CONTESTS IN CONGRESS-.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l9.-From
50 far the probability is
that the next House Of Representa-
tives will have more contested elec-
ton cases before it than have been
before any house for many years. AL
ready we have have knowledge of
contests to be made fro m Massachu-
sets, Pennsylvania, New York,
Maryland, Indiana, North Carolina,
South Carolina Louisiana and Wis
cOnsin. OF these contests nearly one
half will be made by Republicans.
In view Of the remarkably close vote
in number of districts, informality
of certificates and other causes the
clerk of the House will haye Il very
and delicate duty in making
up the roll Of the next House of Rep
rtSentatiVeS.
PROMINENT MEN IN TROUBLE.
CHICAGO, ILL, November IL
The United States Grand Jury, now
in session here, has had under con
bills against nearly all the
officials who have been
connected with the construction of
the Chicago Custom House, among
them are eX-Secretaries of the Treas
ury Richardson, Bristow and Morrill,,
Secretary Sherman, Supervising
Architects Mullett, Potter and Hill,
of Construction
Rankin, Holmes and Hannaford,
Building Contractor Muller, Assist
ants Mills and Reed, Stone Contractor
MontrosS, and others. Il is said true
bills will be returned against most of

three years statute of limitation.
THE MEETING OF CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, November ia
of Senators and Representa-
tives haye arrived in Washington
to the resembling Of
Congress, which will occur two
weeks from to morrow. None OF
tho,e thus far arrived have any def
niteidea as tOany particular measure,
outside of the regular appropriation
bills, that may be considered. Opin-
ion as to whether the finances will
occupy much tim is divided, but
the majority of those now here eX
press the belief that both parties will
avoid any protracted discussion of
that subject.
1t seems to be generally accepted
that discussion of financial questions
at the approaching session will be
to such propositions as may
be recommended by the President in
his annual message and by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury in. his annual
report. The recommendation that
will he made in these two state pa
pers, in view of the near approach of
the day fixed by law for resumption
of specie payments, are likely to be
of an unusually interesting character,
and may bring on protracted dis
cussion, whether the leaders desire
such discussion or not.
