Wabuixoton, Jannary22.—In tho House,
owing to a mistake iu a publication in tbo
Becoid this morning of the vote upon the
adoption of the conference report on tho
inlet State commerce bill, numerous cor-
rectiona of the Itecord were made.
Mr. Hammond, from the committee on
judiciary, reported back adversely the reso
lution calling on the Attorney-Gineral for
information as to the legal authority nnder
which the directors of the Union Pacific
Bailroad Company consolidated that com
pany with the Kansas Pacific Bailroad Com
pany and the Denver Pacific Bailroad Com
pany, and reorganized the aame nnder the
name of the UniohfPaclfic ltv.ilway Ccm
pany, and nnder which this last named

The report accompanying tbo resolution
states that the information desired will bo
obtained if the 1 joint resolution which
passed the Honse a few days ago for the in
vestigation of the accounts of Pacific rail
roads shall become a law, and that for sev
enty years, from Wirt to Garland, it has
been uniformly held thftt tho Attorney-
General cannot legally give opinions when
called upon by Congress or its committee*,
Mr Wilson, of West Virginia, from tho
eoiamitteo on appropriations, reported tho
District of Columbia appropriations bill,
and it was referred to the committee of the
whole. It makes a total appropriation of
$3,873,B28, while the estimates submitted
by the commissioners aggregated $1,208,-
494. The appropriation for the current
year was $3,078,203. The principal items
of increase are iu the appropriatiocs for the
improvements of streets and public schools.
No appropriation b made for the extension
of snburban streets and avennes.
The Heuato amendments were conenrred
in to the bill for tbo forfeiture of the Now
Orleans, Baton Bongo and Vicksburg laud
grant, and to confirm settlero’ titlea to cer
tain ol thtBo lande. The vote was 151 to SI,
Mr. Wallace, of Louisiana, offered a reso
lution, which was adopted, reciting that tho
President and benate ha/e agreed to the
terms of a treaty between the United States
and the government of the Hawaiian
Islands, and that tbo treaty contains pro
visions for the admission ot certain articles
free of duty, and instructing the committee
on the judiciary to inquire into those facts
and report to the House whether a treaty
which involves the rate ot duty to bo im-
losed on any article cau bo valid and bind-
ug without tho concurrence of tho House
ol Bepreaentstives.
The Bouse then resumed, In themor iiog

the rate of ptu-ion allowed for total deaf
ness to $20 a month. The opponents of
the bill refrained from voting and left the
Bouse without a quorum, and iu this con
dition it remained until lire morning hoar
expired, and the hill went over withont ac

After some filibustering by tho Bepnbli-

As the older one was dead his body was

small, sallow youth was carried to tho big
white hospital room in the jail, which was
filled with excited citizens. loan hour he
became conscious, and Sheriff Unify ned
County Physician Magness tried to question
him. He would only admit that ho was

kmttn, Trx , January 22.—Yesterday a
bill pasted the Hou*e to engrossment, mak
ing ft unlawful lor any judicial, exeentive,
The New York Times gives the following
description of the sensational tragedy at
IVhite Plains, N. Y., in which the principal
actors were Thomas Bnd John Treatham,
and concerning which brief telegrams have
already been published:
Two young outlaws who bad cheated the
gallows, rested in two pine coffins in the
basement ot an undertaker's plaoe in Whito
Plains yesterday morning, and n little
further down the etreet in the upper xtory
ot the shop of George H. Mead, tuo village
baker, lay William £ Mead, bla sou, 23
years old, the victim of a wanton murder.
The quiet villagers, after a fitful sleep,
had arisen with the sun only to find that
thd triple tragedy, a* reoordad in yeater-
dayVTiinea, had not been a horrible night
mare, and they immediately aet to work to
find out what bad really taken place. The
details, as far ar discovered, made a start
ling instance of the lengths to which tho
ethics of the dime novel can carry two
worthless young ruffians, who had pro
faned to “die with their boots on” rather
than pay the legal penalty of their crime.
The young men, as remembered by
George HndBun, the night wulchmuu he
Whito Plains station, bad arrived on tho
south bound 8 o'clock evening train. He
noticed them moro particularly when they
again appeared at tho station, on tho ar
rival of tlis 8:13 train, and s.-ked If it went
to New Yotlt. They were told that tho next
train for tbo city left thero at 10:15, and
thereupon they went away. A few minutes
later two figeres with slouched hata were
noticed in Bailroad avenue. They accosted
some mu/1 ciara whom they met aud ascer
tained that they wero going to a surprise
party at Chief of Polico dee’s honse. boon
after tbo younger of the two walked into A.
J. Mead's shoe store aud asked for a fow
pennies. Mrs. Mood replied that sho had
nona to givo, and the boy with a pleasant
“Never mind" walked out.
bubsequent events show that tho two
then ern-t-ed tho street to the bakery of
George Q. Mead. It was 9:13 o'clock, and
little George Mend, 13 years old, was just
pulling down the curtains os the two ap
peared at the door, nod thn older drow a
revolver, and, aiming it at him,
slid gruffly, "bt»nd still and
don't speak,” The little fellow,
with a bhriek, rushed into tho back
room, loaving tho till on the loft unprotect
ed, and shunted to his brother Will, **ho
was reading a book. He had been running
an express lice betwocn Harlem and tho
lowul part of this city, through funds pro
vided by his father, upon nls marriage,
about two years ago, bnt it bad proved un
successful,and about a week sgojtto returned
homo to talk, about a partnership with hi*
father. £
William was a stout young man, and ha
ruahol to the front of the shop and solzad
tho two intruder* by the lapels of their
overcoats and started to push them ovor
the threshold. Just then tuo bigger fellow
rat his 41-calibre revolver behind Mead's
lack and fired. The bullet pierced hia
heart and he felt back with one shriek of
'Mnrder!” Tho ruffians tired one more
shot, which did not take effect, and then
the two yonthfnl desperadoes stepped ont
and started on a leisurely trot, as if running
ior o train, toward the Tarrytown road.
The shots had been heard, and the little
boy’s voioe rang ont, “Murder! My brother
k killed!" Deputy Sheriff bhirmer and a
score of citizens, who were almost near
enough to see the tragedy, answered the I
alarm and spread It with shouts of “There
they go!” until fully 200 citizens started io
pursuit, not knowing exactly where they
were going.
Chatterton Hill looms np at the foot of
Bailroad avenue, and the Yonkers road led
over it, faintly discernible bv means of
threo feeble street lamps, hardly visible in
the mist of the overoast aky. Up the hill
went the fugitives on their steady jog, bnt
the road looked nnnsed, and they stopped
in at the Bnckhont House to ask for direc
tions. They wero told that the Tarrytown
road lay below, and they turned to retrace
their stepa. A mnffled roar reached them
from the distanoe. Patties of enraged men
were searching fruitlessly In all directions,
and thoughts of lynching were filling their
minds, *s the horror the cold blooded
crime filled them. The fugitives hung in
the ehadow of the trees and a big stone
walk
Jr,at then a sleigh dashed put them Up
the hill. It contained Chief Bee, Frank J.
Cox, and Mr. Newell, a druggist, who had
provided the conveyance. Chief Ste
caught tight of the two shadows, sod with
a shout he and Cox jnmped ont and took
the other side of tbe road. Chief Bee's ob
ject, as ue had uuiy Cub pUtci, was to drive
the men down to the pursuer* at ths foot
of th* hilL He did this by shouting to a
protended erowd at tbe top of the bill:
"Come on, boya. Why don't you back me
up?"
Just then the two figures passed under
one oi the feeble gaslight*, and be taw the
gl'tter of pistols. He stepped out aud com
manded, “Come out there!" The ouiy an
swer wu two whizzing bullets. Tbe Chief*#

Berlin, January 22.—The new German
Liberals of tho second Berlin district met
to-day for the purpose of decidiag on their
action in the coming election for member
of tbo Reichstag. Three thousand electors
attended. It was resolved to support Pro-
lessor Virchow against Gemrul von Moltke
aa cudidate. Herr Richter, In a epoch
advocating this policy, said he admitted
that tho personal merits uf General von
Moltko were super-eminent, hut contended
that it waa not tho dnty of elector) to pro
vide that tin* military interests of tho em
pire should he strongly represented in tho
Reichstag, but rather to elect to that body
those who could and would defend the civil
interests of the people to tbe end that
there might be a proper equalization ot tho
civil and military c’aims put forth. Tbo
views of eminent civilians should be recog
nized in opposition to a one-ridtd military
viow. When tho Duke of Wellington, con
tinued Herr Ilichter, utilized hia military
glory and hia personal merits to over-ride
the constitution of England. Englishmen
defiantly dodorod that though he had been
victorious in Spain and at Waterloo, he
should not be victorious against tho petple
of England. In liko manner, General yon
Moltke, though he had boon victorious aver
Austaia and over France, ahouid not bo
peroiiuued to be vistorious against tho citi
zens of Berlin.

Reichstag made by Bismarck. Bi,'lister's

form aud thousands of copies sold.
Tho manifesto of the Free Conservatives
asserts plainly that victory for th. nnmui.
Uon v ill entail a European war. It "says
that it tbe septernate term he accepted the
development of tbe nation will be peaceful
and happy.
The Guelphe party in Hanover publish a
manifesto declaring that tho partial called
National, in agitating an immoderate in
crease in the army, keep the country in per
petual fear of war. The manifesto says:
It U not upon great armies, but upon those
who, preserving the (eith of their fathers,
defend faithfully and fearlessly the rights
of tbe people, that we must rely for tho
basis cron which io place the well being of
the nation.
The Socialists met and deddod to
run a candidate wherever there wm
a chance to oust a Conservative, and where
no Nationalists will stand. The party will
•upport the Liberal candidate. As a pre
lude to their manifesto, tbe Hocialist* have
