Washington, July 16.-The house re
sumed consideration of the conference re
port on the legislative appropriation hill,
and it was agreed to, thus disposing of as
many of the amendments in dispute as
were agreed to by the conierence commit
tee.
Findlay, of Maryland, moved that the
house recede from its disagreement to the
senate amendment increasing from $4000
to *4500 the salary of the assistant treasurer
at Baltimore. Agreed to.
Townshend also moved that the house
recede from its disagreement to the senate
amendment increasing from $1900,000 to
$2,050,000 the appropriation made for sala-
ries of agents and other internal revenue
officers.
After a short debate the motion was lost.
Weaver, of Louisiana, moved that the
house recede from its disagreement to the
senate amendment appropriating $10,000
to enable the commissioner of labor to col
lect statistics relative to marriage and di
vorce. Lost.
Cannon, of Illinois, moved that the house
recede from its disagreement to the senate
amendment providing for an increase of
the clerical force of the civil service com-
mission. Agreed to—yeas 123, nays 111.
Further disagreement was ordered on
the senate amendment providing for sen
ators’ clerks, and a further conference
ordered.
Matson, of Indiana, called up the report
of the committee on invalid pensions oil
the message ot the presidentivetoing the bill
pensioning W. Carter Tiller, and upon his
statement that the case had been reopen
ed in the pension office the consideration
of the report was postponed until next
session.
Matson then called up the veto message
on the bill granting a pension to Elizabeth
Luce.
Forney, of Alabama, raised the question
of consideration, desiring that the house
should take up the fortification appropria
tion bill, but by a vote of 93 to 73 the
house determined to consider the pension
case. In this case a majority of tne com
mittee recommend that the bill pass, not
withstanding the veto of the president,
while the minority report that the bill
should not pass.
The speaker announced that the question
was upon the passage of the bill over the
veto, and it was decided in the negative—
yeas 116, nays 124, not a constitutional two-
thirds voting in the affirmative.
The following democrats voted to pass
the bill over trie veto: Carleton, Foran,

vigorously protested, contending that the

Senate.
Washington, July 16.—After disposing
of some business of little importance, Mc
Millan moved to take up the river and
harbor bill, but waived that motion tem
porarily in order to allow some pension
bills to be considered. Objection was made
to this, but the senate by a vote of 24 to 19
directed the pension bills to be proceeded
with.
Beck criticized the action of the chair
man. |of the committee of commerce for
not pressing the river and harbor bill, auu
intimated that the apparent desire of Mc
Millan to get on with that bill was not sin
cere.
McMillan explained that he had yester
day agreed to yield to the senator from
New Hampshire for pension bills which
would consume but little time.
The house bill increasing the pension of
John Ryan, and the senate bill granting a
pension to James E. Noyes were taken up
and passed, the latter bill being described
by Cockrell as a mere act of charity to a
colored preacher who had only served a
little while in the Louisiana native guards;
but Blair said the man had also served in a
colored regiment and in the veteran
brigade.
After passing thirteen private pension
bills the senate resumed consideration of
the river and harbor bill.
Ingalls called attention to the loose and
careless manner in which the new edition
of the bill printed this morning had been
got up. lie had been assured by the chair
man of the committee on commerce that
great care had been exercised in arranging
the bill in the latest form, yet upon a
most cursory and casual examination of
the bill he found a great variety of eccen
tricities, such as items In which the total
appropriation was less than the amount
directed in the same item to bo expended
on some special part of the work. He in
stanced some twenty or more of these cases
and submitted that it was hardly appropri
ate that the senate should be called upon
to adopt the amendments in gross without
further consideration. He said this with
out hostility to the bill.
The reading of the amended bill with
the original amounts reduced twenty-five
per cent, was then proceeded with and the
eccentricities pointed out this morning by
Ingalls were corrected as the Items were
reachbd.

lost in the din. Then the sneaker pro

The senate then at 6 p. m. adjourned.

Pension Measures.
Washington, July 18.—The Mexican
pension bill passed by tne house on it±e 6lb
of April, under a suspension of the rules,
by a vote of two to one and nearly twenty
yeas to spare, was so ill considered that its
amendment by the senate became a mat ter
of course. This matter has now been per
formed, and it is fairly to be presumed that
at least a part of the modifications of the
senate will be accepted.
As passed by the house, Mr. Wolford’s
bill granted life pensions at the rate of $8 a
month to “all tne surviving officers, sol
diers and sailors who enlisted and served in
the war with Mexico for any period during
the years 1846, 1846,1847 ana 1848, and were
honorably discharged, and their surviving
widows.” A proviso excepted from the
benefits of the act persons under political
disabilities.
No excuse could be made for passing a
bill thus worded, siuce the phrase, “for
any period,” contained in it would entitle
a man to a lifelong pension who had oii’y
served twenty-four hours, and even the
widow of such a man. The bill passed by
the house in the forty-eighth congress, for
a similar purpose, required a service of at
least sixty days, or else participation in a
battle, but under the one sent to the senate
this year a recruit need never have been
out of his native town or within a thou
sand miles of the Rio Grande to get a oen-
sion. The house bill further provided that
where a soldier could not show his dis
charge papers, secondary evidence should
be permitted, possession of a land warrant,
unless proved to have been procured by
fraud, being sufficient.
The senate has amended the bill so as to
apply only to thoRe who, “being duly en
listed, actually served sixtv days with the
army or navy of the United States in
Mexico, or on the coasts or frontier there
of, or en route thereto, in the war with
that nation, or who were actually en
gaged in a battle in said war, and were
honorably discharged." During the house
debate one member declared that “quite
forty per cent, of all the enlistments were
made at the last battle of the war,” and
that the majority of these final recruits
never marched toward Mexico at all. If
this statement be even approximately true
the present amendment is exceedingly im
portant to the treasury. Again, the senate
does not give pensions to all surviving
widows, like the house bill, but only to
those who “have not remarried.”
Some, at least, of these amendments the
house will doubtless have to accept, in or
der to save the bill from defeat. Exactly
how much the measure may take from .ic
treasury annually, if finally agreed upon
and ex icted. wili depend upon its ultimate
shr:;-. but it must, in any event, be sev
eral million:-. The estimate or the original
coV of the house bill by its leading advo
cate varied from four to eight millions for
the tiv-t year, v. .lb a diminution thereafter.
Soiim congressmen thought ir. might only
eo.-t two millions a year, but others ox .
the limit at ten. The aggregate cost. tit.-",
ar. l Ins', was estimated at irom sixty to - -
enl.v millions, or irom folly to fifty millions

Action on the communication received

After tlie transaction of some routine busi
ness the committee adjourned.
An hour later a meeting of the rate com
mittee was held, nt which the delegates
appointed by the Ohio river pool associa

Woodstock, 111., July #$.—James Dacey,
the murderer of Aldermaik Michael Gay-
nor, of Chicago, was hanged here at 12:36
to-duy. He made no speech, and was
moderately composed, though during the
morning he screamed almost continuously
and had his limbs tied to prevent his mak
ing an assault on any of his attendants.
Dacey made a desperate attempt
at suicide yesterday afternoon.
He had a pair of large shears in
the mattress of his bed and getting
them out, attempted to stab himself. He
was so violent that a hose had to be turned
on him before he could be overpowered.
After this Dacey broke one of the bed
slats and tried to brain Deputy Harper, of
Chicago. The prisoner was exceedingly
violent during the night. He drove a priest
from his cell with his club and spent his
time in giving vent to the vilest impreca
tion. An extra guard was placed over
him. but it was afterward found necessary
to bind him with leather straps.

and self-possessed to the last and acknowl

to be banged for the murder and announced
his willingness to go. He said he believed
he would at once enter heaven. The drop

colored, were hanged here to-day for mur

yesterday by Rev. Thomas Broun, of Mt.
Olive IJaptist church. They seemed
reconciled to their doom, and while as
cending the gallows walked steadily. They
listened calmly to the reading of the death
warrant. Rev. Mr. Butler then said the
Lord’s prayer and the prisoners followed
him with calm, firm voices. They asked
their friends to meet them in heaven. The
trap was sprung at 12:30 o’clock, and half

death had resulted from strangulation in

London. July 16.—An extradition treaty
between England and the United StateH
has been signed. In addition to the custo
mary clauses, the treaty provides for the
surrender of dynamite miscreants. At the
foreign office to-day, it was stated that
when the matter was ripe, a communica
tion would be made to the press in the
usual wav, and that the treaty would
doubtless be ratified at Washington after
the customary routine. . Further details
were peremptorily refused. At the lega
tion, Secretary White was greatly incensed
on being questioned in regard to the mate
ter, and refused to admit or contradict the
statement that a treaty had been signed on
the ground that the state department at
Washington was alone competent to speak
on the subject. He said he was surprised
at the Indiscretion of the foreign office,
and brusquely closed the interview.
It is geueralty thought in diplomatic cir
cles here that the socialists troubles in Chi
cago largely influenced the American gov
ernment in making the treaty.
the times’ comments.
The Times argues that there is a singu
lar lack of personal weight among the con
servative leaders, and that this necesitates
a conservative-liberal-unionist coalition.
The conservative party, adds the Times,
will be less strong than it was
hoped it would be. Whether
Lord Hatington joines the gov
ernment or not the government will be
compelled to take him in its councils and
ask his assent toils measures. It must, in
fact, adopt his proposals and accept hit
terms. Surely the only satisfactory method
is for the liberal unionists to become a part
and parcel of the government, for the
motion of such a coalition, however, would
in no sense mean a permanent obliteration
of party lines, or that Lord Hartington had
become a tory.
CLAIMS TO HAVE THE PROOF.
Arnold Forster in a public reply.to Par
nell’s letter of the 13th instant, denying
Lord Hartington’s assertions that the Par-
nellites and tories were in league, claims to
have in his posession a copy of a letter
written in Parnell’s behalf by nis secretary
to “Dear Mr. Ford,” giving in detail the
date and items of Ford’s payments to the
Parnellite treasury.

New York, July 16.—The stock market
opened this morning with a more decided
feeling in favor of higher prices, more
harmonious relations with Chicago and
Atlantic serving to help speculation in
Erie, while the extensive buying for Lon
don account was also a factor in the rise
in the morning. Sterling exchange rates
were reduced on account of a better sup
ply of bills drawn against se
curities lately purchased in this
market, but the latter fact was lost sight
of when the market became too heavy to
suit the leaders and prices were let down
toward midday, the market sinking into
the usual midsummer dullness until
Western Union was again taken
hold of and lifted up, the entire
market following. A weak spot of the
market was Lackawanna, which was at
tacked from several different quarters at
once and dropped quickly over one. A
noticeable feature of the decline in this
stock, however, was the small lots traded
in. The market finally closed dull, about
steady. The closing prices are generally a
shade lower, Erie, preferred, however,
being up l. sales 239,000 shares.

master of the Pennsylvania railroad, this
morning to rescue Annie Wyckoff, a high
ly respected young girl of Elizabeth, from
death at the south Elizabeth railroad sta
tion. The girl wason her way to Rahway.
While standing on the east-bound track
waiting for her train the through east-
bound passenger train was sighted. The
passengers at the. depot called to
Miss Wyckoff to get off this track,
but she evidently did not hear
them. On came the train. Cattlin jupmed
to her side and was dragging her out of
harm’s way when both wore struck by the
east bound passenger train. Miss Wyckoff
was hurled mam'feet from the scene of
ae< ideal and her body was horribly
mangled. Death must have been instan
