Tipsy Testimony Not Taken.

George Rowe was placed at the bar of
the criminal court yesterday to answer to
an indictment charging him with the lar
ccny of SS5 from Charles Gum, at the st.
Charles Hotel on Dec. "a last. The
evidence showed that Rowe had been with
the prosecuting witness, who, in the hotel,
had accused him Of taking his vest. When
Gum, middle-aged man with mixed gray
hair and beard, came to the witness stand
1t was evident that he had imbbed too
freely, and the court, seeing his condition,
dismissed him from the stand. The gov
ernment was therefore unable to prove the
stealing Of the money, and the accused was
consequently acquitted. Justice Mac
Arthur subsequently referred to thecircum.
stance, and said he believed II was the first
time in his experience, certainly in the
court here, that he had deemed IL necessary
to dismiss witness from the stand owing
to his drunken condition He thought,
however, that "tipsy testimony" should
not be received in any case, even II the
government should lose conviction for
want of the testimony OF the witness. Mr..
Taggart said 1t had been suggested that
Gum was not resident here, but a Vir-
ginian. "He is evidently not an #. F.V.,'"
replied the Judge.

There was voting at the jahrmarkt last
night, and the pretty girls looked their
handsomest as they awaited eagerly to hear
the result, which was announced by the
president of the voting committee from a
high platform erected for that purpose.
The fair is great success which accounts
no doubt for the beaming countenance of
DIR, Schneider and the members Of the diff
ferent committees. After watching the
turtle squirt water into the mouth OF the
frog at the frog pond, and after chatting
with several dark-browed misses, the re-
porter proceeded to the fish pond, where
he managed to catch little doll baby. The
voting was then announced as follows /:

\ FEATURE IN THE ARMY BILL.


Important Change in the Form-The
STAR, the Line, and the Soldier.
With the exception Of simple revision of
phraseology the army bill has been com
pleted by the House committee on military
affairs, aud It will be reported to the House
early next week. In reply to questions by
the REPUBLICAN, representative Gen. Bragg,
the chairman Of the committee, stated
yesterday, in substance, that 1t is
not the purpose of his commit
tee to provide in the bill for any
thing outside Of the usual subjects In
cluded in the annual army bill-that is, the
appropriations will be for the military es-
tabllshment, pure and simple.
VIII there be any remarkable or new
feature in the bill ?
Yes, there is new feature. We intend
that the people of this government may
know and understand what we are appro-
priating for, and therefore we have changed
the form Of the bill so that the reader of
the law may know to which branch Of the
service each sum is appropriated as well as
Just how much money is appropriated for
each branch. We have classified the pay
Of the lire and the staff and the private sol
dier with regard to their active and retired
pay. In short, we have endeavored to
simplify the bill.
VIII your committee handle the matter Of
appropriations for strengthening our forts
and increasing our seacoast and northern
border defensesY
No; that matter is by our rules placed
exclusively under the Jurisdiction Of the
committee on appropriations.

A Silver Measure.

Representative Scott Yesterday explained
to the House committee on coinage,
weights, and measures the provisions of the
bill introduced by him to restrict the coin
age Of silver. 1t provides that whenever
the amount of standard silver dollars In the
treasury shall fall below twenty millions
the Secretary Of the Treasury shall be au-
thorized to coin sufficient number Of silver
dollars to bring the amount in the treasury
to twenty millions. Mr.. Scott strongly
urged the adoption Of his bill, He said It
left the entire question Of silver coinage to
the demands OF the people. The measure
was discussed at length, but no action was
had upon 1t.
Representative James submitted the fol-
lowing resolutions to the committee, which
were laid over without vote:
RCsO'rCd, That the interests of the country de.
mQnd the restoration of silver to its former po.
sition as International money in permanent
equality with gold.
Roso'iod, That this end can be attained by
concurrent action Of the commercial nations,
and by no other means.

offers to meet either Paddy Duffy or Billy
Young in glove contest. Duffy ignoring
White, offered yesterday to make a match
with Bennie Green, his challenge in the

offer TO spar with Dempsey ! will say that
Greene need not seek Dempsey as he can be ac
commodated here. ] Will box Greene in any
way that will be agreeable to him-siX or eight
rounds, or TO finish, for money or fun.
The subjolned response speaks for itself
and nothing now remains for the boxers to
do but get together and arrange match.

Before a Senate Committee.
There was quite gathering OF ladies and
gentlemen in the room of the Senate COM
mittee on education and labor yesterday,
when the members Of the Woman's Indus
trial League were heard on the subject Of
legislation in behalf of women. Mrs.
Chrrlotte Smith, the president of the
league, was flrst.eXamined, and complained
Of the alleged immortality in the depart
ments; that improper women were main
tanned there by public men and political
influence; that honest women are
denied places in the depart
ments, while those others are
retained. She exclaimed eXcitedly, There
are eco improper women in the depart
mentl.n She started to read an affidavit,
hut was interrupted, and had quite dash
with Senator Payne, and once made forci-
ble gesture toward the venerable senator.
Mrs. Hickman states that the object of
the league was not to defame any one, but
10 improve the chances of worklngwomen
for employment under the government
Miss Franklin said that she got 80 cents
dozen for making shirts.
Mrs. Reeder, whose husband Is dissi-
pated, corroborated Miss Franklin, "The

Liberal District Appropriations.


The subcommittee on the District OF Co
lumbia, of the House appropriations COM
mittee, completed their work on the Dis
trict appropriation bill yesterday, and II is
now ready TO be reported back to the gen
era lcommittee completed. The changes In
the bill, from the amendments asked by the
commissioners, have been few. The schools,
as already stated, have been given ample
ment. The request for fifteen additional
police will be granted. The bill:will be re-
ported to the House on Monday.
Representative Henderson, OF Iowa, who
is a member Of the subcommittee of appro-
priatlons having charge of the District bill
has been making a very careful and indus
trious study Of District matters. A REPUB-
LICAN reporter called upon him yesterday
with view to ascertaining something as TO
the probable action Of his committee. He
was unwilling, however, to disclose this,
deeming 1t not In the best taste to anticipate
in public interviews the probable action OF
| the committee on appropriations; but he
| said that the very closest and most conscien-
tious attention was being given to the wants
Of the District, and that every opportunity
was being given to the commissioners and
| other officers and 10 any and all citizens
| desiring TO be heard on matters touching
| District affairs, He had found no little
diversity of opinion in relation to school
and other affairs of the District, but had
discovered a perfect unanimity on one
subject, that none Of the officers
of the District, excepting the commits
sioners, were getting sufficient compensa
tiOn. The committee, however, are com
forted by the discovery that there are thou
sands modestly waiting TO take the place o.
any discontentGd official. Pressing him {

tain what is needed for the best Interest o
