Col. Calvin Sayre OF Alabama. Jones, who was
standing on the step, was attacked with heavy
cane, by Sayre; blows were exchanged. and
Jones had his left wrist broken. He wrested
the cane from Sayre, and with his right hand
returned the blows. Col. Johnson, a friend of

no one else assisting, he was unable TO keep
them apart, and they renewed the contest with
pocket knives, Jones receiving a severe cut across

severe cash across the throat, and stabs in the
abdomen. During the fight they threw each

ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE DAILY srr.l

WAsHINGToN, d. c., May II.
THE TARIFF BILL AND ADJOURNMENT.
The house made slow progress with the tariff
bill yesterday, but every vote taken gave evil
dence that the Dawes bill is backed by q major
ity. The revenue relormers, who want large re-
auctions, are much disguised with this fact, and
some of them are inclined to give up the con-
test. If this feeling should grow, o short
cut will soon he found TO the passage
of bill. The high protectionists
do not like the ten per cent. reductions pro-
posed by Mr.. Dawes on some articles and under
Kelley they are trying to destroy the bill
Curiously enough, the extremes-the protec-
tionists on one hand and the free traders on the
other-have occasionally joined forces to defeat
the Dawes bill. 1t is hoped that very soon two
thirds of the house will see the folly of remain
ing here SIN weeks to quarrel over bill which
can never pass the senate, aud will take the ten
per cent. bill, with a brief internal revenue
section accompanying it, and pass it under n
suspension of the rules. 1t is certain that if the
house goes on, item by item, with the tariff tax
bill before it, the session cannot close before
July.
1t is rumored that another attempt will be
made to call up the senate adjournment
resolution tomorrow, but it is foolish to do so,
as it will be opposed by Mr.. Dawes, Mr. Gar
field, and other leaders, till something definite is
done about the tariff bill. 1t is true that all the
prominent republicans desire an adjournment
by the 4th of June at the latest, and hope yet to
accomplish it.
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
The report of the house district committee on
the doings of the board of public works will
hardly get hearing at this session; but if it
does, it will not be adopted without lively de-
bate. Some republican members say that too
much whitewash was used, and that certain
transactions of the board must b. censured by
honest people. Nobody expects decision which
will stop REINFORCEMENT of the city going on but
quite number of republicans in the house wish
thar there had been enough wholesome criticism
and censurc in the report to put the board on its
guard in the future.
DOUBT OF HALE's RESIGNATION.
There seems to be some doubt of the resigna-
ton of Charles Hale from the state department.
The matter has been under advisement, and at
one time it was fully believed that he would
30.
PRESIDENTIAL RUMoRs
Continue abundant; that in regard to Senator
Morton having broken down, the latest story is
that Mr.. CollaX is to take the place of Grant
Probably, by tomorrow, Speaker Blaine will BIZ
the coming man.
The fact is that there is not the slightest pros
poet that Gen. Grant will be rejected at Phila
| delphia. There is not one clcar-headed republi
can in congress who docs not expect that Gen
Grant will be nominated at Philadelphia, though
there are several who would prefer Cofax OF
Blaine. SAM WELLER.

CHICAGO, May ia general court martial
OF which General Stanley is president, has been
in session at Fort Sully, ID. T. aud adjourned
yesterday to reassemble at Fort Rice, on the
10th of june The only case that reached trial
was that of Captain Sanger of the 18th infan-
try, who was tried for seduction and abortion,
which resulted in the death of the victim, and
for conspiracy against Captain Donovan of the
same regiment. Captain Donovan and one or
two others were the only persons who knew Of
Sanger's guilt. Sanger entered into the con
spiracy with Surgeon Goddard of the same regi
ment with a view of shutting Donovan up on
charge of insanity. The case came before Sur
geon Goddard, who pronounced Donovan in
sane and he was at once ordered confined in St
Elizabeth hospital, near Washington, d. C. He
was taken to Washington in December last, but
through the influence of friends obtained re-
hearing of his case, and the surgeons there pro
Dounccd him perfectly sane. He was ordered
back to his regiment and has now been instru-
mental in bringing Sanger to trial. The findings
of the court martial has not yet been made pub
lie, but it is not doubted that Sanger will be
disgraced and suffer long imprisonment. 1t is
understood that when the court reassembles
Surgeon Goddard will be tried on charge of
abortion and conspiracy in the same case.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER AT FITCHBuRG. We
learn from the Fitchburg Sentinel the following
particulars of a mysterious murder which has
recently come to light in that town: About four
O'Clock on Thursday afternoon the body of a
woman, apparently about thirty-five years of
age, was found in the woods in the north part
of the town, with terrible bruises about the
head, made undoubtedly with large fiat stone
weighing ten or fifteen pounds, which was found
near by. The body was found lying in pool
of blood, and partially covered up by lot of
pine boughs. When discovered the limbs were
not stiff nor the blood much coaguated, which
indicated that the murder had been committed
within the previous twentyfour hours
Coroner Lucius Field of Clinton took charge
of the body, and summoned jury After
viewing the body and the scene of the murder,
the inquest was postponed till Friday of this
week. The whole case is sbrouded i'll mystery
as the woman is unknown, and there was
nothing found about the place to identify her.
small hut built of pine boughs was discov-
cred a short distance off, and it is thought the
unfortunate woman belonged to party of one
or two French Canadian tramps who are sup
posed to have built the hut. The body was laid
out in the public library room at the town
house on Friday afternoon, and an immense
crowd of people passed through TO look at the
remains. E

reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction OF
