Washington, May 20.—Holman, of In-
iHaii**. from tho committee on appropri
ations, reported the executive, legislative
mid bidicial appropriation bill, and it was
).,".[*, "ivd to tlie committee of tlie whole.
i.’itvkenridge, of Arkansas, from the
committee on ways and means, called up
tin hill providing that for a period of five
vt-Mi ' no mackerel other than that known
Spanish mackerel, caught between tin:
tjrst iif March and the first of June, shall
he imported or landed in the United States.
Brcckenridge made a brief explanation of
the bill, atm Hewitt, of New York, stated
ids intention of speaking against it. There
for, , in order to clear the way for other
business, the consideration of the bill v. as
postponed until to-morrow,and the house
v. , i ; t into a committee of the whole 'Ham-
i.inu,] jn the cl.nir) on the senate amend-
11,ciits io the post-office appropriation bill.
The amendment setting apart >40,000
of the appropriation for free delivery ser
vice for the establishment qf the free de
liver'- -.stem in cities where it is not now
Ji.-iied, was concurred in. The amend
ment as non-concurred in which author
ize., tii postmaster general to contract for
inland and foreign steamboat service when
it can he combined iu one route ; also the
amendment increasing by $80,000 the ap
propriation for the railway post office car
service. The amendment was concurred
in increasing from $231,725 to $291,000 the
appropriation for necessary and special
facilities on trunk lines.
The foreign mail service amendment
having been reached, Blount, of Georgia,
moved non-concurrence in it.
Burrows, of Michigan, moved concur
rence in the amendment with the follow
ing amendment thereto: Provided, that
not ex ceding $40,000 of the amount herein
apple >mfea shall be expended in pay
ment f existing American steamship lines
for an transportation of foreign mails, ac-
coiaig to schedules heretofore in force,
and tli -,t so much of the balance as may he
required shall be expended in increasing
the frequency of the postal service of
such steamship lines ana in the establish
ment of a postal service by American built
and registered steamships between the
United States and such ports of the foreign
countries herein named not now connected
with the United States bv American steam
ship lines as the postmaster general may
select, including Buenos Ayers and Monte-
vidio.
Dougherty, of Florida, offered an amend
ment providing that $200,000 oiliall be ex
pended for the establishment of a mail line
from the gulf ports to port3 in Central and
South America.
Taylor, of Tennessee, offered an amend
ment providing that $100,000 be applied to
the transportation of foreign malls by ex
isting lines running from New Orleans and
central and South American ports.
Hewitt, of New York, moved to strike
out the appropriation for $soo,UOO and in
sert one of $100,000, and to arid to the sen
ate amendment the following: “And the
postmaster-genera! shall as far os possible
cause the mails of the United States to he
carried to and from said places, respect
ively, in American built and regis
tered steamships, provided the same can
be carried for reasonable compensation to
be determined, but not exceeding the rate
of 50 cents per nautical mile for the dis
tance usually traveled in the most direct
and feasible course between the terminal
points herein before specified
Findlay,of Maryland, favoied the senate
amendment which was simply a proposi
tion to pay adequate compensation for
services rendered, and he could not see
that there was any ground for the cry of
subsidy which was raised by the gentle
men who rubbed thoii hands in glee and
thanked God that they were
not sabsidists. The compulsory law hav
ing been repealed, and the steamship com
pany having refused to carry mails for the
c lap usation offered by tne postmaster
gtnerak that officer was placed iu a strait.
The mails were collecting on the wharves
at San Francisco, and the Pacific mail
steamer refused to take them, and tlie
postmaster general was forced to telegraph
Ids agent at San Francisco to Imy a passen
ger ticket and take the mall us baggage.
The mails, he contended, should be carried
with some regard for decency and proprie
ty. The compulsory law was repealed,
and lie defied the house to re-enact it.
P-andal], of Pennsylvania, called atten
tion to the curious spectacle presented to
Pm senate amendment which involved an
’ xponditure of $100,000, but which had not
one word of executive suggestion or ap
proval to commend it. There was no esti
mate for the appropriation. It emanated
h'etr. Hit- senate, a body which hud been

‘ lie senate amendment was non-con- |
cui'i'eri in without division, and the coin- *
nutte rose, and reported its action to tlie 1
house, The recommendations of the com
mute',: were all agreed to without division
with the exception of tlie foreign mail
service amendment, which was non-con-,
unreel in by a vote of yeas 17S, nays SO.
' lie announcement of the result was re
ceived with a round of applause from the 1
'' inocratic side. Tlie bill and aim ndraont
ported and in support of the a:'m.'.dinciit
providing for a tunnel instead of a bridge.
Frye. Vest and Dolpli argued ill favor of
the bridge project.
At 2 o'clock the bankruptcy bill was
placed before the senate and temporarily
laid aside to permit the continued consul-,
erntiwi of the bridge bill.
An amendment offered by Vest was
agreed to, authorizing t he secretary of war,
if lie should deem any alteration of the
bridge necessrry nr the entire removal of
the bridge necessary to avoid obstruction
to commerce, he nmy order its alteration
or removal at the expense of the owners,
and if the bridge be not finished within
two years 1 he right to build shall cease and
terminate.
McPherson's amendment fora tunnel in
stead of a bridge was rejected—veils 6. nays
10. The senators voting in the affirmative
were Bowen, Hampton, McPherson,Plumb
and Sewcil.
After farther debate and the voting down
of some amendments, the hill was passed
by a viva voice vote as reported from the
committee with the sole addition of Vest’s
amendment. The roll call on one
of the atuendmei Is disclosed the fact that
no quorum voted, but there was clearly a
quorum in the chamber, several senators
who were paired having refrained from
voting. A call for the yens and nays, was 1
by unanimous consent, withdrawn.
The bankruptcy bill was then laid before |
the senate ana at 6:10 p. in., the senate ad- j
journed.

Chicago. Mnv 20.—P. D Armour said
last evening : “We will give our men no-
tict soon, before the end of the month,
that we desire to return to the old ten hour
system or shul up. The re will lie no strike
or lockout. It is not a bluff, but a simple
declaration of our determination. We
cannot run unless at the old hours and
prices, and do not intend to make any fuss
about it. The packers have come to this
agreement.'’
When tills statement was made to Vice-
President McElligatt, of the t rades assem
bly, he. simply remarked: “That's
just what f feared." McElligatl
is one of the committee which
organized the packers and waited on the
employers to obtain their answer on the
proposition in the first place. “I have
bet n to three delegate meetings at the
stock yards this week.' he continued, ‘‘and
I will lie only fair to the men when
I say they have been expecting
this moveivuni all ah nig. Hot-headed
ones wanted to strike for their demand,
but wise council prevailed and after three
nights' discussion the men have decided to
otter to work 8 hours l’or 8 hours’ pay rath
er than go hack to the old system. J foal*
the packers will not accept even these
terms. It makes, me fearful fer the
8 nour movement. With 2500 packers put
back, with the lumbermen and moldcrs
cliscomfitted, it looks badly to me. 1 would
not he surprised to see a general backward
movement.”

At 1 o'clock this afternoon the consecra

Pittsburg, May 20. A registered letter
was sent from Coal Valley to-day to Mrs.
Lucy Parsons, Chicago, wife oftni noted
anarchist. H was thought, before that he
was hiding with friends in the Mononga-
hela valley. Following the clue given by
the letter, a detective has been for several
day's looting for him in the Coal valley.
His efforts have been unavailing, except
that he is now convinced that Parsons is
not far from there. The detective has
been working up the case and has almost
positive proof that Parsons is either ill the
valley or near by, and is keeping n close
guard.
Tlimurlit lb* Sun Him.
Chicago, May 20.—The Daily News is in
receipt of information which it deems pos
itive as to the whereabouts of the fugitive
anarchist. Parsons. The sheriff at Talla
hassee, Fla., telegraphed last Tuesday that
Parsons and a companion had gone
through Tallahassee and were bound
for either Cedar Keys or Tampa,
and were supposed to be heading
for Cuba, as steamers leave both ports for
Havana. A return telegram was sent for a
description of Parsons and the description
telegraphed back tallied precisely with
that of Parsons. The anarchist was recog
nized at a station called Baldwin, but was
not apprehended. If Parsons sailed Wed
nesday for Cedar Keys, it is thought he
can be apprehended.

Louis Lingg, the young man who, it is
supposed, manufactured the dynamite
bomb used in the Haymarket riot, is still
umjer the closest custody. Captain
Shenck, who arrested him, said to-day
that Lingg confessed to him that he was a
born anarchist and that he came to this
country from Zurich, Switzerland, with
tho intention of spreading anarchistic
doctrines. He came here last August uiui
immediately associated himself with the
leaders of the anarchists’ party. Lingg is
a well-educated young man, said
Capt. Schenck He is only 22 years of ago,
but he is learned beyond his age. “1 have
a large number of letters written to him
by people in Europe. They are evidently
the work of men of ability. From then*
tenor I am satisfied that Lingg was one of
the most trusted agents of the anarchists
in this country. Chiu peculiar
feature about Lingg' is bis intense devotion
to the cause of anarchism, lfe has told hk
that lie was ready to die for the cause. In
fact, he. says be would lie only too glad to
be sacrificed for the sake of the principles
lie advocates.

Richmond. May 18. The superior court
j lias just decided two of the local option
I casus sentaip on appeal from the circuit
court of this county, hut the local option
quotation, involving the repeal by* adopting
! the new charter, also the legality of the
election held last summer, remains un
touched. The cases decided relatod to the
I sale of beer m an original package of
j twelve quart bottles. It was held by the
i defehse that such a sale was selling beer
j by wholesale, and even If it wore
I not that the offense was committed subst*-
| quentto the election last August, at which
* time the local option law had been re-
I pealed, if not already re pealed by the
adoption of the charter. It was held by
j thuimnerlor court that whether a given
transaction is wholesale or retail is a ques
tion of fact to be determined by the classi-
fications made by dealers themselves, and
where the uncontrodloted proof is that
such transactions as the sale in question
wore considered by the trade itself as
wholesale transactions, a peremptory in-
struction to find for the defendant is
proper.
In this case the proof was that the de
fendant, as agent for a brewery firm, sold a
box of lager beer, containing twelve quart
bottles in an unbroken package, just as it
was put up at the brewery, mid that such a
sale was, iti the usual course of trndo in
the beer business, considered a sale by
wholesale. As t he selling of beer by whole
sale does not come within the provisions
of the local option lnw the court did not
puss upon the other questions mentioned
above, and so we are as much at sea in that
regard as ever. But the beer men are jubi
lant and the whisky men are still on the
ragged edge, since beer can be sold in
original packages of twelve (mart bottles
whether local option be in force or not,
while the whisky men do not yet know
whether thoy will lie caught or not.
The Bogie case, involving the rejpeal of
the loeui option law, by implication, by
the passage of the new charter, is still on
submission before the court of appeals, and
will no doubt be decided shortly. If the
decision of the lower court lie affirmed;
that is, that the charter did not repeal, we
I will be rid of one disturbing element; but
the question will then arise on the validity
i of the August election last year, and there
| is now no case before the higher courts in
volving this matter, though there are sev-
. eral cases ill the circuit court which will
| require a decision upon that question.
, ; Tills is a very important matter just now,
E because of the licenses that have been
issued, as stated in a former dispatch. We
r ' are in “tor the war,” however, and no
' living mail can tell what tlie end of all
I this perplexity will he.

Washington, May IS. - Congressman
Iteagan, the champion of inler siate com
merce in the house, is not altogether
pleased with the bill which passed the sen
ate the other day establishing a commis
sion to supervise inter-state commerce
matters. lie is going to press his own hill
I in the house just tlie same. “1 think there
| are a good many good features in the sen
ate’s hill,” lie said, “hut a good many that
I are not in my way of thinking.”
“Doyou think the senate bill will poss
j the house 7”
I “No. 1 hope not. I think we have a bet-
, ter bill of our own. I am going to call up
1 our bill just as soon as possible, within a
I very few days, and make an clfort to pass
I it.”
“Do you think your bill would pass in
the senate?”
I “1 hope so. Indeed, the vote on the
| interstate commerce bill in the senate was
very encouraging to me. It showed a
I marked change in the sentiment of that
I body within the past year. The speeches
| that were delivered upon it were even
j more encouraging, for, while 1 do not
; think the bill a very good one, the speech
es were excellent. They show a very
marked and gratifying change in the seu-
I timent of the senate upon this subject
within the past year or two, and I am on
I tlie whole very hopeful for the interstate
i commerce sentiment, and for the final
passage of a bill which will prove very
valuable.”
THE LOTTERY WAR.
This congress seems to be inclined to
make » particularly defined record against
lotteries. Congressman Glass, of Tenn.,
tlie author of the bill prohibiting the pub
lication of lottery advertisements in the
District of Columbia, which passed the
house with only n half dozen dissenting
votes, tlie other day. says lie expects fo see
the measure pass the senate without any
difficulty. “Every state in tin* country,” he
said, talking to your correspondent about
it, “except I,ouisinnn, absolutely prohibits
lotteries, and even that spite; lias seen the
error of its ways and has enacted a law
prohibiting lotteries after 18B4.”
Another evidence of the vigorous line of
policy desired by the members of the house
Is foiind in the action of the committee on
postoffices nnd post roads, which refused
to receive an unfavorable report fruin its
sub-committee on the bill prohibiting tho
carrying in the mails of lottery advertise
ments, whether newspapers or otherwise.
The sub-committee reported adversely on
the bill, and the full committee immedi
ately discharged that sub-committee from
the consideration of the bill, and appointed
a new one especially made up for the pur
pose of reporting on the bill.
MAD MICHIGAN DEMOCRATS.
The Michigan democrats are mad again.
And it is getting to be about their normal
condition. The latest occasion for their
wrath, however, is in the appointment of
Mr. Severance, of Kalamazoo, to tlie dis
trict judgeship in the western district of
Michigan. Severance iH the law partner
of Congressman Burrows, of Michigan, and
hence the wrath. Burrows, as everybody
knows, is un ardent republican. When
Judge Wythoy died a couple of weeks ago
the Michigan delegation set to work to se
lect a man for Ins place, and agreed al
most unanimously upon Mr. Norris of
that state, as a worthy and able gentle
man. Mr. Burrows wanted to see his
partner, Mr. Severance, appointed, but
nobody supposed that lie, a republi-
lican, could have anything to say to tho
selection of u democratic judge by a demo
cratic president, especially when almost
an entire democratic delegation from t he
state was asking the appointment of some-
hody else. Burrows secured the indorse
ment of one democratic congressman for
li is partner, and quietly set to work him
self to pull Sevemnee through. .lust how
it was accomplished dejioni nt s.iitii nut;
but at least Mr. Severanc" gof (.her. . to the
intense disgust of the democratic states
men who line! boomed Mr. Norris. Bur
rows isiiiit: nftlie ki ('iiist political wnrki r.s
in-the house, and ids success in olil aiei .g
the appointment of his partner shows
what ail experienced politician may at-
complish when he knows inov.

\ 'i " days before his death Mr. Dubois
sent for the Rev. Mr. Bell , and, after a long
(■(Oivcrsntinn with him, lie was baptized
and u eeived Into the Presbyterian church.
He. immediately Hent for the heads of all
the depart un nts in his works, and as many
'of thi men as could crowd Into the sick
mom, to the number of about fifty. When
lin y were gathered lie gave them such ail
* exhortation ns had never been heard be-
I lore in all his religion. He told them lie
I was dying, mid that if he had been well
assured of his eternal Welfare a week be
fore, he would not have been living to talk
to them. He could not let go life, he said,
until lie got that question settled, and
lit* urged them not to put it off aa ho
had (lone. He was willing now to die.
but if it was tiie will of Providence that
lie should live one year longer, he would
I not wish to take up hi:-: affairs again.
1 He would put in every day, he said, going
about the mills telling his men the great
truth he hail at length found out, and try
ing to undo some of the evil his example
had wrought in his long lifetime.
| llis voice and brain were strong, al-
1 though his body was wasted almost to a
] skeleton, and lie could scarcely sit up in
I bed propped with pillows. The men had
j worked for him—some ten, some twenty,
some thirty years. They were rough, griz
zly follows from the logging camps and the
I mills, but there was not a dry check in tho
room as he talked to them and called them
I by name and hade them good-by. Three
I days later he died. He was buried on bis
j own farmn short distance back of the houso
| where l’e lived. lie picked out the spot him-
I self. It is oil the top of a gently sloping
I hill, and overlooks lus mills and the town
that he built. For Life three days between
1 Ids death and his funeral all hands in tho
town were as idlu us his own. Not a wheel
turned in any of the mills. Nobody did any
, business i.i the stores. Three thousand
people looked at him in his coffin and
walked behind it to tho grave.
Although his works were divided up into
different departments, each under its re
sponsible head, he knew all of the 8(X) nieil
who worked for him, and always spoke to
I them as courteously as if they were all
I millionaires as well as himself. Some
' years ago, when times were dull, and lutn-
| Viol* fell to a low figure, the managers
1 of his works agreed that there must
be a reduction in the wages of the men,
I and so told him. He heard them through
and took the figures they hud brought him,
. but made no decision. Tlie next day he
summoned them to meet him, and sain:
“This will not do. I have examined the
books at the store, and find that it takes
about all these men earn to buy necessaries
for themselves and their families. If we
must reduce wages I will begin with you,
who are better paid. Say no more about
it; 1 guess I can stand a loss better than tho
men can a reduction.”

A Selim of tho Houso of Yiinilcrkllt KIoiioh With a
Kiiiuht of tho KchiK.
New York, May 18.—Another coach
man lias secured for his bride the pretty
daughter of wealthy parents. This event
was all that was talked about In Tarrytown
yesterday afternoon when it got noised
about, although it was the intention of all
parties concerned to keep it a secret, and
not. let it get into the newspapers. The
lucky groom in this case is George Minton,
tlie good-looking and gentlemanly appear
ing coachman of Rev. J. B. Morse, and the
bride, Miss Grace Morse, the twenty-two
year old daughter of the reverend gentle
man named.
Sin; iH tall, graceful, something of a
blonde, and with a pretty face. She is
taller than her husband. Her mother is an
old resident of Tarrytown, a niece of the
lute G’ommoriore Cornelius Vanderbilt, and
n cousin of the late William H. Vanderbilt.
Sin* inherit'd a fixed income from the old
(’(iiiunndore’s estate, and she and her hus
band wlin is engagedjlin mission work on
Blackwell’s Island, nave always lived in
luxury. Their residence is a handsome
brick mansion on Broadway, in the most
aristocratic neighborhood. About the
house are numerous flower beds now in
