LONDON, July 29.-The international so
,ialist and trades union congress resumed
It's session Tuesday at St Martins town
hall, with Herr Singer, the wellknown
German socialist and member Of the
reichstag, presiding The credentials Of
all the delegates who presented them
selves for admission were closely scrutin-
tied at the door, and several were rejected
and the bearers denied admittance The
English section, which controlled the pre-
liminary business, declined by 223 to ioi
to exclude anarchists This action no
sooner became known to the anarchists
outside than they became furious with
rage, and, after fiery remarks from their
leaders, they made combined rush for
the doors of the hall, overturned the door
keeper, and poured into the galleries in
spite of all opposition.
Storm of DisapprovaI.
This caused repetition of the exciting
and stormy scene of Monday tom Mann
and James kier Hardie, the English labor
leaders, spoke in favor of at least admit
ting Herr Hyndman. Their remarks
were wildly applauded by the anarchists
Other English labor leaders made speeches
against admitting the anarchists This
brought forth storm of disapproval from
the latter, during which u few blows and
many angry words were exchanged among
the foreigners, who could hardly be pre-
vented by the more peaceful men from en-
gaging in general free fight. Eventual
ly orders were given to put out the dis
turbers of the peace, and when some show
of so doing was made something like or
der was once more restored and the debate
was resumed.
Voted Against Anarchists.
After further speeches for and against
the admission of anarchists IL was agreed
that properly accredited anarchists, In
Guiding Louise Michel should be per
mitted to be present at the debate. After
several hours of additional discussion the
congress, voting by nationalities, upheld
the Zurich resolution by 1871 to 215, the
effect of which is To exclude anarchists
from the congress- During the voting
there was another scene of the greatest
excitement Fierce shouting and yelling,
mingled with scufilng and threatening,
prevailed among the foreigners and proba'
bly, served as much as anything else TO
harden the hearts of the Englishnen
against admitting the anarchist element
to the deliberations Of the international
socialist and trade union congress.

There has been some uiscusslon as to the selection of an electoral ticket and it has been suggested that the committee name the two delegates at large and refer the eiectlon or the remaining delegates to the nine congressional districts. No spe- enc plans. however, have been formally agreed upon and it is not known what acton the committee may take.
 The committee will meet in the Opera House hotel p,"

Gen try, lowered the colors of Robert J., Frank Agan and Star Pointer, winning the most remarkable harness race on record and pacing three heats in 2:03A 2:03A and 2:03A, the fastest time ever known for three consecutive miles. The absence of Joe Patchen from the contest detracted somewhat from public interest in the race. The competing horses were the fastest of their kind in the world and all were at their best.
 Robert J. was a red hot favorite in the betting before the start, to 10 being the best odds obtainaible, while John R. Gen. try was 4 to 1.

CHANG AND THE REPORTERS.
The Question Which Cut Short @ Very
 PromisHg Interview.


 New York, Sept 2.-By previous ar engagement Lii Hung Chang this morning received limited number of representa- tives of the press in his apartments at the Waldorf. The newspaper men were pre- sented to the vlceroy by MT. Edward Drew. The viceroys medical adviser, Dr. Mark, acted as interpreter.
 Among the questions asked Ii was this: Was the route of your return home through Canada decided upon be- cause of any antagonism that might as- sert itself among the people of the Pacific coast states?"
 The viceroy called for his official inter- preter, Lo Flung Lu, to whom he made the following reply:
 ''The choice of the Canadian route was determined for two reasons. First while I was high commissioner of the northern portion of China I received many complaints from our Chinese sub jects in this country, that they were not in possession of the rights to which they were entitled here, and invoked my as- sistance to secure for them their full rights, and I did not care to go through the states where the people had been most instrumental in bringing about these restricting laws. Second, while am good sailor I am an old man, and I have been informed that the steamers sailing from Vancouver are much more comfortable than those leaving San Francisco
 The question that brought the recep- tion to an end was: " Has your visit to this country any political significance?
 The viceroy made no attempt at di- plomacy in evading an answer to this question. He simply declared that he had no more time to devote to the news paper men, and the interview was closed. Late in the day the viceroy was receiv- ed at the city hall by Mayor Strong, and afterward he took a drive through Brook lyn, visiting the plaza at Prospect park, the city hall, the navy yard and the Union League club house.

Burglars Again Fail to Crack the Southern's
 Safe at Lincoln.
 Lincoln, Sept. 2.-(Special Correspond ence)-When the agent of the Southern railway at this place went to his office yesterday morning he found that some inexperienced burglar had made an ex- tended call during the night. A glimpse at the surroundings showed that the blacksmith shop of I. J. Reeves had part ed company with many of it's tools, and these tools had been forced to do work on the fire-proof safe of the Southern railway. Powder had not been neglect ed. The agent received instructions to lock the room. and let everything remain as he found it. So your correspondent cannot give you the amount the burglar received for his work.
 Some five or six weeks since the same office was entered at night and deprived of $1O in cash The company is doubtless tired of such work. and will put forth proper efforts to capture the guilty party.
