facurers that the election of Mckinley
wiz be foIowet by a reduction in wages.

o.eyer of labor IN ,he United States, so

bond issues next Tuesday.
Senator Turpie's Sarcasm.
When Mr.. Turpie was recognized in
support of the joint resolution Of Mr..
Call, for the sending of United States
feet to Cuban waters to protect Amer
leans and to prevent Spanish barbara
ties, he said: This resolution was full
of meaning. considering the remark
able change of front of the chairman
of the committee on foreign relations
(Sherman) and the senator from Massa-
chusetts (Lodge) in their conduct of
the Cuban campaign. This resolution
proposed to send United States naval
force to Cuba During the Chilian
trouble our feet was sent to Chill, and
exercised most salutary influence. And
now, on the same errand, and with the
same purpose, United States fleet
should proceed to Havana. The reso-
luton was the natural outgrowth of the
Inertia, Iuaction and obstr uction
of the chairman of the committee on
foreign relations (Sherman), since he
took refuge in the crypt of a confer
ence committee. Mr.. Turpie severely
criticised Mr.. Sherman's abnormal
proceedings" in handling the Cuban
resolutions. Mr.. Turpie then pro-
ceeded to describe the condition of
Cuba today. Two-thirds of the island
was within the embrace Of the revolu-
ton, the other third was debatable
ground, where skirmishes and fighting
were going on. This, he said, had not
even been touched upon by Mr.. Sher-
man, although vital consideration.
The senator, said Mr.. Turpie, has ap-
peared as afraid as General Weyler to
look into the question, to go over the
territory. He has not even looked over
the fence.
Mr.. Turpie created great amusement
in concluding by a word picture of Mr..
Lodge as warrior about to have duel
with the Spanish minister.

POSTAL BILL PASSED
Appropriation Granted by the
Senate After a Week
of Debate.
Amendment to Consolidate
Smaller Offices Badly
Defeated.
Pacific Cable Discussed by the
House Committee With
out Action.

WASHINGTON, April s.-The post
office appropriation bill, which has
been before the senate for almost a
week, was passed by that body just
previous to adjournment. The entire
day, with the exception of few min.
utes at the beginning of the session,
was devoted to debate and voting upon
the amendments proposed to the bill,
the Wolcott amendment for the con-
solidation of smaller Offices with larger
ones receiving the greater share of at.
tention. The discussion on this propo-
sition again took the form of a debate
upon the merits of civil service reform
and was participated in by Messrs.
Villas, Wolcott, Allen, Hill, Power,
German. Stewart and others. There
were some rather spirited dialogues be-
tween Messrs. Villas and Allen and be-
tween Messrs Wolcott and Hill Mr..
Wolcott criticised Secretary Smith for
his participation in the Georgia CAM
paign and was replied to by Mr.. Hill.
The amendment was defeated by de-
cisive vote, receiving only seven votes
in its support.

A. p. A. Candidate Elected at
Kansas City-The Result
Elsewhere.

CHICAGO, April 8.-Out OF 35 alder
men the Republicans have elected 20,
the Democrats l3, and two Indepen-
dents were chosen. The prin cipal fea-
ture of the election was the effort OF
the reform element to down number
Of the gang aldermen. The reformers
were successful with majority OF the
men they were after, but they failed to
secure the three or four bright particu-
lar stars they desired. Party lines
were not drawn in a number OF the
wards and the reform movement had
much weight.
The fight on the town officers was in
all Of the towns straight party issue.
and che Republicans were uniformly
successful, carrying all the town offices
by majorities ranging from 1000 to
1000.
Lively in Two Wards.
Full returns from the First and
Nineteenth wards, in which most OF
the fighting occurred, show that &c &c
men were laid out in one way or an
other during the day. The great ma
jority of these were not injured badly
and none of them fatally. The man
hurt the worst was Joseph Grigan,
who was shot in the ankle. James
Dawson had his skull fractured with q
crutch. Olaf Henson's nose was
smashed fiat with a paving stone ane
John Wilson's ear was torn off by an
other missile Of the same kind. There
was no fighting outside these two
wards.
Returns from 1876 towns throughout
the state show Republican victories in
about four-fifths of them. In none of
the elections was the vote on a straight
political issue.

Government Lien on the Property Is to
Be Made Ironclai.
WASHINGTON, April 8.-The Pacific
cable bill was the subject of discussion
by the house committee. The commit
tee tried to frame an amendment which
would insure to the government first
lien on the property. There was unan-
unity of sentiment that the bill should
be drawn to make the governments lien
absolutely ironclad, but no satisfactory
wording of the bill was drawn. Sew
eral amendments were made, the most
important one reducing the amount of
the annual subsidy for 90 years from
$3.50, 900, the company's proposition, to
$l3O, 200. Another amendment to in
sure the completion of the cable to China
was adopted.

LONDON, April S.-The Times has q
Madrid dispatch which says: The
Cuban resolutions of the United States
congress have been received here with
marked calmness and almost indiffer-
ence, strongly contrasting with the
popular excitement which followed the
passage of the previous resolution.
This can be accounted for in two ways;
firstly, the result of the voting was
anticipated, and secondly, there is a
strong impression that President Cleve-
land will take no immediate action"

ITALIAN LOSS HEAVY.
The First Reports Were Much Below
the Proper Mark.

tHe FTUpeT Mark.
MAssowAH, April 9.-Late advices
from the front show that the losses of
the Italians which followed the attack
made upon the native battalion at
Mount Mocran, on April 2, were much
more severe than at first reported. The
first advices stated that 5000 dervishes
attacked the Italian forces at the place
mentioned and that the Italians lost
100 killed and wounded and the der.
wishes suffered heavily. Now, how
ever, it is stated that the loss of the
Italians was 10 officers and 300 men.
1t is presumed that this means the
number of killed, as no reference is
made to the number of Italians
wounded.
