ANOTHER HORSE STOLEN.
Robert Totten's Horse Appropriated Mon
day Night-Recovered Last Night

1t seems that there were two cases of
morse stealing last Monday evening. The
man who took Mr.. Burkharts horse drove
him all night. apparently, and then
abandoned him. He was found yesterday
morning under the Clark street bridge.
At about the same time Robert Totten of
this city was driving his own team, with
Alfred Dunphy of Deering as a companion.
He got out to enter store. and when he
came out the team and Dunphy had disap-
peared.
Totten hunted for him yesterday and
learned that he had been seen driving out
to Deering with the team. He went to
Dunphy's home but he wasn't there. Then
he complained at the police station last
evening. He said that Dunphy, whom he
knew slightly, came to his stable Monday
night and asked if he wanted to sell the
horse. They took a ride together to show
the horse to Dunphy. and he stole it as
above narrated. Late last evening, Totten
received word from Aliens Corner that his
horse was there and would be driven In by
another man. as soon as the carriage,
which was badly broken, could be tied up.
Dunphy had left the horse there and has
disappeared. He is evidently indulging in
protracted spree.

A CRASH IN THE DARKNESS.
A Four-Masted Schooner in Collision with
Steamer.

Baltimore, Nd. August 7.-The steamship
Culmore sailed yesterday for Port Antonio,
Jamaica. About three o'clock this morning,
off Smiths Point, ninety miles down
the bay four masted schooner coIlided
with the Culmore. Her bowsprit swept the
length of the vessel, tearing away every
thing that came in the way. Both masts
went down, taking the flying bridge. Chief
Mate TAFT, was thrown to the deck and bad
iy hurt. The finishing work of destruction
was the swapping of the mainmast off close
to the deck, and before. those below C could
get on deck the schooner veered off and dis
appeared in the darkness. She made no in
quiry as to whether she had disabled the
steamer. The Culmore was left dismasted
hulk. The damaged vessel slowly steamed
back to port. 1t will cost several Thousand
dollars to repair the Culmore, and it will be
at least ten days before she is ready for sea
again.

RIoTINo IN MONTREAL.
French Catholics Wreck Missions and
Salvation Army Barracks

Quebec, August IA French Baptist
mission was recently established here with
headquarters in building on Bridge street.
A mob gathered around she building last
night and attacked it with stones. The
preachers were made prisoners until a force
of police cleared away the mob, which num-
bered 5000. mostly French Catholics. The
mob then went to the building at tie corner
of George and Richealieu streets, occupied
by the French-Anglican mission This place
was wrecked and the windows, etc, de-
stroyed. By the time the police got this far
the rioters were at the Salvation Army
barracks There another fusilade of stones
took place. The property of the army sus-
tanned considerable damage. The police
arrived too late toNmake any arrest. The
rioters again made for the mission house on
Bridge street, and the police started in cabs
for that place, where they arrived in time
to prevent second riot. The streets were
cleared and the missionaries escorted to
their homes. There is reason to fear a re-
currence OF the trouble. The city is>quiet
today.

judge examined at great length Felix
Femione, formerly clerk in. the war
office, Armand Matha. publcist. and
Philippe Leon Ortiz, shop clerks, Ital-
ians Bertam and Chericoth. Eax fonr
hours the prisoners denied and argued
against every point in the Indictment.
All efforts to tire them or trap them Ill
to admissions of guilt were futile, as the
men stoutly denied everything. Sebastian
Faure interposed once in the examination
to deny the presidents suggestion that
he and Matha carried on a seditious
correspondence.

WANT TO RECALL THE BILL.
The Senate May Withdraw 1t From the
Conference.

Washington, August 7.-When the tar
lff conferees adjourned for lunch, mir.
Wilson was quoted as saying that no
headway had been made. 1t is said that
Senator Jones made every effort to get a
disagreeing report, in order that the
bill could be got backssto the Senate for
action in that body, this being to his
mind the only solution to the problem.
Mr.. Wilson refused to take any action
looking to that end. During the morn
ing, Messrs. Vest, Jones, German and
Smith held conference in the rear room
of the committeeson appropriations, at
which new turn of events was dis
cnssed. he rules and pracIice of the

authority to call back the tariff bill. 1t is
claimed as the Senate granted a confer
ence it can recall and place the bill
again on the table for the action of the
Senate. Mr.. German is said to be in
favor of this course if it can be accom-
plished.

a resolution requesting the President of

to, the rebellion in Cuba. In all cases
where such persons are held without

them, it requests the President to in
struct the Consul General at Havana to
make arrangements for the defence of
such citizens when they have not the
means to employ counsel, ard toproeure
witnesses. ~

ing OF the citizens of the United States
without trial and on suspicion only was
not violation of the law Of nations,

did not imply abnegation of the rights
of citizenship, ana suggested the phrase
ology be to require the President to take
measures to secure their release.
Mr.. Gray adopted the suggestion, and
the resolution was modified to read to
make inquiry as to the facts and TO take
measures to secure the release,n ETC.,
and was agreed to.

ing the COMMITTEES on printing to con-
slider and report as to the advisa bi!ity
of having the government printing and
binding done under the contract sys-
tenn, and as to the difference IN cost be-
tween private and public work of the
same classes. He asked that the resolu-
tion be printed and laid over, and it
was SO orderd.
