In the House.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-Cannon moved
that the House go into committee of the
whole on appropriating s636, 1S9 for ad-
ditional clerical force to carry into effect
the provisions of the dependent pension
act. Pending this motion, he moved that
general debate be limited to two hours.
Agreed to, yeas, ia; nays, GO. The pre-
vious question was then agreed to, yeas, 135 !:
nays, 81; and the House went into com
mittee of the whole.
Dockery of Missouri, criticised the major
ity of the committee on appropriations for
not reporting bill making an appropria-
ton to pay pensions which would be
granted under the dependent pension bill,
and intimated that failure was attribut-
able to political reasons.
Savers, of Texas, predicted that the next
session of Congress would be called upon to
appropriate no less than forty million dol
lars to supply deficiencies in the appropria-
tions for pensions.
EDloe, of Tennessee, thought before any
increase of force was granted the pension
bureau, it should be ascertained whether
charges brought against the present COM
missioner in a resolution offered by Cooper,
of Indiana, were true.S
Cooper, of Indiana, said he was ready to
prove before competent committee that
the commissioner of pensions outrageously
sold out ruling on behalf of firm of pen
sion attorneys in Washington. If the COM
missioner of pensions would direct his
time to the discharge of the duties of the
bureau instead of becoming president and
chief manager of refrigerating institution,
based, possibly, on no substantial founda-
ton, there would be no necessity for con-
siderable number of clerks

A Mania for Suicide.

DENVER, July 15.-lSpecial telegram to
The HERALD. Mabel Cline and several
doctors have been wrestling together since
yesterday evening because Mabel swal-
lowed forty grains of morphine. She first
showed evidence of the suicide mania at
Colorado Springs last Friday, telling a
story of marriage and desertion there
experimenting it by using morphine. She
was placed in the hospital but escaped.
and tried to drown herself in shallow
ditch. Yesterday morning she came to
Denver and by some unknown means pro-
cured the drug and swallowed it. When
found she was unconscious and the doc
tors labored with her increasingly until s
o'clock this morning, when she revived
slightly but has been quite stupid all day.
In letter written by her she claims to
have husband. She came from Eden
Vermont, three years ago and was mar
ried about two months ago, but her hus-
band deserted her. 1t is probable she will
pull through this time but viii repeat the
attempt the first opportunity.

In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, July fisherman reported
substitute for the bill introduced by him
on the 10th of May to reduce the amount of
United States bonds to be required of ma
tional banks and to restore to the channels
of trade the excessive accommodations of
lawful money in the treasury Placed on
the calendar.
1t provides that the compulsory require
ment of a deposit of United States bonds
with the treasurer of the United States by
national banks shall be limited in amount
to 81, 900 of bonds for each bank; provides
that the voluntary withdrawal of bonds
for the retirement of national bank notes
shall not exceed three millions in any month.
and also provides that the act shall
not apply to deposits of bonds to secure de-
posits of public money. 1t also provides
that national banks shall be entitled to re-
ceive circulating notes not exceeding the
whole amount Of the par value of the bonds
deposited and that at no time shall the
total amount Of such notes exceed the
amount of the capital stock actually paid.
The Senate resumed consideration of
the sundry civil appropriation bill the
first item being $20, 900 for the surveying of
public lands, the committee recommending
an increase to 100000. The Senate bill
granting to the state of Washington a
section of public land for soldiers home
and as training ground for the state mi
litia, was taken from the calendar and
passed. Adjourned.

Friday that Cooper had introduced an in
vestigating resolution. The gentleman's
eagerness would seem to show an anxiety
to figure in the newspapers. 1t might be
that the administration of the pension pur
eau was corrupt. If it be corrupt, let it be
shown.
Mckinley said that owing to serious i'll
ness in his family he had not been present
at the meeting of the committee on rules
to which Cooper alluded. Sc far as an in
vestlgation is CT ncerncd, if any gentleman
would rise and charge irregularities or
corruption or dishonesty or unfair dealing
on the part of the commissioner, that would
be sufficient reason for him to give his vote
for investis alton.
Cannon said he did not go SO far as the
gentleman from Ohio A charge on the
part of a member of Congress (who fire.
quently did not weigh his words) of NAL
administration a ainst an executive officer,
was not sufficient to authorize the House
to order an investigation; it must be a
specific charge, for which Representative
made himself responsible.
During a colloquy between Cannon and
Houk concerning the civil service law,
there was considerable warmth of express
sion. Finally the committe rose and the
House adjourned

WORT COLLINS, Colo, July 15.-rSpecial
telegram to THE HERALD. When William
II. Avery died, June ., as his physician
alleged, OF gastric fever, and his widow
twelve days later secretly married Francis
w Millington and returned here, still re-
tanning the Widows name, stories became
current that all was not straight in connec-
1lon with Ayery's death, and his brother,
+. c. Avery, instigated an inquiry.
Avery's estate is valued at 100000 and
after his decease Millington stated to
Mayor Hall that he was going to marry the
widow and be appointed guardian of the
daughter. Finally, in their conversation he
admitted that he had married the widow.
Hall testified before the coroner that the
stomach of the deceased indicated arsenical
poisoning. Avery's brother testified that
Mrs. Avery objected strongly to an au-
topsy. DR.. Sewell, who made the chemical
analysis of the stomach, found no traces of
arsenic. In the face of this shadowy evil
dence the jury brought in a sealed verdict
and Sheriff Davy, with f. C. Avery, went
TO Denver last evening. To day, Milling
ton, Mrs. Millington and Miss Ollie E.
AIillington were arrested on a charge of
having caused Avery's death None of
them seemed worried over the outcome.
Mrs. Millington says she had been perse-
cuted by the Avery family before and after
Avery died and she turned to Wilmington
for protection. He suggested marriage
because that would better enable him to
protect her and they We're married Al
present there is but slight circumstantial
evidence against the accused, but the affair
