New York, March 22.—The commissioners of emigration were busy this morning getting everything into shape for the members of the congressional committee on emigration, who are expected to visit Castle Garden during the day and inquire into the methods of the recep- tion, care and disposition of emigrants there. The committee also intended ony to make a trip around the harbor in quest of a site for anew immigrant landing depot on the revenue cutter Chandler, but it is doubtful whether the trip will be made today owing to the rain pour. eee What Bishop Esher May Do.

The bill will be reported to the Senate on Monday and plased on the calendar. This change of heart on the part of the Senate com- mittee was something of a surprise, even to the committee itself. Heretofore the “north end” legislators have insisted that 9th street and Pennsylvania avenue was no for® public building, while the House folke have been equally positive that no other site was haitae goat ue fight assumed uppearance when the Postmaster General noc age that the be located in a proposed Post Office de ent building. This ment was not, however, ads with car for it was segned oes the H aegeerg wo! eventually crow city office out, as it did years ago, * ‘THE MEETING THIS MORNIXG. This morning the Senate committee decided to settle the affair. A somewhat lengthy dis- cussion followed and the various arguments for and against the sites previously men- tioned were made plain. It was evi- dent to the or ittee that further controversy over location would defeat all hopes of an appropriation during this Congress, 8o at last it was decided to approve the 9th-street site and concur in the House bill. Members of the committee had tired of the controversy and were anxious to give the capital of the a a — Lele conde it oie. purposes, there: the; w their objec- — the House ‘site a Rye =e unanimous report, which, i ieves i speedily be ratified by legislation, , PROVISIONS OF THE HOUSE BILI. The bill, as it passed the House, provides that the Secretary of the Treasury be in- structed, in order to provide an eligible site for a city Office, to acquire the real estate embraced in the square numbered $80 of Wash- ington, bounded by Pennsylvania avenue on the north, C street on the south, 9h street on the east and the building of the Washing- ton safe deposit company on the west, at acost, all boveirie Pca! igees artied a urpose that sum is hereby appropriated, ani Sears to be erected thereon. tatable, com- city post office extension of the modious and substantial Benet, in- cluding fire + proof vauits, eating and ventilating apparatus, _ elevators, and ye sapere for the use of a United States Post office in the city. of Washington, District of Columbia, the cost of the same not to ex- ceed $800,000,amounting to #1,075,000 in ali for the site, building, fire-proof vaults, heating and ventilating appasatus, elevators and ap- proaches complete. The bill then provides for purchase and condemnation of the ground, COMMISSIONER DOUGLASS’ VIEWE. In conversation with a Star reporter today on the site Commissioner Douglass said: ‘The site I think a good one, provided they can keep the water from backing up there. The location is central and I think well suited. The only bad feature that I can see is the low position of the ground, making floods liable at any time. The sewerage commission, however, who are at present at work upon a system of sewage dis- posal for the city, will remedy this.” WHAT MR, HINE SAYS, Commissioner Hine said: “Oh, I am in favor of any site, provided it is dry. There is no doubt but that we should fee 8 post office, and I trust one will soon be wilt,” AN INTERVIEW WITH POSTMASTER ROSS. Postmaster Ross was so sick today as to ren- der it impossible for him tobe at the post office. He was, however, seen by a Star re- porter at the National hotel. Mr. Ross was considerably surprised when informed of the action of the Senate committee. “I was in favor of any site,” said the tmaster, “which can be agreed on by both Houses of Congress, I have been in favor of a commission be- cause I did not deem it possible for both branches to agree on a site. The city post office at present is in such a shocking condition that we are a great deal in the condition of the old maid who wanted a ‘man,’ and wanted him so bad she was not very ‘ticulur what sort of a man he we We wily be only too delighted to get a post office anywhere. As to the practi- cability of the 9th street site it is uf course prac- ticable to build an excellent building there. “I have always considered that the main work of a it Office should be done on the ground floor and that nothing should be up stairs except the postmaster’s private office, the cashier's, &c. To carry out this idea with the present tremendous amount of mail matter handled in this city 50,000 feet of ground floor would be needed, and if the court or the centers for wagons should be desired 100,000 teet would not be too much, Of course at 9th and Pennsylvania avenue no such large amount of ground is possible and the upper stories will have to be used, However, it is a post office site and that is what we are after." ‘THE PROPOSED SITE. The ground,to be covered by the proposed new city post office occupies a little more than a third of the block bounded by 9th and 10th and C streets and Pennsylvania avenue. It runs from 9th street up to the the new buildings of the Washington safe deposit company. It contains in the neighborhood of 10,000 square feet, Two-fifths of this belong to the Mutual fire insurauce company and is covered by their large marble building. The remainder is owned by T. P. Simp- son, the Buckley estate and one or two others, Itis difficult to estimate the value of the property,as no sales have been made in the immediate neighborhood for a good while, but it is thought that the $275,000 appropriated for the purchase of the land will fully satisfy the demands of the property owners. THE OWNERS OF THE GROUND. The property in question is assessed at $87,348 among the following property holders: The Mutual fire insurance company, $25,824; Theodore Wheeler, $11,788; Emma P. Hume, $6,741; J. W. Corson, €28,467; Anthony and A.M. Buchley, €14,528. The ground alone is assessed at $36,848 and the improvements at $50,500, UNDER THE DOME, Four Election Contests—Notes From Committee Rooms.

It is probable that the majority of the ways and means committee will not be able to report their bill before the latter part of next week. Today they gave a hearing to the represent- atives of canned goods industries of Maryland and New York, who made a protest against the proposed increase of 120 per cent in the duty on tin plate, Mr. L. L, Bunting, president of the New York state canned goods association, A. K. Shriver and R.T.Smith,representing the canned goods exchange of Baltimore, did the talking. They said that the consumer of canned goods _ alrei paid ten ecause of the per cent more for his goods uty on tin plate and that the proposed in- crease of this duty would add another 10 per cent to the cost to the consumer. THE CONSUMER PAYS THE TAX, Mr. Dingly asked if they meant to say that the consumers paid this tax. Mr, Shriver re- plied that they did, Then does the consumer a4 me ey, the taxon canned goods?” Mr, ingly asked, “He does,” was the reply. “Then why should we pak remove the duty on canned goods and cheapen the goods to the consumers?” “We think you should do so,” answered all the gentlemen at once, If they were given free tin plate they would be glad to have all canned goods put on the free list. THE OTHER SIDE. Mr. C. P. Gelpin of Pittsburg, representing sheet iron interests there, cross questioned them sharply and said that they could get their tin much cheaper in the end if the duty was raised and the American tin plate industry un- changed. Mr, Bayne said that in two years they would get tin plate much cheaper than now if the duty were raised, He said also that the people of this country had indorsed at the last election the proposition to increasé duty on tin plates. “If they did,” Mr, Shriver replied, “they had no idea how far you would carry this protection theory,’ Treasury Department Changes.

Of the four bills on the calendar the only one likely to excite much discussion is the Colum- bus memorial park bill and it is not known that any 0} ition even to this will crop up, though it is likely that number of members will feel called upon to exhibit their eloquence. The display of words will, however, not come from the committee unless it is positively necessary to rotect the bill Chairman Grout sa; ie knows of no opposition to e bill in the House, altho he will not be sur- Fespeel to find some, as bills appropriating over 1,000,000 rarely pass without ent and 9 ition. “The members, too,” continued the chairman, “will naturally want to dis- cuss the various sections of the bill out- side of the general scheme itself. The bill however, will be pushed to the utmost by the committee, and Washington can rest assured that every effort will be made to have it passed before adjournment on Monday.” Tux Sra reporter talked with several mem- bers of the House, but could find no one likely to seriously oppose the bill. DISTRICT IN CONGRESS, WORK HOUSE EMPLOYES AND THE EIGHT-HOUR Law. An effort is being made by a number of em- ployes of the District—some of them holding official positions in the work house—to have the bill to enforce the eight-hour law so amended as to give them the benefit of the legislation. As itis now the overseers at the male work house are on duty thirty-six hours im every forty-eight. Of course they are allowed to sleep during this period, but they are fre- quently called upon to get out of bed to quell disturbances down at the female prison. The overseers claim that they are therefore illegally detained and the House committee on labor is going to look into their complaint. THE WASHINGTON AND WESTERN RATLROAD ROUTE. In the bill introduced in the Senate yesterday by Mr. Barbour authorizing the Washington and Western railroad to extend its line within the limits of the District it is provided that the tracks are to be laid by way of Water street to Rock creek, and thence by the most practicable route along Virginia avenue and 26th or 27th streets west southwardly to the intersection of the said streets with the line of B street north, and through reservation No. 4 to the terminus of said extension near 17th street west, at or near which point the company shall erect pas- senger and freight stations, The company is also authorized to connect with the long bridge, BISHOP KEANE AND THE ECKINGTON RAILROAD. Bishop J. J. Keane has petitioned the Senate to pass the bill to extend the charter of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home railroad com- pany on the ground that it would be a mate- rial benefit to the university. MONUMENTS FOR WASHINGTON, The House committee on the library has authorized favorable report on the following bills: Senate bills appropriating #40,000 fora monu- ment to James Ma m, to be erected in Washington; $15,000 for a statue in bronze to Spencer F. Baird, late secretary of the Smith- sonian Institution, to be erected in Washington, and Senate resolution appropriating 75,000 for the erection in Washington of a bronze statue to Christopher Columbus, TALKING OVER THE APPROPRIATIONS, Commissioner Douglass, Engineer Commis- sioner Roberts, Capt. Rossell and Capt, Lusk were before the Senate aubcommittee on the District appropriation bill today. A great many matters of general interest were dis- cussed, but only little progress was made with the bill itself because the Engineer Com- missioner had to leave for Philadelphia, The same delegation will be before the subcommit- tee on Tuesday next, The Commissioners asked to have the appro- priation for sikewalks increased from $100,000 to $200,000. They Proposed also that the Dis- trict be permitted to pay its share of the $575,000 for laying the new water main from the reservoir to capitol Hill in installments, as the drain on the District revenues in view of the proposed additional charges for other pur- poses would be embarrassing. YELLOWSTONE PARK. Not a Gun Fired Within Its Limits for a Year. Capt. Boutelle, who is in command of the United States troops stationed inthe Yellow- stone park, called on the Secretary of the In- terior the other day and gave him a very grati- fying account of the condition of affairs there. The captain said that the forest fires, which were formerly so prevalent, have been checked and during the past year no fires of any conse- quence have broken out, He also said that not gun had been fired during the year within the confines of the park and as a result the deer, buffaloes, mountain lions, bears, beavers and other wild animals are inereasing rapidly and becoming quite tame, He mentioned it as a curious fact that the animals seemed to know that they were safein the park. They seemed to have no fear in the presence of man while in the k, but if they happened to be outside of the limits and a man came in sight they at onceran away. The herds of buffaloes, deers, &c., are increasing in number and the fear that these animals will become extinct, the captain said, would not be realized as long as the park con- Paeen wo be ecteeted tems the inroads of the unters, ——__ THE METHODIST UNIVERSITY. Bishop Newman Here to Talk Over the Project. Bishop Newman is in this city in the interests of the proposed Methodist university that is to be located here and for which the ground has already been purchased, as stated in Tux Stan some time ago. Bishop Newman is the guest of Senator Stanford while in the city. This morning he held a conference with Bishop Hurst and Rev. Dr. Corey of the TWO MORE CHILD MURDERS. Dead Bodies of Infants Which Were Found This Morning. A colored woman name@ Sarah Coats was Yesterday convicted in the Criminal Court of manslaughter, in causing the death of ber in- fant ehild, and this morning two similar crimes were unearthed, but the games or whereabouts of the guilty parties have not been ascertained. The conviction of Sarah Coates is the first re- corded here in a case of infanticide for some time, Of the two bodies of infants found this morning one was in the parking on the New avenne side of St, Ann's infant asy- lum. This corpse looked like that of a colored child, fully developed. A piece of striped dress goods was wrapped around the body, and this again was covered with an old of sacking. Policeman Jackson carried to the third polee station, but was unable to tell whether the child died from violence or not. The other “Camp,” near Freedmsn's hospital. remains were tied ina piece of sheeting or underclothing and had evidently been thrown there some- time before last night. The ghastly bundle was taken to the eighth precinct station by Policeman Ellsworth and placed in # box. Lieut Boteler was of the opinion that the remains were those of a white child and that its death wes bly ihe result of eriminal mal- “4 ~ s colored infant, ee Coroner Patterson has been notified and will make a thorough investigation of both cases. Dr. Schaeffer will make the autopsies, The only _ thus far —— in either case ka Piece of dress goods that was wr: it the body of the infant found peice ry ‘ans's asylum. When the autopsies are concluded the remains will be interred in potter's field. THE CORONER'S DECISION. Tn the case of the infant found near St. Ann's asylum the coroner decided that it was a case of infanticide and in the other case a certifi- cate of “still birth” was given. ———— Mrs. Condory’s Side of the Story. In the case of Dr, Vilmos Condory against Golda Condory for a divorce the latter this morning filed her answer, She says while it is true she did wrong on March 3 she thinks the circumstances should palliate her offense. She then states that the petitioner devoted nearly his entire time to the study and of medicine, so neglecting her that when she met the co-respondent, Ewell A. Dick, who, abe says, flirted with her and, taking advantage of her want of familiarity with the customs and habits of the American people, arsued wpe beers late in person and by tters and ly proposed to aid in se- curing a divorce for her, she was in such a frame of mind as to fall easily into the trap and came to regard him as her best friend. She tells the story of her relations with Dick a bevels ney — to in the pe mart pri i and says in regard to the final acsne where Dr. Condory discovered Dick in his house, that Dick remained, notwith- standing her remonstrances, until about 10 o'clock, when the doctor unexpectedly returned and discovered him. —_——____ Arraignments and Sentences. In the Criminal Court, Chief Justice Bing- ham, anumber of arraignments took place this morning. Ambrose M. Brown, charged with false’ pretenses, plead guilty. He said that it was from his uncle and aunt he obtained the money and articles he was charged w:th obtaining, and he had reason to believe that they would not prosecute him. The court was inclined to be lenient, but the record showed that he had been up on similar charges before and had served e in the 9g tiary, from whence he returned last July. The third sentence, ordinarily, where two sen- tences had been served,the court said, would be increased, but as he was yet young he would a sentence two years in Albany peni- ntiary. Daniel.

Roche February 27, and larceny of money from the last named lace, plead guilty. He stated that he was m Warrenton, Va, and had been following the races. The court imposed a sentence of one year's imprisonment in the penitentiary in each count of the indictment—five years in all. Charles Leonard, a young man, indicted for the murder of George W.

Reasons Urged Before the House for Replacing the Old Structure. the Hi District v4 - louse committee Thursday urging the passage of the bill to authorise the construction of s new bridge in place of the present Bennings bridge, said the present bridge was a narrow frame structure, built on piles in 1803, which had outlived its usefulness, was unsafe, of insufficient capacity and strength to meet present demands and without foot walks or protection of any kind for pe- destriana, He submitted the report mede by Capt. Griffin three years ago, showing that, barring the 7th street road, Bennings road is the most important leading into Wi ton. Since that re; was made, Mr. said, the Union yards bave been estab- lished at Bennings, which has largely increased the travel. Beyond this bridge, be said, was the garden of the District, It is estimated that fully one-half of the vegetables and farm Products brought into this market by producers are brought in over Bennings road. He deseril pop eer six — public roads _ Yering at Bennings and various enterprises would soon add considerably to the of that suburb, He mentioned also com- letion of the race track of the Washington ‘key club at Bennings, which would largely increase the travel over the bridge, pecs sean Prince George’s County Bonds.

In a special dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette Gen. Boynton says the Columbus park bill is looked on with general favor by citizens, and in Congress is regarded as a proper step to pro- vide Washington with park which shall be worthy of the national capital in the years to come, “The bill is drawn,” says Gen. Boynton, “in accordunce with the views of a large assem- blage of r-presentative citizens, and is ent free of every speculative element.
