Washington, June 2. - There was q
lively session of the house yesterday at
which the policy Of Speaker Reed and
The Republican majority was again made
the minority. Richardson Of Tennessee
and Simpson led the onslaught for the
minority. The majority position was
defended by Henderson and Grosvenor.
The appeal Of Lewis Dem.) Of Washing
ton. taken last Thursday from the de-
eision Of the chair that . resolution re-
Lifting to foreign affairs did not con-
stitute question Of privilege was laid
On the table, and after the slkirmish
ever the methods Of procedure three
special orders were successfully adopted.
By two Of which the senate bills making
. special appropriation for the govern
nent printing Office and for granting the
secretary Of the navy authority to con-
tract with any two vessels to carry
contributed supplies to India were
passed.
Richardson Opens tho Attack.
The other provided for the considera-
ton OF the Frye bill to prevent coll
lisions upon harbors. rivers and inland
waters OF the United States connected
with the ocean. But Payne, in charge
Of the latter bill, was forced to aban-
fOv fbn doxv 20
no quorum. The conference report ON
the sundry civil bill was adopted. When
Richardson opened the attack on the
inaction Of the house and protested Wig
orously against the present method of
doing business, Here we are" he said,
with our hands tied; with no commit
tees. none Of the conveniences or ne
cesities Of legislation: nothing except
the committee on rules which dictates
what we shall do and shall not do. The
house never was in such a dilapidated
and disorganixed condition for such q
length Of time" Richardson recalled
the time which had elapsed before COM
mittees were appointed, showing. as he
SAID. that the period had varied from If
teen to thirty days.
Simpson Takes Up the Music.
Simpson remarked upon the spectacle
presented by the house. Because of the
refusal of the speaker to obey the rules
and appoint the committees, we must
come to the committee on rules as sup
plicants." Continuing Simpson said:
"Over 5000 bills have been introduced at
this session and 1,166 were for the relief
Of the old soldiers. The Republicans"
said he. claim to be the especial guar
dams Of the old soldiers. Why don't they
consider these measures? Then there is
the bankruptcy bill, for the passage Of
which there is great demand through
out the country"
us there any greater demand now
than there was in the last congress?''
interrupted w. A. Stone Of Pennsylva-
mia.
There u.s." retorted Simpson, because
the prosperity you promised has not ma
terfalized. and the people now seek the
relief that you promised the tariff would
give them through the bankruptcy
courts" Laughter
Terry Of Arkansas contributed some
brief remarks to the debate, in which he
described the majority as having lain
down and been "bucked and gagged" by
the speaker.

Pittsburg. June 2.-The Commercial

men throughout the Shenango and Ma.
honing valleys contemplate q general
strike about July 1 for increased wages.
The men have no organization an yet,
but are insisting on having organizers
from the Knights Of Labor sent among
them. The plan for the strike, which
will include 10000 men. is to wait until
the weather gets at summer heat, when
1t will be impossible for new men to do
this class OF work. and it il believed
the furnace operators will accept and
capitulate. The present wagesof furnace
men vary from $l50 to e per day.
Strike Against . 1sd1ction.
A strike against o reduction of wages
was inaugurated yesterday In the great
iron works of Jones & Laughlin. The
stories of the number Of men Who quit
work are conflicting. At the south side
Office q superintendent thought about
$50 men had quit work. but these had
not crippled the plant. The workmen
claim that between 400 and 500 have
refused to work for the reduction. The
superintendent said he would rather
have the old employees resume, but Il
they do not new men will be employed
to take their places. About 1000 men

FRIDAY. OCT. =. 1897.

On last Monday, the Democrats OF this
county held a convention for the pur-
pose of nominating a candidate for the
Ronse of Delegates. In some respects,
the convention was unique. There was
An absence Of we'll known faces and we'll
known voices. The convention failed
TO be entertained by long windsd and
extravagant speeches. Everything WAS
done with upi eeedented unanimlty. In
fact TO such an extent did this prevail,
that the Chairman thought it was un-
necessary to give both sides chance to
vote. The overwhelming msiority that
Mr.. Bauserman had received in the pri-
msries completely demOralized the sup
porters OF DR.. F. E. Rice and his name
was not even presented before the con-
ventiOn. When we consider that DR..
Rice had the unanimous support OF the
Democratic pspers Of this county, and
that these papers had brought his good
qualities prominently before the public,
it indicates that our people are beginning
to think for themselves and take spscis
pleasure in bringing their feet squarely
down on men and measures advocated
by papers that assumed the garb OF lead
erShip. 4 young man without political
experience smashed the slate OF the
politicians into pieces so small that 1t
will be impossible to collect them and
repair the machine. Newspapers am
bilious for leadership have been called
dowa, and have been notified that they
cannot lead. They must again play the
role of last year and become cbedient
followers Of tiAir masters.
The convent on transacted their 6usi-
ness without dissenting voice. There
was not great deal of enthusiasm but
there must have been great deal OF con-
fidence, for they actually passed reso-
luton endorsing the vsgsrirs of the
Chicago platform.
