WARRINGTON, March sO.-The Oil
veT-Cameron case WAS continued t..
day. Butler Is still cross-examinins
the plaintiff. Her testimony varied
little, il any, in Its recital Of alleged
wrong aud outrage.
LONDON, March 20.-The preface
OF NJ. Jules FerIy's education bill
brought forward in the Chamber OF
Deputies, states that according to ex-
letting laws foreigners are not allowed
to teach in France, and declares the
same exclusion should apply to an or
der essentially foreign by character OF
its doctrine, nature aud aim and its
statutes. The Paris correspondent of
the TiBs<s remarks that this passage,
OF course, refers to the Jesuits, who
have twenty-seven colleges in France,
with S4S teachers, twenty-six other
communities having sixteen establish
ments and 1859 teachers are also un-
recognized by the State, and they will
consequently be deprived by bill OF
rights of tesching. II is presumed
that if the bill passes, the disqualified
orders will transfer their establish
ments to those recognized by law, but
there will be bitter struggle before
tie clause becomes law.
| LONDON, March 20.-Prince Gorts-
chakoff, in q dispatch dated February
z, answers Lord Sslisbury's dispatch Of
January 20, pressing the execution Of
the treaty with Berlin by Russia
Gortschakcf declines to enter upon a
useless discussion. He holds that
Sal sbury's dispatch contained nothing
which conflicts in principle with the
Russian view of the execution of the
treaty of Berlin, but it shows that the
British government has been sometimes
/ mistaken in regard to the intentions of
Russia and her agents. The latter he
says must support within the limits of
the treaty of Berlin the interests of IL Q
population for whose defense Russia
made war. A general understanding
would be greatly facilitated if these
populations acquired the conviction
that their interests would be effectHsl-
ly defended by Europe within the
same limits when Russian troops were
no logger there to protect them. All
that the British government and Its
agents can do is to induce in them con-
6dence, moderation and resignation,
ana thus effect the equitable aud psci-
t1c execution of the treaty which will
meet with Russian cooper .tion.
WARRINGTON, March 20.-HoUsE-
Ellis, of Louisiana, offered a resolution
to Increase the membership of the
Committee on Elections from eleven to
| nineteen, and stated that he did so in
the interest of economy and correct
ness, since it frequently happens that,
owing to the press of business, the
committee was not able to report on
contested election cases until the last
days of the session.
Mills, of Texas, said he thought ev-
cry contested election case should go
TO a special committee.
Frye, of Maine, said he desired to
apologies for remark which he had
made the other day, to-wir., that he
did not believe in the total deprayity
of the Democratic party. The vote
upon the Florida case had shown him
he was mistaken. daughter
The resolution was finally referred
to the Committee on Rules.
Reagan, of Texas, desired to refer
several bills, but Conger, of Michigan,
objected. He also objected to the
reference of q resolution which Young,
of Tennessee, desired to offer, for the
disappointment of the Fellow fever
commission.
The House, at 1918, adjourned I'M
til Tuesday.

the constitution of the United States
giving the President power to except

items 30 disapproved by him to be
treated as in the case of q veto.
Mr.. Wallace called up the resolution
heretofore submitted by him calling
on the secretary of the treasury to fur
nish detailed Statements of amounts
paid TO marshals in New York, Penn
sylvania, Ohio Massachusetts, and
Maryland to date and description of
service performed by the deputy mar
shals at the elections in October and
November 1873.
Conkling offered an amendment so
as to include the other states. After
q debate it was rejected.
CoDkling offered another which was
agreed TO covering all the other states,
but Information as to New York, Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Massachusetts and
Maryland was not to be deferred before
the additional information could be
prepared.
Edmunds offered an additional
resolution calling upon the secre-
tafy TO report fully all information
in his possession touching the occasion

and provisions of law under which
they wers made. This was OBJ
jected to. He then offered his
amendment in q modified form.
