Matters That Will Engage the Attention
of Congress this Week.

- NohSiteS lfls week.
WASHINGTON, January 29th.-The educa-
ton bill remains, as for three weeks past,
unfinished business of the Senate for to-
morrow, and Senator Morgan has the floor
tor speech on it. 1t is likely to give place
temporarily tomorrow or Tuesday for the
House bill making appropriations for agri-
cultural experiment stations. If the edu-
cation bill is brought to vote before the
end of the week it will probably be sue
ceeded by the dependent pension bill. Sem
ators kenna and Platt are understood to
contemplate the delivery of speeches on the
tariff and surplus during the week.
The urgent deficiency appropriation bill
will be reported to the House at the begin
ming of the week, and its consideration will
consume day or two. The Wilkins ma
tional bank bill stands first in the order of
unfinished business, but unless its author
RECEIVERS from his illness in time to give it
attention, it will give place to a resolution
assigning Unlimited period of time for the
consideration of large number of bills for
the erection of public buildings.
This proposition will be vigorously op-
posed by small minority, and if not dis
posed of by Thursday it will then be sent
back again to the calendar, as the Elections
Committee intends to call up the Lowry VS..
White Indiana election) case on Thursday.
which will possibly consume the remainder
of the week.
The pension appropriation bill, which is
privileged matter, may be called up for ac-
tion during the week, and the Committee
on Foreign Affairs will make an effort to
take up the French Exposition bill, if op-
portunity offers.

instructed its Chairman, Representative
Campbell of Ohio, to call the Speakers at

New YORK, January 29th.-Very little
progress was made yesterday in raising the
snow blockade in New England. The
weather was intensely cold and the wind
high, so that as fast as the snow-plows or a
gang OF shovelers cleared the way for the
trains through the snow-drifls the wind
piled up the snow again as bad as ever.
Disabled snow -ploYs and locomotives are
strung along nearly every road. At Hous-
atomic coach and caboose containing forty
shovelers was upset and fifteen men were
hurt.
In New York many large towns have
been without communication for three
days. 1t will require many days of mod
crate weather and an infinite amount of
hard work TO restore travel to its normal
condition. Many points report the coldest
weather in half century. The New York
milkmen are notifying their customers
that they cannot supply them until the
snow blockade is raised.

The wind at Sandy Hook for several days
has been blowing at from forty to sixty
miles an hour. The Pennsylvania and
Wisconsin were the only liners that made
port on Friday. Their Captains tell stories
of waves mountains high and bowling
gales. large number of sailing vessels
were bound in when the storm commenced
but they were forced to turn about and
speed to sea before the gale. No serious
accidents were reported.

KNOXVILLE (Tenn.), January 29th.-A
shooting atfray occurred here this morning
in front of st. Johns Episcopal Church
which resulted in the wounding of three
men, one of them fatally. As James Y.
Rule, city editor of the Knoxville Journal
was entering the church accompanied by
his wife, he was accosted by three men who
wanted TO speak with him. He walked to
the opposite side of the street with them,
where all four stood talking some minutes.
The three men were John West, William
West and a friend of theirs named Good
man.
THREE AGAINST ONE.
They attacked Rule on account of a
communication which appeared in the
morning Journal rejecting upon DR.. t. A.
West. City Physician, and father of John
and William West Rule refused to give
the name of the author of the communica-
ton, or to make any satisfactory answer to
their questions. West struck Rule and at
tempted to bear him to the ground. Rule
drew a revolver and shot John West
through the body. William West immedi-
ately fired on Rule, the ball passing
through Rules wrist. John West then cut
Rule IN the back seven times. William
West placed his revolver at Rules fore
head and fired, but Rule knocked the pis-
tol up. receiving only scalp wound. Rule
then fired two more shots, one of them
taking effect in the shoulder of Goodman.
who seemed 10 be attempting to separate
the combatants
AFTER THE BATTLE.
A number of men rushed from the
church and stopped the fight. William
West ran away uninjured. Rule was able
to get up and walk to the church, but John
West was carried home in dying condi-
ton. Rules injuries are not dangerous,
and Goodman is not seriously wounded.
Rules wife, who had entered the church,
knew nothing of the difficulty till all was
over. The organ drowned the noise of the
pistol shots.
The circumstances which called out the
newspaper article was the election yester-
day of DR.. T. A. West as City Physician
by the City Council. West is not a gradu-
ate of medical college, and the Council
had repealed an ordinance for the purpose
of making him eligible This act aroused
the indignation of the regular physicians
of the city, and was denounced by the
Medical Society.
The article which caused the bloody
atfray was written by physician and con-
tanned very severe reflections upon DR..

treaty. He does not think there can be
any objection to reporting his new bill i'm

Senate and is open to amendment, then tae
abrogation of the treaty can be moved as
an amendment. Stewards bill is as fol-

Cleveland Said to be Losing Ground in

New YORK January 29th-1he police,
who know what is going on in Democratic
State politics, say that Cleveland's chances
of securing the delegation from New York
to the Democratic National Convention are
growing less as the weeks roll on. Good
judges say that the opposition to Cleveland
is now better organized than it was four
years ago. Hills friends here make no
secret of the fact that he is candidate for
the Presidential nomination. He has the
support of the Tammany leaders, and the
nomination of ex-Mayor Cooper or Mayor
Hewitt might bring the support of the
County Democracy, which faction the
President has been taking such good care of.
