WASHINGTON, G., THURSDAY

which the bill was passed. All of the appropria-
ton bills have now gone through the House
but several are vet in the hands of conference
committees of both Houses.
MONDAY, March I'm the Senate Mr. AID
rich offered the following joint resolution,
which was laid on the table:
Resolved etc. That the President Of the United
States is hereby requested to enter into negotia-
tons with the States of the Latin Union and such
other foreign powers as he shall deem advisable,
with the purpose of securing such treaties with
them as shall bind the nations agreeing thereto to
open their respective mints to the free coinage of
silver with full legatender power at such uniform
ratio TO gold a. shall be agreed upon,
The consideration of the Sundry Civil Bill
was then resumed. On reaching the New Or
leans Exposition item some debate arose. The
House was for the purpose of aiding" the
Exposition 100000. The Senate comm ttee
increased the amount to $780, 200, but made it
"fOr final aid"
Mcssrs. Blair, Mitchell. and Allison supported
the appropriation, and Mr. Sewell opposed it.
At five minutes before six the Senate went
into executive session, and when the doors
were opened took recess until O'clock.
After recess another brief executive session
was held, after which conference report on the
Legislative. Executive, and Judicial Appro-
priatiOu Bill was agreed to.
The consideration OF the New Orleans Expo
sition amendment to the Sundry Civil Bill, in
creasing the appropriation to 100000 was re-
sumed, aud after q long debate theamendment
was adopted--yeas 40, nays Is.
In the House Mr.. Mills moved to suspend
the rules and adopt resolution THAT the
committee appointed to arrange the inaugural
ceremonies having declined to give to the Rep
resontatives in Congress their proper place, We
will decline to take any part in said ceremonies
at the Capitol"
The resolution, said Mr.. Mills, reflected the
sentiment of a large number of members.
After a warm debate, in which members
freely expressed the opinion that tho Senate
assumed a superiority over the House TO which
it was not entitled, the motion to suspend the
rules was lost
The House was in session nearly all night.

the following December.
THE PENNSYLVANIA MILITIA.
While the fancy military organizations IN

their opulenCe of color and richness OF trap
pings. the most imposing part OF the parade
was the magnificent body of Pennsylvania
militia, nearly 5000 strong. The men wore
the simple uniform Of the United States serV-
ice, which, with its business aspect ana Inc

GEN. SWANS SENTENCE.
There is much adverse comment upon tire
very absurd sentence Of Brighten. d. q.
Swain, Judge Acknowledgement Of the Army,
who has been on trial here by cOuTt-martjal for
three months past. He was sentenced to sus-
pension from rank and duty on half pay for II
years. 1t is the universal feeling that If he
deserved so severe q sentence, including the
forfeiture Of half pay for y years. aggregating
$4,000. he should have been dismissed from
the Army and not put on pension for so long
time, without being permitted to render the
Government any equivalent for his $4,000
year, even if he were disposed to do so. But
the sentence has been approved by the Presi-
dent and ordered to be carried into effect.

A Prescribed Race.

kilograms from Tangier say that a crowd
of Jewish refugees from Denmat, who had
been driven from their homes, have arrived
their, and have presented to the foreign
consuls memorial, stating that the Gov
ernor instigated the police to rob their
warehouses and shops, and then baetina-
doed and imprisoned them in fetid dun
geons, afterwards taking ransom for their
liberation. 1t is alleged that the American
Consul at Tangier sent letter to the Sui
tan Of Morocco, asking that the Governor
be removed. The Grand Vizier replied
charging the Jews with fomenting rebel
lion, and stated that a popular outbreak and
massacre Of the Jews was threatened. Earl
Granville has ordered the British Minis
ter at Tangier to demonstrate with the Sui
tan.

Native Outbreak in West Africa.

Commander Knorr, of the German
squadron on the west coast Of Africa, tele-
graphs that the corvettes Olga and Bis
,narck arrived at Camerooms, on Decem-
Der 18th, and landed $50 men and four
guns, because the natives of Hickorytown
and Fosstown had expelled King Bell, and
threatened the merchants. They were 60
ing to burn Belltown. The expedition en-
tered Hickorytown with little resistance,
and then attacked Belltown to rescue the
German agent, ,.Hars4P Pantaaius. The troape
landed at this point ander a heavy fire, and
Immediately stormed the hill. One man
was killed and several wounded. Sixty
men held the plateau for two hours against
400 men, firing from the brush. When
support arrived they stormed and burned
Fosstown. The natives meanwhile mur,
dered Herr Pantanius. Subsequent to
these engagements the cruisers bombarded
Hickorytown. No further outbreak has
occurred.

MRS. GAINES TWO WILLS.
The Famous Female Litigant Probably
| Bequeaths = Lawsuit.

Attorneys representing Mrs. Maria Per-
kins, wife of w. r. Evans, have opened
the succession of Myra Clark Gaines, and
offered in New Orleans for probate will
dated January 8, 1885, naming Mrs. Evans
as administra}rix of her estate. Mrs. Gaines
leaves property in Louisiana and Washing
ton City. This will, the Clerk said, was in
Mrs. Gaines handwriting. Soon after the
above proceedings an attorney appeared in
court with another will, naming William
H. Wilder and James Y. Christmas as ex-
ecutors. These parties were astonished to
hear that succession had already been
opened, and asserted that Mrs. Gaines could
not write on January St!', being too i'll, but
they offered, dated January 5, 1855, is in
noucnfafiue form, under private signature
(her markl in the presence of FIVE we'll
known citizens, who signed as witnesses.
After making few bequests to others, she
wills her estate equally TO her six grand
children.

THE COUNCIL OF IDAHO.
The Election Law-Isill for Re-AppOrtion-
ment.

The Council Of the Idaho Legislative
Assembly has passed the bill amending
the election law. The bill prescrioes strong
anti Mormon oaths for voters at the vari-
Gus elections in the Territory. 1t is mas
terly production, and reflects great credit
upon its author, Hon. H. w. Smith, who
is Chairman of the Judiciary Committee
and the recognized leader Of the Council.
Mr.. Smith is an able young lawyer, scarce
ly 80 years Of age, and 10 him especially is
the Territory indebted for this much-need-
ed legislation against Mormons. The bills
introduced by him and the eloquent speech
he delivered in the Council in their sup
port have caused Satanic hate on the part
of the Mormons and their Democratic
sy,npathizers for this gentleman. Mr..
Smith will not be unknown in the future
politics Of Idaho Territory, neither will he
go unrewarded for his course during the
last campaign and the present session Of
Legislature.
The re-apportionment of the. Territory
will be made with view 10 restrict the
representation of Mormons. No Mormon
county will be classified with an anti Nor
mon county in the election of Joint Rep
resentative.

A STOLEN CORPSE.
Excitement Among Louisville 1srael1tes
Over the Disappearance of the Body
of One of Their Creed.

There is much excitement in Hebrew
circles in Louisville, KY, over the sudden
death and mysterious disappearance of the
body of Morris Goldsticker, young Is
raelite, who went to that city from New
Orleans about d year ago. When he ar
rived he had about $1,000, which he in
vested in business, and lost i'll few
months. He then accepted position
with Market-str rag dealer, where he
has since been engaged. For some years
Goldsticker has been troubled with an alb
cess, which formed in the left ear, and last
week became painful. He was forced to
go to the city hospital for treatment, and
was admitted on December 3Ist. Exam
ination disclosed the fact that the abces>
had eaten through the ear to the brain,
and was liable to burst and cause death a,
any moment. He was told OF his condi-
ton, and expressed desire to See his
mother, who, he said, lived in New Dr.
lerns, but failed to give her address. or the
hospital authorities forgot it.
New Years evening he died. AS he had
no friends or relatives the authorities then
turned the body over to the city under
taker for burial in the Potter's field. At
terward some prominent Jews got news OF
the occurrence, and we're horrified to think
that one of their creed had died, suffering
and unbefriended, and had been buried
without the rites of their church. They a!
once began an investigation. A commit
tee, headed by L. Marx, prominent hide
dealer, obtained permit to exhu'ne the
body, and renter it according to the Gus
toms of the dead mans people. Imagine
their horror whom they opened the grave
| and found an empty coffin. The news
spread rapidly among the Jews, and caused
much indignation. Members express

what became of the body, aud who IS te
blame for the outrage. They have aP
pointed committee TO give it thorough
examination. 1t is understood that
search warrant has been taken out with
view to going through all the vats of th'
dissecting rooms of the various medica
colleges of the city. The theory advanced
that the body was never buried, but sent +

DROPPED DEAD.
The Sudden Ending of the Career of an
Ex-Vice President.

Ex-Vice President Schuyler Coltax
dropped dead in the Omaha depot at Man
kato, Mimi, at 1 20 o'clock, January 18th.
He arrived over the Chicago, Milwaukee
and St Paul Railroad, and walked over to
the Omaha depot. He took off his over
coat, sat down and almost Immediately fell
over and expired. His death is supposed
to have been caused by heart disease.
Mr.. Colfax walked to the Omaha depot,
distance of three quarters OF mile, with
tho thermometer 80 degrees below zero.
After arriving at the depot he lived only
about FIVE minutes. 1t is supposed that the
extreme subsequent heat and over exertion
caused stoppage of the flow Of blood to
the heart.
The Odd Fellows of Mankato took
charge of the remains, and 4 telegram was
Immediately sent to Studebaker, South
Bend, Indiana. The body was removed to
the residence OF DR.. Harrington, and pre-
pared for shipment. A telegram was re-
ceived from Studebaker, ordering the re-
mains sent to South Bend, and the body
left, accompanied by l.. P. Hunt and l..
Patterson, two eminent Odd Fellows, via
the Chicago and Northwestern road, at II
o'clock that night.
The news of the death Of Mr.. Colfax
created the greatest CONSERVATION in South
| Bend, where he passed his life from boy
hood, and where he was so highly honored
and respected. He left there on Monday
morning at 7 o'clock. A note to the editor
of the South Bend Tribune from him sale
that he was compelled to leave that morn
ing to fill eli; egements in Northern Iowa
which were made months ago. He con
cluded his note as follows: II feel regret
tul that have to be away from the funera
of my lifelong friend, Mr.. Burroughs, to'
| there has been the war.nest friendship be
tween us for over forty years"
1t would seem that Mr.. Colfax had pre-

ARMY SALvATIONISTS.
Enthusiasm Rivaling Oriental Fanatics


Doubters of the progress Of the Saliva
ton Army should have been in Exter Hail.
London, last Monday evening, where the
crowd rivaled tl.at at the Drury Lane pan
tomime. General Booth was in the chair,
and his son stood behind him. An uproar
Of applause that must have been heard in
the stalls Of the Vaudeville greeted the ris-
ing Of this tall, thin, sallow, full-bearded
and Cromwellian- haired enthusiast, who,
with shrill, clarionette voice, announced
that it was farewell meeting to thirty Off
GERS, chiefly women, who were to be dis
patched as Recruiting Sergeants of Saliva
ton to America, New Zealand and India.
II have,' he said, "under organization an
army corps in every British village, who
will barrack in vehicular caravans, and be
guarded at night by sentries." One of the
recent converts to the army, celebrated
cricketer, stood near the General. Referr-
ing to him, the General said: "He goes to
India to guard the salvation wicket against
the swift bowling Of the devil" This was
received with howl of applause, the audi.
ence keeping time with their wel'-known
wierd music or with songs, and seemed
animated with fanatic zeal truly Oriental

INTER-STATE COMMERCE.
A California Congressman's Views on the
Subject.

Budd, of California, made speech IN the
House on the interstate commerce Dill.
He offered an amendment to provide that
railroads shall not increase their rates with
out fifteen days notice. The bill provides
that they shall give five days notice of any
change in the schedule of rates, but Budds
amendment allowed them to lower their
rates at their pleasure, but required them
to give fifteen days notice of any increase
in rates. In speaking on the amendment
he called attention to the fact that the pub
lication of rates was one OF the best RENE
oies for railroad abuses known. He quoted
from the report Of the Royal Commission
OF England in 1867, and the joint commits
sion OF 1872; the Window Commission OF
1872 in Congress, and Nimo's reports, and
the example of several Of the countries OF
Europe, to prove that his position on the
subject was the correct one. All Of these
reports, he said, recommended the pubI'ca-
ton of rates, and several of them the pro-
hibItiOE Of the increase OF rates WITHOUT
notice, but in no case is there any recon-
mendation of or any authority for the pro-
hibition of a change of schedule which
might lower the rates in the interest Of the
people. He pointed out that in several
States the provision he proposed was law
The debate was under the 6ve-minute rule
After Budd had taken his seat, and before
a vote was taken on the amendment, Rea-
gan and several other members engaged in
| a wrangle, which created great deal OF
confusion, and it was probably owing to
| that fact that his amendment was not
adopted. It was nssatived by very : ,H''
| ma iority.
