The President has approved the Geneva award bill. The exhibition at Moscow was opened by the Grand Duke Vladimir. The Attorney-General has decided that further legislation is necessary to en force the eight-hour law. Don Miguel Otero, a leading citi zen of New Mexico, formerly a delegate in Congress, died at Las Vegaa the other day. Mr. Pomeroy, who was appointed Secretary of Legation at Paris, has been transferred to Egypt as Consul-General, Si mon Wolf having resigned. Miss Kate Kane, the Wisconsin law. yer, has applied for admission to the bar of the United States Circuit Court, and Judge Dyer has taken the matter under adviae ment Lieut. Hewitt, of the Twenty-sec ond U. S. Infantry, died at San Antonia, Texas, June 8. He was married on hit death-bed to a daughter of Col. Blanton Duncan. _ It is alleged that gold in paying quan tities has been discovered on the farm of Mr. Maxwell, in the town of Stockbridge, Wie., and machinery to operate the mine haa al ready been purchased. Gen. Sherman has sent to the Secre tary of War the report of an inveatigatlng board that forty-two persona were killed and nine wounded during the recent Indian out break in Arizona. The depredatlona re ported by cltizena aggregate $30,230. Several thousand influential Repub licans of Maine united In requesting James G. Blaine to be a candidate for Congress man-at-large. He replied that, while be can not turn aside from his privet, affairs, he will contribute to the campaign hla full share of labor. The President bas nominated as mem bers of the Tariff Commission: Wm. A. Wheeler, of New York, Chairman; John L. Hayes, Massachusetts; Henry W. Oliver, Jr., Pennsylvania; Austin M. Garland, Illi nois; Jacob Ambler, Ohio; John 8. Phelps, Missouri; Robert P. Porter, District of Co lumbia; John W. 11. Underwood, Georgia; Duncan F. Kenner, Louisiana. At a largely attended meeting of workingmen at Cooper Union, New York, June 3, resolutions were adopted demand ing the abolition of the tyrannical section of the penal code, and also the abrogation of every law that restrlcta people In the exer cise of their inalienable right to meet and discuss their grievances and combine for ag gressive or defensive purpose*. Mary T. Rowland, President of the Parnell branch Lad lea' Land league of Cleveland, Ohio, has written an open letter to Bishop Gilmour, atatlng that the league will not falter in or deviate from the course marked out, and that If this be un-Catbollc then they are proud to be called heretics. The Catholic leaguera of Buffalo express great indignation over the policy of Bi.hop Gilmour, and have passed denunciatory res olutions. Chief Justice Cartter and Judges Jones and Hagner, constituting the court In banc, have rendered a decision upon the last motion filed by Reed In Gulteau’a behalf. The Chief Justice delivered the decision,, a* follows: “In the ease of Gulteau, the judges who listened to the argument have come to the concluaion that they have cx hau-ted their powers upon it; that they have heard It patiently, fully and fairly, and that reargument would bring no other con cluaion than that already referred to, and they decline to reopen tbe case. Brennan, Secretary of the Ijtnd League, after bia release. June 2, addressed a large assemblage in Kilkenny. He said hla rial jailers were G'adstone, Bright, Cham berlin and the whole crowd of pseudo hu manitarians and renegade republicans who composed the British Cabinet. He hoped it the 800 suspects were called upon tor real sacrifices they will be ready, If necessary, to die for their country. They had seen the government acknowledge Michael DaviU aa conqueror. Much remained to be done. They must tear up the very roots of land lordism. It is not improbable that the proponed Peace Congreas will have to be postponed for a time. When the call was Issued, a year in advance, there waa every proapect that the difficulties in south and Central America would be seu led at an early day. In thia, however, the hopes of the promotera of Ihe Peace Congre-s have been disappointed. There Is practically peace in South Ameri ca, and the troubles about the southern bor der of Mexico have not been adjusted, al though it is understood that the oonditlona are favorable to a settlement. Congress has taken no action in the matter, although asked to do so by the President. It la expected that the Senate, as tbe co-ordinate treaty making power with the Executive, will take the initiative in the matter, and presumably the House will not act until it haa done so. Another embarrassment In tbe -way is the fact that the South American States appear to realize that they are not in a condition to engage In a conference that might paca upon questions which they were not ready to aub* •nit to arbitration. Some time ago Mr. J. W. Lebarnes, the Law Clerk of the General Land Oflloe, testified before the Public Land Committee of the Senate that certain land grant roada in Minnesota, Missouri and elsewhere have had certified to them a large amount ot land In excess of tbe amount they were entitled to under tbe laws making the grant. Mr. Strait, of Minnesota, idi reduced In the House a resolution of Inquiry, directing tbe Secretary of the Interior to furnish to tbs House all tbe facts In hla department tend ing to show the truth or falsity ot the alle gation made by Mr. Lebarnes, end if found to be true, to make such suggestions aa ha may think beat for the recovery ot th. land in excess, and for placing It- again in poa aeaaion of the Government and opening it for homeatead and pre-emption settlement. Mr. Lebarnes alleges that under the loose practices inaugurated in the beginning the process of awarding lands to railroad oom panles, without regard to the amount they ought to be legally entitled to receive, haa gone on after the probable amount accruing to a grant haa been reached, and in some instance, after the possible maximum haa bean exceeded. PERSONAL AND GENERAL. Surgeons pronounce not fatal the wound received In the game in New York by Gillespie of the Troy nine. His skull is not fractured. Thb bodies of Washington and Fred Fehrbsch were found near Perbam, Minn.; June & Tbe evidence is conclusive that they were both murdered by John Tribbett, a boy fifteen year* old, who haa started to join the cowboys in Montana. Tribbett comes of good family, but 1* a victim of blood-and-thunder literature. The schooner Industry, of St. Joseph, capsized off South Haven, Mich., the other day, and all on board were drowned. She was near tbe shore, and the wreck was witnessed by hundreds of men, but owing to the terrible seas It waa Impoa alble to render any Maistance. When first seen the sailors were clinging to the rigging, but they were waahed away one by one un til all were loat. The will of General Garibaldi orders the cremation of bia body and the preserva tion of the aahea ia an urn near tbe tomb of hie child at Caprera. A eubscrlptlon haa been opened by workingmen’s societies to erect a monument. In the Italian Chamber of Deputies Depretls presented a bill to place a monument at the grave and pay pensiona to hie widow and each of hie five children, which wae paaeed. Tbe French Chamber of Deputlea adjourned aa a tribute of reaped. A coroner’s jury investigating the death of a child at the “Old Gentlemen’s Uneectarlan Home and Asylum and Sanita rium for Young Children, ” New York City, found that the institution Is a bad one and that it would be in the interest of buiqanity that it be abolished. W. H. Ramagar, the manager, waa held reeponaible in the aum ot $3,000. At Athol, Mass., the other day, light ning splintered a fence, plowed along the ground for ten rods, and then entered the dwelling ot Mr. Samuel Sinclair, tearing off that gentleman’a ahoea and clothing, and burning him In a moat horrible manner, great patches of flesh peeling from bis legs, while the whole left side of bis person waa dyed a blood red. James Winpknnt, a wealthy manu facturer living near Philadelphia, P*., com mitted suleide by hanging, June 3. He left a note saying be waa tired of life. Dyspepsia and financial embarraMment had aomething to do In tbe matter, but be left an estate valued at $200,000. John Miller, a wealthy farmer liv ing near Glenwood, lowa, ahot hla wife on tbe Sth and then fired a bullet through bia own bead, dying inatantly. Mrs. Miller will probably recover. Cause, domestic trouble. Charlie Flannery, aged 5, waa nearly killed by a pair of bull-dogs, at Day ton, Ohio, tbe otbar day. Tbe animal ( were fighting, and the little fellow tried to separate them, whereupon they turned up on him and lacerated bia fleah from head to foot. Mr. Drake, ex-Chief Engineer of tbe Coldwater (Mich.) Fire Department, haa been held for trial on a charge of creating fire* in order to show how quickly' be and hla rabordioatea could extinguiah them. Patrick Moran, of Brooklyn, N. Y.. haa brought ault for $30,000 against the War den, Deputy Warden, and one of tbe keep er* of tbe Auburn Penitentiary, for tortur ing him while he waa serving a term for pawing counterfeit money. Thb Linn County Bank, at Brook- Held, Mo., waa entered on tbe afternoon of the 7th and robbed of from $4,000 to $3,000. Five men entered tbe bank, and while Cashier John Ford turned to make change preaented drawn revolvers. The sixth man detained a lady at tbe front door while the robbery waa going on. Caabier Ford and Id* •later-in-law were the only persons in the bank when tbe robbers entered. The thieve* went out the back door, and left Brookfield in * northerly direction. Guitkau haa received a letter from Mr*. Scoville, in which ah* urges bim to keep up courage, expresses tbe warmest sympathy with him, and speska of him aa a martyr. Wm. J. Hutchinson, senior partner of the firm of Kennedy, Hutchinson A Co., waa expelled from tbe New York Stock Ex change, June <l. Hutchinson waa charged with having transferred to his awn account profita belonging to bia cuatomera, changing the firm book* in order to aerve bia fraudu,- leut practices. Thrkk boys were badly scalded by the explosion'of a toy engine, In Martinsville, Ind., tbe other day. A runaway engine went off the ele vated railway al Coney Island, N. T., June 6, and nine persons were Injured. Wm. Stkvknson, of Gladwin, Mich., went home the other night to find that his wife had locked Mm out. She refused to let Ulm tn. He remained outside for nearly an hour, and then attempted to enter through a window, when she shot him with a large navy revolver, the bullet striking him In the forebead, killing Mm Inatantly. The woman waa arreated. Im- Brooks County, Ga., June fl, Al fred Condon, colored, murdered bls wife and then, to conceal the crime, killed her brother. He next took a babe from Ite mother’s breast and set' it on the ties of a railroad bridge, but before the train ar rived the child fell a* into tbe water and was rescued. The murderer waa arreated. Major E. A. Burke, editor of the New Orleana Timet -Democrat, and C. H. Parker, editor of the Pfcayune, fought a duel on the morning of tbe 7th. Platola were uaed and flva shota were exchanged. At tbe fifth round Burke waa ahot through thethtgb. The wound waa not conaiderod dangeroua. Another section of Sweeney’s sa loon, in Cedarville) Ohio, was destroyed by dynamite the otbar night Chablm Tbavbrs, an insurance agent at Spartansburg, Pa., waa found dead near the depot at Franklin, the other day, and opinion la equally divided between gul dd* and murder. Ha waa to kavabeeaaaar ried, but failed to make hit appearance at the appointed time. FORTY-SEVENTH CONGRESS. Mb. Davis having dealgnated Senator In galla as a substitute, June, 1, tbe point waa raised that tbe acting Vice-President had no right to make such designation and that tbe President would have to be elected by the Senate. Mr. Morgan said that, to avoid diffi culty, he should move to adjourn until Mon day. Carried Tbe House resumed oou- alteration of the Alabama contested election case. Pendias discussion Mr. Cannon of IM nois reported the legislative, Judicial and ex ecutive appropriation bill, and Mr. Hiscock the general dedcieacy bill. Referred. The election case went over for one day. Thk House of Representatives resumed consideration of the Alabama contested elec tion case on the M, Mr. Wheeler being ac corded the floor. A resolution declaring the contestant entitled to the seat was adopted— MS to A Hardenberg, Phelps and Rice of Ohio, and Lowe took the oath of office. Mr. Davis, before proceeding with the order of business in the Senate, June 5, made a personal statement regarding his absence on Friday. He said he was suddenly called away from the city, and his letter des ignating Ingalls to perform the duties of the chair that day was in the exact conformity with a letter from the former presiding officer (Thurman), in pursuance of which a member (Eaton) temporarily discharged the duties of the chair without objection. After brief re marks by Messrs. Anthony, Garland, Logan and shennan, the Committee on Rules was instructed to inquire into and report upon the question. Mr. I^tpham reported favorably a bill for the amendment to the Constitution giving suffrage to women. Consideration of the army bill was resumed, the question being upon the Senate commit tee's amendment providing for the volun tary retirement of army officers after forty years' service, and their compulsory retire ment at sixty-two years of age.

Mr. Bayard modified his amendment so as to fix the age for compulsory retirement atM years. Adopted—2B to 22 In the House, Mr. Rob inson (La.) introduced a bill retinquishingthe cottontax collected in the Mississippi Valley States, and appropriating the same for the permanent improvement of the Mississippi River.

Thk District of Columbia appropria tion bill passed the Senate, June 8, and a Joint resolution giving SIO,OOO to sufferers by tbe Mississippi overflew was adopted. The general deficiency bill patted the House. The Southern Colorado Utes are in a state of great excitement, sad it Is feared are preparing to take tbe warpath. Large numbers have already gathered at a small station on the Denver A Rio Grande road, hideously daubed, for the purpose ot aveng ing tbe killing of some of their members by Mexicans. J. A. West, of Cincinnati, committed suicide in Chicago, June 7, by means ot a chloroformed towel. Ho bad been specu lating, and bad.lost all his money. He left a note saying: “I am very sorry to barn wronged any one who treated mo kindly and advised me well. Noone hut myself to to blame for this.

Forest Area are raging in the vicini ty ot Merillon, W|s, NO. 21. The “White .Plnnwd Knight.”, > Our Washington Specials say that Al though - Mr; BltUhe- hen beeri persistent ‘ ly urged by his JrfondSYn Maine''to bbl corrie a candidate for Congress next fall,! he declined, apd the .w publican ilatq in that State is nqw being made rip accordingly.' ’ Os cdursd uiere' is no predicting tnJ tfirn of The political wheel, bnt it certainly now looks very much as if Blaine were permanently ori the retired list. He is no .longer young, and, what is worse, has, to a very con siderable extent, outlived his popularity in his own party. In 1876 he was un questionably the Republican favorite by a large majority, and the defeat of the "white-plumed knight” by a man named Hayes was regarded by the greet mass of Republicans as a shame and disgrace. To-day he is almost as dead politically as the man named Hayes, and his white plume is not much ipore likelv to be seen m the fore front of a Presidential bht>’ tery than is the red ribbon tbtal absti nence flag of his successful competitor at Cincinnati. He did good service in bursting the third-term business,, but was himself hoisted by the same petard which knockedTxrant out of the ‘ ring. Possibly he might have got What prize fighters call "his second wind,’ 1 had he been allowed to serve out bis term os Secretary of State. But he made an unpromising beginning and his early enforced retirement prevented him from regaining the lost ground. At present he' is an object of special detestation with the dominant Republican faction, • while the anti-Stalwarts feel for Mm .nothing more than lukewarm. nabetion. In short, unless all signs fail, Blaine is “ played out.” L . Why? Not because he lacks ability. Probably,no member of his party has as much.. Not because he has not rendered his party what, at the time at l«Mt, were considered valuable services. Probably no Republican has rendered more. Not because ho fa not thorough ly sound on the party creed. Nq. Re publican is sounder. What, then, is the matter wsh Blaine? This; He has not a grain of , true statesmanship in him. He is a politician and nothing else, and his tricks as such being jok hausted he has nothing to fall bauc up on. As unscrupulous as ambitious, he sought to grasp the glittering prize of a Presidential nomination by stirring up the smoldering embers of sectional strife and thrusting himself forward as the champion of "a solid North against a solid Sdufh.” The bioody-shirt card' failing to win in 1876, though it came very near, he gradually swung.round toward the conservative Jine, so nuft ih 1880 he was selected to be^t Grant.’* In' so doing be unexpectedly elected Gar field arid became identified with an Ad- 4 ministration avowedly hostile jo the principles and practices Which he repre sented six years ago, Garfield’s death left him, so to speak, “high and dfr."’ The Stalwarts hated hiin, the anti-StU-' Warts Were tired of him, and being out • of Congress he had no ladder by which to climb again into influential position. Statesmen are very scarce, and- were he one he would be a power in his party and liable at any moment to step to the front as an indispensable leader. Poli ticians are plentiiul, and, being one. nothing but luck can lift him to his old place. It looks very much as if he had had his day, and might hereafter be reckoned out of the game. If such is the case, there is no occasion for regret among those who regard patriotism as better than partisanship. Blaine is essen tially a partisan. His country does not extend beyond the Potomao ahd tbe Ohio, and ne has no countrymen outside the Republican ranks. At a-time when the wounds of the war seemed aknoet heale^, deliberately . tore them open by appeals to sectional prejudice and passion, hoping thereby to ride into the Presidency on the wave of Northern fear and fury. He deliberately pre. ferred his own personal aggrandisement to National unity, jpaaoe and prosperity; and his failure at Cincinnati Was merely' the first installment of a righteous retri bution Which h not yet exhausted. And there is a deal Os poetic Justice in the fact that his bitterest enemies to-day are the verymen whom he taright, by precept and example, the beassties and blessings of Stalwart Republicanism. Like the hero of the Greek myth, he is devoured by his own hounds.— St. Louis .Republican.
