Review of the Work of the Organization
for the Past Year.
Baltimore, June I.9—The tenth annual
session of the National Catholic Union
began in this city yesterday. Archbishop
Gibbons celebrated High Mass and
preached at St. Peter’s Church, where an
address was ‘also delivered by Rev. Dr.
John E. Foley. Shortly after noon the
Union was called to order in Ford’s Opera
House, with Rev. Mr. Mitchell, ot Brook
lyn, in the chair.
The President read his annual report.giving
a general reTiew of the workings of the nnion
during the past vear. after which he exhorted
the delegates to renewed effort. The report was
adopted with the thanks of the union. Juan
Piziui. Secretary, presented his report, which
stated that the number of societies in the
union had decreased. There are now sixtv
six, which is not more than half
the number formerly enrolled.
He also stated that ’the receipts
had so far fallen off that money had Jo be
raised by a loan to defray the expenses of the
Union. The financial statement had not yet
l-een prepared. An auditing committee was
then appointed to devises plan to raise money
for the expenses of the Union, as follows: J.
Hannan, of Washington; J. B. McGoldriek,
of New Tork, and W. B. F. Whatl, of Boston.
Manding committees were then appointed
on the Constitution, on Organization and dn
Resolutions. A committee was appointed to
draft an address to Pope Leo AXIL, and, on
motion, the officers were directed to send a
cablegram to the Pope asking his benediction
on the union. Papers were then read on the
danger, to faith and morals by
the Hoarding system, especially in large cites,
and “Wiiat are practical safeguards against
these evils;” “Why literary exercises are not
more popular in Catholic societies;”-
"Hint can literary exercises lie
made more popular.” After some other
pa|>ers were real the committee*
w ere apiiointed to suggest remedies for the
evils spoken of. The following arch-diocesea
and diocese* are represented in the union:
Baltimore, New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
Albany. Brooklyn, Buffalo, Providence, Rich
mond, Newark. Ogdenaburg and Scranton.
OFFICERS ELECTED AND LETTERS READ
FROM ABSENT ECCLESIASTICS.
The National Catholic Union reassembled
t in morning w ith Uev. W. Mitchell, Presi
dent, in the chair. Letters were received
from Bishop Gross, of Savannah, expressing
regret that he could not lie present, and also
from Rev. E. H. MeGurly, of New York city,
stating that the necessity of remaining
with hi* church prevented his presence at the
union. A paper by J. J. O’Connor was read,
declaring that each society should have a
constitutional provision requiring its mem
bers to approach the Holy Eucharist in a body.
The auditing committee’ ro|>orted the state
ment of the Treasurer correct.
The following officers were then elected;
Rev. J. 11. Mitchell, of New York, President;
Vice Presidents, Rev. James E. Cleary, of
Philadelphia, and W. P. F. Whall. of Boston;

CHEERS FOR SPURGEON.
The Celebrated Divine’s 50tli Birthday
Enthusiastically Celebrated.
London, June 19.—A jubilee in honor
of the 60th birthday of Rev. Charles H.
Spurgeon was given at llolborn Taber
nacle lust night. The building was
crowded, over 6,000 persons being present.
Two Christian Nestorians from Persia
were at the meeting. Mr. Spurgeon and
variotts members of the Spurgeon family
were grouped on the platform, and were
greeted with prolonged cheers and the
waving of handkerchiefs by the audience.
The applause continued for several min
utes after the opening hymns were sung.
The audience then united in prayer, after
which Mr. Spurgeon addressed the meet
ing. He spoke at length and with great feel
ing, moving the audience to tears. He
thanked his hearers in glowing terms for
their cordial reception. He said: “Our
American friends are generally very cute
judges. 1 read often of their opinions of
me. They have repeatedly asserted ‘Spur
geon is no orator; we have scores of bet
ter preachers in America; but it is evi
dent that Spurgeon preaches the Gospel
and a majority of our celebrated men do
not.’” Hear! hear!]. Mr. Spurgeon
continued in his characteristic style
to urge preachers to preach more
bllii|’W and Jiluinl/ iWo puro gOfepci nf the
grace' of God. The dry, dead gospel of
some preachers never evoked the sympa
thy of men’s hearts. Mr. Moody then
spoke. A list ol 14 congratulations from
associations at home and abroad were
next nail. Among them were one each
from the Philadelphia Baptist conference,
the Canadian branch of the Pastor’s Col
lege, and Mr. Spurgeon's father and two
brothers.
At the Spurgeon celebration to-night, a
check for $4,600 was handed Spurgeon.
The latter, on rising, received an ovation.
He said that the kindness he had received
during the last two days would melt the
hardest heart. He did not expect the
check, but did wish something raised
with which to extend and improve the
taliernacle and for other religious and
charitable purposes. The proceedings
were closed with a prayer and benedic
tion.
NORTH CAROLINA PROSPERITY.
Tlie Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Rail
road Opened Under Glowing Aus
pices.
GREENSBORO, June 19.—At the Invita
tion of the business men of Greensboro,
6,000 persons lrom fifteen counties, in
cluding representative men from the busi
ness centres of the State, from Wilmington
to Mount Airy, assembled to-day to cele
brate the opening of the Cape Fear and
Yadkin Valley Railroad to this point, 130
miles. The completed road is in fine con
dition, having substantial depots.new steel
rails and good rolling stock. Thirty-five
miles additional road is ready for the iron
west of Greensboro, and In three weeks
connection will be made with the Carolina
Central Railroad at Shoe Heel. A con
tract has been made for immediate exten
sion to BennettsvilleJS. C. The ultimate
purpose is to connect with the Cincinnati
and Wilmington Railroad. Judge Gilmer
delivered an address of welcome,
and Gov. Jarvis followed in an
address portraying the prosperity
of the State. Senator Vance con
trasted the present condition of the State
with 1865. North Carolina, he said, had
arisen from the ashes of desolation and
entered on a career of ntarvelons mjos
perity. Numerous short roads had fllu
built and the railroad mileage had in
creased from 1,000 to 2,000 miles. Great
improvement had been made in the public
schools and the school fund was greater
than all the other expenses combined.
There had been an unparelleled ad
vance in agriculture, in
and in the use of improved agricultural
instruments and in every influence of
civilization. He spoke of the law-abiding
character of the citizens and the high
tone of the public men, but, said the
speaker, while inviting immigration and
foreign capital the people must depend
on themselves for the development of their
material resources. Duncan Mcßea,
Treasurer Worth and others followed. A
grand banquet was afterwards given at
Benbow’s Hall.

AT THE NATION’S CAPITAL
THE SENATE PUTS ITS FOOT
DOWN ON TEA DUST.
Mexican Pension* Consume the Balance
of the Day in the Upper House—The
Bill Against Imported Contract Labor
Passed by the House After Debate.
Washington, June 19.—Mr. CameroD,
of Wisconsin, presided over the Senate
to-day, having been designated for that
purpose by the President of the Senate.
Mr. McPherson, from the Committee on
Naval Affairs, reported favorably the bill to
equalize the rank of graduate* of the Naval
Academy upon their assignment to various
corps. The bill, on motion of Mr. McPherson,
was at once read the third time and passed.
It provides that graduates of the Naval
Academy assigned to the line of the navy on
successful completion of six years course
shall he commissioned ensigns of the navy,
and the grade of juuior ensign is abolished,
persons now being junior ensigns to be com
missioned ensigns.
Mr. Butler called up his resolution provid
ing for an inquiry into the condition of the
New York natioual banks. After further de
bate, participated in by Messrs. Sherman,
Aldrich, Allison, Morgan and Morrill, Mr.
Butler’s resolution went over.
The bill to prevent the importation of tea
dust into the United States was read the third
time and passed.
THE MEXICAN PENSION BILL.
The Mexican pension hill was then taken up
and its consideration resumed.
Mr. Ingalls submitted a modification of his
arrears of pensions provision. This modifica
tion requires that in the computation of ar
rears. though not in the computation of a pen
sion proper, of an officer he shall take the
same rate as a private soldier. It limit* the
arrears to cases of persons who file their
applications prior to Oct 1, 1884. As to appli
cations lilt'd alter that time the pension shall
be computed only from the date of filing.
After some preliminary discussion as to the
probable addition to tlie annual cost of pen
s ons bv the adoption of I tie amendments pro
posed to the bill, Mr. Beck said the Com
missioner of Pensions had estimated the
amount at ab0ut5246,000,000.
Mr. Mitchell said that it was impossible to
make any intelligent estimate.
Mr. Beck said that it seemed to be tacking
on about $240,000,100 to a bill that originally
called for only $50,000,000. He presumed that
the intention in makingthisadditlon was to kill
the bill. The Republican* had a caucus over
it, and this was the result. Where, was the
money to come from?
Mr.’ Morgan inquired whether it was ex
pected to pay these pensions by an interfer
ence with the interest on the public debt, or
by increased tariff taxation.
A REPUBLICAN MEASURE.
This, he continued, was distinctly a Repub
lican measure, having had indorsement in
advance by the Republican Convention. lie
was sorry, however, to see the Republicans of
the Senate so half-hearted about it. If they
intended to obey the mandate of the conven
tion, why not come out boldly, assume the
responsibility of it. toss up their hats and glo
ry in the whole thing.
Mr. Ingalls said that Mr. Morgan’s was the
kind of speech that he always expected to
hear from Southern Democrats iqiou >he
question of pensioning Union soldiers. They
were willing to pension those of the Mexican
soldiers who went into the Confederate
army, and did their best to shoot soldiers of
the Union and overturn our government, but
on the proposition to extend the same broad
general measure of relief to soldiers of the
late war we wore always met bv vague de
nunciations of extravagance, ot outrageous
assaults intended to lie more on the Republi
can party in its profession of devotion to
Union soldiers. No one was misled by such
arguments. We could vote away hundreds
of dollars to educate the illiterate
and ignorant people of the South.
RAPPING THE SOUTHERNERS.
Place that much money in the hands of
Southern people ami there was no talk of a
raid on the Treasury, but the moment a prop
osition was made to'do justice to Union sol
diers every man seemed to be seized
with a sort of internal disturbance, and
proceeds to purchase a slate p-ncil and copy
of the multiplication table, and sits down to
figure out how much it is going to cost.
Mr. Ingalls admitted that the limitation of
time contained in his amendment was unjust,
and lie was ashamed of it. He had placed it
thereout of deference to the opinions of others.
There were senator* who would vote for t'.ie
measure with the limitation who would not
otherwise, and Mr. Ingalls believed that when
he could not get for a soldier a whole loxf. it
was his dulv to take what he could get. The
estimates that assumed the expenditure of
$216,000,000, involved in the bill, Mr. Ingalls did
not lielicve to be reliable; and if they were,
the amount would not be paid all in one year.
Got would be distributed through several
years
Pending debate at 5 o’clock the senate
went into executive soceion, and when the
doors were reopened adjoureed.
IN THE HOUSE.
The House met at 10 o’clock this morning in
continuation ot Wednesday’s session and re-
Riitned consideration of the Pacific Railroad
bill. The first question was on the amend
ment offered by Mr. Thompson, of Kentucky,
to make the aggregate yearly contribution of
Hie Central Pacific Company 55 instead of 35
per cent, of fhe r.et earning’s, and that of the
Kansas Pacific Company 45 per cent. The
Amendment was agreed to. A question was
then taken on the minority hill, and it was
rejected.
Mr. Hewitt, of New York, moved to rceom
mit the bill, with instructions to report by
the third Monday in December a bill by
which tlie sinking funds of the companies
shall be enlarged by additional payments so
that the debt due to the government may be
surely paid at maturity. A motion to recom
mit was rejected by a vote of 65 to S4. The
biir was then pissed without division. To
day’s session was then begun.
Sir. Hopkins, of Pennsylvania, from the
Committee on Labor, called up the bill to pro
hibit the importation and migration of
foreigners and aliens under contract to per
form labor. It makes it unlawful to enter
into an agreement or contract with any for
eigner or alien to perform labor or service of
any kind in the United States, or to prepay
transportation or in any way assist or en
courage the importation or migration of any
alien or foreigner under contract or agree
ment, parole "or special, express or implied.
It declares all such contracts void
and of no effect. It makes
it a crime, punishable with a fine anil
imprisonment, for any master of a ship to
land such aliens or foreigners, so under con
tract, in any United States port. The act is
not to apply to contracts for skilled workmen
in any new" industry not at present established
here, provided that skilled labor for that pur
pose cannot be otherwise obtained, nor to
professional actors, lecturers or singers.
DANGERS OF THE SYSTEM.
Mr. Foran, of Ohio, member of the com
mittee, made a speech in favor of the bill,
which he said was of the same general char
acter as the Coolie bill. He entered into a
close review of the labor question, quoting
from the testimony taken by the committee
to show the depressed condition of American
working men in those districts of the country
where they are brought into competition with
Italians and Hungarians imported under con
tract. If contract pauper labor were not pro
hibited, either American citizens would be
displaced or compelled to accept lower wages.
Cheap labor was a curse upon society, making
cheap men and ignorant, dangerous and
vicious citizens.
Mr. Maybury, of Michigan, after a brief ar
gument as to" the constitutionality of the
measure, denounced tlie system of contract
labor, declaring that It was brought into ex
istence not by the scarcity or exorbitance of
labor, but by the selfish, graspiug spirit of
some employers, who would rather thrive on
the flesh and blood of ignorant and degraded
employes than be served by intelligent free
men.
KELLEY'S VOTE UNCERTAIN.
Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, said that he
advocated the spirit of the bill, while he
feared that he could hardly accept it as a
well considered project of law. There were
many imperfections in it, and while he could
not promise to vote for it he wished to thank
the Committee on Labor for having reported
it. Ife had heard the word “socialism” whis
pered around. When the law makers of this
country, national, State and municipal, failed
to rega'rd and to provide for the social well
being of the laboring classes there would be
an end to enlightened institution*. The im
portation of cheap labor of the worst classes
of the least advanced of European nations
would make every industrial centre a great
nest of vipers anil of vicious wild beasts.
Mr. Cox, of New York, favored the meas
ure because it protected labor without giving
bounties to those who emploTed it.
Mr. Willis, of Kentncky, congratulated the
Committee on Labor that not only in this, but
i’i the bill establishing a bureau of labor sta
tistics, it had responded to the sentiment
which bad been justly pressing for recogni
tion for many years.
Messrs. Connolly of Pennsylvania, O'Neill
of Missouri, Dingley of Maine, Deuster of
Wisconsin, Ferrell and Fiedler of New Jer
sev. Bland of Missouri, Jones of Wisconsin,
Cutcheon of Michigan and MeComas of Ma
ryland expressed their hearty sympathy with
the purposes of the bill.
THE BILL AMENDED AND PASSED.
Mr. Jones, of Wisconsin, offered an amend
ment, which was adopted, providing that
nothing in this act shall be construed as pro
hibiting any individual from assisting any
member of his family or relation to migrate
from anv foreign country to the United
States. "The bill was then passed without
division.
Mr. Lowry, of Indiana, then, called up the
contested election case of Campbell vs. Mor
ris, and the House, by a vote of 122 yeas to 93
navs, sustained him in his object.
Mr. Lowry suggested that a final vote
should be taken before adjournment to-dav,
and Mr. Valentine, of Nebraska, sarcastically
made a counter suggestion that a vote should
be taken immediately.
Mr. Lowry blandly expressed his readiness
to accede to the request of the other side, and
demanded the previous question. This was
greeted with applause by the Democratic
side and with indignation by the Republicans,
who threatened to filibuster against such
proceeding. After a short discussion the de
mand for the previous question was with
drawn. and the time for the debate limited to
four hours. After a speech by Mr, Lowry iu
support of the claims of the contestant, the
House adjourned.

DIRECT TAXES.
Secretary Folger Favor* the BUI Re
lieving State* from Obligation Under
Them.
Washington,' June 19.—Secretary Fal
ger has written to Representative War
ner, Chairman of the sub-committee of
the House Committee on Claims, a long
letter expressing his approval of the
House bill, now pending, to relieve from
further liability on account of the direct
tax of 1861, those States that have not
paid their proportionate part thereof, and
to refund to the States that have paid the
sums received from them, respectivelv.
The Secretary says in substance that the
government is not now in need ot the
money to be realized from the enforcement
of this tax; that such enforcement
would put a grievous burden
upon the people of the States
that are in default; that the tax itself
would be especially objectionable, inas
much as the purposes for which it was
laid could not but be remembered with
distaste; that its collection would neces
sitate the appointment of a large number
of Federal officials who would go among
the people as obnoxious exactors, and
that in practical effect the law for it is
obsolete. The Secretary says:
“In iny judgment, therefore, the people and
property of the States in default should be re
lieved and discharged from this tax, and the
proposed measure is a good one. It is true
that exact y equal justice caunot be done in
carrying out the provisions of the bill relating
to the reimburse nent of those that have paid
part of the tax, but such failures of full and
general compensalion in dealing with trans
actions so long past nrost ensue, and are not to
bo potentially urged against the proposed
measures, which in the main do a work of
equal benefit.”
Concluding, the Secretary inquires
“whether this would not be* a suitable
occasion to deal with the matter of the
Federal surplus monies deposited or to
be deposited with the States, under the
act of 1836,” and suggests “that those
States which made a payment of their
portion of the direct tax uuder the act of
1861 be debited in the settlement proposed
by the bill before your committee with
the amount of that deposit made tftlth
them, and be paid the balance, and their
liability to the United States under the de
posit act be thus extinguished.”
lIREAVSTEU IXSIIiTS WVIjIK.
A Remarkable Incident of the Star
Route Trials Recalled.
Washington, June o ™.—Mr. Milliken,
of Maine, a member of the Springer In
vestigating Committee, asked George
Bliss a queer question while Col. Bliss
was in the witness’ chair this afternoon.
He asked Col. Bliss what he knew r about
the Attorney General’s having gone to or
sent for Judge Wylie in regard to having
the machinery of the government applied
to secure the indictment and conviction of
Kellogg. George Bliss replied
that be would rather not answer that
question; tnat to supposed that the com
mittee would examine j U( i™ Wviin
The inference drawn by ‘'those* in*
the committee room was that Col. Bliss
knew that the Attorney General had made
such a remark to .Judge Wylie. It is un
derstood that if Col. Bliss had answered
frankly and fully, lie would have qdd that
last 6p*ring, just before the Kellogg case
came to trial, the Attorney Generic o ne
day invited Judge Wylie to come h his
office. Judge Wylie went, wondering vhat
the invitation might mean. The Attorw
General explained that he had sent f>-
him to say that, while he wat
sorry for Mr. Kellogg, and bad no
desire to persecute him, still he
could not afford to let him go free, and to
that end be wanted the Judge, who was
about to try the case, to use every means
in his power to procure the conviction
of Mr. Kellogg. Judge Wylie was aston
ished at this remarkable proposition. lie
at once said, very indignantly, that the
Attorney General had mistaken his man.
He said that he was at a loss to account
for such an unheard of proposition, one
that no honorable Judge could enter
tain for a moment, and taking his
liat, lie left in high displeasure.
The Attorney General, it is remembered
'•y way of corroboration of this story, did
not appear In comt in tae trial,
although he hn<i =*>id that he would do so.
For some reason, not then understood, im
retained a Mr. Reynolds, of Lancaster,
Pa., to appear in his stead.
COD. BURNSIDE’S THIEVERY.
#32,000 Realized from tlie Sale of Ofllc©
Kefuse and Furniture Alone.
Washington, June 19.—J. O.P. Burn
side, late Superintendent of the Post
Office Department, who was rearrested
last night on warrants charging him with
retaining SB,OOO realized from the sale of
waste paper, was to-day released on $2,600
hail. An examination into his affairs
shows that Col. Burnside, immediately
upon entering his office in 1876,
began to retain a portion of the
money realized from the sales ot
old office furniture, carpets, waste
paper, etc., which he was by law
required to turn into the Treasury. The
investigation has been concluded with
much difficulty, owing to the fact that
Col. Burnside kept no records of sale of
material, but it h is been shown that he
received over $32,000 on that account. It
is probable that Col. Burnside will be re
arrested upon additional warrants, and
when the investigation is concluded the
facts will be laid before the grand jury.
BURNSIDE’S BONDSMEN.
Washington, June 19, 11:20 p. m.—
The bondsmen of J. O. P. Burnside, tbe
defaulting disbursing clerk of the Post
Office Department, notified police head
quarters to-night that they desired to sur
render Burnside to the authorities, as
they were unwilling to remain surety for
him any longer. He was accordingly re
arrested to-night, and to-morrow his
bondsmen will go into court and formally
ask to be discharged from his bond. It is
stated to-night that while the reason given
by the bondsmen for this action is, that
having discovered that Col. Burnside
had been systematically stealing from the
government, they are unwilling longer to
shield him, their trud motive is to get
him under police surveillance for fear of
his committing suicide if he remains un
watched.
THE TIIUHMAN ACT,
Success in the House to
be Followed Up in the Senate.
Washington, June LB.— Phil. Thomp
son’s bill amending the Thurman act
went through the House to-day with flying
colors. Apparently its opponents thought
that it would be tabled or pigeon-holed in
the Senate, under the agreement con
cluded between the Senate Judiciary
Committee and the Union Pacific that
there should be no legislation this session,
but Phil. Thompson says that the Judici
ary Committee agreement is entirely
unwarrantable, and that his bill will be
passed by tbe Senate in spite of that
agreement. Enough Republicans will
vote with the Democrats to put it through.
Mr. Beck is to attack tbe Judiciary Com
mittee agreement when the matter comes
up in the Senate.
The Nicaraguan Water Way.
W ASHINGTON, June 19.—Secretary Fre
linghuysen communicated to the House
Committees on Appropriations and Foreign
Affairs, at a joint meeting this morning,
details of the plans of the administration
in respect to the Nicaraguan water way.
He 6aid that the unusual methods adopted
for making these matters known to Con
gress were taken for real reasons, and
asked that his communications might be
received under restrictions of official
secrecy. The committees, after hearing
the Secretary, adjourned without action
of any kind.
A Dead Man's Accounts Short.
Washington, June 19 In settling the
accounts of Robert C. Morgan, deceased,
formerly disbursing clerk of the Depart
ment of State and chief of the Bureau of
Accounts, a deficit of $12,000 has been
discovered. His bondsmen are Charles
E. Whitehead and Horace M. Ruggles, of
New York, and Albert R. Bass, of Brook
lyn, and they have been called on to make
good the amount. Morgan was disburs
ing clerk of the State Department for
many years, and was held in the highest
esteem. He died about two months ago.

SAVANNAH, FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1884.
STAR ROUTE SKELETONS.
COL. BLISS FINISHES HIS RE
VIEW OF THE TRIALS.
The Witness Denies Attacking Mr.
Walsh—He Looks Upon the Banker’s
Transactions With Gen. Brady as Very
Dark—Bliss Claims to Have Advo
cated Kellogg’s Prosecution.
Washington, June 19.—Beginning his
testimony before the SpriDger investi
gation committee to-day, CoL Bliss said
that the question had been asked him why
he did not try some other case than the
Dorsey case. He continued:
“I did my best to have some other case tried.
There was a lumber of small rases. Mr.
Merrick and I had some talk on the matter.
He said that he thought that it was unwise to
take up these smaller cases, and nothing was
done.” Col. B 1 -s then answered some of the
statements of John A. M alsh in his festimonv
before the committee. “Mr. Walsh testified ”
Col. Bliss said, “that I was interested In the
Sativnal Republican. Mv interest wasone
seventy-sixtli. I went into it to see if I could
prevent attacks on the prosecution. From the
time I went in the attacksceased. When the
paper was bought there were several gen
tlemen connected with contracts that
could not be dropped. They had sympathy
for Gen. Brady. Mr. Walsh ears that I at
tacked him. That is not true.' Mr. Walsh
attacked me. and that very early.” The wit
ness read a long letter written bv him to the
Attorney General in answer to Mr. Walsh’s
first letter to the .President. H© |>ointed out
numerous alleged discrepancies in Mr.
w alsh s communication, aud spoke of the ab
sence of witnesses who were so assiduously
sought by the prosecution. Mitiioe was
then made to the statement ot-flr. Walsh pre
pared l>r A. M. Gibson* Col. Blits said that
that statement was prepared in 1881, that iu
it no mention was made of the rates for money
loaned to Gen. Brady, aud that no mention
was made of Gen. Brady stealing notes from
Mr. Walsh at an interview between the Iwo
m^n.
WALSH’S TRANSACTIONS WITH BRADY.
The witness continued: “My opinion is that
the transactions between Messrs. Walsh and
Brady were not loans, but money paid for
expedition. I think that it can be shown that
the notes did not exist till 1882. Mr. Walsh
ha* sworn here that the drafts and notes on
which his name appears were brought to him
by Mr. Kellogrg. In his statement he says that
those drafts ami notes were received by him
not from Mr. Kellogg:. but from Gen. Brady.”
Col. Bliss referred to the inte r view with
ex-Benator Kellogg. lie said: “Mr.
Kellogg came to see me at the hotel
after the grand jury was reconvened during
the second week in July. 1882. and showed me
a letter written to me by Attorney General
‘See Mr. Kellogg, and oblige your friend.' lie
said that Mr. Price had given him the en
velope to hand to Mr. Walsh. Mr. Kellogg
told me that he did not know the content* of
the envelope. He said subsequently that lie
had received some money from Mr. Walsh
used it for political purposes.
Mr. 5\ alsh had told him. he said,
that the money was the proceeds
of drafts. I did not let Mr. Kellogg go on. 1
could not help but think that lie knew what
was in the envelope when lie acted a* a mes
senger to convey it from Mr. Price to Mr.
W alsh.”
“Why didn’t you let him go on?” asked Mr.
Van Alstvue.
“I didn’t want to be a reservoir.”
“There's no harm in being a reservoir ”
** ! vhun y° are going to be tapped.
Mr. Kellogg * idea in coming to me was to
convince me that he had not done anything
wrong.” ' s
BREWSTER MADE NO EXPLANATION.
“Did Mr. Brewster make any explanation
of sending the letter that Mr. Kellogg bronght
W> you?”
“None, whatever.”
Col. Bliss then gave a detailed account of
the papers before the grand juries. Referring
to the testimony of Mr. Hutchinson, foreman
of one of the grand juries, that he had prom
ised that Mr. Price should be a witness before
the jury. Col. Bliss said: “I can’t reconcile
Mr. Hutchinson’s testimony wfth the fact*
that existed. 1 never said that Mr. Price
would appear on the next day. I said that we
Gped to have Price as a witness at the trial.”

UOL. KELLOGG’S IroSEUUTION.
Referring to thcjiroseciUon of Mr. Kellogj,
Col. Bliss said: The question came up tha,
the prosecution of Mr. Kelhtr.-r \youl<l chnnpft
the Republican majority i7” t he Senate, anil
then the question of postponing the trial until
after his term should expire, j ga i,i that if
Mr. Kellogg was guilty enoiigli< 0 tie indicted,
lie was too guilty to remain in U e Senate and
make laws. I never said that it v ag a serious
tiling to indict a United States Ssnator. A
colored juror made the remark, aud I,perhaps,
replied that it was. Reference lias he-n made,
to Mr. Kellogg being my friend."
When he came to me with
Mr. Brewster's note I did not
know him. I have had but two interviews
witli him. once here and once in New York,
and I have met him on the stree: three times,
and made a passing recognition. I said to Mr.
Merrick at one time that if Mr. Kellogg were
indicted the people would say that it was
done througli him, and because* he was a
Democrat. Col. Bliss referred to the pro
posed arbitration of the star route cases, and
said that he did not propose to arbitrate until
the grand jury refused to indict. He also
pointed out numerous errors of minor impor
tance in the testimony of Messrs. Walsh and
Ker, which completed tils evidence, and the
committee adjourned.
PATAU BOILER EXPLOSION.
Two Men Killed and Three Injured Near
Bellton, West Virgiua.
Pittsburg, June 19.—A Bellton, West
Virginia dispatch says: “A terrible ac
cident occurred at the saw mill of Jack
son <fc Seers, in Laurel Run, seven miles
from this place, yesterday,resulting in the
instant death of two men and the serious
injury of three others. The mill is a large
one, employing a considerable number of
men who all work near the boiler. At 4
o’clock, without warning of any kind, the
boiler exploded, almost entirely demol
ishing the mill, and scattering scald
ing 6team and fragments of lumber in all
directions. As soon as the shock of the
explosion was over a search of the ruins
was made, resulting in the finding of the
bodies of J. H, Seers, junior member of
the firm, and William Galz, a laborer,
together with three seriously injured
men, whose names have not been learned.
The loss will reach several thousand dol
lars.”
A BATTLE WITH INDIANS.
Threa White Men Encounter Seven
Savage* iu Northwestern Texas.
Galveston, Tex., June 19.—A Dallas
special says that information has been
received of a recent fight with Indians in
the extreme northwest corner of Texas
ten days ago. D. W. Staples of Dallas,
W. H. Hartsell, and a jnan named Hicks,
started from Palo Pinto county, Texas,
for Washington Territory on horseback.
When about a week out’ while near the
northern boundary of the Pan Handle,
the party was surprised by seven hostile
Indians. A fusilade followed, the whites
seeking shelter in the timber. The battle
continued several hours. Hicks fell dead
at the first volley. Staples heroically con
tinued firing for an hour, with a mortal
wound in the abdomen, and finally ex
pired. Five Indians were killed and the
other two, badly wounded, fled, leaving
Hartsell the sole survivor.
BISHOP SIMPSON’S BUBIAL.
The Ceremonies to be of an Unusually
Imposing Character.
•Philadelphia, June 19.—The Methc
dtst Episcopal ministers of this city met
at Wesley Hall this morning to take ac
tion relative to the death of Bishop Simp
son. It was decided to invite all members
of the Methodist Episcopal Church
and other churches to attend
the funeral services, which will
take place in the Arch Street
Methodist Episcopal Church at Philadel
phia, Tuesday, June 24, at 3 o’clock. The
ministers have arranged to meet in Wes

preachers, will proceed to South Laurel
Hill Cemetery, where, according to the
ritual of the church, the final service will
be held.
Transferred His Authority.
Saigon, June 19.— The King of Cam
bodia. has transferred the administration
of his kingdom to the French Governor of
Saigon. The Departments of Justice,
Finance, Customs and Public Works and
Army have been placed under French
control. The abolition of slavery will at
once follow. A provisional oivil list ot
30,000 piasters is granted to tbe King, and
ample allowances are provided for the
other members of the royal family. The
treaty embodying the foregoing changes
bos been concluded, subject to the rati

ENGLAND'S COURSE IN EGYPT.
Lord Randolph Churchill Denounce*
Gladstone and the Ministers.
London, June 19.—Earl Granville's
note to the powers in relation to the
Egyptian conference, after stating that an
eutente cordiale has been established with
F ranee on the questions of reform com
mission and the Egyptian debt, declares'
that the whole financial question will be
left to the discussion of the conference.
The scope and functions ot the commis
sion will also be left to the conference.
The question of English occupation of
Egypt is left undefined.
At an important Conservative demon
stration at Avlesburv vesterdav Lord
Randolph Churchill said’: “The govern
ment’s policy in Egypt is throughout a
tale of shame. The English Ministry is
the direct cause of the misery and blood
shed among inoffensive people, whom it is
our mission to protect and civilize. Pre
mier Gladstone ought to have fostered
Arabi Pasha's pat riotic movement instead
of destroying Alexandria and killing 10,000
Egyptians. After the battle ofTel-El-
Kebir England's power in Egypt was
greater, as her responsibility was greater,
but Premier Gladstone’s only thought was
how to abandon Egypt. His wavering
, . . "ftj P** lii" WrtICUUK
policy is answerable for the disaster and
bloodshed from the defeat of Hicks Pasha
to the fall of Berber. The radical herd in
the House of Commons obediently swal
lowed despotism, anarchy, military expe
ditions, massacres, decorations, rewards,
honors, titles and pensions, but a
day of reckoning was rapidly ap
proaching. Perhaps months or
weeks, possibly only days, will pass be
fore it. Vet Premier Gladstone selects
such a moment to propose the restoration
of French control, British evacuation and
an advance of £8,000,000 of British tax
payers’ money. Such proposals are fatal.
They are ruinous to our interests, finance,
honor and renown. The Ministers’ imbe
cility is without parallel in ancient or
modern times. Lord Churchill an
nounced that he was no advo
cate of fresh annexation which
meant increased armaments and taxation.
The maintenance of the British empire
depended upon ajust and righteous policy
—not the sword. England, however, had
virtually annexed Egypt. He then said:
“A lresh government cannot undo annex
ation, It must render it more complete
and effectual. The motto must be ‘E<vpt
for the Egyptians,’ with prolonged occu
palion for the best effect, with the acuui
escebce of Europe.”
THE FORCES IN EGYPT.
In the House' of Commons to-day the
Marquis of Hartington, Secretary of State
for War, said that the government be
lieved that the British and Egyptian
forces now in Egypt are sufficient to defend
upper Egypt. AfterthedefeatofGen. Hicks
last autumn the British aud Egyptian
military officials united in com
mon plan for defending upper Egypt. The
command and disposition of the Khedive’s
army, however, are distinct from those of
the British troops. The government,
therefore, is ignorant at present of the
disposition of the Khedive’s forces, and is
now negotiating with a view to placing
British officers in supreme command over-
all troops in Egypt.
Ehgland has sent a note to the cowers
communicating the agreement wtyhFrance
iu regard to the coming Egyptian confer
ence. T ranee has only notified the French
Ministers at the courts of the powers in
terested.
The powers are exchanging views con
cerutng the terms of the Egyptian eon
terence as proposed by Earl Granville.
It is not expected that they will give for
mal adhesion promptly,'except under
condition that they will not be bound by
any arrangement in which they have not
participated.
The French Ambassador at Coustanti
nople has informed the Grand Vizier that
I urkisli intervention in Ejfypt or Soudan
is excluded under the terms of the a<>ree
ment between England and France.
Uol. Wood has been instructed to echelon
the whole Egyptian army between As
souan and Wady Haifa by the end of
June. Several battalions of English in
fantry will proceed to Assouan, where an
entrenched camp is being constructed.

El Paso, Tex., June 19.
The Rio Grande river ha 6 shown more watei*
here and above than at any time in a quarter
of a century before. Tbe‘horse railway and
the Mexican Central Railway bridges have
both been swept away, and the valleys belffw
to Camp Rice and old Fort Quitman
have presented the appearance of a
vast inland sea. reaching from Mesa
to Mesa on either side of the river. The flats
between General Town and the river, on
which are the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Railroad depot buildings have all been
submerged. The damage to Ysleta, Socorro,
San Elizario and Camp itiez has been propor
tionately great. It is understood that the
American town of Presidio, Texas, near Fort
Seaton, has been nearly destroyed, the flood
washing out the large adobe walled stores of
Russell, Kelly and others.

The Burning of a Leadville Theatre
Costs Three Live*.
Denver, Col., June 19.—A dispatch
from Leadville says: “Yesterday morning
the Zoo Variety Theatre was discovered
to be on lire, and in an incredibly short
space of time the flames had enveloped
the whole building and extended to three
or four small buildings adjoining, all of
which were burned to the ground. Two
firemen were struck by a falling wall.
One was rescued, but will probably die
from the injuries received. The other
perished in the flames. A miner was also
struck by a falling wall and perished.
Both bodies have been recovered. The
loss is $50,000.”

that the Independent* will Rally to
His Standard If He Is Nominated—The
Democracy of the Country Expected
to Rally to the New Yorker at Chicago.
Saratoga, June 19.—The echoes of the
convention are few, and there are only
few decided expressions from men of
prominence still here. Hon. Nelson J. Wat
erbury said this morning that there will
be a strong effort to concentrate on Cleve
land at Chicago. He did not know how
the far West would regard yesterday’s
convention as decisive in placing Cleve
land as the most available can
didate before the country. Gen. Faulk
ner, of Watertown, ' a delegate-at
large and leader of the Flower campaign,
says that 40 of the 76 delegates to Chicago
are anti-Cleveland. Afr. Faulkner con
tinued: “Our forces did not seek a com
promise with the opposition. They fought
us.” Gen. William H. Ludlow, of Suf
folk, said that the result of the convention
is anti-Cleveland. He further claimed
that the Cleveland managers avoided all
test votes.
REJOICING AT WASHINGTON.
Washington, June 19.—The Demo
crats in Congress were as glad to read
the report of the proceedings of the Sara
toga Convention as they were to hear that
Blaine had been nominated. They had
feared a bolt by Tatnmany, a divided dele
gation, and conflicting councils, ending
perhaps In the nomination of a man like
P lower. Instead they read of harmony,
of wise concessions, and a shrewd avoid
ance of all irritating questions. At the
same time they were assured by the Dem
ocratic members of the House, including
one or two of Flower's friends, who
had been in the convention, and who
reached here this afternoon, that the New
York delegation would vote solidly for
Cleveland at Chicago. To cap the climax
came a telegram this afternoon from John
Kelly to Sunset Cox, running: “Every
thing has gone off satisfactorily. Our or
ganization has gotten what it wanted, as
you will see hy the papers. As for our
organization, all are enthusiastic.” So
this anxiety was changed to joy. The
majority of the Democrats in Congress
accept the outcome of the Saratoga Con
vention as indicating the nomination of
Cleveland at Chicago.
THE COUNTRY TO BE SOLID FOR HIM.
They take it that New York will vote
for him solidly, and that from this time
forward he will grow in the West and
South. The friends of Bayard recognize
that Cleveland is ahead, but thev believe
that if Cleveland is set aside Bayard will
take bis place. The friends of the 51c-
Donald-Slocum ticket are doleful. Slo
cum, who is his own boomer for the Presi
dency, is puzzled, and the disappointed
friends of Flower do not understand it at
all. But the great majority of Democrats,
who simply want the best possible
candidate on the best possible platform
—Carlisle, Hewitt, Morrison, Randall,
lucker, S. S. Cox and the other leaders
included—are delighted. So is Col. Theo.
Lyman. But the Blaine Republicans are
disconsolate in spite of their desperate at
tempts to show that the action of the
Saratoga Convention indicates a Flower
triumph. There is a certain class of Re
publicans, too, who are hoping that the
Democrats will nominate a very poor
candidate, in order that thev may have an
excuse for supporting Blaine,’who are
very much troubled by the Democratic
outlook.
THE TENNESSEE DEMOCRACY.
Quibbling Over the Tariff I’lauk In the
Platform.
Nashville, Tenn.. June 19.— At the
Democratic State Convention last
night Hon. J. D. C. Atkinson and Hon.
Robert L. Taylor were chosen eloctors-at
large by acclamation. The discussion on
the majority and minority reports from
the Committee on Platform consumed the
entire evening, and amid great excite
ment tho minority of the committee ac
cepted the enure majority report, but
fearing that it would be liable to iniscon

adding the words, “We favor a tariff for
revenue adequate to the wants of the

to afford fair and reasonable encourage

lhe Democratic Stale Convention reas

entire forenoon was consumed inconsid

W U i ! i l emlj odies features of
the Ohio platform, was tabled, a motion
to table the majority report and recom
mit the whole tariff question to the Na
tional Convention was voted down. The
convention then voted, on a call for tbe
previous question, on the majority report.
The call for the previous question failed
for lack of two-thirds majority, and the
convention adjourned to 3 p. m. The
majority of the delegates to Chicago favor
Cleveland.
The platform goes ou to declare that jus
tice and sound policy forbid the Federal
Government to foster one branch of in
dustrytotbe detriment of another, or to
cherish the interests of one portion of our
common country to the injury of those of
another, and hence we denounce the
present tarift as a masterpiece of injustice,
inequality and lalse pretense. It prohibits
imports that might purchase products of
American labor; it has degraded Ameri
can commerce from the tirst to an inferior
rank on the high seas; it has cut down
the scales of American manufactur
ers at home and abroad and
depleted the returns of American
agriculture and industry, followed by
over half of the American people; it cost
the people five times more than it pro
duces to the Treasury; obstructs pro

INDIANA SAFE.
Mr. Calkins’ Nomination Foreshadows
Democratic Victory In the State.
Washington, June 19.—The announce
ment here this afternoon that Congress
man Calkins had been nominated for Gov
ernor of Indiana by the Republicans
greatly pleased the Independent Demo
crats. They say that with a decent nomi
nation at Chicago the State is sale next
fall for tbe Democrats. The Republicans
admit privately that their case is not a
hopeful one. Mr. Calkins is very popular,
but not with either the extreme pro
hibitionists or the extreme anti-prohibi
tionists. Then he is not such an organizer
as Mr. Dudley, who was also a
candidate for the nomination. Mr.
Dudley did mors to carry the
State of Indiana in 1880 than all the
other Republican campaigners put to
gether, btephen W. Dorset* and his crisp
two-dollar notes not excluded. Mr. Dud
ley is one of the best organizers in the
country. He will, of course, support
Calkins cordially, but his duties as Com
missioner of Pensions are very engross
ing. One thing that shows how desperate
the Republicans consider their chances of
carrying the State of Indiana in the fall is
the fact that they asked Postmaster Gen
eral Gresham to take the nomination,
Dudley and Calkins beingwilllng to with
draw for that purpose. The Postmaster
General refused, so they enter the race
handicapped.

HU Presence on the Floor of the House
Not Considered a Breach of Privilege
by the Speaker— He Did Not Resort to
HU Barrel.
W ashington, June 19. —The investiga
tion by the special committee of the House
into the allegations that Hon. W. H.
English and other ex-members of the
House had made improper use of their
privileges of the floor has been commenced
to-day. A great many persons were heard
by the committee, though their state
ments can scarcely be called testimony.
Some are members of the present and
others are ex-Congrossmeu who are now
practicing law in Washington. All dis
claimed violation of the rule of the
House against lobbying by persons having
the privileges of the floor. To-day William
H. English. Sr., took the stand. After
being put through a cross-examination
covering the object of his
presence in Washington, and every
thing he has done here,
the examination reached the actual point
of tho investigation, as to whether Mr.
English had induced Mr. Weller, of Ohio,
to nbsent himself from his seat when the
vote was being taken as<o whether I’eell*
or English, the son, should have the sent,
Ihe question was asked: “Did vou ever
have a talk with Mr. Weller iu the cloak
room ?”
im> NOT TRY TO INFLUENCE WELLER.
“I did not; and I want to say that Mr.
Bayne's statement, in his B|>eech on the
floor of the House, is false. 1 neither di
rectly or indirectly tried to iniluenoe Mr.
Weller, and any statement that I did is
wholly destitute of truth. If l had met
Mr. Weller going out of the room 1 would
have asked him to stay.”
“Did you take counsel about the pro
priety of your going on the floor of the
House)I'’ 1 '’ asked Mr. Rogers.
“It did irtit occur to me that my going
was a violation of the rule. After going
on the floor 1 heard a Republican member
say that it was a violation. I went to
Speaker Carlisle and asked him if 1 was
violating the rule by being on the floor
and speaking with such members as
I desired about rav son’s case.
I said that I was interested as a father.
Democrat and citizen, but that l had no
pecuniary interest. Ho thought that 1
was not violating the rule. If 1 did or
said anything in violation, I am frank to
say, gentlemen, that l regret it. 1 don’t
hesitate to say that when conversing with
gentlemen I did present my son’s case as
well as 1 could. At one time I thought
that I could not remain on the floor, lie
cause it might be an Injury to my son, but
the impropriety of the thing did not occur
to me.”
HIS PECULIAR INFLUENCE.
“Did you ever know a candidate tor the
V ice presidency being on the floor of the
House?” asked Mr. Millard, of New York.
“I never knew one to have a son elected
to Congress. I thought that this was an
exception, and that 1 had the privilege of
the House.”
“Did it occur to you that your promi
nence would have a sort of influence
among the Democratic members?”
“If I hail any influence at all I thought
that it would be to show that I believed
my son’s case to be a fair one.”
“Didn’t you think that your barrel was
larger than l’eello’s?”
“As to the barrel business, I know noth
ing about that.”
“If you’ll bring up the barrel, 111 tell
you sortie thing about Indiana soap,” in
terposed Mr. Henley, a Democrat, ad
dresssing himself to Mr. Millard, a Re
publican.
Mr. English, in answer to an inquiry,
expressed suiprise that no Republican
voted against l*eelle, and the committee
adtourned.
