 for action. There are also one hundred and i fifty on the House calendar proper and two
 hundred which have been referred to the comm ,ttee of the whole on the state of the ! Union, and are ready for action. Then there 1 are some three hundred and fifty bills which have been favorably reported from commit l tees, but seem to stand a better show. Among She bills awaiting action are humber of great importance, but few which will be reached this session.
 The Committee on Ways and Means will endeavor to suspend the rules and pass the knit goods bill to- tomorrow, notwithstanding the failure of the House to do so on Kelly's individual motion two weeks ago.
 The President authorizes denfA of all stories as to his summer plans. Thus far he has made none. He has no intention of To- eating anywhere for any lsngth of time, but hopes to make short trip usual to the Canada fishing grounds. He moves to the Soldiers Home next week.
 Gulteau spent the day quietly to-day. The weather has been exceedingly hot. His cell is well ventilated and receiving breeze from the river is quite cool. He complains some- what of the heat however, and appears de pressed at times He looks forward with much anxiety to the decision of Justice Bradley to morrow on Reeds motion for habeaS SnIop ttad to IraaI It is evident, however, that he has little hope and saw nobody to-day, the warden having given strict orders to permit one to see him. Neither his counsel or his spiritual ad- wiser, MT. Hicks visited him. Mir. Hicks will probably call on him again on Monday, as it is his habit to Guiteau every day.
 A Lawyers Misfortune-A Sad Phase of
 the Christiancy Case.
 WASHINGTON, June 1S.-Mr. Edward Chase IngersoL, one of the counsel for ex-Senator Christiancy in the divorce suit, has for three or four days exhibited symptoms of insanity. These did not assume any definite or espe- cially noticeable form until yesterday. He is laboring under the belief that he has sud- denly gained great wealth. One statement is that he has patent out on which he is going to realize $1,OO0, 900, and was to be paid $1O0, 900 this week for the idea alone en- braced in the patent and before models were prepared He thinks he should live in style commensurate with his suddenly ac' quired afluence, and was busy yesterday and this morning purchasing goods of various descriptions to conform to his supposed change of condition in life. He said he was going to build fine white marble mansion superior to anything ever seen here, the in terior to be finished in the richest style that money could produce. Fine furniture to match all this was to be added, and hand some horses and carriages for family use. This morning when he met friends in, the street he told them that he had made $5, ,OOO,- GOO yesterday by five minutes brain work and would soon be Crossus. He reached his office between five and six o'clock this morning and declared that the fur niture and bookcases were unbecoming man in his station, and said he would dis pose of them immediately. Calling in two men, he directed them to lift all the books out of the eases, ana to have all the furniture carried out inSo the street. He told the men to take the furniture to an auction house and dispose of 1t at any price, remarklng that in twenty minutes he would have the office re- furnished in elegant style that he had ordered maple and rosewood furniture, in- laid with pearl and bookcases lined with satin and velvet. He wished the old furni- ture quickly removed so that it would not disgrace the new by contrast. His law partner being informed that the office furni- ture had been set out on the sidewalk went there and in a brief conversation with Mr. Ingersoll discovered the state of the latters mind. He temporarily persuaded him to let the furniture be replaced in the office. Mir. Ingersoll's wife shortly after ward called, and through her influence he was induced to go home. Latei it was dis covered that he had purchased large num- Der of law books from a city dealer, select ing the most elegantly bound and costly works and had been negotiating for lot on which to build his mansion, besides making arrangements to purchase horses and car riages- Subsequently Mr. IngsrsoA was wis tied by physicians, who advised that he be sent to the asylum, and it is supposed that he will be taken there Monday. The cause of this sudden loss of reason cannot be ac- counted for. He has been Q close student of the law and prepared the revised code for the District of Columbia which is now before Congress for adoption. Mir. Ingersoll stands high attorney and gentleman, and for years has enjoyed lucrative practice, having been from the beginning one of the counsel for ex-Senator Christiancy in the divorce suit now pending between him and his wife
 The alteration is said to be only tempo rary. The physicians say he will recover.
