Washington, June 4.—Cox, of North Carolina, called up as a question of privi lege the report of the committee on civil service reform relative to the appropriation for the improvement of the levees of Jeffer sonville, Ind. The report is accompanied bv a resolution dismissing L. P. warder, assistant doorkeeper, from the service of the house. Ward, of Indiana, offered a substitute resolution declaring that the evidence in this case does not sustain the charges, that it is improper for an officer or employe of the house to seek to Influence legislation, either directly or indirectly, and that the action of Warder, as agent of the clt.v of Jeffersonville, at the time when it is said Warder was an employe of the house in securing the services of an at tor ney for the purpose of influencing legisla tion, is disapproved by the house. After a long and sharp debate, Ward withdrew his resolution, and Oates, of Ala bama offered in lieu thereof, a resolution declaring that the conduct itf Luther P. Warder, being at the time an employe of the house, in receiving money from the city of Jeffersonville, Indi ana. to employ council to influence tin- legislation of congress, was a gross impro priety, and expressing the emphatic con demnation of the house thereof, Dut stating that the evidence adduced, in the opinion of the house, does not require his expul sion from the office he holds. This resolu tion was agreed to—yeas 140, nays 67. Boutelle, of Maine, introduced a bill re lating to the duties on fish. Referred. The bill repeals and strikes from the free list the paragraphs providing for the free importation of fish fresh for immediate consumption, fish sounds or fish bladders, fish tongues, cod sounds, hake sounds, fish skins and shrimp, or other shell fish, under the schedule of provisions, it increased the duty on mackerel from one to two oents per pound; on herring, pickled or salted, from one-half to one cent per pound; on salmon pickled, and other fish pickled in barrels and salted cod sounds, from one to two cents per pound; on foreign caught fish, imported otherwise than in barrels or half barrels, whether fresh, smoked, dried, snlted or pickled, r.ot specially enumerated or provided for, from five cents to ten cents per hundred pounds; on anchovies and sardines in boxes, in creased from ten, five and two and a half cents per box to fifteen, seven and a half and four cents pci- box; when imported in any other form than in tin boxes increased from 40 to 50 percent, ad valorem. The paragraph pro viding for adulteration, tin cans containing free fish, is stricken out. The duty on fish preserved in oil, other than anchovis and sardines, is increased from 30 to 40 uer cent, ad valorem, and on salmon and ail other fish prepared or preserved from 25 to 30 per cent, ad valorem. The act is to take effet thirty days after approval. Houtelle says in reference to the hill that the so-called (retaliatory provision recently added by congress to the shipping liili, however proper and justifiable, will not lie regarded with much concern by the Canadians, as they do not care much fur the privilege of purchasing bait or sup plies in our ports. He proposes, therefore, to deal with the fishery question practical ly by terminating the free importation of fish and increasing the import duties on nil fish, thus compelling the Canadians to pay more for the privilege of selling their fish ill the United States. The house then, at 4:40, took a recess until 8 o’clock, the evening session to lie for the consideration of pension hills. The house at its evening session passed seventeen pension bibs, and at 11:30 o’clock adjourned until to-morrow. During the course of the evening Wheeler, of Ala bama, made a bitter attack upon Star.ton for his action when secretary of war. which excited some comment and which will probably be replied to some time in the future. SENATE. Tn the senate Ingalls offered a resolution, which on objection by Beck went, over till to-morrow, calling on the secretary ol the interior to inform the senate wlietliei a certain circular has been issued by the commissioner of the general laud office with the approval of the secretary of tin- interior. The resolution recites iii full the recent circular to registers and receivers of land offices, slating that no new applica tions for entry under the preemption, tim ber culture, or desert land acts would be received Wending legislation by-congress, an a repeal ol'those acts. The resolution then proceeds to direct the secretary of t lie interior to Inform the senate by what act it was claimed congiess had delegated to the commissioner of the general land - .ItK p or to the secretary of the interior, or to those officers jointly, the power to suspend by executive order the operation through out the United States of the pre-emption timber culture and desert land nets, and to deny to citizens of tlie United States their rights under said acts. On motion of Ednnids, the Chinese in demnity bill was taken up, but was in formally laid asideat the request of Allison to permit tin: consideration of the consular and diplomatic appropriation bill. At 2 o’clock the consular and diplomatic appropriation bill went over and the Chi nese indemnity bill was taken up. Cock rell took the- floor in opposition to the bill. At the conclusion of Cockrell’s speech the bill passed—yeas 36, nays 10. The senators voting in the negative were Beck, Berry, Cockrell, Coke, Enstis, George, Harris, Maxey. Mitchell, of Oregon, and Vest. The bill authorizes the president to as certain the losses sustained by the China men by the riot at Rock Springs, Wyo ming, in September, 1885, and to pay such losses. The amount appropriated by the bill for that purpose is *150,000. The senate then resumed consideration of the consular and diplomatic appropria tion bills. On reaching the appropriation of *2,270 as the American contribution to the maintenance of the international bureau of weights and measures, Congflr attacked the item with ridicule and with an appeal to the national feelings of the senators. After an explanation of them by Allison and Evarts, Conger moved to strike it out. This motion was lost—yeas 1. Conger, nays 42. [Great laughter.] The senate at 5:30, without finishing the bill, adjourned until to-inorrow. Secretary Aluuiilng's Resignation Nut Aeeeptett. Washington, June 4.—Secretary Man ning on May 20th handed President Cleve land his resignation as secretary of the treasury, stating that his health would not permit the early resumption of the active duties of the office. On June 1st the presi dent replied, declining to accept Man ning’s resignation at present and asking him instead to take a leave of absence till October 1st, when the subject may lie re newed if Manning remains in the same mind as now. Manning will leave Wash ington to-morrow evening for an extended stay at the Hot Springs of Virginia. Tin- Preslileiit's Nliirt-iittr«- Ainioiim-etl. Washington. June 4.—About a thou sand cards announcing the marriage of the president were sent out from the white house to-day by mail messengers and otherwise. The cards arc exceedingly . simple and pluim engraved in heavy lines on a full sheet of fine note paper. They read as follows: | "Mr. Grover Cleveland and Miss Francis Folsom were married on Wednesday, June 1 2d, 1S86, Washington. These announcements were sent to mem bers of the cabinet, justices of the supreme court, senators and representatives in con gress, diplomalie corps, lieutenant-general of the army, admiral or the navy and other I officials in Washington, and tii personal friends of the president and Mrs. Cleveland in Albany and Buffalo.

They will visit | fisheries under instructions from the de- ; partment, and it is hoped will help to allay | rather than arouse the existing antagon ism. The secretary conferred with Ad miral Jouett upon't he subject when in New York recently. Clin Porrhase Fish. Washington, June4.—Secretary Bayard this afternoon received a telegram from Consul General Phelan, of Halifax, as fol lows: "American merchant vessels can purchase fresh fish of all kinds.’’ The Order Keenked.

Adolph Sehenek will work in the shoe shop, while Richard BrauneiiAveig, the other anarchist, will work a Jack, plane in the carpenter’s shop. The three anarch ists were sent to the penitentiary Wednes day by Recorder Smyth, Part'll, of Ihe court of general sessions. Their counsel exhausted their ingenuity ii: moving for a new trial upon four different grounds. It was claimed that the conviction was against the evidence; that It was against the weight of evidence; that the intro duction of Most’s books and papers as evidence was in error,,and that errors were committed in the charge to tlie jury. Recorder Hmyth promptly denied the motion, and called up the prisoners for sentence. "Most, Sehenek and Braun schweig,'' said lie, "alter a fair and impar tial trial, before an intelligent jury, you vveie properly convicted of the first count in the indictment. 1 shall respect, as 1 uniformly do, the recommendation to mercy made by the jury. In view of that recommendation i shall not impose .so severe a penalty us i would otherwise feel it my duty to do. The evidence in the ease discloses a state of facts which calls upon courts and juries to do everything wttnin the law to punish tlie offense ol'which you have been guilty. You, Most, have al ready served terms in prison in other lands from which you were driven on ac count of the doctrines that you preached and your efforts to stir up 'others to the commission of grave crimes. 1 regret most sincerely that the law does not permit me to impose upon you what I should deem adequate punishment. You have advo cated poison, murder and arson. You have made addresses to ignorant foreigners urging them to resort to these awful crimes against individual citizens and against society. You have gone so far as to instruct domestic servants how to man ufacture and administer poison to their employers." In n handkerchief, which she pinned liv id, her dress pocket.

Chicago, June 4.—There was a report this morning at Cummings that the Rock Island railroad would move four cars load ed with nails made by the low men at the Cummings nail works. As several of the strikers had been enjoined from inter fering in any W’ay with the working of the mills, the removal of these cars was prevented in a peculiar way. Ten o’clock was the hour when the engines were ex pected up from South Chicago, and before that hour women and children to the num ber of 200, the wives and families of the former employes, assembled with sticks in their hands around the terminus of the road track and opposite to the en trance of the nail works. Females were sent down tlie track towards South Chi cago to apprize the party of the engines’ approach. While these were keeping guard a contingent was dispatched to the residence of Tom Belhel, a non-union man, who was moving to Colekour for safety. Mrs. Belliel was alone superintending the parking of household goods when she was startled by llie beating of tin pans and wild bootings and calls. Several win dows were smashed by bowlders, and she was berated roundly by the women and j children until the police dispersed the pur- ] ty. They returned to the depot and at the , I same time one of the pickets came run- | ning breathlessly along the track, waving ( j her shawl and shouting, "To llie cars!” j This was signalling the approach of the engine. Then there was a rush to where j j the loaded cars wore standing. Mothers ! I with infants in their arms and dragging, | the youngsters by band, hurried along. All ( | ages were represented. Mothers grouped ■ I their little ones along the tnti k i some distance ahead of the first I freight cal- and placed them according to I age or. the rails, the youngest toward the j approaching engines, tlie mothers and i grown up daughters taking a position in ' ' the rear. The engineer steamed up slowly, ! but seeing the living obstacle on the track. ] reversed and returned to Chicago. Then , ; the Amazons dispi rsed and on tlicii return i | jeered and abused the representatives of tlie company at the gate, calling them,the ' most appmiirious names, the police, by [ I their presence, only preventing the inflic- j : tion of violence by tin infuriated women, i | At 2, when the engines appeared again, | fully 2000 women and children were | thronging the tracks and apparently as de- I termir.ed as before to hold them. Captain Hunt, with sixty policemen from Hyde park, had reported in the meantime I and attempted to clear the track, j but could do so only with , | great difficulty. Tlie women feeling sure they would not be clubbed, refused to I move, or moved A ery slowly when told to i do so, ami closed up again on the tracks unless absolutely held buck by the officers, j I The engines were unable to get by them j , without killing them. The greatest ex- j citement prevailed and all attempts made j j to move the cars proved futile. Ken,-ii I mi the Strike. New York, June 4.—For several days ' there was nothing of.incident to note in the strike of the Third avenue railroad employes. Cars were running with a full ; complement of drivers and conductors, and I the strike was looked upon as practically 1 ended. To-day, however, two of the new drivers on the cars running from Ilarlem I to Sixty-fifth street jumped from their cars at Ninety-fourth street and ran away. About the same time one driver and three i conductors abandoned their cars at Grand j street. A temporary blockade of the line was caused. It is rumored that others of the men who have taken the places of tlie I I strikers will also abandon their cars at va- | rious points along the line. Irelnnil. LABORERS ASSAl'LTED BY ORANGEMEN. Belfast, May 4.—The Orange workmen employed at, the Queensland shipyard here I to-dRy attacked the laborers employed by | the harbor commissioners, and after over powering them und beating them badly, drove them into the water. It was w ith the greatest difficulty that they were res- I cued. Six were so seriously hurt that they | had to be removed to hospitals. One is still missing, and it is believed that he w as : drowned. The Orangemen made the i assault because the laborers, it was alleged, , flail previously attacked some loyalist for opposing the home rule bill movement. null The recorder paused a moment, and, iooking intently at Most, continued: "A more wicked and atrocious scoundrel than you are does not disgrace the face of this earth ! It is well that men of your charac ter, views and opinions should be taught that although the laws of this land are merciful, they will be upheld at any cost, and that those who violate or attempt to violate them will be punished with severi ty. In my judgment it is useless to waste further words upon a man of your charac ter. The sentence of the court is that you be ini prisoned at hard labor for one year and pay a fine of £500. the extreme penalty of the law, and stand committed one day for each dollar until the fine is paid. “There is some distinction, Braunscb- iveig,” continued the recorder, “between your case and that of Most. Although during the trial you went on the witness stand and denied thut you approved of the doctrines preached by Most at the unlaw ful assembly in Germaniu hall I have evi dence before me that satisfies me that you not only approved of those utterances, but at a subsequent meeting promulgated the identical doctrine that, had previously fallen from the lips of Most. Still, you are not a man of the education and expe rience of Most, and have not the capac ity for evil that he has. Therefore 1 shall exercise some discrimination.” Braunschweig was sent to the penitentiary for nine months and ordered to pay a fine of |250. "As to you, Sehenek,” said the recorder, in conclusion, “there was some evidence at the trial that you are a man of previous good character. Yet upon the witness stand you admitted tint you were an tut- archist and believed in the doctrine preached, if not practiced, by anarchists. Still at the meeting you took no further part than to preside and to introduce Most as the speaker of the evening.” Sehenek was given nine months’ imprisonment, without fine. The prisoners were sent to the Tombs,and in the afternoon were hustled into a van and conveyed to the penitentiary. Most said on the way over that if the keepers on the island were all like “that crazy lunatic Smyth,” he would have a hard time of it. Most is not considered a handsome man, but when tie came out of the penitentiary barber’s hands with a smooth face and clad in the prison uniform he was posi tively repulsive. The anarchists were gi\-cn their first meal ill the prison at 2:30' o’clock. It consisted of bread and coffee, and il is all thcywillgutiinl.il breakfast this morning. Most was assigned to cell No. 16 on t lie first tier of tlie old prison; Sehenek to cell No. 8. fltHi tier, ,,n tlie opposite side of tin- old prison, and Braunschweig to cell No 11 in the n«‘W prison. Most will tie set at work this morning in the black smith's shop drilling holes in iron. Sehenek will work in the shoemaker’s shop, and Braunschweig a-, ill lie put at his old trade, that of carpenter. The cells and shops of tlie anarchists are far apart, and they ivill have little opportunity for communication. Deputy Warden Osborne thought that they would make good pris oners and give no trouble. If they behave AVt-11 tivo months ivill lie taken off their time, but l;.e lit.cs ivill bai-e to be paid or tlie equivalent in time served out. The os' i.f the staff of the Freiheit and tlie printers a .ere at, work as usual yester day at the office of the paper, at No. 167 William street. They said that the paper would continue to lie published just the same as though Most ivere at liberty. But they could not tell whether he would edit the paper from Blackwell’s Island or even contribute to it. If permission M ere given him to send articles to the Freiheit tie would certainly do so. the bills counterfeits. There’were thre female servants in the house,one of ivhom, the cook, ivas a sister of the finder of the money, and the other helped do tlie up stairs work. The latter, when her fellow servant gave her a |10() bill, threw it Into her dust pan and burned it up. The sis ters then went home in the evening and gave the remaining bills, one each, to their two brothers, and to a couple of young boys who live ivith the family. The mother of this interesting family, who can neither read nor write, when visited by the owner of the money said, “It was no money,” and upon being assured that such a statement was nonsense, re plied: “Indade, mum, there wasn’t a bit of grace among ’em. It ivas white money, ivery bit.” One brother, who works in a grocery store, had given a “counterfeit” to a fellow clerk, and the detective found it pasted in the window. The other brother, when found, was too much under the influence of liquor to make any intelligible answers, and the two “young boys’” have not yet beed found. THE PRESIDENT AND BRIDE. Him Till 4 ) Spent Vcsti-rilny at lli-er I’nri, A Koi ilon of Reporters muI llrli'i-tlvt-H. Pittsburg, June 4.—The Chronicle-Tel egraph’s Deer Park special says: The cot tage up in the grove back of the hotel, in which the president and his bride are spending their honeymoon is in a state of siege. An army of newspaper men are en trenched in the B. and O. depot, 200 yards from the cottage and in full view of it. Ail army of B. and (). detectives are seated on benches andtree stumps within 100 yards of the cottage, and thus far only one person has succeeded in getting to the cottage, that being ex-8enator Henry Davis. Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland remained in the cottage most of the morning. Mrs. Cleve land appeared on the porcli about 10 o’clock, and sat there reading the papers, for the best monel of General Leo was awarded to tlie artist and designer of one of these; but, as far ns public sentiment re garding them can be ascertained, none of these models will lie acceptable, though all of them, ns before stated in tho Herald, arc meritorious, and some of them highly so. SOON TO BE BUILT. In the meantime still another act nf the legislature had been passed authorizing the j two monument associations to consolidate | should they ever feel inclined to do so. i They did not- nor would not consolidate. | In this way the mutter has gone along ; through years in a slipshod, go-as-you- I please sort of way, and it was not until General Fitzhugh Lee had been elected governor that the matter was taken in j hand in a serious, businesslike manner. I | can now inform the reader that the oree- j tion of the monument to General Lee has [ become a fixed fact, to be accomplished in \ the very near future: that, ample funds j will be forthcoming from time to time as | they are needed to defray all expenses; | that the monument will be grand in con- | ception, characteristic in design and highly artistic in execution and finisli, and thataii artist w hose fame is worldwide by reason of his grand achievement in Virginia ul- ready will probably tie selected to design and execute the model for tlie monument. THE ASSOCIATION IN HARMONY. But to return to the governor, who, while speaking quite freely, did not allow him self to bubble out into enthusiastic expres sions. He was deliberate in what he did say, and left unsaid much more, which he did not wish to say at present. “Governor, have you any objection to stating how you are getting nlong with the Lee monument for the benefit of the pub- | lie?” | “Oh, no,” said the governor, “1 am hap py to say we are making some progress to- | ward erecting a monument to Genera) Lee in this city. The different associations which had collected money for that pur pose have now been consolidated and the whole subject is in charge of the board of the ma(l'bcing^takeii' from tfie post office I ““W ';,^' a 1 '„ re l ir0Hnnt the oonsolida- for the first time this morning by the presi- , '“ 1 nR -‘™' la,ir ’ ns - dent. Mrs. Cleveland seemed amused and i interested at the candor of newsgathere j and detectives around her. The president caine out for a few minutes ut ter his bride retiredj and did not appear to notice what was going on about him. At 1 o’clock Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland walked over to Senator Davis’cottage for lunch. No one ventured to intrude on the pair as they walked slowly over half a mile of tanbark walks between the houses. Senator Davis and liis wife were the only companions of President nnd Mrs. Cleve land at lunch, and at 2 o’clock the senator’s bay team and double-seated buggy con veyed the party lip the broad road to Oak land. They turned nt the edge of town and name back. The only incident that has occurred to show any attempt at courtesy was tin-, sending of a handsome basket of trout to tlie president by Dr. McC'nnias, of Oakland, V. ho in turn was cordially thanked by the president. GONE TO HEAVEN. ted associations. “Who compose this board?” “The new hoard is composed of the gov ernor, Col. Marye, first auditor of the state, and Col. Harmon, tlie stale treasurer; also. Miss Sarah N. Randolph, late president of | the Ladies’ Lee Monument Association ; , Miss Nicholas, formerly of Richmond, now | of Washington, D. C., and Col. Archer ; Anderson, of Richmond, Va.” NOT RESTRICTED IN THE SELECTION. “lias the board selected a design for the monument yet ?” | “No. The board lias made no progress in that direction, except, to look at a num ber of models thut are oil exhibition in the senate cliumber here, and which were pro- i cured by the I.miies' Lee Monument Asso- j elation. 1 “Will any of these be acceptable, guver-, i nor ?” “That question I can’t answer At their next meeting it ivill probably be decided avImt particular design Mill lie chosen. The board, however, is not necessarily limited in its choice to the models now on - exhibition.” the assistance nf acknowledged artists, are going to decorate the city in a more elabo rate'and artislio manner than they did during the celebration of the Yorktown centennial.” “The corner stone, governor, I suppose, ivill bo laid with Masonic ceremonies?” ‘•Y’cs.” A DISTINGUISHED HONOR. “Who will probably deliver the address on the occasion ?” “The orator for the occasion lias already been selected by the. board of managers. The gentleman upon whom the choice has fallen Is Colonel Charles Marshall, who ivas formerly one of the aides-de-camp and the private secretary to General Robert E. Lee during the war. iIf. is now an emi nent lnivyer of Baltimore, and having been so closely associated ivith General Lee through those four years of the war, be sides being a fine speaker and writer, the selection ivas unanimously determined upon.” A LANDMARK OK HIS ADMINISTRATION. “Now, governor, whqii do you think the monument ivill bo completed?” "That question is difficult to answer. Monuments and great works of art of this description require time—often a great length of time. Much, to he sure, depends upon the rapidity of tho artist, the luiild- ers and others selected to do the work. M v object is to do whatever I can to lini'c such a monument unveiled during my ad ministration us governor, feeling of course a natural pride in having the erection or Huoli n monument ns one of the landmarks of my administration.” CONFEDERATE BONDS.

Euglnml. THE HOME RULE BILL. London, June 4.— Gladstone, replying to Thomas Henry Belton, liberal member for North St. Raul, in the house of commons tills evening said: “I hold it to be indis putable, indeed elementary, that the vot ing of the second reading of the home rule bill will affirm only the principle of the establishment of an Irish legislative body to transact business concerning purely Irish us distinct from imperial affairs. The government consider and hold thoinselves free to accept any proposal which may be submitted to them previous to the autumn session consistent with the former condition which they consider essential to a solution of the ques tion, including IriHli representatives at Westminster, to take part in the discussion nnd settlement of imperial business. The government are not only at liberty, but they are in duty bound, to consider any such amendments.” This statement, it was thought in tlie lobbies of the house of commons to-night, would cause a number of waverers to decide to vote for the bill and possibly secure its socond reading. On ’Change. Nf.w York, May 4.—There was a con siderable covering of shorts last night and this morning. There was very little news in the morning to affect values, and the market, after a Arm opening,was heavy for a short time. After 11 o’clock the market, under increased activity, moved up steadi ly until the last hour. There was then a decline of small fractions, but the market closed firm near the best figures ofthe day.
