Wa■ i!iXt.iTON'. May 2S.—On motion of Morrison, of Illinois!.' jt was ordered that whin tSit house adjourned to-mornnv it be to meet Tuesday next. Tin- senate resolutions relative to the death ol' John i'. Miller, late senator from California, were laid before the house. 'Morrow, of California, gave notice that ht* would cali them up for action Saturday, lKh ol June. Private business haying been dispensed with, the house went into a committee of the whole. Springer in the chair, outlie oleomargarine bill, the pending amend ment being that offered by Dauiei. of Vir ginia, reducing the special tax on retail dealers from i'iS to ?2o. in the comse >f, either protracted and stubborn debate Daniel's amendment was reported along with numerous others, while still .others were unceremoniously ruled out on points of order. An amendment was adopted allowing the retail dealers in oleomargarine to pack the compound in paper packages. Everhart, of Pennsylvania, rose to speak against the bill, and the members remem bering the sensation caused by his speech in opposition to the river and harbor hill, clustered around him and frequently interrupted him with laughter end applause. He as serted the constitutionality of the measure and then inveighed against the manufac ture of oleomargarine, which threatened with destruction the time honored business of butter making. This oleo margarine was composed ol' I he slops of the butcher shops, the kitchen and t lie alley, naturalised, compounded and prepared so as to resemble the tasie, form ana color of butter. It looked as if its origin was associated with springs and cows and pasture and all the charm of the country. It was nr. imposition, made solely to be given to the poor man to roll under his tongue like a sweet morsel of sin. Though it be as pure as an icicle on Diuna’s temple or as wholesome as the bread of angels, it was still a counterfeit pretended- ly to he genuine. Successive amendments reducing the tax to 5 cents and 1 cent per pound, were re jected. ’ Townshcud moved to make the tax 2 cents. Buttenvorth supported Townshemi’s amendment. It had been said by i lie ad vocates of the bill that all they desired was such a law as would place the manufacture of oleomargarine separate and spun from that of butter, to compel the man who manufactured it to stamp it for wliat ii is. A tax of 2 cents would bring about that re sult. He warned the gentlemen on liis side of the house that if the time had conic in this country when congress was willing to wipe out an industry which could survive, which could grow, which cimltl ttnurish. simply because it was a competitor of another domestic industry, the spectre of -free trade would stalk through every town and village of the country within five .years, and it ought to. (Applause on the' Democratic side]. If this industry of oleomargarine was what the gentlemen said :t w as,the requirement tuat it should appear before the coun try for what it was, was enough to destroy it. If it could not stand on its own merit it ougnt to die. li it could stand and grow ami flourish, there wat no right in this congress to strike it down. If the people desired to buy it on its merits and citszens of the I'ni'teu States desired to manufacture it, lie denied tlie right of congress to wipe it out lie- cause some other industry found in it the held of n competitor. [Applause,'] Pending action on the amendment the committee rose. T1 c speaker laid before the house Severn! veto in usages on private pension bills, a id they were referred to the committee on in- i akd pensions. The house then at 5 o'clock took n recess until 8 o'clock, the evening ses don to be for tile consideration of pension hills. The nouse at its e -c i- g session | ee wd twenty-five private pension bile and at 11:45 p. m. adjourned. ‘.I ■> Pi e. A resolution to iucpiin into the uppoint- n.u t of Indian train was u 'bated some time and rt l’erred to the. Indian committee. Tin ivirt 'tern i’aebie land forfeiture bill was then discussed until 2 o’clock, at which hour Van Wyell's bill for the t.ixnti et of railroad lands wp.-' placed before Die sen ate, and under a plen of discussing this hill debate on the Northern Pacific for feiture was continued by lie.union.-,. Van \Vyek. Dolpii, Mitchell Oregon , Plum, Vest and others. Reference by Van V yck to the proceeding's o! the house of rej.ro- rent,atives brought an inquiry from Duller as to whether suoi. reference was in order. The presiding oltieer : Hawley > replied that so little that w.,. before the senate had been referred to in the debate that the cliaii had not thought it worth while to e in attention to any particular point as being out of order. The bill before t he senate, he said. I ad not been referred to i for an hour. [Daughter.] No result was reached, and at 3:45 the j senate went into executive session. At ; 4:42 the doors were reopened and the sen-j ate adjourned until Tuesday next. The I'.r/ffraijoint 1 Hill.

Washington, May 28.—The president s _vnt to the senate to-day live additional vetoes of private pension hills. The rea son stated in each veto is that the disabil- ■ty described arose from causes wholly apart from the military service, in some eases long before the war, and others long afterwards.

The recorder ixpiYu : that Most had that privilege, blit that | there must lie a limit to this tiling. The lawyer said that Most would occupy about an hour. ; Most then arose and said. “1 cannot l speak very well in English. You have [ heard a great deal about me. 1 suppose ! that you expected a great deal of the wit- ; nesses lor the prosecution and a lot of | black devil lies about me, but what has come of it? 1 have seen the prosecuting ' officers in Austria and Germany against j me and my associates, but they were the 1 slaves of kings and princes. I did not ex- , peel that here there was a scheme I gotten up and the police and ! press was against me. 1 knew J all about the policemen who met in a beer | saloon next to Capt. McCollogh’s station j house and said, ‘we’ll get you, Most.’ At j hist they arrested me under a bed. I stood i up in my room, a room i bad lived in for two months before. They showed you books and other things they took from’my ; room, but they did not produce the pocket j book with £180 that they took from me. i j suppose they want that.’’ 1 lie then spoke of the meeting at which | he made an address. “What did I say?” I Ik shouted. “I said that the constitution j of the United States permitted its citizens ! to carry arms. I told about St. Louis where men who were paid £5 a day by Jay ; Gould shot down whoever Gould * said ; should be shot. A dozen men and women have been killed by them. I said the Wil liamsburg strikers were quiet, but the po- liee clubbed them and tired at them. About the 8 hour movement and meeting on the 1 first of May, 1 did not say that the men I should £et guns. 1 said that if [ 1 hey earned guns instead of torchlights i they would be more respected. I didn’t | tell them they must shoot. 1 said the con st tuition let them carry arms. It didn’t make any difference what kind of arms. I Certainly they could carry cannon, and of j course bombs, bui I didn’t advise the i women to throw fire-brands in houses, or tell anybody to throw vitriol out of the windows on the policemen.” j “ Beecher—you all know him”—the an- ! arc hist went on. “ He advised the people from his pulpit .Sunday afterSunday to buy rides and guns ro protect themselves. That is all the advice I gave. That meeting was orderly and not an unlawful assembly. You know what tney are doing. They are not only putting me in prison, but they arc* , doing away with free speech. It is the ' first step to bring the republic down to a ! monarchy. Tin* next will be the stopping of the freedom of the press. Then we will ! omv want an emperor.” This, ended Most’s address. THE VIRGINIA ELECTIONS.

COMMENTS cy THE I*'JESS. The Times says; Gladstone would find it as difficult- to enumerate the affairs spe. j ciaily Irish as he confessed ii would be in liis original statement with respect to im- j ; perial affairs. He bad nothing to say yes- 1 terday about the Ulster or the objections j to the financial scheme of the bill. The Pall Mall Gazette says: “Gladstone j vesterday secured the second reading of . ; Ids home rule bill,” and adds, “and the , i black shadow of imminent dissolution is ! lifted.” j The St. James Gazette (conservative! ad- 1 mils that it believes now that-there is a likelihood that Gladstone will succeed in ; attaining his immediate object, but de clares li is grand scheme of legislation for! | Ireland is destroyed. , .The Globe (conservative) says Gladstone's ' surrender is a great bid for a eontinuenee i ; in office. Most of tiie ministers would \ j have preferred to retire rather than sub- ! mit to be degraded to such an expedient, j The Echo (conservative) pronounces the premier’s course more ingenius than dig- I nified or courageous.

Tin* Tnulcs Cnioiis. j Cleveland, ()., May 28. The chief sub- I ject discussed by the knights of labor and j members of trades unions in the hotel lob- I hies and on the streets during the past few 1 days has been the treaty that was prepared | at the Philadelphia conference of the trades union officers last week for presen- ! tat ion to the general assembly of knights [ of labor. The address and terms oft he i treatv have never before been made public. At the convention to-day the executive board of knights of labor presented its re port, embodying the address of* tlu* trades I unions and the terms on which they wish | to settle the existing troubles. The ad dress is as follows: “Tim officers of the national and internal 1 trades unions desire to make the state- j menttliat they have no antagonism toward the knights of labor, and believe that as an | order it has a legitimate mission in the labor movement of America. Through the development of industry and the ag gregation of capital, the tendency is to monopolize the business of the country, hence the various trades have been affected by the introduction of machinery, the sub- j division of* labor, the use or the wo man's and child’s labor and the lack j of an apprentice system, so that ! skilled traces w ere rapidly sinking lo a level of pauper labor. To protect the skilled labor of America from being re duced to beggary, and io sustain the stan dard of American workmanship and skill, the trades union of* America have been , established. They are a social necessity, and their past history proves not only that they have bettered flic* wages of the work man and reduced tin* burdens of toil, but they have fulfilled Ihe fraternal duty of visiting their members when unemployed, when sick, and when disabled by accident and old age, and provided for flu* widows and orphans of’their deceased brethren. Con sequently, trades unions have become n fixtd and permanent institution in America , not antagonistic t.o the web fare of the country, hut calculated to elevate all branches of labor to a higher degree of citizenship and a larger share of social comfort. For this principle, thoughtful and far-set ing men of various crafts have founded unions of their respective trades, and to mainiain these trades unions tin* members have sacrificed countless time and money, and where at di. t lrs v.as thrown I s F< rrv, whose f< i" iiuasion of To fir- failure, time has n< usefulness, but lias tlmy arc* dost in.*d io si* n .oid t heir prog portion to (he inii* of tneir members, foumied on -ucli *gr ii.• Yea; s of t h ii di "I • beany *:i.l knights of fears have in of labo’' w<uil(i but that the v. ould 11 *t c\ to; n ofti (I their only pr< (l(*nions! fulfill a h *ks is in . ctiial dr ml v.

That there will have to lie some sort j of summer reception, for the purpose of J presenting the new mistress of the white house, will occur to everybody here as the correct and desirable and perhaps inevi table tiling. If there is such an event now it will be noted as one of the mont impor tant of the social events of this adminis tration, and will attract a distinguished throng of diplomatic, official and private persons, notwithstanding the lateness of the season. fi’he arrangements for the wedding, so far as tlu* president’s movements are con cerned, have been left in the hands of ( ’ol. Lauiout. No more discreet and confiden tial agent was ever intrusted with the man agement of such a matter. Washington people, in and out of ofiiee, are delighted at tlu; prospect of soon hav ing a “Lady of the White House ; ’’ who [ will be entitled to all the honors of the po sition as the wife of the president. The curiosity about the wedding is altogether | the expression of friendly concern, not vul- I gar impertinence or a desire to meddle in anybody’s private affairs. Some regret iscx- | pressed that the president will be obliged to bring his bride to a house that is more. | public than most others, a house that is I overrun, even in the sq-ealled private part, by from ten to 100 privileged visitors every ! day. The crowds are not usually so threat* in the summer as they are in the winter season, but the fact that the wile of the president is soon to be there will undoubt edly attract an unusually large number of visitors, and inspire many of them with the hope that by getting into the “home 1 side” of the mansion they may be able to get a glimpse of the bride in her new home.

Out of twent^v-five different persons elected as vice-presidents five died during their terms of office, one of them re signed his office, and four became presi dent.

New York, May 28.—The Herald this morning says: Seveial Irishmen who have taken *m active part in Irish revolutionary matters, both m Ireland and America, were asked yesterdav to give a synopsis ol w hat was done at the conference in Bos ton. First they answered that the confer ence was a matter of no public importance, but on being assured that their names would not be made public they became more communicative. “Tin: possible action of the American government on the fisheries question.” said one of the gentlemen, “has been dis cussed by the delegates. For the past ten years tiie pnysiciu-force party has been directing its energies to forming a pecu liarly military organization, which, in the event of England getting into a difficulty abroad, would be used to harass her at a moment’s notice. “Should the government get in trouble with England we can furnish at a moment’s notice 3000 Irishmen to move on Canada. New York is our greatest recruiting center, next conies Chicago, then Boston, Roches ter, Philadelphia, Detroit, Cincinnati and Pittsburg, not to mention other places. All these places were represented at the Boston conference. At that conference the opinion was that tin; American government, if left to itself, would Lack down on the fishery question, but the sentiment of the Ameri cans was so strong that the government would have to push the matter strenuously. : The delegates said they had felt the I pulse of the people in their respective cities, 1 and the feeling was strong against allowing the English to bulldoze the American gov ernment. The meeting was informed that several Irish merchants in our ranks had agreed to furnish enough money to lit out a vessel. The Ireland’s Hope, which was fitted out about twenty years ago and sent to Ireland with officers and anus, was men tioned, and the Boston delegate said we | could do much better now and send a more formidable vessel to tight in Canadian ! waters. • “A proposition was made to fit out a | fishing vessel and dare the English-Cana- dians to interfere. It was thought that a 1 crisis could lx; precipitated in this way. I The proposition was not adopted, and i there was a disposition to lay it over, for there is to be another meeting shortly, but j not in Boston. Several members said it j would be a good idea to make the imperial ! government show its hand. If England did not think Canada worth fighting about the Canadians would be left to themselves, and then would follow annexation to tho states, for there is a strong annexation feel ing in Canada.” A DIABOLICAL OUTRAGE* ‘ t Mini iiimI IIis Wife Uniatml From Home unit UrutaiH l(«*nt<*ii.
