Fifty-Eighth Congress.
Washington, April II.

Immediately upon the assembling OF
the Senate today, the chair presented an
invitation to the Congress to attend the
formal opening of the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition, at St. Louis, April 30.
A bill accepting a statue OF Thaddeus
Kosciusko from the Polish American
Society was passed.
The conference report on the Indian
appropriation bill was ordered recon-
mitted.
The following resolution presented by
Mr.. Hoar, was agreed to:
"That the Secretary of the Navy be
directed to furnish to the Senate such
information as he may have at his COM
mand in regard to the value OF the
American fisheries including the Atlantic
and Pacific shore and ocean fisheries,
and the fisheries of the lakes and gulf,
as a resource for the supply of seamen
for the navy, especially in time OF war,
and that the secretary shall be at liberty,
in his discretion, when such information
relating to any single class shall be
ready. to communicate it to the Senate
without delaying it until the remainder
of the information shall be complete. "
When the postofice appropriation bill
was taken up Mr.. Teller attacked the
cancelIing machine provision. There
is no reduction over the schedule liked
by G. w. Beavers" he declared.
Later, in replying to a remark OF Mr..
Teller, Mr.. Lodge exclaimed: 81 am
not defending G. w. Beavers
"No," retorted Mr.. Teller, che is
under indictment, but there are those
who ought to be under indictment who
have been defended upon this floor"
Mr.. Lodge asked for an explanation.
Mr.. Teller said he had meant no ref
erence to the Senator's attitude.
The Senator said he believed that
something existed in the Postoffice De-
partment which ought to be investigated.
III believe, with republicans high in
Office that the investigation did not go
far enough" he declared.
Mr. Simmons in replying to remarks
of Mr.. Spooner, in which the Senator
from Wisconsin had ridiculed pro-
phecy that the democratic presidential
candidate would be of a calm, judicial
mind, declared that Gin these piping
times of strenuousity only man OF
aggression, man who if the laws
did not suit him, could construe them to
suit his desires, will meet the republican
idea of President.

the strictest vigilance for persons going
to Malta and other points at which the
Kaiser will touch on his tour. 1t is
evident that a body of conspirators are
working at their quarters in London.
There is in all probability serious plot
on foot of which the English police have
obtained an inkling.

FUNDS FOR FIGHT.
Chicago Unions TO Be Assessed for
Striking Neat Packers.

Chicago, Aug. l0.-All the labor
unions in Chicago have indorsed the
stockyards strike. After listening to
the strikers side Of the controversy,
which was presented to them by Mich
ael J. Donnelly, president of the strik-
ing Butchers union, the Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor, which is composed of
every labor organization in Chicago and
has a membership Of nearly 100000,
adopted resolutions tonight pledging
the moral and financial support OF the
federated body as long as the strike
continues.
Each member of the central body
will be assessed a smal sum per week
and the hole amount will be turned
over to the striking unions to help in
the support of the strikers aud their
families during the struggle with the
packers. The exact amount each
member is to be assessed was left in
the hands of a committee, with orders
to report results tomorrow.
While the officials of the Federation
of Labor were unable tonight to give
an exact estmste Of the amount ot
money they would secure from this
source, it was stated that the total sun

which are rugged and healthy. Cap
tain G. W. Peters, who is in charge Of
the orchard, is very enthusiastic over
English walnut prospects in this sec
tion. He says the nuts from this orch
ard have been compared with samples
from over the United States and even
foreign countries, and found very much
suerior.

TALKS PLAINLY TO TURKEY.
Hay informs Her American Patience
Is Nearly Exhausted.

Washington, Aug. 10,-Secretary
Hay today tluntly told Chekib Bey,
the Turkish minister here, that the
patience of the American government
is well nigh exhausted. The minister
is expected to communicate this intor-
nation to his home goyernmnt speedi-
ly. Chekib Bey had no instructions
from the porte when he called at the
state department today. He had seen
the newspaper reports Of the state de-
PAL tment to Second Minister J.eishman's
efforts automatically at, Constantine
Pile by the presence of fleet OF Ameri-
can warships in Turkish waters, and he
doubted the reports. Secretary Hay
soon satisefid him on that point, and
the minister returned to his legation
to frame a dispatch for the Information
Of the Turkish foreign Office.
He did not care to make statement
himself as to the nature of his inter-
view with Secretary Hay. There ap-
peared to be an impression in the mind
of the Turkish statesman that because
the president OF the United States could
not make war without the consent of
congress, he thereby was estopped from
indulging in a demonstration to for
ward his purpose to secure fair treat
ment for the Americans in Turkey.
When Chekib Bey left the state depart
ment he evidently was in astate Of con-
Germ over what he had heard.

ALASKA MAY FIND FAULT.
Department Does for Bankers What
II Would Not for Territory.

Washington, D. c., Aug, 1.-THE
postoffice department, by issuing an
order today at the behest of capitalists
and bankers of New York, eliminating
all weight restrictions on first class
mail matter addressed to foreign Coun-
tries where domestic rates do not ap,
ply, lays itself open to criticism of
discriminating against Alaska. Last
winter an effort was made to induce
the department to waive the weight
estIictions on first-class mail matter,
so that Alaska miners might ship their
gold to states by mail in packages
weighing more than four pounds, but
this privilege was denied. Shippers
represented through congressman that
they were now at the mercy OF the
transportation companies, who we've
charging exhorbitant rates to bring
gold to the states, and they therefore
sought the privilege of shipping by
mail. The department then held it
could not amend its regulation. Now,
however, it amends the regulation in
order that the banks may more conven-
iently ship their securities abroad.
