charged before the conntryj but that was not the case at this day, and an investigation would show it. Mr. Cannon said that his party, while in power, would appropriate money to pay the debts of the government, including this the greatest equity the pension debt. As to the statements mado by the gentleman from Indiana, he had not known until last Friday that Mr. Cooper had introduced the investigation resolution. If he ICannonl had introduced such a resolution and a hearing was in progress he would wait until the hearing was completed. Mr. Cooper. replied that the committee on rules, aftr hearing his statement, had adjourned to meet last Monday. But it did nt met-1 to pursue the inquiry, because the gentleman from Illinois (Cannon and other members had absented themselves. Mr. Cannon said that he had been absent Monday for the iirst time in eighteen years. The gentleman's eagerness would seem to show an anxiety to ligureinthe newspapers. It might be that the administration of the Tension Bureau was corrupt. If so the name o no witness had been mentioned to show it. But he wanted to say, if it bo corxupt let it be shown. From an acquaintance of twenty years with Green B. Ilaum, from his honorable career, the responsible position held, by him for years in the Treasury and his uniform good character; from all these things he would say that if it ehonld be true that in these last days he had fallen under temptation it was a rare case, and. for one. he would not condemn him until the proof was shown. Mr. Knloe asked if Commissioner Raum himself should not join the gentleman from Indiana Cooper in demanding the investigation. Mr. Cannon replied that the House would determine whether there should be an investigation. It was not every accusation by men who were careless or careful of their words, it was not the barkingno, he would not say that it was not the disturbance of the air by every gentleman or individual, that put everybody on the defensive. Mr. McKinley said that owing to serious illness in his family he had not been present at the meeting of the committee on rules to which the gentleman from Indiana iCooper had alluded. So far as any investigation oi General Kaum was concerned, if any gentleman would rise in his place and charge irregularities, or corruption, or dishonesty r or unfair dealing on the Dart of the Commissioner, that would be sullicient reason for him to give his vote for an investigation. If any gentleman on the floor made charges against any executive officer, ho would voto for an investigation. Mr. Rogers of Arkansas asked why it was, this being so, tho committee on rules had not taken action on the resolution for the investigation of federal officers in Oklahoma. Mr. McKinley said he did not know such a resolution was pending. It had never been brought to his attention. Mr. Rogers remarked that when the Oklahoma bill was under discussion the gentleman from Missouri Mr. Mansur had offered a resolution to investigate the land oflice in Guthrie. This resolution had been published throughout the country, and yet the gentleman from Ohio was now informed of it for the iirst time. Mr. McKinley re-

eponaea tnat it naa not Deen canea to nis attention by the chairman of the committee. Mr. Cannon said that while he was ready to vote for every proper investigation, he did not go so f ar as the gentleman from Ohio. A charge on the part of a member of Congress, who frequently did not weigh his words, of maladministration against an executive officer, was not sufficient to authorize the House to order an investigation. It must be a specific charge, for which the Representative made himself responsible. He must state such facts and circumstances as would satisfy tho House that the investigation ought to be mado. .When that was done, he, for one, was ready to do what he could to forward the investigation. Mr. Rogers inquired whether the committee on rules did not keep a record. Mr. Cannon presumed that it kept a journal. Mr. Rogers persisted in his question, whereupon Mr. Cannon declined to be cross-examined. Mr. Rogers disclaimed any desire of embarrassing his friends. Mr. Cannon denied Mr. Rogers's ability to embarrass. Sometimes his friend reminded him of one of Lincoln's stories. Lincoln ' used to say that nis father had had a mule fond of braying and kicking, but he never could tell whether the mule was braying at the kicks or kicking at the brays. Laugh ter. Mr. Cheadle of Indiana contended that the present administration of the Pension Bureau was the best it had ever had since its organization. Mr. Houk of Tennessee of! ere d an amendment providing that the persons employed under this bill shall be apportioned among the congressional districts of the several States and Territories not now having their Quota of employes under existing law. This was ruled out on a point of order. .During a colloquy between Messrs. Can non and Houk concerning the civil-servico law there was considerable warmth of ex pression, and Mr. Houk said that Mr. Cannon had no right to make personal reflec tions. Air. uannon replied: mere is one thing I have no right to do. and that is make a common nuisance oF myself." Mr. Houk retorted: "Then you have done what yon had no right to do. because you have demonstrated now that you are a nuisance." The committee then rose, the bill was passed, and the House adjourned. KILLED FOR RUNNING AWAY. Five Negro Laborers Shot for Leaving a Louisiana Plantation by a Posse of Whites. Merrouge, La., July 15. On Sunday night twenty-fivejlaborers from the planta tions of A. Hefl'ner, near Oak Ridge, More house parish, and whose passage he had paid from North Carolina, quit their homes and commenced, under cover of night, to make their way into Chicot county, Arkan sas. They were pursued by a party of friends of Mr. Heffner, and this morning were found lying in ambnsh in a dense thicket. When notitied by the posse that they were sur rounded by a party of men who would do them no harm, and only asked their return to their homes, they expressed willingness to return, but when tho posso went forward to meet them, tho negroes, led by one bold trouble-maker, opened lire on the posse, and for ono minute did so mo wild shooting. The posse returned the fire, and the result was that rive negroes were killed. The rnnning away from tho men who have brought laborers from ISortn Carolina the past season, their only object being to beat planters out of their passage to Louisiana. has become too common during the past two months. Race Conflict In South Carolina. CHARLESTON, S. C.f July 15. A conflict between whites and blacks is reported to be in progress in Barnwell county. South Carolina. Ke porters have started for the scene of the rumored trouble, which is hot accessible by wire. It is reported in the riot near Kears.

Silver and American Securities Rise in London on Account of the New Law. Organization of Italian Brigands Reaches to America Polemic by Bishop O'Dwjer The Pope's First Gating for. Years. SILVER ABROAD. The Signing of the Dill liaised It to Iti High- . est Price In Tears In London. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London, July 15. Tho signing of the silver bill by President Harrison, although it was looked upon as a foregone conclusion, had a very stimulating eflect upon prices in the Stock Exchange. Bar silver was of course the hrst to feel the influence of the President's confirmation of the silver legislation of Congress, and at once rose to 50 pence an ounce, a selling price it has not attained for several years. American se curities also took on a degree of sympathetic activity, and increased orders to buy were cabled to New York. Tho increase in the price of silver 19 bv no means to be recarded as permanent, however. The prac tical effect of tho new American silver law has been pretty thoroughly discounted, and the opinion is general that the present activity in silver bullion will not continue long, and that the price will gradually recede to a point little if any below the figures which have ruled for the last year. EXTENDS TO AMERICA. Far-Reaching Organization of the Italian Brigands Traitors Safe Nowhere. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London, July 15. it may interest Amer icans to know that, according to the developments of a recent case of brigandage in Italy, Italian brigands aro so thoroughly organized that, should a member of one of the bands prove unfaithful he would be followed to America and put to death. Senor Arrigo who, a short timo ago, was carried olf bv brigands and ransomed for 100,000 francs, states that while under guard in a grotto, he suggested to the brigand left in charge that he would give him much more than his share of the ransom to allow him to escape, and that the brigand could, thereupon, lly to America. The guard replied that he would willingly accept the proposition, only that even in America he would be found and killed. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Bishop O'Dwyer, of Dublin, Resents Mr. Dil lon's Aspersions Against the Papacy., Dublin. July 15. Dr. O'Dwyer, Bishop of Limerick, published yesterday an extraordinary letter, in reply to the criticisms passed upon him by Mr. Dillon, the Parnellite member, in the debate on the salary of Secretary Balfour, last Saturday. The Bishop says he would have passed over Dillon's attack had it not been for the "dirt flung at the successor of St. Peter. Pope Leo XIII." "Even tho admirers of Giordona Bruno did not," he says, "impeach the dope's personal honor." Dr. O'Dwyer quotes a passage in which Dillon describes Balfour and his uncle, Lord Salisbury, as crawling to Home, and asks: "Was ever so reckless and desperate a charge made by any Catholic in the drunkenness of excess comparable to this?" Sneer of a Free-Trade Organ. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London, July 15. The It James Gazette sneers at the peace congress which it re gards as a gathering of fossilized Cfcilauthropists whose ideas are as impracticable as they are obsolete. While Mr-Field and his. fellow-reformers are endeavoring to beat swords into ploughshares it would be well for them to take cognizance of the patent fact that the hostile tariff bill now under consideration' in tho American Con gress typifies a most barbarous form of war, in that it assails not armies but homes.

French Preference Rights In Congo. Paris, July 15. Documents relating to tho Congo State have been issued to the members of the Chamber of Deputies. They include a letter from tho president of the Congo International Association, written in 1884, giving Franco preference rights to buy the territory, and a letter from tho Chief of Foreign Affairs of the Congo State, written in April, 1887, admitting that the Congo State could not be ceded to Belgium without recognition of the preference rights of France. The Czar Iluya an Island. LONDON, July 15. Tho cession of Heligoland to Germany has, it seems, sharpened the appetite of other powers for tho acquisition of outlying islands. Very few people have ever heard of Worms island, in the Baltic, which has belonged for many generations to the Barons of Stackelberg. Russia has long wished to form a coaling station, but its then owner refused an oiler of 1,000,000 sterling. Its present proprietor has just parted with it to the Czar for a little over 1,000,000 francs. Pope's First Outing Since 1871. Rome, July 15. For the first time since 1371 tho Pope was seen outside the Vatican grounds to-day. Pope Leo, in an ordinary carriage, escorted by two of the Guardi Mobile, quitted tho Vatican by tho Fondamcnto gate and drove to the Musie gate, through which ho re-entered the grounds of the palace. The sentries at tho mint presented arms as the Pontiff passed, and the workmen knelt The Heligoland Trannfer. London, July 15. The Heligoland bill passed the third reading in tho House of Lords to-day, with only a verbal amendment Emperor William will make arrangements for the ceremony of the cession of Heligoland during his visit to Queen Victoria. A German council will .be appointed for the island before the next session of the Reichstag. The German government desires to be guided by tho council's views. ' French Demands. Paris, July 15. The Temps says that in return for the British protectorate over Zanzibar France demands that England shall expressly recognize France's right to grant exequaturs to foreign consuls in Madagascar and give France liberty of action in the Niger country; also, France's right to terminate tho Anglo-Tunisian treaty in 18V0, and to deal similarly with the Italian-Tunisian treaty. Fast Traveling In a Balloon. Berlin, July 15. Two Austrian officers who to-day went up in a military balloon, from tho prater in Vienna, were carried to Bruezkow, in tho province of Posen, in Prussia. Thence they were driven by air currents to nouthern Sweden, and finally were carried by other currents back to Prussia. All tho distance of their aerial journey was covered in eleven hours. South American Financial Situation. Buenos Ayres, July 15. The new board of the National Bank satisfies tho commer cial community of Montevideo. In view of the improved situation they have aban doned their intention to renew the conven tion of 1S75 biudiug themselves to receive onlv gold. The closing quotation of the premium on gold in this city yesterday, was Xk? nor ant Electric Cabs. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London, July 15. A system of electric cabs has been introduced in Stuttgart with

a degree of success that promises the permanent relegation of tho cab-horse to other fields of usefulness. The new vehicles are already popular, though at present their novelty has much to do with tho patronage they receive. ' . Stanley's Illness. London, July 15. Mr. Stanley continues ill.

Baron Gravonruth has been temporarily appointed German imperial commissioner in east Africa, in the absence of Baron Wissuiann. The coming encyclical of .the Tope urges nations to resort to papal arbitration for the settlement of social questions and national wars.

The new German territory in east Africa is about the size of Germany, not include ingany part of the great African lakes in the measurement. The British government has decided to adhere to the proposal for a November sitting of Parliament. Tho date of meeting will probably be Nov. 25. The Grand Duchess Xenia, eldest daughter of tho Czar, will marry the Grand Dnke Alexander Michaelovitch, her second cousin. It is a love match. The losses by the great tire of Saturday last in Constantinople amount to 1,000,000. There is an insuraDce of 03,880 in British companies on the property destroyed. '' An American girl, Josephine Neuendorf, who has been studying music in Berlin, committed suicide there yesterday. Her mind is said to have been atl'ected by overstudy.

PANIC AT A FIRE. Women and Girls Injured in Escaping from a Darning Rag House. Cincinnati, July 15. Twenty women and girls, by their screams and gesticulations from tho fourth-story windows of George Duebol's rag warehouse, at No. 20 West Second street, gave the information, just before noon to-day, that the building was on fire. A frightful pauio had seized1 toe women, but with the aid of the neighbors and the use of the lire escape they were all rescued with but trifling injuries.

Sax AXTONiOfJex.. July 15. Tremendous prairie fires haVebeenxaging west of here along the lino of the Southern Pacific railway. They started day before yesterday, and have not yet burned out or been controlled. No rain has fallen for five weeks, and the grass is dry as tinder. Any falling spark is sufficient to ignite it, and the passing locomotives were the cause of .the flames. All the water-courses have dried up, and in plqesjvhcj-e there were once marshes tho vegjtTon burns fiercely. The course of the flames has been westerly, and they have swept ., everything before them. The cattle have been keeping in the hills, where there is some water, and but few of them were lost in tho devastation of the prairies. Other Losses by Fire. Denton, Tex.. July 15.

Imported Italians Assaulted by Strikers Near Snilthton, Fa. Scottdale, Pa.. July 15. Reports from the Smithton rogion are to the ellect that a small riot has occurred there, and there arb indications for a larger riot. Two deputy sherifis are already on the ground protecting the property of the Waverly Coal Company, where tho men have been on strike for over three months. Fifty Italians were imported there yesterday to replace the Waverly strikers. The new men all went to work to-day. This so enraged tho strikers, when tho Italians refused to quit work, that they made an assault. Tho strikers are badly worked up, and bloodshed would cause no surprise. Cloak-Makers Strike Ended.

STANLEY'S RELATIVES DISAPPOINTED.

The Explorer Promised to Leave All His Money to His American Cousin. : Wilkesbarre, July 15. .John R. Jones, a first cousin of Henry M. Stanley, is a resident of this city. He is a small shop-keeper and pretty well to do. Mr. Jones left Wales twenty-eight years ago. Ho and Stanley were playmates. Mr. Jones is now in London, where ho attended tho wedding. Before going to En rope Mr. Jones said: "I never expected that my consin would marry. Before he started on his last African i'ourney I received a touching letter from dm, in which he stated that he was now taking his life in his hands once more and miht never be seen alive atrain." Mrs. Jones to-day said: "His blood relatives in this country, to the number of sixteen, never dreamed, until recently, that he would marry. Even when the engagement was announced in the newspapers we here would not believe it, because when the explorer was in this country on his last lecturing tour he told one of his cousins that he had not as yet seen the woman he loved well enough to mako his wife. 'I will die an old bachelor and make you all rich he said. "Wo really thought Stanley was sincere at the time, and 1 believe he was. but a change evidently came over his heart. To the best of our knowledge Stanlev is worth about $170,000, and will be worth much more before he dies. You can see, then, if Henry had kept his word and died a bachelor, his sixteen relatives in this country would be pretty well fixed for the remainder of their lives. But while some of his relatives may be disappointed we are not. Mr. Jones and I have all the money we wani." . LOST IN THE ARCTIC SEA. Fishing Schooner with a Crew of Sixteen Missing Dory Capsized.

MORE TROUBLE AT NEWFOUNDLAND. Encounter Between a French Fishing Schooner and an English Cruiser. Halifax, July 15. It was rumored here to-day that there had been fresh trouble the . most serious yet reportedbetween the French and English on the Newfoundland coast. It is said the Newfoundland cruiser Fiona, which has been recently put into commission to patrol the coast forth purpose of enforcing the bait act, has hadacontiict with a French fishing brig from St. Malo, France. The story is fb the effect that on Friday the Fioua discovered the Frenchman in North bay, on the south coast, securing bait. Immediatelv on seeing tho Fiona the Frenchman made sail. The cruiser followed, and a lively chase ensued. The Frenchmen refused all signals to lay to, and, as a cosequende, the Fiona tired a shot across her bows. The Frenchmen still paid no attention and finally escaped into Little Miquelou. As this story comes from a French source in St. Pierre Miquelon, it may bo greatly exaggerated, but color is lent to the story by the hurried departure this morning, from here, of H. M. S. Bellerophon, flag-ship of the North American squadron, and two other men-of-war from St. Johns, N. F. MANNERS FOR MALES. A Plea for Mankind's Comfort Legs In Street-Cars Shirt-Sleeves in Public. Pittsburg Dispatch. It is with regret that we observe a disposition on the part of esteemed cotercpoiarieswhoare bent on reforming the manners of the American male, to carry that reform to a degree which would imply either the abolition of necessary parts of the male species or the immolation and uselessness of the business worker. The cultivation of male manners is a useful fnnction, but the length to which some of the apostles of that cult are pushing calls for a warning against cultivating the man out of existence. One example of this sort is furnished by a recent classification of every man who crosses bis legs in a street-car as a specimen of the bipedal American hog. The man who permits that habit to interfere with and annoy his fellow-passengers is doubtless guilty of bad manners; but the wholesale classification of all crossed legs as illustrations of hoggishness is crude and arbitrary. Let us consider the circumstances of the case. Legs are a necessary and useful appurtenance of tho maio of the species. Apart from the legal claim of r&man who has paid his fare to take his legs with him, the arrangements of nature are such that it would be extremely difficult for him to leave them behind, and such a course would be largely destructive of his future utility upon leaving the car. As the 6eats of street cars are universally constructed at a height and angle to suit persons of shorter limbs than the average man, it is plain that the unfortunate male person who travels in street cars must do the best he can with his legs. We plead for a special act in favor of longlegged men. who being equipped with imperfect arrangement for folding up their L'gs like jack-Kuives, often find that .the best disposition they can make of their suSerlluous length is to cross it; and should e permitted to do so without being condemned as of porcine manners. The obvious necessity of a man who is blessed with good walking apparatus to do the best be can with it, permit us to go to thenoxt question of manners which involves the propriety of business men, when encaged in workduring thesummer. taking oil' their coats and hustling in their shirtsleeves. The New York Sun, with that positiveness which is its great strength as an arbiter of manners, declares that the coats must bo kept on, as a matter of decorum and modesty. Wo mnstdoliue to believe that a polite society which accepts the decollete costume as full dress for ladies can be shocked at the clean linen of shirtsleeved business workers, or even the coatless ardor of Bob Ingersoll, or tho Hon. Joseph Henry Walker, of Massachusetts, in political debate. Decorum in costume consists in its fitness to the circumstances, and as society beholds undisturbed tho scant raiment of the male bather, oarsman or tennis-player, it can easily tolerato the much more complete dress of the business man who takes off his coat in order to get through the most business in the shortest given time. liut there are oven more positive arguments for the shirt sleeves. Shirt sleeves are the visible type ot American industry and progpissiveness. Tho wonderful progress of this Nation was accomplished by a race of workers who take oil' their coats when they go to work under a condition of high thermometer. The reason why the great successes of business life are won by country boys who come to the city is because they have been taught those habits of energetic work represented by wearing the white banner of the shirt sleeves and pitching in with all their might. We can assent to restraining the national allegiance to shirt sleeves in respect to abolishing them at tho dinner table; but when it is decreed that Americans shall no longer work in their shirt sleeves, our energy as a race of workers will be deteriorated to the level of the etl'eto aristocracies. 'Manners is manners," says Mr. J. Gargery, "but your 'elth's your ,elth.w This profound social aphorism from a character who possessed a wonderful amount of real good manners, may be applied to tho present topic to show that both legs and shirt sleeves are entitled to the toleration of the professors of manners, under conditions which contribute to the comfort and efficiency of mankind. Hurdette and ills Ways. Boston Transenpt. Once when ho was in a Western city Mr. Burdette was interviewed by an enterprising reporter, who wrote a long and entertaining article out of material gained in a five-minutes' chat. He sent the paper to linrdette, but heard nothing of it for montliMintil the lecturer chanced again to be in his citv for a few hours, when he went to tho hotel to see him. Burdette appeared to him with traveling bag in hand. "Fm just leaving for my train east," said he; Mid you want to interview me!" "Now, don't let any of my actions hinder you, young man," said Burdette; "I've got to catch that train, but that needn't interfere with your interviewing right along hero for twenty-five minutes say, or half an hour. That was a beautiful interview with me you wrote last time I was here. I couldn't add a thing if I should stay right with yon. Go ahead, I trust you. Good-bye. Keraember that! I trust you." And he was gouo. A public reader once wrote to him for information concerning the piece "Too Late for the Train." then quite new. He did not refer her to the book stores, but sent her several printed pages, ragged at what was once the bound-in margin: T take pleasure in tearing up one of my books to send you the piece you ask for' said this philanthropist. To another who wrote to praise him for the verses beginning "Out on the borders of moonshine land' ho wrote three or four pages of grateful acknowledgment admiring the tastojof his correspondent, and saying that ho always thought himself that those were very good verses. He signed his name; then bo added "P. S. I didn't write those verses. They were written by my friend, James Whitcomb Kiley." v Divorce and Its Causes. Philadelphia Press. The only remedy usually proposed is to make divorce harder to get. Yet it is possible that more could be done to diminish divorce by making marriage more happy than by making escape from it more diiticult. Two-thirds ot the divorces are sought by women. At least one-fourth of these divorces are caused by intemperance. Moro than another fourth aro due to tb

Society has long sought to hold the family together by visiting with unsparing condemnation tho loose or intemperate woman. It is lax in requiring of men either temperance or Eunty. Yet these sins of men cause nearly alf our divorces. It is possible, if society began to be as severe on men for these sins as it is on women, the average happiness of marriage would be increased, and with this increase the average percentage of divorces would decrease. m TIlif REVOLT IN SOUTH CAROLINA. Condition of Affairs in the Party That Rrotight Tillman ta the Front. Boston Journal. . , There is nothing in the lejLjt mysterious about the growth of tho uuti-Hourbon movement in South Carolina, under tho leadership of Captain Tillman. For four teen years the Democratic organization in that State has had everything its own way. Ever since the white minority obtained full control of the State 03- force and fraud, in 1S7G, it has kept its power by appeals to race prejudice. If bad nominations were made hy the Democrats, there was no help for the situation; they must be accepted. Any mnrniuriiigs of protest were promptly suppressed by the menace of negro rule. Independence of action was put down as not only treachery to the party, but to the safety and prosperity of tho State. Elections have been a mere form. All contests for ollice have been settled by the committees and conventions of tho Bourbons. Once nominated by the Democrats, a candidate was certain of his election by a majority of overwhelming pro portions. Die condition of things followed which will always fallow wherever freedom of political action is surpressed, and one party is given absolute control. Abuses grew np, which were sheltered by the nbsanceof free criticism. The party managers became arrogant, extravagant aud corrupt. Hence the Tillman revolt, which, after iirst being treated with contempt, aud then watched with apprehension, has now actually disrupted the Democratic party, and bids fair to sweep tho State. Captain Tillman is very far from being the irresponsible demagogue which he ia represented as being by the Bourbon press of the State. He is in the prime of life, and one of the best representatives of the farmers whose causo he is championing against the Bourbon ring. He pays taxes on 1.800 acres of laud, has forty thoroughbred Jersey cows in his dairy, and there is neither lien nor mortgage recoraed against his property. He has the finest vineyard in eastern Carolina. The one issue of his campaign is tb) need of reform in State administration. He is making a tour of tho State, dividing his time with representatives of the regular Democracy, and in all but two of the seventeen counties in which ho has spoken it has been made evident by unmistakable South Carolina demonstrations that the large majority of the people are in sympathy with him and tho farmers1 cause for which he stands. Tho meetings are always disorderly, and often, actually riotous. The utmost bitterness has been aroused and personal assaults aro not infrequent. Yet the contest, so far, has been ccnlined within the party, and the Tillmanites claim to be as good Democrats as their opponents. Intimations, however, have already been heard from the hustings that the negro vote may be appealed to to decide the question at the polls. Should that be done we should have the beginning of the end of the color line in South Carolina. Why It Ia Called the Force Dill, Fire at the "nlgcers." Ostracise white Republicans. Register Democrats only. Count Democratic votes only, Kstlmate" the Republican vote. Bulldoze the minority Inspector. Increase Democratic footings. Lie about the ballot-boxes. Lynch all "nisger" criminals. Acrostic In New York Pftn, .
