ANTI.OPTIONS NEXT,
The Measure to Be Pressed This
Week.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE anti
option bill will be pressed to the front
in the house of representatives, and
Mr.. Hatch, its author. is confident he
can secure consideration of the meas
ure Monday and vote on it about
Wednesday. He will yield tomorrow
for several minor measures, which NAV
be brought up under suspension of the
rules, but will insist that anti-optlon is
to be the first discussion of anv length
The deficiency appropriation bill, which
is the last of the appropriation bills,
will be reported from the committee
Monday. and it is expected that it will
be taken up about Thursday, when
antl.Option is out of tine way, If it is
considered as Mr.. Hatch thinks. Other
wise the deficiency bill may be
taken up at once. Unusual inter
est attaches to the deficiency bill,
owing to the position of Repre-
sentative Breckinridge. of Kentucky. as
chairman of the deficiency subcom-
mittee. He has been present at the
meetings of the committee during the
last week, and has eyiuced an interest
in the bill and a desire to take charge of
II. a leading member of the committee
said there would certainly be no clash
on this personal aspect of the bill. but
he added that no definite conclusion
had been reached as TO who would have
charge of the measure. The members
interested in the many Southern war
claims, which have been punched as an
omnibus claims bill, are seeking to get
a special rule giving them an early
bearing. These claims have been ap-
proved by the court of claims. but
there is no way OF paying them until
congress makes an appropriation. The
New Mexico statehood bill and the
Cooper bill to tax greenbacks are also
struggling for an early hearing.

The BATTLE OF THE ELKS.
IT IS PLAINLY GOING TO BE or THE
ROYAL ORDER.
The Breach Between Grand Ex-
alted Ruler ApDerly and the
Board of Grand Trustees Wild
Address-Statement OF the Sit.
uation at Jamestown.

JAMESTOWN, N. j., June 17.-The ar
rival of Elks from all sections of the
country exceed any attendance of the
grand lodge meeting that ever has been
known in the history of the order.
There are about 120 lodges represented
on the ground and over twenty states.
The indications are that over 400 will
answer to the roll call tomorrow. Of
those in attendance so far, less than
one-fifth ale in favor of leaving James
town. The grand body will vote by an
overwhelming majority in favor of re-
naming in Jamestown and transacting
ali its business. The reunion festlyi-
ties will not begin until Wednes-
day, and all indications point
to large attendance, not only
from distance. but from the lodges IN
the immediate vicinity. The Southern
lodges, headed by Louisville and st.
Louis. accompanied by Cincinnati,
twelve carloads, are expected in the
morning. There will be big contest
in the committee OH credentials in de-
nying admission to the grand lodges
that have failed to pay their per capita
tax to the grand treasurer. as the law
provides. Grand Exalted Ruler Apperly
has completed his address, stating
that his purpose for convening
the grand lodge in special ses-
sion is to adjust the differences
that have arisen between himself and
other grand lodge officers and his OBJ.
ject i'll calling the grand lodge in spe-
cial session was to consider the contro-
versy that has been going on between
the subordinate lodges, because he
recognized the fact that they could not
settle this matter. and the only bo1y
that could adjust it was the grand lodge.
The only question that will be presented
to the grand lodge in its special session
will be to determine who was right or
wrong in calling the annual meeting. An
important conference took place tonig hit
between the prominent legal lights that
are present in regard to the complica-
-tion and the best manner of adjusting
any existing difficulty. The trustees of
the grand lodge selected Atlantic CITY.
n. j., as the place of meeting this year,
but e. E. K. Apperly, of st. Louis, has
called meeting of the grand lodge
here tomorrow, one day in advance of
the day set for the meeting at Atlantic
City. If the action of the trustees be
approved by the majority of the grand
lodge that body will likely adjourn to-
morrow to Atlantic City for a three
days session. If the action OF the
grand exalted ruler is approved, then
the lodge will sit four days here.

RIoTING AT MT. OLIVE.
Illinois Troops Leave Hastily for
That Point.

CHICAGO, June 17.-At late hour
this evening Gen. Wheeler. command
ing the First brigade, Illinois national
guard, received orders from the adju.
tant general to send the Seventh regi-
ment. Col. Colby commanding, to
Mount Olive at once to aid the local
authorities in preserving peace. The
strikers have been acting in riotous
manner at Mount Olive for week past
preventing the movement of trains
containing cOal-laden cars, and
committing other lawless acts.
Last night party of United States
deputy marshals went to Mount Olive
from Springfield and arrested several of
the leaders of the mob who had been
instrumental in stopping traffic on the
railroads. Nearly thousand strikers
and sympathiZers gathered. however,
and made such threatening demonstra-
tions that the deputies released the men
and returned to Spring field. The sheriff
reported TO the governor that he was
unable to cope with the mob without
additional aid, and although there had
been no serious rioting as yet, it was
deemed best to take precautionary
measures. The Seventh regiment left
this city shortly after midnight ON a
special train.

BAD CHECKS ABROAD.
Several of Them Drawn Upon
Two Texans

ALBANY, Tex. June 17.-For some
Messrs. Webb & Hill,of this place, have
been receiving from different parts of
the country checks purporting to have
been drawn by them on the First Ma.
tlonal bank, of Haskell, Tex. The
checks are drawn in favor of c. NJ. Hill
aud K. G. Webb, and are cleverly gotten
up forgeries. Among the banks that
have forwarded checks for sums ranging
from $50 to $500 are the Commercial
National, of ST. Louis: First National of
Evansville, Ind; Keokuk National, of
Keokuk, To-; First National of Mar
shalltown, To-; Bank of Wisconsin and
Charles Scribner d Co.'s National Bank
of Oshkosh, Wis. Various business
firms i'll the places named had indorsed
the checks and presented them for col
lection i'll these banks. Strenuous eff
forts are being made to catch the forg-
ers. who are still probably flooding the
country with forged paper. Messrs.
Webb and Hill know nothing of the c.
NJ. Hill and r. G. Webb to whom the
checks are made payable. nor have they
ever mad an account with the bank OF
which the checks are drawn.

With A WALL OF FLOUR
WAS THE DAMAGED STEAMER ETHf-
OPIA KEPT AFLOAT.
LARGE HOLE IN HER BOW

Made by an Iceberg-Two of the
spars of the Vigilant Used in
the Construction Of ar Artifi-
cial Bulkhead-The Cargo Sus-
tains but Little Damage-Brav-
cry of Officers.
GLASGOW. June 1.-THE Anchor line
steamer Ethiopia. Capt, Wilson. from
New York, June 2. reported yesterday
as having been damaged in collision
with an iceberg. has arrived here. She
has large hole in her bow. The acci-
dent occurred OH the afternoon of June
e. during a heavy fog. The steamer
struck the berg with great force, and
the water began to pour in through the
hole made in her bows. Orders were
given to clear away and lower the
smaller boats preparatory to abandon
ing the ship. but before the tackles
were cast off from the davits Capt.
Wilson had had pumps placed near the
spot, and soon found that the steamer
was making comparatively little water.
The order to lower the boats was
countermanded. and the crew were
ordered to build an artificial bulkhead.
This was done, and the bulkhead
was covered with canvas, which greatly
checked the inflow of water. A number
of bags of flour. part of the vessels
cargo. were then piled up near the hole.
When the flour was saturated it formed
cement-like wall. AS soon as the berg
was seen the engines were stopped, and
were not started again for two days, or
until the temporary. repairs had been
effected. On board the Ethiopia were
the racing spars for the American rae
ing yacht Vigllant, which arrived at
Gourock yesterday. Two of these spars
were used for the construction of the
artificial bulkhead. Nobody was i'll
Jured. and the cargo sustained little
damage. The action of the officers and
crew of the Ethiopia at the time of the
collision and afterwards was highly
praiseworthy. aud purse of e54 was
subscribed by the passengers to be
divided among the crew. The fact that
the Ethiopia ran into the iceberg on the
afternoon Of June proves that it was
the same iceberg reported seen by the
Vigilant on that day.

Schedules Of 1898.

CHICAGO. June 17.-It is said that one
unexpected result of the convention OF
the A. K. U. now holding in this city
will be the demand in the near future of
a restoration of pay on several roads
running into Chicago. The convention

ule of 1898 without the necessity for

THE TROPPAU HORROR.
DEATH LIST REACHES THE AWFUL
TOTAL or 232.
STORY OF THE DISASTER.
The Whole OF the First Rescuing
Party Is Taken Out Dead
Money in London Is Getting
Very Easy-The British Invest
ing Largely in Home Railway
Securities.

TROPPAU, June 17.-The total num-
Der of deaths resulting from the explo-
sion that occurred in mine near here
few days ago is 232. Engineer Ko-
hout, the sole survivor of the party that
went to attempt the rescue of the
miners, said in an interview today that
he heard fearful explosion on Thurs
day night. He Immediately rushed to
the pit-head, from which dense smoke
and cloud of coal dust belched forth.
He formed party and descendad the
shaft into the mine. He entered the
fourth level where he found the bodies
of twenty-four miners and several dead
horses lying at the entrauce. The gal
lery was blocked with fallen beams and
coal. While waiting for reinforce
ments, fifteen survivors issued from
the we'll leading from the fifth level.
They were almost exhausted and in
dazed condition, but all joined in the
work of rescue. Herr Kohout returned
to the main shaft and signaled for assist
ance. Suddenly another terrific eXplo-
sion occurred, hurting the wagons to-
gether and throwing Herr Kohout to
the ground. His hat fell down the
shaft, but he ciutched a door, which
prevented him going down also. The
lamps in the level were eXtinguished.
Herr KohOut held handkerchief to his
mouth, and this prevented him being
choked to death by after damp. He was,
however, gradually losing his senses
wnen the pit men fleeing from the low
er level went up the shaft. Herr KohOut
shouted and was taken into the cage and
raised to the surface. A second party
descended into the mine and bravely
entered the galleries. They found all
the first rescue party dead. The rescu-
ers continued their explorations, and,
although they were badly burned, re-
covered some bodies. most of which
were unrecognizable. The mine is still
burning, and it will not be possible to
resume work for six months. The
victims were buried this afternoon, and
the services were marked by many dis
tressing scenes. The whole district was
flooded yesterday by the overfiowing of
the Vistula river. The bridges at Kar-
wIn and Darkau were blocked and
several others were destroyed. The
