WASHINGTON. December l5.-Mr.
Morrison, of Illinois, offered con-
cnrreet resolution, providing for
holiday recess, from Tuesday. Deem
ber 22nd, until Tuesday, January 9Th.
Laid over for one day under rules. \
Mr.. Morrison then called up the
report of the committee on rules.
which was presented yesterday, aud
the proposed new code OF rules was
read at length. ~
AT Mr.. Morrison's suggestion. the
reading of the report itself was d s.
peDsed with, aud the general debate
was opened By him, with short ex-
PLANTATION of the proposed revision.
There was nothing new, he said. in
the proposition. The committee had
merely grouped such OF the PROPOSE
tons as had been submitted TO the
house from time TO time, and such as
were believed essential TO the speedy
organization of the house, to the
proper distribution of lis work aud TO
more conservative and economical
legislation. After touching briefly
upon one or two minor changes pro-
posed, he argued. in support of the
distribution OF the labors of the APP
preparation committee, that, If the re-
vision was adopted, the committee
would DO left with Jurisdiction over
bills aggregating in amount over half
the expenditure of the government,
and II was believed by the committee
on rules that to give diligent and
proper attention to appropriation
bills involving such an amount of
money, would require all the efforts,
all the industry aud all the diligence
that could be found In any one COM
mittee of the house. II was claimed
by minority OF the committee on
rules that this would lead to Increased
expenditures. This would be only
so, he contended, If mem.
bers who should constitute
the other committees were
less intelligent, less honest, less vigi.
liant, less capable of performing the
duties that dcvolved on them than
were the members of the eommittc,
on appropriations. II was stated IL
the minority report that since the
agricultural appropriation bill hat
been transferred TO the care of tn,
committee on agriculture, the appro'
| ptiWiouo iot WV az iNhiuih pu'c''
had largely increased. This was &C
counted for by the fact that the dutie'
and powers of that bureau had largel,
increased: aud he commented upoi
the fact that though tho agriculture
interest was the most important il
the country, the last agriculture
appropriation bill had carried only
one twelf,h of the money which ha,
boon appropriated TO erect one publ,
building IN Philadelphia TO tax ihi
Ind ustry, aud about the same amour
had been given for public building
In an Interior town where one mem
Der of the appropriation committe,
resided. But this was not tn,
only bill In which appropriations ha,
been increased under the management
of the democratic appropriation com
mittee. The expenditures for tn,
postoilice department had grow
| $i7 900 since the Foriy-third con
gress. lilo did not complain of it
did not say that II had not properl,

rebels have fled, driven from their rife pits

charge was gallantly made by the Grenadiers.
Riel sent message to General Middleton early
in the day, saying: 'If ysu persist in firing
upon the houses containing our women and
children we shall massacre the prisoners in
our hands" The general in reply told him to
gather his women and children into ono lsuss
and 1t would not be fired upon. Later Riel
sent an answer, thanking Middleton for his
humane promise to save the women aud child
ren, but afterwards, as the general attack was
just being made, he sent another message, say
ing he did not like war, but unless tho troops
retired the original intention Of massacrsing
the prisoners would be adhered to. RHt it
came too late. The charge had already COM

E1rS. Uil!'A Sentence,

A Wahpeton special 10 the Fargo Republican
says:
The first chapter in the Dill murder trial
closed at S O'Clock OH the evening of the Sth
inst, when Mrs. Dill, one Of the accused, was
found guilty by the jury of murder and ssh,
teneed to imprisonment for life at hard labor.
The jury were out about seven hours and a.
hail. There was marked silence in the crowd
ed room when Mrs. Dill was ,lshered In to re-
ceive her sentence. She was deathly pale,
but otherwise self possessed. Mr. Sunderloff
was called to interpret the words of Judge
Hudson, Mrs. Dill being German. When
asked il she had anything to say why sentence
should not be passed upon her, she replied, 81
am not guilty" The fortitude Mrs. Dill pos
sessed was remarkable, but as the Judge passed
upon her an imprisonment for life sentence
she tainted away. Her counsel, w. K. Purcell,
caught her in his arms and with the assistance
OF bailiff bore her from the court.

From the crossing Of tho Danube in June,
1877, until February, 1873, tho Russian loss in
killed and wounded was S9,3O4. The cost of
that little war in money was equally frightful.
The official report Of the total expenses was
9O2,0O0,00O rubles. The silver rublo 10 equal
to about so cents, but the rublos current in
Russia thon deprecated nearly one-t,irl.
During the war this paper currency swelled
from 7l1,G0O,0LO to 1854, 600 rubles, and
loan followed loan. Still the lesson of peacs
does not seem to have been learned. Under
another such burden killing taxes AMI virtual
bankruptcy must fellow peace, whatever the
issue of the struggle, and it is not impossible
that even II abso!tism be victorious in the field
1t may meet Its deatll-blow at home. At least
that is the view of KingkiIler Hartmann, who.
speaking In the name Of tie NhiIlsts, is re-
ported to have said that during the war the
Tsrrorists would be quiet, confident In the be-
licf that tho sequel Of the war, whoever con-
quers, will be tho ending Of the limo Of Czars.-

Rowing IiOumanians.

A party Of fifty or more Roumanians came
in from Winnipeg last evening, and left on the
$3.50 train this morning for Jamestown, from
which point they will proceed to Carrington In
search Of land. They landed in America but
4 few weeks ago, and went at once to Manito-
ba, expecting 10 find homes. After reaching
Winnipeg they extended their journey several
hundred miles farther west. but here they
found the country covered with water and full
OF hostile Indians-followers of Rsil. Not
wishing to have their families exposed to the
dangers Of border warfare, they remained there
but one day, taking the next train back to
Winnipeg. From one man It was learned that,
on reaching Manitoba, there were in all about
1z0 in the party, but tho others had spent all
their money, and were unable to procure tick
