THE HOUSE.

When the House met today two unsuccess-
full attempts were made to secure considera-
ton Of private bills.
Mr.. Catchings. from the committee on
rules. then brought in a resolution pro-
v!ding that the previous question shall be
considered adopted at o'clock today, on
the Brawley bill. the rest of the day to be
devoted to debate under the ive-minute
rule.
And that on tomorrow, after the call of
committees for reports, the vote be taken
on the same bill until disposed of.
Mr.. Reed said he desired to call the atten-
ton of the House TO the frequency with
which the machinery of the committee on
rules was invoked for the purpose of clos
ing debate. as IL seemed that a majority OF
100 was Inadequate for controlling the bust
ness of the House.
Mr.. Catchings defended the custom OF
Calling upon the committee rules 10 shut
of debate Fer himself. he very much re-
GREETED that the bill would probably be de-
feated-
Mr. Dingley OIe) regretted that debate
was to be shut of so summarily, for the
question was most important. Only five
members Of the minority had been recog-
nized- He believed that something would
soon be done to provide more elastic bank
currency to provide for the wants of the
people.
The demand for the previous question was
pressed. and IL was ordered on division by
a vote OF 90 to IL. and the resolution was
agreed to.
For Total Repeal.
Mr.. Cox then offered his amendment. pro-
vidlng for the total repeal of the tax on
state banks. He reserved his time.
Mr.. Bowers (Cal) characterized the bill
as bill to pay a premium to men who had
violated the laws. The New York banks
like the New York newspapers were trying
to run the country.

Capt. Watson Tells of the Restoration

Dispatches have been received at the
Navy Department from Capt. Watson. COM

announcing that Clarence. the Mosquito
chief. who had been deposed by the Nicara-
guars. has been put back. and that 1t Is
necessary to protect him. The conditions
are such that. in Capt. Watson's judgment,
a warship must remain at Bluefelds. The
British, he says, take the same view OF the
case and will keep the Magicienne there.
II Is not quite clear from the dispatch
who restored Clarence and who is to pro-
tect him. but 1t is assumed that the restora-
ton was brought about peaceably, or, at
least. without the direct action of the Brit
ish naval forces. Clarence was brought
back to Bluefields on the British warship,
and his protection ashore was guaranteed
BY Lecayo. the Nicaraguan commissioner
The foreign element in Bluefelds and the
citizens generally favored Clarence's restor-
alton. so ii Is probable the protection of
which he stands in need, according to Capt
watson. must be required against the

MAKING IT INTERESTING
Mr.. Reed Has Some Amusement With the
Opposition.
MI. Catchinss Attempts to Reply, but
the Man From Maine Retorts
rs Usual.

Mr.. Reed OF Maine took an active part In
the proceedings OF the House this morn
Ing for few minutes and in a very short
space OF time succeeded. as usual. In max
ing it very interesting for the opposition.
For days at q time Mr.. Reeds voice Is not
heard in the debates and arguments in the
Aouse. and then some days he swoops
down without warning, with q culver full
Of oratorical shafts. which he discharges
into the ranks OF his political opponents.
This morning he twanged a few arrows at
the democratic bulPs-eye, and apparently
every one OF them struck The occasion was
produced by Mr.. Catchings reporting Q
rule from the committee on rules providing
for vote on the bank tax bill and amend
ments tomorrow. The previous question
was ordered and then Mr.. Reed arose.
Repudintfng Their Platform.
II desire to call the attention OF the
House." he said Ito the frequent use OF
this method of closing debate. so different
from the ancient customs which We used
to admire and revere. they having been
fotnd entirely Inadequate to House with
a hundred majority. do not know whether
to regard this as gratifying or not. 1t Is
so from one point of view and rather sad
dening from another.
But am glad to see the anxiety On the
part of the democratic party to come TO
speedy opportunity to repudiate another
portion of their platform AMI l hope they
will 20 on and finish, for II there ever was
q platform to be carefully avoided and to
be stigmatized in the house Of its friends
1t was the platform on which the demo-
Gratis thought they were elected to power
in this country"
MIR. Catchings Reply.
Then Mr. Catchings. in rarly. proceeded
to a defense CT a more elastic and satisfac-
tory currency, which must conc, he saic.
from some sort Of banking institution. At
the conclusion of his remarks Mr.. Reed
arose again.
II am glad that the gentleman agrees
with me-" he said. "that this plank of the
democratic platfrom Is to be repudiated.
That is all / suggested"
II could not have denied what would
probably be demonstrated by the vote OF
the House." answered Mr.. Catchings, but
/ have accompanied my statement with an
expression of regret that II should be so.
THAT is about all that democrat can
do now with his platform" said Mr..
Reed, regret it's adjustment"
Il cannot enter into an encounter OF wit
of that kind, Mr.. Speaker" rejoined Mr..
Catchings. 1T Is not up to the usual
level"
1.-The gentleman is badly situated for such
an encounter" replied Mr. Reed.
The resolution was agreed to after some
further debate

COURT OF APPEALS.
Decisions Rendered I'm Several Cases
of Interest.

Decisions Rendered I'm Several Cases
of Interest.
The Court Of Appeals, in handing down
a number of opinions yesterday afternoon.
decided several interesting matters. In the
cases of Caleb Snoshall and wife against
the Metropolitan Railroad Company, in
which the plaintiffs were awarded 81, 500
because of injuries sustained by Mrs.
Snoshall, the court held that when a rail-
road company invited passengers to ride
upon a crowed platform. no room inside
to be had. by stopping a car that they might
get aboard. the company could not plead
contributory negligence on the part of the
passengers where injuries followed. The
court therefore affirmed the judgment be-
low.
Georgetown Gaslight Company the court
held that every employer whose servants
were engaged in a dangerous work was
bound to exercise due and necessary care to
protect them from all injury. Hines. an EN-
ploye OF the company, was partially asphyx-
lated by gas escaping into a tunnel in which
he was working, the company having
neglected to first cut off the gas.
The court. in the case OF Joseph X. Burch
against the Baltimore and Potomac Rail-
expiring by limitation could not be used.
Mr.. Burch, In May. 1880, attempted to use
an expired round-trip ticket from Landover
Md. to this city. He was put off the train.
and suffered illness. resulting from exposure
to storm. Such a ticket. the court held.
was invalid. ard the conductor was right
In ejecting from the train. The court de-
clared. however. that while such passengers
could be lawfully put on between stations.
they must be carefully and orderly elected
The court. therefore. affirmed the Judgment
OF the lower court, which sustained the rail-
road.

NOT A MURDER.
A Co1ored Woman Defends Herself
With q Hatchet.

A Colored Woman Defends Herself
With q Hatchet.
The police wagon went out from the first
police station in q hurry about l: 80 o'clock
this afternoon because of the receipt Of a
telephone message conveying the news that
murder had been committed in alley in
rear Of 18th street northwest between II
and streets. but when the officers arrived
upon the scene they found that Dolly
Adams, a colored servant in the house of
Mr.. Crawshaw. S24 12th street, had cut a
negro named Heary Brooks on the head
with a hatcaet.
Brooke worked at odd jobs about the
stable. and this afternoon Dolly was clean
ing the yard. Moses wilst n, her father, an
aged man. was In the va ID whitewashing.
and when Brooks entered the yard he re-
marked to the old man: why don't you go
on and do your work.
Dolly laughed at him and made him an
cry. He then turned upon her and accused
her Of being a disreputable person, and
said she was In the work house. This
Dolly denied, whereupon Brooks struck
her and knocked her down on some broken
glass. In doing so he remarked: I'm going
to strike you;" and Dolly retorted: If
you do I'll strike you back"
She vas true to her word. for soon as
she got on her feet she dealt him a blow
on the back Of the head with the Ratchet
and knocked him down. All this time old
man Wilson remained quiet in the stable,
and Brooks made a savage attack on him
with a pitchfork. He attempted to injure
the old man with the fork, but his Brooks }
wife had reached the scene and she pre-
vented serious injury to Wilson. She took
her husband in the ouse and kept him
there until the rolice arrived when he was
taken to the Emergency Hospital. There
1t was found that the wound was not dam
gerous. Judge Miller will settle the affair
tomorrow

ADVOCATES OF WOOL.
They Were Not Elected From the
Marble Room, as Stated.

They Were Not Elected From the
Marble Room, as Stated.
A statement was published today in the
Philadelphia and New York papers to the
effect that two representatives of the Wool
Growers Association were yesterday elected
from the marble room Of the Senate, where
they had been showing samples Of Ameri-
can wool and urging duty Of Ave cents
pound upon that staple. The facts of
the case are ~ follows: Mr.. Theodore Justin
OF Philadelphia some days ago telegraphed
Senator Sherman. asking for his interces-
sion to obtain an interview with Senator
Brice on the subject Of the wool industry.
Mr. Brice readily consented to au inter-
view. and at his invita- ton .Ir. Justin and
Gen. Ransom of New York came TO the
Senate yesterday afternoon. They saw
Mr.. brice in the marble room, exhibited
their samples Of wool and wool clip and q
tabular sheet showing the fluctuations Of
the market.
Mr. Brice instructed a deputy sergeant
alarms to assist the delegates in their de-
sire to interview the Senators from the
wool-producing states. Half dozen or
more Senators responded to their call, they
remaining throughout this time in the
marble room. 1t 10 customary on ordinary
occasions for visitors calling upon Senators
to leave the room after each interview and
secure admission q second time by means
Of card.
But at the suggestion of Mr.. Brice this
was not done yesterday, and Messrs. Ran
som and Justin were permitted to stay in
the room while their cards were being
taken to the Senators. They were not eject
ed from the room, nor did they leave until
they had accomplished their mission OF
presenting their arguments to certain Sen
ators whom they desired to see.
1t is stated, however, that Senator Voor-
hees was approached by Gen. Ransom,
who showed him the samples, and proceeded
to argue for the scent duty. The Senator
was irritated at the endeavor Of the dele
gate to impress him with his errand, and
finally told him, 1t is said, with some show
of temper, that the visitors had no right IN
the marble room with their samples. He
said he would see that they were put out.
and. 1t Is alleged. called deputy sergeant
alarms, who explained the situation to the
Senator. No effort was made to eject the
wool men, and a few minutes later they
left Of their own accord.
