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 <"■ .’ending (or years against putting any u •' .1 ! gislatioii on appropriation bills.

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. fnlrrstuti* t'oiiiiiM-r,*o lllll.

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.

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.

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. Tl • !*! nil'. It.: BAbTlwOBR.

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. Tin* Printers m (null. Chicago, May 20.

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. FOREIGN FLASHES. ’or iu- a'.* .'-,, won, Ti r. 1 Fifth raci nie is. w* in, 1:15 .

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.

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.” CUPID ON THE BOX.
