 MT. cleveland-Another Dull Day in
 the senase-onIy an Hour and Twenty
 Minutes of Work.
 WASHINGTON, May 24-The time of the house yesterday was taken up in discussing the postoftice appropriation bill Final action was deferred
 The house passed senate bills granting right of way through the Lac de Flambeau Indian reservation, in Wisconsin, to the Mil waukee, Lake Shore and Western Railroad company, and authorizing the Leavenworth City and Fort Leavenworth Water company to purchase portion of the Fort Leaven- worth military reservation The house then went into committee of the whole on the postoffice appropriation bill
 Mir. Blount explained that the bill carried an appropriation of S60, ,0S5, $40, or an in crease of $4,S41, 19O for the current fiscal year, made necessary by the enlargement of the service. Of this sum S650,607 is appro- priated for light and fuel at third class offices, an increase of s55O, 900 for clerks in postoffices and an increase of s777, 800 for the free delivery service.
 Mr. Perkins, of Kansas, criticized it, say ing that the present administration had dis crlminated against the western country.
 Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts, thought that the government was paying the railroads SS,OOO,OO0 or S6, ,000, 900 year more than it ought to pay.
 During the discussion Mir. Belden, of New York, remarked that the trouble with the postoffice department lay in the civil service reform policy.
 Mr. Cookery, of Missouri, said that he was in favor of the doctrine that the party in power should be responsible to the people
 Mir. Bingham, of Pennsylvania, said that the gentleman was in accord with the admin istration in his views on civil service reform Almost all the postmasters in the country had been changed
 MT. Dockery said that the gentleman would find before November came that all the wings of the Democratic party would be Tapping together and that the Democratic party would re-elect Grover Cleveland, not withstanding that some of us may not agree with him in regard to civil service reform | MT. Kerr-Win you elect him on a civil service platforma
 : Mir. Dockery-OhI I suppose so. There is no trouble about that We will elect him. Iaughter)
 The session of the senate yesterday was dull and brief, only one hour and twenty minutes being occupied in the transaction of business in both regular and secret session
 MT. McPherson introduced joint resolu- tion, which was referred, providing for medals for officers and enlisted men of the three months service in 1861.
 The senate, on motion of Mir. Sherman, went into secret session
 The doors were reopened at 1:20, and after some routine business had been disposed oi NIT. Spconer rose and, referring to the death of tbe wife of Senator Sawyer, said that as senators desired to attend the funeral he moved that the senate adjourn.

DIR. I. W. JOYCE CHOSEN BISHOP

He Is an Ohio Man, and Has Never Held
 Higher Church onace Than That of
 EIder-Drs. Goodsen and Newman Com-
 petitors for Next P1aoe.
 NEW YORK, May A-The election ma chinery of the Methodist Episcopal church turned out another bishop yesterday in the person of Rev. I. w. Joyce, D. D., of Gin cinnati Dr. Joyce received 326 of the AZ votes cast, or twenty-six more than the num- Der necessary to a choice.
 Upon the announcement of Dr. Joyce's election the balloting was resumed, and con- tinued throughout the session. An intimation that fraud had been practiced, coupled with warning against a repetition of the offense, served to give spice to proceedings that were otherwise somewhat tedious.
 Bishop Bowman stated that it was believed the number of votes cast had, in one instance at least, exceeded the number of voters pres ent. This was in the third ballot, which re- suited in the election of Bishops Vincent and Fitzgerald.
 Four hundred and fifty-nine votes were cast, but that number exceeds the number of delegates who are actually present in the city. In subsequent ballots the vote was very much less. The discrepancy, however, was not sufficient to invalidate the election. Despite Bishop Bowman's warning there were found among the tickets deposited in the seventh ballot yesterday pretty clear evidences of a purpose to perpetuate frauds.
 Dr. John P. Newman was the central figure in the contest yesterday. He led in every ballot, and each time his vote was greater than before; indeed, he has gained from the start, except in one instance.
 Never more than five votes behind Dr. Newman, and once on an equality with him, was the Rev. Dr. D. A. Goodsell. and it looked very much as if these two were to be chosen for the bishoprics not yet bestowed. The Rev. Isaac W. Joyce, D. D., who was elected bishop yesterday, was born in Hemil- ton county, O., about fifty years ago. He | was admitted to the Northwest Indiana con- ference in 1859, and has never held any office in the church other that of presid- ing elder. His success in the pastorate began with his appointment to a charge at Greencastle, Ind, the seat of De Pauw university. Here he became very popular with the students. Since 1880 he has been pastor in Cincinnati and is now in his second term as pastor of St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal church in that city, He was delegate to the general conference in 1880, and is a member of the present confer ence. He received his literary degree from Indiana Asbury university and was made a doctor of divinity by Dickinson college,
