The Investigating Committee in Ses sion at Denver. Denver, Col., July 12.—The Pacific Rail way •Investigating Committee yesterduy continued its session quite late. Senator Hill remained upon the stand and was cross examined by Mr. Teller on behalf of the Union Pacific Company. He admitted that he was a stockholder in the .Montana Mining Company, and had received $67,000 of re bate from the Union Pacific road. He ad mitted that the Legislature of Colorado had appointed a committeo to investigate the , u ,'? es of corruption in connection with the benatorial contest that resulted in the election of Senator P. W. Teller. A REFUSAL TO DISCLOSE. The witness admitted that he had gone before that committee and had refused to disclose information in his possession re garding the charges of corruption. He had so refused because the committee, with one or two exceptions, was composed of the meanest and most false and dishonest of men. Mr. Teller asked the witness if he would now give this commission tho in formation he had refused to give to the Legislative Committee. He replied that some of it had passed from his memory and some had been obtained from confidential sources which he would not like to expose. Mr. Teller asked the witness if be ref used to disclose the information. JURISDICTION QUESTIONED. The witness replied, that he did not sup pose it to be the object of this Commission to investigate as to what members of the Colorado Legislature sold their votes. The Commission said it would be part of their duty, to investigate a matter of that sort, if the Union Pacific Railway Company was in any way connected with it. The witness said the most he could do was to state his belief, based on what he saw, and on sur rounding circumstances. The Commission ers requested the Senator to furnish them with the names of all parties who could throw any light on the subject, as to the question of the settlement of the Railroad debt to the Government. Senator Hill was of the opinion that the Union Pacific Com pany had shockingly abased its privileges, and he for one would be glad to see the road turned into the hands of the Government, and have it run as the Post Office Depart ment is run. STOLEN SPIRITS. The Facta in Frankfort’s Great Whisky Shortage. Lexington, Ky., July 12.—The facts in the great whisky shortage at Frankfort have just come to light. Special revenue agents Kellogg aud Crawford, from Wash ington, with four United States gaugers, examined every barrel of whisky in the two bonded warehouses of the O. P. C. and Carlisle distilleries, located at Frankfort, Ky., and owned by the E. H. Taylor Dis tilling Company. In the 17,500 bar rels contained therein they found 4,400 which, had to be regauged. Fifty barrels of that number were almost entirely empty, while 1,200 were short from 10 to 88 gallons each. One barrel. the last one entered in 1884, which at that time con tained 44 gallons, upon regauging was found to contain 34 gallons. The company has employed Green B. Rauiu, ox-Commissioner of Internal Revenue, as their attorney, lie was in Frankfort lost week aud took the de positions of the government employes who have been at work in the distillery. It is found that tho coopers, whose business is to look after the leaks and repair bad cooperage, had frequently been looked up in the warehouse for hours at a time, and that a syphon and bucket had been found in one of the warehouses. The local distilleries, as well as the proprietors, claim that the excessive shortage, 12,000 gallons, could not have been caused by equalizing, but was simply stolen. The pro prietors will lose by the affair about $75,000. ITS CHARTER FORFEITED. The Fidelity National Bank Now Dead Beyond Resurrection. Cincinnati, July 12. —Somewhat unex pectedly a final decree was entered by order of Jqdge Sage this afternoon in the case of Mr. Trenholm, Comptroller of the Currency, against the Fidelity National Bank and its directors and officers, to forfeit the charter of the bank. Demurrers had been filed by President Briggs Swift and others, and there was an appearance of a lengthy legal argument. Upon a mutual understanding argument was dropped and a decree was r' ied upon by all parties, which dismisses action against tfie directors and officers but finds that the bank hud violated the banking laws of the United States by loan ing money to D. A. Fitzpatrick and" others upon security of its own capital stock, and by permitting its cash on hand to fall be low the required 25 per cent, of its circula tion and deposits and by incurring new obligations whilo in this insolvent condition. Tho charter of the bank is, therefore, de clared forfeited. This action puts all the assets <tf the late bank into the hands of Re ceiver Armstrong and dissolves all attach ments upon its property made since the bank was seized by the government.

SAVANNAH, GA., WEDNESDAY, JULY 1.1, 1887. CRUMBS FOR THE IRISH. THE LAND BILL’S FATE TO BE DECIDED TO-MORROW. A Claim That the Government Has a Majority, But the Dissatisfaction With the Measure Apparently In creasing With Great Rapidity—The Bankruptcy Clause Exceedingly Unpopular. London, July 12. —The division on the second reading of the land bill will take place in the House of Commons on Thurs day next. The government has secured a majority. The bankruptcy clause will be abandoned in committee and an amend ment will be introduced giving county court judges power to revise judicial rents. It is claimed that these alterations will modify the opposition of the Paruellite members to the measure. MR. DILLON’S SPEECH. Mr. Dillon resumed the debate on the land bill in the House of Commons to-night. He said he rejected the measure with contempt as utterly inadequate to meet the demands of the Irish tenantry. He rebutted Mr. Chamberlain’s assertion that the past efforts of English statesmen to ameliorate the con dition of the people had invariably nig); with contumely by the Farnellites, and declared that whatever advantages English statesmen had ever of fered had been eagerly seized. Yester day evening’s debate, he said, disclosed the fact that many of the government’s support ers were desirous of securing important amendments to the bill. Would the Cham berlain set, he asked, compel the govern ment to introduce the amendments sug gested. FAIR DEALING DEMANDED Attacking the clauses of the bill seria tiin Mr. Dillon declared that fair dealing with the case of the lease holders, was the only one that promised to be beneficial in its ope ration. The other clauses would make evic tions easy, destroy the confidence of the ten antry in the Land Court, and place in the landlords’ hands anew and terribly irre sistible engine of eviction. T. W. Russell, Liberal member for Ty rone, said it was the desire of tha tenant farmers of Ulster to sea a fair and determ ined effort made to settle the questions raised by the bill. This measure would not satisfy them. He objected to a tenant being compelled to go into court against his will. The bill was a delusion as regards evictions, dosing one door upon the power of the landlord to evict only to open another. NO CONCESSIONS OFFERED. Shaw Lefevre (Homo Rule Liberal) said that notwithstanding the damaging criti cism, even of their Liberal supporters, the government offered no concessions, with the exception of the clause admitting lease holders to the benefits of the act of lsol, and one or two more minor proposals He was convinced that the bill would do more harm than good. The bankruptcy clause, he said, ought to be dropped, for they would benefit nobody but rapacious landlords. The bill offered no real remedy for the main grievanoe of the Irish tenants. The gov ernment had increased the difficulty by not consulting with the Irish members of the House, and the bill would only aggravate the very evils it was intended to cure. Upon motion of Lord Randolph Churchill the de bate was adjourned. TORY DISCONTENT. The Tory discontent over tha bankruptcy clauses of the land bill is growing. Lord Randolph Churchill opposes the clauses. The Liberals will give a banquet to Mr. Parnell and his principal colleagues on July 30. A movement is on foot to give a white bait dinner to Mr. Gladstone and the Par nellite Commoners at Greenwich at the end of the session. A REGATTA BOYCOTTED. Dublin. July 13. —The Carrigabolt re gatta has t>een abandoned owing to a “boy cott,” because Mr. Burton, the magistrate whose tenants are involved in “the plan of campaign” to resist eviction, hud presented a cup for a prize. Further evictions were effected at Arklow to-day. Stout resistance was made by the tenants. Messrs. Redmond & Crolly, Nation alist members of Parliamont, and a numlier of Canadian gentlemen were present. Mr. Dillon promises to visit Arklow to-morrow. EXCITABLE FRANCE. Boulanger’s Case Again Stirs Up the Deputies. Paris, July 12. —The Chamber of Depu ties by an unanimous vote has refused to accept the resignation of M. Flouquet.as President of the Chamber. In the course of tho debate yesterday in the Chamber of Deputios M. Clemencoau charged that the government was in league with the Con servatives. The Boulanger question arose during the complete disorganization of the Republican party. He condemned the demonstrations in favor of Gen. Bou langer, but he added that that was easily explained. The people believed that they saw in Gen. Boulanger not a deliverer,but a man who was attacked by the German press and French Conservatives, llis popularity was that winch tho Chamber should have had, hail it resolutely entered upon the work of reform. PUBLIC OPINION MISLED. Public opinion was being misled. Iswiers were needed whose motto was “Forward!" who were for tho republic against mon archy. In conclusion M. Clemeneeuu said that ho was not able to understand why there were Bouiangists and miti-Boulung ists. Gen. Boulanger was now in his proper position and where he ought to remain. M. Laisant, amid great uproar, tried to defend Gen. Boulanger. He said that the Cabinet was constituted under foreign pressure. RESIGNATION THREATENED. This assertion brought Premier Rouvier (o his feet, and he threatened to loave tho Chamber unless the President called M. Laisant to order, which was done. Premier Rouvier then replied to M. Clem euoeau. Ho said in ffoct that the govern ment wus still desirous of having a republi can- majority, but an the Right had assisted in solving many questions, and while he would not ask their support he would not consider them enemies. In conclusion Minister Rouvier declared that if 200 Republicans voted against them the Ministry would resign. in the Chamber of Deputies to-day Gen. Perron’s rojiorts on tho creation of new cavalry regiments and reforms in the infantry were re-.td, and urgency was de clared. Tiie reports will be discussed to morrow. M. Floquet has withdrawn his resignation as President of the Chamher. The newspa pers here agree that M. Rouvicr’s pluck has secured for the Cabinet anew lease of life. M. Casslgnac ad vires all who can to leave Paris Thursday. Maesowah’s Magazines Explode. Maskowah. July 12.—The gunpowder magazines expFsled here to-night.

They oflfered u year’s agreement made with the company as an objection and it was taken as a valid one, but this morn ing the company broke the agreement, by posting new time tables on which the unmber of “trippers” was greatly increased and the men considered themselves no longer bound bv it, and a general tie-up may lie or dered. The striker* held an enthusiastic meeting this morning at Knights of Pythian Hall, on Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn. Speeches were made at the meeting by Ilan Cooney, 8. O. Dimmiek and “Old Reliable” Watson, of the Locomotive Brotherhood, urging the men to stand firm. It is reported that an engine on the “L” road was stoned last night. The strikers expressed deep re gret. They say they have no sympathy whatever with acts of violonco and that their men will take no part therein. NEW MEN WON’T STICK. During the day the company made Rtren uous efforts to secure men to take the strik ers’ places. At noon seven engines were running, but the persuasions of the strikers hud reduced this number to three at 5 o’clock. The officers of the company learned that strikers were riding on the engines and trying to induce the new engineers to strike. They accordingly requested the police to in terfere. At each station one policeman was on duty, hut there was no outbreak. The strikers were in session at East, New York all day. As test as the new men were in duoed to strike, announcement of the fact was made at the meeting and was greeted with cheers. The joint committee* of the Brotherhoods of Locomotive Firemen and Engineers adopted “cards to the public,” in which they warn the public against the in competency of scab engineers, and also dis claim responsibility for any trouble or ob structions on the road. No trains were run after 10.36 o’clock to night, but the officers of the road say they have already had forty applicants for the striking engineers’ places. The applicants will be examined by the Master Mechanic to-morrow and it they prove competent they will be immediately put to work. The management say they are satisfied with the situation At the continued session of the strikers to-night the same feeling was ex pressed by the ex-employes of the road. Coke Region Strikers. Pittsburg, July 12.—Advices from the coke region state that the strikers at Jim town marched down to the works last night, and by tiring revolvers in the air, and bth wiso menacing the workmen, frightened a number of them away. The Pinkerton men were notified and a detachment of twenty five armed men was sent to guard the works. Everything was quiet this morning and the non-union men who were frightened off, all returned to work. The strike is now as far from a settlement as over. Tbo operators however are determined to resume opera tions and the new men will ho imported as soon as arrangements can be made to ac commodate them. The work of evicting the strikers wifi now be prosecuted with great vigor, as houses will be needed for the new men. CRUELTY TO CONVICTS. The Penitentiary Committee Hears Ad ditional Evidence. Atlanta, Ga., July 12. — There was a meeting of the Penitentiary Investigating Committee this afternoon. Dr. Houck, for awhile physician at the Old Town Camp, who testified at a former meeting of the committee, nlleging cruelty to convicts and excessive whipping by whipping-boss Hniitb, was recalled to-day for the purpose of get ting stenographic rejsirts of his testimony. Grave charges will bo made in the eomrfiit tee attacking the character of Houck. An affidavit, has been already laid beforo the committee charging him with gross im morality while camp physician, but the matter was considered with closed doors. H. P. Reagan (white), sent up from Spalding county in IXBO for three years, for /hooting at another, gave his experience at Old Town. He said convicts wore unmerci fully beaten by the whipping-bosses, that he had been several times whipped till the blood came, once by Mr. James himself, the only offense being talking back in self-de fense. He named other convicts similarly beaten. He also stub-d that ut Old Town men and women convicts were worked in gangs together in the fields. On the ques tion of diet, he said the ordinary rations were bacon, peas and com bread, but when the camp was visited by the legislative com mittees there was u magical improvement in the hill of fare. A hoof was killed, hogs slaughtered and lambs sacrificed to get up a goaf dinner, as the officers in charge were kept posted. Oil those days the convicts fared well. The witness was pardoned in 18X2 by Senator Colquitt, based on the fact tliat he was physically and mentally un sound. and an epileptic occasioned by former injuries. Chairman Huff, whon this came out, said that the cruel treatment of a mun in Ron gan’s condition was the strongest argument of all against the lease. Principal Keeper Towers was naked some ?uot ions as to his connection with t he office, t appeared from the reports of the whip piiig-oo.sw, produced by him at the call of the committee, that in June, at the Dado camp, with 4DI convicts, eight men were whipped, and in the same month, at the Clayton county railroad camp, of sixty convicts twelve were whipped. He could not give a reason for the difference. The committee adjourned till Friday afternoon. Madison's Railroad Fever.

( PRICE gtO A YEAR.I ) 5 CENTS A COPY.f NEGRO EPISCOPALIANS. THE OLD BONE OF CONTENTION DP IN SOUTH CAROLINA. The Committee Appointed by the Dele gates Who Withdrew From the Convention a Couple of Months Ago , Makes Its Report A Clear Statement of Their Action and Feeling. Charleston, July 12.—The committee appointed by the clerical and lay delegates who withdrew from the Diocesan Episcopal Convention in Charleston lost May have completed their statement of the causes which led to the withdrawal. It is signed by cx-Sccrctary C. S. Memininger, Edward McCrady, W. SrJ. Jervey, W. C. Bennett and C. G. K. Drayton, and will make a pam phlet of about sixty pages. The committee begin by sketching the history of the di viding question during the last twelve years, and contend that it shows that the position of the laity with regard to the admission of colored clergymen to diocesan conventions differs from that) of many of the ciergv, not in principle, but in expediency. In 1885 the question took the shape of an assertion of the right of all clergymen on the Bishop’s list to seats In the convention, independent of the action of that body and the virtue of tho clergyman’s office. THE QUESTION INVOLVED. The subject was avoided next year, hut came up in the convention last May, not as a matter of principle only, hut us involving the question of the admission of colored clergymen to church councils. The Bishop having ruled—notwithstanding the refusal of the convention to confirm the report of the committee on the clergy list-that tho convention was duly organized for business, and having ignored the refusal of the con vention to sustain his ruling, the dissidents had no choice but to submit, protest, resort to parliamentary expedient..-, or withdraw with dignity. They accordingly withdrew from the convention. It is recognised by the committee, however, that the point to be determined is whether the admission of colored clergymen to tho convention was contemplated in the constitution of tha church. A CHURCH OK A RACE. They contend that it was not, and that this “is the first attempt in the history of the church to make the church other than ai national church—that is a church of ai race.” They believe the seating of colored! clergymen in the convention to lie not only unconstitutional but dangerous; and in this relation recall tho resolution of Prentiss in. 1x75, asserting tho right of exclusion; the resolutions of the standing committee on the Saltus C we in 1870, recognizing the differen ce- of the two races brought together in thw diocese aud the i eport of the Kcwauee oond fereuce in favor of missionary organization because of tho peculiarity of the relations between the two races. It is argued that there is no danger whatever to any of tha i-oeinl barriers between the races, if the col ored people be token into the councils andl churches as equals of the whites, but tho committee are confident that the actual and praotieal result would lie to force negro so- 1 cial equality upon the people. THE DUTY OK TUB CHURCH. The duty and responsibility of the church in the Southern States, in regard to the ored people is fully recognized, but there ia no call “to take them into our councils.” Iu conclusion the committee give their reasons for holding that there was no legal conven tion in 188i. They claim that the election/ of the standing committee, and the at temptod alteration In the constitution were “void anil of no effect, even if had the ille gality of the Bishop’s ruling not otherwise vitiated its proceedings.” The importance of tho congregations represented by the dis sidents who withdrew from the convention is shown in an unmistakable way. Those who withdrew represented more than half of all the persons connected with the church and more than half of all the communicants. PROFITABLE PARISHES. They represented also parishes which pa> nearly two thirds of the convention ex penses, more than two-thirds of tho Bishop'* fund, and neat ly two-thirds of the contribu tions to the missions committee, anil that In withdrawing from thi‘convention they did not withdraw from the church. It is for tha laity to determine what their future course shall be. They will not impair their con nection with the church by withdrawing from union with the convention. They can If they choose send deputies with instructions to abandon the position which has been taken, and in admitting the colored element to the churuit councils “brave the dangers" from which the dissidents shrink. But if the laity desire that the right to iiss upon the clergy fist shall he abandoned, they must choose to represent them other deputies than those who withdrew from the convention of 1887.
