VfisniNoton, June 10.—A rtligioua asso-
ciation visited the President yesterday. Oue
of the members of it is reported to have
shaken Cleveland's hand rather gingerly,

gentleman was lion. Tom Grady, who did
not want Cleveland nominated atany price.
Congressman Ciemints lies returned, lie
looks tike a man who hud mended his
fences satisfactorily.
The partial Democratic victory in Oregon
is attributed loan Independent Republican
revolt against the personal tin worth iue.-s of
candidates, there being no other issue, since
the platforms were almost identical. It is
a rebuke to the ring that elected Mitch
ell to the Senate. It is a subject
of remark atuoug Democrats hire
that these Republican rebellions generally
come after theiing Senator has been slipped
in for six years. The New York Times of
to-dsy editorially enforcea a truth thalsuits

Cockrell submitted on amendment, the
effect of which would be to forfeit all lends

Hawley offered a motion to reconsider
the bill passed earlier in the day prohibit
ing members of Congress from acting as
attorney or employes of railroad companies
that had receivi d land grunts or pecuniary
aid from the United States. Hawley said
that, with a number of other Senators, be
had voted for the passage of the bill, bat
since voting for it had given the bill some

ON THE IRON HORSE.
Aspirations of a Grren Tlrrnian—Jumping
from a Moving Train.
From the Cleveland Leader,
As a class locomotive engineers are not
to be envied. Their position is one of great
danger and responsibility, and ia obtained
only by years of hard and exhaustive train
ing. The hours are long and irregular and
the duties so exacting that a trilling error
mny undo the work of a lifetime. The trade
or profession of an engineer differs in no
respect from the other trades and profes
sions, in that the first lessons, or prepar
atory steps, mast be just ss thoroughly
mustered. Of course the first step is to
learn to keep np steam and to become fa
miliarized with the UHea of the different
parts of tho locomotive. Many a green fire
man despairingly rolls his eyes toward tho
steam gauge aud wonders if tho time will
ever come when it will be an easy task to
ke* p that slender needle above the century
point.
It comes to him. however, with practice,
but not as quickly, perhaps, as does the
knack of jpmping from a moving train
without detriment to clothes or body.
Most men staud on the stirrup with the
foot farthest from the train held straight
out. This is neither the safe nor the easy
way. If you wish to jump from, say the
right hand side, let your tight foot remain
on the stirrup, and swinging well back put
your left footjunderneath.^When you strike
the ground your teet are in such position ns
to be ready for the next step, or if you do
fall it will invariably be away from the
train, nnd not under the wheels.
Engineers who have never bad an acci
dent, and have always been noted for their
careful running, have been known to in
continently throw over reds for greens and
mnke a bad failure in general, showing be
yond a doubt their total inability to dis
tinguish colors. Yet these samo men
would never run past a red light or fail
to stop when the proper Bignal color was
shown. The explanation generally given

Washington, Juno 10. —In the House,
Caine, of Ut»h, withdrew bin objection to
the it porting of E<imnnds's Hiiti-poh g-miy
bill from the committee on the Judiciary,
and tbe uicasuro was placed on the House
calendar.
TheHousn went into committee of the
hole on the legislative appropriation bill.
The pending question was on the point of
order made by Morrison, of Illinois, against
the words “in full compensati m" where
they occur in the general appropriating
clause of the bill.
Holman argued Against the point, nnd
called attention to the fact that for the past
t*n years these words hud been incorporated
in every legislative bill. The question pre
sented wjw whether the House would,under
its rules, impose a limitation on the ex
penditure of public money. If it could not
it had almost abtudoned its power to con
trol the expenditure of public money.
Morriton said that the gentleman's argu
ment wuk based on an old rule of tho
Honse. A different rule bad l ten made,
and a rule to which the gentleman from In
diana was under obligation to pay some re
spect. The House had declared in that
rule that when in any branch of the pnblio
service the compensation of ofllcers is fixed
by law, the law could not be changed
on en appropriation bill. The rule
said to the gentlemen that it was i , . , . - .. . ,v. , * «

IVisniNOTON, Juno 10.—In the Senate, n
resolution wen offered by Hoar nnd referred
to tho committee on rales, expressing it to
bo the opinion of the Senate that it was
not ont of order to refer in Senate debates
to committee reports of tbe Honse of Repre
sentatives made during the present session.
After routine morning business, Beck
called up his bill to prohibit members of
Congress from accepting retaineis or em
ployment from railroad ccffinauies which
bavo received land grants or peenniaiy aid
from Congress. Beck stated that be bad no
remarks to make upon it, and asked (or its
immediate consideration.
Edmunds moved its reference to the com
mittee on the judiciary.
Beck aaid it would be aa well to vote the
bill down at once as to refer it to that com
mittee.
Edmunds remarked that ho wonld move
ita reference to the committee on finance,
if that wonld suit Beck better.
Tbi. did not snit Beck any better.
Then Edmonds repeated his motion to
refer it to the committee on the judiciary.
On this the yeas and nays were called,
and the motion was rejected by a vote of
21 to 24.
The bill then came to a vote and was
passed vilhont reference to any committee.

under the tutorage cf Mrs. Lipscomb, and
her extensive knowledge of the art and how
it onght to be taught needs no comment at
my hands. There was a medal to be awarded
to the best in the higher class and one to tho
lower.

The agricultural appropriation bill wai
then takon up.
Miller, in the course of some remarks on
tho bill, referred to the ravages of rice
birds, which, he said, caused a loss equal to
sr-viu dollars per ten of all the rice crop of
the United States. The ravages of tbo
English sparrow, he addi il, were very mncli
worse than those of rice birds and amount
ed to many millions of dcllura annually.
Sparrows were rapidly on the increase. It

CANNIBALS ON TIIK CONGO.
The Story of a White Alan who Lived Fif
teen Mouths Among Them.
Abont a year ago a report was telegraphed
over tbe world that tbo whites in some of
the Upper Congo stations had been killed
and eaten by cannibals. The report was
not believed, because a few while men had
traveled up and down the river for a year
or two without discovering evidences
of cannibalism except in one tribe.
Stanley’s recently published book threw
no light on tho subject of Congo canni
bals, though it did recall the appalling ru
mor ctil a*, among someof the tribes that tho
whites were very fond of eating black peo-
• tie. The report that tho whites on tne
Upper Jliver had become food for the na
rives proved fulse, us was expected, and re
cently a good deal of information has been
brought* back abont the cannibal tribe whose
numerous villages lino the river for a long
distance abont 800 miles from its mouth.
The Congo State is on good terms with
this tribe, the Baugallas, and has a station
in the midst of them. It was the Bangal-
las who sallied out in their big war canoes
aud t ave Stanley the fiercest reception he
encountered when ho first forced his way
down the river. As is usual with cannibul
tribes, they are superior in courage, pby
sique, and mental ability to the surround
ing peoples, and they lord it over a consid
erable urea. Mr. Wtstmark, who lies lived
among them for fifteen months, has just
lectured in France on their peculiarities,
end chiefiy on the practice of anthropoph
agy as it exists among them.
According to him they engage in the
practice upon the death of well-to-do or in
fluential men, when slaves are killed at tbe
graves of the deceased persons, so that they
may accompany their master and minister
to their wants in the ether world. It has
been the enstom to sacrifice at least twenty
victims at tbe death of every important per
son. Bound hand and foot tbe poor
wretehea are behoaded, and half ot them
are buriod in the grave cf their master. The
bodies of tho other ten nre reserved for tho
big fete that concludes tbe funeral ceremo
nies. Native beer in greet quantities is
prepared days in advanee of the feast. Tbe
fiesn of tbo murdered slaves is placed in
great earthen pots fnll of water, and boiled
until half tbe water has evaporated, and
then the banquet is ready to begin.
The orgie continnes fot a day or two nn
til all tbe refreshments are exhausted and
a large part of tbe male population ia dead
drunk. Tbe Congo missionaries appear to
think tlint tbe Bangallaa are sadly lu need
i t nforinatory influences, and tbey intend
to establish a station among them. Mr.
Westmark malys the interesting statement
that although cannibalism lias been prac
tised to a (urge extent among the llangullas,
it has now onm-iilerutily dimini-hed on an
count of the influence of the ubites, and
be believes that after Korop, ans have lived
in the country a htUe longer it will ditap-
pear.
Among the many millions of savages in
Africa there are very few cannibals.
Schweinfurtb fonnd that the large Mon-
butu tribe < n tbr Welle Uakna were addict
ed to the practice. It also exists among
the Mncelis of Angola, among the Bengal
is* of the Upper Congo, among some of the
natives on the Arav in i tributary of the
Congo, end was formerly practised to a
small extent In s«mo parts ot South Africa
As a rale, the natives who indnlge in tho
horrid custom try to conceal it from the
vahitea who vi it them, and nowhere does It
long survive tlo growth of white ictluino.-s
in districts when- it lias flourished.
