SEYMOUR'S SCRAPE.

Light at Last Upon a Big Bond Robbery.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
BosToN, Dec. 3O.-Merritt Seymour, of
New York, who has been confined in the
Charles street Jail for the past six months,
will in few days be taken back to New
York to answer to the charge of receiving
stolen property. Early in January of the
present year, the safe of Mr.. Foote, of
Salem, Mass, in the safety deposit vault at
40 State street, in this city, was rifed by
professional bank sneaks of $4,000 worth
of United States and railroad bonds. It
was some time after the bonds were miss
ing that Mr.. Foote was confident they were
stolen from his safe, and about the same
time a. clerk in the vault disappeared, and
he has not since been heard from. His
disappearance led the officers to suppose
it was through his assistance that the
bonds were taken from the vault. The
New York detectives were notified, and
after a tedious task Detectives Adams and
Haly OF New York succeeded in arresting
Seymour, who had sold some of the bonds
in New York. The detectives, in following
up the clew, ascertained that man an
swering Seymour's description sold $780,
coo stolen government bonds to Pine
street firm. The detectives, after learning
more Of Seymour's work, be-
came convinced that Seymour
acted as a go-between the
thieves. After disappearing twice from
his residence, Seymour was arrested Sept.
?, and brought here, where he has since
been confined IN jail. It is said that it is
for want of evidence that he is not tried in
this city, bat he will be returned to New
York in charge of Detective Adams, of
that city, who has come to Boston for the
purpose of bringing him back. Seymour
is anxious to go back to New York, where
ne can obtain bail.
Interesting Decision.
MILWAUKEE, Dec. 3O.-An interesting
decision was rendered to-day in the county
court in the suit against the Chicago
g. Northwestern railroad. The object in
volved damages for right of way. The
suit was brought against the company as
corporation incorporated under the
laws of Illinois" The company's counsel
demurred against this because the compa-
ny is also incorporated in Wisconsin, and
the suit should have been brought under
that title. The demurrer was sustained
and the suit dismissed.

SERGEANT MASON.

Subscriptions ana Petitions Pouring In.
WARRINGTON, March 1S.-Subscriptions for
The benefit of the family of Sergeant Mason
are being made up in all the government de-
partments, and the indications are that a
handsome sum will be realized. Col. Corbin
has started subscription in the war depart
ment. In the meantime petitions and applica-
ton of all sorts for executive clemency in the
case of the prisoner himself are pouring in up
on the President frem all quarters
Mr.. Bigelow, counsel for Sergeant Mason, is
confident he has discovered points in the pro-
ceediDgs of the court martial which tried his
client that will invalidate the finding and
sentence. The points upon which he relies
are of various informalities in the organization
of the court and failure to have Mason present
at certain stages of tue proceedings when his
presence was essential.

XLVIIth Congress-1st Session,
HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, March IS.
A small attendance of members was present
when the House met for debate only on the
Chinese bill.
Mr.. Speer of Georgia was the first speaker In
the contest, he said, between the United States
and China, the former had no unequal adver-
sary. "The little brown man." eulogized by
Joaquin Miller was born diplomatist and the
United States was dealing with renowned
empire. This bill was measure of self-de-
fence and no other question which could be
presented to the present Congress was of more
importance. Peace had its victories and the
passage of this bill would be one of the victor
les of peace which would be hailed with the
acclamations of an almost unanimous people.
Mr. Deuster of Wisconsin said he should
vote for the bill and urged Congress to stamp
this threatening danger out of existence before
it grew large enough to require the most seri-
GUS measures for its suppression
Mr.. Guenther of Wisconsin advocated the
bill.
Mr.. Moore of Tennessee thought it was his
patriotic duty to vote against the bill.
Mr.. Berry of California advocated the bill.
Mr.. Williams of Wisconsin could not sup
port the bill as it violated the fundamental
tradition of the government.
Mr.. Skinner of New York considered the bill
I'M American and unjust.
Mr.. Brumm of Penns, lvania supported the
bill, quoting the Bible .'Give not that which is
holy to the dogs"
Mr.. Flower Of New York supported the bill
and said he should vote for it.
