resentd'ive Breckinridge. OF Kentucky.
proposes to resu ne his congressional du-
ties Tomorrow. He is a member of the
House Appropriations Committee. and was
an active member In that body until called
from his legislative duties to the cee-
brated trial, in which he was defeated, and
witch ended Saturday last. He was about
the House to-day for a few minutes He
first went to the Appropriations Commit
tee-room. where he spoke with several
nembers Of the committee regarding the
work in hand, and entered the House dur
Ing the chaplain's prayer. He was look
Ing better than he did for the past ten
days. The members of the House made
no demonstration when he came in. While
none of the members were effusive in their
greetings. all who he addressed received
ali his addresses in an apparently friendly
spirit
1t is reported that one of the members
OF the Kentucky delegation would offer a
resolution to obtain Mr.. Breckinridge's
expulsion from the House. None of the
delegation could be found who had heard
anything definite regarding the report, and
1t was generally discredted.
MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL TODAY.
WASHINGTON, April 16.--Representa
tive Breckenridge and his counsel were
engaged this afternoon In preparing their
formal motion for a new trial. which Will
be presented to Judge Bradley to-mor-
row. This motion is a mere formality In
the way of an appeal to the District
Court OF Appeals, for no one entertains
the slightest idea that Judge Bradley will
overrule the jury and grant a motion.
The motion will be based upon the usual
grounds that the verdict was contrary TO
law, and was contrary 10 the evidence,
and that the damages were excessive.
The counsel for the defence will press
for hearing on the motion at the ear
liest possible day. as Attorney Stoll Is
anxious to return TO Kentucky. Satur-
day is roton day in Judge Bradley's
court. but the Judge thinks OF taking a |
shor~ vacation. so that the date OF the
hearing is uncertain. The docket Of the |
Court of Appeals Is so crowded that 1t Is |
probable that the appeal cannot be heard |
there before next september. when the
court meets for It's fall term. The cost |
of an appeal to this court is so great |
that ii might we'll deter the defence from
prosecuting the case further. Ii will be |
necessary to have printed for the court,
at the expense OF the appellant, record |
Of the proceedings I'm the Circuit Court, |
and this, considering the length OF such |
a document will be a heavy expense In
itself

ton statement from Miss Madeline
Pollard, in regard TO her intentions for

for the kind letters which have come
to me and my counsel from all parts Of
the United States during the terrible or
deal through which | have just passed
"If the future holds anything for me
il cannot be In the direction of publicity |
and sensation. If my unframed literary
ambition is 10 receive any reward or
justification It must come with labor and
patience, and / have no idea of going
on the stage or lecture platform, or
otherwise accentuating publicity which
my unfortunate career has had in this
trial. l have been applied to by various
but | have not brought myself TO think
that this would be wise step, and if
should take it, will only be because
| believe myself able In a good sense to
point to the moral Of my misguided
life, and TO awaken good sentiments in
the public rather than to keep alive bad
sensations.
