Oct. 17.—The Coro ner’s jury taking testimony in the Mud Run accident resumed its session in this city to-day. The first witness called was Washington, Oct. 30.—Senator Black burn to-day submitted a voluminous minor ity report from the Committee on the operation of the civil service, and asked that it be printed with the minority re port. The very elaborate report of the majori y, says the minority report, gives evidence of many months of careful preparation.

The American people were not more urprised at the tame manner in which our fishing rights were surrendered, than were the negotiators of the English and themselves, when they found that obsta cles hitherto insurmountable by British diplomacy had been removed by the present administration and the pathway to a diplomatic victory made smooth and easy to the representation of England.

Construciively the tariff bill was under discussion, but practically not a word was said on the subject. The greater part of the first hour was spent in a recess for mally proposed by Senator Allison, and formally ordered by the Senate, but the hour with a few momentary iiterruptions was spent in a state of suspended auima- tion of waiting for time. man waved a red light, he saw the ap proaching train come around the curve at a rapid rate, running as fast as a regular jority had done days allowed them to follow out in detail the “tediously stated case,” but it would endeavor to illustrate more fairness in dealing with the testimony than the mi- pasenger train, about 20 miles an hour; the train did not slacken its speed when the station was neared.

Not only has the President vetoed the general bill passed for the relief of all needy and dependent soldiers, but in more than 300 cases of peculiar and personal sufferings he has interposed his power to prevent the nation from relieving their just dues. His vetoes of the bills, both general and personal, has thrust thousands of soldiers for their daily substance upon New York Associated Press. —Emperor William is expected to arrive at Decwitz. station, near Potsdam to-morrow on his return from Italy He will drive imme diately to the marble palace, where he will pass t he day in retirement with his family.

These roads may fall into line, but they have not yet been heard from on the subject. There will be the usual chronic criticism about members ac cepting these passes. The general ex pression about it, however, is that if there were no free passes over any ot the rail roads there would be much better chance of a short session.

With the utterance of his first sylable, a hush of profound silence fell upon the body. With the fall of the gavel, the act which formally terminated the first ses sion of the Fiftieth Congress, the au dience, attendants, even Senators, re lieved now from the operation of rigid Senate rules, applauded the brief though dignified and courtly remarks of the Chair aud celebrated the beginning of recess. The rect rds of the White House show that the whole number of bills and joint resolutions passed at the session of Con gress just closed was 1443, of which 1197 were approved by the President, 95 be came laws without his signature, 128 were vetoed, and 23 failed for want of the signa ture up to the time of adjournment.

And yet that is precisely the condition in which thousands of soldiers who took an honorable part in the country's detense are left by the President’s vetoes. The Republicans arraign the President not merely for his veto of pension bills, but for his general and dangerous use of the veto power, without precedent iti the pre vious history of the country, and alto- plained of to-day came down to this administration as an inheritance. The levying of assessments upon Government officials for partisan purposes, was in gene ral, if not universal practice, prior to March, 1SS5, and the discrimination in the matter of appointment, because of politi cal views, was proven to be by no means a novel feature, nor one which had been in troduced by the present administration.

Oct. 30 —Tlie politi cal situation in Alabama is growing ratner lively. The Democrats are making a very thorough canvass of the State in the interest ot the Presidential ticket, and the nominees for Congress. As a matter of course Alabama stands solid for Cleveland aud Thurman, and the Republicans have no dream of success on that line. But in one or two Congresssonal districts the contest will probably be close. In the Fourth distr et Hon. L. W. Turpin, of Hale county, the Democratic nominee for Congress, is op posed by Judge J. V. McDuffie, ofLowndes county, who is u Republican of some abili ty and great influence among the negro voters. Mr. Turpin and his friends realize that they must tight a good tight if they win, and they are in the coutest for all it is worth. The Republican opposition in the other districts does not amount to much. It is thought, however, that the Republicans are preparing to spring a candidate in the Montgomery district to oppose Col. H. A. Herbert at the eleventh hour. Dr. R. A. Mosely, Jr., chairman of the State Republican Executive Committee, arrived from Talladega last night and held a secret conference with the promi nent Republicans of this place. What their game is, if they have a game, no body outside of the gang knows. The Democrats here have issued a call for money to be sent to the National Dem ocratic Committee for the purpose of pushing and sustaining the cam paign. Hon. Henry D. Clayton, Jr., of Barbour, returned yesterday from New j York, where he went to attend a meeting i of the National Committee. He says the Democrats have the victory now, but fears that the tables may be turned in the clos ing days of the campaign by free use of Republican boodle. The National Com mittee will need money, and Alabama has been called on to contribute what she cau. The Governor on yesterday made the following executive appointments: John P. Ginwright, Constable, Beat 11, Bullock county. Stephen Hodge. Notary Public. Opelika, 1/Oe county. O. B. Perry, Justice of the Peace, Beat i, Macon county. W. D. Dawkins, Notary Public and Jus tice of the Peace, Beat 4, Macon county. T. J. Carlisle, Justice of the Peace, Beat 7. Pike county. K. W. Arrington, Justice of the Peace, Beat 4, Wilcox county. Julius C. Dale, Justice of the Peace, Beat 9, Wilcox county. President 1. F. Culver, of the State Fair Association, on yesterday telegraphed an invitation to Speaker Carlisle ot the House of Representatives to deliver an address to the people of Alabama during the next ■ State Fair, which opens November 12. j Major Culver also telegraphed Colonel j Hilary A. Herbert, asking him to use his influence to get Carlisle to come. As the Fair opens several days after the closing of the national campaign, the management think that it is highly proba ble that the Speaker will come especially j when he understands that no admission fee is going to be charged, and that all Alabama is eager to hear him.

The President Accept# an Invitation From the liittdnea* Men—The Sioux Chief*. WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.—Joseph J. O’Don ohue, John T. Inman, Win. Woodward, Jr., and John A. McCall, representing the Cleveland and Thurman Business Men’s Organization of New York, called on the President at the White House this morn ing and invited him to review a parade of those organizations next Saturday after noon. The invitation was accepted. Secretary Vilas said to-day that the Siouxlchief had formally notified him tha they had rejected by a large majority the proposition made by the President through the Secretary last Wednesday. They sub mitted a counter proposition agreeing to accept £1.25 uer acre, the money to be paid at once. This proposition, the Secretary declared could not for a moment be en tertained by the government. A small minority signified their willing ness to accept the proposition. This concluded all negotiations under the new law, which were opened by the ap pointment of the Sioux Commission. The chiefs were presented to the Presi dent this afternoon, and will leave for their reservation tomorrow. Secretary Vilas expressed the opinion that one of the prin cipal reasons for the rejection of his prop osition was the fact that the execution of ! the law would break up the tribal rela tions, thus depriving the chiefs of their present authority. The Brotherhood of Kngiiieer*. Richmond, Va., Oct. 20.—The Brother- ' hood of Locomotive Engineers to-day de- ! eided to hold their next convention at I Denver, Col., October 17, 1889.

Speagge, of Toronto, Canada, First Graud Assistant Engineer, Henry Hays of Cleveland, O., and Second Grand Assistant Engineer, A. M.

The Presidential Appointment*. Washington, Oct. 20.—Very few nomi nations made by the President during the session of Congress just ended failed on ac count of the action by the Senate. Among , Jt9 noblest Uer itage, have been those m suspense are George Norman, ‘ ^ ’ United States marshal for the Eastern Dis trict of Louisiana; a dozen probate judges in Utah and a few army and navy promo tions and a dozen postmasters, only two of the latter being in the South, Byrom Lem- ley, Jackson, Mias., and James H. Radef- fer, Woodstock Ya. Nominations reject ed: Samuel F. Bigelow, United States dis trict attorney lor New Jersey, and two postmasters, one at West Point, Ya., and the other at West Bedford, Mass. Washington, Oct. 20.—Only seven Senators had the benefit ot the final prayer of this session, by Rev. J. B. Butler, namely, the presiding officer (Mr. Ingalls,; aud Messrs. Allison, Cockrell, Mitchell, Paddock, Saulsbury and Teller. The chap lain asked a blessing on what had been done by the Senate in God’s name, that God would be present with those who were now scattering throughout the land; that he would direct the ballot of the na tion and that he would make this a right eous nation, leading the nations of the world in their onward progress. During and immediately after the read ing of the journal, the Senate was r. in- forced by the presence of Messrs. Black burn, Reagan and Sawyer. On motion of Mr. Allison, a committee of two Senators was appointed, Messrs. Alliison and Sauis- bury, to join a like committee on the part of the House, to wait upon the President and inform him that Congress, having fin ished its business, was to close the present session by adjournment at 1 o’clock to day. The next message from the House was sending back the enrolled joint resolutions “signed” by the Speaker as to the Govern ment exhibits at the Cincinnati Exposi tion. It was immediately signed by the presiding offi:er, and dispatched to the President, but as the hands on the dial of the clock showed that but twenty-five minutes of the session were left, the ques tion ot its being approved and signed was very doubtful. Two minutes afterward Mr. Allison, of the Committee to wait on the President reported that the Com mittee had performed that duty, aud been informed by the President he had no further communication to offer. A resolution tendering the thanks of the Sena e to Mr. Ingalls for the uniform ity, able, courteous and impartial manner in which he had presided, was offered by Mr. Saulsbury and adopted unanimously. At 12:55, a message from the President an nounced his approval of the sundry Senate bills and joint resolutions. In a few min utes afterwards came the final incident of the sesssion, the farewell remarks of the presiding officer. Mr. Ingalls with great deliberation and tine elocution spoke as follows: “Senators—gratitude impels, aud usage 1 permits the the Chair to postpone for an j instant the moment of our separation, to j acknowledge the honor of your resolution 1 of confidence and approval, but justice de- ! mands the admission that if the Chair has succeeded in the discharge of the delicate | and important duties of his position. If order has been maintained in the de- j bate, if laws have been administered, and < if the traditions of the Senate, which are preserved j inviolate, it is due to your considerate iu- j dulgence, to your constaat and cordial co operation. Without these the greatest anility could not succeed, with these the humblest facilities could not tail. “The termination of the longest continu ous session of the Senate since the founda tion of the Government approaches, and trusting that the Supreme power which | controls the destinies of nations, as well as passengi ity than a freight, and would not put an engineer to run over a road who is not familiar with it unless a pilot was sent along. The pilot might be a conductor, engineer or fireman. It does not require more skill on the part of an engineer to run a section train than regular passenger cars outrage had been perpetrated by reason of their dismissal from office. The minor- I ity declared that after reading the majority ; report carefully the conclusion is well- : nigh irresistible that an improvement cf the civil service of the country was not the idea kept in view, and that the purpose of the framers was not to enlighten the gether beyond the conception or imagina tion of those who framed the constitution There is something extraordinary space which Cleveland’s vetoes will til) in the archives of the Government. His vetoes of private pension bills will occupy more space in our polished history than all the regular annual messages of Washington, Adams and Jefferson, for the first twenty years of the Federal government, aud if ail his vetoes on all subjects be combined, the spaces they will fill will be greater than aud will be pn se it at the opening of the new Landtag. It is also added that he will receive the Uzar on November 10. The Russian impe rial family will pass through Berlin on that date, and the Czar will then repay Emperor William’s recent visit. The V/.ir and his family are going to visit Copen hagen, where they will join in the celebra tion of the silver anniversary of the acces sion of King Christian to the throne of Denmark. Arrangements for Emperor William’s reception at Windsor Castle have been abandoned. He contemplates a voyage some time in the winter to Lisbon, then a journey to Madrid. His decision upon this matter is not final, but the intimation has been sent to Madrid that he has in con- in' the ! tempiation a visit to the Spanish court. i f ordersareobeved ” We donot regard i all the annual messages of the Presidents \ atican. the dls iV wtoi Pr ° POS “ d “ the reaolu - j from the formation ol the CoQStitutiou to o. >he gineer an engine that he was not aecus- Nearly fifty typewriten pages of the ro- ! ^WR^GreatB^nV submit that the between thesignais o Thl^nginf*^ P° rt * re ^ oted .ft au analysis of the ft*- between the signals or mese engines, l re tiniony taken with respect to New York, to makfi President the third letrisla- caution was taken in selecting engineers Pennsylvania, Maryland and ludiana, and ' “ower with a vote that could over- for the excursion trains Men were select- the point s made in the majority report are ™ tSthoftfae o there Such u^ of the ed who were old railroad hands and be- discussed at length.

Major entered the employ of the company in 1S72 as brakeman, aud a year later was a fireman, being given charge of an engine in 1878, and in the last ten years has been running over this sec tion of the road. We did not use the in duction telegraph system on the excursion care, although it is used on some of our trains. It would have been a precaution j had it been in use.

I have run the second engine on a section train over this road at night at the rate of twen ty-five miles an hour. I was always on the lookout for signals as though there was no train ahead of me. The front engine would interfere with my view. I could control the train without reference to the front engineer. The helper is required to shut off steam when I put on the air breaks; going at the rate of thirty miles an hour, I could stop the train withiu a run of 500 feet. Charles W. Haines, of Georgetown, Pa., was the next witness. He testified that he was a passenger on the train that crashed into the one ahead of it. The train was running at the ordinary rate of speed until within three quarters of a mile of the station, when the train slowed up, running possibly at the rate of ten or twelve miles an hour.

New York, Oct. 20.—One of the most memorable games in the history of the National game in New York resulted to day in a victory for the League champions, sought to observe this Law was wise, may be disputed, but the honesty of purpose with which he and they have emievi red to execute it cannot be truthfully denied. An army of holding-over Republican of ficials is to-day drawing its maintenance from the treasury of the country, aud if current report be true, contributing from their salaries to the effort that is being made to dislodge from power the party at whose suffrance they hold their places. In the light of proof suppressed, and in many instances distorted, as the majority report shows it to be, the question natural ly arises was ever a more desperate effort made, employing more reckless and des perate methods toserve or save made in a desperate cause? Candor will not permit the claim to be made that in every instance every officer of the Government, superior and subordi nate, has been exactly and judiciously fair aud has acted without regard to nat ural and inevitable bias that comes from sincere convictions, but fair-minded men will take up the record, and will declare that this Administration has not been lacking in an honest, earnest, persistent and successful effort to execute the law aud make good the pledges that it and its party gave to the American people. MR. BLAINE IN CHICAGO. * Attack# the Democrats ana Say# They Fail to Fulfill Their Promise*. Chicago, Oct. 20.—One of the most i notable Republican demonstrations of the campaign of 1888. occurred in Chicago to night. Mr. Biaine was the central figure, i The occasion was his first public appear ance since the National Convention in the some descriptive soubriquet. [Applause. Fourth—The Republicans arraign the Administration for having unjustly, with out precedent and for partisan reasons, disfranchised a million American citizens iu the Territory of Dakota. Considerable space was devoted to the elaboration of this proposition. The fif;h charge was that the Republi cans arraign President Cleveland’s aUtnin- istration for breaking down the useful pilieyof payiug off the National debt as rapidly as the surplus will allow. They permitted the bonds of the United States, payable at par, to remain at Lj^arest, while the income of the Gov’ta*'ament was devoted to the crea tion of a surplus, which might be used to prejudice the financial and indus trial system that had steadily produced a coudition of prosperity in the country. When the surplus was thus designed by the enlarged treasury, the department used it for the first time since Gen. Jack- son broke down the old United States bank for the purpose of loans under the nature of “deposits” without interest to banking institutions. When Manning retired from Cleveland’s cabinet and Jordan resigned from the office of treasurer, two gentlemen estab lished a bank in the city of New York aud the administration of Cleveland loaned the Government funds without interest as fixed and permanent deposits of $100,000 of the people’s money. In the days of Louis Napoleon’s most ab solute power, if he had given 5,500,000 francs out of the public purse to two friends as an aid to a private enterprise in banking, barricades would have been across the streets of Paris and a revolution inaugurated against a government that would indulge favoritism so ruinous. [Cheers. If Queen Victoria should request of the English Treasury that the same amount should be issued to two of her personal friends, as an aid to the speculative nature of banking, the minister would have made an enquiry into the soundness of her mind upon a proposition so extraordinary, and yet Mr. Fairchild, acting for the Pres ident, ordered .*1,100,000 of the people’s money to be placed iu the bank of Man ning & Jordan, and authorized the bank to hold that sum as a fixed balance.

Prior to the re view, two mammoth meetings, either oue rivalling the convention gatherings in the auditorium were ad dressed by Mr. Blaine. The meetings took place in a building side by side. These arangements were necessary, owing to the lack of any single haJl large enough to hold the crowds desiring to be present. The following are extracts from Mr. Blaine’s SDeech. “The political cam paign in which the American people are now engaged is to determine whether Democrat rule can continue, or whether the Republican party on its record of achievement shall be entrusted with a new lease of power. The Republicans contend that the general welfare of the whole i country has not been promoted bv the Democratic administration, and that the Democratic promises of reform have been signally disregarded and trampled upon. They contend that the administration has been against the material welfare of the retain power to abuse their trusteeship of tbe people’s money for private purposes, I will give another instance of the ad ministration of the Treasury Department, equally offensive, as an aid to Mr. Carlisle in his extremity. The department has placed a special deposit, which is in the nature of a loan without interest, in all the national banks in the city of Coving ton, four in number, the depos it in each of these banks exceeding $200,000 and aggregating nearly $900,000. If there has ever heretofore been an abuse of that character known to the treasury of the United States, I desire some gentleman competent to instruct the public to make it known. [Cheers. Seventh and last, the Republicans ar raign the President for a deliberate at tempt to destroy the protective system of this country by using against it as an argu ment its tendency to prodace a surplus in the treasury: when not one dollar of the surplus would be there if the money had been lawfully expended in reducing the llis reception at Brussels early in tbe spring completes his tour of the continental courts; the English court remaining under the imperial ex-communication. The results of the Emperor’s visit to Rome, heyoud doubt have been a blow to the hopes of the Vatican. The semi-offi cial press here, having been instructed to maintain a judicious silence, ignores the Vatican. The dissatistaction, anger, and clericals breaks out in the German aud other Catholic organs. It is admitted that the Emperor will use the utmost tact in his interview with the Pope aud Cardinal R impelln, papal secre tary of State. But authentic advices from , Rome, wnich arc accepted as accurate by both official aud Catholic circles, state that the Pope forced from Emperor William a I declaration that Germany <*ould not en- | courage aspirations without endangering the present entente with the Italian gov- j eminent. From a member of the imperial attend ant*. it became known that Emperor Will- iam, while telling King Humbert how the Pope had insisted uoou talking on ttie question of it nne ; said: “I had to destroy liis illusions, and it was done effectually.'' The Vatican does not rest submissive or inactive. Cardinal Ram pal la, besides in structing the Bishop to renew the agitation for sympathy with the Pope, has prepared a statement explaining that his holiness only consented to receive the Emperor after obtaining a formal declaration that tne visit did not imply any recognition of an incorporation of Rome with Italy. The archbishop of Cologne has issued a pastoral letter to the faithful, defining their duty in the coming elections for members of the landtag. The letter says they must vote for the candidates who are ready to defend the rights of the church. The clergy are ordered to actively interfere in the contests, using their utmost in fluence to elect men who are resolved to give too God what is due God. Clerical reproof falls upon Cardinal Galimberti, papal nuncio at Vienna, who is accused of having been duped by Bis marck in negotiations and arrangements for Emperor Williams reception in Rome. The discussion of Dr. Mackenzie’s book tends more and more to the discredit of tho English doctors. Even the radical Vaa- sesiche / fitting, which Iris hitherto been a furious and outspoken champion of Dr. Mackenzie, has ceased to de fend him since the appearance of Professor Virchore’s and Dr. Wal- deyer’s official report on the results of the post nortem examination of the remains of Emperor Frederick. At a meeting of the medical society here Thursday last tbe members approved a report, the effect of which will amount to accusing M tekenzie of distorting the facts disclosed by the post mortem examination, and of a general di vergence fr >m the true statement of Prof. Virchow in the \\>as-:he Zeitung, further charging Drs. Mackenzie and Howell with evading his request for an ex ict descrip tion or the affected parts whence the par ticles were taken for analysis, intensifies the suspicion ’ hat Dr. McKenzie aiinod to mystify the German doctors if possible. Professor Virchow now asserts that the particles given him to analize with the microscope were taken from the vocal chord, and not from the seat of the disease. Public opinion Is made up that Dr. Mac kenzie's is a clever juggler, and that he was an able and willing instrument in tbe plans for prolonging Fredericks life until he had a chance to ascend the throne. The public is ceasing to take an interest in tbe medical squabble. Tne Medical Society has expressed a desire that the Govern ment permit Dr. Mackenzie’s book to cir culate freely in Germany, holding that if tbe prohibits of tbe sale of the book, were withdrawn to-rnorrow, the public would not make a rush to buy it. Court aDd domestic politics are more than ever surcharged with the inflamma ble. The ex-Empress is implicated in both of Dr. Mackenzie's state moots and in Gef- ficken’s line of defense. Bpoarmann, the publisher of the German edition of Mac kenzie’s book, has written a depoiition to tepe the police, in which he states that the ex- Empress revised the original English proofs. This is accepted as true. Geffic- ken's defense, including the allegation that tbe ex-Emprens knew ne in tended to publish tne extracts from the late Emperor's diary is also held to be probable. Friends of the late Emperor are hopeful that tho high character of the ex-Empress will find vindication in the developments of the Giffecken trial. Min ister Friedberg, who is still a fast friend of the ex-Empress, desires to resign, but will remain in office at her request. The semi official press has reported his retirement, and named .Secretary Schelting as hi# suc cessor. The Cologne Gazette, while ad mitting Dr. Friedberg's devotion to tbe Emperor Frederick,^denies that Bismarck wants him to resign. The group surrounding Dr. Friedberg is gaining so much strength that it may s-xm nave power to influence the abandonment of the prosecution of Prof. Geffioken. The charge against him, as now defined, is treasonable divulging of document#. I ne least sentence it would be possible to im pose on conviction upon this charge is two years of penal servitude. Emperor Wil liam is much less desirous that his trial should be proceeded with than is Prince Bismarck, who the Emperor persuaded to direct the abandonment of the prosecu tion. when his vindictive action appeared likely to recoil upon himself. The landtag electoral excitement isjon the increase, as is also the activity of the police in suppressing meetings hostile to the Government. A socialist meeting, at which 3000 persons were present, was re cently held in Tonhelle Fredrichstrasse here. The addresses made were peaceful in tone, though fervid, but the meeting was summarily closed because Herr Schip- pei, editor of the Volks Tribune, criticised the existing electoral methods. The po lice made indiscriminate arrests. The North German Gazette, i i an article written with a special bearing on the elections, discusses Emperor Frederick’s domestic and foreign policy in order to show that the progressists were mistaken country: that it has not maintained tno gSJl 1 5* LISJIT# national honor, and that it threatens im pairment of our industrial system, wnereby under the protective tariff the country has advanced so rapidly in power and pros perity.
