of the Parties.
LONDON, July 15.-The Daily News
correspondent at Edinburgh says: THE
church party naturally Is reasonably
elatcd and believes that the effect OF he
Midlothian contest will be to indefinite
ly postpone the crusade against the cstab-
lished church. The heavy poll, equal
to 81 per cont OF the registry, testifies to
the assiduity of the agents of both sides.
1t Is said the conservatives have already
decided to contest the seat when Mr..
Gladstone offers his credentials. They
do not expect to win, but it is to he the
beginning OF the system of worry which
it is hoped will put Mr.. Gladstone out
before he accomplishes his life's work.
The necessary funds for a new cont
have been promised over and over agafG
and before q month has expired Midlo-
THAN will be again in the throcs of an
election contest"
Up to ass o'clock this afternoon the
returns as received show the election of
2i6 conservatives, 226 liberals, 80 anti.
P~arnellites, 80 liberal ~unionists, Z Par

The Dublin Independent (P~arnellite)
says that at a select circle of liberals
held in London last night the announce
ment was made that the home rule bill
would be postponed by agreement with
the Irish party in order hat some big
reform measure might be introduced in

ANXIOUS TO GET HOME.
rho Feeling Prevalent Among Congress
men just Mt Present.

WASHINGTON. July 15.-After all,
there is an astonishingly small number
of sore heads left in congress rs the re-
suit of the summary disposition of the
free silver coinage bill. Yesterday the
members were comparing notes and find
that they are as well off rs could be
expected. The extreme silver men
philosophically say that they have made
a glorious fight and can now go home
and tell their people that they have
done all hat representatives could do
to advance the cause which Is SO neal
their hearts and that they hope TO re-
new the struggle next winter with
better prospects of success. The
ants, as they are now COM
monty known, rs II rule represent
constituencies that are strongly
committed in favor of the gold stand
ard or Of the present coinage laws.
They will go home and argue with their
people that the party they represent is
sound on the financial question. and
hope thereby to gather many votes In
the fall elections.
That is what all the members, and
senators as well, are talking of, and
consequently they are extremely anS-
ious to get away from Washington and
begin the campaign work. Many of
the members who have heretofore
been strongly intrenched behind ma
~jorities now begin to feel a%pprehen-
sive and they want to go home and
talk with their constituents. So mat
tiers of legislation are being hurried
forward with all expedition and nothing
can stand before u conference report Oh
one of the remaining appropriation
bills. With the final passage Of the APP
preparation bills will end the present
session of congress and they
are to have right of way over
everything else, although the in
tervals of time that may be available
while waiting on conference COMMITTEE,
work will probably be given up in the
senate to the consideration Of measures
that will excite no opposition and IN
the house to measures that may b'
taken up under the operation Of specia
rules brought in from day to day by tn
rules committee.

HELD UP THE TRAIN.

Armed Men Hold Up and Rob q Texas ES-
press Two Persons ON the Trnin Re.
ported to be Wounded.
PARSONS, Kan, July 15.-Word has
just reached here that the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas passenger train No. .
was held up at Adair station in the In
dian territory about seventy miles sonth
Of this city by the notorious Dalton
gang.
The safe in the express car was blown
open and robbed of its contents.
Capt J. ]. Kinney, chief of the de-
tective force of the Missouri, Kansas &c
Texas, and L. A. Flore, Of the Indian
police, and two doctors from Adair were
shot while attempting TO protect the
company's property. but none OF them
were seriously injured.
The exact amount Of money secured
by the robbers is not known.
The robbers made good their escape.
The train was held up at the tank
just south Of Adair, and when the en-
gineer attempted to step on the foot
board, he was confronted by two men
with drawn revolvers and told to re-
main quiet or he would have his brains
blown out.
There were six men in the gang, and
two remained to guard the eng 'neer
and fireman while the others watched
the train and broke into the express
car. The fireman was compelled to go
ahead of the robbers and break down
the door, and came near being killed by
the messenger, who shot several times
ut the attacking party.
Capt. Kinney and the Indian police
man were in the car, as there had been
n rumor Of trouble, and they were pre-
pared to make a desperate fight, but
were wounded before they were able to
do anything towards defending the
safe.
When the robbers effected an en-
trance they went to work to get into
the safe, and wasted no time but at
once blew it open. They hastily grabbed
up all the contents and then went of,
telling the engineer to go ahead and
not stop until he got TO the next station.
When the attack was made there was
n fusiladc between the robbers and the
guard which sounded like II battle.
II is said that there were several large
sums in the safe, ~aggregating over $40,
, 600, but the people connected with the
company will give ont nothing definite,
but say that the amount was very small.

Causing SuspiciOM.

LONDON, July 16.-The authorities at
Whitehall regard the state of affairs in
Paris with the greatest suspicion. The
urgency of the situation is accentuated
by the fact that the issue of the French
official records suddenly ceased three
weeks ago. The reports of the cholera
received from eastern Europe are very
disauieting. The intended holding OF
the great fair at Mini Novgorod Is re-
parded as a serious matter, tending to
the widespread diffusion OF the cpl
dcmic.

PrrTsBUEsH, Pa, July 15.-Yesterday
afternoon the members of the Amalga-
mated association employed In Carne-
gie's Union iron mills Mt Twenty-ninth
and Thirty-third streets carried out
their threat to stop work unless n con-
ference was opened by Chairman II. G.
Frick with the Homestead workmen
Shortly after IL o'clock as their heats
were run the men began leaving the
works In squads.
By5 o'clock the mills were practically

The men do not fear that their places
in these mills will be filled with 'black
! sheep and have noidca when they will
be ready TO return to work.
This is the busiest season Of the year
for these mills and the builders will Ike
especially affected by this strike. Super
intcndent Dillon shook hands with
many Of the men as they left, express
ing regret Mt the course they had adopt

A meeting OF forenen, superintend-

This decision practically means that
