Saturday, dischargine the committee bn
finance from the further cons ideration iof
the joint House resolution directing the
payment of the surplus in tho j treasury
on the publ'o debt, was taken up, but
on a statement by Mr. Sherman that in
all human probability the joinf resolu
tion would be reported tomorrow tor ac
tion by the Senate, the matter went over.
Mr. Ingalla offered a resolution
(which was adopted) requesting the
President to communicate information

posed to make this bill a test of its
fidelity to its pledges. Complaint had
baen made in the" Senate that if this
and other forfeiture bills were passed, a
rank injustice might be worked to a rail
road corporation and this complaint
had been made as though it were pos
sible for Congress to work the divesti
ture of any legal rights.
Mr. Van Eaton, of Mississippi, sup
ported the Senate bill. Mr. . Prioo, of
Wisconsin, said he could find nothing
in the platform oi any political
party which could justify Con
gress in violating an express or implied
contract, as was done in the House bill.
He was not willing to bow, so" abjectly
before the communistic cry of 4''i)mn
the railroads" as to break contracts
and to break pledges of parties in
! national conventions. It was demagog-
cry in the lowest and meanest sense.
Mr. Voorhees, of Washington Terri
tory, favored the House bill, declaring
that there were high reasons of public
policy why the land grant of the North
Pacific company should be takn from
its control as far as this could legally be
done. He pictured what he character
ized as the oppression of that railroad
company, ar practiced in Washington

The Senate at 11:45 proceeded to the
consideration of the deficiency appropri
ation bill.
The first clause that attracted atten
tion was on paire 29. in relation to tti
laws relating to railroad taxation and
set at defiance every legislative action
of the people. Mr. Oates, : of Alabama,

power of CoDgress to pa&a theJSenate

El Paso, Texas, July 25. The ex
citement on both sides of the river,
among Mexicans as well as Americans,
has been so great that both governm0"0
have concluded, for the purple of al
laying it, to conduct further negotia
tions without publicity. ! Soldiers con
tinue in large number in f'"; del
Norte, Mexico, lhe sleepy old place
wears as martialan air as it Li possible
for such a relio of antiquity to assume.
In marked contrast to this nervous
exhibition of military power in Paso
del Norte, and in contrast to the eager
and excited interest taken in this inter
national questson by the citizens of El
Paso, is tine supremely calm demeanor
of the United States authorities at Fort
Bliss, within a few hundred yards of
the hostile hula of Mexico, on the other
side of a shallow mountain stream that
can be waded just now with the greatest
ease. To look at Fort Bliss today no
body would imagine that , within one
mile of it a hostile city was bustling
with armed men, breaking vengeance
against the "Americanos." .
Surreptitiously a tram-load of troops
from Chihuahua, that had been massed
and announced Friday night as being on
the way to Pat del Norte to mcrease
the Mexican army of observation, ar
rived there at daylight Saturday morn
ing. I here is no knowledge as to how
many more may follow, as the Mexicans
are adepts in keeping intended military
movements quiet and dark.
Cutting is in jail at Paso del Norte.
A Mexican, named Medina, who in
sulted the American consul's clerk; has
been in the same jail for that offense.
It is well that the impression of his im
prisonment got oat at the time it did,
lor it helped materially in allaying the
excitement on the Texas side of thu
river, which was just tnen at fever heat.
He was tried, found guilty of creating a
disturbance and fined.
Cutting was brought before judge
Casteneda last evening and informed
that his case had become of such na
tional importance that it would have to
be transferred tothe first district court,
where sentenco would be pronounoed at
some future day. Consul Brigham tried
to learn when the trial would take place,
but he could get no satisfaction. It is
now thought that Mexico is determined
not to give (Jutting up. it is rumored
on the the streets of Paso del Norte that

artillery, is approaching the city from

Washington, July 26. The con

have failed to reach an agreement and
will so report to their respective houses.
The Senate today passed the tTouse
bill directing the commissioner on labor
to make an investigation as to convict
labor.
At k6 o'clock the republican Sena
tors assembled in caucus in the
judioiary committee room. The com
mittee appointed at the caucua at Sena
tor Sherman's house, to outline a sub
stitute for the Morrison surplus resolu
tion, mado its report, recommending
that tho minimum: reservo be fixed at
$110,000,000. A promise was added
authorizing the President to suspend the
operation of the resolution in emergen
cies. A quorum of the caucus did not
want to hear the full report snd when
Senator Allison had finished reading
and explaining it, it was decided to ad
journ without action, leaving the re
sult to the finance committee at its meet
ing tomorrow morning. The principal
part of the time of the Senate in secret
session up to the recesf at 6 o'clock was
consumed by Senators Voorhees and
Harrison, speaking respectively for and
against the confirmation of collector
H anion, of the seventh Indiana iLternal
revenue district, adversely reported
from the finance committee. The case
was still pending when a recess was
taken. Upon the reassembling at 8
o'clock it was discovered that ther aB
no quorum and pages wer ant out to
summon absentee A few minutes
later a quorn had assembled and the
consideration of the Hanlon case was
resumed. There were but few more
than a quorum of Senators present, and
attention being called to that fact, both
sides to the controversy assented to a
postponement of action until tomorrow,

CHICAGO. '
Chicago,! July 26. Col. W. H. Bol
ton, chief of division for handling second
class mail matter at the Chicago post
office, was) arrested shortly afternoon
today, charged with embezzelmcnt of
public funds by means of false re
turns. The potoffice inspectors claim
3 hare l-is o ! a shortage of $400, and
int-.in ao ui the total s ortage will
be from $50,000 to $100,000.
John T. Stewart, weigher, was also ar
rested. Bolton wa3 appointed by post
master Palmer in 1877. The arrests of
these two are very likely to be followed
by more, as the inspectors have discov
ered a private memorandum belonging
to Bolton, which they claim implicates
a number of Federal officials and even
private citizens. The inspectors say
that the facts which will quickly be
brought to light will produce a sensa
tion. Bolton had a fine war record,
participated honorably in a number of
severe battles, and was regarded as a
brave soldier and capable officer. After
the war .he went to Mississippi, where he
was appointed to a clerkship in the United
States circuit court. He afterwards
bought a ; plantation there. He left
Mississippi during the carpet bag ex
citement, came back to Cbicjgo and en
gaged in business until his appointment
to his present position. Bolton wis
held in $10,000 and Stuart in $5,000
bail this afternoon.

demanded food from the stores at Mug-

owing to the needs of the inhabitants
and the small'supply, made a rush for
the harbor storehouse, where flour and
fish were -Stored. The men of the small
settlement gathered to defend their only
hope of existence, and a desperate fight
ensued, m whioh four of the marauding
Esquimaux were nearly killed and (wo
of the storehouse defenders were sc
riously injured. The Esquimaux, find
ing that they could not obtain food oy
force, retreated and sent in several of
their number to ask for a small quantity
of food, which they said was absolutely
necessary to the continued existence of
their wives and children. 1 wo hundred
pounds of flour and about fifty pounds
of froaen codnsh were given them.

July 24, 1886.
The political cauldron in old Warren
has commenced to bioiuier and will soon
be boiling with excitement. While the
democrats are hopelessly in the minority
we have for years past succeeded in se
curing good, conservative and reliable
democrats for the most part to fill the
county offices. This year a desper ate
effort will be made to turn out many of
the present incumbents and place un
tried, inexperienced so-called liberals in
their places.
We learn that Mr. Young, brother of
the late Col. Ike Young, is the most
popular candidate for Congress in War
ren, and it is probable the Warren dele
gation will be instructed for him,
though "O'llara" has many friends
who will make a bold tight in his behalf.
The democrats will hold their conven
tion Saturday the 7th of August, and
will havo an eye to tho field and do
their whole duty in the best interest of
all classes and conditions of our fellow
citizens.
The Baptist Sunday school of our
town picnicked at Warren Plains depot
Friday lit. Many of our citizens, as
well aBsome few of the country Sunday
schools by invitation enjoyed the ac
oision with them. It was a pleasant and
happy occasion, at least three or four
hundred persons old and young being
present There were two loDg tables,
jxx which the food, the jvery best War
renton and Warren county could efford,
wa served in neat, nice little woo leu
dishes. The children were first invited
and served, after which the grown peo
ple came forward, all of whom showed
their appreciation by; sharpened and
he-Ithy appetites. Cold ice lemonade
flowed in abundanoe, and while it is a
difficult task to fill a boy,
and it may be a girl with lemonade
yet the cry frequently , came "enough,
enough!" Mr. N. B. Broughton of your
city, by special invitation addressed the
Sunday school and the! large audience
present, and as usual did it well, to the
entire satisfaction of all present. The
day was a joyous one and the general
wish was that we may nave many happy
returns.
Uvuuu i oKoo uiops, especially
the latter, have been very much irjured
by exoesiive rains in Warren. The best
and most knowing judges are positive
that tho crop will be short and poor
lhis has caused some excitement and an
advance in our market, but it comes
too late to be of much, benefit to our
farmers a to the present crop. '
lhe health of our town is very good,
never better, and there are quite a num
ber of people from the eastern part of
the State and from Virginia, spending the
summer here. Many more would come if
there were houses to rent or good hotel
accommodations. Our greatest need is
a good large hotel building and a bank,
in fact they are necessities. The hotel
here under the management of Mr.
ong and .his estimable wife
is well kept and connot be excelled,
yet the building for hotel purposes
is poor and entirely too small. Any
one having money who would like to
invest in a hotel building, or do a bank
ing business, could not find a more in
viting field than Warren ton.
Several new private residences art

being built and many more win oe
built this fall and winter.
It is a sorry man that will not speak
in the praise of his own town or neigh
borhood, let aside from the interest
your correspondent has in Warrenton
as a citizen, he can with truth declare
that from his personal knowledge of
many towns in our wide awake and pro
gressive State, as well as what we learn
from the press and individuals, there is
no place that now offers as many in
ducements for live, good, reliable, en
ergetic men with a little money as does
Warrenton. Health not surpassed, so
ciety no better, school and church facili
ties of the best character, morals above
the average Manufactures and enter
prises of various kinds in demand. Reil
estate cheap. Where, we repeat, where
can be found a place offering so niaDy
i Ivantagcs and inducements.
