WAgHiSGTOa-, May 12. Ssnatb.
In the Senate today Mw Mitchell sub
mitted a current resolution expressing it
to be the sense of Congress that nego
tiations should be entered into between
t le United States and Chinese govern
ments, with; the view to securing of
spelt modification of the present treaty
with China as may result in stopping the
Coming of Chinese to this country, ex
cept in case of diplomats ' and their
servants, and except also in case of per
sons at sea, -driven to seek a place of
shelter. The current resolution was re
ferred to the committee on , foreign re
lations. Mr. Stanford, gave notice that the
27th inst. he jrould submit resolutions
in respect to the death of ; his late col
league, Mr. Miller. Th
The consideration of the inter-State
commerce bill was resumed.
The bill having been completed, asm
committee of the whole, the question was
on agreeing in the Senate to tne amend
ments agreed to in committee. A pro
tracted debate arose' on various amend
ments, especially to the long ; and short
haul clause, Mr. Kiddleberger moved
to lay the bilf on the table. This mo
tion was defeated; yeas 11 (Riddleber-
ger) nays 44. ; Mr. Riddleberger stated
that this vote Settled all constitutional
questions and resolved all that wo at
tributed to the Democratic! States rights
party into one general proposition that
the federal government nacf a right to
control the railroads, which carried with
it the proposition to control the tele
graphs. The Sole object of his motion
had been to develop that fact. He
wanted to hear no more talk of "uncon
stitutionality" on these points'
Air. .hdmunds moved to restore to the
long and short haul clause the words
struck out by the Camden amendment,
namely: "from the same original point of
departure," and to add to these the
further words Vor to the same -point of
arrival." Mr.: Edmunds. said he be
lieved that this would be - better than
the Camden amendment, ; because the
latter amendment created, be said, a
restriction and an injustice between lo
cal traffio that was entirely within the
State and local j traffic that I happened ta
be a little way out of the State.
Mr. Edmunds amendment was at
first rejected; yeas "23, nays 24; but Mr.
Edmunds again offered it later and it
was agreed to; yeas 26, naya 24. Sev
eral other amendments were offered and
rejected. The bill came to a vote and
was passed;! yeas 47, naya 4. The
negative votes; were Messrs. : Brown,
Colquitt, Morgan and Ransom.! A num-
ter or pairs were announced. The
bankruptcy bill was laid before the
Senate, but Mr. Hoar yielded in favor
of the pension bill, which latter accord
ingly remains the unfinished Dusiness
for 2 o'clock tomorrow. At 6.47 p. m.
the Senate adjourned.

Tn the morning hour Mr. Belmont,
of New York, 'on behalf of the; commit
tee on foreign affairs, called up the joint
resolution providing indemnity to cer
tain (Jbinese subjects for losses sustained
ltnin the jurisdiction of the United
States. The resolution was considered
in committee of the whole. " Mr Bel

ritory, f Is i
Pending discussion the morning hour
expired. The committee rose and the
House acain went on the annv-aDDro-
priation bill.! Mr. Rookweliilof Mas
sachusetts, moved to increase from
$300,000 to $400,000 the appropriation
tor the manufacture of arms : at ' the
Springfield armory. After some debate
the motion was agreed to: 86 to 84.
The committee rose. The House, by a
vote of 103 tQ 106, refused to agree to
the Springfield armory amendment (thus
reversing the action of the committee)
and the. bill was passed. H
The House again went into .commit
tee of the whole on the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bills :and spent
the remainder of the day s session dis
puting over an; item of $1,800 for
steam launch for the use of the legation
at Constantinople. Mr. Cameron, of

fired upon a crowd of strikers on

purpose of guarding against any trouble
which might attend the transfer of the

Washington Cor. N. Y. Herald,
Nothing could be more beautiful than
to witness the Senate of the United
States, break up after an executive ses
sion. Its . members assemble in the
shade of the eastern portico and cast
their weary eyes about for a vehicle in
which to reach their homes. Many take
the herdic 'busses, and not a few affect
the littie one-horse cars that glide so
gracefully out F street to Georgetown.
Some Senators, like Inealls and Snooner.
who live near by, walk complacently
home. The millionaires drive home in
their own carriage or hire one fbr the
occasion. Senator Hearst follows the
latter plan. He had just entered an
open barouche this afternoon when Sen
ator Beck appeared. The Kentuckian
was asked to take a seat beside the new
California Senator, and did so with alao
rity. As they drove away Senator
Vanoe said.
"There go the two millionaires."
"When did Mr. Beck become a mil
lionaire ?" I asked.
"Quite recently," was the reply.
"Indeed!"
"Yes, a newspaper mentioned him as
such. Beck was better pleased than
about anything that has occurred to him
since he first came here. ; tie read his
name over and over again with delight.
Then he went home, and greeting his
wife in his most cheerful tone, showed
her the place his name occupied ) in the
list.
M 'Jane,' said he, 'my dear Jane, thia
reoort is not to be contradicted under
an nirenmstanoes.' And it never has

pears; that Mr. Hall and his wife ; had
just retired for the night, when some
one knocked, at the front door. Mr.
Hall arose and opening the door found
a heavy-built negro on the front porch!
He asked the man what he wanted,! but
without replying the negro assaulted
Mr. Hall with a club, felling him to
the floor. He entered a chamber and
attacked Mrs Hall with a club, striking
her several blows on the head. It is
thought the negro's purpose was rob
bery, but he was frightened off by hear
ing some one moving in the upper part
of the house. An alarm was given by
a little ; grandchild and the neighbors
found the venerable couple insensible
and in a critical condition. Mr. Hall
is 74 years old. A posse of citizens is
searching for the negro and if found he
may be summarily dealt With.

4 Richmond, May 12. In the Metho
dist Episcopal conference today' the'
.aar a a v . w
"manual ot Discipline," by bishop Mo
Tyeire, again came up, under amotion
that the college o'f bishops be requested
to publish their decisions. After con
siderable discussion the matter went
Over without action. It iimanifest that
the greater part of the delegates are un
willing that the' "Manual" shall serve
as a final arbiter. A large number of
amendments have been made looking to
I change of discipline, but so far little
disposition it manifested to make any
changes. Dr. Jtfd wards, of Virginia,
introduced a resolution proposing a
change in the order of divine service
on the Sabbath day. An animated de
bate followed. Dr McFcrrin, Kelly,
Toung;j and M others spoke earnestly
against, the resolution, wbich was finally
rejected. ,
I The finance, committee recommended
that the" matter in relation to the will of
the late Lorenzo i). Bragg, of Massa
chusetts, be referred to the book agent
to be elected by the conference, for him
to do what,, ho may deem best, in the
premises. Mr. Bragg died, leaving an
estate worth $20,000, to be divided
equally between the Southern and
Northern Methodist churches in the
event of his two children dvinar before
they become of age The committee on
episcopacy reported in relation to the
matter Of episcopal residences, that in
their opinion there should be a bishop
from each of the great sections of the
country. Br, Peterson, of Virginia,
chairman of the committee on re-
visa!, i presented a report in rela
tion to the ratio of representation. The
committee deems a ehange unnecessary in
tue manner 01 electing aeiegates to tne
general conference. The committee .re
commended non-concurrence. The com-
committee also recommended non-concurrence
in the matter of classing local
preachers with laymen.1 A minority
report will be submitted . Rev. Dr.
John Mill v, fraternal messenger from
the Northern Methodiat church, was in
troduced t j the conference today. Gov.
Foraker the other fraternal messenger
from the Northern church, did not come.

Mrs. E. J. Gurley, in Good House-
keeping. J- i
Though there can be no routine of
labor suitable to every home, some gen
eral rules are applicable to all. System
and reeularitv are nniversallv neces
sary; the work of today must be done
today. Though there are times in every
household when this system will be in
terrupted, order should be ; restored as
soon as possible. But these immediate
home duties are not all. Women all
owe some obligation to friends and SO'
clety. These eunnot be i snored with
out detracting from that genuine hospi
tality which should exist under every
rodf. Proper attention to all the inter
ests of homes is necessary to the fulfil'
ment of woman's trust. Fitness for ber
sphere will enable her to throw off the
allegiance to the servant girl of the
period. ; When this is accomplished the
housewife will reign in undisputed sway
over ber empire, in the hearts and homes
of her family.
