WASHINGTON, d. G., April 27.--In the
House tomorrow, alter the usual call oi
States lor the introduction OF new bills, the
Committee on the District 'oi Columbia
will be entitled to the floor. Continued
consideration will be asked for the bill pro.
yidiug free bridge across the Potomac
which was left as unfinished businee7 at
the I'D djournment on the l4.h inst.
The friends OF the tariff expect Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday will be devoted
to the discussion oil that measure. The
Appropriations Committee may, however,
ask for the consideration Of the District OF
Columbia and consular and diplomatic
appropriation bills, both OF which have
been reported. Friday will be devoted TO
the discussion OF private bills. The bill 10
amend an "act 10 execute certain treaty
stipu!ations relating to tho Chinese" has
been made the special order for Saturday.
The unfinished business in the Senate is
the pleuro'pueumonia bill. Senator
Plumb hasgiyen notice he will ask the Sen.
ate TO vote upon 1t before adjournment to.
morrow.
Tho next measure in order, the only spe.
cial order on the calendar, is the Senate
shipping bill. This measure has been de-
layed to await the action OF the House on
Dingley's bill. 1t was the purpose OF the
friends Of the Senate bill, in cass the House
sentthem the Dingley bill in form which
me: their approval, 10 move its substilu.
tion in the Senate for their own. The
adoption Of the free shipping amendment
by the House has, It is understood, de.
ieated this purpose. and it is now probable
that Senator Frye will ask tho Senate to
proceed 10 discussion Of the Senate bill es
soon as tho pleuro.pneumonia bill is out
OF the way. 7s ..ssr,
-1tia the intention OF Senator IIoar to ask
consideration OF the bill in relation to
bigamy, better known as the Mormon bill,
as soon az the shipping bill is disposed Of.
Matters oil general legislation will probably
be displaced for u day or two during the
week by the Indian Appropriation bill,
and it ia possible the Agricultural bill or
Pension bill may be reported in season for
action before the end OF the week.

no would favor them with an article con-
tanning his opinion OF the late Eall's public

neCtions, abunuant income for all lc2iti.
mate needs and Of HIGH promise in social
and political circles. His pr sion for play
was developed in fashionable West End
club. and his lorso3 were for long time
concealed by au elaborate system OF by.
pothecating everything which he could use
as collateral, obtaining short loans from il
innate friends and keeping up bis town
and country establishments on credit.
When the crash came the young man
simply fled before the storm, leaving his
creditors delrauded, his home broken up
aud banishing himself to life OF exile,
with the alternative OF arres. and inter.
minable Imprisonment il no ever ventures
to return to England.
