Sutro, New, June 30.-To-night the

Washington, July 1.-Mr. Eatar
called up the adjournment resolution,
and moved to amend it by fixing p. m.
to-day as the time. Mr.. Window
then spoke in explanation of his course
on yesterday. He said his side had
now exhausted all legitimate powers
conferred upon them by the rules, in or
der to induce the majority to make the
necessary appropriations for marshals.
The president had, so far as Mr..
Window knew, exhausted all the pow
ers possessed by him, on the subject.
He had made patriotic appeal to con-
gress to do its duty and not go home
without making the necessary appro-
priations.
The adjournment resolution, as
amended, finally passed.
Mr.. Maxey moved the discharge of the
committee on foreign Affairs from fur
ther consideration of the house joint res
olution looking to a further treaty with
Mexico, in order that it might be con-

portance that it should he carefully ex-

London, July IA Times CORES
pondent at Paris, says majority of the
Bonapartists are unders TODD to concur
with Rouher in acknowledging Prince
Jerome Bonaparte rs chief of Napoleonic
dynasty. They agree that the will of
the late Prince Imperial which asks ex-
Empress Eugene to cooperate with
Prince Victor, was written on assump-
tion that the testator would survive
Prince Jerome Bonaparte. This reas-
oning, however, is considered trans
parent excuse for non-observance of
the impracticable will of the Prince
Imperial.
Rouhers retirement from active poll
tics is evidently owing to the feeling
that he and Prince Jerome could not
act together, and the latter could not
be set aside. Between Prince Jerome
Bonaparte and his possible adherence to
the republic, and the impossibility Of

ing against the wishes of the Prince
1mperial's will, or.provoking distinct
disavowal from Prince Victor, the
Bonapartists are in one of the most
perplexing positions ever occupied by
any party.
The Chamber of Deputies has noted
the urgency of Jules Ferry's election
bill.
The Queen has commanded the troop
ship Orontes to bring the remains of
the Prince Imperial. They will be

She Didn't Sail.

San Francisco, July 1.-The jean
nette was to have sailed to-day but her
departure was delayed; the cause is
not fully understood, Lieut.. DeLong
being reticent on that point.
The city journals contain local items
to the effect that some defect has been
been discovered in the machinery, and
also that no orders have been received
from the navy department detailing a
ship to convoy the Jeanette to Behring
sea, with coal and provisions to be tram
shipped to the yacht at that point.
The ship Alaska has gone to Mare
Island, presumably to land her arma-
ment and ship coal, stores, etc., with a
view of acting as convoy.

Atlanta, March 1l.-This afternoon

bloody tragedy, the parties being Col.

difficulty arose from Aston having the

GERMANY.
The Impending Crisis.


Berlin, March 1.-THE personal al
tercations of the last two days have
certainly complicated the situation I'M
mensely, and If the mere personal irri-
tation were to be considered, Bismarck
would have enough reason for prompt
ly appealing to the people, but there is
as yet no occasion to doubt that the
financial measures will at last be sub
mitted to the present reichstag.
The National Zeit,tng seems to fear
an early dissolution. 1t admits that
Bismarck is all powerful in the federal
council, which would readily accede
If he proposed dissolution. But it adds
ominously that new elections at present
would only result in the creation of a
radical party, which now does not ex-
ist, unless the socialists can be so con-
sidered.
This is supposed to relate TO the al
legged intentions of DIR. Lasker and
other national liberals to join the ad-
vanced liberals. Such coalition
would create regular and very radical
opposition.
