i by striking out the proviso of the first sec
ton relative to the re-marriage of widows
| and extending the benefits of the act to ie-
males who married officers, soldiers ant
sailors within three years after the treaty o
peace.
| The North Carolina Senatorial election
case was considered, MIR. Logan arguing a,
length in favor of the re, ort of the majority
election committee that Abbott was not ell
titled to a seat.
Mr.. Carpenter got the floor but yielded
to Mr. Cole on whose motion the consular
and diplomatic appropriation bill was taken
up.
An amendment was adopted providing that
hereafter no allowance be made to any con-
sular or diplomatic officer after the termina-
ton of his official functions. other than for

House.
During the discussion Mr.. Shanks of Ind,
characterized the civil service reform and the
abolition of the ranking privilege as two
specimens of regular western humbuggery.
The discussion was continued by Messrs.
Potter, Holman, Wakeman, Kellogg, Dun,
| nett, Stevenson and Perry. The two latter
were in favor of the amendment
Mr.. Butler opposed and declaredthe move
ment to have been shrewd political brick
to put the President in position where if he
did not inaugurate it he would be attached
| and if he would it would be a failure. The
thing has sprung from the late turned out
secretary of the interior
Mr.. Stevenson remarked that Mr.. Butler
attributed too much honor to the late secre-
tary.
Mr.. Butler said it came from there and will
end there; it began in Cincinnati and will
end in Cincinnati.
The discussion having closed the amend
ment offered by Mr.. Sargent to reduce the
appropriations to $4,000 was adopted-92 to
SO.
The next important amendment in the bill
was the extension of the Capitol grounds
north and south, the estimated cost being
about S500,00
Mr.. Garfield chairman of the committee on
appropriations explained the subject and
stated that the committee recommended nom
concurrence, not merely as formal matter
but as an expression of the House, so when
the matter went to the conference committee
the House conferers might understand the
wish of the House.

Washington Speculations.

The Washington correspondent of the Bos-
ton Daily Globe furnishes that paper with
the following under date of the 1Oth:sa 9 So
'.H Consequential Damages. s71
Considerable speculation has been excited
as to the representative influences behind
Mr.. Peters's resolution opposing the claim
for consequential damages at Geneva, pro-
sented yesterday and referred without read
ing. 1t has been charged that the mover was
inspired by the State Department, which sees
its only escape from an untenable position in
arouslng counter sentiment. Mr.. Peters
distinctly denies that he acts on any ones
Judgment but his own. He is fully convinced
that our claim is illogical and unvise, and
| that its presentation will result in defeating
the Washington treaty. A large number, Of
direct claims are owned in his district. Apart
from his own opinion, he, believes that
withdrawal from present demands would ben
efrthose claimants. Otherwise he doeS not
believe they viii get anything. All state
ments that Mrs. Peters acted on behalf of
the administration in this matter are as nm
equivocaly denied by authority, as BY the
mover himself. The resolution was sur
prise to most Of the members, ~ It was not
read; but no doubt exists that Mr.. Peters's
view OF the matter is entertained by many Of
the more thoughtful members. II debate Is
had over the resolution, this will appsar.
Political Conventions and Probabilities.
Some Of the Southern States will not hold
State conventions, but will choose their dele
gates,-republicans at least will do so,--in
| Congressional District conventions. Ala
| bama will do this on the 18th prog. Arkan-
sas, according to present appearances, will
have two sets of delegates It Philadelphia.
| Both republican conventions will meet in
May at Little Rock. Senator Pool, Governor
Holden, Col X. M. Douglas, Representative
Cobb and others, are quite confident Of re-
publican ability to carry North Carolina At
the State election next August. Influential
republicans from Alabama assert the same
thing for their State. II 10 conceded thst,
owing to local Gquarrels, the Administration
has lost Arkansas. 1t is believed here that
the Missouri republicans will nominate Rep.
resentative Finkelnburg for Governor, and
thus make bid for the reunity Of the party
and the German vote, in St. Louis, where
Finkelnburg is popular. General Sypher Of
Louisiana is being pressed as the republican
candidate for Governor, because it il AFFIRM
ed he will unite both factions Of the republi-
can party. iSa

Under the liquor law the manufacturer is
authorized to sell cider-but how? UndOubt.
edly in the manner usually practiced by man
ufacturers, by the barrels or cask. Thus the
farmer, the manufacturer, enjoys the same
privileges he always had-no less, no more.
Is it a fair construction of the law to say
that it authorizes him to open a grog shop
and peddle cider in our streetss But setting
the law aside, when so many OF our citizens
are earnestly striving to reform, and so many
keepers of saloons have voluntarily suspen ded
the sale of liquors, including cider, to have q
person, in defiance of law and the gospel Of
reform, establish cider mill on our principai
street, and faunt his bills advertising his
wares in the face and eyes Of the public, is
cold blooded and heartless act.
