Rome, July 2l.-The Popolo Romano

insulting remarks he is alleged to have

clined to fight with the Italian lieuten-
ant who had been designated by the
drawing of lots to challenge him.

WOMEN AT THE ROCK PILE.
Female Prisoners In Kansas City Will
Not BE Put to Work.

Kansas City, July l9.-Women
prisoners are not to be put to work on
the rock pile with men in Kansas City
Kan. The board OF police commission
ers, who decided last week that this
should be done, have found public sem
timent too strongly opposed to their
plan. In Difference to the first outburst
of popular opposition, the police com
missioners proposed to rescind that part
of the order compelling the women t.
wear mems overall's, but this failed to
tally to stop the food OF protest, anG
the order is wholly rescinded.
The agitation here has developed the
fact that the same rule is enforced by
the police of Leavenworth. Kan.
Leavenworth's women prisoners are
made to break rock, and to wear over
alls. They are worked separate from
the men, and break rocks with small
hammers, under shed in the Jail yard.
The Leavenworth officers declare that
their women prisoners, as rule, do
not object to the work.

New York, July 2O.-This city has
been touched with the gold fever. The
past PA hours has seen come to the
front at least 1900 Argonauts. who
will be on the way to the Clondyke re-
gion just as soon as arrangements can
be made for transportation. This city
furnished more '49ers than any state
in the Union. 1t would not be strange
at all if this city should within the
next six months, assuming there is a
confederation of the favorable reports,
be more largely represented on the
boats slowly stemmng the currents of
the Youkon than the entire Pacific
coast.
Some notion of how the craze is
spreading may be had from the fact
that within As hours an advertisement
calling for those who desired to join
an expedition to Alaska and who had
from $500 to 81, 900 to invest was an
swered by more than 1900 applicants.
In this particular case there was some
misunderstanding, inasmuch IS the
company publishing the call, is. in the
main, a trading company, while the
applicants were eager to 60 as prospect
ors, or to ally themselves with what
even might be 'grub-stake" concerns.
However, 80 men have enlisted in its
service, and will start for the Clondyke
region within three weeks. They will
go as employees OF the company, essen
TALLY, but in the event Of their strik-
ing paying claim or becoming inter-
ested in one, the company will aid
them by advancing money sufficient to
develop promising strikes.

Washington. July 2l.-The senate,
after assembling, went into executive
session for over two hours. and on re-
opening the doors the conference report
on the general deficiency bill was agreed
to. The Harris resolution in regard to
the Union Pacific railway WAS taken up,
and Morgan continued his speech on the
subject. He hoped the president would
defer action in order to enable congress
TO look into the matter. ThIrston gave
notice of his intention to discuss the
subject in the future. Stewart then
took the floor.
He reviewed the history of the con-
struction of the road. contendiny that
it was patriotic effort, and not a
scheme to rob the government. Harris,
in refutation of this, called attention
to President Cleveland's structure upon
the Union Pacific management in his
message of January II, 1883.
Stewart said he did not wish to ex-
onerate the company from the payment
of its just dues to the government, but
objected to their being regarded as
criminals. He desired to have the
whole matter closed. The resolution
under consideration would accomplish
no purpose.
Thurston spoke in opposition to the
resolution. He contended the govern
ment had already risked enough money
in the investment; that, without ex-
tending another favor and without
making further expenditure, it should
proceed in the ordinary legal methods
through the courts to enforce its legal
rights, whatever they might be, and to
secure repayment of all its dues on
whatever property the courts shall find
are justly subject thereto. The propo-
sition before the senate, he said,
stripped OF technicalites, was simply to
invest another $34, 600, 600 and take the
chance of getting it back on the ulti-
mate sale OF the road.
At 5 O'Clock an executive session was
held, and then adjournment was had.

some young companions to extinguish
an imaginary blaze in the very place
the flames afterwards broke out.

miles further by water, to Dyea, thence
over the mountain passes, down Lakes

billed to sail at o'clock this morning.

deck. At 8, it was announced she
would not sail till l o'clock. The
crowd kept growing larger. At

away till 8, and at that hour she threw
off her lines and pulled into the bay,
