AN INCIDENT IN THE LIFE OF
MORRIsEY.
WAsHINGToN, May 1.-Two or
three incidents connected with Mr..
Morrisey's first official appearance
in Washington are not unworthy of
mention. The day after he arrived
here to take his place in Congress he
was seated in the barber-shop Of Will
liard's hotel, when beau Hick-
man." we'll known as ''the champion
gentleman beat of America" APP
preached him and said: "Mr. Morris
sey, permit me, Sir, to congratulate
you upon your election to Congress,
to a position, Sir, / have no doubt
you will adorn." "That's not bad"
replied Morrissey, "but what does it
cost ?" "Oh, only So" replied Hick-'
man. "That,s cheap" said Morris
sey, and then handed him the money
without another word.
A GENERAL LOCK. OUT.
LONDON, May IA meeting of
master cotton spinners and manufac-
turers held at Manchester has unani-
mously resolved to issue circular to
the mill owners throughout the strike
district recommending that the mills
still open be closed tomorrow, and
advising that no individual arrange
ments for opening the mills he made
with the workmen. The adoption
of this resolution has caused great
anxiety at Manchester, as it is be-
lieved it will render general lock-
out inevitable and widen the gulf be-
tween the masters and employees.
OHIO LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS.
COLUMBUS, o., May THE Dem
Ocratic members of the Assembly
( held a caucus tonight to consider
the question Of redistricting the

| luton declaring it the sense Of tho

ENGLAND GETTING READY FOR
WAR
LONDON, May 6.--The coming
week will he an unusually busy one
at the English arsenals and dock
yards. Ship owners who hitherto
have been privileged to berth their
vessels, in proximity to the admir-
atty moorings, opposite the victuaI-
ING yard at Deptford, have received
notice to remove them by to day. as
all the room available is to be reserv-
ed for transports. The reports of re-
Grating Off 'erS for the past month
show a remarkable increase in the
number of enliStments for the army
and the increase is still advancing ut
a steady rate.
| THE INVESTIG ALTON QU ESrION.
WAsHINGToN, May Tt is the
impression at the Capitol to-day that
| the resolution Of in veStigati0n of the
Florida election will not be offered
before Thursday. Those who are in
communication with MIR. Tilden
have not yet received instructions
| that it is time to make an advance.
Morrison, of Illinois, says that the
only good he can see which will come
out of the investigation Will be to
unite the Republicans, and divide
! the Democrats into Tilden and anti
Tilden factions. At the meeting of
the House judiciary Committee held
this morning, no allusion was made
to the subject of an investigation.

to protest against war should the
Government take further measures
likely, in the opinion of the Liber-
ais, to lead to war. The statements
