he IS
however, firm in his purpose and IS moi
to be shaken in his determination by
any Glamour.
Some experienced observers say that
the situation looks bad for the tariff,
but policy of retaliation which has
/ been threatened will hardly be obtained
OF sufficient strenth TO make it dan
gcrouS. Speaker Reed is very anxious
and ugly and went over to the Senate
before the House met, to confer with
Senator lIoar and others of the Force
bill adherentS.

QUAY he desires to speak upon the order

A Fearful Riot Among Workmen Near

CINCINNATI
CINcNvArl. O.. August 19-Saturday
mi1night, at Coal City, near North Bend,
on the Commuters passenger train on the
Big -Four Railway, on which number OF
passengers were drunken negroes, an eX-
citing and fatal shooting affray took place
II began bv Seary Lewis, drunken
colored man, going up to George Teen
and violently pushing his feet off an un-
occupied seat Seary Lewis and another
negro. Berne Bakely, then assaulted Teen
Shortly Burton. friend of Teen, took
part and fierce fist fight began. Soon the
crack of a pistol was heard and then an
other. and another. No one knows who
did the firing or how many shots were
fired. 1t is known that both Teen and Bur-
ton fired shots and emptied their revolvers
and that the negro Lewis used two revol-
vers EVERYTHING was confusion and ter
ror and the mad scene was soon over.
Seary Lewis, who began the trouble, re
ceived a dangerous wound in the groin.
Bene Bakely, the negro confederate OF
Lewis, was shot in the wrist. These were
the only participants hurt. -Four others
were hit. ALI Hedges, a colored man, got
slight wound in the right heel. George
Singleton, colored, was wounded IN the
| left hip. John Godfrey, white man, was
wounded in the right side Mrs. Queen
Crooks, colored woman, was shot in the
head She died of her wounds yesterday
afternoon.
There was no report of the affair to the
Cincinnati police till after last midnight.
| Railroad subordinates here were very close
mouthed about it, The marshal of Coal
/ City made no effort TO arrest any OF the par
ticipants.
George Teen and Shorty Burton are EN-
ployes of the Addiston Pipe works, and
bear good regulations Passengers and
the public generally eXonerate these men,
and the general impression is that Seary
/ Lewis and Bene BalSely are chiefly, II not
wholly, responsible for the affair. Teen
and Burton have disappeared and no one
/ knows their whereabouts. Seary Lewis,
the wounded ringleader, was taken TO ms
home in Covington. KY, last night and

TO INVESTIGATE RAUM.
Reed Cannot Find Committee to suit
Him.

WAsHINGroN. d. c., August lS.-It
appears that Speaker Reed is having
considerable difficulty in securing a full
committee to carry out the order Of the
House for an investigation into the
charges made against the Commission
er of Pensions, Green b. Baum. There
was no trouble in securing Republican
members and one Democrat. Mr.. Good
night, of Kentucky, was induced to
serve, but it seems that the second
Democrat necessary TO complete
the committee cannot be found. Rep
resentatiye Cooper. of Indiana, the au-
thor Of the resolutions upon which the
investigation was ordered, has been
urged upon the Speaker to fill the va
cancy caused by the successive resigna-
tions Of his fellow Democrats, but the
Speaker does not think proper to ap-
point Mr.. Cooper. who brought charges
against the Commissioner to a place
where he would be- expected TO sit in
judgment.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August lS.-Repre-

House the report of the Democratic minor
ity of the Committee on Elections in the
case of Clayton VS.. Breckenridge in the
Second Arkansas district. The report says
that with one exception the district has
ALWAYS gone Democratic, and this is in
favor of the Democratic contestant The
theft of the ballot box is admitted, but II
is claimed this did not change the result.
The report comments upon the handling OF
the case. calling it disagreeaDle and Grim
inal, and attributing it to party malice. IT
goes ON at length, limiting at some base
compact that forestalled the action of the
majority The report concludes with re
buking the "wretched, scandalous handling
of the great case and deciding to appeal
ITO the votes of the people to right the
wrong if the House approves the report OF
the committee in uuseating Breckenridge.
