Cuicaco, August 4.—August 15 rival Irish demonstrations will be held here, one under the auspices of the Clan-na-Gael and the other conducted by the friends of Dr. Cronin. The Anti-Trianglers have adopted an address which scores the friends of Cronin’s murderers and says, among other things: “This year the friends and associates of the murderers—the men who stand between the chief ‘derers and the gallows—have decided to use the pro- ceeds of the Ocean Grove picnic for the benefit of their dupes, so that the tongues that could — the words that would bring them within the grasp of the law may be kept silent a little longer by delusive hopes,” What the Anti- Trianglers intend to do with the proceeds of their demonstration is not given out, — THE MEDICAL CONGRESS, The Great Meeting Opens Today in Berlin Under Favorable Auspices, Braurx, August 4.—The tenth international medical congress opened in this city today.

New York, August 4.—The working union cloakmakers in all the shops of this city, to the number of 3,000, went ona strike again today. This time the strike is against their former al- lies, the contractors. The operators demand an advance of about 25 cents on each garment made. There is much excitement in and around the union headquarters on Suifolk street and open charges of corruption are made against some of the union leaders. Barondess is now ac- cused of having received money from certain manufacturers for his efforts in prolonging the strikes, The contractors consider the demands of the operators as out of all reason and affirm that they will not submit, ee Wheat Fields Damaged. St. Pact. Mivx., August 4.—Puller accounts of the damage done in Manitoba by the storm Friday night have been received and show the loss to the wheat crop to be greater than at first reported. At Deloraine, 200 miles south of Winnipeg, the hail belt is said to have been four townships wide, narrowing down to a mile anda half as it proceeded eastward, leaving destruction in its wake. One hundred thousand acres of wheat have been totally ruined. Aged Baltimoreans.

New York, August 4—The rather unfavora- ble showing of the bank statement on Saturday, together with the fact that today is a holiday in London, gave the bears some encouragement to renew their pressure upon the hist this morning. First prices were generally slightly ower than the fiual figures of Saturday. and the early dealings were generally attended by dectines in prices, while the attack was d especially against Atchison and Mis- sourt Pacitic, the selection of those stocks being favored by the stortes of damage to the corn crop in Kansas, and lead up to the circulation of rumors of a possible failure to pay the in- terest on the Atchison income and the passing of the dividend upon the San Francisco first preferred stock last week. Both were unusu- al, etive, aud Missouri Pacitic retired 14 to and Atchison 1}, to 41}<¢, while Kock 1 at 90% was 3{“per cent below its final price of Saturd: On the other hand St. Panl was strong, rising a small fraction, and sugar rose °{.

TINKERING AT LAWS. How Congressmen are Compelied to Give | Conferees Trying to Agree on the Appro- Up Fence Repairing. It was made evident when the House met this morning that the resolution revoking leaves of absence was having its effect. A number of members who have not been here for some time were in their seats and the priation Bills, The conferees on the sundry civil appropria- tion bill were in session today about three hours and made considerable progress toward an adjustment of the differences between the two houses, The appropriation for the geo- reached. attendance was generally better than it has | logical survey was not been of late. though not as full as might be desired. About 160 telegrams were sent to absent members by direction of the Speaker Saturday, and many responses It is said that at the last meeting of the con- ferees on the fortifications appropriation bill the differences between the Senators and Representatives were so marked that a dis- have been received from members, who say | agreeing report was prepared and has since they will be back tonight, or tomorrow night, as quickly as they can get here. Those who are absent on account of sickness are not been signed by the fSenstora. The Representatives, however, have thus far declined to sign it, and in consequence obliged to retarn, but sickness in the family is | # feeling prevails that the conferees may et not excuse enough unless it is something serious. REPAIRING FENCES DISCONTINUED. To be called back thus summarily is a great bardship for many members who are engaged in digging post holesand putting up fences that are in avery bad condition. Besides the ambitious rivalry of other men of their party who would like to try aturn or so in Con- gress many have to contend against the Far- mers’ Alliance and against opposition growing out of the tariff discussion. NO CHANCE TO EXPLAIN, Those republicans who stood by their party in the tariff fight regardless of the interests in their district may justly claim to be sacrifices on their party’s altar, when, having incurred opposition by their position on the tariff, they are brought back to the House by party command and are not given time to make necessary explanations to their con- stituents. Of course the necessity of being here bears more heavily on the republicans than on the democrats, since they are of the party responsible for legislation. THE FARMERS’ ALLIANCE, however, are giving the democrats most trou- ble, and being called back may cause some to lose their seats who otherwise could have saved themselves, It will thrust anxiety into the hearts of mem- bers to be obliged to sit here to be counted for @ quorum, while in the distance they hear the Wee, small voice of discord in their districts. Many individuals may be sacrificed, THE PRESENT SITUATION in Congress is curious, There are enough measures marked “must” to give work fora Jong session, and the calling back of members is like calling an extra session to do business. The republicans want to pass the appropriation bilis that are yet pending und then dispose of the tariff, the shipping and the election bills be- fore adjourning. This would be an ambitious aim, ordinarily, if Congress had just opened. The average Congress does not dispose of as many important measures, But aside from these there are many im- portant measures the House will doubtless en- deavor to pass while the Senate is struggling With the tariff, if they can keep a quorum. NO ONE KNOWS WHEN. At present the stray ends of legislation are flying in the wind and noone has as yet had the grasp to gather them all in. No one ap- mk to know when or how the session is to end As it has been difficult to proceed with the tariff bill thus far it will be still more difficult to hasten the final action. The fact that there is another party measure awaiting action is not expected to be enough to induce Senators to pass over in silence features in the bill that their constituents object to or demand an explana- tion of. Republicans as well as democrats are expected to demand deliberation in the con- sideration of this schedule and of that, where their local _ interests are’ involved, and it may be that amendments will be put upon the bill, which the committee have not recommended. There may be other Plumbs in the Senate, though it is not likely that they number many. In view of the uncertainty when a vote may be reached on the tariff the friends of the fed- eral election bill are by no meaus us confident as they were two weeks ago, THE FRENCH IN ARGENTINE, ‘Mr. Blaine Declines to Discuss the Mon- roe Doctrine. A reporter took to Mr. Blaine last night at the President's cottage at Cape May Point the dispatch intimating that England and France might interfere by force with affairs in the Argentine Republic, He interrupted a con- versation with Gen, Harrison to read tho dis- patch, but when asked if the United States would under the Munroe doctrine per- mit this interference, replied: “I have nothing to say on the subject now.” The inference was that he did not expect any interference, but if it should be attempted it would be so important a matter that any utter- ance from him ought to be deferred until that time. Talks with people at the hotels who havo access to the President's cottage resulted in finding them unanimously of the opinion that the result of the Pan-American Congress was to practically establish a protect -ate over South and Central America by tk» Juited Btates as against Enropean powers. ‘va.refore it was urged Mr, Blaine would be obliged to protest against any foreign interference, eee GRANT’S TOMB, The Proposed Reinterment in the Na- tional Cemetery at Arlington. Senator Plumb on Saturday introduced the following concurrent resolution: “That the Congress desires the removal of the remains of the illustrioue soldier and statesman, Ulysses §. Grant, and their inter- mentin Arlington National Cemetery, and that the President be requested to convey to the widow of this eminent man such desire, tender- ing to her on behalf of the nation, all neces- sary facilities for such removal and interment.” The resolution would probably have passed the Senate at once, but Mr. Piumb thought it better to wait until there were more Senators present. Today the resolution again went over at Mr. Plumb’s request. He wants the sense of the country, as expressed in the news- papers, before any Yote is called for, The New York Herald of today says: “The concurrent resolution offered by Senator Plumb in Congress on Saturday providing for the re- moval of the body of Gen. Grant from River- side Park to the Arlington National Cemetery and tendering ail necessary facilities to Mra. Grant for such removal and interment did not create much surprise in this city yesterday, Some such step had been ‘hinted at heretofore and the failure of those having charge of the Graut monument fund to raise the amount of money which they deemed necessary to erect a suitable memorial in honor of the fallen commander of the Union armies had been assigned as a reason why it might eventually be taken, If Senator Piumb’s reso- tion, which was laid over for consideration until today, is adopted and Mrs, Grant sces fit to ac- cept the offer for the removal of her husband's body there will be some regret, but the general opimion, as sounded yesterday ‘in various quar- ters, will be that it is a proper solution of a vexed question.” St. Paul and the Recount, The committee of citizens representing the St. Paul chamber of commerce, who have been here for several days past examining the schedules with a view of pre- an argument to Secretary Noble in favor of the recall of his recent order directing a recount of the population of that city will have a bearing tomorrow. They have established since they have been here that the insurance map which was used by the census officials in detecting fraudu- lent returns is not reliable. The question however, is whether the frauds that have been unearthed independent of the help of the ma; are sufficient to Warrant an entire recount. It is understood that the committee are in favor of a recount of certain districts, but they are opposed to having the entire city recounted, Interior Department Changes. The following official changes have been made in the Department of the Interior Patent office—Appointment: Miss Mary C, Carr of Massachusetts, model attendant, $300, Resignations: Jeff 8.

POSTAL AFFatEs, The Senate post office committee today took up the anti-lottery bill prepared at the Post Office Department and which was reported fa- vorably to the House last week. Some doubt was expressed as to the constitutional right of Congtess to interfere with matter intrusted to the mails and the bill was referred to 8 suboom- mittee consisting of Senators Sawyer, Mitchell and Reagan for examination and re) The nomination of Stephen M. Eaton to be postmaster at New Orleans will be favorably reported from the committee. THE KITTERY.NAVY YARD. The House committee on rules today had under consideration the resolution introduced last week by Representative Cummings pro- ling for an investigation, bya com- mittee, of the facts connected with the increase of force in the Kittery (Maine) navy yard prior to the Maine elections. The committee decided to report the resolution back so amended as to omit the provision for a special commit- tee and to consist simply of @ request upon the Secretary of the Navy for # statement of his reasons for increasing the navy yard force. During the discussion in committee it was stated that when the Secretary of the Navy first ordered the force to be increased, a ste necessary to replace the buildings destroye by fire last January, and to pro- vide for the repnii of ships, he was ignorant of the fact that the Maiue Con- gressional electious were to be held in Septem- ber. ‘fhe law forbids the increase of the navy yard forces within sixty days prior to a oon- gressional election except in an emergency, and when the Secretary's attention was called to the date of the Maine elections he signed a certificate to the effect that the emergency ex- isted as to the Kittery navy yard. STARVED AND DEMORALIZED. The Condition of “‘Show” Indians Re- ported to Commissioner Morgan. Accounts of the ill-treatment of Indians, who have been abroad with shows, still continue to come to the Indian office. Today Indian Com- missioner Morgan reccived a letter from Gen. James R. O'Beirne, the acting United States superintendent of immigration at New York city, in which he states that three Ogallala Sioux Indians arrived at that port from Europe Saturday. ‘The Indians,” reports Mr. O’Beirne, “were in bad shape physically, two having pul- monary disease and one jaundice. They were fairly well dressed, but wore moccasins, and ate hungrily from cans preserved meat and some bread while coming from the ship in the barge to this office.” Through inter- preters the Indians, as the letter states, “told a lamentable story of mal-treatinent and failure of the white men who have engaged them for the villainous business in which they are em- ployed for the cupidity of white men. They ave been treated barbarously and cruelly sub- fected to all the temptations of vice, drinking and immoralty by being brought without proper restraint into contact with the criminal and immoral classes, with whom they are per- mitted to indulge their evil appetites and passions,” As these Indians were taken abroad under contracts which stipulated that they should be well treated and taken care of and as bonds were given to secure thecontract, Indian Com- missioner Morgan willendeavor toascertain the facts in regard to the Indians, and if the contract has been violated he will proceed under the bond. He has, however, decided to grant no permits in the future for Indians to go with shows either in this country or in Europe. There are et two traveling companies containing Indians in Enrope. One is the Buffaio Bil! Company and the other is the Carver Company, and the Indians who are re- ferred to in the letter belong to the latter company. SHOT AND KILLED HIMSELF, The Tragic Death of a Well-Known Business Man. Mr. A. Loovis, who lived on 18th street above Dupont Circle, was found dead upon the floor in his house this morning about 8 o’clock, An investigation showed that he had taken his own life by means of a pistol. Mr. Loovis had been in bad health and had been feeling greatly depressed for some time past, and his friends are satisfied that the act was committed while his mind was in & state of temporary aberration. The coroner gave a certificate of death and no inquest was held. Mr, Loovis left no family. a THE DISTRICT IN CONGRESS, Witnesses in Trials Before Police and Fire Department Boards to Testify. Mr. Burton, to whom the bill compelling the attendance of witnesses in police trials was referred by the District com- mittee for a favorable report has after consulting the commissioners decided to submit an amendment which would take in the fire department and other District depart- ments. Mr. Burton thinks that at any time the same dificulty as to witnesses Sy Fe arise in a trial of any member of the fire de- partment aa that which caused the drafting of the original bill for the police department, DISTRICT GOVERNMENT, CALLING FOR ANNUAL REPORTS, The Commissioners have requested the chiefs of the various departments of the District gov- ernment to transmit before November 1 an es- timate of the amount required for the condnct and support of their offices for the fiscal year ending Tone 30, 1891, and also a detailed state- ment of the operations of their respective of- fices for year ending June 30, 189.

BUT TWO MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEE OF BEFORM IN THE CIVIL SERVICE FIND TIME TO ATTEND THE OPENING SESSION—THE COMMIS SION READY TO BE INVESTIGATED.

In fact it can hardly be said to have fairly 6' d. It was necessary to get three members of the committee in order to take testimony. By 10:30 Chairman Lehl- bach was on hand with the official stenograph- er ready to go to work, but his colleagues did not materialize. ‘he three civil service commissioners turned up in good season and all waited, with more or ess patience, for two other members of the committee. Gov. Thompson kept the party in a boisterous con- dition witb a number of inimitably told stories until Mr. Hopkins of the committee sauntered in with a file of papers under his arm. This was a gain, but it did not makeup the requisite number. THEY COMMENCED WORK, ANYHOW. At 12 o'clock all hope of obtaining a quorum ‘was given up, but in order to get started Mr. Roosevelt asked permission to make a short statement and have it taken down, giving an idea of certain things which the Commissioners thought should be touched on in the investiga- tion. Mr. Roosevelt thereupon started in on his statement, referring to complaints con- cerning the commission, which had been made not only outside of the Houseof Representa- tives, but on the floor. He called for a thorough investigation of the questions which were asked in the ex- aminations, He wished a number of sets of questions to be examined 80 as seo if the questions were in any way irregular or irrelevant. Naturally, continued Mr. Roosevelt, out of the many thou- sand questions asked some were unwise, but on the whole, taking into consideration the material with which the commission had to work the examinations, were fair in every way. It must be remembered, said he, that the ex- aminations had to be carried on in the most in- expensive manner. COMPARISONS CALLED FOR. Mr. Roosvelt said he would also suggest that some office be taken where it was known that the service was conducted in a proper manner—as he post offices at Brooklyn, Boston or Chicago— and see if, after an examination, a gain is not found im these offices, Then one of them might be compared with some smaller ottice where the system was not in force, Mr. Roosevelt said it was often imposrible to contradict statements attacking the com- mission im a general way, and these statements, going uncontradictea, some- times did harm to the system. He would be pleased to have the committee investigate some of the charges recently made in debate on the floor of the House. ON MR, GROSVENOR’S CORNS. “Mr, Grosvenor,” continued Mr. Roosevelt, “had charged that apportionments were made in an unfair manner, stating that in the de- partments his district had been en- tirely neglected. In this respect Mr. Grosvenor was entirely mistaken as I have just sent hima list of eight men in the depart- ments from his district, whereas he really is entitled to only seven and a fraction.” Mr. Roosevelt thought this charge of Mr. Groavenor's was really a compliment to the commission, as it showed that these eight ap- pointmente had been made entirely without political influence. “The civil service law is observed thor- oughly,” he went on, ‘in the departments at Washington, and it has been now for six years.” REVERSING MR. WASHINGTON’S FIGURES. Mr. Roosevelt then took up the statement made by Mr. Washington, that 95 per cent of the Cleveland clerks had been removed during this administration, ‘This, he said, was very far from being cor- rect. Asa fact 92 per cent have been retained and consequently only 8 per cent removed, this being about the same per cent as was removed atthe beginning of both the Cleveland and Arthur administrations, Mr. Roosevelt recurred to the question of apportionments, saying they were made by states, as it would be a physical im- Possibility to apportion by congressional istricta on account of the great expense of holding examinations in the several districts. The commission endeavored to do the fair thing among the different sections of she states. ‘The younger commissioner then took up Mr. Evans’ statement that a tremendous number of appointments were given to THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. Mr. Hopkins, he thought, had fully answered this charge at the time by the state- ment that most of these appoint- ments had been made before the present law. An examination of the figures wonld show that only une appointment had been made from the District in the last few years. Formerly about half the clerks were from the District or its immediate neighborhood. Now only a small proportion get there. Mr. Cheadle had said that 25 per cent of the appointments to the Census Bu- reau were from the District, and Mr. Roosevelt remarked that this was an argument for the commission, as the census oftico was not under the control or the civil service commission. In regard to the charge that the near states get the most appointments Mr. Roosevelt said that Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Florida and several other distant states were at the head of the list. In these states the population was scattering. In many, especially the southern states, it was almost impossible to get appli- canta, In the big states the apportionment could be kept about even, as there were plenty of appli- cants inevery branch. In Louisiana, for in- stance, APPLICANTS COULD NOT BE OBTAINED even by personal supplication. In order to get the southern quota of the 1,300 special pen- sion examiners it had been necessary to send down two men to advertise and to have interviews ee in order to get the necessary number. If the administra- tion was to bolstered up the effort would not have been made, but as it was both men sent south on this mis- sion were democrats. WHERE THE SYSTEM IS SOMETIMES WEAK. Mr. Roosevelt said that in the departments the system worked satisfactorily, but that in local it offices it did not, as the examiners are directly under the postmasterx, He suggested that the commission be allowed to appoint two men on each of these Tooal boards without compensation and that then they should bé allowed to pay one government employe to act as secretary, WILL TRY AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY. The two members of the committee, after Mr. Roosevelt had finished, entered into an in- formal discussion as to the scope of the investigation and the course to be a The investigation will be resumed on We: day.

COACHMAKERS LOCKED owt. The Joyces Decline to Take Their O1d Men Back. ‘THE SITDATION TALKED OVER—& COXFEREXCE WHICH WILL BE CONTINUED WEDNESDAY—TuE PHILADELPHIA MEN AT WORK TODAT—sTMPA- THY FROM PLATE PRINTERS, The strike of local carriage makers for = nine-hour working day is over and now all the craftsmen in thatline of business, with the noteworthy exception of those who brought By striking when they did the employes of the Mesers. Joyce forced the iseue—much to the advantage of workers in other shops—but at the same time they threw themselves out of an establishment that will probably never allow but small minority of the strikers to again enter ite doors, The strike bas devel- oped into a lockout, DISCUSSING THE SITUATION. Two hundred carriage makers—union, nop- union and anti-union—gathered together yees- terday afternoon in the hall of Coachmakers Assembly of Knights of Labor and discussed the situation, All elements of the trade were represented, for the Knight of Labor and his opposing fellow-workman had joined hands to secure the nine-honr day. As to matters of icy and ritual they disagreed; on this sub- Ject they were one, Past Master Workman Edward Pywell of the Coachmakers’ Assembly called the meeting to order, and when Joseph B. Fenton had been elected cl mn turned the conduct of the meeting over to him. The speeches made were, as a rule. conciliatory in sentiment, and in several of them the statement was clearly made that the fight for the abbre- viated day was a trade affair and not neces- sarily a movement of the Knights of Labor, although, of course, the knights had interested themselves in the matter. 4 COMMITTEE APPOINTED, After # good deal of general discussion Messrs. Fegan, Pywell, Fenton, Gerausch and Kelly were appointed a committee to talk the situation over with the Messrs. Joyce and to endeavor to persuade those gentleman to rein- state the old hands, Preparations were also made by the meeting for the reception of the men who were coming from Philadelphia to fill the places vacated by the strikera, == The program was to have a committee of seven, aug- mented by the entire force of strikers, to meet the men as they arrive or as soon as possible thereafter for the purpose of persuad- ing them to return. The funds which this plan would call for will be raised by s committee composed of Messrs, Pywell, Wiley, Langley, Fegan and Haney. Chairman Fenton requested the locked-out men to be sober and orderly in the extreme. Public sentiment and sympathy were with them now, he said, and would continue with them so long as there was no overt act by any of their number, When the chairman concluded his warning he declared the meeting adjourned. CONFERRING WITH THE JOYCES, Early in the evening the committee appointed for that purpose called upon the Messrs. Joyce and made a strong appeal for the reinstatement of the strikers and the resumption of former pleasant relations. Mr. George W. Joyce, the senior member of the firm, assured the committee that he intended to stand by the new men; he did not think he could ever forgive the old employes for the wrong he believed they had done him. The committee pleaded the cause of the locked-out men With a great deal of force, promising to do anything reasonable to make up_ the loss caused by the disturbance provided the old hands were taken back. In response to a request from the committee thathe fix a day when the committee might call again to see him Mr. Joyce suggested Wednesday at 5:30 p-m., and at that time the committee will again use its utmost endeavor to secure perfect harmouy and employment for the local work- men, LOOKING FOR THE NEW MEN. The other committee, whose persuasive elo- quence was to be reserved for the imported ar- tisans, went out and towork as soon as the meeting was over. Nota Philadelphian could thoy find unywhere, although the cepots were watched continuousiy. This morning one or two of the strangers were argued with, but they failed to respond, It was expected that the committee would make another mis- siouary effort at noon today. for several mem- bers of it had been hanging around in full view of Joyces’ for several hours. The dinner hour passed off just as pleasantly as thongh there were no such things as strikes or lockouts, WHAT MR. JOYCE SATs. To aSrar reporter Mr. Joyco this morning said he was more than pleased with the charac- ter of the new men, and the quality of their work was a gratifying surprise. Some of the work done this morning was far superior, he said, to any done by the old hands. He really believed that the little disturbance would turn out in the end to have been a good thiug for his business. “The statement has been made,” said Mr, Geo. W. Joyce to the reporter, “that I refused to listen to a proposition that the men work but nine hours a day for nine hours’ pay. That is untrue. No such pruposition was ever made tome, Ihave made no promises to re-employ any of the old employes, but I have assured the new men that I wli stand by them, and they in turn have promised me that no amount of persuasion will compel them to leave us,” MR. PHELPS DENIES. Anxious to contradict certain misstatements alleged to have been made about him at the meeting yesterday was Mr. Phelps, one of the Joyce employes who refuved to quit work when the others did, The paragraph he desired to correct and to which he directed ‘(uz Stan reporter's attention was one which read “that Mr. Phelps, one of the Joyce men who refused to join the strikers, had been eared for by the firm during a long iiness last winter. Sinco then he (Mr. Fegan) had heard that this was wrong, and that Mr. Phelps had been aided by a contribution taken up among the men the shop. He wished to know what the facts were. One of he Joyce men present said that a subscription aper for Mr. Phelps’ aid during his illness had Basa taken through theshop. Ali the men had contributed, and the paper also bore the name of the firm, A. Joyce's Sons, opposite a contri- bution of #5.” “The facts in the case are,” said Mr. Phelps, “that when Iwas sick and during the whole period of my illness the firm paid me my wages just as though I had been at work. The @5 down on that subscription list was an addi. tional contribution, All the men in the shop did not contribute; only four of them did. The others ignored it entirely, and now some of them want to per- vert the facts for their own glorification. The Messrs, Juyce have been very kind to me on more than one occasion when misfortune tried to throw me, and I want the truth known. They stayed by ine when I needed help and I am going to bea man and stay by them now. Another of the stories told of me is the one which states that I promised to go out with the other men, but refused when the time came. Up to within Saif an hour of the strike I was in total ignorance of what was going on and when I did kuow I re- fused most emphatically to think of striking. ‘There are plenty of witnesses who will testify to that. HadI promisedto go out I would have gone; being neither a fool nor an ingrate I remained in the shop.” HELP FROM PLATE PRINTERS.
