A Sensation at the Grand Last Evening
 Planation and DIsmisses the Audi
 ence, Who Applaud His Course.
 An unexpected event occurred at the Grand last evening and Manager Bunnell is, for the present at least, out $100, which he advanced to the members of the Gussie Bellwood com pany, which were to appear at that house last evening, but failed so to do. On Tuesday evening Fred Shattuok, Charles Lorraine, Nullally and Daley and J. J. Byrnes, mem- bers of the company, stated to MT. Bunnell that Manager Falls was behind in their sala- ries, and the former advanced the members of the company $10O. Last evening just be- fore the curtain rose the same members of the company tried to induce Mir. BunEell to lend them more money, but this he refused to do, whereupon these members of the com- pany refused to act, and consequently no show was given. John J. Burns also carried off the music of the orchestra, and MT. Bun- nell mounted the stags and stated the facts of the case to the audience. His course in the matter was heartily approved by the au- dience in enthusiastic applause. Mir. Bunnell stated that rather than attempt to proceed with an inferior performance he would re- fund all their money, and recommended the audience to patronize the show at Proctor's opera house last evening, 'Mr. Barnes of New York" MT. Bunnell's course in the matter was forced upon him and he took the only course left open to him. The audience pres ent numbered about ,00O

THE FIFTY-FlRsr CONGRESS.

 mr. Plumb Gives Notice That He Will
 To-Day Ask She Senate to Consider
 k1is Resolution as to an Increase of
 siAver ColnaEe-Passage of tho RilI
 t0 Provide for a Temporary Govern.
 ment Tor the Territory of OkIah0ma.
 WAsH1raTaN. D. O., April 23.-In the She senate to-day Mr. Plumb gave notice that nc would tomorrow ask the senate to con- sider his resolution as to an increase of silver coinage.
 MT. Regan addressed the senate in support of his bill fntroduced last Monday to repeal all laws for the retirement of offers of the army, navy, marine corps and of the judici- ary from active service on pay. He said that in introducing the bill he had acted in obedience to clear and strong conviction Of duty, free from any unkindness of feeling toward any of the classes referred to in it. He felt bound to do what he could to pre- serve the constitutional system of the gov. ernment in its purity and to restore, if possible, equality of right in all citizens, 50 t1et each should enjoy the fruits of his own labor, and so that no one should be allowed privileges and emoluments not com- mon to all.
 toso P1osonteQ Gne conference report on the senate bill to provide temporary government for tho territory of Oklahoma.
 The reading of the report, which is in the form of substitute for the entire bill and an hour.
 Mr. Vest spoke of the conference bill as the most 1noongruous, heterogeneous and contra. dictory piece of legislation he had ever seen. The whole bill seemed to have been got up hafa to othello's story. It seemed as if every body wno came along with suggestion got it into the Dill. If the senator from Connecticut thought 1t consistent with the dignity of tho senate of which they heard 50 much, he had no objection. In his judgment it was an outrage on legislation and if he had the pow CT he would defeat the conference report.
 Mr. Jones of Arkansas, one of the confer- ees, said that he had heard or read that a man had to serve time in every trade ex. oept censure, but that critics were already made. The remarkable criticism of the sem ator from Missouri on the bill had been to him absolutely astonishing. He went on to reply in detail to MT. Vests criticisms and to defend the action of the conference oom- mittee.
 MT. Butler moved to recommit the report, but the presiding officer ruled that the mo. tion was not in order, as a conference com- m1ttee was discharged soon as it's report was made. The report should be either agreed to or rejected. The question was put and the report agreed to-yeas 50, nays (Senators Butler, Boekrell, Pugb, Qaay and Westl
 The bill now goes to the president for his signature.
 The following bills among others were taken from the calendar and passed.
 The house joint resolution as to an appro- priation of $10,0 600 for the ofice of the second assistant postmaster general.
 The house joint resolution authorizing the use and improvement of Castle Island in Boston harbor.
