The Largest Vote Yet Cast by the House of Lords. Special Cable Dispatch to The Evening Star. LONDON, Sept. 9—The farcical proceed- fngs in the house of lords culminated last Bight In the inevitable rejection of the home rule bill. The whole thing was so transparent as to excite only feelings of Yesentment and disgust. The magnificent Betting of the historic house with the gal- Jeries crowded with the highest and fairest in the land served to emphasize the dismal character of the debate. which was only re- Heved by the oratorical flashes of Rose- bery. Argyle. Herschell and Salisbury. The great fact stands out pronrinently that the bill which occupted months of dis- cussion in the representative house of com- mons was killed in less than a week in the hereditary chamber, which was so deep- ly concerned In the welfare of the country that over fifty peers who last night parttci- pated in the rejection of the great popular Measure had not until this weck even pre- fented themselves to be sworn in. Las: night's division was the largest ever recorded in the house of lords, and the minority of 41 was the hizhest that had been anticipated by the Wheral whips. It comprised the following peers: Lord Chan- cellor Herschell, the Marquisses of Ripon and Breadaibane, Earls Chesterfield, Spen- er. Granville, Russell, Kimberly, Rosebery, Elgin and Ashburnham. Viscount Oxen- bridge and Barons Camoys, Wentworth, Boyle, Vernon, Thurlow. Carrington, Rib- Sand- Blesdale, Leigh, Houghton, hurst, Aberdare. Coleridge, bourne. Monkewell.

Special Cable Dispatch to The Evening Star. LONDON, Sept. 9.—The reinforcernents of troops and police sent to the coal strike districts yesterday appear for the moment to have intimidated the rioters, but the danger is not yet passed. Reports arrived this morning of ugly several places. The South Yorkshire strik- ers have shown great determination. The Pontefract riots were deliberately planned to take place while the police we [engaged at the Doncaster Wakefield magistrates met the West Riding magistrates yesterday, and forwarded a | Joint resolution to the home office for an | additional thousand troops and police. In response to this demand 2@ troops from Aldershot, mostly mounted, and %» London police, were dispatched last night. Troops are on the way to the distributed districts from the jorwich and Colchester garri- sons. The Sheffield coal owners, alarmed at the destruction of property, sent a cepu- tation to Mr. Asquith, the nome secretary, to urge rigorous measures. ‘The Leeds col- liers have arranged a monster demonstra- tion for today.

Lord Masham’s colliery was the scene of the worst riots, where three strikers died of bullet wounds and five oth- ers, it is feared, are dying, was garrisoned yesterday, and the military and police were alert all night long, the men picketing around wood fires lighted in the colliery yard, with rifles stacked beside them, ready instantly to repel any assault on the col- Hery. ‘These precautions cowed the rioters and | up to this hour no serious disorder has | broken out. managed and equipped in the north of Eng- land.

ST. LOUIS. Sept. 9.—So far as this city is concerned the hard times seem to be over. Many factories and shops are again running works that three months ago were | idle. ‘A local newspaper has made a careful computation of the industries that have already or will soon resume operations and by actual count 11,790 men will by the 20th be at work in factories and foundries that were frightened into closing by the “hard times” panic.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9—The initial prices in today’s market reflected an improvement of 1-4 to 1 per cent over last night's clos- ing.

The usual process of discounting expect- ancies had at the end of the first hour marked prices up to the highest point of the day. Manhattan was again a conspicu- ous feature and advanced to 128 1-2, a gain of 3 1-2 per cent from the opening. Reading gained 1 3-8 per cent to 21 3-8, and Lacka- wanna sold up to 141-2, an improvement of 1 3-4 per cent. In the industrials sugar and Chicago Gas were the most active, the former openiag et an advance of 1 per cent and adding another on szles to %. The latter gained two points to 6134 and declined at the close to 62 1-2. ‘The clearing house statement for today showed exchanges $73,700,969, balances $1, | 817,387 and the subtreasury’s debit balance | $541,337. The banks have been gaining | steadily during the week through sub- treasury operations, due in a measure to | the paying of pension warrants over the | counter. | (The bank statement, while falling a trifle short of the estimated increase in reserve, was fully up to general expectations. The increase of $4,500,000 in lawful money, | divided about equally between specie and legal tenders, is fully shown in the reserve, as the decrease In loans has served to keep | the deposits about stationary. The banks are now about $3,000,000 above the legal requirements, and the reserve is pretty eveniy distributed, all the national banks being up to the 2% per cent Itmit feasts the state banks averaging about 22 per cent. 7 is the first time in many weeks that the weekly statement has shown the asso- ciated banks in a thoroughly healthy con- dition and currency in good supply.

Easier money will naturally follow and lend- ing on mixed collaterals be again in order. Clearing house certificates ually redeemed also, and al [recent monetary makeshifts destroyed. The market reacted at the close, a pro- ceeding suggested by good prices and the subsequent taking of profits by the profes- sional element. The strength of the market during the week has demonstrated that the short in- terest was abnormally large and that con- siderable stock has been absorbed by in- Yestors and temporarily withdrawn from speculative channels. At no time has there been any pressure to sell and in many in- stances the shorts have discovered to their ultimate sorrow that the demand was greater than the supply.

MOTHER AND CHILD DOING WELL. General Rejoicing Over the Happy Event. THE PRESIDENT’S DAY. The White House is in a state of joy and glee today. Exactly at noon the Presi- dent's second child was born. The cvent occurred without attracting any unusual attention, and it was two hours before the news of the baby’s arrival was made known. The announcement, which was given out at 2 o'clock, was accompanied by the state- ment that Mrs. Cleveland and her new daughter were doing very well at that hour, and there was no anxiety felt for the safety of either. Some Little Disappointment. When the news of the sex of the second child spread through the White House there was a general feeling of disappoint- ment. Beby Ruth has no brother. Her sister, however, is as fine a baby as ever drew breath under the protection of the stars and stripes, and, though her weight is not officially reported, is generally rumored 4 to tip the scales at no less than ten pounds. Dr. Bryant was present and officiated. Mrs. Perrine, Mrs. Cleveland's mother, had not arrived at 3 o'clock, and it was Impos- sible to ascertain exactly when she would come. A recent interview with her hus- band quoted him as saying that his wife was coming east soon to nurse her daugh- = Presumably at such an occasion as s. There was a strange ignorance prevail- ing the entire household, both as to Mrs. Perrin’s whereabouts and as to any inter- esting news of the auspicious event. The President's Morning. There was a general air of expectancy about the White House all the forenoon, and it was patent to the most unobservant that something unusual was in progress. All the messengers, doorkeepers, and, in fact, everybody about the house, had a solemn air of mystery and refused all in- quiries on the all absorbing question to Private Secretary Thurber. That gentleman was even more reticent than his assistants. He said that if any- thing took place that could possibly in- terest the public he would see that the newspapers were informed. Frequent Messages. In the meanwhile the President zemained in his office most of the time receiving visitors and attending to his official duttes. ‘There was nothing in his manner to in- dicate any unusual anxiety, but it was noticed that he received messages from the interior of the house at very short inter- vals, and that he took @ deep interest in the communication: bg eet s the first esident_ wa antag ce sick chamber to be fnformed that the crisis had passed and that Mrs. Cleveland and her girl baby were doing exceedingly well. The President had a private interview with the physician and Tecelved his congratulations on the nappy termination of their anxteties. ‘The News Kept Quiet for Two Hours. At the President's suggestion nothing was said of the event for two hours later, when he fmparted it in person to Mr. ‘Thurber with the remark that It might be made public. Received the Japanese Prince. ‘Within a few minutes after he had heard the joyful news the President was informed that the Japanese prince was awaiting in the blue partor to pay his respects. The President had made an engagement to re- ceive him at noon, and he decided to keep it, regardless of his deep personal interest in other matters just at that particular time. The prince was in ignorance of what had occurred, and will probably not know of it until he reads The Star. His visit Congratulnted. person out- dent very long. He Resumed His Duties.

BORN IN THE WHITE HOUSE. Little Ones Who First Opened Their Eyes in the Old Mansion. he first Just as President Cleveland was t chief executive to be married in the White House, so, too, is the baby upon whom the whole nation smiles lovingly today the first child of a President to be born under its roof. The record of births in he old man- sion is shorter than the list of the mar- riages, and, sad enough, doubling them both would not cover the number of deaths and funerals there. Of the babies who first saw the light of day in the old house, and if they lived the world has not forgotten un- der what a lucky star they made their de- but, probably only two are living until this happy event added another. ‘One is Mrs. Mary Emily Donelson-Wilcox, a daughter of Andrew Donelson, nephew of President Jackson and the private secre- tary and confidential adviser of “Old Hick- ory” during his entire official life, and the other 1s Julia Dent Grant, the first child born to Col. and Mrs. Fred Grant and now a young lady just past sweet sixteen. Mr. and Mrs. Donelson had two other chil- dren born in the White House, which with a grandchild of President Jefferson and an- other of President Tyler complete the list. Of christening fetes in consequence of these happy additions to the census of the District some stand out as marked occa- sions. Mrs, Wilcox has said of the event of which she was the smallest but at the same time the most important personage: 3oth houses were invited and for a few minutes I was of more importance than any of the great diplomats, jurists or statesmen at the capital. Over near the big window of the east room the ceremony was per- formed, Uncle Jackson holding me in his arms and Martin Van Buren standing as godfather, while Miss Cora Livingston, daughter of the Secretary of State and the reigning belle and beauty of that adminis- tration, took upon herself the responsibili- tles of godmother. T was said to have be- haved very well during the ceremony.” When Miss Julia Dent Grant was christ- ened the company invited by President and Mrs. Grant assembled in the blue room, where the ceremony occurred. ‘The last christening to take place in the blue room was during the first part of Pres- ident Harrison's term, when his grand- daughter. Mary Lodge McKee, was bap- tized with water from the River Jordan, and the clergyman officiating was the ha- by’s grandfather, the venerable Dr. Scott.

From the Globe-Democrat. ‘The woman barber cannot be success. In almost every city women have opened barber shops with a great flourish of trumpets and have been patronized very Iberally by the youths of the city, who re- garded the idea as distinctly novel. But the cases where the project has proved anything like a success are very rare. It looks very easy to strop a razor, but every man who has tried to shave himself recoi- lects how he has absolutely failed to pro- duce the desired effect, in spite of the most vigorous application of energy and what he regarded as skill. A woman ts at still greater disadvantage and can seldom sharpen even a penknife, let alone a hol- low-ground razor. The only possible chance the average woman barber has is to keep @ man busy sharpening her razors, and by. so doing she has to pay the bulk of her profits in the way of superfluous wages. see She Knew Him. uecenn- From ‘Troth. : made you think so?" ie Wry ik how he drags his feet when RATHER STARTLING. American Missionaries in Ohina Are Like Anarchists, Says Mr. Geary. He Would Vote to Withdraw Protec- tion From Them—The Geary Law to Be Enforced. Representative Geary of California, au- thor of the law of 1892 providing for the de- portation of unregistered Chinese in the United States, is satisfied that the provi- sions of the law will be enforced by the ad- ministration. Yesterday and today he had interviews with President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle upon the subject, and, later, said to a reporter for the United Press: “The law will be carried out. As- surances have been given me on that point which are thoroughly satisfactory.” ‘I understand that a circular letter of Instructions is now being prepared at the Treasury Department, and will be issued within a short time. Inquiries have been made of the steamship officers In Call/or- nia as to the rates which will be charged for carrying the Chinese home, and an. swers have been received, upon’ the busi of which the work will proceed.

Every afternoon about 6 o'clock, in a side street not far from Herald square, two Itallans arrive with their hand organ, and for about an hour the street is alive with music and dancing. At the first strains of music ground out by the strong arm of the son of Italy from twenty to forty children, chiefly girls, sud- denly appear. Where do they come from? From Broadway and from 6th avenue and from 7th avenue, up from the pavements apparently and out of the brick walls of the houses on each side of the street. Their axes vary from three years to sixteen; they are of the extreme blond and of the ex- treme brunette types, including the negro, and of all types between that are neither blond nor brunette. Their light colored dresses of different hues produce a pretty effect, and not one of the girls wears a hat though the taste displayed in stockings and shoes Is excellent and the varieties exten- ve 5 ‘The children cluster in gropps on the broad, smooth pavement in front of a thea- ter, some of the older girls having baby carriages and babies to care for, and in- stantly, from each group, are detached the dancers in twos and threes. Now it is a waltz, and the little girls keep time admirably and dance gracefully; theze is not too much haste nor too much lan- guor. The music stone for a moment and the dancing stops with it. Now it begins again, and this time it is more rapid, more jiglike. ‘The girls recommence dancing, keeping time with a different step, but still in a dignified manner. A colored girl about ten years old cannot resist this style of muste, and every bit of her begins to dance —her arms, her legs, her head, her whole body dance—every joint seems loosened. She throws her arms around another col- ored child a little smalle> than herself and drags her unwillingly about. Presently she releases her and dances by herself. She seems possessed of the spirit of motion—she cannot keep still. Boys Won't Dance. ‘The boys do not dance.

From a dressing room window above looks out the head of an actress and farther away, from an upper window, two of the stage hands look down upon the pretty scene. ‘And the little girls dance on. The music stops and then begins a new tune. The children stop for a few minutes, and then begin again with the music. ‘This time it is another step. They take hands, forward and back, swing together, separate and repeat the figure. There are a number of them doing this gracefully, thoughtfully. ‘A child in a scarlet gown, with jet black curls, seems a favorite and dances with enthusiasm. Only a few colored children indulge in this dance. The others look on. It is too stately, too dignified for the Aft can character or for the youthful fire of energy in the limbs of these irrepressible bits of humanity. ‘The Last Dance. ‘The music changes for a fourth time, and again the children dance a different step and figure. This ts a more elaborate dance than the others and has an element in it that might perhaps in time develop into some high kicking. The colored girls dance this with vigor and kick higher than the white girls. ‘The dance is in full swing when the music stops suddenly. The Italians wheel away their organ, apparently unconscious of or indifferent to the pleasure they have given the children, who immediately cease danc- ing and begin to scatter in every direction. ‘They are soon all gone, the scattering pro- cession being followed up by a rear guard of seven baby carriages, holding seven ba- bies and pushed by seven of the older girls. ‘The stage hands disappear from their win- dow. the actress’ head ts withdrawn, the maid with the curl papers and big feather duster goes about her dusting and is followed by the young man in his shirt sleeves and the woman carrying a pink satin cloak. The coatless young men on the steps enter the theater, and once more the street as- umes its usual aspect and Is given up to traffic until the same hour the next day, when the children and the organ grinder have it all their own way again for an hour. NO COMPROMISE, The President Quoted ax Being Op- poxed to Anything of the Kind. A distinguished Senator who called on President Cleveland today sald: “I told the President that I had come to get from him a personal refutation or corroboration of these everlasting rumors of his agreeing to a compromise of some character on the stl- ver situation. I told him that he knew that I was favorable to unconditional repeal. I I sald also that I had taken tt upon myself —knowing him as I thought T did—to deny these rumors, but Mr. President,” I added, “some of these rumors are clothed with the garb of authoritative origin, and I think it ig due to me and your other sincere friends in the Senate to let us know your exact po- sition in the matter.” “I concluded by saying that T believed comprimise unnecessary, and that these rumors are doing us harm. The President sald very decidedly, “There is no truth in any rumor or report of a compromise. You may deny all such most emphadcally, and know that you are telling the truth. There will be no compromise. This repeal ill must pass without condition, and it will pass without condition.’ He asked me when I thought a vote would be reached, and I prophested two weeks. He said that such was his calculation also.” ——____+-o-+_____ Silver Purchases. ‘The Treasury Department purchased yes- terday 40,00 ounces of silver at its counter offer of $.740 per ounce.

From the Chicaco Tribune. “Look at that rat!” ‘The rodent was crawling up a ships’ haw- ser at Rush street. No monkey could have | swung himself with greater ease or more | quickly than did the rat, and almost before | any one could turn to look it had disap- peared over the vessel's bow. “The Chicago docks are swarming with rats,” said the man who had spoken. He was taking an after-dinner smoke with some friends, and watching the saucy little tugs swing the great lake craft alongside the wharf. He had been a seaman and a captain for many years, and was fond of prowling about the docks. “Wharf rats,” he continued, “get on board ship just in the way you suw that fellow climb up. I have seen them run on to a vessel by the dozen, skipping up the Tropes so quickly that three or four score of them would be down the hatches before | any effort could be made to stop the in-| vading swarm. Now, there is a queer thing about dock rats. Sometimes they all leave the docks here and make for other ports. | I have seen the time when you would not) find one of them on the docks in a month, — and I have seen them here at other times as they are now, in great swarms. Tt de- pends upon the food in port, or its scarcity | in other places. | “We could always tell when we had a/ few or many of the pests on board. The rats do not, as one would suppo the ship, but they get off at and, after remaining awhile, ship on some other vessel for another voyage. The water stroke. Substitutes, A. W. Johnson and L L. Harban. _— WANTS AN INVESTIGATION Of the Safety of the Public Buildings im This City. . . In the House this afternoon Mr. Coombs of New York introduced the following reso- lution: Whereas, the recent disaster to a public building in the city of Washington in which many of the employes of the government were engaged upon government work has given rise to rumors that other ‘buildings rented or owned by the government are in an unsafe condition, imperiling the lives of employes; Resolved, That a special joint committee composed of three members of the House and three of the Senate be appointed and authorized to Investigate the condition as to safety of any or all public buildings in this city. Also that the same committee report to Congress all facts ascertained, with recommendations, if any be neces: sary, the number, value and rental of each building rented for the use of the depari- ments. The committee is empowered to employ experts to send for persons and papers. Mr. Coombs asked immediate considera- tion of the resolution. Mr. Sayers of Texas objected on account of the expense, but withdrew, his objection when he learned the full tenor of the resolution. Mr. Richardson of Tennessee objected and re- fused to permit even an explanation by Mr. Coombs. The resolution went over. In speaking of the matter afterward to Star reporter, Mr. Coombs said: “The | gentlemen who objectel to the considera- tion of the resolution assume a great re- sponsibility in view of the impression pre- vailing that some of the public buildings are in such a condition as to endanger hu- man life. The government is paying 10 per cent interest on the value of buildings rented for departmental purposes and risking the lives of employes.” ———_—_—_+ e-_____. COLUMBIAN HALF DOLLARS. They Are Finding Thelr Way to th Treasary tor Redemption. An innocent-looking little Lill introduced by Mr. Morgan in the Senate this morning brings to the surface the fact that the world’s Columbian silver half Jollara, is- sued in ald of the fair, are rapidly Orfting back into the treasury. The bill is intended to release the Secretary of the Treasury from the compulsory redemption of sult diary coin, and it was intrateced at his Tequest. Its speedy passage will be urged. Under the law approved June 9, 1879, the holder of any silver coins of smaller de- nominations than one doliar can, on pre- sentation of the same in sums of $9 or any multiple thereof, receive therefor lawful money of the United States. The second section of the act directs any treasurer oF assistant treasurer of United States who may receive any colns under this act to exchange them in sums of $20 or any m Uple thereof for lawful money on demand of the holder. rats, or wharf rats, are great travelers, and’ make frequent voyages around the | nd even around the world—the lat- | I discovered, while engaged in Wes 1 saw | four colossal Jamaica rats, with their | white bellies, skipping about in the muon- | light a few weeks ago, and only yesterday | I killed two Indian male rats not two hun- | dred feet from where we're standing. 1 “Rats are great climbers when they find | it necessery to do so. Upon one of my voyages not long ago, we had a long spell of warm weather, and there was no water in the hold which the small army of rats | on board could get at. One night we put | some Water up at the cross-trees, and wait- | ed for the result. Well, the rats just swarmed up the ratlines and went for the water. We killed as many of them as we could as they came down, and some of them jumped overboard and were drown- ed. But we could not kill them ail, and @ few made the entire voyage with us.” - see Range of the Thermometer. The following were the readings of the ther- mometer at the weather bureau today: 8 «.m., 66; 2 p.m., 68; maximum, 68; minimum, 63. ‘What is the effect of this law becomes @ pertinent question in view of the position fo epeal it. I< appears that there is now rushing to the treasury of the United States from ail parts of the country an enormous volume of subsidiary coins, and a not in- considerable part of that ‘coin from Chicago. This is due, as explained by a Senator this morning, to the fect that the Columbian half dollars pledged to the baaks by the world’s fair management have not proven @ profitable investment. So the banks have taken advantage of this law and are forwarding them to the sub- treasuries for redemption and receiving therefor treasury notes In addition to these half dollars the law applies equally to all subsidiary coin, und every dollar of such coin coming to t treasury in conformity to this taw is re- deemable in treasury notes, and naturally these are redeemable in gold. ic is to prevent this drain in redeeming subsidiary coin that the Secretary of the Treasury de- sires the law repealed. The third section of the act, which makes all silver coins of lest denomination than dollar lexal tender in all sums not exceeding $10 in full pay. ment of all dues, public and private, is not disturbed.
