The leaders in the strike movement are

the men generally say the regulars
will not be opposed unless they try to
move Pullman cars when they will be
treated roughly. Sacramento is OF
course under martial law, though, thus
far, it has not altered things in any
way. Harry Knox, chairman of the
committee on mediation, said last night
the strikers would abide by the decision
of the attorney, making no resistance
to the troops. The regulars from Pre-
sidia landed here at six o'clock this
morning and went to the depot, which
was deserted. They achieved blood
less victory. There was an exchange
of shots on the levee between the
troops and strikers on the opposite
bank, and it is believed that Ole OF the
strikers was killed.
The soldiers have surrounded the

being made up.

opinion as to the merits or dement's OF
the proposition. He repeated that II
was 80 sop to conciIiatc elements that
are seeking to overthrow the govern
ment." And he asked Mr.. Daniel TO
withdraw it.
Mr.. Hawley also opposed the arbi'
tration clause of the resolution, saying
that it was matter quite outside OF,
and foreign to, the field which the
Senate had undertaken to occupy.
Mr.. Daniel.-I think we all seek
common purpose in the right spirit. l
do not want to prolong this debate at a
time when the Senate has so many i'm
portant matters before it. If acceptable
to Senator'S 1 would propose to with
draw the second clause as submitted
this morning and to drop all fmy reso-
luton of yesterday except the first and
last paragraphs.
Several republican Senators.-"That

The resolution was modified and
adopted without division. As adopted

bers of his administration to repulse and re.

sympathy and support of the lawaoidlng
masses of the people of the United States, and
he will be supported by al departments OF

FIFTY-THIRD CONGRESS-.
WASHINGTON, July II.
SENATE.

/
The chaplain of the Senate in his
opening prayer al noon supplcated for
peace and order where there was now
violence and crime and for speedy
vindication of the supremacy Of law
and of the masistracy.
A question of precedence in business
was raised between Mr.. Blackburn,
who wished to proceed with an appro-
priation bill, and Mr.. Daniel, who wish
ed to have the resolution of Mr.. PETER
taken up, with his own substitute offer
ed for it yesterday, which sustains the
action of the President and his admin
istration. Finally Mr. Black burn yield
ed and Mr.. Daniel took the floor.
After the resolution and the substi-
tute had been read, Mr.. Daniel said
that, on consultation with several Sen
ators, both democratic and republican,
he would now offer an additional clause
to his substitute. This additional clause
was that, while the Senate explicitly
declares its determination to endorse
the executive in the enforcement of the
laws and in maintaining the supremacy
of the constitution, it deems it proper,
also, to declare its adhesion to the
principle of arbitration of difficulties
and controversies between the employ
er of labor and the employees, as recog-
nized in the laws of the United States,
and to express its condemnation Of the
refusal Of party to such controversy
connected with the late disturbances at
Chicago and vicinity to submit such
difficulty and controversy to fair and
impartial arbitration, and its determi-
nation also to use, in the promotion Of
such arbitration, whatever constitution
al powers it may possess.
Mr.. Carey regarded this second clause
as lessening of the effect of the resolu-
ton offered yesterday and declared that
the Senate had nothing to do with the
difficulties between employers and en-
ployed
Mr.. Gallinger explained why he had
objected to having Mr. Daniels resolu-
ton voted on yesterday. He had not
fully comprehended its terms when it
was read. Aud he had asked to take
some time to examine it. He would
very cordially vote for the resolution
and for the amendment proposed to-
day.
Mr.. Dolph said that he would be
very glad to have substituted for the
resolution and pending amendment a
simple resolution endorsing the action
of the President in the matter. He III
timated that the Senator from Virginia
han "become afraid of his resolution
of yesterday and now proposed to
throw souse to those who were en-
gagged in defying the laws. committing
murder, and destroying property. Part
OF the amendment proposed to-day was,
he said, "a covert condemnation of the
Pullman Company for refusing to arbi
trate.n

OF ALL the people in Chicago, those
who should be most opposed to the
destructive acts of the strikers there, are
the poor, for every cents worth of
property so destroyed will be paid for
by that city, and the chief way by which
it will be done, will be by raising
taxes on houses, and it goes without
saying that The owners of such houses
will get even by raising rents, which
the poor renters will have to pay.

BY THE terms of the Constitution,
the U. S. Senate is the judge of the
qualifications of its own members, and,
when so disposed, can expel them. If
the preaching of anarchy in the highest
branch of the national legislature be
not q disqualification for Senator,
then Mr.. PETER should retain his seat,
but if it be, there will soon be vacant
chair in the Senate, that is if two-thirds
of the members of that body have the
moral courage to vote as they think.

THE FASHION PLATE.

Double breasted jackets will be i'm
favor for fall and winter.
Corsets are made very loose across the
chest and tightly laced around the waist
and across the hips
Always have the edge Of your glove
meet the edge Of the sleeve, whatever
the length of the latter may be.
The shoulder capes made on jackets
are fiat and narrow, following the con-
tours of front, back and shoulders.
A Frenchwonan thinks nothing Of
paying SO OF $50 for a corset, but cor
set at that price lasts a couple of years
Bodices are made to lap over from
one side to the other in the front, so as
to make an unbroken line from sleeve
to sleeve.
Capotes are considerably larger in
size and chiefly extend in width to be
in harmony with the new ways of dress
ing the hair
Big bone and mother Of pearl buttons
will be applied to serge dresses and
jackets. They will be almost uncom-
promising in size.
Metal belts are entirely. out Of FASH
ion. Something more cline.ng and
plant, such as ribbon and velvet, have
taken their place. Leather belts have
never found favor with the French.
Never has a garment been SO in vogue
as the cape. Long, short, wide, narrow,
plain, ornate, practical and impractical,
they are seen on the backs Of young and
old Still the jacket is preferable for
winter, for the cape, unless made cling
ing, is the coldest garment that was
ever made.-Brooklyn Eagle
