ADMINISTRATION APPROVED.

House Passes a Resolution Indorsing the
Course of the Government on the Strike.
The House yesterday. by vote of 125 to
27, adopted a resolution offered by Mr.. Nc
Creary, of Kentucky, indorsing the action of
the President and the administration in sup
pressing lawlessness in connection with the
strike. 1t was as follows:
Resolved. That the House OF Representa-
tives indorses the prompt and vigorous efforts
of the President and his administration to
suppress lawlessness, restore order and pre-
vent improper interference with the enforce
nent OF the laws of the United States and
with the transportation of the mails of the
United States and with interstate commerce.

rules, only thirty minutes being allowed for

what the New York World and other papers
said were true) was now an attorney for cor

After a few further remarks by Mr.. Nc
Creary. Mr.. Bland declared tnat. while he
indorsed every effort of the administration to

Of the state ought to be exhausted before the
Federal government was calledsupon. He
protested against the omnibus injunction.
Mr.. Pence made an effort to extend the debate,
but failed.
Mr. Catchings then closed with brief
speech declaring that the Federal government
could go wherever it was necessary to go
when occasion arose. He commended the
Attorney General and said his action had in
spired admiration and confidence. and that
the courage and determination OF the Presi-

who claimed the right to interfere with bust

Sorry Looking Men Still Marching Toward
ROsSlyn.

The industrial army grows apace, and the
men are scratching around for food. Gen.
Frye's army now numbers l 500 souls at Ross
lyn. Kelley, and Mr.. and Mrs. Randall are now
in with the men. When Randall's men
camped they were ragged. footsore and hun
CRY, and it was twenty-four hours before they
got anything to eat.
The camp is in deplorable condition.
The l.5O0 men. most OF them physically
strong and capable of work are so many
drones. The men lie about indolenty in the
sun, squatting under trees or in little huts.
They make very little effort TO keep them
selves clean. and the longer they are in the
camp the worse they get.
Several oi the more prominent among the
numbers of the army amused a crowd during
last evening by making speeches from a
broKen-down cart, misnamed a commissary
wagon.
A crowd of negroes conSregate on a little
knoll and listen to the now stale oratory
which is poured out nightly by Salisbury,

that they will be encamped all Summer and
Winter.

To The EDITOR: VIII you kindly allow space in

There was neither excuse nor premium given
for suicide, but the most plainly-expressed
Christ-like sympathy for the mistaken ones
who could not commit the act unless insane at
the time, although suicide is often contemplated
by those who, knowing life is immortal and that
life is all. through this knowledge. remove the
fear of annihilation. The statement made was
in effect that one may entertain n desire of
change Of scene while in aaormal mental state,
but could not commit suicide unless insane at
the time. If this life were all IL might be better
for those who will need the publication which
this human experience does not seem TO furnish.
Had the reporter himself been a capper, as he
chooses TO name the sincere students of truth,
he might have gained some information to as
sist the world, rather than a personal show of
erudition, abusive to the English language and
detrimental 10 the circulation of an honest pa

the least difficulty in regulating the flow.
If a description of belongings will educate the
people, one need not endure a hot-weather ex-
perience but the reporter need only call on his
own uncertain imagination, supplied with his
vocabulary, with need of neither continuity of
thought nor understanding.

Two more appropriation bills-the legisla-

of Columbia were disposed of by the Senate
yesterday.
The agricultural appropriation bill was also
considered, and was on the point of being
passed. but there were several individual
amendments left to be considered tomorrow.
This leaves but three more appropriation
bills to be considered. the Indian, sGndry
civil. and deficiency appropriation bills, and
OF these only the first has come from the COM
mittee.
The anti-option bill. which has been on
the Vice Presidents table since it came from
the House several weeks ago, was referred TO
the Committee on Agriculture and Forestry.
The conference report on the military acad-
envy bill was agreed to.
The only important discussion on the agri-
cultural bill was on the question OF allowing
the Secretary of Agriculture TO have dis
cretionary power in the appointment and pay
of clerks, proposition voted down, because
it gave preference to one Secretary in ex-
clusion to the others.

SHIPPING INTERESTS PROTEST.
European immigration in Canada Recciv.
ing Undue Advantages at Present.

Complaints from the American steamship
companies against the working of certain
branches of the immigration laws have occu-
pied the attention of the House Committee on
Immigration at its last three sessions, the
particular detail of the system with which the
shipping interests are dissatisfied being the
arrangement governing immigrants who land
at Canadian points bound for the United
States. 1t is the contention of the steamship
companies that the system gives an advan-
tage TO their Canadian competitors, since the
ships landing at United states ports are
obliged to return at their own expense all
immigrants who prove to be paupers or ex-
convicts, or become public charges within a
year after their arrival. Superintendent
Stump told the committee that the only alter
native was to police the Canadian border and
have the inspection carried out there, system
which would entail great expense, if it would
not be entirely impracticable.
