The President TO Veto the Judiciary
Bill.
CONGRESS-.
An Early Adjournment Regarded as
Improbable.

WAsnINGToN, June Is. The Star SAYS =
"rhc condition of the necessary business be-
fore Congress is this
The Legislative, supplemental judicial and
army bills have all passed the House. The
legislative bill has passed the Senate and in
Il slightly amended form. 1t will be present
ed to the President not later than Tuesday
Regret has been expressed among the Prcsl-
dents advisers that this measure was not
made the subject of more lengthy debate in
the Senate.
When the bill reaches the President it will
60 to the accounting officers of the treasury
1t is sorry piece of legislative patchwork,
almost incomprchensible to ordinary minds.
1t may be clear to accounting officers, and if
they so report the bill will be taken to the
President.
If the accounting officers cannot under
stand it, the ground of ha,ty and ll-adviscd
legislation will be made the subject of Il veto.
1t is thought by many that the bill will, dcs-
pitc its defects come within the comprehen-
sion of those whu will have its execution IN
hand.
The army bill will be thoroughly debated
in the Senate and its passage bitterly oppos-
cd The ground of opposition lies in the 9th
section which it is held intcrfcres with the
constitutional prcrogatvcs of the President,
in that it would not permit him to use troops
to qucll any riot that might arise at elections.
The bill extends but year and there are no
congressional elections to be held before its
provisions expire.
Opposition to it is therefore based on an
abstract principle although still a principle
nevertheless. If unchanged. its final APP
proval is much in doubt. Like the legisa-
tive bill, its chances of being vetoed are very
fair.
As to the supplemental judicial bill, if tits
passed in in its present shape it will be met
with prompt veto.
The prospects of II speedy adjournment,
for these reasons, grow more beautifully

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON, June II. The old Arctic explor-
ing ship Resoute, which formed part of Aus
tria's expedition in search of Sir John Frank
lin, in 1850, is to be broken up. Ornaments
and handsome pieces of furniture made from
the timbers, the admiralty intend to present
to the President of the United States, as SOU
venirs of the occasion when the Resolute was
found by American whalers and tine U. S. had
her repaired refitted and presented her to the
British admiralty.
Bells Life says that Playford, amateur, of
the London Rowing Club, intends to try Han
Ions style of rowing.
The Sporting Life states that the training
of llanlon and Elliott, for the match Mon
day, is complete. The men are in splendid
condition.
Even money was taken on BLOWER" Brown
yesterday in consequence of rumor that
Rowell had broken down. Rowell stopped
work Wednesday. His heel was punctured
by peg and gathered, causing great pain,
but he is now relieved and possibly may
start. He is in tolerable good condition.
Weston has been practicing running Ennis
looks well and doubtless Sill show a fine
performance. The start is made at II o'clock
Monday.
BELGRADE, June II. The American gov
eminent replied favorably to Servia's note
proposing to appoint an agent to represent
the principalities of Servia in the United
States.

SOUTH AMERICAN WAR.
NAVAL ENGAGEMENT
OFF IQUEQUE.
Gillian Vessel Sunk, Carrying Down
100 Men.
One Peruvian Iron.Clad DESTROYED.

PANAMA, June Is. United States steamer
Adams, which arrived here from Callao on
May I'D, brings the following:
The CHILEAN fleet arrived off Callao Nav
22d, but on learning the first division of the
Peruvian fleet had gone South, steamed of
in pursuit. In the meantime the Peruy ian
fleet learned from passing vessels and by tel
cgraph that the CHILEAN iron-clads had sailed
from lqueque, leaving there only the small
wooden corvette Esmeralda, despatch boat
Cayadonga and transport Limari the Peru
Wan ironclad Huascar and Independence
Immediately steamed to lquequc and attacked
those vessels.
The Huascar, after summOniHg the Esme-
rada two or three times to surrender, which
was answered by brcadsde, at last rammed
the latter, which sank almost Immediately,
carrying down $50 men, 40 Of whom were
rescued and sent ashore as prisoners of war
In the meantime the lndepeneia made chase
after the Covadonga and Limari which the
captain was anxious to capture but not de-
stroy.
The Covadonga, whose captain was very
familiar with the coast, stecred very close
courses, leading the Independence into water
where she was certain of destruction. The
Independents followed blindly and at a
place called Point Gruesa, while at full speed
she struck a rock and became a total wreck.
The Huascar came to her assistance and see
ing it impossible to save her took off the crew
and set fire to the vessel, to prevent her fall
ing into the hands of the enemy. The Cova-
donga and Limari escaped.
