guilty of no less than thirteen errors , seven
of which were the fruit of Drlscoll at third.
Caramello failed tokcop up the fine work ho
did last Sunday. The South Enders found

WASHINOTOX , July 10. fSpoclal Telegram
o THU BEK. ] A caucus of the democratic
nomhors of the house of representatives
vlll bo held on Saturday , August 5 , to elect
ho ofllecrs of the Fifty-third congress. A
Ively light U expected over the doorkeeper-
ship nnd that of sergoant-at-arms. The
several candidates are oren now priming
.heir . arms. Henry Hurt of Mississippi , who
iod ) the doorkeoporshlp during the Fiftieth
congress and who Is now connected with the
igrlcultural section of the World's ' fair , is
.ho latest candidate to enter the list
'or the doorkocporshlp of the next
louse. Mr. Smith of Text's , the present
superintendent of the document room , nnd
'Iceman" Turner of Now York , who now
lolds the ofllco , are pitted against the Mis-
slsslpplan.
Smith Hits Plnnty nf Friends.
Smith of Texas has strong backing , not
only among the western members , but the
representatives of the southern states , as
well , nro said to strongly endorse him. Ho
las also many friends among thu delegations
from the eastern states.
"Iceman" Turner has , it is understood , the
solid backing of Tammany , whoso Inlluenco
was of sufficient strength In the caucus hold
two years ago to nominate him for door-
keeper. Mr. Turner , it is thought , will not
lie able to sccura the unanimous support of
the Now York delegation , as several are
said to bo pledged to Smith.
The situation as regards the office
of sergcant-at-arnis remains unchanged.
The light for this office lies be
tween General S. S. Yoder , the
present incumbent , and Samuel E. Johnston ,
a correspondent of thu Cincinnati Enquirer.
General Yoder is putting up a stiff tight , but
lie is llnding 301110 difficulty In explaining his
failure to keep certain promises , which ho is
said to have made prior to his recent elec
tion. Many of the Ohio members have loft
lilm for this and other reasons and are sup
porting Mr. Johnston , who now claims to
have a majority of the delegation from that
state pledged to him. It has been under
stood all through the light that whoever got
the majority would receive the entire
vote of tlio delegation. If Mr.
Johnston's claims are well" founded , there
fore General Yoder would appear to have
been knocked out , for without the support of
his own state ho would cut but a poor uVuro
in the caucus.
Wllhclrmv from the Ituro.
Ex-Representative bnow of Illinois , who
was entered for the position of sergeant-al
arms by his friends , has withdrawn , leav
ing the light to bo fought to a llnUh by thu
two Buckeyes.
The present clerk of the house , James C.
Iverr of Pennsylvania , will have no opposi
tion und will bo re-elected. P. S. H.

WASHINGTON" , July 10. The International
Railway commission , which was ono of the
outgrowths of the late pan-American con
gress , is now engaged in winding up the
work it has boon pursuing for the past two
years , and the engineers and surveyors who
have been in the Held are now preparing
their reports and reducing their field notes
to the shape of maps and ctiarts. The com
mission was appointed for the purpose of
securing surveys of suitaolo lines
for a railway system which should
connect the northern and southern
hemispheres with each other and form
a continuous line of railroad from the United
States through the American republics of
tho.south. . . As , in the case of the Bureau
of Amoricitn Republics , each country inter
ested pays its share of the expense in pro
portion to population. Congress last year
failed to make any appropriation for the
continuance of the work on the part of the
United States , and it will require the great
est economy for the commission with the
funds on hand to bo able to close up its work
and perfect its reports , which will soou bo
open for the use of capitalists who may seek
to prolit by these government securities and
build the railroads that are contemplated.
The field work was pursued by three par
ties , onu in Central America and two in
South America. That in Central America
was under charge of M. M. Macotnb , who
surveyed a line from the southern boundary
of Mexico through Guatemala , San Salvador ,
Honduras , Nicaragua nnd Costa Rica to the
Savagro river. This party has just , returned
to the United States , arriving July 8 , and is
now at work upon the reduction of its Hold
notes and the preparation of . .maps and
charts.
Corps No. 2. under the command of
Mr. William F. Shunk , started iu at Quito ,
Ecuador , and surveyed a line through the dif
ficult Andean region ns far as Cartagena , on
the Caribbean sea ; also a line from the Sav-
ngroriver.in Costa Klca , through Panama and
the isthmus to the neighborhood of An tioquia ,
In Colombia , whereit connected with thu
other line from the isthmus to Cartagena.
Mr. Shunk's party returned to the Unitoa
States in Juno nnd was also engaged in
writing 'up Its final report and preparing
Its maps.
Tan remaining corps was under the direc
tion of Mr. William D. Kelley , who sur
veyed a line from Quito , Ecuador , to Cuzco ,
Peru. The maps of this last party are nearly
completed and Its reports , covering the sur
veys , are now in preparation. Of the whole
work it may bu said that the reports ot the
field engineers demonstrate the feasibility of
bulldlni ; those railroads to connect the
systems of North America with tnoso of
South America and that there nro no Insur
mountable engineering difficulties in the
way uf a successful prosecution of such work.
The whole number of miles surveyed aggre
gate -1,500. It is expected that all the reports
will bo made to congress some time this
wlulor.

which is charged with the investigation ol
criminal matters in pension claims , as well
as the investigation of the mot-it of claims in
which a prlina facie case has boon estab

cases , which would have been allowed hail
they uo ( been specially Investigated , the
llrst payment would have amounted to $150-

WASIIINUTON , July II ) . At 13JO last night
the comet which has bocn the object of so
much search suddenly developed an enor
mous tall , which , to thounpractlced eye , was
ukon to bo a display of the aurora borealls ,
At that hour Prof , Frlsby of the Naval ob
servatory , was studying the comet through
the nine-Inch glass. Ho noticed a long streak
of greenish whttu light shoot out from the
comet and extend luclf almost to thu zenith.
At first tbo nucleus of the comet , bclug a' '

thought that tlv > .Aurora borcall * had sent
out an ad van co lift Joe of n brilliant cngaeo-

the light came steadily from where the
comet haa last Ixjcirscon , the professor con
cluded that ho waisoelng the comet In pro

The tall of .tho comet was 30 = In

ns the moon Is wltltvami extended from 10 =
above the horizon almost to the
zenith. It was filhltily visible to the naked
eye and hrouo forth some tlmo before the
corps of observers'
Prof. Frlsby s ld : "Thoro Is no way to
explain the suddgnroak of the comet. They
nro erratic bodies at best , and the only thing
to say li that tliislmo had reached n stage
wl.oro It was ready to throw out the long
streak of luminous gas which wo call the
tall. It was not n bushy tall , but was n long
Ibbon of light nbout three times as wldo as

HONOLULU , July 8 , via SAN FRANCISCO ,
Tuly 10. The provisional government's cam
paign against the wretched lepers on Kaul
island has not helped its prestige , though ,
fortunately , no lepers have been shot. When
the troops appeared nil the lepers surrend
ered except the murderer of Marshal Sloltz
and several others , who have taken refuge
in the mountains and declare they will not
lie taken. Among those are two women and
a child , it Is thought they will cscapo over
i secret trail and go to another Islander ,
falling in this , that they will commit suliido.
Among these who surrendered only two
were well. Ono was a year-old baby and
the other a woman who said she was going
with her husband.
How strong superstition Is oven among
educated natives is shown by the uraylng
match which is going on at the L > itaina
seminary over u half white woman , the wife
of Charles lllako , 0110 of the teachers. This
wonun Incurred the onmlty of a kahuna , or
witch doctor , who proceeded to pray to her
death. When the woman learned of this she
was stricken with mortal fear and took to
her bed. It appeared she would dlo , but her
husband engaged another kahuna to coun
teract the first doctor's wiles. The match is
watched with great Interest by th'o natives ,
but the seminary authorities are disgusted
that Christianity has obtained so llttlo hold
over these Kanakas.

however , there was a great stir last April
about the rumored lauding of rilles for royal
ist use from the Japanese cruiser Naniwa ,
the police nro pursuing Inquiries into the
matter. President Dele says that their re

Snlyutlon Army Obaequli'S Over the Corpse
of 11 Soldier' * Hurling.
Whether it is a wedding or u funeral all
services arc conducted publicly in the ranks
of the Salvation army in accordance with its
own peculiar customs.
At the barracks yesterday the funeral
ceremonies over the remains of a 7-months-
old child of members of the army were iu
charge of Major French. The casket con
taining the little body was brought from the
parents' ' house early iu the morning and
placed in the barracks by the undertaker.
By 9 o'clock a largo congregation of mem
bers and some curiously inclined persons had
gathered to witness the last rites to bu per
formed.
Promptly at that hour Major and Mrs.
French , accompanied by othur ofilcers of the
followers of Booth , stepped onto the plat
form. The services were opened with sing
ing after which Mrs. French read n chapter
from Revelation. A short address was made
by the major on what death means to a Chris ,
tian and ending with words of sympathy and
consolation to the bereaved father and
mother. After moro singing all present
wuro given an opportunity to vlow the re
mains in front of the platform.
Four young lady cadets , now in training by
the ofllcers and dressed In the regulation un
iform with white sashes , thereupon tenderly
raised the casket and bore It outside , whcro
a parade was formed with the parents fol
lowing immediately behind thu remains and
about seventy members falling into lino.
Thu llags wuru unfurled and to the tutio of
mulllcd drums the procession started to
wards South Omaha , where the body was
laid to rest. At tliu Sixteenth street via
duct carriages were taken by all these .who
desired to see the last rusting placo. Before
the body was finally lowered Into the grave
short services were again conducted by the
head of the army here.

PAHIS , July 10. The French republic has
by no ni"ans outgrown the period when hot
weather Is a distinct mcnauu to public au
thority. The present season , like n baby's
second summer , has been awaited with con
sldorablo anxiety. Last week the temperature -
turo was above ninety dally and blood was
shed quite freely by official sabers. The
weapons of the mob this week have been
cooled with frequent April showers , nnd the
city has been calm j and abnormally qutot ,
oven on the greatest national fete day. Per
haps n good weather prophet could best fore
cast the recurrenoo of the mob spirit during
the next few weeks. That it will recur Is
the general belief of most people in Paris.
The principal officers ot the police till say
the greatest dancers of summer arc yet to
como.
Although there was undoubtedly rash
brutality on the part of the police last week ,
It must bo admitted that the riots were
handled with remarkable skill and forbear
ance. The revolt would have been stamped
out at llrst appearance by n few rounds of
ball cartridges , except that the radicals
were seeking to ralso the cry ot oppression
and tyranny against the goveiumentfor
next month's elections. The force used was
only sufficient to prevent tlio mob from gainIng -
Ing the mastery. That the police sufl'ercd
much more than is supposed is shown by thu
fact that 1ST men are still disabled by
wounds received in last week's riots.
When the government massed its army of
CO.OOO in Paris ttio malcontents wisely decided -
cided to disappear till this force was with
drawn. Ihoro must bo some excuse before
the violence is rcnowed. The most trilling
Incident may bo seized upon and the various
elements of dlsarder will again unite. The
general national strike which the socialist
and labor party will probably order cannot
possibly obtain the magnitude of the similar
movement in Belgium last spring. The pop
ular unrest and political discontent In Franco
is by no means so deep rooted and aggressive -
sivo ns in the Belgium monarchy.
Anything M y Stnrt the Hlot.
It Is impossible , however , to indicate to
what extremes a sudden attack ot midsum
mer night madness might lead. Thu strike ,
if undertaken , will have the greatest oll'ect
in the mines and elsewhere in the provinces ,
where the socialist movement is very tron ,
but where the leaders probably control the
votes of their followers it is not believed
they can persuade them In great numbers to
abandon work under thu existing provoca
tions.
The political phase of the situation contln-
tinuos Interesting. It is plainly apparent
that M. Carnet will pay a severe penalty for
surrendering to the radicals and sacrificing
Prefect of Police JLozo after the latter had
made himself master of thu situation. Even
the radicals who profited by the president's
weakness despise him for it. It was n
direct question with Carnet between his
duty as president and tils political ambi-
bition. If the policy of law and order had
been maintained , the cabinet would have
bocn broken by the withdrawal of the radical -
ical members. Everybody knows that thu
reorganization of the ministry in such an
emorccncy would bu practically impos
sible without calling M. Constans. M. Carnet
not Is ready to resort to anything rather
than invite his great rival to power. The
present plan undoubtedly is to got rid of
Parliament as soon as possible , probably
next Thursday , and then got through the
election period in the easiest way possible.
The now prefect of police is.satisfactory to
nobody. Ho is a man of narrow abilities ,
obstinate ana opinionated. Lozo is incom
parably his superior.
1'iiraillnj ; the Siamese Imbroglio.
Some indications that the acute phase of
the Siamese imbroglio is used by the gov
ernment to dissract attention from homo af
fairs Is that tno disavowal of the attack of
the gunboats is received with some suspi
cion. The only reason that such a hlgh-
handcoUoutrago is regarded with tolerance
by the French people is that it is considered
by the nnglophobists us an intended blow
against England. The chieC secretary of
foreign affairs this afternoon gave qulto a
different version of the gunboat allnlr to
that heretofore current , which ho explained
came from English sources. Ho denies that
the government of Siam offered to settle the
French claim for reparation. Such an offer
was made at llrst by the Paris representa
tive of the Siamese nuthorltes , but without
the authority of his government. If the recent
cent English telegrams are true Franco then
ordered her two gunboats to carry out the
movement executed on Thursday. They
obcyod the direct commands of tlio French
foreign office and if the French representa
tive ut Bangkok denied responsibility for the
French adiniral's he did
movement so with
out authority. His statement puts oven a
worse aspect upon the affair.

Depreciation of tillvur Liable to Cume the
SI I MCH ut I'rlzlintni to Close.
VIENNA , July 10. Among ether effects pro
duced by the depreciation of silver Is a
threatened disturbance of thu labor market
in this country. According to accounts from
Prague it is anticipated that the silver mines
at Przlbram will shortly bo closed , and
ovou now the question is being considered UH
to what now industry could be most expedi
tious ! aud easily introduced to provide work
for miners when thrown out of employment ,
It appears that the government intends to
continue work exclusively in thu state mines
at Slebonburgen , which yield thu largest
percentage of silver.
Agitation still continues among the work-
lug classes in Bohemia , nnd either through
thu action of the authorities in forbidding
meetings thoru which nro allowed elsewhere -
where , or owing to the moro violent ten
dencies nf the population , thoru appears to
ho a decided disinclination to submit to olll-
clal control. Thus the workers at Llubun
In Bohemia attempted to hold a secret meet
ing notwithstanding the prohibition of thu
authorities. The police , having bucomo
nwaro of the fact , succuudcd , with thu as
sistance of a detachment of military man-
inpiiod from a neighboring town , in clearing
tlio promises , > it the .1:11110 : tlmo arresting
over eighty persons who had refused to dis

HoclnlUt Harangue.
At a mooting of Christian socialists at

voted the greater part of his haranguu to n
denunciation of machinery and capital and
what hii termed thu unreasonable laws
which abolished tlio old restrictions as to
the number of traders and shopkeeper : ) and
sut up free competition In their placo. Re
ferring to the results of the elections in
Germany , ho pointed out that universal
suffrage had led to a great extension of

curtain legitimate demands , put forward
others dangerous Iwtli to the state and society -

cialists , who represented the solidarity of
all classes } Another speaker , a member of

to his views on universal suffrage , declared

CHAT WITH A COLORADO CAPITALIST
I'ooplo of the Sllrrr .MuttVnii1 llronil nnt )

Not In S.MnprUlij
Itnillcnl Arllon.
Hon. FranR Church of Denver , a well
known Colorado capitalist , was nt the Paxton -
ton last night. Mr. Church Is 0110 of the
most prominent men in the ' 'Silver state'1
und ono of its foremost citizens. Ho is a
man of liberal vlows.yut careful andconsorv-
allvu In anything which involves the Inter
ests of his stato. Ills opinions do not , there
fore , exactly tally with the radical utUr-
ntici's of some of thu loudest shotlters of the
sllvur convention , held at Denver last week.
When asked hist evening by a Bun ruporter
as to the general foellng In Colorado , and
whothur the public In general endorsed the
bloodthirsty sentiments expressed by Gov
ernor U'nlto and others , Mr. Church said :
"It Is to be regretted that thu most radical
of the utterances of Governor Walto and
others should go forth as voicing the senti
ments of the people of Colorado
oh this question , for Utoy do not. U Is cer
tainly a serious matter with us , and wo
need all the help legislation can give us for
silver interests , but the thinkers of the
state do not by any means endorse Governor
Walto's Inflammatory ix-marUs. Bo assured
wo also do not Intend nor expect to repudiate
a single debt or obligation , as some rumors
would Indicate.
' I think that the calling of the extra ses
sion of congress has had moro or loss of a
bcnellclal oft'oct Itr the money market , and
has restored confidence to some extent.
What wu want and look for from congress Is
thu repeal of the Sherman law and the
adoption of a substitute law , somuth'.ug llku
the old Bland act. Wo would bo satisfied
with an increase of the ratio to 13 or 20
per cent.
llrniul Heforo Itlood.
"It Is true that unless congress taltes quick
action iu this matter , wo will bo in bad
shape. Wo are tn that shape now to somu
extent , but not iu a condition to cull forth
anarchistic utterances , such as came from
thu convention last weuk. As to how long
wo can stand this condition of
affairs without the intervention
of congress is problematical. Thu la
boring men and the debtor class nro the
greatest sufferers. So long as present < x > u-
ditions continue the workiiigmen are bound
to suffer , and the longer they contlnuu thu
worse it Is for these who are occasionally
obliged to borrow money , for , no matter
what security they may have , it Is extremely
difficult to borrow ,
Alt IN Nut Cold Hint flutter * .
"Look at the Bush & Tabor failure the
other day. That linn had plunty of assets ,
over $2.000,000 in fact , and their liabilities
aggregated less than oiio-tentli of that
amount , yet they were forced to the wall.
They simply couldn't borrow , that's all. "
When asked what ho thought the action
of thu rocunt silver convention at DcMiver
would have with congress , Mr. Church re
plied :
Afturimith of the Convention.
' 1 hatu to say It , but In my opinion and
that of ovcry sober-minded person iu Colorado
rado , thu radical portion of the convention
proceedings is likely tu provo moro disas
trous than otherwise. The convention was
presumably a ruprusuntativu onu called for a
nohlo purposu and Governor U'aitu's remarks
will bu taken by thu country at largo as ux-
jircssing thu feelings of silver men In pen-
'
ornf , when such is not really 'lliu
caso. Wu are in favor of free silver and
are not bloodthirsty. Congressman Pence
and othur Coloradoans have conducted thorn-
solves wisely and conservatively throughout ,
and cannot bo rightfully accused of responsi
bility for the manner in which the conven
tion was made to oxprcss itself.
Will Hope , lor tliu Hunt.
"If Colorado's other resources wcroall fully
developed as much as the mining industry ,
the .situation would not bu so dcsnuratu , but
with mining , and silver mining in particular ,
our main dependoncii. wo are in just about ,
thu condition you have hoard BO much of , of
lato.
"However , Colorado is a grand common
wealth , and Its citizens .mi niun of pluck and
porsuvoranoo. Wo will try to educate the
people up to the benefits of fuvor.ihlu silver
legislation and shall hope for the bust. "
