SENATOR QUAY's NEW MOVE.
A Resolution Which He Did Not Sue
coed I'm Getting Before the Senate.

Senator Quay stirred up breeze again to-
day. While the consideration Of amendments
to the river and harbor appropria-
ton bill was proceeding quietly he asked
that unanimous consent be given for the intro
duction OF a resolution. The resolution was
read and contained the old provisions that
only certain bills should be considered this
session; that other bills be postponed until the
December, 1890, session, and that voting on
the tariff bill commence on August 30. As
soon as the resolution had been read Mr.. Ed
munds was on his feet protesting against its
present introduction. As unanimous consent
was necessary to introduce at tho time, the
resolution was withdrawn and is still in Mr.
Quays hands.
Mr.. Quay evidently wishes his resolution TO
be introduced and laid on the table. so that IL
can be called up at the first opportunity He
no doubt fears that the former resolution has
fallen into trance in the committee on rules
to which il was referred
Mr.. Quay said this afternoon that il was his
purpose to have the resolution considered in
the Senate. The resolution will probably be
adopted.
This, Of course, will interfere with the plans
OF the advocates OF the federal election bin to
secure another caucus.

A Lynching In Nebraska.

BLAIR, NEB., August 16-Chas. Pratt was
lynched by mob shortly before midnight last
night for the murder of Farmer N. u. Town
yesterday morning. About II O'Clock seventy
five men came from the country to the town.
They we're soon joined by two hundred others
from the city and marched directly 70 the Jail
The sheriff was there. together with fifteen
deputies, all of whom were armed. They made
no display of their weapons. All the lynchers
were armed with guns and revolvers. The
sheriff refused to deliver the keys to the jail,
but was soon overpowered, the deputies OFFER
ing no resistance to the invaders. The crowd
then quickly made its way to the cell in which
Pratt was confined, and seizing him, carried
him about q mile from town, where his hands
and feet we're bound. Pratt was then asked if
he had anything to say. aud he replied that the
Towns had wronged him and he was sorry he
did not kill them all While he was speaking
some one gave the rope u pull and he died with
a speech unfinished.

The Friends of the Election Bill Will
Not Recognize Quay In Their Councils.

The republicans have for some time felt Mr.
Quay TO be q load upon their backs, which they
must carry through the next campaign. Now
the prevailing opinion among the majority in the
House is that this is good opportunity TO get rid
of him and relieve the party of embarrassment
They feel that he has already done them ire
parable damage. Those who have felt that
there was an object in making fight to get
control OF the next House feel now that there
is no chance of success; they are dis
couraged and ready to let the con-
gressional campaign run as il may
All the talk OF refusing TO pass the tariff bill IL
the election bill is killed by the Senate, or Of
retaliating upon Mr.. Quay by striking of duty
from protected Pennsylvania products, will
come TO nothing. Ali notions of that sort are
exploded and abandoned as bad policy
They are determined merely to make Mr.
Quay feel the weight of their condemnation BY
giving him no recognition in party council.
Meanwhile the southern republicans in the
House are doing all they can TO correct the
course of the Senate. ambassadors from the
lower house are haunting the cloak rooms aud
committee rooms of the Senate.
CALLING BACK THE ABsESTEEs.
The advocates of the election bill are send
ing kilograms to the absent Senators Who are
known to favor the passage OF that bill, urging
enough Of their friends here to give them a
caucus majority, and if they succeed they
will have another caucus called in
three or four days, with the hope
of defeating the Quay men. If they can secure
action by another caucus favorable to the
election bill, they will devote their energies to
an effort to secure the attendance of enough
Senators who will follow the caucus to make @
quorum in the Senate. This will be
a more difficult task than the other, but if it is
successful radical course as has vet been
proposed, including a change Of rules and ar
bitrary exercise of power, will be followed to
secure the passage of the election bill.
1t does not seem probable at this time that
they will be able to fully carry out this plan.
1t appears that the object of laying aside
the Quay resolution in the last caucus
was TO save those Senators who want to post
pone action on the election bill from being in
the attitude of followers of the Pennsylvania
Senator. They prefer to attain their object py
means of their own deyising

EXTENT OF THE BUFFALO STRIKE
The New York Central Completely
Blocked at That Point.

BUFFALO, NY, August l6-The strike on the
Central which was supposed to be over took
a second turn this morning, when o'clock
am. the switchmen on that road in this city,
as well as the West Shore men, went
new complication, it is understood
ter at Black Rock was ordered to send three
men to the Exchange Street depot to take the
places of others who went out week ago,
which he did; Upon arriving at
;ns d ssssa Of theme ssns se i Sea Rsa
men declined to 60 to work, whereupon the
yardmaster was called upon and requested to
do something which, it Is claimed, was in the
nature Of taking another mans place, and he
declined. He was discharged and the Others
with him.
This was laid before the executive committee
Of the switchmen, and delegation from that
organization went to Superintendent Burrov
to talk with him upon the sub
ject. but it is alleged he would
have nothing whatever to do with
them, refusing TO discuss the subject. The
Switchmens' Union then called a meeting for
last night and after looking into the subject
the strike was ordered.
The situation about the Central depot and
yards today is a serious one. All trains, both
in and out, are delayed. Every belt line train
is behind and much difficulty is experienced in
handling cars.
At East Buffalo everything is quiet but
hardly wheel is turning. The switchmen
were keeping away from the companys prop
erty altogether. Superintendent of Police
NORM was early on the ground with lot Of
his men, but there was no work for them to do.
The strike of the New York Central has in
creased the Inconvenience already felt by
shippers at East Buffalo, particularly of live
stock for points blocked only by the Central,
and for a week past or since the strike was frst
reported the shipments OF live stock and
perishable freight consigned through have
fallen off

LYNCHERS ON A SPECIAL TRAIN
An Alabama Mob Determined to Hang
Negro.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, August l6.--About four
weeks ago a negro tried to rape young white
girl, daughter of Benjamin Carpenter, at
Jacksonville, Calhoun county. The negro was
arrested, and for two nights tho Jail was
guarded Thursday night mob Of 1000
swearing they would have the negro or burn
the Jail, started on their errand, but
the sheriff was too quick for them and shipped
the negro down to ADMISSION. Yesterday the
mob was reorgsnized at Admission swearing
vengeance on the negro and again the sheriff
was forced to ship his prisoner to some point
south of there, presumably Talladega. Late
yesterday afternoon the mob had a special
train chartered, cut the wires and will probably
have frst-class hanging tonight.
