FROM WASHINGTON.
The Ku-kIuN Bill.

Special Despatch TO the EUening Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, April THE Senate Judiciary
Committee had session this morning on their
bill for the suppression of the Ku-klux.
The House bill was informally considered, but
no agreement was reached.
The House bill was brought over to the Sem
ate this morning, and Immediately referred to
the Judiciary Committee. 1t is believed that a
majority of the committee will report the House
bill without material amendment. The debate
in the Senate will probably be continued until
Wednesday, when the Republicans will sit it out
and force the Democrats to vote, SO that final
adjournment may be had on Friday.
The Senate Elections Committee
this morning had before them the case of Mr..
Abbott, claiming a seat as Senator from North
Carolina. The committee having decided that
Vance, the Senator elect, has no case, the only
question before the committee is, whether Alb
bott received q sufficient number of votes to en-
title him to an election. On this he asked fur.
ther time to put in additional arguments.
Darien Ship-CanaI.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee To-
day, at the instance of the Secretary of State,
considered the Darien Ship-canal treaty. The
Secretary is of the opinion that the treaty
should be disposed of before adjournment. 1t
will probably be reported by the committee to
the Senate, and allowed to take its chances. The
committee also authorized bill to be reported,
directing the Secretary of War to allow five or
six Japanese students to be educated at West
Point, the Japanese Government paying their
expenses. 1t is reported by several Senators
that the
Joint High Commission
is likely to finish its labors In the course of
couple of weeks, and that treaty will be at
once concluded and sent to the Senate In this
event the President will convene the Senate in
extra session for the transaction of executive
business. This will be great disappointment
TO Senators who are anxious to leave the city.
1t may also prevent the President from making
his contemplated trip to the Pacific coast.
The New Loan.
The Treasury department this morning re-
ceiyed million and half subscriptions to the
new loan. Private subscriptions outside the
banks amount to between ten and twelve
millions.
senator MOrrill's Speech
on San Domingo, which he is now delivering,
contains a sharp criticism upon the report of
the commissioners. This was not in the speech
as originally prepared. The speech being prin-
cipally confined TO statisticsI is producing little
impression, and there are few persons in the
| galleries.

Asylum.

Suicide of an EX-Alderman at the LInatic
Asylum.
Richard TernaD, a well-known and prominent
citizen of Brooklyn, terminated his existence at
the Kings County Lunatic Asylum, Flatbush at
an early hour yesterday morning. The death of
his wife about year ago had the effect of unset
Ting his mind. His friends removed him to the
BloomiDgdale Asylum, and subsequently trans
ferred him to the Institution at Flatbush. Here,
latterly, his actions convinced the keepers that
him in the padded cell, or suicides room, as
it is called, for safety. He managed during the
night to twist one of the sheets into rope
secured one end to the grating in the door, and
suspended himself by the neck. When dis
covered life was extinct. He was native of
Ireland, and graduate of Trinity College, Dub
lin. AT the time of his death he was fifty-one
years of age.

GORGEOUS BUSINESS EsTABLIsHNIENTs.-Th
fine drug store of DR.. Henry 7. Helmbold, now
nearly completed. and soon to be opened under
the Continental Hotel, Philadelphia, will be one
of the finest stores of its kind in America. 1t is
one of trio, all modelled after the same gene
raj plans, the two others of which are In New
York CITY, One of these is situated at No. 594
Broadway, and such is its elegance OF style that
it has come to be known as the Crystal Palace of
Pharmacy It is visited by thousands daily, and
the general sentiment expressed is that there is
not another store to equal it in the world. The
second store is situated farther up Broadway,
and is also in the highest styls oe elegance.
change has lately been made in the management
of the store No. 594 Broadway, by which DIR.
Dyott, one of the best known of any who are
connected with the proprietary medicine busi-
ness, and whose reputation is world wide by
reason of his being the editor and publisher of
the oracle of Health, has become associated
with the proprietor of that stand, where he will
henceforth be pleased to see his old friends.
With this augmentation of the force of the esta-
blshment, a new impulse TO the business may
be expected and the amount done will be larger
than ever, though it is now what may very pro-
perly be called immense. The store in Phila-
dephia it is expected will, when completed, be
the Headquarters for the retail drug trade in the
city, and no effort will be spared to produce this
end.

ALLEGED CONSPIRACY.
All About a Panorama.


Before Alderman Smith, yesterday afternoon,
Samuel d. and Charles d. Prentzell were
charged by Charles H. Jarvis with conspiracy
to cheat and defraud and with trying to extort
money from him. From the testimony adduced
it appears that the prosecutor and man
named George V. Horn were the lessees of
panoramic exhibition. In the early part of
March last Mr.. Horn and Mr.. Jarvis waited
upon Mr. Samuel ID. Prentzell (who was repre-
seDted to be the owner of National Hall, on
Market street, below Thirteenth), and desired
to rent the hall. The terms agreed upon were,
that Mr.. Prentzell was to receive thirty per
cent. on the gross receipts of the exhibition, as
an equivalent for the use of the hail. the lessees
of the panorama to pay all the other expenses
except gas and coal. The place was opened on
the 18th of March, and after running nine
nights they were compelled to close, owing to
Mr.. Prentzell threatening to turn off the gas.
Mr.. Prentzell said the exhibition was not run in
the way he desired and he would therefore stop
it. The day following Mr.. Jarvis was notified
that The panorama had been seized for $500 rent,
including costs; and on Wednesday last it was
sold for $780, Mr.. samuel Prentzelrs son be-
coming the owner. The original cost was $4500.
The suit for distress for rent was instituted by
Charles D. Prentzell, who had previously denied
being the owner of the hall. The defendants
were held in $1,000 bail each for their appear
ance at court,
