gotiating many of the most important
reciprocity treaties of the past eighteen
months, and is thoroughly conversant
with all of them. as well as master of
the intricacies of that great and most
important subject. Besides this great
work he drew the brief of our case in
the Behring sea controversy for the ar
bitratorS, and has been closely identi-
fed with nearly all the important work
of the department for more than a
year. His ability and fitness have been
demonstrated beyond question, and his
promotion in accordance with the prin-
ciples of civil service reform is highly
creditable to the president and will
doubtless prove a good thing for the
country.
1t is a difficult matter for anyone to
follow Mr.. Blaine as head of the state

if man could be named capable of
doing it with less danger of making
mistakes and with more assurance of a
satisfactory continuance of the work
that has made the administration justly
famous than Mr.. Foster.-Cleveland

he was filling the Office of first assist

November election occurs will have

good for them.-Iowa State Register.

SILVER BILL SHELVED.

Interestfng Proceedings In the House Of
Representatives Upon the Free silver
Resolutfon-No Free silver Bill the Pres
ent Session.
WASHINGTON, July 14.-The 18th of
July will be regarded hereafter by the
free silver men as an unlucky date, and
there are many democrats who will
long remember the fate of the silver
bill. While tie fight has been prac-
tically conceded to anti-silver men for
several days, yet it needed final vote
to settle the question. After the regu-
lar order, Mr.. Catchings, democrat, of
Mississippi, offered Il resolution from
the committee on rules setting apart
yesterday and to-day for the considera-
tion of the silver bill.
Mr.. Bland opened the debate for the
! free silver advocates and presented an
amendment forbidding any dilatory
motions after p. m, when a vote was
to be taken on the bill, if the resolution
of the committee on rules was adopted
Mr. Bartine, republican, of Nevada,
supported the resolution and appealed
/ to his colleagues to pass the resolution
| Mr. Clark, democrat, of Alabama fed
! the track on his previous record on the
silver question and opposed the resolu-
ton. Mr.. Patterson, democrat, of Ten
nessee, followed in a similar vein, and
] threw CONSERVATION into the camp of
| silverites. Then the republicans put
| forward their leader, Mr. Reed, of
Maine, who made a characteristic
/ speech He arraigned the democratic
( party for their cowardice, who clamored
| for Office under any and all cireum-
stances. His remarks were frequently
! interrupted by applause.
/ Mr.. Patterson said he would vote for
the previous question on the resolution
but on the final vote he would vote
against the bill The democratic party
stood together for tariff reform, home
rule, states rights, bus they were di-
vided on the silver question The re-
publican party had rendered protect
/ i've tariff and force bill as the issues of
the campaign. II should be fair and
square fight on the great political
issues. Silver was not an issue, as both
parties were divided on it.
! The debate was closed by Mr.. Bland,
who went into brief technical discus
sion upon the silver question, quoting
| statistics to show the present condi-
tions of that metal.
MIR. Catchings then demanded the
previous question on the subject of the
resolution
! The house was now all excitement
! Anti-silver men and silver men were
eagerly engaged in conversation, al
/ though it was very evident that the
resolution was beaten even before the
vote was taken, Mr.. Reeds announce
ment from the republicans position on
the question insuring defeat Yeas and
NAYS were demanded and resulted:
/ Yeas, 163; nays, 129.
Mr. Catchings moved the passage of
the resolution and on a viva voce vote
! the speaker declared that the noes had
it The yeas and nays were called for
by Mr. Tracey on this test vote The
house was in comparative quiet, the
members leaving their seats after
voting and before the roll call had pro-
ceeded very far it was seen that the
resolution was dead The vote resulted:
Yeas, 1876; nays, 154.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 12- AS soon as
Gen. Snowden had established his
headquarters in the schoolhouse on the
hill over the iron works he was waited
on by a committee consisting of O'Don-
nell, Coon, Crawford, Sch-kman and
Clifford, representing the Amalgamated
association, the advisory committee
and the citizens. Coon was the spolxes-
man, and coming to Gen. Snowden, he
stated that he represented the associa-
ton and the citizens; that on their
part he welcomed the troops to the
town and he offered the cooperation of
the citizens in preserving order.
Gen. Snowden said: II thank you for
your welcome, but do not need your
cooperation. The only way good citi-
zens can cooperate with US in preserv-
ing good order is to so peaceably about
their business"
Coon said: "The citizens wish to
know at what time they may give you

Non-UnIon Men En- Route

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 14-At the
strikers headquarters it was reported
shortly after midnight that 400 nom
union men were gathered in Pittsburgh
to be brought into Homestead to-day
The unusual activity among the troops
on the hill was supposed to have some
connection with the incoming train
load and much anxiety was expressed
as to when and how they would be
brought in The generally accepted
theory was that if the non-union men
were coming, which was doubted, they
would be got in under heavy es< OrS
about daybreak.

was beaten at the last presidential
election. Mr.. Stevenson, after two
terms IN congress, was defeated by the
people In 1880, and, though he ran as
greenback and democratic candidate,
pandering TO the worst financial
heresies, was set aside by the voters of
his district In at least two successive
campaigns as useless lumber. From
his political grave President Cleveland
resurrected him to ELL the post of as

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.

MIR. Fosters appointment Is Generally
Commended.
The promotion of Hon. John W. Foster,
of Indiana, from his position as special
commissioner of the state departments
to the vacant secretaryship will be
surprise to many and yet will call forth
general commendation. In looking
about for man to carry forward the
work that has made the state depart
ment so notable during this administra-
ton, President Harrison could hardly
have hit upon another so well fitted for
the place both by long experience and
by natural talents. MIR. Foster has
been connected with the state depart
ment more than a dozen years. His
first appointment, that of minister to
Mexico, was made by Grant in 1878.
After seven years service in that i'm
portant position he resigned only to ac-
cept from President Arthur the post of
minister to Spain three years later,

ANXIOUS TO GET HOME.
The Feeling Prevalent Among Congress-
men Just at Present.

WASHINGTON. July l5.-After all,
there is an astonishingly small number
Of sore heads left in congress as 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 we'll of as 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 that representatives could do
to advance the cause which is SO near
their hearts and that they nope 10 re
new the struggle next winter with
better prospects Of success The
antis, as they are now CON-
monty known, as n 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 rs
''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 anx-
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 spprehen-
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 conference report on
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

taken up under the operation of special
