WASHINGTON.

oyWAsHNaToN, ID. c., March 2.
r, The president to-day Withdrew
from the senate the nomination of
Pinchback as naval officer fer New
Orleans thus leaving Lewis, the
present incumbent, undisturbed.
The house committee on ways
and means virtually decided to-day
against any revision of the tariff
laws during the present session of
congress By indefinitely postponing
the consideration of the sugar guess
tion, the steel rail question and the
bill reducing the tariff on certain
articles embraced in section. 1904
of the revised statutes. Three
votes were taken by the committee,
resulting in Z to 6 in each instance.
Gibson La. favored a revision of
both internal revenue and tariff
systems, with q view to equalizing
the burden Of taxation upon all
CLASSES and interests, and offered a
resolution for the appointment of
a committee of five members to take
into consideration the entire subs
ject and report at the opening of the
nextsession Of congress. The res>
olution was, however, ON motion of
Mr.. Morrison, tabled by a vote of
Z to 6, as follows: Yeas-Morrison,
Mills, Garfield, Kelly, Congor, Frye,
Wood; nays-Tacker, Gibson, Phelps,
Carlisle, FELTON,, Dunnell. AS the
questions disposed of to-day are
considered the most important that
have been referred to the committee
during the present session, the re-
suit is generally accepted as an in
dicatlon that no tampering with the
tariff will be encouraged or per-
mitted by this congress.
Suit was entered toSday in the
district supreme court against
Senator Hill, Of Georgia. He
is charged with seduction, in
1877, at Atlanta. The dam
ages are laid at $4,000. The
complainant is Jessie Raymond.

Free eShiPs-Discussfona at the Boston Con-
 vention-Passage of the Bounty Resolu-
 tion.
 BOSTON, Oct. S-The Ship Owners con- vention assembled at 10 o'clock to-day. Mir. John H. Boynton, of the New York Mari time Association, submitted paper on sub- sidies and bounties in which he claimed that if proper laws were enacted there need be no subsidies granted American vessels could be built that would assume the carrying trade of the world. He claimed that protec lection increased the balance of trade against us by $721, ,OO0, ,OO0, while new legislation in the direction of removing such tariff would give us an export trade that would add $l44,- GOO. GOO to our wealth annually.
 Mir. w W. Bates, of the Buffalo Dry Dock association submitted resolution looking to the passage of an act by Congress providing for duties to be paid by all vessels not built or owned in the United States when they shall apply for clearance, and which shall provide for assessments of such dues:
 Mir. Crowell of the Boston board of trade, spoke against the wooden sailing ships and in favor of iron steam vessels, and hoped that the Government would allow the purchase of
 
 our ports only for the purposes of foreign trade. John Price Wetherill. of Philadel- phia, advocated the repeal of the navigation laws and claimed that the cost of running an American line in competition with the subsi- dized English line would be done at loss, and the only remedy was to go to Congress for help or to put American labor upon par with English. Following is the text of the sixth resolution as adopted:
 Resoloed That results have clearly and forcibly proven under the present condition of affairs our shipping cannot prosper or even maintain itself III competition with the navigation of other maritime people,
 Therefore, we call upon the Government to aid the restoration of commerce by granting bounty of $- per ton per year for sail tonnage, and $-- per ton for tonnage for period of - years after the passage this act This to apply only toEesses engaged the foreign trade and not exceeding fifteen years of age.
 The convention adjourned finally at Il o'clock tonight after adopting resolutions petitioning Congress to establish 8 depart ment of shipping, to exempt from taxation materials used in ship building, and to abol- ish compulsory pilotage and the office of ship commissioner.

The Su1tan's Last Card-Rousing the
 Religious Fanaticism of His Subjects.
 CoNsrANT1NoPLE, Oct. S.-What has been for some time feared as possible now seems to be imminent. The dilatory policy of the Porte has not been without an adequate mo- tive behind it. The Porte has held in re- serve it's strong cards, and these now are about to be played. The purpose of the Porte is to call into play the religious fanati- cism of the whole Mohammedan race, and to use this as a means of exciting the people to resistance to the death against the demands made by the united powers of Europe. To this end there has been put in circulation among the people report that prophecy has lately been discovered which points out the exact present condition of affairs as be- tween the Mohammedans and Christians, and predicts that at this moment the Mohamme- dams will come to the defence of their tenn poral and spiritual head, the Sultan, and not only drive back the Christian hosts who are assisting him, but enable him to carry an az gressive war into their territory. The proph- ecy in some respects resembles that of Mother Shipton.
 It sets forth that the time has now arrived when the faithful disciples of Mohammed must fight for their religion and country, and that complete victory will crown their efforts. The Sheiks from all the Moslem countries are now nastening to the Sultan's palace, urging him to proclaim religious war and to call on his people to drive the infdel dogs from the Turkish soil The situation is very crit ical

Sad Romance Of Young Svyede.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 8.-At 6 o'clock this morn ing another body was recovered from the Hudson river tunnel It was identified as that of Otto Bisselen, young Swede. The young man was the son of wealthy parents residing in Stockholm and received an ex- cellent education. He came to this country in 1875 in search of adventure and gold. After stay in the Black Hills, during which he spent all the money he had with him, he re- turned East. He had meanwhile fallen in love with beautiful Swedish girl and he commenced to work hard to accumulate money on which to establish home. He had almost accomplished his intention when the catastrophe occurred which deprived him of his life. The girl has been frequent visitor at the morgue ever since the accident, and this morning, when she stood by the insight ly remains, she was almost heartbroken. An other body was recovered this evening.
