WALDEMAR'S NAME WITHDRAWN. One of the Results of Emperor William's Recent Visit to Osborne. HE WILL NOT RULE BULGARIA. The Czar's Consent Wanted to An other Berlin Conference — The Kaiser's Desire fop a General r European Peace ; Compact— An Understanding With Norway and Sweden — Festivities Attending the Medical Congress. Copyrighted IM»0 by the New York Associated Press. Berlin, Aug. 9.— One of the results of the interview at Osborne between Queen Victoria, Emperor William, the Prince of Wales and Lord Salisbury is the- with drawal of the candidature of Prince Walde mar for the Bulgarian throne. Family reasons, notably tho protest of the King of Greece, influenced this decision. Under promptings of Emperor William, both the Queen aud the Prince of Wales are beginnihg to take a more active part in the foreign policy of England. A SIGNIFICANT VISIT. To-night's Post gives suggestive promi ., nence to a special London dispatch saying that just as the Emperor's visit to O=borue in ISSB afforded a starting point leading to the Anglo-German agreement, and as the vi>it of the Prince of Wales to Berlin was not — without bearing v; on the treaty, so Foreign Office circles now b lieve that there was political significance in the present visit cf the Kaiser, the out come of which may astonish the world. The Post's allusions, as read here, i>oiut to a project of the Kaiser to obtain the Czar's assent to another Berlin ■Congress, timing at a general European peace com; act Implying the limitation of armaments. The belief in omVial circles here is that the Czar will treat the league of peace as a futility unless it is associated with the restoration of Russian dominance . in the Balkans and the permanent sati.-fy- Ing of .France. THE KAISER'S SUCCESS. Whatever the Kaiser's peace ideas may be, his movements tend to strengthen Ger man; In the event of war. His visit to may was immediately succe^ful in in ducing that Government to consent to the recruiting of Norwegians and Swedes for the German navy, an ample supply of fine seamen being thus afforded.

The inhabitants Pof Heligoland are making extensive prepa ' rations for the reception of the Emperor to murruw and thousands of visitors are ex pected. THE MEDICAL CONGRESS. The festivities attending the Medical Congress have constituted the heaviest work that most of the delegates have had. At the opening of the banquet Dr. Lyden proposed the health of Minister Phelps, who, in response, pointed to the presence - of 823 Americans as the most eloquent tes timony to the interest taken in the congress by' the medical profession in America. To ' ' night Fhelps marked the close of the con gress with a dinner given to Surgeon-Gen eral Hamilton and other army and navy of " ficials. * IN ABSOLUTE POSSESSION. Formal Transfer of the Island of Heligoland to G rminy London, Aug. 9.— The transfer of the Island of Heligoland tn tlie German authori ties was formally made to-day.

Subsequently Yon Boetticher gave a grand dinner at the Kurhau«. " BEWARE OF POISONERS." Organized Bands in Itdia Who Lure Travel en to Death. Calcutta, Aug. 9.— ln more than half the railroad stations here huge placards are displayed saying, "Beware of poisoners." Detailed warning is also given to travelers against accepting hospitality Inm the natives or pur chasing drinks or eatables of nny kind. These precautions are rendered necessary by the fact that organized bands of poison ers have infested the railways, peddling fruit, cakes, drinks, etc, to passengers chiefly at the stations. Their wares are poisoned and scores of persons have met death at their hands. Moreover, the inhabitants of villages themselves have taken up the trade and poison those whom they receive as guests. Iv these latter cases the object appears to be plunder, but in the former it can only be simply a desire to murder, since the poison ers nave no opportunity to rob the bodies of their victims. A perfect mania for such crimes has for some time prevailed on nearly all the routes of travel throughout India, and in spite of the police the hor rible trade is still pursued. DARING BANDITS. A Freight Train In Cuba Wrecked and the Conductor Shot. Havana, Aug. 9.— The public Is becom ing alarmed over tne frequent outrages com mitted by Garcia'* band of robbers. To day tbe band surprised a number of bands at work on tbe railroad between Havana and Matanzas, and compelled them to tear up one of the rails.

Guatemalan Forces Defeat the Rwolntlon- ists — Quiet in Salvador. City of Mexico, Aug. 9.— Dispatches from Guatemala deny tbe report that Mar tinez Sobral.lhe Secretary of State, has beeu arrested. He resigned his office, however, andSenorF. Anguiuno, Secretary of Just ice, has taken charge of bis portfolio. This denotes no change in the present policy. Government forces under General Pedro Barillas' routed the revolutionists at Tem pisque. Tlie revolutionary army, which was largely reinforced by Salvadorians, numbered 3000, while the Government troops numbered 1900. The Government loss was ligl.L The revolutionists lost 111 killed. Fifteen of the revolutionists were made prison ers, besides a number of horses. The bat tle lasted five hours. The whole country is now la a state of peace. Everything is quiet on the Salvadorian frontier. In Salvador commerce is wiving tran quilly, and there are no revolutionists. .Honduras is withdrawing her forces from the frontier, being threatened with interior troubles. WASHINGTON, An*. 9.— There is a grow ing beli.f here that the Slate Department has been regularly "playing possum" in its dealings with the public in regard to the Guatemalan troubles. It now appears that Minister Mizner has been heard from, not once, but a great many times; that he is at Li Libertad, and that he and the depart ment In Washington are in constant com munication. Although Mr. Blame la at present in bar Harbor, he is in correspond ence by mull and by wire with his assistant here, .Mr. Wharton, and there is little doubt that he is now engaged in an effort to patch up the squabble between Guatemala and Salvador. It can be stated that there is now in process of evolution a diplomatic solution of the difficulty between the two countries through' the medium of Blame and Mr. Mizner. Negotiations are in progress that might, it is said at the department, be totally frus trated by the present publication of the dis patches to and from the Minister at La Libertad. New York, Auc. 9.— A Herald special from the City of Guatemala, dated August 7th, by messenger to Nenton and the City of Mexico, August 9ln, say-.: Tne results of the lighting up to date have on the whole been against Guatemala. The V:llanuio movement is believed by ninny to have been a ruse neatly played, and it will cost Guatemala a gre t number of troops, though there is as yet no reliable information on the subject. A number of young Americans offered their services to President Barilla!, especially offering to accompany him to the field as his body guard, if he should find it necessary to .go. The President expressed his warmest appreciation of the generosity of these Americans. Dispatches to Colima are now carried by policemen in this city. If the war continues a month or two lunger it will cost the owners of the coffee plantations millions of dollars. The coffee harvests are just here And the crops will be lost, as the plantations are com pletely drained of packers to supply troops for the army; AFTER A FORTUNE. Mme.

I.iliian Nordica's marital experience will be iv a court-room, one sues for let ters of administration on her husband's property, aud incidentally demands a resi due of the estate from G. L. Qower, her husband's brother, which she claims he has wrongfully taken. in the early days of the telephone, Pro fessor Bell used a circuit between this city and Boston fur the first experiment. A young newspaper man, named F. A. Gower, became deeply interested in the new inven tion, and eventually wpiit on a lecturing tour with Professor Bell. Gower was a graduate ot Brown University, nnd well connected. He mastered the points of tel ephonic science in a short time, and secured » right to introduce it in Europe. He went abroad and in a few years made $■'>,< »X>,OOO. While in Paris he met Miss Lillian Nor ton, an Am- riean eirl who was studying mu sic, ami whose voice promised great things when fully developed. She lived with her mother, and unfortunately the Norton funds were about exhausted. Gower was smitten with the young singer's charms, and married her as soin as ne could. She proved tin expensive adjunct to his house hold. They lived on a magnificent scale wherever they went. Suddenly a halt whs called. A relative of Gower sprang up with a demand for $nO,(XKj which had to be met. Mrs. F. A. Gower promptly left her lnrd,co in;: to the Netherlands, and iv a short while instituting a t>uit for divorce in Boston. The grounds alleged were infidelity and criminal nets, him demanded alimony based from estimates on her recent scale of living. It was enormous. Gi.wer, iv the meantime, had become interested in balloon ing, nnd had placed his affairs in the hands of his brother hero iv Providence, G. L. Gower. He cave his brother an absolute power of attorney. Fred went to Paris, and the last that w.i; ever heard of him lie was In a balloon ou an aeronautic flight from Paris to liundmi, although there are s.iino who say they have seen him recently in India. His brother went abroad, but singlarly enough could not find a trace of his money or valuables. The widow was close on his heels, Uut was equally unsuccessful. G. L, Gower returned to this country and went to Washington Territory to live. He invested over 810,000 in Tacoma real estate, and this property, which is now worth $100,000, is the bone of contention. Mrs. F. A. Gower, tlie tuneful widow, in sists that the niouey came from her late husband's funds nnd rightfully belongs to her. There is one question of fact aud one question of law to be determined. Is she a widow? Nobody knows. Greea-Goodl Hen Arreited. New York, Aug. 9.— An attempt . to swindle Russell B. Harrison, son :of the President, by means ot the green-goods game was made about six weeks ago, and resulted to-day In the arrest of three men who gave their names as Charles Morton Joseph Barnard and James J.

A General Tie-Up Threatened on the Entire Yanderbilt System. Conflicting Reports on tbe Condition of tbe Strike — General Master Powderly Takes a Hand In tbe Fight. Special Dispatches to The Mdusino Call New York, Aug. 9. — The first train which left the Grand Central Depot this morning passed out at 4 o'clock. Four cars were attached and occupied by mail : sorters. No passenserj were aboard. The men by mutual consent agreed to fur nish enough assistance to allow the mail trains to run, but determined that not a single 'passenger nor pound of freight should be carried after 7 o'clock last night. At 8 o'clock a great number of train hands who did not belong to the Knights of Labor reported at the yard for work. They were instructed to set about clearing the tracks. They were compelled to get off the cars at Mott Haven, instead of coining to the Grand Central Depot, as usual, and had to rely upon the accommodation of the elevated railroad and street-cars to bring them downtown. The notice announcing the temporary suspension of passenger traffic has beeu taken down. Between C and 10 o'clock seven trains camu in, some through trains, uthers local, made up of tliu curs stalled at Harlem and Molt Haven. MOVEMENTS OF MAINS. Five through passenger trains were sent out this morniug. The New York and New Haveu. though not tied up, is blocked fur about ten miles out, until it leaves the main New York Central track. The strikers have all conducted them selves iv an oiderly manner. They say they arc determined not to work until tlie dis charged men are reinstated. The Executive Board of District Assembly IMG was in ses sion all nislit. Mr. Webb says the company will fight to the end. The men wba stood by the com pany would under no consideration be dis charged when the trouble is over. Already 200 have returned. He estimated the nuiu uer out at between 400 aud 500. Mr. Webb says everythiug is runniDg smoothly. "In fact," he said, "I was very sanguine early this morning that matters would so all right. They have gone butter than I expected. We are turniug men away now. There are more applicants for work than places to till." COMPLETE TIE-UP. Holland of tbe Executive Bonrd of the Knights of Labor at 2 o'clock this after noon stated that he understood that .-ill the engineers had been ordered cut and would probably leave work between now and to morrow morning. Tho engineers and Knights of Labor have arranged tor aconfeionce. Everything looks as though the engineers would go out. Thli will virtually stop ull traffic. At 4 o'clock this afternoon the New York Central wus almost completely tied- up from this lity to Kutlalo. The only trains to ru:i were loose carrying the mails. The strikers include all men, except engineers and lire men. COMMERCE IJT DANCER. Despite the denials of officials, the whole New York Central system is prac tically tied up by tiie strike and the struggle promises to be long mid bitter, as both sides are stubbornly deter mined not to give in. Every Knight of La bor employed in running the trains has quit work, aud the whole line between this city and Buffalo is struwn with abandoned freight aud passeuner traius. The com merce, of the State and country is in danger of being paralyzed, as tiie strikers will leave no stone unturned to carry their point. In fact the leaders of the strike in timate ti.at they will tie up every road in the Mate before to-morrow night unless their demands are complied with. Ou the other side, Vandeioilt is said to have issued an order to Vice-President Webb to crush out tho strikers, even if it cost a million dollars. .Man;, thousands of trainmen, switchmen and yardmen are out iv the freight aud pas seuger yards of the New York Central in this city. They say tu«y will extend the war to the West Shore, the Harlem road, Lake Shore and Nickel Plate, if they are not met amicably. Hundreds of thousands of tons of freight are completely blockaded and passenger traffic is greatly delayed. MEASURES TO PROTECT WORKINUMEX. The strikers so far have refrained from acts of violence, and bare been Given per mission to work in order to save perishable freight. The i nicer- of the road, however, have taken measures to protect the meu that have been hired, and have 200 police reserves scattered about the Central Depot and yards ready for an emergency. A report comes from Albany that the militia has been ordered to bo held in readi ness for active duty. The strike is already being seriously felt in this city. The wholesale price of milK has advanced from SI 37 to $2 per can, and many people have been forced to fall back on lie condensed article. Many tram-leads of meat in refrigerator cars are reported standing on the tracks be tween this city and Albany. Most of tin butchers have supplies enough to last to day. TRANSPORTATION OF CALIFORNIA FRUIT. The tie-up on the Central Kuad has de layed the through mail to .Sau Francisco. This is on« of the laige^t ami most impor tant mails that arrive- here. It is feared the tie-up will interfere with the prompt dis tribution nt California fruits to New En gland points, but the New York and New Haven road, which connects here with all the Western roads, directly, . or by ferry, luckily has a side lino from Harlem which does not depend oo connection with the Central and freights are moving by that line to New England, though with some interruption, while the passenger traflU' to New England is still largely suffering from interference. The employee of the Mew York and New Haven road bay that they are not in sympa thy with the tie-up, so probably California fruits via this line will go forward fairly well. The weather is cooler, which Is a liivorable condition under the circum stances. IDLE FREIGHT- TRAINS.'';. Not a single freight train left . the yards to-day, ana none arrived. Webb will make a strenuous effort to run freight trains Monday, both on the West Shore and New York Central. "We will hold a meeting to-morrow, ".Webb said, "and decide what we will do in regard to freight trains. I think we will have enough men by Monday to gut everything in good running order. ■■• I am well satisfied with the way in which the passeueer trains were sent out to-day, and I don't think we will have any more difficulty, with the freight trains." ■WILL FIGUT HARD.' J. J. Holland spent most of the day Id the Grand Union Hotel in conference with a representative of the strikers. He told the reporters that he could not say anything about the probabilities for Monday beyond ■ the fact that the wen would light hard. He could not tell, he said, whether the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers would call cut their members or not. There were many statements made to-day regarding the num ber of men on strike. The men themselves said there ; were three ;or four thousand, while the railroad officials maintained that there were but three or four hundred men out.

At 10 o'clock everything in the West Shore yard at Weehawken was quiet and the work of znakiog up trains was going on, all in coming trains arriving at tbe depot on time. Station officials said that no other men were out on tbe road, but this the strikers deuy. REGULAR TRAINS MOVING. At 11 :30 o'clock to-night it was stated that ail trains on the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad had been gotten through all right. On the New York Cen tral Road tlie 7:30 Montreal express, 9 o'clock fast mail and 9:15 o'clock Chicago express were all an hour and a half late in getting out. General Manager Toucey said that all the regular trains would run on schedule time to-morrow. It is reported that 200 applicants to take the places of strikers have been notified to be on hand to-morrow. THE WEST SHORE. Employee to Be Ordered to Quit Work Next Week. Albany, Aug. The situation here to night is increasing in interest. The am* ployes of the West Shore were to nave been ordered out this afternoon, but it was thought best by the leaders of the strike to let them remain at work until next week, when if the New York Central does not come to terms, , they say the em ployes will not only go out' on the \Vest Shore, but on the whole Vanderbilt system. The train dispatchers, all but one, in the West Albany yards went out to-day. One of the officers of District Assembly So. 246 said that the engineers and firemen all along the line would be out in twenty-four hours. -".- ■-- -■■ ' ' ■ THE RESUMPTION OF TRAVEL. New York Central Train Service to Be K> slimed This Horning. Chicago, Aug. 9.— At 5 o'clock this even ing the following was received by the As sociated Press from O. W. Boggles, General Passenger Agent of the Michigan Central: "Am advised by the New York Central that their passenger train service will be completely resumed to-morrow morning. No further delay or trouble is anticipated." BROTHERHOOD ENGINEERS. No Likelihood of the Ken Joining the Strikers. Cleveland, Aug. 9.— Efforts were made to-night by an Associated Press representa tive to find Chief Arthur of tho Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers, but that gentleman . had gone on a visit to his daughter. Delos Everett, an offi cer of the Grand Division, was se«n and said the officers of the order here knew nothing whatever of the situation in New York. They had no idea that there was going to be a strike of any sort. "Our men are not involved aDd as far as I know are not likely to be," said Air. Everett. " The engineers have mude no complaint, and there is not the least likelihood of them joining the strikers." .' --■ ; - POWDERLY'S VIEWS. Claim of Discrimination Against Employes of ■ the New York Central. Scran-ton (Pa.), Aug. 9.— General Mas ter Workman Powderly, when asked his views concerning the railway strike, said that some time since it was reported to him that employes on that line were being discriminated aga inst, the discharged men all being known as leaders of organized' labor. " This striko is taken as a final pro test against such discrimination, which had become unbearable." Powderly said the employes of the road have a perfect organ ization from New York to Buffalo. All of these organizations are not members of the - Knights of Labor, but their action is aeon- ■ ceited one, and trier* will bo perfect unity.' In conclusion, Mr. Powderly said: ,' ; I notice a statement made that Chauncey De pew is mil held responsible for tills trouble. But Lite dlscbaice of the men did not lake place without ills knowledge or consent. On tlio con. traiy, before lie went to Europe his men were being victimized, so lie is as responsible as ho was before ho galled for the Old World. Lie is not a pauper, and, as a consequence, can use the electi ie cable, lie knows all that is trans piring In tills country pertaining to his own In terests. . __ A STRIKER'S STATEMENT. New York Central Accriird of Trying to Break Up th* Knights of Labor. Albany, Aim. 9.— ln conversation to night a striker said: "The company for the past three weeks has been laying off some of its oldest employes and the most loyal members of the Knights of Labor. When asking a reason for their dismissal, they were told that they could not do their work properly. One of the men had been a machinist in the car shops for twenty years, another had been a foreman for fourteen yeais i and au engineer for six. The men said it was an effort on the part of the com pany to break up their organization. This view was (strengthened when it was learned that an emissary was in Utica Saturday last when the con vention of District Assembly 348 was Held. and copii d from the register of the hotel where they were stopping the names of every delegate who was a Central employe. I 411 these men, one by one, during the past week, were dropped by the company. It was then decided that it was time for them to assert their rights." Large shipments of cattle from the West, which were billed over the Central road and which have been lying in Buffalo since last night, have been ordered reshipped over other roads. ___■ Extending to N :w J'rsev. JXBBKY City, Aug. !>.— The Knights of Labor employed on the New Jersey Cen tral held a secret meeting to-night.

TitoY (N. f.), Aug. y. — All the gatemen, switchmen ami truckmen, except one, to the number of forty employed by the Troy Union Railroad struck this evening in re sponse to orders from headquarters. Buffalo, Auk. 9—9:1.1 a. m.— The New York Central men litre have just tone on a .-tnicr. A train with thirteen passenger cars is stranded in the Terrace, blocking .Main-street crossing. The walkout lias caused much inconvenience and delay in the movement of trains, but the strike, however, is n<t general here so far. BoCHXSTEB, Aug. 9— The men who went out here last jiight all went hack to work this morning, rxcept two, who were refused. Nine baggage-handlers struck this niorniug and they were informed they would not bo taken back. CALIFORNIA WINES. A Bapid'y IncreasiDtr Demand in the Markets 0 the Ean. Chicago, Aug. 9.— "California wines." said 11. L. llolden, very decidedly, "are growing in public favor, and as far as the city of Chicago is concerned the trado in California wine is merely iv its infancy. There are now not less than one hundred and fifty car-loads of California wines void iv Chicago every year. This total includes the sale of brandies. It is not moro than five years since 1 started business dealiug in these winos iv Chicago. During the year 1885, the year that the venture was inaugu rated, 1 don't think thero were over ten car loads of the product of California vineyards sold in this city. The growth of the trade and the popularity of these wines are shown by the fact that Chicago now receives every year 150 car- loads. Of these, tweuty livi: car-loads are disposed of to family trade. Those 25 car-loads represent 1000 bnrrels. Twenty-five car-loads are proba bly reshipped to poluts in Wisconsin, Michi gan and Illinois." The remaining hundred car-loads are consumed in hotels, restaur ants and saloons in this city. Not one bot tle out of the fifty of California wine bears the proper label. The great majority is labeled with a foreign name and sold for imported wines, nnd very few person 3 are able to tell the difference. The best types of California champagne are fully equal to the medium grades of the best imported champagnes, and sell for half the price. There is a very marked difference between French brandy and that made in Califor nia, and all In favor of the latter. The brandy made iv California is produced by djslilling pure California wine, whereas I French brandy is largely produced from spirits of grain, potatoes ana beets."

Tactics Adopted by the Demo crats of the House. Io Explanation of Their Object in At tempting to Delay Legislation. Hoar's Resolution to Amend the Rules of the Senate— A Tiff Between Enloe and the Doorkeeper. Special Dispatches to Tun Moesino Call. Washington, Aug. 9.— The Democrats started out this morning with the idea that there was not a quorum in the House, A call of the House was ordered and the pres ence of 174 members was disclosed. A mo tion was then made to dispense with the call, a quorum being present. The Democrats were not content, however, to let business go on, and the ayes and noes were de manded on dispensing with the call of the bouse. Nobody seems to comprehend the reason lor the policy which Is being fol lowed by the Democrats in the House. They have settled down of late to a determined system of obstruction. There are a great many measures on the calendar awaiting action which are in no sense partisan in their character, and the House might dis pose of those to which there is no particular objection while the Senate is engaged in tbe tariff discussion. There does not seem to be anytl ing for the minority to gain by the course they are following, and none of them seem to be üble to explain tbeir object except upon the ground* of ill-nature. CROP ItKPORT. A Small Yield of Cereals and Potatoes Ex- pectfd Owioe to lbe Drought. Washington, Aug. 9. — There is a reduc tion ill tbe condition of all cereals reported to the statistician of the Department of Ag riculture. The decline from the Ist of July to the Ist of August is from 90.31 to 70.33 in corn, from 94.4 to 83.2 in spring wheat, from 81.G to 70.1 in oats, and from 8G.3 to Bl\3 in barley. The condition of potatoes is re duced from 91.7 to 77.4. A fall of twenty points indicates the disaster which has be fallen the corn crop wifTiin thirty days. The cause, is the abnormal high tempera ture of the central maize districts, with an insufficiency ol rainfall. The returns of drought, which cover a broad area, and the severity of the effects, have produced more general depression tnan the Signal Service record of temperature appears to indicate. One factor in the blighting of vegetation evidently is the hot winds that scliorched the lower basin of the Missouri and Ohio valleys. The southern division of counties in In diana and Illinois has received greater dam age than the northern. lowa and Nebraska are nearly in the status of the Ohio Valley, while Minnesota makes the highest average 'if all tliu Siate». Th«rehas been considera ble reduction in the condition of spring wheat, amounting to fully seven points. It is less in the Dakotas than lv other spring wheat districts. The average condition ts 80 in Wisconsin, 80 in Minnesota, 87 in lowa, 71 Nebraska, and 88 in the Dakotas. The latter is a decline of seven puiuts. Owing to hot southern winds the oat crop is certain to be one of very low yield and probably poor quality. Another rrop of great importance (pota toes), has also been mufti damaged by tho drought. A low rate of yield is assured. NKIV WAX-SHIPS. Spirited Bidding Anticipated for tbe Four Tes-eis Recently Authorized. Washington, Aug. 9.— lt is expected by naval officials that the bidding on tbe four new big ships— three great battle-ships and the triple-screw cruiser— which is to take place October Ist. will be quite spirited, as those old rivals, the Cramps of Philadel phia and the Union iron Works of San Francisco, declare their determination to oppose each other again. Some naval au thorities are of the opinion that the bidders will be more eager for the swift cruiser than the battle-shius, on account of the op portunity offered to make large premiums; but as the requirements as to speed are to be very 'high— twenty-two knots— the risk is a great one. There are some who believe that the battle-ships will be souaht after with greater aviuity, on account of the very novelty of the triple-screw plan, which has yet to be demonstrated successfully. The appropriation for the battle-ships is $12, --000,000, or S4,OtH>,ooo for each vessel, and that for the cruiser, which some one in the department has, for lack of a better name, dubbed the "Pirate," is 82,750,000, exclu siva ol arniunie.nt. There is a rumor that the Bath Iron Works, which is now build ing two 1000-ton etui-boats, intends to bid on a battle-ship, ttie facilities and tool plants having been lately enlarged with this view. A THREATEMiU OUTBREAK. Sericus Inutile F and at the Approaching Chicksi&w Election. Washington-, Aug. 9.— The Secretary of the Interior has received a telegram from Sir. Bennett, the Indian Agent at Muscc gee, Ind. T., saying the < irk.i-.aw situa tion is serious, ami there is great danger of an outbreak on the 13th iust., the day of the election, on account of thedisfranchisement of squaw men. In a communication to the President, the Secretary expresses the opin ion that there is no great probability of an outbreak such as to require the interference of troops, yet, as a precautimi, he recom mends that the Secretary of War be direct ed to have the troops at Fort Gibson in readiness to respond to any order necessary to suppress a riot. In reply to Bennett s telegram, it will be stated that the troops will oe held in readiness, but will not be used unless riots of a dangerous character actually break out. "The Government," the Secretary says, "does not intend to dis play a force of troops until the last emer gency." The Weather Bureau. Washington-, Aug. 8. — Showers pre vailed on the Atlantic Coast south of Now England and local rains are reported from the lake regions, Indiana, Illinois and Mis souri.

Hoar's Resolution Limiting Debate—Consid eration of the Tariff. Washington, Aug. 9.— lv the Senate to day Hoar offered the following resolution, which was referred to the Committee on Rules: Resolved, That the Senate rules be amended by adding the following: When any bill or reso lution shall have been under consideration for a reasonable time it shall be In order for any Senator to demand that the debate thereon be closed, It such demand be seconded by a majority ol the Senators present tho question shall forthwith be taken thereon without further debate and the pending measure shall take precedence over all other business whatever. If the Senate shall de cide to close debate the question shall be rut upon the pending amendments, upon which notice shall then be Riven, and in on the meas ure In Its successive stages, according to the rules of the Senate, but without further de bate, except that every Senator who may desire shall be permitted to si eak upon the measure not more than once and not exceeding thhty minutes. Af er such demand shall have been made by any Senator no other motion shall be Id order until the same shall have been voted upon by the Senate, unless the same shall fall to be seconded. After the Senate shall have decided to close debate no motion shell be In order but a motion to auj'iiirn or take a lecess, when such motions shall be seconded by a majority of the Senate. When either of such motions shall have been lost or failed of a second It shall not be In Older to renew the same until one Senator .shall bave spokeu upon the pending measure, or if no vote upon tbe same shall have intervened. The Tariff Bill was taken up, the question being on Butler's amendment reducing the duty on cotton ties to 5 per cent ad valorem. After a long discussion it was rejected by a strict party vote. Plumb moved to reduce the two-tenths of 1 per cent additional duty on hoops when cut into lengths for baling purposes to one tenth of 1 per cent. As no quorum voted, the Senate adjourned. THE HOUSE. Enloe Has a 'I iff With, the Co r— The Indian Appropriation Bill. Washington, Aug. 9.— The House to day on motion of McKlnley passed the •Senate joint resolution accepting from the G. A. K. a statue of General Grant. The Speaker then stated that the vote was upi.n the resolution of the Committee on Rules providing that after two hours' debate it shall be in order to move non concurrence in the Senate amendments- to the Indian Appropriation Bill. The resolution whs adopted. Enloe, rising to a question of privilege, said that pending the call of the 1 louse be had started out of the bouse without his hat to attend to some business in the Cap itol. In passing out of the door the door keeper told him he could not pass out. He replied that he would pass out. The door keeper thereupon attempted to arrest him. lie offered a resolution to bring the door keeper to the bar of the House for contempt of the House and for breach of the privi leges of a member. i The Speaker in ruling upon the question said the rights and privileges of all the members of the House in the discharge of their functions • were sacred. The Chair thought this was a question which ought to oe passed upon by the House. The rules of the House made piovisiou for the obtain ing and retention of a quorum. In order to accomplish that, the rules of the House required that whenever a call was ordered the doors should be closed. Such closing of the doors, in the opinion of the Chair, prevented any member from leaving trie chamber. The Speaker bad issued no order in regard to the matter, but, in re sponse to a question of the doorkeeper as to the meaning of the rule, had stated that to be his opinion, and the doorkeeper bad acted upon it. always subject, of course, to the decision of the House. As this resolu tion raised a question which must be dis posed of by the House, the Chair ruled it to be admissible. . . - The resolution was referred to the Ju diciary Committee. The House then proceeded, under special order, to the consideration of tbe Senate amendments to the Indian Appropriation Bill. Dockery commented upon the extra ordinary rule which took tho Senate amend ments out the Committee of the Whole and provided that the House should vote in bulk upon 101 amendments. Perkins approved the resolution, and de fended the Speaker from the attacks made upon him. The vote then recurred on the motion to non-coneur in the Senate amendments. This was agreed to, and the House ad journed. AN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE. Republican Members of tbe Finance Corn- mittee Consider Elaine's Scheme. Washington, Aug. 9.— A very important conference which took place between the Republican member* of the Senate Com mittee on 1' inanco the other day has es caped attention. It was held for the pur pose of reaching some agreement as to the policy to be pursued with regard to Mr. IJ], line's proposition to amend the sugar section of the Tariff r.iH so as to enable the President to negotiate reciprocity treaties, lion. JiJin W. Foster, who has been Minis ter to Mexico, Russia and Spain, and nego tiated reciprocity treaties with the latter country in 1884, was present by invitation and gave his views »t great length. Mr. Foster expressed the most profound confi dence Hut it would be an eusy matter to secure a renewal of tunt tie.it> and the fret; entry of our food products into the Spanish colonies, which consume from Sl."', 1100,000 to £18,000.000 worth of bread stuffs, provisions and similar articles, even under the present high rates of taxation. Mr. Foster was of the opinion that this trade could De. very nearly doubled by securing tin- removal of the high duty that existed at present; fur Hour, as an exam ple, is taxed at the rate of §3 80 a barrel, and other merchandise in the same propor tion. There was a general agreement among the members of the committee as to the propriety and necessity of including such a preposition as Mr. lilaiue had sug gested in the Tariff Bill, although venerable Senator Morrill of Vermont, the Chairman of the committee, was very obstinate in his opposition. lie refused not only to favor such an amendment, but declared bis Intention to vote against it if it was brought into the Senate. It was decided that Mr. Aldncli should, with tliii assistance of Mr. Foster, frame a substitute for the Hale and l'icrce amendments, and submit it to his fellow members of the committee before the sugar schedule of the Tariff Kill is reached. It is probable, however, that the committee will think best to submit the mutter lirst to a caucus. RETALIATION. Seme of the Privileges Extended to Canada to Ba Hosuicte.l. New York, Aug. 10.— A Tribune spe cial from Washington says: The hostility of Canada to the United States, as dis played in its refusal to settle the New foundland fisheries and Behring Sea troubles on any basis of equity and justice, is not likely to continue much lunger with out bearing fruits of retaliation. It is un derstood that the Government is deter mined to extend no longer to Canada many privileges now enjoyed, among them being the extremely liberal bonding facilities en joyed at present by the Canadian Pacific Railroad, without getting something in re turn.

Defeated in a Close Game by the Colonels, The Frisco Team Loses a Fonrteen-Inning Contest at Stockton. Perrott Took Hapeman's Place Id tbe Box and Pitched Great Bail— League and Brotherhood. To those who desire to see base-ball pros per in this State, the attendance at tbe local grounds yesterday alteruoun must have beeu a pleasing sight. The audience was the largest for Saturday that the Cali fornia League has drawn this year, and it was a paying crowd too, as there was a pre ponderance of the male crank in the stands. The Sacramento team always attracts the base-ball people of this city, but there was an additional drawing curd among the Colonels in the person oJ handsome Charley Dooley, who brought back memories of last year's famous Frisco-Oakland battles, when he took his old position at tbe first corner. Charley's popularity was attested every time be stepped to bat, and his face red deued with pleasure at the repeated mani festations of welcome. The game was a good one, but tbe atmos phere was too chilly to admit of the fullest enjoyment of the contest. Cobb was in the box for the Oaklands and pitched one uf his great games. Base hits were as scarce among the Senators as strawberries in De cember, and nut until the last inning did they do any bunching. Cobb'g support was excellent in some portions of the field aud indifferent in others. McDonald played brilliant ball on aud around second base, and it whs a dead sure "out" when the batter hit in Jim's territory. But the second-base man went into right field once for a fly that belonged to Dungan. Result— a collision, a muff and mi error for McDonald. (/Neil's shortstop work wa3 .. streaked with sharp pretty work and big sized blunders. He erred on easy chances, but was O. K. when the play was difficult. Dooley failed to hit safely and dropped a thrown ball. He was a first-class baseman last season, but there was a big improve ment noticeable yesterday in his style of guarding the initial. He strongly resembles Coniisky in getting off the bag when the ball is pitched.. LolniTau's active backstop play was so earnest that he was applauded for his efforts to secure foul Hies, although unsuccessful in some of his attempts. Had the result of the contest dereudfd on fielding alone, the Senators would have had an easy time winning. There were but few breaks in handling the bail, Keitz, Bowman and Daley playing a perfect game although j hard chances were distributed among them. Hoffman pitched very effective ball after the third inning, preventing frequently safe hitting and forcing the Colonels to be con tent with four runs. Affairs took an exciting turn in the last inning when victory was within the grasp of the Senators. - The score was four to two in favor of Oakland when the iSacramentos took their turn at bat. Hoffman flew to Stickney and Goodenough was given first base mi ball!:. Daley hit to Cobb, who forced Goodenough at second. Gouar and Bowman hit for singles scoring Daley. With two men on bases and one run to tie, Stapleton bad a chance to win for his side but he failed. He batted an easy grounder to X. O'Neill and the game ended. . AT SAN FRANCISCO, AUGUST 9. 1890.

Aug. 9.— Fourteen innings of great base-ball were played to-day between the San Francisco and Stockton clubs. It was a .game replete with heavy hitting and pretty tieldiug, and although .: three pitchers were called into service, outside of one -inning,. they did brilliant box work. Young was touched up for '■', three singles HUd a triple in the fourth inning, and these hits gave the home team . their . first three runs. In the fourth, on three sin gles and as many errors ami a sacrifice five more runs were scored by Stockton. The Sun Franciscos got one run in the second inning on a base on balls, an out, a steal and a single. In the filth inning, with one single, Everett getting a hit by a pitched ball nnd a passed ball by Duane, another run was scored. Mr. Haperaan's pet curves were jumped on by Finn's men in theseveath inning and hammered all over the lot. Five single* were counted i It and with one error, a wild pitch, a passed ball and a base on balls, six runs were tallied and the score tied. llape man was succeeded by Perrott in the eighth inning, and for seven innings he pitched a masterly; game. The Friscus hit him for but three singles and two other men alone reached first. . The teams continued to put up gilt-edged ball, and when Stockton went to bat the fourteenth time, l'errutt rappediout a single and Duane followed suit. Ou Cahill's hit to Everett, Perrott was put out at third. Armstrong lined out a triple, scoring Cahill and Dunne. On belna's ' infield hit Arm strong was caught at the plate. - llalliday flew out to Shea. The Friscos went out in one, two, three, order, an I the greatest same ever played ou these gruuuus was won by the Stocktons. The score: : AT STOCKTON.

Aug. 9.— Th« Mail and Ex press (Republican), which pays par': atteution to Wall-street doings, hns aa mi trrial on the effects of the Silver Bill. pays: The United States has for years t> playing into the hands of Great Brit. which, being the largest silver-buyer in U wnrld, has had a very strong interest ia making gold as dear as possible and hold ing ou to it. As long as we were buying 2,000,000 ounces of silver per month the Treasury was, perforce, a seller of gold and in this attf nipt had the cordial co-operation of Great Britain. Now that we begin to buy more than twice as much the position is changed and Great Britain h a compet itor at a great disadvantage. For years the American farmer has been selling his wheat for gold iv competition with Indian wheat, which was bought with silver. The Brit ish importer bouuht silver with his gold and exchanged it for Indian wheat. The price rose to a point at which it became cheaper to pay for American wheat wich gold. Now that silver has risen and lias re gained in seven months whut it lost in seven years the price of. Indian wheat is advancing just that much and is handi capped by that percentage in comp.'tiliou wilh American wheat. A very considerabla percentage uf the increase in the price of wheat to-day is due not to fears of a short crop but to the fact that the Englishman finds Indian wheat virtually advanced more than half way to a parity with American. grain.
