participated in the riot at Homestead
after the surrender of the Pinkertons

claimed that they have the names of
300 participants and will charge them
with aggravated riot and assault.
About 100 deputies are on duty in
and about the Homestead mills and
this number will be increased to 300
very shortly. Superintendent Potter
says they are all armed with clubs and
rifles and enough guns are now in the
mill TO arm every man in the employ
Of the firm. Every precaution will be
taken to protect the employees and if
necessary force will meet force.
The union mills in this city started
up non-union at . o'clock this morning

ment have broken away. They have
been preparing for break, they say,
and are highly gratified at the result
of their endeavors to prevent one. 1t
Is understood that there are now
several strikers in the mill influencing
non unionists to quit. This plan was
adopted with signal success in 1882.

Cholera Reported in Hungary and Ger
many-The Ravages in Russia.
LONDON, Aug. 2.-Cholera is reported
to have made its appearance in two
Russian frontier towns in Galicia, and
nine cases of the disease are reported
in a village only nine miles from Pres
burg, Hungary. The medical experts,
however, declare that the Hungary
cases are cholerine, but extra precau-
tions are being taken AID no epidemic
is feared,
Three suspicious cases have been
quarantined at Bresslau, Germany, and
the official newspaper, the Reich's
Anzeiger has made public a lengthy
article on the precautions which
should be taken. Prof. Koch, DIR.
Virchow and DR.. Hirsch all agree that
the sure preventive is absolute mum
icipal and family cleanliness. They
feel that the disease will spread all
over Europe, but do not think that
America need dread it.
Reports from Russia are that the
cholera is decreasing in the towns
where it first made its appearance, but
is increasing rapidly in other places
and has appeared in several new dis
tricts. In Astrakhau July % only
forty-six new cases and forty-two
deaths were reported and in Samara
800 cases and seventy-four deaths. In
Mini Novgorod, on the contrary,
there were seventy-four new cases and
thirty deaths last Thursday, in Kasban
eighty-five new cases and twenty-four
deaths, in Bahestan 372 new cases and
1874 deaths and in Tere 3s3 new eases
and 2O5 deaths.
The Times announces that cholera
has broken out in Toungoo, Burmah,
saying: MANY shops have been
closed on account of the death of the
owners and business is almost at a
standstill, Many of the inhabitants
are quitting the town The outbreak
was due to the filthy condition of the
town"

LAID WASTE eY a VOLCANO.
Graphic Details of the Fearful Visitation
of Sangir Island.

Of sangir Island.
VICTORIA, B. G., Aug. 2.-The steamer
Empress Of India arrived from Japar
Saturday with additional details Of
the disastrous eruption on Great
Sangir island. Without any warming
without sign of impending disturb
ance, the Gunong Aroo volcano
blazed forth on June Z and within
twenty-four hours the whole
OF the prosperous surrounding
country was devastated The
loss of life is something frightful, but
no accurate estimate of it can be made.
Some place it as high as 10000. The
captain Of the ship which took supplies
to the sufferers says 10, 900 is not toe
high figure. A thousand bodies have
been picked up ON the shore and many
were found floating in the sea. The
whole island is completely devastated
and, although the violent eruption has
ceased, volumes of smoke are arising,
accompanied by steam and ashes.
The inhabitants of Sangir island,
living within the shadows of DOR
mant crater, had titled the soil and
prospered, their chief industry being
the growing of nutmegs, cocoanuts
and grapes, the products being regu-
larly shipped abroad. The villages and
towns were well built and had schools
and churches
The awful devastation began at 10
o'clock on the morning of June Z.
There was terrible rumble and a
column of ruddy flame shot up from
the crater as high in the heavens as
the eye could reach, and Immediately
afterward hot ashes were falling like
snow flakes over the whole country.
Dust was flying in all directions.
From the first explosion until . o'clock
that evening, fierce volumes of flame
and smoke and showers of large stones
were belched forth, followed by rain,
which fell in torrents, bringing down
with it the clouds of ashes flying
through the air This continued all
night and the whole of the next day.
Earthquakes began June o. Village
after village was engulfed, hundreds
of people dropping into the great
cracks in the earth. The whole coun.
try is under layer of mud, ashes and
stones. All vegetation is eth er burned
up by the awful heat of the volcanic
fire, or has been destroyed by dense
showers of ashes and dust.
The country around Gunong Aroo
and the sides of the hills were still
steaming and smoking on June 25,
numerous volcanic jets throwing up
columns of mud and stones which fell
in showers over the district
forming into hot streams which
in their downward course carried
everything before them. The
district on the north side of the island
is utterly destroyed, nutmeg and cocoa
plantations being laid in ruins and in
many cases completely buried under
the ashes, mud and lava from the
crater.
The report of the first explosion was
heard at Ternate, Gorontalo and Man
danaoe, respectfully 30, gao and 216
miles distant,

Lack of Funds.


WASHINGTON, July 30,--As soon as
the house met to-day, flibusterina
upon the worlds fair amendment to
the sundry civil appropriation bill was
resumed and there was no prospect OF
cessation of hostilities.
Mr. Holman, of Indiana, offered a
resolution extending the appropria.
tions carried by the sundry civil bill of
last year until August 4, but Mr. Hop.
kius, of Illinois, objected and the
speaker said that the resolution was in
nature of an appropriation bill The
pending business was also an appro-
priution bill, and he did not think that
the resolution had any priority but as
the question was u most important ono
he would inquire further.
The house then adjourned, out of
respect to the memory of Representa-
tive Craig but not before protest
had been made by Mr.. Reed, who
thought that the house should, in the
present state of business, remain in
session.
The sundry civil bill having failed
TO pass and the resolution to extend
the appropriations of last year not
having been agreed to- work in the
government printing office must cease
at midnight, as, under strict con-
Struction of the law, the public printer
will be unable to continue, but can
keep only n sufficient force to protect
public property. The work of the
office will be contested and even the
Recorder cannot be issued.

WASHINGTON, July 30.-The names
of the members of congress whom Mr..
Watson of Georgia had in mind when
he wrote in his book about drunken
congressman on the floor of the house
did not come out this morning in the
investigation of the special committee
appointed yesterday to inquire into
the charges.
Mr.. Watson was the first witness.
! He said that he knew enough to sub
stantiate the charges he had made.
He would regret to mention names
and would only do so under compul.
sion. lie had in mind two MEM
bers present during the debate
on the silver bill at IL night
session early in March, when he
wrote about members reeling on the
floor of the house in a state of intox-
ication. The phrase drunken speak
ers debating grave questions" referred
to one speaker on one occasion only
the Noyes-Rockwell debate. In his
opinion that speaker was in state OF
maudlin intoxication. In front
of the speaker was cup
and saucer. Its contents were
replenished several times and it
was noticed that the more he drank
the more he wandered in his argument.
He heard the speaker say to a page:
Bring me more of that stuff that
whisky" He regarded the speaker as
lovable and honorable man and one
who no doubt regretted the occurrence
as much as one possibly could. Wit
ness would not shrink from mention.
ing names If forced to the issue. His
hesitation came from desire to shield
the persons concerned.
Chairman Boatncr said that the com
mittee would consider whether or not
it would ask for names,
Representative Otis of Kansas said
that he had seen evidences of intoxica-
ton on the part of members on two
occasions. Asked about the degree of
intoXication of the member addressing
the house while under the influence OF
liquor, he said: "IIe was pretty
we'll set up thought the longer he
proceeded the worse he grew" Wit
ness told Representative Simpson that
most certainly he had noticed drink.
ing habits on the part of members.
Coming from a prohibition state it was
perhaps more noticeable than it would
have been otherwise
Miss DwYer, congressional report
err of the National Economist, corro-
borated the testimony of the other
witnesses as to the member under the
influence of liquor addressing the
house.
Representatives Halvorsen Of Min.
nesota, Butler of Ohio, Shell of South
Carolina, Glover and Davis of Kansas
and others testified to having seen
members intoxicated on different
occasions, and in one case while o
member was addressing the house.
Baker of Kansas recalled four in.
stances.
Mr. Watson then wanted to prove
the existence of bar-room in the
capitol building, but Chairman Boatner
would not let him and would not agree
that the record should show the re-
fusal

Buchanan of Virginia, Wolverton and

to admit evidence of drinking in the

that if any point was made of the
words of "maudlin rambling he
