! WASHINGTON, May 22.-The bill
which passed the Senate at O'Clock
Saturday morning, after a continuous
session of eighteen hours, to enforce
the XVIII Amendment, Is Of such a
stringent character that it Is not ac-
eeptable to the supporters of the origi-
nal measure which passed the House,
and when it is taken up there a nom
concurrence will be moved. One Of
the remarkable features of the bill is
contained in the eighth section, which
gives the Z. S. Marshal power to call
on the land and naval forces of the
United States to assist them in case of
resistance. The Republican members
of the House declare that this pro-
vision is such a palpable violation of
the Constitution that they will not
vote for it.
Assault Of Forney.
FOrney promised an assault on the
Republican Senators who are on the
Judiciary Committee of the Senate.
The article appeared to-day, but falls
far short of public expectation. He
denOunces them personally and pOlit-
ically, declares that they are sympa-
thizers of the rebels of the South and
associates of the Democrats of the
North, but fails utterly to refGte the
conclusions of the aforesaid commit
tee, TIN IrI'Orney received $50, 900 from
Governor Bullock to influence the
vote of the Senate against Bingham's
amendment. The other Republican
papers come out with copies of For
ney's article, taken in this investiga-
tion, which are of most contradic-
tory character, and plainly admit of
an alteration of the books ofthe Chron-
icle to make them show that Bullock
had received a full consideration for
his money,
BsIIlgersnt Rights for Cuba.
General Jordan ex-Cuban COM
mander, is in the city. He had an in
terview with several members of the |
Senate and House Committees on for
eign relations, and succeeded in OBJ |
taining a promise that an important |
resolution would be introduced in the |
House within the next two weeks |
looking to the grantal of belligerent |
rights to Cuba by this Government. /
He insists that the Cuban cause is still /
in a tlourishing condition, and that
the Spanish government, in the alb
sence of encouragement from this |
country, will give up the struggle as
hopeless before the summer shall
cease. He talks in very earnest
manner, stating frankly both sides of
the case, ana has succeeded in creating
a very favorable impression among
those whom he has approached. He
proposes to fit out five gunbOats in the
city of New York, and sail for Cuba
with a reinforcement of 1000 Ameri-
cans who, he states, are thoroughly
j9repared for the enterprise. Over TO-
5 & stand of arms and q large amount
f5aemmQnition are waiting shipment
to Cuba
New White House Of the Indian
Troubles.
The Pres dent complains that the
White House is very unsuitable for a
residence, and regrets having sold his
mansion. He is in favor of the con-
of a new mansion as a Presi-
dental residence somewhere in the /
northern suburbs of the city.
Messrs. Sykes, Gardner & Co., of
the Willard hotel in this city, will it
is mentioned, run the Stetson House,
at Long Branch, this season and for
a series Of years, they having secured
2 lease thereon.
The deputatiOn of fur importers
from New York and Philadelphia are
urging the President and Secretary
BouSwell for a reduction of tariff on
all American skins. The President
will recommend an investigation by
Boutwell, in the matter.
A dispatch received at army head
quarters from Gen. Wood, dated Fort
Wallace, Kansas, states that 800 Indi-
ans were engaged in the late raid in
that State. They succeeded in driv-
ing off 300 cattle, and also killed
about twelve mep,
