ROUTED THE MARINERS.

Who Were Relying on Squatters' Rights to
Dock Privileges,
CHICAGO. July 6.--For years that portion
of the lake front near Van Burep street has
been used as landing place by dozens of
pleasure steamers which ply between this
city and the "crib" out in the harbor, run
up the shore, etc. The company which Sc
cured the privilege of transporting passen =
gers to tho Worlds fair grounds decided
that they wanted to put their regular docks
in at that place and the city authorities
notified the transient occup pants of the lake
front that they must move.
The latter assert the company secured
the Worlds fair privileges through unfair
means and announced their dete m ination
TO stand on their rights. This morning the
harbor master called on the police for assis-
tance aud twenty men were sent him. They
went down to the lake front and proceeded
to order the boats to pull away and pie
pared to remove the temporary landing
stages which have been there.
They no sooner started to work than sev-
eral mariners interfered and lively row
was the result. One beiligerent sailor and
an equally warlike policeman had fierce
fight with clubs. in which the sailor was
badly worsted. Several OF the crew of one
vessel were dragged off to the station. By
this time several thousand people had con-
RreRated along Lake Front park and made
considerable demonstrati most Of them
siding with the sailors. The police captain
in charge fearing riot sent for fifty more
men, aud when they arrived he dispersed
the crowd. The police then proceeded with
their work Of eviction and without further
trouble beyond one or two slight encoun-
tsrs finished the job and cleared the place
where the docks are to b put. Tho sailors
who have been evicted say their rights have
been invaded and propose to take the mat
ter to the courts,

Legality Of the Withdrawal Of Funds for
That Purpose.
WASHINGTON, July 6.--Chairman Culber-
son, Of the house Judiciary committee, has
prepared q report on Dockery's resolution
calling for an inquiry as to whether. under
the act of Jan. H. 1876 the secretary of
tho treasury has right to use the proceeds
of any moneys in the treasury arising from
the sale of lands or otherwise, for any pur-
poses than those mentioned in the act.
The report says there has been no necessity
to invade the reserve fund or deplete it by
the redemption Of legal tender notes. az the
surplus revenues Of the treasury have
been amply sufficient to redeem
all notes presented. The secretary
informs the committee that there ID no
reserve fund set aside either in cash or on
the books Of the treasury. and money de-
rived from the sale of the bonds for re-
demption purposes was merged in the gen.
legal tender notes presented for redemption
have been redeemed in gold. Yet in the
statement made by the secretary all re-
demptions since 1879, amounting to $685.
1856, 991. appear to have been made from the
proceeds Of the sale of bonds for redemp-
ton purposes, without regard to surplus
revenues. thus reducing the proceeds of tho
bonds to $53 804 900. The report holds that
if the gold reserve of $1OO. 600 is re-
quired to be kept in the treasury it should
not be depleted by the redemption of legal
tender, and the same should be restored
from the current coin receipts of the gov
ernment. and when transferred to the
reserve fund they are not subject to use for
any other purpose.
Messrs. Ray, E. b. Taylor, Powers, Brod-
erick and Buchanan returned . minority
report, contendlnQ that the is nothing in
the resumption act requiring the secretary
to set aside the reserve fund for redemp-
tion; that the only fund provided for re-
demptidA ia the proceeds of bonds sold for
REDEEM ption purposes; that the power to use
any surplus revenue from time to time in
the easury 10 permissive and not msnda-
tory, and tue secretary has no power to set
apart or hold against appropriations any
part of the surplus revenues for the re-
demption of United States notes.

debt of 100000 now due and leaving $780,

of the late Andrew J. Davis.
and this was voted solidly against
the proposition, thus defeating it. The
100000 is due at once and the property is
likely to be tied up for some time and
700 men thrown out of employment. Work
on the new smelter had been begun in an
ticipation of the success of the projnot
which was defeated to-day. The meeting
adjourned to meet at Boston, July 18. No
reason ia assigned for the action of the rep

The Conditions Brought About by Pro-

WASHINGTON. July 6.-The first official
recognition in congress of the troubles at
Homestead was made to-day when Repre-
sentative Camenetti (Cal.) introduced a
resolution calling for the appointment of a
select committee to investigate the trou
bles. Proceeding the resolution is long
preamble reoiting that the republican
party contended that one of the main
purposes of its tariff legislation was the
protection of American labor and the in
crsase OF the pay of the waReworkers in
protected industries; that contrary thereto
industries protected in many iu-
stances instead of increasing have
actually materially reduced the pay
Of their men; that the Homestead
mills. controlled bv Carnegie and associ
utes. operating an industry which received
the fostering care of said legislation to
such extent as to typify it as an example of
the results thereof, have promulgated an
order reducing the wages of employ es, it is
alleged. from 20 to GO per cent; that con-
trary to the position assumed by said party.
that protection SO afforded regulates the
price of labor. it Is stated by II. G. Frick,
manager of said mills, that I'VE made
scales to suit trade and mechanical contli-
tions, and gave no. thought to political
cause or effect, OF to the tariff" that fol-
lowing this announcement tho employees re-
fused to accept such reduction and strike
Is on hand, and it is asserted in the public
prints. that armed men, boats carrying

charged with electricity, all these supple-
mentsd with strong search lights, have been
resorted to by said company to enable it to
enforce the reduced scale Of wages thus in
aupurating the conditions of feudal despot-
ism.
The resolution thereupon calls for the ap-
pointment Of select committee of five
members to investigate and report upon
the causes of strikes, and tho effect of such
legislation on wages and labor. The reso-
luton was referred to the committee on
