of Legislation.
MR. REED'S PREDICTION
vailed on congress to enact the most Im- i
! portant measure for their protection since 1
j the oleomargarine law, the "filled cheese" i
I lull, which regulates the manufacture an I i
| sal-' of adulterated cheese and imposes |
iieav> penalties for deceptions.
Some of the most important bills pre- j
pan d b\ the committee were not given a
j hearing in either house or passed hut one J
house, and will be on the calendar for con- |
sideration during the short session if their :
support". rs are able to secure time lor them.
Among the most important of these are:
The Lodge-McCall bill for an educational
test for immigrants, with the Corbss |
amendment to prevent the invasion of Can-
adian day laborers; the Phillips industrial i
commission bill: the Curtis bill to lessen j
the number of crimes for which the death >
penalty can be imposed by the I'nited [
States courts; the bankruptcy bill and the
1'ickler pension bill, all of which were
passed by the house. The old anti-option
bill was killed by the house and will not
appear this congress.
A large fraction of the session's business
related to the public land laws. Foremost
among these was Delegate Flynn's "free
home" bill.
A second important measure was that
which extended for live years from the

French spoliations and the store and sup-
ply claims allowed under the Bowman act
omitted. Senator Harris makes no secret
of his intention to demand the restoration
of these items to the bill and says he will
not consent to its passage without them
except an an aye and nay vote. If he
insists upon this a voting quorum will be
necessary.
Several senators have announced their pur-
pose of leaving' the city early in the week,
and man) otiters wil] depart about the mid-
dle I.f the week for St. Louis. Under these
circumstances, it is possible that adjourn-
ment may be postponed until after the
republican convention, although there
would be a very general effort to prevent
this.
The other appropriation bills which have
not been finally disposed of are the Indian,
the District of Columbia, sundry civil, naval
and sundry postoftlce.

Washington, June 7.—The house managers
have parliamentary machinery in operation
which will enable them to secure prompt
action on every proposition submitted by
the conference on the five remaining ap-

fourth congre:
June 7.—Tf, as now looks
first session of the Fifty-
;s adjourns this week, it will
be the shortest so-called long session since
that of the Thirty-fifth anil one of the
shortest in tin* history of the government.
This record is probably partly due to the
political differences between the senate,
house and president, which have forestalled
agreement on lines of legislation and part-
ly to the determination with which the re-
publican leaders in the house have carried
into effect Speaker Heed's caucus predic-
tion that the congress would be a do-noth-
ing assemblage. Legislation means appro-
priations, the house leaders have said, and
their opinion was that the treasury's condi-
tion warranted no appropriations except
the most imperative. They had the doors
tightly shut against class bills, which usu-
ally receive hearings.
Foremost among the inevitable and regu-
lar acts of congress are the annual appro-
priation bills for the support of the gov-
ernment. Their preparation has constituted
a large part of the work of the session, and
five of them are yet hanging between the
house and the senate with some of their
details unsettled. For this reason it is
impossible to give the exact totals of the
bills or the grand total of appropriations
made by this congress which aggregate
about half a billion dollars, but the dis-
bursements authorized during the session
will be discussed hereafter by the chair-
man, Mr. Cannon of the appropriations
committee, and ex-Chairman Savers, from
the points of view of their respective
parties.
In the sundry civil bill the most import-
ant legislation is to make effective the
Casey land action, which has ceded arid
lands to the public for reclamation by au-
thorizing the states to give liens on the
lands to cover the expenses of reclama-
tion.
The most noteworthy legislation pertain-
ing to the navy is contained in the ap-
propriation bill. The bill provided for fif-
teen new torpedo boats and four battleships
and reduced the number of ships to two,
and a conference is pending over that dif-
ference. That made provision for the en-
listment for 1000 additional seamen. It made
unlawful employment of naval or marine
officers on the active retired lists by parties
furnishing supplies or materials of war to
the government. A special resolution au-
thorized the acceptance by the government
of the ram Kahtahdin, which failed to
make the speed requirements of the con-
tract, but which satisfied the department,
being an experimental craft. The naval re-
serve system was strengthened by a plan
designed to draft vessels engaged in the
coastwise trade into the service in time of
war. An act was passed to establish a
naval training station on Verba Buena (or
Goat island) in San Francisco harbor. The
secretary was empowered to accept certi-
fied checks in lieu of bonds from contract-
ors for naval supplies.
No special legislation was contained in
the army appropriation bill. Special bills
were passed, however, creating the posi-
tions of chaplain (who will also'he professor
of history, geography and ethics.) and an
assistant professor of the same branches
at West Point academy, making the na-
tional military parks fields for maneuvers
for the militia, and a resolution appointing
General J. B. Franklin of Connecticut, .J.
T. Henderson, representative of Indiana,
members of the board of managers for the
National soldiers' home.
Of tariff and financial legislation this
congress, as was said, has accomplished
none. With a safe margin of free silver
votes in the senate and a majority of near-
ly two to one against silver in the house
it was evident from the beginning that no
general policy could be agreed upon. The
two bills framed by the house ways and
means committee and bearing *.!:•• name
of their author, Mr. Dingley of Maine, one
a bill for the issue of a short term popular
loan and of cerui.cates of indebtedness,
the other to increase the rates of tariff
schedules in manufactures of wool and
other articles, were killed in the senate by
the determination to substitute therefor sil-
\er coinage measures.
On the other hand the senate resolution
to prohibit the issue of bonds without au-
thority of congress, one of the last import-
ant acts of the senate, was reported ad-
versely by the house ways and means com-
mittee. The only way one of the many
proposed changes in the tariff laws which*
became an actuality was the repeal of the
clause of the Wilson act giving free alco-
hol in the arts and manufactures. This re-
peal met so much antagonism from mem-
bers representing manufacturing interests
that it could be only effected by coupling
with it a scheme devised by Senator Piatt
and Wm. E. Russell for a congressional
committee to recommend legislation at the
beginning of the next session by which free
alcohol can be secured under sufficient,
safeguard for the government's interest.
The policy of reciprocity was thoroughly
investigated by a sub-committee of the
ways and means committee at the instiga-
tion of Messrs. Tawney and Hopkins, but
it was thought inadvisable by the repub-
lican leaders to attempt legislation on that
single feature of the tariff system so long-
as an agricultural revision was out of the
question.
Although the house committee on bank-
ing and currency devoted much time to a
discussion of financial questions, it was
able to agree on but two bills—one to per-
mit banks to issue circulation to the
amount of par value of the bonds deposited
by them as security, the other for the or-
ganization of national banks in the smaller
towns, neither of which was passed this
session.
The only important bill recommended bv
the house committee on coinage, that for
the adoption of the metric svstem of
weights and measures, nt the beginning of
the next century, met with a temporary re-
buff in the house, but will be brought for-
ward again.
While foreign affairs divided with
finances the interest of congress, compara-
tively little legislation resulted from the
discussions, because so great a share of Hie
conduct of foreign relations rest witli the
executive branch. The first public resolu-
tion adopted by congress, and that after
one hour's debate in the house and a few
days in the senate, was that authorizing
the president to create the commission to
Investigate the Venezuela-British Guiana
boundary line. The debate over Cuban af-
fairs resulted in the adoption of a concur-
rent resolution expressing the sympathy of
this government with the insurgents, call-
ing upon the president to accord them bel-
ligerent rights and to offer the friendly of-
fices of the United States to Spain to bring
the war to an end. Resolutions were
adopted by both branches of congress de-
nouncing the massacres of Armenians in
Turkey and calling upon the signatory
powers to the Berlin treaty to protect the
Armenian Christians. Seventy-live thou-
' sand dollars was paid for carrying out the
(stipulation of the Bering sea seal fisheries
treaty with Great Britain. Another resolu-
tion passed was to defray the expenses of
negotiating a convention to locate the
boundary line between Alaska and British
America. One incident of the excitement
which attended the crisis of the Venezuelan
boundary dispute was the quick adoption
by both the senate and house of the whole
affair.
An emergency act was that authorizing
the secretary of war to lend tents to the
-Cyclone sufferers at St. Louis.
The dairy interests of the country pre*
road grants, but confirmed the titles to all
such lands held by bona fide purchasers.
Acts were also passed permitting timber

voirs and canals.
Another important law enacted late In
the session was that for the relief of the
settlers on Northern Pacific Indemnity
lands.
Among the miscellaneous acts passed
during the session were: For the deporta-
tion of refugee Canadian Creek Indians
from Montana: to establish the government
of Greer county as a county of Oklahoma;
forbidding divorces in territories unless
parties applying have been residents for
one year before the application; making
unexplained absence for seven years pre-
sumption of death tor pension claims; fix-
ing penalties for failure to use automatic
brakes on railroad trains.
Many rights of way to railroads through
the Indian territory were granted and a
large number of bridge bills were passed.
la the Shadow of Adjournment.
Washington, June 6.—The congressional
situation to-night indicates ability to ad-
journ by Tuesday, although any determined
opposition In the senate to the action of
the house on appropriation bills may post-
pone the adjournment several days. At the
close of the session to-day there were but
forty-six senators present, one more than
a quorum.
In case of a failure to maintain a quorum
absentees could be sent for, but many sen-
ators are either members of the national
convention or delegates to the republican
convention and would not be likely to re-
turn until after the convention. The lead-
ers on both sides believe final adjournment
can be effected not later than Tuesday
evening.
Early Decision Not Looked For.
Washington, June 7.—The prediction by
the London Speaker of an early decision
by the Venezuelan boundary commission
respecting the boundary line between Vene-
zuela and British Guiana is not shared by
those conversant with the facts in the
case. Justice Brewer, the president of the
commission, does not think the commission
will render an opinion at an early date.
Minister Anfrade of Venezuela does not
look for a decision before fall.
Uuestion of Receding.
Washington, June 7.—There were no con-
ferences at the capitol to-day on the differ-
ent appropriation bills in disagreement be-
tween the two houses. It is thoroughly un-
derstood by the conferees and it is only a
question of which house will recede from
the position it has taken.
Minister Terrell's Movement**.
Washington, June U.—Mr. Terrell, I'nited
States minister to Turkey, has abandoned
his original plan of going back to Texas
to spend the remainder of his vacation and
now expects to start for Constantinople
next week.
of the differences between the two houses.
Instead of adjourning last night the house
look i recess until 10 o'clock to-morrow
morr.ii.'-.. That action continues the legis-
lative day of Saturday, which, by a special
order adopted on Friday, was made a sus-
pension day and will enable the house to
vote on any proposition alter twenty min-
utes' debate. After a conference between
the two houses on the four supply bills,
the sundry civil, Indian and District of
Columbia are held to be radical, but by
mutual concessions the house leaders be-
lieve the differences can be adjusted so
as to permit an adjournment Tuesday or
\V ednesday.
In the sundry civil bill the house has thus
far persistently ret used to accept the
amendments for public buildings at the
capitals of Utah, Idaho. Wyoming and
Montana and the additions for the public
buildings at Kansas City, Savannah and
Camden, N. J.
In the naval bill the house has remained
equally firm in its insistence on four bat-
tleships and $425 per ton as the maximum
cost of armor plate. To both of these items
tie senate has declined to agree, and yes-
terday refused a compromise. The senate
insists on two battleships and a reduction
of the cost of armor plate to $820 per ton.
In the Indian bill, which has no less than
four items, the house voted for the im-
mediate termination of appropriations for
• e ;arian Indian schools as against the sen-
ate's proposal to allow them to run until
1M'\ The house yesterday declined to ac-
eopt as a compromise their termination in
Isi'i". This same question figures In the dif-
ferences between the houses on the two
item's in the District of Columbia bill re-
lating to sectarian charities.
Another troublesome question in the In-
dian bill is the appropriation for the pay-
ment of attorneys for the old settlers' as-
sociation. The senate yesterday declined a
compromise on this question which would
postpone the payment of these claims until
further action was hud at the next see-
sion. in the question of sectarian schools
it does not seem probable that the house
can be induced to yield.
The probabilities are that the other items
will be compromised, saving and expediting
ibe public building item in the sundry civil
bill, which it seems likely the senate will
e\ entually abandon.
The main difficulty In the way of an ad-
journment by the middle or the week seems
to*lie at the senate end of the capitol, where
a single senator can obstruct members if
he chooses until the quorum falls with all
chances of sine die adjournment before the
St. Louis convention will disappear. An
intense desire of members at both ends of
the capitol to get away, however, will do
much toward inducing those who are dis-
posed to raise factious questions to yield
their individual desires to accomplish this
result. It is possible that if Senator Har-
ris and others, who are represented as
strenuously insisting on the restoration of
the southern war claims on the general de-
ficiency bill, should carry their obstructive
tactics too far, the leaders at both ends
of the capitol might decide to allow the
deficiency bill to fail altogether in order to
bring about an adjournment. While the
failure of this bill might embarrass the
government, it would not stop any of the
go v e rnme nt mac binerv.
Fired Into the l3on.se.
Karnes City. Tex., June 7.—Last night
while some of the colored people were en-
joying themselves at the home of Fannie
Brown some parties came up a,nd fired into
the house, wounding Charlie Brown and
Nathan Banks. The supposition is that a
negro did the work. The wounded parties
arc not seriously injured. The shooting-
was done with a Winchester rifle.
Drowned in the Colorado.
Austin, Tex., June 7.—Scott Green, a
prominent young business man of this city,
was drowned this afternoon while bathing
in the river. He was evidently caught in
a suck hole and drowned before assistance
could reach him.

cinct yesterday resulted in a majority of
(54 against prohibition.

NORTHWESTERN STORM.
Dnimige in "Minnesota.
St. Paul, Minn., June 7.—The storm dam-
age in this city last night was severe, the
city railway being the principal sufferer.
About one mile of the Inter-suburban line
between the two cities was so badly dam
aged as to entirely stop street railway
business.
The storm was general throughout the
southern part of the state. Luverne, in the
southeastern part of the state being flooded
and heavy damage done. The storm extend-
ed over Into S.-Mih Dakota, where con-
siderable damage was done.
At Bird Island, Minn., five and a half
inches of water fell and a great deal of
grain will be drowned out.
A special from Luverne says: "Last
night citizens were kept busy rescuing peo-
ple who live in the river bottom and many
narrow escapes were reported. Fred Berg
and lames Jacobs were capsized in a boat
at midnight while trying to rescue the fam-
ily of Mr. Millard. The boys were washed
against some trees where they remained
unt,il morning. Several farm houses were
demolished and hundreds of cattle, sheep
and hogs perished. The Omaha and Bur-
lington roads have large crowds at work,
but it will be several days before the trains
from the east will reach this point,.
"The estimated loss In this county Is $20,-
000.
"John Kittlesen, while fording the river,
was washed from his horse and drowned.
Phenomena nt Chicago.
Chicago. June 7.- Severe storms prevailed
throughout Wisconsin. Illinois, Iowa, Kan-
sas. Nebraska, South Dakota and Michigan
to-day, with a. heavy rain and In several
sections with cyclonic manifestations. The
storm passed over ibis city accompanied
with rain and hail. Hailstones fell so thick
in some plac.es in this vicinity that they
could be taken up by the shovelful. After
the rain residents of Hyde Park picked up
in one snot nearly a peck of shells and
gravel. In other places in this suburb
small fish and turtles were found in large
numbers. Of this remarkable occurrence
Observer Cox states that the transplanting
of fish, shells and water gravel from their
original resting places to points twenty
miles away was due to tin* air vacuums
whieh the winds and straight winds which
have prevailed throughout the west for a
week past. A sailboat was capsized on
the lake this afternoon by the high winds
and its four occupants barely escaped
drowning. Up to a lute hour to-night no
fatalities had been reported. At Peoria a
heavy rain did considerable damage.
Killed by n Cloudburst.
Xieavenworth, Kan., June 7. Four men
were killed and great damage to property
bv a cloudburst which visited this section
this afternoon. Water fell in torrents,
smashing windows, tearing off signs, etc.,
and flooding cellars and bottom lands.
Dermis and Mike Desmond and Dennle and
Eugene ('itmmlngs, all under 11 years, were
drowned by going into a stone culvert to
escape the storm. The water washed their
bodies into the Missouri river and they
have not yet been recovered.
llnil in K nil mum.
Wichita, Kan., June 7.—A terrible hail
storm at an early hour this morning de-
stroyed thousands of acres of line growing
corn in southern Kansas, with hall stones
cutting stalks like mowing machines. The
storm was so severe that the roadsides were
strewn with dead birds. The storm was ap-
parently general all over Kansas and ex-
tended over a part of Oklahoma,
Havana, May 29.—(Copyright, 1896, by the
Associated Press.)—The Spanish newspapers
teem with articles on the loyalty of Span-
iards in the republics of Mexico, Uruguay
and Argentine. But it is too well known
to require extended notice. Spaniards of
Argentine and Uruguay have enrolled vol-
unteers in Cuba, and to-day over 2000 of
them are serving in Cuba to maintain Span-
ish rule and Spanish supremacy.
Spaniards in the I'nited States and all
Spanish America have initiated a naval
fund, the subscriptions extending over three
years.
The lateit evidence of loyalty of the Span-
ish In Spanish-America has taken a new
form. What is deemed to be a new and
strong anti-Spanish feeling in the American
senate and the United States generally has
been developed by the press in the mother
country, as well as in Spanish-America. It
has led to the calling together of Spanish
merchants in the republics of Mexico, Uru-
guay and Argentine. They have protested
against what they regarded as the unfriend-
ly utterances of the American people, and
have unanimously decided to cease further
purchases In the United States. The move-
ment wlas initiated in South America quite
recently. The Spanish merchants of Mexi-
co City and Vera Cruz have decided on
similar action.
Exports to the three republics have been
considerable, and the following are the
latest figures obtainable. They are from
United States sources, the report of the
bureau of statistics, treasury department,
Washington, 18M:
Value of American exports to Mexico in
l.V'2, *14,21*3,999; in 1 m, $1H,;.6.S,153I; in Lssil. $12.-
842,149. Value of American exports to Ar-
gentine republic in 1892, $2.927,48S; in l.MM, $9,-
897,807; in 1894, $4,bt52,7!G. Value of American
exports to Uruguay in 1S92, $939,030; in 1893,
$900,40U; in 1894, $1,105,117.
Value of American exports to Cuba in 1892
was $17,953,570; in 1893, $24,157,098; in 1894,
$20,125,021.
Some soldiers on detachment duty at the
Olympia estate, near Oimarros, on the aftei-
noon of the 24th instant, went into the
hills of the nearby Torro estate to bring in
^ome horses placed there for pasturage.
The Spanish column of .Para was encamped
on the Torro estate. The men searching
for the horses saw them, and mistaking
thorn for insurgents fired upon them. The
firing alarmed the remainder of the detach-
ment at the Olympia when they went to the
relief of their comrades, but seeing the sup-
posed enemy In large numbers they tired
a volley and fell back to the sugar mills on
the Olympia. Their retreat deceived the
Pa via column, also mistaking them for reb-
els, who concluded that they were retreat-
ing. As a result of this bungle a soldier of
the Havana battalion was killed, while one
of the opposition troops was wounded.
La Discussion Of thus city oi >ue ..m, un-
der the head, "To General Weyler," editori-
ally refers to the suspects imprisoned in
this city, the first case being that of Juan
Ponce Gome re, a teamster proprietor from
the Interior of the island. He owns a trans-
port system of teams and previous to his ar-
rest bad been transporting supplies for the
government. His alleged crime consists in
having expressed a wish to purchase tl re-
volver, a volunteer, as he alleges, to de-
fend himself against ihe Insurgents. La
Discussion states that S nor Gomere is well
known to the mliiiaM authorities of Place-
las and vicinity. While in the common pris-
on since January 1, no specific charge has
been made against him, nor has any lawyer
or judge been named to inquire into ihe
case. No doubt the governor general will
put this unfortunate matter right.
Continuing, La Discussion adds: "We also
ask clemency for Antonio Perez Guerra
and Jose Vaquerro Torres, likewise pris-
oners since January 1. who so far have, not
been identified by the authorities. They
are known to be wholly reliable citizens."

We) ler'w Report.
Havana, June 7.-The band of Maceo de-
manded the surrender of the fort at the vil-
lage of Gabriel, in Havana, and sent a
threat to blow It up with dynamite. The
chief of the garrison detained the messen-
gers who had been sent to parley with him
as prisoners. After keeping up a fire for
two hours the insurgents retreated, burning
forty-one houses. They burled five killed
and carried off their wounded.
In the course of several skirmishes in
Havana, Matanzas and Pinar del Bio prov-
inces, the insurgents have lost twenty
killed.
Colonel Figuero attacked the insurgents
in defensive positions held by them on the
heights of Santa Barbara, in Havana prov-
ince. Both sides opened fire simultaneous-
ly. but the insurgents soon began to beat
a retreat. They abandoned 11 of their killed
but carried off their wounded.
Captain Lopez, with 150 infantry and a
squad of cavalry, In Bayaniesa, found GOO
well armed Insurgents occupying good po-
sitions. A light ensued and they charged
the insurgents. They lost IX killed. Tic
official report states that the troops had 3
killed, while Captain Lopez himself was se-
riously wounded, and 11 privates were also
wounded.

Key West, Fla., June 0.—Jose Lopez, who
was arrested on the steamer Mascot to at
Havana just before her departure on ac-
count of bis suspicious action in destroying
a note handed him from a small boat along-
side, was released Friday and arrived to-
night. He reports miserable treatment by
the officers who arrested him, but said he
was accorded very considerate treatment
by the chief of police of Havana.
Mr. Lopez reports an engagement near
Havana at Jesus del Monte. The Spanish
troops were commanded by Araliguen. The
loss to the Spanish and Cubans is not
known.
The report is confirmed here that the
Horsa suc< essfully landed Raphael Cabrlel
at Punt a Calado, near Neuvitaa, province
of Puerto Principe.
A few days ago General Gomez marched
his forces to a point a short distance from
Bayamo, shouting "Vive Cuba libro!" The
score or more of insurgents who hud pur-
rendered and joined the Spanish forces
again deserted and again joined the insur-
gents.
W ill investigate.
New York, June 7.—A dispatch to the
World from Madrid says: The supremo
military court met to-day to consider a
communication from the minister of war
calling Its attention to the accounts of the
projected duel. The court will name a
prosecutor to investigate the case with the
usual dilatory formalities. The impression
prevails that it will bo impossible to avert
a duel, and that it will probably take place
far from Madrid, perhaps beyond the fron-
tier. Seldom has any military scandal
caused such a painful sensation. As the
aged marshal (he is 07 years old) is handi-
capped bv corpulence and slow action of
the heart, It is probable he would be the
victim in an encounter, hence the popular
and military sympathy is aroused in his
favor in a nation ever ready to admire
noble and generous impulses.

Havana, June 7.—It is understood here

their willingness to accept mediation by
the United States for ending the war on
the basis of autonomy, provided that the
United States guarantee peace. It is said
that the petition has met the
approval of 170 politicians and
Cuban autonomists who await only the de-
cision of Rafael Montors and Julia San-

autonomists and separatists respectively.
The petition, if finally signed, will be pre-

Opening' nt Pittsburg To-l)ay.
Pittsburg, Pa., June 7.—Everything is in
readiness for the opening of the twenty-
eighth national saengerfest to-morrow
night, and a number of singers who will
participate have arrived. The city was
visited this evening by a heavy rain which
had the effect of destroying the brilliancy
of the decorations already up on many
buildings, but fortunately the principal dec-
orations will not be in place before to-
morrow. The first arrivals this evening
shortly after 7 o'clock were the Indianapo-
lis mnennorchor with ilii singers, the Ges-
schelschaft harmonic, 15 singers: ilarugl
lleilerkranz. 24 singers, and Swaebischer
sangerbund, 15 singers, all of Dayton, o.
They were escorted to the old city hall,
the headquarters, by the committee on re-
ception, headed by the Great Western band
of forty nieces, and were enthusiastically
received by a goodly crowd of citizens.
After being welcomed and fed, the Indian-
apolis organization sang "1m Krug Sum
Gruenen Kranz," and the united societies
of Dayton rendered "Das Deutsch Lied."
The singers were then escorted to their
■hotels.
A notable guest'Is Carl Barns, director of
the Indianapolis rnaennorchor. He is 74
years of age and was first director of the
first saengerfest held by the North Ameri-
can saengcrbuud in Cincinnati in 1819. He
expects the Pittsburg fest to be the largest
he has ever attended.
Prol'. Helnrlch Zollner of New York, the
musical director of the fest. with the se-
lected orchestra of 75 pieecs, arrived this
morning and tor the first time rehearsed
with the mixed chorus and the united
singing societies of Pittsburg and Alle-
gheny. The rehearsal was pronounced by
all an eminent success. Prof. Heinrlch
Zollnas addressed the singers of Pittsburg,
saying that the rehearsal was absolutely
perfect and expressed his great admira-
tion and surprise at the way they had
sung. He said it was not necessary for
them to hold another rehearsal. Richard
Arnold of New York, the concert master,
said the orchestra is the best that has
appeared at any musical event In this or
any other country.
The central board of control held a spe-
cial meeting to-day to arrange the details
of the opening event to-morrow night. Af-
ter a brb f announcement by President John
Dimling, President Cleveland, at the white
house in Washington, will at N p. m. touch
the button which will illuminate the im-
mense electrical lyre in Music hall, thus
opening the saengerfest.
After the opening. Paul Snyder*president
of the central board of the twenty-seventh
fest held in Cleveland in 1N93. will present
the fest flag, the trophy of the sanger-
bund, to President Dimling. Lieutenant
Governor Lyons will make an address of
welcome and Mayors Ford and Geyer will
act in a similar capacity for Pittsburg and
Allegheny. The fest oration by Rev. Fred-
erick Kouff of the German Evangelical
Protestant church will follow.

arrive in the morning and is expected to
deliver an address. A series of entertain-
ments and receptions has been arranged
for many of the visiting societies. Cleve-
land. Cincinnati. St. Louis and Chicago
and other delegations are expected to ar
rive early in the morning and all partici-
pants will be on hand before evening.

A BRITISH VICTORY.
Price, McCorinlek's A Co/s Circular.
New York, June 4.—Cotton: The week in
the cotton market has been the most active
we have seen in some time. August con-
tracts sold at 7.40c. and December at 0.72c.
The decline lias been the result chiefly of
the development of great weakness in Liv-
erpool. where the premium on near posi-
tions has almost entirely disappeared, as
i consequence, it is said, of the liquidation
of the holdings of a clique there who had
hitherto been bullish on the market. Two
small failures have occurred in Liverpool,
but they are without significance. To-day.
after opening at a sharp decline, the mar-
ket there rallied some 6-04d, and closed firm
it the recovery. In New York the liquida-
tion has not as yet been complete, and the
bearish feeling continues intense. As a re-
sult, the recovery that was established
this morning, in consequence of the im-
provement in Liverpool, has not been well
held. The Financial Chronicle has to-day
made public its estimate of the acreage
the coming season. It puts the increase,
is compared with last year, at 12.0 per
cent. It says that the acreage is* not quite
as large as in 1M)4, but that the crop condi-
tions up to the present time could hardly
be belter than they are. and that unless
something occurs to seriously Injure the
plant, the prospect is for a large yield and
an early maturity. While the estimate of
icreage shows a smaller increase than had
been expected, the report of the acreage
figures, and the report can not be consid-
ered therefore as having materially dis-
turbed Hit' confidence With which the bears
look for lower prices. Their operations for
a decline meantime are very materially as-
sisted by the utter prostration of specula-
tion throughout the country. The uncer-
tainty as to the issue ot Ihe coming elec-
tion. the doubt as to whether Mr. Melvinley
-who Is regarded on all sides as almost
surely the nominee of the republican party
may be intrusted with the financial des-
tiny of the I'nited States, and the conse-
quent prostration to business and collapse
in speculation, leave the prices of all com-
modities, us well as of nearly all securities
unprotected against the demonstrations of
these who believe in lower prices, and the
task of selling the market down is a com-
paratively easy one. The very fact, how-
ever. that It is attractive to be upon tlie
short side creates an overgrown short in-
terest that in itself has been and is likely
to continue to be the basis of many sharp
rallies.
So far as August is concerned, there are
many who still believe that Mr. lnirian Is
a large holder of contract* for that month,
arid that he is not in this instance any more
than in tlie past, likely to surrender the
prestige of his previous success. This be-
lief restricts trading In the summer posi-
tions and has created a market which is
exceedingly nervous and unsettled. Mean-
time the lower range of prices has de-
veloped an increased demand for cotton,
spinners' takings in Liverpool have in-
creased. until to-day 16,000 bales were sold,
and ll this Increased buying continues
to <h plete the already small stocks of
American cotton, the August position will
prove In our opinion a dangerous one to be
short of.

lira/.or hi Convention.

county convention held at Angleton Satur-
day was one of the largest conventions held
in this county for years. The meeting was
called to order by lion. T. J. Duffy. T. 10.
Douthett of Velasco was elected chairman
and A. J. Birohfield secretary. Fvery pre-
cinct in the county was represented except
Liverpool and Fair. A vote, on the silver
question was taken, which resulted: For
the free and unlimited coinage of silver,
00; for sound money, 24.
The convention instructed for F. J. Duff
for congress. This was done with the hope
of k' eping the delegation front dividing, as
Velasco knew that out of the three votes
this County is entitled to, and under her
agreement with Alvln, that Colonel Waiter
Gresham would get at least one—the dele-
gate from Alvln. But after making the
agreement with the Alvln delegation to
give them one delegate to the congressional
convention a Velasco man offered a motion
that instead of electing three delegates that
the delegation be made at large, anil in-
struct them for T. J. Duff. Twenty-four
delegates were elected to go to the con-
gressional convention.
The state administration was indorsed.

Webb Comity Sound Money.
Laredo, Tex., June 6.-At a meeting of
the sound money delegates who were ap-
pointed at a previous meeting of the demo-
cratic county convention of Webb county,
the following resolutions were adopted:
When as, we hold the unity and concert
of action of the democratic party to be
paramount to all minor or local uuostlons,
and consider all true democrats bound to
abide the party's determination of ques-
tions and enunciation of principles through
its legally constituted conventions: and
Win reus, the power to coin money is
vested in the congress of the United States
and can not be exercised by a state gov-
ernment; therefore be it
Resolved, that we will abide by and sup-
port the action of the democratic conven-
tions, national, state, district and county;
that in tin Austin convention we will sup-
port for delegates to the Chicago conven-
tion ib moerats who favor sound money,
but who will abide tlie decision of the na-
tional democratic convention on tills as
well as on other national questions; that
we will oppose the coining of money being
made a test or question in our state con-
vention. and irrespective of their views on
this subject, we will favor the nomination
of the present incumbents of the state of-
fices for re-election except the commissioner
of the general land office, for which place
we are instructed to support Robert W.
Stayton.
A Converting Object Lcsnoii.
Hidalgo, Tex., June l.-To The News:
This county Is solid for sound currency, and
It is its close proximity to free silver Mexi-
co that makes It so. People here can take
a I nlted States dollar and cross the Klo
Grande and exchange It for nearly two
Mexican dollars, and why? Because the
l ulled States dollar Is backed up by gold.
What better object lesson do we want?
We don't pretend to be financiers, but we
believe what we see. and to put our cur-
rency on a par with Mexican silver, which
unlimited coinage would certainly do, would
force us to pay $2 for what we can now
buy for $1. Consequently it Is hard to con-
vince us that free and unlimited coinage of
silver would benefit us. The idea expressed
by Hon. Rudolph Kleberg is almost unani-
mously indorsed down here, 1. e., keep sil-
ver on a parity with gold.

Flrket, Egypt. June 7.—1This port was
taken by the Egyptian troops at an early
hour this morning, and their manner of
acquitting themselves in this, the first en-
gagement of the Nile campaign, has given
great satisfaction to the British officers in
command of them. The force left Akasheh,
the Egyptian outpost, last evening. The
movement was a surprise, as it seemed to
have been determined to hold Akasheh as
an outmost until the season is past and the
period arrived for the advance on Dongola
the latter part of September. The force
responded promptly to orders and was soon
under way for this point. The distance is
twenty miles, and It took the whole night
to accomplish the march.
The greatest secrecy had been maintained
as to all the arrangements, and precaution
was taken to prevent the news of the ad-
vance from leaking out. The night long
march was pursued In absolute silence,
in consequence, the arrival of the Egyp-
tians at the dervishes' camp took the ene-
my completely by surprise. They rallied,
however, and rushed to their arms. Far
from being routed. In the first skirmish of
the attack they stood to their positions and
made a stubborn defense of the camp for
an hour ami a half during which there was
hard fighting. The dervishes were put to
rout, however.
Reports received indicate that the loss to
the dervishes will amount to over 1000
men killed. Of those killed it Is rumored
one was the Emir Humid, one of tho
chiefs. He was In command of the large
force at Suarada.
The finishing of the railroad from Srahas
has been rapidly pushed. By extending It.
to Flrket early advantage can thus be
taken in the rise of the Nile at the end of
July for water transports to Dongola.
'I he officers In command of the Egyptian
force express great gratification at the con-
duct in this mornlP'y.JLjlght of the Egyp-
tians, about whom'sotpt .,'oubts have been
felt. Both the Egyptians and Soudanese
displayed great dash and nerve. The Egyp-
tian loss was twenty killed and eighty
wounded. Hundreds of dervishes were
taken prisoners.
ltomli Exploded.
Barcelona, June 7.—A bomb was thrown
into the crowd during Corpus Christl pro-
cession to-day and its explosion resulted
in the killing of six persons and the Injury
of fifty. The perpetrator of the deed is
as yi t unknown and his motive is equally a
mystery.
The news of the throwing of a bomb into
the procession spread like wildfire over the
city and it caused a panic among the great
crowds drawn there by the religious fes-
tivities and the Sunday merrymaking. The
explosion occurred just as the Corpus
Christl procession was entering the beauti-
ful and ancient church of Santa Maria del
Mar. This is one of the most thickly popu-
lated quarters of the populous city. The
sound of the explosion and the distressed
cries of the injured and the friends of the
killed created an Indescribable panic among
the great crowd In the procession and look-
ers on. The people were terror stricken
with dread of other bombs being thrown,
and it was with difficulty that they were
restrained from crushing each other in tho
stampede.
A terrible.scene ensued to-day after the
explosion of the bomb near the church of
Santa Maria del Mar. Seven corpses and
forty persons severely Injured were lying
around. The greatest excitement continues
unabated throughout the city. The police
have picked up thirty fragments of bombs
in the street.
ChrlMtlniiM Frightened.
London, June 8.—The Times has a dis-
patch from Cane, island of Crete, which
says that great alarm continues among the
Christians there. They assert that only
the presence of foreign warships has saved
them from general massacre. The princi-
pal source of fear to them are the Turkish
soldiers, who are the same as those who
gained notoriety at Zeitoun at the time of
the Armenian massacres. They are in pos-
session of watches and jewelry which they
openly state they took from the Armenians.
It is asserted also that human ears, with
earrings in them, are being sold.
Attacked and Routed.
London, June 7.-—A dispatch to the Times
from Buluwayo, dated June 6 (Saturday),
says: "The American scout, Burnham, has
reported that he rode into the impi of 9U0
Matabeles last evening. A column was sent
out which attacked and routed the impi,
killing lf»0 natives. Numbers of Martini
repeating ritles were captured.
Attacked by Kurds.
Athens, June 7.—An official report says
