The House.
One of the featurca of the House ses?

lon Instead of two, as at present
?Messrs, Folkcs and "Whitehead conduct?
ed a fight for amendments offered by
Messrs. Tone'y and Jennings, respective?
ly fixing the minimum quantity at ten
and flvo gallons. Taking theso for his
.M_t Mr. Folkes mndo a wurm speech
oil the subject of the Mann bill, which
hft declared was breeding distilleries on
tho ruins of bar-rpoms, which it had de?
stroyed. Ho wanted to fix tho minimum
pj, high as possible, so as to put liquor
out of the reach of as many people as
?possible in Mann bill districts. Mr.
?Whitehead spoko In the same line, and
tha result was the adoption of an amend?
ment, leaving tho law In its present
r'r.ape, the number of gallons being placed
at two on Mr. Whitehead's .motion.
Mr. Newhouse and others spoko for
I be bill, as It came from the Senate, fix?

when this had been rejected, Mr. Jen?
nings offered one fixing it at five. This

Mr. Whitehead strenuously opposed Mr.
Slpe's amendment to the building and
loan bill, forbidding building and loan
associations to charge a higher rate of
interest than eight per cent, for the loan
of 'money.

amendment would drive a number ot as?

out at some length tho benefits arising
from them to the poorer classes. . Tho

and. Mr. Whitehead was Booking to have

Mr. Folkes replied, to Messrs. Church?
man and Caton, and said he presented
the Issue squaroly between the city of
Richmond and tho city of Washington.

liable to Imprisonment In tho peniten?

tic, than originally reported. ThU was tho

ment, though opposed strenuously by

TO PUNISH
FOR BRIBERY
The Senate Yesterday Passed a
Measure Regarded as Vcryt
. Drastic.
'CORRUPTLY" STRICKEN OUT
Apparent Attempt to Make the
-Law so'Severe That it Will
Soon be Repealed.
The bill passed by tho Bonnie yester?
day In relation to tho giving or aceep.
anco of a bribe and tlio punishment
therefor, wris amended by Mr. Mcll
wnlno lo strike out the word, "corrupt-:
ly." As -imendod, it wim the subject of
consldorablo debate,' bolng untngonlued
by Mcssr*. Walker and Andorson, and
championed In a rather Impnsslonod
speech by Mr. Mdlwalne, patron of tho
amendment,. Tho bill, It Is claimed, will
have tho effect of strengthening tho
Barksdalo puro elections law.
By striking out the word, "corruptly, *
tho drastic measure becomes much broad?
er, and In tho opinion of many, would, if
?jiiforcod, havo the effect ot making a
person Hablo to tho penitentiary It he
nsked a candidate for tho legislature
how ho would voto on a certain meas?
ure, as a condition of securing tho elec?
tor's voto. ..
Be that as It may, Senator Mcllwalne,
an open and oonfessod opponent of the
Barksdalo law, offered and advocated
tho amendment, which It Is thought by
snmo will make the law so drastic that
it will bo altogether repealed at tho
first opportunity.
Hero lit the full text of the amended
bill as passed by the Senate:

opinion, &c, of officers, how punished;

JUSTICE JOHN
FORAGES ON U. S.
He Had no Jurisdiction in the
Wood Assault
Case.
In the Police Court on Tuesday morn?
ing Justice CrutohCIeld imposed a fine of
120 and costs on Messrs. C. B. and S. L.
Wood, who woro 'tried on a warrant
charging them with assaulting Attorney
John A. Lamb at his office in the Shafcr
building. In addition to the fine -.the
MessrP. Wood wero put under bond to
keep the peace,
It has slnco developed that Justice
Crutchfleld had no Jurisdiction in tho
case, the alleged offenso having been com?
mitted on tho United States reserve, over
which. In this case, tho Federal courts
havo sole and excluslvo Jurisdiction. Sec?
tion 727 of tho Revised Statutes of the
United States gives tho State courts
power to servo process on the Federal
reservations, and to mnko-arcsts and glvo
preliminary hearings whero thero Is no
resident commissioner. In this city, Whero
thero is such a, commissioner, tho caso
should havo come beforo him, to Inquire
whether there was probable causa for
holding defendants for tho Federal grand
Jury. If held for tho grand Jury and in?
dicted for misdemeanor or graver charge,
tlio commissioner would certify the case
to Judge Wa'ddlll's court, and tho defen?
dants would there have to stand trial by
Jury. In any event the iionalty In the
nature of a^flno Imposed ia payable Into
tho Federal court, and tho 'city hns no
right to tho .40 assessed In these cases.
Thero is no doubt as to the Jurisdiction
of the commissioner and tho Federal
courts In this case, and, Indoed. It Is yet
possible for a Federal warrant to be sworn
nut against Messrs. Wood, and their
being brought before the commisslone? for
hearing. It is not regarded as probable,
however, that tho United States offlclals
wlll assert their Jurisdiction In the mat
tor, and the oaso will probably end whero
It is.
MISCHIEVIOUS THIEVES.
Stole Brass of Little Value, But
Caused Much Damage.
Thieves brolt*' Into' tho warehouse of
the Richmond Mica Company, on South
Ninth Streot, somi time Wednesday night
and stripped the brass trimmings from'the
dynamos.
Nothing else was disturbed. Entrance
was effected through a rear window.
The actual value of the brass Is In?
considerate, but the darnago and cost of
repair will amount to quite a sum.
Mrs. Gibson Better.
Bishop Gibson visited Christ Church
Wednesday night and confirmed a class
of sixteen. The sermon was preach?
ed by tho Rev. C. R. Kuyk, of Barton
Heights. Tho bishop gives encouraging
report of the condition of Mrs. Gibson,
who is 111 In a Baltimore hospital.
