colossal total of over eight hundred and eighty
nine million pieces of mail matter handled by
his subordinatcs. of which over three hundred

Chicago enjoyed only short-lived victory
in its campaign TO secure the Worlds Fair.
Yesterday the action of the House in refusing
to appoint a special committee on the subject
was reversed, and by vote of 40 to 1876 such
a committee was created and the Committee
on Foreign Affairs relieved Of responsibility
in this field. 1t is unfortunate that the con-
troveIsy in the House has engendcred some
bitterness. No matter where the Fair is held,

WASHINGTON, April 26.-The two most
important measures ON the House cal
endar are the Silver bill and the Nc
Kinley Tariff bill. There is to be no
delay, Republican leaders say, in pass
ing either.
The programme is to take.up the Sill
yer bill next week and pass it after a
two days debate.
The passage of the Silver bill is to be
followed by the Morrill, Pension bill,
which appropriates SIC, 600, 900 annually
in addition to the regular appropria-
ton for this purpose. To this measure
one day will be devoted.
Following this will come the Mckinley
Tariff bill. The general debate on this
measure it is said will be limited to six
days and tho debate under the Ave min
ute rule to ten days more, making in
all 16 Legislative days.
It is doubtful however if the RepubH-
cans can dispose of the measure within
the period agreed upon. The Democrats
will insist upon a longer time, and it
may be q month before the measure
shall be disposed of and sent over to
the Senate

Committees at Work To-Day to End the

CHICAGO, April e6.-The Master Car
penters and Builders Association have
consented to conference with commit
tees from the CitiSens' Association, the
new Bosses Association and striking
carpenters this afternoon with a view
TO bringing the strike to an end.
The old masters in promising to meet
the three committees made the one con-
dition that they should come separately
and appointed the time for each. This
10 the first concession made by the
masters. If a plan of arbitration is
reached to-day It will take nearly a
week to settle all the questions in dis
puts.
Thomas Gilmore, non-union car
penter, while on his way to do some re-
pairing on q house at Fortythird street

half-dozen union carpenters, knocked

New HAVEN, Conn, April 26.-The
spectacle of a man horsewhipping a
woman in the public streets is not one
often witnessed, but that was just the
sight to which the residents of this
city were treated.
Louis Busch, German bookkeeper,
has for some time lived unhappily with
his wife. Stories of unfaithfulness
had crept into the homo Of the couple,
and Buschswas determined to seek out
their foundation and ascertain for him
self if they were based on good
grounds.
EARLY in the morning he secured evil
dence sufficient to warrant him in be-
ieving the stories that had been told
him, and when his wife left home he
followed her with the purpose of watch
ing her footsteps. His suspicious were
confirmed, and without warning he ap-
preached her on the street, and draw
ing a horsewhip from under his coat,
dashed his wife in cruel manner. He
was only prevented from his brutal
work by policeman, who took him
into custody.

ing Hold to Settle the Chicago Strike.
CHICAGO, April 26.-Six thousand rail-
road employees will probably strike next
week. The prospective strikers are
members of the Federation of Railway
Employees; that includes the locomotive
engineers, conductors, fremen, switch
men and braksmen on the principal
trunk lines.
The Switchmen's Association pre-
sented a request to the managers of the
roads centering here for an eight hour
day, and the request was promptly re-
fused. The Federation has championed
the cause of the switchmen, and it is
reported that the Executive Council
now sitting here has secretly decided to
strike next Monday.
The movement will be directed first
against the Pennsylvania Company,
which employs 1 100 members of the
Federation. A strike among these men
will mean a tie-up of the Pennsylvania
system between Chicago and New York
on both the Pan Handle and Fort Wavne
routes.
Five thousand members of the Fedora
tion are employed on other lines, and q
strike will at once involve every road
running into Chicago.
The strikers will boycott all Pennsyl-
vania line cars, so that the switchmen
of other roads will refuse to handle the
cars of that SYSTEM as in the Burling-
ton strike. Then the freight handlers
employed in Chicago and other cities
reached by the Pennsylvania will re-
fuse to touch the boycotted goods, and
the business interests Of Chicago, Pitts
burg, New York and Philadelphia will
be seriously affected. If the LOO FEEDER
alton employees on the Pennsylvania
cannot force the company to grant the
the 5000 members Of the Federation
working on other roads will add their
strength to the movement by joining
the Pennsylvania strikers.

AUBURN, N. Y, April 26.-Kemmler,
the man who is condemned to die by
electricity next week, shows no sign of
weakening, in truth, he seems to note
all proceedings and final arrangements
with an air of abandon that shows him
to be a man of almost iron nerve.
He does not allow himself to contem-
plate his fate, but busies himself in
whistling, singing, writing his auto
graph and listening to his keeper read
from the Bible or some popular periodi-
cal. He takes part in religious SER
vices daily and manifests fervor that is
surprising to others who-participate.
