Tuesday has been set apart for such business
as mag be presented bv the committee on

for the retirement of their circulating
notes. The special orders however, are
not to interfere with the consideration
of general appropriation bills. When the
house adjourned Saturday the discussion of
the consular and diplomatic bill was not
completed. That measure will be called up
Tuesday, or possibly tomorrow, if the entire
day should not be occupied by the committee
on the District of Columbia. The committee
on appropriations intends reporting the
: Indian bill Tuesday, and an effort will be
made 10 pass 1t as soon as the consular and
/ diplomatic bill is disposed OF. 1t is possible
the river and harbor appropriation will BE- re-
ported Wednesday or Thursday. AS soon
thereafter as opportunity is offered, an
effort will be made to pass It.
There promises to be q strenuous
contest during the week between the
friends of special orders and the advocates
of prominent measures which have been be-
fore the house some time Mr.. Singleton
will endeavor to secure the passage Of bill
authorizing the construction of q building
for the accommodation of the congressional
library, Townshend, the Mexican pension
bill, and Willis, the educational bill.
IN RE PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Mr.. Stockslager, chairman of the house
committee on public buildings and grounds,
says it is his purpose to call up the bills pro-
viding appropriations for public buildings
throughout the country, at every opportunity
offered during the remainder OF the session.
''When the house decides to discuss bills for
public buildings,' he continues, II will not
ask it to pass the bills which have been fav-
orably reported, in dump, but will offer
oh rafa fO ha ted
on its merits.''
There are ffty-eight bills for public build
ings, aggregating an appropriation of about
SO, 532. 200, which have been reported TO the
house OF the present congress and which are
now pending. Two bills, one providing for
public building at Waco, Texas, and the
other for building at Carson City, Nevada,
and each appropriating 800, 900, have been
passed. In the past four congresses the ap-
preparation bills for public buildings, which
passed the houses aggregated:
Forty-fourth congress. .S5, ,731, ,633
rorty-nlt IN congress-. ss.................. S,O37,447
Foriy-sixth congress. 8,252, ,047
torty-seVenth congress-. S,636,OOO
Appropriations during the Forty-fourth
and Fortr-ffth congresses were mostly for
buildings that previous congresses directed
should be erected in the large cities.
SENATE BUSINESS.
In the senate the naval appropriation bill
is likely to be reported from the appropria-
tions committee aud reached for discussion
and passage early in the week. The discus
sion of the interstate commerce bill and
Nicaraguan treaty will probably consume the
remainder Of the week.

CONCLUSION OF THE INVESTIGATION.
A Suspicion that There Will Be Whitewash
Report on Postmaster Jones.

The taking of testimony in the investigation
of the charges against Postmaster Jones, and
the local board of civilservice examiners has
been finally concluded, Chief Examiner Lyman
having completed his work of looking after some
of the smaller details of the case yester-
day and left tor Washington, taking with him
all the documentary evidence accumulated in the
examination. The report of the examiners will
be submitted to the commission sometime
next week. but nothing can be learned authori-
tatively regarding the nature of their
conclusions. Postmaster Jones, however,
seems to be satisfied that it will
net be very unfavorabie to him, and has no
fears of being disturbed The opinion seems to
prevail among those who have taken the most
interest in the matter that the report will be in
the nature of a whitewash. The refusal of
Judge Thoman to take anything more than vol
untary statements in relation to the
charges against the postmaster, is regard
ed as conclusive proof Of this. The
Independents seem to think, however, that they
have made strong against the postmaster
and that the President will uphold the principles
of civil service reform in good faith 1t is init
mated that they may make further trouble for
Mr.. Jones, as they are holding other charges in
reserve for a second complaint if it should be
decided that they have not furnished sufficient
evidence to convict him of violating the law.

CHICAGO, Aug. MARY Ellen Cunningham,
the handsome young wife of wealthy merchant,
Michael Cunningham, was sentenced to Jail to-
day by Judge Tuley. for contempt of

fused to produce Mary Alice. the sixteen year
old daughter of her husband by a former
marriage, to be sent TO a Catholic school
as a ward of the court Judge Tuley
postponed his decision from time to time TO give
the lady time TO learn the girls whereabouts
and produce her. in compliance with the courts
order and she failed to obey; hence she was
committed for contempt when the matter came
up for decision this morning.

which produces the book agent is not new Very
likely, when Hannibal crossed the Alps, the en-

papyrus devoted to the life and pictures of tho

been for an enterprising American to have sent
out ahead and supplied the children of Israel
with maps of the Holy Land when
they were the road from Egypt! The

Her Diamonds Were Paste, and Hotel Pro-

Chicago Times.
The bald headed gentlemen and thin. shanked
and hsir- banged dudes who have been haunting
the corridors of the Palmer House for the past
week. sending daintily -perfumed notes and flow
ers to Mrs. n. Salm, the ''Texas Cattle Queen"
are now consoling with one another and counting
up their losses. A week ago yesterday a very
Ety." pretty faced little mite of woman
deliberately dressed in bright silk and
satin, stood on tptoe in front of the Pal
mer House counter, and with a flourish wrote
hesuperscription, Mrs. Salm. Houston, Texas"
She soon had it noised about that the great
Cattle Queen" Of Texas, owner of four gigantic
ranches, l25, 900 head of cattle. and countless
diamonds, had arrived in the city. Although
giving strict orders to the clerk that under no
circumstances would she see newspaper men,
before three or four reporters were at her side.
and she was filling them up with
fairy" tales for all there was in
it. One or two papers caught at the bait, and
gave extended accounts of the fair Texan and
her vast wealth. Her principal fear seemed to
be that fortune hunters would seek her out and
annoy her. While at the Palmer nothing was
too good for her. She had an elegant suite of
rooms, and daily rode ont the boulevards
with fourth hand. But the crisis came
marked $3.50 Collect" Would the clerk
oblige her and pay the bill? She had no small
change you know. The clerk pricked up his
ears and looked at Manager Howe. Manager
Howe looked at the book. The lady owed $75
for board and as much again for incdentas
bill was made out and sent to her room The
answer came back that settlement would be
made when the banks opened Friday. Friday
the banks were open, and was the lady's
account An explanation was demanded, and
the lady confessed that she had friends but
offered to put up her jewelry, which offer was
accepted.
Suspicious, however, Mr.. Howe sent the
diamonds to ieweler who pronounced them
paste The outfit consisted of window glass
diamond necklace, oyster pearl earrings. and a
silver spoon with large window glass diamond
in the bowl They were pronounced worth $l8.
The spoon was the most valuable of the lot.
The Texans trunk next put up, and she
went cut yesterday afternoon to make raise"
and forgot TO come hack
1t is expected That the Cattle Queen of Texas"
has taken an apartment on the North Side, as a
note was received from there asking for the
letters from the bald headed gentlemen and thin
shanked dudes which she had left behind.
