THE SPEAhEh ON The FLOOR-A BOUT
WITH THE REPUBLICANs-THE ELEC-
ToRAL FRAUDs-oREGoN VS.. FLORIDA
RUMoRED DISCLOSURES FROM LOUIS
lama.
SPEAKER RANDALL IN THE RING.
WAsHINGToN, April 30.-Quite scene
of interest and excitement was OCCASION
ed on the floor of the House this after.
noon by the fact of Speaker Randall TAX
ing part in the debate on the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation bill,
and charging the republicans with delib-
crate design of herding together to pre-
vent proper and necessary reductions ia
the public expenditures. This was the
signal for an attack on Mr. Randall
along the whole republican line, which
was participated in by the large fry like
Garfield and Foster, and the small fry
like Hale and Conger. The great effort
seemed to be to make personal points on
Mr.. Randall by alluding to the back-pay
grab and his presidential aspirations,
&c. Mr.. Randalps friends think he gave
as good as he took, but the republicans
are congratulating each other tonight on
what they call the complete demolition
of the Speaker.
THE CONFESSION BUSINESS.
1t was stated in well informed quarters
to-day that should u move be made to
investigate the matters set forth In the
Florida disclosures, motion will be
brought forward to amend by providing
for an investigation into the Cronin mat
ter in Oregon. 1t was said that Cronin
was to make a confession which would
serve very we'll as stand-off for the Nc
Lin confession. In regard to the story
of an anticipated confession from McLin,
the strong probability is that it is manu-
factured out of the whole cloth. There
is nothing for Cronin to confess, as every
particular of the Oregon transaction was
thoroughly made known through the in
vestigations of last winter. Mr.. Tilden
stated positively, pending the electoral
count and before the electoral commits
sion had awarded the vote of Florida to
Hayes, that he would not accept the
presidency through the Oregon vote, but
| that all he expected from 1t was to com-
pei the commission to go behind to re-
| turns in the Florida case.
The personal friends of Mr.. Hayes
| will direct their efforts in case OF investi-
cation to enlarge the scope, SO as to in
Glade various collateral questions, the
purpose being to protract the investiga-
ton that 1t may De made practically use
| less. The anti adm nistration republI-
cans will doubtless find it to their inter-
est to assist in this plan of tactics. Ru-
\ mors have been flying around for the
| last day or two to the effect that some
astounding disclosures were to come
from Louisiana, which would be Of
much more Importance as invaldating
Mr.. Hayes's title than the Florida dis
closures. Even If these statements could
be traced to any responsible source,
1 which so far has not been the case, 1t is
questionable whether additional disclos-
ures are needed to prove that which few
people now care to deny.
TAX ON CHINESE IMMIGRANTs.
The subcommittee of the House Com.
mitiee on Education and Labor has
agreed on bill imposing tax of 500
each on Chinese immigrants. The bill
has yet to be submitted to O full commit
tee for consideration.

in exchange for United States notes.
