Small Attendance.

Small Attendance.
by telegraph to the Dispatchl
WASHINGTON, ID. G., June 7-SESATE.
The quickest time on record IN the pas
sage of one of the general approprla-
ton bills was that made in the Senate
10. day in the case OF the diplomatic and
consular bill. The amendments re-
ported to it by the Committee on APP
preparations were numerous, and some
OF them were OF sufficient importance to
attract attention under ordinary circum-
stances and lead TO discussion, but Just
as fast as Secretary McCook could read
them and President pro tenn. Henderson
could declare them agreed to they were
rushed through. Mr.. dale had charge OF
the bill. but further than to make a
very brief explanation OF the group OF
amendments touching the status OF
foreign missions he RETAINED from all
remarks, and no other senator said a
word. And so. in exactly an hour, the
bill was considered and passed.
The calendar was then taken up, but
after passing through unimportant bills
the general dissemination to enter upon
work in Washington while all public In
terest was centred in Minneapolis found
expression in motion to adjourn, which
was agreed to after the Senate had been
III session just an hour and half.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
A dozen leaves of absence were
granted this morning. After its etfec
tive work yesterday the House appeared
inclined to take rest, and the attend
ance at ii o'clock was small.
The agricultural appropriation bill
was reported and placed upon the calen-
dar and several uuimportant private bills
were passed by unanimous consent.
The House then went into Committee
of the Whole on the urgent deficiency
bill. The bill sppropriates S1,61 ,332
for the payment OF pensions and Sl4, OO0
for the miscellaneous expenses OF the
House Of Representatives.
After q brief explanation by Mr..
Savers, Of Texas, and statement by
Mr.. Dingley, of Maine. that while there
was an apparent deficiency of about
$500. 900 for the payment of pensions
there was an unexpended balance OF
IS, 10000 the committee rose and
the bill was passed.
Mr.. McRae, of Arkansas, called up as
a privileged question the railroad land"
grant forfeiture bill. Ut forfeits I'M
earned grants.) On this bill no quorum
voted. A call OF the House showed the
presence OF quorum, but further pro-
ceedings were dispensed with and the
House adjourned.

DOuGLAS-COUNTY JUSTICE.
a Storm of Eloquence from Local At
torney Carried the Day.
fThs.o,o Trihnpol
[Chicago Tribune.l


The officers of the Illinois Humane
Society detailed to prosecute the particl-
pators in the tame-f0x hunt at Fairiand
are much disturbed over the methods OF
legal procedure in Douglas county.
The action against the fox-hunters
was called before Justice Lamb at
Tuscola Thursday. Witnesses testi-
fed before jury that a tame
fox had been chased by the de-
PENDANTS and their hounds and had been
caught and torn to pieces by the latter.
Attorney A. W. Thomas, OF Chicago,
cited Massachusetts decision sustaining
tbe position of the Humane Society,
which. while not denying to right OF
men 10 hunt and kill wild foxes. held
that q tame fox cared for IN captivity ny
man from the time it was only few
DAYS old is domestic animal.
4. w. Wolverton, OF Tuscola. attorney
for the defendants, then addressed tue
iurv. He troubled himself but little
about replying to arguments OF the CHI
caoo LAWYER. but the fact that Mas
sacbusetts decision had been. cited Sc
yerely wounded his local pride.
"Gentlemen of the jury" he SAID,
eve are residents of the State OF ILL
nois. in the glorious West-wild and
wooily, if you will-where each man IS
an independent American citizen. Whst
is Mas .achusetts? An alien Common
wealth. IL is Massachusetts,. Why,
gentlemen OF the jury, on Boston Com
soon today witches are burned at the
stake. and If a man is found outside oil a
church Sunday he is placed in lookup:
What has Massachusetts, to do with us
We are American citizens, and we want
10 chase foxes and We chase foxes
After hearing which the twelve good
men and true OF Tuscola rendered YER
diet for the defendants, The Humane
Society had hoped to make this test
case under the State laws, which provide
that any person guilty OF torturing any
animal shall be subject to fine OF not
more than 5000. The Massachusetts, de-
cision was directly in point, ana al
though the justice before whom !ne
acton was brought was maniiestly In,
martial. the jury, which was composed
largely of friends Of the defendants,
rendered favorable decision on inc
, question OF law impossible.
