At 2 o'clock today Mir. Piatt moved to consider the bill providing for the formation and admission into the Union of the territory of Washington. As soon as debate can be cut off the motion will be agreed to, the majority being more anxious to pass the bill than discuss it Should the point of action be reached before the end of the week the bill to establish a uniform system of bankruptcy will bo called np by Mr. Hoar. In the boose today Mr. Willis (Ky.), introduced his educational bill. The postoffice appropriation bill is unfinished business after the morning hour. As so much partisan feeling has engendered by criticisms of the policy of the postmaster general in regard to the foreign mail servioe, the bill may not be passed until late in this week.

He was present all the time and saw and heard everything." "Well, said Mr. McDowell slowly, "There were misunderstandings which Ued existed in the minds of both for some time tl)at were immediately removed. As soon as that was accomplished, the rest was all clear sailing." "HI say one thing," interposed Mr. Powderly, "and that is if Mr. Gould had bean at home when the strike commenced, and if I had seen him, all that has followed would never have taken place.

The captains of the lite saving crews doubled the guards, and aibarp lookout was kept for vessels in distress About twenty minutes before midnight a rfgnal was seen by the patrolman on the south ride of Life Saving station No. 8. at Lake Coroo, near Spring Lake. The signal was quickly followed by another. An answering rocket was sent up trom the station, and the life savers began to preparations to rescue the sailor*. At midnight the vessel struck the outer lwr opposite Bastings square, Spring Lake, and twenty minutes later the crew of No. 8, commanded by Capt Joseph Shibla, with their entire apparatus was on the beach opposite the wreck. The sea was breaking with resistless force over the vessel. The night was black, and for a time tt seemed impossible to afford any assistance to either the vessel or those on board. At this juncture the famous running crew of the Life Saving station No. 9, commanded by R. F. Longstreet, arrived and the mortar was placed In position, a lino fired and the life savers awaited results. No answering tug being made on the line the mortar was again fired, and it was not ontjl the fifth shot had been fired that the crew aboard the vessel succeeded in finding the line. The hawser was hauled off to the wreck and made fast to the rear mast, and the breeches buoy was hauled aboard the vessel.

A roaring column of flame arose straight from the mouth of the pit fifty feet into the air. Occasionally some unusually large mass of burning timber would fall to the bottom.

The most interesting portions ot the dhpntch are as follows: 1 took the'train tor Chartered, and have spent considerable "Between 13,000 and 14,000 employes wers thrown out of employment when tbe strike began.

The ways and means committee expect to get some sort of a tariff bill into the houae before next week. But in view of the inability of the majority to commit their brethren who are standing out for protection to sapport a modified bill, it is feared their expectation will not be realised. HALF NAKED BESOTTED WOMEN had fanned a ring by joining hands and were executing a devil's dance until many dropped to the ground from exhaustion and the effect of the blazing fire upon their brandy-maddened brains. One poor devil, a hunchback, fall within the circle instead of outside and was literally roasted to death. Outside the great circle other drunken women held babies up high over their heads to see the pretty fire. And this was a mine which was in full operation on Saturday and to which every one of those drunken, dancing demons looked for their daily bread. Squally thrilling incidents of the rioting in the streets and suburbs oould have been seen, but I must summarise for want of space. The damage to the property in the disturbed district is now estimated by moderate men at 36,000,000 francs. The number of men in the field exceeds 15,000 and should be doubled with twenty batteries of artillery to be placed at intersections of streets in the cities to time since in the saddle visiting every scene «f disturbance I could reach, questioning strikers. Anarchists and officials, and studying the situation generally. ITw strikers have certainly been given ample cause for discontent, distrust and despair. Owing to the prolonged depression of the iron and steel trade the union of mine owners has several tinea ordered the output, both of coal and 'iron, to be reduced. This was effected in the moat oppressive way. Instead of reducing the hours of labor certain mines were closed •altogether, and thus, every few weeks, hundreds of miners were laid off.

Recently •trade prospects have somewhat improved; larger outputs were ordered and the men, the bosses were now making money, demanded, not exactly an increase of wages, but a return to the scale from whioh they had been reduced last fall.

Every jewelry store and gun shop in Chaleroi, and nearly every liquor warehouse and drinking saloon, has been looted and more or less completely wrecked.

G. W. Havens arrived at the wreck shortly after 6 o'clock, and at once opened communication with the captain. The captain refused to come ashore, desiring to remain aboard the vessel until tugs from this city arrived. After a time, however, the captain consented to land his crew, and they were taken off by Capt Shibla's men. The vessel drifted in and now lies about 800 feet from the beach midway between the Monmouth houseand Allaire house at Spring Lake. She lies on hard bottom and is hove to and heeling hard, and has about seven feet of water in her hold. It is the opiniqn of Superintendent Havens that it will be impoind.fr 1? to her off. Messrs.

"What roads have bean affected by this strike, Mr. Powderly I" "The Iron Mountain, the Missouri Pacific, the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, the Kansas Pacific and a few branch roads," he replied. "Since the strike began the only way to get fegto St Louis was by the bridge, and It nsoessarily follows that the only way to get out «f it was by the same thoroughfare. However, the strike is over. Let us say no mors,about it"" Capt Boole firmly believes that the Morse sank the Oregon, becaose he has been to Bpstorn and discharged his cargo since that fatal night and has had time to get back to New York, while the Charles H. Morse has not yet been spoken or reported anywhere. Capt Boole's theory is strengthened by Capt Alfred Manson's identification of the yawl picked up off Sandy Hook by a fishing smack as the yawl of the Charles H. Morse. This oertalnly makes the chances still greater that the Mors* was the vessel that sunk the Oregon.

At 11 o'clock yesterday morning Grand Master Workman Powderly, accompanied by Mr. William O.

There were present Jay Gould, his son George and Vice- President Hopkins, of the Missouri Pacific Railroad company. It was a memorable meeting.

At the appointed hour Mr. Powderly and Mr. McDowell wen again in attendance.
