Mr. Moore, acting as advised, went to o broker named Peterson, who, on hearing what his bld was, advised himto inerenselt to £4,10, a8 thero would have to he ndivision of the prof- its. Peterson wanted 25 cents per ton for his own commlssion, the other 60 conts per ton to Lo placed where it would do the most good, Moore did not believein that kind of business, and, findiug that he could obtain cheap rallroad rates, made another direct bid to supply the conl at S5 per ton. His bid was of course rejected on several pretexts. The rejectlon entalled o loss of $200,000 to the city. Moore threatened toexpose the whole job, but was prevalled upon by theen- treatics and tears of Broker Peterson not to doso, Other damaging testimony was also glven. One witness made admissions which went to show that ho had been tampered with. Now that tio clection Is over, the MeManes ring s likely to get a thorough overhauling, SPEAKER BRAND has announced in the ouse of Commons new awd more stringent riles to prevent obstruction, Ono of the rules provides that whena bill {s declared urgentby n vote of threes to one only the movers of amendments and the member in charge of the LHI shall he heard, Great dis- satistaction is said to exist among private members at tho stringency of thess new rules. This was shown yesterday when Jo- seph Cowen, the Radleal member for New- castle-on-Tyne, gave notice of n motlon, meant in deriston of Mr. Gladstone's course, that nfter a bill wasdeclared urgentit should pass without any diseussion, and M. A, M. Sallivan pave notice that when urgency Is declared tho Preniler should move that no Irish member should be he heard on the auestion. It Is stated that some of the Irish Catholic Mesubers of Parliawent are quite indignant that Mr. Parnell should have held Intercourse with Rochefort and Vietor Hngo during his visit to Parls. One gentlemnn, Cant. Belling- ham, an English Cathollc who represents an Irish county, has written to the London Times 1o denounce the course pursued by Mr. Parnell. Mr, Shaw and the Protestant buacksliders from the 1ome-Rule party may now excuse their defection on the ground that Mr. Parneli Interviewed Louls Vefullot, the Ultramontane journalist. Of all politient humbugs, the politico-religions humbug is the mcanest, Mz, GLADSTONE announced early in yes- terdny’s sitting of the Iouse of Commons that he would move thaf final action be taken on the Irish Coerclon Dill nt o latér hour. Aftarwards, however, he declded to post- vone his motion till Monday. Thero is n growing fecling In England that Mr, Glad- stono’s course towards the 1lome-Rulers is arbitrary and unjust. In consequenco of the actlon of Mr. Gladstone, the Parnellite wem- bers have resolved to uct for the future with the Tories on purely English questions. Tig Rev. Franclsco Barneta engaged twenty-clght German giassblowers at 1lan- bury, Mass,, lastefall, to go with hlm to Cuba to work in a glass factory. Once he hud them thére he failed to pay them tho wages promised, and treated them harsh- ly, ‘They complalned to the author- ities were not listened to, and it was only through the kinduness of tho German Consul at Illavana that they wero ablo to return to this country. What has the American Con- sul at Ilavanan done In the matter? Henr VoN FraNcxesstemny, who was elected ono of the Viee-I'residents of the German Reiehstag Wednesday, Is an Ultra- montane, and one of those who felt so bitterly about the enforcement of the Eccleslastical laws that he refused to attend at tho reopen- lug of the Cologne.

T Sundry Civit Approprintion bitl was adopted by the House Connmittes yestorday. Among other items of the bill are 831,500 to provide for the expenses of thy representa- tives of the United States to the Monotary Conterence at PParis; $20,000 for putlic builtd- fngs In Chicago: §500,000 for completing the censua; $3,475,000 for the exponses of the United States Courts—saluries, fees, support of prisoners, ote.; und $1,500,000 for public printing. - TFuntuenr damaging testimony against the State Warchouso and Raltrond Commisslon- ers was glven yesterday, ‘The conduct of the Chilet Gram-Iuspector was severely critleised, and some of the agsistants were shown to be far above attending to their duties, Mr. A. M. Wright's testimony went to show that o Inrge amount of graln had been diverted from Chicago on account of tho way in which the inspection was con- ducted here, A Coxrenexcr Connnlittee, consisting of twelve men appoluted by the Benver men ‘and twelve men appointed by tho Bayno wien, met ot Harrlsburg last night to try and compromise tho differences between theso rlval factions of tho Pennsylvania Legisla- ture, and to solect some candldate satisfuce tory to both, Ata late hour there was no prospect of agreement.

A number of short speeches were successively made, and by the middle of tho ufternoon It becumo apparent that tho rate of interest on tho new hondswas to bo per cent.

BENATOR BECK MADE A LONG ONSLAUGIT on the Natlonul bunks, sud ndvocatod the Cu listo scction in the fouse blil. Bonutor Walluca deprocatod any compulsory loglstation which would forco tho banks to oontract their loans, Sonator MuDonald fuvured the Curlise sectlon.

IT 18 OF COURSE POSSIILE that, If final nction In the Hennto should bo poste poned until these efghteen absoutces could Lo present, tho action of to-night might be ro- versed. This, however. is hardly probable. Tho expectation now (3 that the Houso may nccept the LIl as §t witl coma from the Senate, In view of the adoption of tho i per cent rate, even withont a conference. The only serlous chango n the Housu 111, thus far, Is the fncronse of the cominisslon ullowed for negotiating tho bonds from 3§ to 44 per cent. The House inade a firm stand for this reduced rnte, and had much to sy of SYNDICATES AND FAT CONTIIACTS, For this renson tho Houso moy it upon a confereniea, Tho (fth scction, na adopted, re- peals thut scction of tho statuto which per- mitted the banks to retire cirenintion Ly only gathoring up theirown notes and presenting thomn at tho Trearury., Under tho old law this was found to bo difficult, and, In many cases, nn imposalbly procedure, the banks baving somne times been compelled to pny n premium upon thelr own notes to sccure possession of them whon desiring to reduco their clreutation. Hefore this ean becomo u law, thore still will remnin o fow days within which the banks inay retire tholr cirenlntion, aud o PP REMAINS TO BE BEEN whethar thoy will, us predicted by somo finan- Ivantngo of tho opportunity, Tho winetdment preseribing the modo of sclecting the bonds to be redeemed from time to time wis ngreed to, ns was also the new scction authorizlng tho Treasury to hold the new botils as securlty for tho clrenlation of the bunks, and providing that only honds bearing Interest should e so held, A debnte followed upon Alllson's amendment providing for the #nle of tho bonds wunder senled proposals, the bIds most wdvantugcous to be accepted. BomeSenators, meludivg Gen, Logan, feared that this might throw the whole loan into the hands of a syndicato or n combinntion of bankers. But the nmendment was agreed to, THE I; DECIDED totnke tinnl n voteupon the Funding bill to-mor- rowat 2 o'clock. There 8 little doubt that the bill, ns It was nereed to to-night in tho Come mitteo of tho Whole, will bo passed. It will then remmin to by scen whethor the House will avcent its own Ul with tho slight chuusres in substance and phrugeology mude by the Senie. It Is believed that the Houso will nut make n serfous cootest on tho extension of time, The provislon increusing the commission which may bo pald for the ncgotlution of the lown will exclte more opposition. But, inns- much us the Senate hos o nearly necepted the bill of the House, it mny be that tho Lower Chamber will ngree to the inodifications without u contest, THE SENATE FINANCIERS have great faith in tho ereditof the Govern- ment. Not content with n il por cent rute, upon motion of Senutor McDonald, uit amendment wus wlopted providing that_the rate should not exceod 3 per cent, Mr. MeDonald cvidently thinks that the loan muy be negotlated at 2 per cent.
