With picnics, base ball games croquet
and other outdoor pleasures Christmas was
celebrated, and the weather made such
sports enjoyable. However, there was still
the desire TO give the general public

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.
House.

| Mr.. Rogers of Arkansas. from the com
mittee on the judiciary, reported resolution
| [as substitute fer one offered by Mr.. Du.
| bois of Idaho) calling on the attorney gen.
eral for information as to the number of
convictions that have been made for the
offences of polygamy, adultery and unlaw full
cohabitation in Utah and Idaho and as to
the number of psrdons granted to persons SO
convicted.
The resolution was adopted.
Mr.. Payson of Illinois offered a resolution
revoking all leaves of absence except those
granted on account of illness. this revocation
to take effect on Monday next.
Mr.. Dunn of Arkansas offered an amend
ment to Mr.. Payson's resolution directing
the sergeant alarms to inform absentees by
telegraph of the action of the House.
Mr. Payson said that the evil of absentee
ism was as bad on the republican as on the dem
ocratic side, and his resolution was directed
as much against his party against the alb
sent democrats. The motive of his resolu
ton was a purely business one. 1t was as
much the duty of Mr.. Long of Massachus-
etts to be here as it was the duty of the dis
tinguished gentleman who was chairman of
the ways and means committee, who was
this afternoon addressing the great unterritied
in Chicago. (Laughter.) Mr.. Dunns
amendment was agreed to and, as amended,
Mr.. Payson's motion was adopted.
After consuming a couple of hours in vain
effort to secure quorum the House at 8. 45
adjourned.

PITYING THE AMERICANS.
A Canadian Railroad Official CiYes Ills
Opinions
Regarding the Effects OF Retaliation.

| Sr. Paul, Aug. 26.
| w. c. Van Horne, president of the Cana.
dian Pacific, in being interviewed for the
Pioneer Press on the proposals contained in
the Presidents message said:
The policy of non-intercourse between
the United States and Canada would damage
the American railroad interests between two
and three dollars where it would injure the
Canadian interests one. All the Michigan
roads will be heavily damaged. The New
England lines will be hurt, particularly those
depending upon Canadian lines for an outlet
the same would be true of the lines
centering at Niagara which would
have to look to the VIGOROUSLY illiberal Van
derbllt system for western connection, or to
the Erie, which is competitor for the very
business it would be asked TO take West.
Roads like the Wabash would also suffer.
The 500 4 Duluth, South Shore 4 Atlanic
would also be heavy losers. However the
transfer of flour aud breadstuffs for export
would not be hindered as il does not go into
bond. By Secretary Manning's order July
1856, all the Lake business from Duluth.
Milwaukee, Collingwood and other Canadi-
an railroad ports have gone in American
bottoms and this would be knocked in the
head. On the Canadian side the blow wonld
fall rather heavily on the Grand Trunk lines
but to the Canadian Pacific il would be COM
paratively slight. There is no money for us
in American freight anyway, and we would
of course hold our passenger business"
Roads running northwest from Chicago
would suffer indirectly in proportion as their
business is gone and lake system would lose.
On the question of general commercial
damage to each country, Van Horne thought
that the American interests would suffer
twenty times more than the Canadian.

from Portland. Biddeford Saco and the sur
rounding towns.
Marshal Baliington Booth, commander-in-
chief Of the American forces, was in charge
of the meetings throughout the day. Mrs
Booth and prominent New England officers
assisted. Three out door meetings were
held each of which opened with prayer and
brief testimonies, which were followed by a
sermon by Marshal Booth In his reference
to the work of the Salvation Army, he said :
ats mission is to go down to the lowest stra-
Il of society and bring up the fallen to re
spectable level Make them as respectable
a, Boston church members" just before
the morning collection was taken he asked
how many present were in sympathy with
the practical work of the army, and some
three thousand raised their hands Then

their mission.

In the matter of the fisheries, that they sec

worth consideration in national Congress and
that if they kept annoying the country about
it, they would drive Congress into giving the
free markets of the United States to all the
fishermen of the Dominion, and now they
applaud the Presidents new move. Perhaps
the national administration, the democratic
party and its newspaper organs think this
dodge will put them in heroic attitude but
to the average mind of the American citizen
it merely places them in su-
premely ridiculous position. What pos
sible sense is there, gentlemen, in
disturbing the commercial relations between
our country ami the Dominion at remote
western points, because there is a dispute
between Halifax and Gloucester, that can be
easily settled on the ground? Why should
the railways of the United States that annu-
ally transport $50, ,0o0, 900 of Canadian goods
in transit be deprived of their business and
endure large loss on account of whim of
the President? Why should the transit from
Detroit to Buffalo and New York over both
American and Canadian lines of railroad be
suspended when it has no relation whatever
to the fishery question? Why should the
barge traffic between Montreal and Quebec
on the one hand and Portland on the other
by which Portland became the winter port of
Canada be summarily stopped at the caprice
of the President when that caprice is found
ed on chagrn over the course of the indie

A STORY
To the Effect That the Couple Supposed
To Have Been Drowned at Bar Har
bor Still Live.

BosroN, Aug, 26.
On August llth, j. Reed of Albany, n.
Y, and Miss Annie MilliSen of New Orleans
left the San Sauveur hotel, Bar Harbor where
they were guests for conoe ride in the bay.
The following day their canoe was found
overturned and it was generally believed
that they were drowned. Soon after j. +.
Potter, colored man employed by the
Pullman palace car company in this
city and who happened to know
the parties, created sensation by quickly
making it known that Reed was still living
A brother of Reed, who also lives in Al
bany, received a telegram from Potter yes
terday stating that he could give him infor-
nation of the missing man, and in response
MIR. Reed and detectives had an interview
with Mr. Potter in this city today. Potter
stated that j. II. Reed and Miss Milliken
were picked up by French fishing vessel
and landed at St. John. They then went to
indianapolis, then to Niagara Falls, where
they still remain. When asked for descrip-
ton of the parties, Potter couldn't give it and
the detectives refused to place any confidence
in his story. Potter asked if the information
was not worth something and asserted that he
possessed other knowledge of the matter.
He couldn't be induced to tell what this was
and Mr.. Reed returned, satisfied in his own
mind that Potter's story was concoted prob
ably in the hope of receiving reward.

FURTHER PARTICULARS
Regarding the Suicide OF VIM. II. Gala
CHER.

BosroN, Aug. 27.
William H. Gallagher, the well known
ticket seller at the Howard Atheneum, who
shot himself at his residence in Boston High
lands last Friday morning died Sunday. The
following particulars are learned concerning
his death:
: Mrs. Gallagher had arisen about seven
o'clock Friday morning and gone down stairs
when she was startled at hearing a shot fred
She went to ascertain the cause and was
almost prostrated to find Mr.. Gallagher with
bullet wound in his head. A phi, sician
was at once called and the gentleman was
conveyed to his chamber unconscious, in
which condition he remained until he died.
The bullet entered his forehead and taking
downward course, stopped just over the base
of the brain. Mr.. Gallagher was 50 years
old, very popular with the patrons of the
theatre and well liked by his associates.
The only reason given for this act is that he
was inflicted with temporary insanity.

FOR NEWSPAPER EFFECT.
Democratic Consultation Used to Afford
Campaign Capital.
CHICAGO, Aug. 26.

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.
Charles S. Thomas, member from Col
orado for the national democratic convention
spent couple of hours yesterday in consul
tation with Thurman and the chieftans of
the Iroquois tribe. He is fresh from the
conclaves of the national committee. That
organization, he stated, is deploying its polit-
ical forces in Maine where they hope to
repeat this fall the startling success of 1880
They feel specially encouraged since the
delivery of Blaine's speech in which he jus
titled the creation of trusts, for it is now
manifest that the condemnation of such
combinations in the republican platform was
intended for effect while in reality that party
is relying largely upon the assistance OBJ
tanned from these trusts for its campaign
funds. Mr.. Thomas stated that the demand
for campaign documentary information was
unprecedented He asserted that Mr.. Bryce,
whose relation to the committee has been
the subject of newspaper comment, was in
perfect accord with the committee and in
high favor with the administration.
