Mr. Butterworth (Ohio), from the committee on patents, prosented a favorable report upon the bill providing for the appointment of rep- resentatives on the part of the United States to the international industrial conference at Mad- rid, Spain, April 1, 1890. Mr. Rogers (Ark.) objected to its considera- tion, although Mr, Butterworth declared that the effect would be to deny the United States representation at the conference. r, Rowell (Ill.), chairman of the committee on elections, gave notice that he would call up the West Virginia contested election case of Atkinson vs. Pendleton for consideration next jesday, THE CALL OF COMMITTEES, Under the call of committees Mr. Adams (IIl.), from the judiciary committee, called up the bill to divide the judicial district of North Da- kota into four divisions, the sessions of the courts to be held at Bismarck, Grand Forks, Fargo and Devil's Lake, The bill was passed, as was a corresponding Senate bill, with amendments providing for the division of Southern Dukota into three divi- sions—sessions of the courts to be held at Sioux Falls, Pierre and Deadwood. Mr. Grimes (ee), from the gunioty, com- mittee, called up the bill to create the eastern division of the northern federal judicial dis- trict, and it was passed with a few amendments, Mr. Sherman (N.Y.), from the same commit- tee, called up the bill to provide for terms and places of holding United States courts in the district of Minnesota and it was also Passed, with an amendment, Mr. Reed (Iowa), in behalf of the judiciary committee, called up the bill to regulate the sit- tings of the United States courte in the district of South Carolina and it was passed. Cutcheon (Mich.), from the mili- Mr. tary committee, d up the bill authorizii the President to confer brevet rank upon army officers for gallant services in Indian campaigns since 1867. At his request the Senate bill of the same title was substituted fer the House bill and passed. APPLAUSE ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE, During an intermission in the call of com- mittees Mr. O'Neill (Pa.) caused some ap- plause on the republican side by announcing, Foes giedire aot of tee Soosker to silence Un &@ republican present been elected. to sue inks Bepresen succeed the Representati Kelley es majority se in pro) rs an! r Kelley received in 1888, At 1:25 o'clock the House went into com- mittee of the whole, Mr. Payson (IIL) in the Upon motion of Mr. LX.) the oon- rari oc sideration of the Senate the appointment of an assistant of war nr Blunt (Ga) did not agree with those who held ‘that there should be a larger degree of tially military and transacted trained military officers, = ef Cony gen ver ont tatters cogs number, magnitufie and importance his ies in connection with the military establishment. Mr, Breckinridge (Ky.) suggested that dur- ing the war there were two civilian assistant secretaries in the War department and the ex- periment was found to work ex ingly well, Mr. Chipman (Mich.) opposed the bill. There was no dissatisfaction with the conduct of river and harbor or bridge works at present. As to the pension division of the department he would use the bone 3 which would be needed under this bill for the employment of additional clerks and surgeons, in order that the shamefal delay in the determination of pension claims shor cease, In the judgment of Mr. McAdoo (N.J.) the bill does not go far enough. He would have civilians in charge of all the non-mil bu- reaus of the department. At West Point men were educated to command men, and why should they be given the buying of pork, sad- dles and horses and the dealing out of coffee and sugar when they graduated. THE OKLAHOMA BILL. The bill was favorably reported from the committee of the whole to the House, and on motion of Mr. Struble (Iowa) the Oklahoma Dill wad taken up. THE SEARCH FOR SILCOTT. The Female Companion of His Flight Visits Washington. THERE BEING NO CHARGE AGAINST HER SHE COULD NOT BE DETAINED, BUT A DETECTIVE HAS GONE WITH BER, HOPING TO FIND THE DEFAULTER— LAST SEEN SEEKING PASSAGE TO CHINA. A detective last night left Washington with Miss Thiebault, Silcott’s companion in his flight from this city, and will keep close to her in hopes of coming up with Silcott in that way. Sergeant-at-Arms Lecdom was informed that Miss Thiebault was to visit Washington yester- day and knew of her arrival. He consulted with the District attorney to see if she could be detained, and found that there was nothing to hold her on, Mr. Leedom got a letter from a United States detective at Victoria yesterday stating that he had seen Silcott there on the 18th of January, and that he thought he had seen him the night before the letter was written. The detective knew Silcott the first time he saw him, but was not so certain of the identity of the man he saw at the latter date. He thought it was Siicott and that he had changed his appearance. ‘The let- ter states that when Silcott was there on the ce of January he was seeking passage to ma, Arrangements were made today for the con- sideration of the Silcott defalcation case in the Court of Claims on March 4. THE BANK OFFICIALS WOULD NOT TELL. It was stated today that one purpose of Herminie Theibault’s visit to Washingtonyester- day wasto draw asum of money she had on deposit at the National savings bank, A Star reporter called at the Nationul savings bauk this afternoon and asked the paying teller whether Herminie Thiebault had called there yesterday for the purpose of drawing out money that she had deposited there. The pay- ing teller said that the officials of the bank had been instructed to answer no questions and he would say nothing on the matter, REDUCING THE REVENUE. The Ways and Means Committee Pro- pose to Cut Off About $60,000,000. The majority of the ways and means com- mittee are constructing their tariff bill with the view of making a reduction of $60,000,000 in the revenue. In view of the close proximity of estimated expenditures to the amount of revenue expected to be collected it is proposed to suspend the operation of the sinking fund act, which takes an approvriation of about | $40,000,000 each year. It is proposed to repeal the tobacco tax and a cut of about 30 per cent is likely to be made on the sugar duty. This sugar question is not yet settled, the desire being to take off all the duty and in’ deference to the demands of the sugar men that they shall continue to be protected itis likely that the 30 per cent reduction is all that will be made, THE WORLD’S R CAMPAIGN. Preparations for ‘the Coming Contest in the House. The leaders in the world’s fair movement were taking advantage yesterday of the dull- ness on the floor of the House to confer with one another in regard to the details of the pro- ceedings when the world’s fair bills come up in the House. Mr. Candler, the chairman of the special committee, will have charge of the allotment of time among the speakers, He proposes to give the friends of each of the four cities an ample and impartial opportunity to present the claims of their respective cities, and will also give time to THE OPPONENTS OF ANY WORLD'S FAIR PROJECT to present their views. The principal opposi- tion comes from Texas and some of the other southern states and from democratic members in Indiana, but Mr. Candler says that he is receiving letters from all parts of the country enthusiastically in favor of a world’s fair and that he believes the sentiment of the House will be very strongly in favor of a fair. He conferred yesterday with Messrs, Mills and McMillen, two of the principal ‘opponents of the project, and assured them that they would be givena fair share of time in the debate. ‘There is some question with regard to whether or not a vote will be taken in the House upon the advisability of holding a world’s fair atall prior to the selection of a site. THE LANGUAGE OF THE RESOLUTION adopted by the House is ambiguous upon this point, and it is likely thatthe matter will de- pend upon the strength showa in debate by the opponents of the fair. Mr. Hitt (Ill.), at the request of Mr. Springer, the democratic mem- ber of the world’s fair committee from Llinois, will take charge of the interests of Chicago on the floor and’will make the apportionment of the time allowed to the friends of the Lake City. Mr. Flower said he thought New York would make a good show when the vote came. THE DISTRICT IN CONGRESS.

He Thinks Cleveland and Reform Will Sweep the Land Next Time. Cutcaco, Feb. 19.—The Times this morning prints a column interview on the political situation with Col. Wm. F. Vilas, late Secretary of the Interior. The article speaks of bim as Mr. Cleveland's friend and confidant. Asked if, in his opinion, the discussions of the campaign of 1888 strengthened or weakened the cause of tariff reform, Col. Vilas replied: --Unquestion- ably it strengthened it. No man can review the history of political discussion in this country and deny that the people understand and accept argument and are governed in their action by | their judgment. It may happen at times, as in the last campaign, that the secret and corrupt use of vast sums of money, combined with sectional hate or some ephermeal frenzy can snatch away a doubtful state or turn the scale of a close contest, But this cannot be when the people eithe= fail to understand or fail to act according to sound argument. ‘The coptrary is well established by the returns of 1856, tariff reform having made gains and progress wher- ever discussion was most plentious and failing ere acemment, necessarily moves slowly to me reach of all.” “The same, it will have on the power of healthy, vigorous youth,” wes CoL Vilas’ answer, when questioned as to the effect, the lapse of four years would have on the sentiments of the voters with reference to the tariff issue. ‘And surely,” continued he, “the battle of 1892 will be fought on the same issue. It 1s my opinion that by that time the democrats can sweep the country on that issue if the right | men are nominated for President and Vice President. Upon having his attention called to the administration of Mr, Cleveland and asked if he thought the future would regard it {avor- ably he said, after some explanatory remarks: “I don’t hesitate to say it ought to be so.” Col, Vilas took an encouraging view of the outlook for the democrats in Wisconsin this j early deali FOUGHT LIKE BULLOCKS. Sage Give Up and Escape His Medicine, ‘Bax Faaxcisoo, Feb. 19.—Over 2,000 enthusi- estic wpectators at the California athletic club last night witnessed the great battle between eek Dempsey and Billy MoCarthy.

In the second caught McCarthy mpily ta as pee aad Renate ee rific right-hander on the body. In the third McCarthy caught another left-hander in the chin, which Dempsey followed up with a good blow on the ribs. In the fourth MeCarthy fol- lowed Dempsey cleverly, but the Non) waited his opportunity and his left soou found the Australian's neck half a dozen times with- outareturn. In the fifth Dempsey landed on the body, but got three sharp blows on the ear from McCarthy. In the sixth McCarthy opened with a vicious upper cut, which fell short, In the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth Mo Carthy made nimble efforts to plant big bi but failed, every time catching punish: from Dempsey. In the ninth, however, Mo- Carthy landed a very pretty quick turn om Jack's nose. The fifteenth round closed without any defi- nite result, The sixteenth was the liveliest round up to that time. Dempsey landed onthe Australian's body and jaw about as he pleased and at the close McCarthy was groggy. Demp- sey repeated this punishment in the seven- h, and, thongh he st the blows he rained on his neck, he was able to score a knock-down. The eighteenth Was a repetition of theseventwenth, The mine- teenth toz the twenty-second rounds were not conclusive. In the twenty-third round Me- Carthy continued to fight stubbornly, bat Dempsey was able to avoid blows and to run his antagonist hard before the round closed, The fight proceeded in about this same style until the twenty-cighth round, when McCarthy was knocked out, In the twenty-sixth round Dempeey went im in earnest to finish hisman. Three or four terrific right and left-hand blows on the Aus- tralian’s neck made the latter stagger around the ring hke @ drunken man, and Dempsey continued to rain blows on his neck, but he kept his fect until the Nonpareil, in pity for his victim, asked Lim to give up, MeCarthy re- fused and Dempsey touk bim by the arm and led him to bis corner amid cheers. In the twenty-seventh round McCarthy was just able to stand. A dlow in the face sent him down, He arose and Dempsey again sent him down, Dempsey then begged him to give up. Me- Carthy still refused and Dempsey struck bim lightly as he came up again. He fell, but rose in eight seconds, and Dempsey knocked him down a fourth time. He staggered to his feet to save a knock-out and the round closed. McCarthy was led to his corner covered with blood amid loud cries to give up the fight, When McCarthy staggered to the center of the ring for the twenty-cighth round Dempsey implored him to give up. Mingled cries of “Knock him out Jack” and “Give it up Me- Carthy” were heard on all sides, The Austra- lian refused to acknowledge himself defeated and Dempsey beat him into his corner and sent him down in a heap. He arose and leaned against the ropes for support. Dempsey walked up to finish him, but instead he stepped up to the referee and declared he had not the heart to punish the man any further. Paddy Gorman, McCarthy's second, then broke into the ring and dragged his man into his corner and refused to permit him to stay in the fight any longer. Dempsey was then formally de clared the winner of the tight, es Wall Street Today.
