It developed Wednesday" that tho two hundred employes of the Ports- oum ivianuiactunngUompany, South Berwick, Me.: had not be II lmiil till ii- ries for mi weeks when the mills closed "own last week. After making a thorough investiga tion of the conditions existing amontr me employes of the rullman company who participated in the recent boycott and strike, Governor Altgeld has is sued an appeal to the people of Illinois or relief. in wniHKy trust lias succeeded in borrowing all the money it needs for the present and on Wednesday depos ited over $1,000,000 in one of"the city banks of Peoria, 111. This was bor rowed in small lots and partios ore of fering the trust money in all direc tions. The spinners at the Standard Spin ning Company's works, Fall River, went out on a strike Wednesday re fusing to work under a further reduc tion. They have been working at lower wages than are usually paid in mills' where colored hosiery yarns tiro made. Four hundred weavers in the China mills at Suncock, N. II., did not go to work Thursday because of the reduc tion in wages, equal to the cut-down in the Fall River mills. Wages paid at the China mills are governed by the scale paid in Fall River, and the operatives were accordingly notified of a ten per cent, cut-down Tmsday. Tho triennial convocation of the gen eral grand chapter of the United States Royal Arch Masons was held at the Masonic temple- at Topeka, Kas., Wednesday.

A dispatch of Wednesday to the Central News, London, from Shang hai states that advices have been re ceived there from Chemupo to the effect that some unimportant skir mishes have taken place on the great road north of Pongsan between tho Chinese and Japanese forces. The po sition of the Japanese troops is un changed, and all the passes are strongly held by Japanese soldiers. General officers of the Illinois Cen tral railroad have given out informa tion that after September 1st that road will own and control tho Chesapeake, Ohio and Southwestern, and would run its fast passenger and freight trains from New Orleans to Chicago through Memphis over the Yazoo and Missis sippi Valley and the Chespeake and Ohio, abandonkig the route for fast trains through Jackson, Miss., and Jackson, Tenn. Wabash freight train No. 97, in chargo of Conductor William Bryant and Engineer Charles Charlws Felt.m, which left Johnsburg, Mo., Wednes day night, just ahead of the Kansas City express, ran into a herd of horses two miles west of the town and was badly wrecked.

Applications from individual exhib itors from Morocco, Ceylon and San Francisco for space at tho Atlanta ex position were received and filed in the exposition office Thursday morning. It is probable that all of the foreign exhibitors which were at the World's Fair will come to Atlanta. They will have new exhibits, however, and the exposition authorities will see that all of their displays are new and not re productions of the exhibits at the World's Fair. The Tokio, Japan, correspondent telegraphs that the court of inquiry which has been investigating at Shan ghai the circumstances of the sinking of the Chinese transport Kow-Shung by the Japanese warship Nauiwa, has returned a decision holding that the action of the Japanese commander iu firing upon the transport was justified, and that, therefore, the Japanese gov ernment will not be called upon to make any compensation for the de struction of the vessel.

The window glass manufacturers of Indiana met at Anderson Wednesday afternoon to consider the wage scale for the next year. There were repre sentatives from thirty glass manufac turing towns, where G.000 men are employed. The manufacturers named representatives to meet the wage com mittee at Pittsburg and announce that the Indiana manufacturers must have a 30 jnr cent, reduction. Tho local glaisworkerd say it will never bo agreed to. They aro demanding a 20 pir cent, advance in some branches. The American Bur Association, of which Judge Thomas M. Cooley, of Ann Arbor, Mich,, is president, began its seventeenth nnuual meetiug at Sar atoga, N. Y, Wednesday morning. 'I he president's addrm was read. It was very lengthy and he commented on tho most noteworthy changes in statutory law on points of general in terest which have been made in the several states and by congress during the preceding year.

SOUTHERN SPECIALS NOTING THIS MOST INTERESTING OCCURRENCES OF THE DAY. And Presenting an Epitome of the South's Progress and Prosperity. A Nashville, Tenn., dispatch says: Henry Clay Evans, of Chattanooga, ex-congressman from the third dis trict, has been made the republican nominee for governor, after one of tho most prolonged and bitter contests ever witnessed in a republican conven tion.. The Tennessee River, Ashevillo and Coosa railroad was sold at auction at Birmingham, Ala., for $14,000. Tho road was bid in by James Little for J. E. Zunts, trustee for the bondholders. The line runs from Whitney to Ashe ville, a distance of four and a half miles. Tho road will now bo com pleted from Asheville to Anderson. One of tho heaviest rainstorms and rainfalls that Alabama has ever expe rienced passed across the state Wed nesday, doing irreparable damage to tho cotton crop. The young cotton was beaten oh" tho plant and cotton that had opened was knocked down on the ground. No casualties were reported. Telegraph communication south was cut off, tho wires being down. A terrible accident happened on the Paducah, Tennessee and Alabama rail road Wednesday evening. As tho northbound train was nearing Hazel, Ky., about fifteen miles north of Paris, in passing a crossing it struck a wagon loaded with people and five of the occupants met their death.

A distressing accident occurred near Baton Rouge, La., Thursday, which resulted in the death of three estima ble young ladies, and which has cast a gloom over the entire capital. The unfortunates were Misses Mar Leo Read, Belle Chambers and Elenore Garland. The young ladies were bathing in the Amite river, when one of their number got beyond her depth. She screamed and the other two went to her assistance, and all of them were lrowned. UNCLE SAM INSULTED. mericau Citizens Arrested by the Nicaraguans. From information received on the steamer Gussie, of the Southern Pa cific line, which vessel arrived at New Orleans Friday night, the Nicaraguan government has defied the govern ments of both the Lmted States and Great Britain, and has taken into cus tody representatives of both nations. The commanders of the war vessels which have been at the seat of the disturbance for the past month, have stood tamely by and permitted the soldiers of Nicaragua to arrest the subjects of their respective countries and made no protest, and the conse quence of this apathy may be the loss of possibly a dozen lives and the con fiscation of the property of the pris onets. Love vour enemies, for often vou mav profit by the truth they tell about you. TnmTnrvin a "PROVE ALL TniNGS, AND HOLD FAST TO THAT HALLS OF CONGRESS DAILY PROCEEDINGS OF BOTH HOUSE AND SENATE. What Our National Law-Makers are Doing for the Country. In the house, Tuesday, Mr. Boatner eadeavored to secure the immediate consideration of Senator Hill's anti anarchist bill, but Mr. Warner, of New York, objected 60 strennously that the bill went over. The consid eration of Mr. Hoar's anti-lottery bill was prevented by objection from Mr. Davey, of Louisiana. The house then adjourned until Thursday. About fifty members were present when the houee- met ""Thursday morn ing. A number of senate bills were laid before the house and several passed. Mr. Cummings, chairman of the committee of naval affairs, pre sented a report of the committee's in vestigation of alleged frauds in tho manufacture of armor plate. At 1:10 the house adjourned. The house at Friday's session passed a joint resolution providing for the adjournment of the present session of congress at 2 o'clock p. m. Tuesday, August 28th. Another effort was made, also unsuccessfully, to consider the Hill bill for the exclusion and depor tation of alien auarchists. An amend ment had been agreed upon by the ad vocates of tho measure, and those members who had previously antago nized it, defining an anarchist to bo a person who advocates the destruction by force of all governments or of the government of the United States. This satisfied the ' objections heretofore made, but Mr. English, of New Jersey, entered an objection, and tho bill again went over this time probably finally - for this session. Two or threo un important measures were passed and after a session of an hour, the house adjourned until Monday. THE 8ENATK. When the senate met Wednesday morning 21 senators were present less than half of a quorum. Upon a later call 32 answered. Mr. Harris moved that absentees bo sent for, and this was agreed to. At 1 :20 o'clock a quorum was securod and the senate went into executive session. The ex ecutive session lasted but a few min utes, and at 1 :40 the senate adjourned until Thursday. Immediately after wards a long list of confirmations of presidential nominations to minor of fices were made public. Even before the reading of Wednes day's journal the absence of a quorum in the senate Thursday morning was pointed out by Mr. Manderson and the roll was called, showing the pres ence of thirty-three senators, ten less than a quorum. Mr. Harris moved that the sergeant at arms bo directed to request the presence of absent sena tors, but Pasco and Cockrell pointed out that the order made Thursday was still in forco and the latter asked that the report of the sergeant at arms be read. This was done aud reported that of forty-two senators who had failed to answer to their names the previous day only two were in tho city and one of these, Mr. Voorhees, was too ill to attend. The others were tel egraphed to attend immediately. Up to 12:30 o'clock thirty-five senators had responded. At that hour it being apparent that a quorum could not bo secured, upon mo tion of Mr. Harris, the sergeant-at-arms was directed to compel the atten dance of the absent senators. This, it is said, will not amount to anything as the sergeant-at-arms has always and now refuses to arrest the senators, and bring them before the bar of the senate, unless he is given a warrant for their arrest. The senate has al ways likewise refused to issue its war rant. As a matter of fact, a quorum could be obtained if all the republi cans would vote, as there are a number about the building who have so far declined to enter the chamber. At 1 :18, tho senate, pending tho ex ecution of an order to compel the members to attend, adjourned un til Friday. This was owing to the fact that it was de monstrated to bo impossible to get a quorum. Executive clerk, Prudcn, reached the capitol at 1:15 with some important nominations, but owing to the absence of a quorum they could not be laid before the senate. They were takeu back to the white house. The session of the senate Friday lasted until 1:25 o'clock p. m., and then adjourned until Monday. The general public was excluded from the chamber during all but four minutes of the session, the remainder of the time being spent behind closed doors. There was no test as to whether or not a quorum of the senators was actually present, and in fact, matters were so arranged in advance by mutual agree ment that the question did not arise. The matters discussed in secret were not exclusively of an executive char acter. On tho contrary, eight or ten bills (three of them bridge bills) were taken from the calendar and passed, and the concurrent resolution for the final adjournment of congress on Tues day at 2 o'clock p. m. was laid before the senate and was passed without a word of opposition and without a vote in the negative. The senate then, at 1 :25 o'clock, adjourned until Monday. Thirty-Seven Miners Dead. A dispatch received from Franklin, Wash., 6ays a fire in the sixth level of a mine Friday afternoon imprisoned all the men working there. Thirty seven corpses had been brought to the surface up to 4 o'clock p. m. If young men would think of the re sult before beginning to take the first drink, very few would take it. Times. t WHICH IS GOOD' LATEST DISPATCHES GIVING THE NEWS UP TO THE HOUR OF GOING TO PRESS. A Brief Summary of Daily Happen lngs Throughout the World. The national league for the abolition of the house of lor'ds made a demon stration in Hyde park, London, Sun day. It had been much advertised and was expected to be an imposing affair, but it was a fiasco. Hardly ten thousand persons were present. Shortly afternoon Friday an explo sion of gas took place in the works of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company's colliery, at Gil berton, Pa., by which one man was killed, one fatally injured and nine others more or less seriously burned. The United States steamship Charles ton sailed from Vallejo.Cal., for China, via Honolulu, Sunday. The Philadel phia docks in a day or two. ,The Ben nington is now being fumigated. Sev eral of the crew have been allowed their liberty and there is evidently no serious malady aboard. A dispatch to the London Times from Lima, Peru, says that a band of six hundred insurgents, armed with Winchester rifles, is reported to be moving northward on the southern frontier. The government has sent further reinforcements south and a collision is daily expected. Saturday tho Pythian camp on the monument grounds, in Washington, D. C, was formally turned over by the citizens' committee to Major Gen eral Carnahan, commander-in-chief of the order. All the tents have been erected, and everything is in readiness there for the visiting organization. In the face of a general belief in the magnificent condition of the cotton crop, The Garland Neivs pub lished in the heart of the cotton region of Dallas county, Texas, states that in that section half of the cotton crop has been destroyed by boll worms, and if the showers continue, the crop is likely to be entirely destroyed. Tho democratic ticket, so far as nominated by the California state con vention is as follows : Governor, James H. Budd ; lieutenant governor, William T. Jeters ; justice of the supreme court (long term), Jackson Temple and James E. Muiphy; justice of the su preme court (short term), E. A. Bridge ford; secretary of state, Ben M. Mad dox ; attorney general, A. B. Parris. Tho stir among the coal miners at Belt, Mont., has ended with the com pany's closing down all its mines com pletely and permanently. The pumps have been drawn, the stores and hotels closed and all the contracts for ma chinery canceled. Work on the rail road branches has also been abandon ed. About 400 men are thus thrown out of employment. Fire broke out Saturday night in the commission house of Jones, Lee & Co., Norfolk, Va. , and communicated to three adjoining buildings stored with pea nuts and cotton. The fire department has recently been reorganized and fought the flames savagely, keep ing the loss down to $50,000, al though at one time it looked as if tho whole block would go. The property destroyed was fully covered by insur ance. There were no new developments in the industrial situation at New Bed ford, Mass., Friday. After one full week the trouble is no nearer a solu tion than it was tho day it started. The Bristol, Pierce, Acushnet, Hatha way and Potowamat have paid off their help to the last cent. Tho Wamsutta will pay for stock in the looms Mon day. What money the operatives have they are husbanding with great care and preparing for a long struggle. Four miners in the Amethyst mine at Crede, Col., were literally bruised, burned and boiled to death Friday morning. The shaft caught fire from a candle and so great was the heat that the wire cablo holding the ship was melted, and the huge iron cage, heated to a red heat, fell to the bottom of the shaft, carrying with it the four men who were on the ladders. It will take a day or to recover tlje bodies. The loss on the mills and machinery will be about $20,000. At Birmingham, Ala., the conclu sioa of the preliminary trial of 120 miners, for participation in the Pratt Mines riot was reached Friday. The tiial was in progress for more than three weeks and during that time about GOO were examined. Out of the 120 tried, 95 were turned loose. Ten are held without bond and fifteen were allowed bonds. There is strong evi dence against the ten that have not been allowed bond and there is a probability that they will stretch hemp. CYCLONE IN RUSSIA. . A Thousand Lives Lost Whole Vil lages Demolished. A cable dispatch from St. Peters burg, Russia, says: A terribly disas trous cyclone swept along the shores of the sea of Azoff Saturday, doing immense damage. Iu some instances entire villages were swept into the sea. Many steamers were sunk or driven ashore and wrecked, and it is believed that at least one thousand persons perished. Buck Kilgore Defeated.

Olff GOODS -AXM TM BEST Our Pac&the lowST Sacrifices to the Sea. To the adventurous globe-trotter who has climbed the rock-path to the sailor's church of Notre Dame de la Garde, dominating the Hienician port of Marseilles, the potent influence of sacrifices and offerings for perils passed and to come must be no old story, says Lieutenant J. I). Jcrrold Kelley, in describing "The -Superstitions of the Sea," in the Century. There is a pathos, even for the wordly, in the quaint ships and gal leons, in the rusting marlinspikes and shattered tiller heads, swinging to the mistral, in reverential offering before the shrines. These graces after danger.these insurances against evil to come, circle the world. No people have escaped the influence of such hopes and thanks. Our Indians were fettered by them, and no cere monious offerings were more com mon tbnn those which went to ap pease the angry Spirit of the Waters. On the upper tributaries of the Miss issippi, the Indians, with occult rites, gave tribute of tobacco from it beet ling cliff to the (Jreat Spirit of the River, and to the winds that smote the water with blasts from the cav erns of the jealous gods. Algonquin in the North, Aztecs, sons of Ata hualpa and Marco Oapac, in tho South all blew incense out of their pipes, and strewed upon the currents and tide-ways just such offerings of tobacco as, in our more subjective days, we give with lost meaning tothe minor gods who rule the man's hour in our feasts.
