Sir i. -I .1" poi tleal of the hour is the from the cabinet of minister of militia. It is understood that his retire-meat is desired and that it will take plan; very siwm. One cause given is the ga ety at- Sir Adolphe's frequent trips to the seaside, on which ocCjision it is said, he made expense. So i-Til petition but a collection of rot and tilth which the senator has collected himself.

Mr. is a statement which I make on my own responsibility, of the petition. It was pre- called on the chair for a ruling. The vice statement haa been made by the senator from New Hampshire that the brief which he has prepared is a condensed statement of the petition. The chair is of the opinion that the senator has the right to com- rob a grave plete the rca ji ng of i ie pa )( yesterday Mr rj erl comes from the senator himself I don't think it can injure either the state of Arkansas or its people.

Therefore I have no objection. The statement was then completed and the petition referred. Mr. Evarts called up his resolution declaring it competent for the senate to elect president pro who hold the office during the pleasure of the-senate, and until another is elected, and who shall execute the duties thereof when the vice president is absent. The resolution was briefly discussed and at the suggestion of Mr.

George, who is opposed to it, went over. The credentials of Mr. Wilson, of Maryland, for the new senatorial term were presented and placed on file. Business on the calendar waa then taken up, and twenty-six pension and private bills were passed: also the following public bills; Providing for a steam vessel for use of the civil government of Alaska, appropriating 350,000 for the vessel and Sill.uOO for the annual expense: appropriating for enlargement of the public building at Topeka, and appropriating for a public bm'Hinga: St. Albans, Vt.

At 2 o'ckvk the ational bill was taken up. and Mr. proceeded to address the senate Incidentally Mr. Infills notified flu- senate that be insisted on having the bill disposed of at the earliest moment possible. Mr.

Reagan's argument was directed chie'ly against the constitutionality of the measure. He mule a statement in reply to Mr. Blair, to show that Texas was doing its full iLity in the matter of education. Mr. Wilson, of Maryland, al-o argued against the constitutionality of the bill.

There was as much danger from corruption and lawlessness as from illiteracy, and if the government could seize the common school system, there was as great a necessity for it to lay bauds on the local police of tbe Mr. replying to Mr. Wilson, spoke of the attempt being in Virginia to the school tax raised from whites io the education of white children and showed that under one of the so lions of the bill no st.ite that made any sneli distinction roald derive any ail- van'ag from the bill.

facts in a very peculiar but true transaction thai; took plac i in this city last week have just come to light. Walter Lewis, who is employed at the bending works, is a resident of Elliott street, in the west part of the city. On a certain night last week STATE his good wife was awakened from her peaceful slumbers by footsteps in the I house. She lost no time in awakening her husband, whom she informed there wore burglars in the house. Mr.

Lewis called out a name to which no response came, and then sprang out of bed on to a man. A liqely tussle ens.ued, which resulted in Mi. ijewis throwing the unwelcome visitor out a window, just as the visitor made himself known. The proprietor saw his mistake and assisted the man, who proved to be a neighbor, into the house again, where his badly cut face was dressed and he was started for hia home, but a short distance away. In the same vicinity reside au old gentleman and lady.

The intoxicated individual, instead of going to his own home, cautiously approached the door of the old tolks, which had been left unlocked for a son, opened walked in Proceedings of Both Branches of the General Assembly. UNIVERSITY VISITED. took off his shoes and proceeded to a bet room in which the old lady was sleep ing. The husband was upstairs, and the wife commenced to scream, which brought her protector upon the scene and on top of the intruder's frame before an explanation could be made. The visitor was shown to the door, and, it is believed, eventually found his own domicile.

DR. M'GLYNN. Be Cam Make Hii Peace With the 11 Oman Authorities. NEW YORK, Feb. rumors affecting the Rev.

Dr. McGlynn were current yesterday and each is of more than ordinary interest. One of these stories is to the effect that Dr. McOlynn is to be reinstated with due formality as a priest of the Roman Catholic church. The other is that Dr.

Melllynn, because of illness, has made an application to Bishop Loughlin, of Brooklyn, in whose diocese he now resides, to act as an intermediary between himself and Koine, and to arrange a removal of the ban thai was placed upou him by the lioman authorities nearly three years ago. An investigation made yesterday indicates that there is a good deal of truth in both stories. The rumor that Dr. is so ill that he feels it is necessary to make peace with the churuch is" not true. Dr.

Mc(ilynn was very ill when in the west. He' is not entirely well now, but Dr. (ieirge i''. Shrady, who has been his nietlua' adviser for many years, says that physically Dr. Mculynn is in better condition to-day than lie was three years ago, when, to use Dr.

Shrady's expression, the anti-poverty orator was kei: ing up his system with "false lire." Iu other words, he was entirely overtaxing his strength, and, despite his magnilicent physique, he was by no means a strong man. To-day he is'a different man, and by uo means at death's door. There is just this much truth in the stories about Dr. Mc(Tlvnn, the doctor can make his peace with the Roman authorities tomorrow if he will meet them half way. INDIGNANT MILLcRS.

A Itic Meeting at Indianapolis to Kaili-uatl Discrimination. INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. is a big meeting here of corn millers from all parts of the state. They will fight the discrimination in the shipping rates of the Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio made between corn and corn produce. This discrimination gives eastern millers an advantage over those in tiie "west.

These companies carry corn from Chicago to New York at twenty cents per hundred, and charge twenty-live cents for meal, llonring, grists, etc. The legaliiy of the discrimination was recently tested in the case of I'arvcy Bates. versus the Penn.syl\ acia and and Baltimore and Ohio railroads, the interstate commerce commission deeitl- iug agains! railroads.
