The Morning Call. VOLUME LXXII-NO. 89. SAN FRANCISCO, SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 9, 1892-EIGHT PAGES. PRICE FIVE CENTS. GLADSTONE NOT GAINING. The Liberal Leaders Disappointed at the Elections. TORIES APPARENTLY IS THE MAJORITY. E Factions Hold the Balance of Power. The Poor Frospects for Home Eule. Bpect»l to Tnu Morning Call. London, July B—Out or 24 county con- stituencies contested yesterday the Liberals lost 2 and won 2. These results dispose of the Ist possibility that Gladstone will ob- tain a reliable working majority. As the elections held yesterday are fairly repre- sentative, no great Liberal triumph can lie expected from the county vote when com- pleted, and the la«t hope fades that the Gladstoue Government will be buttressed by a strong coherent party. On the con- trary, the Liberal majority mast now de- pend on the Irish party. Even with the support of both the Irish factions it is improbable that Gladstone will have more than a Majority of 50. Among the certainties of the future nothing is so certain as a long period of political turmoil. Gladstone, with a fmall majority comp- osed ol motley groups of Liberals, Radi- cals, Laborltea, llcCarthyitei and Parnell- ite«, will be unable to effect any serious legislation. This self-evident fact has given ri.-e to a rumor that he willdecline to form 6 Ministry and \u25a0rill recommend Earl Sen- eer for the purpose. The Liberals rightly ridicule the rumor. They know that their chief, even with a majjrity of 20, is ready to take office nnd produce his home iuJe bill. They i.re also beginning to admit that the chances of home rule passing the House are becoming remote. If it does pass no strain will be put upon the Lords in reject- ing it. The peril to the Lords lay in veto- Ing home rule as backed by the decided will of the country. They can reject it now with a light heart. Difficulties of the Liberal*. Among the other difficulties awaiting the Liberal Government is the formation of the Labor i arty, which is not caring a rap for home rule, and is ready to coalesce with any party. Already Burns and Hardie, the strongest representatives of the laborers, declare their intention to form a party in Parliament and make terms for their sup- port. In addition, the new London mem- bers are determined to form a municipal socialist group, bent solely on procuring so- cial reform. Thus the opponents of Glad- stone hope that his home-rule scheme will be a failure. With regard to the new Cabinet a leading Treasury ifticiai told a representative of the Associated Press to-day that he had ob- tained the information that Henry Fowler tvill be Chancellor of the Exchequer and oir William Harcourt First Lord of the Treas- ury and leader of the House. This arrange- ment contains the startling implication that Gladstone will either retire to the Lords or take the lightest part in the Government, the Vice-Presidency of th« Council. The Gladstonian followers ridicule the notion of bis accepting a peerage, and believe be will remain in the Commons aud light the home rule through. RfgardiDg home rule, the Associated Press has the authority to suite that Glad- stone referred, when speaking of the nd- justment of the pecuniary burden* <>I Ire- land, to the pioposais relating to an ar- rangement between the Imperial and Irish exchequers and the proportion of the national debt assigned to Ireland. In fie 1886 bill this was calculated at one-fitleeatb, b;i>e<l upon the estimates vi taxation of ratable values, etc This was found to be over the estimate, and a financial inquiry has long engaged Gladstone's attention, Bcd in it he was assisted by Gcschen. This Inquiry tends to show that the apportion- rent should be one twenty-second part of Ue debt. The strain of the Midlothian campaign is not affecting the vigor of Gladstone, who is devoting his leisure time to research for the coining Oxford lecture on medieval universities. After the elections Gladstone willgo to Paris for a few days' search for material concerning the Freuch portion of the subject. IfMorley becomes Minister bis opponents at Newcastle mean to nom- inate Joseph Cowan against him. Cowan ls*immenfce!y popular and might oust Horley. . The Indian Government does not desire the appointment of Sir David Barbour as delegate to the international silver con- ference. ELEdK.V KKTIIINS. Gladstone's Gain* Not as I.nrje at Gener- ally Anticipated. London, July 9.— At 1 a. m. Saturday morning the total results of the returns so far is as follows: Conservatives 166, Lib- erals 132, Liberal Unionists 24, MeCarthy- ites 15, Parnellites 4, Independent Labor 3. Of the 344 known results, being over one- half of the whole, th« Unionists united have 190. against the united opposition 154. The Liberals, therefore, would require to cap- ture a number of Conservative county dis- tricts in order to obtain a working majority. This evening the sanguine Giadatonians hardly reckon on it. To-day's returns show the re-election of the Right Honorable E. Stanhope, .secretary of War, and the Right Honorable Henry Chaplin, President of the B ard of Agri- culture. Irish returns show Timothy Har- rington, a Parnellitp, re-elected, and the defeat of Timothy Sullivan. J.W. Lowther, Parliamentary Secretary of the Foreign (Mice, was also re-elected by a reduced ma- jority. The defeat of Sir Thomas Henry Grattan Esmond e, an anti-Parnellite, by Hon. 11. Plunkett In Ireland is received with much elation by the Conservatives, as whs also the defeat of Justin McCarthy, the leader of the anti-Parnellites, by Ross, a Conservative, in Derry. The district has always been very close. Dublin, July B.— An attack was made on the house of John Dillon this morning, and the windows were smashed by stones hurled by a mob. A CITY IN FLAMES. St. Johcs, Newfoundland, in Danger of Being Wiped Out. Halifax, Nova Scotia, July B.—Dis- patches received here from St. Johns, New- foundland, say a fi:e broke out at about 4 o'clock this afternoon in a house on hong street. A strong gale from the southwest was prevailing at the time and tt c rUmes spread very rapidly across the town, aweeuiug everything before them. It is thought the city will b- wived out. The fire reached the wlmrves and the ship- ping has all been hauled oui to a safe au- tnomgp Fight With 6mueg!er§. VL'ebkc, July ».— ihe Dominion Govern- ment revenue cutter Constance attempted last night to seize a schooner with $10,000 worth of smuggled whisky on b.ard near Gospe h hen the crew showed fljrht. The captain telegraphed to Ottawa for assistance and a detachment of B Battery left for the scene of tiie conflict. A ROYAL RESCRIPT. Emperor William's Decree to His Emis- saries in Foreign Lands. Berlin, July B.— The Reicbsanzeiger, the Government organ, publishes an Imperial rescript, issued May 23 to all German and Prussian diplomates abroad. Discussing the views ;and opinions of Prince Bis- marck, then lately published ia the various newspapers, the rescript say»: "The Em- peror is convinced either that a more placid temper willsupervene or that the practical value of the statements of the press will, in course of time, be more and more correctly appreciated abroad. 1 tie Emperor distin- guishes between the Prince Bismarck of the past and the uresent, and wishes everything voided that Is likely to tarnish the image of the greatest statesman of the nation." A second Government dispatch, addressed to Prince Reuss, German "Embassador to Austria, dated June 9, instructs him "to confine himself during Bismarck's visit to Vienna to crlfcveiitional forms and avoid an Invitation to Count Herbert Bismarck's %eddiug. Kef erring to the relation* between the Emperor »nd Bismarck, the dispatch says itis absolutely indispens- able as a primary condition to a rapproche- ment that the advance should be made by Bismarck." The dispatch also says: \u2666'Even if Bismarck hag complied with the condi- tions of a rapprochement, never co so far as to justify tha belief that Bismarck has again any influence whatever in the con- duct of public business. These instructions apply to the personnel of the Embassy also, and the Emperor willtake no notice of the marriage. Your Highness is instructed to brine this communication to the knowledge of Count Kalnoky in whatever manner you may find advisable." The dispatch is signed by Chancellor yon Caprivi. It is significant and Is held to prove that attempts have been made to effect a reconciliation with Bismarck. The Frelsinnige Z ltuuu lays the publica- tion of the rescript i% a forcible answer to the feeble and pointings attacks and that the second dispatch is tantamount to the refusal of Bismarck's counsel as long as he lives. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR. The Second Day of the Great Convention in lev York. New York, July B.—The second day's proceedings of the great convention of Christian Endeavor societies opened with early prayer at 6:30 o'clock a m., and was attended by 2000 delegates. Tiie regular session opened at 9 o'clock A.M., with 12,000 present. After prayer «nd praise service conducted by Rev. Mr. Tyler of trie Disci- ples of Christ, or the Cumi'bellites, of New- York, came the feature of the programme. "The Pastors' Hour," consisting of two- minute addresses on the relations of Chris- tian Endeavor societies to the different de- nominations. Then the roll of the State and Territorial provincial unions was) called nnd representative societies all over the world responded, telling of the society's progress. Rev. Joseph Cook of Boston de- Uveied an a^dre^s r>n "Watchwords for the Twentieth Century." Half-minute "testimonials" opened the afternoon session. A delegate from Cali- fornia was the first to speak. Lie Mid: "We have the most flourishing jonloi I tian Endeavor Society in the country." This wns nu index of "testimonials" that followed during th* hour given this feature. Mrs. Francis Clark, wife ol the president of tne society, next read a paper on "Junior Christian Endeavor." Aildret.% by Whltetnw Keid. WV.telaw Reid, the Republican candidate for V ice-President, came on tne platform at this point. He was introduced to the con- vention amid the waving of handkerchiefs and cheers and addressed the assemblage. Reid said in part: "Such an organi- zation as you display, animated by such a purpose, is an incalculable force for good, not merely in thousands of individual communities which are here represented, but in the metropolis. Our forefathers, who laid tho foundation of the civiiand religious liberty we enjoy, were men who planted their fortifications on every hillside. You all know what those fortifications were — scliuo'.houseand the church. Let us guard them as cur fathers guarded then: and we shall preserve the fair heritage we received and transmit it in turn, grand and beucfi beyond their thought or ours to the latest ge"iieiation of men." Reports from the delegates In different States regarding the juniors were next read. A series of addresses on Christian Endeavor in foreign lands occupied the convention till 5 o'clock. The presentation of banners to States for progress in the Christian Eo- deavor for the pest year followed. Okla- homa received the banner for the greatest proportionate Increase; Ontario for the greatest absolute cain, and Illinois for the lareett number ol junior societies. Over 3000 delegates who were unable to secure admission to the convention hall at- tended an open-air meeting in front of the hall simultaneously with the session within. • WannnifiLcr'B Speech. The evening session began with a praise service, at the close of which Postmaster- General Wanamaker came upon the plat- form. lie received an ovation and was in- stalled as ure-.ident during the session. When he stepped forward and addressed the convention he was received with ap- plause. In the course of his remarks he said: M I rejoice to-night that the Christian Eiideavcr has brought something to this age— something that commands the good opinion of the whole world. Men are ask- ing what is this movement and when did it come? It is the outgrowth of a movement all over the world fur the benefit of the young who nave come under Christian In- fluences. It is the brightest star that ban risen in the Christian world in this century." Rev. Russell 11. Cornwall of Philadelphia followed with an address on the Christian Endeavor societies i lace in modern re- ligious life. Hon. Chnuncey If. Depe-.v was next pre- sented by Mr. Wanamaker, and when the applause had subsided .Mr. Deoew spoke of the power of good possessed by the Chris- tian Endeavor Society. The society then adjourned until to-morrow. now the Society Ha» Grown. The Christian Endeavor movement is one of the most remarkable in the history ol trie evangelical church's. It is a tin roughly mil-sectarian movement, and includes all of the evangelical denominations. It was started In Portland, Me., February i, eleven years ago— and now includes over 19.000 societies, and numbers over 1, ".00,000 members. The society has grown from a modest effort to hold together the y<>ung converts of a revival la Portland. Her. Francis E. Clark, pastor or Willstou Church in that city, conceived the idea as best calculated to inter- est theyoung people of hischurchin religious work, and also as affording a needed train- ing for the new beginners, who night other- wise stray away. It proved a success, and. attracting the attention of other ministers, they promptly followed his example. For a time the w.ik was conducted as a purely local movement with each- church, but in June, 1882, a conference was held, and it was agreed to organize a general society. There were then 481 members: in 1883 there were 2570; in 1884. 8935; In 1885. 10,964; in 1886, 50,000; in 1887, 140,000; in 188 S. 300,000; in 1889. £00,000; in 1890, over 680,000; in 1891, over 1.000,000, and In 1892 1,300,000. The object of the society, as set forth by its literature. is "to train young people for the duties of their own church and denomi- nation. It exists to make young people loyal and efficient members of the church of Christ. Like the Sunday-school, each church society is In the !o2al church, and in no sense outside of that church." It is in- tended practically to fill the place among young adult members of evangelical churches that the Sunday-schools fill among the children, it has grown in about the same proportion Inall of the great evangel- ical denominations, and has received the hearty support of all alike without engen- dering any jealousies. The motto of the society is "For God and the Church." In addition to the society proper there \» a Junior Society for the training of the chil- dren of th? local churches and Sunday- schools, from which they are when old old enough graduated into the parent so- ciety. The anniversary of the establishment of the first society. February 2. is celebrated as ; Christian Endeavor Day." This cele- bration takes the f . rin of uniting in univer- sal prayer for other Christian Endeavor societies throughout the world and In a contribution from the society treasury to the home or foreien missionary board of tl.o denomination to which the society De- longs. The society is not confined to the United Stales, but extends to many foreign countries. There are flourishing societies in places as remote as Foochow, Honolulu and other foreign lands. Many slender-faced women, matrons in- cluded, have tliis season dared to elect for the sailor hat who never wore it before. If your blood is Impure regulate jour liver with Simmons Liter Kegulttor. Rev. F. C. Clark, D.D. WILL PROBABLY SUBSIDE. The Trouble With the Iron-Workers at Homestead. COSFERESCE WITH GOYERXOR PATTISOS. The Bills to Be Turned Over to the Sheriff of the -Watching for the rintertons. Sped*! to The Mons'ivo Call. Homestead. Pa., July B.—The situation At Homestead is absolutely unchanged. There is nothing to-night indicating what the next step will be. Perhaps the troops will be ordered here, but no one can say. The Sheriff made another ineffectual effort to obtain admission for his Deputy Sheriffs to the works and to raise a posse in Urine- stead. A proposition has been made to the workmen asking if they will permit the Deputy Sheriffs to peacefully enter the works and assume chaise. The proposition was considered at a meeting to-day, but no conclusion wa3 reached, though there was a general expression In favor of accepting the proposition and of submission to the law and the recognition of the regular con- stituted authority. The men are Intensely suspicious and they rear the introduction of the deputies is but a cloak for more important action, viz. : that the Pinkertons willfollow the depu- ties and nou-union men the Pinkcrtons. Both of these latter they will resibt to the utmost. The cooler-headed men are advis- ing their associates 'to permit the deputies to come in peaceaDly, but if it be granted they insist that the deputies shall be neither numerous nor well aimed and t^hall not mako a move to protect the meu wiiom the finu may lutioducrt. Tho move is really but a continuation of the forcible pr«ventinc of a continua; cc »f the Bill work with a ground for ie^al Contention in the suit which is certain to follow if the county turns the works over to the fiimand is not liable for damages. Al Mil> MIIIULITy. The Workmen Peaceably Awaitloc the Aclon of the Mill-Owners. HoimniD, July B.—The unwillingness of the men to turn the works over to the Sheriff is increased by their openly ex- pressed distrust of Sheriff McCleary, but the specter of the appearance of loug lines of soldiers with no.purposes but to sternly obey the orders they may receive, is behind the Sheriff's failure and some realize this. No disorder occurred up to 11 o'clock to- night, and no false alarms gain currency. Three more funerals of the last of the victims among the workmen took place to- day. A fruitless meeting of the locked-out men and the Sheriff's coming, his confer- ence and departure are in brief the story of the day. Another 24 hours has passed and Home- stead continues in the possession of the locked- men. They are the autocrats of the town, and many beneath their slouched hats wear the dignity and know! of sovereignty. Order i* strictly maintained, and to the I redil of the locked-out men cau be said that they have not committed or permitted any act of violence or plunder, and beyond taking exceptional precautions against the Pinkert v men gaining an en- trance or obtaining valuable knowledge they have done nothing. The men are very nt cent and intelligent and are not the loud- mouthed ignorant class of agitators. Tin- factor is an important element in the situa- tion. Only a few workingmen are seen on the streets and no drunkenness is noticed. At regular intervals the scouts and pickets are relieved and guards* are maiutaiued con- stantly. ADVICE OF LLADEKS. Th« Workmen Ailviae'l to IVrmlt tlir SlterifT to Guard tho Hill*. Homestead, July B.—To-night Hugh O'Donnell and others returned from Har- risburg bearing with them a proposition from Sheriff McClcary asking that the works be turned over to the deputies whom he would appoint to take charm and boM the property for the firm. The clticers of the Amalgamated Association are strongly in favor of the men giving the deputies ad- mission into the works and so were the ad- visory committee. At a ma^-rueeliue at which President W>lhe presided, he urged that the firm must be given possession of the work?, if uot a resort must be taken to troop*, The attorney of the association next addressed the meeting, and advised tljc same ciursc. An adjournment was taken niter a committee was appointed to goto Pittsburg to confer with Sheriff McCleary, and learn his purposes if control \v;i« given him. and also to see the Adjutant-General of the State. It is understood that another meeting will be held, but it has not yet taken place, and probably will not till the committee are ready to report. The leaders and the conservative element favor giving way, but a great nombui of the younger and not-headed element oppose any yield- ing. A startling rumor is being whispered about on the \u25a0Otttbside to-night to the effect that as soon as an armed force appears on the ground at Homestead dynamiter?, who have been employed, will bo prep-trod to hurl bombs into the mil), and an effort will be made to destroy th- entire p'mit. The reliability of the runior is doubted. All labor organizations in Allegheny County are holding meetings and adopting resolutioNS of sympathy, offering moral and financial aid, and committees are being ap- pointed to act with the committees iroin Homestead in the matter of combined action. A LEADKit JNTIiKVIEWKD. He Says a Final Adjustment Most lie Mario >otv. Homestead, Pa., July B.—Hugh O'Don- nell, the leader of the workers, was seen to- day by the Associated Press correspondent. When asked what he had to say regarding the assertion of Mr. Flick thai only 325 of 3800 men were directly af- fected by the reduction in wattes, he replied: "I frankly admit the truth of the assertion, but the, situation as it now stands is this: If the men were to concede the point it would open the way for a general reduction in all the departments. It Is a matter of strict principle with the Amalgamated Association to stand firmly by Its Muni, who are one and all banded together for mutual support, and the cause- o! one member it* the cause of all. If the men went back to work and consented to the reduction of waves of 325 of their num- ber, eventually the wages of all the others would be reduced. ' The men will under no consideration yield to the expiration of the scale in De- cember, The output of that season Is much less, and they could ill afford to lie idle at that time of the year, as Mure would surely be suffering among the poorer classes. No, sir. the final adjustuieut must be made now. MUST GIVE IN. The Authorities Trep-.rcd to Guard the l ¥ ro|>«rty. Homestead, July B.—The mass-meeting to-day was followed by a visit from Sheriff McCleary, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Cluley and Legal Adviser Petty. They came for the purpose of raising a posse. Ex- Representative Fox, the Sheriff said, furnished him a list of about 1000 persons willingto be sworn in as deputies. The Sheriff came to swear them in. About 20 persons were summoned and seven responded. They refused, however, to aid or Assist the Sheriff. The Sheriff .would not say what his next move would be, but Mr. Petty said the firm insisted that they were not in possession of their prop- erty and he agreed with him. "They will have to be put in possession," said Petty; "that is the county's duty." A rumor, which stirred up the meeting considerably this afternoon, was to the effect that a mob of Piukertons was in town, but no foundation could be found for it. It is said some of the men have placed guard against the entrance of a hostile force by train over the railroad bridge into the works. The scheme contem- plates the destruction by blowing up of Dart of the works. When news was re- ceived that the hired guards were on the way dynamite was taken to- the yards in largo quantities, and it Is (aid to be for the pur. pose named. Reporters are nut pleasing to the workmen, and the proposition was made to force them to leave town. The locked-out men say they have received a large number of offers of assistance from various narts of the country, and expressed the confidence that they will succeed in the end. They are still willing to imve a con- ference, but say that Frick will not meet thorn. Late this evening the men made a practi- cal demonstration to eject the newspaper men. Bob Herbert of the Pittsburg Dis- patch was put on a train and sent out of town to-night, and another newspaper man named Hall was notified to leave. At 1 o'clock this morning everything is quiet and there are no indications of trouble in the near future. THE KESrOMSIISILITY. Claims That the riuk<-rt<>n« V.'era Sworn in as Deputy Sheriff*. PiTTsnuuo, July The statements as to whether or not the Piukertons were sworn in as deputies are very conflicting. Sheriff McCleary says they were not, but the Carnegie people insist they were. E. K. Spear, one of the wounded Piukertons. says they were sworn iv by Deputy Sheriff Gray. The latter admits he was with the parti', but asserts he did not administer the oath io them. This question will be an Impor- tant one iv settling the question of respon- sibility. Hakrisbuko, Pa., July B.— A prominent citizen of Pitt-hurg parsed through Harris- i burn this morning. He said there was no | question about the Pinkerton men baring been properly sent to the Homestead works under approval of the Sheriff. A letter | was sent by counsel for Carnegie A: Co. to the superintendent of the llome^a.l mill , placlnc the Pinkertons under control of Chief Deputy Gray. This letter, he said, was read to Sheriff McCleary, who ap- proved (it the arrangement*. They were regular deputies, and were so recognized. New Y<>i:k, July B.— The returning Pinkertons from Homestead arrived this morning. They declined to talk about the mailer. Robert Pinkerton also refused to .Ik nt present, but said he would make a Statement later, which would show where the fault lay. He would neither nClrm nor deny the report that he had already • seat a fresh lot of men to Homestead. ArrnoACiiixo a settlement. Conference nt the .Men anil thn Owner* Making Satisfactory I'rogros*. PiTTSiiUUG, July B.—The conference be- tween the Amalgamated Association and. the iron and steel manufacturers was con- tinued 10-day with little result. None of the interested parties now discussing the ir.-n scale would give any particulars regaiding trie unsettled points of the difference. The" secretary said, however, that the work was progressing and hopes could now be ir.«s duigt-d in of an early settlement. Three] signatures to th" scale were received to-day,* among t em beiuc Carnegie, Phipps&Co.''s] leaver Falls plant. In vie-v of the asier-i lion of tie Carnegie official* that th 9 Amalgamated Association would be no longer recognised their signature to the; B*av*»r Falls scale came in the nature of a surprise.

KIOHT COM VI UTS KSCAPE. They Crawl to Liberty Through a Three-Foot Sewer-Pipe. Boston, July 8. -Nine long-time convicts made their e*cnpe from State prison ibis afternoon through a Hewer and all but one are now at large. They are J. M. Brad- ley, Dennis O'Hearn, Daniel Coffey, John C Lynch. Michael O'Connor, John Hoth, Htepheu McCall, Felix Golding aud Daniel Mullen. The men had occasion to go into a lot used as a dumping-ground, In which was a manhole leading to the sewer. Having im- provised saws they cut the bars covering the bole and descended to the bottom. They crawled through the newer, which was '600 feet in length and hardly three leet in di- ameter. Every no*sible effort was made to inter- cept the fugitives, and Golden was captured after a dasperate resistance. Although the surrounding couutry is being srouied the others have n,t yet been captured. A TEXAN OBJECTED. Cause of the Defeat of the Hydraulic Mining Bill JOT 1 QUORUM PRESET TO VOTE. — The Bill ?•><•s Our Until Next Suspension Day. Tin Failure Laid to the Democrats. Special to The Morning Call. Washington, July 8.-The California hydraulic bill was beaten to-day because there was no quorum voting when the test fame. It will probably come up ugain, how- ever, and then it will stand n good show of going through. It was suspension day and a two-thirds majority of those present wns required to pass any bill. There is no doubt that more than two-thirds of those la their seats favored the bill, but a Texas Demo- crat objected and, backed up by a few others of his party, mado it impossible to put through the measure that meant so much for the California hydraulic ruino owners. The. House took no Intermission and the session had been prolonged by those who had pet bills to get through under the rule, so that after the gas had been lighted and the mining bill had been r^ad every man in the hall was hungry and worn out. Mr. Cowles of North Carolina had special charge of the bill, being chairman of the Committee on Mines ami Mining, but long before he had succeeded in attracting the Speaker's attention that little matter hr.d been previously arranged. The California delegation, without exception, had labored with every Congressman within reach to put down any opposition that might creep up. ana on every side assurances of friend- -Bhip were offered. Objected To by a Texan. When the bill had been read, however, nnd before any remarks upon it could be made, bailey of Texas arose and put in Ins accustomed objection, lie demanded a second, which meant that a majority of the whole House must vote in favor of the ques- tion in an indirect way before a direct vote upon the bill could be taken. Not enough votes could be mustered to accomplish this, and upon the suggestion of Dockery of Missouri the Speaker announced that the bill would go over to the next suspension day as unfinished business. The vote on ordering a secoud was 132 to 3. Numerous Democrats refrained from voting, but every K'-iiiiblican on til* Ho. went through the tellers in favor of the bill. The appropria- tion carried in the bill as it now stands is $10,000. Camlnettl Explains III* D«re*t. Catninetti said to-night: "Had we suc- ceeded in getting recognition sooner, we would have passed the bill, but many em- bers were so tired that they went home. It was Impossible to hold them. 1 knew that there would be an objection from Bailey, but 1 did not mind that, as with a quotum the objection would have been futile. Just before Mr. Cowles wu recognized the Speaker sent for me and said that in his i opinion I would be beaten on account of : the lack of a quorum and told me to use my own judgment in the case-. 1 consulted with several men on the floor and arrived at the conclusion that it was best to have the bill comn up, and the:', if beaten, an adjournment could lie taken before tue, vole was an- nounced, and we would hold first ulace on the list on next suspension day, which will probably be next Wednesday. I am sun ; we will pas* it then." Caminetti d«nies that all the Republicans present voted on tli» demand for the second. "'ln fact," he says, "only about a third of them did.su." Mr. Bowers on the contrary says unequivo- cally thai every Republican ( d the floor left his sent and passed through the tellers, having made it his busine-ci to set- that they did so. This statement was '.tinned by persons in tho galleries. nnd it puts on tne, Democrats the responsibility of temporarily', if not Permanently, defeating the bill. Irrigation la Washington. The census bulletin issued to-day says that in the Mate <<i Washington crops Were raised by irrigation in thf a nan* year ending May • l. 18i.>0. on 45.7ii9 acres, or 76.25 square miles, about .11 of 1 per cent of the entire land surface of the Mate, The enumerators' schedules indicate that a little over one-half of this crop area was devoted to the raising of various kinds of forage. The irrigated areas were confiued to 13 counties out of ti i ; .4 , comprises nearly one-half of the area of the M.tte. The aggregate BOm of farms in these 13 counties on .June!, ]mm, was 11,237, very nearly two-thirds of the whole Dumber in the State. Of these farms 104(1, or nearly one-tenth, contained irrigated are.a«. The total crop area irri- gated on the 104G farms was only 17 per cent of the total area of lands owned by irrigate**. Tli »i InTOitlgatlon of Trust*. The. Majority of the trust sub-committee of the House Committee on Manufactures has made a report to the full committee. The report says: "The sub-committee finds that trusts combinations nnd associations control the production, distribution and prices of many of the most important arti- cles of general consumption in the United Mates. The consequences are wholly bad and absolutely without a redeeming feature. Prices to the consumer have increased, while the wages of persons employed by the trusts have decreased." Condemning nil the past and existing legislation in regard to trusts as Insufficient and impracticable, the sub-committee recommends and requests the lull committee to petition the Bouse "to take such prompt action as will result In placing on the free list without delay and permitting their Importations without tariff tax all articles manufactured, the price, sale or distribution of which 1$ or n^y come under tbe control of any trust or combina- tion whatever." Representative Keyburn of Pennsylvania, a member of the sub-cor- n tee, dissents Irom the report. Deadlock on Tree Silver. The Senate silver bill was taken up by the House Coinage Committee to-day, but before action the hour for the meeting of the H'Hise arrived and the committee ad- journed until 6:30 o'clock in the evening.

When a vote was taken on the motion to lay the bill on the table the anti free-silver men declined to vote, thwarting any attempt to reach a final vole, at th» meeting. C. W. Stone of Penn- sylvania moved that the bill be reported to the House with the recommendation that it be laid on the table. A vote was taken on the motion and resulted in oto G, the anti- free-silver men declining to vote. The House was still in session nt 6 10 o'clock, the time set for the adjourned meeting, and the meeting was vacated, another call being made for 9 o'clock to-morrow morning. Army Change*.

She Called at Santa Barbara Without -notifying the Authorities. EVIDENTLY A CASE OF SMUGGLING. Both Winchester and ilie Captain Assert Their Inoftnce, but the Coat's Vagaries at Victoria ire Suspicious. Special to Ins Mornisq Cam. Sax Diego. July S.— traces of opium have yet been discovered on board the Eliza Edwards, the steam schooner under seizure here for the alleged smuggling of 51 China- men and 2000 pounds of opium to the United States from Vancouver, B. C. The publi- cation of an attempt made yesterday by Captain V»n Bremer and Dr. Winchester to bribe a reporter and editor of the Union to suppress the facts already elicited caused a panic this morning. Winchester left on the first train for Santa Barbara, where the customs officers believe the opium was landed. It was in- tended to make a thorough search of the premises of both Winchester and Van ! Brewer for documentary evidence of their guilt, but it is believed that Winchester left with the intention of destroying all traces of a criminating nature. Van Brtmei admits having touched at Santa Barbara, but says he did this to take on fresh meat and a patent log. Not hav- ing reported to the customs authorities there the vessel becomes subject to a fine of $1400, upon the payment of which her dis- charge will br. ordered if no additional evi- dence of smuggling is secured. Winchester is said to have been involved in a similar transaction seven years ago. Van Brenier now denies having offered money to secure the suppression of the facts, but the evidence is conclusive of the attempted bribery of newspaper men by both the captain and Winchester. The cook of the schooner is under arrest and may turn State's evidence. The steamer Coos Bay arrived to-day from San Francisco in pursuit of the Eliza Edward?, but finding the latter in charge of the customs officers here and Revenue Col- lector Pbelps, it cleared this evening for the north. Collector Osboroe of Los Angeles accompanied the latter to San Pedro. Cap- tain Van Bieiner is still staying at the lior- ton House. V , WINCnESTJEK'S STATEMENT. lie Saya O.ptnin Van liremer lias Been His I'ntient for Years. Santa Baubaiia, July B.—Dr. R. F. Winchester, Busrecttd of being interested with Van Brewer in smuggling operations with the Eiiza Edwards now detained at San Diego, arrived at home this evening, lie has made a long statement to the Morn- ing Tress, which will appear to-morrow, slating that Van Bremer was a patient of his for several years, and the object par- tially of the Eliza Edwards coming down the coast was to taki) Van Bremer on a sea trip fir his health. Another object was to sell the boat as there is no demand for seal- er.*, lor which business she was built, at present, owing to the Bering Sea troubles. Winchester was in Los Angeles on his way East when he heard of the trouble, and went to San Diego to help his friend. His reason for registering under, an as- sumed name was that he was constantly besieged by reporters and customs officers and wished to be rid of them. lit- denies all knowledge* of the story that the Eliza (wards was going in search of lost treas- ure in Cocos Island. The story that ho otfered money to the San Diego union to suppress news is em- phatically denied. SUSrICIOITS MOVEMENTS. Tlie Eliza 1-Mnardn Left Victoria Bound l>lr«-ct to Valilivii.

GLADSTONE NOT GAINING.

The Liberal Leaders Disappointed atthe Elections.

TORIES APPARENTLY IS THE MAJORITY.

E Factions Hold the Balance of Power.The Poor Frospects for Home

Eule.

Bpect»l to Tnu Morning Call.

London, July B—Out or 24 county con-stituencies contested yesterday the Liberalslost 2and won 2. These results dispose ofthe Ist possibility that Gladstone willob-tain a reliable working majority. As theelections held yesterday are fairly repre-sentative, no great Liberal triumph can lieexpected from the county vote when com-pleted, and the la«t hope fades that theGladstoue Government will be buttressedby a strong coherent party. On the con-trary, the Liberal majority mast now de-pend on the Irish party. Even with thesupport of both the Irish factions it isimprobable that Gladstone will have morethan a Majority of 50.

Among the certainties of the futurenothing is so certain as a long period ofpolitical turmoil.

Gladstone, with a fmall majority comp-osed ol motley groups of Liberals, Radi-cals, Laborltea, llcCarthyitei and Parnell-ite«, will be unable to effect any seriouslegislation. This self-evident fact has givenri.-e to a rumor that he willdecline to form6Ministry and \u25a0rill recommend Earl Sen-eer for the purpose. The Liberals rightlyridicule the rumor. They know that theirchief, even witha majjrity of 20, is ready totake office nnd produce his home iuJe bill.They i.re also beginning to admit that thechances of home rule passing the Houseare becoming remote. If it does pass nostrain willbe put upon the Lords in reject-ing it. The peril to the Lords lay in veto-Ing home rule as backed by the decided willof the country. They can reject itnow witha light heart.

Difficulties of the Liberal*.Among the other difficulties awaiting the

Liberal Government is the formation of theLabor iarty, which is not caring a rap forhome rule, and is ready to coalesce withany party. Already Burns and Hardie, thestrongest representatives of the laborers,declare their intention to form a party inParliament and make terms for their sup-port. In addition, the new London mem-bers are determined to form a municipalsocialist group, bent solely on procuring so-cial reform. Thus the opponents of Glad-stone hope that his home-rule scheme willbe a failure.

With regard to the new Cabinet a leadingTreasury ifticiai tolda representative of theAssociated Press to-day that he had ob-tained the information that Henry Fowlertvill be Chancellor of the Exchequer and oirWilliamHarcourt First Lord of the Treas-ury and leader of the House. This arrange-ment contains the startling implication thatGladstone willeither retire to the Lords ortake the lightest part in the Government,the Vice-Presidency of th« Council. TheGladstonian followers ridicule the notion ofbis accepting a peerage, and believe be willremain in the Commons aud light the homerule through.

RfgardiDg home rule, the AssociatedPress has the authority to suite that Glad-stone referred, when speaking of the nd-justment of the pecuniary burden* <>I Ire-land, to the pioposais relating to an ar-rangement between the Imperial and Irishexchequers and the proportion of thenational debt assigned to Ireland. In fie1886 bill this was calculated at one-fitleeatb,b;i>e<l upon the estimates vi taxation ofratable values, etc This was found to beover the estimate, and a financial inquiryhas long engaged Gladstone's attention,Bcd in it he was assisted by Gcschen. ThisInquiry tends to show that the apportion-rent should be one twenty-second part ofUe debt.

The strain of the Midlothian campaign isnot affecting the vigor of Gladstone, whois devoting his leisure time to research forthe coining Oxford lecture on medievaluniversities. After the elections Gladstonewillgo to Paris for a few days' search formaterial concerning the Freuch portion ofthe subject. IfMorley becomes Ministerbis opponents at Newcastle mean to nom-inate Joseph Cowan against him. Cowanls*immenfce!y popular and might oustHorley. .

London, July 9.— At 1 a. m. Saturdaymorning the total results of the returns sofar is as follows: Conservatives 166, Lib-erals 132, Liberal Unionists 24, MeCarthy-ites 15, Parnellites 4, Independent Labor 3.Of the 344 known results, being over one-half of the whole, th« Unionists united have190. against the united opposition 154. TheLiberals, therefore, would require to cap-ture a number of Conservative county dis-tricts in order toobtain a working majority.This evening the sanguine Giadatonianshardly reckon on it.

To-day's returns show the re-election ofthe Right Honorable E. Stanhope, .secretaryof War, and the Right Honorable HenryChaplin, President of the B ard of Agri-culture. Irish returns show Timothy Har-rington, a Parnellitp, re-elected, and thedefeat of Timothy Sullivan. J.W. Lowther,Parliamentary Secretary of the Foreign(Mice, was also re-elected by a reduced ma-jority. The defeat of Sir Thomas HenryGrattan Esmond e, an anti-Parnellite, byHon. 11. Plunkett InIreland is received withmuch elation by the Conservatives, as whsalso the defeat of Justin McCarthy, theleader of the anti-Parnellites, by Ross, aConservative, in Derry.

A ROYAL RESCRIPT.Emperor William's Decree to His Emis-

saries in Foreign Lands.

Berlin, July B.—The Reicbsanzeiger, theGovernment organ, publishes an Imperialrescript, issued May 23 to all German andPrussian diplomates abroad. Discussingthe views ;and opinions of Prince Bis-marck, then lately published ia the variousnewspapers, the rescript say»: "The Em-peror is convinced either that a more placidtemper willsupervene or that the practicalvalue of the statements of the press will,incourse of time, be more and more correctlyappreciated abroad. 1 tie Emperor distin-guishes between the Prince Bismarck of thepast and the uresent, and wishes everything

voided that Is likely to tarnish the imageofthe greatest statesman of the nation."

A second Government dispatch, addressedto Prince Reuss, German "Embassador toAustria, dated June 9, instructs him "toconfine himself during Bismarck's visit toVienna to crlfcveiitional forms and avoid anInvitation to Count Herbert Bismarck's%eddiug. Keferring to the relation*

between the Emperor »nd Bismarck,the dispatch says itis absolutely indispens-able as a primary condition to a rapproche-ment that the advance should be made byBismarck." The dispatch also says: \u2666'EvenifBismarck hag complied with the condi-tions of a rapprochement, never co so faras to justify tha belief that Bismarck hasagain any influence whatever in the con-duct of public business. These instructionsapply to the personnel of the Embassy also,and the Emperor willtake no notice of themarriage. Your Highness is instructed tobrine this communication to the knowledgeof Count Kalnoky in whatever manner youmay find advisable."

The dispatch is signed by Chancellor yonCaprivi. Itis significant and Is held toprove that attempts have been made toeffect a reconciliation with Bismarck.

The Frelsinnige Z ltuuu lays the publica-tion of the rescript i% a forcible answer tothe feeble and pointings attacks and thatthe second dispatch is tantamount to therefusal of Bismarck's counsel as long as helives.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.

The Second Day of the Great Convention inlev York.

New York, July B.—The second day'sproceedings of the great convention ofChristian Endeavor societies opened withearly prayer at 6:30 o'clock a m., and wasattended by 2000 delegates. Tiie regular

session opened at 9 o'clock A.M., with 12,000present. After prayer «nd praise serviceconducted by Rev. Mr. Tyler of trie Disci-ples of Christ, or the Cumi'bellites, of New-York,came the feature of the programme."The Pastors' Hour," consisting of two-minute addresses on the relations of Chris-tian Endeavor societies to the different de-nominations. Then the roll of the Stateand Territorial provincial unions was)called

nnd representative societies all over theworld responded, telling of the society'sprogress. Rev. Joseph Cook of Boston de-Uveied an a^dre^s r>n "Watchwords for theTwentieth Century."

Half-minute "testimonials" opened theafternoon session. A delegate from Cali-fornia was the first to speak. Lie Mid:"We have the most flourishing jonloi Itian Endeavor Society in the country."This wns nu index of "testimonials" thatfollowed during th* hour given this feature.

Mrs. Francis Clark, wifeol the presidentof tne society, next read a paper on "JuniorChristian Endeavor."

Aildret.% by Whltetnw Keid.WV.telaw Reid, the Republican candidate

for V ice-President, came on tne platform atthis point. He was introduced to the con-vention amid the waving of handkerchiefsand cheers and addressed the assemblage.Reid said in part: "Such an organi-zation as you display, animated bysuch a purpose, is an incalculableforce for good, not merely in thousandsof individual communities which are hererepresented, but in the metropolis. Ourforefathers, who laid tho foundation of theciviiand religious liberty we enjoy, weremen who planted their fortifications onevery hillside. You all know what thosefortifications were

—scliuo'.houseand the

church. Let us guard them as cur fathersguarded then: and we shall preserve the fairheritage we received and transmit it inturn, grand and beucfi beyond theirthought or ours to the latest ge"iieiation ofmen."

Reports from the delegates In differentStates regarding the juniors were next read.A series of addresses on Christian Endeavorin foreign lands occupied the conventiontill5 o'clock. The presentation of bannersto States for progress in the Christian Eo-deavor for the pest year followed. Okla-homa received the banner for the greatestproportionate Increase; Ontario for thegreatest absolute cain, and Illinois for thelareett number ol junior societies.

Over 3000 delegates who were unable tosecure admission to the convention hall at-tended an open-air meeting in front of thehall simultaneously with the sessionwithin. •

WannnifiLcr'B Speech.

The evening session began with a praiseservice, at the close of which Postmaster-General Wanamaker came upon the plat-form. lie received an ovation and was in-stalled as ure-.ident during the session.When he stepped forward and addressedthe convention he was received with ap-plause. In the course of his remarks hesaid: MIrejoice to-night that the ChristianEiideavcr has brought something to thisage— something that commands the goodopinion of the whole world. Men are ask-ing what is this movement and when did itcome? Itis the outgrowth of a movementall over the world fur the benefit of theyoung who nave come under Christian In-fluences. Itis the brightest star that banrisen in the Christian world in this century."Rev. Russell 11. Cornwall of Philadelphiafollowed with an address on the ChristianEndeavor societies ilace in modern re-ligious life.

Hon. Chnuncey If.Depe-.v was next pre-sented by Mr. Wanamaker, and when theapplause had subsided .Mr. Deoew spoke ofthe power of good possessed by the Chris-tian Endeavor Society. The society thenadjourned until to-morrow.

now the Society Ha» Grown.The Christian Endeavor movement is one

of the most remarkable in the history ol trieevangelical church's. It is a tin roughlymil-sectarian movement, and includes allof the evangelical denominations. Itwasstarted In Portland, Me., February i,eleven years ago— and now includes over19.000 societies, and numbers over 1,".00,000members.

The society has grown from a modesteffort to hold together the y<>ung convertsof a revival la Portland. Her. Francis E.Clark, pastor or Willstou Church in that city,conceived the idea as best calculated to inter-est theyoung people of hischurchin religiouswork, and also as affording a needed train-ing for the new beginners, who night other-wise stray away. Itproved a success, and.attracting the attention of other ministers,they promptly followed his example. Fora time the w.ik was conducted as a purelylocal movement with each- church, but inJune, 1882, a conference was held, and itwas agreed to organize a general society.There were then 481 members: in 1883 therewere 2570; in 1884. 8935; In 1885. 10,964; in1886, 50,000; in 1887, 140,000; in 188S. 300,000;in 1889. £00,000; in 1890, over 680,000; in1891, over 1.000,000, and In1892 1,300,000.

The object of the society, as set forth byits literature. is "to train young people forthe duties of their own church and denomi-nation. It exists to make young peopleloyal and efficient members of the churchof Christ. Like the Sunday-school, eachchurch society is In the !o2al church, and inno sense outside of that church." Itis in-tended practically to fill the place amongyoung adult members of evangelicalchurches that the Sunday-schools fillamongthe children, it has grown inabout thesame proportion Inall of the great evangel-ical denominations, and has received thehearty support of all alike without engen-dering any jealousies. The motto of thesociety is "For God and the Church." Inaddition to the society proper there \» aJunior Society for the training of the chil-dren of th? local churches and Sunday-schools, from which they are when oldold enough graduated into the parent so-ciety.

The anniversary of the establishment ofthe firstsociety. February 2. is celebratedas ;Christian Endeavor Day." This cele-bration takes the f. rinof uniting in univer-sal prayer for other Christian Endeavorsocieties throughout the world and In acontribution from the society treasury tothe home or foreien missionary board oftl.o denomination to which the society De-longs. The society is not confined to theUnited Stales, but extends to many foreigncountries. There are flourishing societiesin places as remote as Foochow, Honoluluand other foreign lands.

The Trouble With the Iron-Workersat Homestead.

COSFERESCE WITH GOYERXOR PATTISOS.

The Bills to Be Turned Over to the Sheriff ofthe -Watching for the

rintertons.

Sped*! to The Mons'ivo Call.

Homestead. Pa., July B.—The situationAt Homestead is absolutely unchanged.

There is nothing to-night indicating whatthe next step will be. Perhaps the troopswill be ordered here, but no one can say.The Sheriff made another ineffectual effortto obtain admission for his Deputy Sheriffsto the works and to raise a posse in Urine-stead. A proposition has been made to theworkmen asking if they will permit theDeputy Sheriffs to peacefully enter theworks and assume chaise. The propositionwas considered at a meeting to-day, but noconclusion wa3 reached, though there wasa general expression In favor of acceptingthe proposition and of submission to thelaw and the recognition of the regular con-stituted authority.

The men are Intensely suspicious andthey rear the introduction of the deputies isbut a cloak for more important action, viz.:that the Pinkertons willfollow the depu-ties and nou-union men the Pinkcrtons.Both of these latter they willresibt to theutmost. The cooler-headed men are advis-ing their associates 'to permit the deputiesto come in peaceaDly, but if it be grantedthey insist that the deputies shall be neithernumerous nor well aimed and t^hall notmako a move to protect the meu wiiom thefinu may lutioducrt. Tho move is really buta continuation of the forcible pr«ventinc ofa continua; cc »f the Billwork with aground for ie^al Contention in the suitwhich is certain to follow if the countyturns the works over to the fiimand is notliable for damages.

Al Mil> MIIIULITy.

The Workmen Peaceably Awaitloc theAclon of the Mill-Owners.

HoimniD, July B.—The unwillingnessof the men to turn the works over to theSheriff is increased by their openly ex-pressed distrust of Sheriff McCleary, butthe specter of the appearance of loug linesof soldiers with no.purposes but to sternlyobey the orders they may receive, is behindthe Sheriff's failure and some realize this.No disorder occurred up to 11 o'clock to-night, and no false alarms gain currency.Three more funerals of the last of thevictims among the workmen took place to-day. A fruitless meeting of the locked-outmen and the Sheriff's coming, his confer-ence and departure are in brief the story ofthe day.

Another 24 hours has passed and Home-stead continues in the possession of thelocked- men. They are the autocrats ofthe town, and many beneath their slouchedhats wear the dignity and know! ofsovereignty. Order i*strictly maintained,and to the Iredil of the locked-out men caube said that they have not committed orpermitted any act of violence or plunder,and beyond taking exceptional precautionsagainst the Pinkert v men gaining an en-trance or obtaining valuable knowledgethey have done nothing. The men are verynt cent and intelligent and are not the loud-mouthed ignorant class of agitators. Tin-factor is an important element in the situa-tion. Only a few workingmen are seen onthe streets and no drunkenness is noticed.At regular intervals the scouts and picketsare relieved and guards* are maiutaiued con-stantly.

ADVICE OF LLADEKS.

Th« Workmen Ailviae'l to IVrmlt tlirSlterifT to Guard tho Hill*.

Homestead, July B.—To-night HughO'Donnell and others returned from Har-risburg bearing with them a propositionfrom Sheriff McClcary asking that theworks be turned over to the deputies whomhe would appoint to take charm and boMthe property for the firm. The clticers ofthe Amalgamated Association are stronglyin favor of the men giving the deputies ad-mission into the works and so were the ad-visory committee. At a ma^-rueeliue atwhich President W>lhe presided, he urgedthat the firm must be given possession ofthe work?, ifuot a resort must be taken totroop*, The attorney of the associationnext addressed the meeting, and advised tljc

same ciursc. An adjournment was takenniter a committee was appointed to gotoPittsburg to confer with Sheriff McCleary,and learn his purposes if control \v;i« givenhim. and also to see the Adjutant-Generalof the State. Itis understood that anothermeeting will be held, but it has not yettaken place, and probably will not till thecommittee are ready to report. The leadersand the conservative element favor givingway, but a great nombui of the youngerand not-headed element oppose any yield-ing.

A startling rumor is being whisperedabout on the \u25a0Otttbside to-night to the effectthat as soon as an armed force appears onthe ground at Homestead dynamiter?, whohave been employed, will bo prep-trod tohurl bombs into the mil),and an effort willbe made to destroy th- entire p'mit. Thereliability of the runior is doubted.

All labor organizations in AlleghenyCounty are holding meetings and adoptingresolutioNS of sympathy, offering moral andfinancial aid, and committees are being ap-pointed to act with the committees iroinHomestead in the matter of combinedaction.

A LEADKit JNTIiKVIEWKD.He Says a Final Adjustment Most lie

Mario >otv.Homestead, Pa., July B.—Hugh O'Don-

nell, the leader of the workers, was seen to-day by the Associated Press correspondent.When asked what he had to say regardingthe assertion of Mr. Flick thai only325 of 3800 men were directly af-fected by the reduction in wattes, hereplied: "I frankly admit the truth of theassertion, but the, situation as itnow standsis this: If the men were to concede thepoint it would open the way for a generalreduction in all the departments.ItIs amatter of strict principle with the

Amalgamated Association to stand firmlyby Its Muni, who are one and all bandedtogether for mutual support, and the cause-o! one member it* the cause of all. If themen went back to work and consented tothe reduction of waves of 325 of their num-ber, eventually the wages of all the otherswould be reduced.

'The men will under no consideration

yield to the expiration of the scale in De-cember, The output of that season Is muchless, and they could ill afford to lie idle atthat time of the year, as Mure would surelybe suffering among the poorer classes. No,sir. the final adjustuieut must be madenow.

MUST GIVE IN.

The Authorities Trep-.rcd to Guard thel¥

ro|>«rty.Homestead, July B.—The mass-meeting

to-day was followed by a visit from SheriffMcCleary, accompanied by Deputy SheriffCluley and Legal Adviser Petty. Theycame for the purpose of raising a posse.Ex-Representative Fox, the Sheriff said,furnished him a list of about 1000 personswillingto be sworn in as deputies.

The Sheriff came to swear them in.About 20 persons were summoned andseven responded. They refused, however,to aid or Assist the Sheriff. The Sheriff

.would not say what his next move wouldbe, but Mr. Petty said the firm insisted thatthey were not in possession of their prop-erty and he agreed with him. "They willhave to be put in possession," said Petty;"that is the county's duty."

A rumor, which stirred up the meetingconsiderably this afternoon, was to the effectthat a mob of Piukertons was in town, butno foundation could be found for it. Itissaid some of the men have placed guardagainst the entrance of a hostileforce by train over the railroad bridgeinto the works. The scheme contem-plates the destruction by blowing upof Dart of the works. When news was re-ceived that the hired guards were on the waydynamite was taken to- the yards inlargoquantities, and it Is (aid to be for the pur.

pose named. Reporters are nut pleasingto the workmen, and the proposition wasmade to force them to leave town. Thelocked-out men say they have received alarge number of offers of assistance fromvarious narts of the country, and expressedthe confidence that they will succeed in theend. They are still willing to imve a con-ference, but say that Frick will not meetthorn.

Late this evening the men made a practi-cal demonstration to eject the newspapermen. Bob Herbert of the Pittsburg Dis-patch was put on a train and sent out oftown to-night, and another newspaper mannamed Hall was notified to leave.

At1 o'clock this morning everything isquiet and there are no indications of troublein the near future.

PiTTsnuuo, July The statements asto whether or not the Piukertons weresworn in as deputies are very conflicting.Sheriff McCleary says they were not, butthe Carnegie people insist they were. E.

This question will be an Impor-tant one iv settling the question of respon-sibility.

Hakrisbuko, Pa., July B.— A prominentcitizen of Pitt-hurg parsed through Harris- iburn this morning. He said there was no |

This letter, he said,was read to Sheriff McCleary, who ap-proved (it the arrangement*. They wereregular deputies, and were so recognized.

A TEXAN OBJECTED.

Cause of the Defeat of the HydraulicMiningBill

JOT 1 QUORUM PRESET TO VOTE.—The Bill ?•><•s Our Until Next Suspension Day.

Tin Failure Laid to theDemocrats.

Special to The Morning Call.

Washington, July 8.-The Californiahydraulic bill was beaten to-day becausethere was no quorum voting when the testfame. Itwillprobably come up ugain, how-ever, and then itwill stand n good show ofgoing through. It was suspension day anda two-thirds majority of those present wnsrequired to pass any bill. There is no doubtthat more than two-thirds of those la theirseats favored the bill, but a Texas Demo-crat objected and, backed up by a fewothers of his party, mado it impossible toput through the measure that meant somuch for the California hydraulic ruinoowners.

The. House took no Intermission and thesession had been prolonged by those whohad pet bills to get through under the rule,so that after the gas had been lighted andthe mining bill had been r^ad every man inthe hall was hungry and worn out. Mr.Cowles of North Carolina had specialcharge of the bill, being chairman of theCommittee on Mines ami Mining, but longbefore he had succeeded in attracting theSpeaker's attention that little matter hr.dbeen previously arranged. The Californiadelegation, without exception, had laboredwith every Congressman within reach toput down any opposition that might creepup. ana on every side assurances of friend--Bhip were offered.

Objected To by a Texan.When the bill had been read, however,

nnd before any remarks upon it could bemade, bailey of Texas arose and put in Insaccustomed objection, lie demanded asecond, which meant that a majority of thewhole House must vote in favor of the ques-tion in an indirect way before a direct voteupon the billcould be taken. Not enoughvotes could be mustered to accomplish this,and upon the suggestion of Dockery ofMissouri the Speaker announced that thebill would go over to the next suspensionday as unfinished business. The vote onordering a secoud was 132 to 3. NumerousDemocrats refrained from voting, but everyK'-iiiiblican on til* Ho. went through thetellers in favor of the bill. The appropria-tion carried in the bill as itnow stands is$10,000.

Camlnettl Explains III*D«re*t.Catninetti said to-night: "Had we suc-

ceeded in getting recognition sooner, wewould have passed the bill, but many em-bers were so tired that they went home. Itwas Impossible to hold them. 1 knew thatthere would be an objection from Bailey,but 1did not mind that, as with a quotumthe objection would have been futile. Justbefore Mr. Cowles wu recognized theSpeaker sent for me and said that in his iopinion Iwould be beaten on account of :the lack of a quorum and told meto use my own judgment in the case-.1 consulted with several men on thefloor and arrived at the conclusion thatit was best to have the bill comnup, and the:', if beaten, an adjournmentcould lie taken before tue, vole was an-nounced, and we would hold first ulace onthe list on next suspension day, which willprobably be next Wednesday. Iam sun;we will pas* it then." Caminetti d«niesthat all the Republicans present voted ontli» demand for the second.

This statement was '.tinned bypersons in tho galleries. nnd it puts on tne,

Democrats the responsibility of temporarily',ifnot Permanently, defeating the bill.

EVIDENTLY A CASE OF SMUGGLING.

Both Winchester and ilie Captain Assert TheirInoftnce, but the Coat's Vagaries at

Victoria ire Suspicious.

Special to Ins Mornisq Cam.

Sax Diego. July S.— traces of opiumhave yet been discovered on board the ElizaEdwards, the steam schooner under seizurehere for the alleged smuggling of 51 China-men and 2000 pounds of opium to the UnitedStates from Vancouver, B. C. The publi-cation of an attempt made yesterday byCaptain V»n Bremer and Dr. Winchester tobribe a reporter and editor of the Unionto suppress the facts already elicited causeda panic this morning.

Winchester left on the first train forSanta Barbara, where the customs officersbelieve the opium was landed. Itwas in-tended to make a thorough search of thepremises of both Winchester and Van !

Brewer for documentary evidence of theirguilt, but it is believed that Winchester leftwith the intention of destroying all tracesof a criminating nature.

Van Brtmei admits having touched atSanta Barbara, but says he did this to takeon fresh meat and a patent log. Not hav-ing reported to the customs authoritiesthere the vessel becomes subject to a fine of$1400, upon the payment of which her dis-charge willbr. ordered ifno additional evi-dence of smuggling is secured. Winchesteris said to have been involved in a similartransaction seven years ago.

Van Brenier now denies having offeredmoney to secure the suppression of thefacts, but the evidence is conclusive of theattempted bribery of newspaper men byboth the captain and Winchester. Thecook of the schooner is under arrest andmay turn State's evidence.

The steamer Coos Bay arrived to-dayfrom San Francisco in pursuit of the ElizaEdward?, but finding the latter in charge ofthe customs officers here and Revenue Col-lector Pbelps, itcleared this evening for thenorth. Collector Osboroe of Los Angelesaccompanied the latter to San Pedro. Cap-tain Van Bieiner is still staying at the lior-ton House. V

Another object was tosell the boat as there is no demand for seal-er.*, lor which business she was built, atpresent, owing to the Bering Sea troubles.

Winchester was in Los Angeles on hisway East when he heard of the trouble, andwent to San Diego to help his friend.

His reason for registering under, an as-sumed name was that he was constantlybesieged by reporters and customs officersand wished to be ridof them. lit-deniesall knowledge* of the story that the Eliza
