Washington, July 16.—Randall, Arum i of July, the provision! of the io resolution providing temporarily (until to day) for the expenditures of the govern ment. Dunham, of Illinois, wished it to be un derstood that so far a* the house was con cerned, the appropriation bills necessary to carry on the gave passed. government had been Milliken, of Maine, inquired how many more of these Joint resolutions would be brought in. Randall replied that as many as were needed would be brought in. Denham remarked that they would be brought in as long as the senate delayed the appropriation bills. Millllcen said .the bills were delayed in the senate because they had been delayed 1 in the houBe. The joint resolution was passed. The District of Columbia business was then in order and the remainder of the day was spent in the discussion of the act in corporating the street car railway compa ny of Washington. Every conceivable style of amendment was offered, most of them only to be rejected. On every amend meut the question of no quorum was raised, necessitating a vote by tellers or a call of the house. Pending further action Morrison, from the committee on rules, reported a reso lution ordering night sessions for to-day and Saturday, to-night’s session being for the consideration of the labor business and Saturday for the consideration of business reporter! from the committee on printing. Agreed to. Holman submitted the conference report oil the legislative appropriation Dill. Pending action the house, at 5 o’clock, took a recess until 8 o’clock. At the evening session the house passed the following bills reported from the com mittee on labor: To prevent the employment of convict labor and alien labor upon public buildings and other public works. Amending the act to prohibit the impor tation and immigration of foreigners and aliens under contract or agreement to per form labor in the United States. To protect mechanics, laborers and ser vants in the District of Columbia in their wages. A senate bill providing tor the payment of per diem to government employes for decoration day and the 4th of July. Directing the commissioner of labor to make an investigation in regard to convict labor in the United States. The bill extending the provisions" of the eight-hour law to letter carriers, gave rise to some opposition, and pending action the house, at 11 o’clock, adjourned. reported by the committee oat oommerce of the whole (800,00b more, and that the amount under the proposed 36 per cent, reduction would be 114,0001100. ynSSSE&tss oMillaa said the committed be- in order to mean aay rive? and at this cession it was nsesmary to reduce the amount*. Eustis said that the senator from danger l not exist in this b >dy, Washington. July 15.—Pugh, from the I in tl McMillan—“ltd as I believe." Eustis—“Have you any more speoifle in formation as to danger ‘elsewhere,’ what ever that may mean, than other members of the committee have?" , McMillan—“I have no more speoifle in formation.” The debate was for some time continued in an effort to ascertain whether the com mittee on commerce had been influenced to offer this proposition by a knowledge, fear or suspicion that it might save the bill from danger elsewhere. The committee came in for a good deal of criticism from out and out supporters of the bill led by Eustis. The latter in reply to a direct question from Butler, said he was the “through thick and thin” friend of the bill in season and out of season. Eustis accused the committee of being afraid to confront the enemy, who ever he may be, and afraid to face the Are. Miller appealed to the friends of the bill to rally to the support of the committee. He ascribed Eustis’ position on the bill and his desire to swell it to his well-known hostility to the administration and to his wish to force a presidential veto. It w is an open secret, he said, that arrangements werefbeing made in another body to bury the bill provided certain things were done, or provided the amendments were i ncreased beyond a certain point. There had also been floating abouV the corridors of. the capitol, in the cloak rooms, and on the' floor of the senate, statements made and repeated day after day, by men who repre sent the executive. D.v men who stood close to it. They had not hesitated to say, mot in a whisppr but in outspoken words.) that if this Dill exceeded a certrin point, it would undoubtedly meet an executive veto. Edmunds said the object of this debate was out of order and unseemly; and it was improper to refer to any possible or im possible action of the president or of the house of representatives in relation to the bill. The chair (Sherman) said that the point of order was well taken, but he had ob served that the senators frequently violated the rules in an indirect manner by refer ring to what was done elsewhere. He re garded this indirect violation of the rules as a violation of decency and propriety. Coilger, a member of the committee on commerce, resented the references to his committee and characterized them as “an insidious attack upon the committee.” All thought the speeches, he said, had run an attack on the motives, sincerity, honesty and honor of the committee. The senator from Kansas had spoken of some “sewer age system.” “Ah, sir,” said Mr. Conger, “this kind of attack smells of cloc®. The senator’s suggestion of a sewerage system indicates a seeking for the motives of men ir. some fllthy place, and 1 leave it there with that expression, i How much better Is the senator from Kan case for the prosecution in the trial Sf the Anarchists this afternoon, a ftill jury hav ing been empannolled.

Chicago, July 16.—A special from Omahn says the Dundy county bank of Beuklemen, Nebraska, failed yesterday. Belzer, the president, skipped to Canada, and took with him about £100,000 in funds and securities.

St. Louis, July 16.—Carlos S. Geely, the largest stockholder of the Provident sav ings bank, which failed yesterday, makes " ‘ ' ‘ as to how that the Cincinnati Enquirer. New York, July 13.—There are indica tions cropping out. that the old Arthur ele ment in this state has made overtures to Senator Sherman for an alliance which shall comprehend the nomination of the senator for president and the selection of the vice-presidential candidate from the state of New York by the Arthurites. Im mediately after the Ohio society banquet here, at which Senator Sherman was pres ent, it became known he had formed some kind of A NEW YORK ALLIANCE. The name of Levi P. Morton was promi nently connected with his name as a vice- presidential candidate. While Mr. Morton is said to have declined to lend himself to anybody’s presidential boom, it is known that he is perfectly willing to go on the tail of the ticket with anybody. He is a good politician and an old stalwart whoBe relations were excellent with the Arthur people up to the senatorship contestoftwo years ago. These relations have recently Been renewed, and men like Congressman Henry G. Burleigh, Janies D. Warren of Buffalo, Gen. George H. Sharpe and^othels abi * ’* situation in a somewhat raging style. Among other things it says: The trick; sters, soreheads and mountebanks who are about to assume office in a tremendous crisis in English history have in common but one dominating impulse, to grab the emoluments of power. This is indeed a grotesque sacrifice. It is as if a rascal im bued himself the investments of a priest for the purpose of robbing the altar. In another paragraph the paper says: Gladstone’s opponent deliberately con cocted the Belfast tragedies for political purposes. Murder, particular or whole-, sale, will not stop them any more than it did Ireland’s enemies heretofore. The Marquis, of Salisbury, Joseph Chamberlain and Lord Randolph Churchill are as un scrupulous as Pitt, Clare and Castlereagh, but they are punier. The slanders of the Times and Lord Hartington are as infar mous as those of Lord Carnwallis. The Belfast Orangemen have been selected to lead go#d Irish people into violence in or der to secure a pretext for coercion with a view to stifle Ireland’s demand until Glad stone shall be dead.

The night watchman informed me last evening that Thompson entered the bank building Saturday evening, at about 10:30 o’clock, and it was undoubtedly then the cashier salted £15,000 of funds in his pockets, and the greatest surprise to me is that he didn’t appropriate the rest of it. The discovery of this shortage was made last Friday by me, and it came about like this: Swan, acting President of the bank, on that date, came to my place of business and informed me that the directors had jut loaned Thompson 58,500 on 100 shares of ~ “ ... ing about Morton They invariably the colonel sailed for China. Before sail ing he hod borrowed money from Boody, McClellan A Co. He presumed that the bond would remain In their custody, but while away the firm sold it. He admitted that' he never made restitution for the bond, but claimed that he had been unable to see the plaintiff since May, 1886, oh ough he had made several efforts to do . He acknowledged that he owed plain tiff the amount of the bond, but asserted that there was no criminal intent on his part to defraud her of the bond or its value. The police Justice held him in (1,600 for trial. He did not secure ball to-night. He found that it was not an easy matter for a man who is on the point of starting for the north pole to get bonds in (1,500. The colonel caused a cablegram to be sent to James Gordon Bennett, setting forth the facts and asking what should be done. Aa answer is expected to-morrow. The pris oner claims that he has given Miss Adams several thousands of dollars since she gave him the bond, and rumor has it that the lady, who is fond of Gilder, has had him arrested to prevent his going away. MURDERED FOR MONEY. are now earnestly talkini for vice-president. T declare that New York;must have a place on tlie ticket, and that the only way to se cure it is to take a western man for presi dent and a New York man for vice-presi dent. Congressman Burleigh made a very strong plea to those with whom he talked here to-day in favor of the nomination of Sherman, Harrison or Allison, with Mr. Morton for vice-president. He declared as vehemently as he did in 1884 that Mr. Blaine cannot and must not. lie nominated. Mr. Burieigh’s talk is an indication of the drift of the Arthur element toward the support of Sherman. It was amusing to hear some of the expressions drawn out by Mr. Burleigh’s advocacy of Mr. Sherman. Dwight Lawrence, who is an old Cornell man, said to the congressman: “Now, what is the use of your talking about getting New York to support John Sherman for president. In the first place, your schemes comprehend the delivery of the vote of this state to Sherman, in return for which we are to have the vote of Ohio, and Sherman’s friends for our man for vice committee on privileges ami elections sas than are the members of the comm: presented a report in the election case o Senator Payne. Hoar, on behalf of himself and Fry, presented the dissenting views of the mi nority, and Evarts mnde a separate repo: i E resenting the views of himself, Teller and ,ogan. All the reports were ordered printed in one document and were pissed on the calendar to be called up at any time as privileged matter. Tbe reports pre sented by Pugh and Evarts agree in recom mending that the committee be discharg ed from further consideration of the sub ject. The third report recommends an in vestigation by the senate. It appearing on the count that there was no quorum present, the roll was called and forty-six senators' (more than a quorum) answered to their names. Allison submitted the conference report on the legislative appropriation bill, the committee agreeing upon all points in dis pute between the two houses, except as to the four following pointy: Cldrks for sen ators (not chairman of committees) at £6 a day for the session; salary of assistant treasurer at Baltimore (increased by the senate to ?4,500); appropriation for three clerks for the civil service commission, and relating to the compensa tion of internal revenue agents, surveyors, etc. The report was accepted, (closing all matters in dispute except as to those four points), and the senate still further insisted on its disagreement with the house on these points. The senate then resumed consideration of the river and harbor ap propriation bill, the amendments adopted as in the committee of the whole being the uper ad i on commerce'/ What have the members of the committee on commerce done that they should be held up to tbe scorn of their fellows and of the people? I admit his great eloquence, his oritv in soaring high, aye, sinking low, but I do not admit his superior honesty, integrity or industry. At tbe close of Conger’s speech, which was extremely bitter throughout, though enjoyed by his audience, the senate with out coming to a vote, adjourned at 0:30. THE GRAPE CREEK TROUBLE. A I'oinmitti'O of the Striking Miners Publishes n Card. Chicago, July 15.—A committee of the striking miners at the Grape Creek coal mines near Danville, 111., publishes a card respecting the situation in which they say: “There is no prospect of a riot, nor has there been any attempt at violence or in timidation of any kind. The miners of this place are all American citizens, peaceable and law abiding, and have common sense enough to stand up for their rights. The Grape Creek Coal Company is solely responsible for the present trouble. We were requested by F. H. McClure, gen eral manager of the Grape Creek Coal Company, to send a delegate to the Colum bus (Ohio) convention which adopted the Pittsburg rate of 75 cents per ton. He took a prominent part in the convention nml was the only operator that voted against the Pittsburg scale which was to go ink* P resident. You will get the votes of New ork state about the time that sheol freezes over. Why, there is no man in public life against whom there clusters more!aniniusi- ties in the state of New York than John Sherman. You know as well as 1 do that when he was secretary of the treasury, he stirred up rows in this state that wilrnot be ended in a lifetime.” FRIENDLY TO BLAINE. While the Arthur people are figuring for the connection just, mentioned, the rank and file of the 'state are friendly to Mr. Blaine, and if the judgment of politicians like Captain Chester S. Cole, DevVitt Clin ton Wheeler and Mr. Lawrence can be relied upon, he is the coming man. Cap tain Cole, who is chairman of the state committee, told roe to-day that. Mr. Blaine’s hold oil New York is as strong to- first to be disposedI of The fl«t point on j «the'Mention £asqveT which there », M t SXr K originally by Ingalls to the items for the us together ana told us ne wouia iiivi Mississippi i providing that position • • , P of appropriation for Plum Point or Lake to 100 shares, and that the date had also been altered. Further examination of his books showed that his rascality had been going on since 1883. Since that time he has carried n fraudulent entry on the foreign exchange account, involving .*20,000. His total shortage will doubtless amount to £70,000. I agree with tbe receiver, however, that the depositors will be paid in full, even at the expense of the stockholders. The bank will never re sume operations. The August* Strike. Augusta, Ga., July 15.—C. H. Phinizy, president of the Augusta factory, in a let ter to Mullen, Mienard and Salley, com mittee of the Knights of Labor, declines to make fifteen per cent, advance to the strikers, but agrees to abolish the pass or line system, and the board of directors de clare to all whom it nmy concern that they are anxious to continue business on any terms which do not involve actual loss and destruction of property, and cordially invite the co-operation of all persons willing to engage in such business. In reply to the Tetter of President Phin izy, W. it. Mullen, of the Knights of Labor, declared that 15 per cent, is not their ulti has in the state of Pennsylvania. The captain thinks that if there revolution in sentiment and now foreshadow will be supported by the New York delegation for renomination in 1S88. Dwight Lawrence thinks that the old ticket will be renc.i’inated and Clinton Wheeler says that nothing short of an earthquake can stop Blaine ■. nomination. NO CONVENTION NECESSARY. The republicans ofthis state are showing considerable weakness over the question of holding a state convention. There is only one officer to be nominated th not be governed by the scale of wages fixed and adopted and wanted us to join hands with him and repudiate all that had been done at the convention. We told him in justice to forty-nine operators and Proxideuce reaches shall be confined to a complete repair and maintenance of the I all the miners from eight states that took of two feet above the flood ol and to i t x . ,« nf thnt convention the completion of permeable works of con- |w ; .? s *i,„ traction. The amendment was adopted— yeas 32, nays 19. The next question was on an amendment originally offered by Harrison or * same item. It was to add the proviso authorizing the commission to ;pi „ we could do only in the way prescribed by the convention, and that Avas to submit all grievances to a board of arbitration. Har“ri'so,r on“the j This he refused to do. We have been 1 evicted from their houses, and have taken | up our abode in rudely-constructed houses of our own, but we have plenty to eat ami the Crystal Plate Gloss Company’s stock which had been deposited as colatteral. Now, I am a director of that corporation, and had assisted in the disbursements of the dividends, and I was in a position to know that Thompson did not hold one hundred shares of stock. Going immediately to our treasurer, Barnes, 1 had him furnish me a list of the stockholders. In this list I found that on October 9th, 1885, u certificate numbered 378 calling for one share of capital stoOk had been issued to Almonds Thompson. I called the attention ol' the hoard of directors to this, but Thompson explained that the other ninety- nine shares had been transferred to him, but not yet delivered.

He left here late that evening, and stopped at a saloon two miles from the city to get a drink, and displayed a large roll of bills. This was the last seen of him alive. Early Sunday Morning Mrs. lloehner, upon arising, discovered her husband’s team standing in the road. Fearing that, something avos wrong she aroused the hands and ail unsuccessful search was made for Hoehner about the farm. The me* then started for Evansville, but could hear nothing of his whereabouts. This morn ing Mr. Lew McCutchau, while on his way to market, had occasion to go down a side road in the direction of McCutehanville, and seeing a motionless body lying in a clump of bushes went to it and discovered the body of Mr. Hoehner lying there. lie was bleeding from wounds in the head and breast, and was barely breathing. Mr. McCutchau, placing him in the wagon, drove to the Hoehner residence. Physi cians from McCutehanville were hastily summoned, and every thing possible done for the unfortunate man; but he had laid unattended so long that recovery was im possible, and be died at noon. The only words he spoke were: “Hit hard.” He had no known enemies, and the mur derous attack was probably committed for money which he is supposed to have had od his person when attacked. The author ities are at work upon the ease, and it is supposed have a clew to the perpetrators. Two young “hoodlums” ivere present at the saloon where Hoehner was last seen, and took their departure shortly after him. Both are residents of this city, and one is said to have spent considerable money Sunday. TURF NEWS. Tin 1 TRihts id Jl'iiiiiHiutli Park.

In stead of the section struck out had been : inserted a provision authorizing the seere- tary of war to establish harbor lines where i not already established), and also to estab- lish lines where deposits of debris of mines or stamp works can be made without in- jury to navigation. The question was on striking out and inserting, and it was agreed to—yeas 30, nays 11. 1 The amendments striking out sections 3, 4, 5, 0, 7 and 11 were all agreed to. All amendments agreed to by the senate in committee of the whole having been disposed of the whole bill was open to amendment. . .
