says he thinks now that Congress- will be
able TO adjourn by July /. The appropri-
alton bills are all in an unusually forward
state. There will probably be no more
suoh political debates as occurred on the
pension appropriation bill. The silver
debate is confined to two or three days.
Inc debate on the tariff bill, whether its
enactlne clause be stricken out or not,
VIII not be a lengthy one. So he sees no
reason why, unless something unforeseen
prevents, Congress should not get away
before July 4.

WORK BEFORE CoNGREss.
Consideration of Nominations in Open
Session on the TapIs.


WASHINGTON, March 2l.-The Ed
munds resolutions are likely to be brought
to y final vote in the Senate about the
middle of the present week. The pending
question is upon Mr.. Van Wyck's amend
mend to consider the nominations to
which the resolutions relate in open ses-
sion. 1t is possible, however, that this
amendment may be withdrawn, that
course having been suggested by Senators
who are heartily in favor of the principle
it embodies, but do not think it best to mix
the matter with the issues raised by the
resolutions or TO dispose of it as a party
question.
IN CASE OF WITHDRAWAL.
Should it be Withdrawn the subject of
secret sessions will be brought up soon
after the Edmunds resolutions are dis
posed Of Not less than a dozen Senators
are in earnest accord with the movement
to consider nominations in open session,
and as many more are in favor of some
mitigation of those rules which force them
so often to keep their mouths closed when
a subject is preached which all mankind
besides may discuss freely. The ludicrOus
SuppOSittOus LdpSi language which have
illuminated the proceedings during the
last few days have not all been purely ac-
cidental.
INDIAN APPROPRIATIONS.
The Indian appropriation bill, which
was extensively discussed in the House
last week, is likely to be passed tO-mor-
row afternoon or Tuesday.
The post office appropriation bill will
then have the right OF way, and is ex-
pected to run through the week. 1t is I'M
derstOod that the consideration Of this
measure will be enliVened by a political
debate concerning the Postmaster Gen
erals pGlicy In regard to last years ap-
preparation for carrying ocean mails.

An Agreement Reached by the Three
Gentlemen ia Conference.
ST. LOUIS, March 2l.--Govs. Marina
duke and Martin held their third confer
ence with Vice President Hoxie this after
noon, at which the proposition submitted
yesterday by the Governors was again
discussed and formal reply on the part
Of the railway officials was made. The
Governors found that the railway COM
p9ny had not violated the agreement
made with the strikers IN 1875, but in
view of the great interests at stake
suggest that the agreement embodied in
the circular OF March 10, 1885, be restored
and continued in letter and spirit, and
the Missouri Pacific Company Te-employ
in its service all its old employees without
prejudice to them on account OF the late
strike, so far as the business of the com
pany will justify of their unemployment.
MIR. HOMES REPLY.
Vice President Hoxie In reply said the
suggestion was acceptable with the fol-
lowing notifications: 1--WE cannot re-
engage or continue in our employ any
! persons who have actually engaged IN
destruction or injury OF the cOmpany's
| property or who have advised such de-
| struction or injury. We shall give pref
erence to those OF our late employees who
have families and own homes on the lines
of road. 1t is to be remembered that
the loss of traffic caused by the present
strike will to a considerable extent re-
duce the necessity OF employing as many
men in our shops as heretofore"
TO STOP EVERY WHEEL.
Martin Irons, the chairman of the exec
utive committee OF District Assembly No.
10l, the man who ordered the present
strike saws:
"lf the grievances OF the knights Of
Labor are not adjusted within the next
/ three days we will call out the knights
on every railroad in the country and stop
every wheel from moving.
SUING STRIKERS.
! TOPEKA, March 2l.-The Missouri
| Pacific Railway Company filed yesterday
| in the United States Circuit Court "A bill
in equity against three hundred strikers,
charging them and other late employees
with having formed conspiracy TO aban-
don the cOmpany's service and assuming
control Of its property and resisting the
performance OF service for the company,
thus preventing the railway company
from carrying on its business as common
carriers.
HOXIE's ACTION SUSTAINED.
GALVESTON, March 2l.-Mass meet

ATLANTA, GA, March 2I.--Rev. Chaun-
cey Williams, rector of st. PauPs church,
of Augusta, filed the pulpit ofSt. Philips
church in this city to-day. The large
church was unusually crowded, it
being communion day, and among the
vast audience was DR.. Armstrong and
his family.
After the sermon Mr.. Williams spoke
OF DR.. Armstrong in most kindly man.
ner, referring to the Doctors conduct in
cOunseling the members of st. Phillips
church to remain together and dlsap-
proving of any movement to divide the
congregation. AT the same time the dis
tinguished minister paid a glowing tri-
butte to the character OF Bishop BeckWith,
stating thathe had been intimately ac-
quainted with him since his youth, and
speaking of him as man of fine charac-
ter.
INDIGNATION EXCITED.
In view OF the fact of great hostility felt
toward the Bishop by large portion of
the congregation, the praise fell upon the
ears of the friends Of DIR. Armstrong in a
manner to create indignation, and re-
suited in many leaving the church, and
many who remained refusing to partake
of communion. This affair at ST. Philips
is the universal topic Of cOnversa-
tfOn, as Mr.. Williams was brought
here by the new Yestry. The
members of that body are taking part for
Bishop Beck with, while the old vestry are
upholding DR.. Armstrong and are indig-
nant at the tribute paid the Bishop by
Rev. Williams, whom they charge with
being the cause OF DIR. Armstrong; sus-
pension.
