To Relieve Congress.

Washington, 5.-Representstives of
several House committees have been in
consultation for some time Upon bills in
troduced looking to the transfer of all
claims upon the treasury noW before
Congress to the court of claims, decided
to recommend substantially the bill of
Representative House, of Tennessee.
The calendar is SO loaded with all sorts
of relief bills and claims, that il is prsc-
tically impossible to consider any of them
promptly. The design is not to confer
upon the court power to decide and
award, but simply to judiciously lnves-
tigate and report the testimony in each
case with an opinion as to its rights for
the guidance of Congress when it comes
to consider them.

The lavish Problem,

ST. PETERSBURG, May 24.-The regula-
tions agreed upon by the committee of Min
listers and approved by the Emperor, provide
that the Jews henceforth shall be prohibited
from settling outside the towns and will ages,
except where Jewish settlements already ex-
list. The Jews are prohibited from trading
on Sundays and on Christian holidays. These
regulations only apply tc governments where
the Jews are permanently settled. All con-
tracts of purchase or tenancy with the jews
are Professionally suspended.
VIENNA, May 24.-Information has just
reached here that incendiaries have destroyed

WASHINGTON, May 26.-The first over
lures for a compromise of the deadlock on
the Mackey- Dibble contested election case
were made in the House to-day. The Dem
ocrats proposed the appointment of a COM
mittee to 60 to South Carolina and investi-
gate the charges preferred by Dibble, that
Mackey had garbled, perverted and fraudu-
lently tempered with the evidence of the
witnesses. The Republicans Indignantly re-
jected the proposition, feeling that the in
vestigation of the charges by an election
committee was all-suficient. Afterwards
the Republicans held caucus, at which the
sentiment In favor of continuing the fight
until the Democrats yield was unanimous
and strong feeling in favor of amending
the rules to prevent further filibustering on
The caucus adopted a resolution to consent
to six hours debate on the merits of the
pending issue, at the end Of which time
vote will be allowed on the motion to re-
commit portion of the case to the Election
Committee. OF course such motion will be
lost, and the Democrats can then resume fl
clustering. The Republican leaders say
they are only anxious to lay all tue facts In
the case before the country, to judge which
party Is right.
There was conference of the Republican
members of the Committee on Rules from
ten o'clock last night to one O'Clock this
morning, at which the propriety of amend
ing the rules to prevent the Democrats fill
clustering was discussed. What conclusion
was reached is not known, but draft OF the
proposed amendment to the rules was seen
on the Speakers desk to-day, providing that
pending a motion of the consideration on
any question of legislation, involving mat
ter of high privilege, the Speaker may enter
tain one motion to adjourn, and no other
motion calculated to delay action shall be
entertained prior to the disposition of the
pending question. Some of the Republicans
doubt the expediency Of attempting to arbi-
trarily amend the rules. Should 1t be at
tempted there would be a bitter fight. No
settlement of the contest Is looked for before
the middle of next week.

T,mber on the Pubic Domain.


WASHINGTON, May 20.--Secretary Teller
has made an important ruling In regard TO
the construction hereafter to be placed upon
the &C, OF June 8, 1878, authorizing citizens
of Colorado, Nevada and the Territories TO
fell and remove timber from the public do
main for domestic purposes. The. Depart
ment has construed the words s'for domes-
tic purposes" TO mean the cutting Of timber
for individuals for their own use and not for
sale. Numerous suits have been brought
and many are now pending upon this basis.
Secretary Teller holds that 10 take this view
Is to defeat the very intent Of the act, which
vas to provide way by which needed tim
Der for mines, mills and pioneer towns can
be legally obtained. He holds that any
such use within the State or Territory,
whether by individuals cutting timber, or by
millmen to whom 1t has been sold, Is con-
sumption for domestic purposes protected by
the act. The timber cut must be, however,
OF the size required by the Department reg
ulations. This important decision will ma
terially change the course Of proceedings In
case of timber depredations both Of the
Interior, and the Department Of Justice.

A Murderous Politician.

Tucson, May 25.-About 0 o'clock this
morning as J. A. Whitmore, one of the pro-
prietors of the Citizen, was coming out of
Porter's hotel, to which place he had been
to breakfast, he was met by Charles d. Pos
ton, well known politician, and lately an
aspirant for the Office of Governor Of Arizo-
ma, who drew revolver and fred at him,
but the bullet went amiss of the mark and
did no harm. Mr.. Whitmore then stepped
back into the Office, passed out at another
door, and going to Judge Biagg's office swore
cut warrant for the arrest Of Poston on the
charge Of attempted murder. Poston was
arrested, and gave bond to keep the peace.
The trouble grew out of an arcicle which
was published In the Citizen, very deroga-
tory to the character Of Colonel Poston. To-
nights issue Of the paper repeats the attack
more vigorously, and further trouble may be
looked for.
