FILIBUsTERING IN THE HOUSE.
The South Carolina Contested Election
Case Still Pending.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 29.-The
contested election case OF Johnston VS..
Stokes, from the Seventh District of South
Carolina, which had been under debate in
the House three days, reached vote this
afternoon, but was not finally disposed OF,
owing to the dilatory tactics of the advo-
cate of the contestants claim to the seat,
his right TO it being approved by majority
of the Committee on Elections No. 3,
which considered the case.
By vote of 105 to 80 the House refused
to substitute the resolutions reported by
the minority declaring Johnston elected
and entitled to the seat and Stokes not
elected and not entitled to the seat, for
those OF the majority to the direct con-
trary effect. On the resolution of the
majority declaring Johnston not elected
the vote was 103 ayes, 80 noes, and in
order to postpone further action until
there was q large attendance the friends
of Johnston resorted to filibustering
tactics and so exhausted the session.
The presentation of the conference re-
port on the naval appropriation bill by
Boutelle (R.) of Maine put an end to the
tilibustering, but it effected the same re-
sult-shelving the election case until next
week. The conference report was agreed
to, and a further conference ordered on
the items still in dispute.
President Cleveland's veto OF the river
and harbor bill was read and referred to
the Committee on Rivers and Harbors.
Herman (R.) of Oregon stating that ne
hoped the committee would make a report
thereon not later than Tuesday next.
BY that time ii is hoped to have in at
tendance a sufficient number of the friends
OF the measure to pass it over the veto.
The report Of the committee will probably
not be made until the managers of the bill
are satisfied that it can be passed.
at $50 o'clock under the rules the
House took recess until s o'clock.
AT the evening session few private
pension bills were considered and the
House adjourned until Monday.

Congressman to-day that under the call of

the first call at st. Louis. Senator Quay
will arise and announce that "Pennsyl-

is the course which Senator Quay is likely
to follow, and it is predicted that should
he do so it will result in stampede of the
remainder of the delegations for the Ohio
candidate. Meanwhile Quay will have
been placed in nomination, and he will
thus enjoy the distinction of being trotted
out as a Presidential candidate, as well as
leading the break to his principal COM
petitor.

John Mahoney, miner. shot through

Pjuries are not fatal.
Today hundreds of miners say they
will go to work at once. They bitterly
denounce the extremists and say their
action has lost the miners the strike.
The arrival of the militia is anxiously
awaited despite the apparent calm.
Local companies have been sent to the
hills and armed citizens are patroling
the streets. The city council today de-
cided to aid the state officers in appre-

THE TURK CLEARED FOR ACTION
Awaiting the Word to Slaughter All
Christians and BOmbard the For
eIgn Colony of Constanttnople.

LONDON, Sept 21.-The Berlin CORES
pondent of the Times quotes a Constan-
tinople dispatch to the Vossische-Zei-
tung from an unusually well-informed
correspondent, which is said to have
officials, and which says:
''Last Wednesday and Thursday,
everything was ready for general mas
sacre of Christians, and bombardment
of the foreign quarter of Constantinople,
should the European warships attempt
to pass the Dardanelles. There were 48
guns placed in position on the heights
above Para, and the Turkish feeG in the
harbor was cleared for action. The
street patrols were cleared for action.
The street patrols were composed ex-
clusively of palace troops, while the
Sopatchis and Kurdish cavalry, although
apparently unarmed, loitered in the
streets, awaiting the word of command" :"
The Times has a dispatch from Sebas-
topol, which declares that portion of
the Russian Black sea fleet, consisting
of four ironclads, three gunboats and
several torpedo-boat is cruising off
Otchicoakoff, at the mouth of the Dneip-
er, under orders. On receipt of tele-
gram from the Russian ambassador at
Constantinople, they will join the ad-
miral, leaving Sebastopol with the re-
mainder, of the feet, and go direct to the
Bosphorus. The whole fleet has been
placed on war footing, and has en-
barked three battalions of infantry and
troops. The south of Russia has also
been placed on war footing.

Bad 1nvestment Made by an Oaklan'
Woman.

Woman. !.
OAKLAND, CAL, Sept. 21.-The very
natural desire of John Patton to be made
comfortable for the remainder of his
days and the hope of Mrs. A. F. Steele
to increase her worldly store, already
ample, have furnished sensation which
has to do with the peace and quiet of a
lady well-known and highly respected in
society's most exclusive circles.
Patton, who is an old soldier, said he
had located mining claim near Grants
Pass, Or, but had no money with which
to work it. His story interested the
woman of wealth to such an extent that
she had the claim prospected and agreed
to support the old man for the rest oil
his life. The mine did not pan out tc
the lady's expectations and now she is
trying to rid herself of her pensioner
But the old man holds an agreement in
writing, and he refuses to abandon the
lead which he has struck late IN life
and which has thus far yielded more pay
dirt than anything he ever tumbled on
to in the olden, if not golden days of his
prospecting.
Mrs. Steele has invoked the aid of the
police to rid her of the drain on hel
purse, but the officers of the law are
powerless to interfere, and the lady goes
paying Patton his pension, viewing with
alarm his reiuvenating health. When
she first saw him he was wellnigt
starved, and his days on earth seemed
numbered. He has improved greatly
with the aid of her donations anc
threatens to live long enough to make {
sad rent in her fortune.
