Speculation on Adjournment f Congress. Special to the Sentinel: "Wasuixgtos, May 17. Tbe business of the House Committee ou Appropriations i3 now, as it nearly always has been at this period of the season, the key to thu adjournment of Congress. In Other words, adjournment depends. in an almost absolute degree, upon

fthe disposition of business before tins Committee. Your correiondeiit learned that there are yet before the Committee the pen

sion appropriation bill, deficiency, sundry civil, legislative and judicial and the naval bills. The first four have been passed upon and are ready t j report Vj the House, while nothing has been done with the latter bill. When these bills will be reported to the House depends altogether on how much vporfc the Republican party wants to do before adjournment. There will likely be no delay about the passage of these five lills, excepting the legislative and judicial, upon which there is always a considerable discussion. There have been passed npon by this Committee, reported to

Uhe IIoue, and sgain to the Senate, the "river and barber, consular and diplomatic-

military academy, postotlice, war, fortification, District of Columbia, agricultural and fue Indian appropriation bills. These 'have all passed the Senate, excepting the army and District of Columbia. There is nothing of any importance upon the calendar of the Senate. That body is simply passing time on House work of ioconsequental importance, and when these appropriation bills, which have not yet emerged from the House Appropriation Committee, pass the Home, the Senate will rush them through in a hurry, and then adjournment on both branches is imminent. It is generally believed that the Elections Committee of the House will occupy most of the time before adjournment. The time to be consumed by the election contest cases is variously estimated at from two to three week?, there being four or five contests to dispose of.. Considerable time, of course, will be consumed by work that will be dove-tailed in between Iheäe more important issues, aud the outlook now is, as has been anticipated in these dispatches, that an adjournment will be reached about July 1. The appropriation bills, which have not been reported, will be forwarded to the House and passed upon at periods varying seveiai days apart, so as not' to tax the r.erves of the House to too great an extent The naval bill, the onlv one remaining unacted upon, will be ready for the lyouse in a few days, but a month will Jnoit lifcely elapse before the last one is reported. The. Senate and the YhiHy Bond Kill. A reiort baa been made by the Senate finance Committee on the bill extending or abolishing the time in which whisky may remain tn bond, etc., known as the whisky bond bill, which bas caused so much suspi cion of fraud and inaugurated an investigajn. The report bimply eilenda the period a which iiiky may rcnwi; in bond from three to five years, as anticipated by the Sen tinel last week, but requires the owner of he whisky to pay interest on the tax for the last two year. Tbe Government, by this amendment, loans the owner of the liquor the money for tbe tax for two years, and permits .him to keep Iiis coods in the bonded warehouse two years longer. The present law allows seven and a half gallons leakage during the ti rue the liquor remains in bond. Tbe bill as it passed the House provides that the whisky shall be gauged when withdrawn for sale, and there by allows actual "shrinkage'' or leakage. It is very probable that the Senate will amend the bill and pass it to allow eleven gallons of leakage to tbe barrel. These amendments, although far short of the original bill, will help to form a law that will be considerably better for the distillers and whisky dealers than the present law. The Outcome of the Contests. "WasAisctok, May 22. The. filibustering in the House so far this session has been of the most tame kind compared to that re sorted to in standing off the Mackey vs. Dibble contest case. All of the extreme points that shrewd tacticians can conceive cf were brought into use. ilr. Randall's sfull powers were shown to good advantage, vhe Democrats won a temporary victory. The outcome of all these election contests and the fights over them will be about three -victories fur the Republicans over those for the Democrats. The Republicans having a working majority in the House, they can carry party measures, and a favorable report from the Elections Committee means an anti-Democratic success. . These election contests (which are among e most interestinz and important of Con gressional proceedings) will likely occupy two weeks' time. Technicalities in election returns make up the merits cf the current" case, MacfceyO'Connor. The final returns show O'Connor to be elected, but the Committee's report stipulates that Mackey received a majority of the votes cast, and t.iat the ordinal returns show that the votes thrown out, to give O'Connor a majority, were not thrown out lawfully. O'Connor died during the pendency of the case, and a new election gave the seat to Dibble, Democrat. The Committee holds that "tasmuch as the investigation shows that lackey was elected against O'Connor, there was no vacancy at the time O'Connor died. and hence Mackey is entitle 1 tothe seat, llonxe sod Senate Work. Both bides of the House have been wondering at the tenacity with which they hang on for party's sake. The present session has been frought with very arduous work for the members bf the House. Generally members of the House have much more work to do than Senators. This rule has been exceptlonably true with the Forty-seventh Congress. There have been no holidays to speak of, 1 u . : I V ...... iuu uianjr ujgufc erosions uiio trci uciu. ( The Senate averages about five day' aii-

sions a week, and no night work. The Home adjourns from 5 to o'clock p. m., and the Senate from 3:3) to 4:-30. In the Honse there is an immense amount of work to do. Party pride and personal interests prevent either side asking for holidays. Considering the work done so far, and the condition of the calendar, the present Horjseof Representatives has been "worked for all it's wortn," and well worked The Shlpheitt Investigation. Although practically terminated, it will be some time before a report is rendered by the Foreign Affairs Committee in the Slip-

herd investigation. It may be made early in the second session of this Congress, and it may not be reported to the House in time f ir the present House to act upon It. The report will be voluminous, and the decision will be lengthy, but the people of the country will make up their minds with the brif thought, tersely put, "somebody has lied." The investigation will point a moral, but will result in no di rect good unless it is determined. las has been intimated, thathhiphcrd should be taken in for perjury. I3IPRISOiEl A5IKUICAN8. Additional Correspondence Relating to the Suspect Imprisoned in Ireland. Washington, May 22. The correspond ence relating to the suspects imprisoned in Ireland was sent to the House to day. It is Very voluminous and pretty much antici pated by the previous fragmentary publica tions. Minister l-owell writes May 3, '"1 had an interview bv appointment witu forster Friday, the 21t of April. I assented he should try the experiment of offering a releass to all the so-called American suspects on the condition of their going back within a reasonable time to the country they claim to have adopted, bu I distinctly informed him I was not authorized by my Govern ment to accept anything less than uncondi tional liberation on my ptrt. I promised to have the prisoners informed n my own responsibility aloue, that in case they shall be released, XiO should be at the disposal of each to pav his p..ss.ge across the Atlantic. I accordingly instructed Harrows and Wood, Consuls respectively at Dublin and Belfast, and Tinley, Consular Agent at Limerick, to visit the prisoners and make known the offer. Two of them, McInery and Slattery, were allowed three days to consider whether they would accept or not. The others, O Mahoney and . McSweeny, refused to be liberated on any terms whatever. Whose advice or orders they were acting under is a matter of very probable conjectu-e. "Meanwhile it is nearly certain that all the suspect3, except those charged with violence, will be very shortly set at liberty, thus rendering nugatory the most effective argument in favor of disorder and resistance to law. "It seems that in the cases of most if not all the American suspects in Ireland continuous residence there has exceeded two years, and in some cases it has greatly exceeded it. In the case of McCormick it has apparently extended to thirteen years." MUST IIAXG. The Court In Itanc Sustains the Decision In the Guiteau Cse The Assassin Hope IUI. Washington, May 22 Justice James this morning announced the ticcisou of the Court in I'.anc npon the exceptions in the Uniteau case, denying a. new trial, and athrruing the judgment below. Justice Hayner, in a separate opinion, discussed the bearing of the eld Maryland law, and held that, even under the Maryland act of 1375, the indictment would have been good in this District. Juiie Carter stated that the opinions given were the unanimous opinions of the Court After the adverse decision to-day. Counsel Reed visited Guiteau, who teems, ileedsays. to have perfect faith he is coming out all right in the end. Reed will visit the Jail with a notary to-morrow morninj? and obtain Guiteau's signature, to the affidavit, which will be used in the next step in the case. The Late Minister Harlbnt. Washington, May 19. The Peruvian Minister called upon the President to-day aud presented an autograph letter from President Montero, expressing the grief of the Government and people of Peru at the death of Minister Hurlbutand sincere sympathy with the Government and people of the Ünited States. The letter refers to the late Minister as "the truest aud noblest champion of Peru's cause, which is the cause of right and justice." President Arthur expressed gratification that the country in which General Hurlbut Ierformed his last work had been pleased to commend him o graciously, and he assured Minister Elmore of his appreciation of the action and promised a reply should be sent at au early day to President Montero. The presentation of the letter by a noticable coincidence took place on the anniversary of General Hurlbut s confirmation. Klghts of an Insane Wife. Washington, May 19. Mr. De Bildt, Secretary of the Swedish Legation in this city, is a tall, broad-shouldered, fine-looking young man, with brown mustache, straight nose, black eyes, and ruddy complexion, and an erect, stalwart figure. He has been prominent here way, and is seen day in the outskirts in a social nearly every of tbe Capital either riding a fine horse or driving a fine team, sometimes tandem to a dog-cart, and then again in the ordinary fashion to an En glish road wagon. Like a great many foreigners sasined lto diplomatic life in this country, he came here fur the purpose of niarryirr' a fortune. He nucceeded. In 1879 be - married the daughter of a prominent Philadelphia merchant. 1 he lady, however, besides inhentingaiar.ee fortune, had also a very careful disposition, and, instead of leaving her property subject to the disposal of her huband. she invested the bulk of it in United States 4 per cent, registered bonds in her own name, lue Ue i;ldti lived very handsomely for the next two or three years, and were well known here in Washington, a they were prominent at nearly every ocial gathering. lhe marriage, like many others of American girls with foreigners, did not, for some reason or other, appear to be a very happy one. In 1S31 Mrs. lis Uildt became insane, and, after being declared un able to transact business, was placed in a private avluru at the request of her hus band. S'nce then Mr. De Bildt has been trying to get possession of her property, which is at present invested as above mentioned. Since her Incarceration as an insane person she has, of course, been unable to Indorse or collect the checks issued in her 'name for the payment of the interest upon the Government bonds. Mr. De Bildt has claimed that tie is entitled to the ownership, and hai nsked that the bonds be transferred t his name. The matter has raised

now question at tbe Treasury Depart

ment, and was referred to Judge Lawrence, the first Comptroller of the Treasury, an abie and conscientious lawyer, who decided to-day that when, after marriage, bonds are bought with the wife's money and are registered in her name, umf er the laws of the District of Columbia the husbnnd can in no wiy cuntrol the bonds. A guardian or Committee must be appointed to collect and receive the interest in the case the wife is insane The Tanff Commission. Washington, May 19. The Cabinet discussed the tariff commission to-day, and an understanding was reached that the leading interests of the country should be represented upon the Committee by the best men obtainable. It is stated upon the authority of a Cabinet othcer that not a single member of the Commission has yet been decided upon. The question will be again considered at a meeting Tuesday next. The indications are the Commission will be nominated next week. .Washington Note. WAsniNGTO.x, May 22. The General has sent a letter to Postmaster the House recommending postage on seond class matter (papers and magazines,) be abolished. He stales fourth-class matter (merchandise) is carried at a loss to the Government, and if the Government is being taxed for the transportation of either-class it should be for second-class. The statement that the Treasury Department oilcred a reward of $13.0) for information about the stolen $1,000 bond plate is untrue. The suspension of the sentence of Doyle and Ernest Urockaway and Smith is regarded as inteuded to secure that information. Secretary Foleer has received a conscience contribution of i'2,7l in an envelope, postniaiked St. Joseph, Mo. A BUNGLINO JOU. A Colored Murderer Strangled to Death In New York .- Sickenins Sight. New YoRK,iMay 19. Augustus I). Leighton, colored, was hanged at 8:t7 this morning for the murder of his mistress, Mary Dean.

On reaching the gallows he turned and faced the spectators. The executioner adjusted the noose and drew the black cap over his face, the bignal was given, the rope cut, and the bouy ot the condemned man bounded in the air and fell back within three feet of the pavement The noose failed to slip under the ear and ciught under the chin. Then commenced a sickening strug gle, which showed Leightou was strangling to death. The lingers clutched convulsively, the legi we e drawn up and the fictims agonize t heavy breathing was awful to hear.

The wound is not necessarily fatal as no large artery was cut, but death is likely to ensue from inilawmation of the lungs, produced by breathin? cold air through a great cash in the windpipu.

HUSH AFFAIRS.

The ParnII-Glaston lr gramme Complete The Repression And Arrears It 111 The Ministerial C7ll. Eöston, May 21. A-cable to the Herald from London says: 1 am enabled to give yoa exclusive information that the Parnell Gladsone Programme, regarding the new Irish measures i3 compete. The Land League msaibers hare been informed the progress c the repression of crime bill will determine the action ot the Government regarding the arrears act. If they obstruct the firat the Government will delay t'-e second. . Gladstone's anxiety to get the crime bill through in some form is explained by hi3 vast loss of ministerial popularity with the masses since the Dublin murder and the hope of recovery by this method. Thence the great conces sion to rarntil s followers to induce them to avoid any obstruction that would surely destroy Gladstone's Government When the crime bill comes up Tuesday in the IIou5e of Gommons imiiortant amendments will be ollered and accepted. One relative to ihe ptoposed embargo on Irish rewspaier3 will provide, when adopted, that suppression shall ouly refer to American journals of the Ilcssa description. This will remove heavy restrictions from the local Irish press. Another amendment will reduce the term of the operation of the law from three years to two. Another will mulre less arbitrary the power of arrest ing jersons merely suspected of belonging to secret societies.. The fourtn mcdihes the powers of local Magistrates and jirovides opxmumiy oi appeal to a higher Court of persons held by their authority. The Land league members are led to understand that he Libera- will accept these amendments on condition that their opposition shall not be of protracted order which :sually characterizes Irish debate. The Irish members will likewise ntroduce other amendments as a matter of of course, but they will be rejected. Their work wilt have the aptarance of the nsual force, but w ill be superficial. The Land Leaguers will take advantage of the Uadstone weakness in Parliament to orce the isage of t'e arrears bill and at the same time advance certain reduction in coercive measures. Their opin ion is a dessolution will speedily follow the adoption of the new coercion act, and they hope, if the Government splits on the result of this measure, to seen e its repeal. The members of the Liberal partv tell your correspondent the greatest dissatisfaction as to the new policy exists among the Radicals and Tories. They faid last night Gladstone must speedily choose between those wings of the party, 'fhevdeline longer to be kept harne.ssed together. Nobody has faith in Gladstone's power now. Förster adheres to his belief in stronz Government. He fays measures must, however, be distinct and uncompromising. He denounced with some bitterness the bargain with Parnell. lie did not believe Ireana would receive any measure conciliatory or otherwise, except in spirit. The people there regard friendly overtures as an cc knowleduement of weakness to be taken ad vantage of. Not while this exists can Ireland be safely governed by half measures, and it is unsafe for (he Government to undertake it. The Liberal party has grave fears as to the result of the present policy. A ministerial crisis is far from the past. Healy didn't care where the Government went, after the passajre of the arrears bill, lie thought a dissolution extremely likely on account of tbe new coercion policy. The Irish party would certainly assist that end as tar as possible. It wax willing to help the .liberals pass tne Land League bill, but win work against them with redoubled energy when the bill becomes a law. and co to anv extreme to help the poor Irish farmer. Mcwrtby says tbe League wwnimgto attain its end by any means, and will belp tne iicerals while the liberals help Ireland. ll la more impuriaiu. to pass me arrears uin nan mmicr me prceiiiiuii ui uic uiuic bill, which the Irish members could not hope to do more than check for a few weeks. 1 he correspondent says: "I understand Parnell went to Paris agaSa yesterday morning to consult with Davitt and Jv;an and is not expected back before Mon day. Othei members' of the League, mo mentarily estranged from him until the dis covery of the letier to O'Shea, on which tbe Government bamaia was based, have be come reconciled and will work with 'him hereafter. Undoubtedly the most critical time in connection with the Ministerial crisis hai been the past week. We have at this time the curious spectacle of the mos conservative Government in the world steeped in political bargains bf the most ex traordinary ruaraeter. . London. May 21. The appointment of Colonel Brackenbury as Insiector General of the Irish constabulary has been can celled and Colonel Bruce appointed. Ihe leaders of the Ieasjue oppose Parnell s contemplated resignation of his seat, though he has strongly urged his desire to residdon the Continent for some time. Ihe Govern ment intends to permit the coercion act to lapse from the passing of the repression bill. The lubliw Anaa Aninatlon. NkV Yokk, May 10. The Times says: "What are we aoing iu the Phanii Park cases. Why, we re tioing better than those who have filled the papers with balderdash for several days lately," said Inspector Byrnes yesterday, we are in an intelligent post tion in regard to it, and I don t mind telling that we have what we call a good end of it. that is to say, we have been and are work ing on'a tiace that promises much. We are not going to announce what we are doing or what we do; but when we have accom plished what is to be done th public will know of it. and not before. The Herald adds the following to Inspector Ilvrnes interview: "'Wholesale arrests in England and Irelaud are a serious mistake. and have done a great deal to spoil th ease. A strange kind of detecti v service : first ar resting a man and search ie for evidence afterward. It would appear that they were working in the dark, and very badJv, too. The English Consul, if he has any infar mation about the tragedy, has kept it to him self. What informatioa we hav has been gleaned from other sources. When the news that the deed bad been committed reached this city a nrjler of men met in a hall up town, on the. West Bide. They were all Fenians, and desperate ones too. feince then they have bee active, and probably erelong we wi;l hear of anomerstartlmg ex cution. Thev mean business, and intend to carry on their desperate and mysterious warfare. With them the ends -justify the means. Thy re silent workers, and all determined men. Thev have all been shad owed, but. as tbey are shrewd fellows, but little progress can be made. However, we are doins rmr beat and awaiting develop nienta. II the Dublin police have any better descriptions of ihe men suspected than those published, it Is strange that they don't forward them to this city. or. if they are in possession of the British Consul, it is odd that he does not send us a copy of them for out guidance." . Davitt o the Situation. Losdok, May 21. Micha ;l Davitt, addresstn rrooHn-rnf Irishmen at Manchester, said noiody lamented tin recent murders

more than he, and nobody was readier prevent Buch crimes in the future. He declared thsrt withont the presence of the yolice and military tbe property! Irish landlords would not be worth a rronth's purchase. There coal: be no alliance between Irishmen and Kailish Whigs ntil landlordism was completely abolished. The Go7ernment could. not jrraj.ple ellectunlly with a secret movement, wheji it was made to ap?ear that auch a movement was only 5fr the jrrotection of a wronged people". If Gladstone was earnest in his efforts to suppress crime he must go to Ve source of ail

agrarian outrages and remove landlordism, sweep away Dublrn Castle, ami show that be ould rspose the same confidence in Ireland as in Caaada. FOREIGN SEWS. Ten Arrests on i Steaner.

Iiobinson, ged hfty-four, and his wife, Sarah, aged tifty-one, separated last September, and the Wife procured a divorce on the ground of xtreme crueltv. ICobinson worked at nis rade as a carpenter for several months in his city, then went awavand found employ ment on a farm four miles from Ilttsburg until Friday, when he left for Cleveland, arriving yesterday morntne. He started at once lor bis eldest eon s home in lirooklvn o see his ex-wife, purchasing a twenty-two caliber revolver on the way. and he found Mrs. 1-obi nson alone at her son's house. lieiDg afraid of him she persuaded a neigh bor lady to remain with her (luring the day. Che eon was much surprised on returning home to find his father, and after supper made a rretence 01 wishing; his mother to go to town to make some purchases, intend ing to nave her get away from bis father.

He savs he came back for a reconciliation and bouerht the-pistol to kill himself if unsuc cessful : that Mrs. Robinson cave him en couragtinenL but the son treated him coldly, and when he saw the small hope of a reunited family he deliberately attempted to kill the woman, and would have shot himself but for the son's interference. The prisoner says bis own jealousy of his wife was the cause of family trouble, which began some years ai;o and steadily increased, tone liked fociety; he did not. She was the object of attention wherever she went, which annoyed him. A Youthful Forger. DcBCorit, May 19.

VEXXOK'S PKK1UCIIONS. Tne General Outlaak Ira proving. - rFrom Advanced rrocf of June Bulletin. The general outlook for the weather of the ßunmerseasonin southern and southwestern sections, is improving:, owing to the continuance of very windy weather in northern and weste sectkms of Canada and the United States. But a "windy spring makes a severe autumn," therefore the outlook for the autumn oi 1SS2 is increasing in pe verity. My llißory of "weather relationship" is working just now In a telling manner all over the Northern Hemisphere, and i feel much greater confidence in predicting the periods of ihe more suark'.d disturbances. . Hence, I herewith reiterate my previous statements respecting a very cold and stormy autumn' and early setting in cf extreme Severity, with heavy snow-falls, this reaching to remote southerly points. We are likely to experience one of the coldest periods in a long term of years during the early part of the winter of 1882-83: but tbe cold will come in a lump, and the latter half tbe winter is likely to be mild and open, with an advanced spring.
