PITTSBURG, Pa, July 25.-Sixty dep
uty sheriffs have been ordered out and
are now midnighD at the union depot
awaiting orders to move. An attempt
was made to keep their destination a
profound secret, but it Is learned they
are to be sent to the mines of the New
York & Cleveland Gas Coal company
in anticipation of any raid that may
be made. But, as the strikers officials
declare that the contemplated march
has been abandoned, no conflict is eX-
pected. The request for deputies, it is
said, came from Mr.. Dearmitt, who re-
ceived word from scout that O. large
pody or men were marching towards
the mines, coming from the direction Of
Mckeesport and the Youghiogheny dis
trict. Nothing more definite than the
above is known here.
Another march on Canonsburg was
begun tonight. A big meeting Of the
miners was held at Reissing at 8 o'clock
this afternoon. They were informed
that the Allison mine intended to re-
sumo work this morning, and in a very
short time it was decided to make an

day.
Congress did not devote it's attention
entirely to the tariff, though it did
subordinate everything else to tbis
one measure. The four appropriation
bllls, which failed on March 4 last in
themselves would have compelled Pres
1dent Mckinley to call congress in ex-
ira session, even if the necessity for a
revision OF the tariff had not existed.

he must prepare description and plan

port to congress at its next session.
In the Indian bill, after a severe
struggle in both houses, the question
Of sectarian schools was settled by the
following declaration Of the policy of
the government: '"That the secretary
of the interior may make contracts
with contract schools apportioning as
near as may be the amount so con-
tracted for among schools of various
denominations for the education of In
dian pupils during the fiscal year 1898,
but shall only make such contracts at
places where non-sectarian schools
cannot be provided for such Indian
children and to an amount not exceed
ing 40 per centum of the amount used
for the fiscal year 1885,
The question of opening to entry the
rich gilsonite deposits in the Uncom-
pahgre reservation in Utah was also
compromised by opening such agri-
cultural lands as have not been al
lotted to the Uncpnpahgre Indians on
April l, 1898, to entry, but reserving to
the United States title in the lands
containing gilsonite, asphalt or other
like substance.
In the sundry cfyils bill the most i'm
portant new provision was that sus-
pending the order of President Cleve-
and, setting aside about 21,OO0, 600
acres as forest reservations. The law
also includes a general scheme of leg
islation for the government and pro-
lection of the forest reservations OF
the country.
The Republican leaders of the house
decided at the opening of the session
to pursue policy of inaction in order
to throw the responsibility for delaying
the tariff bill upon the senate, and,

think great credit should be given to
the members of the committee on

Allison. who had charge of the bill
after the illness of Senator Aldrich Of

has been done will result in improved
business conditions, and I am sure
that it is simply question of time
when prosperity will again dawn
upon us. Our people have. wonderful
recuperative powers, and they will
manifest their strength now that there
is a possibility of confidence.

benefit therefrom. Testimony was
taken before a military court and sub
mitted to the drill association, who dis
allowed the protest a few minutes be-
fore the award was made. AS a result
of this drill the famous Galveston inter-
state championship cup passes into the
possession Of the Governors Guard.
This cup has been in the possession OF
the Thurston Rifles since the Memphis
drill in 1895, but has been claimed by
the Morton Cadets since the Savannah

of the cup and had their name inscribed

Sends Thanks to Those Who Remean
bered Her Jubilee

NEW YORK, July 25.-Through
the British consulate here, Queen Vic
toria has sent her thanks to all her
subjects in this country who contribut-
ed to her jubilee. Jubilee services
were held in the church of St. John
the Evangelist, in this city, and the
rector, Rev. DR.. De Costa, has received
the following letter:
New York, July 25.-Dear Sir: have the
honor to inform you that I have today re-
eGeived dispatch from the Marquis of Sails
bury in which his lordship states, that ne
has been commanded to express the queens
qualification at the manifestation of respect
and attachment displayed towards her maies-
ty on the occasion of the special commemora-
tive service held in New York on June 20
last, to celebrate the siXtieth anniversary Of
her majesty's accession to the throne.
As l am given to understand that the spe-
cial services at St Johns church on the day
in question were conceived and carried out by
youself, it gives me much pleasure TO convey
to you her majestys gracious message, and
at the same time I would ask you to impart
the same to all those whose participation in
the services contributed to make them so
great success. A. Percy Bennett,

nounced until the close Of the session
and only urgent matters were consid-
cred. Fifty thousand dollars were ap-
prOpriated for the relief Of American
citizens in Cuba, at the solicitation Of
the president; 100000 was appropriated
for the relief Of the Mississippi flood
sufferers; a resolution was passed au-
thorizing the secretary of the navy
to transport supplies contributed for
the relief of the poor and famishing
in India, and $4,000 were appropriated
for the entertainment and expenses Of
the delegates to the universal postal
convention, who met in this city. The
only extensive piece of general legisla-
tion enacted by this congress except
the tariff bill were the laws to prevent
collisions at sea and to place in force
regulations to prevent collisions upon
certain harbors, rivers and inland
waters of the United States; and the
bill authorizing the president to sus
pend discriminating duties on foreign
vessels and commerce.
The senate not being confined as to
the scope of its legislation dealt with
number of important subjects both
in and out of executive session. One
of these, which attracted worldwide
attention, was the general arbitration
treaty negotiated by President Cleve-
land with Great Britain. After eX-
haustive consideration, despite the
great pressure brought to bear upon
the senate by religious and commercial
bodies throughout the country, the SEN
ate rejected the treaty.
The Hawaiian treaty of annexation,
negotiated by President Mckinley, was
still unacted upon when congress ad-
journed.
In open session after much debate
the senate passed the Cuban belliger-
ency resolution, a bankruptcy bill, in
Guiding both voluntary and involuntary
features, and the free homes bill.
But none Of these important questions
received consideration in the house.

Resume of the Work Done.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The extra
ordinary session Of congress which has
just closed was called by President Nc
Kinley two days after he took the oath
of office on the steps Of the capitol 1t
met in pursuance to his proclamation
at noon on March Is. The special mes
sage transmitted by him to both hous-
es on the opening day was brief. It
explained the deficiencies in the rove
nues, reviewed the bond issues of tha
last administration and urged congress
promptly to correct the then existing
condition by passing a tariff bill that
would supply ample revenues for the
support of the government and the
liquidation of the public debt. No
other subject of legislation was men
toned in the message, and the tariff
bill has been the all-absorbing feature
of the session. The Republican men,
bers Of the ways and means commit
tee of the preceding house had been at
work throughout the short session

VOLUNTEER RANK COUNTS.
Important Question of Precedence
in Court CcrenOnfaIs.

III court CcrenOnialS.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-An echo of the
coronation ceremony which led to so much
correspondence on such subjects as diplomatic
uniforms, court procedure and matters of
precedence in official ceremonies. is found in
an opinion just rendered by the attorney gen
eral touching the respective rights of volun-
teer and regular army and navy officers 10
wear the uniforms Of highest rank which thew
attained during the rebellion. Col John p
McCOok, who represented the United States
army, and Capt. G. H. Wadlegh. the repre-
sentative of the United States navy. at the
coronation, had some difficulty over the uues-
uon OF precedence, growing out of the fact
that McCook claimed the lead by virtue if
his high volunteer rank, as shown by his
uniform. Minister Breckenridge sustained the
army officer, and the state department was
obliged to call upon the war and navy de-
paFtment for their construction of the statute
granting officers the right to bear the rank
and wear the uniform of their highest Yolun-
teer rank. The direct issue was presented in
recent application of James T. Farrell. bre-
vet major Of United States volunteers, and
late captain of the Fifth New York heavy ar
tiilery. The two departments were unable
to agree upon the matter, and it was referred
to the attorney genereTal The latter hes de-
cided that only eX-Offcers may wear such
uniforms and bear such rank. In other
words, no officer at present on the army rolls
can wear the uniform of the volunteer rank
but persons who were honorably mustered out
of the volunteer service and who have no
army connection now, may wear It on occa~
Sions of ceremony.
