WORLDS FAIR BILL.
The Discussion on the Joint Re

WASHINGTON, Aug. g. Before
the passage Of the resolution there
was spirited debate Ia the House,
Holman made a speech OF some
length, declaring he had been act
ing In harmony with the action of
the house, that the gentleman from
Illinois [Hopkins1 bad objected
Hopkins was willing, said Holman,
TO stop the wheels of legislation in
order to compel the house to give
five millions To corporation In
Chicago.
Reed (Maine) replied. Holman,
said he, had offered an example of
unexaIupled courage With Dem
ocratic majority of more than 140, OF
which he was the factional leader,
the house had stopped the business
of government, and now Holman
was endeavoring TO charge this
stoppage on somebody else. He
(Holman) had deliberately blocked
the wheels of business. The Worlds
fair legislation had received the
sanction of the senate without re-
gard to party. Futher than that, it
had the sanction of the Democratic
house, and there was nothing
against IT but miserable technical
ity, that some gentlemen thought
the Worlds fair matter ought not
to be an appropriation BILL. Yet the
gentleman from Indiana had the
courage TO stand before the house
and the country and charge the re
suit of his own action to another
member, to charge in house of 140
Democratic majority the stopping

that which carried man through

that the wheels of government were

Acceptance of Straw Bonds.

DENVER, Col, Aug. 2.-The big
mining suit of A. w. Bucker, of AS
pen, against Harvey Young is still
hanging fire between the district
and the supreme court. The de-
fendant filed a bond in the sum OF
100000 which was approved by
Judge Beatty. Rucker's lawyers
maintain that the court was impos-
ed upon and that the bond is Of no
account. An affidavit made by the
plaintiff, Rucker, in New York, on
the 30th inst, is on file in the case.
Mr.. Rucker swears that the princi-
pal, Otto Mears, has very little, il
any, property not encumbered for a
larger sum than the same would
bring if its creditors should proceed
against him. Rucker also claims
that L. G. Enrich, another surety,
during the present month had made
an effort at Colorado Springs to Dor
row $4,000 on a note, with j. B.
Wheeler as lndorser,a and that he fail

remaining sureties have any pro-

ed that when the case has been ad-
judicated so far as the district court
was concerned, and when the ap-
peal bond had been approved and
filed, the court lost jurisdiction of
the case, and Its orders made had to
stand.

The Letter May Cause Trouble

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Some
very sharp correspondence is prom
ised between the second controller
of the treasury and the secretary of
the navy, as soon as the latter learns
that the former has expressed him
self, in an official letter, as doubling
the word of the head of the navy
department. 1t seems that Colonel
McCowley. lately deceased, was
asked by the department to vacate
the quarters he was occupying in
this city while awaiting retirement
and proceed to Philadelphia. This
was done by the secretary, he says,
to enable certain repairs to be made
to the house occupied by the colonel
at the headquarters. The case fin
ally came before the controller, who
decided that Colonel McCowley was
not entitled to be paid communication
for quarters, Secretary Tracy wrote
the controller that McCowley had
vacated the quarters for "the con-
venience of the government" The
controller, in a letter which he wrote
to the navy department, said that
the officer had not vacated bis
quarters in Washington for the
benefit Of the government or for Its
convenience, but that the whole
matter was conducted with "A view
to hiring the case within the regula-
tions emitting the officer to commu-
tation. In other words the secre.
tary was guilty Of trying to swindle
the government and then lying
about it. The controllers letter

secretary never saw it. The officers

orally testifying that Cobb was suf-

terruptions and much badgering.
Bynom testified 1t was not uncom-
mon practice for members to take
bullion, beef tea, coffee, and other
stimulaDts out Of cup during long
continued arguments, and from his
knowledge of Cobb's physical con-
dtion, he was satisfied that the gen.

for two hours without taking some
