THE NEWS IN BRIEF.

Moses Taylor, of New York, is dead. A big iron strike at Pittsburg, June 1, is probable. The Mexicans are driving the fugitive Indians back into Arizona. The arrears of rent bill passed second reading in the house of commons. The wholesale trade in New York is said to be unusually dull and unsatisfactory. Dr. Loring, commissioner of agriculture, is a candidate for governor of Massachusetts. Moscow merchants are much opposed to the expulsion of the Jews from that city. Governor Sherman, of lowa, declares himself in favor of the proposed prohibition amendment to the constitution. The $900,000 left by Mr. Lewis, of New York, to reduce the public debt, has been placed at the disposal of the government. No less than thirteen new seaside resorts are to bid for public support and patronage this year, and all have great expectations. The monuments and headstones in the Jewish cemetery at Columbia, S. C., were thrown down or demolished by unknown persons. Governors Cullom, of Illinois, and Rusk, of Wisconsin, have issued proclamations appointing Tuesday, May 30, as decoration day. A meeting will be held at Chicago this week which will advance rates to interior points, particularly to Pittsburg and other Pennsylvania cities. Bill Rivers, one of two negroes who was to be hanged at Memphis June 2, has had his sentence commuted by the governor to imprisonment for life. Robert A. Smith, who killed Charley Yost at Mt. Vernon, 111., was captured by a posse after being shot at several times and seriously wounded. Mr. Jay Gould’s conservatory at Irvington has been rebuilt. It is the largest on the Hudson, and contains the finest collection of plants and flowers. Harcourt stated in the house of commons that Michael Davitt is subject to the conditions of his ticket-of-leave, which will be enforced if he speaks contrary to law and order. Denmark, which has a population about 1,800,000, and a national debt of $28.000,0fc0, is going to spend $18,500,000—a good deal more than her yearly income—in forts and new ships of war. The supreme court of Indiano has rendered a decision that railroad ticket scalpers may sell special tickets, whether they are half fare, or excursion, or special in any other re* spect. At Syracuse, N. Y., the jury in the Holmes murder trial came in with a verdict of not guilty. An affecting scene followed the rendering of the verdict, which accords with the popular view.

Barns’ apportionment bill has passed the Nebraska senate. It divides Nebraska into three congressional districts. It is very pleasing to the southeastern counties, but displeases Lincoln and Omaha. John McGee shot and instantly killed his partner, Hiram Knapp, at St. Joseph, Mo. They quarreled about business matters, ana McGee getting drunk, ended the matter with his pistcl. He is in jail. The New York truckman who brutally assaulted Mr. Henry Bergh because the latter interfered to prevent the abuse of a norse, has been sentenced to pay a fine of $250 and spend a year in the penitentiary. At Mt. Vernon, 111., City Marshal R. A. Smith shot and killed Charles Yost, and then escaped on horseback. They quarreled over a personal matter, when Smith drew a revolver unexpectedly and fired two shots. The boiler of the passenger steamer American Eagle, exploded Thursday afternoon near Kelley’s Island, Lake Erie, wnile she was bound from Ban dusky to Put-in-Bay. Three of the crew were killed, the engineer fatally scalded, and five passengers severely. Chas. W. Fonda, the embezzling cashier, who stole several thousand dollas from the Constantine, Michnational bank, pleaded guilty at Grand Rapids ana was sentenced by the United States judge to five years imprisonment at the Detroit house of correction. An Indianapolis youth and his sweetheart grew tired of life and wished to die. They hired a buggy, drove to a suburb, and imbibed laudanum, but without avail. Then they purchased and ate another poison, with fatal results to the youth. The girl returned to Indianapolis and narrated the events. At Edwardsville, His., during a tightrope peiformance, one end of the rope attached to a chimney gave way and the performer and debris fell on the heads of the crowds below. Six boys were injured, two of them, Eddie Berger and Charles Webber, fatally, their skull* being fractured. The fight rope performs’’ was badly hurt but left town ths same day.

Elk Shooting In Norway.

’/The iKs to go* ouAwilfc John 1 pwtani&L Bn 10s. «trA pot ifwetgotWn ntliatday. Notwithstanding this itimulaut we hunted’a large strip of our own forest in vain, crossed over the river and drew the adjoining forest absolutely blank until a late lunch time. After lunch, starting in ahalf-hearted sort of way, and while still smoking, the dog soon began to show signs of being near game. Good little dog, what a treat it was to be out with him after the rollicking, loud-sounding Trugan! After looking at his dog John whispered to me, “Very near,” and pointed down the hill to the left. I crept forward, and in a few minutes saw two huge beasts quietly feeding in a small open patch about 120 yards off. My first impulse was to : take a snap shot at the first I saw, but as they did not dream of my existence I raised the rifle quietly and toox aim at the biggest. I suppose he saw the movement, for he turned and looked at me. Aiming strait at him I fired; the smoke blew back in my face,and when it cleared away both beasts were gone. Almost instantly after I saw two huge ones cross an open patch not far from me and I gave the biggest the benefit of mv other barrel. Calling out to John to come on with the dog, I ran to where I had last seen the elk to find out the result of my shots. John seemed in no hurry to come; the elk, I understand, are sometimes dangerous when wounded, but I should think very rarely. After following the trail for some time without seeing a trace of blood, we were satisfied neither of the two had deen touched. I could not believe that I had missed clean and clever a steady (shot at a beast as big as a horse, and so we retracedjour steps to where they had been standing when I fin’d the first shot. As soon as we got back to the place I pointed out to John where the one I aimed at had been, and on looking on the ground I saw a large drop of blood on a small dead stick. With a shout of triumph we started to follow up the tracks, and then found there had been three of the animals. They had turned down the hill at first, then two had wheeled round and passed up to where I had fired the second time, and so away into the forest. The third track |led down the hill, every few yards there being great splashes of blood, at sight of the firstof which John jerked out: “Dead, dead.” Yes, there, a few yards farther on, lay the mighty beast on his side, stone dead. The bullet had hit him full in the throat as he looked up at me and passed down into his lungs, killing him almost instantly. An enormous creature he was, big enough to provide the village with meat for nearly all winter. The first feeling of exultation at having at last been successful soon passed away, and it was almost with a feeling of sadness that we covered the mighty carcass over with heavy boughs, after having got him ready to be carried off on the morrow. On our way home we again came across the other two, a cow and a calf; they were apparently quite demoralized, and after getting nearly stuck in a bog, they stood and looked at us on the open moor, not more than 100 yards away. I suppose they were looking for their lord and father. If my second barrel, fired in the ex ciUment of the moment when I first saw them, had taken effect, I might have got into serious trouble for shooting two on the .same property, but there would have been no objection to my shooting either where they were now standing; but the sight of so much blood had sobered me, and I was content to watch the stupid clumsy beasts slowly cross the moor and dissapear. How such great uncouth beasts could have so long kept out of our sight seemed a perfect miraacle. At first sight they looked about the size and color of the buffalo cows one sees in Egypt.—Temple Bar. In 1764, a Scotchman named McAll, reversing his name, founded Almack’s, the London institution whose exclusive assemblies were the pride of the upper circles until 1840, when it shrunk and died away. During its career titled aristocrats were arbitrarily excluded, under certain circumstances, and its doors were shut in the face of the duke of Wellington when in the height of his fame, because some point of Almacky etiquette had not been complied with. For 40 years, England has had no Almack’s, but it is to be revived, and will open June 12, when Prince Leopold and his bride will be present. The London papers assure us that “the organization will constitute an inner circle of fashion within which only the purest bluest blood will be permitted to flow." This sounds well at the end of the record of the . expected presence of Prince Leopold, whose purest bluest blood is boiling over with the scrofulous taint inherited from a long line of kings.

CONGRESSIONAL.

f* Senate. -C B May 26. <rd reported from the finance committee several modifications of the measure recently reported by him as a substitute for the house bonded spirits bill. Sections 10 and 11 of the committee’s original substitute is wholly omitted from the new bill,being superfluous by the preceding amendment. Mr. Bayard will probably call it up early next week. HOUSE. Washington, May 26.—Mr. Calkins called up the contested election case of Mackey vs. Dibble, against which Mr. Blackburn raised the ques- * s on of consideration. fAfter further debate and colloquies, portions of which were lost in the confusion on the floor and in the continuous rapping of the speaker’s gavel, roll call followed roll call upon dilatory motions. HOUSE. Washington, May 27.—After throe or four dilatory motions, Mr. Calkins asked and obtained unanimous consent to submit a counter-proposition to that submitted by Mr Blackburn yesterday. It .proposes the house proceed with the consideration of the Mackey-Dibble case, and that after six hours’ discussion the house shall vote on - the question of recommittal by yea and nay vote, and if it be decided in the negative, the house shall continue to consider the case until it is finished without filibustering motions. Several roll calls followed on dilatory motions, which showed tho Republicans lacked two of a quorum. About 4 o’clock further proceedings under the call were dispensed with. Mr. Dunn introduced through the petition box a joint resolution appropriating SIOO,OOO to be expended by the secretary of war for the relief*of persons rendered destitute by the recent overflow of the Mississippi river and its tributaries. Referred. The joint resolution was accompanied by a letter addressed to Mr. Dunn by General Mangum, of Arkansas, under date of May 22, stating the present overflow is in many respects more disastrous than that in February and March last,and unless congress comes to the aid of the destitute persons in the overflowed sections starvation is imminent. Adjourned. SENATE. Washington, May[29.—The senate bill to reimburse the Creek Indian orphan fund was again considered and opposed with earnestness by Messrs. Cockrell and Sherman. Mr. McMillan also spoke in opposition. The bill went over without action. The Japanese 'indemnity (fund bill came up as the regular order. Mr. Hale gave notice of an amendment directing the payment to Japan to be made in legal coin directly b\ the United States through its minis ter to that country. Mr. Jones, of Florida, also gave no tice of a substitute, providing for payment through the minister resident at Japan of the principal only, namely, $785,000. Mr. VanWyck asserted that nobody doubted the existence of an organized lobby to secure the passage of the bill, and he believed the claim of Wyoming was supported by some combinetion. A long debate took place upon the amendment for allowing payment from the fund of claims for property destroyed by fire belonging to Colonel Fishere, United States consul at Japan. Mr. Saunders finally withdrew the amendment and the bill was laid aside without action. Adjourned. HOUSE. Washington, May 29.—-As soon as the reading of the journal was ended Mr. Reed called up for consideration the proposed amendment to the rules, prohibiting dilatory motions on contested election case«HOUSE. Washington, May 30.—The journal of yesterday having been read, Mr. Springer objected to its approval on the ground that it omitted all reference to two very important motions which he made, from the speaker’s refusal to entertain them. He had the official report on the subject read from the Congressional Record, and then moved to have the journal corrected so as to include these two motions, which were to lay on the table the report of the committe on rules and to recommit the report with instructions, together with the speaker’s refusal to entertain them, and his (Springer’s) appeals from such a refusal, and the speaker’s declining to entertain them. AJvote was’then taken on Mr. Atherton’s motion to take a recess till 10 o’clock to-morrow and resulted, yeas 93, nays 13. the Republicans all voting in the affirmative. Mr. McMillan, of Tennessee, raised the point of no quorum, whereupon Mr. Calkins withdrew the notice he had given that he would call the previous question at 5 to-morrow, and stated he would call it earlier. Be veralDemocrats(defiantly)—“ Call it now.” Mr. Reed, of Maine—" And if this matter pinches somewere it is not the fault of this side.” Mr. Randall—“We have passed the pinch.” Mr. Reed—“ You are still groaning under it.” The house then, on motion of Mr. Calkins, adjourned. SENATE. Washington, May 81. Several bills were reported, after which the discussion of the senate bill to reimburse the Creek orphans fund wa resumed, and occupied the remainder of the morning hour. The bill went over without action.

Mr. Garland, by unanimous conI aenfc calledAip the tffi&to gran|rto tiie I Mtejraippgl Albuquefiue apqjlntfeif-r The bttr beiffg W 6y Mr. Ingalls, it was laid aside. Mr. Bayard gave notice that Friday he would move the consideration of the bonded spirits bill., A sftmlar notice was given Uy Mr. Platt in behalf of the pension cases on the calendar. Mr. Allison announced that the appropriation committee would insist to-morrow on the army bill having precedence oyer all other business. A motion for executive session, by Mr. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, prevailed, yeas, 26; nays, 16, and when the doors were reopened the Japanese indemnity bill was taken ujj. Pending debate the senate Rd* joumed. HOUSE. Washington, May 81.—The house resumed consideration of the MackeyDibble contested election case, and Mr. Atherton, a member of the committee on elections, presented the views of the minority. An animated* discussion followed, at the close of which the resolution seating Mackey was adopted—yeas. 150; nays 81, and Mackey appeared at the bar of the house and was sworn in. Mr. McLain, of Maryland, then rose to a question of privilege and sent to the clerk’s ■ desk a resolution reciting t hat the house, in the exercise of the pewer expressly conferred upon it by the constitution has ordained and established a code of rules for the government of its proceedings and for the guidance of its presiding officer. Mr. Reed, of Maine, moved to lay the resolutions on the table. After an hour spent in exciting debate and turmoil, the yeas and nays were demanded, and the resolutions were laid on the table—-yeas, 144; nays 88. Mr. Ranney, of Massachusetts, from the committee on elections, then called up the Florida contested election case of Bisbee vs. Finley, and the question of consideration being raised by Mr. Randall, the house voted to consider it—yeas, 149; nays, 2 (Phelps and Hardenburg); and then that case being thus fairly launched, the house at 8:30 adjourned. SENATE. Washington, June I.—The bill passed authorizing the construction of a railroad bridge across Sault Bte Marie river, between Lake Superior and Lake Huron, with the purpose of connecting with Canadian railroads. Senate bill to reimburse the Indian creek orphan fund was then taken up, amended to require money to be paid into the treasury, and passed. Mr. Logan called up the army appropriation bill, and the committee amendments, as far as the compulsory retirement clause, were read ana agreed to. This clause makes the retiiement of an officer who has served forty years discretionary with himself, but obligatory as to one who is sixty-two years of age. Mr. Bayard said this rule must throw out of the army many men of glory and a pride to the service, who were to-day more fit than at almost any period of their lives for high and important commands. Further discussion ensued, participated in by Messrs. Butler, Morgan and Sherman, to the effect that the law provides that the offices general and lieutenant general shall cease upon a vacancy occurring .in either* and further that retired officers are assignable to duty only on foreign mission, as professors of colleges;or in the government of the soldier’s home. Mr. Maxey, of the military committee, and one of the two absentees from the meeting at which the clause was approved, opposed the proposition as one which ignored the mental and physical fitness of officers for duty. He gave notice of a motion to strike the clause out of the bill. Without action the senate went into executive session. Adjourned. HOUSE. Washington, June I.—Mr. Kelly asked the unanimous consent of the house to Submit a report from the committee on ways and means. Mr. Randall interposed and objected. Mr. Ranney, stated that |he would demand the previous question at 5 o’clock this afternoon. Mr. Beltzhoover, of Pennsylvania, spoke for two hours in advocacy of the claims of the sitting member, and was followed by Mr. Jones, of Texas, upon the same side. At the conclusion of Mr. Jones’ speech the previous question was ordered without division. After a brief speech by Mr. McMillan, of Tennessee, in opposition to the report of the majority. Mr. Bisbee took the floor in his own behalf, but before concluding 5 o’clock arrived, and the bouse took a recess. After recess Mr. Bisbee concluded his speech, and a resolution declaring him emitted to his seat was adopted —yeas, 141; nays, 9. On motion of Mr. Frost.of Missouri, June 10 was designated as the day when eulogies will be delivered in honor of Thomas Allen, of Missouri. Mr. Hazelton, of Wisconsin, called up the contested election case of Lowe vs Wheeler from the eighth district of Alabama. After an extended discussion, Mr. Reed moved to adjourn, and the speaker put the question, notwithstanding Mr. Cox’s efforts to be heard. “Well,” said Mr. Cox, “that is what I call brute force; mere brute force.” “It is not,” replied the speaker, and the house then adjourned. Mr. Benjamin Fitch, of New York City, ha* authorized the expenditure of SIO,OOO to $15,000 additional for improvements in the building for charitable purposes, which he is to present to the city of Buffalo.
