Frank Hurd to Fight McKinley's Battle.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Mckinley
Wallace Ohio contested election case is
to come up in the House on Monday. 1t
is understood that Frank Hurd win de-
fend the claim Of Mckinley, his greatest
opponent, on the Ways and Means Com
mittee, against the claim of Wallace, the
Democratic contestant. The reason for
this action is found in the fact that Wal
lace declared on the stump that he was a
better protectiOnist than Mckinley. Wal
lace is looked upon also as a protege of
Converse, who moved to strike out the
enacting clause of the Morrison bill.
Tariff reformers say that they prefer a
Republican protectionist to increasing
the prOtectiOnist element in their own
party. Morrison and other reformers will
add their voice and vote to Hurd's, and
Mckinley may retain his seat despite the
adverse report of the Elections Commit

More Senate Amendments Non-Con-
CURED in-Judiciary Bills on the
Tapis.
WAsHIGTON, May 17.-In the House to-
day, on motion of Mr.. Ellis, of Louisiana,
the Senate amendments to the Indian ap-
preparation bill were non-concurred in.
By previous order of the House this day
was set apart for the consideration of bills
presented by the Committee ON Judiciary,
and Mr.. Tucker, of Virginia, reported
from that committee a bill to regulate the
effect OF judgments and DEGREES of the
United states Courts in the several States.
1t was referred to the House calendar.
Also memorial from E. b. Wheelock
praying for an investigation of the legal
matters involved in the proposed forfeit
ure OF the land grant to the New Orleans,
Baton Rouge and Nicksburg Railroad Com
pany. 1t was put on the House calendar.
On motion of Mr.. Tucker. bills were passed
removing the political disabilities of Henry
Newman, VIM. II. Parker and Robert d.
of Alabama.
At every step the Committee on Judiciary
was antagonized by the Committee on Public
Lands, which desired to call up the Oregon
Central forfeiture BILL but the former was
successful, and at 2:l5 O'Clock the House went
INTO committee of the whole. with Mr.. DOrs-
helmer in the chair. on the Senate bill extend
ing until December 81, 1884, the duration OF
the Court of Commissioners of Alabama
Claims.
Mr.. Reed, of Maine, explained that, besides
extending the time proposed, as soon as
the court shall have ascertained that first
class claimants can be paid without exhaust
ing the fund which was appropriated by the
act OF 1882, the court shall make such certif-
Gates to the Secretary of the Treasury as will
enable him to pay first-class claims.
On motion OF Mr.. Reed, an amendment was
adopted changing the term OF extension to
December 81, 1885. The committee then rose
and the bill was passed.
Mr.. Tucker then called up the bill to change
the eastern and northern judicial districts Of
Texas and to attach part of the Indian Ter
fltOry 20 those districts. After some discus
sion the bill was passed, as was also the bill
changing the time of holding the District and
Circuit Courts in the Northern district OF
Georgia.
A family quarrel arose in the Missouri dele
CATION upon the bill to amend the act dividing
the State of Missouri into two Judicial dis
tricts, and to divide the Eastern and Western
districts thereof into divisions, and to pre-
scribe the times and places for holding courts
therein. The discussion of the bill occupied
the remainder of the days session. The mat
ter was finally cut off by point of no quorum
raised against vote upon an amendment,
and the House adjourned.

NEW ENGLAND's EDITORS.

Their Arrival In Atlanta Delayed by a
Railroad Smash I'd.
ATLANTA, May ia special passen-
ger train on the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia Railroad, which was to have
arrived here at an early hour this morn
ing with the party of New England edi-
tors, did not reach here until tonight,
owing TO a serious accident on the road,
two miles north of Rome. This was the
wrecking Of train loaded with mules,
horses, sheep, cattle and hogs, which
occurred last night about O'Clock. The
freight train parted while going down
grade. The engineer, not knowing this,
shut off steam TO roll down hill, and the
rear portion of the train ran
into the front section. Several
caFs were badly wrecked. The
informant of the News states that for
nearly a hundred yards alongside the
track could be seen dead and crippled
animals, while a few apparently not in
jured were walking about among the
dead and dying. The special train, upon
reaching the scene, found the right-Of-
way impossible and was ordered back to
Cleveland. As soon as the track was
cleared the train left Cleveland, coming
through to Atlanta. Tonight the guests
were given a reception at the Executive
mansion.

ATLANTA's BROKEN BANKER.
DePOsitOrs Offering to Sell Their Claims

DepOsitOrs Offering to Sell Their Claims
for so Cents on the Dollar.
ATLANTA, GA, May 17.-Although this
was payday with the manufacturers who
had to draw large quantities of money out
of the banks to liquidate their pay-rOlls,
there was no unusual run on the banks.
Confidence seemed to be restored, and de-
posits were made as usual. The business
men did all in their power 70 aIlay any
excitement that might force itself to the
surface by reason of Mr.. James failure.
The banks made arrangements to meet
runs if they came, and gave it out pub
icly that they were prepared for any
emergency that might arise. The emer-
gency, however, never came.
Nothing has been heard from the courier
who left Atlanta last night in search Of
Judge Samuel Harris to secure from him,
if possible, an order setting aside Mr..
James assignment. Judge Hillyer, cOun-
sci for Mr.. James, tells the News cores
pOndent that his client speaks hopefully
Of the outcome, and says that with his
assets, his energy and health, he will live
to pay every depositOr dollar for dollar.
Some Of his creditors feel blRe, and others
are talking pretty roughly about Mr..
James and his failure, while a small pro-
portion of the depOsitOrs think that Mr..
James is honest and will do what
he saws. As evidence of the fact
that the failure is considered a bad one
depOsitOrs are offering TO sell out at 80
cents on the dollar. Few of the creditors
think that 80 cents on the dollar will be
realized. Some Of the most prominent
depOsitOrs speak of organizing a company
to force a sale of Mr.. James bank block
to 5000, coo or else bid it in and rely on the
rent paying the interest on their deposits
until the property can be sold for good
price. There is much suffering among
the poorer classes of both races who had
their all in Mr.. James keeping. Mr..
James was on the street this morning look
ing much worried. The assignee will,
in all probability, make a report
Monday. 1t is stated that Mr.. James re-
ceiyed a telegram from New York to-day
advising him that unless he deposited
there the sum of $134,000 as margin his
stocks would be sold. He says that though
he might be sold out there it would not in
crease materially the aggregate amount

Names Plumed Knight Represented as
Becoming DespOndent of Winning.
WASHINGTON, May 17.-Senator John
Sherman went over to Philadelphia to-
day to see Senator Don Cameron. who re-
turns from Europe tomorrow. Thereby
is hung this tale: Blaine having concluded
that he cannot be nominated, or that,
if nominated, he cannot be elected, has
determined to support Sherman. The lat
ter, encouraged, is seeking additional
strength. He is given to understand that
Don Cameron is for Logan, with Arthur
for second choice and with strong feel
ing against Blaine. He will ask Don
Cameron whether he cannot substitute
Sherman for Arthur as his second choice,
knowing very well that Don Cameron's
first choice cannot be nominated How
ever this may be, the Arthur men are
more confident and the Blaine men more
uneasy than for weeks past.
HORACE WHITES FAITH IN ARTHUR.
Horace White said to-day that Presi-
dent Arthur would poll more votes IN
New York than any Republican who
could be nominated.

left their reservations because of the
frightful amount of disease prevalent.
Assistant Commander Reid and Col.
Irvine are there to talk with the chiefs

tions, but the latter absolutely refuse, and
trouble is feared. A dispatch from

Riel, the leader of the Red river rebellion
in 1871, in regard to their grievances.
They want to be treated the same as the

of Public Worship, declared.that the gov
ernment adhered to the amendment to the
ecclesiastical laws adopted in 1885,
This, in his opinion, afforded basis for a
further compromise. The government
would be willing to take further action as
soon as it had a guarantee that tangible
results would be obtained. The motion
was rejected by vote of 1853 to 116. The
UltramOntanes, Poles and seven Conser-
vatives voted for the motion.
