Washington, June 28.—The legislative
appropriation bill reported from the senate
committee this morning proposes a net in
crease of $131,000 in the appropriations as
compared with the house bill. The prin
cipal items of increase are an addition of
$150,000 in the provision for collecting in
ternal revenue and a:i appropriation of ,
$23,000 for senators’secretaries. The pro- .
vision in the house bill fora continuance

until the subject can be investigated.

The crowd moved hack surlily, and mo- j
mentarily increased in numbers. Some l
resistance was shown in moving ofl'the road, I
and one man was severely eaten by
a policeman. The excitement increased
and by 9 o’clock the crowd was ready for
anything. Shortly after 9 o’clock the town
of Lake police cleared the tracks and the ,
streets leading to them of the crowds who
were on them. Just after this Pinkerton
with 124 of his men appeared on the scene.
Many of them were armed with Winches- ;
ter rid es.
11 a. m.—There are fully 200 police and
specials stationed along the Lake Shore
tracks between 41st and 45th streets. ,
About 100 are regular police of the town of
Lake and the Pinkerton police and nearly
100 specials in the employ
of the Lake Shore road, the
latter of whom are armed with
Springfield breech-loading imn LcU. These
men are guaiding the roundhouse tracks
of the Lake Shore road at intervals of fif ty
yards, and no one is allowed to approach
tiie switches or property of the railroad.
Deputy Sheriff Gleason appeared at
Forty-first street shortly after 10 o’clock,
accompanied by six deputies. This is the
lirst time since the strike began that any
of the representatives of the sheriff' have
bees on the ground. The chief deputy
read Ihe riot ac t at four points along the
line of the* Lake Shore road between
Forty-first street and Englewood and

clear the track. The crowd moved off'
quietly after the rending of the act, and
up to 11 o’c lock everything remained quiet
in the vicinity of the railroad track from
the city limits as far south as Englewood.
The Lake Shore company succeeded in
making up a train of fourteen freight ami
caboose cars and started south at 11:55
without molestation. A few minutes be
fore the train started five of the strikers
ventured in the yards at Forty-third street,
and refusing to move, were handled

Chicago, June 2.8.—The Central Labor
Union picnic at the Sharp Shooters’ grove
yesterday afternoon to raise* funds for the*
defense of the anarchists was a very harm
less and peaceful affair. There were be
tween 2500 and 3000 people there, and in
most instances the* men were aecompunied
by their wives and families, who had
brought their lunches with them, and who
enjoyed it, sitting under the* trees. Seve
ral detectives were present, but
had nothing to do. There*
was a stand in tin* grounds,
on which were exhibited plaques with the
bust of August Spies on each, and the
motto, “For the sake of the cause.” Those
were sold for fifty cents, while photo
graphs of Spies and i'arsons brought twen
ty-live cents each. Among the socialists
present were* Oscar Neehe, Ferdinand
Chris mid Henry Spies, Miss Spies. Mrs.
Parsons. Trick, cashier of the Arbieior
Zcitung, Thomas Grief and other lesser
lights. Late. in the after
noon Oscar Net be mounted the
band stand. He spoke in German,
and said they had met together outside
the city of Chicago to enjoy themselves
and were not subjects to the laws of that
city. Though several of the blood hounds
from there were present, tiny did not car-
tor them and could tifi (in in to go to t lie

A man in tin* south Chicago

charged from the Nie kcl Elate shops two
weeks ago. Captain Hunt has a state war
rant for him for robbery. Kearns is the
engineer who was in charge of the Mil
waukee and St. Paul engine captured by
the strikers and used in pursuing the Lake
Shore train. Kearns claims that the st rikers
placed the muzzles of two revolvers
to his head and threatened him w ith death
in ease of a refusal to do their bidding.
A local paper says that a new’ stock job
bing scheme lias neen discovered in con
nection with the riots. An enterprising
firm of New York stock brokers since the
strike begun has representatives on the
grounds and every attempt by the officers
to move a train is instantly reported t<> the
central office.
The Lake Shore company has at last suc
ceeded in getting a freight train started
from the yards at Koat street. At 12:15

Patrick Henry, the great Virginia ora
tor, called in Ins day “the Demosthenes of
America,” is described as having been
nearly six feet high, with a slight stoop of
the shoulders, bis complexion dark, sun
burned and sallow, his forehead high, his
blucish-grey eyes overhung by heavy eye
brows, and his mouth and chin indicative 1
of firmness. His delivery was natural and
well-timed, and his manners were digni
fied. He spoke with great deliberation,
never recalling or recasting sentences as
in? went along, n* r substituting a word for
a better one. His voice was not remarka
ble for its swe etness, but it was firm, ami
he never indulged in continuous and deaf
ening vociferation. Every schoolboy is
familiar wi!h his wonderful appeal to con
gress to offer armed resistance to Great
Britain ending, “give me liberty or give
me d» nth.”
liich.iid Henry Lee, measured by tin
classic standard of oratory, was the Cicero
of the continental congress. Tlie culti
vated graces of bis rhetoric, we are to d,
received and reflected beauty by their con
trast with bis colleague's grander effusions,
bis polished pt rinds rolling along without
effort and filling the ear with the most ex
quisite harmony.
Alexander Hamilton, of New* York,
small in stature, possessed a mind of im
mense grasp and unlimited original re
sources, of such rapid thought that lu
seemed at times to reach his conclusions
by a species of intuition. He would catch
the principle involved in a discussion as if
by instinct, and adhere rigidly to that,
quite sure that thereby the details were
certain to lit* right. Kufus King, one of
his c olleagues, was the possessor of an un
commonly vigorous mind, highly culti
vated by study, and lie spoke with dignity,
conciseness and force. His arguments
were so logically arranged that as they had
convinced him they ensried conviction to
others.
John Rutledge, of South Carolina, was
probably the most cultivated orator in the
continental congress. His ideas. .Ramsey
tells us, were clear and strong, his utter
ance rapid but distinct; his voice, action
and energetic manner of speaking forcibly
impressed his s» nt intents on t he minds and
hearts of all who heard him. At reply he
was quick; instantly comprehending the
force of an objection and seeing at once
the best mode of weakening or repelling if.
During ihe first fifty years of the exis
tence of the “senate and house of repre
sentatives in congress assembled,” un
der the constitution, th *re were no
verbatim reporters, and the congres
sional orators poured forth their breathing
thoughts and burning words in polish 'd
and eloquent language. business was
transacted in a conver-utional manner, and
when set speeches were occasionally made
they were listened to with attention. The
first written speu i. was read in tin T’nited
States senate by the Hon. Issue Hill, of
New Hampshire, a firm .supporter of Gen,
Jackson. When about half through he
suddenly lost the thread of hi* discour-e
and stopped, evidently embarrassed. TJis
wife, wlio sat in the gallery almost direct
ly owr him. comprehended the situation,
and said in a voice heard all over tin*
senate chamber, “Mr. Hill, you'vi tunn el
over two leaves at once.” He immediatelv
corrected Ids mistake and proceeded with
his remarks amid a roar of laughter.
Daniel Webster was not an extempor i-
neous speaker, and be aiway* prepared
himself with great care for Ids speeches
in the senate and bis arguments
before Hu* supreme court. Always
careful about ids personal appearance
when be was to address an audience, he
used, after he had reached the zenith of
his fame, to wear the costume of the
British whigs a blue dress oat with
bright buttons, a buff waistcoat, black
trousers and a high, white cravat, with
standing shirt collar. A man of command
ing presence, with a well knii. sturdy
frame, swarthy features, a broad, thought
ful forehead, courageous eye*, gleaming
from beneath shaggy < yebrows. .i qu m l-
rangular breadth of jawbone, and a mouMi
which bespoke strong will, he stood .'ike a

New York, June 28.—The market wan
strong at the opening, the first prices show
ing advances of 4 to Northwestern was
up i. and Pacific Mail down J. Business
was only moderate, and though there were
further small advances, the market soon
became weak, and by 10:30 declined A to 4
in the general list, though Grangers were
particularly weak. At this time, »St. Paul
and Omaha each lost and Northwestern
14. The market later became very dull,
but generally firm, making small advances
during the afternoon of &
to L Louisville and Nashville howr-
ever, became more active after 12 o’clock
and was decidedly strong, advancing U be
fore 1 o’clock, but later when the* market
gave way and later a slight reaction, be
came extremely dull and steady at a de
cline, closing heavy. The bulls claim that
as the market does not break upon the
bad news received, it will go up faston
’good news coupled with steady money.
Tlie bears claim the market is unnatural,
controlled by cliques and that bad new s
will tell in time.
