THE CHANGES FEW.

the minority, and that he will not do SO
until the entire bill has been placed in his
hands. This need not delay the reporting
of the bill to the Senate by the majority, he
says, as the minority will ask leave to pre-
sent its views at a subsequent date.

occasioned by the continued spread Of the
cholera at Puebla dc Rugat.

TAKING OF THE CENSUS.
CHICAGO PAVING THE WAY Foa
A BIO HOWL.


A Claim That Hundreds OF Families
Are Not Included in the Records Of
the Enumerators - Superintendent
Porter May be Able to Give Some
Facts This Week.
CHICAGO, June 16.-The Daily Netos this
morning prints number of complaints in
dicating that the federal csnsus, which was
practically completed last night, is decidedly
faulty so far as Chicago Is concerned. The
gist of the statements given is that whether
from lack Of time, Incompetence or negli-
gence,a great number OF families have been
left unvisited, and that the omissions are
possibly OF such q wholesale character as
to make the enumeration little better than
farce.
BUT FEW RETURNS RECEIVED YET.
WASHINGTON, June vely
Few census returns have yet been received
by Supt. Porter. Although the enumera~
tion OF the population of each Of the large
cities was in most cases practically COM
pleted last Saturday evening, il is not ex-
pected that the work will be wholly finished
in all Of them until next Friday evening,
when the fourteen working days which the
law allows for the work will end. Up TO this
time returns have been received from q
few districts in the city of Washington,
New York. Philadelphia, Pittsburg and
Shreveport, La.
ELECTRIC COUNTING MACHINES.
Electric counting machines will be used
in counting from the schedules, so that but
little time will bs necessary In making
computations after the schedules are re-
ceived. 1t js expected that the population
of Washington, and possibly that OF a.
number Of other cities, can be announced
late In tho present week.
COMPLAINTS AT WASHINGTON.
Since the announcement that the enum-
Grafton of the inhabitants of the city has
closed number OF complaints have been
made by those who insisted that they had
not been counted. Inquiries OF number
Of people by Post reporters would seem to
indicate that the census had not been accu-
rately and completely taken. In the eds.
torial and composing rooms Of the paper
there are a number Of persons omitted by
the enumerators Numerous complaints
have also been received by the local super
visor of the census from persons who com-
plain that the enumerators failed to get
their names.

CHARLESTON. s. G., June 16-The worh

sons In ireland. They wanted to know how
this shadowing could prevent boycotting.
BALFoUR EXPLAINS.
Secretary Balfour replied that no one was
shadowed unless he was known TO be en-
gagged in intimidation. The government
would promise to reduce the system only on
condition that the Parnellites promised to
induce the persons shadowed to abstain
from intimidation. [Cheers from the gov
ernment members.

bio outrage there is bloodshed it will be upon

ACoMPRoMIsR SILVER BILL.
The Compromise Outlined In the News
the One to be Put Through.

the One TO be Put Through.
WASHINGTON, June 16.-Pledges OF
secrecy prevented the republican senators
from acknowledging the truth Of the article
IN the NEWS, whose publication they regard
as premature, about the determination to
put through the Senate and then through
the House a compromise silver bill extend
ing the Bland act 30 as to require the coinage
of the S4, ,000. 900 maximum every month.
Neither Speaker Reed, who suggested, nor
President Harrison, who executed the coup
d'etdt nor the silver senator's who accepted
it, wanted it known before tomorrow, or
whenever the bill is up for amendment.
They do not fear, however, that the pub
licity given to it will prevent its consum-
nation.
HARRISON LAYS DOWN THE LAW.
The President told the silver senator's
frankly at a conference last week that this
compromise was the most liberal proposition
that he would sign; and inasmuch as they
do not want a veto, because they fear its
effect upon the Republican party, they will
take this as the best they can get. Mean
WHILE Of course, they keep up great deal
of talk about passing a free coinage bill.
Unless something breaks they will pass the
Reed Harrison bill in the Senate. Speaker
fteed mas PROMISED 20 put IL through tne
House. and he will, in spite of the
opposition of Mr.. Walker of Massachusetts,
and other eastern men. Speaker Reed
knows that all the opposition in his party
in the House melts when it comes to vote,
and he counts on this in the silver matter as
well as other things.
Senator Ingalls, advertises q speech on the
silver question tomorrow, by way of
crowding the galleries He and Mr. Plumb
are in a most demagogical state of mind on
the subject.

sented the petition OF the ex-soldiers OF

Mr.. Sayers of Texas offered an amend.
ment making specific appropriation ln-
stead Of an indefinite appropriation for the

prIation concealed an expenditure of $702,-

concealed an expenditure of $500, 900.
In the course of an extended po-
litical debate, Mr.. McComas of Maryland
predicted the passage of law which would
insure free ballot and fair count in the
southern states. Mr.. Sayers' amendment,
as far as i6 affected back pay, was agreed to
by vote Of II to rs, but as far as it affected
the bounty clause was lost by q vote of 6S
to 10.

ment to enforce the eght-hour law in the
government printing office which was ruled
