WORK FOR CONGRESS-.
Important Measures to Be Considered Dur.
ing the Present Week.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The Bland sill
yer bill still impends over the House as cloud
whose presence makes possible "A storm
which may disturb the representations Of
those who endeavor to form an accurate
chart for The course of the legislative ship.
Owing to the absence of Catehings OF Misis-
sippi, and tho desire that there shall be a
full representation of members when the
Bland free-coipage bill and pending amend
mentS as a special order are taken up. the
rules committee will not report and call up
the much-talked-Of SPECIAL order until Tues
day. The silver fight will then be renewed
aud fought TO a finish one way or the other.
Tomorrow will probably be devoted to meas
ures relalingto the District of Columbia.
The remainder of the week, If not devoted
TO the consideration OF the silver question,
Will be consumed either in debate on the
tariff question or the consideration of regu-
lar appropriation bills. No decision has yet
been arrived at as to whether or not the
tariff discussion shall be further interrupt
ed. There are appropriation bills, namely;
Naval, consular and diplomatic and sundry
civil, ready for action by the House
in the order indicated. The river and har-
bor bill has been agreed upon by the COM
mittee, but it will not be reported TO the
House until the close of lhe week.
Interest In the proceedings of the Senate
this werk will turn upon the disposition 10
be made of the Bering Sea arbitration
treaty. In the course OF legislative business
the Indian appropriation bill VIII be further
considered, aud there is more TO be said
upon the subject of employing army officers
in the capacity of Indian agents. The West
Virginia drect-taX bill has been assigned
for Debate on Tuesday. on which Senator
Stanford will, according 10 notice. address
the Senate on his bill TO determine the value
of the legal tender dollar. It is expected
the District of Columbia appropriation bill
will be taken up afterwaTd. and as this is a
measure In witch the Senators feel much
interest, owing in part to the fact that many
of them own homes liz this city. the debate
upon the provisions of the bill is likely to
occupy the Senate for some time.

of his money. Following close upon this
came the decline in Kansas City real es-
tate and Mumford, in order to save some
thing from the wreck, transferred part of
his property to his wife.
Failing health and business reverses
caused the doctor to decide To abandon his
many schemes. and for more than year h e
has done but little beyond managing his
newspaper property. A year ago he spent
several weeks at the Palace Hotel in this
city. and it was remarked that he was
broken man physically.
Many stories are told of the doctor, but
the one that gave him the most notoriety
was that of his encounter with Ed Corri-
gan, the hQrseman. some three years ago.
A reporter of the Times was brutally as
saulted and beaten nearly to death by Cor
rlgan, who was burly man OF giant
strength, on the racetrack at Kansas City.
The reporter was slight man aud when
Mumford heard of it he thrust pistol in his
pocket and went in search of Corrigan. The
latter was found in downtown saloon, and
Mumford drew his revolver Corrigan saw
his reflection in the mirror, and before
Mumford could shoot knocked him down

despaired of, but he finally recovered

probably hastened his death.

accompanying the regular annual consular
diplomatic appropriation bill framed by the
committee The report makes a careful ex-
animation into the subjects of foreign mis-
sions and of imr ortant diplomatic relations
with several countries of the world. The
facilities for the transmission and inter-
change of thought dispenses with much of
the need OF foreign representation. In ad-
ditiOu, this country has grown TO such mag
nitude as to enjoy regard from other ma
tions, which guarantees her against foreign
insolence, outrage and causeless war. Very
much might be safely done in reducing the
number of our Ministers by abolition, or by
the union Of several countries under one
mission. lie Is not encouraged to hope for
an acceptance of these views by the Senate
or by the President. Ii is therefore deemed
best, except in few instances as reported
when the bill was introduced, to postpone
needed reform. By mistake of the printer

zuela would be joined under one Minister.

A THRILLING STORY.
Early Morning Encounter With
Big, Bold Burglar.
Stabbed Nine Times During a Struggle in q
Dark Rocm-Peculiar Explanation OF
Cutting ARRAY.

at 4:30 O'Clock yesterday a little man,
with pale, blood-stained face, staggered
into the Receiving Hospital on the arm of
Policeman McGregen. An examination by
DIR. Deane showed that there were no less
than nine knife-%ounds on the mans body.
They were all Of superficial nature and
did little more damage than cutting the
skin. There were also numerous bruises,
scratches and c0ntusions on his head, face,
neck, arms, hands and body. After being
patched up and made ready 10 depart the
Injured man gave his name as William Ryan
and said that he lived at 555 Jessie street.
How did you receive ali those cuts aud
bruises?" asked DR.. Deane.

NO GLUE TO HIS AssAILANT.
Did you see the burglars face?" was
asked.
No. it was too dark in the room for that

morning" and the little man left the hos
pital with his head and face covered with
bandages.
Neither the police nor the hospital at
taches believe the injured mans thrilling
story. The wounds were inflicted with the
small blade of pocket-knife. 1t is thought
that Ryan was injured during fracas in a
saloon or with a relative, and that he in
vented the story tc shield his assailant Be
this as 1t may, he told very plausible
yarn, and no amount of questioning could
shake him in any of the details.

At midnight on Saturday Thomas Nc

stead the unknown dueked his head, and

received a frighiful wound that severed
enc of the large arteries in the wrist and
bled very freely while ON the way to the
City and County Hospital.
Arriving there, tho patrol found immeii-
ate access to the hospital premises, but no
doctor was On hand. The police claim lt
took twenty minutes to get doctor to at
tend Mckay, and after that time DIR. MAYS
came upon the scene. Mckay had bled so
freely and the wound was such an open one
that his life was at first thought TO be in
jeopardy, but last night showed he was get

on arrival
The police claim every minute was most
valuable from two standponts-irstly, that
a man was losing his lies blood and any
minute might empty his body of the last
requisite drop. and, secondly. that while
being detained there the patrol might have
been needed elsewhere on as urgent a case.
The patrol wagon was out for fifty-five min-
utes on trip that should have taken no
more than twenty or twenty five, being q
half-hour of needless delay.
