WASHINGTON, D. c. April 1.-The at
tendance OF tho members was again
meager to-day, and this factwas cmpha-
sized by Mr.. Bailey, Of Texas, who,
without antagonizing any special meas.
ure, made tho point that no quorum
was present and several bills that were
called up had 10 be withdrawn in order
10 clear tho track for tho regular busi-
ness OF tho house.
Mr.. Norton, OF Missouri, was the first
gentleman fortunate enough to secure
the passage OF his iavorte measure. 1t

bridge across tho Missouri rivcrat st.
Charles.
Mr.. Catchings, Of Mississippi, from
committee on rules, reported back 4 res
olution for tho appointment OF 4 special
committee OF seven members to invcsti-
gate the charges made against the CEN
sus bureau.

mittse could conduct tho investigation
moro satisfactorily.

manded the previous question, where
upon Mr.. Miller, of Wisconsin, assumed
tho role OF tilibuster. lie moved an
adjournment, and this being defeated by
a vote OF l2G to 9 (Mr. Kilgorc, OF Texas,
good-naturedly voting with Mr.. Miller),

this no made tho point of no quorum.
Mr.. Catchings called attention to the
rules, which provided that pendinga re-
port from the committee on rules but
one motion to adjourn shall be enter
timed.
Mr.. Miller denounced the rules, de.
claring that the business OF the house
would be conducted better without any
rules. The house had spent the time
OF this session doing nothing or worse
than nothing, all on account OF these
rules.
Mr.. Wilcox. OF Connecticut, said there
was no necessity for the ordation OF 4
special committee. The standing COM
mittee on the eleventh census was
abundantly able to conduct the inquiry.
He offered an amendment putting the
investigation in charge Of that commit
tee.
Agreed to.

ANOTHER SCANDAL
In English Society Almost Similar to the
Osborne Affair." ,s.t=.s-

In English Society Almost Similar to the
Osborne Affair.
LONDON, April 1.-Another Osborne
"pearl case" has come TO light. The
facts OF the case so far as known are
that q we'll known society lady, tho
wife OF an officer in the army, some
time ago had stolen a valuable brooch.
Just prior to missing the piece of
jewclry the lady was packing trunk
or handbag and she thought for time
that the brooch had been misplaced. 1t
never entered her head that it had been
stolen. Some little tmo later the lady
was visiting jewclry store and was
greatly surprised to see displayed for
sale a brooch that resclnblcd hers in
every respect. She asked to be allowed
to examine the brooch and soon found
beyond doubt that it was tho one sho
had lost. She asked the jew olers whcro
they had got it and they told her it had
been sold TO them by Il certain lady,
mentioning the name OF her bosom
friend. ~
Then the officers wife recalled that
this friend had helped her at tho timo
sho was doing her packing and she was
left no other option than to believe that
her friend had stolen the brooch. Tho
officers wife was naturally indignant
that her friend should have treated her
in such manner, and upon returning
home at once wrote her, telling OF her
discovery and charging her with the
theft. The result was that the bosom
friend at onco communicated with her
solicitors, laid the lettor bcioro them
and instructed them to Immediately be-
gin an action for libel against her &C.
cuser. The outcome OF the casc is
eagerly looked forward 10.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
On tho Whole Worry satisfac.ory-H. G. Dun
6 Co.'s Weckir Hrrinw.

& Co.'s Weekly Review.
NEw IoHK, April l.--R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review OF trade will say:
The business outlook is distinctly i'm
proving. There has come distinct in
crease in the marketing OF manuiac-
tured products and greater activity in
many lines OF domestic trade. This is
in part due TO more favorable weather
in most sections and the improved con-
dition OF country roads and to the
prospect OF an early spring.
The manufacturers arc doing well.
Probably the cotton manufacture has
never turned out as great quantity OF
goods at any other time as it has this
year thus far with less accumulation OF
its products in the hands OF manuiac-
turers or Wholesale dealers. The dis
tribution has been remarkably large
and the results OF trade generally salts
factory, as prices OF the materials have
been declining, while goods, though on
tho whole as cheap as at any other time,
are fairly maintained in price.
In the iron trade the bottom seems
to have been reached. More business
ssccn at Philadelphia and many fur.
naces have ceased production, SO that
fewer forced sales are reported, though
new and large furnace in Alabama
begins work. No improvement in bar
iron, but some in plates, and in. struc.
tural iron the demand is better than a
year ago.
