HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-The House went
into committee of the whole on the sundry
civil bills, pending the Sunday closing of
the Worlds fair. After various amend
ments and substitutes, looking to the ex-
clusion of the sale of liquor on the ground
or the exhibition of nude or partially nude
pictures or statuary, or allowing games of
chance and lotteries within mile of the
fair grounds, or sale of cards, dice, etc.,
had been lost the following was adopted
Provided, That the government exhibit at
the Worlds Columbian exposition shall not
be open to the public on Sunday:
The committee proceeded to the consider
alton of the clause appropriating $4,000
for the enforcement of the Chinese exclu-
sion act. To this substitute was offers
by Loud of California. The substitute ap-
propriates 100000 to prevent unlawful
entry of Chinese, for the registration of
Chinese now in the United States, and for
the expense of returning to China all
Chinese found unlawfully in the United
States.
Bowers, of California, said the Demo
cratic party could not deceive the people OF
the Pacific coast by passing stringent ex-
clusien act and then refusing TO appropri-
ate money to carry it into effect. This &C
ton would show the people that although

law, they opposed its enforcement

service were only 100000.
Henderson, of Iowa, reminded the gen.
tleman that the sundry civil bill was re-
ported to The House Maya, and stringent,

passed three days afterwards. That was
the reason the appropriations for carrying
the act iuto effect were not included in the
estimates.
Geary said that when the Chinese bill
passed the House many Republicans found
it convenient to be absent. They could
not now fool the people of California as to
the position of their party by getting up
and pretending desire for large appro-
priations.
LIQUIDS substitute was rejected, and on
motion of Holman the appropriation was
increased to $50, 900.
| On motion of Martin of Indiana an ap-
preparation of $1,000 was made for the
commissery quarters at the Marion
soldiers home. An amendment by Ssyers
led to discussion of the political methods
of j. l. Davenport in the New York city
elections. He was attacked by some
Democrats and defended 0y Republicans
without action. The committee rose and
the House adjourned.

A few minutes before o'clock yester-

shot and almost instantly killed c. E.
Montgomery in the dining room of the
Lincoln hotel at Lincoln, Neb., for seduc-
ing his wife.
The first report of the tragedy came to
this city in private telegram. Dis
patches came in through the day. but the
meagre information gave no clue to the
real cause leading up to the killing. Mr..
Irvine, during his three years. residence In
this city, made many friends and as a
recognition of his sterling business quail
ties and popularity was elected to the
lower house of the territorial legislature
Groups of his friends gathered on the
streets to discuss the affair, and while
many conjectures were advanced as TO the
cause, the inference was always made that
there was woman at the bottom of it
But nothing was known of any domestic
troubles and the crowds would dispense tt

WASHINGTON, d. c., May &c.
The free silver men won substantial
victory today in the Senate. The motion
to take up the free coinage bill introduced
by Mr. Stewart of Nevada several months
ago was carried with comparative ease by
a majority of rs to 90
The result was an utter Disappointment
to Senator Sherman and the other gentle
men who affiliate with him in the interest
of Wall street. An analysis of the vote
shows that Paddock of Nebraska sup
ported the proposition to consider the
measure, and it is contended that he will
also vote for the bill, although the single
standard men have been claiming him as a
convert. 1t is also said that Randall Glib
son of Louisiana who voted against free
silver two years ago, has been hearing
from his constituents at this session, and
that he has reluctantly consented to sup
port the Stewart bill or any other similar
measure that may come before the Senate.
Senator Jones of Nevada hopes that the
discussion will be limited to ten days, and
that vote may be taken before the Repub-
lican convention meets at Minneapolis on
June next. If this be done he thinks the
effect will be to secure more liberal con-
siderstion of silver by the convention than
would be otherwise the case. At all events,
now that the silver men realize they have
majority they will keep the bill before
the Senate until it is disposed oS.
Mr.. Hansbrough Of North Dakota, who
is the Republican whip and an opponent oil
free silver, sadly confessed to me today
that the silver men had certain majority
of one, if not three, and he did not see how
the passage of the bill could be prevented
Elk Governor Hill of New York declined
to face the issue when it was presented tt
him today and bolted out of the Senate
chamber to avoid voting on the motion t.
take up the bill. His action was the cause
of no little comment, particularly on TIT
Democratic side of the chamber, and boil
parties regard him with feeling but littl
short of contempt for his cowardice in de
clining to enroll himself with one side o.
the other.

abandoned Blaine will be called upon as

Speculation Is Rife Among Democrats as to
How 1t Will Vote.
Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.1
New YORK, May 25.-There has been
great deal of speculation among Demo
cratic politicians the past week as to how
the state delegation will vote in case of
prolonged fight in Chicago. Friends Of
ex President Cleveland say the delegates
will vote for him before the convention is
over. They say that Tammany hall is not
irrevocably committed to Senator Hill, and
while that organizations candidate would
be- William G. Whitney. 1t would not be
deeply offended even if Cleveland was
nominated and would give same loyal sup
port.
Tammany leaders are quoted as saying in
private that they do not care whether Hill
or Cleveland is nominated, but they do
care whether they will have to fight
another Democratic organization next
November. If Hill is nominated they be-
lieve Mr.. Grace and friends will complete
the formation of q formidable local organi-
zation, but If Cleveland, then the friends
of the ex-president will leave to Tammany
hall the task of carrying the city and no
opposition local ticket will be put in the
| field.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-The president
this afternoon proclaimed the details of the
reciprocity treaty with Austria-Hungary,
which is similar to that with Germany.
The Senate in executive session, took
action in the long pending case which, in
the language of the Senate foreign rela-
tons committee, presents such repeated
instances of injustice, delay and denial of
justice by final action by the vernment
of Great Britain as to warrant the inter
position Of the United States, and If the
means of redress were exhausted, would
Justify special reprisals in the case of A.
NJ. Webster, who seeks compensation for
half million acres of land in New Zea-
land, acquired from native chiefs and later
seized by Great Britain. The Senate to-
day adopted resolution declaring the
claim founded in justice, deserves the sup
port of the United States, and requesting
the president to submit it to arbitration.
The unexpended balance Of public
monies, is now in the hands of disbursing
officers-S22, 559, 900. Secretary Foster re-
CARDS this largely in excess of the actual
requirements OF the service, especially in
view of the fact that the cash balance in
the treasury has fallen to $40, GAG, 1886. He

bursting officers to turn all Idle money into

manager, has made several trips TO New

garded here as almost sure that the Hill
men in New York will go to Boies as an

Irving removed to Salt Lake, where he
prospered further and was a member

Mrs. Irvine is petite blonde of engaq-

session of the American Baptist Mission
airy union Rev. DR.. Wayland presented q
resolution denouncing the Chinese exclu-

vote of the Pacific coast whose name was
Dennis Kearney."
The Democrats, said Dixon, "have
deserted their jefferson and gone after a
false god, and his name is Dennis. The
Republicans have also gone after false
god, and his name is Dennis. He wanted
the Baptists to speak in no uncertain
language to the people who had disgraced
them, and said he would like to stuff the
document down the Threats of the presi-
dent and the men who framed the act.''
