In 1873 the Council passed resolutions
condemnmg rOund-dancing, and request
ing the ministers TO use every effort to ar
rest il by admonition and discipline; that
these resolutions arc disregarded by some,

The resolutions declare against all laws

ioas-Cattie Diseases--The Case Of Wallace
vs.. Mckinley.
IFrom Oar REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON. ID. c., May 2l.-Thcre Is
nearly months work for the House on
the remaining general appropriation bills,
besides several Of the same class OF bills
that are in the hands OF conference COM
mittees. IL Is expected by the Democratic
leaders that very little other important
business viii be disposed of before the
close OF the session.
Mr.. Carlisle and Mr.. Randall think the
session may close about the LIST OF July,
but some other experienced congressman
expect that the end win come shout the
middle oi July. Senator Cockrell saws Il
is more Likely 10 be August LIST. The ele-
ment Of uncertainty in forming a judg-
ment is the controversy between the Senate
and the House with respect TO some OF the
appropriation bills.
BUREAU OF ANIMAL. INDUSTRY.
The conference committee has agreed To
adopt the Senate amendments 10 the bill TO
create bureau of animal industry and
prevent the spread of contagious diseases
among domestic animals. Thus makes IL
certain that the bill will become n law.
In its present form the bill is about the
same aS the original draft by Colonel
Hatch, Of Missouri, before amended by the
Committee on Agriculture. II makes no
provision for payment for diseased cattle
that may be slaughtered to prevent the
spread Of The disease, but leaves the States
10 pay for them or the owner 10 bear the
loss.
WALLACE VS.. M'KINLEY.
Mr.. HUrd. Of Ohio. tells me that he has
carefully examined the testimony IN the
contest of Wallace (DemOcrar against Me-
Kinley (Repuhhcau), of Ohio, and having
become SStisiiedthat Mckinley was elected.
he will speak and vote in his favor when
the case is called up next week. II is TN
derStood that q number OF Democrats will
follow'the example OF Mr.. Hurd, and il is
doubtful whether Wallace or Mckinley
will have a majority when the vote is
taken in the House. The chances are be-
lieyed to be IN favor OF Mckinley. His
friends are working induStriOuSly among the
free.trade Democrats, and base their hopes
OF recruits from among them chiefly upon
the theory that the appropriately OF Mr.,
Converse, OF Ohio, who moved TO strike
out the enacting clause Of the Morrison
bin, will prevent the more extreme men
from following the lead OF Converse in Ia
yor Oi Wallace. 1t is certain that their
calculations are not without foundation,
but how far the holters will be willing 10
go at the critical moment is questionable.
Large numbers Of visitors are in the city
today attending the ceremonies OF unvell-
ing the fine statue Of Martin Luther.

Disappearance of an Oil-SpeculatOr.


WASHINGTON, MAY 21.-GeOrge III. Lewis,
broker OF this city, who is understood to
have been doing an extensive speculative
business in petroleum, and to have had
among his customers a large number OF
Government clerks, disappeared from his
place OF business last Monday morning,
and has not since been seen there. The
Ecening Star tonight, in an article en-
titled ALARM Among Oil-SpeculatOrs,"
says that his prolonged absence in cOnnec-
ton with the nature and extent OF the
business done by him have given rise to
many ugly reports.
He began business here last June, and
has conducted what is known as a "syn-
dictate" business. Customers left margins
with him, but he bought and sold at his
own discretion, accounting to the custom
er for profits when accounts were asked.
The success OF his speculations have been
so wonderful that it has gwen rise to talk
since his departure from the city. He has
paid profits on the deposits left with him
amounting in many cases to more than 80
per cent. a month. Attracted by the re-
ports OF these phenomenal profits, many
persons have come forward with their mo-
ney, and it is estimated that he has in his
hands from 100000 to 100000 be-
longing to his customers. There are,
it is said, over five hundred persons in
volved as customers, including not only
businessmen of the city, but Department
clerks OF every grade. 1t appears that the
broker left on train for New York Mon
day morning, but got off at Philadelphia.
Some OF those most deeply interested eX-
press faith in the absent broker. The gen.
tleman mentioned. who is connected IN
business with the broker, has, it is stated,
made settlements out Of his personal funds
with more impOrtunate creditors so far as
his means have enabled him to do so, and
expresses the utmost confidence in the in
tegrity Of the absent broker, who has, it is
said. on former occasions INDUCED In
sprees at inopportune times.
