1t is impossible, as yet, to get even an
accurate idea Of the total expenses. This
is because quite a number of witnesses

owed the democratic party 8 grudge,
and had paid it in Secretary of Agri-
culture, who had put the party in an
tagonism to the great agricultural in
terests of the country, which had been
heretofore particularly close to the
democratic organization"
The House passed bill to prevent
prize or bull fighting and pugilistic
contests generally in the territories or
District of Columbia. The debate on
the Senate free coinage substitute for
the House bond bill, which will last
two or three days, was opened, and the
District of Columbia appropriation bill
was defeated. The defeat grew out of
the war that has been waged for sew
eral days against appropriating money
in the bill for sectrian charitable insti-
tutions. Sixty-ope republicans broke
away from the majority. and with the
democrats defeated the bill. This was
the first time, so far as could be learn
ed, that general appropriation bill
had been defeated. and Mr. Crisp made
it the text for satirical speech.
The debate on the silver substitute
for the bond bill did not begin until
three o'clock. Mr.. Dingley opened
with two hours speech, and in the
evening set speeches were heard. The
debate will continue until Friday.
The House committee on agricul-
ture authorized favorable report on a
bill to make oleoma-garine and imita-

Of the enormous mass of bond bids but
they can hardly complete the labor be-
fore Wednesday next. Until it is COM
pleted no definite announcement can
be issued to bidders as to whether their
bids have been accepted or not. There
is a we'll defined opinion, however, that,
beginning with the solitary bidder from
Newfoundland who offered his gold
at the rate OF $50 for fifty dollar per
cent. % wears bond ofthe United States
down to the bed level laid by the Nor
gan syndicate at 110.6S77, all will be &C
cepted. Everything under that figure
will be thrown aside. Mr.. Morgan hav-
ing associated with him one of the

many and having himself an interest in
banking institutions abroad may be
able to give such assurances as TO the

wound in the head received while at

department frequently on sick leave
and returned to his desk in the record
and pension division only this morn

listed in the United States army, serv-
ing through the war. Inquiry made
by the coroner indicated that Shea's

we have had in long time. AT S
o'clock the wind was blowing 40 miles
an hour, and now it is fairly whistling

the centre Of the storm comes it will
probably blow ss much as hundred
miles an hour. That is very unusual.
The wind is from the northeast. The
centre has not reached here as yet, but
as near as I can locate it. it is now
some place over northern Virginia or

is moving most rapidly, both in its
progressive and its rotary motion.
