HOUSE.

HOUSE.
The speaker, ,announ ced as the regu-
lar order the consideration of the Mis-
sissippi levee bill.
After several amendments the bill
passed.
The report of the committee on elec-
tions in the Florida contested case was
submitted, in favor Of Jesse j. Finley
and adverse to Horace Bisbee. The
minority submitted dissenting views.
Both reports were recommitted.
The house then went into commit
tee of the whole on the army appropria-
tion bill.
The number Of aIds-de-camp to
which the general Of the army shall be
entitled was increased from three to
four. i
Mr.. White offered as an amendment
to the bill substantially the bill known
as the army reorganization bill.
Mr.. Hale rose to a point Of order
against the amendment. The chair.
man could only. look to the operation OF
the amendment during the year that
the appropriation bill covered, and il
there was anything in the bill which
might result in an increase of expendi'
lures during the coming year, it must
clearly be ruled out of order. There
was a proposition in the amendment
which allowed officers to retire with
three years. pay, and that clearly
brought it into antagonism to rule 100.
The point Of order was antagonized
by Mr.. Sayler and others.
The chairman stated that the amend
ment did come within the spirit of the
rule, while it was doubtless new legis,
lation, still it was in direction of re-
duction Of expenditures, and therefore
he overruled the point of order.
Mr.. Banning favored the amend
ments. He moved that the committee
rise, in order that the amendment
might be printed.
This was opposed by Mr.. Garfield
and other republicans, who wished tc
have a vote taken, but |. was agreed to

SMITH NJ. WEED was before the Pot
ter subcommittee yesterday. He
admitted the genuineness of the
cipher kilograms printed in the New
York Tribune. He further said that
he ciphered some dispatches to Henry
Havemyer, in New York. This is at
least interesting testimony, for Have
myer wrote card Immediately after
the cipher exposures emphatically de-
nying that he had ever sent or received
cipher telegram.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The vice pres
ident laid before the senate the creden.
tials Of John r. Jones. elected United
States Senator from Nevada. Placed
on file.
Mr.. Hoar (by request) submitted a
resolution requesting the committee on
military affairs to consider and report
whether it is expedient to authorize
the secretary Of war to secure a supply
of canister shot Of an improved pat
tern. Agreed to.
Mr.. Hamlin presented letter from
the secretary Of state saying that the
family of the late Bayard Taylor,
United States minister to the German
empire, was not in affluent circum-
stances, and recommended that the
salary of the minister to Berlin he
continued to Mrs. Taylor for one year.
Referred.
The senate resumed consideration of
the resolution of Edmunds, declaring
the validity of the amendments to the
constitution.
A lengthy debate ensued.
Several motions were made to get
the business out of the way; one was to
postpone until March 5. All were
lost.
Mr.. Edmunds submitted an amend
ment to the substitute of Mr.. Morgan,
that the right of the people peaceably
to assemble for the purpose of petition
ing congress for redress of grievances
or for anything else connected with the
powers and duties of the national gov
ernment is an attribute Of national
citizenship.

The country seems to get along
finely without minister to Berlin.
Let the country conclude that Bayard
Taylor's equal cannot be obtained and
close up the mission. The consuls
then can attend to all the pecessary busi-
ness between the two countries.

their appearance at o'clock Monday morn

At the request of MIR. D. A. Tinklepaugh,
who has been doing the machinery work on
the steamer Hattie, ut Lake Calhoun, and
has also been running the boat for the past
three weeks, Col. McCrory has employed D..
A. Slombs, of Saltwater, frst-cIass engi-
neer. Mr.. Tinklepaugh leaves TO continue
his business as machinist, and Col. Nc
Crory says he regrets that MIR. Tinklepaugh
could not find it to his advantage to stay on
the boat, as his abilities as q first-class en-
gineer and machinist were highly appreci-
ated.
Things are booming at Lake Calhoun.
The new car house, capable Of holding 20
cars, is rapidly approaching completion, and
the waiting room will soon be completed.
During the coming week a line of one hun
dred bathing houses is to be constructed on
the beach between the boat building and the
pavilion. The buildings will foot up total

ed in the best style and with an eye to the
comfort and convenience of patrons. The

Roy DROWNED.

Hans Edsten, While Bathing In the Ricer.
Is CARRIED Doom bya S,citt Current.
Yesterday afternoon Hans Edsten, SON eff ex.
Alderman Edsten, of the old Tenth ward, in
company with some companions went down to
the river near Mueller & Heinrich's brewery to
spend the afternoon in childish sport, as boys
are want to do. firing Of other sport
the boys wandered along the
river bank below the brewery
and at last it was suggested that they go in
bathing. No sooner said than done. Hans
was soon in the water enjoying himself as
only boys can in that manner. In the course
of time the unfortunate lad ventured too far
out, and being unable to breast the strong cur
rent, made doubly dangerous by the recent
heavy rains, the poor fellow was drawn
beneath the surface and his soul
took flight to another world.
This sad accident occurred at abont
half-past three O clock, and it was an hour la
ter before the lads parents were informed of
their bereavement. Hans was bright little
lad ten years of age, and was not only be-
loved by his parents but was q favorite among
a large circle of friends who will seriously
sympathize with the parents in this their hour
of affection. AS soon the sad intelligence
was brought to the city a party started for the
scene and were soon busily engaged in drag
ging the river for the body. Shortly before
dark the body was discovered short distance
below where it went down. The coroner was
notified, but will probably hold no inquest.

Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock Hans
Whaller entered Hallings saloon on Washing
ton avenue, near Ninth avenue south, and
challenged Martin Larson, the barkeeper, to
play ffteen-ball pool. LspBun consented and
twelve games were played, eight of which Lar
son lost, Whaller losing the other four. When
Waller stepped to the bar to settle he claimed
that he should receive twenty
checks. The barkeeper refused to
give him more than twelve. Whaller
then picked up block of wood and struck
Larson under the eye, making an ugly wound.
He then jumped over the bar, and Selling
water pail started for Larson, who ran through
the back door, around the house, and attempt
ed to run through the saloon next door. but
was prevented by the proprietor. Whaller
came up as Larson was endeavoring to get in
the door, and raising the pail with both hands
brought it down on Larson's head with ter
rible force. telling him to the ground. Whaller
then skipped, and at a late hour last night had
not been caught.
Larson's wound, though not considered
dangerous, is a serious one, the scalp being
laid open to the bone.
