"Q0-. p;» > OAS81U8 BELDEH FIRES AMONQ THE BROKERS. The lie la Pawed. WMhington special: The lie was passed at the opening of the session of the Home this morning between Mr. Morse, of Massachusetts, ani Mr. Fithian, of Illinois, but no blows were struck and no blood wijH te spilled. The altercation was an outgrowth of Mr. Morse's filibustering course. Mr. Morse, in a five-minute speech this morning, tried to ijistffy his action, during the course of wi$eh hi charged Mr. Fithian with beijjg ^oieij respon­ sible for the refusal u£ the House to permit him to print in the Record some newspaper extracts attacking commis­ sioner Lochren. Mr. Fithian, rising to reply, said inasmuch as Mr. Morse had seen fit to criticise him that he had desired to call the attenticn of the House to a rather dubious proposition made by Mr. Morse to him. He said Mr. Morse, when he (Fithian) objected to his leave to print, came to him with honeyed words and informed him that he was a member of the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds and in­ timated that ha (Fithian) had a public building bill he (Moree) might be able to help him if the Illinois Congress­ man could see hi3 way clear to with­ draw his objection. "That is absolutely falsa!" shouted Mr. Morse, striding in a warlike man­ ner toward Mr. Fithian. "If the gentleman from Massachu­ setts denies this statement, I have proof to adduce that will satisfy any member of the House. My colleague, Mr. Goldzier, heard the conversation." As Mr. Fithian said this, Mr. Iuur»t> backed against the rails and replied meekly: "What the gentleman says ha9 the color of truth, but the construc­ tion he places on it is unqualifiedly false." "If the gentleman denies my state­ ment." shouted Mr. Fithian, shaking his fist angrily at the Massachusetts Congressman, "he is wilfully lying him­ self." In a minute the House was in an up­ roar. The Speaker quelled the impend­ ing riot by pounding his desk vigor­ ously with the gavel and declaring both gentlemen out" of order. This closed ae incident. CRANK' IN THE WHITE HOUSE. A htan Who Declared President Cleveland Wat His Father. Police Officer Heller had a violent sruggle to-day with an insane nigan who in some mysterious manner got into the White House, and was looking for President Cleveland. The appearance of the officer probably saved the Presi­ dent from an assault. How the fellow got inside the building no one knows. "I want to see my father," he said, "Who is your father?" the cook asked him. "Mr. Cleveland, of course," his response. Just then Policeman Heller a upon the scene and asked what was wanted. He saw at a glance that the man was not altogether right, and ar­ rested him after a struggle. At the station the crank gave the name of Joseph Washington, but refused to tell where he lived. No one at the station remembered of ever having seen him before. When asked what he wanted at the White House he re­ plied: "I wanted that chair." "What chair?" "The President's chain" "Don't you think the President fills it satisfactorily?" "No, I don't," was the reply, "and I intend to get it by fair means or fouL Give me a pistol and I'll show you who will get it quick." HSAVY WAR CLAIM SUBMITTED. tfeele Sam Aaked to Repay Money Be­ cause of Damages by Troops. Washington special: Private war olaims are the order of the day here both in House and Senate. In addition to many private claims, Mr. McKaig has introduced bills providing for the payment of $200,000 to the city of Fred­ erick, $30,000 to Hagerstown, and $1,500 to Middletown. All of these claims w out of the raids of Gen. Jubal gre Early, who levied the above sums on the several towns after their invasion. Mr. Beltzhoover, of Pennsylvania, has succeeded in having reported favor­ ably by the War Claims Committee, of which he is Chairman, a bill for the payment of $3,447,845.94 to residents of Southern Pennsylvania for damages sustained because of the invasion of Confederate and the presence of Union forces during the late war. Tammany the VlefcaW At New York, the great race between Lamplighter and Tammany for a purse of $5,000 and a side let of $2,500 each, was won by Tammany. The race was scarcely second to that between S&lTa- tor and Tenny, or that between Domino and Dobbins, and was looked forward to with interest in racing circles. Currencies Condensed.

Three People WOHMM , A man, presumably crazy, «NW#ted panic on the Chicago Board of Trade the other morning, completely clear­ ing the trading floor and stopping all business by indulging in a wild fusil­ lade of pistol-shots, aimed first at the ceiling and later at the excited, struggling throng of traders on the floor below him. It7 hap­ pened at about 11:45. Business at that time was progressing -as usual, pre. Suuuuiily the b® feel of cric pits was i of a pisto pits was punctuated by thai sharp crack u. operator, was let. Mr. Ben- by i the Instantly every one turned tP-Vs{nK lUW«IXAi buo CTVfcAV** -- the sound proceeded. A stranger was standing in the gallery with a pistol in his hand. After the first shot he turned his weapon toward the crowd and, in rapid succession, fired four times. One bullet struck Am mi T. Bennett in the neck, inflicting a painful and perhaps dangerous wound. Charles Roswell, a telegraph struck by another bulle net.tj who was wounded by a shot, was formerly President of the Board of Trade Insurance Exchange. Though there were from fifteen to twenty other visitors in the Bouth gal­ lery, no attempt was made by them to overpower the shooter or stop the deadly fusillade, and he was not interfered with until Tom Barrett, a broker, recovering from the panic which had overtaken the traders, rushed up stairs and grappled with the supposed maniac. A negro named Joe rj" j«p and helped. Mr. over­ power the fellow. When the shoot­ er was subjugated he was hustled into a side* room, and for a few moments the wildest excitement prevailed about the building. It was said that two or three men had been killed and among the rumors tossed about was one that the angry brokers were preparing to storm the room where the shooter was confined and lynch him. The police soon arrived on the scene, however, and took the man to the Harrison street station. The man who did the shooting pave the name oi Cassius Beldeh, of 38o La Salle^venue, Chicago. ' - DEATH IN A RAILWAY WRECK. Mr. and Mrs. U. A. Newland, of Detroit, Killed at BeUeme, Mich. A terrible accident occurred on the Grand Trunk Railroad at Bellevue, Mich. The Erie express ran into the rear of a regular train, demolishing a special car containing Howard G. Meredith and wife, Henry A. Newland and wife (father and mother of Mrs. Meredith), William Costles, porter, and William Abernathy, cook. Mr. and Mrs. Newland were killed out­ right. Mr. and Mrs. Meredith were badly but not fatally injured. Costles was fatally hurt. Abernathy escaped unhurt. Jennison, fireman of the fast train, was badly scalded. The side of the depot was smashed in. As nearly as can be ascertained the accident happened in this way: The rugular west-bound train, due at Belle- uue at 1:30 a. m., was two hours late. As it lay at the depot the fast Lake Erie train, which does not stop at the station, came along at tremendous speed. This private at tne rear of the car was reg­ ular train, and directly in front of It was a sleeper. The Lake Erie engine I>lowed clear through the rear car, eaving it in two sections on either side of the track, and bunted against the sleeper. The private car was almost entirely demolished, while the Lake Erie engine was badly damaged. The occupants of the car were all resi­ dents of Detroit and they had left home for Chicago to visit the World's Fair. Big Counterfeiting Plant Raided. An extensive counterfeiting plant was raided at Livingston, L. I., and Angelo Delnoco and his alleged wifo were arrested. The police secured over $1,000,000 in counterfeit bills. There were four in the gang altogether--two men and two women. Before State Commissioner Bellows at Brooklyn Del­ noco was held in 95,000 and the woman In $2,500 bail. Overflow of News.

In A. Sertoos state, of Affairs Still Kxtats th« labor World. The Democratic papers which are now declaring that all the factories are resuming are hiding a part of the vital truth. They are doing this for two reasons, one is to affect what they think is the tendency of political events in Iowa, Ohio, and other States, and, second, to reconcile the laboring classes to the tariff and industry-smash­ ing committee which is now at work in Washington under the leadership of Mr. Wilsou. The Des Moines Register says it is glad to note the evidences of returning prosperity and has open, aye, yawning columns for any items of this kind. As far as the banks are con­ cerned it may be stated that for them the hard times are practically over. Their condition has at no time been serious except through the folly of the people who were panic-stricken. The time is coming when they will have more money than they can loan profit­ ably, for there will lie no enterprises started and operated to absorb capital. The serious state of affairs is still in the labor world, not in the financial. Of the thousands who have been idle, during the summer months when they should have been laying by something for the long cold winter, only hundreds have as yet been returned to employ­ ment, and even these on reduced wages and on part time. There is no conceal­ ing this fact. Democratic papers an­ nounce simply that this or tnat mill has resumed, but they neglect to say that it has been at reduced wages and on part time and with part of the old force only. The commercial agencies, which are frequently quoted by Demo­ cratic papers, but only part quoted, bear out tnis statement. Bradstreet's last week said: The starting up of Idle manufacturing in­ dustries has not been nnnnplanoas this week as last, and In most instance* has been with reduced forces and on part time. At the same time Dun's said: About two-thirds of the Fall River cotton mills are operating, hut at a reduction of 10 to 13 per cent, in wages. Last year the riots at Homestead grew out of an attempt to reduce the wages of two or three hundred of the more highly paid workmen--men like Hugh O'Donnell, who were receiving from $6 to $15 a day. This year 75 per cent, of the workingmen of the Amal­ gamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers have been idle for months, and an offer from the employers is now pending for the men to return to work at a reduction of 20 per cent, in wages. These are facts which must not be lpst sight of, that Republicans who believe in protection must not allow the or­ gans of free trade to cover up. The situation ianot one whit improved by covering it up, but by revealing the true state of affairs tne people at the ballot-boxes may be able to take such action as shall result in final good for the causes of American ipduitibi^ and American'workingmen. The Republican Weapons. The Democratic party has furnished Republicans with weapons,^ use dur­ ing the campaign. They frere forged by * the calamities that party has brought on this country by oalamity howling. During the law low years [prosperity prevailed throughout this and, yet the Demccratieprese and the that time were j Dei : .w * V W. ' 4. -T Democratic leaders all howling calamity. The Democrat was the most persistent of these howlers up to the time the special Con­ gress was called. The Democrats told the workingman and the farmer that they were being robbed. They made them believe a change was wanted. They got that change. The working- man was thrown out of work and the farmer couldn't sell his produce at any f>rice. The Democratic press raised ts voice and said that this state of affairs was brought about by the Sherman act--a Republican law to prevent Democratic free silver. In consequence of that law confidence in the currency of the United States was being shaken, gold wa3 leaving the country and money was being with­ drawn from the banks and hoarded by the people, the result being stagnation in aU lines for want of funds to carry on business. A special Congress was called to repeal the Sherman law. That Congress has been in session since August 7, and the law still stands. Nearly all the gold that went out of the country is back again, hoarded money is finding its way back to the banks and confidence in financial mat­ ters is returning, yet business is de­ pressed, the manufacturer and the workingman is discouraged. While Congress is talking about helping the country the country is helping itself, and Iowa will set the ball rolling this fall by throwing off entirely the Dem- cratic yoke. "Depression" hasn't been "overcome." "Enforced idleness" is still a "common thing." While Iowa hasn't suffered to the extent that other States have, she is interested in the prosperity of all and feels their mis­ fortune.--Davenport Tribune. Voice of the WUd Cat. There were not a few inconsistent supporters of Democracy in last fall's campaign, says the Ceaar Rapids Re­ publican, who insisted that the State bank pledge of their party platform was only one of their party's meaning­ less pledges, and therefore not to ba taken seriously. In their shameless disregard of the pledge their party had made, they even went so far as to ridicule those who pointed out the dan­ ger embodied in the so-called wild-cat resolution, declaring that nobody se­ riously considered the question or re­ viving State bank currency and its attendant evils. While we still have hope that the wild-cat schemes Of Southern capitalists will not receive the support which the Atlanta Consti­ tution predicts it will receive, namely, that of the President and the Secre­ tary of the Treasury, yet the fact re- •j' , ' mains that a portion of the Southern press are positively counting upon an era of wild-cat currency, as witness the following clipping from the Memphis Commercial: Most of the Southern Senators and Repre­ sentatives have expressed themselves in faror of a repeal of the 10 per cent, tax on State bank issues, and we believe that such a law would receive a majority of the votes in both houses of Cougreae. Defend the Ballot Box i The Republican Committee fl§ Jfow York County expressed the sentiment of every loyal Republican when they deolnrad that "no question now before Congress is superior to pure and free elections." The cardinal principles of Republicanism are a free ballot, an honest count and protection to Ameri­ can labor. Republicans may some­ times differ in regard to minor issues. The Republican party is an absolute unit in its demand that the ballot box, at which the will of the nation is reg­ istered, shall be free from terrorism and unpolluted by fraud. In the last Presidential campaign the Republican press warned its read­ ers that Democratic victory meant a concerted assault on honest elections as well as the overthrow of American in­ dustries. The prediction has been fulfilled with startling prompt­ ness. The Democratic maiority in the House -- even while the silver repeal bill for which first thing they will do is to take sugar off the free list and make it dutiable again. The Republicans gave the American workman first free tea and coffee and then free sugar. A free breakfast table, in fact, a luxury, by the way, the British workman has never enjoyed under the benign influ­ ence of free trade. But the general prosperity was so great when sugar was made free that the masses of the appreciated fully the nefits of tho measure. When sugar shall be restored to the dutiable Tlst and the cost increased--for home com­ petition amounts to little or nofthing-- every household will realize the differ­ ence^ especially in these hard times of low wages aud scarcity of labor. Still "Dropping" and "Spotting" Veterans. Another veteran is dead as a result of the malicious and cruel policy of the pension office under Hoke Smith's man­ agement. His name was Charles Simms, and he had been wounded in fighting for the Union. A dispatch from Baltimore states that Simms "died at the city hospital from fatigue and injury from old wounds. He stood five hours in line at the postofiice last week to receive his pension. The heat was intense and the old man sank to the ground exhausted while waiting his turn to comply with the new order, re­ quiring him personally to receive his a v. check at the" postofflce. Cases show- w£T'S hS! wnia. lnS the injuries done the old soldiers begged Republican votes, is ponding in the Senate--have inaugurated a fu­ rious attack upon the national statutes that safeguard the ballot box. Tam­ many Hall and the Southern Bourbons have joined hands. The metropolitan thug and the Southern intlmidator stand shoulder to shoulder in the at­ tempt to make honest elections impos­ sible wherever the Democracy holds sway. The insolent menace of the Bourbons uttered years ago--"We have captured the Capitol, and we do not propose to stop until we have swept the last vestige of your war legislation from the statute books"--finds its echo in the declaration of Tammany Repre­ sentative Fellows that when the Feder­ al election laws are abolished "we shall carry our majority to 80,000 or 90,000. The emergency is of no common order. The issue at stake is nothing less than the maintenance of republi­ can institutions. The principle which the champions of fraud and violence assail is the corner stone of the repub­ lic. Free and fair elections are in­ finitely more precious than all the gold and all the silver that has been mined since civilization dawned. There is no national possession of such surpassing value as an uncorrupted ballot. The question does not admit of compromise. No Republican in Congress has the right, by word or act, to re-enforce the power of the Democratic administra­ tion while the Democratic party is venomously assailing the republic it­ self. To temporize with the alliance between the slums and the shotguns would be treason to every principle of Republicanism. The infamous con­ spiracy to strike down honest elections should be resisted by every Republi­ can Representative and Senator with every weapon in the armory of parlia­ mentary warfare! No truee with the enemy! No sur­ render of the rights of Republican voters! Stand by the ballot box, the palladium of American liberties! The Power of Congress. There are a groat many people so til- informed as to the powers of Congress that they believe sill thftt is necessary in times of financial and commercial distross is for Congress to meet, pass or repeal a law or so and all will be well. In a recent interview Senator Cullom, of Illinois, showed how nonsensical s view ihis is. Still the Senator admits that Sf Congress had assembled, stayed a week, repealed the silver purchasing clause of the Sherman bill and gone home, it would have had a good effect; but only for a time. As things are, the Senator ^is-conr vinced that Congress is npt-Ofily doing no gocd but is doing positive harm. The Senator estimates that there are over a million unemployed in this coun­ try to-day.. The best governed country is the least governed country, and if Congress met once in four years it would be better for the community, un­ less our political life were so arranged that we could send able men of affairs to Congress to legislate for us. What can be expected from the political ban­ ditti that are now enthroned in Wash­ ington ? and is it perhaps not a gocd thing that the powers oi Congress are not so great ana so easily set in motion on this, account ? He Answered Them Well. One of the many workingmen who have appeared before the Democratic Ways and Means Committee, which is revising the tariff, at Washington, an­ swered the whole administration of free-traders. He was told by the free trade members of the committee, as they tell every one, that the tariff is a tax! He asked them how much. He figured it out on the woolen goods whioh he wears and which his family wears and came to the conclusion that in about two days' work he could pay all of the taxes, so-called, and have a few nickels to spare to buy taxed tin cups. Then he told them tnat he had been idle for two months. In these two montfes he would have been able to eari\enough to pay the so-called taxes on woolen goods consumed in his fam­ ily for twenty-six years to come. That man answered all the arguments of the free-traders and did it so plainly and conclu-ively that no one can fail to understand him. May Tax Sngaaw While prating about the reduotionof "tariff taxes" the Democrats are con­ fronted by the necessity of providing greater revenue and it is becoming: more mod jmereprob*1^4h«Mi**ktM*# under the new rules are coming to light here every day." A reliable cor­ respondent at Troy sends the following to tne New York Press: John C. Nellis. of St. Johnsville, reports that he has just beeu cut- off the pension foil. It was thirty-one years from the day that he was taken, prisoner at Harper's Ferry that he re­ ceived the nottoe of the discontinuance of his j pension. Th«e ate several "jwwdon spotters" now workins in Central New Yortr and the old veterans and widows of veteran* are limoh alarmed, fearing that they will be included, among the number who will be cut from the pension rolls. The Simms case and the treatment of the veterans in Central New York are not exceptional. It may be said that wherever a,,crippled Union soldier is in receipt of a pittance to keep him from the poorhouse a Government spy is at his heels to prove him a fraud if possible. The brave men who offered their lives that the Government might live are being hounded to death De- cause they crushed the slaveholders' rebellion. . >T: Hold Them to Account. It Is folly for Democratic orators editors of the Fuzzy Wuzzy order to have fits over the evil results of the Sherman law. This law in itself would not have brought on a panic. The country prospered under it during the Republican Administration, and had President Harrison been re-elected there would have been no panic. And why? Simply because a Republican President would have maintained the gublic credit at ail costs. President [arrison is too great a statesman to take delight in giving the people an object lesson that he might illustrate and emphasize some pet theory as President Cleveland did. He would have issued bonds, and thereby served notice to the world that the United States meant to maintain its credit and retain its gold reserve. It is not improbable that the prompt issuance of $10,000,000 worth of bonds would have stopped the shipments of gold and saved the country from finan­ cial panic. It was vacillation and lack of appreciation of thp situation on the part of President Cleveland that caused the financial panid and threatened de­ struction of tne protective tariff that has caused the industrial depression. This is the long and short of the mat­ ter, and Republicans should hold the Administration strictly to account for the oombination of evus that have fol­ lowed the advent of the Democratic party to power.--New York Press. HOW It Works. In the course of a recent interview Senator Allison, of'Iowa, saitj: The manufacturer of woolen goods will not buy his raw material at a high price when he believes that wool will be put upon the free list and the price of wool go down. The Im­ porter of woolen goods will not pay a high fate of duty ou hiB imuort&tionH when ho believes that within a shot® time the duties will be great!v reduced. "Thus the importer aad the manufacturer will only provide for immediate and pressing wants, and production and trade languish. This illustration--one of many fcliat- mlght be made--shown what our industrial and trade conditions nmet be, pending the re­ vision. It is lnipos.-ii»3e to confine this distur­ bance to what !B called our protected indus­ tries. When audi disturbances corns, they soon permeate all trades and all stations. Every word of it is truth, and yet there are workmen in town which de­ pend on woolen industries who will read it and eay "yes" to it, and next election will take two drinks and a two dollar bill and vote the Democratic ticket just the same as ever. Facts About Neat. Larry Neal, who is now the Demo­ cratic candidate for Governor of Ohio, opposed the renomination of Cleveland, and when the President appointed Judge Gresham Secretary of State said: "That is enough to damn his ad­ ministration. " That Neal is a radical free trader is explained in Ohio by the fact that he is a Southern man, born in Virginia, and takes the old Southern view of the tariff as an institution op­ posed to cheap- labor.--Des Moines Register. _____ It Controls Democracy. "The South is the section of states­ manship, " a Southern Congressman is reported as saying a few days ago; "thirty years ago we were out of the Union, to-day we are not only in the Un­ ion again, but we are on top. We are here because the country can't get along without us--we have the genius for government." The South has at least a genius for running the Democratic party.

With, a roar and rush the waters of the Michigamme River broke through the Mansfield mine, at Crystal Falls, Mich., shortly after nine o'clock on Thursday night, drowning twenty- eight of the employes at work directly under the stream. The eighteen men wiio escaped, were employed in the lower levels. None of the bodies have been recovered, and it is believed it will be necessary to divert the chan­ nel of the river before they pan be se­ cured.

The Mansfield mine fe «Hfi of the Schlesinger group and is operated by Corrigan, Ives & Co. of Cleveland. The mine reaches out under the river, but the earth between the workings and the stream was supposed to be of such thickness as to make the flooding of the mine impossible and no extra precau­ tions had been taken against a disaster of this kind. The night shift of men went into the mine at the usual time and were deep in the pit when the break occurred. The men had no warning of the impending calamity. The main shaft of the mine extends under the Michigamme river and the subsiding of the ground turned the ptream into the mine, flooding it almost instantly. The accident occurred at 9 o'clock at night. The mine filled with water in two hours, and those that escaped were in the shaft, and were literally blown out by the rushing water and air, which made it impossible for a rescuing party to leave the cage for rescue of others. Nearly all are Ital­ ians and Swedes. The situation was awful and the scenes around the cave-in were heart-rending. Weeping women and crying children crowded up to the gaping pit to view the last resting place of husband and father. The spot has been visited by thousands of curious people,,and the tragic event is the one topic of discus­ sion in the Lake Superior country. No specific censure of the mining ̂ fljpany is being manifested.' The generally accepted theory as to the cause of the disaster is that the timbers on the fifth level gave way and allowed the levels above and at last the river to crash down upon the fated men. In the process of mining all the levels save the sixth have been stopped out, leaving only timbers and pil­ lars of pre above. John M. Long- year, of Marquette, one of the chief owners of the Mansfield mine property, said that the land had teen leased to Calhoun & Tenney of Chicago and that they had formed the Mansfield Mining Company. Mr. Longyear's belief is that the disaster was caused by "rob­ bing" the mine; that is, by working in a reckless manner and tearing down pillars of ore in the upper levels that should have been left to tupport the roof. There has been much trouble with water recently, and predictions have not been wanting thai the river would some day break thtough the roof of the mine. The depression in the iron trade has closed practically all the mines in the Crystal Falls district, and the Mansfield was almost the only one from which any ore was being raised, the fine quality of its product en­ abling it to keep on working. The night shift had gone down, and though some one noticed that more water than usual was coming into the mine no special alarm was felt, as the pumps seemed to be able. to keep the drifts free. So the work went on in its usual course until -the roar of water made the first announcement of danger. So fast came the flood that it is doubtful if the men in the upper levels were able to reach the shaft at all. Tony Buletto, the skip-tender at the fourth level, was standing near the shaft with Frank Rocco, a night bogs, or foreman, when the first crash came. They knew what had happened and an­ ticipated the lemit, but Rocco hero­ ically refused to go up in tbe skip un­ til he had warned his men of the dan­ ger imminent. He went back into the drift and perished with his comrades. Buletto came to the surface in the skip, and is the only man who went to work on the fourth level that fatal night left to tell the story. Louis Ashlemin, under whose direct supervision the mining was done, said the roof of the fifth level had been shifty for several days, but nothing that miners consider indicative of im­ minent danger appeared. *To secure the thing, however." he continued, "we placed new timbers in the level and it appeared to be perfectly safe. I believe the cave started on the fifth level." Telegraphic Clicks. ALL Chinese have been driven out of Cove, Ore. THE total admissions to the World's Fair to date are 14,027,821. REV. EDWAKD D.
