'AGRICULTURAL BILL PASSED.
It Appropriates 83,363,000 For That Purpose—No Amendments From the Committee Report—Fourth Class Mail limited—Cuban Resolution Krror Corrected—Action of the House.
WASHINGTON, March 4.—The senate gave most of the day to the agricultural appropriation bill and passed that measure carrying $3,262,000 without material .amendment. Another bill passed during the day changes the limitations
WASHINGTON, March 4.—The house spent the entire day in debating the amendment to the legislative appropriation bill to abolish the fee system in the cases of United States district attorneys and marshals. The salaries fixed by the amendment range from $2,000 to $o,000. The amenament was endorsed by almost every member of the judiciary committee. It was argued the amendment would reduce the expenses of the United States courts, which have doubled since 1878, at least §500,000 for the first year and result in stopping the pernicious padding of the business of the federal courts. The debate will be continued hereafter under the five minute rule,
BERMUDA SEIZURE.
Tlio Vessel Released, but Some of tlitf Msn Are Held. NEW YORK, March 4.—The United States government yesterday abandoned all proceedings against the alleged Cuban filibustering steamship Bermuda. United States District Attorney McFarlane secured a special order from Washington yesterday afternoon ordering the vessel released from custody. The dispatch also ordered the release of all the arms, money, ship's stores and other things seized by the United States marshals, and directed that they be placed where they were originally found.
This does not indicate, however, that the government has abandoned the proceedings against the leaders of the alleged expedition, for shortly before the Bermuda was formally released United States Marsh.al John McCarty boarded her and arrested three members of her crew. The new prisoners are Charles C. Taylor, the steward Thomas Nelson, the, engineer, and James Howl and, engineer's assistant. They are held as witnesses against the other prisoners.
As soon as United States District Attorney McFarhuie received the order from Washington he at once communicated with Emmett R. Olcott and L. Rubens, counsel for the owners of the Bermuda. They produced before McFarlane Captain Thomas A. Thompson, who is on record as the owner of the vessel, and Louis Espine, who is said to be the owner of the arms. They were told that the government would no longer detain the vessel or the arms seized aboard the lighter Stranahan, but that the dynamite and ammunition would still be held, as the carrying of this portion of the cargo was a violation of the United States statutes.

SHOWED HIS ROLL IN A SALOON. The Chicago Beach Body Believed to HATS Been Fully Identified.
CHICAGO, March 4.—The Hyde Park police think they will clear up all mystery surrounding the case of the man whose body was taken from Lake Michigan near the Chicago Beach hotel Sunday. The body is supposed to be that of Gottleib Able, a cooper from Michigan City, Ind. Last Thursday Able came to Chicago in search of work. He went to Kensington on Wednesday to apply for work in a cooper shop there. He was not successful in procuring a situation and spent most of the day in Kensington visiting the saloons freely. In one of them he showed a roll of money, saying that he could live even if he did not find work at once.
The last seen of Able he was walking south on the Illinois Central tracks in company with a number of men whose acquaintance he had made in saloons during the day. Abie's Chicago friends attemoted to identify the body yesterday. but could not do so, especially as the head was so badly mutilated. In general characteristics, however, the body strongly resembled that of Able.

There had been a feud of long standing b. tweeu Pardue and Jones, and not 10 words passed before shooting began. D. I). Dodd, a son-in-law of Jones, says that Pardue and his companion were the aggressors. John R. Jones received a pistol ball iu the right temple that ranged down and came out at the month and shattered the jaw. Another bullet went through his shoulders and another struck him in the thigh. Nat Jones was wounded in the hip. Pardue was placed under arrest.
GETTING TOGETHER.
Pauncefote and Amlrade Trying Not to Fight. WASHINGTON, March 4.—It has been leaj'.- iby the Associated Press that the British ambassador here, Sir Julian Pauncefote, and the Venezuelan minister in this city, Senor Andrade, have entered into direct negotiations for a settlement of the Yuruan incident, which involved the arrest of a British police official in the territory in dispute between Venezuela aud Great Gritain, the hauling down of the British flag and a subsequent demand for an indemnity upon the part of Great Britain.
It is impossible to learn to what stage this prospective settlement of the most important incident arising out of the dispute over the Venezuelan boundary has advanced, but there is good reason to believe that some definite announcement concerning the matter may be expected at an early date.
SALVADOR WILL ARBITRATE. The Boundary DISPUTE SJ'- Nicaragua and Cual.i
