1t was thought last night that Major
Darlington and Lieu Rhodes, the re
manning members Of Gen. Breckenridge
sta6, would remain here and complete
the inspection. Late this afternoon. how

coming towards him and as the fellow
came up the guard commanded him TO
halt. The stranger acted as though lost
at first and kept feeling about him. and
then dashed towards the guard. The
man paid no attention TO the guard, and
when the stranger got close enough the
guard discovered it was a soldier. but
that The fellow was acting strangely. The
corporal of the guard was called and
the matter was investigated.
It was discovered that he was Private
Mckay, Of the Fifth Illinois. which is the
next regiment TO the Wisconsin boys. The
soldier acted in such an insane manner
that he was taken TO the hospital and to-
day was adjudged temporarily insane.

LESS THAN AN HOUR.
The House Holds Short and Unim-
porfant Session.


The House was in session less than an
hour yesterday.
On motion of Mr. Payne the Senate
bill granting an American register to the
steamship China was passed.
Mr. Underwood of Alabama said the
committee ought to bring in a general bill
granting American registers TO foreign
ships. He said that the United States
Government is paying five dollars and a
half per ton for the transportation of coal
from Mobile to Port Tampa. more than
the legitimate coal rate; that the ship
ping laws will not permit the transpor-
tation Of the coal by foreign ships and the
Plant System had made arbitrary rates
by which the Government was being
robbed
Mr. Payne said it was better to suffer
extortion than to change the laws so as
TO permit foreign vessels to carry our
coastwise trade.
Mr.. Lacey called up the Senate bill pro-
viding that enlistment in the Army shall
not invalidate a homesteaders right 10
his entry; that the time OF his service in
the Army shall be credited the same as
if the honesteader had received on his
entry.
Mr.. Loud of California said there was
wild disposition pervading Congress and
the department to enact war legislation
He did not believe such a law was neces-
sary.
Mr.. Lacey replied that the land office
had already decided that homesteaders
enlisting in the Army would lose their
homesteads under the existing law.
