The Livingston Boom Killed by tho
Convention Developments.
ATLANTA, Aug. THE reported opposi-
tion to Gov Gordon is dead; at least there
is every reason to think so. The matter was
in doubt until to-day's convention assem-
bled. but the strong Gordon sentiment ex-
hibited by the delegates has. it is
safe to predict, put quietus on
the ambitious schemes of Col.
Livingston, if he ever entertained
them. A gentleman who ought to know, il
he does not, said to-day that there would be
absolutely no opposition to Gov. Gordon's
election 70 the Senate A very large pro-
portion of the alliancemen favor it, and the
rest see plainly how difficult it would be to
hold the body together were the fight on

tween Col. Livingston and Gov.
Gordon originated among the newspaper
gossips, and fatty declare that they VIII not
give the alliance boss the support ne ex-

torial chair and shaving off Gordons mead.

The Tillmanites Send a ContestinR
Delegation From Charleston.
CHARLESTON, s. C., Aug. THE demo-
cratic primary election for delegates to the
county convention will be held tomorrow.
A big vote will be polled, and the straight
out democrats confidently count on snow
ing under the Tillmanites. The latter have
thus far put out a ticket In only three Of
the eight wards. but it is said that they will
have out tickets in several other wards. j.
ID. Murphy, who runs the Tillman machine
here, said tonight: I'VE have set several
traps for the straightout democrats, and
they have fallen into them. We were re-
fused representation on the board of mana
gers Of the election, and were also refused
an inspection Of the registration books.
TO HOLD THEIR OWN CONVENTION.
In the primaries tomorrow there will
probably be other frauds, and we propose,
therefore, to hold our own convention and
send delegation to the state convention,
and as sure as there Is heaven our delega-
tion will be seated and the straightouts
turned out. don't care whether we vote
at the primary tomorrow OF not. We are
| going to send our own delegation.
| He added that 1t was not at
all improbable that the TillmanIte county
convention would also nominate county
officers. The situation is a peculiar one.
There is scarcely time for a convention TO
| be called, and it Is supposed that the Till
mantle plan is to nominate a ticket i'll each
| ward, vote for them tomorrow and instead
| of going into the democratic convention on
Monday, organize their own convention anc
| 20 ahead on their own hook.

PUSHING THE TARIFF BILL.
The River and Harbor Measure to be
Put Aside for a Day.

The River and Harbor Measure to be
Put Aside for Day.
WASHINGTON, Aug. AT the request of
the managers of the tariff bill, the republi-
can members of the Senate committee on
commerce have agreed that consideration of
the river and harbor bill, which was to have
displaced the tariff bill TO morrow, will be
postponed until future date probably Fri
day of next week. The reason for this
change Of the programme is belief that it
will tend to hasten the progress of the
debate on the tariff bill, the repub licans
arguing that the democrats desire action on
the river and harhor bill earnestly enough
to hurry the tariff bill out Of the way to
reach it.
In the Senate this afternoon Mr.. Frye,
referring to the notice heretofore given
that he would ask the Senate tomorrow " to
take up the river aud harbor bill, gave
notice that he would not do SO tomorrow,
but he would on Friday of next week.
Mr.. Mitchell suggested that Mr.. Frye
should ask unanimous consent to fix Friday
of next week for the river and harbor bill.
While discussion upon this point was
going on Mr.. Blair rose, to the amusement
of the Senate. He said: "Mr. President

MAKING UP SHORTAGES.
The House Busy With the Deficiency
Appropriation Bill.

WASHINGTON, Aug. TN the House this
morning, on motion of Mr.. Bingham of
Pennsylvania, a resolution was adopted
calling on the postmaster-general for copies
of the agreements for the transportation Of
the mails between the United States and
foreign countries, the conditions upon which
the awards were made and the rates of pay
ment for the service.
The House then went into committee of
the whole. with Mr.. Payson in the chair, on
the general deficiency bill.
AFAT THING FOR MATTHEW'S.
Mr.. Rogers of Arkansas moved to strike
out the clause appropriating $1,000 to pay
George A. Matthews in full for the unex-
pired term of the Fifty-first congress, for
which he was elected from the territory of
Dakota. The notion was lost, after de-
bate, by a vote of 63 to 49.
Mr.. Clunie of California offered an
amendment granting an extra months pay
to the employees of the Senate and House.
in favor Of his amendment, asking
support for it on the ground
that the session had lasted much longer
than had been expected. He could not see
the end of the session. If the Senate under
took 10 pass the outrageous and iniquitous
force bill congress would be in session when
the snow was flying.
IN THE NATURE OF TIP.
Mr.. Hopkins of Illinois and Mr.. Oates of
Alabama led the opposition to the propo-
sition, denouncing it as establishing q
vicious principle, the principle of tips.
The amendment was adopted by a vote Of
II to 43.
The bill having been disposed of the com
mittee rose, all the amendments were agreed
to save that granting an extra months
salary to the Senate and House employees
and then the bill went over until tomorrow
On motion of Mr.. Dunnell of Minnesota
the bill was passed applying the interstate

LONDON, Aug. IA dispatch TO tho
Times from Busnos Ayres says that after
the reading in the Chamber Of Deputies of
President Celmans message, rendering his
resignation of the presidency, Gen. Rocca
invited the members to express their opiu-
ions as to the advisability of its acceptance.
Gen. Mansello opposed It's acceptance on
the ground that such action would be an
admission of the triumph Of the revolution
lists, and of Buenos Ayres over the other
provinces of the republic. Hedeclared that
the action of the President in rendering his
resignation was culpable cowardice. Gen.
Rocca explained that he bad sacrificed him.

for President Celman to continue In the
presidency after the mistakes made by the
members of the presidents party.
ENTIRELY INCOMPETENT.
Nobody, he declared, could serve a man
who had shown such complete incapacity.
He gravely compromised the country. 1t
was not Buenos Ayres alone which opposed
Celman, but every province OF the republic
and every honest man was against him.
Gen. Rocca's remarks were greeted with
applause.
The vote on accepting the resignation was
taken, but when the result was announced

is much rejoicing throughout the city at the

A ROW OVER RECIPROCITY.
The Truce Patched Up Among tht

The Truce Patched Up Among the
Leaders Not Very Stable.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Underneath the
dramatic appearance Of harmony now being
exhibited by the republican leaders on the
reciprocity question lie the old dissensions
and antagonisms. President Harrison and
Secretary Blaine, Speaker Reed and Chair
man Mckinley are still rivals for the presi-
dency, and they are only harmonizing under
a strict necessity. Speaker Reed is the
least harmonized or all He does not like
to admit even for the sake of harmony
that Secretary Blaine has won even a
theatrical victory. He proposes to scrutinize
that harmonious reciprocity when it comes
over to the House very carefully, and ifsshe
does not like it he will knock it out. With
Speaker Reed in this state of mind, it may
be difficult for President Harrison and the
other managers to manage the large num-
rbers of House republicans who are opposed
to reciprocity. They can be overcome with
democratic votes, but President Harrison
objects TO this

Sentries With Guns and officers With
Drawn Revolvers Keep the Gang
From scaling the Walls-The Mu-
tineers Conquered After a Desperate
Hand-to-Hand Fight.
Boston, Aug. For some time trouble
has been brewing at the Charlestown s ate
prison, having its origin in the objection
OF the inmates TO submit TO the enforce
ment of the Bertilon system Of measure
ment. The recent escape of prisoner
Moore and the unsuccessful attempt Of
Chicken Wash, a notorious convict, has
served to keep matters unsettled, but for
several days there has been no decided OUT
break. This afternoon, however, the con-
victs in the shoe shop refused to obey ths
orders of their keepers, and
as II by some prearranged
signal all set up terrific yell, and missiles
of every description we're sent flying in all
directions. The windows on the north and
west side were entirely demolished.
DASH FOR LIBERTY.
Then they made dash for the yard. A
large wagon standing in the enclosure was
pushed toward the wall by a mob Of over
fifty convicts, but in the excitement it was

walls. Instantly the sentiuels tegan firing
to frighten them. Other officers of the in
stitution were quickly at hand with drawn
revolvers, and soon marched the gang in
groups after hard fight. in which clubs
were used and many of the convict's heads
badly crushed.
POLICE TO THE RESCUE.
Word was quickly sent to police head
quarters. and insa short time about twenty
officers reached the prison in patrol wagons.
Upon entering the yard they were met
with cries of derision by the convicts, who
were finally locked up in their cells Sew
eral of the convicts were found hidden
about the shops, and ii was feared that one
or two had escaped. The guard on tho
| wall has been more than usual, and large
numbers of police are in the yards and COR

YELLING IN THEIR CELLS.
After the prisoners had been locked up
they continued their yelling for some time,
despite all the efforts OF the officers. They
we're then taken from their cells singly and

said to have been instigated by Chicken

window at Sentry Moore, but without
