PROPOSED LEGISLATION IN CONGRESS.
The resolution offered in the House of Representa-
tives on Tuesday by s. s. Cox. calling the Secre-
tary of the Treasury for information as to the
moneys paid into the Treasury under the act Of
June z 1872. since the time of its enactment by
the respective United States Shipping Commission
ers is sad to have special reference to the admins
tration of the Shipping Commissioner in New-York.
The law of 1872 requires all the money received in
States Treasury. 1t is claimed that this has not
been done by the New-York Commissioner, and that
the failure of provision to enforce the law enables
him to retain the excess, amounting to many thous-
ands of dollars annually. Captain G. c. Duncan,
the present Shipping Commissioner, could not be
seen yesterday. But 1t is understood that he con-
siders his management of the Office to be i'll every
way justified. lie is said to have the opinions Of
more than one United States Judge as to the pro-
prlety of retaining such funds as he does retain ;
and il is also claimed for him that bis annual ac
counting is regularly made TO the Circuit Judge.

ZACH CHANDELIERS JOKE.
How he Revenged Himself On the Cham
pion Senate Boxer.

Senator Conkling, writes Wash1nton cor
respondent, not Only takes great care OF bis
health, but he trains himself by stated ex-
ercise, abstinence from Intoxicating drinks
with heavy clubs and boxing gloves. Stand
ing six feet and two inches in his stocking
feet, with stalwart frame not burdened with
any superiious flesh, and arms with strands
customer to tackle. When. he kept house
here he had an upper room devoted to boxing,
and 1t was his delight to get his friends to
put On the gloves, and then to punish them.
One day he knocked lack Chandler down.
The Michigander didn't get angry. but vowed
he told Mr.. Conkling that O country. cOnstitu-
ent of his desired to be introduced to him.
Mr.. Conkling loves attentions, and he asked
Mr.. Chandler to bring the Michigan visitor to
his appearance at Mr.. Conkling's residence
with clean-shaved middle-sized gentleman,
modest in his department. who said but little.
After awhile Mr.. Chandler adroitly began to
talk about boxing and the pnsu u MI
manly art of self-defense." The trio went up
stairs, and, as neither OF his visitors
would put on the gloves. he mauled 9
bag Of sand which was hung from the
ceiling. Finally the young stranger put on
the gloves, Id d verdant way, and the Senator
from New York came dancing towards him,
looking down with an air OF paroninzing con-
tempt, as he struck from the shoulder q blow
which was intended to be foorer. But the
blow was parted, and another was given In
return, which knocked Conkling down, flat
Springing to his feet, he sought to retrieve
this undoubtedly accidental hit, but before he
could touch his opponent, chuck came a lett
handed blow, and down went the athlete 9
second time. Chandler could no longer restrain
himself, but exclaimed: There, Conkllng yor
see how good man feels when he is knocked
down. Let me Introduce you to my friend
Mr.. Price, who, as Ned Price, was the cham

DOG BEFORE HUSBAND.
An Incident Of the Steamer Explosion on
Lake Minnetonka.
[st. Paul Mimi Pioneer Press.


Mr.. $. Z. Tate, the gentleman referred to in
the previously printed accounts Of the explo-
sion of the steamer May Queen, as the person
who was Instrumental in rescuing several
persons from che wreck, furnished one rather
Iudicrous incident connected with the catas-
trophe. Mr.. Tate, who was fishing in the
vicinity and was All eyewitness to the explO-
sion hurried to the wreck with an intention
of rescuing any unfortunate that might need
suecor His search among the debris resulted
in discovering 8 lady imprisoned III the rear
cabin ia the only portion OF the boat
that was not blown almost to atoms. Some
six feet Of the stern was left uniniured, and
the roof above had been driven down, and in
here the lady was found. AS soon as Mr..
Tate discovered her condition he put his boat
up to the only remaining window, and, after
some perseverance and the exercise Of d little
necessary force he induced her to crawl
through the aperture into the boat. Her first
ejaculation after being rescued, was: "Oh!
my poor dog; seeif you cart find him." Mr..
Tate had other business to attend to just at
that time, and 50 informed her, but at her
earnest solicitation looked about for that dog,
but without success. Imagine his surprise
when, q minute later, the lady pointed to a
gentleman, who, half in the water and half
out, was clingng, beside the engineer, to a
large piece Of wreck that was floating in the
vicinity, and screamed out: "Oh, my poor
husbandw Sure enough 1t was her husband,
and fortunately but little injured. The dogs
corpse tloated to the surface few minutes
after the passengers reached the shore.
