CHICAGO, August 5.-Trouble Is brew
ing between organized labor and the
Worlds Columbian Exposition. AT
last nights meeting of the carpenters
council the business agent elnade re-
port which was backed up by the sigma,
lures of numerous carpenters employed
on tho eaounds, setting forth that tho
eight-hour agreement made between
the fair directory and the labor people
was being wholly ignored. 1t was said
that not only were tho contractors
violating the agreement, but the COM
mission itself was working men nine
and ten hours.
A committee was appointed to visit
the grounds and make full investiga-
ton, and IL was instructed to wait on
the ground and building committee and
ask foran explanation. The labor men
are very much dissatisfied with the way
matters are going and q strike OF tho
carpenters on the grounds is not among
the improbabilities.

WAsuISGrox, D. c., August 5.-Tho
first session Of the Fitty.frst congress
adjourned tonight at IL O'Clock. but it
did not go out in a blaze Of glory. 1t was
disorderly and rancorous to the last.
Tho most interesting event OF the even
ing was the acrimonious debate over the
substitute for the o'Neill amendment to
the sundry civil bill. The o'Neill
amendment forbade the employment
of Pinkerton employees by the govern
ment, and forbade the grant Of govern
ment contracts, including iron and
steol contracts, to firms and corpora
tions that employ Pinkertons. The
amendment was changed in conference
to apply to the District OF Columbia
only. Mr.. 0'Neill protested long and
loudly against any such change. Gem
eral Bingham made an eloquent speech
in reply. He pointed out the imprac-
ticahllity OF the o'Neill amendment. He
showed that II it was passed the gov.
ernment service would be severely
crippled. No armor plates could be
purchased IN this country, the mails
could not be transported over large sec.
tions OF the country, the bullion could
not be transported, and the various ex-
press companies would be crippled. The
amendment would not be accepted by
tho senate conferees, General Bingham
said, and the substitute was the. only
Pinkerton amendment that the house
conferes found 1t possible to work into
the sundry civil bill.
Simpson, OF Kansas, took up the
theme where 0'Neill had abandoned it.
He asked the house to resist this cow
ardly, disgraceful surrender to the re-
presentatives of plutocracy. Immedi-
ltely there was much confusion. Slmp-
son continued gradually working him
self into a white heat and denouncing
everything andeverybody excepting his
farmer constituents in Kansas. Speak
or Crisp interrupted Simpson and or
dered the stenographer to change his
unparliamentary utterances.
Ex-Governor Sayers, of Texas, one OF
the house confetees, took exception to
Simpsons remarks. His ruddy face was
three shades deeper carmine than
usual. His gray head trembled with
repressed rage. Slowly andswith
shaking voice he attempted to- declare
right then and there that Simpson,
when he called the action of the house
conferees "a cowardly. disgraceful sur
render to the representatives of plu-
tocracy," told a malicious and wiiifut
falsehood. Never, Sayers said, had he
been accused OF cowardice before. He
knew his record, bnt did not know
Simpsons but wanted the latter to un-
derstand the contemptuous light in
which he (Sayers) viewed him. sayers'
friends rapturously applauded these re-
marks. n
Simpson arose and asked sayers to-
yield for one Interpolation, but sayers
sternly refused and Simpson sank back
abashed. Trouble is feared between
the two men. Simpson has varied ca
reer in Kansas and other states. He
has faced many personal dangers and
once was at the head OF Q Western vig.-
lance committee. Savers served
through the rebellion on the confeder-
ate side. He also is quick on the draw,
and despite his years is said to be q
firm believer in the code duello.

Battle Royal Of Two Eagles For the Pos.
session of n Baby.
DETROIT, MICH, August 5.-Two ca
giles had duel to the death for the pos
session OF the six months old baby OF
Peter Shaw, who lives four miles north
Of Allis, in Presque Isle county, yester-
day. Mrs. Shaw had laid the baby
down on the grass and returned to the
house fora few moments, when an en-
ormous eagle swooped down on the in
fant and stuck its talons into the little
ones flesh and clothing. The mother
heard her baby's cry, but came too late
to be OF service.
The mothers shrieks brought the
father, who quickly comprehended the
situation, mounted horse and armed
with rifle rode to the shore Of near
by lake, where he knew was an eagle
eyrie in tho cliffs. Shaw arrived Just
in time to SEQ terrible sight Two
eagles were lowering above o crag Of
rock, filling tho air with their cries, and
battling Tor possession oil the baby that
lay high upon the cliff. Before the
father reached the summit one OF the
eagles had fallen to the ground, while
the other had taken up the child Tor an
other flight. The iather fred and the
bird and baby fell into the water. The
frantic father plunged into the lake,
caught up the body, but the little ono
was dead. He took home the body,
along with those OF the two eagles, one
OF which had been killed in the fight
over tho prey.

WAsuiSo7os, y. G., August 6.-The
srbstitute for tho Duborrow bill appro-
pria.ing two and half million dollars
for tho Worlds Fair passed the house
mi, afternoon by majority OF 46. The
eoso with which it went through sur
nrised even its friends. The lobby is in
great glee tonight. for an hour after
the house passed it the senate also
nn,sed it without a division, not, how
ever. without q protest from Senator
Vest aud his Democratic colleagues,
who pronounce the bill "an intamy."
They did not vote aRainat it, however.

to the effect that Bailey, of Texas, in

as q pure piece of humorism, but like

grew in size and rancor by repetition.
Some members of tho lobby are south.

at the thought Of this "wanton attack"
upon them. Bailey was called out by
one Of these outraged gentlemen who
explained the report that had reached
his ear, and wound up by declaring:

luton you will never get back your dis
trict." Bailey said the sensitive mem.

not only in the senate, but in other

of the honor conferred upon me by the

commendatory words Of the resolution,
it is owing to the uniform courtesy and
kindness accorded to me by every sena-

Der OF this body may be found in his

ST. LOUIS, NO., August 5.-The Broth
erhood Of Carpenters and Joiners to-
day completed consideration Of the
report Of the committee on constitu-
tion. The most important amendment
was the raising Of the initiation
dues and the monthly fees to an
amount to give the brotherhood
100000 a year from these
sources. There has been some ques-
tion whether the convention should de-
cree tho new constitution to be in
force, and should run the risk of send
ing it down to tho local unions. 1t was
feared that some ofthe changes were so
great that tho unions might refuse to
ratify the instrument. II was decided
to submit the amendment to the locals
section by section.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, August 5.-Du-
quosne and Homestead alike are un-
usually quiet this evening. Because Of
the arrests in the first named borough
few strikers yentured on the streets
during the evening, for a number OF
constables, presumably carrying war
rants, secured tho streets. Therefore,
repairmen who worked in tho mill dur
ing the day were not molested when
they left at 6 o'clock. Several were
frightened over tho possibility Of as
sauls, and at their solicitation we're &C.
companied to their homes by deputy
sheriffs, who will rcmain near oil night
to qucll any hostile demonstrations. It
is altogether unlikely, though, that any
strikers wtllintcrfere with the workers.
at the Homestead steel works this
evening Superintendent Potter stated
that three Of the old men applied for
reinstatement. An experienced tool
dresser hired in New York quit, as did
Samuel Bell, pipe filter, according to
tho advisory committee. Bell stated
that he was hired as pipe filter, but
was only paid 81 40 per day for twelve
hours work.
The contributions to-day amounted
to 81, 400, OF which S1,107 came from
Youngstown. All contributions should
be sent to Thomas ]. Crawford, acting
chairman OF the committee.
The committee, by request, will send
subcommittee up the Monongahela
through the coal region. Messrs. David
Lynch, W. I. Roberts and T. s. Brown
left for New York and Albany tonight
to address meeting in,the interest OF
the locked out men. They will canvass
the eastern cities, in addition to se-
curing support for the strikers, work
up sentiment against the use of ma
terial manufactured by the Carnegie
Steel company.
Adiutant General Greenland and
staff arrived at Homestead to-day and
all soldiers received ten days pay. The
companies were drawn up in line and
each private was paid individually. Tho
soldiers were more than delighted, for
1t was tho same practice observed in
the regular army in active service.
