Mr. Paynter gave notice laat Thursday tha\ he would call up the Wintama-Settle con- tested election case, from the Fifth North Carolina district, to-day, and that It 1* the only Important Item of business whose consideration la flxed. Mr. Paynter »nd Mr. Brown, the latter chairman of the committee, and both democrats, ar«$ booked for speeches in favor of Settle. Committees which have not already had an opportunity to present bills for consideration will doubtless be given a day in turn for that purpose, but the assignments will be made from day to day. Conference reports on the appropriation bills yet remaining undteposed of and on the tariff bill will, of course, have the right of way at all times. The appropriation bills are the sundry civil, Indian, river and harbor and general deficiency. The river and harbor bill was supposed to have been disposed of Friday, but the discovery of errors of omission from the statement will probably necessitate a new reference to the conferees, as was done In the senate Saturday. The report on the tariff bill, even should one be agreed upon, as expected, within a day or two, will not reach the house until the close of the week, as it must first go to the senate for consideration.

ORTtt'S: • Chicago, Aug. 6.—At a meeting of the general strike committee selected by the special convention of the American Railway Union last week, and which was held at Uhllch's hair yesterday. It was decided to declare the great strike off In Chicago. This does not include the Chicago and Eastern Illinois nor the Santa Fe, where the men have voted to continue the strike to settle local grievances, and where they think they have a fair show of winning.There were twenty-four local unions represented at the meeting In the afternoon and each representative had been empowered to vote to declare the strike off. The meeting was a secret one, and at adjournment the only statement given out was the following: "By a vote of thelocal unions of the American Railway Union in Chicago tlrey have decided that the strike shall be declared oft In the city of Chicago, with the exception of the local unlona on the Chicago and Eastern Illinois and the Santa Fe. where the strike still remains in full force and effect. This is effective at 7 o'clock Monday morning, August (. The decision does r.ot apply to the systems outside of Chicago and the Pullman employes will be expected to settle their own differences." Resolutions explaining the reasons for calling off the strike were adopted. The example set by the Chicago unions will be followed Immediately by the unions throughout the western country, and by'Wednesday night at the latest the strike will be declared off all over the country except on the two roads named. President Debs left the city yesterday for Terre Haute, and will go from there to New York, where he will deliver a lecture at Cooper Institute. Debs has been offered a large salary to travel and lecture under the auspices of a Boston lecture bureau, which he may accept while east. CLOTHING AMD FURNISHING HOUSE, FIRE 0\ A BALI. FIELD.

Curiosity to see the Are lad more than a thousand spectators to rush into danger, and In their frantic efforts to extricate themselves from their perilous positions they became panicstricken.They found themselves hemmed In by fire on one side and high barbedwire fences on the other, erected to keep the people from encroaching on the diamond. The exits were few and small, and although other means of escape were provided, the Imperilled and fearcrazed crowd backed against the barbed fencing. Their mad rush to get away from the advancing flames resulted In the Injury of scores. Cuts, bruises, contusions, a broken arm and broken leg were the injuries sustained. Many of the victims, although badly hurt, left the grounds before the police or others could get their names.

Chicago, Aug:. 6.—Last year a swimming competition was arranged between the New York Athletic club and the Chicago Athletic association, but the scheme did not go through, owing to some difference of opinion on the expense question.

Only one SayeTbat the Deprivation of lit Hnng Chang of the Yellow Coat Indlcat— a Change in i lie Ad n> In tot rat ion ef the Chinese Empire—Affairs To B* Managed bjr Younger Men. Watertown. N. y., Aug. 6.—E*-S«c-retary of State John W. Foster, who is sojourning at Henderson Harbor, near here, with his family, and who has recently returned from China, Korea nnd Japan, was Interviewed bjr a representative of the United Press on the Chlna-J.apan war, and the deprivation of LI Hung Chung of the yellow coat. General Foster said: "When I was In China last LI Huns Chang was the recognized rutins spirit of the Chinese government In all foreign matters. It must have been a very grave neglect that would bring about such a severe measure as that reported in the papers. It probably Indicates it change of personnel In the administration of the Chinese Kmplre. I know nothing, of course, about the immediate causes which have led to stich"nn act as the deposition of the viceroy, Li I lung Chang, who has for the past generation been a leading force in the Chinese administration. "LI Hung Chung is already past 70 years of age, and two or three years ago was In poor health, and even at the time of my last visit, although he appeared in good physical condition he was very careful of his diet and gave himself special care. It may be that the Chinese emperor, entering aa he Is upon a great foreign war, haa been recommended by his counsellor* to put the management of affairs Into the hands of younger men, better adapted to bear the strain of the great burden which Is certain to rest upon them while tile struggle continues." Being asked if tin- loss of the yellow coat Is Irreparable, General Foster said: "I think it signifies more than temporary displeasure. It is rather an Indication of the lcisa of the confidence of the govern men t in him as the administrative head of affairs." Concerning the particular issue on which the war has been declared,' the veteran cWplomat said he knew no more about that than what he had seen in the newspapers. "China and Japan," he said, "have for generations occupied very much the same attitude towards each other a8 the French and Germans do in their relations. It'is also a well-known fact that for a number of years there has been a hostile feeling between them growing out of their relations to Korea, but the enmity is more cleep-eeated and long standing, and the Korean imbroglio Is probably taken advantage of to settle by war M»eir old differences and animosities."

That It precludes a bitter political conflict nobody can doubt. Before It was m*ide the report was abroad that several heads of federal, states, notably Bavaria, Saxony and Baden, had beenjirgfng the to assent to the renewal of the old exceptional laws in a*modified form. Well-grounded fears that the report was true were voiced at one* In liberal quarters. The vigor of Ibe protests give a foretaste of the bitterness which the government's proposals will bring into politics. Prof. Delbrueck, In his rr.eusslsche Jahrbuecher, predicts what will happen after the new antl-socla.'ist bill shall have been passed. The booe of tne masses that they ean attafti to their legitimate alms through direct parliamentary action, he says, will become vaguer, the tendency to avenge their wrongs by other means will Increase. The revolutionary danger will grow Instead of lessening. The onuses of social discontent. Instead of being cured, ,wlll take on more aggravated forms. The Frelsslniee Zeitung,, Fug en Rlchter's radical dally, cKprnues similar opinions. After analysing the esse of Santo Caserio, the murdterer of President Carnot, It says: "Against Buch crimes exceptional laws are of no avail. The uselessness of the new French law has been demonstrated throughout Caserfo's trial." On the other hand the llambuigtr Nachrlchten fights for lis patten, Prince Bismarck, and inveighs against everybody who points to the failure of his repressive laws. "Prof. IM bi'uwk's article," It says, "is an appeal to cowardice. No statesman can allow the threats of the enenties of the order to influence his policy. The clanger to which the heads of government may be exposed In taking a cert-iin co\irsc> of action will not influence them if the measures decided upon be deemed necessary to the safety of the state." There is still much dou'ot as to the exact nature of the hills to which the Nordeutsche Allgemeine Ueirung alluded in its fateful announcement. In a recent issue of the Frei'sslnnige Zeitung Richter expressed the belief that the government would continue to act upon the conviction that, while It was necessary to attempt by law the suppression of the social democracy, it would not serve the purpose to enact exceptional laws. Richter does not doubt, however, that strong reactionary changes in the criminal laws are contemplated. His information is to this effect: Count Botho zu Eulenburg, the Prussian premier, has placed himself in strong antagonism to the chancellor and with Dr. MlqueJ, Is calllnfe tor a dashing campaign against the democrats In Prussia. He proposes to grant the police power to prevent or dissolve summarily all political meetings called by anti-government parties. He wishes to strike all who oppose the government, and thus throw down the gauntlet to the parties who constitute a majority of the Reiehstag. Richter points clearly to a government plan of divergent politics in Prussia and the empire, with the reaction In full control of Prussia. This idea, however, does not correspond with the Nordeutsehe Allgemeine Zeitung's statement nor with general opinion. He is right without doubt in saying that repressive measures would consolidate the social democratic ranks. The National Zeltung published on Friday a curious leader on American affairs. The writer's conclusion was that the Anglo-Saxon and German races were losing their determining influence on the union's affairs. The Influx of Catholic Irish and Italians, as well as other Latin elements, he thought, would at no very distant date, lead to the crisis—feared now by some American politicians—in which the union would be divided into three publics, one on the Pacific, another'on the Atlantic and the third on the Ciulf of Mexico. ly successful season. victors since the season opened.
