Washington, June 3.—In the teniporu-
rv absence of the speaker, Wellbortic, of
1'exas, was designated as speaker pro tem
pore.
O’Neill, of Missouri, from the committee
cm labor, reported back the senate bill ex
tending the provision of the 8 hour law to
letter carriers. House calendar.
The house then resumed the considera
tion of the oleomargarine bill.
Hatch, of Missouri, closed the debate in
p. long speech in support of the measure,
lie referred to the present consideration of
the bill as one of the most remarkable par
liamentary contests which had taken place
in the house for many years. He defended
ihu committee on agriculture, contending
that it had not exceeded its jurisdiction in
reporting a revenue measure,and attributed
much of the antagonism which it had met
to to a feeling that it had not come from
the ways and means committee.
The gentleman who had op
posed the bill, but stilled
with the cry of “fraud” an honorable
measure. There was not a single word in
the proposition that any honorable man
could object to. It defined oleomargarine
and placed a tax upon it. Where was the
fraud? It was in the manufacture of the
article; it was in the sale of the article.
The fraud was on sixty million of people,
who were asked to buy it under a false and
fraudulent name.
After a stormy struggle over a point of
parliamentary ruling, the house promised
to vote upon the amendments
to the lull. The amendment
was disagreed to which excluded from the
definition of “butter” a product made
from milk or cream when additional col
oring matter is used. The verbageofthe
section defining “ oleomargarine” was
changed so that the latter clause of it shall
read “ and all mixtures and compound of
tallow, beef fat, suet, lard, lardere, vegeta
ble oil, annato and other coloring matter,
intestinal fat and oifal fat made in imita
tion or semblance of butter, or when so
made calculated or intended to be sold as
butter, or for butter.”
The amendment requiring hotels and
restaurants in the District of Columbia to
placard “We use oleomargarine” was re
jected-yeas 89, nays 171).
In ucdordance with the agreement made
in the committee, Hatch submitted an
amendment, declaring his opposition to it.
however, fixing the rate of tax on oleomar
garine at three cents a pound. Rejected-
yeas 129, nays 140.
Hutch then offered an amendment fixing
the rate at five cents a pound. Agreed to
—yeas 153, nays 122.
At this point the proceedings were in
terrupted to enable Wallace to take the
oath of office as representative from the
second district of Louisianna, to till the
vacancy caused by the death of Michael
Hahn.
Brown, of Indiana, offered an amend
ment exempting from tax oleomargarine
when sold under its true name. Rejected-
yeas 82, nays 153.
Mills, of Texas, moved to recommend
the bill with instructions to committee on
agriculture to report it buck with an amend
ment, imposing a tax on incomes. Lost—
yeas 85, nays 188.

appropriately referred, praying for retalia
tion on the Canadian government for the
seizurt of A merle .in fishing vessels. This
brought on an extended discussion of the
existing complication between this coun
try and Canada, but it wits only upon th ft
general subject, as no proposed legislation
was liefn: e the senate.
The bill indemnifying the Chinese for
the loss sustained in the ltock Springs,
Wyoming, riot was taken up and Mitchell,
of Oregon, addressed the senate on it, ar
guing at length against any legal or moral
obligation to pay the money provided for
in this bill. In tile course of his remarks
he characterized the bill as an insult to
American citizens.
The hill providing for the taxation of
railroad grant lands was taken up.
Hoar withdrew his amendment limiting
purchases by one person under the act to
forty acres, and then after debate by
Plumb, Hoar, Evarts, George, Call and
Blair, the bill was passed.
Van Wyck then called up the house hill
on the same subject, and, on his motion,
the committee o:i public lands was dis
charged from Its further consideration. Hi
then moved the senate bill as amended in
the nature of a substitute to tin-
house hill, The motion was agreed
to and the house bill was amended accord
ingly in the disagreeing vote of the two
houses, Tliis brought about, the senate, on
motion of J'anWyck, ordered a committee
of conference. Tins had the effect of
avoiding delay which would result from
the consideration of the senate bill ns uu
original proposition in the house of repre
sentatives and put it at once in l lit- hands
of a conference committee.
Plumb submitted the conference com- '
mittec report, on the post office appropria
tion bill, which he said he didn’t expect to '
call up before next week, ils the principal
subject of difference was one on which
several senators would desire to speak.
Allison, from the committee on appro
priations, reported the consular and diplo- |

ments. The aggregate appropriation has

Cleveland and bride arrived here at four
o’clock this morning and arc domiciled in
one of llie cottages attached to the hotel.
There are but few persons here, us there

The place which has been selected for
the presidential hoiicvmoon is on the crest

known as the cottage of ex-Seuator Henry
Davis, of West Virginia. Deer Park is
three thousand feet above the sea. The
Davis cottage is situated about one-half
mile east of Deer Park bote!, in the midst
of a group of cottages, among which those
of Harrison Garrett, Miss Mary Gar
rett, daughter of t be late John
\V. Garrett, and of Stephen Elkins
are most conspicuous. It is a large two-
story frame house constructed especially
by the owner for the use of his family in
summer. It is in the centre of a grove and
is upon one of t lie finest driveways, forty
miles o‘. which have recently been con
structed through tlie grove and park. The
president and his bride will find abundant
uses for the horses which friends have pro
vided for him. In this mountain retreat

constructed and as smooth and even almost,

; Aurora, Ind., June 3.—Hon. William
1 Steele Holman, more familiarly known all
' over the United States as tlie “Watch Dog
of the Treasury,” i« again a candidate for
! congress. Judge Holman is now serving
his eleventh term. In 1858 he was elected
! for the first time from this district, and in
! 1859 took his seat in the thirty-sixth con-
! gress, and no western man has served
1 as long as he has. The nominating
convention meets at Greensburgh on
I June 1(), and while Judge Holman has had
j several opponents, there is little doubt that
; he will he nominated on the first ballot, as
! he usually is. The chances are now tlmt.
1 on the day of the convention there will
not be a candidate in opposition to Hol
man.
This district is democratic by majorities
, ranging from 2500 to 4000, and a nomina
tion is equivalent to an election. If Hol
man is nominated tlie republicans will not
be able to find a man that will run against
him. Judge Holman has not been away
from his post of duty at Washington since
congress convened. In all probability he
will not even come home to attend the
convention.

The knighLs of labor convention is over.
The ceneral aiai inbly at 5 o’clock this I
i evening, after a ton days’ session, ad- j
journed sine die. The convention was
culled for the purpose of considering five j
subjects—the southwest troubles, the regu- !
i Intliin of strikes mid boycotts, the relation
of the order with trades unions, the rap
idly Increasing membership and
labor legislation. The general assembly
lias given to the world no token
that it bus touched upon tlie southwest
question. It is said Hint something has
lieen done to shut oil' indiscriminate strik
ing and boycotting, but the methods to be
used have not been divulged. The lessem-
i lily lias regulated the reception of new
j mi nihers by recalling the commis
sions of its din) organizers. In legislation

gress to regulate the banking system by
l establishing loan offices in every county.

I circular of the trades’ unions, which it
was hoped would restore harmony bo-
I tween the orders engaged in labor reform,
j The Just, session was a veritable love feast
and every member who said
I anything ngainst any other member
extended the hand of fellowship. The
home club department of knights of labor
were, it is said, a trifle more liberal to-day,
and after securing eleven members of the
eularged executive board allowed two of
their opponents to become members. On
Wednesday afternoon a nominating ballot
was taken for the fourth associate member
of the board and David A. Oilmen, of Ham
ilton, Ontario, “a home club man,” said
to he antagonistic to trades union,
was in the lead on the second and final bal
lot. This morning he wok elected. The
fifth member put through wus Jus. R.
Buchanan, of Denver, editor of the Labor
Enquirer, and a strong opponent of the
“Home t'lnh.” The sixth mini was Ira B.

being leading officers of the lubor

for the conspirators and *59011 for the
rioters. All the Knights of Labor secured
bail. The boycotting conspiracy with
which they are charged grows out of the

New Orleans, June 3—The American
Improved Telephone company, Watson
Vanbenthuysen president, lias been oper
ating In this eltv for about two years. A
large number of instruments were in use,
ana tlie new company was making inroads
upon the old telephone company. Horae
months ago the Bell telephone company
brought suit In the United States circuit
court for ail injunction against the National
improved company to prevent it from
using the telephone unless it paid n
royalty to the Bell people, claiming such
whs an infringement of the Bell patent.
The case was argued several weeks ago.
There was a formidable array of legal tal
ent on both sides, and the argument con
tinued for fifteen days. The counsel were
the same who appeared in the great tele
phone case before the interior department,
and the argument was practically the same
uh was employed in that, ease, covering the
entire telephone question. Judge Billings
was with Circuit Judge Bar dee in the hear
ing, and joined him in tlie decision which
was rendered to-day. The National Im
proved company was confident of a favor
able issue of the suit, and so was the gen
eral public. The decision, therefore, occa
sioned much surprise. It ivas in favor of
the Boll company on all the points in
volved in tlie suit.
In their decisions Judges Hardee and Bil
lings say that they do not understand that
the weights given by one circuit court to
the adjudication of another rests entirely
upon t he bnsis of comity, but as well upon
that of recognized rights and of conveni
ence, and that it is largely to prevent more
than one court going through with tlie in
vestigations of tlie same facts, in addition
to tiie weight to lie given to the adjudica
tions in favor of the Bell company in other
circuits. On the basis of convenience,
comity and recognized rights it is urged
that tnc National Telephone company was
estopped from further proceedings by
the decision of Judge McKin
non in the Pittsburgh ease, because it
was privy to that case and hud a. day in
court there. The conclusion says the de
cision cannot be averred that the National
telephone company was directly concerned
in the Pittsburgh suit, and was bound and
concluded by the decisions therein ren
dered, and that the decree of Judge Mc
Kinnon would warrant an injunction in
the present case against the National Im
proved telephone company; but, said tlio
judges, they had not rested here, hut hud
tried tlie cose de novo. The action of the
executive department at Washington in
instituting suit against the Bell company
for the abrogation of their patents did not
nft'ect the ease, as tiie determination of the
points involved was for the courts alone.
In respect to the validity of the Bell pa
tent the court reaches tin: conclusion that
I he inaention is set forth in the clause and
- , , . -pecilioulions us originally filed, and that,
cotters and arrests by the wholesale are j therefore, any inquiry into tiie question

ST. Louis, June 3. A great lockout of
; the plulling mill employes and carpenters,
i 15,000 in all, is threatened. When the de
mand for eight hours was made by the
1 pinning mill employes it was refused, and
the employers comliined to uphold the old
ten hour system. The Phmiiix mill, how
ever, remained outside of the combination
! and settled with their men oil a basis of
nine hours’ work per day and an advance
I of 1(1 per cent, in wages. This was
not satisfactory to tlie amalgamated
I council of building trades, and a strike
was ordered. The men refused to obey the
order and their council boycotted the I’In
nix mill and employes. This caused seve
ral of the master builders to ahuiul.m t heir
work on iiutid and a meeting yesterday
adopted a resolution, the purport of which
was that unless the boycott oil the mill
sliail lie raised la-fore Monday next, oil
that day all the building or business con
nected with il will lie stopped. This ac
tion is of great importance, for if the
amalgamated council persists in
its boycott and the builders in their resolu
tion, tlie bricklayers, carpenters, stone
masons, cellar diggers and all wortceen
