suicide, as he was found dead, suspended

How the Obstinacy of q Congressman
Was Overcome


WAsHrssroN. June u.-When the bill to
re-create the grade of General of the Army
was called up in the House, Mr.. Kilgore,
of Texas was the most persistent obiector
TO its consideration, and there seemed to
be no possible chance to induce him to
withdraw his objection. Some headstrong
members tried 20 bulldoze Mr. Kiieore,
and this only made him the more persist
ent When others had tried to move the
Texan by threats and pleadings without
success, Representative Macdonald, of
Minnesota, warm friend of kilgore's un-
dertook the task.
''Kilgore," said Macdonald, 'T under
stand your opposition. II is not manly
and l am surprised at YOU"
What do you mean?" inquired Kilgore.
u mean that you ought not TO allow
that remark of General Sheridan's to
rankle in your bosom. 1t was doubtless
uttered after long Indian campaign and
before your State had grown to its present
proportions
81 am still in the dark" said Kilgore,
sand would like you to explain yourself?'
81 mean that General Sheridan once said
that ii he owned hell hd Texas, be would
rent out Texas and line in hell Now that
was rough on Texas, but l am sure he
would change his views If he could visit
you now"
Kilgore laughed heartily and remarked:
'Weli, I'll change my views and withdraw
my objection" He did so and the bill
passed.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Senate will
continue consideration of the Fisheries
treaty, aud will pass the postotfice and Dis
trict of Columbia appropriation bills dur
ing the week. The House will devote its
attention to the Mills tariff bill, unless it
should be decreed otherwise by action of
caucus or the Committee on Rules, and
neither is likely.
Efforts Ia go on the calendar or fix days
for any special measures have proven futile
and il now does not seem probable that the
tariff bill will be laid aside even during the
Chicago convention, or that the House will
pause from the Mills bill TO pass appropria-
tons which will become exhausted with the
fiscal year on the 3oth inst.
The majority is bent on completing the
tariff before anything else is done, and it
is likely that joint resolution will be
adopted near the end of this month, con-
tinuing the present appropriations for sew
eral branches of the government, till new
appropriation bills can be passed after the
tariff Is out of the way. The House cal
endar is now composed of 12s pages, an
cluding the index, and has upon il !, 200
measures The Senate calendar has only
% pages, the index included.
