Ker to show cause why they should not be disbarred. ‘The motion recites their admission to the bar here, and states “that they have, on sundry and divers occasions, both privately and publicly, maligned, villined and slandered the judges and members of the bag, and declared tt im- possible to secure an impartial jury in the District, thereby placing a stigma upon the entire body ol the citizens of ‘the cause or provocation.” ‘At the conclusion of the reading of the paper, Judge Wylie sald that the motion was not as to any case before the court, and he could not enter- tain it. Mr. Jackson said he simply desired to file it. ‘The judge declined to entertain the paper. a ‘The Kellogg Investigation.

On motton of Mr. Morsison (IIL) the order for an evening sessfon to-night was vacated. THE CHINESE IMMIGRATION ACT. ‘The House then, on motion of Mr. Lamb (Ind.), 11:15, Went into committee of the whole (Mr. Cox, of New York, in thie chair) on the bill amending the Chinese immigration act, and Mr. Heniey (Cal.) spoke at length in support of the bill, which he said ‘Was the Joint product of the delegatfons from Cal- lfornia, Oregon, Nevada and from Arizona and Washington Territorfes. Congress could no noth- ing nobler than to declare that in no event should the laboring classes of America be subjected to the degradiag contact and ruinous gompetition with the yellow skinned Faces of the ¢ ‘Mr. George (Oregon) spoké in favor of the bill. Br. Hilce (Masa) opposed the bill. He undertook to say that It added no single barrier whatsoever to the incoming of the Chinesa. Who showed best, the disciples of Confucius, who 450 years before the Christian era had dectared “do not do to others which you would not wish them to doto you,” or those who Wear the sign of Jesus of Nazareth, though he feared they did not always exhibit the spiritof the Master in theiracts. R BAD PLACES EVRRYWHRRE—RVEN IN WASHINGTON. ‘Mr. Budd (Cala.), inquired whether the gentle- man did not know that the Chinese had no regard for their daughters; that they did not even give them names; that they sold them into prostitu- a that they sold their wives amd killed their r Mw Rice replied that ke had not known more than half of that before. He did know thatgthere Were many bad places in the world, some in China, some in San Francisce, some in New York, some,’ mM a very slight depron, in Washington. ‘The Dill was intended to éXclude English Chinese from the United States. Where was the treaty right todo that? How long would England keep her fron-clads from bombarding our cities if the United States should “refuse to her subjects, Chinese though they were, the right to setfoot on our shores? Mr. Glasscock (Cala.), In a Drief speech, defended the bill from Mr. Rice’s criticisms. ‘Mr. Sumner (Cala.), sald that the purpose of the Dill was to perfect the law enacted two cere Bg, and remedy the defects which were found to exist in it; and defended the propriety of tat legislation on moral and religious grounds. The District in Congress. THE FREE BRIDGE BILL. The free bridge bill as finally agreed upon will be Teported to the Senate Monday. As stated in Tue Svar, It authorizes the payment of $125,000 for a fee simple ttle to the aqueduct, bridge if ivcan be Made in ninety days; if not abridge 1s to be built at the Three Sisters to cost not exceeding $220,000. Capitol Topics. BIDS AND BONDS OF STAR ROUTE CONTRACTORS. Second Asststant Postmaster General Lyman has sent to Mr. Springer copes of the bids and bonds of the contractors for the star routes. Some of the bonds appear to be of doubtful worth. One of these of Mr. McDevitt, who was sent to the penitentlary for fraud in his contracts, 1s certified to by Post- Inaster Snowden, of Philadelphia. THE M’KINLEY-WALLACE CONTEST. ‘The contested election case of McKinley vs. Wal- lace (Ohlo) will probably be voted upon by the House committee on elections on Monday. The sub-committee will report to the whole committee, as already stated in Tne Sra, in favor of Mr. Mc- Kinley’s claim, Mr. Robertson (Ky.) having voted ‘with the republicans. The democrats of the com- | mittee say that the final vote will not be effected by their report, and that the majority report of the whole committee will be in favor of Mr. Wallace. one other democrat would vote for him, giving him @ majority of one. ‘This, nowever, is not consid— ered likely, as it 1s claimed to be'known that all the democrats of the committee except Robertson are in favor of Wallace's claim. ‘There will be two reports made to the House in this case—the ma- jority for Wallace and the minority McKinley. It is thought that the House will sustain the action of ‘the democrats In the committee. PRORPRCT OF TARIFF LEGISLATION IN THE SENATE. ‘The probability of the Morrison bill passing the | House invests it with some interest in the Senate. Its chances in the latter body are occasionally dis- cussed among Senators. Tne prevailing tmpres- sion seems to be that neither the Morrison bill, nor any other interfering with the tariff, could go threugh the Senate at the present session, but there are Senators who contend that such a’ measure would pass. Senator Van Wyck believes that if the House sends over a tariff reduction bill it will receive the approval of the Senate. CONFIRMATIONS AND A REJECTION. ‘The Senate in executive session yesterday con- firmed the following nominations:—Henry W. Can- non, of Minnesota, to be controller of the currency. Stephen MofMit, of New York, to be collector of cus- toms for the District of Champlain, N.Y. Charles H. Stell, of Kentucky, to be collector of internal revenue for the seventh ‘district of Kentucky. ‘The nomination of Samuel ‘Thompson, of Birmingham, Ala., to be postmaster at Birmingham, Ala., was rejected. ‘VANDALISM AT THE CAPITOL. For several days past an artist has been employ- ed at the Capitol repairing the damage to fhe varl- ous statues and works of art done by relic hunters. On one statue a finger had to be supplied, on an- Other a to, and some reverent vandal even stole a piece of the marble which represents the Father of his Country. ‘MINOR NOTES. ‘The Senate was not in. session to-day. In the contested election case of English Peelle, of Indiana, a sub-committee consisting of Messrs. Converse,’ Hart, and Elliott to-day, by a majority vote decided to report to the full commit tee in favor of Mr. English. ‘The Missourl delegation in the House held a meeting to-day to protest against the action of the river and harbor committeein cutting down the ap- propriation for the Missouri river. ‘They have been awarded by that committee a little over haifa taillion, while they asked for a million dollars. A Cryptographical Prize. MR. _EPRINGER'S COMMITTEE IN POSSESSION OF A CYPHER EECORD SUPPOSED TO CONTAIN A MAGA- ZINE OF FRAUD. A curious account book, kept by Deputy Marshal Brown, of the western district of Pennsylvania, has been discovered, and 1s now in the hands of Chatr- man Springer. It is a large book, of over four hun- red closely written pages, all in cypher, most re- markable and ingentous, and is supposed to contain a history of all the transactions of the marshal’s office during his term, relating more particularly to the famous Robert's torpedo cases. It contains, also, copies of the correspondence between Brown and‘ number of the court officials at Pittsbui when translated, it 1s expected, will mi some damaging disciousuresof crookedness, ‘There are arbitrary forms for dates, whlch it is quite easy to decipher, but the rest 1s perfectly unintelligible.
