Those on shore rendered every assistance possible, but their etlorts were generally unavailing. Fifty-five bodies have been recovered, four rersons still missing. About twenty per sons were moro or lens injnred. Tho vessel was found to have had her bottom badly Oamaged. Leopold's Congo Scheme. BitussELLs, July 9.

THE BEHRIKG SEA DISPUTE

President Harrison Asked to Lay the Correspondence Before the House. Congressmen Anxioas to Know What the Re ported Concentration of British Ships in Northern Pacific Waters Means. Washington. July 9. Mr. Hitt of Illi nois, from the committee on foreign affairs, reported back to the House to-day a reso lution requesting the President to furnish tho House with correspondence between tho government of the United States and Great Britain touching the subjects in dis pute in Behnng sea since March 4, 1SS9. Mr. McCrearv of Kentucky, in advocating Mr. Hitt's resolution, referred to certain newspaper reports of a breaking off of the negotiations between the two countries, and said that it was of importance that such correspondence as could properly be laid before the House should be communicated to it. Ho believed that the Secretary of State and Sir Julian Pauncefoto were in consultation at Bar Harbor, but he thought it was important that tho House should know the import of recent correspondence. Mf. Breckinridge of Kentucky suggested that the Secretary of State had authority to communicate any matter of importance to the House. Was there such gravity in the situation in Behring sea that the House itself should take tho initiative! Mr. Hitt replied that it was the usual course of tho committee on foreign auairs to call for information. The resolution was adopted. lor several months the foreign atlairs committee of tho House has been engaged in a discussion of various phases of tho subject. There has, been little communica tion between tho committee and the fctate Department with relation to the affair. though Chairman Hitt, of Illinois, is a close, personal friend of Secretary isiainc. The negotiations have been regarded as of 6o important and confidential a character that Secretary Blaine has preferred not to inform a greater number of persons than absolutely necessary of the progress made. lesterday. however. Chairman tlittcalied the foreign atlairs committee together and agreed to report to the House at once a resolution calling upon tho President to send to tho House all the correspondence on the subject of the Behring sea question that might properly be made public. Mr, Hitt hurried into the House as the hands pointed to 4:15 o'clock, and in the turmoil that preceded the adjournment he was unable to present his resolution; ith regard to tho action of the House to-day, Mr. Hitt said: "It is possiblo that all the correspondence between Great Britaiu and the United States will not be sent to tho House, as the resolution is so drawn that the President may. at his discretion, omit such parts a i in his judgment should remain confidential." Representative McCreary; of Kentucky, is the principal Democratic member of the House foreign affairs committee. Together with Representative Hitt, the chairman of the committee, Mr. McCreary has devoted a great deal of attention to the Behring sea dispute. In speaking of the resolution Mr. McCreary said: "The matter is one in which there should be as little delay as possible. While it is an exaggeration to nay that we are threatened with war, yet it is nevertheless a fact that an unusually large British fleet is being assembled in the north Pacific. There aro already two war vessels lying off Esquimault the Amphion and the Champion. I see by the telegraphed reports that tho Warsp rite. Admiral Holthman's flag-ship, is daily expected to arrive there, accompanied by three other war vessels carrying in the aggregate thirty-six guns. Wo are also told that two British torpedo boats have crossed the Atlantic, the first of their class to make tho trip. What do all these preparations nieanf Congress should not proceed in tho dark on such an important subject. We should know just what has been done, and what is expected mav be done. In other words. Congress shoululiave all the information obtainable on this matter." ' General Lord Wolseley's Plea for Peace. Baltimore, July 9. Lord Volseley, in a letter received in this city, writes: "The closer the bonds of peace between mother and child, England and tho United States, tho better it will be for both, for our race, and indeed, for civilization. Those who rant about causes of a quarrel between ns are no friends to either nation or to humanity. There must never be war between us, no matter how much either, or both, may be egged on by those who hate the English race, and would, therefore, like to see us at one another's throats. We feel quite as proud of the United States as any people can do. Its honor and reputation are as dear to ns as they can be to those on the other side of the Atlantic, audi rejoice, above all things, to think that the mutual respect we have always had for one another is now maturing into a sincere and mutual affection." SERIOUS LABOR RIOT. Blob Takes Possession of West Superior, Wis. Tito of the Kloters Wounded. Milwaukee, Wis., July 9. A special from West Superior reports a serious riotous demonstration by strikers there. It was expected that the strike among street laborers would be ended to-day by the men accepting the old wages of Si. 75 a day. The despondency of the men was but a lull bofore the storm. About 200 of the strikers appeared in the main streets this morning and proceeded to tho work on Twelfth street, where about forty men were employed. The strikers rushed upon them and a fight ensued. Contractor Sutton cut one man on the arm with a shoyel. Tho strikers chased Sutton to his house, threo blocks away, beating him with clubs. Later in the day the mob arrived at the American steel-barce-works, where they were kept at a distanco with revolvers. After dinner another attempt was made to force the works. Contractor Anderson shot one man in the head, the bullet glancing and hitting a man named John Fosteni in the left arm. The strikers then charged, but Mr. Anderson held his ground with drawn revolver, while tho mob threw bricks and anything they could lay their hands upon. When Mayor Patterson and a force of special police arrived on the grounds the strikors were wild for Anderson's life. Mr. Anderson was taken away and concealed in the second story of the carpenter shop. The strikers soon learned that he was concealed about the premises, and a hunt ensued. By means of ladders tho men climbed up and found him, but Mayor Patterson quieted the crowd by appointing a committee of strikers and a crowd of policemen to see Anderson to tho City Hall. To-night fifty well-known citizens havo been sworn in as special policemen. Toledo Freight-Handlers Out. Toledo, O.. July 9.

The twenty-tivo men in the Wabash freight-house went next, the Michigan Central and Toledo. St. Louis &. Kansas City next. At 3 o'clock tho Lake Shore officers held a meeting and resolved to fill the places of the strikers at once. The roads evince a disposition to unite in re sisting tho demands.

Tho Panhandle, the Baltimore iV Ohio Southwestern and the Louisville & Nashville all had a full force of freight-handlers at work to-day. On the latter road, however, the freight brakemen. conductors and engineers all refused to work. The Cincinnati Southern received until noon, when it suspeuded temporarily in trivn time to load ears. The Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton had eighteen men at

work. Work on tho Big Four progressed favorably till noon, when tho men were induced by the strikers to leave. The Chesapeake & Ohio was not receiving, but had forty men at work in the freight-house. Strike of Lake Seamen. Chicago. July 9. The recent strike of lake seamen, tying up the commerce of this port for several days, has brought about "a state of things" between the Sailors' Union and the Vessel-owners' Associations The latter met yesterday afternoon and resolved that after Aug. 1 they would employ only non-union men. and that, in default of help of that sort, they would tio up their vessels. It was also decided to advertise for men on the Atlantio coast. Cloak-Makers Hopeful. New York, July 9. The locked-out cloak-makers think that the worst of their fight with the manufacturers is over.

WOBK OF TUESDAY'S STORM

Eeports of Disasters on the Shores of Lake Champlain Still Meager. Nine More Persons Said to Have Been Browned Cleveland Tornado Worse Than at First Supposed Damago Elsewhere. ON TOE SHORES OF CHAMPLAIN. Tug Capsized and Three Lives Lost A Sur vivor' Hough Experience. Rouse's Point, N. Y., July 9. About 3:00 r. M. yesterday this place was visited by the worst wind and hail-storm ever known, demolishing houses and trees'and upsetting things in general. A few moments before tho storm, which came without warning, tho steam yacht Little Nellie, of this place, used for towing purposes, left this port with a pile-driver, bound for the Vermont shore, distant about three miles. When about a mile out she was lost to sight, and little hopes were entertained of bur reach ing a safe port to await the passing of the storm. As soon as the storm was over search was made for the missing vessel, no less than twenty boats leaving port to look for her. The search, however, was vain, as sne had gone down. Capt. tieorge Clark, his son, and engineer Hill were drowned. lint one man was saved, and he bad a terrible experience, being in the pilot-house when the boat capsized. lie also went down with the boat, but when she struck bottom he broke throush a wiudow and made his way to the surfaco of tho water, whero he battled with the wind, rain and hail for over an hour, being rescued in an exhausted condition. His hands and face were badly cut. For some reason tho man refused to give his name. Parties are searching now for the mibsing bodies, but as yet havo met with no success. It is feared there were other casualties, as several fishing parties on the lake have not yet put in an appearance. At Flattsburg and Iiluff Point. Flattsburg, July 9. The hotel at Bluff Point was damaged to some extent by yesterday's stora, and the trees in the park were injnred. A valet named Valley was out on the lake fishing when the storm struck him, overturning his boat and drowning him. A man named Ryan, living a few miles west of this village, had ono leg and an arm broken by the blowing down of his barn. The damage cannot yet be fully estimated. A large barn owned by Mr. Fordham, on Cumberland Head, and the large ice-houses of Brown Brothers and others in this section are total wrecks. Camn Idlewild. on Grand Isle, was demol ished, and its occupants narrowly escaped. A great deal of damago is reported from Grand Isle county, Vermont. 1 here are no wires working in the Adirondacks and the damage in that section is unknown. C. S. Griffin, of Buffalo, N. Y., was drowned from the capsizing of a boat on Lake Champlain. Nine Reported Drowned. Vergennes, Vt., July 9. A terrific wind. rain and thunder-storm passed over Ver gennes last night, doing great damage. Hundreds of shade trees were blown down. Tho streets dnring the storm were filled with flying signs, slate, bricks and a black cloud of dust. The lightning fashed in a tern tic manner and the thunder rolled heavily. H. T. Roth's wind-mill was leveled. The steamer Water Lily was caught in the storm, but lost no passengers and arrived safely. At Balls Bluff, N. Y., nine men are reported drowned. The steamer Oriole reached Flattsburg after the storm broke and is safe. The damago must bo very large, but is not estimated. CLEVELAND'S ROUGH EXPERIENCE. The Storm There Was a Veritable Twister Buildings Wrecked and Trees Uprooted. Cleveland, July 9. Tho wind-storm which swept this city last evening was, perhaps, the most severe as regards destruction to property ever experienced here The advance of the storm seemed to be a number of sharp, quick gusts of wind that wrecked chimneys, blow down trees, and sent everything movable through tho air. Its coming was shown by a cloud of dust fully 100 feet high, which obscured the sun and made the streets as dark as at mid night. Not a single object could be dis cerned at a distance of fifty feet. Tho fine dust filled the eyes and sifted into the clothing, and breathing to those on tho streets was impossible without a handkerchief pressed to the nostrils. Then came the rain, in rushing, swirling sheets, that beat down many plants and caused an exceedingly heavy loss to crops. In every part of tho city large trees were uprooted, as though they had been pulled from the ground by the force of a whirlwind, and the streets everywhere wero littered with broken branches. During tho storm, so reported last night, the electriclight mast at the corner of Bank and Lake streets fell with a deafening crash. Tho greatest damage, however, was on the oredocks along the old river bed, and will amount to at least 80,000, perhaps more. Three of the immense machines used in unloading ore from boats fell and were so badly damaged that they will have to be replaced by new ones. The' were valued at $30,000 apiece. Two hoists on the Cleveland & Pittsburg railway docks and one on the Now York, Pennsylvania & Ohio docks were destroyed. On tho West Side the damage to shade trees cannot be estimated at less than Si, 200, and the grieving ownersof the handsome poplars and maples which were uprooted by the wind will be impatient with such a moderate figure. Hardly a valuable tree of a few years' growth escaped. Half a dozon yachts inside the breakwater that wero not securely anchored were blown adrift. The large two-story building at the corner of Orange and Jackson streets, formerly used as a steam laundry, was badly damaged. Anew boiler-shop, being erected by Smith fc Teachout, between tho Frio and Nickel-plate tracks, and the building, which was to cost 4,500, was nearly complete. When the storm had passed a single corner post was left to mark the place where the building had been, and tho boards and roof were scattered about in a promiscuous manner. Several houses in the course of construction on St. Clair street were so badly twisted and damaged by the storm that it will be found necessary to rebuild them. Other minor damages caused by the wind are visible all over the city, and it will take many days to efface the evidence of the cyclone. TIIE STORM ELSEWHERE. Dock Demolished at Mackinaw Fears of Lake Disasters. Mackinaw City, Mich., July 9. This section was visited by a terrific gale, lasting from 10 o'clock until midnight. Rain fell in torrents and lightning Hashed incessantly. A dock 400 feet in length, belonging to the ice company, was torn avaj and several other local mishaps occurred. Disastrous results on tho lako are feared. Damage Done in Maine. Lewiston, Me., July 9.Specials from Somerset, Waldo, Oxford aud Franklin counties indicate that last evening's cyclone was one of the most disastrous that ever visited this vicinity. Many barns were blown down all through Franklin county. At North Anson the bridge across Carrabassett river is so twisted as to be unsafe. The Maine Central Institute at Pittsrield is damaged to a small extent, Captain Goddrich's cottage, at Madison. was blown llat. The barn and stable of Hamilton Marston were struck by lightning and burned. William Gunthef's house in Bethel was moved from its foundation. At Thorndike a store was demolished. In various parts of Maine nearly one hundred barns were blown down or unroofed. At YVlnthrop, Me. Wintiirop, Me., July 9. Crews of men are busy clearing away the wrecks by last night's atoxju. The damage will bo moro

Hearty Indorsement of the Administration and Strong Plea for the Election DHL Little Kock, Ark., July 9. Tho Kepublican State convention met here to-day, and declined to place a Republican ticket in the field and formally indorsed the Union Labor ticket, headed by Key. N. B. Fizer for Governor. The following platform was adopted; The Kepublicans of Arkansas, in convention assembled, send congratulations to their brethren in all parts of the Nation upon the restoration of the Kepublican party to power in national affairs in administration and in legislation. We cordially indorse and approve the wise and patriotic administration of President Harrison, and we hail with delight his declaration that tho rights of all American citizens roust be as fully proteotcd In all parts of this Union as they are In foreign lauds. We congratulate the national House of Representatives, and in an especial manner the Speaker thereof, the Hon. Thomas I. Reed, on its ability to transact the public business with accuracy and dispatch; on its overthrow of filibustering; on the justice of its action in unseating members representing a fraudulent ballot-box and seating Representatives elected by the people, and particularly on its intelligence and courage iu passing a bill contaiuing proper provisions for the protection of voters in national elections in conformity with the power granted to Congress by the Constitution in that behalf. We assume that this vital and beneficent measure will receive favorable action from a Republican Senato and a Republican President, and thus become a law of the land at an early day. With the Republicans of Amansas the question of tariif, and silver and all other questions are held subordinate to that of a free ballot and a fair count. With the solution of this question the solution of all other questions will be readily found in conformity with tho will of a free feonlo. In state affairs the object to bo attained s due enforcement of the laws and a free exercise of the elective franchise, culminating In a free ballot and a, fair and honest count. To this end we will co-operate with all good citizens, regardless of past political aihliation, who agree with us on these fundamental principles of freedom of opinion, freedom of speech and purity of elections. With these influences put in operation we may confidently hope for the overthrow of the present misrule of the Bourbon Democracy. Tired of Fighting Against Fraud. Washington, July 9. The Virginia Kepublican State committee, in accordance with a determination arrived at in a meeting held at Chamberlain's yesterday; to-day passed resolutions declaring that they will not participate and advising all self-respecting Kepublicans to forbear participation in any election in the State where and so long as tho same shall be conducted upder the foul election law of the Democratic Earty as now fraudulently administered, opefully biding the time when unlawful disfranchisement of the electors and fraudulent returns shall become repugnant to popular sentiment. In deference, and only in deference, to what may be wished in some districts, authority is delegated to every congressional committee to call conventions if it desires to do so.

Venus, Satnm, Uranus, Mars and Jupiter What May Bo Seen with a Glass. New York Sun. Five of the earth's sister planets, Vcnns, Saturn, Uranus, Mars and Jupiter, aro now visible in the evening. They are strung through the sky from west to east. Venus setting just as Jupiter is rising, and tho others being scattered along the arch of the Zodiac between the two which terminate the line. It is at present a doubtful con test between Jupiter and Venns for the first place in brilliancy, but in a few weeks Venns, which is approaching the earth aud consequently growing brighter, will have become incontestable brighter than her gigantic rival. Saturn is only some twelve or fifteen dogrees from Venus, near the star Kegulus in Leo, and is not a conspicuous phenomenon in tho presence of his brilliant sister. Uranus is quite near the bright starSpica in Virgo, aud although visible to a sharp eye without optical aid, should be looked for with the help of an opera-glass and a planisphere or star map, on which its position among the neighboring small stars has been jotted down. Mars.is in the singular constellation of Scorpio, whoso long-winding assemblage of stars may be seen just in the south about 9 o'clock. Mars is not quite so bright as Venus, and its ruddy color will readily serve to distinguish it. Jnpiter is far over in tho east In the con stellation of Capricornus, and noes not get well clear of the mists of the horizon before about 10 o'clock. Whon it has risen sulhciently high, and the air is clear, a good field glass easily shows its four moons, which appear as tiny specks of light almost swallowed up in tho glare of tho great planet. If the observer does not see them the first time he tries he should not conclude that bis glass is incapable of seeing them. They may be too close to the planet, and some of them may bo, at the time in eclipso from Jupiter's shadow or in the act of passing either behind or in front of the planet. Their motions are so rapid that a considerable change in their relative positions may be witnessed in tho course or an evening. It will be found a very interesting occupation, by the way, to take an opera-glass, and, beginning with a good look at Venus before she 6ets, follow the line of the Zodiac, along which the planets lie, over into tho east, where Jnpiter is rising. Tho observer will pass across the constellations of Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius and into Capricornus, beholding some of the richest scenery in the starry heavens. This is particularly true of Scorpio and Sagittarius, where the broad stream of the Miiky Way is crossed. Here some of the finest star clusters and star swarms may bo seen, and a powerful glass will reveai au amazing amount of detail where the stars are bedded like silvery banks of pebbles.

Whether the bill becomes a law or not, thero will bo no bloodshed, no boycotting of Northern trade or capital, no boycotting of negro labor, no revolution, anil no Tunning of tho negroes into Mexico. According to the boast of tho .Southern Democrats themselves, they will find ways to nullify the law and prevent ita practical working, and the old condition of atlairs will continue. That is their private programnio if their present course fails to prevent tho final adoption of the measure. IiaptUt Unirerslty. CniCAGO, July 9.
