vocates of an extra session of the Leg
islature are not encouraged by the man
ner in which the proposition to call the

Congressional.

Eight hours were spent yesterday in
general debate in the Senate upon the
proposition to place raw wool or the
free list, without reaching q vote. Those
wh) participated were Messrs. Lodge
aad Hoar, of Massachusetts; Platt, Of
Connecticut; Higgins, of Delaware:

Harris, the floor manager of the tariff
bill, reached an agreement with Sena-
tor Aldrich, who is managing the OPP
position for the republicans, to take a
vote on the free wool proposition be-
fore adjournment; but when six o'clock
came, Mr.. Quay and Mr.. Dolph refused
to acquiesce in the agreement, and at
ter n slight attempt at filibustering,
Mr.. Harris concluded to yield to an adj
%journmcnt, it being the general opinion
expressed by the republican leaders
that a vote could be reached to-day, al
though no formal agreement "a made.
Less than seven pages of the Indian
bill were covered in the House, but
there was a great amount of discussion.
The sensational event of the day was a
personal controversy between Mr..
Johnson, of Indiana, and Mr.. Maddox,
of Georgia, and the events which led
up to it. The row between the Indiana
and Georgia representatives occurred
in the space between the Speakers
desk, on the democratic side, but be-
fore a blow was struck the belligerent
members we're separated by deputy
sergeant-at-arms, and the excitement
blew over. The day was also marked
by a bitter personal attack on Mr.. Hol-
man by Mr.. Johnson, which Mr.. Hol-
mar received in silence.

BECAUSE Rev. Mr.. Cave, at a Conied-

A REPUBLICAN newspaper Of st.
Louis says the Governors Of eight
Southern States do not endorse the adj
dress delivered by Rev. Mr.. Cave at the
recent dedication Of the Confederate
monument at Richmond. Well, so
much the worse for the Governors.
That the overwhelming majority of the
white people of their States do endorse
it, and know that every word oft is
true, goes without saying. And, what's
more, thousands of well-informed and
unprecedented men of the North do like
wise, and consequently are led to doubt
the sincerity of Southern men who
don't. In the good old times Southern
public men had the moral courage to
express their convictions-said what
they thought, but it's different now.

Wheeling was broken last night. Eight
coal trains, under the guard of troops.
ran the gauntlet without an incident.
If tonight passes without trouble there
will be none until after the troops

BELLAIRE, o., June 15.-Allairs are
quiet at the seat of the mining troubles,
and no trouble is expected. The sol
diers remain on guard. Coal banks
are all idle.
IEoNwooD, Mich, June 15.-Unless

BEACH CITY, o., June 15.-The
bridge at Midvalc was repaired y%ester-
day. Several shots were fired on COM
pany A, three miles below here, and
the soldiers returned the fire. More
coal trains will be run to-day and live
ly times arc expected.
ANDERSON, L. T., June 15.-Over 200
striking miners from the Choctaw Ma
ton were arrested yesterday and placed
in box cars and carried out of the terri
tory to the Arkansas State line. 1t is
believed this action will virtually settle

PITTsBURG, Pa, June ia tele-

was made to wreck the military train
last night by placing a tie across the
track. The Cleveland, Lorian and
Wheeling management expected that
such methods would be resorted to and
had all of its section men patroling
with lanterns. There are no clues TO
the guilty parties. Coal trains are
moving to-Gay without the least moles-
tation. Over 400 cars of coal have
gone north and more are coming.
EVANSVILLE, o., June ia trestle
was burned this forenoon, near Grang-
ers' Station, on the Brush Creek branch

pected of firing the trestle.

BECAUSE the coal miners strike has
not succeeded, the strikers have turned
upon Mr.. Mcbride, the chief of their
union, who ordered the strike, and are
now rending him. But such has been
the fate of all similar leaders, in all
times. They start movements they can
not control, and in attempting to do so
are invariably overrun and trampled
upon.

IT Is printed that the rate of death
from consumption is higher in Wash
ington than in many of the other cities
of the country. That it is lower here
than in many other, even of the South
ern cities, in which consumption is a
rare disease, is q we'll known and long
established fact. The lesson is plain.
The Westinghouse who dread con-
sumption may attend to their business
in that city, but by all means they
should move across the river, and have
their homes in Alexandria.
