democrats and replaces it where it was be-

public buildings, Mr.. Singleton of Missouri
urging the congressional library bill, Mr..

of the whole on the state of the Union.
On motion of Mr.. Ellis. all prior bills were
set aside and the committee proceeded to the
consideration of the bill appropriating ST.
600, 900 for the celebration of the worlds

PORfY-BIGRTR CONGRESS.
First session.

WASHINGTON, MAY {

WAsHINeroN, Mays.
The House bill granting pensions to sol
diers of the Mexican war was reported favor
ably with an amendment providing that no
officer, enlisted man or widow should be en-
titled to the benefits of the act unless de-
pendent in whole or part on his or her labor
or assistance from other for support
The shipping bill was then taken up.
Mr.. Morgan said: As the shipping laws
stood it was greatly to the interests of ship
builders who became ship owners, and there
in was grert danger to American commerce
because by refusing to build ships for any
outside person, and by building only for
themselves, the ship builders could monopo-
lize the coast trade of the United States, in
which foreign ships were not permitted to
participate.
A vote was then taken on Mr.. McPher-
sons amendment cutting of the compensa-
tion for the return trip of ships which may
take out the L, S. mail. The amendment
was rejected-l7 TO 81.
Mr.. Morgan finally moved bis amendment
in modified form. Instead of duty on the
tonnage of ships the amendment as modified
proposes to admit to the American registry
ships built abroad on the payment of an ad-
valorem duty of 80 per cent, and such ships
shall be admitted to coastwise taade, but must
be owned by American citizens and must not
be encountered by liens or mortgages in favor
of sitizens or corporations of any foreign
country.
Mr.. Mcpherson moved to strike out the
last restriction; not agreed to.
After some discussion Mr.. Morgan with
drew his amendment till the House bill was
taken up.
motion of Mr. Vest to strike out 81 and
insert 20 cents as the maximum price for
MALL service was lost
Mr.. Vest moved his amendment which was
modified so as to make the officers accounta-
BILE to the secretary of the treasury for their
receipts and expenses, though having appoint
ment in the circuit court.
MIR. Mcpherson moved to strike out the
section providing for foreign mail pay lost.
This completed the consideration of the
bill in the committee of the whole.
On motion of Mr.. Frye the House bill was
taken from the table and with but slight
debate was amended to correspond with the
bill Just agreed to.
Mr.. Dawes moved an amendment to admit
free of duty materials made abroad which
should be used for the building in the United
States of ships exclusively for foreign trade
laid on the table.
Mr.. Morgan re-offered the amendment he
had Withdrawn, admitting foreign built ships
to the American registry under duty of 80
per cent. advalorem; this was lost.
The House bill as amended was passed.
Mr.. Frye moved for an appointment of
committee of conference.
Ma. Harris raised point of order that this
was not in accordance with parliamentary
usage.
The chair overruled the point of order and
MIR. Beck appealed from the decision.
Considerable debate followed, and Mr..
Frye concluded to let the matter go over till
morning, and consider what was best to be
done. He might ask unanimous consent for
a call of yeas and nays in the morning.
Adjourned.

4 Curious Case.

On going into the city hall about 10 o'clock
last evening hard looking American citizen was
to be seen being held up by one policeman while
another officer was 'going through the citizen.
The fellows hair was cut short, his legs were SO
slimpsy that he could not stand up straight, and
all his limbs had the appearance of absolute use
lessness. When he had been searched he was
put in cell and the key was turned upon him.
Around this short haired timber gentleman
fingers a little story.
About nine o clock last evening he was found
in the second story hall in the building ON the
southeast corner Of Eighth and Minnesota streets
He was first seen by gentleman who was in the
hail. and walking up to the gentleman he planted
a blow right square in his face without The least
warning or ceremony, and instantly started to
run for the end of the hall with the gentleman
after him. In another instant he had jumped
squarely through the window, and down
he went two stories, striking partly
on his shoulders. The fellow was
picked up, taken to the central fire hall, where
he appeared to be about, or quite killed. He
lay quiet and had the appearance of being seri-
ously injured. The patrol wagon was sent for
and the supposed unfortunate man was taken
ON his way to the city hospital. After he had
been taken out about half way to the hospital the
fellow suddenly jumped up from the stretchel
on which he lay, and made lunge towards the
officer which the latter succeeded in avoiding
Finding that the prisoner was still
an able boaied man and that he was not bound
for the land of spirits just at the present time,
the wagon was turned around and the gentleman
was finally landed in the city hall where he was
searched and locked up. He is evidently hard
gentleman and the officer says that foy dead
man he is a very active fellow

CHICAGO, July 2.-Many Of the pedestrians in
tending to participate in the six day go-as-you-
please match have already arrived in this city,
and the promoter Of the tourna-
ment, Mr.. d. O'Leary, is determined
that their wants shall be attended to
not only while on the track, but previous to the
commencement of the race. The track upon
which the men will travel will be laid i'm
mediately, SO the competitors will be
afforded an opportunity of taking the necessary
exercise before starting in the contest.
Betting on the probable result of the match
has commenced, the risks assumed by book max
ers being as follows: 2 to against Vint, to
against Hart, to 2 against Noremac 5 to 2
against Panchot, 6 to against Burns, TO g
against Schock, to 2 against Cooper, to 2
against Krohne, 0 to 2 against Dooley,
10 to 2 against Johnson, IL to
against Kitey and 10 to against Nolan.
AS already announced in these columns the
word "go'' win be given at five minutes past IL
O'Clock on Sunday night. The race promises to
be well contested one, as many Of the competi-
tors have already distinguished themselves as
long distance walkers, foremost among them be-
ing Vint, who has a record of $50 miles in
few hours less than six consecutive days. John
Hughes, with a record of 568 miles and a living
wonder for twenty-four hour performances is
in this city and looms up as one of the unknowns
about whom SO much speculation has been in
dulged in by the book makers.

R0ADLYS BOOM.
Some of the Inside History OF the
''Enquirer's" Enthusiasm in
His Behalf.
Especial Telegram to the Globe

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CINCINNATI, July 2.-There is little donbt that
one of the objects of the Hoadly boom is the de-
feat of Thurman by dividing his strength in Ohio.
The Enquirer paid no attention to Hoadly till
after the state convention, which broke McLean's
slate and sent Ward and Thurman to Chicago.
When the Thurman boom sprang up everywhere
like mushr ooms. Such growths did not suit
Mclean and Payne and the Hoadly boom was
ltarted. There is no doubt Hoadly is in earn
est. He saw Tilden few days ago and since his
return has been busy. He has just held q
conference here with delegates and local leaders
to further his boom, at which he displayed such
longing that one of his friends could not help
remarking afterwards that ssHoadey is very
anxious to be president
Hoadley has been DESTROYS of the peoples I'M
derstandng that he was Tilden's heir, and the
statement has baen repeatedly made is true that
Tilden had such testamentary wishes year ago,
but Hoadley's lack of discretion Turing the cam
paign of 1883 lost him Tilden's regard and his
name as legatee was scratched out
One of the singular incidents at present is the
fact that the Enquirer booms Hoadly, while Nc
Leans other paper, the Sun, is wholly and en-
Enthusiastically for Blaine, and whacks Hotdly
without stint This is merely part Of the
play of the coal oil leaders. They are playing
Hoadly for their own purposes, and will throw
him overload when it suits them, as thcy have
already done once before.
