Columbus, O., Feb. 22. The special train bearing the family, relatives and immediate friends of the late General Sherman left St. Louis on its return to New York at 8 o'clock last night. Just aa the train started out of the depot a telegram was thrown on board. It proved to bo a message to Rev. Father Thomas Sherman from the Comte De Paris, who it at Seville, Spai n, and was as follows: Receive the expressions of my warmest sympathy for the loss of your illustrious father. I thank God to have given me the opportunity to pay in his rrefence a fitting public tribute to his military genius. Comte De Pakis. The return party was the same as in the outward trip when they left St. Louis, with the exception of Secretary and Mrs. Noble, who went West. General Miles left the train at Effingham, one hundred miles east of fct. Louis, to go to Chicago. At Columbus ex-President Hajes and Generals Ewing and Corso bid tho party good-bye; also Judge Ewing, Col. lloyt Sherman and fam ily and Mr. Granger. At nttsoure fcecretarv urnnt, uenerai otuuucm secretary, Lieutenant Andrews, will leave and go to Washington. Secretary Rusk and Senator Sherman will get oil" at Philadelphia and go to Washington. The run from Sr. Louis was devoid of any nnuaual incident. All tho black drapings had been stripped from tho cars, and but few people who saw tho tram pass through the stations along the route recognized it as the one that only two days before was the object upon which the cj es of the public were centered. ALLEGED GREAT DISCOVERY. Alabaster Quarry cf Fabulous Value 8ald to Have Been Found in Colorado. "Denver, Col., Feb. 22. News has just reached this city of one of the most remarkable discoveries in America of the present year. The find is an alabaster quarry, the ledgo being of great thickness and extending for miles in the foot-hills near Canon City. A party of gentlemen who have visited the place say that blocks of any sizo that it is possible for tho ingenuity of man to handle can readily be quarried. The ipecimens shown vary from the perfect white to every posaiblotint of the rainbow. Some of it will stand a pressure of 10.000 pounds to the souaro inch, and it all takes on a. moat beautiful polish. A portion of it makes a most merchantable plaster of Pans, wbilo the brown variety can be used in hydraulio cement. Kuinor has it that a Dutch, New York and St. Louis syndicate have an option on the property for a sum which aounds like a fabulous price.

BELLE L01D, THE REBEL SPI. Her Children Sent to the Poor-House By a Hotel-Keeper Who Was to Care for Then. Saratoga, Feb. 22. "Hello Boyd, the Rebel Spy." went to lloosick Falls a short time ago to give an entertainment thero She was accompanied by her husband, Nat R. High, and three children, and they all went to tho Commercial House, where tho childreu were suffered to remain while tho father and mother gave performances in neighboring places. "Belle'' several times sent money to tho hotel proprietress for board for her children, but not enough to pay tho full board, and bo Mrs. Turner, proprieter of the hotel, entered complaint to ihe'poormaster eo as to put tho children unon the town, and a warrant was issued for the arrest of "Hello Boyd." She was arrested in Catskill and taken back to Hoosick Falls. On the trial it came out that the $10 a week which had been sent for the care of tho children bad been applied toward the payment of a board bill previously contracted and which was partly due, and that the children had been unjustly given to the charge of the poormaster. The justice decided that thero was no cause of action. "Belle Boyd" comes ol an excellent West Virginia family. She is forty-tivo years old. and is of striking appearance. As a girl she won a reputation as a horseback rider. She rode in men's clothes as often as in woman's dress. She was in sympathy with the iebellion, and gave frequent proof by dangerous service of her devotion to the South. When she learned of some federal movement which she thought would bo valuable for Stonowell Jackson to know, she rode by night in the midst of dangers and gave him the information. From that time she was attached to Jackson's brigade. She rode across the battle-held of Port Royal and carried disnatches to Jackson which sent him in pursuit of Gen. Hanks. Shebecamo the pet of tho confederate army Later, Jackson reccommended her to Jeff. Davis and he commissioned her to carry an important document to England. Shosailed from Wilmington on the steamer Greyhooud a one of the crew. The vessel was captured by the steamer Massachusetts, and she, with the crew, was taken to Boston and imprisoned. All the prisoners were court-martialed and shot except tho daring Belle Boyd. When her sex became known her sentenco was commuted to banishment through tho influence of Lieut. S. W. Harding, her captor. Belle went to London, and soou after Harding also went thero and mamed her. Harding died soon after. She returned to this country and married a Philadelphian. Then she went to Texas and there married again. This, her third husband, died in DotrioL Then she married, successively. Cole Younger, Sam Starr, and Jim Starr, the two Starrs being full-blooded Choctaw Indians. All those husbands, as well as herself, were handy with weapons. Several years ago she wounded and nearly killed a man whom she charged with having made improper advances to her daughter. Of late years "Belle has devoted her time to lecturing, at which she ha3 been moderately euccessful. Nat K. High, her seventh husband, is also her business manager. He declares that his wife, "Belie Boyd, the Rebel Spy," will sue Mistress Turner, proprietress of tho Commercial House, for damages. USE OP CARDS PROHIBITED. Ordinance Passed by Village Authorities That Knocks Out Progressive Euchre. Schoolcraft, Mich., Feb. 22. The town is shaken to its center over the act of tho board of village authorities, passed last week, when it was voted to prohibit the sale and nse of playing cards, and passing a town ordinance making it an offense punishable by a line of from $1 to $10. and imprisonment for not more than thirty days. The law was really aimed at the sinelo gambling place in the town, but was made so sweeping in its nature that it includes the progressive euchre parties as well as the professional gamblers. The best people in the town have just awoke to what it really means through the town officers serving notice on the etore-keepcrs that they must cease to sell playing cards. The young people are almost in a state of riot over what they call the nonsensical law, and the high-toned club men and keeper of the gambling-room are leased, as they think the new law will make itself so unpopular that it will bring about its own repeal. In the meantime the oilicers say they will arrest any one they catch engaged in card playing, and propose to tackle the card parties nrst. - o Palmer lias Not Given Up Hope. Springfield, I1L, Feb. 22. Representatives Moore and Tanbeneck, who addressed a meeting at Shelbyvillo yesterday, returned to this city to-day. The audience was composed of fanners, mostly, and when Moore asked bow many desired him to vote for Palmer about one-sixth of the 200 present raised their bands. Four wanted him to vote for a Bepublican, and the remainder signiiied their approval of tho courso so far taken by tho F. M. B. A. legislators. General Palmer, in an interview this afternoon, said he would contimie to receive otea from Democratic members for tome time to come, and that there is at present no indication of the near approach of time for u chango of candidates.

Views of Mr. Cheadlo on Sncjar Beets as a Profitable Crop for Farmers. How aud When the Rauk of Admiral Was Bestowed Held Only by Farragut and Porter Will Xot De Re Yi?ed Dntil Another War. TIIE COMING CAMPAIGN. What Should Be Doue to Secure Republican Success Quay's Poor Health. ped&l to the IxuUanapulls Journal. Washington. Feb. 22. There is a good deal of Republican politics being talked around the Capitol now. The text for the indulgences is the reorganization of tho Republican national committee. With ono accord the Republicans believe that the national committee should be immediately reorganized. It is conceded that there is somo very valnable material upon the committee, and that much of it should be retained; but thero is unanimity on the point that an actual head should be immediately selected. No ono questions the sagacity of Senator Quay. Great credit is given him upon every hand, even among his enemies, for having shrewdly managed the campaign of 1SS3; but his warmest supporters frankly say that he has not the time, the health nor disposition at this season to take an active part in the campaign of next year, ana that he should step aside. "There is only one way to bring about a reorganization of the national, committee," said a Western Republican Senator, to-day, "and that is for the Republican press of the country and the party workers themselves to speak out upon the subject. If thero should be a considerable demand for reorganisation it will be effected." There may appear to the worker in the ranks remotely locatod from Wash in at on evidences that ths Republican party is in the dumps on aceount of the failure to . pass the much-desired elections bill, and also the failure to secure certain other legislation which is needed and which the party promised two years ago. This is to a . ureal extent true; but it ia true also that the failure of tho party in Congress to secure the fulfillment of certain of its wishes' has imbued the Reoublicans in Congress with a determination which alone will in-, sure a splendid party organization for the campaign of 1S'J2. As Senator Aldrich so' well said to your correspondent recently, tho barter of Republican principles in the Senate in the interest of unlimited coinage has spurred up the Republicans throughout the country to a point which will greatly benefit the party next year, and they are more determined now than ever to win. , There is one point upon which every Republican in Congress is united. It is that the campaign noxt year is to be conducted upon intelligent lines. The Democrats swept the country last year upon platforms of misrepresentation. They lied about tho eilect of the McKinley tariff bill, and undoubtedly made thousands of votes in closo States by misrepresenting the aims and ettects of the tariff revision. The eilect of, the tariff law is being felt now, and it ia directly opposite to that which the Demo-, crats represented. President Harrison and Secretary Blaine have demonstrated tho practicability of opening markets for American products in foreign countries and the completion of important commercial treaties will be winning cards for the Republican ticket. The issues upon which the Republican party will light next year are; in many respects, new to the country anu more or less complicated. These facts are being pointed out as reserve and strong arguments in favor of education of the country through the press. It is conceded that thore will be more printed matter circulated in the next presidential campaign than in all of those which have taken place during the past twclvo years. It, therefore, devolves upon the national committee to get to work with its educational processes as early as possible. The fact has been pointed out that the great majority of leading newspapers of the country are in the control of tho Democrats. The enlargement of industrial pursuits in 1 almost every voting precinct of the conntry where it is possible to have manufact'. unng interests, makes it hot only possible, but easy, to etlect commercial club organizations of a political character, whichwill have a very strong influence in the cam-' paign. The Republicans in Congress talk ' about a general political caucus just before; they leavo for their homes, at which time it is suggested there should be a general discussion of party organization. p. s. ii. TIIE BEET-SUGAR INDUSTRY, YTliat Ia Thought or Nebraska's Proposal to Repeal tho State Bounty JLaw. Fptcial to the Ind.anapoli Journal. Washington. Feb. 22. Senator Paddock said, the other day, that if the Legislature of Nebraska did not repeal the little encouragement that the State has given to the beet-sugar industry the Northwest, within less than five years, would be able to supply tho entire country with beet sugar at one-half the price paid at present, and that tho farmers who produce sugarbeets would make at least twice as much money from their lands as they have ever been able to make from ordinary agricultural productions. Tho threat of the Nebraska Legislature to repeal the law giving a bounty of 1 cent per pound for beet sugar, and which induced the establishment of two beet-sugar factories in that State, has created great surprise here. There are Senators and Representatives from at least a dozen States which can produce rich sugar beets who openly declare that if Mr. Oxnard, the proprietor of Nebraska's beet-sugar factories, will remove his establishments to their States a legislative pledge will bo made that a bounty of 2 cents a pound shall be given for a period of not less than live years. They say there is nothing that has shown a longer progressive step in the interest of the farmer than the euzar-bcet industry. "The production of sugar beets and the manufacture of beet sugar." said Representative Cheadle. of Indiana, to-day. "dees not only mean cheaper sugar and the production of a valuable new article in this country.but it means the beginning of diversified interests for farmers.and will lead, in my judgment, to many other valuable discoveries in the interest of the farmer. Tho trouble has been all along with our farmers that they have not produced a sufficient variety to insure large and safe profits. We have been raisins: wheat and corn to such an extent that tho prices are constantly very low. except when there are crop failures. T he farmers of Germany and Prance make more money than our farmers do, for the reason that they have a greater variety of produce, and consequently a greater variety of incomes. They have so many crops in the ground every year that although they may fail in one or two or more crops they succeed in others, and thereforo make a splendid average. It is tho butter, and the chickens, and the truck from the gardens, and the pigs, etc.. that so to make up tho general income of the farmer, and not an enormona rml no tion of wheat and com. I am thinking of i of wheat and com. I am thinking of jg into the farming business myself ill I get out of Congress, iu a few days, if I do so I wont to raise sucar beets gomg Whel and and everything I caa produce in which

there is profit and pleasure. Ry. diverting thu attention of our fanners in the Northwest from the production of wheat and corn to the raising of sugar beets we not only give them better proiits. but we decrease the production of the old staple articles of the farm and, therefore, by lessening tho output of wheat and corn, give greater proritsaud better markets to the farmers in Indiana aud other Central States. I wish our farmers could understand that whenever we divert the interests of farmers in the West or Northwest r any other section of country from the old line of farming aud into new channels and other productions the interests of farmers in the Central States and the at and South are in a like degree promoted. Nebraska will see a very sorry day if she repeals the beet-sugar bounty law. for I consider the beet-sugar factories in that State the enterprise which Nebraska farmers should most covet." r. s. h. TOE RANK OP ADMIRAL.

A Title Held Only by Farragut and Torter Will Not Be Revived Until Another War. Special to tne Indian a po ha Journal. Washington Fob. 22. As the funeral cortege wound slowly on its way toward Arlington last Tuesday, bearing with it the body of the late Admiral of the navy, a far-off booming of cannon was heard down tho Potomac. Seventeen times in solemn succession the sound reverbated in all the grandeur of a nation's salute to one of its highest and most honored naval warriors. Then, as silence settled down upon the waters of the Potomac, a naval officer, in full dress uniform, standing on the bridge leading to Arlington, turned to a companion, and remarked: "That is in all human probability the last time we shall ever hear that salute. That sequence of soventeen guns, the honors paid an Admiral, will never be heard until the rank of Adral is revived, which will never be, unless this country becomes engaged in actual warfare, when necessity may cause the creation of tho office of Admiral again." The greater honor rested upon Admiral Porter, in that only two men ever bore the title. Farragut was the first Admiral in the American navy, Porter the second and last. On the 15th of November, 1776, Congress having a month previous established the rauk and command of the captain, resolved that "an admiral should rank as a general; a vice-admiral as a lieutenant-general, and a rear-admiral as a major-seceral, evidently looking to the addition of those ranks in the navy. No appointments were made to fill these positions, however, tho prejudice of tho people proventiug the establishment of such high-sounding titles,so that in 1SG2 there were no officers commissioned in the United States navy of higher rank that of captain, except in 1So3, when Charles Stewart was commissioned ''senior flag officer." Tho Continental navy really had , no need for general oilicers, the naval work being done mainly by individual privateertmen. In the war of 1812 the naval victories the United States achieved over the dolnineermg naval power of the world gave the navy some prominence; but nearly all these battles wtro in the form of duels between single vessels, and it was not until the civil war that vessels in fleetsplayed any part in American naval battles. The need for an oilicer to direct large numbers of vessels and able to command fleets and squadrons thou became apparent, and on the reorganization of the navy, July 16, 1802, the necessity for the grade of admiral became so apparent that an effort toward its establishment was made. Rear-admirals were appointed, eighteen in number, nine active and nine retired. Among the rear-admirals appointed by reason of this act were Farragut and Porter. All commissioned at that time are now dead. Farragut, on the 13th of August, the day after receiving his commission, hoisted tho flag at the main on board the Hartford, at New Orleans. It was the first admiral's flag hoisted in our navy. On the 21st of December the grade of vice-admiral was introduced in onr navy, and .iFarramit. the first to bear this title, then I hoisted bis blue flag, with its threo white stars at the fore. Later, in July, 18Grt. ho was mado full Admiral, and he then raised his flag again on the mainmast. Thus, in lS60i at the close of the war, by congressional:'-enactment, Farragut was honored by Ihb bestowal upon him of a title never before! in use in the American navy. Upon thenxomotion of Farragut to full Admiral, in )d606. Porter was made vice-admiral. When: Far raff at died, in 1870. he was mado Admiral, the second and last man to bear thef title. Stephen Rowan became vice-ad-'miralon the promotion of Porter, but his doath-several year? ago destroyed the possibility of a succession to the position mada.. vacant and abolished by Admiral PorteVa death. I1 ltitfhow somo years since Admiral Portenvw as last seen in full uniform of his rankjnow never to be seen again. The uniform rwas a simple and unostentatious one whencoinpared to the uniforms of Admirals In other countries. A body-coat with epaulets" was worn, adorned with three eleovo 'oruaments.consistiug of stripsof golden-embroidered white oak leaves on thef cull. A five-rayed gold star having a steam frigate raieed in the center was placed just above tho gold lace. The epaulets were of gold bnllion, tho shoulder straps bemir of blue cloth (With border of embroidered gold. The i epaulets bore upon them four silver stars, with?an anchor under each other star. A I full-dress sword belt of navy blue cloth withra gold cord about the edge and covered? with gold-embroidered white oak leaves was worn with a 'twenty-fouT inch t?Tord. Plain blue trousers and a cocked hat trimmed in old bullion was worn. Tho .Admiral's flag was a blue field with four rwhito stars, in a diamond, ihis liatr and ithemniform with its distinguishing features will probably never be seen again, ear as mementos of a rank lapsed into ideauetude. In contrast to the simple uniform noted above is the uniform worn by the Prince of Wales, as an admiral of the British navy. , It is, as befits the rank of admiral of the tieet.a very gorgeous ono. The full dress coat, which has a high collar edged with three-quarter inch gold lace, has cutis trimmed in one place with lace an inch and three-quarters, and in another place with lace one inch wide, while above each cult there are four rows of lace, each five-eighths of an inch broad. The skirts and flaps of the coat are also gorgeously embroidered. Tho weight of this uniform is about twelve pounds without the sword. P. S. Heath. m a FIGHTING FOR MILLIONS.

Man Lynched through a Misunderstanding cf iho Offense lie Was Charged With. Denver, Col., Feb. 22. The tnu'tler at Salida, Col., last night, which was followed by the lynching of Oliver Reilly to-day, takes on an entirely diflereut phase from that reported last night. The first report was that Reilly was stealing coal from the railroad chute, when conductor Sullivan ordered him away. Instead of obeying, Reilly shot and killed Sullivan, and was then lynched by the mob. The oilicial report, received hero to-night, is to the ciieet that Reilly was in charge of the chnto, and was attempting to drive one of Sullivan's men . away who was stealing the coal. Sullivan interfered, and after a war of words knocked Reilly down, who then pulled his pisotl and shot Sullivan. . The mob, not understanding the facts in tho case, attempted to take Reilly from the oilicers. Several hots were tired and four men were wounded, one of whom was Reilly. The prisoner was then dragged, half dead, to a railroad-crossing sign and hanged without giving him opportunity to say a word. A thorough investigation will be made and the perpetrators punished. Another dispatch says: Patrick Sullivan was shot by Oliver Riley at 7 o'clock last evening. At 8 o'clock Sullivan died. When the news of bis death was noised about a mob was organized and a rush mado on thejaiL The second attempt was successful. Riley was lilled with bullets by the crowd and then strung up at the, railroad' crossing. Sullivan was taking coal from the railroad company's chute, which was against orders. OYER ONE HUNDRED KILLED Kovia Scoria's Coal-M ine Disaster More Appalling than at First Eeported. Number cf Tictims Now Placed at 117 Larce Number of Boys Among the Unfortunates, Some Families Losing All Their Children. Sprixo Hill Mixes, N. 8., Feb. 22. Today the effect of yesterday's disaster is felt more acutely. Grief is depicted on every face. The work of recovering the bodies was pushed forward and tho searching parry entered tho mine at 11 o'clock last night. A number of bodies were taken up, and to-day the work has been going on steadily. The dead are hems brought nn more rapidly, and it is expected that most of the dead will be out of tho dead pits today, except those who are buried beneath the falls of roof. Tho total number of dead is now placed at 117. Two of those injured died last night. They were Willard Carter and Joshua McNeil. To several families the affliction is very great. Reid Carter and his two sons. Willard and Clarence, aro all dead. Threo sons of the Carmichael family are dead John, Andrew and William. Jesse Armishaw went down No. 2 slope yesterday and found his three sons. Jcsao and Herbert and John Rain bridge, an adopted son, all lying together. The sight sickened and unnerved him so that he had to return to the surface without them. He was frantic with grief. - Two . sons of Robert McVey. under fourteen, are laid cut side by side. Hugh Rnnt loses two boys, Andrew and Alexander. Theso sorrowful household are only a few of the large number from which tho breadwinners have been snatched. To-day one meets every where women and children weeping piteously. During the night people were astir and little knots of men eagerly discussed the situation. A special .train arrived from Westville and other mining centers in Pictou connty, with relatives of the dead and others. A steady stream of curious people has been pouring into the town from all quarters, and visitors are numerous. Some of the bodies taken out were fearfully mutilated. Those of the dead who were beyond recognition were identified by their clothes, or marks on their bodies. A carpenter-shop has been temporarily converted into a dead-house, to which all the corpses are taken, and then washed aud prepared for their coffins. It is a most gruesome sight. The shop is continually crowded with sorrowing relatives looking for their dead. Clergymen of different denominations are doing what they can for the griefstricken. The appalling enormity of the accident has stunned the people, and they are just beginning to realize the extent of the dreadful calamity. The injured aro progressing most favorably, and aro being tenderly cared for. When the explosion took place, doctors were telegraphed for to other places and appeared on the scene as soon as they could reach town by rail. Eleven miners were seriously injured. Others who were overcome by the damp were resuscitated and their names cannot bo ascertained. They are all right to-day. A boy named Carter, who was carried out severely injured, was struck by some flying missile, from tho effects of which injury he died at about midnight. Joshua. McNeil was also struck by something above the eye. He died this morning. With these exceptions the injured are doing well. The Bceno of the explosion was in the immediate vicinity of Nos. 6 and 7 balances, in the oast slope. There the greatest number of deaths occurred. This particular part of the mine was visit' i. by Deputy Inspector of Mines Madden on Friday forenoon. Madden's statement declares that he found in two places fire-damp registering from 1 to 1 15 per cent. Lived Ten Days In a Flooded Mine. Hazeltox, Pa., Feb. 22.

IT WAS A WISE APPOIHniBDT

Lively Times Expected This Week in the Lower Branch of Congress. Condition of Legislation Farewell Dinner to Senator Evarts Ne wupremo Court Rule Novel Ideas Uf Alliance Hen. TnrrEW SEC RET All Y. No Criticism of tbe Appointment Found In Any On,rt,r Foster Sllrer Views. Special to the InCimapolU Journal. Washington. Feb. 22. It is improbable that a Secretary of the Treasury was ever selected who gave such universal satisfaction as docs ex-Governor Charles Foster, bo far not a single voice has been raised against the selection, and not a syllable has been uttered in opposition by the press. Hero the ex-Governor is personally well known, having served three terms in Congress, and the local press pronounces the appointment as the beat that could have been made. In the Fast New York, Boston and Philadelphia not a line is found in the columns of tho Democratic netrsapers but that praises the man and emphasizes the wisdom of the appointment. Foster develops a wide range of popularity, while his record aa a businessman and Republican seems to install in tho business and political mind confidence. The Ohio Republicans regard it as a shrewd political move, and the business men throughout the country are wiring their congratulations. The Congressional Record has been closely read by the opposition to see if somewhere it cannot be found during the six years Foster was in Congress that he voted for inllation measures. It was asserted that ho stood with Bland and others in the fiat movement, but he is recorded in the negative of that uprising. Foster has always advocated a sound currency. The gold men attempted to show that he was a single standard man, and the free-coinage leaders thought they had one of their number, but the Record does not class him with either faction. It is believed that ho has for many years been in favor of an international union which would make coinage of Ailrer universally free, which President Harrison favors, but, with the President, he says the United States cannot at this time carry free coinage, for her treasures of gold would be pillaged by the world, and silver would bo worth only its bullion value, in whatever shape the government might give it. Ou the basis that froe coinage would, after all, make silver in the coin worth no more than the bullion value, it is thought Foster is in favor of free coinage for American silver and free coinage for foreign silver, with a reignioraco upon the latter which will cover into the Treasury of tho United States the difference between the par value of the coin and its bullion vallue, which is to-day about 25 per cent. This would, fitter all, amount to nothing mora than a stamp upon bullion which would make it currency for its bullion value. THE IT rEAlt CLEVELAND. Speakership Candidates Are Now Mlent on the Pree-Colnage Question. Special to the IzxUanapohs Journal. Washington, Feb. 22. Very little is being said nowadaj's by the candidates for the next speakership about free coinage, and, it may be added, their silence upon the subject is attracting attention. It is stated that it is a fear of Mr. Cleveland's influence that has closed their mouths and palsied their hands. It is now taken as a foregone conclusion that, barring unexpected incidents, Mr. Cleveland will be tho presidential nominee. He has committed himself against free coinage, and it is not to be expected that as the standard-bearer he would sufler a Democratic House to bo passing a free-coinage measure while he was running upon an anti-free-coinage platform. It is said that he will therefore be able to deliver the New York and New England delegations in the next House for a speakership candidate who will pledge himself to appoint a committee on coinage, weights and measures which will not report a treecoinage bill. . Hence the silence Just at this time upon tho coinage question by Messrs. Mills, Springer, Bvnnra, Crisp and other speakership candidates. They want tho Cleveland delegation, and must have them to win in the rnce, and they do not wish to commit themselves upon the coinage question at this time. The fact that an anti-free-coiuage Speaker will preside over the next House probably accounts for the extraordinary efforts which have recently been mado by Mr. Bland and his followers to pass a free-coinasro bill. WILL BE A UUSr WEEK. Congress Must Work if the Appropriation Dills re Passed UeTare the Session Clones. fpecUl to the IcAiftntpolls Journal. Washington, Feb. 22. Republican members say the House will likely not adjourn core than once or twice before it adjourns' finally on the 4th of March. It is the purposo of tho majority to keep the House in continuous session as much as possible, taking short recesses for rest, only adjourning now and then for a moment to keep the journal straight, as the Democrats have been killing so much time every day in fighting approval of the journaL The session from now till the day of adjournment is expected to be exciting and acrimonious in the House. Speaker Reed says the majority must rule, at all hazards. Only eight full Vworking days remain, and from now on till the 4th of March the proceedings in both branches of Congress will probably be marked by the haste that is usual in the closing days of a short session. The chief efi'ort in both houses will bo to secure complete action'on the appropriation bills, of which but two the army and the fortification have yet become laws. The status of the remaining appropriation bills is as follows: The naval bill awaits approval of the conference report by the I louse; the pension. District of Columbia and Military Academy bills are in conference: tho diplomatic and consular bill is awaiting an order for conference by tho House; the sundry civil bill has been reported by the ben.'ite committee and is on the Senate calendar; the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill and tho Indian appropriation bill are in the Senate committee, aud the postothce, agricultural nnd general deficiency bills await the action of the House, the til st named beiugnnnnished business in committee of the whole. PLENTY OF WORK ULEORE THE HOUSE. The House adjourned yesterday in very bad temper, and its mood on reassembling to-morrow will have considerable effect on the course of legislation during this week. There are a number of important matters which the majority earnestly desire to have passed upon by the IIou6e before final adjournment, and tho order in which they are brought up will largely depend on the situation as it is developed from day to day. The friends of the shipping bill have been assured of the report from the rules committee of a special order setting apart our
