| Congrss and the Circuit Court.
| WASHINGTON, March Sl-The Pollard
| Breckinridge trial yesterday came near
bringing on a conflict OF authority be-
tween Congress and the courts OF the
| District. In q general warrant prepared
by Speaker Crisp for the arrest of abb
sentees from the House during the de-
bate over the O'Neill-Joy contested-elec-
! tion case the name OF Representative
| Breckinr,dge, of Kentucky was included,
and It is learned that a deputy sergeant
alarms went TO the courthouse yester
| day to serve It on the defendant. Colonel
| Breckinridge was on the wtness-stand
when this officer arrived. and the deputy
made application TO the office Of the
United States Marshal for advice as to
how ne could serve the warrant.
The officials Of the Marshals office de-
clined 10 allow the warrant 10 be served
while Colonel Breckenridge was on the
witrcss-stand. and the deputy was also
Informed that he would make himself
anienabe 10 punishment for contempt of
court by attempting 10 serve It during
the pendency Of the trial. The sergeant
alarms deputy was also told that the
court officers would resist any attempt
20 arrest Colonel Breckinridge on the
Speakers warrant and he was obliged to
80 away without his man.
Unless some understanding Is arrived
at there may be a renewal OF the effort
20 take possession Of Mr.. Breckenridge
by authority Of the House on Monday
next, ana should the sergeant-at-arms get
i'm his work before the court convenes an
interesting situation would be developed.

CINCINNATI. March 3l.-Several ques-
tions IN the Pollard Breckenridge suit are
reopened by a discovery which was made
this morning az Wesleyan Academy. The
register Of Madeline Pollard was sought
for in vain when dcpostions we're IN
progress at Cincinnati. In a locked draw
er Of an old sideboard, which no one had
ever thought Of. Mrs. Brown, wife OF
President Brown. to-day came upon the
lost register for the term beginning Sep
tember 10, 1888. In that register on page
20. is set down the following entry
Name of pupil, Pollard, Madeline Wv
ian; entered November 20th, aged sixteen;
name Of parent or guardian. Mrs. }. d.
Pollard; residence. Frankfort Ky. stud
les, French, Latin, rhetoric, arithmetic,
elocution."
Mrs. Brown cannot remember what
class Miss Pollard entered, but she thinks
that the girl came as an irregular sopho-
more. She says that there was nothing
10 distinguish Miss Pollard from other
girls Of her age. except that she was un-
usually studiOus and apparently very am
bilious In serious way
Finally Mrs. Brown had a word to say
about Rosells farewell Of Miss Pollard
lie was, indeed, permitted 10 kiss her
good-by but IL was done in the presence
OF the teacher. 10 is very probable that
Mrs Brown will be asked TO go 10 Wash
ington to testify, and II is said she will
comply.

LEXINGTON. KY, March 31.-The wo-
men whose names have been mentioned
as having Signed a petition TO Congress
20 impeach Colonel Breckenridge indig-
nantly deny that they have signed such a
paper. Mrs. Frank X. Hunt said she had
not signed the petition. but she would
90 so II IL was presented to her.
II think" she said, that this story was
got up by friends Of Colonel Breckin-
ridge to force denials from the women
mentioned as signers and then to twist
their denials into expressions in favor
Of Colonel BreclSinridge. | feel safe to
say that all women Of Lexington de-
nounce Colonel Breckenridge
