A. DISGRACEFUL

SCKN'E

WASHINGTON, Sept 29.—The he was passed at the opening of the session of the house between Mr. Morse (Mass.) and Mr. Klthian (111.) but no blows were struck and no blood will be spilled. Tho altercation was au outgrowth of Mr. Morse's filibustering course Wednesday.

Mr. Morse, in a five-minute spcech, tried to justify his action, during the course of which he charged Mr. Fithian with being responsible for the house refusing to permit him to print in the Congressional Record some newspaper extracts attacking Commissioner Loohren.

Mr. Fitliian, rising to reply, said inasmuch as Mr. Morse had seen fit to criticise him that he desired to call the attention of tho house to a rather dubious proposition made by Mr. Morse to him. He said Mr. Morse, when he (Fithian) objected to his leave to print, came to him with honeyed words, and informed him that he was a member of the committees on public buildings and grounds, and Intimated that if he (Flthian) had a public building, he (Morse) might be able to help him if the Illinois congressman could see his way clear to withdraw hl9 objection.

Charged with Falsifying.

"That is absolutely false," sliout'-o Mr. Morse, striding in a warlike man ner toward Mr. Fithian. "If the gentleman from Massachusetts denies this statement." said Mr. Fithian, "I liuve proof to adduce that will satisfy any member of the house. My colleague, Mr. Uoldzier, heard tho oonversation."

As Mr. Fithian said this Mr. Morse backed against the rail and replied, meekly: "What the gentleman s«ys has the color of truth [laughter], bul the construction he places upon it is unqualifiedly false." "If the gentleman denies ihc statement," yelled Mr. Fithian, shaking his list angrily at the Massachusetts eongressman, "he is willfullv lying himself."

In a minute the house was in an uproar. The speaker quelled tho pending riot by pounding his desk vigorously with the gavel and declaring both gentlemen out of order. This closed the incident.

IllMb (or Repeal.

Gen. Black (dem., 111.) made a strong speech in the house in favor of tho repeal of tho federal elections laiv. He began by saying that "As a democrat and a citizen I favor a repeal of this law." lie spoke with much force and eloquence, saying that the federal election law "was not enacted for the elevation of the ballot box, but to intensify the race issue existing in a large section of this country and to support the weaker and more ignorant class of our people as against the stronger and more American of our citizens." Thai- appealed to force rather than to reason. The law placed too much power in the hand?, of improper men. "I will vote," declared (ten. Black, emphatically, for any amount of mouey and force, if necessary, to up hold the dignity of the government and the riglfts of its citizens, but these laws do neither."

Cost of the Lair*.

He then went into a detailed analysis of the cost of these laws. He read a letter from Comptroller Bohlar showing that from 1677 supervisors of elections had cost 12,854,000 and deputy marshals $1,127,000. The cost of the troops it was impossible to detail. Their cost represented all the hidden drains to be accounted for. The records showed that at first these officials had been massed in democratic states in the south and in New York. Gradually the amount spent in democratic states decreased and the amount in republican doubtful states increased. In Illinois in 1870, when that state first showed signs of breaking her a^egianoe to the republican party, but iTTlOO was spent. In 1878, when the state was doubtful, 1,880 supervisors and 2,400 deputy marshals were employed at a cost of 1100,000.

Mr. Cannon (rep., 111.) wanted to know what federal official had been guilty of oppression. "Every man who wore the tin star of intimidation was an oppressor," replied Gen. Black.

Indtaim Heard From.

At the conclusion of Gen. Klack's speech (Mr. Johnson (rep.. Ind.) took the floor in opposition. At the very outset of his remarks he announced that he intended to call all things by their right names. A synopsis of his address follows. Said he:

The Kill Denounced.

"1 warn 10 stigmatize this bill a* the climax of all that is audacious and vicious. It unbluabingly assails all that is near and dear to the American heart It is the unfortunate child of a wretched conspiracy it is conccked in a spirit contrary to the principles of our government It is a proposition to blot out all the laws to protect the purity of the ballot and a cold-blooded proposition to repeal all the laws making violations cf election taws crime.s, IV} be consistent the democrats should rcpcui all other Inws for the punishment of crime, counterfeiting, robbery and merder.

Violent Attack on Democracy. With vehemence the ludiantan charred the democratic party with being responsible for violation of the sanctity of the ballot-box, with corrupting tho conscience of the nation and detying ths public will. The part or the democratic party In tho struggle for disunion was described, and then in turn the democratic party was charged with forging the Morer letter in 1884, with forging the returns in Chioago in the same year that sent Joe MacUin to the penitentiary, with forging returns in Ohio and Indiana, with frauds innumerable in New York, with deeds of violence iu the south.

A Bout with Breckinridge.

Mr. Breckinridge (dem., Ky.) followed and hurled defiance at the Indianian. "Jf the gentleman is a fair type,*' he said,

I have a profound pity for a man who could make such a speech, who does not believe his countrymen are to be trusted. With this I dismiss him from my mind and from my speech." "There are other things,'* bhouted Mr. Johnson, springing to his feet and reaching out his long arm in the direction of Mr. Breckinridge, "which the gentleman from Kentucky would like to dismiss!" At this direct allusion to the famous Pollard-Breckinridge breach-of-protnise suit some of the republicans laughed, but the laughter was drowned by a storm of democratic hisses.

a remark," replied Mr. Breck

inridge, bitterly, "only shows that the gentleman has no sense of the propriety and decency of public life.''

Mr. Breckinridge's speech was devoted largely to the constitutional phase of the question. These laws, he argued, marked an era their repeal would mark tfie beginning of another and a better era. "I do not care to reply to the attacks of the republicans against the democratic party,'' said he. "You ,can't indict a whole people. You no longer indict the south when you attack the democracy, for the time has come when a majority of the representatives from the north are democrats." At the conclusion of Mr. Breckinridge's speech the house adjourned.

In the Senate*

WASHINGTON, Sept 29.—During a speech on Ills resolution calling for information as to tlie anticipation of interest on the government bonds since July, 1880, Senator Teller (rep., Col.) berated l\j* republican colleagues for aiding theTlemocrats to stifle inquiry The resolution was agreed to.

F«*(fer Criticises Cleveland.

Senator Peffer (pop., Ivan.) addressed the senate. He sent to the desk and had read the letter of the president to Gov. Northen, of Georgia. The letter did not dissipate, said Senator Peffer, the confusion in the public mind as to the president's real opinion 011 'the monetary ^nestion. He might be a monometallism he might be a bimetallist bnt there was nothing in the president's letter to show what kind of a metallist he was. The senator continued: "There was but one thing :he president Insisted upon and that was the repeal of the Sbermjn law. White pretending to be a btmetanist. as number of senators prftteoded to be: while prelendlns thai he fawed the use of gold and (liver, the president made It plain If unythin® In the letter was plain that hft would measure by a *old standard, whereas the history of ihc couatr hae been just the reverse. Oetd had been measured by the silver standard, and Senator Feffer Insisted that the system had not been changed so far as concerncd the law. Senator Peffer said bis amendment, which Is the pending one. would give ths country bl meullitim. "Whenever the administration, represented by Its friends upon liiis door," declared Senstar Pefler. "arc ready to accept tbu iienalut amendment or some other amendment whft'fc will bilng about the restoration of Ike law of 1837. they can pass the repeat bill in twenty Ave minutes. 1 do not believe there Is a senator here who would oare to aay ane word uiore If only the chairman of the committee on tlnance would Indicate to us that he was ready to acuept thai coniiroaiise.

SpealiIne for mysolf and the people I represent, that Is the only compromise we oflcr or will accept. AnythhiK less than that would be a surrender."

Ready to Talk AU Might.

Senator Poller's speech covered a wide range of subjects—the opening of the Cherokee strip, the methods of loaning money on western farm lands, the employment ot armed forces !ndifficulties between employers and employes and the loaning of mon«y al usurious rates were all discussed incidentally to the original 2uesti4n. At 6:10 ho reached what he denominated the subject of "parties." Then ho paused and said that while he wan willing to oontinus with his spccch in the eveutng and to address the senate till sunrise he did not desire lo exhaust the patience of the senate by askiug Die senators to remain longer than they wished to.

At this Senator Harris (detu., Tenn.) moved an executive session. At its conclusion the senate adjourned.

A CHICAGO TUAOKDY.

CHICAGO, Sept. 29. —After hluHliujr and seriously wmindiup three men James McGrath, a notorious west side character, was shot twice and killed instantly by the Maxwell street police officers Thursday afternoon. The injured are: Officer Miehael Klemming. of the Maxwell street station, shot in the calf of the left ley. taken to the county hospital: Thomas Behan. S3 Henry street, shot through the head by McGrath, taken to the county hospital, will die IMward .laekson, KM West Kighteenth street, shot in the bridge of the nose, taken to the county hospital.

Itefeiilt of a Quarrel.

The first shooting was the result of a quarrel between McGrath and Behan. The latter was taken to the hospital and only regained consciousness long enough to give the name of his assailant. Officers Fleming and Butler found McGrath on Can at street and accosted him. McGrath turned with an oath and fired point blank at Officer Butler's head. The bullet, however, went wide of its mark and struck Kdward Jackson, who was walking on the opposite side of the street, in the bridge of the nose, breaking the bone. McGrath again leveled his revolver and directed it towards Officer Fleming.

As he fired the second shot both of the officers discharged their weapons at him. The two bullets fired from the officers' revolvers took effect, oue of them passing through the desperado's heart, while the other found lodgment under the right armpit. Tho dead body of McGrath was removed to the county moryie, while Officer Flemrning and lidward Jackson were taken to the county hospital.

Sept. -JO. —A false alarm of

fire was given Thursday in the synagogue at Ralwarya. near Suwnlki. The building was crowded with men and women at worship. All started at once for the two exits, and. despite the snouts of the rabbi that there was no fire, fought to get out. After a struggle of ted minutes twothirds of the congregation were still in the synagogue. As no fire appeared they became calmer, and with the aid of the caretakers the rabbi eventually restored quiet. Nine dead bodies were found near the exits and twenty persons lay unconscious and bleeding where they had been trampled. Fully a hundred persons ware injured in the rush. Fifteen are suffering from woupds likely to cause death.

CRITICISM OF CLEVELAND.

The Preaident Compared with the (leruian Ktuperor. LONIKIN. Sept 29.—The Standard in

an editorial says: "President Cleveland's dire't downrightness on the currency muddle is refreshing but his seeming orders to the senate tu hasten to do his bidding i-. an error of tactics which has given a pretext to Senator Stewart's outburst. Mr. Cleveland's utterances bear o.-ca-.ionally a resemblance to those of t.lie German emperor." The paper says that Mr. Cleveland's letter to Gov. Xonhen, of Georgia, is likely to retard the repeal of the Sherman silver luw.

IMUA.NAI'IU.IS. I mi.. Sept. IN—The Missouri conference of the African Metliooi:-i l-.piscopal /aon church, composed of eighty ministers from Indiana. Illinois, uiiio. Kentucky and Missouri, at. it.-, session Thursday took strong ground against the lynchingof uegroes. Bishop Walters said in his address: "Thi lyiuiii.iK u! net/roes for iriliniK otteuses, and in many enses innocent ueiji-o'-'s. is iucrnasimi lo an alarming extent. Something has got to be done. Hie time has come when every minister, while and black, should lift up his voice against these outrages anu barburilles. The blood of these innoccni creatures calls iii'utl lor vengeance: it is your place, by earnest atiu courageous agitation, to help answer their caiis. Lei us rouse public sentiment in our favor by telling of these heinous crimes until the good people of this country ore moved to spent out in our defense, l'h.rteen uegroes, tl.e va-l majority of tlieni Innocent, mere murdered ia«i week, it is a burning shame upuii our civilization. We cannot lonjr-.T be silent but must cry aloud, ana crv until these outrage- are banished from oar laoci."

Protect \hi»k.v llut :ot the Negro.

Dr. J. P. Thompson, of St. Louis, apoke very excitedly, and his remarks were received partly with applause and half laughingly on account of their emphasis. He knew he wais regarded as something of an anarchist, he said, but he felt that there was too much praying. The righting of the wrongs of the negro could come only through the shedding of blood, a.s the negro had been freed only by bloodshed. The negro who wasn't willing to shed his blood for his wife and children wasn't fit to live. The uegroes ought to do something for themselves-. Praying without doing anythiug was, he thought, an offense to God. He spoke with passionate iudlgnation of the "Jim Crow" cars the negroes are compelled to ride in in the south and favored burning the roads using such oars. The United States could send marshals down south into the mountains to protect a bottle of whisky, but it could not do anything to protect a negro

Must Agitate.

Bishop Walters rose to explain that he did not favor bloodshed and burning. The negroes, he said, should, by living as good citizens and pointing out the injustice done to {hem, arouse the public s.-iitimeut in their favor. If a negro committed murder or outrage he ought to be executed or puuished. but what he demanded was that the negro should have fair trial like anv other citizen. '1 hi* pi-oper wuy to proceed was by agitation such as would arouse the sense of justice in the white people as well as among the negroes.

Public Opinion Mu.t Be Arouned.

Rev. John Holiday, book agent of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church, held that public opinion was the source of law, and that the lawcould not rise above it. The law was a power only when public opinion was in favor of it. The way to get justice for the negro was to arouse publio opinion on his side. Ths bull that tried to stop the train was to be admired for its pluck, but was lacking in Judgment. He favored the turning of public sentiment by increase in knowledge and good living on the part of the negro.

REDUCTION ACCEPTED.

Big Four" Employe* Refuse to Order

Strike.

TERHK HAUTE, Ind., Sept 29.- -Grand Master Sargent received a telegram from Cincinnati Thursday afternoon saying the result of the vote on the Big Four was to accept the proposition of the company for a reduction. Nothing further was said. but it is well understood to be the fact that while the necessary two-thirds of the Bremen, trainmen, operators and switchmen voted to strike, less than two-thirds of the engineers and conductors did so. Under the, federation rules two-thirds of each order must vote one way to carry a strike. Grand Master Sargent has gone to Denver, where the brotherhod national executive officers are called to consider a parallel situation on the Denver fc. Bio Grande, and Grand Secretary Arnold has gone to Louisville where alike case is presented on the Newport News. It is a safe prediction that under the federation no strike will be ordered this year on this question of wage reduction, chiefly because the engineers and conductors will vote against it
