result, changed his vote from the negative to tho ailirniative in ,order to move a reconsideration, but this motion was inade useless by the absence of a quorum. Tho bill "will be taken up to-morrow immediately after the adoption of tho journal, bo that possibly a vote may bo reached late tomorrow afternoon. It was thought at first this morning tho report would not De presented before Tuesday, as it was feared the Democrats would adhero to their obstructive tactics and filibuster against tho bill unless there was a liepublican quorum. This, it was believed, could not be brought hero before Tuesday. It was learned later in the day, however, that the Democrats would not filibuster, but in consideration of being allowed time for debate would facilitate action on the report. Mr, Bland, who will lead tho Democrats in their opposition, said to our correspondent this evening: "It will be a square light. We will not raise the point of no quorum, nor will we indulge in any other means of obstruction in our power. There is no reason that I can see why the vote phould not be reached to-morrow. We fear, of course, that the report will bo adopted. I expect that the entire Kepublican vote will be solid for the report. I do not expect a single one of the free-coinage Kepublicans to vote with us against the report. They look upon the report as the best that can be done under tne circnmetances, and will, therefore, stop all further opposition." The bill will be a law within a week, it is generally believed.

HE'S TO BE MARRIED TO-DAY

Explorer Stanley Unfortunately 111 on the Eve of the Great Event of His Life. Curious and Beautiful Presents American Tariff Bill Again Discussed in Parliament Fight Over British Rules of Procedure. STANLEY'S WEDDING. Curious and Costly Present Arriving TIandFalntcd Wedding-Cake. London. July 11. Stanley is daily becoming the recipient of costly and curious presents, which include almost everything the ingenuity of man can devise. Among the latest arrivals tho gifts of men of the advance guard of the Emin relief expedition was a beautiful over-mantel of ebony and silver, resting upon an easel of the same wood. Tho mantel is decorated with photographs of Stairs, Parke, Nelson and Jephson, one in each corner, and the picture of Stanley in the center. A firm of watchmakers presented a patent gold geographical watch, the first of the kind ever manu factured. It tells the exact time in almost every important city in the world. . The Prince of Wales sent a large family Bible and a framed embossed poem, and Gourand gave him a phonograph. There are only four of these instruments in England. Three of them will be placed in Westminster Abbey during the Stanley marriage ceremony. One will be placed in the tower to record the full sound of the wedding bells, another beside the organ to catch the music, and the other in the choir. The instruments will be given to Mr. and Mrs. Stanley, so that the singing &nd music may be repeated to them. The bridal cake has already been made. It is mounted on a circle of fluted silver pillars. A white silk shield, with the initials "D. T. H. M. S." hand-painted, will be pinned in front. Three cornucopia;, filled chietly with orange blossoms, will be placed on a large tire. Surmounting the cake will be a cup of ilowers upheld by cupids, while underneath, between the pillars, a white cupid will sit, with one list mancled to tho eyes, representing grief. Mr. Stanley is su tiering from a severe attack of gastritis, and is confined to his bed. It is feared that his marriage to Miss Dorothy Tennent, which is arranged to take place in Westminster Abbey to-morrow, will have to be postponed on account of his sickness. The Queen has presented Mr. Stanley with a miniature likeness of herself set in diamonds. Accompanying the gift is an autograph letter, highly eulogistic of Mr. Stanley's services in the field of exploration, and wishing the explorer a happy wedded life. THE M'KINLEY HI LI, Again Made the Subject of Inquiry In the British Parliament. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London, July 11. In the House of Commons this evening Mr. Howard Vincent asked the government if, in view of the fact that a free market had been accorded to American imports to Great Britian while the heavy duties imposed upon British goods had nearly extinguished the national debt of, the United States, the government would invite America to refrain from enforcing the prohibitory tariffs now before Congress but instead give fair commercial reciprocity. Sir James Fergusson said that no such representations were likely to bo successful. Sir James was further questioned as to what action Germany proposed to take in the suggestive development of free trade between England and also between Great Britian and the colonies as an oil set to the hostile'taritVin America. He replied that the government had reason to believe that Germany did not intend to take any action in tho matter at present. The joint measures suggested were inconsistent with the fiscal policy of England. JUST LUCE A31EIHCANS. British Legislators Fighting Over Rales of Procedure Smith Will Not Retire. London, July 11. Tho meeting of tho procedure committee yesterday was very spirited, the sitting being enlivened by sev eral tilts between the leaders of the opposing parties. Sir William Harcourt and Mr. Chamberlain indulged in an exchange of vigorous lauguage, and Mr. Gladstone displayed considerable temper in his objections to tho government programme. In a forcible and somewhat lengthy speech the Liberal leader protested against the report prepared by the committee, basing his ob jections upon its phraseology. As the re port is framed it allows the House to post pone indefinitely not only the pending bills but any measures that may be introduced in future. Under this rule any home-rule bill that may he introduced at a later ses sion can be shelved at will, even before it has reached tho stage of discussion. Mr. Gladstone denounced the arbitrary spirit of such procedure, and was supported in nis criticisms oy tne oioer xioerais. rue Liberals are exultant over the surrender of the government, as evinced by the statement of Mr. Smith in the House last night, and will probably offer no further obstruction to tho ministerial programme, unless. perhaps, in the matter of objecting to the proposed November session, against which a large number oi Conservatives are pro testing. The government having become so completely hemmed in that it is afraid to make a tight on any measure, will prob ably recede from its scheme of a November session if the opposition to it promises an even chance of defeat, which it certainly aoes irom tne present ouuook. msT ttr.ili i T tr :it . . jir. wiiiiam ueury cmim nas written a letter to a Conservative election organizer, stating that ho has no intention of vacating his seat in the House of Commons, but, on the contrary, nronoses to stand for re turn at the next election. This is the first statement on the subject from Mr. Smith himself, and ellectually disposes of tho persistent rumors of his retirement from the government leadership and elevation to the peerage. SPEECH BY PARNELL. He Gives Air. Balfour Some Kindly Advice About the Land-Purchase Rill. London, July 11. Mr. Parnell, in the House of Commons, this evening, made the closing speech in the debate on the vote for Mr. Balfour's salary as Chief Secretary for Ireland. After remarking that he was anxious that the 33,000,000 proposed under the land-purchase bill should boused to the "best advantage to settle the question, Mr. Parnell suggested that the constabulary be employed in the autumn in obtaining returns from estates in Munster and Cannaught showing the rents paid respectively by occupying and non-occupying tenants. If that course was taken, he said. Mr. Balfour would find tne magnitude of tho problem he had undertaken to solve enormously reduced. He would be enabled to so modify the bill that the available funds would go a deal further than he had auv present idea of. It must still bo in. sisted, however, that local money must not be hypothecated without the consent of the local authorities. Mr. Balfour thanked Mr. Parnell for the moderation of his speech, and promised to consider the mat ter. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Russian Measure to Counteract Chinese In fluence on the Siberian Rorder. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London, July 11. The Russians are counteracting Chineso military concentration in Manchuria by taking steps to establish a strong Russian colony in the Siberian district joining the Chinese frontier, and from this colony Chinese are to be rigidly excluded. The lands are to be allotted to veteran soldiers and others whose fidelity to the Czar can be implicitly relied upon, and the colony is to be connected by telegraph and railway communication with St. Petersburg. It was the Kussian desire to

extend a telegraph line under Russian control to Pekin, but the Chinese government refuses to permit it. Illsmarck Growing Garrulous. , Frankfort, July 11. In an interview to-day Prince Bismarck spoke very bitterly in regard to what he called the cowardice of the German press. He declared that never before had he been asked for an interview by a German journalist. "The Post and Cologne Gazette," he said, "which formerly were in constant communication with me, now flee from me as from a pestilence." He expressed the preatest confidence in Dr. Miquel. He believed that Dr. Miquel had nothing to do with the Emperor's labor edicts. He himself had modified the original farreaching draft of the decree of the Emperor. He had also suggested the international labor conference, hoping that it would declare against workmen, bat in this hope he was deceived. Nobody ventured to oppose or draw attention, to the danger of the decrees, which were eventually passed without his vote or countersignature. Diseased .Export Cattle. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Ottawa, July 11. Sir Charles Tupper, Canadian commissioner in London,' has notified the Department of Agriculture of the arrival, by the steamer St. Pancrea, at

Liverpool of a shipment of cattle from New York, among which was found one animal allected with pleuro-pneumonia. The con signment of mz head was immediately slaughtered. Tho cattle came mostly from the Western States, and the fact -that pleuro-pneumonia prevails there strengthens the department in refusing to allow the shipment of American cattle from the St. Lawrence without the ninety days' quaran tine. London Postmen. London, July 11. Affairs are becoming more quiet among the letter-carriers and they are performing their duties as usual to-day. A deputation of tho postmen visited Postmaster-general Raikes to-day and submitted to him the claims of tne letter-carriers. The Postmaster-general as sured the members of the deputation that he would consider thexlaims of tho men and if it was found that grievances existed he would seek to rectify them. Rismarck Disapproves. Berlin, July 11. Prince Bismarck, in an interview published by the Frankfort Jour nal, says that he would not have signed the Anglo-German agreement in its present form. The ex-Chancellor holds that Heli goland, whicn the Emperor wished to se cure to Germany, might have been obtained at a less cost. Unless the island is strongly fortified, he says, it might- prove a danger to Germany in the event of war. Horrible Rcyond Words. Dublin, July 11.

License Procured and Afterward Canceled Peculiar Mystery Preserved. x London, July 11. In regard to the rumor about tho Lueville-Leslie marriage, it is certain that on Thursday evening the Marquis De Lueville applied for a special marriage license at the Victoria-street registry office, in which street he had lived for years. He said the case was urgent, and he arranged that the marriage should take place at the registry oilice in the vestry hall of St. George, Hanover square, at 9 o'clock on Saturday morning, as the bride and bridegroom, he said, were leaving for the United States. The license was canceled to-day and the marriase postponed for a few days. The legal form of the application reads: William Ollivier, Marquis De Lueville, fortythree years of age, for several years resident at No. 98 Victoria street. Lueville. The lady is described as 'Frank Leslie, widow, resident of the Grosvenor HoteL" Mrs. Leslie had, in fact, been living at the Burlington Hotel, and was there last Thursday. Her new residence is within three hundred yards of the Marquis's lodgings, while the Burlington is more than a mile away. The greatest secrecy and mystery have been maintained. THE REPUBLICAN OUTLOOK. The Chairman of the Republican Congressional Committee Thinks It Very Favorable. Interview with Hon. James J. Belden. "I believe that the Republicans will hold their own in the next congressional elections, and that the next House oi Representatives will be Republican." This article of faith was enunciated by Representative Belden. The recordof the House, Mr. Belden thinks, Js the thing upon which to go to the country in a congressional campaign. This record, he professes to believe, is a strong one, and the strongest part of it, he says, is the great change in the methods of doing business in the . Houso. He is banking largely on what he claims to be the fact that, owing to the new rules, adopted at the beginning of the session, and tho operation of them under tho speakership of Mr. Reed, the House could adjourn within a week, and show a better output of good legislation than any other House has accomplished in twenty years. The issues upon which the coming campaign will be fought, in Mr. Belden's opinion, will be tho new mode of procedure in the House and the passage of the disability pension bill, the tariff bill, the silver bill and the federal elections bill by the House. "The pension legislation of the House," said Mr. Belden, "has been wise and prudent, as it should be, and deals honestly with the soldiers. iThe general-disability pension bill, passed by tho House, makes present disability, however it originated, title enough to a pension in the case of one who has served his country as a soldier, or in the case of the widow or minor children of an ex-soldier the bill embodies the principle which is represented by the ambulance corps in the army the weak and wounded are to be looked after. It is a good bill, and the passage of it by the House will help the Republicans in the coming campaign. "The Republican party in the House has shown itself to be the conservative party on the silver question, and the action of the Republicans in the House in preventing silver coinage will commend the party to the country and give us a great advantage in that respect. The Democrats, as a party, voted for free coinage, and I think that will hurt them. It is true that the silver bill is not vet out of hand, but the Republicans of the House have taken their posi tion on it So far, they have managed to exclude tho free coinage provision from tho bill, and I tbink tbev will bo able to exclude that feature ultimately. 'By rive months' hard worktheRepublicans of the House produced the best tariff bill it was possible to produce in one session. The difficulties of perfecting a bill are enormous, the work is almost herculean, and while the tariff bill passed by the House may not be in every respect perfect it received more intelligent study and hard work than were ever bestowed unon a bill of that kind. The bill, while reducing the duties, has added to protection. The bulk of business men care more about having the tariff settled in some way, and for having a definite policy established than tbey caro about the rates of duties to be charged or the character of the policy to be pursued. Settlement and certainty aro what they want. Just as the warrior may say: Let us have peace,' tho man of business calls for stability and certainty. I bel;eve the McKinley bill will pass the Senate substantially as it passed the House. But whether that be so or not. it is almost certain to need some Ferfecting legislation in the next Congress, f a Democratic House should succeed the present one no such perfecting legislation could be passed. "The Republican party in the House has taken its stand on the federal election question. The contested election cases in this House and the testimony published and admitted on all sides to be true show that in the sections from which these contests mainly come there was no pretense of honest elections. It is clearly the duty of Congress to make some attempt to put down these admitted frauds. Suppression of votes by fraud or by force should not be permitted by this government. Every man who is entitled under tho Constitution to vote should be protected in that right, even though, as the opponents of the federal election bill aver, it requires bloodshed to do it. Much time and labor were 6pent in the preparation of this federal elections bill, and though there were many difficulties in the way of making a perfect bill, yet the bill passed by the Hause is the best that the best men in the party could evolve. "When we know that a great wrong exists we have no right to stand still and excuse our inaction by the plea that the interference of the government would create disturbance or cause bloodshed. If the trial of this law, after it passes, shows imperfections in it we shall have the experience to improve it in future Congresses. The merit of tho federal elections bill aro never criticised; all the criticism is aimed at the practicability of it. I believe that the slight Republican opposition shown to the bill in the House will not be reflected by the Republican constituencies of the horth. "Ten days ago I did not think this bill would become a law this session, but now I tbink it probably will. In that case it will be tried in the coming elections, and if tho test should develop imperfections in the law we shall endeavor to amend it later on. But the fraud and corruption which result in sending to Congress ten members from Georgia with no more votes than - are cast in my own district in New York will not, I am sure, be allowed bx the American people to continue. "As Chairman of the Republican congressional campaign committee," . said Mr. Belden, "1 propose to do my duty in a legitimate way. Boodle will be no factor in our campaign. This committee will bo neither a purveyor nor a manipulator of money for the purpose of gaining votes. We shall keep posted. as well as possible, in regard to the close districts and the tight that requires to be mado in them, and will do all we can to circulate whatever campaign literature may seem to be most wanted in particular localities. Some money, of course, will be required to meet the expenses of the committee, but we shall strictly, observe the civil-service law in regard to assessment of office-holders, etc. Under this law, as it exist, we can neither assess nor collect, nor even receive if tendered, contributions from any one holding official position. Kven theacccptar.ee of money from a colleague or. associate Congressman is prohibited. I believe that

Ilowells's riay in Ileal Life. Letter in Philadelphia Press. I don't believe there are "twenty-live elevators in all London. Many of the largo hotels, like the temple, expect guests to walk up four stories. On the other hand, in Paris tho elevator is becoming epidemic But such elevators! They are hs'draulio elevators and are run without an elevator boy. As water is dear in Paris, they run at a snail's pace. Sometimes they stand still between two floors and refuse to move for an hour. They were laughing over in the American quarter by the Arch of Triumph to-day, and when I asked them what it was all about, they said: "Why haven't you heard! It's too good. Several American young ladies and their escorts came home from Minister lieid's reception last night, got stuck in the elevator between the third and fourth lloors, and stayed there until daylight. "But why didn't the elevator boy com o to their rescuer' "It was one of those French elevators that the passenger adjusts himself, and they were all ignorant as to how to Btop or go ahead.' Water Snake and Trout. Glastonbury (Conn.) Special. A trout lisbenn&n here saw & bier water snake catch a trout tho other day. The serpent glided through a still reach of meadow water on the stream, a few inches beneath the surface, and sinuously and without making a ripple, darted on the sleeping trout near an overhanging bank of turf. The fish had not time to make a movement before the black serpent caught it by tho tail. Then came the watchful Glastonbury man's chance, lie dipped his trout rod suddenly under the snake and threw both serpent and trout out on the brink of the stream. Thereupon the enraged water snake disgorged the trout, whoso tail was about half way down his throat, and started viciously toward the sportsman with jaws agape. But tho Glastonbury man was ready for he attack with a club he picked up on the bank, and easily dispatched the serpent. The trout was a halfpound fellow, it was the first time in his experience, the fisherman said later, thai ho ever lished for trout with a water snake. The White Furniture Craze. Chicago Herald.
