AGAINST OLNEY.
The Knights of Labor Wish Him to be
Impeached.
Petition Has Been Presented to the
House Stating at Length the Crimes
With Which they Charge Him.

Petition Has Been Presented to the
House Stating at Length the Crimes
With Which they Charge Him.
Washington, July 30.-The first of the two
proposed petitions for the impeachment of
Attorney General Olney fol his part in the
late strike troubles, VIII ich the officers of
the Knights of Labor came to Washington
to prepare and circulate. were laid before
the House today by Mr.. Lucas. The
Dakota. They ask for the impeachment of
the Attorney General for high crimes and
misdemeanors.
The memorialists represent that Attorney
General Olney has rendered military power
of the general government within the State
Of Illinois and other states superior to the
civil power of each and all states, that he
advised and caused the Secretary of War to
introduce troops into the states in violation
of the Constitution, no application for them
having been made by the legislatures or
governors of the states. but in fact against
the earnest protests of certain governors,
that he has caused divers suits to be
brought in Illinois, and in other states. and
to enforce them in violation of the laws
Cdu5ou processes TO D6 lSSueu unknown TO
the courts of the United States, and by the
use of armed deputies, has caused the arrest
and Imprisonment of citizens without due
course of law and in violation of the consti-
tuition. They also charge he has disregarded
the sentiment of the people of the United
States. expressed through an act of Con-
gress of 1883, creating boards of arbitration
to settle differences between common
carriers and employees by encouraging and
assisting the Pullman Palace Car company
in its refusal to adjust the differences with
its employees by arbitration. They claim no
adequate or sufficient excuse exists for the
commission of the high crimes mentioned,
which if left unpublished and unrebuked,
would prove deadly blow to the rights of
the states and liberties of their citizens.
As citizens of the United States they pray
the House to present Attorney General
Olney at the bar of the Senate for impeach-
ment by that body for the misuse of his
official position. The petitions were dropped
into the slot of the petition box and in or
binary course of official routine will
probably be referred to the committee on

Shanghai, July 30.-It is unders TODD
that China will not formally declare war
until the vessels and ammunition which
she has ordered abroad shall have been
got safely into Ch1nse ports. The trans
ports Nee Foo and Toonan, which the
Chinese feared had been captured. have
arrived at Chez Foo. !.
Sixty torpedoes were sent up the Kian-
Gym channel of the Yang-tse-K -Kiang.
The forty-one survivors of the Kow
Shung disaster who were picked up and
landed a Chee-Foo by the French
gunboat Lion, tell story differing in
few details from the previous accounts
of he Kow Shung's end. When the
Japanese began the attack, they say the
Kow Shung bore away for safety. The
Japanese warship drove her into bay
SO shallow that the Chinese captain hove
too rather.than run the risk of running
aground. Several Japanese officers then
came aboard to say that they had orders
to sink the ship, and to offer to take off
the Chinese officers and crew. The
Chinese captain declined the offer. The
Japanese repeated it, but the captain
persisted in his refusal even to consider
1t. The Japanese then left the ship,
which went down few minutes after
being struck with torpedo. The
survivors, who are almost exclusively
coolies, confirm the report that not an
officer was saved.

CAUSES HOSTILE COMMENT
Mr.: Springer's Caucus is Not Acceptable
to the House.

to the House,
Washington, July 30.-Mr. Springer's
action in circulating a petition among the
House members for a caucus of Democrats
to be held Tuesday afternoon to consider
what steps shall be taken in regard to the
. tariff situation, is provoking good deal of
hostile comment weakening Chairman
Wilson'S position. 1t was said this morning
that Mr.. Springer had failed to secure
sufficient signatures to the petition to make
1T effective and that consequently he would
withdraw. The call is construed as move
to secure instruction to the conferees to ac-
cept the Senate amenments on iron, coal
and sugar. Should Springer succeed in OBJ
tanning sufficient names to require the call
ing of a caucus, it would be an indication
that majority of the Democrats in the
House were not in favor of standing by the
committee of ways and means to the last,
as it was at one time proclaimed they
would.
The Democratic eonferees of the Senate
and House were in session this n orning to
adjust existing difficulties. They met the
Republican conferees of both Houses at II
O'Clock.
When the Democratic conferees adjourned
pending the arrival of their Republican
colleagues at / o'clock they were as far
apart as ever on the main items over which
the deadlock between the two Houses re-
suited. The whole situation was considered
in very frank manner and there appeared
to be no resentment over the debate in the
Senate lastsweek. Neither side was willing
to give in on the three items of coal, for
more and sugar and absolutely nothing was
accomplished.
1t is said that the proposition to call
caucus of the House members grew out of
the feeling that the Senate bill should be
accepted without Intervention of conferees
rather than have the passage OF the bill de-
feated altogether.
At two this.afternoon, Mr.. Springer. after
consultation with MI. McCreary of Kentucky
and other Democrats, decided to postpone
the call for the caucus till Thursday after
noon.
