Inc only reason they mad not already
relieved the men OF this work was that
the company was r%onova.iug some OF lila
care, and these men were employed in
this work temporarily. When this was
done, it was intended to put the meu on
the work that conductors and operators
complained that they were Obliged to do,
This was done, Ar. Sweeney said, more
to have, the cars cleaned properly than
to relieve tho other men.
Judging from Mr.. Sweeney's talk,
there IL no foundation for tue rumor
that Mr.. LOTUS was to be discharged,
Mr.. Sweeney said the men made no sue
gestion Of a desire for his removal, and
offered no objection to him. This
statement, the President Of the Union,
last night, confirmed. So far as Is
known, no complaint as to MI. Loftus's
conduct has been made.

OUR SILVER LEGISLATION.

Interview With John J. Knox-Its
Tendency to Raise the Price OF
PrOductsin Countries Having n Sill
yer Currency.
New YORK, Aug 24.-Ex- United States
Comptroller John Jay Knox, president of
the Bank of the Republic, arrived to-day
on the steamer La Bourgogne. Mr.. Knox,
who has been spending much of his time
while in Europe with officers of the Bank
of England, Barring Brothers and other
prominent financiers, was asked how Eu-
ropean bankers viewed the silver legisla-
ton of the United States. He said that
while it was recognized in Europe that the
advance in silver would have tendency
to raise the price or cotton, cereals and
other productions of India, Egypt and other
countries havinga silver currency, the leg
lslation which hasc aused the advance in
the price of silver was looked upon with
favor. He said that England was doing
the international exchange business of the
world on the basis of the pound sterling,
which yields large commissions and profits
to her brokers and merchants; that she
naturally will do all possible to continue
the gold pound sterling standard rather
than facilitate a policy which would bring
about direct banking relations between the
silver countries
LONDON, Aug. 25.-Commenting on the
effects of the American silver bill, the
Times warns the silver interests to be in
readiness to meet the real, though perhaps
distant danger of a plethora of silver in
America, finding vent outside and fore

PLYMOUTH, Aug. 24.-The British steam
er Mentmore, Captain Waite, has arrived
on fire. The Mentmore left London on
Thursday last for Boston with large crew
on board. She carried no passengers be-
yond eight drove. At II o'clock this morn
ing, when fifteen miles off the Eddystone
Rocks, smoke was seen issuing from her
lower forehold, where quantity of rags,
jute, tallow and oil was slowed. The hose
was at once set to work but the fire gained
steadily. At 6 o'clock the vessel steamed
into Plymouth sound and signalled for as
sistance. A launch, with a hand fire en-
gine on board and several steam tenders
went to the rescue promptly and water
from dozen lines of hose was soon pour
ing into the hold. The steamer has been
flooded and the fire extinguished. She is
now in the harbor. 1t is believed that the
damage is confined to her cargo.

A Deserted Camp-The Second tegf-
ment Returns Saturday Afternoon
A Dress Parade on the Green.
Camp Embler at Mantle still exists, but
is merely the shadow of its former ami
mated self. All that now remains is a de-
pressing air of loneliness and few visible
relics of its military inhabitants for the
past week. The different companies all
left Saturday afternoon for their different
points OF destination, and in a few hours
all the heroes of war, We're we to have one,
were safe back at home.
The Second regiment arrived in New
Haven at , o'clock in the afternoon. The
companies disembarled at the Union depot
and Immediately formed in line on Meadow
street. They first marched to the armory,
where the city battalion discarded their
knapsacks and prepared for dress parade.
Companies A and G remained in the ar
mory and the city battalion, under com
mand of Colonel Doherty, marched to the
green, where a dress parade was given.
The men made a very ereditable appear
| ance and did not give evidence that the
wear and tear of camp life had been so Sc
rious after all. Their appearance attract
ed large crowd of people who came out
to witness their nanoeuyres. at the con
clusion of the exercises on the green the
battalion marched to the arnory where
the companies We're dismissed.
Companies and G of Waterbury, and
Company X of Wallingford returned home
in the afternoon. Company II of Middle
town left Mantle with the FiIst regiment
and went home by way of the Valley rOad
from Saybrook junction.
Thus ends military camp life in this
state for another year. and a highly sue
cessful encampment !: proved. Excepting
the unfortunate accident that happened to
William Meyers of Winsted nothing oc-
CURED of a serious nature. There were u
few cases of mild illness that occurred for

drill work done by the men
| this year reflects much credit on
all the parties concerned and will
compare favorably with that of any
state militia. Camp life this, as other
years, has had its stern textures relaxed in
various ways of amusement and pleasure

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. PA farewell

Peterhof palace to Emperor William. The
car, Emperor William Chancellor Won
Caprivi, NJ. de Giers and number of
other leading officials were present. After
the banquet the car and the emperor
went out upon balcony which overlooks
the gardens of the palace. These were
brilliantly illuminated, the fountains, the
cascades and grottoes being lighted up
with colored fires and presenting
dazzling spectacle. Conspicuous among
other devices was huge shield on which
were displayed the German emperor's ini-
tails in letters of fire and the coat of arms
of Prussia At 10 o'clock the emperor de
parted. He was accompanied to the quay
by the car.
The Greshdanin says that while the car
and Emperor William desire peace in order
to be able to occupy themselves with inter
nal affairs there is no problem that can
serve them as u motive for common action.
The interview, therefore, could admit of
no object beyond that of strength, then the

the amicable relations existing between
Russia and Germany.

COMING WEEK IN CONGRESS.

Two Conference Reports TO be Pre-.
scented During the Present Week
The Tariff Bill Only 10 be Inter-
rupted BY Appropriation bills
Plans OF the House..
WASHINGTON, Aug. M.-The order of
business for the remainder of the ses-
sion, arranged by the republican commit
tee of the senate, provides that the consid-
Grafton of the tariff bill shall be completed
without interruption except by appropria-
ton bills and conference reports. There
are two conference reports expected to be
presented during the week-one on the ir-
rigation survey provisions of the sundry
civil bill and the other one the land grant
forfeiture bill. One day, possibly two,
will be occupied in the discussion and dis
position of these conference reports SEN
ator Aldrich, in charge of the tariff bill, will
before the senate meets tomorrow
endeavor to. reach an agreement with
the democratic senators to the
date on which vote shall begin on the bill
and amendments. If successful he will
then ask unanimous consent to have vot-
ing begin on the date agreed upon. He
will also ask that debate during the last
three days shall be conducted under the
five-minute rule. The democrats desire
that the six hours next preceding the final
vote on the bill shall be occupied in gen.
eral debate, to be equally divided between
the two sides. Under this arrangement, if
it is carried out, Mr.. Carlisle will close for
the democrats and Mr.. Aldrich for the re-
publicans.
The program for the weeks proceedings
in the house has already been agreed upon
by that body as to part of the time and the
rules committee will probably provide for
the disposition of the remainder. Monday
would be District day in the ordinary
course of business, but it is possible that
the river and harbor bill will be again put
forward to the exclusion of district matters.
Tuesday and Wednesday will be occupied
by the committee on agriculture with the
options bill, and Thursday and Saturday
are to be assigned to the committee on
labor, which has the eight-hour bill and
other labor measures ready for action.
Friday will thus be given up to the consid-
Grafton of private bills, conference re-
ports, OF possibly to the river and harbor
bill if it is not out of the way.

Rev. Mr.. Armstrong of Nashua
breaches TO Large Congregations at
the First Methodist Church.
Rev. ]. 2. Armstrong of Nashua, N. H,
occupied the pulpit yesterday of the First
Methodist church at both the morning and
evening services. Both the congregations
were large for the season and were much
interested in the preaching of Mr.. Arm
strong. The text of his morning sermon
was: "Behold, Show You Mystery"
He went on to trace the mysteries sur
rounding men which science cannot ex-
plain and which are as sealed book. He
went on to show that the Christian religion
is worthy of belief not only by one who
holdsit by faith alone, but even by the doubt
ing man of science or skeptic believer in
the theory of Darwin. 1t appeals to the
inmost consciousness of the human soul
and its foundations are strong in the heart
of humanity. It is based upon the testis
mony of millions who have been support
ed by it in every trying phase of life. 1t
affords cheerfulness, serenity and hope in
the midst of ife's severest trial and deep
est gloom He demonstrated abundantly
its sufficiency to meet the needs and crav-
ings of the human soul.
The sermon was a mastery and able eff.
fort Mr.. Armstrong is preacher of tell
ing power and the audience listened with
wrapt and earnest attention, and frequent
| ly amens were heard in testimony of ap
| probation.
