I The House begun business this morning with tbe I promise of hard lighting and confusion tor the re- I malnlng six days of the session. This was the I first of the six days when it is In order to make I motions to suspend the rules by a two-third vote and to pass bills for which members succeed in I getting recognition. Members crowded close about the Speaker's desk after the reading of the journal, trying to catch the speaker's eye. Mr. Hatch caught that orb first and attempted to send the Department ot Agriculture bill to con- I ference. He unfortunately made his motion in a manner that Was construed into a request tor unanimous consent, and Mr. Morrison objected, so that the motion was a failure. The Mlssourlan was not. however, to be put down In this way, and I in another minute he had caught the Speaker's I eye and made a motion to suspend the rules and I pass the experimental station bllL This time I there was no technical point that could be made I against him. The Speaker had let his eye fall I tnat way, and there was no help for it. MR. RANDALL DEMANDS THE RIGHT OP WAT FOR AP PROPRIATION BILLS. Mr. stepped out Into the space In front of the speaker's desk, and, while the members I gathered around him, declared in a peremptory manner that^otylth it iiHIng the rules as to sus- I pension, he was going to demand the right of way tor appropriation bills. He said that It lay wltn the speaker to recognise or not to recognize mem- I bers for motions to suspend the rules, and he hoped I the speaker would not give such recognition at I this stage of the session. THE SPEAKER YIELDS THE POINT. The Speaker had the rule read, and, In spite of I all points of order, declared that Mr. Hatch had I properly got his bill before the House for a vote. I But, he added, It did rest with the Speaker to do I as he pleased about having his eye caught lndls> | criminately by members about the House. He | would, therefore, avail himself of this discretion I and refuse to give recognition for the general busi ness of suspending the rales when appropriation bills demanded the right of way. MR. BURROWS GETS IN A WORD. This declaration seemed to cause much dlscon tent, and Mr. Burrows said: "Then, Mr. Speaker, all that is necessary to prevent the operation of this rule is that the appropriation bills shall be I held back?" THE EXPERIMENTAL STATION BILL PASSED. Mr. Hatch's experimental station bill was then I taken up and passed. CONFERENCE ON THB RETALIATION BILL. On motion of Mr. Belmont (N. Y.) tbe House In-1 slsted on its amendments to the Senate retaliation bill; and Messrs. Belmont, Clements and Rice were appointed conferees. THE DEFICIENCY BILL. Mr. Burnes (Mo.), from the committee on appro-1 priatlons, reported the deficiency appropriation bill, and it was referred to the committee ot the I whole. THE INVALID PENSION BILL. Mr. Townshend (111.) submitted the conference report on the invalid pension appropriation bill, and It was agreed to. [The only points of differ-1 ence were In regard to the provisions for the offices of pension agents. As agreed to the bill appropri ates $20,000 ior the rent of such offices, and re quires the secretary of tbe Treasury to furnish quarters in public buildings for the occupancy of pension agencies when possible.] THE NATAL APPROPRIATION BILL. Private business having been dispensed with the House went Into committee of the whole (Mr. Mc creary, ot Ky., in the chair) on the naval appro priation bill. The pending amendment, appropriating $12,000 for the repair ol the Naval War college building, on Casters island, was rejected; 83?88. Mr. Boutelle moved to strike out the paragraph 1 appropriating $1,100,000 lor the construction ot two timber airy docks, to be located at such navy I yard as the secretary of the Navy may indicate. Chanye of laasfnratloB Day. A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE SENATE PR0P0SIT0N. The Ingalls-Hoar constitutional amendment, to I change from March 4 to April 30, the date of In- I auguratlon day, was discussed today by the House I judiciary committee. Representative Grain (Tex.), I who lntrocuded in the House an amendment pro-1 viding for the MwmiiHng of Congress on tbe sec-1 ond Tuesday in January, as well as for the begin ning ot the presidential term on the 30th of April, called attention to the fact that the Senate amendment tailed to cover ttt same ground as the amendment proposed by himself for the reason that It allowed of a lapse of thirteen months between the election of Congressmen and the be ginning of their duties, while but six weeks would Intervene after the election before the new Con gress would assemble if his plan were adopted. ? defect in the Senate amendment to which Mr. Craln called attention was its failure to amend the 12th article of the Constitution, which provides for the assumption of the office of President by the Vice President in the event of the failure of the House to choose a President before the 4th of March, when the choice devolves upon the House. The effect ot this omission, Mr. Craln showed, might be to give the country two Presidents. Mr. Taylor moved to report the senate amend ment favorably, but this motion was defeated. Mr. Tucker, the chairman, was then Instructed to prepare in season tor the committee's action to-morrow a substitute for the Senate proposition embodying the craln amendment. The Deficiency Appropriation Bill. TAKIOUB ITEMS OF DISTRICT INTEREST. The House appropriations committee have com pleted the general deficiency MIL The total amount carried is $3^73^04.94, against an esti mate ot $7,558^)1A.43.

The i amount ot $12,000 deficiency in teachers salaries, asked for bythe commissioners, to reimburse the teachers for the 3 per cent taken from their sala ries, was refused by the committee, who took the ground that the Commissioners had ao authority to employ more teachers or to give salaries to amount to a sum lanper than the appropriation provided, and that this therefore waa not a dell DISTRICT 1TTEBESTS I!?

Special Cable Dispatch to Tn Ernrrao Stab. London, Feb. 25.?Tbe leading article In the Fortniyfuly Review for March will be tbe third tn Dilke's series on tbe present position of European politics, lie will discuss tbe position of Russia at great length, beginning with tbe remark, "In the union ot patriotism and religion which the Rus sians present I know no country in Europe that can approach them, though they mar be rivaled by the people ot the United states." Dllke goes exhaustively into the relations of Russia with the other powers, deprecates in the strongest terms the policy of saving six ponces on the army and navy, especially the recent reduction of the Eng lish field artillery, and summarizes the article as follows: "The conclusion, then, to whlcb we come Is that such Is the patriotism or the Russian peo ple certainly that in the event of war Nihilism would disappear and every Russian would support the policy of his czar. Such Is the defensive strength of Russia in Europe and such her offen sive power from the Caucasus towards India that not only Ls war with Russia to be deprecated as a terribly calamity, but It would strain tbe powers or the British empire to the utmost. At the same time I hold that even In a single-handed struggle we should ultimately win. We should be able, al though only by a tremendous effort, to bold our own Tn the neighborhood of Kandahar, prevent In surrection In India and check Invasion. We could not unassisted save Turkey If Turkey was menaced In the war as against other powers. We could not hold Egypt or save tbe Mediterranean route. But holding India, Mauritius and the Cape, we could carry tiie war into the enemy's country on the Pacific, destroy at all events during the life of those now living Russia's power on the Pacific, and, indeed, probably tear away the Pacific prov inces trom her empire." CHICAGO^ ALLEGED "BOODLEBS." SI?re Important Evidence Said M Have Been Secnred. Chicago, Feb. 25.?A new witness has been se cured against the Cook county "boodlers" in the person of John F. Gray, a contractor, who in formed State's Attorney Grannell that be had been approached separately by a certain "boodle" county commissioner, a member or the grand Jury, and county Hospital Warden McGarlgle, each of whom endeavored to have him raise one of his bids from $0,000 to (8,500. Tbe proposition was that the additional sum would ostensibly go to Gray, but really be divided among the "gang," who would guarantee Gray the contract. Gray was unwilling to accept tbe terms, and the con tract subsequently went to another man at a much higher figure than even the one named by McGarlgle. None of the boodlers have yet been taken into custody, but it is generally understood that arrests will follow closely upon tbe assem bling of the special grand jury, a few days hence. Mr. Lowell la CMcag*. SOUK STRONG WOKDS FROM BIS HARVARD CLCB banquet speech. Chicago, Feb. 23.?James Russell Lowell made the speech of the evening at tbe annual banquet of tbe Harvard club of cbicago last night. The sentiment from him which evoked the most applause was the following: "Party organization ls no doubt a very convenient thing, but a great many people feel?and 1 feel very strongly with them?that when loyalty to part}' means disloyalty to country, and means what It seems to me is still worse?disloyalty to conscience?it ls asking more than any good man or citizen should concede." Ex-Secretary of War Robert T. Lincoln, in a short address, referred to the diplomatic cor respondence which was carried on while he was Secretary of War concerning the Sweeny and U'Mahoney matter, and paid a very high compl ment to Mr. Lowell's part In that correspondence.

St. Paul, Minn., Feb. 25.?An oftielal test of the steam heating apparatus, as applied by the Mil waukee & St. Paul was made yesterday upon a train between St. Paul and Minneapolis. The de vice consists of the use of the exhaust steam from the dome of the engine,carried through pipes under neath the engine and cars, with a patent flexible coupling between each car. This pipe connects In the center of each car with radiating pipe, one each side, with a branch under each seat. Tbe pipes are so inclined tbat water condensed from the steam escapes from the bottom of tbe car. The test seemed to be periectly satisfactory, the thermometer registering eighty degrees within the car, while outside it stood at zero, with a pressure of six pounds to the square inch inside the car. The heat was distributed equitably and seemed to be devoid of the dryness which is ordi narily experienced in day coaches when heated by stoves. The flreman of tbe engine declared after the test that he saw no perceptible difference In the amount of coal used. Another test will be made soon on a through train, with greater num ber of cars.
