ArLAsr years congressional election
in the eth district, the democratic can
didate received over fifteen thousand
votes. At the similar election in that
district last Tuesday, the falling Oft in
that vote is estimated at fifty per cent.
Had the republicans polled their full
vote. and the democratic vote been no
larger than ii was, they would have
elected their candidate If the lack OF
democratic enthusiasm be as great in
the other districts of the State, there is
no certainty that the Virginia delesa-
ton in the next Congress will be as sol
idly democratic rs it is in the present
one. 1t was the same way in New
York at the recent special election
there. But some wise men foresaw
this condition before the Chicago con-
Vention.

As ANTICIPATED, the U. S. House of
Representatives, late yesterday even
ing. passed the new tariff bill. 1t did
so, TOO, by even larger majority than
was expected The Senate will do
likewise, eventually, but not, it is
hoped, until the bill is amended so as
to make it less of a protective, and
more of a revenue measure, by impos-
ing revenue duty on Virginia coal, or,
what would be better, by removing the
protective duty on northern manufac-
lures made by burning that coal.

FIFTY THIRD CONGRESS-.
SENATE

A joint resolution authorizing the
Secretary of the Treasury to procure
suitable cases for the bronze medals
awarded exhibitors at the Worlds Co.
lumbar Exposition, was passed.
Mr.. Quay gave notice of an amend
ment which he proposed to offer to the
House tariff bill. 1t provides for the
free coinage of silver, for the coinage Of
all the silvernow in the Treasury, for
the repeal of the two per cent. tax on
State banks, for the monthly pur-
chase of 145,0 ounces of gold, payable
in Treasury notes drawing one-tenth of
one per cent. interest, and prohibits the
further issue of bonds for any purpose
whatever.
The resolution of inquiry offered yes
terday by Mr.. PETER requiring the
names of firms making offers for bonds
and of those to which bonds are issued,
etc., was laid before the Senate and
Mr.. Sherman moved to strike out the
words requiring names to be given,
saying the publication would be con-
trary to precedent and might be very
injurious to the public credit.
Mr.. Allen argued in support Of the
resolution.
Mr.. Plat said that he could not I'M
derstand why there should be such a
burning and consuming desire to know
the names of the men who have been
offering to lend the money to the gov
eminent at three per cent.
Mr.. Allen-"What is the necessity for
the government borrowing money now:
Is not Congress provided with ample
power to provide money for the imme-
date Use of the government?
THAT is another question; said Mr.
Platt
Mr.. Stewart suggested that if any
question came up hereafter as to the
validity of the bonds, it might he we'll
to have the names of the original pur
chasers.
After a long discussion. Mr.. Sher
man Withdrew his amendment to
Mr.. Pefler's resolution of inquiry as
10 the names of the bidders for, and pur-
chasers of the new bond issue-al-
though, he said, it was very bad ex
ample-and the resolution was agreed
to.
The Stewart bond resolution was
then laid before the Senate and Mr..
Villas made q legal argument against
the resolution, and moved an amend
ment to it so as to permit the applica
ton OF the proceeds to appropriations
made by Congress.

HOUSE.
Immediately after the reading of yes
terday's journal MIR. Catchings brought
in special order for the consideration
of the Hawaiian resolutions. Two
legislative days after the adoption of
this order are to be given to consider
alton and the vote will be taken at
four o'clock on the last day. Mr.. Bou-
telle made a point of order that his
question of privilege relating to his
own Hawaiian resolution should take
precedence over special order brought
in by Mr.. Catchings from the commit
tee on rules to devote the next two
days to consideration of the resolutions
from the committee on foreign affairs,
relative to Hawaii. He demanded the
previous question on this resolution.
While Mr.. Catching was explaining
the rule to regulate the Hawaiian
debate, he said it had not been submit
ted to the gentleman from Maine, Mr..
Boutelle, because the committee knew
in advance that nothing would receive
his approval which did not give him
free rein to perform his fantastic bed
lamite gyrations on the floor.
Amid slight laughter on the demo
cratic side Mr.. Boutelle called the gen.
tlemen to order and demanded that his
words be taken down and that the gen
tleman resume his seat. The words
We're reported from the clerks desk and
Mr.. McNlillin moved that Mr.. Catch
ing be permitted to proceed in order.
On this motion the yeas were l57, nays,
none. Mr.. Boutelle made the point of
no quorum,
Mr.. Breckenridge suggested that I'M
til the words had been dec Jared out of
order by the Speaker, the gentleman
was under no necessity to refrain from
speaking.
The point OF no quorum was with
drawn by Mr.. Boutelle and the motion
of Mr.. McMillin was declared to have
been adopted. Mr.. Catchings proceed
ed with his explanation.
His first sentence, however, in which
he spoke of Mr.. Boutelle's "harmless
mania for making, on all occasions, an
exhibition of himself brought out an
other call to order from the gentle
man from Maine. Mr.. Boutelle de,
manded ruling by the Speaker on
the words spoken in connection with
the rule governing debate, which for
bids the use of personalities. The
question was one of interest, and men,
bers gathered in front Of the clerks
desk to hear the Speakers decision,
which was: The chair thinks the Ian
guage is not parliamentary.
On motion of Dir Cultivate, Mr..
Catcnings was permitted to explain
his remarks. He had spoken two or
three words when MIR. Boutelle asked
that he kindly repeat his remarks, hay
ing understood him to nave again in
dulged in personalities. Order having
been restored, Mr.. Catchings proceed
ed to explain in which he said that he
had been provoked by Mr.. Boutelle's
allusion to him as "the guardian of the
rights and privileges Of the House" and
uttered the words complained OF, the
first in his service Of nearly ten years
that any one had complained of He
was then permitted to proceed with his
discussion of the order.

The House committee on finance
made favorable report on the bills to
establish new courts in Richmond and
Norfolk. The bills having also received
the approval of the committee on
courts of justice are almost certain of
passage.

and elections had under consideration
Yesterday morning the bills offered by
Mr. Buford, of Brunswick, looking to

not reached.
A movement is on foot to make the

the General Assembly. Senator Stubs
is said to be the leading advocate of the
change. If bill with this object in
view is offered it will meet with much
opposition.
When the Miller bill reaches the
House it is not likely to be referred.
An effort will be made to take it up at
once and pass it.
The House on Thursday passed the
Senate bill to amend an act incorporat-
ing the Falls Church and Potomac
Railway Company, and the House bills
to amend the code in relation to COM
pulsory vaccination, and to place Geo.

MONTEITH BALKED.
He WIZ Not Be Allowed to Subpoena
the President and Members of tho
General Managers' Association.

San Francisco Nov. 27.-Nefther
President Cleveland nor any of the,
eastern railroad men comprising the
General Managers association, will be
called to California to testify in the
strike conspiracy cases now on trial
here before United States District
Judge Morrow.
Attorney Montieth. representing the
American Railway union, recently de-
m2nded that President Cleveland De-
summoned to give testimony as to why
he issued his strike proclamation de-
claring martial law and why the troops
were called out. Subpoenaes were also
demanded for members Of the General
Managers association.
The defense sought to prove that the
mails were not stopped by the a. r. u,
but through a conspiracy in which
President Cleveland and the General.
Managers association figured. and that
the calling out Of troops was but an
incident of this alleged conspiracy.
Judge Morrow ruled today that ne
had nc authority to subp0enae any wit
ness from any point outside the judicial
district in which ne presides.
The Judge said the defense had argu-
ed that the railroad companies had de-
layed the mails and that the testimony
of the president and others would be
needed to prove it. This the court held
was not material. In this cas- it would
do no good to prove that the railroad
companies had delayed the mails. This
would not show that the defendants
were innocent. If the president had
called out the troops to suppress the
strike in opposition to the constitution,
1t would prove nothing as to the re-
sponsibility of the strike. He, there
fore, denied the motion.
Attorney Montieth them made ap-
plication to have the deposition Of
President Cleveland taken. Judge Nor
row took the application under consid-

PRETTY QUESTION OF LAW.

1t Arises Out of the Recent Election
in idaho.
Boise City, Ida, Nov. 27.-ISpeciaIl-
A very pretty question of law has
arisen over the vote at the recent cleo
ton on the constitutional amendment
segregating the offices OF county school
superintendent and probate judge.
The constitution provides, tAnd, if a
majority of the electors shall ratify
the same, such amendment Or amend
ments shall become part Of this con-
stitution.'
Only portion of the voters voted on
the amendment; consequently, while it
has large majority of votes, it has
not a majority of the electors, and the
attorney general holds it is lost. AS
there is no means of ascertaining the
number of qualified electors in the
state on election day, or the number
actually participating in the election,
the question becomes complicated. 1t
is not known what the board of can
vassers will do.
