moving trains.
The Buffalo express, or newspaper train,
moved out exactly on time at 4:oo o clock,
rnd before 7 o’clock two trains had been
“ nt out over the Harlem aivision. Having
so far the management set
about maki g its plans for the day, and
soon afterwards an announcement was made
tZt all trains would be run to-day except the
Croton Leals, both noith and south-bound.
It was thought advisable to abandon these
trains altogether, but at the same time, to
meet the emerge cy, the management ar
ranged so that all trams should stop at all
wav stations, so that the local traveling
public might be put to as little mconven
jeuc-as possible. This order applies to all
stations north of Spuyten DuyviL
THE POLICE ARRANGEMENTS.
The police arrangements remain about
the same as yesterday, with the exception
that the men were told to be ever watchful
today, and not to leave their posts for even
au instant. .
Pi eciselv at 6 o’clock this morning Third
Yiee President Webb, entered the sanctum
allotted to him in the depot. A reporter
immediately stepped forward and said: “It
is reported ,Mr. Webb that the firemen of
the road have joined the strikers.”
“That statement is untrue. The firemen
have not strucK, and all trains so far are
running all right, and every one of them
left here fully manned.”
“What about the signal to wors.”
“They are also fully manned, and the
men changed their shifts this morning as
though no strike had ever occurred. Tne
fact is, my young friend," continued Mr.
Webb, warming up uud smiling, “every
thing is beautiful all along the road.”
TROUBLE AT SYRACUSE.
The third vice president kept on reading
letters and telegrams as he spoke. “By the
way,” as though anew idea had struck
him, he said, "1 should have said all along
the mad except at Syracuse. At that point
the railroad is not getting sufficient pro
tection. I have telegrapued to Gov. Hill
asking him to send out plenty of militia in
order to protect the employes of our road.”
"What, if anything, has been done in the
direction of moving freight, which has
already suffered much delay?" was asked.
“We have already made arrangements
for moving freight this morning and relays
of men are already at work at Sixty-sixth
street, Thirtieth street and St. John’s
park. It i our intention to set about mov
mg freight at these points at 8 o’clock this
morning, and lain proud to say that all
have an ample supply of policemen to save
us from auy trouble.”
DEPEW NOT BEARD FROM.
"Have you any objection, Mr. Webb, to
saving whether or not you have heard from
Ar. Depew in relation to the strike? 1 ’
“I have not heard from Mr. Depew yet,
am., indeed, I don’t expect to hear from Mr.
Depew to-dav. You see we have coped with
the strike so far ourselves, and J think that
the worst of it is over, so that you can
readily see that there is no likelihood that
wr. Depew will be called upon to interfere,
ho far, as 1 said, all is well.”

which left the Grand Central depot at 4:25
o’clock this morning was the first tram to
get to Buffalo over the New York Central’s
track. This train reached DeWitt, where
the trouble occurred yesterday, at 5 o’clock
this afternoon and found the yards, where
it was impossible to get tho train through
yesterday, entirely in the hands of the rail
road company. The switches were all
manned, and everything was in thorough
running order. This was the first train to
raise the blockade.
On to-day’s schedule at the Grand Central
depot there were 13S Central railroad
trains. Of these 120 left the depot almost on
time.
THE SITUATION AT EAST SYRACUSE.
Syracuse, N. Y., Aug. II. —All is quiet
in Syracuse, the railroad trouble being con
fined to the yards at East Syracuse, which
seems to be the key to the situation. The
Central authorities began running all the
passenger trains over the West Shore road
to-day, switching at Kirkville on tho east
and Oswego Junction on the west, bringing
trains back onto the Central line here. The
Central tracks through Syracuse are practi
cally abandoned.
Pinkerton men are acting as deputy sher
iffs, and the Twenty-sixth separate com
pany of Elmira and Twenty-ninth and
Thirtieth separate companies ot Oswego are
encamped in this city wait ng orders. The
Fifth battery moved out this morning, but
was ordered back. At East Syracuse after
breakfast the strikers, 500 in number, re
paired to the yards. Detectives had been on
watch all night, but had nothing to do.
Leader James Bourko was on hand and
counselled his followers to avoid violence.
He said they were going to win, aud were
more confident than ever. All the forenoon
the main tracks of the Csntral were clear.
The strikers said they would let tho mails go
through, providing there were no passengor
coaches attached. The news that there were
Pinkerton men and detectives at Syracuse
seemed to disconcert the strikers.
The report of strikes on the West Shore
and Delaware aud Lackawanna r adi are
untrue. These roads are running as usual.
PINKERTON MEN IN POSSESSION.
Syracuse, N. Y., Aug. 11, 11:50 p. m.—
The yard is cleared of strikers, and the
Pinkerton men have possession at East
Syracuse. Tne Pinkerton detective force,
reinforced by others from the west, went to
Syracuse at 4 o’clock this afternoon with
Under Sheriff Austin and several deputy
sheriffs and an outside force of railroad
employes. At the yard they formed in line
a,;d advanced through the front yard, all
the strikers retiring before them without
rejistanoe. Tne Pinkerton aud railway
men thou began tho work of making up
and forwarding freight cars containing
perishable property, which were tied up
there.
A BATCH OF MAIL RECEIVED.
At 4:05 o’clock a train bringing the mail
from the east, which should have reached
here at 10:30 o’clock, arrived in this city
aud was the first passenger train to go
through East Syracuse. At 4:30
o’clock the train that should have
gene east at 2:30 o’clock pulled
nut of the Central station, closely
followed by a special train of four cars
filled with Pinkerton forces and railroad
men. At 6:30 o’clock the first freight train
from East Syraouse pulled into the city.
It was a very long line of cars. A reporter
was informed that the secret of the whole
matter was that Gov. Hill felt compelled to
take action in reference to the strike. The
strikers will not make any demonstrations.
THE DAY QUIET.
Albany, N. Y., Aug. 11, 11:50 p. m.—
Everything has been quiet here to-day.
The passenger service is somewhat better
than yesterday, but everything is still in a
state or chaos around the Central station as
compared with the usual order of things.
Trains running between Albany and New
York were some of them au hour late,
while those from the west were from two to
ten hours late. No attempt will be made
to move freight from the West Albany
yard until the Pinaerton forces are in
creased so as to picket the yards. A train
w hieh blocks the upper railroad bridge is
still lyiug there, and the stench which arises
from the decaying beef in the cars is sick
ening. A committee from the Knigh's of
Labor waited upon the Delaware and Hud
son ro id's officials to-day and were told
that the road would in no maimer assist the
Central. A like comm unicatio i was re
ceived from the officers of t ie Bpston and
Albany aud Pittsburg road. The local
assemblies have an overflowing treasury,
theysny, and the men need not want for
auytning for three months to come, if it is
necessary to remain out.
TRAINS BELATED AT BUFFALO.
Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 11.—The situation
on the Central road here was unchanged
this morning, as the strikers wero few in
number and keeping very quiet. Trains
from the east were coming in several hours
late. The Chicago limited, scheduled
to reach the Exchange street de
pot at 8:35 o’clock last night,
got here about 5 o’clock this morning,
and at 1:30 o’clock was still standing in the
depot. About the Ceutral depot there was
nothiug unusual except the difficulty found
in handling the new men so that trains
could be sent out pro uptly. This, of
course, is almost au impossibility, and the
result is considerable confusion.
WHY THE STRIKE WILL FAIL.
All the Other Labor Organizations
Atralnst the Knights.
Chicago, Aug. 11.—Representatives of
the New York Central railroad company
are in this city hiring men to take the places
of the striking switchmeu. A gang of fifty
recruits was forwarded to Buffalo, Satur
day, aud another lot was sent this morning.
They nre promised #7O per month for
switchmen and $65 for brakemen, an
advance of sls and $lO respectively over
the wages ruling for these classes of men on
that road.
The Pinkerton agency here has also re
ceived an order for a large number of men
to act as guards at various points along the
line of the road.
Grand Master Sweeney, of the Switch
men's Brotherhood, says ho will not call out
the switchmen on the Michigan Central and
Lake Shore roads to assist the sinkers on
York Ceutral. He says it is purely
a Knight of Labor strike, and that they
will have to fight it out as best they may.
The same feeling seems to prevail among
the brakemen.
OTHER ORDERS HOLD ALOOF.
An evening paper says: “A man high in
the councils of one of the great organiza
tions of railroad employes gave a reporter
some information of great import to those
who are awaiting the result of the strike on
the New York Central. Ho said: ‘1 have
received dispatches this morning which
convince me that the back of the New
York Central strike is broken. The
men will have to g 0 back to work
at the company's terms within a very s iort
time. The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen, Brothers >d of Trainmen and the
Switchmen's Mutual Aid Association have
h itu appral-d to aud have each refused to
give any assistance whatever to the Knights
of Labor.
“ ‘This means that the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern cannot by any possibility
be lied up, aud that the broth-mood men
stand ready to handle Nw York Central
cars.
WHY THEY JOINED THE*KNIGHTS.
“ ‘To make the situation clear it will be
necess iry to go into some explanation.
When the Knights of Labor first organized a
foothold was gained in New York state,
especially over the lines of the New York
Central, railroad men all over the country,
it is true, following the example of the New
York Central men became Knights of
Labor, under the impression that
a great amalgamation of laboring men
would aid them as switchmen, firemen and
engineers. The experience of a few cmtly
and unsuccessful strikes taught them their
mistake, however, and the consequence was
a general withdrawal of railroad men from
knighthood. On the New York Central
alone did the Kuignts of Labor power
remain in any degree firm and even there
the various brotherhoods suoceeleJ in gain
ing the divorce of a good many knights
from their organization, but the general
executive board of tho order interfered to
prevent further demoralization of the
assemblies.
LABOR AGAINST LABOR.
“ ‘The result was a fight between the
Knights of Labor and tne brotherhood,
which has been waged sometimes with heat
and sometimes in quiet. Every time the
brotherhood men have declared a strike
tho Knights of Labor men have done some
thing to prevent its success. Much the
same has been the course of (he brother
hood. Consequently when the executive
officers were requested Saturday to give
assistance to the Knights of Labor a
refusal was immediately wired back. The
other brotherhoods here have done the same
thing. To make the situation worse for the
strikers, tho western Knights of Lab ir are
against giving the New York Central men
auy assistance on the ground that the call
ing out of the men was injudicious and un
necessary. If they wanted to give help to
the strikers they should not tie-up any west
ern Vanderbilt lines, for they have not a
baker’s and oeu of Knights of Labor on these
roads. The collapse of the strike will moan
the strengthening of the brotherhoods in
New York, and will benefit railroad men
all over the country.’ ”
FALL RIVER MILLS.
All of Them Cease Operations for Sixty
Hours.
Fall River, Mass., Aug. 11. —Curtail-
ment of producjjon generally went into
effect at the cotton mills this morning.
Nearly three-quarters of the corporations,
including the Anna wan, Bernard, Cresoent,
Cornell, Chase, Dursee No. 2, Flint, Fall
River Manufacturing, Granite Nos. 1 and
2, Hargraves, Laurel, Lake, Mer
chants, Metacomet, Mechanics, Os
borne, Pocasset, Rolzzon, Richard
Manufacturing Company, Shore, Slade,
Stafford, Troy and Lemon mills shut down
this morning for sixty hours. The Ameri
can linen mill, which has already been
closed for some days, is still silent. The
Wampanog ran to-day but closes to-mor
row. The Sagamore Company, which had
one mill, closed, aud the Derfee Company,
which had mills No. 1 and 2 running,
ordered in their help this morning. Ton
will take off about 190,000 packages of
goods. Several of the mills paid off
Saturday, but most of them will pay during
the week or next Monday in order to retain
their hands. Crowds of operatives are on
the streets and the city has a holiday
appearance. The Spinners’ Union has unan
imously decided to withdraw from the
trades council, and that tody is practically
disrupted. Only three labor todies remain
in it aud one of those is considered defunct.
The weavers will probably withdraw
from the oouncil at its monthly meeting to
morrow.
A Strike for Nina Hours.
Pittsburg, Aug. 11.—The demand for a
nine hours day, made by the machinists of
Pittsburg, went into effect to-day. At

Boston, Aug. 1L —Grand Army week
opened hero with bustle aud excitement.
Fortunately the weather is cool, light over
coats being in demand. Visitors have been
coming to the city for several days in
crowds, but to-day they swarmed in, and
the streets have been filled with marching
bcdies of men in process of distribution to
their quarters.

Gallatin, with Gov. Brackett, Col. Beard
and Mr. and Mrs. McKee on board, aud
escorted her to her anchorage.
THE CITY’S REPRESENTATIVES.
Mayor Hart and other members of the
city government also went down the har
bor in the J. Putnam Bradley to welcome
the chief magistrate, while Mrs. Noble aud
the other ladies wore on board the Vigi
lant. President Harrison landed about
5:40 o’clock amid tho thunder of cannon at
Rowe's wharf, and was escorted to tho
Hotel Vendome by the First Battalion of
cavalry, tha route being through
Broad, State, Washington, Tremont,
Boylston and Dartmouth streets.
The sidewalks and windows along
the line of march, which was nearly two
miles long, were packed with enthusiastic
multitudes, who greeted the President with
hand-olappings aud cheers. The President
rode with Gov. Brackett in a carriage
drawn by four dark bays. He carried his
hat in his hand and bowed right and left at
the greeting of the throngs. Behind rode
Secretaries Rusk and Noble, and in the third
carriage wore Private Secretary Halford
and the members of the governor’s staff.
IN THE DINING HALL.
A few minutes having boon allowed tha
visitors to remove the marks of travel the
party proceeded to the state dining hall,
where two long tables were arranged
lengthways with the room and one across
the hall. At the latter Gov. Bracket occu
pied the post of honor, and the scute’s gue.-t,
President Harrison, sat at his right, with
Secretary Proctor on his left. Also seated
at this table were Secretary Noble, Secre
tary of Agriculture Rusk, Gov. Leon
Abbott of New Jersey and Lieut. Gov.
Hale of Massachusetts. The other tables
were filled with distinguished guests from
abroad aud prominent citizens.
SILENCE THAT WAS PAINFUL,
Tho company sat down shortly before 7
o’clock and it was past 8 when Gov. Brackett
broke the almost painful stillness that had
prevailed throughout the entire feast with
the announcement that carriages were in
w aiting. This was the only audible speech
that was made during the banquet, the en
tire absence of speech-making being one of
the conditions upon which Gen. Harrison
accepted the invitation. Escorted by the
governor and the members of his party
they were driven to the Parker
house, where they attended a reception
given by E. W. Kinsly of
Boston to Lnfeyette Post No. 149 of New
York. Vice President Morton, Secretary
Tracy, Gen. Sherman and Postmaster
Corse were on the list of the state guests at
the banquet, but Secretary Tracy tele
graphed from Bar Harbor that the
United States Steamship Dispatch Would
not reach Boston till to-morrow morning.
MISSISSIPPI'S CONVENTION.
A Large Number of Delegates on the
Ground.
Jackson, Mibs., Aug. 12.—A large num
ber of delegutes to the constitutional con
vention, which meets in representative hall
to-morrow at 12 o’clock, have arrived.
Caucusing over the presidency of
the convention is being indulged
in to a considerable extent.
The most prominent candidates are
S. S. Calhoun, M. Street, R. C. Patty and
Gen. YV. 8. Featherstone. They are all on
the ground. Several other candidates are
also spoken of.
There are only two candidates for clerk,
B. E. Wilson of this city aud Mr. Hamil
ton of Durant.
T here are several applicants for the other
places.
ONLY ONE CONTEST.
There will be only one contest. Messrs.
Pearmanand Moore, democrats, of Bolivar,
will contest the right of Messrs. Melcherer
aud Montgomery, republicans, to hold
seats in the convention. The latter have a
prima face case, as they hold the Secre
tary of State’s certificate. One ground
relied on by Messrs. Pearmau and
Moore is that the tickets voted
for Messrs. Melcherer and Montgomery
did not state what country he was to rep
resent. T e Secretary of State will call the
convention to order and Bishop Gallo way
open tbe proceedings with prayer.
All the delegates here conce le that the
suffrage question is one of greatest import
ance, although there are many other ques
tions of importauce that will come before
the convention.
A SMALL-POX SCARE.
The People of a Mississippi Town on
the Hun.'
New Orleans, Aug. 11.—A special to the
Times-Democrat tram Meridian, Miss.,
says: “A great deal of excitement is re
ported at Hattiesburg, Miss., over an
alleged outbreak of smnll-pox. A little girl
arrived there not long ago from Mexico and
soon after was taken sick. Saturday it was
decided that she had small-pox, and about
sixty people left town at once. Since then
thre < others have been taken sick and all
the towns on the Northeastern road have
become alarmed, ami several have quaran
tined against Hattiesburg. One physican
says it is chickenpox, but tbe idea is not
credited and a most stringent quarantine
has been in effect In many places.”
A NEGRO FOB AUDITOR.
Kansan Republicans Kxpected to Give

Saliva, Kan., Aug. 11. — A convention
of 4UO negroes, from all parts of the state,
met here to-day to decide upon a colored
man as a candidate for state auditor at the
coming republican state convention. U. K.
Bruce, of L'-aveawoi tb, presided. Johu L,
Waller, of Kansas City, Kan., was chosen
as the candidate and a committee of fifty
was appointed to press bis otuirn before the
coiiveutiou. Resolutions were adopted

ticket*
SESSION OF THE HOUSE.
Mr. Rogers Raises Objection to the
Approval of the Journal.
Washinuton, Aug. 11.—In the House
this morning, the journal haring been read,
Mr. Rogers of Arkansas rose to object to its
approval, but Speaker Reed recognized Mr.
Cannon to move the previous question. Mr.
Cannon, however, yielded to Mr. Rogers,
on the representation of the latter gentle
man that be did not desire to waste time,
but to correct an error which appeared in
the journal.
Mr. Rogers then stated that the journal
incorrectly reported the point of order
raised by him Saturday when Mr. Euloe of
Tennessee was claiming the floor on a ques
tion of privilege. After a little sparring be
tween the speaker and Mr. R ’gars, the pre
vious question was ordered and the journal
approved, the sjieakor counting a quorum.
SUNDRY CIVIL APPROPRIATIONS.
The House then took up the conference
report on the sundry civil appropriation
bill. After a brief debate,in tho course of
which Mr. Dockerv predicted a deficiency
of between $20,000,000 and $23,000,000 in the

RETALIATING ON CANADA.
The Canadian Railways to be Made
Its Basis.
Washington, Aug. 11.—There are evi
dent signs that the adminstration contem
plates a policy of retaliation on the Cana
dian railroads for the alleged Canadian
aggressions on our fishing vessels in the
east, aud our fur seals in the west. It will
not be publicly proclaimed a policy of retal
iation, but the laws aud regulations gov
erning the Cauadian railways in their
relations with this country will simply be
administered as strictly and severely as
possible. Canada is to bo squeezed until
she consents to let us have our own way in
eastern and western waters. Secretary
Blaine complained that he had nothing
to ti ade upon in negotiating with Canada.
He will be given something substantial to
trade jupon by this move.

CARDINAL. NEWMAN DEAD.
A Sketch of HU Distinguished Career
In the Church.
London, Aug. 11.—Cardinal Newman
died to-day from pneumonia.
John Henry Newman, D. D., was born
in London in 1801. He was ordained in
1834, and in the following year his friend.
Dr. Whately, having been appointed head
of St. Alban’s hall, Newman was selected
by him as his vice principal.
He was one ot the most act
ive in commencing and carrying ou the so
called Oxford movement, the great object
of which was to counteract as well the
R nimnizing as the dissenting tendencies of
the time, by restoring and bringing into
notice what Newman and his friends be
lieved to be thejk'athoUo character of the
English church. With this view he began, in
1833, the series kuowu as the Oxford Tracts,
to which he himself was one of the chief
contributors, and in 1838 he also became
editor of the British Critic. In October,
1815, he was admitted into the Catholic
church, a step which was immediately fol
lowed by the publication of a work on the
Development of Doctrine. Soon afterward
he went to Rome, where, aft 'r some pre
paration. he was admitted to orders in the
Catholic church. On his return to England
in 1848 he established a branch of tho Con
gregation of the Oratory of Saint Philip
Neri, of which he was himself appointed
superior. In 1852 ho was appointed rector
of the Catholic university established in
Dublin, and In 1873 he was made a cardinal
by Pope Loo XIII.

More Light Thrown on the Anglo-
French Agreement.
London, Aug. 11. —In the House of
Lords to-day the Marquis of Salisbury
st ted that the British agreement with
France maintained tbe rights and privileges
of missionaries in Madagascar, and insured
the freedom of religious teaching. Under
the modern doctrine of “Hinterland,”
France c:nimed the countries south of
Algeria and Tunis, and on the same prin
cijdo the English Niger Company could
claim the territories behind its present
sphere of operations.
A DIVIDING LINE DESIRABLE.
It was obviously desirable to draw a line
separating tbe English and French spheres
of activity. Tbe line agreed upon gave a
large part of the we tern shore of Like
Tohadi to the Niger country, including the
empire of Sokato. The country northoast
of Lake Tchad would be considered under
French influences. The notos exchanged by
tbe two governments recognized the fact
that the agreement would not affeot the
rights of the regions south of Tripoli.
ENGLAND’S ARMY REVOLTS.

London, Aug. 11.—Further and more
serious trouble has occurred among tho
troops in the garrison at Chatham. A few
days ago the harness of the horses belong
ing to the artillery battery there were so
badly cut and damaged by some of the
members of the ba'tory that it was neces
sary to abandou the proposed parade of the
battery. To-dav it was discovered that the
harnesses had again been hacked and cut iu
such a manner as to render them entirely
useless. Three of the artillery men who
wero leaders in the mutinous movement
have deserted.
FAMINE PRICES IN WAI.ES.
The Strike of the Railroad Banda Outs
Off Supplies.
London, Aug. 11.— The strike of the em
ployes of the railway companies in Wales
and the cons quent cutting off of transporta
tion facilities has had the effect of causing
famine prices to bo asked for provisions in
the Rhodda valley. Negotiations looking to
a settlement of the trouble between the men
and the railway directors have been re
sumed. Another meeting of the directors
was held at Cardiff to-day, at which the
decision previously arrived at to reject tb
demands of the men was reaffirmed. The
chamber of commerce has adopted a resolu
tion approving the attitude of the employ
ers.

6BNATOR CAMERON OPPOSED TO
ITS PASBAOE.
Harrison and Reed, However, Deter-*
mined That it Shall be Passed—Adop
tlon of Closure the Only Way la
Which It Can be Put Through tha
Senate.
Washington, Aug. 11.—Senator Cam
eron is quotel as saying that he will nod
vote for the force bill; that ho does not sea
any need of it or demand for it, and thad
he thinks its only effect would be to pro
mote strife between the two sections.
Before h left for B stem. President Har
ris on said to a republican senator: "Before
this session of congress adjourns it should
pass tho tariff jbill, the federal election bill
and a reapportionment bill It must da
so."
Speaker I teed has said the same thing in
an oven more positive way.
President Harrison has said it to all tha
republican senators who have been at tha
white house.
Speaker Reod has gone even to the Sonata
to say it.
NOT APT TO PASS.
Yet. at the present writing, Jit looks aer
though President Harrison and Speaker
Reed would he very fortunate if they god
the tariff bill alone through congress this
session. It is iierfectly evident now that
oven the tariff bill cannot be put through
before Oct. 1 at tbe present rate of progress,
which is pretty certain to b kept no. Tha
House, under Speaker Reeu’s direction,
might pass a reijip irtionment bill afte**
Hef>t. 1, when Porter nays he will furnish
the completed rough count of the 64,000,000,
but that would only ho to pile up one mora
bill on the Senate table.
ONLY ONE WAY TO DO IT.
Nothing but a change of tho rules will
enable the Harrlson-Heed combination to
get the force bill or the reappointment bill
through the Senate this session,and Senator
Edmunds and hi* supporter* have sot their
laces more firmly than over against tha
introduction of lieedism into the Senate. In
all Speaker Reed’s assertions that his system
has become established and approved
throughout the country he ought to exempli
the United States Senate, where it is dis
approved and cannot bo established. This
is the judgment of the men who have tha
best opportunities for observing its work
ings and effect.
THE PRESSURE ON EDMUNDS.
The pressure on Senator Edmunds from
his republican colleagues who want a
change of the rules in the Senate is shown
by the order he prosposed to the Senate to
day limiting the debate on the tariff bill.
It might seem that Senator Edmunds
proposed to introduce anew delay in tha
Semite, for it will take almost as much
debate to pass the order at it would to
change the rules. If It is not referred to the
committee on rules it can
be debated Indefinitely under
democratic opposition, which so far cannot)
bo called filibustering. An arbitrary closure
of the debate on this or.ier wouid be just
tho same os the arbitrary closure of de ate
ou a proposition to elm go the rules, which
is “just tha thing” Senator Edmunds has
been fighting. It remain* to bo seen whether
the republicans will solidly go to this ex
treme.
