WASHINGTON, March 2O.-Mr. Enloe OF
Tennessee, rising to a question OF privilege,
read a petition in favor OF a bill to regulate
classification and compensation of post
masters. A bill was reported to authorize
the President to confer brevet rank on
army officers for gallant services in Indian
campaigns. Placed on the calendar. A
bill was reported to prevent the employ
ment of convict and alien labor on public
works. Placed on the calendar.
Mr.. Weaver OF Iowa introduced a bill
providing for the issue OF legal tender
Treasury notes in lieu OF notes estimated
to be lost or destroyed. Referred. In con
sideration Of the morning hour, the House
resumed the consideration OF the resolu-
| ton assigning four days for the transac-
ton OF business reported by the
Committee on Labor. The opponents OF
the resolution, led by Rogers, OF Arkansas,
proceeded to obstructive methods to pre-
vent action. After one roll call O'Nei1stated
that in order to remove the pretext under
which gentlemen were reSOrting to flibus-
tering tactics, he was willing to amend the
resolution by striking out the clause limiting
the time of debate on a measure called
up. Rogers objected to the charge that he
was acting under a pretext. The reason he
was offering obstruction was that the Com
mittee on Labor, with four bills on the cal
endar, was asking to have four day as
signed, when the appropriation bill remained
u]ndisposed of and the Committee OF. Ways
and Means was maturing a bill affecting
the interests of honest labor O hundred
times more than any conceivable PROPOSE.
ton over which the Committee on Labor
had Jurisdiction. After considerable debate
elimination of the time clause was agreed
to and the resolution adopted. 1t sets
aside the goth and 21st of March, the 18th
OF April and the 10th OF May for the pur-
pose stated. The floor was then accorded
the Committee on Labor n bills passed
for protection in their wages OF mechanics,
laborers and servants in the District OF Co.
lumbia and Territories and extending the
provisions of the eight-hour law to letter
carriers. A bill referring to the Court OF
Claims for adjustment the accounts OF
laborers, workmen and mechanics, arising
under the eight-hour law, was taken up and
briefly discussed. Without action the COM
mittee rose and the House adjourned.

The Senate.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 2O.-Mr.
Blair, who yesterday introduced a bill
concerning civil service appointments
| among men who had been disloyal during
the war, giving preference to those who had
served in the Confederate army, and who
were suffering from wounds or disabilities,
asked Mr.. Platt (who had objected to the
second reading OF the billy to withdraw his
objection.
Mr.. Platt said he could not object to the
bill being read a second time and referred
to a committee.
Mr.. Blair said he had introduced the bill
in entire good faith. He understood that
in North Carolina there were to-day 10000
ex.soldiers OF the C~onfederacy who had lost
limbs in the service and that a very large
number OF them we're in poor circumstances.
1t seemed to him if the Government under
this Administration, or under any other
administration gave appointments to men
who had been disloyal, preference should
be given to those who had served in a Con-
| federate asylum and were o disabled
(other things being equa). The debate was
| conducted up to 2 O'Clock, when the bill
went over till tomorrow without action.
Speeches were made by Senators Platt,
Hale, Berry, Blair. Hoar. Riddleberger.
| Hampton, George, Henderson, Daniels and
| Hawley. The Southern Senators, while ex-
pressing the kindliest feeling for the gen.
crosby and philanthropy which had
prompted the introduction Of the bill, dis
| claimed al desire On the part OF ex-Con-
federates for the passage Of any such ex-
| ceptional measure, but thought that as a
matter OF courtesy and uniformity OF prac-
| tice, the bill should be read a second time
and referred. Northern Senators were of
one accord in condemning the measure as
| unwise and ll-considered

ers was Professor G.. c. Swallow an! from
his remarks we quote - fellows: He said

the Territory, and it cost 500. Goa, willie
now the same mill could br built lyr $50

not live on quartz, and because Of this
many had deserted their claims; but sju,e
the railroads came three years ago, all his
had changed, and the small miner could
take his ore to custom furnaces.
At Helena they were gOing to build reluc-

as the famous works at Swan ca, England.

Tt Proves veryPleasing to an lmpecunious

Harper's Magazine: His Rplendor the
prince Mikhail Andreievitch M cried the

St. Petersburg.
"Will your s~plendor be good enough to
follow me? His majesty Is awaiting you

lain, irving hard to conceal t. surprise
which he evidently felt at seeing that the
prince, usually so magnificent in silk and
velvet and blazing with jewels whenever he
came to court, was now clad in a plain and
not particularly new military uniform.
Rut there was good cause for this sudden
eclipse OF Ibis spleudor.' The Cars
court, at that time one Of the most brill.
liant and luxurious in Europe, was not the
place for a man like poor Prince NJ. to save
money. He was now so deeply nd"b that
he could not even obtain credit for Il court
suit, and had consequently ceased to ap.
near at the palace until the Gar, guessing
what was wrong with his old friend sent a
carriage to fetch him.
Entering the library Prince VI. found
| himself face to face with a tall. tinr-loOkins
man in the prime of life, whose ruddv cheek
| and bright blue eyes showed little outward
| sign of the terrible responsibilities which
were then weighing so heavily upon Alex,
ander |. of Russia.
"Mikhail Andreievitch," said the Gar,
| after a few friendly words, II have book
here of my own composition upon which
should like to have your opinion. Takeit
home with o and see what you think Of
it,"
This request greatly amazed the Prince,
who was "a much better judge Of sauc or

when he opened the Cars work on his way
home and found that every leaf was a

other branches OF the great t~ranscontinen-

road activity in Montana this year will
have Butte as a center and objective point,
and there is very little doubt that the
strategic advantages to the Northern Pa

importance and first deserving OF atten-
ton. With the decided saving in distance
Butte may be reasonably certain OF enjoy
ing as low freight tariffs in the near future

fairness, and it will not be necessary for her
to seek connection with Fort Benton by an
independent line so as to secure a fourth
transportation system to the East, as the
Free Press suggests.

ROWAN County, Kentucky, has become
notorious all over the country for the
feuds among certain OF its citizens that
have parallclcl anything ever written
about the Corsican vcndettas. it rose to
such a pitch of notoriety that the Ken
lucky Legislature, at the beginning of its
session three months ago, appointed a
committee to investigate the subject and
devise a remedy. That committee has Just
made a report and the remedy it proposes
for the lawlcssness there is a heroic one,
being such as is grueralIy applied in the
cure of Il mad dog. The report proposes
the abolition Of the county entirely, and
its division between the two counties from
which it was segregated. 1t refects'severely
upOn the Judge OF the County Court for
weakness on the bench and upon the Grand
and petit juries for not only failing to in
dict the lawless element but instigating the
prosecution of persons they knew to be
innocent. From August, 1884, to June,
1887, it appears there were twenty muir
ders and assassinations and sixteen people
wounded in the McCoy-Hattield feuds that
were waged with such virulence and in those
three years not a single conviction for muir
der had taken place there, though two men
had been sent to the penitentiary for horse
t~ealing.

Rich Strike Yesterday in t&e Harris and
Lloyd Funnel.

As is well known to all the people OF
Butte the owners Of the Harris & Lloyd
tunnel have been working hard and ex-
pending all the money they had in order to
develop the property. They felt sure from
the vein they had struck above that a
richer one could be found at a greater
depth. Accordingly they sunk 70 feet
deeper, making a total depth OF ITO feet,
and then cross-cut. The cut is in about 25
feet from the shaft and yesterday an ore
body of exceeding fine copper glance Of
about three feet was encountered but the
walls are not yet in sight. Mr.. Lloyd is
entirely satisfied with the find, and saws
that for some time past he and his asso-
ciatcs AVE been working for a purchaser,
but that now any one who desires to buy
will have to hunt them UP.
