Yesterdays Incidents.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 19.-Governor
Pattison and staff arrived here today.
They were escorted from the train to
General Snowden's headquarters by sew
eral hundred cavalrymen. Governor
Patterson took the shortest cut from the
train to the camp and thus did not ap-
pear at the station at Homestead. In
this way, the first intimation the strikers
and their families had of his presence
was the firing of artillery. It was sup
posed by many to mean that another
riot had broken out and another day of
bloodshed begun. Governor Pattison's
primary purpose in coming here is to in
spect the state troops. The probability
of the Governor attempting to take a
hand at arbitration between the Carne-
gle Company and the strikers was
broached but the staff officers who ac-
companied him on the train from Harris
burg did not express any confidence that
peace offers would be inaugurated
through official channels very soon, if at
all. The same topic was brought up at
the Amalgamated headquarters i'm
mediately after the Governors arrival.
There was no belief heard that anything
encouraging would result, however
much it might be hoped for.

British Election Gossip.

LONDON, July 19.-An Associated
Press correspondent had interviews yes
terday with several prominent Liberals
on the outcome of the election.
Some ventured to forecast the exact
dates of different events Thus the mo-
mentous division on the amendment
ousting the government is set down for
the 10Th of August. the resignation of
Lord Sal; sbury for August 20, and the
adjournment of Parliament for August
%. period of one month will be occu-
pied in the reelection of ministers and
the formation of cabinet, the House
formally reassembling at the end of Sep
tember and real work beginning about
the end of January. Events, then, it is
thought, will absolutely depend upon
the prudence of the Irish members. If
they insist upon the immediate prece-
dence of the home rule bill they will play
into the hands of the Conservatives, who
will want the earliest possible re-appeal
to the country, having full confidence
that they will obtain better results.
The sum of today's position is that the
Liberals, meaning to play for two or
three sessions before dissolving Parlia-
ment, will not rush the home rule bill.
If constrained to give it precedence, they
will not accept its rejection by the House
OF LORDS as neceSSlUdUlng aH lHIneuldto
dissolution, but will proceed with the
measures tending to strengthen the Lib
eral vote throughout the country.

that given at the trial did not justify the

stones government. and very likely home
secretary, if he entertains the convictions
attributed to him he can hardly avoid
recommending to the Queen the pardon

only casual acquaintance with him. and,
as the latter expressed it, he was select
ed solely on account of his high legal at
tainments and personal integrity.

SAco, July 19.-The Democrats of
Saco held a caucus tonight to elect dele
gates to the district convention in Bid
deford on Thursday and to the county
convention in Alfred, August Sd. The
eight delegates elected to the district
convention are all in favor of Tristram
Goldthwaite, Jr., for representative to
Congress and he will receive their sup
port although the delegation was unin-
sstructed. This choice of delegates fa-
voring Biddeford's war eagle for Con-
gress was undesired by the faction of the
party headed by DIR. Weymouth chair
man Of the Democratic city committee,
but they found themselves so hopelessly
outnumbered that they did not deem it
advisable to make a fight. This
faction did not secure representative on
either delegation. The county delega-
ton will favor George William Rumery
of Biddeford as candidate for sheriff. It
was not generally believed that Mr..
Goldthwaite could secure the support of
the Saco delegates, and the fact that
they will all go solid for him is looked
upon as materially improving his chances.
The names of those chosen as dele
gates to the District Convention are Hor-
ace B. Stuart, David B. Stuart, Daniel A.
Holmes. Henry M. Burns, George F.
Haley, Herbert R. Jordan, Samuel L.
Lord and George W. Perry.
Those chosen delegates to the County
Convention are William Edgecomb, L.

In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-In the Senate
today, after routine business, Mr.. Nor
gan called up the resolution offered by
him on the 14th inst, directing the COM
mittee on finance to report bill to give
all paper money issued by the United
States as legal tender for debts, and al
low the standard silver dollars the full
legal tender given by law to coins of
gold. There were, he said, Scotch and
English agencies in Alabama which
loaned money on contracts requiring
payment in gold coin. He was seeking a
remedy for that evil. He wanted to
make uniform the power of legal tender
money in payment of debts.
Mr.. Sherman moved that the resolu-
ton be referred to the committee ON
finance. There was not single provis-
ion in the preamble to the resolution
which was not disputed. The resolution
itself directed the finance committee,
without inquiry and without any oppor-
tunity for investigation, to report a bill
declaring that the people of the United
States shall have no right to contract
with each other as to the mode of pay
ments of their debts

A change of Procedure Authorized

WAsHINGToN, Feb. 10.-In the matter
of government proceedings against the
alleged fraudulent timber land entries
in Washington, Oregon and California,
the commissioneregeneral of the land
office, with the approval of the secretary.
of the interior, has instituted change
of procedure, by which parties claiming
title to these lands will hereafter be re-
quired to produce the original entry-men
and their witnesses at the local land
Offices for further examination, with
reference to any contracts or ar
arrangements which may have been
made prior to the entry for the convey
ance of land to corporations or syndl-
Gates. Tt appears from the records OF
the general land office that large tracts
of valuable timber land in different
localities have been entered on the same
day by a large number of persons, and
Immediately thereafter all the parties
transferred to syndicates. 1t is now
confidently asserted by these syndicates
that the government cannot prove the
entries were originally made in their
interests. This new order is made with
view of simplifying the procedure in
| such cases.

WASHINGTON, Feb. o. Representative
Wilson, of Washington, wants new
state carved out Of the Northwest. At
present northern Idaho is separated from
the southern part of the state by chain
of mountains, through which no practi-

SEQ gently when the citizens OF north
Idaho visit the south they make loop

divided by the Cascade range, running

says this state would be as large as Ohio

The Rumor that Blaine VIII Leave the
Cabinet is Most Emphatically
Denied.

BOISE CITY, Idaho, Feb. 9.-Another
heavy snowstorm is prevailing through
out Southern Idaho, greatly to the dis
of stockmen, who had
hoped for an early spring. The present
fall of snow will amount to six inches,
making it impossible for the starving
cattle and horses to uncover their scant
feed. Stockmen say there is absolutely
no hope for stock upon the ranges.
Thousands of animals are already dead
and the efforts to save the remaining
thousands will be abandoned. In some
of the vallies, farmers have run short OF
feed and have been compelled to turn
the.poorest of their stock adrift TO starve
or to be taken up. Every rancher who
comes into Boise reports having taken
up,a number of estrays. Scores OF COM
plants have been made to Stock Inspec-
tor Clark, but he is powerless to act.
Stations owned by stockmen are a
source of great trouble. They seem to
go mad with hunger, and run amuck
among the herds and droves, tearing
with their teeth and striking and kicking
with their feet. The present winter
has never been equaled in Idaho.
