7 'iAO EDITION,
Work In Congress.

The unfinished business in the U. s,
Senate tor to-day is the Utah bill. Sen
at0r HOar, who has 1t in charge, has
gone to Chicago, and has requested
Senator Ingalls, to take charge OF the
measure during his absence. 1t will be
called up each day, ard IL Senators
have formal speeches to make upon 1t
the opportun ity will be afforded. No
appropriation bills are ready for the
consideration of the Senate. So large
number of congressman are absent
that there is little prospect OF the
presence of voting quorum to dispose
of important measures in the House Of
Representatives before the end of this
week. The regular order for to- day is
the recognition of individual members
to offer motions for the passage of bills
under suspension Of the rules, but 1t Is
thought this privilege will be postpo-
ned until next Monday. If unanimous
consent for such postpouement be not
obtained, however, Mr. Hiscock will
try to secure the passage, under sus-
pension of the rules, of the bill author.
izing the withdrawal from distillery
warehouses, without tax, of alcohol and
other spirits 70 be used in industrial
pursuits. Mr.. Gotf will also endeavor
to have passed bill for the repeal OF
the tobacco tax" and the tax Oh 'he
dealers therein, and Mr.. Payson will
ask for the passage of his bill to prohib.
1t the enclosure Of public lands. Mr.
Eaton has given notice that he would
call up to-day the measures relating tol
the Presidential count and succession.
1t Is also said that there is disposition
on the part Of the Committee on Public |
Lands to push this week their bills pro-
viding for the forfeiture of various rail |
road land grants. The Appropriations
Committee expects TO report the Gene
raj Deficiency bill during the early |
part of this week.

EDITION,
At chicago,

The New York Tribune's correspon.
dent, under date Of June lst, from
Chicago, says: The delegates, with
few exceptions, are now on the ground,
and 1t is possible to tell more nearly
what the outcome will be. The leaders
have spent the day recasting their
previous calculations, listening to
reports and discussing the strong and
weak points in their canvass and ia.
king measures to improve the chances
Of their respective cand idates. The re-
suit tonight is still further addition
to the growing strength of James G.
Blaine. If the convention were to be
held tonight he would be the nominee.
ground are s.iffening the backs Of their
Southern delegates, and resorting to-
every conceivable dodge to divide the
Blaine vote in the large Republican
States. They are making no progress
in gaining votes for Arthur. He is
steadily losing. But the administra-
ton has given encouragement to the
friends of the dark horses, who see Op.
pOrtunities to gain votes for their men
because of the depression in the Arthur
ranks, and they are becoming encour-
aged to stick. In that there is possi-
BILE element of danger to Blaine; it may
change the result, but at this time there
is an increasing tide toward the Maine
His friends do not claim enough votes
to nominate him on the first ballot
Their figures are not materiallychangea
from previous ca culations for that bal |
lot. But they are sure of considerable |
additions on the second ballot, and un.
ess the Arthur men desert their candi |
late and attempt stampede toward "a
nan who will draw all the scattering
votes, Blaine will carry off the prize.
The following was sent at midnight
asst night, by A. X. Mcclure to the
Philadelphia Times
Arthur has perceptibly weakened to.
light. 1t is manifested by a growing
disposition to unite the Arthur, Ed.
nunds. Sherman and Logan forces
gainst Blaine, and Arthur men are
onspicuous in the as yet unorganized
Movement. The cause Of the weakeningl
( the Arthur men Is the decentralization
iaplayed in several of the Southern
e.egati0ns. Clayton, of Arkansas, has
renly deserted Arthur, and the charge
hat he las been reached in a CONNER
ial way, is likely 10 develop more Gu.
idlty among considerable numbe ofl
he Southern delegates.
The Arthur leaders speak confidently of
pairing oil breaks in their line but the
eneral Judgment at this hour is that Arthur
innot beat Blaine. II thst impression
lall be confirmed Tomorrow, as now seem.
robable, Arthur will be practically and
jsslbly formally out Of the race before a
illot is reached Unless the field elcmentsl
lall fail & co centrate on a new man, In

A Curious Accident.

The Dover Sentinel of Saturday says
A curious accident happened to Il. e.
Smith, a farmer living near Milford,
on Sunday last. He was sitting on hi.
front porch after supper, when two
small fiat owls perched in the trees
that form a grove in front OF his resi-.
dence. They commenced ia call one to
the other and Mr. Smith began to
initiate them. Tho dialogue was con.
tinued for little time and was closed
by one Of the owls flying unperceived
and striking Mr.. Smith in the left eye.
The eye is yet much intlamed. The
blow was sufficient to stagger Mr..
Smith.
