No Abatement of Interest i'm the

international Pedestrian Match.
NKw YORK, March 10.
The retirement Of OLeary from the
struggle for the Ashley belt, and the cham
| pionship Of the world, has not reduced in
the least the interest in the pedestrian con-
test. 1t is only more concentrated, with
an earnest wish that the belt may be kept
in this country, together with the glory
and profit of the match. The score is as
| follows, at IL AL NJ: Rowell, 3l4; Harri-
| man, 900; Ennis, 286.
Neither the Withdrawal of O'Leary, nor
| the advance in the admission fee, causes
| any apparent abatement of interest in the
international pedestrian match. AT the
| newspaper offices and business places,
| where the score is displayed, crowds are
| constantly gathered. OLeary says he does
not expect again to be able to make 800
miles in six days tramp. He will return
home soon. At 2 O'Clock the score stood:
Rowell, 1913; Hartman, 800; Ennis, 294.
At 8 o'clock Rowell had made 32S miles,
Hartman 3O4 and Ennis 299. Hartman
has been off the track since the start the
least time of any, his total resting time
being 10 hours, 50 minutes and Is seconds
Tremendous applause shook the building
when Rowell and Ennis raced two laps or
more around the track this afternoon.
Rowell seemed to move with an effort, but
Ennis appeared as fresh as at the last start.
Not Complimentary to Senator
Sharon.
NEW YORK, March 10.
The "Times" Washington correspond
ent reviews the laws and practice OF Con-
gress regarding the pay of absentees, and
contends that they are not entitled to pay
unless by q special Act of Congress. He
quotes Senator Clayton, of Delaware, in the
Thirty-third Congress, who said There is
no law for paying any man who stays
away upon his own business. The cores
| pondent concludes What would Clayton
and his associates in the Senate have
thought if a Senator had demanded pay
for nearly two years, during which time he
was at home experimenting his silver
mines, and in he face of two sections Of
| the law. Senator Sharon is the most con-
spicuous example of absenteeism furnished
by the annals of Congress. The Times T"
editorial on the subject, says Blu though
the millionaire. who was mean enough to
| draw public money which he did not earn,
is not likely to refund ii, after the payment
| has been found illegal, it is hoped that the
| people will not be subjected to q repetition
| Of such swindles now that the law has
been clearly set forth.
simon Cameron and the Widow
Oliver.
WASHINGTON, March 10.
The suit against ex-senator Simon Cam
eron, brought by the Widow Oliver, be-
gan to-day. Cameron's counsel says the
suit is simply a blackmail. Mrs. Oliver
| claims to have in her possession a letter
| Of which the following is a copy, which
she makes the basis Of the alleged promise
to marry:
WASHINGTON, Sept. Is, 1875.
MY DEAR MRS. OLIVER will carry you
| TO q better home than Washington. You
should not stay there. l think / shall
have q safe place for you, with relatives to
protect you. You will be my wife.
Signed, s.. c.
Mrs. divers friends say that the prin-
cipal obstacle in the way of the marriage
was q neice of Mr.. Cameron's, who was
strongly opposed to the union.
Bayard's Opinion About h Extra
Session.
New YORK, March IS.
Herald" reporter interviewed Senator
Bayard last night. He thinks the extra
session Of Congress will be short and gem
eral legislation excluded. Two appropria-
ton bills will be passed, and the obnoxious
war test-oath of 1862 will be repealed,
| which, he says, excludes nearly the entire
| white population Of the South from the
jury box. A law will be passed providing
for impartial Jurors, and an amendment of
the law permitting the presence of armed
forces at elections, to keep tho peace, and
q repeal Of those portions OF the Revised
Statutes which provide for the appointment
Of Federal officials as Supervisors Of Elec-
tions in the several States, and Of count-
less Deputy Marshals, with unlimited
power Of arrest, with or without process,
even while the election is proceeding.
Bayard believes these measures will be
pressed by the united strength Of the DEM
ocrats of both Houses.
WASHINGTON, March Is.
The "Post' says: The Democrats will
pass the Legislative Appropriation bill pre-
cisely as it was passed at the last session.
Not an additional 81" will be dotted, or a
st" crossed, and the House will do nothing
| else until the President signs it or rejects
it. II he approves it the army bill will be
passed, and Congress will adjourn imme-
diately. If he vetoes it the Democrats will
conclude that 10 time need be wasted, and
will adjourn at once. II another extra
session be called, the same programme
will be carried put. The Democrats will
not yield an inch, and are willing that the
President should carry OH the government
without money.
The Steamboating Season.
New York, March Is.
The navigation Of the Hudson opens two
weeks later than last year. The steam
boating season bids fair to outrival that of
many previous years, both in the elegance
and number Of boats, and in the compe-
tition in prices, both for passengers and
freight. 1t is rumored that a mammoth
iron steamer, intended for night travel, is
now building, which, in elegance and out
fit, will excel any boat engaged in the Hud-
son travel.
RhOda's Letter on the Anti-Chinese
Bill.
New YORK, March 10.
The "World" has a letter from Franklin
Rhoda, Of Brooklyn, California, on the
anti-Chinese bill, in which he takes the
ground that California has been misrepre-
sented as being unanimous, or substan-
TALLY so, in favor Of perpetrating a base
and cowardly wrong upon an u~noffending
people, and this merely because of their
