A BAD BLUNDER IN A BILL.
The Hot Springs Commission Item Left

IN, 7, Tribune.l

IN I. IrfDune.J
WASHINGTON, June 20-A serious error has
been discovered in the enrolment of the SUM
dry civil bill by the clerk of the House. An
examination OF the Law at the State Depart
ment to-day shows that the amendment rela-
tive to the Hot Springs reservation, over
which there was such hot contest In the
Senate, is almost entirely omitted from the.
bill. A portion OF one sentence only remains.
and that is connected with the paragraph
providing that the National Academy OF
Sciences shall consider the possibility Of con-
solidating the geographical and geological
surveys Of the Territories. AS the law reads
after making this provision it declares, "and
the tax imposed shall not exceed SIS per tub.
per annuma
The original amendment which Is omitted.
appropriates $2Z, 500, for the expenses of the.
Hot Springs Commission, directs it's reap
pOintment, and instructs the Secretary of the
Interior to lease to the present proprietors Of
the Arlington Hotel the grounds now occt1-
pied by them for a period of five years, etc.
This amendment was expected to settle a.
long controversy that has been existing, and
was opposed by a strong lobby. There is ne
evidence leading to suspicion that the omis-
sion was an intended one, but the members OF
the Appropriations Committee, Messrs HeW-
lit and Clymer, are greatly annoyed at this
discovery. The latter said to-day that he
woald rather have given a thousand dollars
than to have had this occur, and that he
would prefer that all such hlunders shouh8
take place In the Senate.

NEW YORK, June GA hard Eght took
place yesterday evening, near MoETisiana, be-
tween Geo. Mclaughlin and Frank Thorn
ton, two bruisers OF the fourth waFd, between
whom rivalry has long existed. Both were
tough men. Thornton stood five feet seven
and a half inches and weighed 176 pounds,
Mclaughlin five feet six inches and weighed
163 pounds; both aged abouttwenty- -one years.
The fight throughout was game one and
took in fourteen rounds. Thornton got his
second wind, but Mclaughlin was in hard
with his left in q terrible fashion. 1t was par
ried and the right darted after it and caught
Mclaughlin on the left side and broke his
two lower ribs.
In the twenty-second. roand Mclaughlin
came up like a sacrifice. He had scarcely
taken his position when Thornton's right
struck him full upon the forehead like a
cannon shot. He sank upon both knees and
his head fell upoa his shoulders. Gentle

McLaughlin's seconds threw up the sponge
and carried their man toa wagon, in which he

CRIME.
A NINE-YEAR OLD BOY BRUTALLY
MURDERS HIS MOTHER.
He Stays His UnfaitbfuI Mother with His
Little Hatchet, and COnceaIs the
BODY I'm Grave.

Little HRtchet, and COnceaIs the
Body I'm a Grave.
NEW YORK, June 27.-Another murder has
occurred, and one which shocks the public. 1t
is the murder OF mother by son only nine
years old. The story Is one of the most ap-
pallingtln the whole annals of human crime,
and, w1thal, 1t is heart-tOuching, as showing
the misdirection of noble nature, for the
motive OF the crime was honor, and the son
slew his mother that her blood might wash
out the stain her tntideIity had put upon her
husbands name.
The case is a most remarkable one. There
seems to be no evidence of vicious dishonor
on the part of the boy, but on the contrary he
seems to have had a loving heart, and to have
been tenderly attached to his dead father, but
a cloud came over his young existence when
his mother, forgetting her duty to the living
and the dead, contracted Illicit alliance with q
government employee.
The woman seems to have troubled her
self little to con ceal her GnsOur8 from her
son, thinking child of such tender years
would not be likely to pay attention to her
action, and she does not seem to have ever
suspected the precocious sense of her child.
The boy entered his mothers bedroom,
and finding her asleep, with one
BLOW OF THE HATCHET
he killed her. He then took the body, which
he dragged to a grave he had prepared and
there Inferred it.
The trial of this strange story is progress
ing in the town of Valok, In the government
of Kharkaw. Mr.. Vledimer, professor of
criminal law at the university Of Kharkaw,
has spontaneously undertaken the defense of
the unfortunate child.

Another E1fJrC From HendPIcks-What He
Thinks of Revolutions.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, June 27-The ora
ton before the two literary societies of the
University OF Virginia was delivered last
night by Hon. Thos. A. Hendricks, of Indiana,
In the presence Of very large and fashionable
audience. The Governor said the political
right of revolution Is in the people, and may
be exercised whenever necessary to their
liberty and permanent welfare. The facts
must Re submitted to candid world. Judg-
ment will be pronounced by enlightened man
kind, yet no outside power may interfere, ex-
cept for the protection Of established rights; !;
hence nations could not interfere In our civil
war. The character of revolution was de-
pendent on its result. Washington was de-
nounced In message Of a king as traitor.
After seven years he and his associates were
hailed as patriots and heroes. Lost causes
are favorite themes of poetry and romance, as
Is illustrated In the history Of Scotland and
Ireland.
The speaker said, in fact, if failure revolu-
tlon becomes insurrection or rebellion; ii sue
cessful, it bears the stamp of right and JUS
tic. This was beautifully
ILLUSTRATED BY STORIES
of Rienzi and Robert Emmett. He said our
symDathies were with Ireland. Why should
she not be allowed to administer her own
laws? ? Gov. Hendricks next proceeded to
show that there are two kinds of revolution,
Inevitable and deliberative; the former Is in
comparison the grander. In deIlberat1Ve rev.
olutions the interests Of individuals rather than
about usually by conspiracies, and lead to no
permanent good, as is well illustrated by
the acts Of Brutus and the War Of the Roses
in England. Inevitable revolutions are such
as must come and which no foresight can
eyade. AS three grand examples the speaker
cited the Protestant reformation OF the six
teenth century, the French revolution Of the
eighteenth century and the American reVo-
luton of 1776. These he discussed at length
with much force and beauty. Instriking con-
trast with these, which changed so far the
character Of existing institutions in English
history, in which the changes introduced were
gradual and well-considered, and in accord
ance with the conservative spirit OF the Eng
lish people. AS one striking Illustration OF
the latter, he referred to Runnymede, anG
also instanced the survival of the English
maxim, SThe king is the founder OF justice,
and the king can do no wrong" which sal1l
remains, though only now
SERVING AS FLOOD MARKS
to show how high the tide of prerogattve
once rose. Hendricks said Cuba should be
free, and in conclusion alluded, by way of il
lustration, to the great strength between
many who obey and the few VINO rule, and he
insisted that while we must stand for law and
regularly organized societies, we mast see to
it that exact Justice is done to all, and then
and not sooner outbreaks will cease and uni
versal peace will bless mankind.

RRtler Wants All the True Inwandness He
Can Get.

NEW YORK, June 27.-The Post Washing
ton special says: At the examination of Pit
kin, to-day, Butler laid the foundation for
trying to prove the alleged bargains in the
Louisiana settlement. Butler thought that
while he should prove that Packard was le-
gally elected, he believed that Hayes was en-
titled TO the vote of Louisiana as we'll as the
vote of every other Southern State if free
and fair election could have been held in some
of them.
The members of the committee took occa-
sion to differ with Gen. Butler on this point.
The committee, at the instance of Gen. But.
Ter, has caused a telegraphic summons
TO BE SENT PACKARFs
at New Orleans, to come before the COM
mittee before sailing for Europe.
Butler said he thought Packard would
throw some light on the transaction
which, he intended to, show, up. It was
that the Returning Board of Louisiana was
only to keep up to Its work during the count,
by promise that they should not be harmed
but taken care of.
AS the committee has entered upon this
branch of investigation the session win proba-
bl y continue most of the summer.
