Prom1ssory Wages CertificateS-A Bill in
 Their Favor-Vice President Arthur's
 Birth Place-An Investigation of His
 Alleged Disabilities.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-The Committee on Ways and Means at their meeting to-day au- thorized Mir. Kelley to report the House bill to exempt promissory notes issued for wages from taxation and ask it's passage. This is an act to release the Philadelphia and Read ing Railroad company from certain taxes as- sessed by the Commissioner of Internal Rev enue upon interest bearing promissory notes heretofore issued by it to it's employees and commonly known as wages certificates, and provides that said company shall pay the &C., tual costs and expenses incurred in the pro- ceedings taken to enforce the payment of said tax.
 It has been repeatedly stated since the presidential election that Vice President elect Arthur is not native of the United States. There have been number of circumstantial publications pretending to show that he was born in Canada. If he was he cannot of course take the office to which he has been elected. The attention of the Senate Com mittee on Privileges has been called to the doubts as to Arthur's nativity that have arisen The committee has also been fur nished with additional evidence on the sub- iect Several members of the committee be- ieve that Arthur is not an American by birth. It is the intention of the committee to investi- gate the subject thoroughly. This will be done in order that steps can be taken to pre- vent General Arthur assuming the office of Vice President in case it shall be found that he is not native
 Major Butterworth, who represents the First district of Ohio in Congress, has re- turned from visit to General Garfield. He was asked if Senator Conkling would have a representation in the Cabinet, to which he made reply that if Senator Conkling had refused, but has been told that he can have any other place he may choose to select, would it in such event be General Garfeld's fault if New York is without representation in the Cabinet.

Married But Not Mated-Strange Fate of
 aYouthful Bride.
 PROVIDENCE, Feb. 1O.-The inquest upon the body of Elsy A. Chace, who died sudden ly in Pawtucket January 2s, was held to- day. The mother of the girl testified that there was nothing unusual about her daugh- ter until 10 o'clock of the day she died, when One doctor gave decided opinion that the girl had not been poisoned, but had died of gastro enteric irritation, caused by cold and damp. The girls stomach and contents had been analysed by H. W. Vaughan, analytic chemist and late State assayer, and he created great sensation by the reported finding of from 30 to 40 grains of common arsenic in the stomach.
 The case is very peculiar, for the girl had been married to Swede named Neil Nelson her husband. She even declared that she could not account for having consented to marry him. He had been man of all work about Mrs. Chace's house. It is claimed that he exercised kind of mesmeric influence over Elsy. Nelson has very good reputa- ton, however, and the autopsy proved the truth of the girls statement that her mar riage had never been consummated. By Elsy's will all her property, which amounts to several thousands of dollars was left to her mother, nothing being left to her hus- band. Nelson has the sympathy of many neighbors and no suspicion of any kind rests upon him in connection with her death. The inquest was adjourned for further investiga-

 LONDON, Feb. 1O.-In the House of Commons to-day Sir Harcourt, Home Score tary, in reply to question, said it gave him pleasure to announce that the health of MT: M. Dayitt, whom the government had felt it's duty to deprive of his liberty, greatly i'm proved since his incarceration in Pentland prison, and that MT. Davitt was quite satis- fled with the arrangements that had been made for his comfort. This statement was received with ironical cheers and laughter by the Home Rulers and generally by the House.
 Dillon, Home Rule member of Parliament for Tipperary, speaking in Manchester, said if Englishmen did not quickly change their temper toward the Irish they (the Irish) would indeed be dogs and slaves if they did not long for the day when they could join the United States. MT. Parnel1, he said, within month would stand in the Congress at Washington, an honored and welcomed spokesman of their wrongs.
 MT. Nally, one of the traversers, will be charged at Claremorris with threatening and abusing the police.
 It is expected that Mr. Parnen will go from France direct to America. It is ru- mored that he is being hunted by English detectives
 LONDON, Feb. 11.--There is much talk concerning Mr. Parnell's future movements. He will leave very shortly for the United States and his return to Ireland is uncertain.
 The land bill will be introduced in the House on Tuesday next.
 A large number of Fenians have lately ar rived in Ireland from the United States, and their movements are being closely watched by government officers.
