spondent of the New York Tribune says:

its scope may be gained from a few adject-

The house committee on territories has
reported bill enabling the territories of
Arizona, Idaho and Wyoming to- become
states. The bill does not propose to admit
the three new states so promptly as the five
states proposed IN tne OMNIBUS Dill, winch
has already passed the house, but it proposes
that they shall all be in the Union in season
to take part in the presidential election of
1892. If these two bills are passed. this
congress will have the credit of increasing
the number of stars on the flag from thirty
eight to forty-six by the admission of South
Dakota North Dakota, Montana, Washing
ton, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho and wy
oming. These states will add sixteen sena-
tors and nine representatives to the mem
bership of congress, and under the census
of 1890 this number may be increased. Only
four sections of territory within the boun-
diaries of the United States will then be out
side the circle of the states-Utah, the
Indian Territory, Oklahoma and the Dis
trict of Columbia The bill proposes that
in the three territories named delegates to a
constitutional convention shall be elected
next November; that the conventions shall
meet in January, 1890, and that the elections
under the new constitution shall be held in
November of that year. The members of
congress and the state officers chosen are to
take their seats as soon as the constitutions
are approved by congress. 1t is provided in
the bill that provision shall be made in the
state constitutions for system of public
schools. The delegates of the several ter
rtories are enthusiastic over the bill and
propose to do all they can to push it through.

THE electoral vote was counted last
week Wednesday before both houses in Joint
committee. The counting of the vote re-
quired an hour and TWENTY-FIVE minutes
1t was the first time that the electoral vote
was counted under the new law of 1888
-Four years ago Senator Edmunds occupied
the chair, and by his guarded and curious
wording of the final declaration of the
counts gave rise to a good deal of unfaVor-
able comment and dissatisfaction. Wednes-
day Senator ingalls, presided, following
strictly the forms and intent of the new law.
-Four years ago the family and friends of
President Arthur occupied prominent seats
in the executive gallery, but this year the
presidential bench was unpleasantly con-
spicuOus by its vacant cushiOnS-an impo-
tent, spteful protest, it seemed, against the
proceedings. The result, as announced by
Senator ingalls,, showed that Benjamin
Harrison and Levi =. Morton had received
two hundred thirty-three Of the four hum
bred one votes cast, against one hundred
sXty-eight for Grover Cleveland and Allen
G., Thurman.
A CARGO of tariff bills was unloaded on
the house last Saturday. Four bills were
reported-by Mr.. McMillin OF the ways and
means committee, by Mr.. Breckenridge of
Tennessee, and the Randall and Forney bills
from the committee on appropriations All
four went to the committee of the whole
and will follow each other on the calendar
in the order named. 1t is estimated that
the McMilin bill will reduce the revenue
S72,0O0,0O0 year. The aggregate reduction
proposed by the Breckenridge bill is SAL
10000, of which Sl7 1881 900 is credited to
tobacco Both measures have received the
sanction of the democratic members of the
ways and means committee. The Randall
bill, which will be supported by the repub-
licans, reduces the revenue about S33, 600 900.

Goes " the Bell.

On Diamond street last Sunday, when all the
Swells were rolling out toward the park behind
their speedy trotterS, says the Philadelphia
Record, a Salowfaced young fellow got into mis-
on tgy near Twentieth street, and taking the
reins in his hand cautiously pulled a little bell
twice and the horse started Off Some of his
friends are wondering where ne got the horse,
which is fine animal, but has curious tricks.
One of them who knows is telling a very funny
story about it.
1t seems that the young man went out in the
country few months ago and while there saw
the horse and purchased it. A few Sundays ago
he hltched him to buggy and started with his
best girl for rive. They managed to get as
far as Diamond street, and then. for some IN
known reason, the horse refused to move The
younE man was in an awful quandary. He
whipped the horse until his arm was tir ID aud
then he got out and tried TO lead him, but the
animal was obdnrate. The girl got out ami
walked away in hig1 dudgoon, and the crowd
which had assembled enjoyed the situation
hugely. l. took about four hours to haul the
animal to the stable, and the next day tae
young man was out to seq the man who sold him
the horse.
oh, he's all right" said the dea Ter, ''but you
don't k ow how to WORK him. He's been haul
ing all his life, and won't go unless he
ears The b H.
Ever since then the young man has had a regu-
lation car-btll on the dash ard of the buggy.
When he wants to start he rings the bell twice
md one ring brings the baa It to an abrupt stand
still But he still has many diff ,ulteS to con-
tend with. The horse, remembering his early
educat on viii only stop at street crossings, and
a bag of oats would not bring him to a halt in
the middle of the block. The other day the
young man went out for drive and got onto
Ridge avenue. When he tried to turn into
,ir,r avenue he found that the horse would
not turn out of the car trace, and he was com
PEELED to proceed to the depot
