WASHINGTON.
Special to the Tlmes-Journal.


WASHINGTON, May 14.-Itlooks now as
II no further action would be taken on the
army bill until the Legislative bill disposed
OF, and as there are SAID to lie dozen SEN
ators Whod desire to speak on it, it will
hardly get to the president this week.
Some OF the members of the appropriations
committee have endeavored to have Chair.
man Atkins call the committee together
ana take some action on the army bill but
out of Difference to Senator Thurman. who is
chairman of the joint caucus committee,
and who desires that nothing shall be done
at present in the matter Atkins declines
to move. 1t is pretty safe to predict that
II they can get it up in the committee it
Will be reported to the house free from any
side issues, and there will be found enough
Democrats who Will vote Tor 1t to pass it.
Thurman has been heard to say quite re-
Gently that supplies must be voted in any
event, and Atkins entertains similar senti-
ments, and that this feeling is now shared
in by many who a short time since held TO
opposite views is certain. It is noticeable
Also that of late no one talks ofgoing home
and leaving the government unprovided
for, while short time since such utterances
were quite fashionable. It's said the Joint
caucus committee will meet for conference
tomorrow, but the programme if any is
agreed on, will probably not be submitted
to caucus before Saturday, and probably
not so soon.
THE SILVER BILL.
The house listened to speeches on the sill
yer bill to-day from Fort, of Illinois, who
said he could not support it in its present
shape, and General Ewing, the father of the
Ohio idea, who made what was in some
respects the ablest speech yet
made for the bill. Serious
doubts are now entertained of its pass
age by those who a few days since regarded
1t as certain to go through. The New
York, Maryland and Pennsylvania Demo-
Gratis are nearly solid against it, and Frank
Hurd, of Ohio, estimates that there are
twenty-five Democrats who will vote
against it, while tits thought there alc not
more than nine or ten Republicans who will
support it in its present shape, so that the
chances of its success are, to say the least,
precarious. Unless it deTclopes additional
strength tomorrow and the opponents be.
come fearful OF its passage, there will be a
vote taken on it tomorrow.
HERMAN SPEAKS.
Senator Herman spoke for three hours on
the Legislative bill and acclaimed earnestly
against the election law as administered I'm.
der the supervision Of Johnnie Davenport
in his state.

TRADES UNIONS.

Attempts to ILterfere with Non-Uni0n
Mon In Violation of Law. F..
EVANSVILLE, Ohio, Dec. 26.-JudgelBall
to-day announced a decision in an injunction
case of interest to trades union men. The
glass manufacturing firm at GAINESVILLE, on
the 18th inst. brought twenty-four Belgian
workmen to take the place of a like number
of men, whom they discharged for refusal to
disregard the order of
the glass blowers union with
reference to the number of boxes to be made
in week. Efforts having been made to in
duce the Belgians to break their contract,
they having hired for three years, the pro-
prietors asked and obtained temporary in
junction restricting David P. Swearer, presi-
dent of the Pittsburg glass blowers, from in
terfering with the Belgians, Swearer having
come to GAINESVILLE to use his influence with
the new workmen. Judge Bell, on full
hearing, refused to modify the temporary in
junction and ordered that the dis
charged men must not In any
way attempt to procure annulment
of the contract of the Belgians or to converse
with the men for the purpose of inducing
them to leave their present employers until
the expiration of the time of the contract
The Judge reviewed at length the organiza-
ton and working of trades unions, and
concluded by saying that he had no doubt
but that the union represented by Mr.
Swearer was in conflict with the laws of the
State and of the United States.

GOING BACK ON DAN.

The Veteran Showmans Pretended Con-
version Discredited by Moody-At Least
He Has Not Announced to Speak.
ST.. Louis, Dec. 26--Mr. Moody, the
evangelist, in an interview to-day states. the
reported conversion of Dan Rice, the show
man, and the announcement that he would
speak at his meeting, have attracted great at
tention throughout the country and
numerous letters from ministers and
religious people have been received here
making inquiries about the matter. While
speaking in kindly terms of Rice, Mr..
Moody says there Ms no foundation for the
reports. So far as he knows, Rice has not
been converted. He has had but one CONVEX
sation with Rice, and in that he gave no
evidence of conversion, however. Rice
has not been announced to
speak at his meetings, nor
will he be. Mr.. Moody added, in such cases
it is not my bad habit to put men forward at
once, or to call upon them Immediately to
preach, e1hort and lecture. It is we'll to try
them awhile, and wien their life and acts
show the genuineness of the change, it il
time enough to put them forward on the
platform. .r~E ..-.
