CONGRESSIONAL RESUME.

Mr.. Butler, of Massachusetts, wants
all restrictions in the army regulations
of the United States that tend to the
prejudice of "cOlored Americans" re-
moved, and introduced a bill in the
house yesterday looking to that end.
The vote at the close of the session Of the
house on Thursday afternoon, to post
pone the discussion of the currency bill,
was, on motion of Mr.. Butler, reeonsid-
cred, which brought the bill De-
fore the house yesterday, and
nearly the entire day was spent
in the consideration of amendments,
ard at the adjournment it was agreed TO
resume the bill at half-past one O'Clock
to- day. In the senate the petition
from the citizens Of Indiana and Ken
lucky, in regard TO bridges over the
Ohio river, was reported adversely by
the committee on commerce, and the
committee were relieved from its further
consideration. The Territorial railway
company bill was resumed after the ex-
piration of the morning hour, and after
the adoption of several amendments to
the bill the senate adjourned. Both
houses of congress yesterday passed
bill, providing that the act of 1898, for
enrolling and licensing ships or vessels
employed in the coasting-trsde shall not
be construed as extending to canal
boats, or boat employed on the internal
waters or canals Of any State.

discovered that he haG sncA himself in
the back of the head, Gle ball entering

posed to have been tie cause of the sui
eide.
Commissioner Stern Sas Erade q reply
to the allegations that he was overstep-
ping the powers of his Office in attempt
ing to mitigate the pUni,hment Of VIM.
N. Tweed, end says that Tweed might,
in the eyes Of his bitteTest antagonists
deserve no greater confederation than
the meanest culprit, burglar, highway
man or sbop-lifter, but he certainly is
entitled to no less consideration. He
says his room is little better than large
cell. There is no such thing as wall
paper; few yards of paper muslin are
tackled arouad the walls to guard
against moisture. The carpet spoken Of
dissolves itself into couple Of old rugs,
and his library is a simple shelf with a
Jew books on it.
The nineteenth ballet for United
States senator was taken in the Massa-
chusetts legislature yesterday, resulting
as follows: Whole numbe- OF votes, 268;
necessary to a choice, l35; Dawes, 81 (;
Hoar, SO; Curtis, 72; Adams, Is; WASH
burne and Whittier, each; Sanford, Z;
Banks, s; Bullock, 7. Dispatches from
Washington yesterday, urging the
friends of Hoar to stick to him, and say
ing Davis would withdraw, are pro-
nounced canard. The twentieth ballot
was as follows: Whole number of votes,
269; necessary to choice, 135; Dawes,
SO; HOar, 66: Curtis, Y; Adams, l3;
Bullock, u; Sanford, Z; Washburne,

Estimates Of the Cr0p from One Hun
dred and Seventy Persons.

The cotton pool, inaugurated by the
Augusta, Georgia, exchange, closed last
Wednesday, April 1st. One hundred
and seventy-two estimates were given
in, says the CORstitiORalist, making the
total amount in pool eight hundred
and fifty dollars. The committee of the

mates and money, which will be de-
posted in the National Exchange bank.

Mobile, Montgomery, New Orleans,
Americas and other places sent forward
estimates. Charleston contributed twen-
ty-five, Savannah thirty, Macon eight,
Rock Hill seven, and the other points
each a smaller number. Augusta has
the largest amount of stock in the pool.
The lowest estimate made was 3, 9lS, 203
bales, and the highest 4, ,40S, ,234, while
the average of one hundred and seven
ty-two is 4,l7S,3s3. The crop is to be
decided by the Financial and CONNER
