Telegraphic News-
The House of Bepresentatives.
Washington, March 10. The
House, in committee of the whole to
day, was the scene of a long, excit
ed, and at times angry discussion.
A bill on the private calender, for
the relief of Richard Heater, of Vir
ginia, gave rise to the debate; but
the measure under consideration was
soon lost sight of, and the commit
tee was consumed in speeches in re
gard to war claims in general.
Mr. White, of Pennsylvania, and
Mr. Hunton, of Virginia, entered in
to an excited colloquy about the
treatment of prisoners of war in Lib
by prison, and Andersonville. Mr.
Turner, of Kentucky, precipitated
himself into the discussion, and loi
a few moments there was a scene of
*reat uproar and confusion. I" mall\
fhe committee rose. The bill was
passed. .
Under the call for reports of a ; pri
vate nature, Mr. Cabell, of A irginia,
from the committee on railways, re
ported bill to relieve the Dismal
Swamp Canal Company in improv
ing its canal. It guaranteed to the
goernmcnt the payment of the inter
est of the bonds of the company to
an amount not exceeding $400,000.
Referred to the committee of the
whole. „ . .
In cource of the discussion of the
committee of the whole, on the bill
for the payment of Richard Heater,
of Virginia, for supplies taken by the
United Ststes army, Mr. Bragg, of
Virginia, denied that any Virginian
during the war had been loyal to the
Union. Loyalty in Virginia, he said,
meant loyalty to Virginia. _
Mr. Hunton said that during the
war a numbci of people in Virginia
remained as loyal to the Union as
anyone north of the Potomac. dhe
de bate growinganimated, Mr. W hite,
of Pennsylvania, spoke of the perse
cution of southern loyalists in the
Xibby prison, to which Mr. Hunton
replied emphatically, denying that
any unnecessary privations had been
imposed upon federal prisoners, and
depreciated the introduction of the
rudetfWve in debate. The discus-
to the responsibility of the federal
government for the softer mgs of fed
eral prisoners, in confederate prisons,
was false. By this time the demo
crats became excited, and M. Turner,
of Kentucky, with his fist in close
proximity to White’s face, demand
ed to know why the latter did not
take his seat as the rules required.
The sergeant-at-arms was called
on, but his services were not requir
ed, as the angry disputants were
calmed by respective friends.
London, May 10.—A special dis
patch from Home, printed in this af
ternoon’s Pall Mall Gazette, says al
though the Pope is suffering from
inflammation of the liver, the cardi
nals oppose his removal from the
Vatican.
Washington, May 11. —The house
spent the day discussing the bill re
ported from the committee on com
merce, to regulate inter-state trans
portation on railroads, and to pro
hibit discrimination in freights.
No result was reached, no move
ment was made in regard to the con
templated movement for an inquiry
into the alleged Presidential frauds.
London, May 11, 5 i\ m. —A dis
patch to Reuter’s Telegram Compa
ny from Berlin, says: “At U:3O
o’clock this afternoon, as Emperor
William was returning from a drive
with the Grand Dutchess of Baden,
several shots from a revolver were
fired at him in Avenue ITnter den
linden ; nobody was hurt. The per
son who flred the shots was arrested.
The Threatened War.
London, May 11.—-A Vienna cor
respondent says Lord Bcaconsfield,
in his last interview with Count
JSchouvaloff, explained with great
precision the special English inter
ests which England would in all cir
cumstances protect. England, as be
fore, lays chief stress on the Euro
pean settlement of the question allot-f
ing weight only so far as it affects
this principle. The fact, therefore,
that England is entering into pour
parlers about various points of the
treaty cannot be interpreted by Rus
sia as showing a disposition on the
of the British c abinet to swerve from
the line first adopted. Meanwhile,
the war party in St. Petersburg is
beginning to stir. Count Schonvaloff
is thought to be too English in Ins
views, and on his arrival he will hnd
that a strong counter-current has set
in against his person, as well a* his i
mission. His visit to Prince La
marck looks as if he saw his danger
and was intent upon securing the co- j
operation of the German chancellor, i
Negotiations for the surrender of the ;
surrender of the fortresses and the
withdrawal of the Russian army bom i
Constantinople are reported as pro- .
dressing favorably. j
" The Daily Neics special from Bei
lin says the tone of the press is not
altogether confident. Ihe new sfi om
Vienna is general!v warlike, and
seems to indicate that Austria does
not regard the prospects improved
by the peacful turn of uegotians be
tween England and Russia.
The Times' Belgrade dispatch re
ports Bosnia in a state of great agi
tation, and the insurgents force all
Christians to join them or burn their
villages.
The Daily Telegraph announces
that Viscouni Sandon is to be admitt
ed to a seat in the cabinet.
New Yoek, May 11.— A dispatch
from Paris says : The customs officers
at Havre will not permit arms from
the United States, for the Russian
government, to be landed.
Reconciliation.
Vicksburg, Miss., May 11. —Me-
morial day was observed yesterday
by ex-Union and ex-Confederate sol
diers, and the graves were decorated
with flowers. Blue and gray inarch
ed in the same procession.
