THE DAY IN CONGRESS.
The Apportionment Bill Passed as il Came
From the House.

WASHINGToN, January 29.-ln the
Senate to-day the bill creating the office
Of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
was passed.
The Senate then proceeded to the con-
sderation of the Apportionment bill as
the unfinished business, and Mr.. Ed
mnnds called attention to- the fact that
the bill took no cognizance whatever Of
the provisions of the Fourteenth
Amendment, that in case the right OF
suffrage be denied or abridged in any
State the representation OF that State
shall be diminished accordingly.
The bill was then passed without
amendment, by strict party vote-yeas
81, nays "a.
The Senate then, on motion of Mr..
Blair, took up the House bill providing
for the adjustment Of the accounts OF
laborerS. workmen and mechanics, aris-
ing under the eight hour law. 1t having
been thus made the unfinished business,
Mr.. Blair consented to have it laid aside
temporarily so that the Army Appro-
priation bill should be taken up ana
proceeded with. Mr.. German, however,
objected 10 that arrangement being
made, and then Mr.. Allison, who had
made the request, withdrew it, and
moved as a privileged motion, that the
army bill be taken mp. Agreed to.
The consideration Of the army appro-
priation bill was then proceeded with.
Mr.. Hawley moved to strike out OF
the bill the proviso that no officer shall
received pay as an officer on the retired
list while receiving salary as govern
uent official The proviso applied, he
said, to only twelve officers including
General Rosecrans, Register Of the
Treasury.
Mr.. Berry said the provision was
aimed at General Rosecrans and General
Baldy Smith. The administration had
not seen proper to call for Genera
Rosecrans' resignation, who place was
wanted by some hungry patriot, but the
administration would like legislation to
make a vacancy in that office. The
motion was agreed to and the provision
stricken out. After an extended discus
sion the bill went over without action,
and after a short executive session the
Senate adjourned.

WASHINGTON, January 29.-The Jour
nal was approved without objection.
The hou Sc then went into committee OF
the whole on the Military Academy Ap-
preparation bill. The committee hav-
ing risen Informally, Mr.. Dingley, OF
Maine, chairman of the committee in
vestigating the alleged "silver pool,
presented a special report of that com
mittee. The report states that in the
usual form subpoena TO appear before
the committee was served upon j. A.
Owenby, and that said Owenby has re-
fused to or neglected to obey the sub
poena. lie asked the Speaker to com
pei his attendance.
Mr.. Frank, of Missouri, inquired as
TO the answer made by Owenby upon
the serving OF the subpoena.
Mr.. Dingley replied that the only in
formation the committee received was
was contained in the return OF the Dep
uty Sergeant-at-Arms Forsyth TO the
effect that he had served the subpoena
upon Owenby at the Hotel Richelieu in
Chicago.
Mr.. Frank inquired whether Owenby
had been told that he would be entitled
to mileage and fees.
Mr.. Dingley said the committee had
considered the matter, but so far as he
knew, no information had been given
to Owenbo as his mileage and fees.
Mr.. Frank thought that If the witness
had demanded mileage and fees that
he would be entitled to both before re-
spending to the subpoena.
After brief legal discussion as TO
the power of the House to compel the
attendance of witnesses. the report was
agreed to as a preamble TO the ORDER
and as amended the order was made.
The Committee OF the Whole then re-
sumed its session. After long debate,
which assumed political character,
and without disposjng Of the bill, the
committee rose and the House adjourn

The Force bill bosses have stopped their
ghost dance for good, and are surrender
ing their rifles. They at last ac-
knowledge that they are starved out
and beatt n, and now they are willing to
return TO their reservation and behave
themselves. AS foreshadowed in these
dispatches yesterday they come
definitely TO this conclusion to-day,
and gave the Democratic leaders
to understand as much. Senator Kenna
said this evening: at is now safe to
say that the Force bill is dead and
buried. We will not be troubled with
it again. II any attempt were now
made to revive it, | think it would meet
with opposition from Senators who
have heretofore supported the bill"
Representative Wilson said: The,
definite understanding is the Republi-
cans will make no further attempt to
take the bill up again. and will clear the
way for a rapid dispatch Of the neces-
sary legislation and do away with any
necessity for an extra session ii would
leave the Democrats free to cooperate
heartily with the Republicans who
wanted to do legitimate business.
II is believed that the Republicans
Of the Senate will hold a caucus soon
and formally abandon the Force bill,
or, at least, settle on an order of busi-
ness for the remainder of the session,
which will not include any reference to
the Force bill. In this way the party
will accept the defeat as its own, and not
allow poor old Grandpa Hoar to bear
the OnuS OF it.

There are no negotiations whaver on

SHE GUESSED SHE WAS GUILTY.
A Curious Case in a 'squire's Court In
which the Woman Only was Arrested.

WAKEPoNETA, o., January 29.--Mrs.
Samantha Shelter, Of Gibsonburg, o.,
yesterday filed an affidavit in Squire
Rogers Court charging her husband,
William Ezra Schetzer and Mrs. Hattie
Fowler, OF Buckland, this county, with
adultery from June 9th last up TO date
in the town OF Buckland. Marshal
Van Skiver drove out 10 the town and
arrested Mrs. Fowler, returning with
her to the Court room Of Squire Rogers
The affidavit was read TO Mrs. Fow-
Ter, who replied that she guessed she
was guilty, and asked to have the case
disposed OF. Squire Rogers therefore
bound her over to Court under a bond OF
of $500, which she said Schetzer would
sign. About year ago Schetzer and
ais wife separated, and he met Mrs
Fowler, and together they left for Glib
sonburg. During the six months inter-
yening between their departure and
their arrival at auckland in June, they
drifted through Virginia, Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois. stopping at different places
in the oil regions Of these four States.
At all times they were known as Mr..
and Mrs. William Ezra. In June they
struck Buckland and began keeping
house. They were taken into the fam
iies OF other oil men, and supposed to
be respectable, and were often seen at
church. One day on passing through
on A train one Of his sons saw Schetzcr.
who reported his whereabouts TO his
family, which subsequently caused their
expose. Schetz was not arrested, and
did not appear to sign the womaD's
