WASHINGTON, June 2l.-At the con-
clusiOn OF the call OF States for the intro
uucuon OF bills and resolutions, on mo-
tlon OF Mr.. Randall, Of Pennsylvania, the
House to-day went into committee of the
Whole on thesundry civil bill. There was
no general debate on the measure, though
IL was agreed that when clanses were
reached relative tolpublic surveys the tive

made, both OF insertion and omission,
chiefly affecting local interests.
The paragraph relative to the Bureau
OF Engraving and Printing having been
reached, Mr.. Dlngley, of Maine, offered
an amendment requiring the engraving
OF notes of the denomination Of 81 aud 81
and other denominations authorized by
law.
Mr.. Randall raised a point OF order
against the amendment and in the course
OF his argument took occasion to deny the
charge that the present administration
mad waged war on the silver dollar.
The amendment was ruled out. and on
an appeal the decision of the chair was
sustained.
Mr.. Warner, Of Ohio, offered a similar
amendment, which met with a similar
tate. Mr.. Warner then attempted to
evade the point OF order by modifying the
amendment so as to authorize the issue
OF 81 and So notes in place of mutilated
and cancelled notes Of like denomination.
Mr.. Randall raised a point of order
against this amendment also, declaring
that the avowed object OF the proposition
was to compel different administration
OF the law than was practiced at present,
and therefore changed the existing law.
After some discussion the Speaker over
vote was taken and the amendment was
lost by Is tO-S7.
Mr.. Warner then offered an amendment
OF similar purport, but pending action the

All SOR rs.

Said c. NJ Palmer-There was great touch
of human nature in one of the reports | read
of the earthquake. 1t said when the first
shock came, some of the printers in one of
the newspaper Offices left their cases while
others worked on, and added: The printers
who continued work were piece workers and
those who quit were employed by the week.
George NJ. Horbitz-Some of the Republi-
can papers. and especially the Tribune are
going out of their way to tell lies about me
and misquote me. l am not a candidate for
any office in the world.
1t has transpired that the story in relation
to draping the statuary at the exposition is
an actual fact. Let everybody laugh. When
the rot of Purity was going the rounds and
cigar statues began to show up with drapery.
Supt Smith conceived the idea that perhans
there might be something in this talk. Ae-
cordingly, he procured some red damask and.
selecting several of the most naughty statues
carefully draped them about the lions. Some
of the directors discovered the drapery and
hastily ordered it off, but not until several
hundred visitors had strayed in and laughed
themselves sick.
OF all mean, measly and contemplate af-
fairs, the Minneapolis telephone exchange

stage that half the subscribers in the city
are on the point of ordering their instru-
ments removed, as not only nuisances but
actual means of insult. 1t takes, on the
average, fifteen minutes to get the operator
to come to the instrument and be impudent,
and then twice that long to get a connectlon,
which amounts to nothing when you get 1t.
The type yesterday made it appear that
Gov. Alger, in his address at the Union
league club banquet had said, none or the
issues of the day should be Incorporated in
the Republican party's platform" AS the
Republicans generally evade issues this was
not entirely incorrect, although the governor
really said ''isms of the day"
Col. L. b. Hibbard-I am Republican, but
it makes me sick to hear such stuff as Logan
talked. The idea of calling such man
statesman!
The question of a city market in South
Minneapolis has provoked considerable dis
cussion, and the citizens of that locality pro-
test at length against the measure, and q
meeting of the committee on markets will be
held Monday night To consider the question.
Gen. Logan's resemblance to ex-Sergt.
Kirkham was particularly noticeable at the
Union League clubs banquet where, with
characteristic disregard for grammar he de-
clared that the Republican protective-tariT
policy "done the country more good than any
thing else."
The Minneapolis travelling men had such
royal good time of it yesterday, visiting the
state fair and the Exposition together, that
they have decided to organize permanent
association. and will meet for that purpose
to-day at the state fair.
