THERE WILL BE NO RECESS.
The House VIII BE Nominally In SEES
sion All Next Week.

The committee on rules did not consider the
question of recess of the House, which has
been asked for by about 100 members who
want to attend the Grand Army encampment
at Boston.
The understanding is that there will be no
recess taken, but that there VIM be no objec-
ton to requests for leaves of absence for those
who want to go.
1t is expected that from Monday until Thurs
day there will be no quorum in the House.
An effort will probably be made to secure the
attendance Of quorum on Monday to dispose
Of the pending vote on the motion to table the
reconsideration of the recommittal of the At
kinson bill.
MIR. Morse tried to get the resolution before
the House this afternoon for a recess from Sat-
urday over until Thursday, but the Speaker re-
fused to recognize him.

Betting Increases Thieviny.

Paris Dispatch TO the Loudon Daily Telegraph
Since betting became fashionable among
shop assistants and errand boys in Paris thefts
and embezzlements from employers have be-
come painfully numerous. This was the prin-
cipal reason that influenced the government to
suppress the Paris mutuel system. which took
equally the sou of the workman and the
Napoleon that some larcenous counter skipper
had distracted from his employers till. Two
cases at this moment are before the police at
Passy. A journeyman butcher stole / 200 francs
from his master and lost the whole in backing
horses. He is now in custody. young
diamond mounter stole 100. 900 francs worth
of diamonds out Of the shop where he was en-
ployed, sold them, and lost the money on the
race course. He disappeared the day the dis
covery was made, and the detectives are now
on his track. So numerous have these thefts
become that M. Dupouy, the district superin-
tendent of police, has instructed a vigorous
search to be made to find out whether the il
legal Pari-mutuel is not still carried on secretly
i'll cafes in the neighborhood.

THE COURT BILL.
A Minority Report Favors Making Three
Divisions Of the Supreme Court.

The views Of the minority OF the Senate com.
mittee on Judiciary upon the bill reported a
few days by the majority for the organization
OF circuit courts Of appeal. in order to relieve
the Supreme Court of the accumulation Of
business upon its docket, were presented to-
day. They are signed by Messrs.
Edmunds, Ingalls, and Vest Their principal
objection to the bill proposed by the majority
is that it excludes from review by the Supreme
Court cases in which the jurisdic-
ton Of the national courts depends
upon the character Of the suitors, where it is
invoked by citizens of different states or
by aliens. The protection of citizen Of
one state against any local bias
that might exist against him in
another and distant community is. the
minority think, even more important than the
consideration by national court subjects aris-
Ing out of the construction and effect of the
Constitution, or Of national law. They
say: 1--WE believe it to be more important to
the best interests of the whole people in
every part Of the republic that every
suitor in the courts of the states
should have an equal right to
take the Judgment of the highest court Of the
Union upon his particular case, be i. great Or
small. But we think that the Supreme Court
may, without excluding from its consider
alton any case that now by law may be
brought to its consideration, dispose speedily
of all causes that may be upon its calendar
from year to year. We think this can be
done, as in one form or another it is done in
the states and in other countries, by
providing that the Supreme Court snail hear
causes coming to its appellate jurisdiction by
acting in separative divisions Of three or more
justices, and thus going on with three hearings
at the same time"
The minority argue that this plan is consti.u-
tional and within the power of Congress to en-
force.
In conclusion they say that while the scheme
proposed by the majority may possibly relieve
the Supreme Court it will by that much dimin-
ish the speedy disposal of causes in the courts
below and have the practical effect only of re-
lieving blockade in one quarter by enlarging
it in many others.
Accompanying the report was the draft of a
preme Court be divided into divisions of three
or more to hear and determine causes

Pressure on the President From Those
Opposed to Mr.. BIaine's Idea.

President Harrison 10 being subjected to .
tremendous pressure to prevent his sending q
message to Congress in accordance with the
general understanding after the conference at
Cape May Point.
Those who at first triedto make him take
sides against Mr.. Blaine are now doing all they
can to induce him to remain silent, letting the
general understanding that be approves Of the
reciprocity amendment suffice as an indorse-
ment Of the plan.
They urge that any message on the subject
will in some way discredit the Mckinley bill
and will necessarily commit him to
Mr.. Blaine's plan and fx upon
him responsibility for If should
it prove less advantageous than it now looks
II ID urged also that II he sends the message
the Blaine letters and the message will be read
by the democrats on the stump for the en-
barrassment of republican campaigners who
defend the Mckinley bill
No effort will be spared by Mr.. Blaine's ad-
versaries to have undone all that was done at

From the Philadelphia Press.
Ann Rump, said to be the oldest colored
woman in Delaware county, died Sunday night
She was born in 1892 and for several years past
has been employed as janitress at the post
Office in Chester. Her mind was clear up to
the time of her death and she always delighted

of her meeting Gen. Lafayette on his last visit

wonderful memory. During the bi-centenniai
celebration in this city in October, 1882, a rep

given. Justice John ]. O'Hare of South Chester
took the character of Penn and as he stepped

belOus. colonial newspaper charged a shire
councillor with having ''tiddly-winked the

ter was carried on appeal to the highest tri-
bunal in the colony, with the aforesaid results
Some fifty English dictionaries were brought
into court to enable the judges to ascertain
what was the real meaning of the word, but
tiddly-winking" WAS not discoverable in any
of them So they accepted the definition of a
witness, that the phrase conveyed to his mind
the idea of using little lodges to obtain ones
own ends" An imputation of that sort the
court decided, was not necessarily Iibslous.

The Corporation and the Rats.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
1t is calculated that 5000 rats have been
killed during one week at the BIRMINGHAM
Market Hall and the slain have been found
everywhere, under stalls, in poultry baskets
and hour pots and even in the open streets. A
provision merchant in Philip street pened his
doors the other morning and found thirty-one
rats lying dead near 10 a butter tub, in which
there Was water. The manner in which the
animals deeompose under the new treatment
is peculiar. The body swells first OF All ana
within nve days collapses again and becomes
perfectly Hat The rats killed q week ago
would be perfectly unrecognizable but for their
heads Tho bodies have lost shape altogether.
II TINS method OF destroying the permin had
not been discovered the city would have been
put to considerable expense. So extensive
were the ravages OF the rats that the market
and fairs committee had decided upon lifting
the flooring OF all the markets and relaying
them with cement That would have meant an
outlay OF many hundreds Of pounds The cor
poration paid TO its market officials penny
for every rat destroyed, and a few wears ago
the number annually killed reached 1. O00-rep-
resenting in itself sum of gi6.
