MAHoNn's FINGER IN THE PIE.
He is Trying to Beat Langston anC

He is Trying to Beat Langston and
the Force Bill.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-Ex-Senator Ma
hone having refused the consul generalship
to Paris and the mission to Spain because,
according to his white leutenants negroes
being excluded, he did not want to take
office from President Harrison or serve
under Secretary Blaine, has spent the past
two days organizing an opposition to the
seating of Langston and to the force bill
right here in Washington. To that end he
has gathered together fifty or sixty Of his
followers, including dozen prominent fed
eral office-holders, and held what he termed
committee of Virginia.
Besides the formal preamble and resolu-
tions which they gave out to the press they
did several other things. One was to deter
mine to abandon all but three congressional
districts to the democrats next fall, in
cluding Gen. Mahone's own district, which
Langston is TO contest again. Another was
to appoint a subcommittee TO lobby with
the republican members of the House
against seating Langston, Gen. Malone be-
ing very furious at the thought of being
represented in the House by 'nigger."
WAR ON THE FORCE BILL.
Another was to protest secretly to the re-
publican senators against the force bill,
which Gen. Malone sees TO be inexpedient.
He publicly states that his opposition to it
is due to tue fact that it does not go far
enough. 1t ought, he says, TO apply to the
election of legislators which are to elect
United Statee.senators. But really he agrees
with Senator Quay that it Is unwise to pass
such a law.
The so-called committee passed resolutions
declaring that they will not participate, and
advising all seh.respecting republicans to
forbear participating in an election in a
state where, and so long as such
shall be conducted with the election
laws under the control Of the
Democratic party as now fraudulently ad
ministered, hopefully biding the time when
unlawful Acknowledgement Of electors and
fraudulent returns shall become repugnant
to popular sentiment. Meantime in Difference
and only in Difference to what may be wished
it some districts, authority is delegated to
every congressional committee TO call con-
veutions If it desires TO do so.

PUT A AKING ON ATHR0NE.
Mr.. NMILLIN CRITICIzEs OUR AC-
TON IN SAMOA.

He Charges That the Man Enthroned
Was a scapegrace Not Wanted by
the Natives-Mr. Hit Trys to Shut
of the Debate and g Parliamentary
Skirmish Follows.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-In the House to
day Mr.. Farquhar of New York called up
the conference report on the bill appropri-
atiug SIS, 900 for the relief of Albert II.
Emery, and demanded the previous ques-
tion thereon. After a good deal of time
had been used up by the democrats in par
liamentary opposition, the conference re-
port was agreed to.
Mr. Hit presented the conference report
on the diplomatic and consular appropri-
alton bill In the course Of its discussion,
reference having been made to the appro-
priation made by the last bill for the pro-
lection of the rights of the United States in
Samoa, Mr.. McMillin of Tennessee de-
clared that it now appeared that the entire
result of the Samoan negotiations had been
to enthrone a king-a fact not generally
known. Our representatives sent abroad
for the purpose OF settling Samoan matters
had actually gone 70 the extent of over
riding the will Of the people Of Samoa and
setting up as king a scapegrace who had
been dethrOned, and, moreover, this Amer1-
can administration had undertaken TO pay
part of the expenses of his kingdom.
THE PREVIOUS QUESTION DEMANDED.
Mr.. Hit demanded the previous question,
declining TO yield to Mr.. McMillin, who was
desirous of continuing the Samoan con-
troversy.
Thereupon Mr.. McMillin raised the point
of no quorum, pending which MIR. Rogers
of Arkansas moved that the House adjourn.
The motion to adjourn was lost, the vote
standing GO yeas to 9S nays
The previous question was then ordered,
the vote standing 10S yeas to A nays, the
speaker counting a quorum, and then Mr..
McMillin, who had voted in the affirmative
for that purpose, moved reconsideration.
The vote on tabling the motion to reconsider
resulted in 104 yeas to so nays, the speaker
counting, through the clerk, quorum and
declaring the motion carried.
Mr.. Breckenridge of Kentucky challenged
the correctness Of I'll o count. instancing the
names of Messrs. Enloe. Herbert, Grain and
Fithian, and stating that they had not been
present. Subsequently, on representations
made by Mr.. Taylor of Illinois and Mr..
Stockbrldge, he withdrew his challenge to
the names of Messrs. Grain and Fithian,
but persevered as far as the names of
Messrs. Enloe and Herbert were concerned.
THE SPEAKER CARRIES HIS POINT.
The speaker, while admitting the neces-
sity for absolute correctness iGthe record of
those members present and not voting,
stated that even eliminating the names of
Messrs Enlos and Herbert there was a
quorum present. He therefore declared the
motion to table carried, and put the ques-
| ton ON agreeing to the conference report.
The vote resulted in Ill yeas to 33 nays, and
the speaker was unable to count quorum,
so the conference report was not agreed to
for the present.

the vote by which the marine signal bill
was passed, and then, at $3.50 o'clock, the

General In Command.

Two Mounted Divisions Escort the
General In Command.
MILWAUKEE, July 9.-The review of the
PyJhian army by Gen. Carnahan this after
noon at Cold Spring park was the event Of
the day. Thousands Of people gathered to
witness the review, and the soldierly-bear-
ing and military precision of the Pythians
was the subject of much comment. Gen.
Carnahan, mounted on magnificent white
horse and surrounded by his staff, took a
position in front Of the grand stand. Be-
hind him was the splendidly equipped
division Of the Chicago Banner Zouaves,
and on his right was the Hussar division of
Sioux City. Every man was mounted on
a thoroughbred, the divisions acting as
escort to the commander-in-chief.
WISCONSIN LEADS THE LINE.
The large Wisconsin brigade came first,
followed in rapid succession by the men
from other states.
The prize drills were begun today and
will be continued every day until finished.
The divisions from st. Louis and New
Albany, Ind, and Grand Rapids, Mich,
appeared to-day and carefully executed the
programme The movements Of each were
greeted with applause.
The supreme lodge will elect officers to-
morrow, and George B. Shaw Of Eau Claire
will be chosen supreme chancellor.
Omaha is said to be ahead for the place
of the next meeting, but several other cities
will try to get it.

CLEVELAND, July 9.-The wind storm
which swept this city last evening was per-
haps the most severe, as regards destruction
to property, ever experienced here. The
advance Of the storm seemed to be num-
Der of sharp, quick gusts Of wind that
wrecked chimneys, blew down trees and
sent everything movable through the air.
Its coming was shown by cloud of dust
fully 100 feet high, which obscured the sun
and made the streets dark as midnight.
Not a single object could be discovered at
the distance of fifty feet. Fine dust filed
the eyes and sifted into the clothing, and
breathing to those on the streets was inn
possible without handkerchiefs pressed to
the nostrils.
RAIN IN SHEETS.
Then came rain In sheets, breaking down
many plants and causing immense damage
to crops. The rainfall measured but three
tenths Of an inch. however. The precipita-

more trees than any that has occurred here
in years. In every part OF the city large
trees were uprooted as though they
had been pulled from the ground
by the force Of whirlwind,
and the streets everywhere we're Uttered
with broken branches, and there was no
lack Of evidence that the storm was OF most
unusual violence.
The course of the wind was uncertain, and
it shifted in eddies and whirling currents in
a manner best calculated to cause heavy
loss of property.
During the storm the electric light mast
at the corner of Bank and Lake streets fell
with deafening crash. The lights which
it formerly supported could be seen almost
fifteen miles further on the lake than the
government beacon.
Three immense hosting machines on the
ore docks were demolished. The loss on
these alone will be $4,000. This is the
largest single item Of loss, but the aggre-
gate of the damage distributed about the
city is immense

PLANS OF THE SENATE.
To-NrGHT's REPUBLICAN CAUCUS
TO DECIDE.

No Agreement Reached to Pass the
Tariff Bill and Abandon the Election
Measure-spesker Reed Doing His
Best to Have the Latter Put Through.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-The republican
senators expect to hold their caucus to-
morrow night to determine what they will
do for the rest Of the session. Both the re-
publican and the democratic leaders say
that no agreement, formal or informal, has
been made between the two sides by which
the tariff bill is 60 be passed and the force
bill is to be abandoned. This is what in
dividuals on both sides would like, but it
has not been done. The republican senators
desiring the election bill taken up have
been circulating to-day paper binding the
republican senators signing it to help take
UP the force bill. 1t has not as yet received
the signatures Of a majority, but they ex-
poet to have them by tomorrow.
WHAT THE CHANCES ARE.
The chances now are that the caucus will
determine to take the force bill up, passing
the tariff bill first, but not changing the
rules Later on, after the democrats have
delayed the silver bill and the tariff bill and
every other bill as long as possible, the
republicans may determine either to change
the rules or to abandon the election bill. IL
seems impossible Tor them to pass 1t without
changing the rules.
A TRIUMPH FOR REED.
II they agree tomorrow night TO take it
up it will be a great triumph for Speaker
Reed. He has used all his arts and all his
threats on the republican senators. He has
not gone over TO the senate personally, but
he has sent his lieutenants over around with
his irony and ridicule and warnings. He
has told the republican senators through
these messengers that they cannot afford to
let the bill drop now, even although they
may not be able to pass It in time for use
at next November's elections. Dramatic
effect, he contends, demands an attempt at
least to pass it.
REED WOULD GO THE FULL LENGTH.
He, of course. recommends the adoption
Of his rules aud short, sharp campaign
which would put the tariff and force bills
both through by Aug. Is. The republican
senator's, dragooned against their will into
taking the bill up at all, only small ma
jority really favoring it, have not as yet
got to the point Of changing the rules. The
opponents of the bill are not as active as
the friends of it. If they were they could
defeat it in caucus yet.

House BILL
WASHINGTON. July 9.--The sundry civil
bill, as reported to the Senate today by the
appropriation committee, carries an appro-
priation of $S1 ,241 $50, an increase Of
3,181, 900 over the bill as it came from the
House. The estimates for the year were
S37, $40, 513, so that the bill as reported is
sc, $50, ,172 less that the estimates, and
1884, ,33S more than the bill OF last year.
The most important feature of the work Of
the Senate committee on this bill is the
elimination of the appropriation of $777, 800
for an irrigation survey.
A SUCCESSFUL ATTACK.
The provision was attacked by number
of senator's, and they succeeded in defeat
ing it in the committee. Their opposition
was based largely upon the ground that its
effect would be to reserve from the public
domain a vast amount OF public lands
which should be open to settlement.
The appropriation for topographic sur
veys by the geological survey, however, is
increased from 500, 900 to $300,000.
An appropriation of $500,000 is made for
the establishment of Latin-American
memorial library building IN the city Of
Washington, as recommended by the Pan
American conference. to be situated on or

other inspectors could have closed the mine,
as the mine boss had made report that
fatal morning saying there was no gas in
the mine. John Kerwin, who drove his
pick into the bore hole, told a dramatic
story Of the ensuing rush OF water and gas

that they would have used small drill In

man 10 pick into it. Ii developed that the
company had made promises to remedy the
defects in the mine"
