A dispatch "from Cincinnati' says:
Dr. Ernest Weissenbauer, professor
of geology in Heidelberg University,
Germany, is here for a rest alter i
visit of ecientifio inspection to the
natural gai wells at Findlay,,Ohia
He says he! found the vastness of the
gas-well cavity under Findlay greatly
underestimated, and that underneath
the town at great depths lay a mighty
cavern filled with highly-inflamtnable,
gas under tremendous pressure: lie
connected -: some very delicate tele
phones witn steel rods sunk into, the
earth through'the shaft of thef well
to a distance below it He head the
boiling of the rocks plainly, accom
panied by crackling sounds. A deli:
cate heat instrument was theri con
nected, and after careful calculations
he found that t a distance of only
one mile beneath the great gas cavity
a fire was raging at a temperature of
nearly 3,500 degrees. ?
So astonished was he at this dis
covery that he was not disposed to
believe that it could be so. Again
and again b observed, - alwaysr with
the same results. Not satisfied; with
making the.; observations at one poirt
he took several within a radius;; of 3
miles and his first observations were
completely confirmed, lie sayf that
about 1,200 feet below the city of
Findlay lies an immense cavern, be-'
side which the Mammoth Cave shriKks
into smallrjess. It is several ;mUes
long, and in some places more': than
half a mile deep. ; This is crowded
full of gas. Which is under a pressure
almost inconceivable. Then oihe
several strata of rock, perhaps & mue
in thickness, and then this great in
ternal fire. ! i
He says he discovered sometbiog
of the nature of the st rata that lies
between the gas cavity and the .fires.
It is at first solid rock, impervious
aad firm; beneath this lies a treat
mass of soft and crumbling stone,
badly formed and full cf fissures then
another layer oi considerable thick
ness, equal to the first layer in hard
ness and solidity. The last of these
layers, which lies directly ove the
fires, is melting away. About 10 miles
from Findlay, on either side, it is of
great thickness, but as the town is
neared it thins.- The furnace beneath
is disintegrating it, and ever leesefa-
ing the barrier between itself and the
well. From Ibe tremendous cracking,
which is to be heard by means of the
sound instrument, it is almost certain
that the disintegration is going on
with great rapidity, and the professor
seems to think an early catas
not only possible but ptobable.

Wianiitoro, Aug- 2 Sesiti.
The presiding officer announced tlx
appointment of the select commit!.
under Mr. Hoar's resolution, m i
commerce and business between li -United
States and Canada, a folio rn:
Senators Hoar, Allison, Hale, D !pli.
Pugh, Eqstis and Blodgett,
A conference committee was or Ji r
ed on the Naval appropropria ion
bill, and Senators Hale, Farwetl and
Beck were appointed conferees on the
part of the Senate.
Among the bills reported from com
mittee and placed on the calendar
was the following : House bill grant
ing right bt way to the Birmingham
and Mobile Railway Company through
tho Fort; Morgan military reserva
tion, i
Mr. Beck moved to proceed to the
consideration of bills on the calendar
in regular order. I
Mr. Sherman moved to proceed to
the consideration of the fisheries
treaty in open executive session.:
The latter motion was agreed to,
yeas 24, nays 22, (a strict party vote)
and the fisheries treaty was taken up,
the question being on Mr. Morgan s
motion to postpone its further con
sideration till December nexr.
Mr. Riddlebergr said that the vote
just taken had settled conclusively
the only question that could posisbly
be in controversy from this time on
in reference to the treaty, and that
was that the Republican party of this
country was opposed to ratification
of the treaty and that the Democrat
ic party was in f a or of it. It was
being considered as a party question
on the other side of the Atlantic
Ocean, and it was proper to consider
it as such on this Bide. When he
offered the resolution some months
ago to consider the tieaty in open
session he bad in ma hands docu
ments whioh gave him the right to
judge that this Was a representative
English or pro-Englisn government.
He did not propose to discuss ; the
treaty in its details.. He proposed to
tiing it to the attention of the ? en-
ate as a question which concerned the
people of this country outside of
catching and curing fish. If it; in
volved that question only he would
defer to the wishes of representa
tives of the eastern section in both
houses. It concerned not only rthe
people of the whole Atlantic coast,
but also the people on the coast of
Chesapeake bay, because Judge
Levy Woodbury; a Democratic jurist
of acknowledged eminence, had given
ii as his opinion that, tmderthe 12th
article of the treaty, Canadian fisher
men would have the right to partici
pate in all coast, bay, sound and river
fisheries of the States; and that
Congress, or the United Stales,
would be precluded from passing any
laws on the subject without eon-
sent of the British government.
He (Mr. Biddleberger) would be fril
ling to risk; the whole case on that
one opinion. And so the Democratic
Dartv in the Sena'e proposed to (five
away the last vestige of the right of
the States to protect their interests
against Great "Britain and against
Canadian fishermen.
Mr. Morgan proceeded to address
the Senate. The remarks which ' he
proposed to submit were, he said, in
reference to the phase of the case
covered by his Opinion of the Senate
treaty. It was properly autheati
cated and lawful and valid, and
the time, had' not passed for lie
crotiation on the subject of fisheries
The country was already advised by
the action of a caucus of the Repub
lican party . that the treaty was
doomed to defeat and the purpose of
his resolution was to save to the gov
eminent of the United States as good
an attitude as possible alter toe re
jection of the treaty, li he were opJ
posed to the treaty and believed it to
be a sacrifice ox the honor and infer
ests of the people of the United States,
he would nevertheless insist on the
adoption off his resolution for the
purpose of disembarrassing the fu
tu re diplomatic or other relations of
the United States and Great Britain,
and providing the ; means by which
the two governments could get in ac
cord. He could not conceive of a
more unfortunate situation than lor
the government of the 'United States
to make the declaration (as proposed
in the majority report of the com
mittee on foreign; relations): first,
that the fisheries relations of the two
countries were not a fit subject for
negotiation, and secondly, that the
time for negotiation bad passed, tie
did not believe in either of these
statements. The country would re
ceive such a declaration with very
serious doubt. He desired by a vote
of the Senate to free : the question
from any such unnecessary embar
rassment as that- If it was desired
to reject the treaty soltdo, without
attempting to improve it or to reform
it by amendments, ; let it be so jte
lected, but let that rejection be ac
companied with the declaration (made
necessary by the. majority report)
that the time for negotiation bad not
.passed, and that the subject was a
proper one for negotiation, it was
very important that there should be
negotiations on the subject of tbe
great fisheries of the Northwest. If
the declaration proposed by the ma-'
jerity of the committee on fore gn,
relations were made by the Senate, i
what reply could Great Britain be
expected to make in regard to those
Northwestern fisheries which it was
now so necessary should be regulated
by the treaty agreements T ;
Proceeding to discuss the question
in detail, Mr. Morgan was so fre
quently interrupted by Republican
Senators that the discussion became
a colloquial debate between Messrs.
Morcan, Hoar. Teller and -Evarts.
Mr. Teller obtained the floor and the
Senate resumed legislative business
After the passage of. a tew raimpdr-
I tent bills on the calendar- and a bsief
1
executive session the Senate ad
journed.
HOUSE.
On motion of Mr. Dibble, of South
Carolina, the Senate resolution was
passed authorizing the Secre'ary of
War to investigate and report the
amount due to the State of South
Carolina for rent of the Citadel in
Charleston.
The Senate amendments ' to the
House bill providing for an apprais
ers' warehouse in New Yoi k city were
noq-concurre 1 in and a conference
was ordered.
Mr. Outhwaite, of O do, made an
effort to aeoure consideration of the
Senate bill to enable the Executive
Department to participiU in the
Columbus (Ohio) Expomt'on, but a
demand for the regular order made
by Mr. Oates, of Alabam ., upciat d
as an objection.
The Senate amendments to h. army
appropriation bill were tten corirurr- d
in and a conference or It red.
The House then went into commit
tee of the whole on th ddcievcy
appropriation bill.
Mr. Hovey, of Indiana, cffnied a
formal amendment in order to get lb
floor and reply to the Bpeecli of Mr.
Mstson, of Indiana, prmted in tLe
Congressional Record f Sunday last,
upon the subject of peDsionn, which
speech, Mr. Hovey said, ha 1 not bnbii
delivered in the House.
Mr. Hovey s speech started a long
debate upon tho question, "Which of
the political parties had been most
liberal in its dealings with the Boldiers
of the late war ? "
In reolv to Mr. Uovev's claim that
the Republican party alone was enti
tled to credit in this respect, Mr.
McKinney, of New Hampshire, said
that during (he three years the pres
ent administration had been in power
the Union soldiers had received
greater consideration than they had
ever received in a like period during
the years of Republican administra
tion. Every intelligent man knew
that to be tine, but for party pur
poses the itepubiicans naa per
verted lac's and sent broadcast
the assertion that the present admin
istration, and the party which sup
ported it were the enemy of the Union
sold er. During the last three years
of V Republican administration tbe
total number of pension claims issued
was 191,221. During the three years
of Democratic administration these
claims numbered 359,454. The Re
publican administration in three
years disbursed $18,393,000. In
three years the Democratic adminis
tration disbursed $21,399,000. This
did not indicate that the soldiers had
suffered under the Democratic admin
istration. He then defended ' the
President from the charge of being
an enemy of the soldier. He had
during his term of office signed 1,204
private bill, as against 1,524 signed
by all the Republican Presidents,
from Lincoln to Arthur. He had
sighed bills carrying general pension
legislation which applied to 144,360
persons, and he had vetoed otfly the
dependent pension bill, and in tnat
veto he was sustained by the soldiers
themselves He (McKinney) miin-
tained that President Cleveland had
really been much more considerate of
the rights of the soldier than had
Congress. He did not believe that
these pension bills were thoroughly
examined by the committees. A Re
publican Representative . had con
fessed to him that President Cleve
land was right in nine cases out of
ten; when he vetoed the private pen
sion bills. The President had not
been unmindful of the claims of sol
diers. Sixteen out of seventeen pen
sion agents appointed by him were
soldiers and he had signed bills for
the; retirement of very many of the
war generals. So'diers had been re
moved from oEice,Republican soldiers,
but' their places had been filled with
Democratic soldiers. Mr. McKinney
then declared that no rebel rlsgs had
been returned except by Republi
cans and referred in that connection
to Adjutant General Drum whose let
ter to the President on the subject
he proposed to have printed in the
Kecord.
Mr. Cutcheon, of Michigan, reply
ing to Mr. McKinney asserted that
every pensioner on the rolls was there
bv 'virtue of Republican legislation
ana that not a name naa been aaaea
by (he Democratic party except those
persons whose names had been re
n.a. ml 111
stored to the rolls after partici
pation in rebellion against the gov
ernment. . All pension legislation
with that single exception was
of i Republican origin. Touching
on the subject of battle flags, Mr
Cutcheon criticised the President's
action in issuing an order for their ro
turn, and declared that tbe President
had, been forced to rescind it by the
voice of the great loyal North, which
had -come thundering down upon him
like, a cyclone. He (Cutcheon) had
never heard that anybody in the late
Confederacy had asked for the return
of tpose nags. The Confedrates had
defended their flags with courage and
blood and life, and when the nag
went down those who had fought un
der it accepted the situation and
never asked for the return of their
flags. A flag meant something.
The' flag that floated over the
Speaker's desk meant something
It meant home, order, law and liber
ty ; i it meant children and km
dred. That was what those who fol
lowed it fought for. What did the
the other flag mean t It meant the
doctrine of secession, and the men
who' had followed it sai2 that that
doctrine was dead. It meant that
those who supported it were against
the constitution. Were they against
it no? If the flags bad been returned,
what would have been done with
them t It was better that they should
rot and be moth eaten in the attics of
the War Department building j than
be returned to the hands of the men
who had bravely borne them. They
could never mean again what ; they
had once meant, and the Republican
party did not propose that these
svmbols of disunion and war upon
the constitution should ever go back
into the hands of those who I bore
them on the battle-field. ;
The consideration of the bill -was
then resumed and for some time ran
smoothly until Mr. Dockery of i Mis
souri precipitated!, brief tariff de-
be, to by a few remarks on the subject
of the surplus. During its progress
Mr. Bynum of Indiana, ,said that he
was not violating any of the confiden
ces of the committee room in stating
that when the Mills bill was being
consdered in the committee, a gen
tleman from Pennsylvania (Kefley)
had made a motion to repeal the en
tire tobacco tax.
On that motion Messrs. Kelley and
Reed voted in the affirmative. Messrs.
McKinley, Urowne and Burrows voted
against it.
He cited this as showing that the
majority of the Republicans, as rep
resented in the committee, were not
in fvor of the repeal of the tobacco
tax.
Mr. Dingley declared that if the
tobacco provision of the Mills bill
had been put into a separate bill it
could have been passed at any time.
Mr. Compton, of Maryland, as a
representative of a tobacco growing
district, announced his readiness to
meet the issue squarely in his district
in support of the Milln bill.
Pending further debate the com
mittee rose, and the House, at five
o'clock, adjourned.

Bt Telegraph to the News nd Observer.
Chicago, Aug 2 A dispatch from
i'oneka, Kansas, says Attorney Gen
eral Bradford returned last night
from Stevens county where he went
to investigate the massacre of Sheriff
tJross and his hve deputies. He ex
amined a large number of people in
different towns and all the eye witness
es of the affair. The testimony is unani
mous tnat dross and ms party ar
rived at the camp tired and worn out;
that they asked permission of the
haymakers to lie down and rest; and
that they were sleeping and appro-
nending no danger wnen tney were
suddenly surrounded by Robinson
and h'B men and shot down without
having any chance to defend them
selves. All three of theBe witnesses
say that not one shot was fired by
sheriff uross or any one of his men.
General Bradford has gathered a
large amount of testimony which he
will submit to the Governor. General
Myers found that no troops were
needed and so the mission oi tbe two
officials is ended for the present.
Business is reported to be at a stand
still at Hngotown and Woodsdale.
Everybody is armed and ready for an
attack-and waiting to hear from Gov.
Martin. The Governor has appointed
a new . sheriff for Stevens county in
place of the one killed and both
towns have submitted a name from
their respective plac a to Gen. Brad
ford. But it is not likely that either
one will be appointed as that will not
facilitate peace. Robinson, who shot
the nve men, is reported as taking
things coolly.

By Telegraph t the News auil Observer.
Chicago, August 2. The following
is the account furnished by the local
press bureau of the labor maeting of
yesterday:
A conference of the executive com
mittees of the Union and the United
Labor parties was held here this even
ing to see if some settlement of their
disagreements could not be reached.
J. W. Goihorn of West Virginia, W.
W. Jones of Camargo, Von Schilling
of Milwaukee and half a dozen other
representatives of the Union Labor
party were present. The United La
bor people proposed to divide the
electors in the States be ween the
parties. Tbe proposition was refused.
They then offered to withdraw their
ticket from half the States if the
Union Labor party would do the
same. This was hkowise declined.
The United Labor party representa
tives then agreed to withdraw both
ticKcts and nominate in joint con
vention a new one. This was re
fused and the Union Labor m
demanded as a basis oi compromise
nothing less than a complete with
drawal of the United Labor party
candidates without conditions, and
their support of the Union Labor
party. The United Labor committee
bade them good day and withdrew
from the room.
Robert Cowdrey, the United Labor
party candidate for 1 resident of the
United States, has issued the follow
ing challenge to A; J. Streeter, the
candidate of the Union Labor party :
"There can bo no excuse for the
existence of two labor parties in this
country, and as all efforts to unite the
two parties have proved futile, I
hereby challenge you as the represen
tative of tihe Union Labor party to
meet me in friendly debate to sustain
the cla ms of your party that you have
a remedy that will curs the evils you
are complaining of, and on the show

A Portrait of Caswsll Wanted.
Cor. ol the News asd Observer;
Chapel Hill, N. C , Aug. 2, '88.
Messrs. Gay Bros & Co., of 34
Reade street, New York city, have
now in ihe hands of the printer a
work entitled "The Great Republic
of the West, Its StateB and Territo
ries," by Benson J.. Lossing, LL. D.,
the eminent and accomplished histo
rian, l ney sees to give among oiner
illustrations the portrait of the first
Governor of each State and Territory.
Of tbe forty-eight wanted, they now
have thirty eight. Among those still
unfound is that, of Richard Caswell,
the first Governor of North Carolina
nnder the constitution of 1776.
The services of this man to his
adopted State were so many and so
varied that his life, history and his fea
tures should not be allowed to sink
into forgetf ulness. 'Born in Marylanl
August 3, 1729,he came to North Caro
lina in his seventeenth year and began
a career which was bounded only by
the State's power to give and the
length of life to receive. If any per
son knows of the existence oi any
portrait of any kind of Gov. Caswell,
either in the possession of private
parties or in a public institution, it is
earnestly requested that they corre
spond with me at once in regard to
the same. Perhaps Dr. R. H. Lewis,
of Kinston, to whom so much is due
for his aid in the erection of the Cas
well monument there, may be able to
throw light on the subject; or Mr
Henry R. Bryan, of New Berne, who
is a distant connection, I think; of
Gov. Caswell (Caswell's second wife
being Sarah Heritage), may possibly
aid us.
James Pinckney Henderson, the
first Governor of Texas, was a native
of North Carolina, and belonged to
the same family as Hon. John 8. Hen
derson, now Representative in Con
gress from the seventh 'district. He
was also Attorney General of Texas,
Secretary of State, her minister to
France and EnglandJMajor-General
of her forces in the Mexican war and
Senator in Congress, where he died
m 1858. If any person knows of an
o 1 painting or a photograph of this
distinguished Carolinian they will
confer a' real public benefit in thus
aiding the praiseworthy attempt to
preserve the features and likenesses of
the first Governors m a complete gal
lery of portraits, something that has
never before been attempted, and will
be more difficult as the years roll by,
as well as more apprecia'ed.

IT8 FIRST VICTIM CUT IN TWAIN.

Tatlobsville, N. C, Aug. 1.
Oar railroad killed its first victim
last night, three quarters of a mile
east of tbe depot, running over the
body of Calvin Bogle who had been
to a bar-room, two miles down the
railroad and it is supposed laid down
on the trace or attempted to get
aboard the train while it was in mo
tion His body was cut in two. The
engineer did not know that he had
run over any ore. The section hands
poiDtr out before the train left came
back and reported the body found
Bogle was a large man about 40 years
old and leaves a wife and two chil
dren. He was a bard working man
but would get drunk. He has been
working at a saw-mill near town for
some few weeks.

Wilmington, August 1.
As the encampment is now num
bered with the things of tbe past,
those having the firemen's tourna
ment in band are actively engaged in
raising funds and perfecting arrange
ments. Every white fire company in
tbe State has teen invited to attend
and the prizes offered will be substan
tial purses. The tournament or con
test will take place about the 18th
inst, and last for four days.
From the auditor of the Seaooast
Railroad it is learned that 30,000 per
sons went over the road during tbe
encampment. It is estimated that
the steamboats of the lower Cape
Fear squadron transported between
14,000 and 15 000 souls, the larger
number going to Carolina Beach.
The Burgaw & Onslow Railroad
appears to be a fixed fact. This road
will be a spur track of the Wilming
ton & Weldon of about thirty-five
miles in length and will doubtless
prove a valuable feeder to the W. &
W. railroad and Wilmington. It will
put the valuable and almost exLaust
less oyster beds of New River in easy
reaching distance, besides it will
handle much of the corn crop of the
eastern counties, and its route lies
through as fine timbered lands as can
bo found.

The Inand P aca Hotel is doing a
fine, business, and notwithstanding
the fact that the building is not yet
finished, its guests prefer to pat up
with some little inconveniences rather
than leave. The beautiful oak grove
is quite an attraction to many; in
fact, an oak grove almost, in a stone's
throw of the ocean is a very unsual
thing. Outside fishing is very fine
and much fun is bad by those who
are fond of trolling, while pole and
line nshing never was better.
In a short time blue fish will be at
their best, and it is the opinion of old
fishermen that the waters surround

It is rather late to talk of the En

the oompliments paid by our ladies to
the Governor s Uuard and tbe enco

would pardon my tardy allusions. I
think each one of " the bovs in Green
suits and white helmets" carried back
a heart dangling from his belt, but it
was not exactly right for the married
men of the company to fool the poor
girls as. they did. If the members of
the Governor's Guard enjoyed their
visit as much as our people enjoyed
their society, then there can be no
question as to the impression they
took away with them. General Jones

The country ought to take note of
the barbarity of the couutv seat war
in Kansas. It is atrocious that citi
zens should shoot each other down in
their anxiety to have their own par
ticular real investments boomed by
being selected for court-house sites.
An investigating committer, with
Senator "Bill" Chandler at its head,
should start West at Once to put an
end to the shameful doings in bleed
