WALSH’S BILL. He Has Incurred Too Much Displeasure. Washington, May 22.—1 n the senate, Mr. Walsh, of Georgia, rising to a ques tion of privilege, referred to a publica tion in the morning papers of a dispatch from St. Paul, stating that the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers had adopted a resolution condemning him for having introduced in the senate a bill to punish with 20 years’ imprison ment persons convicted of tho obstruc tion of any train carrying the United I States mail. He had, he said, introduced no such bill. He had introduced a bill to pro tect the United States mail, but he had no intention of having it apply, directly or indirectly, to the Brotherhood of Lo comotive Engineers, or any other com bination of laborers. He recognized that labor had its rights as well as capi tal or corporations. Having served his apprenticeship to the printers’ trade, he had never seen the day when he djd not sympathize with the laboring people of the country. He recognized that they had the right to organize to protect their interests and to advance their material condition in life. He also recognized that capital had rights just as well as labor. He re cognized that the labor organization had the right to direct members of its order to discontinue work. But he did not recognize that it had any right to inter fere with the rights of other laborers if they saw fit to go to work. Laborers had the perfect right under the laws to obtain redress of their grievances. They had the right to work or not to work, as they saw fit. But they had no right to obstruct the ordinary affairs of business or of trade, and they had no right to resort to violence to accomplish their purpose. This was a land of lib erty, but it was also a land of justice, of law, of order. As long as the labor ing people of the country sought to have redress of their grievances in accordance with the forms of law, as long as they sought to work out in a lawful way, their rights to accomplish their purposes, he was with them to that extent and no further. The bill which he had introduced might have been loosely worded and might be liable to the con struction which the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers had placed upon it, but neither directly or indirectly had he contemplated that any such construc tion would be placed unon it, or that in case of its passage it would have any such effect. He therefore asked the privilege of introducing an amended bill and would read it, so as to remove any possibility of the misconstruction of his intention. Mr. Walsh then read the bill. Its title is “To Protect United States Mails,” and it provides that any person who shall rob, or attempt to rob, or maliciously obstruct or retard for the purpose of robbery the passage of any railroad train on which mails are car ried, shall be punished by imprison ment at hard labor not less than one nor more than 20 years. The bill was Tead the first and second time and re ferred to the committee on postoffices and post roads. At 10:80 the tariff bill was taken up. On motion of Mr. Harris, the amend ment Increasing the duty on iron ore from 40 to 60 cents, offered by Mr. Platt, was laid on the table by a vote of, yeas, 32; nays, 21. The finance committee amendment, placing iron ore on the dutiable list at 40 cents per ton was agreed to without division. The house went into a committee of the whole on legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill. A POLICEMAN KILLS FIVE. lie Was Trying to Quell a Row at a Dance in Austria. London, May 22.—A Vienna dispatch to The Daily News reports: During a dance in the village of Bchutzen, near Oedenburg, a quarrel arose between some of the young men about some women. A gendarme inter vened to restore order, whereupon the young men surrounded him in a threat ening manner. The officer, believing his life was in danger, drew a revolver and Qred into the crowd.

Thieves That Thrive at the Public Cribs of the Agricultural Department. Washington, May 22.—The ex-pri vate secretary of Congressman Lock wood, who sold a forged order for a job lot of the government “horse books” which belonged to his employer’s quota, is locked up. Mr. Lockwood says he will let the law take its course. The case serves to call attention to a regular traffic and brokerage business which is going on continually in seeds and docu ments furnished free in great quanti ties by the government to members of congress. There was once a senator who fed to his horses the seed oats which the department of I agriculture furnished for distribution ’to farmers. Congressman Hatch, of Missouri, says: “A person whom I did not know, but evidently a rascal, came into my com mittee room a short time ago and offered to sell me a large quantity of seed. I asked him where he obtained it, and he said he had purchased it of members and of members’ clerks. I listened to him a while and then told him that I was half inclined to have him arrested, but as I could not waste time to prose cute him I concluded to let the matter pass. I ordered him out of my room and told him if I ever heard again of his offering seed for eale I would swear out a warrant. I’m half sorry now I did not do it. I don’t know just how fai members are themselves responsible for these brokers. They have no right to sell government publications put to their credit as representatives. If they have no use for them they can always give them to members who are short, and can receive others that are Valuable to their constituents in return; but I have no very high opinion of a member who will try to make money by selling his government documents.” “I had between 300 and 400 volumes of government publications stolen on a forged order,” said Representative Mc- Millin. of Tennessee. “I never found out who did it, but it is stjrange how many queer tricks are practiced by out siders to secure seeds and government publications. My books were stolen a year ago. Some one, whom nobody af terwards could identify, walked into this document room, where they are kept to the credit of Representatives, and presented an order that bore a very fair imitation of my signature for 400’ books.” DEEP VESSELLS AFLOAT. Tbe New Steamers That Will Carry the Canada Mails. Lgndon, May 22.—A description of the steamships to be employed in the Anglo-Canadian mail service, in connec tion with the Pacific line, is printed in the morning’s Times. The four Atlantic vessels are 572 feet in length, have 62 feet beam and depth of hold 42 feet, with a load draft of 30 feet, making them the deepest vessels afloat. They are two feet deeper than the Cunard liner Lucacia. “This depth is rendered possible,” The Times explains, “by the fact that the Canadian and English harbors have deeper waters than the harbor of New York. The greater depth of the new steamers allows of a stronger hull, and will give better results in a seaway, and also assist in the development of speed.” The freight carrying capacity of the steamers is fixed at 3,500 tons each, in addition to a coal bunker capacity of 8,000 tons. Each vessel will accommo date 300 saloon, 200 second cabin a: d 1,000 steerage passengers. The comfort of steerage passengers is especially pro vided for. The engines are ot 21,000 horse pow er, and will drive the vessels at a speed of 20 knots an hour in ordinary weath er. The English port of arrival and de parture for the new line has not been decided upon, but Mr. Huddert, the promoter of the line, announced on Sat urday that it will be Southampton, Mil ford Haven or Liverpool.

Indianapolis, May 22.—Wiley Tay lor and Cloud Sanders played Dead wood Dick in J. L. Reach's commission house with serious results. Sanders said he was Deadwood Dick, and Tay lor challenged the roost and winked his eye. Sanders reached into a drawer and got a revolver and warned Taylor not to wink his eye again.

Ga. THUJHSmAY. MaY 24, jay* A TOWN FOR SALE. The Whole Thing to Go Under the Ham mer of the Sheriff. Manchester, N. J., May 22.—1 tis not often that a whole village, includ ing huge railroad shops, churches, schools, stores and residences, is sold at sheriff’s sale, but that is the condition of affairs that confronts the citizens of Manchester. A mortgage given by John Torrey, now deceased, in January, 1867, to the Mutual Benefit Life Insu rance company of Newark, is the paper upon which foreclosure proceedings have been brought. Mr. Torrey was an influential New York financier, and carried on real estate speculations on a scale the magnitude of which would surprise the operators of today. He bought up many thousands of acres of pine lands in Manchester town ship, Ocean county, and laid out this town. He carried through successfully the project of building the old Raritan and Delaware Bay railroad, which broke up after years of fighting the monopoly that had been granted to the old Cam den and Amboy route. In fact, he was the only man who succeeded in coping with Commodore Stockton and John, Robert L. and Edwin A. Stevens, who so long dominated the New Jersey legis lature, and caused the state to be dubbed the “Camden and Amboy state.” In building his railroad from the Ra ritan to Bayside, on the Delaware bay, John Torrey negotiated a famous loan of 90,000 pounds with the Bank of Eng land through Brown Bros. & Co., on his less than 10,000 acres of pine land, the like of which then or now would hardly bring $5 an acre in the open market. The description of the sale occupies two whole pages in one of the local newspapers in which it is advertised, set in nonpareil type, and this great length of description only serves to en tangle all the more the unsophisticated working folks, who fear their homes are to be sold. THE COLOR QUESTION. Texans Are Up in Arms Against Their Rector’s Recent Actions. Houston, May 22.—Threats to tar and feather Bishop Kinsolving, who lives here, and Dr. Aves, rector of Christ church, the principal Episcopal church of southern Texas, have been made. Dr. Aves invited Rev. Thomp son, of Tyler, Tex., a negro, to partici pate in tho church services Sunday night, and many members of tbe church left the building in anger. Last Wednesday the bishop increased their anger by inviting Thompson and other visiting colored ministers to a parish dinner. Tbe white Episcopalians declined to dine with thorn. Dr. Aves came to Texas from Vermont a short time ago. The Houston Herald says: “If Bishop Kinsolving and Rector Aves want to mix niggers and white people in religious or any other kind of social equality, they have come to the wrong place to set up such a damnable, pace. Such John Brownism will not be tolerated, and for the sake of peace they are advised to leave Texas. The best plan is to fire them both out of the com munity.” Many leading men do not indorse The Herald’s utterances, but it is evident that if the color question is again raised in Houston churches it will prove a se rious matter. About 200 members of Dr. Ave’s church have determined to withdraw from it. Murderers Prepared for Death. San Antonio, Tex., May 22.—John D.

Washington, May 22.—Two reasons are offered for the apparent change of plan on the part of the Republican sen ators by which, after some sharp fight ing for stage effect over the more im portant schedules, the tariff bill is to be permitted to come to a vote within the next four weeks. Reason number one is that the more aggressive and influential Republican senators have, in the latest recasting of the bill, secured almost as many conces sions as the “Conservatives” themselves, and are now, in a measure, satisfied with it. Reason number two is that they be lieve the house will stand out against the amended bill, and that the measure will fall in an angry and protracted con ference between the house and the sen ate. The situation is so peculiar that nearly any line of speculation seems warranted as to the reason for this move or that, but so far as the house Is concerned there seems to be small room to doubt that the senate’s final action, whatever it may be, will prevail. The feeling in certain quarters in the house against the senate’s surrender is very strong. The revenue reformers who have fought for that cause for years and staked all on the issue are outraged beyond the power of expression. But not enough of them will refuse their assent to a con ference report conceding practically all that the senate will demand to defeat the report. Men like Mr. Harter, of Ohio, will un doubtedly hold out. Mr. Harter is pre paring to retire from political life, and can afford to be independent, but the leaders—Wilson, Turner, Bynum, Mc- Millin and Breckinridge, of Arkansas, who expect to remain in politics, and are called upon to consider the question of next autumn’s congressional cam paign—will yield their judgment, as Mr. Mills is doing in the senate, to that of the majority. The Democratic majority in the house is large, and Mr. Harter’s following might be respectable in num bers without imperilling the bill. The temptation to accept the bill, stuffed though it will be with trust levies and protection, will be very strong. The argument will run in this wise: “Pass this bill and then adjournment will be in sight. A hot campaign is ap proaching, and the preliminaries cannot be arranged too early. The Republi cans are already in the field utilizing advantages gained from the spring elec tions, and campaigns upon the assertion that this congress is impotent. Defeat this bill, or protract the debate much longer, and inevitable Democratic dis aster will follow. Democratic nominees for congress will be defeated by the score in every quarter, and in addition to the political complexion of the next house that of the next presidency will also be decided in The great strength of this argument will lie in the fact that the administra tion will employ it. Mr. Cleveland and all the members of his cabinet have rat ified the Senate’s surrender, and are ready to urge its acceptance on the house. Mr. Cleveland’s influence with the house is very great, as has been de monstrated on two important occasions. It accepted his views last autumn on the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act, and it loyally covered, by resolution, his retreat in the Hawaiian matter. There seems every reason to believe that it will accept the amended Wilson bill at his suggestion, and make ready for the coming campaign. As the bill passes the senate the combined influence of the president, his cabinet, the majority of the senate, and business interests all over tho country will be brought to bear to effect a speedy ac ceptance on the part of tbe house, and it will succeed.

He Continues to Preach “Strike” in the Face of Failure. Columbus, O„ May 22.—President John Mcßride, of the united mine workers, in a speech at a mass meeting of railway employes here, said that, with few exceptions, the companies op erating the railways of the country are also engaged in mining coal.
