ayes, -13 iiayn. The motion 1
not vvplr failed a.wyAx;D,
lacked "l9"of the nece.-sary fwo
thirds required to be conelitn
tional. '
The da 'a proceedings added
another number of exciting dis
cussions of the session. Bitter
seeches, denunciatory of the ac
tion of .Metcalle in soliciting a
bribe from Clarke, were made,
particularly by Tyler and (iarret
son, of l'ierce, ai.d he was defend
ed strong y by Meany and I!eH
teiguer, of King, who ackuowl
edod that Metcalle had made a
iiiislakejxit Ids intent was honest,
and the motive is what must be
regarded.
'J he di.-ciiKsion was made nota
ble by a remarkable ppeech by
Metcalle himself, when all U,e
dI hers had concluded, lie defend
ed himselt i-o vigorous-ly and elo
(juenily that he was several tiine
interrupted by apnlausc, and at
the termination a round of chesrs
burst forth from the members snd
tin; hjbby. M.etcalfe reviewed the
entire history of the case and i ,
know ledged that he had soliched
the bribe for the purpose of ex
IK)Hin the briber, lie acknowl
edged bis mistake, but insisted
that his purpose was not discredit
able, because Ids sole de:-iie was to
expose corruption. He denounced
Judge Calkins in the most vehe

liar and a peijurer." Kespoidiig
to the charge of Garretson, o:
fierce, that he, was a criminal.
Metcalle said: "I regret that
cannot meet that charge on the
llo.irof this house, but if it conies
to a question of science, 1 ' will
meet him wherever he chooses."
The house to-day considered at
length WusKom'd railroad bill, and
passed it. It provides that there
shall be a reduction of twenty-live
per cent 011 all . wheat, barler,
melons, Hour and other mill stud s

I.osnos, 1'eb. L'0. The true
stciy oi the facts that led up to he
arrest of Frank 1. Slav'in and
Charles Mitchell forms a curious
pugilistic episode of the Arcadia
Club. The two pugilists have for
some time past been very great
friends, in spite of the fact that
Mitchell Jias been very free in de
claring that he could easily best
Slavin. Mitchell repeated his
boast at the club-bouse, and in
time Slavin joined in the discus
sion, which became very heated.
Slavin at first treated the matter
in a jocular spirit, but in the end
he lost his temper and pushed
Mitchel away with some degree of
force. This seemed to rouse the
blood of Mitchell, who made a rush
at Slavin, hut failed to hit him.
Slavin replied witl a hard one on
his assailant's neck, which floored
the Englishman. Mitchell rose
and reached for a bottle to strike
Slavin, but again the latter was
too quick, and a second tune Sulli
van's former opponent was floored.
A general melee then ensued,
Mitchell usini; chairs and smash
ing tables in his efforts to do up
Slavin, who practically mopped
the iloor with him, and finclly
threw him out of the front door,
here be was hue tied into a cab
by bis friends and driven home,
lie is row confined to his bed on
account of his injuries. Slavin is
unhurt. Action by the club is

Washington, 1-Vb. 2i. United
States Treasurer Houston has
ig:dn tendered his resignation,
and this time it lroks very much
a if all miht be ever le:wcei
him and the president. Theresa
nation was handed in yesterday by
Houston in person, who culled at
the White llotf-e for that purjiose.
The ttoiy got out that r.eilhoi
Houston nor the presitlent was in
an amiable mood, and the meet
ing betttocn tli'i w, lr;.cf rin-1
cold to the point of freezing. Tht
story goes that the president w a1
disposed to accept the resignation
immediately, and send ;n the
name of Mr. Houston's hucccss"r
in time for confirmation by the
senate at this session, but that
subsequently he took a different
view ol the ifiatter, and vesterdav
efforts w ere made to induce Hous
ton to reconsider his action, and
remain w here he is. A newspa
per representative called on Mr.
Houston at his hotel and asked
him if it was true that he hat
banded his resignation in. lie
declined to sav w hether he had ot
not, but said that he has for a long
time desired to return to his hunie
and private affairs.
The princ'pal cause of Mr. Hons
ton's resignation is believed to be
the appointment of Foster to the
secre'aryship of the treasury.
Houston aspired to tiiatottioe, ami
believed he was entitled to that
lecognition at the president's
hands. In the event of a change
in the otlice of treasurer, ex-State
Treasurer Lencke, of Indiana,
will be likely to succeed Mr. Hous
ton. Neither th" president nor United
States Treasurer Huston will con
firm or deny the report that the
latter has tendered bis resignation.
In iii i.N.M-oi.is, Feb. 20. A Sen
tinel special from Evansxide says:
"A priva'e dispatch from Wash
ington announces that J. A.
Lencke, ex-state treasuier of In
diana, has been appointed treas
urer of the United States, vice
Huston, resigned.

Neither of the two was badly hurt,
