The Dwyer & Ingel firm of rail road contractors had made a requisition at both places for at least three hundred workmen and as many more as wished to come to help grade a new branch of the Pennsylvania line near Millville, a short distance from Homestead.

The time allowed the post office committee having expired, with out action on any measure, the commit tee on public lands called up a few bills of little general interest and none of them succeeded in passing, the filibuster ing being so strong. Mr. Sayers then called up the senate amendments to the general deficiency bill, which have not yet been agreed upon. One hour was granted to debite ou the subject of In dian depredations claim*, one hour for French spoliation claims, one hour for the amendment paying the widows or legal representatives of deceased mem bers of congress, half hour for Pacific railroad claims and ten minutes for the item relative to the salary of the assistant attorney general in charge of the Indiau depreda tion claims.

Mr. Lind, of Minnesota in apposing the resolution, turned his attention chiefly to repre sentative Cooper, of Indiana, and the part Mr. Cooper bore in the investiga tion.

Mr. Hol man then move! that the house recede from its amendment granting to widows, or legal representatives of deceased mem ber’, the balance of the salary which such members would have received.

Wednesday. —The first two hours of the senate, Wednesday, were occupied in discussion of the Dill to permit the Pa gallop Ind ans in the state of Washing ton to a ien a portion of their l mds in the neighborhood of Tacom i. The mat ter was still under discussion when, at 2 o’clock, the anti-option bill came up as unfinished business. Mr. Vest assailed the measure as au undue stretch of the cons: itution, as an attemp' on the part of congress to exercise police powers within the states and as a delusion to farmers, whose interest he said it was masking. He declared it to be one of the most pernicious measures that had come before congress during fourteen years of bis service. Mr. Vest, in the course of further remarks, de nounced the bill as a “bold, wicked, legislative bighwaymau, booted and spurred.” Otder senators might find that they could, under some sort of ex cuse, vote f r such a bill, but he was unable to do n It could nqt be amended, because it was vicious in prin ciple. It was an attempt to meet the popular demand, but that, de mand was, in his judgment, not bused on the real condition of affdis. Mr. Wash burn defended the bill from some of Mr. Vist’s thrusts; and, as several other sen • ators took part in the discussion, inter est in the measure was well maintained for over three h urs Mr. Daniel had the floor, and was arguing ugainst it on some what the same lines as Mr. Vest had done, when the hour of adjournment came. lie gave notice that he would move to strike out sections 12 and 13. The bill was laid aside without action. A conference was orde e l on the defi ciency bill, and Messrs. Hale, Allison and Cockrell weie appointed conferees on the part of the senate. After a short execu tive session, the senate, at s:3oo’c'ock adjourned. Thursday —ln the senate, the dis agreeing conference report on the defi ciency app'opriation bill was presented, agreed to and a new conference asked. House amendments to the senate bill for the establishment of additional aids to navigation at Terapa, Fls., were dis agreed to and a conference was asked. Mr Carey, from the committee on terri tories, reported back the house bill for the admission of New Mexico as a state aud said that he w< uld not call it up until next session. 'The anti-option hill was taken up aud Mr. Washburn, in cherge of it. moved to strike out section 12, which he said he had never regarded as essentia!. It required every tuau who possessed property which he sold and who dealt in futures to take out a licerse and keep a record. No action wis taken on the amendment, and Mr. Daniel proceeded with his argument against the bill, which he had begun Wednesday. Mr. White, of Louisiana, next addressed the senntc in opposition the anti-option bill. Mr. White’s speech was a passionate and ener getic arraignmem of the bill as a usurp ation of state’s rights, as detrimental to the interests of the producers of the country. Mr. White did i.ot conclude liis speech, but the bill went over to Fri day. The house bill to enforce reciprocal commercial relations with Canada was laid before the senate and was placed on the calendar. The bills were passed granting pensions to survivors of the Indian war of 1882 to 1842, inclusive. The senate amendments to this bill were all withdrawn. The bill to provide for the improvement of the outer bar of Brunswick, Gi,, passed. The senate then adjourned after a brief execu'ive session. Friday. —The resolutions offered Thursday by Mr. Peffer, in the senate, instructing the judiciary committee to ir,quire into the relations of employes and employers, was taken up Friday M< rning and Mr. Peffer addressed the senate in its support. Mr. Peffer argued there was but three ways to meet labor troubles. One was for the government to keep its bands off and let employers and employes settle the matter between themselves; the second was for the gov ernment to establish and regulate the rate of wages; the third was that the government take possession of private manufacturing establishments and con duct them us public institutions. Mr. Pi tier’s preference was for the first named method. At the close of his re marks, the resolution wa9 leferred to the c mmittee on education and labor. The res ilution heretofore offered by Mr. Voorhees, looking to the establishment of a tribunal of arbitration in labor ques tions, was then taken up and Mr. Call addressed the senate in support of it. He a-gued that the employment of the Pinkerton detective force was a violation of law, and of the constitution, and that any man should be indicted for raising tro ips at h:s own sweet will and pleasure w.thout ibe sanction of the courts or of the authorities of the country. No action was taken on the resolution which went back to the table. The anti option bill was then taken up at 2:15 o’clock and Mr. White resumed his argument begun Thursday in opposition to it. There was, Mr. White said, a concensus of opinion on the part of the great commercial bod ies of the country against the measure. In proof of this he sent to the clerk’s d> sk and hail read resolutions of the Chamber of Commerce of the stutc of New York, protesting against it as injurious to the best interests of the community. He also sent up and had read protests of bankers of New York, Chicago and New Orleans against the bill. He also sent up and had read a list of other bodies that had sent memorials to congress against thb bill. That list comprised New York, New drleatis, Sa vannah, Houston, Mobile, Greenville and Memphis cotton exchanges, Milwaukee chamber of commerce, Chicago board of trade, New York produce exchange, New Orleans board of trade, New Orleans dealing house association, bankers, mill ers and merchants of Toledo, Ohio; Bal timore corn Bnd flour exchange) Chicago merchants and m mufacturerS) and Min neapolis clearing house association, btlsi , ness uuion and chamber of commerce, j Wero these great associations, he asked, 1 mere bodies of degraded and aoaudoue l gambleis? And yet that whs the inevit able outcome of arguments in support of the bill. Mr. White spoke for nearly three hours and when he closed the bid went over without action till Saturday. Mr. Divis asked and obtained unanimous consent to have taken up for immediate action the house hill to enforce reciprocal commercial arrangements between the United States and Cauadu. It was tiken up, read nnd passed without auv explana tion and without division. (It is the Canada canal tolls retaliation bill ) The house bill to pay t.e state of South Caro lina money to w hich she is entitled under the agricultural college bill, was reported a d passed. The senate then adjourned. Saturday. —ln the senate, Saturday, Mr. Morgan introduced a bill to provide for the control of the Uuion ami Central Pacific railroad com panies until their debts to the govern ment be fully paid up or secured. It was referred to a select committee on Pa cific railroads. The house bill granting right of way to the Pensacola Terminal company through lands of the naval res ervation near Pensacola, was granted. Monday. —ln the senate, Monday, Mr. Vest introduced a joint resolution author izing the pr.si lent to proffer to Great Britain, Germany and Franco as an in ducement to enter into an international agreement for the free coinage of silver, a reduction of 25 per cent in tariff duties on textiles, hardware, earthenware and glass. Laid on the table. The anti options bill was then taken up. Mr. George addre-sed the seuate. At 2 o’clock Mr. George yielded the floor temporarily at the re quest of Mr. Allison, who presented tho conference report on the sundry civil ap propiiation bill. The report, although referring to amendments of the bill by numbers, covered many pages of type written paper, and its reading occupied twenty-five minutes. Mr Allison made an explanation at the conference report, stating that, outside of the provisions about the world’s fair, there wus but one other matter left open, the provision in serted by tho house, prohibiting the em ployment of Pinkerton detec'ivcs. He went somewhat into detail upon other poiuts, on which the senatd conferees had surrendi red. The report was agreed to, and n furihe-r couference was asked as to the points on wdiich there had been no agre ment. The senate voted to insist on its amendments agreed to by the house, and- asked for a further conference, and then, at 3 o’clock p. m., the si nate w ent into execu tve Be sion. After the doors were re opened and some unimportant business had been transacted, Mr. Georgo resumed tlie floor, and held it until 5: JO o’clock, his speech beiDg an argument in favor of his own substitute for the anti-optio i bill. After a short executive se sion, the Semite, at 5:55 o’clock, adjourned. NOTES. 'I he world’s fair people have done some good work in the house within the last few days, and the indications are that when the $5,000,000 appropriation is voted on again they will have a ma jority of the house. Thu senate, on Friday, confirmed the nomination of Ministers White io Russia, Snowden to Spain and Beale to Greece, Roumania ami Servia, all nominated Thursday. Cyrus W. Field, son of the re cently deceased t yrus W. Field, who was nominated consul to Brunswick, Germany, was also confirmed. The World’s Fair Bill. Congress will not adjourn on the date fixed bv resolution of the house. The conference committee on the sundry civil bill announced on Friday that they would ba unable to report till Monday. The senate added $10,000,000 to the bill os it passed the house, including the $5,000,000 for the world’s fair, and, of course, there has been much work for the conference committee. When made, the report will have to be printed, and it is not probable that the world’s fair amend ment can be voted upon again before Wednesday. Should it be again voted down in the house, adjournment can be had by Monday week, but in the event the world’s fair people have the voles they claim now, then the opponents of the appropriali «n will commence fili bustering, which might la-t several weeks. Frsxress on tbe .Sundry Civil Bill. The committee of conference on the sundry civil appropriation bill made un expectedly rapid progress Saturday, nnd succeeded in adjusting the points of dif ference between tbe two houses, except in regard to the world’s fair appropria tion of $5,000,000. They will report a total disagreement on that amendment. The other senate amendments (some 300 in number), which were non-concurred in by the house, provide for an addition to the bill of about six million dollars, dis tributed through almost all branches of the service which it covers. The senate con ferees agree to recommend th it the senate abandon about four million dollars of this amount, and the house conferees rec ommend that the house agree to grant the remaining two mil’ion. The con ferees have stricken from the bill all the new legislation inserted by the house in regard to district attorneys and marshals. The managers on the part of the house consent to the senate increase of the ap propriation for survey public land from $290,000 to $375,000, and van ous other larger amendments are agreed to or compromised, so as to fix the amounts as follows: For the international momentary conference, $80,000; for the enforcement of tbe Chii ese exclusion act, $100,000; for the spicial fund tube placed in the hands ot tho president for use in case of need to prevent ths spread of epidemic diseases, sloo,(Jud. Among tho senate amend ments wholly stricken out are those ap propriating SIO,OOO each for tile widows of three supreme court justices. CLfcVE AND STEVE .Votlfled of their Nomination—Orxxt Gathering at Madison Square Gordon. Grover Cleveland anil Adlni Stevenson have been officially notified that they ar# the choice of thu democracy of this great country to lead the party to victory or defeat. The notification took place Wednes day flight at Madison square Garden, Now York City, In tho presence of a crowd of people that surpa sed iu enthu siasm and memb ’rs even the vast throng that, on September 6, 1888, at the same place gave greeting to Allen G. Thurman, The great amphitheater of Madisou Square garden was crowded as it never had been before nnd a thousand and odd eectfic lights twinkled in wonder as they looked down from their lofty perches upon tho s a of heads and at the gesticulations of speakers. A STRUGGLING MASS. Madison avenue, Twontv-aixth to Twenty seventh streets nnd Fourth ave nue were crowded as early as 0 o’clock, ft was a smuggling mass of humanity pushed like waves against a pile of rocks, iu this instance being burly policemen who showed no favors, took no back talk, simply pushing people back until the management s»w fit t open tbe por >ala of the great bad. When the doors were opened the people overrode the police, clubs and nil. They made one frantic rush for seals, and in the remark ably short space of ten minutes all the room in tbe building that remained va cant was the reserved seats on the plat form and the boxes, THE CANDIDATES APPEAR. Mr. btevenson was the first to appear, but Mr. Cleveland soon followed. After waiting soma time for an opportunity to be heard aud ’or the uproar of applause to subside, Mr. Cleveland arose and Mr. Wilson notified him iu a speech of ten minutes duration that he had beeu nomi nated for the presidency. Owing to the great din that prevailed it was with diffi culty that Mr. Wilson’s voice could be heard. READING THB OFFICIAL LETTER. Secretary Nicholas Bell, of the notifi cation committee then read the official letter of notification. Mr. Cleveland then arose to reply and again pandemonium reigned. II is voice could not be heard ten feet from the platform. The people weie«ot aware that he had begun and when it gradually dawned upon them that they weru losing the best part of tho speech they quieted down ■nd the tones of the ox-president were heard in every part of the house. He was listened to attentively and interrupted but seldom. It was 9:10 o’clock when the cx-presi dent finished. He closed amid cheers and cries of “four—four—four years more. NOTIFYING MR STEVENSON. The next speaker, ex-Lieutenant Gov ernor. Steven M. White, of California, had more success wiih his speech, notify ing General Stevenson of his nomination, than did Mr. Wilson in bis effort. Mr. White’s voice was most powerful. He quelled the disturbance by its very loud ness. GsncrAl StevcDSOu exhibited some signs of nervousness as he stepped forward to respond, but quickly recovered his com posure and gazed calmly on tho crowd ai it cheered. If General Stevenson had any doubts iu his mind as to the enthusiasm of a New York audiencu they were com pletely effaced by the reception he got. Ho delivered his speech with effect, and at its conclusion received tremendous applauso. At the conclusion of General Steven ron’s speech the meeting was adjourned. THE LARGEST MEETING HELD. It is no exaggeration to ssy thxt prob ably never has there been in the history of New York suoh an immense crowd gathered under one roof. An idea of the crowd can be had when it is known that the seating rapacity of Madison Square garden is in the neighborhood of tight thousand, and that between twenty and thirty thousand were there ossem bled. NEW MEN AT HOMESTEAD, The Strikers’ Places Being Rapidly Filled—No Trouble Thus Far. A Pittsburg dispitch ’»yi> The steam er Tide left the wharf here at 9 o’clock Friday morning for Homestead with about forty men on board and will con tiDue to make trips all day, carrying men to Homestead in connection with iheLit tle Bell, which took out a load eaily this morning. The boat was guarded by n squad of policemen to prevent trouble at the wharf or at lock No. I. At the office of the Tide it was learned that the boats would be busy all day and it is evident that a large number of men will be sent up. AU the morning men with satchels and bundles were coining to aud going from the office of the company and it looks as if the company were carrying out their intention and make good their claim that all the men needed could be obtained. Another dispatch says: A high official of the Carnegie Steel Company when asked by an Associated I ress reporter as to the condition of affairs at Horn- stead replied that it was very encouraging for the firm. A number of new men have gone to work. Some strikers went bick Friday and the company has more work men than it can easily handle. Appli cations for employment are being re ceived rapidly, but only good men are engaged. THE DALTON GANG Putting on a Bold Front and Defyiug the Authorities. A dispatch of Monday from Adair, In dian Territory, states tLat tne members of the Dalton gang, who recently held up and robbed the Missouri, Kansas and Texas express train are camped twenty five miles from Adair and are making no effort to escape from the country.
