It Did Not Appear In the Congressional Record, and Will He llevlsed Ilefore It Does. Washington, Sept 4. Muclrindignation arises among Republican Senators over Representative Kennedy's attack on the Senate as a whole and Senator Quay in particular, late yesterday afternoon. Several consultations have been held, bnt no plan of action has been agreed upon. A prominent Senator, familiar with parliamentary precedents and practices, when asked what would be the proper course to be pursued, if it were decided to do anything, said that, if after a time, the House took no action, the Senate should pass a resolution, courteous in tonecalling the attention of the House to the unparliamentary proceeding, and then leave it to deatwith the question as it saw fit. But this action would depend on the manner in which the knowledge of delivery of the speech reached the Senate. Mr. Kennedy's remarks do not appear In to-day's Congressional Record, the reporter noting that they "are withheld for revision." Unless they come before the Senate in the Record, or some other authoritative way, it in ay be that nothing will be done. Senator Quay knew nothing of tho delivery of the speech until this morning, and aftfcr his arrival at the Senate he conferred with several of his colleagues, spending considerable time with Senator In galls, lie said to a reporter that he had not determined what course of action to pnrsue. lie had under consideration the making of a statement under the rule governing questions of personal privilege, but he was not fu 11 v decided what to do. The Republican Congressmen from Pennsylvania to-day prepared a resolution instructing the Public Printer to refrain from publishing Mr. Kennedy's speech in' the Record, as it constituted a breach of decorum and of the rules of the House. The resolution was intrusted to Representative Dalzell for presentation in the House, but Ijeforo that could be done Representative JJurrows, 'who is Speaker pro tern., was consulted. By his advice representations were made to Mr. Kennedy which induced him to withhold his6peoch from the printer for a day or two, and consequently the resolution was likewise withheld. Mr. Burrows, who was in the chair when the speech was delivered, was the subject of criticism at tho hands of some members because of his failure to check the speaker: but he justified himself by thi statement that it had been the invariable enstom of the presiding officer to refrain from passing judgment upon the utterances of a member until some member calls bis attention to an alleged breach of tho rules. Mr. Kennedy this afternoon said he did not beliovo that he said anything that actually constituted a violation of the rules or of the proprieties. He added that lie had not yet had an opportunity to revise his speech. Until he had had that opportunity it won'd bo withheld from the , Record, but no longer. Meanwhile the impression is on the lioor of the House that the objectionable features of the speech, if there were any in a. parliamentary sense, will be eliminated before it is published, and that the matter will there end. coorEirs wild charges. Summoned to Produce His Evidence and Witnesses Before the Itaam Committee. Washington, Sept. 4. The special House committee investigating the chaVge9 against Pension Commissioner Raum met promptly at 10 o'clock this morning and sat for half an hour awaiting the presence of Mr. Cooper. Mr. Lewis, the only Democratic member of the committee in attendance, said that Mr. Cooper would not be present, and as Mr. Goodnight, his colleague, was not in Washington, he was in an embarrassing position, and would like the committee to adjourn until Mr. Goodnight returned. The committee showed some impatience at the failure of Mr. Cooper to be present, and, after some discussion. Judge Wilson, peaking for his client, Mr. Lemon, said that he did not care to proceed in Mr. Cooper's absence. Mr. Cooper, he said, had been industriously circulating charges against his client in the newspapers, while refusing to attempt to sustain them before the committee. Now lie wanted the committee to subpoena Mr. Cooper, so that he could be put upon the stand to tell what he knew. The committee wanted him present, and he Wilson) wanted him as a witness, and that was the way to get him here. Mr. Cooper had no right to traduce a reputable man, occupying the relations he did to tho committee, and to stay away from the committee session and allow those things to be circulated all over the world. Finally, an order was made for a subpoena for Mr. Cooper, and also requesting him to be present with his witnesses and evidence next Monday, to which day tho committee , adjourned. m MINOR MATTERS. Conditions on Which the Order to Remove Cattle from the Strip May lie Extended. . Washington. Sept. 4. Maj. Calvin Hood, of Emporia, Kan., has been in Washington several days, in tho interest of the cattlemen of the West, asking the President that the time of removal of cattle from the Indian Territory be extended to Dec. 1, as, owing to the arought in the Territory and throughout the West, cattle are unfit for market, and that it would be disastrous to all cattle interests to enforce the order of removal of cattle from the Strip by Oct. 1. 'Ihe President has to-day assured him that if there shall be presented to him a written guarantee, signed by tho persons having cattlo upon the Cherokee Strip, that they will remove one-half of them on or before tho 1st day of November, lS'JO, and the remaining half of tho cattle, together with their employes and property that may be thereon, and entirety abandon all claims upon the Strip by the 1st of December, 1S0O, then, and in view of such guarantee, the order of removal will be so modified. Warning: to Writers for "Green Goods." Washington. Sept 4. It recently came to the knowledge of Maj. E. G. Rathbone, chief postothco inspector, that one J. J. S. Nicholson, of Lewiston, Talbot county, Maryland, was in correspondence with green-goods" men in New Jersey, and he ordered an investigation, which resulted in the arrest of Nicholson, who was to-day arraigned before United States Commissioner Rogers at Baltimore and held in $1,500 bail. This is tho first arrest of any one who has merely written for the so-called "green goods," and tho result is awaited with interest. Under the law passed by Congress March it was made a penal otiense lor any one to mail a letter ordering "green good." and this arrest of Nicholson is the lirst in pursuance of the act. Kansas Hot Winds to lie Investigated. Washington, Sept. 4. Some time ago Senator Plumb brought to the attention of the Signal-service Bureau tho phenomenon of the hot winds that occasionally sweep over Kansas, destroying or damaging the vegetation.

Reported Accident on the New York Central Caused by Obstructions on the Track. Utica, N. Y Sept 5. The railroad operator at Albany says that a pile of iron was placed on tho tracks and wrecked the Niagara Falls express due in Utica at 2:10 a. M. It is feared several are injured. Alijany.N. Y.t Sept 5. Train No. 13, tho Adirondack, Montreal and Niagara Falls express, was wrecked three miles north of Castleton. Four men and a woman are reported killed, but this is not confirmed. It is reported rails or ties wero fastened on the track. Details are not obtainable at present News of the wreck was brought to East Albany by a farmer, who drove in. Tho train consisted mostly of sleepers. A dispatch from Poughkeepsie, at 3 a. m.. says the second section oi me train was thrown from the track .and several cars wrecked, but it is learned that no one was killed. Several persons, however, rereived quite serious injuries. A mass of iron had been placed on the track. Further particulars from the wreck are as yet unobtainable. A train witn physicians and Superintendent Bisseil has left for the scene, which is about eight or ten miles from Albany. They will probably not return until daylight Superintendent Bisseil said to-night that an attempt to wreck a portion of a freight train was made this afternoon at the Van Woert-street crossing, in this city. As the train was proceeding west at that point somebody, he said, succeeded in parting the couplings of the second rear car from the rest of the train. The two cars thus sep arated gained speed as they followed down the hill at this point As they passed through the upper part of the yard a yard brakeman observed them and succeeded in boarding them as they rolled on the upper railroad bridge, and stopped them within a hundred feet of tho open draw. The draw had been opened to allow the passage of one of the Troy boats, which was just passing through as the cars were brought to a standstill. Had the runaways continued on they would have plunged down on the vessel, which was freighted with human lives. Superintendent Bisseil savs the company has as yet obtained no clew1 to the party who parted the coupling. HUNTING A TRAIN-ROBBER. Northern Floridia Oat En Masse in Search of Eube Barrows, the Noted Bandit Pensacola, Fla., Sept 4. The Flomaton train robbery has produced intense excitement here. Rube Burro ny 8 was reported to have been seen at. Milton, twenty miles east of this place, yesterday, and at 2 o'clock a special train, with Superintendent Fischer, Route Agent Arnold, several express company detectives and a posse of deputy she rifts from Alabama under Sheriff McMilan, passed through this city for Milton. Deputy Sheriff Tom Cussachs, of this county. joined the party here with a posse of six men. Patrolman Wilson, ot the police force of this city, with a posse of six men, left here yesterday, and is coming down Escambia river from Bluft Springs in a boat, and several parties, with bloodhounds, are scouring the country from the scene of the robbery down the river to the swamp. Detectives and deputy sheriffs passed through the city to-day with their bloodhounds, and if Kubo Burrows is in Florida it is thought ho will be captured by to-morrow night. It is certain beyond any possible doubt now that it was he who committed the robbery, assisted, it is thought, by a noted desperado of Santa ltosa county, Burrell Martin. EFFECT OF CREDITS OX PRICES. Edward Atkinson Discusses the Question Before the Bankers Convention. . Saratoga, Sept 4. At to-day's session of the American Bankers' Association Edward Atkinson, of Boston, addressed the association on the topio "Credit, as Affecting Price9.w Hon. Wm. L. Trenholm, ex-Ccmp-troller of the Currency, followed with an address on "The Bonds of Bank Officers and Employes." Hon. J. L. Torrey, of St Louis, expounded the national bankrupt law, and Hon. Benjamin Wright read a paper on "Banking on the Pacific Coast" The conclusion reached by Mr. Atkinson in his paper was in these words: "Credit is the prime factor in making prices. An inflation of credit roiy occur, such as many of us have witnessed many times, and will produce a panic. That panic is a rough process of cure or adjustment to normal conditions. During this intlation of credit an inflation of prices will make the few rich at the cost of the many. Those who are shrewd enough to get out at the right time will grow rich: those, who are not will become bankrupt; but the great body of consumers will pay both the profit of the few and the loss of the bankrupt On the other hand, an inflation of currency, or a .great creation of cheap or fiat monej jjy statute, forced into circulation by 'an act of legal tender or a coinage act which forces a f:reat quantity of token currency made of ow-pneed silver into service; or an issue of such an excess of government notes as to impair their credit, will neither inflate prices nor raise wages; on the contrary, by impairing credit such acts will lower prices, depress wages, increase tho amount of compulsory idleness, and by their bad effect will ultimately work their own repeal. The following officers were elected: President, Morton McMichael, Philadelphia; chairman of tho executive council, John Jay Knox, of New York; treasurer, George F. Baker, of New York; secretary, Wm. B. '.Greene, of Now Yark. Tho last three were re-elected. Mr. Torrey is the author of the .bankruptcy bill which has passed the House of representatives and is now pending in the Senate.

The Trades-union Congress to-day voted in favor of having the working day of eight hours made compulsory by Parliament An amendment to the effect that the eight-hour day ought to be voluntary, and bo secured by such trades as desired it, was' rejected. Mr. Abraham, member of Parliament, said that if the present Parliament would not make the adoption of tho eight-hour system compulsory, the workingmen, bytthe uso of tho franchise, could get a House that would give them what they wanted. Mr. Charles Penewicke, also a member of Parliament, urged that to make the eight-hour day compulsory would be an economic error, and he warned the congress that such a measure would prove oppressive .to the workmen and injurious to trade, and would sap the strength of the trades-union. Mr. Tillot ridiculed the notion that a legal day of eight hours would weaken the unions. On the contrary, he said, it would strengthen the position of the laborers and consolidate workers throughout the country. , ' jr ; Mr. Burns held that Parliament must bo' used to obtain the eight-hour day. In several parts ot tho country after men had obtained the adoption of the eight-hour plan the capitalist forces had driven them back again to the twelve-hour system. The lost ground could only be recovered by a general strike unless Parliament interfered. , The vote on the question of making tho. eight-hour day compulsory stood 181 to 173, . and the announcemeut of the result was followed by prolonged cheers. , r-u ti AMENDS FOR AN INSULT. ! now Minister Mizner Compelled the Salvadorians to SaluteN Our Flag.

The Marquis De Leuville, who gained considerable notoriety as the self-proclaimed betrothed of Mrs. Frank Leslie, has gone to Franco to fight a duel with one M. De Bisson, a correspondent of Gil Bias, who has been saying unpleasant things about the Marquis. The Marquis insisted, Tuesday, that the man he was about to make a target of was a low, insolent fellow. .He was not satisfied with, assailing him (the Marquis), but foully libeled his mother and his family. He attacked the young nobleman about his morals, his penury, his associations with sports of tho prizeringand women of questionable repute, who were married to respectable menon whom he levied a tax, extorting hush money.

newspaper, thet Moritz Post, Mr. Stanley refuted the various charges which Emin Pasha has made against him. He declared that a letter from Wissmann, which was received when Stanley and Emin were nine days from the coast, first upset Emin's gratitude toward and admiration for the English and made him weigh his chances on each side.

MAIL GLEEK MASSE BOBBED. A Desperate ftegro Boards His Car and Demands the Redstered-Letter Pouch.? It Is Given Him Under Threats of Beine Shot, bat Is Afterward Found on the Platform of the Car. The Big Fonr train due hero at 10:50 o'clock last night was delayed an hour by a robbery near Anderson. According to tho story, as it reached this city,' the train had just left Anderson and was fairly under way when C. M. Masse, the postal clerk, was confronted by a negro with the order to deliver up his registered letter pouch. Ho did so at the muzzle of a revolver, and the negro, grabbing a single mail pouch, pprang from the . car through a side door. Masse pulled the bell cord and gave the alarm. Upon backing up to Pendleton both pouches were found nnopened anil a set of burglars tools. The car in which Masse was working was what is known as a combination car, composed of three sections mail, express and baggage and it is difficult to understand; the railroad men say, how the negro could have entered without arousing the attention of the train hands. It is thought tho robber got on the platform of the car at Anderson to steal a ride, and rode there until he found an opportunity to enter. Mr. Masse told a Journal reporter, after his arrival in this city, that the tirst he knew of tho presence of a stranger in the car was on hearing some one say: "Hold up your hands." He turned and saw a ye low-complexioned negro standing at his back with a cocked revolver at his head. At the third repetition of the command he did as ordered. "Hand over the register pouch," demanded the rob her. "I have none on the car," said Masse. The denial was not accepted, and a second demand was so peremptory that M.isse could do no less than point to one of the two pouches which he thought contained the least. The robber turned and picked it up, after satisfying himself that his captive had no weapon. He then coolly ordered Masse to hold up bis hands to be tied with a rope. "For God's sake," said the frightened clerk, "don't tie my hands don't you see all tho work I have to do?" "Well, go on with your work." the negro then said, and Masse proceeded to distribute the mail, though very nervous. 'I once thought I would try to talk him out of it," said the clerk to tho reporter, "but he soon made me shut up. I busied myself as best I could, trying to appear indifferent, and on nearmg Pendleton I felt the train slacking up. I looked around and found the negro gone, and I then supposed he had pulled the rope, as it is not customary to stop at Pendleton. When tho train started again, I pulled the ropes myself and stopped it, and called to the trainmen that I had been robbed. To our surprise, we found the pouch and a calico bag, which the robber had dropped on the platform of the car. He had evidently become frightened and forsaken his job." The calico bag was found to contain a long double rope, twisted, an iron gag, , and a pair of heavy leather, shoes with rubber soles .attached to them. The register pouch was not opened' and the four packages were safe. It was an Indianapolis pouch, the contents of which in money value are not known. The robber was evidently a novice in the role, . - m s - Sir. Clarkson's Work. Philadelphia Press. Mr. Clarkson's work all tho way through was well considered. It was not a heedless and restless anxiety, strong and aggressive party man as he is, to merely restore Republicans to office. It was a part of the policy to restore the efficiency of tho service, and a considerable part of .bis work was to put back tho experienced and competent men deposed by tho Cleveland administration. That action will need no defense, becauso it cannot becriticisedby any whose criticism is worth anything for fairness. The partisan attacks of the, Democratic press will not be displeasing to Mr. Clarkson; he knows that to be a part of the reward of every faithful official under a Republican administration, and his record is without a stain. It is not likely that Mr. Clarkson's retirement from public lile will be more than temporary, and he will continue to be a wise, broad-minded and safe Republican leader, whether in pnblio ofiice in Washington or in the editorial office of his newspaper in Iowa. He has the full confidence and respect of the Republican party, with an honest past and abundant promise of a brilliant future. Why the South Favors Free Trade. Iowa Register.
