Ii is about as attractive as the pictures in
large galleries which arc often marked "sPor-
trait of Gentleman = for the truth of which
statement the word of the attendant has to
be taken. This cut may sometime serve for
Fillibuster Walker or Brigham Young.
1t is pleasant to alleviate distress, and the
advertisement has much to say about pain
resulting from just fity-soven specified all

auction, closes off with various other mat
tors too humorous TO mention" but the let

FROM WASHINGTON.
BY r. r. WALTON

WAsurNGroN, Apr. 81.
The Police BIZ Dcfcaicd-NorriWs BIZ.
On Tuesday the Police bill was killed in
the House, by decisive majority; and on
Wednesday Mr.. Morrill's bill granting lands
for agricultural colleges was favorably con-
sdcrcd. Mr. Morrill, supported the bill in
an able and very interesting speech, whom
Mr.. Cobb Of Alabama moved to lay the bill
on the table This was a test question, and
the vote was-ayes SO, noes It. So the bill
was sustained by 81 majority. The prospect
of its passage in both Houses is favorable.
The Committee Of Conference.
A majority of the Committees Of each
House on the Kansas bill agreed yesterday to
a very extraordinary proposition. It was to
refer back the Ordinance (Which gives Kansas
large quantity of land to the people of
Kansas. If majority vote for the Ordinance,
that vote is to be treated as a ratification Of
the Locompton Constitution, and Kansas is
TO be admitted as slave State but if the
people reject The Ordinance, it is to be consid-
cred as a rejection of the Constitution, and
Kansas is not to pc permitted to form a Com
stitution and be admitted to the Union, until
it shall have a population Of 93,OOO--that is,
enough to outitc her to a member of Com
gross under the present apportonment. The
effect of this was to offer the land as bride
for votes for Lccompton, and to admit Kansas,
as Stare State, now, and with only 10000
population but if the people wish for free
State, they cant come in until they have more
than double this population 1t is the alb
surdcst proposition made yet but English
/ Doug. DEM agreed to it. However when
it was submitted to the pro-slayery Democ-
racy, ten Of them in the House, headed by
Mr.. Quitman of Tennessee refused to accept
/ it. This was yesterday. To-day, it is ru-
morcd that the Committee have agreed to re-
port some0mg-wc knew not what. Not
withstanding the apparent surrender of Mr..
English, the leading Douglas Democrats have
proposed to trust in the integrity of others
of their number; but to-day it is rumorod
that seven or eight Of them viii surrender to
the Administration Several Of the leading
Administration Senators have been very con-
spcuous in their operations upon members Of
the House.

SATURDAY, April "a
Kansas stu Again.
Mr.. stevens of Georgia asks tho House to
fix Wednesday next as the day to consider
the report of the Committee ON Conference.
Mr.. Harris wthdraws his motion to lay the
motion for reconsideration on the table, and
morcs to lag the report of the Committee on the
table. This, if successful, will carry with it
the original bill 1t is test question there
fore: but, at an indication from Mr.. Marshall
of Ky. Of a preference for Mr.. Harris first
notion Mr.. Harris withdrew the last motion,
and renewed the motion to lay upon the table
the amendment postponing the subject to the
second Monday in May-aycs 1915, noes l0l.

ton on the report. Mr. Washburnc of Maine

- Some time in January last. Mr.. Chas
w. Willard, of East Montpelier, had $40
taken from his house under the following cir
cumstances. Upon retiring to bed at night
he left his pants--in the pocket of which was
the moucy-in the sittng-room adj joining tho
bedroom in which he slept. In the morning
Mrs. Willard, upon going into the sitting
room, discovered that a rug which she had
placed against the outside door was moved
back as by the opening of the door. She re-
marked to Mr. Willard that evidently some
one had been into the house during the night.
and upon examining his pocket the $40 was
missing. Mr.. w. Immediately laid the case
before Sheriff Bradish, of this place, who was
unable at the time to obtain any clue to the
thief About four weeks since, Mr.. John
Mehan Of Barre had horse stolen. whom
Mr.. Bradish went in pursuit of the thief
Mr.. Mchan stated to Mr. Bradish that in
January last, one Mr.. Conlcy, who was sup
posed to have taken the horse. said to him
'N"' "r was e"l"b W MI w lliHu - III East
Montpelier for the purpose of stealing his
gold watch, which ne knew was always left at
night hanging in his setting-room; and that
few days after Conley said to him ,Mchan

'ne watch but found $40 in money. Sheriff
hradish went Immediately to Montreal and
from there to Shorbrook, whore he got track

the house OF his father, and a horse for which
he had snapped the stolen horse. Coulcy

nor the oilcer whose assistance he had OBJ

TWO or three days delay Mr. Bradish, ,hav-

FRIDAY, April %
The Kansas BW-Foprh Trial.

Conference on the Kansas bill, submitted "a
report, recommending a substitute for the
bill, providing for a submission of the Ordi-
nance mot the Constitution to the People of
Kansas, with "A substitute ordinance, which
substitute gives two sections of public land
in every town for schools, soyenty-two sec
tions for University, ten sections for other
purposes, and five per cent of all money re-
cciyod for lands for roads. If the people
agree to this new Ordinance, Kansas is to
come into the Union with the Locompton
Constitution; but if the people reject this
Ordinance, then it is to be considered as a
rejection of the Lecompton Constitution, and
in that event, Kansas cannot form a new Con.
stitution and be admitted to the Union until
the territory has a population Of $4,000, or
equal 20 the quota required for Member of
the House Moreover, the District Attorney
is added to the Board to canvas the votes on
the new ordinance. The present District At
tornoy is Douglas Democrat, but it is pre-
sumed that if it is necessary to count IN Gin
cinnati Directories in order to carry the cleo
ton, the President will remove the incumbent
and appoint new man. In short, this prop
osition provides for the Admission of a Stare
state with only about 10000 population, and
offers the people of Kansas a bride in lands to
vote for the Lecompton Constitution but if
they reject it, then they are threatened with
exclusion from the Union until they have
more than doubled their population. Mr..
English is at this moment defending his prop-
osition, and to that part of it concerning the
land, he claims that his offer gives much
less land than the original ordinance. The
proposition, then, is to give certainly large
amount of land now for Lecompton; but if
the people reject it, then they are to be kent
out of the Union an indefinite time. and run
their risk as to the land. Mr.. Howard of
Michigan, after some considerable difficulty
said a word or two against the proposition.
and moved postponement for consideration.
