WASHINGTON, June aS.-Thc small but
very earnest and sometimes noisy party In
the House, represented by Mr.. Robinson,
Of New York, which Is determined TO
twist tho tail Of the british lion short oil,
on account Of the Imprisonment Of Ameri.
can citiz.ns without trial or just cause, was
reinforced to-day by Col. Wilson in man
ner tlnt seems to meet general approval.
Atleast his resolution making II percmptory
demand upon tho Brilisl, government for
an explanation Of its action in the iorcible
detention Of American subjects was adopt.
ed by the House.
MIR. Robinson's resolution for the im-
parchment Of Minister Lowell will OF course
20 the way Of most Of that gentlcman's hot
headed and impracticablc resolutions. But
the proposition Of Mr.. Wilson is TO the
point and means business It is in the
nature OF u rebuke moreover to the dila.
tory, dilly.dallying policy OF the State De-
partment, SO strongly in contrast with the
manly and vigorous policy outlined and
foreslladowed by Mr.. Blaine.
The Conference Committee on the Dis
trict water bill have reached IN agreemen,
at last, and will recommend that the ex-
pense Of the proposed improvement be di-
vided equally between the Government and
the District. 1t is also agreed that none of
the $4,000 appropriated for fish ways ut
the great falls Of the Potomac shall be
charged to the District. In this shape the
bill is eminently satisfactory to our citizens.
AS n matter Of interest in connection
with the Star route trials, one OF the de-
tectives employed by the government in
formed your correspondent this evening,
that he believed the bottom Of the prosecu.
ton had fallen out at Inst, and it wouldn't
surprise him Mt all il the proceedings
collapsed within week or two in utter
failure. Symptoms TO this effect are oh.
yious TO those who have kept posted in the
progress OF the cases.
John W. Mason, West Virsinia's repre-
sentative on the National Republican Com
mttee, is here from Grafton. 1t is said
that Mr.. Mason is among the foremost can
didates named to succeed Mr.. Golf in the
District Attorneyship. lie seems ut any
rate to have many friends here, and they
are outspoken in the recommendation Of

Fight Sippri In the Bud, hut Two Men
Wounded.
RlrOX, Wis. June 2S.-A profound and
widespread sensation was caused to-day by
the statement that y duel was fought in
this neighborhood last night, resulting in
the shooting OF one OF the principals and OF
an outsider. Tie principals were Detectives
l4E. Zero and james Devanny. The affair
took place out OF n misunderstanding that
took place several years ago, and which has
grown in bitterness and intensity until it
was resolved TO settle it by an appeal to the
dnellO. All arrangements were completed
to carry ont the fight in secrecy. Pistols
were chosen us the weapons and the formal
itles were entered into.
City Marshal Crooker, however, learned
Of the aiIlir, and arrived on the ground
Just as the fighting was aboat to begin.
While Marshal CrOokcr was endeavoring 10
stop the impending duel, Devanny struck
Zero unawares, knocking him down, and
,1t him badly. llo would have killed him
had it not been for Al. Zero, who stepped
iaand closed Devanny's eye with Il we'll
directed blow.
Dewinny was then taken away by the
Marshal and assistant, but loosening him.
s9llGc turned round, ran back, pulled n
s~NteNcking thirty.two calibre revolver, and
called on Al. to beg, which he would not
DO. Devanny then fired; the bullet enter
~ the right wrist OF Zero and came out at
The elbow. Dcvanny attempted to pull
smother shot, but his pistol missed fire
Then with the brandished weapon and
lin threats he passed through crowd OF
SPECTATORS and went of. The Feros were
carried out home after having their wounds

WARRINGTON, June oS.-In tho Ilou.e
today Mr.. Ortl, from tho Committee OIL
Foreign Allais, reported Il resolution re.

called for by the resolution Of tho o5tl, Of

American citizens in British prisons, 10

llSo, by whom such proposition Ind been
made, and tho nature thereof. 'fttsT
The previous question was ordered no..
withstanding the objection Of Mr.. Robin.
son, of New York, who desired to otter an
amendment, and who protested against the
attempt to sti(le him. He was called 10
order by the Speaker, who finally ordered
the sergeant-at.Arms to sec the gentleman
seated. Mr.. Robinson gave notice that he
would Tomorrow move to. in,pcach the
Minister ut London. That was II privileged
question, and he had a right to be heard
upon 1t. IA ..'s +. i. & 5,fsFs. IL
Mr.. Wilson, member Of Tho Committee
on Foreign Ailairs, supported the resolu.
ton, but especially advocated a resolutit n
which he proposed to olltr when the pend.
ing one was disposed Of. His resolution
requests the President forthwith 10 dc.
mand Of the government Of Great Britain

American citizens in Ireland, and il It shall
appear that such Imprisonment is wrong
and IN violation Of the rights OF American
citizens, lie is authorized to demand their
release, and il it is delayed or refused
snail resort to sucl means he may think
proper to effect such release.
Mr.. Robinson was then accorded The
iloor ior seven minutes, but contcnptuous-
" declined TO make Use OF them. lie said
hc had documents by him which should
bring blush and shame 10 the iace OF every
American. lie could show that for hun
dFed days the President had been on his
knees before Lord Granville and that Lord
Granville was splitting in his face and
insulting the Nation by refusing to listen
to his prayers. There was all kinds of
garbage and nonsense sent TO Lord Gran
vile to tell him that the House was not in
earnest. Extracts from the New York Tri-
d"ne, as treasonous as ever was spawned
from the yernih that Washington hunted
in '7G, including the ancestor Of James
Russell Lowell, who was Tory, had been
sent to Granville, telling him the House
was not in earnest.
lie expressed his contempt for The
milk-an'l.water resolution Of the Commit.
tee, declaring the House had rot suili--

would show whether the British Lions
tail should be wrenched or the American
Eagles neck wrung. The resolution was
adopted. -.
