A Noisy Wrangle.

Mr. Richardson of New York argued
against the bill, During his speech he was
interrupted by Mr.. Huchins, and a noisy,
humorous and uninteigiblc discussion arose
as to the benefits New York received from
the federal treasury. The committee was in
an uproar, nearly every member being on his
feet and two or three dozen were addressing
the chair at the same time. The members
kept up running debate and cheers of ap-
pause and laughter which rendered the di-
rections OF the chair inandibe. The COM
mlt'ee finally rose, but the confusion contin-
ued.
MIR. Page moved to limit the debate to two
hours.
MIR. Dwight moved to make it three.
A note being taken, Mr.. Van Voorhees,
raised the point that there was no quorum
lie voted with good deal of vehemence.
MIR. Holman suggested II compromise on
p hours.
81 will notImake any arrangement with Mr.
Van Voorhees," replied Mr., Page.
MIR. Van voorhees, shouted, amid cries of
ION sit down." mo mule driver or stage
driver from California can crack his whip
over this house"
Mr. Dwights motion was lost and the
compromise Of hours was agreed to.
Mr. Hlscock suggested that those I'd hours
be consumed tonight, but there was storm
OF objections. Mr., Cox stating his unwil-
lingness to address "a pack of wolves here
tonight"
After another noisy ,wrangle the House
went into committee, but in a few moments
rose and adjourned.
The report of the commission appointed to
consider the subject of selling some of the
navy yards was submitted to the House to-
day. The commissioners say that they have
not had time to collect data and can not
make full report or recommend the sale OF

PENDING QUESTION IN BEGARD TO MAIL Con-
TRAcTs.-The First Controller of the Treasury has
been called upon to decide an interesting question
in relation to mail contracts The act OF 1878 au-
thorizes mail contractors TO sub-et their contracts
and requires payment to be made by the govern
ment to the sub-contractor for his COMPENSATION
The statute also requires the subc0ntractor to nle
his sub-contract with the Third Assistant Post
master General In order to secure payment The
Postmaster General has made regulation that q
subcontractor can only be paid for the services OF
the quarter, when he nles his sub
contract before the end OF the quar-
ter. The act Of May 4th. 1882 provides
thct when contractor has several contracts and
fOreitureS all assessed against him for failure to
comply with any one or more OF his contracts, that
the pay shall be withheld from him on sufficient
number OF them to meet the assessments for de.
nnquencies. In several hundred cases the sub.
contractors did not file their sub-contracts until
after the expiration OF the quarter which they
had rendered service. The Sixth Auditor in one
case, has withheld from sub-eontractor cOmpen-
sat0n for his service for quarter, for the reason
that, while he had fully performed the service,
the original contractor had failed to
perform the service under another
contract The sub-contractor appealed from this
dec! sion on the ground that inasmuch as he had
nled his sub-contract before payment had been
made 20 the original contractor, although IL was
after the expiration OF the quarter, he was clearly
entitled TO the sub-cOntract price. The first con
trOter viii give decision on the question In a
few days

To the Editor Of THE EvENING STAR:
In Tomlinsons Cyclopedia OF Useful Arts, Lon
don and New York, 1852, it is stated, on the SUBJ
Ject OF fire escapes, that in Eiinburg, where the
houses are very lofty, the firemen use a cross-bow
shooting ounce leaden bullet, attached to a
cord 100 feet long. The bullet and cord thrown
over a house, and serve to draw up a stronger
cord, and this raises chain ladder or escape.
