Then the conference report on the sundry civil

more than as it passed the house. AS to the

Senator Allison said he would state IN general
terms the appropriations OF this session as com
of the E1fty-hrst c. ngress. The appropr1a lions
of that session WERE IN round numbers, S465OJ0s-
900 and those of the present session were $507,-
900 600, showing an increase of $l4.OOOOO0. The
principal increases were in the appropriations
for pensions and for the postnfhce department..
1t was obvious to all that the postal authorities
and postal expenditures were constantly in
x
to the postoffice appropriation bill at this ses-
sion. And the postal appropriation would fall
short of meet ng the necessary expenditures for
the fiscal year of 1893. Large defcienciesfor the
postofice department. and other departments of
the government would be necessary at the next
session.
Senator German, member of tho committee on
appropriations, commended the chairman OF
that committee for this fair and candid state
ment. OF the immense sum OF 500 ,OO0,OO9 appTO
prated at tie present ion. $50 900 had be-
come necessary because of legislation of the
Ffty-hrst congress, congress for which the
democratic party had no responsibility. Twenty
of that sixty millions had come from pensions
alone. ApprOpriA lions for pensions at the next
session would be at least twenty millions more
than at the present session and he doubted very
much il it would be possible to have the appro-
pr1ations reduced next session much below $500
600 900. He believed congress would be compelled
to levy other and additional taxes to meet the
requirements OF the treasury. He believed the
time would come before the end of the fiscal
year 1892, and then he had no doubt that both
parties, being brought sharply face to face with
the people would find some methods by which
these immense expenditures would be reduced.
At IL p. M, August 5, congre- adjourned with
slfif date.

PLANNING MISCHIEF.
Efforts to Combine Labor and
Trades Unions
So as 70 Hold and Execute Arbitrary Con-
troll Of the Country by Debating who
Shall and Who Shall Not do
Business.

HOMESTEAD, PA, August 12-The advise
~ board of the Alnalgamated association is
holding daily sessions TO devise means by
which they can further embarrsss the Car
negie company in its attempt to start the
mills with non-union men. They are cred
tied with having a scheme IN hand they
think, if it can be carried out, might seri-
ously hinder the company's plan. It is
stated that the idea, as outlined by the presi
dent, is. if possible, to secure the aid of the
brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
Switchmen's association and other railroad
organizations, with a view to effectually
stopping the shipment of material from or
to any of the Carnegie works.
If this plan is put into operation with the
boycott that the American Federation of
Labor Is expected to make, the workmen. it
Is held, will have the power at hand the like
OF which, never has been welded by any
labor orga.i zatiOn in the country. Cores
pondence will be opened with President
Arthur OF the brotherhood of Engineers and
the heads of other railroad organizations
with view of procuring their aid.

The strikers at Duquesne went to work
Monday morning and the Carnegie Steel
company has scored one victory. AS z
O'Clock approached, the number of men who
had entered the mill yard reached 400. About
sixty men, who were leaders in sympathy
with the strike movement, gathered on the
road near the mill gate and watched in
silence the men going to work.
Finally the mill whistle blew for O'Clock.
At that, large Irishman exclaimed in a loud
voice.: ''Well, men, the jig is up; we had
better hustle for our old places" This was
the signal for panic. and the entire crowd
ran toward the gate.
By their surrender they are expelled from

DALLAS, Tex, August 9.-The News Guth-
RE, o. T., special says that Governor Seay
received a telegram from Inspector Davis, of
the interior department at Arkansas City,
saying that the commander at Fort Reno had
been ordered by the secretary of war to re-
move all the cattle from the Cherokee strip
and that Governor Humphrey of Kansas had
ordered the sherifs of all border counties to
keep all cattle out of the state.
Governor Seay at once telegraphed the
following instructions to every sheriff in
Oklahoma: 81 have just been informed
that the cattle are about to be removed from
the Cherokee strip, and it is possible that an
attempt will be made to drive a portion of
them through your county. This you must
prevent at all hazards, as the passage of
such cattle through your county will endan-
ger stock of the residents there. You will
therefore take such steps and summon
such assistance as may be necessary to en-
force the law, being careful, however, to
avoid unnecessary expense"
An armed posse ia already on duty on
every county line aad every COW that crosses
into Oklahoma will be killed.

out They Go.

ENID, Ok, August 9--At Pond creek the
cattle yards were filed with cattle and the
cattlemen were clamoring for cars from the
Rock Island to hurry their stock into market.
z. c. Brown had 1900 head over the hills
west of Pond creek and the foreman in
charge of the stock was dispatched to take
the trail for western Texas It Is estimated
that $50 head in this herd viii perish IN
making the forced drive during the extreme
heat which is prevailing and the hot winds
that are blowing.
Charles Crogan had a herd of 9, 900 east of
Enid and with his brother herders he Is on
the trail for the Panhandle. At Birds Point
the Rock Island had built stock yards for one
man who was to ship 40, 600 head. This vast
heard with the rest must go. Captain Mich
drive everything IN the territory into western
Texas
1t is evident that the troops are not shield
ing anyone, for they drive before them q
sooner" camp with the same alacrity they
would bunch of steers. A big prairie nre
has been raging east OF Enid all day and
even if the troops had not arrived on the
to abandon the range. At times during the
day the smoke and smudge were so dense
even in the depot, that stands out on the
desOlate plain like a sentinel, that it was an
effort to breathe and the grayest fears were
entertained that the fire would cross the Rock
Island and sweep the western plain, over
which vast herds of cattle are beng driven
to escape the cavalry. The cattlemen charge
the sooners with causing the fires to deprive
their herds of range privileges, but the soon-
erS deny the imputation and say that the
cattlemen, realizing that they must get out,
fired the grass so as to keep the troops back
while they are escaping into the Panhandle.

Denver, August 1O.-Every structure in
the business portion of the city Is decorated,
and the residences are gay with the knights
colors Some of the houses are decorated
more handsomely probably than ever be-
fore; instead OF bunting the finest cloths
are used which must have cost thousands of
dollars to produce. Thousands of colored
incandescent lights are strung at the inter
sections of streets, and when they are light
ed up the city resembles a fairy bower.
1t Is estimated that no less than $50 COO
has been expended in banners, streamers
and bunting, many of the DESIGNS BEING
wrought on a massive scale In gold and sill
yer upon a basis of silk or satin. Tenants
of larger buildings contributed from $500 to
81, 800 for the Ornamentation of the big
structures

PrTsBURe, Pa. August 12.-The differ
ences between the iron manufacturers and
the Amalgalnated association have been ami
cably settled by mutual consent, and the
threatened strike of iron workers in this city
and the west have been averted.
Fifteen mills will resume at once and the
other plants will start up as soon as the nee
essary repairs are made. This Is the result
of the conference of the joint committee of
the iron manufacturers and members of the
Amalgamated association.
While the settlement directly affects 25. 900
or 5000 skilled workmen in the Amalga-
mated association, fully 100000 others are
interested. The news of the signing of the
scale was received with great rejoicing, not
alone by the mill workers, but by every one
IN this vicinity. The settlement only affects
the Pittsburg district.
The settlement does not affect the Home
stead strike directly in any way. The Car
negie company steadily refused to join with
the other manufacturers in their efforts to
reach an agreement without the strikes.

3d. 600 knights in line.
Not less than 100000 people viewed the
magnificent pageant.
Grand Master Goblin and his staff occu-
pied the reviewing stand at the corner OF
Logan and Sixthteenth avenues.
1t took over three hours for the Knights
to file by, and, although the march was a
long one, none of them suffered from the
heat, as the sun was hidden during the en-
tire parade by clouds. A better day for the
purpose could not have been made to order.
The communicates were arranged accord
ing to their states. Kansas came in the 18th
division headed by Right Eminent Sir L. Z.
Culp, grand commander of Salina. The
division consisted of the following Kansas
communicates:

City; Reno, No. % of Hutchinson; Abd-El-
Kader, No. p of Fredonia; Council Grove,
No. %; KIngman, 81
There were nearly two dozen public view
ing stands scattered along the line of march.
They had from one hundred to a thousand
people each. Besides, there were innumera-
bic private stands, and every window in the
business blocks was crowded with sight
seers. There was a charge though for seats
IN the public stands, and at 10 o'clock SIC
would not purchase one. They were packed
from top to bottom while the streets about
them were filled with living mass.
Spectators from various states were on the
lookout for their COMMANDERS and as they
passed they shouted and yelled like mad.

SUMMARY OF CROP CONDITIONS.
Almost a Cattle Var.

There came near being open war on the
Cherokee strip the other day. A herd of
5000 Texas cattle were unloaded at Chillocco
station, just south Vi the Kansas state line,
and the cowboys in charge started to drive
the cattle west along the line. This aroused
the farmers along the line and they at once
organized body of armed men and de-
clared they would shoot every steer in the
herd if an attempt was made to move them
in that direction
Superintendent COppiek, of the Chillocco
Indian school, also sent out a company of
Indian boys with instructions to shoot any
of the cattle that came upon the school res
ervation. About a dozen of the animals
that came to near the school herd were killed
make good their threats, when the cattlemen
became alarmed and drove the cattle into
the strip.

wealthy nonresident, had himself appointed
guardian for two Choctaw orphans and has

of the territory, both white and Indian, was
held and decisive steps were decided upon.
Next day they began roundup of the OBJ
noxious animals. They will be driven into
Texas and if brought back they will be shot.
