J. Diaz, an American citi- zen and minister of the gospel. PERSONNEL OF THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. Mr. Power offered a resolution (which was agreed to) calling on the Secretary of the In- terior for information as to the personnel of es geological survey, its duties, compensation, THE CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILROAD RESOLUTION PASSED. ‘The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Cul- lom as to transportation of goods in bond between the Atlantic and Pacifie ports of the United States over the Canadian Pacific rail- road was taken up. Mr. Washburn offered an amendment ex- tending the scope of the inquiry to the Grand Trunk railway, He intimated his suspicion that the object ofthe resolution was to make war upon the Canadian Pacific railroad. Mr. Cullom disclaimed having any such in- tention or any motive except to ascertain the facta in the case and to know whether the law ought to be changed. He accepted Mr. Washburn's amendment, The resolution as amended was agreed to. A resolution to pay to the representatives of ex-Senators Johnston and Lewis (Va.) $4,400 each for unpaid salary from the time they were entitled to seats up to the time they were sworn in was reported and agreed to. THE EXPULSION OF MR. HOLLANDER FROM GUAT- EMALA. Mr. Payne offered a resolution, which was agreed to, calling on the President for infor- mation as to the expulsion from Guatemala of J. H. Hollander, a citizen of the United States. FOR A PUBLIC BUILDING AT BALTIMORE. Senate bill to provide for the acquisition of land for a public building at Baltimore, Md., was taken from the calendar and passed. It appropriates $30,000 for an additional plot of ground, so as to make the government the owner of the entire square on which the cus- tom house stands, and requires the i aration of plans and estimates for a publie building. The Senate bill extending the time of pry ment to purchasers of land of the Omaha tril of Indians in Nebraska was also taken from the calendar and paseed. PROPOSED PENSION TO MAS, FREMONT. Mr. Teller introduced a bill giving « pension of $2,000a year to Mrs, Gen. Fremont. Re- fered to the committee on pensions, Mr. Sawyer introduced a bill to establish a limited postal and telegraph service. Referred to the post office committee. SECRET SESSION. On motion of Mr. Hiscock the Senate at 1 o'clock proceeded to executive business, NATIONAL PARK AT CHIGKAMAUGA. ‘The doors were reopened st 1:30 p.m. On motion of Mr. Hawley House bill to establish a national military park at the battlefield of Mlosbewar was taken from the calendar and passed (with some minor amendments). THR SUNDRY CIVIL BILL, The Senate resumed consideration of the sundry civil appropriation bill, the pending amendment being to increase the appropri- ation for surveying the public lands from 200,00 to $600,000, The amendment was agreed to, TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEYS, he next araendment that provoked discus- sion was one increasing the item for topo- graphic surveys from %200,000 to $300,000 and adding these words: One-half of which sum shall be expended west of the ono hundred and first meridian and so much of the act of October 2, 1888, entitled “‘an act making appropriations for sundry civil expenses for the government for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1889,” provides for the section and loc tion of reservoirs and canals upon th pobie lands, and the reservation of navigable lands is hereby repealed: Provided, That reser- voir and canal sites heretofore located or se- lected shall remain segregated and reserved from entry or settlement until otherwise pro- vided by law. MR. VEST SEEKS INFORMATION, Mr. Vest inguired of Mr. Allison as to the ob- ject of the limitation. Mr. Allison replied that the object was to re- quire the director of the geological survey to extend his topographical work, that being the first step in ascertaining proper places for the location of reservoirs, &c. it had been thought that the director would be able in that way to use a considerable por- tion of the funds in establishing reservoirs under the regular appropriation for the geo- logical survey. IN DOUBT. Mr. Vest said that he supposed that that ras the object. With every disposition to do hat was right about the irrigation matter there was no public question of importance about which he was pba in doubt, He was not inclined, with all the observation and attention that he had been able to give to the subject, to go into the irrigation business to the extent proposed by its friends, He had very great doubt whether the system was practicable, and he had much greater doubt whether the results would justify the outlay. The discussion was continued by Messrs, Reagan, Stewart, Jones of Arkansas and others. IMPORTANT NOMINATIONS, Assistant Secretaries of the Treasury and Navy, Etc, The President today sent the following nominations to the Senate: Allured B, Nettleton, of Minnesota, to be an assistant secretary of the treasury.

Rufus fourth infantry, to be captain, NOMINATIONS CONFIRMED. The Five Appraisers of Merchabdise Among the Lucky Ones. _ The Senate at 1 o'clock went into executive session, on motion of Mr. Hiscock, for the pur- ‘pose of considering the nominations of the five appraisers of merchandise recently made by | The nominations were confirmed. The five general appraisers are: Charles H. Ham of Il- linois, James A. Jewell of New York, George HL Sharpe of New York, George C. Tichenor of the District of Columbia and Joseph B. Wil- kinson, jr., of Louisiana. The nomination of Thomas K. Irwin to ve [easel at Carthage, Mo., was also con- HOUSE. The journal having been read Mr. Breckin- ridge (Ky.) objected to ite approval, and the yeas and nays were ordered on the question, “Shall the journal be approved?” It was agreed to—yeas, 158; nays, & One hundred and twenty members were announced as paired on this vote. OMITTR FROM THE RECORD. Mr. Owens (Ohio) called attention to the col- loquy, which ocourred yesterday, between the gentlemen from Illinois and Tennessee (Cany non and ae | during which, he said, in their anger they had told some truths which were entirely omitted from the Record. He wanted to know whether the democrats could do the same thing. The Speaker—The chair is unable to re- spond. THE LAND GRANT FORFEITURE BILL. The House then went into committee of the whole (Mr. Peters of Kansas im the chair) on the land grant forfeiture bill. Mr, Stockdale (Miss.) advocated the bill as the best measure which could secure a passage through the Senate. The question was whether 7,000,000 acres should be forfeited now or none atall, If the House continued its policy of passing bills which the Senate would not pass the House would have consistency but the rail- roads would have the lands, Mr. Holman (Ind.) reviewed the land grant legislation of Congress and argued in favor of a forfeiture of all lands not earned within the time limited in the granting acts. ASSISTANT NAVAL SECRETARY. Prof. J. R. Soley Gets the Navy De- Partment Plum. Professor J. R. Soley, United States navy, who has been filling the office of librarian and chief of the bureau of war records at the Navy De- partment, having voluntarily resigned that po- sition, was today appointed assistant secretary of the navy, under the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill, at a salary of 4,500 per annum. Prof. Soley graduated at Harvard in 1870, became assistant professor of English in the United States Naval Academy in 1871, and in 1873 was placed at the head of the English stadies, history and law, where he remained nine years, In 1876 he was commissioned a Professor in the United States navy, and 1878 he was on special duty at the Paris exposition. He also examined the systems of education in European naval col- leges, and on his return made an extensive re- port, In 1882 he was transferred to Washing- ton, where he collected and arranged the Navy Department library, and since 1883 he has su- perintended the publication of the naval reo- ords of the civil war. ——— HE KNEW IT WAS BOGUS. What Editor Thomas Says About the Forgery of the President’s Name. Mr. R. H. Thomas, the secretary of the Penn- sylvania Editorial Association, now visiting this this city, is the editor of the Farmers’ Friend of Mechanicsburg, the gentleman who recently received a letter .discussing the tariff pur- Porting to be written by President Harrison in response to an invitation to visit a grange camp. He said tos Star rter this afternoon: “I knew that the letter was fraud as soon as I looked at it. There was no attempt to imitate the handwriting of the President and the whole thing was a palpable forgery on its face. I immediately sent out dis- patches announcing the fake and set an inquiry on foot that has resulted in a discov- ery of the perpetrator. He is a young man abouttwenty-one years of age, who seems to have @ fondness for this sort of thing. Once or twice before he bas made such fakes, and although he indignantly denies the authorship” ——here Mr. Thomas drew a letter from his pocket from the youthful fakir——*‘We have undeniable proof that he wrote the document.” The let- ter was signed J. Faber, jr.; and dated at a email town near Mechanicsburg. “No, there was no politics in the fraud,” con- tinued Mr. Thomas. “It was simply'a silly joke. Politics are not very lively yet in Penn- sylvania, but in about two weeks wo begin to see’ light through the darkness, It may be that the republicans can pull together and get into line on this fight, but I fear that they will not do it. If they don't look out they will lose the legislature. I think I smell another general upheaval.” EDITORS AT THE WHITE HOUSE. Pennsylvania Pen Drivers Shake Hands With the President Today. About one hundred and fifty Pennsylvanians, comprising the members of the Pennsylvania, Editorial Association, now in the city, called on the President at 1 o'clock today. The chief magistrate received them in the east room, after shaking hands with about three dozen regular callers. There were no speeches made, the members and the ladies accompanying them being in- troduced by Mr. W. A. Steele, president of the association, and Mr. R. H. Thomas, its secre- tary. The ceremony was brief, and at its con- clusion the parlors of the house were thrown open for the inspection of the visitors, THE W. C. T. U. BADGE. Mrs. Powell Asks That Enlisted Men be Allowed to Wear It. Mrs. Powell, local superintendent of the sol- diers’ and sailors’ brauch of the National Non- partisan W.C.T.U., called on Secretaries Proc- tor and Tracy today to ask their permission for the members of that organization, enlisted men in the United States service, to wear the button badge that has recently been adopted. It is a star in shape, about the size of a dime. No objection has yet been raivedin the army to the display of the badge, and Secretary Proo- tor said that he would look after the matter as son as there was any trouble.

Crecrxxatt, July 16.—Mr. Joseph Proctor, a well-known resident of Columbus, arrived in the city on the Pennsylvania train at midnight. He was an eye witness to the terrible explosion at King’s Mills, and gave a vivid account of the disaster. The gentleman was still “suffering from effects of his experience, and trembled visibly when talking. “I hardly know how I can describe the awful occurrence. I am still dazed from the effects of the shosk, I was visiting a friend near King’s Mills and during the afternoon saun- tered up the road to the cartridge factory. I inspected it thoroughly and chatted with some of the workmen for quite a while. When the freight train came along I started toward my friend's house, which is over the hill overlook- ing the works. In reaching the top of the hill I turned around just as the freight train was making a running switch to the side track. I saw a breakman on one of the cars as they shot onto the side track and he was wav- img his hand tosome one on the train As I looked I saw the two detached cars bump against what I supposed wasan empty car on the side track. THE GROUND SEEMED TO OPEN. “An instent later there was a rumbling noise and then the very ground beneath me seemed toopen. I saw a puff of smoke, followed a sec- ond later by another, and the cars disappeared. The station and a powder house and dwelling seemed to follow, and the work of destruction had only just commenced. All this occurred quicker than I relate it, and I stood rooted to the ground, I had an idea, of course, of what had occurred, but I could not realize it, I knew that many lives were going out, but I was powerless to lend any as- sistance. Then dense volumes of flame and smoke came pouring from the doors and win- dows of the cartridge factory, and I saw men, women and children tearing at each other in their frantic endeavors to escape. The explo- sion and the fire at the cartridge house seemed to be simultaneous, “The building did not catch on fire in an ordi- nary way, but the flames seemed to penctrate the doors and windows from all sides. Isawa number of the women come out, but some cer- tainly perished in the flames. A dwelling house below the cartridge house was blown from its foundation and dashed to the ground. In this building » mother and child lost their lives. TO THE RESCUE. “How long I stood I do notknow, but I man- aged to make my way to the scene and others in the neighborhood were also gathering. The scene wasone of the most awful I ever witnessed. The railroad tracks were twisted and torn like so much paper and the telegraph poles and wires were burned like so much tinder. A car load of coal about 60 feet distant caught fire and burned up. We got to work as soon as possible, andI know we got fully a dozen women and men from the powder house. There was not one but was injured or bruised. They seemed to be oblivious of the surroundings and I do not think they realized what had occurred. Some were bi and others were cut and bruised by the force of the explosion. To add to the terrible scene there was a constant snapping of the cartridges and the rescuers were in danger of being killed at any time. I do not want another such experience as long as I live, and I hope I never may wit- ness such another catastrophe. I don’t know how many were killed, but I am of the opinion that ten at least lost their lives. The number of wounded will be doubie that number.” THE DEATHSLIST.

Ex-Gov. J. B Foraker, the temporary chairman, was at once introduced and made an address. His speech was full of caustic criticism of the democratic arty. on said: “Through the mishaps of 1883 Henry B. Payne got the seat by purchase, which, had we carried the general assembiy that year, would have been given, without mouey and without price, to Charles Foster, During all this time, in consequence, we bare been represented by one Senator and one ver Heary B. cancy.

What are his views con- cerning any of the political questions of his time? Noboay knows, He never expressed He has no record. You will search im mn for any speech om any subject. It was ; it was not principles; it was pot oratory; it was not statesmanship, that com- mended him to democratic He never championed . % never defended anybody; he never represented any cause. He did not even live in Obio. But he had attributes that out weighed all these deticiencies. He was a grad- uate of Wall street, a five-times ceeap | with a reputation for never squandering any his wealth for taxes, and that was enough. He was chosen, and thus vacancy was added to va caney. ee “The newspapers recently reported _ Hoadly as saying that Campbell's administra tion has made his respectable. It would be difficult to say anything worse than that, for, notwithstanding the personal virtues of Gov. Hosdly—and they were many and great, for he isa man of the highest character, conscien- tious and faithful to his beliefs—yet is is um- versally conceded that under his administration our state touched the lowest point im all her history. “We have for the congressional map of Ohio the most perfect political crazy quilt ever | placed on exhibition. it is designed to give to this state, with ite 20,000 republican majority, only six republican Congressmen out of twonty- one, or one representative for every 70,000 re- publican voters, while they take one represent- ative for every 25,000 democratic voters.” The convention then took a recess until 2:30 P. convention was held in Music Hall The interior of the buuding had been beautifully decorated with flags and bunting and around the front of the galleries were displayed the ortraits of Lincoln.
