for it is incapable, morally, politically
and in every other way, Of doing any-
thing but to hold on, The attempted
fraud practiced upon the country by
Democratic talk about farm MORTGAGES
had become a laughing matter. The
agricultural committee had several i'm
portant matters to report.
A Democrat--Why does it not do it?
Grosvenor-Because the Democrats
party has obstructed legislation to the
extent of more than one-quarter of the
time of this congress.
Continuing, GrOsvenor extOlled the
present code of rules. He said the Dem
ocrats would never repeal or materially
modify this code. They would camp to-
morrow night where the Republicans
camped last night and say they were
always in favor of this code. laugh
ter.
Grosvenor reviewed the legislation en-
acted by the Republicans in the present
congress and then proceeded to criticise
the Democrats for their obstructive tao
tics. Let them, he continued, keep it
up; let them abuse their constitutional
privilege to order roll calls; but let it be
understood that the American people
know what they are doing, and why
they are doingit. The American people
would decide between the Republican
party and the Democratic party, and with
their verdict they would be entirely con-
tent. Applause on the Republican
side, and cries of Thompson, Thomp-'
son" from the Democrats.
The journal was then approved-yeas,
103; nays, 81.
The conference report on the diplo-
matte and consular appropriation bill
was adopted-yeas ia, nays 66.
Funston, of Kansas, submitted, and
the house passed, the report on the agri-
cultural appropriation bill.
The house then went into committee
of the whole on the land grant forfeiture
bill.
McAdoo, of New Jersey, spoke of the
efforts of the Democratic houses to for
felt unearned land grants, and of the
steady opposition of the senate to those
efforts. Now both houses being in the
control of the Republicans, compro-
mise had been patched up. The pend
ing measure might well be entitled, "a
bill to compound felony with the rail-
roads which have stolen lands" Pend
ing further discussion the committee
rose and the house adjourned.

ORDER OF ELKs.
The Session of the Grand Lodge at Cleve-
land Finished.

CLEVELAND, July 1O.-The grand
lodge of Elks finished it's business to-
day. A committee was appointed to
secure an injunction against the New
York rebels. The constitution was re-
vised. The new constitution provides
that each lodge shall not elect more than
one representative, and such delegate
must be a past exalted ruler. The gov
ernment Of the order has been placed
upon a more democratic basis. The
Grand Lodge will hold meetings in
whatever place it sees fit, and
not exclusively in New York city
as heretofore. The rank OF
elders is abolished, and all members
will be known in the future as Elks.
The temperance question was freely dis
cussed, and a motion was passed pro-
hibiting the use of liquor at social
sessions. The next meeting will be held
on the third Tuesday in May, at Louis
vile, KY. The following officers were
elected today: W. G. Dudley, San Fran
cisco, grand esquire; DIR. o. Clarke
Sprague, Rochester, N. ", grand inner
guard, and G. A. Reynolds, Hartford,
Conn, grand chaplain.
New York, July 10.-The members of
New York Lodge. No. l., OF Elks, are
very much incensed at the action OF the
grand lodge in Cleveland. Their attor,
ney having secured an injunction against
the grand meeting in Cleveland, pro
| poses to prosecute for contempt Of court
every member of the Cleveland body
| who comes within the jurisdiction o

How the New York Clothing Manufac-
turers Justify Their Action.
New York, July 10.-A large meeting
of striking cloak k-makers and their svm-
pathizers was held at Cooper Union to-
night. One of the speakers said the
notice of the lockout of the
clothing cutters was the last effort
of organized capital to break
up the cutters organization. 1t will
force out $4,000 men Immediately,
and eventually drive 10000 persons into
idleness. President Gompers, of the
American Federation of Labor, said the
real object of the manufacturers was to
place the cutters in position by which
they will be induced to take the plac es
OF the cloak cutters. The responsibility
of those about to throw 10000 men
into the street was very humble
beginning, and whatever might happen
would lie on the heads of this foul COM
bination. Twenty-Five thousand men
were not going to beg for bread.
Resolutions were adopted protesting
against the action of the manufacturers
as conspiracy, and calling for the aboli-
tion of the grand jury.
Representatives of the Manufacturers
Association said tonight it is simply a
question as to who is running their busi-
ness. They recognize no union. The
trouble started when boycott was
placed on the firm of Benjamin & Co.
because they would not make
their factory strictly union. Several
firms were threatened with similar treat.
ment, and rather than have the men
make systematic raid by selecting one
manufacturer at time, the association
concluded to take the bull by the horns.

road Developments.

road Development.
CHICAGO, July 10.-A special from st.
Louis says: "The California Improve
ment Company was incorporated today
under the laws OF Illinois, the papers
being filed at Belleville, across the
river from here. 1t is understood
that the company includes some of the
most prominent capitalists of st. Louis.
The intention is to build railroad from
Los Angeles to San Francisco. The
company is formed for the purpose
of extending the Los Angeles,
Pasadena and Glendale road.
Those interested are very reticent as to
their intention. One of the incor-
porators, B. f. Hobart, intimated
that the road might Ego to
the sea-" This is believed
to mean that the projectors will build a
road to San Francisco, thus invading the
territory now monopolized by the
Southern Pacific. The Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe has long
been seeking terminus at San Francisco.
The Atlantic and Pacific at present is
dependent upon the Southern Pacific for
access to the Golden Gate metropolis.
This road has a branch to Los An
geles, and it is regarded in
railroad circles that the franchise con-
tanned in the new improvement COM
pany may be of great value to the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe.

What is the Meaning of So Many English

We Will Not Be Bluffed.

New YORK. July 10.-The Tribune in
an editorial on the Bering sea matter,
tomorrow will say: Congress has acted
wisely in calling for the correspondence
ON the controversy. It is evident that
Lord Salisbury is advancing some most
absurd contentious. There is some rea-
son to believe that a. certain quality of
menace isimparted to his letters. Some
curious military and naval operations
have been going on lately about our
coast. Great Britain has been strength
ening her splendid defences at Halifax,
increasing her military and naval
forces there, adding to her fleet
at the Bermudas and Bahamas, and
sending a considerable squadron to the
Bering sea. If she desires this display
to be Interpreted by the United States
as menace, she is engaged in foolish
and regretable business. 1t is not agree
able to spirited people to feel that an
effort is being made to awe them into
submission by display of the engines
of force. We can imagine no proceeding
on England's part more likely to con-
vince the American people that
the Bering sea is mare clausun.
than the presence of British
gunboats in the neighborhood
OF our Pribylov islands. We can fancy
no demonstration more admirably cal
culated to unite this country in reso-
lutte determination in it's extreme de-
mand than the sight of British cruisers
lowering around our Atlantic coast. 1t
is desirable that Great Britain should
appreciate this point. The Americans
cannot suppose that this unusual con-
gress of warships is an expression of
genuine British friendship, but what
ever it means, it serves no good pur-
pose, and the British government will
do itself favor by ordering its cruisers
away.
SAN Francisco, July 10.-A private
letter received in this city from Victoria
today states that the general opinion
prevails there that two fleet sailing craft
have been fitted out, armed and
equipped, and sent to Bering sea to aid
British sealing vessels to resist capture
by American revenue cutters. The Cor
win is at Victoria awaiting sailing Or
ders, and information has been received
that the cutter Oliver Wolcott, which has
i. been undergoing repairs at Seattle, has
been ordered to make ready at once and
proceed to Bering sea.

GRIFFIN, Ca, July 10.-A fatal race
riot occurred at Starts mill-pond, Fay
cite county, this afternoon. Four
negroes were killed and six wounded,
two of whom are reported dying. Eight
whites were shot, but it is thought only
one of them was killed. The trouble
started with a row between darkey
who was selling wine and white
man. The quarrel was taken up
by others, and many became involved.
Shooting soon became general. Empty
ing their weapons, demand was made
for more ammunition. The store-keeper
refused to sell, but the infuriated rioters
helped themselves to all he had There
were over fifty people on the grounds.
1t is mystery that more were not
fatally hurt. The trouble, it is feared,
is by no means ended, and another seri-
GUS fight is expected tonight or tomor-

cursion train on the Norfolk and West

under the influence of liquor, set upon a
white man in the train and nearly

tectives, who were on the train, in
terfered and terrific fight ensued,
in which the detectives were badly done
up and one negro was shot and others
badly beaten. The train was stopped
at station and citizens saved the de-
tectives lives Since then the feeling
has been very bitter, and trouble is

is prospect of rate war between the
Canadian Pacific and the Pacific Mail
steamship lines. The Canadian Pacifc's
steamer Abyssinia, advertised to sail
from Hongkong June 10th, will touch at
San Francisco, after calling at Vancou-
yer. If the Canadian Pacific persists in
this course, it is known positively that a
Pacific Mail steamer will run to Van
couver. This will result in rate war,
as the Pacific Mail is determined to
make the Canadian Pacific keep its
agreement not to touch at San Fran

Considerable Lukewarmness Toward

WASHINGTON, July 10.-The Republi-

No decision was reached, as it was be-

guide the Republicans in formulating
measures to meet the situation. The
speeches tonight show that there was a
decided majority for the federal election
bill, and it is said none strongly objected
to it, but a fairly good number showed
great deal of lukewarmness on the
subject. There was almost unanimity
in the opinion that it will be absolutely
necessary to adopt the closure rule in
