W AsiiiNutoN, April 11.—The house yesterday simut the entire dav in peueral debate on the “tilled cheese'' bill. Today the bill will be read under the 5-minute rule for amemlmen'. A very cousidft-able opposition to the me isure has developed and some of the members interested in its passage fear it will fail unless radically amended. The principal objection seems to be raised to the tax features of the bill—#400 on the manufacturer and #40 on the retailer— while there appears peneral unanimity j in favor of a bill to compel the branding of filled cheese. Those who sisike in favor of the bill were Messrs. Orosve-I nor (Rep.. (4.), Tawney (Rep., Minn.), [

Wash ini (ton, April 11.—At the night session of the house an attack was made on the pension committee for recommending larger pensions than the law allows to the widows of officers. Mr. Talbert (Dem., S. ('.), Mr. Baker (Rep., N. H.), Mr. Hemingway (Rep., Ind.) and Mr. McCall (Rep., Tenu.) all protested against this course. The latter declared that he was willing to attend Friday night si-ssions if their object was the relief of the poor soldiers who fought in the trenches, but if their purpose was to vote large pensions to officers' widows he would not be present. Mr. Pickier, chairman of the committee, defended the course of the committee, especially in the <\.se of the widow of

Philadelphia, April 11.—The North American of this city prints what purports to be sentences from the confession alleged to have been made by Murderer 11. 11. Holmes. Among other things the story says: In prefacing the confession, which covers in full nearly three newspaper pages written in Holmes’ own handwriting and detailing with a minuteness that is simply at times revolting, the arch mutilator and author of .’7 murders, as he admits himself to be, states with something like pathos that he dot* so simply that he may obtain money enough to educate his lx>y. Holmes writes of his bloodcurdling atrocities with an abandon that simply appals one.
