The Week in Congress, Without comment or division the House passed the bill appropriating $150,- 000 to enable the President to carry out the stipulations of the Behring ment with Great Britain. — binding twine bill was taken up and passed by a vote of 183 yeas to 47 nays under a suspension of the rules.—The vonferrees reached an agreement on the Chinese exclusion bill.

The vill, as reported, carries an appropriation of $21,000,000, and some of its opponents charged that it provided contracts that would call for an expenditure of $26, 000,000 additional. Mr. Holman at- tacked the bill, but in the consideration of the bill by items many appropriations were increased.—The majority of the House judiciary committee has made an adverse report on the proposed amend ment of the constitution looking to uni form marriage and divorce laws, The majority argue that the jurisdiction o ngress is now too wide, and some of its powers should be remitted to the States rather than that new powers should be taken from them.——The House finance committee has agreed te report favorably bills appropriatin $100,000 for the extension of free posta: delivery in rural districts, and providing for the issue of fractional notes.

President Harrison will soon be called apon for correspondence concerning Chili matters since January 28, Representative Otis, of Kansas, wants to investigate Secretary Noble and Com ioner Carter, of the General Land Office. President Harrison informed a Wash ington correspondent that he had no in tention to send to Congress a message on the silver question at present. William Lapham, recently dismissed from the Interior Department has brought suit against Secretary Noble for libel, alleging that his removal was based on false and libellous charges. Secretary Noble has written Chairman Wheeler, of the Raum Investigating Committee, explaining that he has no disposition to refuse the committee any information, and that the report to the contrary was made under a misunder standing. In view of the adoption of the modus vivendi by British authorities, British Columbia sealers have passed resolutions calling upon Minister of Marine to sec that vessels are duly notified and not summarily dealt with according to in structions given by Secretary ‘Tracy. Excited Over a War Vessel. The trip of the United States cruise: Concord up the Mississippi River ha: caused a sensation. It has been nearly thirty years since a war vessel has been seen north of New Orleans, and nothing tike the Concord has ever been as far north as Vicksburg, At every town and city the banks have been lined with peo- ple anxious for a sight of a real man-of- war. The negroes have been especially excited and various reports have beer circulated by them. The one mos widely spread was that Uncle Sam had sent the boat to convey all the colored people to Oklahoma. WARD OUT OF PRISON. THE RECKLESS FINANCIER IS RE- LEASED FROM SING SING. Ue Ruined General Grant—te Has Sat- Has Money Hidden for a Rainy Day. Ferdi him down into an unhappy grave, and Ward and of the Marine Bank wrecked last day as a convict in the State Prison and is now a free man. When the doors of the pri: hind him in November, tence of the court, ringing in his ears,was has shortened his term to six years and six months, At the office of the prison he will be handed $200 for work done in the print- ingroom, If that should prove to be the only money now possessed in the world by this man, who once juggled with hundreds of thousands, he will not go forth totally unprepared. Through his enforced labor over the case he has be- come an expert printer. A million dol- tars of the profits of Grant & Ward have never been accounted for, however, and it is possible that Ward has kept in hid- ing some of the ill-gotten wealth, His confusing books baffled at the time of the trial all efforts to discover where the missing funds had gone to, Ward borrowed money at high rates of interest and paid these exorbitant rates out of the last deposits in trust with the firm. People trusted General Grant’s integrity, but in truth Grant had only invested $50,000, and was not at all cognizant of Ward's suicidal conduct of the business, President J. D. Fish, of the Marine bank, was probably the only one acquainted with the facts, for in order to create pres- tige Wardexecuted imaginary contracts for business and credited young Ulysses Grant alone with $770,424 profits up to August, 1883, Of course, these profits existed simply upon paper. When the Marine Bank had to meet, May 4, 1884, a check for $300,000, drawn by New York city, Ward was in sore straits; but he went to Gen- eral Grant and by misrepresentation in- duced that unfortunate partner to se- cure a loan of $150,000 from W. H. Van. derbilt. Unable to raise the rest of the sum, the bank collapsed and so did the firm, for Ward had been paying the bank 100 per cent profits on invested money, giving at one time $12,000 for the use of $100,000 for ninety days. Hypotheca- tion, “kiting” renewals could not, how- ever, continue forever. The day after the failure Ward gave all his property to a Mr. Warner, declar- ing that Warner was a customer and had made over $1,000,000 profit out of the firm. It was suspected then that Warner and Ward-understood one sanother. Cer- tainly, during his trial, Ward was able to pay $40 a week for private buard at Ludlow Street Jail. Fish, who was censured for not seeing, as president of the bank, that the loans to Grant & Ward were properly se- cured, received a seven-year sentence, but was pardoned from Auburn several years ago, Ward is not ap old man even yet, being but 41, and having few gray hairs. Two years after his imprisonment his wife died. Ward pleaded piteously to be permitted to gaze for the last time upon her face. His prayers could not be granted. An eight-year-old gon still lives and is attending school in Con- necticut, and thither Ward will go at once upon his release. Several other in- dictments are’ hanging over him, but her feels that he will not be rearrested, COTTON NO LONGER KING, A Probable Falling Off of One-fifth in Thh Year's Crop. A number of agencies have recently started in to gather figures estimating the cotton crop of 1892. In Chicago a combination of merchants known as the Wholesalers’ Statistical Bureau sent out nearly five thousand queries. Upto yes: terday replies from about half of these asked were in, They showed that com: pared with last year’s planting the fall. ing off would be from twent. -one te twenty-three per cent, or a one-fifth re duction. Bradstreet's, in the current number, goes into the question of the condition of the South with a basis for its figures in data received from 2,378 correspond- ents in 826 counties of ten States. One thousand four hundred and fifty-two re. port the condition of the planters as worse than last year, while 535 report improvement. Of the small store-keep- ers 1,197 are reported as worse off and 366 as better. On the question of ad- vances to planters 1,978 report that they are not as free as in 1891, and the range of decrease in advances runs from 25 to 40 per cent. The cotton acreage is reported as less by 1,771 correspondents, while 60 report it as larger, and the re. duction runs from 20 to 25 per cent. One thousand eight hundred and eleven re port increased acreage to other crops, corn, oats, tobacco, wheat and hog pro ducts taking the lead. Bradstreet’s declares that cotton is no longer king, and finds much to encour age it in looking for an improved out look in the South. ———$$_$____. POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE.

The only effort of the anarchists was made af Liege, where three bombs were exploded at the houses of officials, but without loss of life. Large bodies of troops were under arms at all the eapitals, and to this is attributed the absence of rioting. The General Conference of the Metho dist Church, now in session at Omaha ir quad-rennial session, will deal with im portant subjects, among which will be the decision of the question of whether additional bishops shall be chosen, and if so, to elect them. Important ques tions of church policy will also be de cided. Jay Gould Buys a Railroad. The sale of the El Paso & White Oak Railroad to Jay Gould has been approvec being $50,000.
