q. They state large majority of the
grand lodge members will be at the
opening Of the grand lodge. A special
train will leave jamestown carrying
them from the north and west in time
for them to be at the regular meeting.
The Atlantic City lodge has made ex-
| tensive preparations for the entertain
ment of the visitors. The board of
grand trustees have issued a statement
to all members Of the grand lodge in
which it says:
'.Anent the beginning of this I'M
fortunate controversy which was
thrust upon US and was not of our
| seeking, we have studiously refrained
from personalities and strenuously en-
deavored to maintain and uphold the
laws and constitution Of this order in
a dignified and courteous manner, and
upon the lines becoming gentlemen
/ and Elks. Confident of the justice and
strength of our position, we have not
| felt called upon and have persisteutly
declined to indulge in the tactics of the
politician or the methods of those who
knowingly support unjust causes. Our
course has been sustained by the COM
mittee on the affairs and appeals, and
approved by nine-tenths of the lodges
! of the order. We, therefore, say to
you, for the last time, that any meet
/ ing of grand lodge members at James
town is Illegal and void; there can be
/ but one legal annual session of this
body, and such a one will convene at
Atlantic City, N. j., June 10, 1894. The
! session will open promptly at the hour
already indicated, and it's delibera tons
will continue until its work is COM
pleted, although no important business
will be transacted until Wednesday,
June 20. And we hereby warn all Of
(! f1cers and members of the grand lodge
to refrain from participating in any
so-called session at jamestown, or from
i expending or Incorporating its
funds. We are the governing and con-
trolling power of this corporation. and
will perform the duties devolving upon
US by the law of the order and laws of
the country to the very utmost letter
and this we will do without fear or
favor, having only in view the preser-
! walton and perpetuation of the Benevo-
lent and Protective Order Of EIks

CASE OF KISMINsKI.
A Letter From Acting Secretary Uhl
on the Matter.

Buffalo. N. Y, June IA letter from
Acting Secretary Uhl, of the state de-
partment, has been received by Attor-
ney Saperston, reporting the petition in
the Kisnlinsd case, which he lately
bore TO Washington in order to enlist
the aid of the United States govern
ment to release this Polish-American
citizen from the Siberian mines. Mr..
UhI finds, after examination of the case,
that Kisminsl5i was a native Pole who
came to the United States after hay
ing taken part in the unsuccessful revo-
luton of 1863. He says:
"There is no naturalization conven-
ton between the two countries and no
treaty limitation upon the power of
either government to proceed against
a foreign nation or subject returning to
It's territory prior to emigration with
out imperial consent. 1t is held by Rus
STA that emigration without imperial
consent is an offense liable to punish
ment upon the return of the offender
within Russian jurisdiction, whether
he has been naturalized in the mean
time in another country or not. The
extreme penalty of deportation to ST.

instance. unless it be the antecedents

Washington, June Ex-senator Har
ris said when the Senate adjourned
yesterday that the tariff bill would
pass the Senate by next Saturday, and
when Senator Aldrich, the leader of
the opposition to the bill, was asked
what he Thought of Mr. Harris predic-
ti6n, he expressed tine opinion THAT it
could not be entirely realized, but it
would come near it.
Il think" he said, 'tthat by next Sat-
urday night we shall be ON the flag end
of the BILL
Both declined to state whether there
had been any negotiations for an agree
ment as to the time for the final vote
between the leaders on the respective
sides of the chamber. 1t is known,
however. that the institution has been
canvaSsed more or less in the nunler-
Gus conferences which have taken place
between Senators Coclzrell, Harris and
Jones, ON THE Democratic side, and
Senators 'Aldrich and Allison on the
Republican side. 1t is also known THAT
they have not agreed on a time be-
cause of the difficulty on the part OF
the Republicans of determining what
thine might be required for speeches by
senators ON that side. They have,
however, canvassed the question SUI
ficiently to feel assured that there will
be comparatively few more long
speeches.
There are. however, some Republi-
can senator's who do not exactly agree
with the joint prediction of Senators
Harris and A3drich, and who say that
while they do not consider THAT the
time for the final passage of the bill
lis far distant, they think considerable
time will be required for THE cOia5lderd-
tion of the income tax and for the votes
ON various features of the bill, as well
as probab bly, some speeches, when the
bill shall be reported from the commit
tee of the whole, when it is considered
| it lis probable THAT the income tax can
be disposed of in less than three days
at the most. There is also a probability
that Senator Lodges amendment for
retaliating upon England will be re-
vived by the silver Republicans, which
would nave The effect of at-aeaSt brief

wool question will be revived when

the free list, and while the contest will
not be so prolonged as it was when the
subject was taken up on the wool
schedule, it promises to be quite ami
mated for a short time.
1t still seems strongly probable that

favored this course for the purpose OF

NICARAGUAN CANAL.
In Much Better Shape Than Was
Expected.


Bluefields, Nicaragua, via New Or
leans. June 1.-THE Associated Press
correspondent accompanied Commits
sioner Hastings, who was sent by the
government to Greytown to inspect the
Nicaragua canal property. The plant
and other property was found in much
better condition than expected Mr.
Hastings said that it was impossible to
state when the work would really begin
in earnest, but he hoped it would not
be long There is great deal of work
to be done before work on the canal
actually begins. The repairing, he was
confident, would be shortly started. as
all the dredges could be used again if
the work so much needed would be be-
gun in a short time. OF course the
dredges would need new hulls, but in
the meantime. with proper repairs. the
present ones, could be made to hold the
machinery. The 80 bulls would
have to be built in the United States
and then brought down here. and that
would take time. He had not found
the company's property in first class
order. but it was in better order than
what he had expected to find it, He
had an idea that everything had been
allowed to go to ruin, but in reality

GOING on SMOOTHLY.
President ,EcBride's Views as to the
Outlook.


Columbus, O., June President
John Mcbride, of the United Mine
Workers, said this evening in his opin-
ion the whole Hooking valley mining
region would resume work tomorrow
Sunday creek miners will not, and Jack
son miners may not
The Massillon miners will not resume
They struck last February for a fifteen
cent difTerential over the Hooking val
ley wages and will continue the fight.
Many Ohio districts will not resume to-
morrow that would have done so had
not President Adams called the state
convention.
AS to western Pennsylvania, he said
the mines would resume except five or
six. whose operators would not pay
the price fixed by the settlement.
In Indiana, the block coal miners,
composing third of the miners in the
stae, had accepted the settlement, but
whether they would go to work tonor-
row in the face of the fact the other
miners had rejected, he could not say.
Illinois will not go to work. he said.
L said to the operators the time the
settlement was made l did not believe
the eastern and northern Illinois min
ers who were to be bound by it would
go to work before two or three weeks
passed.
President Mcbride thinks they will
all go to work under the settlement
and hopes the resumption will not be
postponed longer than two weeks.
Outside of this competitive district :"
said Mcbride matters are going on
smoothly toward a settlement"

ANTI-oPTIoN BILL.
1t VIII Be Pressed to the Front in
the House.

Washington. June 1.-THE anti-op-
ton bill will be pressed to the front in
the House of Representatives and Mr..
Hatch. it's author, is confident he can
secure consideration for the measure
on Monday and a vote on it about
Wednesday He will yield tomorrow
to several minor measures, which may
be brought UP under suspension of the
rules. but will insist that anticipation
is to be the first discussion of any
length.
The deficiency appropriation bill,
which is the last of the appropria-
tons, will be reported from the commit
tee on Monday. 1t is said that it will
be taken up about Thursday, when the
anti-option bill is out Of the way.
Unusual interest attaches to the de-
f1ciency BILL owing to the position of
Representative Breckenridge, of Ken
lucky, as chairman of the deficiency
subcommittee. He was present at the
meetings of the committee during the
last week, and evinced an interest in
the bill and a desire to take charge of
it. 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 in
terested in the many southern wal
claims which have been punched AS
an omnibus claims bill, are seeking to
get a special rule giving them an ear
lily hearing. These claims have been
approved 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.
