 ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July 1.-Two citizens of Washington were in e tus- sle in barber shop here. They are J. F. Manning, proprietor of the Monu- mental Marble Works, and Cavanaugh K. Kennady, a g, 500 clerk in the Post office Department. They have been on bad terms for four years,
 Manning had just been shaved, and in reaching for his coat he came in contact with Kennady. who sprang up and struck him @ stinging blow in the face. They clinOhed and fought like tigers for few minutes, creating con- sternation in the shop and gpsetting chairs and shawpases and breaking mir TOTS. Manning had the best of it, and finally he threw Kennady, whose collar bone was broken by the fall. They were now rolling on the floor, and when the police arrived they had to tug at the contestants to get them apart.
 They were taken to the City Hall. Kennady was held in $500 bail on a charge of assault and battery. His wife was present and offered Q large diamond ring and other jewslry which she valued at $1. .500 as collateral for the bail named. Justice Irving refused it. Manning furnished $500 bail, to appear at the trial as a witness.
 Kennady's wife is the granddaughteF of John Rowan, of Kentucky, who was senator fer three tSrms and later Min ister to France. Her father Is the veteran Commodore Reed, of the navy. Kennady comes from Oxford, Miss, and says he is a protege of Justice Lamar, who had him appointed to his present place while he was Secretary of the Interior. His application was endoraed by L.C. Houk, of Tennessee, ". Allison, of Iowa, and Senator McPherson, of New Jersey. He has been here for two weeks with his wife on 6 vacation.
 Manning, who is reputed to be quite wealthy, gives e version of the diff. culty, which involves g pretty German American nurse girl employed in his family, with whom KennadY got Sc. quainted. One of the rssults was shat he ordered Ksnnady te leave town. He says KsnaAdy svSh threatened t6 kIii him. Their meeting was @ eemplete surprise to both. NsithsT knew the other was here, KAhnady admitted there wss g woman in the case. buS de, nied that 1t was poor nurse girl.

HOW IT AFFECTS MARRIAGE.

Relations of Advanced Culture to Women in Society.
 In recent discussion among some of the young ladies about to conclude their education, so far as it is given in the public school system of this city, of the question of adding four years course at one of the universities, 8 symposium
 worthy of the Twilight Club was had. The relations of advanced culture to the life and influence of women in society were considered in many and varied phases. The most notable and effective point adverse to the collegiate course was made by a bright and vivacious member of the party. She said she had thought of going to neighboring col lege, and would enjoy the course, but had decided against it for the reason that she had discovered that the higher education was virtual barrier to mat rimony. Figures were adduced from a magazine article showing that in the case of the New England colleges the records kept show that in the twelve years after graduation, the limit of the matrimonial period, virtually less than one-fourth of the educated ladies mar ried; and in cases where the edu- cation had been in strictly female institutions, without mixture of the sexes, only 14.s per cent. married before passing into the desuetude of the spin ster state. Some figures of New York institutions also were given of very similar character. It was shown that this was not chiefly due to the lack of marrying men, as those who stopped short of the higher course had at least n oL ae
 The young lady was frank to say that she believed ir matrimony, and was old fashioned enough to hold that it was, in theory at least, the ideal state for wo- man. She was not specially solicitous about her own fate in this connection, but did not propose to diminish her chances by the loss of four years. She was ambitious. If she went through the higher course she would try to keep up with the male intellects. Her obser- vation was that men were slow to marry a woman who seemed to be brighter and know more than they did. Then the higher education was apt to give the girls distaste for domestic and house. hold duties. Even the few years in the high school had in her own case made the home sphere less acceptable to her. Others of the company insisted that the young woman of to-day should fit her. self for self-assertion and support in life, without regard to marriage. That might be accepted as a possible incl dent, but should not be sought; or, at least, should not be regarded as essen- tial to usefulness or happiness. Still, it is intimated that the number who will take the further course is consider ably diminished. St. Paul Globe,

The Tariff Bill to be Called

 WASHINGTON, July 7.-The programme ln the Senate for the present week in- cludes the passage of the Postal Sub sidy bills and possibly of the River and Herbor bill, and the opening of the debate on the Tariff question.
 Senator Morrill,. the chairman of the Committee on Finance, says he will call up the Tariff bill this afternoon &C., cording to the announced intention. and that he is willing, when 1t has been made the unfinished business of the Senate, to have it laid aside infor- mally, that the Postal Subsidy bills, which were pndsT discussion for two days last week, may be disposed of, These subsidy bills have been debated at length, and they will be passed with out much further discussion.
 Senator Frye, who is in charge of the River and Harbor Appropriation bill, gave notice last week that he would ask that that bill Do taken up to-day and insist upon having 1t considered. This means fight for precedence be- tween the two great n6asdres, and the result is doubtful. As Mir. Fry promises that the River and Harbor bill will not consume more than two days of the Senats's time, howeyeg, ana Rs he is desirous of getting it into what may be Q very extended conference, 1t is not improbable that the Finance Committee win yield to hiua.
 Another measure which is likely to interfere with the continued discussion of the Tariff bill is the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill, which will probably be reported to the Genate to-mprFow. It is not impossible that the conference report on the Silver bill will get back into the Senate before the end of the week. in which event the Tariff bill will be shelved temporarily.

The Colonies are Anxious for n0tIor

 WASHINGTON, July 7.-Hon. Robert Oliver, of Dunedin, life member of the New Zealand Legislative Council, who has been visiting Washington for several days, in an interview respecting our trade relations said;
 "0f course we in the Colonies are much interested sn American matters. We are extremely anxious to have better trade relations. I myself am a sheep wool question. My sheep are a oross of Leioester and Lincolnshire sheep, with an original strain of Merino. I ship 2,OOQ frozen oarcasses of mutton to England every year. It strikes us as absurd that the bulk of opposition in America to our wool comes from men owning less than thirty sheep, when the greatest possible increase In price of their feeces by the tariff, allowing that there is any increase at all, will not half pay the increased cost of the woolen goods they are obliged to pur- chase. The difficulty is that they are raising sheep for wool on high-priced lands, and are not paying enough at tention to mutton.
