Bpectal Dispatch to The Chicano Tribune. Wasmmaron, D. C., Jan. 15.—At adinner party this evening at which mo5t of the leading Bepubhesn Senators were present, it was stated on his bill to cede the Fort Dearborn Addition to 16 City-of Chicago, said to-night that they were “most unjust and unfounded.’ “In tho first \place,” said Mr. Davis, “the bill is mine, and has no mysterious origin. I had. read and digested ‘the Aldrich bill, and belioying that it was not designed to forward the best Interests of the publicI formulated my own Dill, which differs -from the Aldrich hill only. in that it strikes from. the latter these words: ‘For the erection there- on of a railway passenger station-house and other,’ and adds the words.‘ lease or’ before the word ‘selL" THIS. DIFFERENCE: : isan important one, in that it allows the city discretion in the disposition of the lands thus acquired. 1 by no means antagonize the Illinois Central Railroad Company, nor any other in- terest, for it may, happen, after the city acquires’ tho land, it may become very desirable to dedi- cate it to some other purpose than that of a rail- way-depot. The fact that the Aldrich bill em- bodies the wishes of the City Council matters lit~ tle, for the present Council soon goes out of office, and the.new Council may havea very different opinion. Iwish to say, too, that there is nothing in my bill which conflicts with the decision of Judge Drummond, to which attention. has been called. Lreferred: my bill, to the Cémmittee.of Public Buildings and Grounds, because THE HARRISON BILL, which passed the House in the Forty-fourth Congress, was considered by that Committee. According to the rules. of the House, the bill can be considered: nowhere else. I shall go be- fore that Committee on Wednesday morn- as a gubsti- mg and offer my bill tute for that of Mr, Aldrich, believing that there is. nothing in the bill which can conflict with the disposition of the Lake-Front as the city may determine. In short, my Dill, if passed, will allow the city to dispose of this preperty without the necessity of another appeal to Congress. ALL I ASE is that my bill be published, together with that of Mr. Aldrich, so that those interested may ‘now what they are talking about. I can only understand how the criticisms in the Chicago papers to which I have referred were uttered by charitably supposing that the authors of those opinions had uot seenor read my Dill." Mr. Aldrich’s bill has been referred to the Secretary of the Interior for report, and a favorably re- Port is anticipated. ILLINOIS.

SYMPATHY FOR THE WOMAN. Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. ‘Wasurnctos, D. C., Jan. 15.—Mrs. Christiancy continues dangerously fll Her physician to- night says: that she is threatened with conges- ton of the brain, as a consequence of the recent. excitoment. Noone is allowed fo see her ex- cept her parents and her brother. Meanwhile, ‘Mr. Christiancy's lawyers are preparing to go on with tho testimony, ‘and this afternoon sub- penas wero issued to a number of persons resident in this city who were expected to give evidence in behalf of Mr. Christinncy. Among them are persons who formerly occupied portions of the house in which Mrs. Christiancy lives. Inter- views have been had to-night with the five per- sons named in the subpenas, and every one of them says that he knows nothing whatever against Mrs. Christiancy, and does not wish to ‘be concerned in the family troubles. It is intl- mated that the attempt will be made to show by these witnesses something relative to Mrs. Christiancy's conduct before marriage, but it is Delicved that all these attempts will be failures, CHRISTIANCY. Be It appears that Mr. Christinucy has been sayed from being thrown out of court solely by the in- tervention of his friends, who have advanced the money necessary to pay the lawyers and tha alimony ordered by the Court. Mdanwhilo, there isa very strong feeling growing agninst Mio Oristiitiey himself, 2n9,nuplie menare now openly saying, that a man, who can confess to such mental.weakness as Christiancy acknowl- edgesin his answer to his wife's bill ought not to he intrusted with an important diplomatic mission, and that, if Mr. Hayes docs not make haste to remove him, his decapitation will be one of the curliest acts of President Gartield. THE BEVORT THAT MRS. CURISTLANCY has been and is now seriously ill turns out, if the latest reports are true, to have uo founda- tion in fact. A gentleman who is thoroughly conversant with the facts inthe case says that she has not been sick at all, baving but a slight nervousness, which ber physician thought could be cured by a perfect rest and a reapit from Visitors. Beyond this he has prescribed only sume simple anodynes, and bas not even paid her a professional visit. Her story of be ing unconscious haif the fime is thus shown to be without foundation. MR, AND MRS, PEYTON, two of the witnesses summoned by Christiancy’s counsel, have been seen to-night, and they say that they will not be able to throw any Meat ‘upon Mrs. Christiancy’s alleged’ escapade with Giro at the St. James Hotel on Christmas Day. ‘They ved at the time at the boarding-house at which Mrs, Christiancy was stopping, and of which Mra, Lugenbell subsequently took charge, but they were not then personally acquainted with Mrs. Christiancy. As there was no common table, they did not meet her at meals, and con- sequently havo no vivid recollection of the event ‘to which allusion has been made, and which Mr. Christiancy is especialiy anxious. to establish. ‘The other two witnesses, both ladies, may be able to tell a different story.

There is a probability that the Demo- crats will signalize tho closing days of. their lease of Congressional power by another notable packdown. PENNSYLVANIA. The opinion prevails here among prominent Pennsylvania politicians of both political parties that Oliver will be nominated for Senator. Speaker Randaliand Senator Walince both say that the bolt of the Grow faction will result not only ina temporary but in a permanent split in the Republican party. Senator Cameron has expressed nearly the same opinion. The idea seems to be that the friends of Mr. Grow have, in taking this laststep, gone so far ag to putthem- selves outside, tho pale, so that hereafter tho Cameron dynasty wil not give them any coun- tenance whatover.

But he didn’t seem to appreciate the condition of affairs, and he worked right ahead, cheerfully whistling ‘ Rory O’More.”” Then it began to get real nice. Then the ear-drivers’ and conductors’ chorus, with the stirring refrain of.“ Perlice,” rang out on the cold and bracing air, and the boys yelled and | ¢, the men cheered, and the women smiled their.
