Washington, May 1l.~The house con
sidered in committee of the whole find
I'sssed the hill providing: for the appoint-
jiit-nt of a committee to ascertain and settle
private land claims in the territories of
V v Mexico and Arizona and the state of
Colorado.
Tne committee on elections submitted
tlu- unanimous report of the committee on
tlie California contested election oases.
The report, which confirms the right of all
the sitting members, was agreed to.
The house then went into committee of
the whole on the army appropriation bill
Grosvenor. of Ohio, moved to strike out
the appropriation for the judije advocate
general’s department. He sail! that de
partment decided eases without any knowl
edge of the law, and that the system fol
lowed by the department was outrageous.
It was an excresenee on the army, adding
to it nothing of grace, nothing of justice,
m thing of martial efficiency. If it fell
to day in one year nobody would reniem-
Ivr except to point to it as a monument of
the greatest error that had ever existed in
the army. This motion and Grosvenor’s
remarks started a long political debate, at
the end of which the motion to strike out
was lost—S2 to 92.
Fending further action the hour of 5
o'clock arrived, the committee rose and
the house adjourned.
SKXATK.
The chair laid before the senate an in
vitation from the grand arely of the repuh ■
lie, department of the Potomac, to partic
ipate lathe memorial ceremonies at Arling
ton on decoration day. Monday, May 31st..
Laid on the table.
Hoar presented the memorial of the re-
j ubiiean central committee of Ohio, charg
ing that the election of Hon. Henry B.
Payne to the United States senate was se
cured by bribery, fraud ami corruption,
and requesting teat the senate investigate
the matter. Referred to the committee on
privileges and election!:.
A number of petitions were presented
and referred playing congress to enact
ltgisi ation against‘’oieoniargoiine.
After the routine morning business, the
inter-state commerce bill was taken up
and its consideration resumed.
Morgan formally offered Ms amendment
to punish by fln< and imprisonment, men
who conspired to stop or interfere with the
running of trains engaged in inter-state,
commerce. Morgan said mi- was a neces
sary precaution. While congress had in
hand the regulation of aommei ct. between
the states, it should see that travel between
the states should be kept free, ft was a
right of the whole * people to in
s'-t on a free interchange of
emimree. Whatever t ailed to interfere
with commerce, whether the raiiroucl com
pany, mob or conspiracy of indi ’duals,
a as something that co egress should rve .i-
lare. and ccngiess could not escape tliis
i...ly if it undertook *o do •*>• yt• in,, a; . u
in connection wi.li mterstat.. e 'U'n-i".';.

C'lla.in and Plait Yea red the amendment
W'.mld embarrass timi imperil the passage
ot the bill, and so opposed Morgan’s
arwndment.
Finally the amendment was laid on the
table—yeas 49. nays 3. The negative
votes were those of Dnlph, Edm units and
Morgan.
Brown offered an amendment providing
Ft the- punishmen t of persons injuring the
property of railroad companies—tracks,
bridges, cars, eto. The amendment would
uvike it a felony to maliciously injure such
property, and if death resulted from the
;| jury, then the offense should constitute
uiiirder. The amendment was laid on the
t ,'i.e.
Considerable debate then arose on an
amendment of Plumb’s, offered for him in
I is absence by Ingalls. It is the amend-
1 ■ lit of which Plumb some lime since gave
"'dice, prohibiting members of congress,
officials of the government and their fanu-
hes Irum accepting free passes, and piro-
lui.iting the railroad companies from
buying them such passc-s or reduced rates.
To this Teller ottered an amendment
I'l'eliibiting any of the subsidized railroads
Irom giving free passes.
Edmunds said if Teller would extend the
provisions of his amendment so as to cover
not only subsidy roads, but coming within
'he purview of the act, he Edmunds)
would favor it. Teller modified the
maenciment.
Considerable opposition was shown to
this amendment, and on motion of Logan
it was laid on the table.
9ome discussion arose as to the effect of
vp' hill on clergymen, and to avoid doubt,
brown secured an amendment providing
that the restrictions of the bill, as to re-
'lu .i'd fares, should not apply to ministers
( • religion.
Edmunds secured a similar amendment
as to agricultural conventions and army
society meetings.
An amendment offered by Spooner was
agreed to, applying tlie word "unlawful”
to , the discrimination condemned by the
pul. so as to bring breeches of its provis-
iyi'- whhin the technical meaning of the
tliuise.
file bill was finally ordered reprinted as
amended, and failing to arrive at any con
vulsion as to when a vote should be taken,
the senate at 6:25 adjourned.
M('Knurl's From the President.
Washington, May 11.—The president
eat to congress to-tinv a message calling
' ’mtmii to the condition of affairs e? ' -
>g m t tali owing to the governor of tv if
, l :™ory vetoing the last appropriation
' '.'''Inch appropriated money for the sup
port of schools, courts, charitable instil u-
ons, etc., referring to the fact that under
. ’ existing law tlie legislature cannot
wuene for nearly two years, and reeom-
nii nib"^ the speedy enactment of such
i fell, at ion as will authorize the assembling
of the legislature at an early day. Also, a
i message recommending congress to make
j mi appropriation to defray the expenses
I of the inauguration of the Bartholdi statue.
Also, n messaget nelosinga communication
ticm Secretary Bayard upon the Weil and
{ la Abril treaty. Bayard calls attention to the
j fact that under the decision ofthe supreme
j court he has authority to withhold the
! payment of awards pending supplemental
negotiations between this country and
Mexico, and to the rejection by tlie senate
i of the supplemental treaty. To relieve
the action of the government from any
ambiguity of the legislative party or the
1 executive from any uncertainty as to In
line of duty in relation to the awards, lie
suggests that tlie attention of congress la-
1 earnestly invited to the present Hiatus of
the claims, and the duty of the executive
to carry out the terms of the existing
treaty in case the two houses adjourn with
out further action.

| Washington", May 10.—It is reported
that the president is giving much atten
tion to the great mass of pension bills
which were laid before him last week.
The Record shows that they were rushed
through with great rapidity, and the pres
ident seems to think, as democrats rep irt,
that the most of the hills received vu>
little attention. He is therefore likely to
ask for copies of the reports made in each
case, with a view to giving each a closer
, examination than it received in congress.

FROM DRINKING MILK.
Mho*- Suiipt'uus of HjdrojiJi
Little Rock. May 11.—A dog belonging
to A. J. Hall, a farmer living near Cabatt,
near Hds city, went mad Just week, and
among tlie animals which it wounded in
it.^ wandering about the farm was a milch
c*)r.v. The cow showed no signs of being
mfeefed by the wound, and it was
thought that hydrophobia would not
result. Yesterday, however, tlie animal
showed tiie dreaded symptoms,
and at the same time tlie farmer’s two lit
tle children who had been nourished with
the cow’s milk exhibited similar symptoms
and are in a critical condition, suffering
most terrible agonies. Other members of
tlie family are also ill, but their symptoms
are not so alarming as those ofthe chil
dren and some hope is expressed that they
may recover.

Kansas City, Mo., May 11.—A fearful
storm of wind and rain w- pt ovu* this,
city to-day, continuing f?om 11 o’clock
until noon. The court house, on Second
street, wvs totally deir.olished ah >vc the
secor.d story. 3'he Latlir o> school build
ing, on Eighth street, was partiall\ wreck
ed. and many children were caught in the
ruins. An o* en-.ll factory on Second street
was blown down. The old water works
1 uilding, near the court house, v; s blown
down.
At tne Western Union telegraph oiHce
but oiie wire is working out ol the city.
Commuricntion has been established with
St Louis, Galveston, New Orleans, and

the railroad bridge across the Missouri
river was blown into the river, blocking
the Hannibal and St. Joseph, the Rock Is
land, Wabash and Kansas City St. Joe and
Council Bluftn railroad 1 *.
Light girl- have been taken out of the
overall factory, four of whom are dead.
Many othtis are in the ruins, but there is
scarcely a hope for their lives.
In the confusion it is impossible
to ascertain definitely the extent ofthe
calamity, but it if* said over twenty em
ployes are imprisoned in the basement of
the factory. The disastrous fury of tlie
storm was confined to tb*- north end of the
oily, except in the destruction of the
Lathrop sck.-ol building, on Eighth street,
and the buildings generally, excepting
tnose mentioned, wiT^stood the fury o!
the storm.

Lonpon, May 17.—Tin* Time* sues Glad
stone is mysteriously and surprisingly silent
witji regard to the treatment of Flsier.
Th*- Standard Says there is absolutely
in'thing in Gladstone’s laborious references
in regard, to Irish representation at West
minster, whieh is likely to abate C’luiinber-
b.ill's hostility to the home rule bill.
Tlu* absurdity of the devices which Glad
stone hinted iflight meet the difficulty ex
posed a fundamental weakness of concep
tion.
The Telegraph savs: It seems that Glad-
si one is so al).sorb||n ill contemplation of
the merits of hisWvn project that lie is un-
abh to appreciate the import of tlie ob
jections oFehaniberlain and his followers,
who cannot possibly accept his conces
sions.
The Staiulered hears that Merely mid
other cabinet ministers refuse to agree to
a further modification of the home rule
bill t<> suit the radicals. The fact was
commented upon in the lobby of the
house of commons last night that while
Gladstone made sympathetic reference to
Hartingtoii, he avoided mention of Cham
berlain.
The Pall Mall Gazette this afternnon
savs that Gladstone’s speech last night
made bad worse and settled the fate ofthe
home rule bill. It adds that Henry La-
bouchere, who had acted as intermediary
between Gladstone and Chamberlain, lmd
informed the latter that the premier was
willing to make adequate concessions in
order to secure the support of the radical
leader and his adherants. Tlie speech did
not bear out this promise in the wav it had
been accepted by Chamberlain, and the
Gazette*.* says be was astonished and dis
gusted and openly declared in the lobby of
tlie house ofeonunonsthat he had been mis
led and would now opposgthe Gladstone
bill tooth and nail.
The St. James Gazette says there is no
longer anv doubt that “the disruption
Dili * Gladstone’s home rule measure has
c* .1 lapsed.

THE COTTON CROP.
lorty-fourt h congress passed a river and
hari)nr Dill equally as objectionable as the
one w hich Ims gone to the senate.
Sneaking of the river and harbor hill,
against w hich om-half of the members of
tin New York delegation voted, recalls the
f.iet that tlie four Campbells in the house
all voted against it.
“I am proud of thr record,” says Con
gressman Campbell, of the eighth New
York. -Jt is a credit to our Scotch ancestry
that we were agin .1 measure that was nil
wat* r, and, aceoidingt*' my Irish colleague
from Jersey ( i'y. \ery little of that.”

The deft at of the hill for the relief of
e itain \o!unticr ofiu’ors on Wednesday
last, which pm nosed to give to veterans
promoted the bounty they would other
wise have received, developed a singular
phase of legislative proceeding. The
amendment of Mr. Bout11!*•, of Maine, was
known to be mere luineum. Yet it was
carrieil by a majority of 55. A republican
who voted for it. and pronounced it the
esc* nee of nonsense and imperative
under any circumstances, said :
“I was obliged to do. A
negative vote could lie used most effective
ly against my renmninution. It would ho
next to impossible for a republican to cx-
, plain to his constituents what is perfectly
**h*ar to us. and lienee I voted for it to save
1 myself useless trouble in m v district.”

I As indicating the condition ofthe house
business, when the naval committee began
j to examine the special orders oi*the house,
’ it found that all available time during tho
j month of May was already occupied.

1 dinner, he found his two little children,
one t hrecand t lie other two years old, alone
in the house, and also a note from his wife,
saying that she lmd eloped with her step-
i father, Davenpori. Davenport is a middle-
1 aged aim unprepossessing man, who has
