The sugar schedule of the 'uia bil
was disposed of by the Senate ycster-
day evening. All efforts to form COM
binations against it, all criticism which
has been directed at it, had little or 10
effect. The democrats stood solilly by
the compromise amendments with the
single exception of Senator Hill, and
adopted them with but slight trouble.
Three of the republicans, Senator'S
Quay, Henderson and Perkins, declar-
in favor of the pending schedule as op-
posed to free sugar, while Senators
Allen and Kyle voted also with the
democrats.
As adopted the schedule imposes 4
duty of 40 per cent. ad valorcm on all
sugars, raw or refined, with diileren
tial duty Of one-eighth of n cent per
pound on sugars above IL Dutch
standard, and an additional one-tenth
of q cent against sugars imported from
coun ries paying m export bounty. 1t
continues the Hawaiian treaty admitting
sugars from the Sandwich Islands free
of duty. and places duty Of two cents
rer gallon on molasses testing above
40 degrees by the polariscope. The
schedule goes into effect january, 1850
aud the bounty is continued until that
date.
1t is believed by democratic Senators
that the vote demonstrates so forciby
the uselessness of further resistance by
the republicans that the remaining sec
tions of the tariff bill, with the possible
exception of the wool schedule, will be
passed over with but little discussion.

The Strikers.

At the meeting of the general execu-
tive board of the United Mine Workers
held in Columbus, O., last night, reso-
lutions were adopted calling joint con
ferences of the miners and operators in
the various districts on Saturday.
A dispatch from Cripple Greek, COL,
says State Organizer Mcintosh, of the
Western Federation of Miners, says
the miners have accepted the settle
ment arranged by Governor Waite and
Messrs. Hagerman and Moflatt in good
faith and are ready for peace.
Non-union workmen who had taken
the places Of strikers in the National
Tube Works, at McKeesport Pa, were
attacked by strikers yesterday and ter
ribly beaten, several being badly in
jured. The mob took possession of the
works, which were badly damaged, and
held them last night in defiance of the
police.
As stated yesterday the Maryland
State troops were ordered to the coal
region at the request of the sheriff and
States attorney of Allegheny county.
The fourth and fifth regiments of infan-
try, quartered in the city of Baltimore,
were ordered to hold themselves in
readiness to 90 to Allegheny county,
and in the afternoon were dispatched on
special trains to the scene of trouble.
The troops reached Cumberland early
this morning. At the Eckhart mine of
the Consolidation Company, near Frost
burg, a disturbance was caused by
strikers invading the property. Sew
eral arrests were made by the sheriff
and deputies. Last night all the Eek
hart miners resolved to Join the strike,
and in the region where usually 5000
miners are employed it was stated only
about $50 men were at work.
The stables of the New Central
Coal Company at Homecoming, Nd,
were burned by incendiaries yesterday.
No one was killed in the attack of
the strikers on the miners at Powell
ton, w. Va. but one man was so badly
wounded that he is expected to die.
Three of the men engaged in the attack
have been arrested. An unsuccessful
attempt was made to blow up coal

4 Bic Claim.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 6.-The claim
for SO, 900, 900 fled against the Stanford
estate by Attorney General Olney as a
preliminary step to enforce the govern
ment's claim against the original hold
ers of the Central Pacific grant, has
awakened much interest here. The
late Senator Stanford's estate was re-
Gently appraised at S17,60o,000 Since
the appraisement heavy obligations
have been met, and it is stated now
that the enforcement of the govern
ment claim would practically wipe ort
the estate, not only leaving the widow
penniless, but cutting off all the bene-
liciaries under the late Senator's will,
including the endowment of s.. 100000
to the Stanford University.
Mrs. Stanford in an interview has
stated that the governments claim will
be resisted to the fullest extent Of her
ability.

A Sad Scene.

There was q dramatic and pathetic
scene enacted in Circuit Court No. 3,
Baltimore, yesterday, before Judge
Wickes, when Mrs Fannie H. J. Airey
was brought in under an attachment for
contempt accompanied by her three
small children. Some time ago Frank
P. Airey filed bill against his wife,
asking for All absolute divorce, saying
that she was living On Kenset street,
Clifton, and had the children with her.
The husband asked that they be placed
in asylums, as he did not think the
home in which they were was a fit place
for them. 1t was also alleged that they
had been put on the streets by the
mother to beg.
Mr.. Charles j. Bonaparte, counsel Tor
the society for the protection of child
rem from vice and immortality, sent Cap
tain George w. Parker, the agent Of the
society, to investigate the matter. As
a result, pending the litigation over the
divorce case, the three children were
taken from the mother, under order OF
the court, and the girls, Fannie and
Alice, aged, respectively, five and
eight years, were sent to the Home of
the Friendicss, and the boy, who is
thirteen years of age, was sent TO the
Boys Home. All of the little ones ran
away and returned to their mother.
Yesterday morning the woman and
the children were found by Deputy
Sheriff Garrett in their humble, but tidy
little home on Lennon street. They
were at once brought into court, the
children, as we'll as their mother, being
neatly dressed. The little ones clung
to her. and she held the smallest child
in her arms. Judge Wickes reprimand-
I'd Mrs. Airy for not returning the
children to the institutions, but she dis
claimed any intention of contempt of
court. The woman pleaded with the
Judge not to separate her from her
children, told him that all the charges
against her were false, that she worked
hard to support the children, that the
boy worked, and that between the two
they managed to get along. Judge
Wickes told her that he would have to
s. parate her from the children for
time, rs he must Send them Dach 10 lne
institutions from which they had es-
capped, until inquiry could be made as
to her mode of life.
Then occurred one of the most affect
ing scenes ever beheld in the court
room. The little five yearold scream
ed cut: sob Judge, please don't take
me from my mamma; oh, mamma,
mamma y
The other children also broke into
passionate fits of weeping, and there
were a lot of lawyers and spectators in
the courtroom who turned away to hide
the suspicious moisture in their eyes.
Judge Wickes and Agent Parker were
visbly affected, and at Mr.. Parker's
suggestion the mother was permitted
to retain the children temporarily until
further inquiry could be made into the
case.-Baitim0re 1merican.

The Oregon Election.

PORTLAND, Oregon, June 6.-The re-
publicans have made clean sweep of
the State ticket. The total vote may
run as high as eighty thousand. The
election of Lord for governor may be
ascribed to the fact that the democrats
refused to fuse with the populists. Had
they united on one candidate the cleo
ton might have resulted differently.
The returns indicate IL sufficient ma
jority in the legislature to insure the
reelection of Senator Dolph. Hermann
and Ellis are reelected to Congress by
handsome majorities.

As ANTICIPATED in the GAZETTE's
Washington correspondence, Repre-
sentative Epes of the Petersburg dis
trict will not BEL candidate for renom-
ination. Mr. Epes has been a compe-
tent and efficient representative, has
done all for his constituents that any
other man could have done, and. is
doubtless as popular as any other mem
Der of his party in his district. He is
also perfectly familiar with the public
feeling of the people in that district,
and the fact that ne has declined a re-
nomination, though his private bust
ness is not suffering, will not generally
be considered as at all Indicative of the
election of q democratic successor.

FAMILY AFFECTION is one of the few
things that are both natural and com
mendable, but its conspicuous mani
festation in public is certainly bad form,
and not unnaturally suggests the idea
of an attempt at effect, and of
mock sentiment. President Garfield
kissed his mother Immediately
after his Inauguration, with the
eyes of the immense crowd upon
him, and at the last public band play
ing in the White House lot, President
Cleveland leaned over aud kissed his
baby in full view of all the spectators.
The privacy of home should be the
condition for manifestations of family
love, not the glare and glitter of public
parades.

4 Terrible Death,

Hattie Robey, the siXteen-year-old
daughter of Mrs. Louise Robey, was

Miss Robey lived at 600 G street,
which is but a few doors from the
tracks, with her mother, who is

night to meet two or three friends, who
were waiting for her on the opposite
corner of C street. As she started TO
cross Sixth street, and before she had
crossed the first track, Pennsylvania
train rushed by on the farther track,
going toward the depot. Just as the
last coach was passing, she stepped
forward. a Richmond and Danylie
engine was backing down at a good
rate of speed on the west track. She
saw it and turned to get out of harm

Mrs. Moskovits is the woman whose

As MANY Of the faculty of the Uni

ly were, republicans, and as commit
tee of them a month ago recommended
the admission of young women into
that institution on equal terms with

that Mr.. Depew. of New York,
who canvassed his State for Lin
coin and Hamlin, and has since been
president of the ultra republican
Union League Club, should have been
selected for orator at the coming COM
mencement there. All the students at
the University are from the South. Is
there no Southern man qualified ID
deliver the address for which MIR. De
pew has been called? If the University
people don't think there is, certainly
Northern people can't be expected to
think otherwise. All is not we'll with
the South. Things have gone awry
here sadly. And the worst of it is, the
prospect of an early change for the bet
ter is not favorable.

THE CHIEF subject to be considered
at the Grand Camp of the Confederate
Veterans of Virginia that assembled
here to-day will it is understood, be
propositions for the preparation and
adoption of new and true history OF
the country, that shall be used as
text book in the schools of the South,
so that the children of this section may
not be taught that their few surviving
fathers were traitors and reoeis,
who. instead Of being hanged, were per-
mitted to live and be taxed for the sup
mort of their many victors. The histo-
rian Dionvsius confessed that he did
not write for truth, but to crafty the
feelings of his readers, and most of his
profession in the northern half of this
country seem to have been inspired by
the same motive, supplemented, how
ever, by inexcusable Ignorance CT
prejudice born OF malice. If a true and
uuvarnished history OF the country be
really desired, no new one need be
written, nor old one revised or altered,
for there is already one at hand, print
ed and in the bookstores, Greg's, which,
certainly so farat least as relates TO the
war between the States, is entirely I'M
preiudiced. as its author was q foreigner.
