WASHINGTON, July 17.-Congressman
Grain of Texas was on the warpath to-day.
He was looking for O'Brien Moore, cor
respondent of the st. Louis Republic. 1t
seems that Moore telegraphed to his paper
that if several Democratic members. in
Guiding Grain, had remained at their post
OF duty. instead of drinking over the bar
across from the Capitol Building, the Fed
eral Election Bill might have been defeated
in the House. Grain was infuriated and
entering the House press gallery to-day he
fiourished his revolver excitedly and called
for Moore. The doughty newspaper men
scattered in all directions and took refuge
behind chairs. under the tables and various
other havens of safety. Grain was unable
to find Moore. who was in New York.
When they meet there may be another Con-

Testimony of DR.. Verdi Denying the Ez

Testimony of DR.. Verdi Denying the Exist
ence of the "Psdrone System"
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE House Com
mittee on Immigration to-day heard state
ment by DR.. Verdi of this city, himself
native of Italy, upon the subject of the
" Padrone" system. His statements mainly
were in refutation of those made by the
preceding witnesses respecting the exist
euce OF a system of Italian slave labor in
this country. He said he had lived forty
years in the United States and never yet
found an Italian lab0rer who worked under
a "padrOne." The Italians were not fools,
and not TO be Gulled so easily into surren-
dering themselves voluntarily into slavery.
The Italian Government appointed Com
mission to examine the emigration system,
and as result law was passed, which,
while recognizing personal rights, guarded
against unrestricted emigration assisted by
unworthy persons for personal gain. Pro-
hibItion was placed upon the emigration of
any class of persons whose immigration
was forbidden by the laws of the country
to which they sought to go. Italy needed
all her citizens, and was doing all she could
to keep them. As a matter OF fact, for So
briefly, intelligence and Skill, the Italians i'll
New York were not a fair sample. Repre-
sentative Oates, who had been q member of
the Ford Committee of the last Congress,
said there was little doubt that the Italian
restrictive law cited by DR.. Verdi, which
had not been in operation before this year.
would be of great benefit in preventing the
immigration Of an undesirable element.

Reagan spoke in opposition to the amend
ment and in favor of continuing the irriga-
tion survey.
Without finishing his remarks, Reagan
yielded the floor for motion to adjourn,
no progress having been made with the bill
to-day.
Allison offered resolution making it in
order at any time to move that debate ON
any amendments to appropriation bills be
limited to five minutes for each Senator,
the question of such motion to be deter
mined without debate. He remarked that
such a resolution had been frequently
adopted by the Senate.

A RECORD LOWERED.
Banquet Goes Mile and a. Quarter in Fasr
Time at Monmouth,

Time at Monmouth.
MONMOUTH PARK, July II. - According
to the gentlemen who held watches on the
Monmouth Park race-track to-day, the
record of 2:05 made by Salvador for a mile
and a quarter was broken by second and
a quarter by Banquet, the winner of the
Stockton stakes to-day. A doubt as to the
correctness of this time is expressed by
many who Witnessed the race, it being
argued that the timers did not catch the
start before the horses had run sixteenth.
The race was on straight course, and the
horses when they stood at the post could
not be seen with the naked eye, but with
the aid of glass they could just be dis
tinguished, but the track dust interrupted
even the view with glasses. The official
time was taken.
Banquet is bay geldng three years old,
by Ray0n d'0r, dam Ella I, and is owned
by Congressman w. l.. Scott.
The races resulted as follows: First
race, three-quarters of a mile, Menden won,
Lady Reel second, Blue Rock third. Time,
1:11R.

Debate on the sundry Civil Appropriation
Bill Con-ume5 the Day.

Debate on the Sundry Civil Appropriation
Bill Con7umes the Day.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE Senate re-
sumed consideration of tho Sundry Civil
Appropriation Bill this morning, the pend
ing question being on the amendment to
add to the appropriation OF 100000 for
topographic surveys provision that hall
that sum be expended west of the 101st
meridian, and that the act of October, 1888,
reserving irrigable lands, be repealed.
Call continued his argument OF yesterday
against the amendment. He argued in
favor OF the continuance of the irrigation
surveys, and said all irrigation schemes ON
a largo scale that have been successful have
been established by the Government. The
repeal of the irrigation law would, Call
said, open that vast area of arid lands of
100000 square miles to the operation of
foreign syndicates, who would seize much
of it under the desert land and timber land
laws. and the people would he deprived of
their use and occupation.
Moody argued in favor of oftbAamendment.
He spoke OF its transcendent importance to
the people of South Dakota. He ridiculed
the pretensions of Major Powell, and spoke
oil him as a Tycoon Of many tails" who
knew as much about the arid lands of the
west as he did Of the mountains OF the

The only ground on which seriously re-

Prince Henry of Battenberg. "Duke of
Heligoland" would not only have sounded
well, but the Duke might have been made

faction of all parties. If, after that, it had

Mrs. Mackay, presented herself at police
headquarters this afternoon. and gave an
unlimited expression of her opinion as to
the charge OF blackmail against her, which
appeared in the New York papers. She
openly defied the whole police force of the
continent TO run her down, and as much as
declared that she did not care for Bonanza
Ma kay, his wife, his e200 reward or any
thing or anybody. She will probably not
be punished for her slanderous statements
concerning Mrs. Mackay, as she is evidently
cranky, and is so recognized in Washington.

He gained all his prominence in the great
West when it was u trackless untrodden

with its early days of progress than with
any other section of the country. He al
ways believed this himself, and regarded
the Presidency of the California Society, as
successor Of Sutter, one of the greatest
honors of his life. California he looked
upon as his home. Members of his family
who have been consulted agree that Golden
Gate Park should hold his remains, and
their wishes will no doubt be complied

CHICAGO, July 17.-Much dissatisfaction
has been expressed by horsemen from the
South and elsewhere with the way in
which things have been going at Washing

dissatisfaction has been chiefly directed
toward the running Of the Chicago stable,
owned ty George Hawkins, a well-known
gambling-house keeper. His horses have
been running in and OUT in a remarkable
manner, and the papers Of this city, which
began with expressions Of mild astonish-
ment, have come to en- outright denuncia-
tiOn. There are threats made that, unless
Hawkins is expelled, none of the Southern
stables will be represented here next sea-
