Attorner General Gluey was inform
ed Thursday that the miners of the
Conor D’Alene mines, in northern
Idaho, had assembled to the number
of (UK) men, and threatened to capturo
a train and move east. The civil and
military authorities have been advised
to take proper measures to prevent,
violence to property.
The revised regulations to be ob
served at foreign ports and at sea, and
at maritime quarantines of the United
States, and also on the Canadian and
Mexican border, prepared by Surgeon
General Wyman, of the marine hos
pital service, have been approved by
the treasury. The regulations to ho
observed at foreign ports take effect
ten days after they have been posted
in the office of the United States con
sul, according to the law.
The house committee on coinage,
weights and measures at Wednesday's
session postponed consideration of
the Meyer seigniorage bill until next
session, and decided to report a bill
for the free and unlimited coinago of
silver. ’I lie Moyer bill was submitted
to Carlisle and molded into shape by
him before it was presented to the
house. It provided for tho coinage
of the silver seigniorage in the treasu
ry and authorized the secretary of the
treasury to issue bonds at 3 per cent.
The silver republicans, under tho
lead of Teller and Dubois, have served
notice on the eastern republicans that
they bo treated to tho same medicine
administered to the silver republicans
during the light against the repeal of
0he Sherman act. At that time, the
silver republicans wero kept in tho
chamber day and night, the
eastern republicans joining with the
democrats to make a quorum. Now
the tallies are to bo turned. They
take the ground that the people elected
tho democratic congress, and that the
republicans are not responsible for
the kind of bill they pass. So far as
able, tho silver republicans will afford
the. democrats every opportunity to
pass tho bill, but will vote against it
on tlie final roll call.
Guarding the Treasury.
The treasury officials, while dis
claiming any fears of trouble on ac
count of the presence of the crowds
incident to the coming of Ooxey’s ar
my, have taken tho precaution of add
ing lifty-fivo carbines and twenty re
volvers to the treasury’s supply
of arms. Tho normal strength of
the watch force of tho treasury
is seventy men, divided into two re
liefs, and in addition to two or three
dozen revolvers, there have always
been thirty-five revolvers in the racks
in the office of the captain of the watch,
sufficient to supply one to each watch*
man on duty. It has been thought
best, however, to increase tho supply
in view of the crowds of hangers-on of
Goxey’s army that are expected to ur
riAe in the city.
The Agricultural Hill.
The house committee on agriculture
Friday completed the agricultural ap
propriation bill for the coining fiscal
year. The bill will curry an appropri
ation of about $2,150,00*0, being about
$118,000 less Ilian the appropriation
for the current fiscal year, and about
$215,000 above the estimates sub
mitted. The increase over the esti
mates w a- mad. principally in the ap
propriation for the piirchasennd distri
bution of seeds and the expenses of the*
bureau of animal industry. The secre
tary in his estimates asked for $35,000
for the* seed division und $700,000 for
the bureau of animal industry. The
committee increased the appropriation
for seed to $130,000 and that of the
bureau of animal industry to $800,000.
The additional $100,000 in the latter
suitable appropriation was made to prevent the
ry low spread of tuberculosis among cuttle.
A new provision was also inserted in
this section authorizing the secretary
of agriculture to expend $30,000 ot
this appropriation for the publication
of The Farmers' Bulletin, relating to
agricultural mutters generally. It was
also stipulated that all seed, plants and
cuttings allotted to senators and rep
resentatives in congress for distribu
tion remaining uncalled for on tho first
of May shall be distributed by the
secretary of agriculture.
Tho present law regarding tho pur
chase and distribution of seeds was so
as to confine their purchase and dis
tribution to “such seed as are rare aud
uncominou to the country, or such as
can be made more profitable by fre
quent changes from onp part of thfi
country to the qtbor,"
DAILY PROCEEDINGS OF DOTH
HOUSE AND SENATE.
Tho Discussion of Important Measures
Rrlefly Epitomized.
The O'Neill-Joy election case, from
tho eleventh district of Missouri, came
up in the house again'Tuesday through
an effort by Mr. Barthold t, of Missouri,
to have read a scries of resolutions
adopted by a mass meeting of citizens
of the district, denouncing the unseat
ing of Joy. He was unsuccessful, how
ever, the speaker ruling that tho reso
lutions presented no question of privi
lege. The house then went into com
mittee of the whole and took up the
postoffloo appropriation hill for the
year oudiug June 30. 1895.
The house, at 12:40 Wednesday, re
solved itself into committee of the
whole for consideration ot‘ the diplo
matic and consular appropriation bill.
At 1 :45 Thursday tho house went
into committco of tho whole and re
sumed the consideration of tho diplo
matic and consular appropriation bill.
The house spent Friday in the con
sideration of bills of no general im
portance. At one time no quorum re
sponded to tho roll call and the new
rule was enforced. The tellers kept
tab aud a quorum was found to bo
prCHQllt. x
The house, at 2 :15 Saturday, went
into committee of the whole on the
army appropriation bill.

Mr. Mills add rowed Iho senate in sup

In the senate Wodhesday, after Iho

(1 p. in. Objection was made by Mr.
Aldrich, acting for tlio republicans, to
continuing daily sessions later than 5
o’clock. Mr. Harria then put his ro-
quest in tho shape iff U motion, and on

Theob is a good iltul of quarreling
iu this world, and is ft few weeks tve
way look to «oo thefroos norne to blows,
WlmI Dun (V Co.Sny of tlio Past Work's
Business.
R. G. Dun A Co.’s weekly review of
trade says: When accounts of great
strikes and labor disturbances crowd
all the newspapers it is idle to look for
much improvement in business. The
bituminous coni miners quit work in
larger numbers than was expected and
the coko workers at once renewed with
greater unanimity the struggle recently
unsuccessful. While these great bodies
of men, besides the thousands who
were on strikes in building trades,
in silk, woolen and cotton mills, • turo,
in Alabama iron works and on
western railroads are refusing to work,
there are other thousands marching to
Washington, who claim that they seek
work in vain and thnt tho government,
must give relief. Both classes are en
gaged in making business worse,
because it. was bad already. That every
week of idleness for so many men must
appreciably lessen the aggregate power
to purchase products of labor is evi
dent but in spite of all some improve
ment still appears.
The iron and steel works in regions
where bituminous coal or coke iB used
as fuel, may be seriously interrupted
if the struggle is much prolonged, but
the immediate effect is to give a better
look to juices of some products in
those regions, uliilo eastern works feel
a somewhat larger demand. Payments
through all clearing houses were 20.1
j)ei cent smaller than a year ago, and
outside of New York 18.18 per cent,
smaller, but prices of commodities,
now averaging nearly 11 percent lower
than a year ago, account, for over half
of tho change.
No enlargement of commercial loans
ajipears, and money continues to aeon -
ululate at New York,though in smaller
amount the past. week. This state of
facts clearly indicates the general de
pression of trade niul industries, but
domestic exchanges have so far chang
ed that abatement of the (low of money

The Bishop oi Mississippi Talks Out
In Meeting.
Right Reverend Hugh Miller Thomp
son, bishop of Mississippi, has created
a very considerable stir among both
clergy and laymen in his animal ad
dress before the dioceseau council as
sembled at Jackson. After some criti
cism on the clergy he used this lan
guage: “But we can’t all bo elocution
ists, you say, nor pulpit orators. Well,
I am not so sure of that. To be one
or the other of even a somewhat distin
guished kind, as things go, requires no
wonderful endowment. For myself let
me frankly confess I never heard but
two preachers whom I could again cross
the street to hear: The late arch-
bishop of York, Dr. Magee, and my
dear friend, Dr. Pulmer, ol the First
Presbyterian church, of New Orleans,
who is wonderfully like him and is still
living, thank God.”
