WASHINGTON, D. c.. August 15.-The
most interesting speech In the House
to-day, because it was really the first
Republican protest against free coin
age. was delivered by Mr.. Grosvenor,
OF Ohio, and was lacking neither IN sar-
casm nor satire.
Mr.. Blanchard revlswed the silver
legislation OF the country and quoted
from both the Democratic and Repuoi-
can platforms, and expressed his .opin-
ion that IL the Republican platform
meant anything.
Mr.. Grosyeuor said IL was 70 be re-
GREETED that the President in his mess
age to Congress had not been 80 void OF
partisanship, as be had asked the two

clared the Repu olicans had been respon-
sible for the state OF affairs, and this
statement would be the origin OF politi-
cal discussion-if political discussion

tions hereby determined with q view to
the protection and preservation OF the
fur seals shall remain Ia force until they
have been wholly or IN part abolished or
modified by common agreement be-
tween the United States and Great Brit
sin.
The arbitrators make Especial finding
on the facts agreed upon by the agents
OF both governments with reference to
the seizure Of British vessels in Behring
sea in 1887 and 1889. In addition the
srbitrators made certain suggestions to
the two governments. the most import
ant being that they should come to an
understanding Co prohibit the killing OF
seals on land or sea for period OF from
one to three yeSrs and should enact reg
ulations 70 carry out the findings OF the
arbitrators.
In an in,erView to-day with the rep
resentative in this city Of the Assoei-
ated Press with the Hon. John w. Fos-
ter, the American agent of the Bering
Sea tribunal OF arbitration, said that
under the decision OF the tribunal no
pelagic aealing can be carried on be-
tween May first and July thirty-frst.
After that time such sealing may be
prosecuted ia Bering Sea with spears at
a distance OF sixty miles from the is
lands.
This decision limits pelagic sealing to
narrow bounds. Mr.. Foster said he
thought that maybe the restrictions
would render the pelagic industry un-
profitable.
The consensus of opinion among the
American agents and counsel is that
though techinal success rests with
Great Britain on legal points, on prac-
tical grounds the victory is TO the
United States, as the arbitration was
entered upon TO preserve the seals, and
the decision achieves that result

demand q vote yea or nay on the report

that was no reason why they should not

The Vice President asked II there

Mr.. CocKreh, MisSouri-There is no

A Twenty-Pointer Deer.

Lord Burton's magnificent twenty
pointer deer, killed recently in Glen.
quoich forest, proves to have been an
unusual one in several particulars.
The stag, which is not atall remarkable
for its size of body in proportion to its
massive head, was shot through the
back ut distance OF 800 yards, and it
is said that this is the only known in
stance of n twenty-pointer having ever
been killed in a Scotch forest One
eighteen-pointer killed in 1890 comes
the nearest. Lord Burton's trophy has
ten perfectly developed tines on each
of its magnificent brow antlers and the
top of each horn forms a massive clus-
ter of seven palmated tines, each point
matching in every detail with the cor
responding one opposite. 1t is seldom
that such magnificent ntlers are found
nowadays-London Telegraph.

LABOR UNIONS.


Proposition to Unto All Labor OrganIza-
lions Into One Gigantic Confederation.
New YORK, Oct. 23-No achievement
of organized labor in this or any other
country can compare in magnitude
with movement which it is proposed
to inaugurate at the general assembly
of knights of Labor next month and
to consummate when delegates
representing the entire Amer
lean federation of labor convenes
in December. An amalgamatiOn
of every labor order and labor
union in the United States, whereby
all shall recognize single supreme au-
thority and in which over hundreds
and thousands of workmen shall be an
organized unit in everything that
seems to affect their interests, is the
end aimed at Only one potent in
fluence is being eXerted to the eXecu-
ton of this scheme-that of Samuel
Gompers. Another man, willingly or
unwillingly, is looked to as cham
pion of the movement, Terence V.
Powderly, and has already given it a
qualified approval.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Powderly had lately authorized an an
nouncement of his coming withdrawal
as general master of the Knights OF
Labor 1t is now authoritatively de-
clared by those who have served on the
committee which requested Mr.. Pow
derly's acceptance of one more cleo
ton that he has consented. The COM
plications growing out of Secretary and
Treasurer John W. Hayes official
standing have, it appears, been salts
factorily adjusted pending the conven-
ton of the general assembly.
There are indications of internal up.
heavals in all the labor orders. The
utterances of such leaders as John G.
Costello, of Pittsburgh, Pa; John L.
Byron, of Massachusetts,; Thomas j.
Morgan, of Chicago, and II. NJ. Camp
bell, of Memphis, to mention those
only who are of the rank and file as
well as influential, have been long for
consolidation. Mr.. Gompers has natu-
rally crystallized the opposition. and
especially as I. v. Powderly is in favor
of union on general principles. For
this reason he has advocated final
action recently with the Farmers Alli-
ance and similar organizations as well
as closer Identification with political
movements.
Such consolidation would have an
imposing result. 1t would mean MEM
bership of $500 and a revenue of
e., 600, 900 yearly. The argument that
it is too gigantic for ready action is
met by the proposition to maintain the
order in divisions-one to be known as
knights of Labor another as the Fed
Grafton, and so on.

rooiah stone In the Black Pasoda.

What threatened to be serious
question between the people of Orissa
and the Indian government has been
settled by the restoration of the POO
jah stone" to the famous "Black Pago-
da" in that province, better known as
the Temple of the Sun For ages
over the main entrance of the temple
there reposed large stone slab on
which were carved symbols of the sun,
the moon, Mars, Venus, Saturn, Jupi-
ter and Mercury and the nodes of the
moon. Thirty years ago this ''planet
stone," as it has been called, fell from
the architrave of the temple, and,
though unnoticed before, it appears to
have Mt once become an object of wor-
ship. Recently the stone came under
the observation of the lieutcnant-gov-
ernor of Bengal, who, recognizing its
artistic value and observing that it was
lying apparently unregarded just
where it fell, ordered its removal to
the India museum. Hereupon, how
ever, ensued great excitement among
the community. which, as it subse-
quently appeared, had teen in the habit
for years past of making offerings To
the stone and to the priest.
