BERLIN, June 10-!The Reichstag re-

renamed for the remainder Of the session.
They are:
President-Von Levetzow, conservative.
First Vice President-Count Ballestrem.
centrist.
Second Vice President-Dr. Baumbach,
liberal.
During the session Chancellor Won Caprivi.
in reply to a question by Herr Richter, said
that the passport regulations applying to
Alsace-Lorraine were rendered neces-
sary by the number of cases Of treason
brought before the tribunals, but their
enforcement was more especially necessary
for military purposes. They were designed
to render intercourse between Alsatians and
French more difficult, and to accelerate the
denomination of the province The pass
port regulations, the chancellor declared,
could not be abolished for long time to
come. Members of the French army could
not be permitted to reside in the province in
order to turn into hunting grounds what in
the event Of war might become battle fields.
WORKING WELL
The regulations were working well, but
their whole effect would only be apparent
after they had been in operation for some
time. The severity of the provisions had
been removed by their milder application.
Continuing, the chancellor said: Whether
we will be able to continue the course of
moderation depends upon the attitude of
those concerned toward the measure.
Gratifying signs of improvement
are apparent in the relations
between Germany and France.
should regret to see them again become
troubled. In no country are international
relations so difficult or the necessity for in
dulgent consideration so great as in Ger
many. 1t is not to Germany's interest to
bring forward question Of this nature,
which would raise new hopes and illusions

said the chancellor, 'leave the responsibility
with the quesrioners."
GOOD EFFECTS DENIED.
Several Alsatian deputies declared that
the passport regulations injured the
economic condition and had no Germaniz-
ing influences.
Herren Kardoff, Bennigzen and Putkam-
mer maintained that the regulations were
only adopted when urgently necessary.
They were of the opinion that Count Won
Caprivi could be trusted to enforce the regu-
lations only when absolutely necessary and
with the least vigor possible.

CALL ON SILVER.
Mr.. Call addressed the Senate. The bill,
be said, did not answer the demands of the
country and necessity of coinage at this time
Free and unlimited coinage of the precious
metals was, in his Judgment, the only
proper solution of the financial trouble
which now rested on the country. Any
modification of that idea in the shape of
limitation or of purchase of silver bv the

bill went over till tomorrow.

BELDEN ASQUAYSRIVAL.
THE NEW CHAIRMAN IMAGINES
HIMSELF A GREAT LEADER.

His Promise to Elect a Republican
Majority to the Next House Amuses
the More Experienced Pennsylvan-
ian-The Split With Secretary Olds
Considered a Grave Mistake.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-The republican
congressional campaign committee elected
Representative James J. Belden Of New
York chairman because of his barrel, and
not because Of his brains. He either does
not, or will not, recognize this, and poses
already as a rival of Chairman Quay in
political management, while he has not as
yet even paid for the furniture of the head
quarters he opened to-day, and has not
even intimated the size Of his coming
checks.
AMUSING CONFIDENCE.
He takes up the task of electing a repub-
lican House to the next congress. which the
sagacious Quay declined as hopeless, with
airy alacrity, and announced to-day as he
opened his headquarters that he expected to
elect republican majority, and see Rep
resentative Reed reelected speaker
in the next House, pre-
diction which makes Senator Quay
smile. While Chairman Belden was bluff
lag to-day In this imaginative way, the only
chance he had of fulfilling slipped away
from him. The committee, when selecting
Mr.. Belden to be its barrel, selected Schuy
Ter Olds Of Michigan as its brains, with the
title Of secretary. Olds is the cleverest
politician in Michigan, where he has been
for fourteen years secretary and manager
of the republican state committee.
HAD A FAT PLACE.
After he elected Millionaire Stockbridge
to the Senate he came to Washington with
him as private secretary, Senator Stock
bridge turning over his salary to him and
paying him a good salary besides. Long
familiarity with the senator's barrel and
Doodle methods made Secretary Olds. in
the Judgment of the men who made
the congressional committee, just the man
to expend Mr. Belden's bullion profitably in
buying majority of the next House. But
Mr.. Belden, pufFed up with his new import
ance, did not take kindly to his guardian
and guide, and began to boycott him.
Finally he proceeded to install his own
private secretary, a young and inexperienced
stenographer, as his personal representative
at the headquarters, of course outranklng
Oids.
CAPPED THE CLIMAX.
This was the climax of a series of dis
hgreeaole uolngs, lncluoing stronR oDJec-
tion on M. Belden's part against what he
termed "the extravaganza" of Secretary
Odds in ordering furniture to the amount of
$3.50 for the headquarters. Secretary Olds,
thinking he had stood as much as much as
he could, promptly wrote out to-day his
resignation and his personal check for $3.50
for the furniture, and left. Mr.. Belden's
committee may get together and determine
that Mr.. Belden must go and Mr.. Olds come
back. If not, MIR. Belden's boasts will
prove bootless.

Rules Governing the Internal Rev.
enue System Acted On.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-The speaker laid
before the House to-day the Senate bill
amendatory of the internal revenue laws,
and it was passed. 1t authorizes the COM
missioner of internal revenue to formulate
rules and regulations by which beer may be
carried direct from tho vats to the bottling
department without passing through the
intermediate process of being drawn into
kegs.
The Senate bill was passed changing the
present system of drawback on exported
beer and fermented liquors and permitting
their expectation in bond, in the same
manner as distilled spirits are now handled.
Some hours were consumed in considera-
tion Of the Senate bill for the relief of
Hyland G. Kirk and others, assignees of
Addison G. Fletcher, patentee of a cancel
ing stamp. The bill was finally laid upon
the table, an unusual proceeding, the ordi-
nary method pursued to defeat Senate bill
being to postpone it indefinitely.
The House then went into committee of
the whole on the postotfice appropriation
bill. No opposition was made to the meas
ure, and the committee, having speedily
considered the bill, reported it to the House,
when it was passed.

A NATIONAL ELECTION LAW.
A Compromise Bill to be Prepared for

A Compromise Bill to be Prepared for
the Senate Committee.
WASHINGTON, June 10-For the fourth
time the republican representatives were in
caucus tonight upon the subject of na-
tional election law. The attendance was
small and it was understood that vote was
not to be taken before 10 o'clock to decide
as between the Lodge and Rowell bills. The
first two hours were devoted entirely to dis
cussion, which served but to accentuate the
preference of the southern republicans for
the Lodge plan. A feature of the discus
sion was a speech in favor of that measure
by Representative Cheatham, the colored
memer from North Carolina. The result of
the talk YVES that when Speaker Reed
pointed out how the differences between the
adherants Of the two bills could be adjusted
by combination of the features or princi-
Piles of each which were unobjected to his
proposition was unanimously accepted, and
Messrs. Rowell and Lodge were Instructed
to formulate compromise bill.
FEATURES OF THE NEW BILL.
Its features will be an enlargement of the
supervisory system, so that supervisors
shall participate in the registration, voting
and canvassing. To carry out fully the
national idea, supervisors returns are to be
prima facie evidence of the right of men,
Der to his seat, and are to prevail in making
up the roll OF the house. In case Of conflicting
returns the certificates of the state canvass
ers may be used to allow the House to form
its judgment of the qualifications of the
contestants. AS soon as the proposition is
reduced to form it is expected that another
caucus will be called to formally adopt the
measure and provide for its speedy consid-

PAY OF THE IRON WORKERS.
The Men in the East to Earn Better
Money This Year.

PITTsBURG, June 10-At to-day's session
of the Amalgamated Association considera-
ton of the scale was continued. 1t was de-
cided to leave the base of bar mill the same
as last year, which was 20 cents, but slight
changes will be made in extras. The price
of pudding iron in the eastern district
(east of the Alleghenies) will be "a per ton.
The price heretofore has been So So This
means that eastern workers will demand an
increase of pay all round approximating Is
per cent This move may be looked upon
as throwing down the gauntlet, and there is
every Indication that the manufacturers will
not hesitate to express their readiness to
take it up In this question OF increased
pay the position Of the amalgamated asso-
citation is that raw materials do not cost SO
per cent. more than is paid by the western
men, yet the east has enjoyed the advantage
of 80 per cent in its favor in the cost Of
labor. The manufacturers of Pittsburg and
other western points, it was said to-day,
commend this decision. There are about
133 mills in the east

ROBBERS WRECK ATRAIN
THE EXPRESS MESSENGER SHOT
IN TWO PLACES.

Conflicting Accounts Give the Amount
Stolen by the lRobbers at 5000 and
10000 The Bandits Escape but
officers are in Pursuit and One
Capture is Reported.
ST. LOUIS, June 10.-A special from Tex
arkana, Ark, says: "A belated train on the
Texas and Pacific railroad which left here
at IL o'clock last night was robbed at what
is known as four-mile junction. A switch
was thrown open and the train wrecked.
An unknown man who was stealing ride
was killed. Express Messenger Nevlin re-
sisted the robbers as they entered the car,
one Of their shots piercing his right hand
and another cutting him through the ear.
The robbers then went through the express
safe and made their escape. The amount Of
money and valuables taken cannot be ascer-
tained here. posse OF men was organized
early this morning and went in pursuit Of
the bandits, but as they had good start it
is not likely that they will be overhauledn
A SMALL HAUL.
ST. LOUIS, June TO-, IL P. M-Further
advices from Texarkana say the robbers
obtained probably less than 500 from the
express safe. After they had gone through
the car the robbers marched the engineer,
fireman and messenger about 100 feet from
tne track, seated tnem on a log ana told
them to stay there with their eyes shut for
one honr. When the bandits had gone a
distance Of fifty yards they turned and fired
a volley at the men on the log. The mes
senger was shot through the left hand and
another bullet pierced his ear. The robbers
then disappeared.
THE POLICE NOTIFIED.
It required but a short time to notify the
officers here, who are now in pursuit of the
bandits. One party has been arrested and
is now In custody, but has not yet been
fully identified.
Yesterday afternoon $4,000 was taken
from the Southern Express Company's
Office and carried to the depot. This was
sent north. 1t is supposed that the robbers
were on the lookout for this sum, but made
a mistake, thinking the money was to go
south.
STILL ANOTHER VERSION.
Another account OF the robbery, tele-
graphed to the Republic from Little Rock,
says the robbers secured about $40, 900 from
the safe. AS soon as Messenger Nesbtt
discovered the intention of the men he fired
two shots at the leader and was In the act
of firing the third shot when he received q
bullet in bus right breast aud fell to the
floor.
A late special from Camden says that the
robbers placed obstructions on the track,
derailing the train, and that Nesbitt was
instantly killed.

a broken leg. They were all removed to

Cowles appeared in court before Justice
TAFT with her daughter Florence and her
friends. A letter which Cowles' wrote, re-
nouncing all claim to his daughter, and the
order from him to the nuns with whom she
had been placed, authorizing them to de-
liver her up, was produced. This was re-
garded as concluding the case. Cowles' con-

result fatally. A committee of physicians

morrow, to ascertain if he is in fit condi-
tion to come into court.

If so the case of Hale will at once go to

against him he will be tried at once. None
of the party will leave Canada until every
thing is finally settled. Judge Ingersoll is
at present engaged with Canadian counsel
making out the plan of the defense for Hale.
1t will be that the shooting was done in self
defense. Ii is known that Cowles had a re-
volver in his pocket when brought to the
hospital, and that there was some injury to
his shoulder as if a struggle had taken place
in the cab. The Cleveland people speak in

A Republican Split on the Bill to
Overcome the Courts Ruling.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-The House re-
publicans are greatly stirred up over the
divisions among the majority of the House
judiciary committee over the Senate bill to
circumvent the original package decision Of
the supreme court. 1t was expected that
the majority of the committee would re-
port this bill favorably, as a matter of
course, and that Speaker Reed would rail-
road it through. Instead of this, minority
of the majority. led by Gov. Stewart of
Vermont, is delaying and will probably
defeat a favorable report, aided by the
democratic strength. Gov. Stewart and
his minority take the ground that the bill
interferes with free trade between
the states, and might be dangerous pre-
cedent for the interruption of traffic in
other commodities. Unless the pressure
from the prohibition delegation proves
stronger than heretofore the bill will
probably be adversely reported.
