They Are Batisfied With Their Diplomatic Efforts. No Apparent Obstacles Oppose an Amicable Settlement, Russia Represented as Doing the Oourting for Peace, The Policy to be Pursued in Establish- ing Limits in the Disputed Ter- ritory—Other Foreign News, ANGLO-RUSSIAN AFFAIRS, GLADSTONE SERS NO DIFFICULTIRS, Gladstone stated in the house of commons this afternon that no communication had and England in regard to the ccoupation of Port Hamilton island, In responso to a question by Sie Stafford North- cote, Gladstone said that all impediments in tho way of a friendly prosecution of corres- pondence between Russia aud England on the Afghan question appeared to have boen removed. The govarnments he said, were now ready to refer to the sov- erign of some friendly state any difficulties which might be found to exist in regard to tho agreement of the 17th of March, with a view of a settlemant of the matter in & mode consistent with the honor of both sides. Con- tinuiog, Gladstone eaid that both Rus England were prepared to resame for in London communications on the main polnts on the line of delimiting the Afghan frontier, but the details had to be examined and traced on the spot in conformtiy with the conditions formally agreed upon. ‘‘Russia,” maid the premier, “has expressed herself willing to agree to the removal of the Russian outposta.” Referring again to the subject of n ro- sumption of communicationa in London, in England and Russia, Mr. Gladstone said that they would be much facilitated by the full and exact knowledge which the government now possessed of the ameor's viaws since the ‘meeting between him and Earl Dufferin, and the valuable topographic information which had since reached Evgland, Sir Charles Dieke, president of the lccal government board, announced for the government that it was imporative, in the interests of the country, that the house proceed at onco 'with & voto of oredit. A number of members .at once put interrogatories to the gavernment concerning the worthiness of the reports of Gen, Sir Poter Lumeden and Gen. Komaroff. Mr. Gladstone answered in detail stating in sub- stanoe that the dispute of the Peujdeh inci- dent had never been a question of trial of any officer but one which concerned the honor of the two governments involved in the March agreement, It was not in the power of either arty to the sgreement to claim the right of interpretation. The speaker believed the agreement would be found sufficiently cle Lord Randolph Churchill, the young conseavative leader now arose and launched into a savage assault on the government. Tho argument just made on behalf of the gov- ernment was a terrible piece of news for those anxious for the safety of the Indian empire, ““The government,” cried out his lordship, “has made a base and cowardly surrender of every point at issue to Russia, I greatly fear that as o result we have lost Tndin “Tord Randolph continuing, said that he protested sgainst the conduct of the government in submitting the vote of credit on Monday last without giving the slightest indication of their olioy and the exact point at issue with Russla, The latter, he continued, had been for long time breaking the agreement of 1873 with respect to Ceotral Asiv ~ In re- gard to the Afghans, Lord Chuchill insisted that the Russiana long ago passed the boun- dary which they had promised o respect as the rightful frontier line of the ameer's dominon. In 1882 a series of pledges were voluntaly given by Russio concerning the boundaryand all of them had been deliberate- 1y broken. Mr. Henry Labouchere, radical, moved that the vote of credit be reduced from 855, 000,000 to $85,000,000. The motion was re- jocted—yens, 20; nays, 79, The majority in- cluded the conservative leader. The Parneil- ites voted with the miwority, The speaker then put the maia question for a vote of credit of $55,000,000, Several members questioned Gladstone but falled to eliclt _an further information from him, Sir Randolph Churchill eaid he feared that when news should become known in India, Eogland would lose all the respect, sympathy, and loyalty of the o decl history of Rustiw's negotiations with Evgland waa a record of treachery, fraud, and falschood Rememberinff the action ofJthe government in the present matter and thy useless sacrihcos in the Soudav, it was impossible to repose the slightest confidence in the government, and 1t was farcical to acquiesce in the prosent vote. He implored the munisters who were | T dealing with the present cri is to remember the past perfidy of Russia_and their duty to Eogland and to Iadia, (Loud cheers,) Gladstyne arose, and replied that there had been no vhange in the government's pol oy since Mondsy last, when the house voted in favor of the credit. The governments were trying to obtaiu a definite Russo-Afghan frontier, aud ha trusted they wonld succeed. At prosent there was no froatier in existence, enabljng one power to call anothar to account for cro.sing a forbidden line, Hhe con- tinued that if papers when pub- lished ~ showed the ameer did not deswre the advanced frontier England had no right to force it on him. fo Gladstone’s judgment any apearance of hesiation in agreeing to the credit would be a serious pub- lic evil, He had no objection to sweeping criticiem, but when happily there was & pros- pect of favorab e issuo in a different crisis e asked the house not to derogate from what it had already patriotically done. He de, clared that if 1n such period of anxiety and difficulty the goverument were unworthy of being trusted, the sooner they were released from their responsibilities the better. A motion that the debate be adjourned was defeated—yoss 151, nays 118 A motion was then made that the 'house he adjourned, = Gladstone opposed the motion saying that he did so under & deep sense of | public duty, Sir Stafford Northeote explained | that the opposition had no wish to exhibit a policy of hesitation but simply wanted time to understand the government policy. Mo- tion to ajjourn was lost—yeas, 109; nays, 111, as was motion toadjourn debate, Further motion to adjourn the house was made where- upon Gladstone suegested that if the vote of credit was ngreed upon the discussion of the Viibject pould bo raised on Thursday in the committes of supply. Sir Stafford North- cote assented to this suggestion and the mo- tion to adjourn was negated, The vote of credit waa then agreed to—yeas, 130; nays, 20, IMPOLITIC TO OPPOSE, After Gladstone had annvunced the peace arrangements in the houss of commons the conservative members held a meeting and decided that it wou'd be impolitic to oppose the vote of credit, RUSSIA'S DLTIMATOM, A communication from the Ruesian gov- ernment _ defines the scope of atbi tration, It includes the military ques- tion but is to be limited tn the consideration of the explannation with reference to the alleged violation of the con- vention terms. The arrangement indicates that the arbirrators functions will be to find a formula of conciliation consistent with the amour propre of both sidea.

GRANVILLE PLEADS FOR PEACR, LoNno, May 4.—M, Do Staal was pres ent at the royal academy banquet to-day. Earl Granville in a speech expressed the somewhat confident hope that both England and other friendly nations represented here might find for years to come by honorable good relations the means of continu,| ing their course along the paths and fertilizing channols of continwous peace. Granville eaid that both goveroments would facilitate the inquiry as much ns possible into the Penjalh iacident, The district will remain nentral mmuqr during the progress of the negotiations, The Russian govern- ment, continued Granvillo, have stated their readiness to_consider the question of with- Arawing thels troops, should the decision of the Afghan boundary commission prove to be i them, Any differences that may arise reparding the interpretation of the pas- sage in the dispatches of the two governments would be dealt with in & manner cousistent with the honor of both countries, To other interrogations, Granville said that the British government had sanctioned the reisue of the Bosphore-Egyptien without giving any opin- ion s to the logality of the action, France having demsnded nrmgenlng of the cffice of the paper and the punishment . f the persons concerned 1n the act of seisure and suppres- rion, Fogland caused a legal inauiry to be made into the matter and ascertainiog from this inquiry that the suppression of the Bos- phere-Igyptien was unwarranted Inzland without discussing her share of the responsi bility for the act of seisure advited Fgypt to apologize to Franco and allow the paper to reappear, AN ULTIMATUM FIXED, St. PyTRUSBURG, May 4 —It is stated that the imperial ministry in council have decid finally upon the utmost limita of concossion which Russin is willing to_make to Eogland in the pending Afzhan controversy.

Itisalso said that both Russia and England had agreed that the difficulties which had arisen_from thel}Penjdeh inciden should b submitted to full investigation and reference to friendly powers. The Times urges that an advance upon Herat by the Russians should cause a district casua belll, without further delicate discus- slon.

IN THE ORIENT, RUSSIA AND CHINA, Loxpoy, May 4. — Dispatches from Shanghai state Lin dispute between China and Russia regarding the frontier of Man- choori has become acute, owlnf to the non- arrival of Ruesia's members of the delimita- tion commission, and the omission and con- stant postponement of the date of their ar- val at the place of meetiog to settlo the boundary question. The Chinese commis- sionera have been ready for months to begin work, and the failure of the Russian com- missioners to meet thew has caused the Chin- ess government to believe that the same farca enacted respecting the Afghan frontier will be performed in this case, Now that the ditRculty with France ia relation to Tonquin has been settled, China has become more courageous, and has demanded that Russia fulfil her part of the agreement, which led to the appointment of the commission.

Alarge number of delegates was in town attending the annual meeting of the Nebraska City district Sunday school institate of the ethodist church, It opened Tuesday_and closed Thursday afternoon. Ministers and delogates wete present from the most of the towns in southeastern Nebraska. The Rev. M. A, Gault, of the national reform associa tion, addressed the institute on Tuesday. In speaking of the religious condition of the country, he gave some Interesting figures, Of the 15,000,000 children of tchool sge in the Uuited States, only about 5,000,000 were in the Sunday schools, How were the 10,000,000 children_outside to ba reached by moral instruction? Every year the Bible was excluded from more of the public schools, It was estimated that eight-tenths of the young men of the nation were outside the church. Only 5 per cent of them were members of the church. St Joseph, Mo., was not worse than other cities of ita eize, In it were 7,(00 resident young men, and not more than 400 of these were church members, H trembled for the chiistian institution of the country when the controling influences of the nation were in th, hands of the young men of to-day. He eaid not more than three of the presidents of our republic, had been church members. The great majority of mea in high positions were not christians. Our suffering ex-Presi- dent Grant had given no satisfactory evi- dence that he was a christian, Dr. Hobbes, of Pawnee City, thought the church was to blamao for the fact that so many were contented o live outeide her pale, 'The spirit of christ was wanting to such an extent that the power of the church was not what it should bo and men wore not attracted by it. On Friday several saloons were opened here, and the back yard bottle business will now cease. 3 Our reform club is alive and active, Ladies are circulating petitions for the closing of sa- loons.

Sr. PAUL, Minn,, May 4,—Transcontinental emigrant rates are demoralized. A few months ago the transcontinengal association reduced emigrant rates from New York to San Francleco to $50, This was done to meet low rate by the sunset route.

Fred Bennett, in command of the companies of the fourth infantry, Illinoia National Guard, in camp at the Joliet stone quarry, at Joliet, received a special order from the governor to proceed with his com- mand to Lamont at once and disperse the crowd of strikers. A special train was at once procured and at 8 o'clock the soldiers wore enroute via the Alton road to the scene of disturbance, and at 9 o’clock arrived at a point one and one-half miles south of the city, where the train was stopped and the troops disembarked and formed quickly, They were met at the county line by Deputy Sheriff Potter, of Cook county, who ordered COol. Bennett to deploy his troops and prepare for a fight, a8 a large body of men hid gathered at the depot intending to attack the train as soon as it moved up., Company D, Capt. Blanchard, of Ottawa, commanding, was ordered to deploy as skirmishers, and the command was spoedily obeyed and the line set in motion down through the quarries, the lineextending from tho canal on the left totbe bluffs on the right. The main body, consist- ing of company A, under Lieut. St. Clalr; company B, Capt. Jrckson of Joliet; company G, Capt. Smith of Bloomington, all infantry, and the gatling detachment from battery C, of Joliet, under command of Liuet, Kimber, of Springfield, moved north on the bluff road nntl? a street was reached which crossed at right angles, Hero they were met by the city marshal, who ordered THE TROOPS TO HALT and announced that they could not enter the town, Col. Bennett erdered him to ‘‘shut up” or be would put him under arrest. The city marshal subsided but a howling mob of sey- eral hundred men, who had followed at his heels, armed with clubs and stones, begau muking warhke demonstrations, Company G and the gatling qun detachment were thrown out to the right and moved over the street east and higher up the bluffs to a pomt three blocks north and halted in & command- ing position under Maj.

Hemmened on three sides by from 600 to 1,000 angry, hooting men, two military companies numbering all told some seventy-five or eighty officers and troops were placed in the most unenviable position, and farther forbearance would have been the doom of the militia, The iirst four files of company B were de- ployed across the street to the north, from which auother body ot strikers was approach- ing, and the mob persisting in the attack, several soldiers opened fire, About ten shots were fire into the crowd and the command was given to CHARGE UFON THE MOB The latter retired and dispersed, In the meantime Capt.

Laxoxt, Ill, May 4,—The strike among the quarrymen here and at Joliet has finally assumed proportions of magnitude. The men who went out because they falled to receive an advance of wages from $1.50 to $1.75 a day have been in a tutbulent condition for four weeks, duriog which period the quarries have all been idle, A number of quarry owners had repeatedly tried to resume operations, but the strikers invariably drove the workmen away, and for two weeks have don.inated and in & measure terrorized the entire surrounding region. It became evident on Friday that the county authorities could not control them and the governor was asked to send troops. ponded promptly by eending five companies trom Joliet, Ottawa, LaSalle, Streator, and Bloomington, The first meeting between the troopsand the strikers occurred between Lemont and Joliet on Saturday afternoon, but the 400 strikers who were marching on to Joliet from Lamont fled when exposed to a sudden attack by the militia, Seventy of their number however, were_captured by the troops, disarmed an marched to Joliet under guard, On Sunday morning the sheriff of Will county released the prisoners and they re- turned to Lamont, where they are credited with provoking trouble which resulted in the serlous rioting of to.day. The occasion of the bloodshed to-day is therefore generally attributed to the ill advised action of Sheriff Rietz, of Joliet, who has been charged in some quarters with havi sympa- thized with the rioters, fl-neru Te- ‘mained quiet on Sunday, but when the troops arrived from Joliet this morning to protect the quaries at Lamont they were met by a very largo and appareutly well organizad mob, Prior to the coming of the troops the rioters bad boarded several passenger traing on the Chicago & Alton road, and armed with clubs attempted to prevent the disbarking of any troops. The troops were landed however one milesouth of Lamont. At 6:30 o'clock this morning Col. Bennett, commanding the troops at Joliet, received ORDEBS FROM THE GOVEBNOR to proceed to Lamont. A special train was in walting and at 8 o'clock four companies of the 4th regiment with a detachment of C batte of artillery of Jollet, and a gatling gun ane camp equipment left for Lamont, ~About one mile from town they were met by Deputy Sheriff Potter and the troops disembarked.

St. Clair; company G, of Joliet, under Capt. kson; company G, of Bloomington, Capt. Smith, and tfi: at ling gun detachmens under Lieut. Kimber, of Springfield, moved north along the bluff road until they reached the street crossing at 1ight angles to the bluff, when they were met by the city marshal, FOLLOWED BY A CROWD making demonstrations. The marshal ordered the troops to halt, but he was told by Col, Bennett to retire or he would be placed under arrest, He then retired, Company G moved across the street and going up throe streets north took up & commanding position with the gathing gun detatchment under cover, Maj Heffernon biog in command of the de- tatchment. Deputy Sheriff Potter then went forward and ordered the mob to disperse, They refused and companies A aad B, in ¢ lumns of companiss advanced up strect and drove the crowd back at the POINT OF THE BAYONET, The mob then retlred into houses and yards but a portion faced the troops, makiog demon- strations and throwing stones, Soon thoss who hal gone into the houses returned and attacked the troops 1n the rear (a signal being given by the firing of a pistol from a window. company A suffering severely, no less than sixieen men being hit by stones and one of them, Private George Baggs, was rather badly hurt, The rear rank of the company faced about AND OPENED FIRE Company B was attacked on the right flank further north and the first four of the com pany was deployed across the road as the mob ersieted in an attack, Some ten shots were fired and the company charged the mob which retired, It was here that the casualties oc- curred, The command then advanced up the street and were joined at the railway depot hiy cnm{‘)lny D, which had been skirmishing along the railroad at the point of attack aud advanced with the main body to the ceuter of town, whero the command was halted cover- ing all the streets, company D going to Canal bridge, ‘The command then went to Singer & Gal. cott’s quarries but returned as THE MOB GATHERED again, but quickly {dispersed, The troops then went into camp and though there are large crowds hanging around, eversthing at present is quiet., There are grave fears of & disturbance as soon as night fall appesrs.

June wheat, which closed at 91fc on the board Naturday and sold up to 92¢ on the curb after the session, opened up to-day at 90fc and soon broke down to 90c. Tt was, forthe most part, & scalping market, and consequently thers was & lack of heavy transactions, It is said that the country holds a great deal of wheat, and the boys thought that by opening the market away down they could shake the country out, The game falled to work, however, for the most of the orders recelved from the outside were to buy and not to sell. The holders of wheat are pinning their faith to bad crops and the hope that o decrease in the visible supply will steadily continue. The price of June wheat did not fluctuate much after the reaction from the break. This state of affairs continued until just beforo the close of the morning session, Then camo & wild desire to sell, It was either from the fact that the crowd found that they had loaded u to0 heavily and were afraid to carry the stuff, or that they wanted to give the oountry auother ehake, ~ At any rato the market was hammered persstently and broke down to 893c, where it closed. CORN, Peace news and higher conols influenced corn before the opening, resulting in » grand rush tosell. May opened at 484cand June waa sold ali the way from 48ic to 48fo. After the 1ush to sell & desire to buy came over the operators, and throughout the session trade was fairly active. The shipments posted in round numbers were 700,000 bu, and a looked for decrease in_the_visible supply made the ‘market firmer than it would have been other- wise. Tho ecxpected decreaso is put at 1,600,000 bu, PROVISIONS continue weak with no apecial teature tonote. Together with the fact that there was.a large supply of hogs reportedat the yardsandinsym. pathy with the grain markets, pork dropped steadily. The June option, which closed Saturday at $11.65, opened 20c lower and closed at $11.22}, CATTLE.

LoNvoy, May 4.—The Mark Lane Ex- press in tha review during the last week says: *'The weather has been seasonable. Sales of English wheat during the week were 67,636 quarters ab 276, 1d., against 08,121 at 37s, 4d, during the corresponding week of last year, Businees in foreign wheat has been small and upsatisfactory with values dependiog from day to day on the prospects of peace or of war, In the off-oast market nothing was doing, Eight cargoes arrived. One cargo was witedrawo,and seven remained, including four of Califoruia. Fourteen cargoes are due, Passage is fairly active with values fluctuatiog, At to-day’s market but little business was done, owing to the uncertain condition of politics, Wheat was nominally 2 shillings lower; flour dull, and 1 shilling cheaper; corn scarce; barlcys were rather lower, and beans and peas were un changed. e —— —The fire at 2 o'clock yesterday was in Hugh McMaous' paint and wall paper shop on Bixteenth street near Cass avenue, The damage done will not exceed §00, CURES SORE EVES.

Eustis Regarded as Belog in an Em- barrassing Position—He Will Sap- port the Administration, WATTERSON'S IMPRESSIONS; ME SUSTAINS CLEVELAND, WASHINGTON, May 4.—Henry Watterson who has been here the past week, to-night wrote to his paper as expreesive of his impres sion of President Cleveland and his admini teation: “‘A slicht attack of sore eyes sug- gested a visit to Washington and having tried the executive and departmental treatment for nearly a week, it has occurred to me that a brisf account of some impressions of the ad] ministaation may be of interest to the readers of the Courder-Journal. On a certain occa- sion Artemus Ward stepped in front of his canvas and pointing to the passing scene sad to his audience: ‘Ladies and gentlemen: these are horses, It was only this mormng that the artist came to me with tears In his eyos and exclaimed “I can conceal it from you no longer, Mr. Ward, they sro horses.” In its entire utterances and appoint- ments the administration has o spoken to tho country. 1t can conceal 1t no longer. Itisa ocratic administration, For my part,” continues Mr, Watterson, I haye never doubted this in the least.” He then deiails how *‘personal contact and oppor- tunities for getting at both sideslof pcints of criticlem have_strengthened theto original impressions and the case of tore eyes has has entirely dil-f)pened.” Watterson then, in his characteristic manner, dwells upon'the admirable qualities of the president and .nci- dentally refers in a similar vein to Miss Cleveland, Mr, Watterson deems the pres- ident equally loyal to Lis great_place and to his parsy, asking no favors and lookine to his work to vindicate itself, Says the dispatch: “Very great forbearance and a patient temper should be extended by the public to such a public servant.” The attack of Senator Eustis upon the ad- ‘mintstration seems to Watterson equally just and wise, Although the president has been two months in office there has been no attempt to shape a policy. Tho thankless duty of consdering the claims of aspirants has consumed all the time, Thero is doubt that when congress assembles Kustis will find himself 1n lyp“fi with the admin- isgration opon all the leading issues of the time, 80 that he will be in the awkward posi- tion of having its support forced from him in spite of his personal hostility. There will ba time enough to disown the administration when it violates its pledges. The communicatson closes thus: "I assnre the dieappointed and the doubting among democrats that If the president should go faster than heis going he would surely run bis bark ashore. Desst on all sides by comph- cations and bothered day 1n and dn{ out by importunities, this administration has kept its temper passing well aud has made nomore istakes than are common to new comers in officaand not 5o many as might have been ex- pected.” - —— PEEPING AT LORD ROSCOE, CURIOUS CHICAGO PEOPLE BEE CONKLING IN COURT—HIS LOOKS AND VIEWS, Cuicaco, 11, May 4.—At the government building to day there was a large crowd early this morning eager to catch a glimpse of Roscoe Conkling, who appeared as council in the patent case of Hammershdo vs. the Butler paper company, in which a motion for an in- junction to restrain an infringment was to bo argued before Judgo Blodgett.
