WASHINGTON, March "a, 1913.

The proceedings of the House to-day were
remarkably dull. The calendar of private bills
was taken up, and not even debate permitted, as
ii is on particular cases, precluded by the rules
Mr. Bowlin was called to preside over the COM
mittee. This gentleman, perhaps, generally OBJ
jects, more than other member, to private bills !;
and two points are presented either that the
Speaker esteems him good presiding officer,
that, being in the chair, he has no opportunity
TO make objections
The Hon. Mr.. Black still lies in critical con-
dition, with pneumonia but as within the last
two days, his symptoms have changed favora-
bly,, his friends are encouraged to hope that he
will, with proper care, recover his health.
There Is foolish rumor that Col. Haskell ha 9
called 10 account Mr.. Inge, who said, on We'd
nesday, the authority Of " a distinguished
officer" that Col. Haskell, in the fight at Cerro
Gordo, lost his hat, The Speaker, il will be re-
collected, called Mr.. Inge to order when he
made the remark, and here the matter properly
rested.
AD octogenarian, crazy, of course, came into
the House this morni 1g, and, in pursuance of
the revelation which he claims from heaven,
proceed ed 10 converse with members, for the
purpose of discovering who were possessed
with devils His mission is important one,
and we trust that he will cast out the evil n1u-
ences which cause " ebuition of teelin 2" and
trials at hstIcuffs. +.

The Deficiency Bai-1he Loan BH-Mr.
Miles essrs. Coycoran f. Riggs-The Secre-
of the Treasury and Mr.. Foote, &c. &c.
z. One day last week, Gen. Cass, in public de-
bate in the Senate, referred TO the g the treaty."
whereupon Mr.. Douglass, the little giant of
Illinois, sprang TO his feet, and with both hands
appraised like tragedian in the fifth act of
bloody tragedy, exclaimed In utter amazement
and horror; "What treaty / know of no
treaty to which the Senator can refer" Now
all this was OF course sheer CANNON, and Gen.
Cass very properly answered Master Douglass,
as he would talk to young pupil who has
"not yet got the hang of the new school
house, that tn ere was no need Of any af-ctation
OF mystery-there was a treaty, and all the
world knew II.
Now, We have reason to suppose, that that
treaty was the treaty recently published in the
NeU York Herald, and that the Senate for the
last two days have, by committee, and in Execu-
tive session, been engaged upon the mysterious
question Of who furnished the copy 2
All that we can say, for the present, s, that
we believe * Senator Tappan, OF Ohio, to be
"not guilty" in this instance, as in the Texas
Tyler treaty. We think there is no evidence for
his Impeachment in this case-no proof that he
was particeps criminis TO the transaction.
The Senate, to-day, before they went into exc
cutive session, discussed while the deficiency
bill, as returned back from the House, and the
loan bill but came TO no final action upon
either.
Mr.. Niles having moved an amendment to
hold the bidders TO the times, the terms, and the
payments OF their bids, took occasion to say that
two gentlemen OF this city (Corcoran Riggs,
NO doubD made upon late loan, clear profits to
the amount Of some $500 600
Mr.. foOte, towards the close OF the session,
desired the Senator TO explain his remarks so as
10 leave no shadow OF suspicion against the Sc
cretsry OF the Treasury, assured, as he was, that
no lnilmatlon mat way was intended to be given
tentlon.
Mr.. Foote is, we think, too sensitive of him
sell and has friends, and fights shadows with
perhaps llule too much earDestness And while
we wish him distinctly to understand, that while
we would serve him cheeriully in any reasona-
bic service, and would do it with pleasure, yet
we cannot but advise him of the "well-know n
