HOUSE IN A BAD TEMPER.
Whole Session Consumed in FiIibus-
tering Against Two Bills.

Washington, Feb. 1O.-Mr. Walker,
Rep, of Virginia, in the House to-day,
presented the report of the committee en-
elections No. 3 of the contested case of
Thorpe vs.. Eppes, from the Fourth district
of Virginia. The majority report was
signed by all the Republican members of
the committee. and was in favor of seat
ing the contestant, Mr.. Thorpe.
The House was in a very bad temper to-
day, and the whole session was consumed
in tilibustering against two bills of minor
Importance. Neither got further than the
engrossment and third reading. The trou-
BILE arose over the enforcement of the rule
against the discussion of irrevelant sub
jects, when Mr.. Handy, Dem, of Della
ware, attempted to reply on the floor dur
ing the consideration of those bills to a
letter recently written by Thomas F..
Bayard, Secretary of State under the
Cleveland administration, in denunciation
of the free silver Democracy. Roll-call
followed roll-call all day long, and par
tisan feeling reached "a high pitch Final
ly, when it became evident no progress
could be made with the bills presented, an
adjournment was taken until Monday.

WIDOWS WITH PENSION wADs.
House Committee Refuses to Cut
Them or If They We'd

Washington, Feb. 10.-The battle which
has been waged in the House committee
on invalid pensions ever since the as
semblage of Congress on the question of
barring from the pension rolls the widows
and children of so diers who marry here
after came to az end to-day in the defeat
of the proposition.
A measure with this end in view was in
troduced by Representative Samuel Smith
of Michigan, and it had the endorsement
of Commissioner of Pensions Evans.
The question has been agitating the
committee at each of its meetings, and
to-day, after a very spirited discussion,
Representative Norton, Dem, of Ohio,
brought 1t to a sudden close by demanding
a vote on the question of favorably re-
porting 1t to the House. The vote dis
closed FIVE members of the committee ia
favor of 1t and seven against it, the di-
vision not being on party lines.
This probably ends the effort to secure
the enactment of a general measure along
this line at this session. Chairman Ray
who was instructed at the last meeting
to appoint a subcommittee to draft a
service pension bill notified the committee
to-day that he would appoint the commit
tee in a few days.

fable homicide.
Young Brown was not an invited guest
at the dance He had gone out to hunt pos
sums and came upon the dance in the
course of his ramble. He went in and was
made welcome by the country maidens.

ties, the bully of the settlement, feeling
that the new conner was outshining him.
When Brown led out his partner for a
dance, Suttles with a girl upon his arm
came up and claimed the place. Brown de-
clined TO yield and then the row began in
earnest.
Suttles made a vicious attack upon the
boy with a knife, so savagely assaulting
| him that Browns partner received a Sc
we're wound on her hand.
Brown got hold of his pistol and defend
ed himself with it. sending two bullets into
the body of Suttles, one of them piercing
his heart.
The tragedy caused a paric among the
dancers.

PRUSSIA AND OUR HORSES.
Entry TO BE Prohibited Only in Case
of Disease.

Washington, Feb. 10-The following
statement was made to-day to the Secre-
tary of State by the German ambassador:
Certain declarations of the Royal Prus-
sian minister of agriculture have evidently
been distorted. The minister answered to
an inquiry made to him in the Prussian
diet that we had to wait if any evidence
might be furnished of veterinary dangers
from the importation of American horses
Only then in case of such dangers should
have been proved would there be reason
to take energetic measures, or impose a
quarantine, as far as we are entitled to do
SOL
This explanation was called forth by the
cabled statement that the Prussian minis
ter of agriculture had said that American
horses infected with influenza were being
imported, and 1t might become necessary
TO forbid the further Importation of horses
