There was no more fighting im the House yesterday after that of which am account was given in Tux Stan. At the hour of adjourn- mont no progress had been made with the lard Dill, and acall of the House was in progress. After the confusion caused by Mr. Cannon's Temarks and the fight between Messrs. Beck- with and Wilson had subsided under tho influ- ence of a roll call, Mr. Cannon explained to the House that he did not mean what his lan- guage implied. MR. CANNON’S EXPLANATION. He said: “I crave for a moment the attention of the House. A few moments ago the gentle- man from New Jersey denounced my action as a member of the Honse yesterday as infamous. Ihave had long service in the House and I do not as much atteution to words as others do, yet I suppose I am as easily touched by characterizations that seem to me to be unjust as any man in the House, I think that gentle- men will bear me out that in my years of service have attempted to keep within the rnies and usages of the House and not to offend the mind and taste of anybody in or out of the House. 1 certainly have no intention of so doing. Smarting, perhaps, under the ebaracterization of the gentleman from New Jersey (who comes, when he does come, with force). recollecting that I thought it legitimate to criticise bis action since he has been a mem- ber of the House, having in mind that during the last om he made a speech against the Mills bill and voted for it, and thinking that he ‘was somewhat noted for talking one way and yoting another, I made the remark I did. And I think that the remark from that standpoint was apt. Idid not think itcould offend any- body, unless a foreed and improper and vulga construction were placed upon it. ‘ Fhed ni desire to have such « construction placed upon it. and I did not have it in my mind, and if such construction was placed upon I beg it will not be. And if any member of the House feels that the privileges or the taste of the House have been violated I will be glad to make any roditication or withdrawal in my power.” %. M'ADOO NOT SATISFIED WITH THE EXPLANA- TION. Later Mr. McAdoo took the floor to a ques- tion of privilege and said that he would yield to no man im this House or out of it in love for manliness and fair play. He bad the generosity to meet am opponeat more than half way, no matter what the offense might be. When the gentleman from Illinois rose to make his stato- ment, he (Mr. McAdoo} had more concern for the gentleman than he had for himself. He had hoped that the gentleman, by a frank and manly statement, would have purged himself of the suspicion of having injected vulgarity into the debate. But he had not done so. This was not his [Mr. McAdoo’s) judgment alone. It was the judgment of the most conservative men that the so-cailed explanation was ingenious and not ingenuous. And when the gentleman went beyond the original onslaught and made au additional charge as to bis inconsistency it took away all suspicion that he was making an explanation to the House. A gentleman was justified under no circumstances in ever de- scending to vulgar, indecent and blackguard remarks, or remarks that could be construed as such. Mr. Funston of Kansas—He didn’t do it. Mr. Hayes of Iowa—That is a question of taste. Continuing. Mr. McAdoo said, when a man did that he had, by the simple law of gravity, bat sought his own level. He could have no controversy with such a man. MB. CANNON'S PARTING WORDS. Mr. Cannon said that he could add nothing to what he had said. He had disclaimed the intention of saying anything that would wound the feelings or propriety of the most delicate. He had stated what he had to state in good faith. He could state nothing further. He was willing that the matter should rest there, and if after that any man in the House or out of the House insisted against his protest in making a remark that could be found anywhere in polite literature and had been before made withont criticism on the floor of the House he could only say, “evil te him that evil thinks.” Mr. Euloe of Tennessee—In what polite liter- ature is Your language found? [Laughter.} RAPID TRANSIT. Statistics of Ten Years’ Progress in City Street Travel. An interesting bulletin has been issued by the Census Office. It gives the growth of repid transit facilities during the past decade in cities having over 50,000 inhab- itants. The statistics were prepared by Chas. H. Cooley, special agent, under the direc- tion of Mr. Henry C. Adams, who is in charge of transportation statistics, As this is the first attempt to collect statistics of street railways the result will be received with general attention. Of the 286 street railroads referred to in the builetin hav- ing a total length of 3,150.93 miles, 13 having a total length of 135; 75 miles made no reports, and 6 having a total length of 112, 64 miles most imperfect returns, A table is given which shows the increase in the mileage of these roads for each year in the decade. The figures for this city are as fol- i In 1880 the length of line operated was 29.47 miles. In 1883 there was an increase to 52.52 miles. In 1888 the total Was increased to 3422 and the next year it reached 38.77. The increase in the mileage of ays in this city from 18390 to 1889 was 9.20 miles, an increase of 31.56 per cent. CHICAGO LEADS. The largest increase during the same period im the country was im Chicago, where there was sn addition of 10431 miles, Boston stands next with 100 miles, then comes Kansas City, Mo., with 75 miles and Los Angeles, Cal., with 71 miles. The total in- crease in the mileage of the street railways of the country is 1,461 miles, The statistics of this city show further that there were only two kinds of motive power in operation December 21, 1899, namely, mal power and electricity. Thirty-five miles were operated by the first-named Power and | three miles by the jatter. Throughout the coun‘ it is shown that 7462 per cent of the mileage of street railways is operated by animal power, 8.26 per cent by electricity, 8.12 per cent by cable, 1.96 = cent steam elevated roads and 7.04 per cent steam surface roads. The total number of street railways in operation in December, 1887, «3 given as 807, and 426 cities and towns in the couutry had rapid transit facilities. BELLIGERENT COWBOYS. Rival Showmen and Indians Threaten to Scalp Each Other, There is an intense excitement in Hamburg over the fierce row that has occurred between Buffalo Bill and Dr. Carver. People are afraid to come out of doors after dark and the place is in astate of siege. Members of each troupe have openly declared their intention of fight- ing for their masters even if the quarrel ends im a general fizht. There can be no doubt that it is only through the efforts of the civic au- thorities that bloodshed has up to the present time been avoided. When Cody reached Hamburg he found that he was obliged to pitch his tent within a few feet of Carver's show. Carver had made ar- Tangements for an exclusive supply of electric light and this left Cody's plxce in the dark. ‘Then the members of both: camps took up the matter, and it was only through the strenuous efforts of the police that a fearful fight has “< cturg ie fled with howling lamburg is fil a disns and Siuhage who are waiting fag wha scalp each other.

SECRETARY TRACY'S ANSWER, A FAITHFUL LITTLE GIRL. THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C. 1HURSDAY, AUGUST 28. , — Ld AN EX-KHEDIVE POISONED, He Denies That Kittery Navy Yard ts a| She Jumps After Hor Father to Almost | Ismail Pasha’s Death Political Machine.

In his reply the Secretary says that the necessity for an increase in the work- ing force in the month of July was due to the fact that the appropriations for the current fis- cal year became available July 1. He quotes the act forbidding increase of force within sixty days before an election except upon scer- tificate setting forth its necessity, and says that as the Maine elections were fixed for bent 3 tember 8 the force of the Kittery yard could only be increased upon certificate, which he accordingly issued Jul; The Secre' says that the force numbered Jt 1, 1890, 418; July 1, 467, and August 1, 448. The decrease in July was due to exhausted appropriations. the necessity for replacing the buildings in the Kittery yard destroyed by fire last January, the Secretary says that view of the fact that on June 30, less than one month before the publication of the order covering the work, Congress directed the work by law and emphasized its urgoncy by making the a propriation immediately available, it would scem to be unbecoming in an executive depart- ment whose duty is to obey and execute the law to make any comment, even by way of an- swer to an inquiry, on the opinion thus clearly pronounced by the legisiature. The work on the Lancaster and Monongahela and the build- ing of a launch were assigned to Portamouth because work of that kind had b@en done there for years, and the assignment of the Lancaster was made eleven months before the approach- ing elections.” In conelusion Secretary Tracy says: “In view, however, of the character of the inte: rogatory which the House of Representatives in direct terms asks the head of an executive department whether he has or has not been guilty of a gross abuse of power in public ad- “hinistration, I deem it proper, in terms equally direct, to deny that the contemplated employment of such increased force at said navy yard is intended to affect the approach- ing congressional election in the state of Maine rather than to subserve the public interests, or that any increase of force at any time has been or will be made by the Navy Department under its present administration for the p of influencing an appreaching election, or for the purpose of electing or defeating any particular candidate; and I have the honor to add that the Navy Department, while poreeize steadily this policy does not propose that the progress of public works, directed by law and by law committed to its charge, shall be interrupted er postponed by the occurrence of an election, or that it shall be deterred from the perform- ance of what is believed to be its duty by any fear that unjust nnd unfounded suspicion may call in question the motives of its action.” eee CHILDREN ON THE STAGE. The New York S. P. C. C. Keeps a Sharp Watch on the Managers. There was a swarm of actors in the Jefferson Market police court in New York yesterday to witness the arraignment of the juvenile gymnasts who had been taken by the agents of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children from the stages of the Union Square Theater and the Academy of Music. Henry and Charles Avolo were present with their reputed father, Charles Avolo, and Allen McKenzie, a nine-year-old dancer and gymnast, was in charge of Angelina Werturburg. The complaints in the cases were made by Agont Wilson, who asserted that the children were under age. Counsel for the man- agement said that Harry was, seven- teen and Charles sixteen years old. Evidence was produced from the National Society of London to show that the young gym- masts were under age. The lawyers for the manager objected to the admission of the statement on the ground that it could not be sworn to. He had written to Lyons, France. and Berlin, Germany, for certified copies of the boys’ birth certificates, and he asked for an adjournment until he shoul obtain this in- formation. Upon this statement of facts the examination was postponed without date. The case of Allen McKenzie, or Werturburg, was also postponed. Francis Wilson, for whom a summons had beew issued for allowing two colored boys to dance in the “Merry Monarch,” was not pres- ent, and this case went over. coe THE KNIGHTS’ LAST CARD, The Few Members Still Left on the Central Ordered Out. The Knights of Labor have played their last card against the New York Central railroad. All they can do now is to await the result. They have called out every man who owes them allegiance and the strike will be enforced as strongly as the organization can enforce it The railroad officials state that they are indifferent to the efforts of Mr. Powderly to tie up the road and say they are managing their business better than ever, notwithstanding the shouting of the strikers. CHIEF ARTHUR HEARD FROM. P. M. Arthur, chief engineer of the Grand International Brotherhood of Locomotive En- gineers, has written under date of Cleveland, August 25, toan engineer on the $d avenue elevated road. It is in response to a letter on the subject of the New York Central strike, and is first written utterance of Mr. Arthur, which fully defines his position toward the — strikers and the Knights of Labor. He writes: “When the present trouble on the New Y ork Central first occurred I ordered the engineers to abstain from all participation in it, andto at- tend strictly to their own business. I guve th same advice when the strike occurred on the yearsago. My advice to Engineers, when men em- | sees in other branches of railroad service ave been on a strike, was to mind their own business and not do anything that did not properly belong to them as engineers. Can ir. Powderly do the same? think not, Whenever th rs have been on strike wo never asked any other labor organ- ization to assist us, It is true some of the members of the order the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy strike importuned the switchmen to quit, but they did it on their own responsibility, not by the authority of the organization. Conse- quently, I hold that we are perfectly justified in maintaining strictly a neutral position when others are engaged in conflict with their em- ployers. Mr. Powderly accuses members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers of taking the of striking firemen. If that is trae the division of which they are members will deal with them. It is not within the prov- ince of my authority to deal with individual members. I wonder if Mr. Powderly had the knights expelled who took the places of our men on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy.” phen aoe mae scree SIX PEOPLE DROWNED, A Washed- Away Bridge Strikes a Dwel- ling House With Fatal Results.

On the train coming in the child returned to consciousness and was able to tell her name. As she wad into the hospital ambu- lance at the ton avenue station, she raised one hand to her head and gasped out the word, “Mamma.” Stephen Beck, her father, was picked up dead. He was a native of the Grand Duchy of Baden, and was born in 1819. He came to this country about forty years ago and, after wandering around a to Bt county, where he was both ® farmer ands smell merchant. He was wife, gather trouble came into the family and early in last July a decree in divorce was entered against him on bis "3 ition.

Whether the of the child was awarded to the father or whether he had kidnapped her and was fleeing from the divorce court's jurisdiction, as well as from that of the criminal court, is only a matter of surmise. Circumstances, however, uphold the belief that Lena was an unconscious, if willing, comrade in her father’s fight. On Beck's body, among other pepers. was a receipts for $325, signed ‘Turner older, this money — ing been given by Beck to procure a bail id tt would insure Beck's appearance at the criminal court of St. Clair county to answer an indictment for felonions assault with intent tocommit rape. The fact of the indictment and its character were spe- cifically set forth in the receipt, and there is no doubt that Beck had fled from home in order to the penalty of his crime. Beck was dressed roughly and had something of the appearance of a tramp, yet he had in his possession over 25,000 in money and drafts, @ passport from the Secretary of State, papers showing that he had been naturalized, and a second-class cabin ticket for himself and daughter on the steamer Normania of the Ger- man-Amerioan packet line. Among other pers was @ slip marked “2721 Do Kalb, Hotel Buok.” ‘There is no such address in Philadel- bia, but there is a De Kalb avenue in Brook- yn, N.Y. It may be that he has friends there. The drafts found on the body were drawn by the Fourth National Bank of St Louis to Beck's order on the Mittledeutsche Credit Bank of Frankfort-au-Maim, Germany, and were for 20.684 marks, or about $5,121 in our money. The currency in possession amounted to $95.46. In the meantime Lena is being tenderly carod for at the hospitul. At times last night she was conscious, and was able to tell that vhe had a brother and sister “somewhere,” but exactly where she could not say. The physicians en- tertain little hope of her recovery. A dispatch from Belleville says Beck lived at Mascoutah, Ill, and was well known in Bt. Louis, He war quite wealthy and leaves a large family of grown up children and several divorced wives in St. Clair county, Il. At the time of his doath he was a fugitive from jus- tice and the crime with which he was charged was especially revolting. He recently sold his farm for $6,000 and indemnified his bondsmen with cold cash, He turned all his other affairs over to a grown won, and a day or two ago, with his youngest daughter, started for Ger- many. Sere ieee ‘WISCONSIN DEMOCRATS. Editor George W. Peck Nominated for Governor—The Platform. The Wisconsin democratic state convention was called to order at Milwaukee yesterday morning by Chairman Wall of the state cen- tral committee. J. W. Morrow was appointed temporary chairman and made a speech, dur- ing the course of whick he referred to Grover Cleveland, whereupon the delegates howled themselves hoarse. A second allusion to Cleve- land was the signal for a similar outburst. Long and loud applause followed every blow made at the Bennett law, and the platform adopted de- nounces it as unnecessary, unwise, unconstitu- tional, un-American and undemocratic, and de- mands its repeal, The platform also declares that the repub:1- can party isthe sxpeaent of all forms of pater- nalism and centralization, and that in the Mc- Kinley bill it seems to burden the masses with additional high protective charges for the ‘benefit of the favored few. By lavish expendi- ture of an immonse levy of unnecessary taxes it strives to corrupt the voters. By the force bill it endeavors to make its political power sclf-perpetuating in placing Congress directly under its control; by its slavish support of the Speaker of the present House of Kepresenta- tives in his arbitrary assumption of authority it attempts to disfranchise its political oppo- nents, YY these and other acts it manifests its disregard of just principles of government, ita distrust of the people and its determination to override every right in its efforts to maintain its supremacy. The employment in shops, factories or other places of business of children #8 than fourteen years of age is opposed, and ingeut laws are favored prohibiting such employment. e crepe 2 5 gare wero not finished until nearly 6 o'clock, when the first ballot was taken, and it resulted as follows: George W.

Pecks vote fell off to 139 and Bouck’s increased. to 62. ‘The ballots did not show any great change until the sixth, when a stampede set in to Peck, and when it became certain he would be nomi- nated some one moved to make it unanimous, Gen. Bragg was at once on his feet to protest. “The candidate whom I came here to support allowed his name to come into the convention simply for the purpose of entering a protest against nominating a governor for fun.” he said, and he iusisted on the roll call, The vote owed: Peck, 227; Bouck, 19; Knight, 47; Wi- Again it was moved to muke the nom- imation unanimous and again Gen.

It has now fallen off to about 12,000 owing to Mr. Peck’s heroic efforts to enjoy bis wealth. The campaign will be a jolly one, as Gov.

Their magnificent prisons are on the lovely shores of the Bosphorus. The one is Murad, formerly sultan of the Ottoman empire; the other is Ismail, once the all-powerful Khedive or King of Egypt, Both are maintamed in the strictest seclusion, cut off entirely from e kind of communication with the outer work Indeed it is only by means of harem rumors that it is known that they are still in the land of the living. Seige ten ty! more remarkable than the man- ner in which Ismail has ped out of public sight. From the time of his accession in 1863 to the date of his abdication in 1879 he was one of the most prominent and important on the chessboard of European politics, re is hardly» monarch or notable statesman in Europe who has not been entertained by him on the banks of the Nile with the most bound- less hospitality. And when, after his departure from Egypt, he took up his residence in Europe he was received at Rome, Vienna and Berlin as 8 sovereign and by the Prince of Wales at Marl- borough House with royal honors, His harem and suite were installed in the beautifal Nea- politan palace of King Humbert at La Favorite and several of the royal Italian chamberlains and aids-de-camp were attached to his person. His enormous weaith—he is credited with pos- sossing a fortune of soine €40,000,000—invested in European securities placed practically every luxury and enjoyment of life within his reach, and yet he was not satisfied, “On December 23, 1487. he embarked hi harem and suite, numbering somo five hui dred persons, on board one of the largest ves- sels of the Rubattino line and prepared to sail from Naples to Constantinople. The voyage began ander ominous auspices, tho ship being delayed three days within sight of Vesuvius by the terriblo storm which prevailed. At length, on the 80th instant, the vessel anchored off the Golden Horn, and several of the principal offi- cials of the sultan’s household immediately proceeded on board to welcome Ismail in their master’s name. He landed the same afternoon and took up his residence at his firy-like and exquisitely beautiful palace of Ermeghian. Ou the following day, a Friday, Inmail was re- ceived by Abdul Hamid himself, who treated him with great distinction and evon invited him to accompany him to the ceremony of the Selamlik and to pray beside him at the mosque. “At the conclusion of the ceremony Ismail returned to his place at Ermeghian, and from that time to this he has never been seen with- out its walls, ‘Two years ago it became known at the Yildiz Kiosk that he had craved the sultan’s permission to proceed to Vichy for thi benefit of his health. His imperial majesty had, however, curtly refused on the ground that the air of Constantinople was far more conducive to the health of a true believer, such as the ex-khedive, than that of France. “All attempts made by former friends and adherents of ismailto obtam an audience or even a glimpse of him are obstructed by the officials whom Abdul Hamid has attached to his person. and this man who, more than any one else, finds pleasure and amusement in the association and conversation of clever Euro- pean friends and acquaintances, is reduced to he sole society of tie stupid Levantine wemen who compose his harem and to that of the eunuchs in attendance. Neither Emperor William, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Duke of Genoa nor any other of his former intimates and friends, has been allowed either to him or even to take any notico of his exis ence during their visits to Constantinople, and his imprisonment in his palace is quite as strict as that of the ex-Sultan Murad, who was Ab- dul Hamid’s predecesso A GREENBACK LOVE FEAST. National Convention Held by a Few Soft-Money Men. The national greenback convention con- vened in Tomlinson Hall, Indianapolis, yesterday, but the number present was only about enough to fill a country school house. About fifty people assombled on tho front seats of the hall, and, outside of Indiana, New York sent the largest delegation, sixteen in number. ‘Tho remainder were scattered pretty evenly over the United States, Col. Jones took charge of the convention and said he could see no reason why so large a hall had been rented un- less it was to show thoso members present that Indianapolis had a hall large enough to hold the national convention which will very likely be held there in 1892. The colonel then pointed out the dangers of sectionalism aud scored both old parties for what they had and had not done, He advocated a financial poticy based on a fixed volume of paper money, regulated by Jaw. He said the third busi of the con- vention was to prepare a sericsy of questions to put to candidates of the old parties in dis- tricts were the greenback party had none, and lastly, to bring about a complete reorgan- ization of the national greenback party throughout the whole country.

No international canoe races have been sailed since 1883, In that year Walter Stuart, one of the most expert and skillful canoeists in England, came to America, and the cup races were sailed in New York bay.

That Isaac Murphy, who has always been considered the most gentlemanly as well as the most honest of jockeys, should have made such an exhibition of himself as he did was past belief. _He rode Firenzi in the Mon- mouth handicap, and that he did so was alone the reason for the ridiculous way in which she was beaten, finishing last in a field of horses that she should have defoated with but little trouble, Sunday last he fell into the clutches of iticians who call themselves the ing a car and themselves 4 with liquor, they went to Eatontown, and at esnut Grove hed a clam bake with a liquid annex, the annex being the largest part of the These the year. y, incidentally to their rack sented Matthew Byrnes, trainer of the racer, with a magnificent diamond pin, aud to the jockey who had ridden him, ver-mounted whip.

The plungers did not look upon the odds as suspicious until after the race hed been run, Then they came to the conclusion with one accord that the bookies must have known something about Murphy's condition, and must have profited by their knowledge with the seductive odds they offered, And the Salvator Club left a lot of their good money in the ring. That wasa bit of retributive justice, “Firenzi was the last horse to go to the post, because Murphy was slow in weighing ont and did not show up to take his mount until some time after the bugle call, a fact which made ‘Traincr Byrnes somew! nervous, When Murphy did mount, however, Mr. Byrnes did condition, nor did Sec- retary Crickmore when Murphy weighed out, At the post his condition was not particulariy noticeable, “Murphy got away well with the others, Firenzi and Los Angeles going out in front. But after a quarter of s mile had been ran Murphy puiled the mare back and let Tristan and Lavinia Belle cut out the running. Peo- ple on the grand vtand supposed he was simply restraining the mare to kvep her from runnin, herself out. But he kept holding her bacl until the head of the stretch was reached, with ‘Tristan leading and \houo and Los Angeles running on even terms with the yeast of the turf, When Murphy begun to ride her in the straight it was then apparent that the pull Murphy had had on the mare was one used \to try and keep himself straight in the saddle, His attempts to ride were futile. He pulled the mare's head first to the right and then to the left, and hauled her all over the track. She fell back rapidly under these manipulations, and Tea Tray, on whom the stable boy Moore had the mount, moved up from the rear to the front and eventually won the race by a lengtii from Rhono, who was three lengths in front of Lavinia Belle, with Prince Royal. Tristan, Los Angeles and Firenzi following in the order named. “Murphy's pitiful attempts to ride Firenzi culminated just after the mare passed the judgos’ stand last, when she should have beeu first. He could not keep her straight. and she bolted over to the inner fence. Murphy had strength enough to prevent collusion. ‘That was all, As soon as he had practically stopped her what strength he hud was gone, and he feli outof the saddle in a heap to the track. Then for the first time the crowd realized what was the matter, and that it was an animated cham- gne bottle instead of the peerless jockey, Krarph; , who had been riding the mare. It was u shock to every one. Starter Caldwell's wagon was near the mare when Murphy fell, and his assistant, ‘Pole Jim," eaught the mare and helped the jockey to remount. ‘That the crowe was pained at the exhibition Murphy had wade of himself instead of being angered was #hown by the fact that he was not hissed when he rode back to the paddock to weigh in. “Inu the paddock the truth as to the condi- tion of the jockey was made more apparent. He could hardly staud straight on the scales when Secretary Crickmore was weighing him. Mr. Withers, suspecting the condition of af- fairs, hurried to the paddock and began an in- vestigation on his own account. That was carried only far enough to convince him that Murphy was under the influence of liquor. Ho accordingly notified Secretary Crickmore that Murphy was ‘suspended until further orders." That order undoubtedly means that a further investigation and possibly further punishment may follow as un example to other jockeys as well asa punishment to Mur- phy, whose condition meant the loss of thousands on thousands of doliars by the pub- lie, “Murphy's past reputation may stand him in good stead to prevent expulsion from all race courses, a punishment which would probably have been meted out to most any other jockey in America for such an exhibition in the saddle, No punishment that can be given him will, of course, restore the thousands of doilars he lost for Firenzi's backers, nor can it reimburse Mr. Haggin for the loss of the race, for, much as many-times millionaire loves money. he would probably rather have given up $10,000 than have had his maro beaten.” SRSA ESTO AEE ER Foreign Notes of Interest. A dispatch from Zanzibar to the National Zeitung sftys that the influx of poor Germans into that region is causing a rapid reduction of wages, and that only mechauics with some capital have a chance of success, jaron Wissmann has issued a pamphlet ox- plaining that his attack on Protestant mission- aries in East India referred to English and Scotch missionaries, not German. He com- plained especially of Scotch missionaries for acting as political agents to aggrandize Eng- land at the expense of Germany and Portugal. The editor of the Petit National and M.
