what Was Done by Senators and Repre-
ssntatives at Yesterdays Session.
WASHINGTON, March 29.-In the House,
on motion OF Mr.. Dockery of Missouri,
n resolution was adopted asking the
Secretary il the mints were sufficient to
execute the authorized coinage.
In the Senate Mr.. Hoar introduced n
bill. which was referred, TO amend the
act to facilitate the disposition OF cases
in the Supreme Court of the United
States.
Mr.. Morgan offered resolution, which
was agreed to, calling on the President
for correspondence with the Argentine
Republic on the subject OF reciprocity;
and for information as TO articles eX-
ported thereto from the United States,
on which the United States requires re-
duction Of the customs duties imposed by
the Argentine Republic 80 as to make
reciprocity fair and equal.
The Senate bill to allow 30 days leave of
absence TO employees IN ths Bure9u OF
Engraving and Printing was taken up
and discussed.
Mr.. Sherman said that there was some
reason why annual furloughs should be
given to men in regular, permanent en-
ployment under the Government, but
none why IL should be given to mea en-
ployed on piece work.
Mr.. Halo took the same view of the
question, and said that the old rule and
the good one was to give fu:loughs only
to those in steady employment who had
no control over their time. Mr.. Carey,
who reported the bill from the Commit
tee on Education and Labor, argued in
favor of the bill.
After further discussion, Mr.. Hale
moved to lay the bill on the table. The
motion was defeated--Yeas 16; nays 80.

CONTRARY to an evidently general i'm

self as candidate for the presidency. j
did say, after Mr.. Blaine had declared
that he was not candidate, that should
ask the delegation from Illinois to vote
for me in the convention, as a recognition
of my public services. regard the presi-
dency of the United States not only as the
highest gift which the people can confer
I'm this country, but as the highest office

During the concert Mr.. Ryan, by re-

were enthusiastically received.
The Southern melodies, sung by the
entire company, were very pleasing and

rich contralto was very pleasing.

PREDICTION FULFILLED.
Republicans Listening to Speaker Who
Had His Success Predicted Years Ago.

The late Chief Justice Appleton of
this state had in his possession many
years, and retained until his death, a let
ter from one of his sons. He took great
pleasure in reading it to his old friend
and companion late in life, Hannibal
Hamlin. He readit great many times.
The letter was written by the son
when in college. 1t was to the effect
that young friend of his who was in
college, would go down east in few
days to teach "a country school during
the vacation season, and young Appleton
wanted his father to go down to the
stage-coach house, and when the mail
came in seek out this friend, take him
home and keep him over night, as he
had but little money. ''You will know
him. Appleton wrote, '.by his fat face,
homespun clothes of gray, and by his
broad brim hat. He is good fellow, he
has great head for learning, and if he
lives will make a mark in the world. If
you don't pick him out, ask the stage
driver to show you Tom Reed; he knows
him.
Judge Appleton went down and found
Tom. He took him home and gave him
a supper, good bed and a breakfast, and
helped him in another way toward his
school district. The good fellow with
the great head is now stumping for the
Republicans in Massachusetts, and, as
usual, doing splendid work. He has
'smade his mark in the world"
