"whereas at this date last year one rovenne cntter hart seized three vessels for unlawful sealing:, two revenue cutters have so far failed to report the capture of an v trespassers. It is suggested, however, that this is due to the moditicatiou of the orders to the revenue steamers, by which they were to confine themselves to watching the shores of the seal islands and not to search the outlying waters too carefully. PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS, Memorial on IVnilon Fee and the Election Bill Presented to the Senate. Washington. July 25. After a quorum had been secured in the Senate to-day, Mr. Blair presented a memorial from the headquarters of a Grand Army post, expressing abborence at the action of Congress in allowing pension agents a fee of 10 in ' each case under the recent dependont pension act, and inclosing the circular of a Washington claims agent offering to active men in localities one-half the fee in all cases sent to him. He said that he concurred with the memorialists in the expression of their abborence." Mr. Cockrell presented a memorial from St, Louis, Mo., protesting against the passage by the Senate of the federal election bill, and stating that the masses of the people were so "dazed with the enormity of the proposed outrage on the sanctity of the ballot" they had not yet formulated words in condemnation of it.- Other memorials against the bill were presented from Adrian, Mich. The House bill on the lubject was, on motion of Mr. Hoar, referred to the committee on privileges and elections. Mr. Sherman offered a resolution instructing the committee on printing to report xvhether anv abuses exist in printing matter in the Congressional Record that ought not to be printed therein, and to report such bill or regulation as will limit such printing to the actual proceedings in both houses; also, whether it is expedient to edit the debates of Congress by the omission of such parts as are immaterial and of such papers as are already printed as public documents. The resolution gave rise to some discussion, but was finally referred to the committee on printing. Mr. Morrill moved to proceed to the consideration of the tariff bill, and Mr. Gray antagonized that motion with one to resume consideration of the House bill to transfer the revenue marine service to the Navy Department. The latter motion was agreed to yeas, 32; nays, 22 and the revenue marine bill was taken up. On motion of Mr. Frye amendments were adopted extending the application of the bill to the life-saving service. Mr. Cockrell. in arguing against the bill, said that of all the monstrosities that had come before the Fifty-lirst Congress this bill beat them all. It was worthy of the aggressive and restless disposition of the .distinguished Senator from New Hampshire I Mr. Chandler, who had able lieutenants ou the tloor of the Senate dancing while he. behind the scenes, pulled the wires. Mr. Cockrell had not concluded his remarks when the hour of 1 arrived, and the tarilf bill came up as unfinished busi. ness. Filibustering In the House. Washington, July 25. In the Honse today Mr. Cannon of Illinois, from the committee on 'appropriations, reported the sundry civil appropriation bill, with Senate amendments, with certain recommendations relative thereto. On a point of order raised by Mr. Breckinridge of Kentucky the bill was sent to too committeo of the whole, and Mr. Cannon moved that the House go into such committee for its consideration. This motion was antagonized "by the Democrats in tho interest of the private calendar, but prevailed yeas, 104; nays, HI. Mr. Enloe of Tennessee, having changed his vote for that purpose, moved a reconsideration. The motion to recon- ' fider was tabled and tho House accordingly went into committee, Mr. Burrows of Michigan in the chair. A great deal of time was consumed in reading tho amendments and in tixing the limit of debate. Speeches were made for and against the changes made by tho Senate by Messrs. Turner of New York, Breckinridge of Kentucky. Vanclever and Cannon, but before the discussion was concluded the committee rose and the Hoosn took a recess, tho evening session to be for the consideration of private pension bills. Nothing was done at the evening session. MEs'OK MATTERS.

Messrs. Flatt and Miller Out of the Race for the New York Senatorshlp. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, July 25. Mr. Thornton, ol northern New York, a delegate to the national convention of 18S8, and an active Republican politician, was in Washington to-day to consult with parliamentary authorities upon a case liable to arise out of .the contest in the Empire Stateoverthe election of a successor to Senator Evarts. He brought with him a piece of news relating to two prominent people of New York. Said he: "iiepublicans in our State accept as genuine the recent announcement by exSenator Piatt of his retirement from politics. Ex-Senator Warner Miller has made a contract with the Nicaragua Caual Company that he will not engage in politics for a term of five years. So both of these men are ont of the senatorial race. The principal entries, one of whom I believe will be successful, are State Representative Erwin. of St. Lawrence county, and State Senator Sloat Fassctt, of Chemuug county." Hnlf-Fare Itnten for Hoosiers. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, July 25.

Tho Hoosiers who are anxious not to miss their votes at the coming election, and who are in doubt as to whether they will bo permitted to vote unless they register, will, to the probable number of about one hundred, tako advantage of this opportunity and visit then, homes at the end of this month and in October. The tickets are good for return trip within fifteen days from the date of sale. The Clayton-Ilreckinridgn Election Case Washington. July S3. Tho ClaytonBreckinridge election case was under discussion for some time to-day by tho House committee on elections. Mr. Lacey, chairman of the sub-committee which examined the matter, made a statement of the results of tho election in the different counties as shown by the testimony taken, which statement was ordered to bo printed for tho use of the committee. Probably the case will be disposed of at the next meeting. Nominations to Office. Washington, July 25. The President sent the following nominations to the Senate to-day: To be United States consuls.

Movement in Brooklyn That May Result In a TIe-Ui of All Building Operations. Nkw York, July 25. In Brooklyn the trouble engendered by the roofers strike several weeks ago is extending rapidly to other trades. This morning a meeting of the walking delegates of the building trades' sections of Brooklyn was held, when the question of putting a boycott on the bricks manufactured at Haverstraw was discussed. The reason assigned for this is because the Brick-manufacturers' Association is employing non-union men. This movement will be far-reaching, as it tie9 up the work on most all the buildings in Brooklyn and Jersey City. The plumbers and trastittors bave been ordered to tie up to-morrow. Their action is in sympathy with the roofers and sheet-iron-workers, who are striking for eight hours per day. New York Labor Troubles. New York, July 25. The strike of workmen on the public school is extending, and it now includes twenty-four of the grammar-schools. Only a few non-union men are at work on these. The trouble may seriously interfere with the opening of the schools in the fall. . The drivers in the employ of the streetcleaning department all returned to work this morning, an amicable arrangement having been arrived at between the men and Commissioner Beattie. All the cloak-makers who have been on a

strike since June 10, resumed work this morning in all the manufactories and shops. The manufacturers say now they will be able to meet all contracts. Carpenter Strike May Be Renewed. Chicago, July 25. It is probablo that another big strike of carpenters will take place next Friday. The carpenters' union claim that the tvo bosses' associations have united their interests and are trying to force down the scale of wages. The "new bosses'" association, at a meeting last night, adopted a resolution giving warning that the schednle of prices agreed upon last April would no longer bo respected. ALLIES OF THE SOUTH. Kansas City Democrats Meet and Resolve Against the Federal Election Bill. Kansas City, July 25. At a mass-meeting of Democrats, this evening, the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, By the Democrats of Kansas City, a cosmopolitan cltj', embracing in its ranks both ex-Union and ex-confederate soldiers, a city bavin? business relations with all sections of the country, North, East, outu and West, that, in the interest of peace and frood will, business prosperity, both present and past, and in the future, we condemn and deprecate the passage of what is known as the federal election bill now pending in Congress. As a city entirely cosmopolitan, neither allied to the North nor the South, we believe that it will be for the het interests of the whole country that no laws bo enacted which will stir up strife and engender sectional feeling, and we denounce the attempt to pass this bill as a deliberate blow at the liberties of the peoplo and their inalienable right to elect their own representatives. livery Firm Opposed to the ISoycott. Macon, Ga., July 25. The Telograph today made a careful canvass of the business community, and found not a siuglo linn in favor of the boycott proposed by the Atlanta Constitution. All of them opposed it, and many expressed in the strongest possible terms their indignation that a reckless newspaper should have so misrepresented tho feeling of the South. There is in the community absolutely no sympathy with theso soctional movements, and there is a probability that a mass-meeting will be asked to protest against tho attempt to put Southern business men in a false position. The Idea Ridiculed. Ciiattanoooa, Tenn., July 25. A consensus of opinion, taken by the Times, of leading Republicans and Democrats of Chattanoogo, shows the former aro almost without exception opposed to tho federal election bill, and think it is unnecessary and will do more harm than good, and the latter without any exception ridicule the idea of a boycott, and have no sympathy with any such movement.

PLUCKY SAN SALVADOBIANS

Tho Little Central American Republic MakingaStrongFight Against Odds. Review of the Situation by a Recent Resident of the Country Conflicting Reports of BattlesArmenians Massacred by Turks. SITUATION IN CENTRAL AMERICA Discussed In All Its 'Phases by One "Who Know Uncle Sam's Interests at Stake. New York, July 25. Dr. Wolfred Nelson, a traveler and scientist, who has spent many years in tho Central American provinces, and who has just returned from that country on his way to Europe, was seen by a reporter yesterday and questioned concerning tho reported outbreak between Guatemala and San Salvador. "I believe the reports are true," he said, "but I baso my belief on what I know of tho condition of a Hairs in those "countries, and not at all on the consular reports. Those consuls aro the most active men in the world in suppressing tho truth about disturbances of this sort. Almost constantly since the war of 18S5, when General Barrios was shot dead on the field of Chalchuapa, the Guatemalans have made strenuous efforts to dominate in the Central American provinces. Their ambitions in this regard have been fired by the arbitrary leadership of Gen. Barrilas, who declared himself President, and has ruled .with an iron hand since t':at time. The support that has been given Barrilas has been largely derived from the army of Guatemala, a heterogenous body of Indians of the peon, or laboring class, who are badly clad, poorly paid, and seldom fed. There are more generals than privates in the army of Guatemala, and the country is so large, and the principal places so inaccessible that, while they have a large population, they cannot use it iff military purposes. "By a series oPvurcible measures, of which the recent battle is only an instance, the Guatemalans have striven to force upon San Salvador and her allied provinces the bonds of a so-called Central American union a federation that can have no possible' cohesion, and one that means only the absolute domination of tho larger province of Guatemala, under its tyrannical ruler, Barrilas. Against these forcible measures the San Salvadorians have made every resistance. It is hearths and home with them", and successful opposition means existence. They and their sister republics aro closely allied, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding, while tho Guatemalans are divided into a number of petty factions, having their own bitter animosities. Their country, moreover, is so large that a number of revolutions can go on at the same time. There will be many more battles before this war is over, and if San Salvador is not victorious in the end it will be duo only to the superiorforces arrayed against her, not to her ownweaknoss or faint-beartedness, for the San Salvadorians are tho best lighters in Central America. Their women are as brave as tigers. They are the most nerfect Amazons I ever saw, and it goes without saying that the men aie equally formidable. 'I am perfectly convinced that the reports of an alliance between Guatemala, Nicaragua and Costa Rica are without foundation in fact. Such reports can only havo been sent out through consul agencies which, as I havo said, cannot be relied upon. Upon the allies of San Salvador in this tight her success largely depends. The Nicaraguans and Costa Iticans must make common cause with her or become a part of the union with which they are entirely out of sympathy. Nicaragua is the only government in Central America that has never been accused of irregular practices. She has no foreign debt, she lias bulls all her own railroads, her people are good'and 1 loyal, and they will hght with indomitable perseverance. The Costa Ricans are the natural allies of Nicaragua. The former government can bring her troops down the Pacitic sea-coast by water, as she has done before, or march them from Puuta Arenas, on the Pacitic coast, to Kivas, on LakeNicaragua. There they can be transferred by steamer to Granada, to Ma say a, to Manugua, to .Leon and to Connto, the Pacitic port of Nicaragua, and then bo marched by the mountain passes into San Salvador. The Guatemalans have found, in their recent skirmish operations against San Salvador, that it is no easy matter to transfer troops. The capital, the city of Guatemala, lies inland and upland seventythree miles. To get into San Salvador an invading army from Guatemala must go through a narrow pass, which is constantly guarded by a peoplo warlike and brave to a degree. If Guatemala persists in her efforts to -bring about this union, it is through this detile that her armies must march, and it is on tho narrow strip of land to the south that her battles must be fought. I have heard it said that Spanish Honduras will support Guatemala in her contest. This is very doubtful. In the event of her making common cause with Guatemala she instantly exposes her northern frontier to invasion from Mexico, and there Guatemala cannot assist her. That General Bogran, President of Honduras, would willingly assist Barrilas there can be no doubt, inasmuch as Guatemala lias always dictated the policy of Spanish Honduras. "But Mexico, Guatemala's northern neighbor, has a largo standing arm v. selected from, a population of D,000,000. The usefulness of these troops is seen in the fact that the boundaries between Guatemala and Mexico have Jong been in dispute. A large sectiou of Guatemala undoubtedly belongs to Mexico, from a geographical stand-point. Mexico wants the border lines rectified, and when revolution or war occurs, her opportunity is presented. Indeed, Mexico has already sent troops to the frontier, awaiting her chanco to invest the adjacent country, 'Bat k of this whole question there is one of great interest to Americans the outlook for tho Nicaragua canal, and the effect upon that enterprise resulting from war. It is tho generally accepted belief in Central America, and throughout a wellfounded one. too, that if Guatenialaucoeeds in overcoming San Salvador, and also Nicaragua, she will load' down the waterway with so many concessious, as to make its completion impracticable, if not impossible. There aro a good many Americans down there, and they aro much interested in the defeat of Guatemala for this reason. The feeling in Nicaragua regarding ner greas sister repuDiic in tne north is one of friendship and esteem. She is small and weak, but she knows that she holds the key to the problem of interoceauic trausit in which the United States has the greatest possible interest. It is a wellknown fact that some years ago French capital in De Lesieps's interests made an' ellort to approach the government of Nicaragua and prevent the granting of a concession to ouiiu tne great waterway. 1 ue scucme was exposeu at tne time in L.a Kstrella do Guatemala, edited bv J. G. Hollaud, at present a refugee from Guatemala in this city. It is said in Nicaragua that this same French capital stands ready at any time to tempt the Guatemalan government in the event of her success over San Salvador and Nicaragua. It is also said that if offered the money would be accepted and tho proposed bnilding of tho great canal eilectually suppressed." Latest Rumors from the Seat of War. City of Mexico, July 25. Yesterday tho Salvadorian, General Ezeta, brother of President Ezeta, defeated the Guatemalans again at Atezcatempo Chingo, in Guatemala, twenty leagues from the frontier, obliging the Guatemalans to abandon their fortifications at Coco. The Salvadorians captured an immense amount of booty, including correspondence between JUUtticuiaiuu fecucitiis aim Ciil vaUUiiail , traitors. General Ezeta has sent a personal challenge to rresiaent uarriias, of Guatemala. According to a 6pecial to El Universal, Guatemalan agents at spreading false reports of victories. Geroninio Poa says that Honduras will take no activo part, while Nicaragua and Costa Rica are, privately, friends of Salvador. Another dispatch says the troops of San Salvador invaded Guatemala and planted their Hag upon Guatemalan soil. Guatemala was insulted, and declared war. The Guatemalan troops fought with great courage .at .Cootepeiiue and,. Chingo. The loss

was great on both aides. Yesterday the troops of San Salvador were driven out of Guatemala.

Dispatches from Gnatemala say that tho Pacitic Mail steamers will receive a subsidy from the Guatemalan government, which gives the Guatemalan authorities certain rights while the vessels are in Guatemalan waters. Anions these is the richt to search for contraband goods, among which count arms for nations at war with Guatemala. ARMENIANS MASSACRED. Horrible Outrages by Turks Fifty Dead Bodies-Found 350 Persons Wounded. London, July 26. The News gives the following 'details' of the recent riots at Erzeroum: On June 20 the soldiery were ordered to disperse a gathering of Armenians who were holding a meeting in a church-yard. The soldiers began a massa cre of the Armenians, and the Turkish pop ulace joined in the attack. The shops and houses of the Armenians were pillaged. The rioting lasted four hours. The British consulate, at which, on the samo night a fete was being given for the benefit of poor Armenians, was stoned and its gates and windows were broken. Tho consul and the members of his family took refuge in the cellars of the building, and the fete was aoonaoned. The American mission served as a refugo for fifty fugitives. Numbers of Armenians, reiving on the nromises of Turks to escort them to places of safety, were murdered in the streets. Fifty bodies havo been found, mostly of persons who were bayoneted; 550 persons were wounded anu one hundred are missing. A band of Arnnuts recentlv made & nicht attack upon the Montenegrin village of Kogmore, surprising the inhabitants, many of whom wore murdered. The Arnants plundered the village and then left. Afterward the band was attacked by Turkish troops, and in the fight which ensued sixty Arnauts were killed and many others wounaea. GENERAL, FOREIGN NEWS. British Politicians Surprised at the Turn Taken by the Heligoland Debate. London, July 25. Tho turn taken by the debate on the' Heligoland-Zanzibar agree ment in the House of Commons has pro duced a genuine sensation in political cir cles. Mr. Gladstone and Sir William liarcourt made it plain in last night's debate that the action of the government in seeking to ratify a cession of territory by act of Parliament was a pure innovation. There is absolutely no precedent for it. In America, where legislation and government policies aro 60 largely experimental, and where precedents are created every day and disregarded every day, the significance of the facts pointed out by Mr. Gladstone and Sir William Harcourt can hardly be appreciated. The Englishman has a high respect for precedent, and it must be on very weighty grounds, indeed, that he will assent to any overturning of established principles of government Hence Lord Salisbury's Conservative friends have a somewhat disagreeable role to perform in supporting his method of proceuare in this case. The effect of the introduction of the practice of submitting such matters to Parliament would be to rob tho crown of one of its most ancient and important f rivileges, and would practically give the louse of Lords control of the Foreign Ofiice. Polite Threat to Turkey. Constantinople July 25. M. Nelidoff, the Russian embassador to Turkey, has presented a note from Russia to the Porte declaring that the granting by Turkey of the concessions demanded by Bulgaria would humiliate the Czar. The Bulgarian demands, the note says, are manceuvers to strengthen the tottering throne of Princo Ferdinand and his illegal rule. Furthermore, the note says that Bulgaria is hostile to Russia, and that the Porte's condescension to that principality would be an unfriendly act toward Russia, and might lead to serious consequences. Tho attitude of Russia, as displayed by the note, seriously exercises the Porto. The Egypt's Boats Were Wortliless. London, July 25. The crew and the cattlemen from the National line steamer Egypt, which was abandoned on fire at sea while bound from New York to Liverpool, have arrived in London. The carpenter of the steamer says he believes that the cotton on the Egypt was on fire when she left New York. Ho also says that the boats of the steamer, with the exception of two, were worthless. Thoy had been in use for years on the steamers Erin, Holland and Spain successively before they were placed on the Egypt, and the names of the steamers had been painted out when they were transferred from one vessel to the other. .Mormons Mast Leave Switzerland. London, July 25. A dispatch from Geneva says that the Federal Council has about decided to expel the Mormons from tho republic. It has been urged to tako this course for some time past. Petitions in favor of the expulsion have been signed by tens of thousands of the working people who cannot tolerate the Mormon doctrine. In several instances the Mormon missionaries have been subjected to personal violence. The government, however, has hitherto been inactive, and as a result the number of persons professing Mormonism in Switzerland has increased five-fold in less than two years. Cable Notes.

MENENDEZ'S TB AGIO -DEATH How the Late President of San Salvador Was Betrayed by His Officers. lie Dies Suddenly of Apoplexy While Pnrsu-ing-a Body of Rebels Who Had Invaded the Palace in the Gaise of Musicians. ' New York, July 25. A picturesque account of the death of President Menendez, in the city of San Salvador, is published in the Courier Des Etas-Unis, from a letter written by one of its subscribers in Central America, who was an eye-witness of the terrible scene enacted on June 22. He describes it as follows: "The President, General Menendez. in order to celebrate the lif tu anniversary of his triumphal entrance in San Salvador, had invited the prominent families of tho city and its environs to a grand ball, which was to be followed by a banquet in' the presidential palace. . At 11 o'clock, when the dancing was at its height, there arrived in front of the palace tho musical band of Santa Ana, invited for the purpose of adding to the jubilation of the occasion, its members shouting 'Viva Menendez and playing the Boulanger march. The company forming the guard of honor allowed the band and escort accompanying it to penetrate into the inner square of the building, in the belief that it came to serenade the President Suddenly the musicians threw away their instruments, which they replaced with guns and weapons carried by the escort. Then, led by Gen. Blasio Marcial, they ascended the steps, reached the doors of the dancing hails, and summoned tho President nd the Ministers to surrender. 'General Menendez was at the moment somewhat indisposed, and reclining upqc a sofa in his apartments on the second floor. On hearing the shouts of the insurgents, who had changed their hurrahs of 'Viva Menendez' for those of 'Muera Menendez!' 'viva Ezeta!' the President appeared at a window, talked excitedly to the rebels, fired his revolver at them and appealed to the goard of honor to do its duty. A lively fusilade wasphen opened just on the level of the danoing hall, whence the guests conid see the Hashes from the guns. Tremendous confusion ensued mothers calling for their eons and daughters, husbands looking after their families, and the piteous cries of the wounded, and, above all, the stentorian voice of President Menendez, in a paroxysm of rage, calling for General Ezeta and defying him to personal combat. "Suddenly the fusillade stopped and a strange silence prevailed. Only two voices were heard that of the President, standing in the window and continuing his imprecations, and that of Blasio Marcial, standing on the steps, covered with blood, and with only a horse-whip in his hand, encouraging his soldiers and forbidding them to tire, while ho begged the ladies and the strangers to get out from the palace.assuringthem that there was no danger and offering to protect them with nis own body. The ladies, without their cloaks, their shoulders naked and their hair flying to tho wind, stepped down the few steps. Among them were the wife and daughters of the Minister of War, whom they embraced, when Marcial interfered. '"General exclaimed the Minister, my wife and daughters are dying with fright. Let me lead them away and I return immediately. I give jou my word of honor.' 'I accept it,' said Marcial, 'but. don't fail to return.' The minister did not come back. At this moment Colonel Martinez, commandant of the guard of honor, who bad not understood the meaning of the fusillade, and took it for a salute to the President, arrived on the portico and saw the soldiers of Marcial. 'Surrender,' said the latter; 'let us not shed useless blood. All the barracks are in our power;' and, in the hope of better persuading Martinez he took him in his arms. But meanwhile the President had come down from his apartments, and, seeing Martinez in the arms of Marcial, exclaimed: '"What! What? Even my body guard abandons me?'. "'Mo,' answered Martinez, 'I am come to die by your side.' "A struggle took place between the two chiefs, who roiled on the ground, and Marcial was killed. "Then, Menendez, with a sword in one hand and a revolver in tho other, surrounded also by a few friends, and ordering his guard to follow him, madly ran into the street in pursuit of the rebels. But he suddenly turned, himself around, his arms beating the' air, ;and fell under a sudden stroke of apoplexy. Ho was carried into the palace, and CoL Martinez slowly retreated toward the bar racks of the guard, whero he was soon subdued by tho greater numbers of the insurgents." TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. .

KN Hi ITT A JILLSON, 7&fc 77 S.Pennsylvaalant The Weekly Journal, 1 Per Annum ONCE QUEEN OF FASHION. Empress Eugenie Still One of the Most Graceful of Women. Madge," In London Truth. We went down, Saturday, to Tilbury to see Evelyn and Jim oil' on their cruise to the Norwegian fiords in the steam yacht Victoria. When we arrived at the Fen-church-street railway station we heard that the Empress Eugenie was to be one of tho Eassengers. Evelyn was enchanted. She as always entertained a romantic and enthusiastic devotion for the once beautifnl and now sorrow-stricken lady. Just as tho train was about to start the Empress arrived with several ladies and gentlemen in attendance. . Though by no means tall, and dressed in the simplest of black traveling costumes, tho Empress Eugenie is one of the most graceful and dignilied of women. The outlino of her shoulders is a beautiful one and the poiso of her head if fine, while the characteristic eyebrows are etill dark and well marked, though her hair is snowy white above them Apart from all national and political considerations, no one can refuse to this unhappy lady his truest 83'mpathy and the respect dne to her sorrows. When we arrived on board the Victoria we made a tour of inspection. The ladies' boudoir is a' pleasant place in the very center of the vessel, paneled in di lie rent colored marbles, and lighted by electricity like all tho rest of the yacht. There is a largo drawing-room as well, and a tine dining-room, closo to tho door of which is the Empress' cabin, which had been very prettily litted up for her with yellow liberty silk, and a plush curtain hung over tho door. "A 6uito of live persons accompanied her on tho cruise, and they were busy arranging rugs, packages, etc.. in the various cabins allotted to them. Tho Empress herself carried bngs and shawls into her own particular eanctum, tho whole party talking French, of course; but her Majesty spoke English when thanking tho manager for the arrangements that had so thoughtfully been made for her. Her foice is very low and gentle. Preliminary Skirmish Over the Fair Sit. Springfield, 111.. July 25. In the lower honse ot the Legislature to-day, a resolution was introduced by Mr. Paddock, of Kankakee, declaring it to be the hense of the House that the world's fair should be held upon one site. There was at once a storm of opposition to the resolution. Some members declared it to bo out of order, and also that it was not the province of the Legislature to say anything about the site that was & matter whiCyh belonged to the directors. The Speaker, however, ruled that the resolution was in order. An ineffectual attempt waa made to table the resolution, but it was iiually referred to tho joint committee. A resolution was then made to consider, and, after a long debate, it was earned, thus bringing the resolution before tho House again. The motion to table it was again made, but finally the resolution was made a special order for Tuesday next. . The Worst Kind of Stubbornness. Indianapolis Ram's Horn. Much has been said about the married man and his hair, the mother-in-law and the mule, but for down-right ten-ply stubbornness nothing gets the start of the man who claims to know it all. An Arrow That lilt. Indianapolis Ram's Horn. A tolemn minister was in the habit of talking to his little girl whenever she was guilty of any real or fancied ofleuse.
