The Examiner /inbllHliea on Interview with Lord llamlolph Churchill , In which ho denies the story that lie was a victim of morphine nntl snys that report was maliciously circulated through splttf. "I have suffered acutely , " he explained , "from nervous prostration and Insomnia , brought on by the extreme tension of public nffalrs and constant attcnt'on ' to party In terests long after I should liavo abjured public speaking. I feel \ery much better now than when I left England. My appetite Is excellent and I deep well , BO that I have no doubt that when my tour Is completed I shall bo able to return homo and re-enter politics , entirely restored. The Har Harbor Incident was entirely fictitious and the pur ported Interview with \V. 0 Ibert , formerly of the Gloucestershire cricket eleven , pub lished In a Chicago journal , was a fabrica tion f re in beginning to end. I may say once and for nil that my Illness has resulted from overwork. Acting against the advice of my physicians , I continued to make public speeches until 1 broke down. The trip to South Africa was mode In the hope of re cuperation , but the fatigue of the journey was hardly beneficial. America has done mo a deal of gacd. I like the country and people end I have gained every day In strength nnd mental equipoise during the past two months. " Lord Churchill's vis t to India Is of a semi-official character. He has letters from her majesty , the queen , as well is from the prince of Wales , and his principal mls- Blon Is to look Into matters regarding the loyal rajahs. POINTS lin WILL VISIT. "Notably , I shall visit , " said Lord ChurchIll - Ill , "tho maharajahs of Avar Jalghur , Udal- pur and Jodhpur In Kajpootana , In whoso cap- ' Hals are many celebrated Jain temples of great antiquity. This Is not my first trip to India. I visited the empire some years ago and was piloted about by Sir Lepel Grlnin. Dut I did not see half of what I de sired , and this tlmo I shall proceed as far as British Murmah. " These loyal rajahs , whom Lord Churchill Intends visiting , are young men of the high est Importance In the Indian empire. They have all been educated at Mayo college , which Is near AJmlr. This Is an experiment of the government Intended to glvo the young rajahs of Itajpootnna an English training. It was founded by the earl of Mayo and has had n. most powerful effect upon the political aspect of India. In speaking of Lord Rose- bcry , he said : "It seems to mo that his present position might remind one of the well known jest in Punch years ago about Lord Beaconsfield : Why Is the present government likely to fall ? ' 'Oecauxe Its head Is dizzy. ' "There Is no doubt that Itoscbory made his mark when acting as Gladstone's lieutenant In the famous Midlothian campaign. Then It was that ho realized ho had some backing In the person of Mr. Gladstone and without doubt aspired to the premiership. Mr. Glad stone's support has been the key to Itose- l > ery's success. " In parting , Lord Churchill said : "I trust tint you realize that I am not the mental and physical wreck \\hlch the American newspapers have described. Had I been I \\oiild not have attended the royal academy dinner a few days before leaving England. I am on the road to complete recovery , and , as I said before , I must before many months are over ro-cnter the English political arena. " STOICM ON Till : VOI.UA.

A reception was given Emma Goldman tonight at the Thalia theater , which neaily 3,000 persons attended. The affair was generally tame , and the spe cial force of detectives had nothing to do Charles Wilfred Mowbr.iy , the English an- nrchlst , was also present and preceded Emma Goldman by a speech In which he eulogized her heroism and self-sacrifice. Speaking of the police , he remarked : "The police exUt for boodle. They are here to protect thieves of associated society. " When Emma Goldman came on the plat form there was a great burst of applause. Her speech was chiefly devoted tc a rancorous cereus attack upon nil who were concerned In her prosecution , conviction and Imprison ment. "Imagine the prosecution of a woman for talking , " she began. "Anarchy was prose cuted October G , 1893 , In the court of general sessions. It was really the right of free speech that was prosecuted. The country Is today seeking aid of the old continent to help thorn get rid of anarchy. Who do they get to help them ? Those hateful Irish and the deceitful English. " She thsn launched forth Into Invectives. She called Assistant District Attorney Mo- Intyro a coward. Speaking of the Judge before whom she was tried , she said : "Judge Martlno Is not to be compared to Santo , Ravachol or Henri , who were all defenders of a cause they be lieved In. "I am with you again and again under the old flag of anarchy and freedom , " she con cluded. The speech was received with enthusiastic plaudits by the minority portion of the au dience and the meeting soon afterwards was brought to a close.

LITTLE MORE BUSINESS CAN BE DONE Scarcely n Cliioriitn Present Saturday Home itcady to Quit Toclaj Il | ioMtlon of the rarllT lllll by the rrcsidrnt the Only WASHINGTON , Aug. 19. The final action of the president on the tariff bill Is the only thing that stands between the senate and final adjournment. It Is the general opinion tint If It were passed upon by the chief executive adjournment could bo arranged within a few days. The last of the appropria tion bills received the final consideration of the senate during the past week and even without the passage of the Murphy resolu tion there would not have been much prob ability of any general legislation , owing to the likelihood of there being no quorum. The last roll call yesterday discovered only forty-five senators , two more than n quorum , In the chamber and the highest number of the thy was fifty-four. Several have left blnce , an It Is entirely probable that the ses sion Monday will open without the number requisite to do business In the face of ob jection. It Is probable , therefore , that the dally sessions from this time forward will be brief and that only bills to which there Is no opposition from any senator or over which there Is no contest v.ill be taken up The democratic managers hope to have the bill repealing the provisions In the tariff bill exemptlnc alcohol used In the arts nnd In the manufacture of medicinal preparations Included In the list. There appears llkelihdod of opposition on the republican side , and If thTP should be , this bill will necessarily go over until the next session. The democratic members of the finance committee also hope to report the supplemental tariff bills during the week , but do not expect action on them. Probably no considerable tlmo will be spent In rxccutlvo session In confirming nomina tions to which no one objects. The house of representatives Is ready to adjourn tomorrow. Its work has been com pleted , It Is only awaiting the action of the senate and of the president. It Is prob able that It will adjourn from day to day until congress adjourns. It may be , however , that time will be partly occupied by giving several days to the committees of the house to consider such business as they care to bring before the house , but this question has not been decided. Speaker Crisp , who Is at Old Point Comfort , will not return until to morrow morning , nnd Mr. Outhwnltc , one of the other members of the committee on rules , Is out of the ci y and no program will be arranged until they return. Tomorrow , under the rules , Is suspension day , as are also the last six days of the ses sion , but as a resolution for adjournment will not be passed until the president acts on the tariff bill , the rules with reference to suspension days will not go Into effect until the date of adjournment has been fixed by both houses. ItlVKIi A > U I1AKDOU HIII A LAW. Cleveland ItofusoH to Vote or Approve thn .Measure WASHINGTON , Aug. 19. The river apd harbor bill , carrying $11,000.000 , became a law at midnight last night without President Cleveland's signature , the legal limit ot ten days havlnc expired within which he could sign or veto It. It Is the third time In his two terms that a river and harbor bill has become a law without his approval , the onlv other bill of this kind submitted to him having been vetoed. Fears were expressed up to a late hour today that the present bill would b ; vetoed , as Mr. Clevland made It known to the river and harbor managers several months ago that he did not want the total of the bill to exceed $10,0 0,000. The appropriations were pared down In the house , but the senate raised the amount. The conferees finally reduced It to $11,478,130 , and thus It was agreed to in both houses. Aside from the amount carried by the bill the sundry civil appropriations bill also car ries JS.400,000 for river and harbor con tracts , making a total for this work of $19.- 878,130. An Important feature of the new bill Is that It authorizes no new contracts. S YD hNIl or A VJU'n Captain Nicholson of Incllmiapotls Commits Scilclclo at Washington , WASHINGTON , Aug. 19. Captain E.

WASHINGTON , Aug. 19 Hepresentallvo Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois , the senior re publican member ot the present appropriations committee of the house , and who was chairman of the appropriations com mittee during the Fifty-first con gress , has prepared n statement which ho will submit to the house selling forth a comparison from his standpoint ot the appropriations for Ihe present and the Fitly- first congress. It Is captloncd , "Pension np- proprlatlbns reduced $29,099,504. Total ot other appropriations Increased. " Mr. Cannon says : "Mr. Cleveland by his estimates asked congress to appropriate for the public service of the coming fiscal year , Including permanent appropriations , $520- CG2,840 and congress has appropriated for such service $190CGS,3G9. This In round numbers Is $30,000,000 less than the president asked for public service. "A comparative statement of appropriations made at this congress for the fiscal year ending Juno 30 next with appropriations made at the first and second session of the last congress ( Fifty-second ) nnd at the first and second s'sslon of the Kitty-first shows that the appropriations this year are greater by $ J7,2G8bG8 than wcro those made by the first session of the Fifty-first , or Reed congress The statement also shows tha appropriations made this year are $28,835,989 less than those made at the second tcsslon of the last , or Fitly-second congress. This reduction Is cov- ersd by the Item for pensions nlone. There was appropriated this year for pensions $29- 099,504 less than was appropriated last year. It will be noticed , Iherefore , Uio appropria tions this year , excepting pensions , are greater than the appropriations made last year by $263,515. The tolal approprlallons for Ihe Fifty-first , or Reed congress , two years ago , were $988,417,183 , and those for the Flfty-sscond , or last congress , two years , $1,027,104,547. " ONLY SAVED PENSION MONEY. Mr. Cannon then rcid Ihe statement Issued by the Treasury department en July 2 , giving the expenditures and receipts cf thu govern ment for the past year and those of the previous year. Mr. Cannon's statement then continued : "This statement does not Include the postal receipts or expenditures there from , nnd as they balance each other , It Is not material to state them here.
