method to disfranchise the negro; to destroy
the franchise OF large portion of the voting
population of this country who are entitled to
vote. There is a spectacle for you'll ZAP
plause. Do you mean, friends, to allow the
southeastern white man. because he votes in
the South, to count more than you do in the
government of this countryP Do you mean
that he shall have increased representation
in this Government so he will carry more
weight than you?" Applause.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-O'Ferrall of Vir-

The clerk called the roll on the approval
of Fridays journal. The Speaker hesitated
before he announced the result, there being
but two lacking of quorum.

they were recorded. After a sharp inter-
change between Taylor and O'Ferrall as to
the legality Of the latters seating as men,
ber of the House, the vote was announced

A call OF the House was ordered.
While the roll was being called, Sweeney

Then came the question of seating Lang
ston. Carried ON a division, O'Ferrall and
Cheadle alone voting in the negative.
Langston was then brought to the bar of
the House, and, amid applause, took the
oath. Then came chorus from the Repub-
lican side, "Call up the other cases."
The Election Committee called up the
South Carolina case of Miller against Eli
ott
Despite the efforts of O'Ferrall to block
the wheels the previous question was or
dered and despite the protest from Herr of
Iowa that one reason for its adoption should
be given, the resolutions unSeating Elliott
and seating Miller were agreed to without a
division.
Then the House went into Committee of
the Whole on the Senate amendments to the
Deficiency Bill.
McCreary OF Kentucky, who with a number
of other Democrats, then entered the cham
ber, inquired what bill was under con-
sheraton.
Henderson of Iowa, in response, said he
did not blame the gentleman for being
little behind on general legislation.
The afternoon was consumed in discus
sion of the French SpoliItion claims with
out action, and the committee rose.
Gambler oil Massachusetts, asked unanimous
consent for the consideration of his resolu-
tion providing that subcommittee of the
House Committee on the Worlds Fair shall
inquire into the progress being made by the
Fair Commissioners, but Kilgore objected.

THE CHINESE FLOODS.
Report of the United States Legation on the
nayactotiou

Great Devastation.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The Department
of State has received from the United States
Legation at Peking, China, report relative
to the recent heavy floods. The report says
the floods were the most serious ever known.
An area of 5000 miles and population of
several millions were affected by ihem.
Many people were drowned and tens of
thousands are living on charity.
One result of the floods may have far
reaching consequences. Near Lutai. which
is point ON the railroad from Rongku to
Tongsan, the railway embankment was de-
stroycd by people for miles. 1t was alleged
that the embankment was damaged by water
and flooded the country. 1t is supposed the
General in command at Lutai either insti-
gated or connived at these proceedings, in
which his soldiers largely took part.
A very serious feature of the case Is the
supineness of the Vlceroy Ii. He has done
nothing to prevent these lawless proceed
ings. Tho Tongsan Colliery is stopped and
1900 men are out of employment. and the
operation of the railroad is suspended. This
destruction was wantOn and unnecessary.
All the proceedings indicate anti-railroad
excitement, which may result in postponlng
indefinitely any further railroad enterprises
in China,

LONDON, Sept. 23-Slavin and McAuliffe
were arrag gned in the Lambeth Police Court
this morning and UOuud over TO keep the
peace in $1,000, each furnishing surety to ap-
pear when called upon. If any breach of
the peace occurs warrants will be issued and

Lord LOnSdale was present at the Or
monde Club meeting to-day, which lasted
t,So hours. The Secretary OF the club
Stated that by the decision Of the magis-
<trate the two pugiistS are at liberty to
compete Therefore, with view to coin-
Gliding with the magistrates remarks. the
men have agreed to reduce the number OF
rounds from thirty to fifteen. Slavin has
returned TO Dover Court.
u noblcman Of sporting proclivities has
arranged for Jackson, the colOred puglliSt,
to box the winner.
The Press Association announces that
Slavin and McAuiiffe will probably have a
glove fight within a few days under the
modified conditions.
NEW YORK, Sept 24-The Worlds Lon
Don special says: The arrest of the prize
lighters has resulted in an entirely new deal.
The fight Will come off at the Ormonde
Club as arranged and for the same stakes,
but it viii be for fifteen rounds iu-
stead Of thirty, and the gloves brought
from America will be made two
ounces heavier to comply with the law.
The date is not yet fixed. Another pro-
vision is that If the fight is broken up by the
police after the men are IN the ring each
pugilist is to get $3.50. Temple objected
to this, but Richard K, Fox insisted upon
it. and as Temple will save 9200 by this
arrangement. instead of letting the fight go
to a finish, the chances are very strong that
the police v i'll get another quiet tip.

Of California. The first intimation Of such a
