WASHINGTON. u. c., February 10.
The resolution for the adjournment OF
the House ~ honor Of the memory of
General Hancock was offered without
consultation with the Speaker or any OF
ths leaders Of the House, and was a
surprise 20 every body except the Texas
Snc Louisiana delegations. There was
sone rivalry between the Representa-
tivek Of those two States. IN which Gen.
eTsl Hancock was specially popular,
for the privilege OF doing him honor.
Ni blanchard. O. Louisiana. got the
floor FIRST, and his resolution was.
necessarily, passed. The members OF
the House. OF both parties, desired
10 honor the General, bat the offering
OF the resolution At the very beginning
o. the Gay s session was approved by
very few. X would have been an I'M
gracious act for any one TO object, and
nobody had the courage TO do ii. A
very prominent member afterwards re-
marked 4" This shows what towards
we al are. II Republican had OBJ
Jected. 1t wonld have been said that be
was prompted by partisan feeling il 6
Democrat had objected, be would have

binary action was taken without dis
seniIng voice. If il had been offered

been n favor Of it,

The Fit2 John Porter bill is the spe-
cisl order for tomorrow and for the

doubts that the bill will pass the

Washington Notes.


WASHINGTON, February ia
protest was laid before the Senate to-
day in secret session against the con-
firmaiion Of the collector Of customs in
Vermont. Is is signed by people whom
the Vermont senators declared worthy
Of consideration. The grounds Of OBJ
lection are that the collector has APP
pointed as deputy to take charge OF the
station on the Canada line, through
which several hundred thousand dollars
worth Of goods are annually imported,
q man who has been three times ID
dIeied for Irregularities IN connection
with customs, and who has compro-
missed these affairs with the Treasury
Department. The protest is said TO
have given rise TO 3 short but interest
ing debate.
An attempt was made by the Arkan-
sss senators 70 secure action upon the
nomination Of the Register Of the Land
Office in their State. but it was not sue
cessful. This officials predecessor was
suspended, which fact was the only one
brought out by the opponents Of the
nominee.

CHICAGO. February l0.-The chief
subject Of interest among the skilled
laborers Of Chicago is centred in the
efforts already made to boycott certain
firms which have incurred the enmity
Of their employees. both here and IN
other localities. The boycott ordered
against five Of the largest shoe-mana-
iseturing dealers In the West is being
effectively pushed.
So far rs their city trade is concerned
there has thus far been but slight fall
IDg-Of, nor is il likely that their trade
will be seriously injured here bat in
the coGntry it is claimed that already
the mandate Of the Knights Of Labor
has had serious effect upon the sales OF
convict-made goods made by the boy
cotIed firms. Ii is in the country where
the boycotteTs expect TO make them
selves felt, and outlying districts are
beng canvassed for the express purpose
Of running the business OF all boot and
shoe-manulacturers who have prison
contracts and sell prison-Diade goods.
esterday a merchant tr0B Iowa
saiO that IN his vicinity the boycott
against a certain eastern stove-factorv
had resulted in a general uprising
among the workingmen, who would
not buy goods made by boycotted firms
upon any terms. Since the boycott was
ordered one hardware firm which had
II stock about a carload Of these goods
had been unable TO dispose OF them.
and because they had refused 10 dis
continue the sale Of these stoves their
general trade had been seriously Grip
pied.
Inquiries at many drug.stores and
other places IN this city, where the
boy cOtIed Davenport cIgar-manufactu-
reT'bas disposed OF his goods, developed
the fact that his trade has been Sc
Iiously cut into since the wOrkingmen
Of Davenport issued q manifesto re-
questing all labOringmen to boycstt
this particular factory.
The Boycott Committee Of the Trades
Assembly is said to be engaged in per-
iectiDg plans to bring about general
onslaught upon all kinds Of prison-msde
goods. Ii Is presumed their first ef-
forts viii be directed against the va
rious contractors al the Illinois State
prisons. II Is said that a general boy
colt will shortly be ordered against
these manufacturing firms, and, If ne
cessary, the local knights Of Labor will
60 into The interior Of the State TO per-
form missionary work against the sale
Of the stock.

WASHINGTON. February l0.-The
BOuse Committee on Coinage, Weights.
and Measures to-day gave hearing to
l.. 7. Jefiers. OF Kansas City, repre-
senting the knights Of Labor, In favor
Of the bill introduced by Representative
Brumm. known as the " Knights Of La
Dor " currency bill. Jefiers explained
ibe provisions OF the bill and answered
questions put 10 him by members of
the committee as to its probable effect.
George O.. Jones, representing the
anti-monopolists OF New York, was
present, and expressed q desire 10 APP
pear before the committee with a dele
cation from New York next Wednes-
Gay. The committee agreed to hear
them, but said they would not consent
10 withhold their report on the silver
question until that time.
Representative Fuller introduced the
following resolution
Resoired. That we oppose at the pres
Cnt time the suspension OF the coinage
Of silver, believing that the interests Of
our country require the utilization Of
both silver and gold.
A brief discussion ensued upon the
silver question and the advisability Of
ar early report on the subject. but no
action was taken. 1t was agreed, how
ever. 10 hold a meeting tomorrow for
the further consideration OF the silver
question in case Representative Nc
CTeary. who Is absent from the
city. returns in time. A meeting
will also be held on Friday, and it IS
probable that 3 test vote viii be taken
on one Of these DAYS. The general
sentiment Of the committee seemed TO
he IN favor Of reaching ar early agree
ment on the question and bringing it
before the House in legitimate way,
20 as 10 prevent the random discus
sion OF the question which Is taxing
place at present.

A BIG HOAX.

LONDON, February ll.-Yesterday's
report Of an outbreak in Deptf0rd
proves to have been a hoax. IL turns
out that there was no disturbance
whatever, and that the story OF the
marching Of a mob 10 London is q nc
ton. The police on hearing OF the
rumors warned the shop-keepers to
close their places Of business, thus
adding 10 the panic. The rumors
spread throughout London and crowds
OF people soon gathered, curl
Gus to see the expected emeate.
The people Of Greenwich were Is
anxiously expectant Of the visit OF the
mob as were the people Of London.
The scare originated in the TACT that =
jewelry dealer informed the police that
he had been met IN the direction OF
Greenwich by body Of rioters who
we're smashing windows along their
line Of march. With the exception OF
some winaow-brsaking IN the vicinity
