amending the Rssles.

WASHINGTON. March 3.-The house com.
mittee on rules this morning agreed to the
resolution to appoint special committee of
nine representatives and seven senator's to
attend the two hundredth anniversary of the
discovery of the mouth of the Mississippi
river, at New Orleans next month.
The committee on rules also had under con-
sideration Reeds amendments to the rules,
and the discussion was spirited. Blackburn
and Randall, Democratic members of the COM
mittee, took the position that the proposed
amendments would deprive the minority of the
house of its rghtful privileges, ,and tie its hands
so as to make 1t powerless. Blackburn gave
notice that the Democrats will fllibuster
against the adoption of these amendments,
and said if the majority proposed to stand by
the amendments he would advise them to
summon all their absentees, as the Democrats
would resist until the dOg-days and would stop
all legislation. Finally it was agreed that
Blackburn and Randall should have time to
prepare substitute and submit 1t to the COM
mittee, which they will do. The Democratic
members generally take much the came view
of these amendments as that expressed
by Blackburn, and declare that they
will resist their adoption by all means
in their power. They say the object
OF the majority ID 10 render the minority COM
paratively powerless and to push through the
election cases, unseating Democrats and seat
ing Republicans in their places. Also to put
through the bill to admit Dakota and to retire
Gen. Grant and other measures which the
Democrats are opposed to. 1t is now expected
that these amendments will come up in the
house next Tuesday, and the Indications point
to lively struggle.
Since the meeting of the house committee
on rules this morning more attention has
been given to the prospect of the contest over
their adoption. Blackburn and Randall are
very earnest in their desire to make the strict
party fight on them. They assert the changes
are made in the interest of the lobby, and if
adopted tbs loss to the treasury will be i'm
mense. Randall probably fears there will be a
detection from the Democratic side In favor
of the new rules, for he has. already urged a
Democratic caucu, to discuss and decide the
party policy when the time comes to vote on
them. Reed, author of the principal amend
ments commended by the majority report, is
very confident a full discussion OF them will
result in considerable Democratic vote in
their favor. He counts on all the Greenback
and Independents votes. The prospects are
good for prolonged contest.

RETIREMENT OF GEN. GRANT.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-There has been
considerable opposition worked up in the
house to the bill to retire Gen. Grant, and ap-
pearances are that the Democrats will unite
and oppose it. There is good deal of talk OF
semi Republican opposition, bat it is thought
in some quarters that the course of the Demo-
Gratis in taking q stand against 1t, so as to
make it party measure, will have the effect
of uniting the Republicans in Its favor. Its
passage, however, will be strongly resisted.

TIE FRANCE ENGINE.

The Test Yesterday and the Result Not Very
Satisfactory.
As the new La France steamer failed to per
form fire duty at the fire on Tuesday last, the
fire commissioners and the chief engineer of
the fire department determined to have test
made to see what was the matter The
steamer was accordingly taken up to the
junction of Fort street and Goodrich avenue
yesterday afternoon at 8 o'clock, where trial
was made, with the following results:
First trial-At 2:55 she started with so
pounds of steam and 100 pounds OF water
pref At 3 O'Clock she had 35 pounds of
steam and 1876 pounds of water pressure. At
At 3:02 she had 80 pounds of steam, when she
was shut off.
Second trial-At 3:05 she started with 70
pounds of steam and 18O pounds of water
pressure. At 3:08 she had so pounds OF steam
with 140 pounds of water pressure. At 2:10
she had 60 pounds Of steam with $50 pounds
of water rower. At 3:14 she had 65 pounds
of steam with 200 pounds of water pressure.
At this point the hose burst and steam was
shut Off
Third Test-She started with 70 pounds of
steam and ran ten minutes, when she dropped
to 40 pounds. She then went back to 80
pounds, when she shut down at 3:45 for want
of water in the cistern.
Fourth Test-At $40 she started with 100
pounds of steam. At 1852 the hose burst at
so pounds of steam and 145 pounds of water
pressure.
Fifth Test-At 3:55 she started at 100 pounds
of steam, and dropped to 80 pounds in fise
minutes, and IN one minute more to rs
pounds.
Sixth test-At 4:04 she started with 60
pounds of steam. At 4:06 she went to so
pounds with 145 pounds of water pressure.
At 4:0S she had 80 pounds of steam. At4:10
65 pounds At 4:12 she dropped to 80 pounds
of steam, when she was shut Off
Seventh test-At 4:l7 she started with 120
pounds of steam. At 4:2O she had 100 pounds.
At 4:22 she had 70 pounds. At 4:24 she had
65 pounds. At 4:25 she had 65 pounds.
Eighth test-At 4:29 she started with lis
mounds of steam and at 4:3l, she had 60
pounds.
This concluded the tests, and it is needless
to add that the result was disappointment.
The fire commissioners were all present, and
watched the steam gauge with great care. AT
the conclusion of the test inquiry was made
of Mr.. Tubesing, the engineer of the steamer,
as to what was the cause of the stes N drop

but he could give no explanation. No one on
the ground could explain II. The
coal used was the very best selected
coal that could be found, and

splendidly. The coal was showed in and the

OF the working of the steamer both at the
fire of Tuesday, and at the test yesterday, is a
