Mr. Loud criticized the construction of the bill saying that the majority of the com mittee believed, in his opinion, that the full amount called for by the estimates will be needed and will have to be provided for by a deficiency bill after the next election. He uaiieu unmion to me tact tnat, with a full Democratic admistration in control the committee had accepted the i full amount estimated for postoffice inspectors, 1300 000 the largest sum ever reported by the com mittee. This he said was in marked con trast with the manner in which the com mittee in the Fifty-second Congress made appropriations to be expended by a Repub lican Postmaster General. Then every esti mate was reduced, and the chairman of the committee could truthfully tell the House that there would soon be if it were not al ready now, a bill providing for a deficiency of Sl,200,000 for mail transportation. An agreement was reached to close gen eral debate on the bill except as to the item which Mr. Kyle sought to strike out, and the bill was taken under the five minute rule for amendment.

Arguing the Depositions in the Pol lard Case Objected to by the Plain tiff 1 he Judge to Deliver His Decision on Monday. Washikgtok, March 2L-Last Thursday in the trial of the Pollard-Breckinridge case, objection was made by counsel for the plain tiff to evidence contained in depositions pre sented by the defense concerning Miss Pol- iara s age; conversations regarding her had with James C. Rodes,'her deceased lover, and with reference to her ability! to resist improper advance from men. Some of the objections were sustained and the evidence ruled out, to which exception was taken by if,tidef5ins n other instances Judge Bradlev decided to postpone the reading 6f certain objectionable passages in !,he depos itions Until he ronlH anf accordingly, it was agreed that he snould hear argument on the admission or exclusion of the disputed evidence this morning at 10 o'clock. Shortly after the appointed hour the argu ments began, but behind closed doors. Only Col. Breckinridge and his attorneys and the counsel for Miss Pollard were present. The reason for the secrecy was to prevent the ob jectionable testimony from being made public through the newspapers, thus bring ing it, in a measure, before the jurymen, 4 arf Ji? be keP ia ignorance of the char acter of the evidence unless Judge Bradley decides that it is competent and may be read in court. . The most interesting points argued were in reference to admitting the depositions of Alex. Julian, W. W. Rossell and Dr. Lewis. Julian is the man referred to by Miss Pol- " uimu sweetneart my modern Barnabas," who deposed that one Christmas day, while at the house of 'Squire Tinsley, Miss Pollard, after drinking too much egg nocrcr -orant fK ...... ..I. . L. r oa 'uiuugu mt) mrm oi a ruocK marriage with Julian and then proposed that they carry out the marital relation. 1 he testimony of Dr. Lewis was that Col. A. W. bwope who was killed in a street duel in Lexington by Cassius Clay Goodloe some years ago, had requested him to perform an operation on a Miss Pollard with whom he said he had become involved. Dr Lewis refused to take the case. He testified that he did not know whether the Miss Pollard mentioned was f alaliiA lli i - ------ " '"""vuuc luuoiu or some other Pollard. W. W. Roseli is the man who was engaged to Miss Pollard in Cincin nati at the time, according to her own ad mission when she was under contract to marry James C. Rodes or pay him the money he advanced her, and was expecting to be confined of her first child. Roseli deposed that he had taken liberties With MlSS Pollard tit W.lo.n 11 j that when he was about leaving Cincinnati for a trip to Chicago she begged him to take her along with him.

The technical objections to the admission of the depositions on the ground that they had been taken de b&ie evse, or, in other words, subject to estimation at their proper value by the court, to be admitted or re jected as evidence and opposed on any grounds the plaintiff might see fit to make, were argued by MeM.

A Score of Congressmen at One Time mm to 8ign the Bill His Answer to the Congressmen Giving the Subject Tbor ongb Investigation Mr. Cleveland to Go . to Fredericks barg, Va. w ashingtos, March 24. About the Capi- " impression is deepening that Presi dent Cleveland will Uto the Seigniorage bill. A gentleman who shares Mr. Cleve land s confidence to a largedegree, and who muiaeu is a sturdy opponent of the bill, ouneu mis aiternoon that there was no doubt of the President's action in the mat ter. This gentleman saw the President early in the day.. Mr. Cleveland gave no intimation of what his purposes were, but he said he was considering the bill calmly and dispassionately, and without regard to any other consideration except its effect upon the country. If that effect would be good in his judgment he would sign it. If it would be injurious he would veto it. There could be, he said, no middle course. it was not a question of courage, he said, but whether the bill was right or wrong, and his actions regarding the measure would be based wholly upon the conclusions to be drawn from these propositions. The President's visitor stated that Mr Cleveland was showing the effect of the ter rible pressure which had been brought to bear upon him for and against the bm. He looked years older than he did when he re turned from his hunting, trip a few days agO. More than a rfsvran ot.1 - , J pess called upon him to-day and urged him ,f&n tthe ilL Tey were U Southern and Western men and one of the number it If reported, took it upon himself to read the President a lecture regarding his dis- Hwuuiwi ui we om and the effect of a veto m.the South. This gentleman stated that under these circumstances it would be impossible to elect a Democrat from the State which he represented and that Popu nsts and Republicans wonlH ho mhtnt in the next House for the present Demo cratic delegation. The President is said to have been visibly annoyed at this partisan appeal, and expressed himself in sharp terms in reply, stating in effect that the sub ject was one which required consideration from a higher standpoint than that of polit ical expediency. Prom what the President is quoted as saying to-day, it is obvious that he will avail himself of the full limit of time af ??ru nim ln whjch to dispose of the bill Whether he signs or vetoes it, his action will not be taken m all probability before Thurs day of next week. At one time fifteen friends of the Seigni orage bill Were ranged about the President sentativos Whlf Y1 1U ald, of Illinois, came with Representatives Martin, Brookshire and McNagny, of Indi ana. Accompanying the Indianas was a ln ZKZ. .-Secretary of the Treasury Hugh McCulloch, wno came as a Western banker to urge the signing of the bill. Rep resentative Bryan, of Nebraska, was there to urge the desires of the far Northwest that the bill be signed. Representative McMii hn, of the Ways and Means committee, was ust back from a visit to his State. tie said a silver veto meant politi cal oisaster . representatives Tucker and Wise, of irginia, were there with the junior irginia Senator, (Hunton) on the same mission. Representative Patterson of Tennessee. Wheeler of Alabama, Caruth of Kentucky, Black of Illinois and Sibley of Pennsylvania, added to the formidable gathering of Congressional leaders. Every one of the callers was an ardent silver man except, possibly, Representative Black of Chicago, and he too was there to urge that the people of Illinois wanted the Bland bill ; ii i 'romcui uau a coraiai greet ing for the various silver men and showed much interest in the various pleas pre sented. One Congressman after another was ear- 4.They sPke with great earnestness. f. ' effor was made to conceal the f eehng that the existence of the present majority in Con gress depended on the signing of the bill. Mr. McMillm. of Tennessee, said that no Democrat could be elected to Congress in his btate who would endorse a silver veto. He was just back from Tennessee where he said the most intense feeling existed in opposi tion to a veto. Representative Bryan, of Nebraska, took for his text the significant fact that the centre of population in the Lnited States was 800 miles west of New York. He said that the NoThwoator. pie, whether right or wrong, feared that the President had closed his eyes to them and thought only of the East. Mr. Cleveland interrupted to say that he kne w no section and that he had the deepest desire to act for the welfare of the whole people East and West alike Then occurred a striking scene which will belong remembered by the Representatives present. Mr. McCulloch, son of the ex-Sec retary, and now an Indiana banker, had" urgea tnat tne Western banks were not airaia or an oyer supply of silver. He in stanced his own bank, in which he said, there was a constant null fm rjetsj was never on hand in quanti ties greater than the demand. The people appeared to hoard it as muc)i as any- other class of money. s ? At this point President Cleveland framed the reply to. the rhany pleas which had been pouring in upon him and which up to this ppint he had hot attempted, to answer or parry except by casual remarks. He stood beside his large desk, with one hand resting on it, and- spoke to the fifteen or twenty earnest men before him. His words came slowly and with deep earnestness. He spoke of his anxiety to help the Cong ressmen and their people by such action as would be best for the whole country. It was a question above majorities in Cong ress or pf any other personal Ot Seifiso aonsideration. He told them that they had his sympathy and thathe earnestly wished that he was at liberty to look at the matter and act solely from their point of view. In fact, nothing would please him more than to leave the flatter to be settled by Congress. But Con gress had tumed ft over to him, and upon him rested' the' responsibility- which i he could not and would not evade. " The per formance pf hi? full dufy obliged him to consider P-ot the ihtereijts of thisTw tnat sec tion but the welfare ' of the whole people, and that duty he should endeavor to discharge to the best of his ability. ?'0 that end (he had sought information roih all Sw,;:ce3 and heard all interests.

UNIONISTS CHECKMATED. To Stop Plural Voting To Vut the House of liords on Record as Op posed to Needful Legislation Attitude of the Govern ment Toward the Lords 5 Gladstone Still at the Helm. Losiion, March 24. Copyright. The draft of the Registration bill, which is about to be introduced in the House of Commons, confirms the impression which has lately obtained that it is the intention of the Gov ernment to bring about a dissolution of Parliament next autumn. The bill is a mucn Dneter measure than was expected, ft provides simply, for a half yearly regis tration with a three months' residence qualification, and that all elections shall take place on the same day, instead of spreading over several weeks, as has hitherto been the custom. These two pro visions are all that are contained in the bill. The one-man-one-vote principle, upon which the opposition relied as a pretext for de manding the redistribution of the electoral areasuill form a separate measure, in th introduction of which the Government will not be in any great hurry. The decision to to introduce this measure as a distinct bill has taken the opposition by surprise. The Liberal, in effect, aim at the destruction of the system of plural voting, which would be accomplished by the establishment of a system of simultaneous elections. The Unionists, of course, will not take kindly to thu device, -hich completely takes the wind out of their sails, but the 0pE0110IitoJr?Sistration cannot help them. A bill drafted in the simple form indicated Will meet no nhatrnftinna i. , i the House of Commons, and it is difficult to see how it can be rejected by the House of Lords As a matter of fact, the Lords, in consistent as thpv nannllv o i . 4 X Ti . .

No other leaning measure will be introduced until the registration bill is out of the way. i The programme of the Government is de signed to put the House of Lords still fur ther on record as opposing needful legisla lation and it is difficult to see how it can fail of its purpose. Before the Ministry re signs and appeals to the country the electors will pe given several new illustrations of the hostility ot the House of Lords to popular legislation. The Evicted Tenants bill will con- if 4i. S win ensure its rejection uy iiia x-eers ana ine one-man, one-vote pro- I SM'SfTLSK introduced after the passage of the Registra- i i j i.

P'tP bu and the proposal to relegate bcoittish measures to a Scottish grand com mission will follow, and these too are relied era to awaken the ehmity of the tipper House. The almost certain rejection of these measures will have the effect to confirm the determination nf t.ho iwmU fn. i,4' n. legislative power of the House of Lords. a neuisi ve exposition ot tne attitude of the majority of tbe House of Commons towards the House of Lords has hoan . ClliU this Will be OUt forth vprv mnA in tha form of a challenge through the resolution Which ia SOOn tn ho infrrw,n4i ktr lamm Henry Dalziel, a Scottish Liberal. The ex act terms or me motion nave not yet been decided unon but it will tipfina urith tiva cision the intentioaa of the Goveinraeni to wards the House of Lords and pretty clearly outline the future status of that body as the opponents of the hereditary House think it should be. Mr. Gladstone's constituents do not accept the ex-Premier's letter to Mr. Cowan, the coairmapcf the Midlothian liberals, as a - "icicij oa a utumuon Of the pghtical situation as affected by his retirement from active leadership. Every body is haw satisfied tnat there is to be, not only no departure from the Gladstonian programme, but that Gladstone is still the leader of the Liberal party, though Lord Rosebery is nominally at its head. Derforiued iihon -4" 4444.44 fii apueoaaniy- oe JadatQne's eyes will likely be delayed for three days, and until that ume tne ex-Temier will rest, though it is possible that he may make his appearance in the House in the meantime, should any important occasion require. The under slancung" is that ii the operation is successful, and Gladstone is assured that It will bg, ho will immediately return to public life and lead the election cam paign as a candidate for re-election from Midlothian, and after months of perfect rest what is more likely? Barring trouhi with his eyes and slightly defective hearing" he is physiciaUy well ana strong. His re turn to active political work would ensure him an ovation every time he made his appearance on the stump in the populous centres and that, together with his elo quence, would make such an effective ap peal to popular sentiment as would carry the Liberals back to power with greatly in creased majorities. This is oat of the possibilities that the Unionists dread, and one of the probabili ties that the Liberals are looking forward to with feelings of confidence. " n o it.
