The House Deadlock,
Washington, Sept, 15. Iu tho
hou e last night Geu. Grosvenor or
Ohio controlled the time and led the
debate axalnst the federal election re
peal bill for the Republicans. " When
t'ie president called congress lu ex In
ordinary session in midsummer," said
ne, -rue .uemocnuio leaiiurs, reoognlz
ing the division In their party, appealed
to us to stand by aud protect tho ad
ministration from au overwhelming de
feat. Tho Republicans, almost to a
aiuu, recognizing that the conditions of
the country demanded that nartlaan-
ship be laid aside, resolved to support
the administration aud force into law
a measure designated to effect party
success, a measure mora partisan than
any that had been introduced in twenty
years, to be forced upon as. I desire to
sound only a single note of warulng.
The bill to repeal the 8herman silver
law is not yet law, If it happens to
pass the senate when it returns here
the administration may not be able to
muster to support the solid Republican
vote."
Mr. McMillan flushed excitedly and
replied to General Grosvenor. ''You
can do your worst" he shouted augrllj
pounding the desk. "This bill will bo
reported and pawed. If not tomorrow,
then next day or next week, but re
pealed it will be. Make no mistake
ubinit it," (loud applause from Demo
cratic side.)
A roll call doveloned tho presence of
zo muimiBiB uuu tin iiiiuu-titnng wsb
ended by the arrival lu time ofraSpo
clal ordtr for eulogies on the lute Repro'
sentatlve Cltapmuu, of Michigan, A
number ot eulogies were pronouncer1.
The battle over the Tucker bill to re
peal tho federal election lnw, was re
sumed (his mornlug. Republicans are
again filibustering. The Republicans
obeyed Reed ai leader, and refrained
from votinsr. The administration Dem
ocrats fled to the cloak room to avoid
answering to their iiuihoh. The vote
showed no quorom. A call of the
house- was ordered.
In Congress.
Washington, Sept. 15. Tho sonate
this mornlug resumed the considera
tion of the repeal bill. Lindsay, of
Kentuoky, a Democrat, addressed the
senate in support of the bill.
Washington, Sfpt. 15. The eoualo
corninltteo on Indian afl'ulrs ordered an

Chinese Cases.
San Fhancisco. Sept. 15 Judge
Morrow denied bail to the Ave Calmen
go Chinese now hero awaiting the de
cision of tho Uuited States supremo
court on their appeal from the district
court's decision denying them writs of
halieas corpus Tills make? a curious
complication. Tne Chinese are at pres
ent conllued in the Almeda county Jail
though according to Judge Rosh decis
ion they cannot be imprisoned, n? they
have committed no crime. They cau
not be deported because of their appeal
to the supreme court, and they cannot
go free because of that appeal. The
Chluese will bring suit against Marshal
Gdrd for false Imprisonment. If ho re
leases them lie will bo guilty of con
tempt of court of the northern district
of California, which has refused them
bail. If he does not release them he Is
liable for damages, on th.0 ruliug of the
district court of Southern California
that they are not criminals and cannot
bo Imprisoned.

GRAVEL PIT OONTEOVERSY.
Louis MoOlano Arrested Ownership
of Land Disputed.
Coudsiaerable excitement was rife
t ds mornlug concerning the gravel
hauling case. Yesterday Louis Mo-
rClano drovo Archie Mason's mon from
the pit on the island opposite North
Salem, by threatening to use a gun if
they hauled any more. His argument
was effectual.
This morning be appeared on tho
scene again with his gun, accompanied
by J. H. McCormiok. Thp two men
stood guard by a camp flro until Mr.
McClano was arrested by Marshal
Mlnto, on n warrant sworn out by
Cbos. E. Mason, for assault with a dan
gerous weapon.
There is a dispute as to the owner
ship of the gravel pit In question. It
Is claimed by Mr. MoOlauo 09 a part of
tho island, and is also claimed by tho
abutting property. Mr. Mason has a
contract with the owners of the latter,
Messrs. Geo. F. Smith, Lewie Stinson,
Wm. Waldo, and A. T. Wain, and sup
posed he had a right to tho gravel.
Action was brought against him last
week for larceny, but as tho title to tho
property came Into question, tho case
was dismissed. Tho frontage owners
say they will sue for possession of tho
property If It becomes nocessary.
This morning Police Keonn and A'
derman Smith Geo. F. Smith weut
down onto the property to talk with
Mr. McClano about It, but were per
emptorily loaded Into their buggy and
ordered off the ground, McClano said
It seemed ho had no other rcoourso, and
therefore prepared to protect his pro
perty with a gun If hooofcsary.
The real cause ot the troublo seems
to bavo been brought about by tho
river bed cbauglug its course, The
abutting property owners now olalm
the land ns accrued frontage, while Mr.
McClane clatms it as accrued to his is
land. Mr. McClano was brought before Re
onrdet Edes. He plead not guilty, aud
his trial will bo heard tomorrow at 1
o'clock,

ABSOLUTELY PURE
LONG RANGE BOMBARDING.
Only One Wonjan Killed by a Fall
ing Brick.
Washington, Sept. 16. Seoretaiy
Grejham received the following from
Minister Thompson at Rio Janeiro;
"At 11 o'clook Thursday morning
tho revolutionary forces bombarded the
forts commanding the entrance to the
harbor, also the arsenal wharf In the
contor of tho city, and a woman was
klllod In her residence. Commercial
tolegrams havo again been forbidden
Tho Charleston has not yot nrrlvod."
Tho dispatch practically disposes of
.he hopes of the navy department that
the orulsor Charleston had reached Rio,
and It Is now bollovod she went direct
to Montevideo without touching at any
Brazilian port.
The telogram from Minister Thomp
son was eagerly read lu both Btato and
navy departments and the belief was
ox pressed that tho engagement may bo
a fierce and determined one. It Is pro
sumod tho Brazilian government la
taking active measures to repulse tho
Insurgents. Tho greatest source ot
anxiety among officials is that there Is
no vessels of tho United States In the
harbor at Rio to proteot tho lives and
property of American oltlzens iq the
bombarded city. Tho cruiser Charles
ton will coal at Montevideo and then
proceed to Rio. Tho vessel will make
It In about three days and u half.
Buenos Ayres, Sept.15. Dispatches
huve been received from Rio Janorlo
which give some Idea of the bombard
ment which has taken place in tho bay
The rebel shlpt Auquldaban, Ropubllca
and Trajano yesterday mada an at
tempt to land soldiers and marines at
Gamboa, In the bay of Rio. The In
surgont ships are reported to have mod
oaly small rapid flro guns, moro for tho
purpose of Covering the landlug of tho
insurgent forces than as a regular bom
bardment. Tho rebels, it la added, had
taken prisoners the officers of tbo gun
boat Allouez, and as this messago was
sent tho Insurgents wero flrlug In the
direction of tbo arsons! with the expec
tation of blowing It up.
The guns of the Aquldaban thuudor
ered forth at long range, for tho robols
were not foolish enough to engage the
forts, and tho latter replied to the fire
of the war vessels without any appar.
ent damage. At night there was a
period of calm but hostilities were ex
pected to bo resumed In the mornlug,
unless some uuderstandlng could be ar
rived at between tho rebels aud (he
government.
Sounds of firing reaching tho city
caused alarm among the people. The
loss of life so far as known, Is only one,
a woman residing near the arsenal who
was killed by a falling brick.
Both sides seem to know little about
handling modern shlpi and artillery.
At the rate tb!ute are to'ng the war
ships will have to surrender for Uok of
ammunition and provisions.
Fort Lsge was also treated to a few
shells by the robels, There la no record
of the war ships having Buffered any
damago from shot or shell. Rio Itself
was not bombarded. A few stray shells
fell In the clty.the result of bad marks
manship, but no great damage was
done. No doubt many people on shore
are In sympathy with the Insurgents,
for the latter seem able to keep notcu
concerning all doings ashore.
