WASHINGTON, May est is very evident
now to the most obtuse mind that the remainder
of this session of Congress is to be a mechan-
lcally-conducted legislation machine The de,
feat of the Morrison bill took what there was of

ination or principle than now SO the Forty.
eighth Congress will figure in the history of
Congresses as the greatest cipher of the great
ciphers.
The majority organized the House and began
work under the impression that the paramount
work before it was the revision of the tariff Atthe
same time it proclaimed that with Republican
Senate and Republican executive no work of
Democrats could become law if it contained
as much politics i'll it as tariff does. Therefore
it can be said that this Congress organized to
do nothing and has faithfully kept step with
the music it had begun. 1t is folly to point to
the next session of this Congress for work. All
covered with chagrin and anger, the Democrats
will be in worse mood than now to do anything
that will help the people.

A further proof of the falsehood of the story

bouquet Spies said Mrs. Davis presented him at
the time of the capture of President Davis comes

concerning this bouquet could not have oc-

One of the Irregularities with Which the
Broken Firm Is Charged.
New YORK. May 28.-On April %, Lalor G. Co,
brokers' loaned Grant Il Ward 800 900 on collat-
eral negotiable at per cent year. The interest
was subsequently raised to per cent. On May
demand was made on Grant & Ward forre-
payment Of the loan, under the rules of the
Stock Exchange, and they were notified if they
did not pay by certain time Lalor & Co would
sell out the securities. The money was not paid,
and Lalor & Co sold all the securities but 1875
shares of the Marine National Bank Among
the securities sold were forty-three 81 600 bonds
of the New York, Chicago & - Louis railroad
When Lalor & Co. were about to deliver these
bonds they were served with notice that the
bonds belonged to the railroad company. Lalor
& Co. were proceeding to deliver them, when
the Stock Exchange decided the sale invalid by
reason of the notice given. They have ever
since held the bonds claiming there is a balance
due on the loan of over $34 900. The matter
was sent to a referee.
John B. Wilson was appointed to-day receiver
for the property of Ferdinand Ward, now in the
hands of the sheriff under attachments in favor
of the Marine Bank and JAS D. Fish The
property consists of real estate in New York

Probability .,at the Bill May Fail to Pass
House.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, May 28-It is not altogether
probable that there will be river and
harbor bill passed at this session of
Congress. Indeed, it is quite likely there
will be no river and harbor bill passed
until next session. This was demonstrated this
morning in the House, When Mr. Randall
called up the Legislative appropriation bill, Mr.
Willis, chairman of the river and harbor com
mittee, stated that it was highly important that
his bill should receive immediate consideration.
and Mr. Blanchard, from the same committee
said that unless il was considered instead of the
Legislative bill, and at once, it was not probable
that 1t would be considered this session. He i'm
plored the House not to kill the river and harbor
bill by refusing to take it up now but the House
seemed indifferent as to the fate of that bill for
it voted, bya majority of sixteen, to consider
the legislative bill. There are now but two
more appropriation bills in the House commit
tees, the sundry civil and the deficiency.

RECEIVERS FOR THE WABASH.
Action Intended to Protect the Company
Against Possible Foreclosure Suits.

CHICAGO, May PA bill asking for a receiver
for the Wabash railroad was filed in the United
States Court today, it being ancillary to a suit
begun at ST. Louis, yesterday, in which Solon
Humphreys and Thomas E. Tutt wereappointed
receivers in bonds of 100000. The ancilliary
bill is simply for the purpose of bringing that
portion of the road in Illinois under the same
jurisdiction The Daily News will say:
The system comprises s, 900 miles of road in Hi
nois, Iowa, Indiana Missouri, Ohio and Michigan,
and mortgage of $50, 100000 On its property is
held by the Central Trust Company, of New York. In
May, 1883, loan of $4,000. 900 was secured by
the Wabash, from the Mercantile Trust Company,
upon engines, stock and bonds, and last December
another mortgage was given the Iron Mountain road
for advances. The business of the system for
the past two years has been poor, and it has be
hind expenses $2,000,000. The floating in
debtedness amounts to over 1000 OO0 and many
suits being instituted against it. The company has
no means to meet the semiannual interest due June
L on the bonded debt, and present action is token
to escape foreclosure suits which the mortgagees
would institute should that default be made. The
object of the original suit is to keep alive the leases
which the road holds and keep the entire system in
operation, that all creditors may be protected. Re
ceivers will take entire control of the road operate
it for the benefit of creditors.
