Mr. Randall passed a quiet night, and was thought to be better this morning, His danger les in the recurrence of the hemorrhage. If this can be avoided the doctors think that there 1s nothing else to fear. He 4s still very weak, and must be kept absolutely quiet. A recurrence of the hemorrhage, 1t 1s thought, Would be fatal, Many of ils colleagues tn the House made flying trips to Mr. Randal’s home, which 1s only a few blocks distant from the Capitol, to inquire into his condition, while pazes were sent to and fro by other laembers Who could not go personally to the house. “When the occasion seemed to require, Mr. Lancaste:, the eldest daughter of Mr. Randall, came to the doorway and gave the necessary in? formation to the callers. “She appeared to be much more cheerful than on yesterday, and showed a confident Lellef that. her father would recover from the attack. He rested quietly durin the morning, and took and apparently assimilate Uquid nourishment. “At no ume has he been Unconscious, and that he matntains his interest in outward events Js shown by the fact that he has asked for newspapers, a request which could not, Of course, Le complied With, owing to the rathet alarming’ reports of luls ilies, which appear in the leading columns of the journals. Mrs. Lancaster sald to a Srak reporter that the family felt greatly encouraged by her father’s tm. provement. DE. MARTIN DOES NOT ARRIVE AND DR.

It appears that he1s on a vacation trip and the first telezram summoning him to this city did not reach him, A second telegram was Sent, Dut no response has yet been received. Dr. Lincoln, who was one of the consulting physicians in Gen, Sheridan's case, Was called in this morn- ing at the request of Dr. Mallan, the family phy- Sician, “His diagnosis of the case agreed with that aiready made, and it ts sald that he expressed the ‘opinion that the patient was progressing as lavor- ably as could be expected.» P°STesIne FAVORABLE CONDITION OF THE PATIENT TO-DAY. ‘The result of his visit was apparent in an abate- ment of the anxiety of the family to secure the immediate attendance of Dr. Martin, Altogether they appear to be much encouraged by the favor. able condition of the patient to-day. expectation, howeve Ttis not tw that Mr. Randall will be able to resuine the discharge of bis duties in Con. gress duting the remainder of the session, the in. tenton being to remove him to a quiet place, probably his home at Paoil, Pa, as soon as his condition justifies his removal.

THE APPROPRIATION BILLS. THEY HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY. The Agricultural Bill Passes the House--The P, 0. Bill in the Senate ‘The Senate, Mr. Hale offered a resolution (which was agreed to) directing the Secretary of the Treasury to ‘transmit forthwith the information called for in the resolutions of 1st and 8th May last, relating to the employes of the New York and Baltimore custom-houses, ‘THE CLASSIFIED CIVIL-SERVICE IN WASHINGTON. Also, a similar resolution (which went over un- der objection) giving the like instructions to the Civil-Service Commissioners as to appointments in the classified service in Washington. DISAGREEMENT ON THE SUBSIDY CLAUSE OF THE POST- OFFICE APPROPRIATION BILL. ‘The conference report on the Post-Ofce appro- Priation bill was presented. The item for post- office clerks for unusual business is fixed at $25,000 (Instead of $50,000.) The item as to rent, nght, and fuel tn third-class post-offices 1s re- tained, with a proviso that no con®ract for rent for such post-ofices shall be for more than a year. ‘The item as to postage on seeds 1s fixed so as to ake the postage one cent for every Lwo oUNces. On the amendment known as the subsidy clause the conference committee has been unable to agree. DID NOT BELIEVE THE POSMASTER-GENERAL'S STATE- MENT. After an explanation by Mr. Plumb the report was agreed to, and Mr. Plumb moved that the Senate Insist upon the subsidy amendment and ask for a further conference. As to the Postmaster- General’s statement that the existing postal service to South and Central America was satis- factory, Mr. Plumb saii that, with great respect to that official, he did not believe a word of it. It might be satfstactory to the Post-Omice Depart- — but It Was not satisfactory to t he bu: bite, Pir, Vest asked Mr. Plumb if there ever had been any complaints of want of mail facilities by Americans resident in Central and South America. Mr. Plumb said he thought there had been. Mr. Vest said he had never heard of any. The only complaint he had heard on the subject was, he presumed, from steamship lines already in ex- istence. HOW TO ACQUIRE CUBA. ‘The Department, he sald, now pald 50 cents a mile for the Cuba mails between New York and ‘Tampa, and paid more for steamer transportation between Tampa and Havana than was paid for all ‘the South American and Central American countries, Under this policy with Cuba a system of assuntiation Was golug ontn that island, and, some of these days, the United States would have ‘Cuba by natural process and without war. And tue United States would take possession In the Same Way of all the Soutiern countles, If It Would only apply to them the same rule of postal facillues that it appited at hom Mr. Beck, one of ue Senate conferees, sald he had ho idea that the House would agree to the amendinent, and he did not believe that 1 ought todoso. IV was a subsidy pure and simple. “He read, With favorable comments, tue communica. Uon’ from the Postmaster-General, and declared (hat thi- communication demonstrated that, since the time when subsiuizing was begun 1h Unis country with the Garretson subsidy, the Roach’ supsidy, the "Pacific mall substdy, no trade bad bea built up, and no trade Was tn> tended to be built up. “Tt Was Intended to embar- Tass and injure existing postal regulations, by giving a subsidy to a few men at the public’ex- pense, to the detriment of the pubilc service and Uo the injury of every taxpayer in tne country. ‘THE POSTMASTEX-GRNERAL'S TARIFF SPEECH. Mr. Chace replied to Mr. Beck. He felicitated the Postmaster-General for having embraced the opportunity to make a tariff speech to Congress, As to the Senator from Kentucky (Mr. Beck) he never could address the Senate on any subject without making @ tariff speech.

THE DISAGREEMENT ON THE AGRICULTURAL APPRO- PRIATION BILL, Mr, Hatch (Mo.) submitted a report of disagree- ment on the agricultural appropriation bill, stat. ing that the point of disagreement was the Senate amendment making an appropriation of $100,000 Jor sorghum sugar experiments, Mr. Ryan (Kan,) hoped that the Senate would in- ‘sist upon the aim ending Mr ch said that Congress had appropriated money E Uhese experiments, and that the Com- misston€r of Agriculture had stated that they had been concluded, “Money has been generously ap- propriate, and further atd would be in the nature of a subsidy to the sugar-making tim. It sugar- makers could not now muke sugar [rom sorghum IU Was not because Luey did not have all of tue in- formation Unat the deparunent couid give. Mr. Ryan moved a concurrence iu the Senate amendment.

Weaver (Iowa) and Adams (IIL) favored the appropriation as being in the interests. of agriculture. Mr. Gay (La.) spoke of the desirability of scien- Ulie experiiwents in the production of sugar; and ‘Mr. Yost (Va.) voiced the seatiment of his state in favor of a continuation of the appropriation. ‘Mr. Cannon (Iil.) hoped the amendinent would be concurred in. Mr. Hatch sald that ifthe amendment was con- curred in, it would simply dump $100,000 into the Department of gel and the Commissioner would be required to expend it without uls having made any preparation to do so, THE AGKICULTUKAL APPROPRIATION BILL PASSED.

Gen. Greely Before the Senate Commit- tee on Agriculture. ‘HE DORS NOT THINK THE SIGNAL SERVICE SHOULD BE TRANSFERRED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICUI~ ‘TURE, BUT THINKS THE SCIENTIFIC BUREAUS SHOULD BE CONSOLIDATED. Gen, Greely, Chief of the Signal-Service Bureau, ‘was before the Senate committee on agriculture and forestry this morning to give his views in re- gard to the transfer of the Signal Bureau to the Agricultural Department. ‘Ihe House bill to pro- vide for the enlargement and duties of the Agri- cultural Department contained a section transfer- Ting the Signal Bureau to that department. The ill was reported to the Senate with that section stricken out, but was recommitted, CIVIL-SERVICE RULES NOT GOOD FOR THE SIGNAL SERVICE. Gen. Greeley is opposed to the transfer. He malntatned that it would impair the efficiency of Uhe service, He sald the proposed transfer would subject the Signal Bureau to civil-service rul and he did not believe, in fact, he was sure, thal efficient signal men could not ‘be obtained in that manner, At any rate, they could not be procured promptly enough. For instance, be sald an ob- server at Santa Fé might suddenly resign; ir stead of being able to replace im immediately it would require at least a month to obtain anotber ap- pointee Unrough the etvil service. 4 REORGANIZATION OF THE SIGNAL SERVICE RECOM- MENDED, Gen. Greely said he would recommend a reorgan- zation of the Signal Bureau, a8 he admitted cer- tain defects now existing. He would have four Professors as students of weather changes, &¢: and a number of officers, say twelve, and would recruit the service from graduates of West Point. He would also have one major as assistant to the chief of the bureau, and the necessary number of observers, &, COMMISSIONER COLMAN’S ATTITUDE. In the course of his remarks Gen. Greely charged that Commissioner Colman, of the Agri- cultural Department, had been exerting every in fluence to have the Signal Bureau transferred to his Department. He said that he (Greely) had endeavored to ally the Signal Service more closely with the Agricultural Department, but the Com- missioner could not make any suggestion that would aid in Cater] out that end, He said Com- missioner Colman had conferred with a subordinate of the Signal Bureau in regard to the projected transfer, Senator Plumb retorted that he had conversed with Commissioner Colman in regard to the transfer, and the latter bad said he did not care to have it'made, ‘The Senator said that only a few days ago he met Commissioner Colman, and in ly to a question as io the transfer, he valid in Substance it Was a question for Congress to de- cide, but he did not care to have the Signal Bureau, ator Paddock also remarked that Commis- sioner Colman had appeared, at least, indifferent ‘on the subject. Senator Piumb remarked that the feeling among agriculturists of the West was in favor of having the weather bureau connected with the Agricul- tural Department. He said tals Department had grown steadily despite opposition and ridicule, and that it was rendering better service of more value ‘Lo the people than ever before. CONSOLIDATION SUGGESTED. Gen. Greely suggested that tae scigntific bu- Teaus ought to be consolidated, but said there would be something of incongruity between the Agricultural Department and the Signal Bureau, and if the transfer should be made he would re- main at the bead of the Signal Office only long ‘enough to see It put In the best shape practicable; then he would ask Ube President to relieve bim anc assign him Lo other duty SHOOTING aT A BROKER. Excitement on 15th Street To-day. COL. J.G. TRACY FIRES TWO SHOTS FROM A BULL~ DOG PISTOL AT JOHN B, TANNAR, A BROKER—THE ASSAILANT LOCKED UP. What might have been a serious shooting affair occurred shortiy before noon to-day in the private office of Tanner & Harmon, Brokers, in the Metro- politan National Bank building, on 15th street. Col. J. G. Tracy, of Texas, who figured conspicu- ously in the recent trial of Miss MecBriae, snot twice at John B. Tanner, a member of the firm, but failed to hit him, The two men were alone in the private room discussing business matters, when Tracy drew a 38-caliber pearl-handied bull- dog pistol, and aiming at Tanner's head, fired. The bullet passed close to his head and struck the safe, and some grains of power were imbedded in his leftear, Tanner, Who Was seated in the office chair, jumped up and grabbed his arm as be was about to pull the trig- ger a second time, The pistol was discharged, but the ball weat wide of the mark. Tanner his assailant, ed in and assistance, en by two policemen to the first precinct station Louse, Where he was locked up on a charge of assault and battery with intent to kill, THE CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE. When seen in nis cell by a Stan reporter Col. Tracey said that he had been unjustly arrested; Uhat Tanner did the shooting, and when the police arrived he delivered up his own (Tanner's) pistol and charged that he had taken It away from him (Tracey). He said that he had been’ doing busi- hess With the firm, and that they had robbed him of $1, which he had invested. He asked T: er to carry him for $200 more Which he refused, He became angry, he sald, and called Tanner a Har, When the latter shot at hun twice. Col. Tracy is fMfty-four years old, about meuium height, abd was to-day dressed neatly in a pepper-and-salt suit and a large straw hat. His hair ts tinged with gray, fs 18 is moustache. He came from Texas two or Lhree years ago, and since he has been here, he sald, he has lost about $6,000 in bucket shops.’ In ‘texas he was a newspaper man, and at one time was United States marshal. “] tought a duel once,” sald the colonel, Aud killed your man?” asked the Star reporter. No,” was the reply, laughing for the first ume. “I missed him and he’ inissed, too, and then we settied tne trouble.” Col, Tracy was very indignant at being locked up. Heclalmed tuat he had done nothing, and his rights as an American citizen had been ruth- lessly trampled upon. WHAT MR. TANNRR SAYS. Mr. John B, Tanner was seen by Tot Stak man shortly after the shooting, and when told Tracy's version of the affair, laughed good humorediy. He polnted to the powder in his ear asa silent witness of the shooting, and sai never owned a pistol and had no idea that Tracy was going to shoot at me, He Was $200 short in bis account, and when we asked for a settlement he wrote asking us to carry him “longer. ‘This we declined, When he calied at tue office we went into the pri- vate room to discuss Ube situation. He said, ‘I Want you to settle this matter.” “Well, 1Us for you to settle 1t, colonel,” I re- tea for I was perfectly good hu- bi about It. ‘I will settie it, he exclaimed excitedly, and drawing nis pistol fired at my head. It’s a wonder that he missed me, for he was only a few feet dis- tant.” ‘There were no witnesses to the shooting, but the police are satisfied as to who handied the pistol, Sa eS are River and Harbor Improvements.
