The petision appropriation bill was reported back. It contains an addi- tional clause appropriating §6,000 to enable the secretary of the tross- ury to send steamers to, the relief of officersand crews of whalers impris oned in the Arctic ocean. The bill was considered in the house a8 in committes of the whole. Tt'was agreed that when the bill was disposed of a soparate measure would be re- ported, construing the act placig col- ored persons who enlisted in the army on the same footing as other soldiers as to bounty and pension, 50 as to ex- tend its provisions to the heizs of such soldiers in their claims formilitary ser- | tit vice. - Thebill was passed. McLean gaid he found a published letter addressed to him and to Ellis, as members of the committee on Paci- fic railroads, by J. A. George, charg- ing certain bribery and corruption upon congress which had passed the Texsg Pacific bill. That letter had gone to the newspapers without the knowledge cf the committee. The letter will be submitted to the com- mittee next meeting. The senate amendments to the post- office appropriation bills were referred 10 1he appropriation commitee The house went into comumittee of the whole on the bill making an ap- propriation for the support of the age ou'toral department. The bill e priates $213,000. which is $130,000 less than the est mate. Mr. Aiken spckeof the importance of this de) t. In the course of his remarks he s'ated that tariff legis- lation of the country discriminated against agricultural interests. Mr. Kelley denied this, and insisted that the teritf bill was of especial ad- vantage (o the farmer. The bill was theu considered by sections. Mr. Young, of Tennessece, offered an amendment, which was adopted, providing that the amount appropria- ted be at the discretion of the comm: sioner of agriculture snd in exper ‘ments for improving different varieties of cotton. Mr. Gillette nfix an smendment ap ting §50,000, to set up sppa- e To the: manafactaring of uger at agricultural fairs to dumomtnu the pnmeabnlny of making of rn stalks. ~ He said it h-d b-tn pro- ven that s suficient amount d:{: could be extracted from corn after the corn had boen harvested to was ruled outon a of order. Me. 0“"‘"3 w mu:.ndmut appropriating $20,000 to sink srtesian wells on the plains east of the Rocky mountais, with a view to reclaiming the lands. - After some disoussion, without ac- tion on the amendment, the commit- tee rose st 4:30 p. m. and the house took a recess till 7:30 p. m. EVENING SESSION. The seesion of houso last night was for the purpose of considering the bill te organize a court on pensions. Mr. Farr opposed the whole scheme because be did not believe it could be of any avail. In the course of discussion Mr. Warner said the pension law at pros- ent constituted a demawd for sn an- nual appiopriation of $38,000,000, besdes this applications were coming in at the rate of $3,000 to $10,000 a month. If all appropriations now on file were allowed, thore would be re- quired an immediste sppropriat'on of rm,ooo 000forfarears and. pensions. The roll would thereafter call for an annual appropriation of $1,000,000. Nearly the whole evening was taken ur with & discussion of second section the bill which defined the class of cunes that might come before the cour!_created by the bill. It was in- sisted on one hand and denied on the other that the biil gave such original jurisdiction that cases that bad never been before the commissioner of pen- sions might be brought befors the court and that it therefore opened the door to every man who had served in the army whether he was under disa- bility ornot. The section was amended to limit jurisdiction to appealed cwes. Without disposing of the bill the house adjourned. SENATE. Bayard failed to get his bill regulat- ing the pay of deputy marshals_con- idered in the senate during the mora- m. hour, because it had not been printed and Jaid on the eenators desks. Oonkling took occasion to say that there were grave objections to the bill and it could not pass without consider- ‘able discussion. Senator Bayard gave notice he would call it up later 1n the day. Senator Ssulshury spoke at so length on the Kellogg case, favoring Hill's report. Senator Butler will be the next wpeaker, and will oppose the attsmpt to unseat Kellog Senator Butler took the floor on the Kellogg-Spofford resolution but allow- ed the report to e laid aside in order to consider bills on the calendar. The senate agreed to meet at eleven o'clcck daily on and after Thursday. Adjourned. GREAT UNACCOUNTABLES. Rumors That Courtney, Who is Reported Sick, is Shamming. That Hanlan May Beat Him In the Great Race To-Day. Special dispatch to The Bes, WasuixoroN, May 16 Frow outward indications it is safe to predict that Courtney is doomed to defoat in his great race lo-day with Haolan. Al signs indicate his de- feat. All prospect predict it and bet- ting is nearly three to one against him with few takers at these odds. Tho change in the general feeling as to the probability of the race has boen sud- den and decided. the favorite from the start, but up to yesterday it has been generally con- ceded that the result was doubtful. Two events have contributed to bring about a change, the first is the arrival of a large number of Canadians with pockets full of monsy and anxious bet. They have frightened Courtne: betts nd bulled Havlan stock until at nine o'clock last night they were offering 100 to 35 on their favorite,and finding occasional takers. An impor. tant eventalso was »nother wishap to Couriney. Ho took s hard pul yes- day morning and was aftsrwards zed with viclent pains which 1isted him allday. A few held to the balief that Couriney was only shamm'ng and that it was a trick imvented to bar Courtuey stock, but careful inquiry | shows that tha headacho is both genu- e and severs. The public ganerally is inclined to believe that 1s an cvi- dence that Courtney has not recovered from his snnstroke and is no longer atle to pull a hard race. News of his indisposition has revived the predic- tion that he would not row snd that Riley would yet have to make up the race. Courtney himself s idea. *‘T shall certainly an appearance if 1 live, and | il od tais and b long sl can,” he said. These are outward indica- i d if there is not some trickery behind it all it scems mare than proba- ble that Hanlan must win. Heis in prime condition which Oourtaey cer- tainly is not. The racowill not be started until very late in the afternoon in order that Courtney may not be af- fected by thesun. If, therefore, his headache should prove to be unim- portant and there should be no return of it, or no other accidentshould occur during the raco it will not be a walk- over for Havlan. There has been some talk that Hanlan intended to sell out the racc and let Courtney win, but there is no evidence of snch inten- tiops and Hanlan denounced the re- port az alie. The race will be witnessed by an immense concourse of spectators, probably larger than has_ever before gathered at a boat racein this coun- try. Therace isset for 4:30 o'clock, but it will prohbly not be started before 5:30 or 6 p. m. Postoffice) Onanges In Nebraska and Wyoming, during the week ending May 15, 1830, fur- Dished by Wm.

Loxvox, May 19—1 a. m.—The effect of the accesion of the Gladstone ministry to power already begins to be apparent. Abroad it is well under- stood that_Gladstone is such an ad- mirer of Rustia aud is £0 thorougnly on her side in every way that he will ot permit any obstacle to be thrown in her path by England, consequently Russix is now moving forward more rapidly than formerly in her schemes of conquest i the far East. It is re- ported that she is about to send an army corps of 24,000 men to make a demonstration on the Chinese frentier and thus, take the first step in the campaign, which, however protracted it may be, has for its ultimato por- poso the pushing of the Russian con- quest to the China ses.

Lepira for two years befors his appointment as minister of commerce and agriculture. The politi- cal significance of these chianges is not thoroughly _understood, but they seem to indicate an effort of tho gov- ernment to brivg skill in the adminia- tration of officers as both of the new officers possess these gratifications. SERIOUS ¥RENCH STRIKE. Special Dispateh to The Des. Pants, May 19—1 8. m.—A large number of the sirikers at Roubai who had returned to work, have again gone ont. Matters look very serious at Rbeims, whither M. Constance, minister of the Interior has gono to | arrange troubles with the workmen. ENGLAND'S IRON TRADE. The Chatterly coal iron company have decided to stop work again soon. Tho company is understood to have come to this conclusion partly on ac- ccount of the continued depression in the price of iron in the United States, which has already touched figares to make the exportation of iron from England unprofitable, and partly on account of the unsettled condition of Inbor here, which may at any timo bring about a strike. At present the company can much better afford to atop for s time until the market chan- gea than to risk trouble. MORE WORK FORTHE BRITISH.

A Rei The Illinois Convention. Bpecial Dispatch to The Ree. Serns, e, IL, May 18—4 p. m. —There is every indication of a lively timo in the convention to-morrow. If the Grant men have a majority they threaten to seloct, by & committeo of the convention, forly two delegates, and to ibstruct them to vote asn unitfor Grant. It looks this af- teruoon as the regular delegstes from Cook county will stand a tair show of admission, thovgh thera is no tell- ing what the Dulldozing of Grantites may accomplish between now and noon to-morrow. Should the machinists insist upon the rejection of the whele or part of the regular delogation, thero will be trouble and perhaps two conventions. Wash- burne and Bline men through- out the stato will stand by the reguars from Cook to the extent, it is claimed, of withdrawivg with them if the outrage of ousting them. is per- petrated. Tt is proposed by some to ask the Grant managers this afternoon whother they will consent to admit the regulars; and if not to start a sec. ond convention of Blaine and Wash- burne men in the senate chamber sim- ultaneously with the opening of the Grantite convention in the house. The outlook for a peacefnl soltion of the Cock county difficulty is not at present promising. The Grantites are moving heaven an earth to securea majority. The central committee, of which the Grantites have a majority, at its meoting this evening will select a tomporary chairman. Some violent Grantites propose toseathim by physl cal foroe, if necessary. The committeo on credentials is evenly divided out- sido of Cook county. GRANT FIGURING. ‘Spectal Dispatch to the Bee. SerixortenD, May 19—1 & m.— Ttis estimated that over 4,000 str gors will be in the city to-dsy. The Grant men are now climing 363 votes aside from Cook county, which is 128 moro than & majority. Tt is claimed that when & dispatch from Washburne is read, asking his frionds to vote for Graut, the Wastburne del- egates will flock to the Grant stan- dard. The opposition do not present any figures as to their strength in the conyention, and_virtvally_concode a majority to Grant. They have hopes of overcoming this by superior man- agement with regard to the Cook coun- ty eplit. RUMORED COMPROMISE. Rumors yesterday were current of a compromise between Logan and Far- well, leaders of the two factions, but it couldnot be traced to a reliablo sourco. The Washburne men resent the sssertion that they are under Far- well's control. Grant leaders from Chicago say that they will have at least 36 of their delegates seated. A ‘meeting of delegates elected by sena- torial districts at_ the Palmer house, Chicago, was held yesterday, Robert Lincoln, president, and Stephen A. Dovglas, secretary. R. S. Tuthill ad- dressed the meeting, and said that the ‘men elected by the Farwell hall con- vention were boldly and loudly pro- claiming about the streets that they did not proposo to submit to the state convention unless action was favorable to them, or, in other words, they don’t propcse to let the convenfioBsay who were the proper delegates and who werenot. We came down here with our case, wo belive it is 8 good ons, we will lay it bafore the stats conven- tion, and as good republicans we pro- pose to abide by the result of its deci- sion. He believed he spoke the mind of all present in taking that ground, and he knew thatit was the posi that would win, and he therefore of- fered the following resolutions, which were adopted: WaerEas, Thersis a contest as to the delegations from several senatorial districts in Ccok county to the atate convention; and, WaEneas, This delegation, repre- senting the triends of Gen. Grant, ave confidence in the justness of our cause, as it will be made to appear to the state convention, and slsoin the sense of right and disposition ta do straightforward just'ce which we be- lieve the state convention will exer- cisa in passing upon and deciding the question at issue in the contest from Cook county. Therefcre, be it Resolved, That we will submit our cause to the state convention, and, as true and reliable republicavs, we will, in good faith, abide by its decision. TILDEN'S INTIMIDATION.

The opening selection was from Bach, adapted by Mr. Thomas, and was in- troducedffby an organ prelude, com- posed for the occasion by Mr. Whit- ney, of Boston. The soloists were Miss Norton, Miss Annle Louise Cary, Campanini and Mr. Whitney. Every member was well sustained, but with all local prestige in tavor of the soprano soloist, the fact was admitted on all sides that this important part was only fairly, whileall others were dmirably suog. Mozart’s symphony in C Major closed the first part and showed the magnificent orchestra with fine effect. Thisisthe first time in the history of the featival that the or- chestra has been equal to_the require- ments of the hall. A chorus and a selection {rom Handel, adapted by Frank,on the great organ, made up the second part of the concert. Among the throvg of visitors are many of the most eminent musical men of the coun- try, includiog musical critics of all the leading journals, leading composers and others. ase Ball Special dispatches to The Eee.
