Congress-.

In the U. S. Senate yesterday the
House bill for the exchange of subsid.
iary coins for lawful money was con-
sidered. The Contagious Disease bill
passed, with amendments. The bill re-
lative to the transportation Of animals
was taken up. Without acting upon
it the Senate went into executive ses
sion, and afterwards adjourned until
Monday.
In the House the Senate amendments
to the Legislative Appropriation bill
we're concurred in, and the bill goes to
the President. The Warner Silver bill
was considered. After all the sections OF
the bill had been disposed of, Mr.. War
ner moved the previous question on its
passage. This was resisted by the OPP
ponents of the bill, and "filibustering'
was at once begun. The House was
still in session at all early hour this
morning.

Why Lieutenant CarrOw, of the
Seventh Cavalry, Shot Himself
Through the II cart,


Through the Heart,
[St. Louis Dispatch to Cincinnati Enquirer
The suicide of Lieutenant M. Carrow,
of the Seventh Cavalry, at the Planters
House, yesterday afternoon, was tele-
graphed yesterday in its main details,
but the mystery surrounding the af-
fair was cleared up somewhat to-day by
the finding among his personal effects
Of letter written by Ella Sturgis, the
daughter of Lieutenant Colonel Sturgis,
of the United States Cavalry, and sister
to Captain Jack Sturgis, who lost his
life with General Custer, at the time Of
the famous massacre. Miss Sturgis had
met Carrow at Fort Lincoln, where she
and the young Lieutenant became very
friendly. The General, thinking his
daughter and the young Lieutenant
were becoming too devoted to each 9th.
er, removed her to St. Louis, hoping in
this way to break up friendship they
deemed unwise. Carrow's pride was
stung, and, after nursing his affiiction
for months, he resolved to come to st.
Louis and settle the momentous ques.
ton. Six weeks ago he arrived here,
and at once pitched into all the fascina'
tions Of the most recherche society.
Two weeks ago he attended german
at the house Of a wealthy resident. He
was to leao in the evening with the
young lady he so passionately loved
He told a friend of this before the
evening arrived, and seemed delighted
at the thought of seeing Miss Sturgis

were never fairer and that he believed
, he was going to be successful. Th'

CURED being the snuggery in the third story
of the United States custom house, set apart
for the United States surveyor general of
Minnesota, together with the emoluments at
tached thereto, etc. The affair, much talked
of and the subject of no little speculation,
was in act and fact very commonplace. DR..
Stewart, little winded from the unusual
climb-he'll get accustomed to it-appeared
at the office door about II o'clock A. NJ He
was received by Mr.. Baldwin, chief clerk, in
the absence of General Baker. Together
they arranged matters; Mr.. Baldwin pre-
sented signed invoices and got the Doctors
signature to the necessary receipts. And
thus DR.. Stewart installed himself in Office.
The whole business was transacted so quiet
~ and unostentatiously, that even the down
stairs people scarcely knew of the change
up stairs. The new surveyor
general was not ready to an
nounce any decided changes,
or at least only few, as follows: Mr.. w.
A. Bennett and Miss O'Neill, TRANSPORTING
clerks, retire, their places to be filled as soon
as possible; Mr.. F. S. Brown, draughtsman,
also is discharged. Mr.. G. G. Mackubin is
spoken of for one of the vacant clerkships
The understanding is that Mr.. Baldwin, chief
clerk, and MIR. A. T. G. Persons, chief
draughtsmsn, will be retained in service.
Their places, they being so thoroughly ia
miliar with the business, could hardly be
supplied. Late in the day the doctor and
Gen. Baker met in a semi-social and bust
ness way and passed the amenities of the oc-
casion with becoming grace.

that by the recent gifts of Hon. Alexandtl
Ramsey and Col. Earle s. Goodrich, the

The departments of zoology, of American
history, of genealogy and heraldry, etc.
were announced as duly organized. The 80

The Great Influx of People to Manitoba.
The daily mention in the GLOBE of the
large parties of emigrants going through
this city for points in Manitoba and the
Northwest, while giving general idea of
the great rush to those points, really affords
but faint conception of the great magni-
tude of this movement, or of the effort be-
ing made by the Canadian governments to
settle up and develop their northwestern
province. These efforts are not, it appears.
confined to the old settled portions of the
Dominion, but the United States, seven. ia
called upon for recruits to swell the thronp
now moving northward, intelligence having
beenfeceived here yesterday that a party
consisting of about 1000 Frenchmen
were about ready to leave Wor-
cester, Mass, for the same destination.
These movements are made under the di-
rectlon of regularly constituted agents, who
attend to contracts with railroads and steam
boat lines for passage, food in transit, etc.
Inc party that passed through here Sunday
