was taken, the Democrats refusing to pass between the tellers, ami a Democrat raised the point of "no quorum" and the resolution failed. Mr. Dorsey intends to go to the President to-morrow and suggest that lie permit the bill to become a law, and that the weak points in the measure shall be provided for by the adoption of another bill. It was an instance ofcussedness such as has probably before had no parallel, as there could be no political interest at stake. The only object in refusing to permit the resolution to be adopted was to make an imaginary personal attack upon the President and spill a little bitter spleen upon him. It seems that the Democrats in both branches of Congress have their war-paint on now and intend to do everything they can to embarrass the administration.. Determined to Obstruct Legislation. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington', July 7. The Democrats showed to-day that they fully meant what they said when they calculated to, block legislation hereafter as much as lay in their power. The blind Chaplain had scarcely finished bis prayer, and the Clerk had not yet read the first line of the journal, when Mr. Kogcrs of Arkansas arose and made the point of no Quorum.' Mr. Keed's count disclosed the presence of only ninety mem-

berg. A call of the House brousbt in a quorum, but not until an hour and a half had been wasted. It must be confessed that the Kepublicans were too restless to-day. for within an hour after the quorum had been obtained it was cone again. It had been intended to make this snspension-of-mles day, but the Speaker,, seeing that, in the present temper of the House. no legislation requiring a two-thirds maioritv vote could suc ceed, recognized Mr. Payson of Illinois to call up thefcenate land-grant forfeitures. Every request for unanimous consent was objected to by the Democrats. Their opposition was carried so far that when Mr. Payson, on the House going in committee on the wlfole on the House substitute, naked nnanimoua consent to dispense with the reading. General Hooper of Mississippi objected, thongh the substitute had been read onlv five minutes before. The de termination of the Democrats to block everything was shown just as clearly in every step attempted. NEGKO-nATLNG VIRGINIANS. Two Colored Men Shot Down at Alexandria Opposition to the Election liilL Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, July 7. rBoth sides of the question are anticipating the operation of the national election bill in sections of Virginia. Alexandria, a city of 18.000 people, located seven miles below Washing ton, on the Old Dominion side of the Potomac, is one of the first to anticipate re sistance to the measure. Last Friday eight there was a row among a lot of colored roughs, and during an effort on the part of a couple of white policemen to arrest the offenders, one of the officers fatally, shot two of tho black men. One of them died almost immediately, and was buried yesterday. The second was soriously injured, and has been expected to die hourly ever since the shooting. A tele gram was sent bv the police authorities here yesterday to the Mayor of Alexandria, stating that a large body of colored men was about to embark for that city to attend the colored man 8 funeral; that they had a brass band, and intended to raise a riot. The indignation of the Alexandria bour bons against the federal election bill, and their pent-up feelincs against the black man nut them in nrcper disposition to re ceive this news. The Mayor immediately ordered out a company of militia, and directed each man to carry twenty rounds of ammunition. He ordered the inilitia to see that there was no "funny business" on the part of tho visiting negroes, and when the funeral procession arrived at the Alex andria wharf they were received by mili tary coats and men in arms. It was claimed by the Alexandria people that the negroes intended to make a demonstration for the purpose of precipitating a riot, when the city was to be sot on tire, as one of the negroes on Friday night, immediately after the shooting, made a speech from the public square, and announced that since "niggers in v lrainia have no right which white men are bound to respect, they should prepare to defend. themselves, even by the use of ... . A . tne torcn." a ciasn oetween me races in Virginia, it is thought by the opposition to the election bill, would have a soothing ef fect on Congress just at this time." THERE HAS BEEN SO "DICKER. Why Consideration of the Tariff Hill Was Not Begun in the Senate Yesterday. Special to the IndianapoUs Journal. Washington, July 7. When, in the Senate to-day, Messrs. Allen, Mitchell, Plumb. Squires, Stewart and Teller, free-coinage Republicans, voted with the Democrats to not take up the tariff ahead of the silver, river and harbor and other measures, it was whispered around that the report. some time ago, to the effect that there had been a trade on the part of free-coinage Republicans and the Democrats whereby the latter were to help the former for free coinage, and the former were to help the latter against the tariff' and elec tion bill was true. Investigation, however, developed the fact that -the vote on tho tariff bill to-day indicated nothing more than that some 'Republican SnntriT HrairPfl tini.1 nrtinn nnnn th silvnr question, and the others the disposition of tne river and harbor bill; before" the tariff got the floor. There is no truth in the intimation that free-coinage Republicans have been trafficking and dickering with the Democrats in the interest of free coinage or in opposition to the tariff or the election bill. While the Republicans are divided on the silver question, they stand together on the general tariff question, and it is believed they will voto together one way or the other on the question of early -consideration of the election bill. MlOU 3IATTEK3. Minority Report on the Senate 13111 to Prevent Adulteration of Food and Drugs. Washington, July 7. Mr. Rate, from the committee on agriculture and forestry, reported to tho Senate to-day the views of the minority on the bill to prevent the adulteration of food and drugs. The minority deal at some length on the inefficiency legislation for this purpose in the past, extending as far back as the time of Henry III. They quote the report of the English board of inland revenue on the failure in that country of a law very similar to the one which it is now proposed to enact. The bill under consideration, say the minority, embodies an evil as great us adulteration in the host of offices which it creates. The host of revenue officers that already plague the people, says tho report, would be but a corporal's guard compared with tho regiment of employes to be appointed by the Secretary of Agriculture under this bill, without reference to the Civil-service Commission. "It is a bill for the increase of patronage rather than for the suppression of adulteration," says the report, "and will be more successful as a party measure than as a public benefit." The Chinese Minister's Statements. Washington, July 7. In the absence of Secretary Blaine and Assistant Secretary Wharton, of the State Department, Second Assistant Secretary Adee said to-day that he knew nothing whatever about the truth of the published statement that the Chinese government had recently made vigorous demands for the repeal of the Chinese exclusion act as outlined in a published interview with the Chinese minister, who armed here last night. Inquiry at the Chinese legation to-night failed, in the absence of interpreters, to obtain any verification of the report. General Notes. Special to the Indlanarolla Journal. Washington, July 7.

Ex-State Treasurer Archer came into court to-day, pleaded guilty to a charge of embezzlement of the funds of the State and was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. Tho sudden and unexpected ending of the case caused considerable commotion in all circles. The trial of the cause was set for to-morrow, but Mr. Archer decided not to stand trial. There was a consultation with his counsel, the judges wero notified, and it was decided to go into court nt once. Mr. Archer seemed bowed down by a realization of his terrible position, ana looked careworn and haggard. When the indictment charging embezzlement bad been read, counsel submitted a statement signed by Archer pleading guilty and throwing himself upon the mercy of the court. The statement was in part: I desire here, in the presence of this court, to acknowledge that I am guilty of the offense charged against mo in the indictment: and, also, to confess that 1 have been guilty of a great sin against Almighty God; that I have proved false to the great trust committed to me by my native fctate; that I havo deeply and cruelly wronged not only those friends who, because of their great and undoubted commence in my in tegrity, became the sureties on my olhcial bonds, but others, also, who have suffered pecuniarily because of that same confidence. The sorrow and misery which havo been caused by my conduct is shared by many, but no blame for any ptrt of.it attaches to any oue but mysolf. it is all mine, and mine alone. No part of tho State's securities was ever used by me in gambling, stock speculations or for politi cal purposes, nor have I at this time one dollar of it left. I, therefore, submit myself to tho good judgment and mercy of the v. w u 1 1 , rw Immediately after sentence Archer was driyen to the neuitentiary. Archer is now in tho hospital of the penitentiary a wreck, physically and mentally. He was so weak when he arrived at the prison gate he had to be assisted up the steps. v hen the warden appeared Archer roused himself, shook hands with him and said: "I have come over here to obey the rules, and to do whatever I am told to do." 1 his was the only remark he made. Ho was then registered in the penitentiary book. and was shaved by the prison barber. His long wavy, grayish brown hair and board were shorn on; and he was conducted to the bath room.; A striped suit was given him in place of his citizens' clothes, and Warden Vevler read the orison mles to him. Mr. Archer merely bowed his head in token teat he heard what was said to him. THREATS FROM THE SOUTH. If the Election Bill Is Passed the North Will Be Boycotted The Negroes Mast Go. Cincinnati. July 7. A prominent -whole sale merchant of Charleston, S. C, who does not wish his name to bo used, is in the city, and talked freely yesterday on Southern sentiment regarding the federal election bilL He said the people of the North have no idea of the intense feeling that exists among all classes in the South over the proposed measure. There is no disposition to talk about it or to make threats, but the passage of tho bill ' will be the signal for the creation of tho extremest bit terness, a feeling that will undo all that the years of peace have accom plished, and that will find manifestation in action. Frst of all, every Northern product, as far as possible, will be boycotted. Following this, will come the most extensive and effectual boycott on class labor ever known to the world. 'Arrangement are already under way to secure abroad thousands of white laborers, and every negro employe in the South will be discharged, and no Southern man will, under any pretext, give one of them employment, the object being to drive them into tho North and West.

Evans said e had noticed gas in the mine one year ago, but in very small quantities. Both men acknowledged that open lights were used in portions of the mine that were considered safe, also that meu frequently went to tho unsafe portion, or where the explosion occurred, with the lamps.

LONDON'S MGIIT OF TERROR

Threats of a General Strike of the Police Cause a Riotous Mob to Assemble. 4 Bow Street Repeatedly Cleared by the Life GuardsBankers and Merchants Doing Sentinel Duty Other Foreign News. LONDON POLICE. General Strike Postponed Last Night , with Difficulty-Riotous 3Iob In Bow Street" London, July 7. The police situation is rapidly nearing a crisis. The determined front of the men has led the West-end tradesmen and banks to prepare for the worst. They have armed their clerks and retrained every one of them on duty all night In addition to this the shop-keepers and bankers have barricaded the fronts of their secretly - locked and heavily-barred places of business, the fronts of some of which have been rendered almost impregnable to an artillery assault. Though these precautions have been taken, not one of the frightened trades-.. men and bankers can say what ho really fears. The striking police .themselves should they go ou strike would be tho very first to prevent thieves from taking advantage of the situation to plunder houses, and the idea of a riot between the old men and tho new ia regarded generally as absurd. Still no one can tell what may happen. Sir Edward Bradford, thonew chief commissioner of police, is also taking precautionary measures, evidently believing that tho men are thoroughly determined to obtain compliance with their demands at all hazards. Accordingly he has withdrawn all the special policemen employed at the theaters, halls, dock-yards and other places and ordered them to report for general duty. He has also called in the suburban reserves and notified all applicants for places on tho force that they are required to report for assignment to duty at once. Tne constable attached to the .bow-street station, who was transferred to another division, attempted to make a farewell ad dress to bis comrades in tho station-nouse. to-day, but was ordered to desist by an iuspector. A disorderly scene followed the giving of the ordor. Ihe assemu lea. con stables ejected the inspector from the room in which they were gathered, lie was then seized by some of the men and thrown over the ballustrade and narrowly escaped being killed. While Inspector lianson was parading a number of men in the yard a heavy spittoon was thrown at him from the window. The missile nanowly missed hitting him in the bead. This afternoon Chief of Police lira atom had a conference with the Bow-street oilicials. He afterward summoned before him. singly, the men who had refused to do duty on Saturday, and instantly dismissed each of them. The men of the Bow-street station-house were indignant. They alleged that only a portion of the number of men who refused to do duty were dismissed. They all went to tho street and news of the dismissals spread rapidly. Policemen in uniform and civilian clothing assembled, and special messages were telegraphed to all the other police divisions. Delegates from the other divisions reached Bow street later in the day, and it was declared by those present that a strike of the entiro Metropolitan police force would occnr tonight. The coustables telegraphed to Home fcecretary Matthews, as follows: At a meeting on Saturday it was resolved that you ho respectfully asked to reply to-day to the moderate demands of our petition. If the answer Is In the affirmative a disastrous strike will bo avoided. All the divisions await your reply, and trust that all the men who have been suspended will he reinstated. This dispatch was signed by delegates from twenty-ono divisions. It is stated that Sir Edward Bradford, tho new chief of police, has adopted an unusual mode of procedure. Ordinarily reports of ouenses against discipline are submitted to the Scotland Yard authorities, and tho men ' implicated appear when their cases are to be settled. But now, it is al leged, such cases are bemghastily handled. and men are not given a fair opportunity to make explanations. Scotland Yard people are making vigorous ellorts to meet the emergency, but it looks as if nothing but an immediate reply fromtthe Home Secre tary will avert a most serious strike. ' In anticipation of a strike ajriotous mob of roughs blocked up Bow street and vicin ity this evening, preventing tho constables from reaching tho station. Ihe crowd becoming turbulent, mounted oilicers en deavored to clear a passage, and were received with hoots and pelted with bags of Hour, sticks, etc. In one instance tho constables had to rescue a fellowollicer who was attacked by the crowd. At 9 o'clock, the Prince of Wales, escorted by the Life Guards, arrived at tho operahouse. The crowd thickened, and the turbulence continued until a late hour. A few persons were slightly injured. Tho majori ty or the ponce returned to duty as usual. The Strand and other thoroughfares were better policed than usual, owing to! Ihe drafting of men from suburban divisions, to meet an emergency. The Prince aud Princess of Wales and daughters left the theater at 11:S0 o'clock, and were loudly cheered, the crowd singing "He's a Jolly Good Fellow." Further drafts of Life Guards arrived to preserve order. A tavern which was closed in consequence of the excitement was wrecked by the mob, and the windows of other taverns were broken. At midnight the crowd was undiminished and the hooting was unabated. A steady rain was falling. Reports from all tho suburbs state that all of the night police aro on duty. The Home Secretary, tbe chicflof police and other high otlicials met at the Bow-street station to-night to discuss the position. It is reported that tho constables evinced much repugnance to going on duty, but yielded to the pressure of their officers. At this hour 1 a. m. the streets are quiet and the military have been withdrawn. The Bow-street mob tore down railings, shutters, etc.. and used them as missiles. Several persons were injured by being hit with stones, and three were taken to tho hospital. The people who attended the opera were greatly alarmed on account of tho disorder in the streets, but they were able to disperse without meeting with any interference worse than the obstruction caused by the great crowd outside of tho opera-house. . ; The Trouble Among the Postmen. London, July 7. Postmaster-general Kaikes has ordered the postmen to 'report for duty at 5 a. m. to-morrow morning, under the penalty of suspension. This action is taken by Mr. Raikes in order to enable him to ascertain who are the unruly members of his force. It is probable that a large number of the postmen will refuse to report at the hour named, and their suspension will doubtless bring the postal dilliculty to an issue. CnOLKItA EPIDEMIC. The Spanish War Minister Says It Is 3Inch Worse Than lias Been Reported. Madrid, July 7.

It was announced in the British House of Lords yesterday that the government did not intend to work the telephone lines, but that it was prepared to license companies for that purpose. The statement published in the Freisinnige Zeitung, that Emperor William, on his tripfrom Beilin to Kiel, on thenightof June 21, had an interview with Prince Bismarck at Schwazenbach. a station near Friederichsruhe, is senii-ofucially denied.

Kankakee, 111., July 7. The most serious wreck that the Illinois Central has experienced for several years occurred at Manteno this morning at 8 o'clock. A special excursion train of fourteen cars, carrying 000 members of Knights of Pythias and ladies to the biennial Supreme Lodge conclave at Milwaukee, was derailed at the switch, while entering the village at a speed of thirty-five miles an hour. The accident was caused by a loop switch-bolt being shaken out of its place by the passage of the train. The four forward cars kept the main track, and the remainder of the train stood upon the siding. When the train broke a chair car occupied by the East St Louis contingent, turned upon its side, and the occupants, numbering fifty, were hurled with great violence against the side of the car. The sudden stopping of the train prerented a long list of casualties.' J. If. Crowder, of Waco, Tex., . aged thirty years, was standing on the platform of one of the cars, and was killed. The wounded passengers -were all in the East St. Louis car. iThey are William J. Born, Miss Millie Doolev.T. W.Teague.CaptW. II. Sandusky and Charles Lantz.

ANOTHER BIG FIRE AT EVANSYILLE. Furniture Factory and Stove Foundry De stroyed, Involving a Los of 8190,000. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Evansville, July 7. The most disastrous fire that has visited this city since 18-87 occurred this afternoon, when the mammoth establishment of the Armstrong Furniture Company -was destroyed, and also the stovefoundry of tho Evansville stove-works. Tho tire caught in tbe varnish-room in the sixth story of the furniture factor, and gained such headway that the fire depart me nt could do nothing but attempt to save adjacent buildings.

Interesting Talk with a "Woman Who Lived There Twenty-Five Years. Pittsburg Dispatch. A reporter yesterday had a talk with tho widow of Prof. Martin II. Freeman, who returned from Liberia about a year ago. Sho is an intelligent colored woman, who talks with interest of her home in Liberia. Prof. Freeman was a teacher iu the Avery school for colored youth in Allegheny, when he decided, twenty-six years ago, to emigrate with his young wife to Liberia. He was offered the position of president of the college in Monrovia, and for a quarter of a century he labored in that free republic. He died there iO April, 1880, and Mrs. Freeman returned to Pittsbnrg with her two eons on July 11, l8hV. She said yesterday: "When we first went to Liberia we were all pretty sick. Immigrants are affected with a climatic fever, with chills. It is very debilitating. I have seen white people there have it two or threeyears. I know of one missionary, however. Miss Mary hort, who has been there ten years, and nas yver been in bed a day. "Very few colored people have gone there rora the North. There were only three or four Northern families In Monrovia when I came away. The colored peoplo do not like to leavo hero, where they were born and raised, and all their relatives live. Those who go from here do not like it at first, but after tbuy get land and raako a start in the world they like it better, A good many who go there would like to come back after a short time, but generally tbe3' are not able to do so. They don't have the money. Money is scarce there. The trouble is that those who go to Liberia usually have very little monej'. I have known families to land at Monrovia without a dollar. If emigrants co from this country with some money they are pretty Mire to get on well. To every family going into the country the government gives twenty-five acres of land. The soil is very rich and easily cultivated. The only trouble is that there are so many insects which destroy the crops. One of the chief products of the larms, which lie up in the river from Monrovia, is coffee. It is shipped away in large quantities. "I was well pleased with Liberia, but when my husband died there was nothing for mo to do there: It is a beautiful laud, full of tlowers and trees, hills and valleys, and splendid streams. The climate is much milder than this. There is not such a variation of temperature. The thermometer registers higher during the hot Reason, but you don't feci the heat as you do here. There is always a sea breeze, which is very enjoyable. "Tho government is modeled after that of the baited states, but is very simple. The taxes aro light. There are no saloons there, and I hardly ever saw a drunken man. The English and German vessels bring liquor there, and the Germans sell it at wholesale. The chief drink is gin. The natives consume more of it than the settlers. The natives make palm winu. but unless it is very old a person will not be intoxicated by it. "We are surrounded by native tribes, wno are all very friendly. A member of one tribe conuot understand the language of another tribe. A trader must know a great ruany languages. I know one mau there who speaks ten languages. My son here, who is seventeen years old, speaks four native languages and writes one, the Vey language. That is tho only written native language, and it has characters of its own. The people of Liberia take the native children into their bouses and raise them. That is the way we civilize them and make Christians out of them. "Liberia is a good place for colored people of this country to go, if they have some money to start with. They ought not to go with nothing." A Little Explanation. Philadelphia Inquirer. Old-fashioned people who do not quite understand what is meant by the "electrical storms" they read about so frequently are respectfully informed that they are the modern substitute for tho old-fashioned thunder-storms.
