8 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.
