A Dull Week In CONGRESS.

Washington dispatch: There will be
little of interest done in the senate dur
ing the present week. An arrangement
was made several days ago whereby the
democrats who have gone TO the st.
Louis convention were assured that no
proceedings of an important political
character would be had in their absence.
The fisheries treaty has been postponed
until next Monday week.
Tomorrow afternoon Senator Cullom
will address the senate on interstate
commerce. The bill providing for max
ing states ont of Washington, North Da-
kato and Montana is to receive some at
t~ention, and tho diplomatic a%ppropria-
ton bill will probably be taken up be-
fore the end of the week.
The house will proceed on tomorrow
with the considering of the tariff bill,
and Chairman Mills says he hopes there
will be no interruption to- consume any
considerable time until the Measure 10
finally disposed of.
The army appropriation bill may be
passed during the week. Ii will not re-
quire a lengthy debate.
Chairman Allison of the senate COM
mittee on appropriations said to a Unit
ed Press reporter to-day: at will be
a physical impossibility for the senate
to pass the regular appropriation bills
before the end of the present fiscal year,
the 30th inst. We intend to crowd the
measures rs rapidly as possible, but
about half the ten which have not been
acted upou by our committee will not
get through before the end of the
month. The sundry civil, the legisla-
tive, executive and Judicial and the ma
val appropriation bills will be among
| those which will be unfinished at the
end of the fiscal year. | presume there
will be extension of appropriations u
some kind of temporary provisions
made to bridge over the chasm created
by the failure of the house to take &C
ton sufficiently early to enable the sem
ate to complete the appropriations on

Does Not Mind Amandmnnfs

Washington dispatch: Chairman
Mills says the tariff bill will not be laid
aside during the Chicago convention as
was intimated some days ago.. He in
sists that the work of consideration
shall progress steadily, and without in
~terruption until the measure is COM
pleted, Mr.. Mills enthusiasm goes no
and down like the mercury of a Their
mometer carried through hot and cold
cells. He is in a glow of happiness one
hour, while the bill is under considera-
ton by the five minute rule, and as he
moves from party success to defeat and
designation of his bill his atmosphere
goes down. He believes, however, in
the ultimate passage of his bill, and
says he does not care especially about
amendments so far as details are CON
cerned If free wool and two or three
other articles, which he thinks cannot
not be effected, are retained as they
were originally proposed by the com
mittee.

The Coming Republican National Convention.

WASHINGTON, ID. o., June lO.-A
large number of republican congress-
men and senators will leave Washing
ton this week for Chicago. It is ex-
pected that there will be nearly a hun
bred of them absent from their seats
during the convention. Most Of the re-
publicans here from Ohio will depart
for there the middle of this week.
Senator Sherman'S managers are very
active. Some of them are going early
for the purpose of keeping a close look
out after one of their number, Major
Mckinley, who Is regarded rs a dark
horse. Mckinley will leave Washing
ton on Thursday For his home at Can
ton, and join the crowd that will 60
from that section of the state. Mckin-
ley stops at the Ebbitt house here and
is receiving every attention from the
Ohio republicans that they can bestow
upon him. There is so much talk
about Mckinley as a possible dark
horse that it seems necessary for some
one of the Sherman leaders. like Butter
worth, or Grosvenor or Thompson. to
be on guard at all times with Mckinley
and sit mp with him as long as he shows
any disposition to stay up. Whenever
Mckinley is seen around i'll public places,
except possibly the house of representa-
tives, one is almost sure to see one of
the trio named keeping him company.
1t is earnest but ludicrous. Notwith-
standing the careful manner III which
Thompson, Grosvenor and Butterworth
are constantly after Mckinley there is
no Disgusting the fact that they were
greatly annoyed at the prominence that
Mckinley is attaining in connection
with the coming convention. Mckin-
ley receives the personal illusions to
himself with Il modest look of approval,
and when forced to say anything at all
says the nominee will come from Ohio,
and that he is for Senator Sherman.
Ex-senator Malone of Virginia ar
rived in the city last night for the pur-
pose of consulting with Senator Sher-
nan on the presidential outlook. The
republicans of Virginia are harmonizing,
and it is stated that they will come to-
gether and vote solidly for one man at
Chicago, being all inclined to Sherman.
The Sherman headquarters in Chicago
are expected to be the most capacious
of any that will be opened, excepting
possibly those for Alger of Michigan,
and Gresham. Senator Sherman will
have a large number of delegations
from the south assisting about his head
quarters.

London paOers on the nominations.

LONDON dispatch: This mornings
papers, in referring to President Cleve-
lands denomination, says that it is all
in the direction of free trade, and COM
ments arc consequently conSratulatory
in tone. The st. James Gazette says:
The democrats are extremely likely to
have it all their own way Mt the next
election. The republicans have neither
the man nor the cause. The Pail Mall
Gazette speaks even of a third term as a
matter of course, and says: The point
of contest which we feel the most inter
est in this country is the tariff question.
The Star says of the proceedings at st.
Louis: "We may well re-echo the en-
thusiasm on this side of the water. for
the reelection of President Cleveland
means the adoption of a high pro-
gramme of tariff revision, and his idea
on that subject go a long way towards
free trade"

Washington special: Late this after.

will doubtless so through.

TWO CITY ELECTIONS.

Bridgeport Republicans Routed and the Democratic Candidate for Mayor ot Hartford Defeated by Small Majority
 There were two city elections yesterday, one in Bridgeport and the other in Hart ford. In the former city the democrats elected Representative Patrick Coughlin mayor over Charles B. Wheeler, republican by majority of 1,504 O. A. Mooney, democrat, is reelected city clerk by 1,224 majority and the democrats also elect a city treasurer, tax collector and city sheriffs and secure majority in the common coun- cil. In the town election George Watson, democrat, defeated c harles E. Wilmott, republican, for town clerk by 66 majority Wilmott had held the position for years. Emory F. Strong, republican was, defeated by Daniel M. Ford, democrat, for select man by 164 majority. The republicans tried to save these two candidates by trad ing their candidate for mayor but failed even then.
 In the Hartford city election Colonel Chas M. Joslyn, democrat, was defeated for mayor by John G. Root, republican, by 257 votes, but the democrats elected the city clerk, collector and auditor, the com plexion of the common council remaining unchanged. The republicans elected the city treasurer and marshal. The highest democratic maJOfltV% was that or the clty clerk, which was l, ,789. The Telegram says:
 ''That the election was carried for Root means simply that money was poured out like water wherever it was thought it could do good. Up till afternoon there was clear vote and very little money was seen about the polls, but after that hour the mixed 'citizeus ticket was pushed for all it was worth. How was the election ! carried for Root2 It don't require great astuteness to guess. The story is a shame full one and it is none the better that | though Colonel Joslyn is defeated we have a trusted citizen as mayor
 And the Courant says:
 'It is Colonel Joslyn's misfortune that he was slaughtered in the house of his friends, but we leave our democratic brethren to attend to their own wake. Only, as matter of city pride, it is nor tifying to think that a poorer candidate wou1d have rI1n heffer

 LONDON, March 20. 1.-The chief secretary for Ireland was asked last night by Mir A. Pease in the House of Commons whether his attention had been drawn to report which appeared in the pa pers of the 12th of March that at the funeral of MT stephen Joseph Meaney at Ennis, Sunday last, two companies of soldiers who were returning from the funeral singing Rule Britannie" and God Save the Queen alternately and otherwise in demonstratiye manner, displayed their senti- ments of loyalty by waving their helmets at the end of each verse. The officer in command joined officer was Captain Walsh k. M., who with MT Hodder, R. M., was in charge of the police and military during the day. and whether it was correct that demonstrations of a similar charac- ter would be prevented for the furure. The Secretary for War was asked similar question by Mr Cox.
 Mir E. Stanhope replied that the seventy men of the Lancashire Regiment referred to, marched when the.funerai ceremonies were over, to their barracks at Clare Castle, singing as they marched "God Save the Queen and "ltule Britannie, ' (ninisterial cheers) that this was common prac tice of the troops when marching, and that against the practice there was no army regula tlons.

 Mir Dillon gave notice of his intention to move that such high handed proceeding on the part oi the military, was not calculated to preserve the peace. J. D.
