ALL EXCEPT ONE.
Appropriation Bills Acted
Upon by Congress.
The General Deficiency Bill
Alone Undisposed of.
Nearly 700 Bills Sent to the President
this Session.
Will the Silver Bill Be Reported to the
House Today—A Bitter Partisan
Debate in Prospect.
Associated I'ress Dispatches. I
Washington, June 22. —All except
one, the general deficiency, of the four
teen regular appropriation bills, have
been acted on in one or both houses of
congress. But two of the thirteen, how
ever, tbe army and military academy
bills, have become laws; the others are
mostly hi conference or in an advanced
state in the house or senate. Almost
seven hundred bills, the larger portion
being house bills, have been sent to the
president since the opening of congress
for his action.
The House Programme.
Tomorrow will be district day in the
house, but if the coinage committee is
ready to report upon the senate amend
ments to the silver bill, there are indica
tions that the committee on rules will
be ready in turn to see that the report
secures speedy consideration in the
house. It is also probable that by Tues
day morning the same committee will
report a rule making the national elec
tion bill tbe special order for the re
mainder of the week. If adopted, it will
probably lead to one of the most bitter
partisan debates witnessed in recent
years.
Senate Porecnst.
The bill for the admission of Wyo
ming is the first order of business in the
senate. When it comes up the Demo
crats will offer a substitute in the shape
of an omnibus bill, providing enabling
acts for Wyoming, Idaho, Arizona and
New Mexico. Territorial bills will have
to wait, however, for consideration of
the appropriation bills. The committee
is determined to press these measures as
rapidly its possible. Frye will make an
effort to have his shipping bills con
sidered, and if that fails will press the
river and harbor bills.
TIIK fUXH BILL..
A Statement as to the Effect of the Senate
Measure. ,
Washington, June 22. —Statements as
to tbe effects upon the customs receipts
of the provisions of the tariff bill, as re
ported by the senate finance committee,
have been completed. These show that
the amount of duties collected in 1881)
upon the importations of all articles
made dutiable in the house bill and the
amendments proposed by the senate,
assessed under existing laws, was $161,
--408,840. The duties estimated under the
house bill amount to $200,249,977;
under the bill as amended by
tbe senate, $201,089,007. The equivalent
ad valorem rate under the house bill is
50.80 per cent.; under the senate bill,
51.07 per cent. The reduction of revenue
by the transfer of articles to the free list in
the house bill, including $10,327,878 re
duction of internal revenue taxes,
stricken out by the senate finance com
mittee, is estimated at $717,040,74. By
the transfer articles on the free list in
the senate bill the reduction of revenue
is estimated at $00,003,343.
A note in recapitulation says : These
tables are prepared upon the plan and
theory usually followed. Estimates are
largely conjectural and more or le3S un
reliable and misleading. They are based
upon the assumption that if the bill
should become a law, merchandise of
like quantity and values would be im
ported as was imported during the fiscal
year of 188!). This basis can only be
accepted as reliable where the changes
in rates are not of such
a character as to necessarily cause an in
crease or diminish importation. The re
duction above given of $71,004,774 by the
house bill, and 160,993. 343, appear to be
certain ; but if the imports should be
the same as last year, under the new
rates, the reduction would amount under
the house bill to $26,128,742, and under
the senate bill to $20,318,283.
A CHINESE SWINDLE.
A Fraudulent Medical Concern Raided at
Milwaukee.
Milwaukee, Wis., June 22.—The es

New York, June 22.—The fourteenth
annual convention of North American
Turnerbunds met this morning in Cen
tral Turnhalle and began formal busi
ness. President Hugh Muench deliv
ered the opening address. The organi
zation controlled greater social and po

New York, June 22. —A split occurred
in tbe Central Labor Union today. The

CLEARED UP.
THE TEXARKANA TRAIN ROBBERY
FULLY CONFESSED.
The Wife of the Wounded Robber Exposes
the Whole Gang—The Guilty Persons
are Now All Safely Lodged in Jail.
Texarkana. Ark., June 22. —The wife
of Ratcliffe, the wounded Texas Pacific
train robber who died last night, has
furnished the authorities a full state
ment of the recent sensational robbery
near here. She states that the persons
now in jail, Detective Williams, Napo
leon McDaniel and John Brow
ley, with her husband, commit
ted the robbery. McDaniel went
through the express car while Browley
and Williams stood guard; that Rat
cliffe did the shooting which disabled
the express agent with Williams's Win
chester; that McDaniel shot Ratcliffe
through mistake, supposing, in the dark
ness, that the trainmen bad armed
themselves and determined to resist.
The woman did not in any way counte
nance or encourage the robbery, but was
enforced to silence.
Which Is the Longer?
"Which is the longer—the head of v
good-sized horse or an ordinary Hour
barrel?" "Why, what can you be
thinking of?" "I repeat it." "Pre
posterous!" "Yes; but let's measure."
So the two men who had been talking in
such an animated style paused in their
Market-street walk and looked around for
a flour barrel. It was at noon, and hun
dreds of horses stood with their
heads hanging over the curb,
munching their provender out of
nose-bags or boxes. By and by the
two men who were in altercation found
an empty flour barrel. One of them
was about to seize it in order that he
might hold it> up against the horse's
face when tbe other exclaimed, "Hold
on ! I've got a tape measure." So they
measured the barrel and then stepped
over to the curb where stood a big
boned draught horse. They measured
his head. The man who at first de
murred opened his eyes. "Good gra
cious!" said he, "Cap, you're hoo-dooing
me ! I won't believe it." But it was a
fact. If you don't believe it try.—[Phil

What the Queen Drinks.
Some remarkable information about
the favorite beverages of European sov
ereigns has been published by an Amer
ican journal. The queen is described as
preferring "the old fashioned wines,"
port and sherry, and she is fond of hock
and tokay. Formerly the queen drank
champagne and claret, and she never
cared for either port or sherry.
It was the prince consort who liked
tokay so much, and he invariably
drank a bumper of it after dinner,
regarding it, and very rightly, as a
liqueur. Of late years the queen, by
advice of Sir William Jenner, has usu
ally taken apollinaris water and Scotch
whiskey, and even when she drinks a
glass of claret it is often mixed with apol
linaris. The distillery of Lochnager,
from which the queen obtains her whis
key, is on the Balmoral estate. There
is a very large cellar of wine at Windsor,
containing a great quantity of very fine
old port and claret and some wonderful
Cabinet Rhine wines of the great vint
ages. —[London World.
V M'tor Missed the Gypsies.
Mr. Porter covered a good deal of
ground in preparing his questions for the
census, yet there are many things he
did not provide for. An enumerator at
Philadelphia is anxious to know how he
shall take a census of the gypsies that
will pass muster with Mr. Porter. There
is a large band of this species of wan
derers in camp near that city, and he
has thus far been unable to get them on
his list. The gypsy queen says she re
sides all over the United States, and the
answers of her followers are about as
unsatisfactory. In his perplexity he
has written a four-page letter to Mr.
Porter for instructions, and the latter is
now wrestling with the difficulties of
the gypsy question.—[Chicago Herald.
Wine in the White House.
The synod censure passed upon Presi
dent Harrison and his good wife yester
day for "weighting their table with
wine," was perhaps deserved. The wine
that "moveth itself aright," as Solomon
described it, should be kept in the cooler
during such weatheras this. —[New York

Associated Press Dispatches. I
Seattle, Wash., June 22. —An un
known man was shot and instantly killed
in the Suer Quelle saloon, at 8 o'clock
last night, by Leo AVilke, the barkeeper.
The stranger came into the saloon with
four other strangers, and called for
drinks, which were placed on the bar.
The stranger then turned|to the bartender
and said: "Say, barkeeper, what do
you do to a man who doesn't pay for his
drinks?"
Wilke reached under the bar and
pulled out a revolver, and said: "I know
nothing better than this to enforce pay
ment with."
The words had hardly left his lips
when the revolver was discharged in the
face of the stranger, who fell over with
a bullet through his forehead.
His four friends rushed out of the
saloon and disappeared.
Wilke at once gave himself up to the
police. He claims that the shooting
was accidental.
The identity of the man killed cannot
be learned. The initials "C. K." were
found on his shirt. He was about 35
years old.
SUNDAY BALL GAMES.
The San Franciscos Shut Out by the

KILLED BULLOCK.
Two Indians Arrested for the Murder of
a Mexican Man.
Wawona,Cal.,June 22. —Reports from
Maricopa say Indians Wilson and
Charlie, the supposed murderers of In
dian Bullock, murdered near here June
10th, were arrested by Sheriff Turner
this morning near there, and admit the
killing. Indian Bullock was a medicine
man and had been doctoring one of the
chiefs who had la grippe. The chief
died, and as it is the custom when med
icine men let their patients die, to kill
them, Indians Charlie and Wilson took
it upon themselves to kill Bullock.
Pleasure Boat Capsized.
Seattle, Wash., June 22.—Last night
a small boat containing three men cap
sized near West-point lighthouse, four
miles from Seattle. Captain Fonda, of
the lighthouse, and a Port-Intelligencer re
porter put off in a government life
service boat and saved J. F. Johnson
and his son Jonathan, but John Swager
was drowned. The party started out on
a pleasure trip, when a gale came up
and overturned the boat.
Panic on a Ferryboat.
San Francisco, June 22. —As the fer
ryboat Tiburon was returning from Ti
buron this afternoon with a large num
ber of passengers on board, a floating
log caught in the paddlewheel; the
boat lurched to one side, and as the

particulars are obtainable.
Machine Shop Strikes.
Legrandf., Or., June 22. —The em

there will be no postponement of the
La Blanche-Mitchell fight, set for the
27th, despite the declaration of the chief
of police that he will stop the contest
and arrest all the participants. The di
rectors say they mean to make the fight
a test case of the legality of such con
tests, and if arrested will fight the mat

will abide by tlie decision and abandon
fights in the future. They express
themselves as confident of winning a vic
tory, however.
Slugging at Marysville.
Marysville, Cal., June 22. —Sid
Huntington, of San Francisco, and
Harry Jones, of San Jose, fought ten
rounds at the Marysville Athletic Club
rooms Saturday night. Jones was ten
pounds the heavier. The referee
awarded the fight and purse to Hunting

fearing the police would interfere.
Managing the Old-Clo' Man.
An observant young man assures me
that there are few things more amusing
than to deal with an old-clo' man. He
has discovered the secret of driving a
bargain, and it is to name a price and
stick to it. The old-clo' man comes on
call, and presents himself black bag in
hand, ready to buy anything, from a
second-hand derby hat to an outgrown
dress suit. He comes prepared to bar
gain, always insists that the seller set
the price, and instantly offers a third of
the figure named. If the seller has kept
within a reasonable sum the buyer
comes by degrees to the price de
manded. At the slightest sign of weak
ening on the seller's part, however, the
old-clo' man becomes as hard as steel.
The one thing he is not prepared for is
the man who serenely stands by his
first price, and that policy always wins.

sionally, no matter where you met him.

Wine in High Places.
The terrible fact comes out that Presi
dent Harrison and Vice-President Mor
ton sometimes drink wine ; that cham
pagne and claret are not unknown at
white house dinners, and that the vice
president ventures to place seven wine
glasses before his guests and fills them
all. The more alarming fact is that Mr.
Wanamaker is the only public man of
the highest range of importance in the
service of his country who does not
drink wine, or, as they say in the regions
where the people dwell in moral sub
limity, press the bottle to his neighbor's

Aluminum Coinage.
The Springfield Union suggests that
the government call in thes-cent nickels
and substitute aluminum. Aluminum
now costs about the same as nickel. It
is cleaner and lighter, as well as prettier,
and its use in this way would also serve
as a sort of introduction of the metal to
the people, who would thus become ac
customed to it and be given a chance to
learn its qualities and characteristics.
The suggestion is a good one.—[Norwich

Indianapolis, June 22.—Marshal Dil

this morning. Some negroes had a big
dance and all got more or less drunk.
About midnight one of them, Peter Car
penter, got into a row with Patrick
Horn, an Irishman, and Horn was cut
with a razor. This victory made the ne
groes hilarious. Marshal Dillon was
called, and in company with Andy
Moore attempted to quell the disturb-'
ance. They were attacked by the whole
mob, the members brandishing knives
and razors. They soon began firing their
revolvers, and about thirty shots were
fired, one of them fatally wounding Mar
shal Dillon. Peter Carpenter was soon
arrested for cutting Horn, and Allen
Ross for shooting Dillon. They were
brought to this city to avoid mob vio
lence, as the citizens of Haughville are
much excited.
MILITANT CHURCHMEN.
A Battle Between Parishoners and Elec
tric Light Men.
Saratoga, June 22.—Yesterday after
noon there was a row in Schuylkill be
tween a gang of electric light "company
workmen and the parishoners of the
Church of the Visitation (Catholic), thej
latter insisting that the workmen should
not set poles in front of the church. No
one was badly injured, though missiles
flew in showers. Sheriff Deyoe ordered
the rioters to desist. They refused, and
a fight ensued. The matter quieted
down after several arrests, although 100
men with pistols and other arms guarded
the church all night, and today. It is
understood that both sides are ready for
a fracas Monday morning, and should
the trouble be reopened, it is likely the
military will be called out.
ROW ON A TRAIN.

Atlanta , Ga., June 22.—A row occurred
on an East Tennessee train, near Ellen

Non-Striking Conductors.
New York, June 22 —Representatives
of the conservative element of the order
