Washtoston, JulylO/raia was Bitspen
t ,ou day in toe house, under the rjilcs,
Our before the rule was enforced some
routine business was transacted.
Senate amendments to the naval ap
propriations bill W*e disagreed to, and
it was sent to conference.
Hr. McCreary ottered the following,
resolution:
Ik-solved, Tliffll tbo bouse of repre-
seutO'tives Indoiues tbo prompt and vig
orous efforts of the presldout and his
adintojsttwttan «o suppress lawlessness,
restore order and prevent improper in-
terferenoe with the mails of the Uni
ted States and with toteRatato com
merce, and pledges the president lte
hwuvy support ami deems the success
which has already attended his ellarta
as cause for public and general con-
gwtuljttion.
Jlr. Ptiiioo (Populist) of Colorado said
tiie resolution wemt ifuii'Uliei* tliaai be
tUouybt ulie iU-smblicaa fcJ.de of the
bust-, at least, was desirous of going:
in jupioval ot tire sidmi'udsitrwitaou- It
migut. be, be said, that t'be itiime would
come whm there would be sudh a con-
lliot between striking laborers af tlio
country awl tihelr employers Unit It
would be necessary -to call out the
strongest powers of uie government to
restore order. That all would agree on,
but the president of tlbe country would
never agree, In bis liumble Judgment,
tliat tlio man who called out t;Ue in
junctions, who ordered the imdlctmeint
of the striker, umd Avilio directed the
military, should be a director and a
k ' stockholder in the corponUtious affect
ed. This resolution -went further than
indorsing ttoe pmskklilit It approved
everything done by all ttoe members of
the ndmlnistiruitioiu. Mr. Ponce asked
if there was n Democrat on the floor
tvtoo appibvod Hhe notion of tlhe la-titor-
ney-geueral who, wtoien be found It noc-
ofiMiry to employ a special assist ant
district attorney In Chicago, selected
(he omtorpoy of the railroad corpora
tions for*that pooHQon. Ho. believed
not, but if thero were sucto, there were
members on ttoe floor wiho did mot be
lieve that the attorney of tlio trusts
should occupy ttoe position of attorncy-
general, as wus the case at present,
according to charges made by promi
nent Democrats, and wbo did not np-
prove of tols action in ttfifcilt position.
Mr. Bland said: “Mr. Speaker, it
to be regretted that a resolution of this
character should toe thrust in here un
der a fifteen .minutes rule for debate,
because It opens a wide field for discus
sion, not but Chat I believe any member
of this house, no matter to what politi
cal party he belongs, will indorse the
state governments and the federal gov
ernment In all legitimate efforts to pre
ssure our institutions, to put down riots
and preserve the majesty of the laws of
this country. 1 hajve no sympathy, Mr.
Speaker, with any man who raises his
arm in violence to destroy property, to
enforce what lie may consider his rights
of work and prevent others from work
ing. No principle of that kind can find
Indorsement on the part of anyone who
has a proper conception of the rights ot
people of this country to liberty. But,
sir, In these greatly ‘disturbed times,
such as we has Just passed, it often
occurs that acts are done under an as-
•umptlon of authority that we may be
called to indorse by a sweeping resolu
tion of this character. 1 am a Demo

4o protect Its malls. I am aware, Mr.

Stone (Republican) of Pennsylvania

IN THE SENATE. ,
Washington, July 16.—After the trars-
action of some routine morning busi
ness the legislative, executive and Ju
dicial appropriations bill was passed,
after the longest and stormiest passage
Which any of the appropriation bills
have yet encountered In the sentte, and
then the District of Columbia appropri
ation bill was takon up. It took a very
short time to pass this bill without ma
terial change. The conference report on
the Military Academy appropriation bill
was presented by Mr. Brice and agreed
to. The house anti-option .biff was. cm
motion t>f Mr. 'Washburn (Republican)
of Minnesota, taken from the table and
referred to the committee on agricul
ture. The appropriation bill for the de
partment of agriculture was then tak
en up.
A senate amendment reducing the ap
propriation for clerical eervlcc3 ln the
department of agriculture from 3M.520
to 820,000 provoked a discussion. In the
course of which Mr. Dolph proposed the
novel Idea of giving out the clerical
work of all tho departments to contrac
tors, Just as naval construction Is given
out. Mr. Harris favored the abolition
of the civil aervlce commission. Finally
the amendment was agreed to and the
bill was reported to the senate, but not
passed. After a short executive session
the senate, at 6:05. adjourned until to
morrow.

union went on a strike this morning,
to prevent the sale of the Olovelaud
Leader, l’lttsburg Dlsparcb nnd all
other papers commonly sold here for

Is 3 and 2 cents. The boys make but
1 cent on these papers and they want

IX TOLEDO.
Toledo, O., July 10. -The newsboys

clal from 3 to 1 cent.
Chicago, July 16.—Mayor Hopkins
said today -that tho statement that
some of the itroops doing strike fluty
In the city were sent home by him
today was without foundation.
-None would be ordered home today,
he said, although possibly' some em
ployed by the outelde companies would
be sent homo tomorrow.
There was no general strike at tho
stuck yards -today. AH the packing
houses ere running, altlfough wfcth

PRESIDENT DEBS TALKS.
Chicago, July 10.—tPresident Debs of
tho American Railway Union still
claims to he certain of coming out
ahead In his flgh't wfth the railroads.
Directors Goodwin and Hogan of 'the
American Railway Union left this
morning to begin the work ot organis
ing the men ln the Northwest a»J the
country of tttoe 'Mississippi. There
ore now eight of these organizers out.
“Our policy,” said Debs, “Is to keep
the organizers with the men so the
strikers will not weaken. We have
everything solid west of the Mlsslswpl-
That Is our strong point. I claim that
as long as -we have' traffic stopped -a|f.
any one point we have not yOt lost tho
fight. It Is as If you stop the (low ot
blood in au ^rtery—you stop the circu-
ta'don In the whole system."
"But everything seems do be run
ning smoothly oh the different roads,
does U not?" Debs was asked.
“Oh. well," admitted the labor man,
"the passenger -business ln and out is
being hnansacted fairly well, but there
are no freights moving at all, and they
0:11 admit that we have the best of
them. That's where we expect to crip-
pie the enemy.” , , .. .
-A’t the depots Deb's statement titat
freight 'traffic Is paralyzed Is not by
p.ny meana borne out. Most of the
roads are moving freight without the
slightest ' trouble. When Shown _a
press dispatch malting that Mr. Heatn-
cote, leader Of the Pullman strikers,
hlad asked ihtrn to pall toff the strike,
Debs dented It flatly.
"The Pullman strikers are Just as
Arm as ever,” he saltd. -They have no
intention of going back to work. If
Mrt Pullman la saltlsffed, they are. Me
(Heia'thcote) has not made me any
proposition, of that kind- Oto the con
trary, toe title v\s3urea me of tols con
tinued co-cpera>tl6n.”
Dtfba received «. report from La-
aalle, Illsthis morning declarlngtnat
the 'Rock Island roa-d Is again txully
congested at that point. Debs haserted
that within fofity-eIgWt hours he would
have the Rock IaUmd in aa toad ahape

How tlio Horses Kan at Brighton nnd

Brighton Beach, July 16.—The attractive
card put up by the Brighton Beach Racing
Association today brought out a targe
crowd. Most of the fields were large,
and the betting was spirited. The talent
had partly recovered from Saturday's sur
prises and set sail to get even. Robusta
was considered a good thing In the first
erent, but the talent put tUelr faith In
Panway, a 3 to 1 shot, and won. Thougn
Ixird Harry, the favorite, outclassed hie
field In the second race, there was not
a pronounced rush for him, and he was a
lukewarm first oboice. St. Felix was made
the medium ot some heavy wagering, und
the race was prettily handed over to him,
tho favorite having been left at tne post.
Tho eurpriae of the day was tlio winning
of the third event by St. Vincent,
to 1 shot, who snatched an Interesting
race from St. Pauline by a nose. Stone,
nell badly defeated Dr. HasbroucK, un
odds-on favorite, for the largest purse
of the day. leaving him four lengtim In
the rear. Notwithstanding the fact that
Tom Skidmore was tho only ravorlte that
won today, the talent backed somo ot
the long shot winners and quit ths day
about even with tho penclllera.
