Washington, June 4.—Cox, of North
Carolina, called up as a question of privi
lege the report of the committee on civil
service reform relative to the appropriation
for the improvement of the levees of Jeffer
sonville, Ind. The report is accompanied
bv a resolution dismissing L. P. warder,
assistant doorkeeper, from the service of
the house.
Ward, of Indiana, offered a substitute
resolution declaring that the evidence in
this case does not sustain the charges, that
it is improper for an officer or employe
of the house to seek to Influence
legislation, either directly or indirectly,
and that the action of Warder, as agent of
the clt.v of Jeffersonville, at the time when
it is said Warder was an employe of the
house in securing the services of an at tor
ney for the purpose of influencing legisla
tion, is disapproved by the house.
After a long and sharp debate, Ward
withdrew his resolution, and Oates, of Ala
bama offered in lieu thereof, a resolution
declaring that the conduct itf Luther P.
Warder, being at the time an employe of
the house, in receiving money
from the city of Jeffersonville, Indi
ana. to employ council to influence tin-
legislation of congress, was a gross impro
priety, and expressing the emphatic con
demnation of the house thereof, Dut stating
that the evidence adduced, in the opinion
of the house, does not require his expul
sion from the office he holds. This resolu
tion was agreed to—yeas 140, nays 67.
Boutelle, of Maine, introduced a bill re
lating to the duties on fish. Referred.
The bill repeals and strikes from the free
list the paragraphs providing for the free
importation of fish fresh for immediate
consumption, fish sounds or fish bladders,
fish tongues, cod sounds, hake
sounds, fish skins and shrimp, or other
shell fish, under the schedule of provisions,
it increased the duty on mackerel from
one to two oents per pound; on herring,
pickled or salted, from one-half to one
cent per pound; on salmon pickled, and
other fish pickled in barrels and salted cod
sounds, from one to two cents per pound;
on foreign caught fish, imported otherwise
than in barrels or half barrels, whether
fresh, smoked, dried, snlted or pickled, r.ot
specially enumerated or provided for, from
five cents to ten cents per hundred pounds;
on anchovies and sardines in boxes, in
creased from ten, five and two and a half
cents per box to fifteen, seven
and a half and four cents pci-
box; when imported in any other form
than in tin boxes increased from 40 to 50
percent, ad valorem. The paragraph pro
viding for adulteration, tin cans containing
free fish, is stricken out. The duty on fish
preserved in oil, other than anchovis and
sardines, is increased from 30 to 40 uer
cent, ad valorem, and on salmon and ail
other fish prepared or preserved from 25 to
30 per cent, ad valorem. The act is to
take effet thirty days after approval.
Houtelle says in reference to the hill that
the so-called (retaliatory provision recently
added by congress to the shipping liili,
however proper and justifiable, will not
lie regarded with much concern by the
Canadians, as they do not care much fur
the privilege of purchasing bait or sup
plies in our ports. He proposes, therefore,
to deal with the fishery question practical
ly by terminating the free importation of
fish and increasing the import duties on nil
fish, thus compelling the Canadians to pay
more for the privilege of selling their fish
ill the United States.
The house then, at 4:40, took a recess
until 8 o’clock, the evening session to lie
for the consideration of pension hills.
The house at its evening session passed
seventeen pension bibs, and at 11:30 o’clock
adjourned until to-morrow. During the
course of the evening Wheeler, of Ala
bama, made a bitter attack upon Star.ton
for his action when secretary of war.
which excited some comment and which
will probably be replied to some time in
the future.
SENATE.
Tn the senate Ingalls offered a resolution,
which on objection by Beck went, over till
to-morrow, calling on the secretary ol the
interior to inform the senate wlietliei a
certain circular has been issued by the
commissioner of the general laud office
with the approval of the secretary of tin-
interior. The resolution recites iii full the
recent circular to registers and receivers of
land offices, slating that no new applica
tions for entry under the preemption, tim
ber culture, or desert land acts would be
received Wending legislation by-congress,
an a repeal ol'those acts. The resolution
then proceeds to direct the secretary of t lie
interior to Inform the senate by what act
it was claimed congiess had delegated to
the commissioner of the general land - .ItK p
or to the secretary of the interior, or to
those officers jointly, the power to suspend
by executive order the operation through
out the United States of the pre-emption
timber culture and desert land nets, and to
deny to citizens of tlie United States their
rights under said acts.
On motion of Ednnids, the Chinese in
demnity bill was taken up, but was in
formally laid asideat the request of Allison
to permit tin: consideration of the consular
and diplomatic appropriation bill.
At 2 o’clock the consular and diplomatic
appropriation bill went over and the Chi
nese indemnity bill was taken up. Cock
rell took the- floor in opposition to the bill.
At the conclusion of Cockrell’s speech the
bill passed—yeas 36, nays 10. The senators
voting in the negative were Beck, Berry,
Cockrell, Coke, Enstis, George, Harris,
Maxey. Mitchell, of Oregon, and Vest.
The bill authorizes the president to as
certain the losses sustained by the China
men by the riot at Rock Springs, Wyo
ming, in September, 1885, and to pay such
losses. The amount appropriated by the
bill for that purpose is *150,000.
The senate then resumed consideration
of the consular and diplomatic appropria
tion bills. On reaching the appropriation
of *2,270 as the American contribution to
the maintenance of the international
bureau of weights and measures, Congflr
attacked the item with ridicule and with
an appeal to the national feelings of the
senators. After an explanation of them
by Allison and Evarts, Conger moved to
strike it out. This motion was lost—yeas
1. Conger, nays 42. [Great laughter.]
The senate at 5:30, without finishing the
bill, adjourned until to-inorrow.
Secretary Aluuiilng's Resignation Nut Aeeeptett.
Washington, June 4.—Secretary Man
ning on May 20th handed President Cleve
land his resignation as secretary of the
treasury, stating that his health would not
permit the early resumption of the active
duties of the office. On June 1st the presi
dent replied, declining to accept Man
ning’s resignation at present and asking
him instead to take a leave of absence till
October 1st, when the subject may lie re
newed if Manning remains in the same
mind as now. Manning will leave Wash
ington to-morrow evening for an extended
stay at the Hot Springs of Virginia.

Washington. June 4.—About a thou
sand cards announcing the marriage of the
president were sent out from the white
house to-day by mail messengers and
otherwise. The cards arc exceedingly .
simple and pluim engraved in heavy lines
on a full sheet of fine note paper. They
read as follows:
| "Mr. Grover Cleveland and Miss Francis
Folsom were married on Wednesday, June
1 2d, 1S86, Washington.
These announcements were sent to mem
bers of the cabinet, justices of the supreme
court, senators and representatives in con

of the army, admiral or the navy and other
I officials in Washington, and tii personal
friends of the president and Mrs. Cleveland

Washington, June 2. The secretary of
the navy says that vessels of the north At- I
j lactic squadron have been under orders for
several days to prepare for ssa. They will
go easterly as usual and report for further
orders at Portland, Maine. They will visit |
fisheries under instructions from the de- ;
partment, and it is hoped will help to allay |
rather than arouse the existing antagon
ism. The secretary conferred with Ad
miral Jouett upon't he subject when in
New York recently.

this afternoon received a telegram from
Consul General Phelan, of Halifax, as fol

New Yohk, June 4. -When yesterday
morning's sun was two hours higli anarch
ist Johann Most began to earn a living by
stringing u sledge in the blacksmith's miop
in Hie penitentiary on Blackwell’s island.
Adolph Sehenek will work in the shoe
shop, while Richard BrauneiiAveig, the
other anarchist, will work a Jack, plane in
the carpenter’s shop. The three anarch
ists were sent to the penitentiary Wednes
day by Recorder Smyth, Part'll, of Ihe
court of general sessions. Their counsel
exhausted their ingenuity ii: moving for a
new trial upon four different grounds. It
was claimed that the conviction was
against the evidence; that It was against
the weight of evidence; that the intro
duction of Most’s books and papers as
evidence was in error,,and that errors
were committed in the charge to tlie jury.
Recorder Hmyth promptly denied the
motion, and called up the prisoners for
sentence. "Most, Sehenek and Braun
schweig,'' said lie, "alter a fair and impar
tial trial, before an intelligent jury, you
vveie properly convicted of the first count
in the indictment. 1 shall respect, as 1
uniformly do, the recommendation to
mercy made by the jury. In view of that
recommendation i shall not impose .so
severe a penalty us i would otherwise feel
it my duty to do. The evidence in the ease
discloses a state of facts which calls upon
courts and juries to do everything wttnin
the law to punish tlie offense ol'which you
have been guilty. You, Most, have al
ready served terms in prison in other
lands from which you were driven on ac
count of the doctrines that you preached
and your efforts to stir up 'others to the
commission of grave crimes. 1 regret most
sincerely that the law does not permit me
to impose upon you what I should deem
adequate punishment. You have advo
cated poison, murder and arson. You
have made addresses to ignorant foreigners
urging them to resort to these awful
crimes against individual citizens and
against society. You have gone so far as
to instruct domestic servants how to man
ufacture and administer poison to their
employers."

Chicago, June 4.—There was a report
this morning at Cummings that the Rock
Island railroad would move four cars load
ed with nails made by the low men at
the Cummings nail works. As several of
the strikers had been enjoined from inter
fering in any W’ay with the working of
the mills, the removal of these cars was
prevented in a peculiar way. Ten o’clock
was the hour when the engines were ex
pected up from South Chicago, and before
that hour women and children to the num
ber of 200, the wives and families
of the former employes, assembled with
sticks in their hands around the terminus
of the road track and opposite to the en
trance of the nail works. Females were
sent down tlie track towards South Chi
cago to apprize the party of the engines’
approach. While these were keeping
guard a contingent was dispatched to the
residence of Tom Belhel, a non-union man,
who was moving to Colekour for safety.
Mrs. Belliel was alone superintending the
parking of household goods when she was
startled by llie beating of tin pans and
wild bootings and calls. Several win
dows were smashed by bowlders, and she
was berated roundly by the women and j
children until the police dispersed the pur- ]
ty. They returned to the depot and at the ,
I same time one of the pickets came run-
| ning breathlessly along the track, waving (
j her shawl and shouting, "To llie cars!” j
This was signalling the approach of the
engine. Then there was a rush to where j
j the loaded cars wore standing. Mothers !
I with infants in their arms and dragging,
| the youngsters by band, hurried along. All (
| ages were represented. Mothers grouped ■
I their little ones along the tnti k i
some distance ahead of the first
I freight cal- and placed them according to I
age or. the rails, the youngest toward the
j approaching engines, tlie mothers and
i grown up daughters taking a position in '
' the rear. The engineer steamed up slowly,
! but seeing the living obstacle on the track.
] reversed and returned to Chicago. Then ,
; the Amazons dispi rsed and on tlicii return i
| jeered and abused the representatives of
tlie company at the gate, calling them,the '
most appmiirious names, the police, by [
I their presence, only preventing the inflic- j
: tion of violence by tin infuriated women, i
| At 2, when the engines appeared again,
| fully 2000 women and children were |
thronging the tracks and apparently as de- I
termir.ed as before to hold them. Captain
Hunt, with sixty policemen from Hyde
park, had reported in the meantime I
and attempted to clear the track,
j but could do so only with ,
| great difficulty. Tlie women feeling
sure they would not be clubbed, refused to I
move, or moved A ery slowly when told to i
do so, ami closed up again on the tracks
unless absolutely held buck by the officers, j
I The engines were unable to get by them j
, without killing them. The greatest ex- j
citement prevailed and all attempts made j
j to move the cars proved futile.
Ken,-ii I mi the Strike.
New York, June 4.—For several days
' there was nothing of.incident to note in
the strike of the Third avenue railroad
employes. Cars were running with a full
; complement of drivers and conductors, and
I the strike was looked upon as practically
1 ended. To-day, however, two of the new
drivers on the cars running from Ilarlem
I to Sixty-fifth street jumped from their
cars at Ninety-fourth street and ran away.
About the same time one driver and three
i conductors abandoned their cars at Grand
j street. A temporary blockade of the line
was caused. It is rumored that others of
the men who have taken the places of tlie I
I strikers will also abandon their cars at va- |
rious points along the line.

LABORERS ASSAl'LTED BY ORANGEMEN.
Belfast, May 4.—The Orange workmen
employed at, the Queensland shipyard here I
to-dRy attacked the laborers employed by |
the harbor commissioners, and after over
powering them und beating them badly,
drove them into the water. It was w ith
the greatest difficulty that they were res- I
cued. Six were so seriously hurt that they |
had to be removed to hospitals. One is
still missing, and it is believed that he w as :
drowned. The Orangemen made the i
assault because the laborers, it was alleged, ,
flail previously attacked some loyalist for
opposing the home rule bill movement.

The recorder paused a moment, and,
iooking intently at Most, continued: "A
more wicked and atrocious scoundrel than
you are does not disgrace the face of this
earth ! It is well that men of your charac
ter, views and opinions should be taught
that although the laws of this land are
merciful, they will be upheld at any cost,
and that those who violate or attempt to
violate them will be punished with severi
ty. In my judgment it is useless to waste
further words upon a man of your charac
ter. The sentence of the court is that you
be ini prisoned at hard labor for one year
and pay a fine of £500. the extreme penalty
of the law, and stand committed one day
for each dollar until the fine is paid.
“There is some distinction, Braunscb-
iveig,” continued the recorder, “between
your case and that of Most. Although
during the trial you went on the witness
stand and denied thut you approved of the
doctrines preached by Most at the unlaw
ful assembly in Germaniu hall I have evi
dence before me that satisfies me that you
not only approved of those utterances, but
at a subsequent meeting promulgated the
identical doctrine that, had previously
fallen from the lips of Most. Still, you
are not a man of the education and expe
rience of Most, and have not the capac
ity for evil that he has. Therefore 1
shall exercise some discrimination.”
Braunschweig was sent to the penitentiary
for nine months and ordered to pay a fine
of |250.
"As to you, Sehenek,” said the recorder,
in conclusion, “there was some evidence
at the trial that you are a man of previous
good character. Yet upon the witness
stand you admitted tint you were an tut-
archist and believed in the doctrine
preached, if not practiced, by anarchists.
Still at the meeting you took no further
part than to preside and to introduce Most
as the speaker of the evening.” Sehenek
was given nine months’ imprisonment,
without fine.
The prisoners were sent to the Tombs,and
in the afternoon were hustled into a van
and conveyed to the penitentiary. Most
said on the way over that if the keepers on
the island were all like “that crazy lunatic
Smyth,” he would have a hard time of it.
Most is not considered a handsome man,
but when tie came out of the penitentiary
barber’s hands with a smooth face and
clad in the prison uniform he was posi
tively repulsive. The anarchists were
gi\-cn their first meal ill the prison at 2:30'
o’clock. It consisted of bread and coffee,
and il is all thcywillgutiinl.il breakfast
this morning. Most was assigned to cell No.
16 on t lie first tier of tlie old prison; Sehenek
to cell No. 8. fltHi tier, ,,n tlie opposite
side of tin- old prison, and Braunschweig
to cell No 11 in the n«‘W prison. Most will
tie set at work this morning in the black
smith's shop drilling holes in iron.
Sehenek will work in the shoemaker’s
shop, and Braunschweig a-, ill lie put at his
old trade, that of carpenter. The cells
and shops of tlie anarchists are far apart,
and they ivill have little opportunity for
communication. Deputy Warden Osborne
thought that they would make good pris
oners and give no trouble. If they behave

The os' i.f the staff of the Freiheit and

day at the office of the paper, at No. 167
William street. They said that the paper
would continue to lie published just the
same as though Most ivere at liberty. But
they could not tell whether he would edit
the paper from Blackwell’s Island or even
contribute to it. If permission M ere given
him to send articles to the Freiheit tie
would certainly do so.
the bills counterfeits. There’were thre
female servants in the house,one of ivhom,
the cook, ivas a sister of the finder of the
money, and the other helped do tlie up
stairs work. The latter, when her fellow
servant gave her a |10() bill, threw it Into
her dust pan and burned it up. The sis
ters then went home in the evening and
gave the remaining bills, one each, to their
two brothers, and to a couple of young
boys who live ivith the family.
The mother of this interesting family,
who can neither read nor write, when
visited by the owner of the money said,
“It was no money,” and upon being assured
that such a statement was nonsense, re
plied: “Indade, mum, there wasn’t a bit of
grace among ’em. It ivas white money,
ivery bit.”
One brother, who works in a grocery
store, had given a “counterfeit” to a fellow
clerk, and the detective found it pasted in
the window. The other brother, when
found, was too much under the influence
of liquor to make any intelligible answers,
and the two “young boys’” have not yet
beed found.
THE PRESIDENT AND BRIDE.

of Reporters muI llrli'i-tlvt-H.
Pittsburg, June 4.—The Chronicle-Tel
egraph’s Deer Park special says: The cot
tage up in the grove back of the hotel, in
which the president and his bride are
spending their honeymoon is in a state of
siege. An army of newspaper men are en
trenched in the B. and O. depot, 200 yards
from the cottage and in full view of it. Ail
army of B. and (). detectives are seated on
benches andtree stumps within 100 yards
of the cottage, and thus far only one person
has succeeded in getting to the cottage,
that being ex-8enator Henry Davis.
Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland remained in the
cottage most of the morning. Mrs. Cleve
land appeared on the porcli about 10
o’clock, and sat there reading the papers,
for the best monel of General Leo was
awarded to tlie artist and designer of one
of these; but, as far ns public sentiment re
garding them can be ascertained, none of
these models will lie acceptable, though
all of them, ns before stated in tho Herald,
arc meritorious, and some of them highly
so.
SOON TO BE BUILT.
In the meantime still another act nf the
legislature had been passed authorizing the j
two monument associations to consolidate |
should they ever feel inclined to do so. i
They did not- nor would not consolidate. |
In this way the mutter has gone along ;
through years in a slipshod, go-as-you- I
please sort of way, and it was not until
General Fitzhugh Lee had been elected
governor that the matter was taken in j
hand in a serious, businesslike manner. I |
can now inform the reader that the oree- j
tion of the monument to General Lee has [
become a fixed fact, to be accomplished in \
the very near future: that, ample funds j
will be forthcoming from time to time as |
they are needed to defray all expenses; |
that the monument will be grand in con- |
ception, characteristic in design and highly
artistic in execution and finisli, and thataii
artist w hose fame is worldwide by reason
of his grand achievement in Virginia ul-
ready will probably tie selected to design
and execute the model for tlie monument.
THE ASSOCIATION IN HARMONY.
But to return to the governor, who, while
speaking quite freely, did not allow him
self to bubble out into enthusiastic expres
sions. He was deliberate in what he did
say, and left unsaid much more, which he
did not wish to say at present.
“Governor, have you any objection to
stating how you are getting nlong with the
Lee monument for the benefit of the pub- |
lie?” |
“Oh, no,” said the governor, “1 am hap
py to say we are making some progress to- |
ward erecting a monument to Genera) Lee
in this city. The different associations
which had collected money for that pur
pose have now been consolidated and the
whole subject is in charge of the board of

dent. Mrs. Cleveland seemed amused and i
interested at the candor of newsgathere j
and detectives around her. The president
caine out for a few minutes ut ter his bride
retiredj and did not appear to notice what
was going on about him.
At 1 o’clock Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland
walked over to Senator Davis’cottage for
lunch. No one ventured to intrude on the
pair as they walked slowly over half a mile
of tanbark walks between the houses.
Senator Davis and liis wife were the only
companions of President nnd Mrs. Cleve
land at lunch, and at 2 o’clock the senator’s
bay team and double-seated buggy con
veyed the party lip the broad road to Oak
land. They turned nt the edge of town
and name back.
The only incident that has occurred to
show any attempt at courtesy was tin-,
sending of a handsome basket of trout to
tlie president by Dr. McC'nnias, of Oakland,
V. ho in turn was cordially thanked by the
president.

“lias the board selected a design for the

in that direction, except, to look at a num

A DISTINGUISHED HONOR.
“Who will probably deliver the address
on the occasion ?”
“The orator for the occasion lias already
been selected by the. board of managers.
The gentleman upon whom the choice has
fallen Is Colonel Charles Marshall, who
ivas formerly one of the aides-de-camp and
the private secretary to General Robert E.
Lee during the war. iIf. is now an emi
nent lnivyer of Baltimore, and having been
so closely associated ivith General Lee
through those four years of the war, be
sides being a fine speaker and writer, the
selection ivas unanimously determined
upon.”
A LANDMARK OK HIS ADMINISTRATION.
“Now, governor, whqii do you think the
monument ivill bo completed?”
"That question is difficult to answer.
Monuments and great works of art of this
description require time—often a great
length of time. Much, to he sure, depends
upon the rapidity of tho artist, the luiild-
ers and others selected to do the work.
M v object is to do whatever I can to lini'c
such a monument unveiled during my ad
ministration us governor, feeling of course
a natural pride in having the erection or
Huoli n monument ns one of the landmarks
of my administration.”

THE HOME RULE BILL.
London, June 4.— Gladstone, replying to
Thomas Henry Belton, liberal member for
North St. Raul, in the house of commons
tills evening said: “I hold it to be indis
putable, indeed elementary, that the vot
ing of the second reading of the home rule
bill will affirm only the principle of the
establishment of an Irish legislative body
to transact business concerning purely
Irish us distinct from imperial affairs. The
government consider and hold thoinselves
free to accept any proposal which may be
submitted to them previous to
the autumn session consistent with
the former condition which they
consider essential to a solution of the ques
tion, including IriHli representatives at
Westminster, to take part in the discussion
nnd settlement of imperial business. The
government are not only at liberty, but
they are in duty bound, to consider any
such amendments.” This statement, it
was thought in tlie lobbies of the house of
commons to-night, would cause a number
of waverers to decide to vote for the bill
and possibly secure its socond reading.

Nf.w York, May 4.—There was a con
siderable covering of shorts last night and
this morning. There was very little news
in the morning to affect values, and the
market, after a Arm opening,was heavy for
a short time. After 11 o’clock the market,
under increased activity, moved up steadi
ly until the last hour. There was then a
decline of small fractions, but the market
closed firm near the best figures ofthe day.
Attention is bring called to the tact that
the late principal favorites in speculation
ure ill a measure taking a second place and
new favorites are coming forward. Rich

Boston, June 4. - It is not often that gen

persons have calmly tossed jkiOO from one
to another, burning them and giving them
away with reckless extravagance. One
woman received a present of a *100 silver
certificate to use for curl papers, but she
threw it into the stove. Now she wishes
she had saved it.
This extraordinary case of ignorance oc
curred in u boarding house here a few days
ago. A lady from a western city came to
Boston about four weeks ago for her health,
and took board in un excellent locality.
Her property was in bonds. She was ac
customed to receive the income from time
to time in bills of large denominations. At
this time she had with her seven *100 silver

THE CORNER STONE TO BE LAID IN OCTO

“When do you propose to lay the corner
stone ? ”
“The date for that has already been fixed I
upon, for we have named Saturday, the !
23d of October next, as the day. The Vir- j
ginia troops will be in camp here during that 1
week. The annual state fair begins on
Wednesday, October 20, and ends on Fri
day, 22d, so that the corner stone will be
laid on. the day after the termination of
the fair and during fair week. It ivas -
thought that would be the best time, lie-
cause the military encampment and the
fair would both take place during the same
week.”
