He Introduces a Resolution to Limit Debate in the Senate. In the Senate, on the 11th, Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, asked leave to introduce an order, and then had it read from the clerk's de.-k. It provided that during tin* discussion of any iteon in the tariff bill, or amendment thereto, no Senator should speak more than live minutes on the one item without the consent of the Senate. Senator Morgan claimed he yielded the lioor only ior a motion to adjowu. and the Vermont Senator withdrew the order and announced that he would introduce it next day. Senator Edmunds' action was a complete surprise. He has bitterly opposed changiug the rules by adopting the previous question or in any way limiting the debate, but has always said that w’hen the purpose of the minority to filibuster was clearly shown then was the time to apply a remedy for that, particular case. The House jnoceeded to the consideration of the conference report on the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill. After a brief debate, in the course of wldch Mr. Dockery (Mo.) predicted a deficiency of between s2(>.t)(i(i.(W> and $28,000,000 in tiie revenues of the Government during the current fiscal year, the conference report was agreed to and a further conference ordered upon tiie amendments still in dispute.

The Grand Army Encampment Being Held nt the Hub At Boston the Grand Army festivities are now in full swing. The sounds of the tife and drum and the march of soldiers are heard on every hand, and Boston has the appearance of a besieged city. President Harrison and several members of his cabinet are there. When the President arrived he was driv n u> the Hotel Vendome, making at the same time a circuit, of the principal streets for the purpose of seeing the decorations. There lie received the Grand Army officials and then accepted the hospitalities of the State. At the ^’endome a battalion of the First Corps of Cadets was drawn up in waiting, and as the President alighted quickly opened an avenue to the entrance of the hotel, the President mounting the steps arm in arm with Governor Brackett. The Detroit delegation, bearing one hundred red. white, anil blue umbrellas inscribed: “Boston, 18<»o —Detroit. 1891.” made a picturesque appearance. They were accompanied I ■W ; ( ■ Blair, Mayor Pingree of Detroit, and representatives of Detroit papers, rimy want the encampment m xt year and tieCommon Council of Detroit has tendered an invitation to that end. CARDINAL NEWMAN IS DEAD. The Distinguish'd Prelate of the Catholic Church Passes Away. Cardinal Newman, the famous Roman Catholic prelate of England, is dead. He had been in poor health for some time, for several years being unable to occupy his pulpit in the Oratory Church at Birmingham. He was no years old at the time of his death. For many years he was a clergyman of the Established Church of England, but in October. 1845, he seceded from the Established Church, was received into the Roman communion, and was, after being ordained priest, appointed head of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri at Birmingham. In 1854 he was appointed rector of the newly founded Catholic University in Dublin, but resigned that post in 1858, and established a school for the sons of Roman Catholic gentry at Edgbaston, near Birmingham. Dr. Newman was elected an honorary Fellow of Trinity College. Oxford. Dec. 2s. 1877. He was proclaimed Cardinal-Deacon by Pope Leo Nil I, in 1879. A Baby Sues fur $50,000. A most peculiar suit for damages has been brought in the courts of Philadelphia. A baby hardly able to talk sued for 850.000. on the grounds of injuries inflicted before he was born, the Second and Third Street Passenger Railway Company. On Nov. 22, 1887, the, mother, while on one of the company’s cars was injured, by reason of which the baby s spine ami back were injured. Twenty-six People Killed. During a heavy storm that prevailed at Crefeld, Germany, a house containing fifty inhabitants fell to the ground. 'Twenty-six persons wore, killed. Their bodies were taken from the ruins. 'Twenty others, more or less injured, were rescued. Fought a Bloodless Duel. A duel was fought near Paris between two prominent men named De Neufviiie and Borny. Neither was hurt. The seconds were M. Philippe and Duc Dino, who married ’lie daughter of an American millionaire named Stevens. Flint-Glass Works Resume. Nearly all the llint-gia^- houses tn the West have resumed operations after the usual summer shut-down cf six weeks. Tne stopi Ige l;a* resulted in a large reductiun cf stock, and the outlook for a busy season was never Brighter.

CURRENT HAPPENINGS. EASTERN OCCURRENCES. Pasco Guam iei.d, aged 19. and Arthur Grantield, aged lit. brothers, were killed on the Lackawanna at NayAug. Pa. William Kemmlek was put to death by electricity in the State’s prison at Auburn, N. Y. The electric current was first turned on at (5:43 a. m., and allowed to flow during ten seconds. When it was turned off signs of life were still apparent. and the electricity, after some delay, was again turned on. At the expiration of four and a half minutes the man was pronounced dead. The body was somewhat burned at the points of contact.with the electrodes. The man exhibited marvelous courage, conversing rationally and assisting ms executioners so far as lay in his power up to the last moment. The execution is not regarded as a success. Fob some time past trouble has been brewing at the Charlestown (Mass.) State prison, having its origin In the objection of the inmates to the Bertillon system of measurement. About 3o'clock the convicts in the shoe shop refused to obey the orders of their keepers, and, as if by some prearranged signal, all at once set. up a terrific yell, 'and missiles of every description wen* sent flying in all directions. The prisoners made a dash for the yard. Instantly the sentries began tiring, at first t<» frighten the convicts but later to kill. Othm ollicers of the institution were quickly at hand, amt with drawn revolvers soon massed the gang in groups after a hard tight in which clubs were freely used. Many of the convicts' heads were badly crushed. Two hundred policemen soon arrived and after a hard battle the rebellious convicts were locked ixj» iii their cells. Near Erie. Pa., unknown persons placed dynamite bombs on the Luke Shore Road, and information of their discovery, given by two tramps, saved tin' limited express from destruction. The tramps were rewarded by the train men. Warden Di rsion said at \lbany that the killing of Kemmler by electricity was “a great success.” and added that tiie official reports will corroborate his statement. John Boyle oßeiii.y. the wellknown Irish poet, and patriot, ami editor of the Boston Pilot, took an overdose of chloral by mistake. His death followed in a few hours.

Wakkex, of Wyoming, is lying dangerously sick with congestion of the brain. His recovery is doubtful. Political matters are badly complicated by the Governor’s sickness. He would have been the unanimous choice of the State

Without a word of w arning 12.000 Knights of Labor mU‘O •d on tlm New York < ■ ntrai ILii’ruad bet ween NW York and Buffalo went on strike, ami the key-mad of tlm Wmderbilt system was at a standstill. Train* were abandoned at whatever point of the road had been reached at that moment, danger signals flashed their ominous red lights over every mile of the 500 on the line, passengers were left to shift for themselves, freight was left to perish or tempt robbers, ami the great machinery of a vast railroad was left at the mercy of the elements, thieves, ami ruffians. There was one exception. The great army of strikers, strong iu numbers, hmked by the sympathy of thousands of their bn :hrm. reliant on the pecuniary * ippurt of a monster organization. feared tiie strong arm and the wrath of the United States Government. Tlm fast mail trains were allowed to run iHiobstrucied. manned by actual strikers. The strike was ordered because the management had discharged a number of Knights of Labor, as it. was claimed, without just cause. The men also demand better wages. FOREIGN GOSSIP. A train loaded almost wholly with immigrants was derailed and thrown down a steep embankment near Pilsen in Hungary. The fireman ami several passengers were killed and nearly eighty persons injured. The most strenuous measures arc being taken to prevent the sjiread of cholera. A military cordon lias been established around the city of Lisbon. At Mecca there have been hundreds of deaths from the disease. Shipping firms say that tlm port of London had been greatly injured by the recent strikes, that the tendency of the ocean carriage is toward Liverpool, and that steamers which would be discharged and loaded in eight days before the strike have occupied twelve days since that event. It is claimed that tlm dock laborers purposely delay work in order to get extra pay’ for after hours. Eyraud, the murderer of Notary Gouffe, made an attempt to kill himself in Paris. The warders of the prison

were attracted by moans issuing from Ey rami’* cell, and on entering they found the juisoner half strangled. He had torn his shirt into strips, twisted them together to form a roj>e, and with it had attempled to choke himself to death.

CHICAGO IN THE LINKS. GREAT ARMY OF PATRIARCHS CAPTURE THE CITY. Members of tbe Order from All Over tho Country Participate in the Grand Cantonment Drills, I‘arades, and Other Ex- i orrises Occupy the Dillerei't Days of the ; Week. [Chicago telegram.l Tho freedom of the city is presented to tho great army of Odd Fellows that, is now marching into it with banners waving and bands playing. Chicago surrenders to them. । 'Dio people know that, they have nothing to I fear from this invasion. They have pre- I pared >1 reception and they extend a welcome. On public and private buildings are symbols of hospitality. Although tlm Independent Order of Odd Fellows originated in England, It has attained its great prominence In this country. It is the most popular of all our secret societies. It is in full sympathy with our institutions. Its growth lias been remarkable. A town is no sooner started in a Territory tlum an Odd Fellows’ hall is erected. There will always be members enough among the settlers to const Unto a lodge. This exerts a civilizing influence that is felt beyond Its members. I Its ritual is relining.

Many • f the best presiding officers in both bun*' * of Congress and In all our State legislatures have admitted that they acquired their knowledge of how to conduct the pro- • din.- •of deliberate bodies while serving In an (>dd Fellows' lodge. The L.il.c Park has been turned over to the odd Fellows during their stay. It will next be used by tho t tanagers of tho great Columbian Fair. It 1- to be hoped that tho present tenants, who a-e from almost every State and Territory and the various province* of Canada, will be so well pleased with the place that they will give a good a • count of It when they return to their | h. i *, and that they will all Come back in | 1893 and go Into camp again.

On tho streets men in uniform or men and women wearing Odd Fellow badge* w re so numerous as to form a large part of tho throngs that crowded tl<e downtown district. Odd Fellows are here from . vi ry part of tbe Union and from Canada. Lieutenant General Underwood, the Grand Sire <>f the order and the Commander of the Patriarch* Militant, has imparted much of his own enthusiasm to tho order, and as a result this will be one of tho largest gathering* of any secret order ever held. He has sent out over half a million letters and circulars relative to tho cantonment, and has otherwise advertised it in away to make Barnum look to his laurels. This gathering has no legislative powers or functions. It is one purely for display and to get representatives and members of the order together that they may see how big an organization they are. Drills, parades and contests of merits with adjuncts of a similar character uro tho principal things on the programme. The contests in the civil branches of the order began early yesterday and will continue throughout the week. Hoisting tho Flags. Tho lake front all day was a continual scene of anircation. At no time were there less than several thousand people on the ground. The magnificent view of tho lake afforded from the grand stand, as well as a desire to see the drill and parade grounds, brought visiting Odd Fellows and their friends there throughout the day. The exercises on the lake front were the hoisting of the national, Canadian, and militant z 7 & I THEODORE A. ROSS. flags. The significance of this ceremony was that it was the official signal that the cantonment had begun. Each of the flags was raised on a separate staff. A crowd that »6&?ly filled the grand stand was present to witness the ceremony. Gen. A. C. Cable, of Covington, Ohio, raised the stars and stripes. The Canadian flag was raised by Col. A. H. Kavanagh, of Lynn. Mass., and Capt. T. Steers, of Chicago, while the militant flag went aloft raised by Gen. S. H.

Kelsey, of Atchison, Kan. It was the Intention to raise all three flags at the same Instant, and tho signal for that purpose was given by Gen. Underwood. But Gen. Cable was determined that the stars and strines -s- I.^ francibco Blais. should go up first, and, as he had hold oi the n-pe. they did. Preceding and following the flag-raising a military baud played a number of national airs. tionnral I inter wood’s Big Job. A few years ago the importance and magnitude of the Odd Fellows’ order were not adequately appreciated. Not many men outside of the organization had any conception of the fact that it was and is tho largest civic order on the globe. Tiie grand army of 1.400.009 members, while distributed throughout the length and breadth of this continent and the British Isles, never made their aggregate strength known to outsiders, and the order, while yielding potent sway over the minds of the brethren and erercis Ing great influence in all matters In an unseen and unfelt way, received no credit '9 It by tho world at largo. These facts 1 ! long lain dormant in many Odd Fell - minds, but It was General John C. V ,«r. w(Mid, tho present Grand Siro of i'-, whole order and the Generalissimo of Its magnificent military branch, who changed the aspect of ass airs. He it was who, six years ago, organized the lx»dy of militant patriarchs, and it is chiefly duo to His unceasing labors and to h iindefatigable zeal that this youngest limb on the mighty tree of Odd Fellowship has developed so famously, has grown and flourished, until now it alone presents a strength numerically greater than that of many entire national organizations of a secret nature. He has brought about the D. C. ROnt.lT. W. H.

The preparations for tho holding of the present conclave began six months ago. By his own persistent and entirely unaided efforts General Underwood t—ga-n as aUrst preliminary negotiations with the various railroad companies whose lines point to Chicago as their center. These negotiations were so eminently successful that a saving of from $50,000 to 875,000 was effected in rebates and reduced rates for members of tho order now in town or hastening hither on wings of steam. The General’s efforts, In fact, were phenomenally effective. This is best seen by tho fact that he obtained special twites so advantageous that they are probably the lowest over granted by large rafilrouds. From Boston and return tho fare was reduced to sl3—about one-third tho regular fare, and for return t kefs from New York and all other points along the Atlantic seaboard tho rate is only $lO. These prices, of course, only hold good for organized bodies of Odd Fellows, but even for individual tickets an allowance so large was obtained that the fare was reduced to an average of less than one-half. Having thus fully covered the preliminaries. General Underwood came from‘his Kentucky home to Chicago and went Into permanent headquarters on tho ninth floor of tho Pullman Building. That was two months ago, and from that time on he has worked and slaved all through the terribly GERTBVDE A. SCHWARZ, NOBLE GRAND OF FLOEX LODGE, OBDEE OF BEBEKAH. trying heat of the summer organizing the other work that yet remained to be done before the mammoth cantonment could become a success. A Man Who Has the Grip, Adjutant General Frost Is one of the most attractive figures at the cantonment, and of course he U one of the busiest and most important officers. General Frost Is a Massachusetts man, but has not resided there for years, as he has since 1885 devoted all his time to the work of the PatriarchsMilitant, which order he assisted in founding. ‘•M'o began in Baltimore,” he said, j “with thirty swords, and now we have I twenty brigades, sixty regiments and j five hundred cantons.” General Frost is a most enthusiastic Patriarch, and in his elaborate militant. uniform Is decidedly picturesque. Though not u tall man his cocked bat with its waving plumes makes him appear so. He has a military carriage which is borne out by a brusque, commanding voice, and he utters his commands to the thousands in a true military air. At an earlier period the General has had black hair and a large black mustache, but these have changed from black to gray, and tho mustache is almost white. He is well qualified for the position he holds In the patriarchs. He was in the war from start to finish, and carried from the second Bull Run field a broken jaw. He' has been in active military life since 1859, and yet the General is a young man in appearance. ______ Labor conquers all things, even the man who tries to do it.
