Mr.. Oates of Alabama, offered resolu-
ton for final adjournment on the 18th inst,
and il was laid over until tomorrow.
Mr.. Dougherty of Florida, asked unani-
nous consent for the immediate considera-
ton of the Senate resolution relative to the
conference to he held to inquire into meth
ods for the suppression of yellow fever.
Mr.. Z. b. Taylor of Ohio objected, and
reiterated his statement that no more legisla-
ton should be enated during this session.
Mr.. Wheeler of Alabama, offered the fol-
lowing for reference:
Whereas, The Senate of the United States
has reported bill to revise the tax laws,
which bill is more oppressive to the masses
of the people and more in the interest of the
monopolist than any measure ever proposed
to any Legislative body, of which we have a
record, Therefore be it
| Resolved, That the democratic members
of this House pledge themselves TO continue
| their efforts to defend the people against
| this unequal, unjust and unwise legislation,
which if enacted into law must inevitably
check aud limit the sale of American pro-
ducts in fofeign countries, stimulate and
strengthen operations of combinations and
trusts, and prolong, if not perpetuate. the
subjection of the people TO the exactions OF
an accumulated capital; and the democratic
members of this Congress will maintain the
contest upon this floor until the victory is
won, OF the duties with which they have beer
charged by the people, lapse by constitutions
al limitation; and be it also
Resolved, That the Senate tariff bill should
be discussed upon this floor to the end thai
its features may be exposed and made knowr
10 the people.
The reading of the resolution was inter
rupted by Mr.. Dingley of Maine, with the
remark that the resolution was not one con
templated bv the rules, but was caucu,
resolution. 1t was not resolution whict
could be adopted by either house.

The wap Inauguratsd by the Director
Goen Merrily On.

Goes Merrily On.
CHICAGO, July 2s.-The war inaugurated
by the Directors of the Board of Trade goes
merrily on. and it appears now, II tne
movement to suspend all who trade IN Puts
and calls is carried out, the board VIII lose
some of its leading lights. Thursday the
committee appointed TO investigate the pu'
and call business was quietly drawing
members upstairs to the pumping ROOM
Among the earliest called, according to
the information on the floor, were Ream,
Roach, Lindblom and Stautfer. They were
besieged on their return to the floor, but
had little to say. Ii was thought that
about ten others, among whom were Far
mum, Logan, Edwards and Bennett, were
pumped during the morning. Whatever
may be the revelations, it is certain that
the ''inauisition" caused considerable hut-
tering during the session.
When the committee adjourned, after an
examination of fifteen members OF the
Board of Trade, one of its members stated
that four of the fifteen acknowledged trad
ing in puts and calls, and that there was
pretty good evidence against them. The
committee members say that they have but
started the Investigation. and that they
expect instructions from the directors TO
proceed with the work There is much
talk and insinuations against certain OH
cials being in the option business, but one
who stands above all suspicion said
that guesswork is far from being evidence,
and that as yet no one was willing 10 be
put under oath and state that any OF the
officers indulged in puts and calls.
At the meeting of the directors no action
was taken on the investigation, and the
board adjourned for one week. 1t now
looks doubtful if the investigation will be
followed up, as it is claimed that any
further steps would involve at least seven
ty-fve per cent. of the members OF the
Board of Trade

CLEVELAND, July 2S.-The worst epi-
demic of glanders that ever occurred In
this State was discovered and reported to
the health office,by ID. p. Ionkerman. He
learned that fifty-two horses, sick with
the glanders or farcy, were in the Brooklyn
barn of the Brooklyn Street Railroad Com
pany, of this city. The information has
been forwarded to the State Commission,
and Secretary Kinseman has wired that the
officials will be in this city this week to
investigate. DIR. Yonkerman said yester-
day morning that he would advise the kill
ing OF the fifty-two horses at once as q
measure of security against the epidemic
DIR. Yonkerman last week was called to Ra-
VIENNA, where he found horse suffering with
the glanders, and the animal was ordered
10 be killed at once. The horse ordered to
be shot was purchased from the Brooklyn
street Railroad Company of this city. The
doctor then visited the Brooklyn stables
of the road. and made u thorough inspec-
ton resulting in the discovery that nine
teen horses in the barn were afflicted. Other
suspected horses had teen sent out to the
company's farm at Brighton. DIR. fonker-
man drove out TO the farm and found thir-
ty-three other horses. all of which, he be-
iieves are afflicted with the disease in a
more or less malignant form. The horses
at the stables were hastily removed to the
farm, where they are being kept thoroughly

fatal if contracted by human being. A
State law fixes penalty of $500 for each

his Affianced at the Altar.

TYNssBoRo, n. H., July 2S.-Miss Jennie
Gould is school teacher aud farmer OF this
town. She is forty years of age, plump,
fair, and highly educated. She teaches
three terms of school year, and between
while carries on farm which she owns, and
which is said TO be worth $1,000 in cold
cash. All of this she has accumulated by
hard work.
Last May Joseph Homblett came to town
to put engines into the factory of s. D..
Chandler & Co. After supper he met Miss
Gould. He was a well to do widower, he
said, forty-five, and very handsome. He
looked at her houses and her barns full of
hay and grain. and then he proposed. 10
the surprise OF all, Miss Gould accepted.
The wedding was fixed for "Wednesday
night. The clergyman came, so did the
guests and band of music. The ceremony
was to take place at seven o'clock, but the
bridegroom did not appear. The supper
was getting cold and the guests were grow
| ing tired, when, at nine o'clock, Engineer
Homblett came in his working clothes. He
and Miss Gould adjourned to private
room. The guests heard them talking and
| heard her crying. At midnight all the
company left for home.
The engineer, it is announced, had wife
| still living, whom he supposed to be dead
| He could not marry. Tears and regrets were
of no avail Miss Gould has engaged hei
| school for another team and will carry on
the farm as usual. Homblett has gone to
| New York with his wife. The village gossip
has let her tongue loose and everybody !:
talking about the wedding that didn't
/ come OFF.

THE COUNCIL PROCEEDS.
No Change in the Sentiments of the In
dians, and They still Refuse to Sign the


Treaty.
SrAxpINs Rock AGENCY. d. T., July 2S.-
SittingsBull is still absent, but the council
is going on Just the same. Judge Wright
occupied some time explaining the provis-
ions of the proposed treaty. He was
listened to respectfully, but as far as can be
learned, no change in the sentiments OF
the Indians has been effected.
Mad Bear and other chiefs talked against
the treaty, but Black Bull, who has already
adopted the ways of white men, and runs q
little farm about ten miles out from the
agency, is willing 10 sign it. Ia the private
council Tuesday night, Gall, Two Bears,
John Grass and other chiefs talked against
the treaty, and declared they would not
sign.
1t will require great deal of argument
to get even u foothold at this agency, and
the commission realizes that it has great
task before it, The Indians will talk as
long as the agent allows them and the ex-
ira rations last. The commissioners are
presenting the case in the strongest possible
way to the Indians. and if dealing with
white people, could close the negotiations
in one day; but tine Indians are suspicious.
They remember the Black Hills treaty.
They realize that they got the worst of 1t
in the sale of the land, and.say that the
white men beat them because they were
smarter, that they intended to'sell only the
ground, and not what was in it. They
they think that perhaps there is great
wealth in the soil that the government now
wants, and that thew are liable to dispose
of it too cheaply That is what Gan means
when he says I'VE must talk SLOW"
