WAR In THE EAST.

LONDON, Aug 7, 1885,. Central News
has this dispatch from Shanghai concerning
the action of Chinese soldiers in seizing Ja-
panese subjects aboard the British steamer
Chung King last week.:
"The British steamer Chung King ar
rived in port today. The Captain says that
while his ship was at Tungku on the Gulf of
Pechili, Chinese soldiers came aboard her.
with the avowed purpose of seizing the
japanese passengers. They found sixty
Japanese, mostly women and children, and
at once began to hunt them down.
They pursued the Japanese all over the
vessel, bound them hand and foot as soon as
caught, and flung them over on the wharf.
Lii Hung Chang, when informed of this vio-
lation of the British flag, commanded that
tine japanese be returned at once to the
Chung King, and that the soldiers who
made the raid be punished severely.

WASHINGTON. Aug. Z, 1S94.-One year
ago today the Fifty-thir Congress met
in extra session to repeal the Sherman Silver
Purchase law and to give relief to the im-
paired financial standing of the National
Treasury. With the exception of a months
adjournment IN November last, Congress
has been in session ever since, and the finan-
ciaI situation has been continuously going
worse. Everyone feels that an outcome of
the long drawn out agony Of uncertainty
must be reached soon, and some are dis
posed to turn hopeful eyes on the House
caucus today as likely to command "a
breakawayn in the deadlock between the
two Houses.
In the corridors of the Capitol this morn
ing considerable uncertainty was expressed
as to the attitude which the House con-
ferrees and the so-caIled administration
democrats would assume towards the caucus.
There are two sets of opinion expressed
one that the administration men will go
into the caucus and control it, and prevent
the passage of any resolution instructing the
House conferrees to accept the Senate bill.
Another, that the administration men will
stay away from the caucus so as to prevent
any action. Mr.. Bland and other free lance
Independents are talking somewhat vicious
ly against both sides
BLAND's VERSION OF IT.
''The whole question: SAYS Mr.. Bland, lis
misunderstood and the public view of the
tariff question has been obscured by mis-
representation. l can't see why the Presi-
dent is credited with standing by the House
bill. He is really advocating the Senate
49,
provided for free sugar and an income tax.
The President is opposed to an income tax,
and practically stands by the Senate on sugar.
He wants them to put tax on sugar and in a
way apologies for the trust. Now it is made
to appear that the fight is on sugar. but
everybody knows that it is merely a sham,
and that iron and coal have been made an
issue. These items don't amount to any
thing as question. They would not keep
Congress in session twenty-four hours. Let
the President come out for an income tax
and free sugar, which is the real meat of the
House bill, and the House, if know its tenn
per, will sit it our till next March.
BAILEY AND BYNUM.
Mr. Bailey of Texas who mas been prom
inently identified with the caucus move
ment is quoted as saying that the Senate
BILL il brought to vote in the House,
would pass by a large majority, and in this
view he is supported by other democrats
When Mr.. Bynum was asked what had
directly inspired the movement, he said:
1--WE are ready to adjourn, and we want to
know why no agreement is reached. When
his attention was called to the objection that
no report had yet been made by the con-
ferees, he said aThis will give them an OPP
portunity to report He added that he had
circulated the call in person. Mr.. Springer
had merely signed it. Those whom
he had seen had signed it readily,
and he had no doubt that it would
be an harmonious caucus. There was no in
