An agreement has been made
between the leader Of both parties
in the House not to call up any Of
the contested election cases this
week. This has been done in
order to dispose of the Worlds
Fair question. The committee
has reported two bills, one provid-
ing for holding the fair.1n Wash
ington and the other for holding
it either at Chicago, New York or
St. Louis. It is proposed to give
several days to a discussion of the
bills, and it is expected that by
the last of the week, the final vote
may be taken. A large number
of the boomers of each Of the
contesting cities are here and the
Washington people are no ways
backward in upholding the claims
of the Capitol. Take it all in all
the members of the House will
have very lively time this week.
The Wisconsin delegation in the
House stands high, and in proper
ton to its numbers, no state is
better represented. To speak of
all of them would make this
letter too long. I will therefore

MoCord is Doing Well.

The indications, in the way of
dispatches from Washington, all
point remarkably to the fact that
Mr.. McCord is making a fine
record as a successful member of
the House, and if he succeeds in
getting even one appropriation
for a public building for his dis
trict in one term, it will be doing
extraordinarily we'll. We predict,
however, that he will do far more
than this We are reliably
informed that the reason why he
took up the bill for a public build
ing for Ashland first is, the people
there, with great unanimity, came
promptly to his assistance, and
furnished him with facts and such
other helps as he needed, such as
calling on all their friends both in
and out of congress to help him,
and were very prompt in furnish
ing the department the information
called for as to the business done
through the office, etc.
A great many stories are cur
rent concerning the recent purchase
Of the Madison Journal by Horace
Taylor, of Hudson. In an inter
view with reporter of the Mil
waukee Evening Wisconsin, Mr..
Taylor corrects many of the
statements made. Il do not know
any other business very well, he
said, land l thought Madison
offered the most prominent field OF
any city in the state, and SO
bought The Journal when I found
it was for sale. This talk about
it being bought by syndicate is
all nonsense. l bought the prop
erty with my own money and
notes, and am the sole owner.
Intend to form a stock company,
and some other gentlemen may
become interested, but none of
those who have been mentioned.
Everybody knows that Rusk is
not likely to go into business with
me. Senator Sawyer I have heard
say a dozen times that he would
never put a cent of money into a
newspaper again, as he lost
$1,000, his first and only invest
ment, in newspapers. John
Spooner knows that any paper l
have control of, will be as friendly
10 nlIn as II he owned 1t; and
Harshaw l never mentioned the
subject to. So, you see, these
stories about the syndicate have
no basis Of fact. There are men
in this state whom, if they desire
to take a block of stock in my
company when it is organized, I
would like to have interested.
But the project is mine; l bought
It as business venture, and
propose to run it as such"

organized theirs and from the fact
that Roswell P. Flower, the

in the Senate. 1t will pass not
withstanding the claims OF its
opponents.
Secretary Window is to give
his views on his silver bill to the

day.
The President, accompanied by
Secretary Blaine, will go to

The bill providing for ascertain

the country when the census is

Senate and House and is now in
the hands Of the President.
There is hitch in the new tariff
bill, and besides that, Mr.. McKin-
ley, the chairman Of the Ways
and Means committee, has been
sick for nearly a week, SO that
there is little probability Of the
bills being reported to the House
until after the first Of March.
Sugar is the principal stumbling
block.
The. President, while the contro-
versy over the new rules was in
progress in the House, positively
refused to express his opinion
upon the merits of the rules
reported, but since their adoption
he has expressed himself as think
ing their adoption the greatest
Legislative reform made in Con-
gress for many years. The vote
in the House on the adoption Of
the rules was I6I to I45, a strict
party vote.
Among the bills passed by the
Senate last week was one appro-
priating $4,000 to pay attorneys

Fishback, the Presidents old firm.

Hovey, now Governor Of Indiana,

DANGEROUS WIIISkEY.
The Trouble Il Man is Now in for Sell
ing Pint.


Whiskey seems to be kind o. danger
Gus IN every way. There is man
named Hicks in custody here and in
trouble too, for innocently selling pint
to neighbor. 1t seems that lie went to
a government still and bought pint OF
whiskey, paying thirty cents for it. \
neighbor came along aud remarked that
he needed some whiskey very much,
whereupon Hicks offered him the whis-
key lie had for the same money he had
paid for it. The neighbor took the
Whlskey and went on. Somehow the
matter was mentioned afterwards, and
1t got Hicks into the trouble he is now
experiencing. On one or two occasions
he has given information against certain
parties for conducting illicit distilleries
and had them prosecuted Some of
these same parties, finding out that
Hicks had sold the whiskey, had war
rant issued against him for retailing
without license. For this action Hicks
fell under the condemnation of both
the State and the United States
governments. He was tried at
the last term of Wake Supe-
rior court and convicted. Sentence
was pronounced against him, bpt
the judgment was afterwards suspended
on payment of costs. because it was
represented to the Judge that Hicks
had family, who would suffer if he
were imprisoned and prevented from
providing for them. This, however, did
not give Hicks Immediate relief and
freedom, for there was United States
warrant againt him, and he was re
manded to Jail to await trial at the next
term of the United States circuit court.
1t seems that a man can't fool with
whiskey in any fashion without getting
into trouble.

WASHINGTON, &C.. April S.-Secretary

The court martial finding was Scotch
verdict of mot proven" The charge
was that he wrote an article for the Val

eised the action of his superior officer.
This in the naval regulations constitutes
a breach of discipline. For this he was
tlied. but the editor of the paper, the
only person by whom the charge could
oe proven, refused 10 appear before the
court. AS there is no law to compel the
attendance of witnesses before a naval
court martial, and as Commander Cough

charge, the court entered verdict in
accordance with the evidence before it
and found verdict of not guilty.

LEXINGTON KY, April s.-Menifee
county came to the front yesterday with
bloody tragedy. Two desperate fac
tions, headed respectively by Albert
Barnes and Will Barnesley, have been
keeping the county in turmoil. Yes
terday afternoon party accompanying
Will Barnesly were in train on the
Mount Sterling coal road. They had to
pass Chambers Station and AS it was
known that the other party awaited the
train u that place, and there
wa certainty of fight, the conductor
rushed his train by the depot at the rate
Of twenty five miles an hour. The party
feed on their enemies on the platform,
who returned the tie. For a minute
there was regular fusilade. When
matters queted down it was found that
ON the tI ain there were two killed-Will
Barnesly, the leader, and Kelley B. Day,
a passenger not in any way connected
with the factions. At the station Geo
Stevens fell as if dead. There is grea,
excitement at Mt. Sterling, as it is feared
that yesterdays tragedy will result in
another mountain war.
