the national airs n an overture and

whereupon the singers rose and sang
the hymn.
One OF the elergymen OF the place
then invoked the divine blessing, and
the general was properly announced as
the orator OF the occasion In fulsome
speech by the teller Of the bank. The
GRAFTON was very long and very dry.
and the patience Of the young men and
maidens Of the high school was sorely
tried by the infiiction. 1t was quarter
past four when 1t was finished. and a
volley OF signs went up from the sing
ers' seats when the end came. Nothing
could hurry the general in his dis
course. not even the fearfully black
and threatening clouds that were pill
ing themselves up in the west. and he
could omit no portion OF his account
of his ancestry from whom the name
OF the town was derived.
AS he finished. sharp flashes Of light
ming blinded the eyes of -he audience
and deafening peals Of thunder nearly
stunned them. Mr.. Banker fastened
the proceedings. and the flag was run
up by his own hands with a salvo OF
artillery. At the same time Phil hoisted
half way up the staff something like
the topsail OF ship on which appeared

result of the failure OF the Joint wage

and between 5000 and $1,000 men are

men and those depending on them.
President Garland returned from
Youngstown last night.
When seen to-day, he said he was not
discouraged at the outlook, but looked
for a settlement after the annual re-
pairs at the mills have been completed.
This morning the employees OF Jones q
Laughlins met and discussed the pro-
posed 20 per cent reduction In wages,
which II Is said is contemplated. II Is
said that this meeting reported untaV-
orably upon the proposition.
The general suspension or work 90
day, following the disagreement OF the
Joint conference committee at Youngs-
town yesterday cannot be regarded as
either strike or lockout.
In the meantime the conference COM
mittee will meet and endeavor to settle
the differences. II the committee finds
that an agreement Is impossible, the
strike can then be considered as on In
earnest.
The conference on the tin plate wage
scale will be resumed tomorrow by the
committees OF the manufacturers and
the Amalgnmated Association. All the
tin plate plants In the country with the
exception OF the four non-union con-
Germs, are idle, and uumber OF man
ufacturers are anxious to get TO work.
The workers insist that they will make
no concessions, while the manufactur-
ers are willing to grant at least 10 per
cent OF an advance over the present
rates.
Three more signatures to the Amalga-
mated scale were received to-dny. They
were Muncle Iron & Steel Company.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-Mr. Settle
Dem., Ky) after the journal OF the
house had been read. raised a question
as 10 the truth OF the journal OF last
Mondays proceedings by Offering q
technical amendment to correct the
journal. Upon this amendment he got
the floor and proceeded with an extend-
ed speech on the general question OF the
power of the house TO adjourn over
three days at n time, which he declared
was q direct violation OF the constitu-
tlon. He drlfted into a general ar.
raignment of the Republicans ior h0t
taking action on the bankruptcy piil
and the Cuban belligerency., :,
''You have acted In utter delance OF
publlc sentiment" he cried. you ask

things. Calhoun went TO Cuba; Cali
houn returned from Cuba; Calhoun
went home. Nothing was done. cal
houn has been forgotten and so mas
Cuba. There is indifference as 70
whether civil government or state
OF war exists in Cuba.
When Mr.. Settle referred to the mu-
nIcipal elections at Chicago, Clncin-
natl, Columbus and Canton" as an IN
dlcatIon OF public disapprovnl OF the
houses inaction and a forerunner OF
that November day In 1900 which would
prove the Armageddon and the water
loo OF the Republican party. the speak
er again raped him TO order ana MI.
DIngiey and Mr. Bailey crossed swords
over the question as to whether MT set
ties remarks were In order.
Mr.. Dlngley contended that tne Ken
tucklan's remarks were wide OIL the mo
tlon and Mr. Bailey that 1t was always a,
proper to speak OF public opinion. We
have always had respect for public
opinion" said the latter, "and We thlnK

instruction and guidance (Demo-
cratic applause)
"But what Is the connection OF Ar
mageddon and a motion 10 amend the
journal?" drolly asked Speaker Reed
whereat the Republicans laughed
In conclusion Mr. Settle reused Dem
ocratlc enthusiasm by asserting thai
his side proposed to hold up the hands
OF "the lion hearted Democrat OF Ne
braska, until his banner was planted on
the topmost heights OF victory
The minority demanded the yeas and

thought to be fluX Monday afternoon.
That night the infant died. Tuesday

died. This morning the mother died.

died. Two little girls nre all that is left
