Marie Ace’dent Furnishes an Opportunity to Discuss House Methr- | TaE first week in August opened . the Senate with cighteen pages of the taritt Lill disposed of out of 180, or 10 per cent. of the whole. Ten days have been consumed in accomplishing that much. At the same ratio it will take a hundred days in all to dispose of the bill. Mr. Davis offered a resolution in the Senate on the 4th calling on the Secretary of War for information respecting the accident to the lock in the Saunlt. Ste. Marie Canal. Mr. Davis sald this was a serious calamity to the great commerce of the lakes, inflicting damage to the commerce between the upper and lower lakes of perhaps half a million a day. Incidentally he referred to the failure of the House to act on the bill passed by the Sonate several months ago, providing for a second and larger loek. Mr. Cockrell expressed surprise that the “business branch” of Congress paid no attention t 0 the matter. The presiding officer (Mr. Ingulls) said thav he had observed with regret the growing tendency to allude in terms of severity and disparagement to the proceedings of the other house of Congress. It was a violation of the fundamental principles of pariiamentary law to refer in one house to what was done or said in the other. The House went into committee of the whole, Mr. Payson, of Illinois, in the chair, on the general deficiency appropriation bill. Mr. Henderson, of Towa. explained that the bill carried an appropriation of 85.140,000. The items of deticiency submitted to the Committee on Appropriations aggregated $13,500,000.

Ox Lorimer street. one of the principal thoroughfares of Denver, a terrible explosion occurred, resulting in the death of Joab O. Bosworth, President of the Denver Fire Clay Company, and exPresident of the Manufacturers’ Exchange. It totally wrecked the large establishment of the compauy. besides destroying the fine chemical laboratory of Von Schultz & Low, occupying the second floor. The explosion was caused by deadly chemicals in the hands of Mr. Bosworth, the exact nature of which will probably never be discuvered. Rich Harvest for Lawyers. A LIVELY street-car war is in progress at Springfield, 111. The old company has a blanket charter giving it the right to lay tracks in any street in the city. The Citizens’ Company recently sceured permission to extend its lines througl cer- i tain streets, but before the tracks could | be laid the old company took possession | of these stroets and laid enough track to block its rival’'s plans. The Citizens' officers attempted to tear up the new tracks, but were prevented by the police, and now the local lawyers are expecting a rich harvest. Rates on Food Produets. THERE was an fmportant omission in the publication of the food-product rates as reduced by the Interstate Commerce Commission last week.

I Their Unhappy Life in Russia—Tortured, i Plundered, and Otherwise Maltreated. | London tedegram: Letters from Most cow and St. Petersburg say that the ‘ laws against the Hebrews are being enforced with renewed severity. A large ' number of Jews who lived near the German and Austrian frontiers have been compelled to move further within the Russian territory. the pretext being that many of them are engaged in smuggling; and Jews residing in the country have been obliged to leave their homes and settle in villages. The peasantry plunder the Jews at will, and in one village, near Kertch, a Jew was put under torture to compel [ him to surrender his money and other | valuables. The robbers pulled out two | of his toe-nails before he would reveal | the hiding-place of his treasure. No l steps have been taken to punish the miscreants guilty of this and other ontrages, and all appeals to the police are in vain, ’ ¥rom I'ar and Near.

This led to a sharp discussion™ about printing such documents in the ree= = ord, and some warm words passed between - Mr. Gorman and Mr. Sherman. The former insisted upon having the lettm‘re&fifi Sherman objected to the further reads ing of the letler. Mr. Gorman rest marked that if the Senator for Ohio had been in the chamber in time under his own resolution the document could have been read und the public busis ness facilitated. Mr Sherman resented the - cuphasizing of the fact that he had come: into the chamber fifteen minutes after the hour fixed. for meeting. He had been en= guged during these fifteen minutes in pub= lic business, which he considered of more . fmportance than listening to the reading of the journal. Mr. Gorman, with some warmth, resented the insinuation that because he wanted it read he was delaying public bus ress. The Senate decided that the doeumeunt should not be read. The presiding ofiicer then said the letter would g printed as a miscellaneous document.g‘hgg conference report ou the District of Columbia appropriation bill was agreed to and then the tariff bill was taken up. In the House, Mr. Oates, of Alabama. as aquestion of privilege, offered a resolution for the investigation of the charges of conuption»‘m}?%i connection with the passage of the silvgi?’i bill, against members of the House, coix%‘i@ tained in a recent editorial of the NM%‘ Economist. The Speaker decided the motion was not a privileged one. Mr. Oates ap=pealed from the decision, which, how‘ev'eg;‘?;g was sustained by a vote of 95 to Tl.- Tké’rfi House then went into the committee of the whole on the Senate amendments to thesundry eivil appropriation bill and dl‘scuss’iéh"&‘-’zf; of the irrigation clause was renewed. T THE journal of the previous day having been read in tho Senate on the Ist inst,, Mre. Edmunds moved to correct and amend it by inserting the names of the thirty-two Sena- . tors who were present when the roll was first called. Mr. Sherman doubted whether this change ought to be made. If it were . he would insist on having it applied to all ’ the calls of the Senate. Such a rule, he said, would only incumber the journal. Finally, after fifteen or twenty minutes dis- . cussion of the question, Mr. Edmunds’ motion was rejected. Mr. Blair offered a resolution looking to the incorporation of the previous question in the rules of the Senate, and asked for its immediate consideration, but on objection from the Democratic side the: resolution went over. After a few moments. spent in the reception of reports, bills, and memorials, at 10:45 consideration of the: tariff bill was resumed. In the House, on l motion of Mr. Taylor, of Illinois, a resolu=tion was adopted calling on the Secretary | of War for copies of the report of the eni gineers in charge of the work of improve-- | ment in Galveston harbor. The House them resumed consideration of the Senate amend= ment to the sundry civil appropriation bill. THE Senate joint resolution to permits Licut. Col. Henry C. Corbin, United States army, to accept a civil position in the World's Columbian Commission was passed. by the Senate on the 2d. The resolution of= l sered by M#. Blair instructing the Commit—tee on Rules to report within four days a. rule for the incorporation of the previous: question or of some method for limiting and i closing debate in the parliamentary procedure of the Senate was referred to the: } Committee on Rules.
