Crt¥ oF Mexico, Dec. 2.—Spectators at a bull fight in this city yesterday became disgusted because the bulls refused to fight. They showed their displeasure by pitching chairs into the arena. The lice and soldiers were powerless to stop the disturbance. Many of the audience were struck and injured by boards being hurled against them. Before the disturb- ance was quieted the spectators had kicked out the sides of the plaza, torn out its floors and Jeft it in a wrecked condition.

C., A Coup de Etat in the House This After- noon, — The striking episode of the day in the House of Representatives occurred when the nomina- tions were made for the minor offices, Mr. Henderson, as chairman of the caucus, pre- sented the names of the officers and chaplain nominated by the republican caucus—Mo- Pherson for clerk, Holmes for sergeant-at- arms, Adams for doorkeeper, Wheat for post- master and Rev. Dr. Ramsdell for chaplain. Mr. Cheadle at this point bolted the caucus on the chaplaincy and proposed to strike out the name of Dr. Ramsdell and insert that of the blind democratic chaplain, Rev. Mr. Mil- burn, The democrats then renominated the officers of the last House hoop 4 the chaplain. A vote was taken and then division was de- manded. Three or four republicans voted with the entire democratic side for Dr. Milburn. The amendment was not carried on this vote, anda division was demanded. The vote b tellers resulted in the adoption of the amend- ment substituting the name of Dr. Milburn, by 161 ag to 154 nays, Mr. Perkins (Kan.) moved a reconsideration. A division on the reconsideration resulted in a vote of 151 yeas to 143 nays. The vote was then taken by tellers. The controversy raged without cessation through acouple of attempts to call for the yeas and naysund two endeavors to securea verdict through the medium of tellers, The last vote by tellers resulted in tempor- ary victory, at least, perching upon the ban- ner of Miburn, for the vote was 161 to 154 in his favor. ‘Then Baker (N.¥.) and Houk (Tenn. ) demanded the yeas and nays and they were ordered. Milburn was finally selected as chaplain by a vote of 166 to 155, . sf LEADERS OF THE HOUSE. Scenes at the Opening of the New Session. Everybody in the galleries was asking every- body else in their neighborhood to point out the Maine giant, but the Speaker-elect was not there and did not appear until just before his name was reached in the roll-call, when he came in quietly and took his old seat, The defeated speakership caudidates were on hand. Gen. Henderson was moving about as actively as was consistent with the possession of s leg of oak andreceiving so many friendly handshakes that he might have posed for asuc- cessful rather than adefeated candidate. Mr. McKinley was in his old seat, as calm and digni- fied as when he received the congrat- ulation of his colleagues after his tariff speech. Mr. Cannon tilted back and forth in his chair with his arms folded across his chest. A brisk horseback ride in the coun- try the morning after the caucus hadshaken off the despondency of disappointed ambition and the usual amiable smile played about the corners of his eyes, while his thin lips were drawn close together. Mr. Burrows moved about the hall, with his inimitable and never-failing smile, and the cor- diality of his hand grasp had not relaxed since his defeat, ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE. When Mr, Carlisle appeared in the House a few minutes before the Fifty-first Congress was called to order his colleagues gathered about him asaleader, Mr. Mills took his old seat, four seats back on the second aisle. Mr. Carlisle took the seat in front of him and the two leaders of their party were kept in conver- sation with first this and that member until order was called at 12 o’clock.A bunch of flowers was placed on the desk of Mr. Randall, but he was not there. He was unable to be present on the first roll call of the new Congress, and very general regret was felt, regardless of what any man’s views may be on the tariff. The demo- erats want Randall in his full strength with them during the session. MANY BASKETS AND BUNCHES OF FLOWERS were scattered about upon the desks, The most elaborate designs were presented to Mr. J. H. McCarthy, the new member from New York, who enjoys the distinction of being the smallest man in the House, He was presented with a “life” size chair and a shoe, exaggerated horse surmounted by star, th inscription on which designated him as the little giant. An immense tree of roses was placed on the desk in front of Mr. J. D, Taylor, who is a bridegroom of two days. A man-of-war (of the fleet in the war of roses) was placed on the desk in front of Mr. Houk, A small bunch of flowers and a tree of roses was on the desk before Mr. Reed ia the hall, and in front of the Speaker's chair was a handsome basket of flowers. Two haudsome baskets were presented to Mr. N. P. Banks, the ex-Speaker of many years ago, who today takes a new lease on political life. Mr. Lodge sat proudly behind a basket of roses, pink and red and yellow. Mr. Scranton could hardly be seen through the screen of flowers before him. CAPITOL TOPICS. ‘THE VOTE FOR SPEAKER. Neither Mr. Reed nor Mr. Carlisle voted on the ballot for Speaker. Others not voting were O'Neill of Indiana, Whitthorne, Haynes of Ohio, Wilbur of New York, Amos J. ‘Cummings, whose certificate was not in due form, and 8, J. Randall, Mr. Cowles (N.C.) startled the House by vot- ing for Amos J, Cummings for Speaker. Mr. O'Neil (Pa.) announced that Mr. Randall and Mr. Wilber were MeMillin an- Lert Mr, nounced that Mr. Whitthorne was seriously ill. ‘The whole number of the votes cast was 321, of which Reed got 166, Carlisle, 154, and Cum- mings, 1. ‘The announcement of the result was received with prolonged applause in the galleries and ou the floor. THE EXPOSITION STRUGGLE has begun, The first note was sounded in the Senate this morning, when Senator Aldrich in- troduced a resolution providing for the ap- pointment of a committee of nine Senators to whom should be re- ferred all matters pertaining to the Columbus centennial of ‘92. ‘Those Senators who are posted as to the probabilities say that this matter will come up at once and will occupy a good deal of valuable time in both branches of Congress, Senators not trom New York, Illinois or Missouri are as yet chary of expressing their preferences as to the location of the exposition and are waiting to hear what each of the competing cities has to say for itself, while those who are directly interested in the success of New York,Chicago or St. Louis are looking in every direction for arguments that will be able to look reputable alongside of Washington's claim, ABSENTEES, The three absentees in the House today were O'Neill of Indiana, Randall of Pennsylvania, Whitthorne of Tennessee. The clerk of the House stated that he had not received certifi- cates of election from the sixth, ninth and twenty-seventh districts of New York. THE CHOCTAW CLAIM CASE. Decision by the District Supreme Court Today. In the Court in General Term today Justice Hagner delivered the opinions of the court in the cases growing out of the controversy over the fees for prosecuting the Choctaw claims case, Mr. Henry E. McKee, es agent for the Choctaws, drew several bundred thousand of dollars from the Treasury, and ex-Marshal Lamon cluiming @ lien on the award filed a bill for an injunction, &c. Chiet Justice Bingham made an order directing McKee to pay $136,500 into the rigistry of the court. This McKee did not do and an appeal was filed by his counsel, The court now holds that this order was beyond the jurisdiction of the court. Judge Cox made an order for McKee’s commitment for contempt in failing to comply with Chief Justice Bingham’s order and an appeal was entered which is now dismissed. Ex-Senator Doolittle’s appeal from the order of the Equity Court in refusing to admit him as party defendant was also thus sustaining the court below. In the cases of McKee agt Cochran, Gilfillan, Rollins, Scott, in which McKee offered to pay the sum he claimed due defendants into court and that they be required to establish their rights, » cross bill was filed and dismissed below and an appeal taken, The court affirms the dismissal, holdiug that the motions are already before the court and the bill does not set forth such a trust as they could enforce.

The estimate for the executive office is in- creased @1,400, of which 1,200 is for an as- sistant inspector of buildings, who shall also be inspector of elevators, An increase of $200 is asked for to the salary of theclerk to the build- ing inspector. In the collector's office esti- mates is one of $2,000 for a deputy col- lector. Two additional inspectors of streets and sewers are provided for at $1.200 each.

He says: “The appropriations heretofore made for salaries of teachers have been, in form, very unsatisfactory both to the officers of the public schools and to the accounting officers.” It is recommended that the appropriation for fees of the United States marshal be increased from $1,400 to $2,000, as the fees of the marshal in said court have each year since 1883 ex- ceeded $1,400. It is also recommended that the appropriation for ianee of the peace act- ing as judge of the Police Court be not limited to . For years past suits have been brought to recover the difference between the amount appropriated and the amount due, The costs taxable against the city and the interest recovered have added largely to the expense. THE DISTRICT MILITIA.

The water department will cost, it is esti- mated, $234,474.18, or about $1,000 less than in the current year, The total salaries and con- tingent expenses are estimated at $175,127. akan Sais WHAT THE GOVERNMENT COSTS.

MR. Ross’ VIEWS, Mr. Samuel Ross of the firm of Barber & Ross of this city told a Stan reporter that the blockade was assuming alarming proportions; that it was impossible for dealers in this city to Ret their freight, and that building was at a standstill for the reason that no material could be obtained. He said that he was of the im- Pression that the attitude of the railroad com- pany is taken as measure of retaliation in consequence of the war carried on against the company by citizens of South Washington, or else the Pennsylvania railroad company was interested in securing the world’s fair for New York and was trying to show that Washington had not the means for handling a large amount of freight, MR, JOHNSON LOOKING FOR HIS FREIGHT. Mr. E. Kurtz Johnson was found in consulta- tion with Supt, McKeever of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad company. He said toa Sram reporter that he had been looking after some freight which was consigned to him in Septem- ber, which thus fas he had been unable to get. He said further that he thought the attitude of the railroad company was unwarranted and hoped the meeting which takes e tonight would accemplish some good, as the situation bes yecoent caibactaness business to a large ex- ni WHAT THE RAILROAD MEN SAY. Superintendent McKeever said that the situa- tion was better than it had been for a long time. He said that he attributed the blockade, in the ee to the large increase in the freight handled and the want of proper facili- ties in this city to unload it. le said even now his company had cars blocked up outside of the city unable to come in. Mr. J. G, Searles, the division freight agent of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad com- pany for this section of the country, was of the opinion, so he told a Star reporter this morn- ing, that the situation was better than it had been for some time. He said that the difficulty was undoubtedly due, in the first place, to the increase in the amount of freight and the want of proper facilities in this city for unloading the same. He said further that it was a fact that the railroad company had issued orders to their agents all over the country not to take any heavy freight for this city; but that this action was based upon the fact that they al- ready were over-crowded and could not de- liver that which they had on hand. Regarding the statement that the Pennsylvania railroad company were holding freight for the purpose of separ | legislation regarding the right of way into the city, he said he considered that all foolishness; that the railroad company was losing money every day, decreasing their rev- enues, and thatit was hardly reasonable to think that ened would lose so much money for the accomplishment of so little good. Mr. J. W. Chesley, the freight agent of the B. and O. R. R., said that his railroad was fast getting into shape, and with the exception of a few curs consigned in October that they were uptodate, He said he hoped the blockade would be over in a little while, secre tlie DASHED TO DEATH. Shocking Suicide of Frank MacArthur While Temporarily Insane. Mr. Frank MacArthur, a son of ex-Justice Arthur MacArthur, jumped from the congres- sional limited on the Pennsylvania road last evening and was instantly killed. Mr. Mac- Arthur was a well hnown young man of this city, where his father has been for so long a time connected with the courts of the District and where he him- self was raised and educated, He graduated from the academic department of Harvard uni- versity in the class of "76 and afterward studied law in this city and was admitted to the bar. He afterward removed to New York city, where he opened a law office in partner- ship with a Mr. Townsend. Three years ago Mr. MacArthur was married to Miss Winston of thia city and they had one child, a boy, now about eighteen months old. BUSINESS TROUBLES PRODUCE TEMPORARY IN- SANITY. Lately Mr. MacArthur had had considerable business trouble, which, in connection with ill health, rendered him subject to temporary fits of insanity. This has all been of very recent occurrence, Judge MacArthur was valled to New York by telegram a few days ago and found his son a mental wreck. The young man was harassed with the idea that every one was his enemy and secking to destroy him. It was found necessary to keep him constantly under a close watch to prevent him from ing himself. It was thought that rest and achange of scene might bring about a change for the better and yesterday afternoon he started for this city under the care of his father, ‘The two had seats in the rear end of the second car of the vestibule train and in the same car with them were Justices Field and Harlan of the U.S. Supreme Court, Colonel Ochiltree, Mr. John Chamberlin and Mr. O. D. LaDow, Secretary Rusk’s private secretary. Mr. MacArthur seemed nervous and restless and his sather kept him in the seat beside him, holding his hand and seeking to dixabuse his mund of the worrying fancies that possessed it, THE FATAL LEAP FROM A RAILROD TRAIN. As the train passed Baltimore Mr. MacArthur seemed to become more quiet, but his father never fora moment relaxed his watchfulness, The train was a few minutes behind time and was whirling along at a very rapid rate as it approached the bridge over the Patuxent river. At this point Mr, MacArthur. eluding his father’s vigilance, made a dash for the rear platform of the car, and,throwing open the ves- tibule door, leaped out to certain death, It all happened so quickly that no one was able to doanything to prevent him, Mr. LaDow, who had seen all that had happened, pulled the bell rope atonce and the train was slowed up as soon as possible. When the body was found it was lying in a small ravine and so HORRIBLY MANGLED that there could be little doubt that death must have been almost in- stantaneous. The body was placed in the carand brought to this city, When the train reached tne 6th street depotastretcher was procured and the body was taken into the bag- ageroom. As the death occurred in Mary- oes tcere-pus coins idsal ecoar removing the body, but Coroner Patterson was summoned by telephone and immediately gave permission for its removal to the family residence, at the corner of 12th and N streets, Dr. Z. T. Sowers, the famil; | estingere gave the following certificate of death: Primary cause, acute insanity, due to business complica- tions, of about a woek's duration; second, in- ay anaes by jump from the car while in rapid motion, MacArthur's mother, who is in Boston, was immediately notified of the sad occurrence and is expected to reach this city tomorrow morning. His wife will arrive from New York this afternoon. The final arrangements for the funeral will not be made until they are here. sch sna hnsncin carried off some clothing. W. F.
