The money herein amiro- pnatoJ shall be held by said chairman Washington, January 18 '89. Yesterday was the field day in the House for the Speaker. The result was that it took the regular Speaker and two Speakers pro tempore to straighten out the entanglements whioh followed one upon the other during the afternoon, The oooaBion was the interpretation of the special order by whioh Mr. Springer had leave to present his substitute for the Senate bill admitting the DakoSas. After the general debate bad dosed Mr. Burrows made the point of order whioh the Republicans had been holding baok against the substitute. The spe cial order allowed only the substitution of the House bill originally reported by the oommittee, which contained simply a provision admitting Dakota aa a whole. However, Mr. Sprjjiger called up a mod ified substitute for the divi sion of Dakota. Mr. Burrows made the poiut of order that this modified substi tiite could not be considered as oarry ing out the orignal intention of the House, and in this he was sustained by th Chair. But this opportunity had not given Mr. Burrows all the time he wished in whioh to boom his candidacy for Speaker, and he submitted a point that under the rules an omnibus bill oould not be substituted for a bill relat ing to a single Territory. Upon this point he made his gi-and-staud display as a candidate for Speaker. He had his desk surrounded by a large seotion of the Congressional Library, from whioh he quoted a varieiy.ol paragraphs, more or less convincing, as tho prooeedure of past Congresses, and by this means di rented attention to the fact that he would be a pretty good man to have us a pre siding oflioer to unravel the parliament ary entanglements that may ooour in the next House. Mr. Springer is a sort of parliament ary Ajax, and he stood defiant while the ohain lightning of Burrow's argument played about him. Mr. Reed entered the contest, and the result was that the House in a few minutes divided upon party linos. This was what Mr. T ii rows did not want. He had made an elabornte presentation of a delicate point, and he could not afford to be ruled as holding an untenable position, which would inevitably have happened had ths House been called upuu to re view the decision of the Chair. At tiie last moment Mr. Burrows withdrew his point of order, thereby admitting that he bad made a failure to distinguish him self as a parliamentarian. Mr. Chang Yen Hoon, the present ministor from China, will return to the Howery kingdom next June, as his term of office here will expire then. On his arrival at l'ekin, he will rank fifth in oonsequence from the emperor; that is, be is a very high caste mandarin, Iu all probability Mr. Chang will be made governor of one of the larger , dependen cies of China. Mr. Koo Shune lug, a student transla tor of the Legation, who has been hera for three years, although a young man, has a romance in his life. His father i the treasurer of tho government, a high official. Mr. Koo was prominent in the sooiety of the oourt cirolo and saw and loved a maiden fair. He woed her and she was not deaf to his entreaties, but the mother of the young suitor would not aocept the maiden hs had chosen Another bride was seleoted for Mr. Koo, and during the long engagements ous ternary in CL.na the young man, through the great influence of his father at court. mis sent to American to have his mind improved. When he goes to Pekin this year it is as the groom-elect of the lady of his parent's choice whom he will mar ry. It is given in explanation to the very natural question as to why no high caste ladies of China' are brought here, that they are extremely delicate in oon stitulion, and would be totally unable to bear tne fatigues of the ocean voy ages. Mr. Koo, however, avers that should ho be sent here as minister he will bring his wifujitb him. Uongressman Mason, or (Juicago, was doing the honors the other day for sever al of bis constituents from the Windy City. One pf his main "heelers" when Mnj. Martin, of Texas, was poiutud out to him, said: "O, yes; I mind a lot of stuff printed about him. What was it be done made him so conspicuous?" "Why," said Mr. Musou, "It was re ported that when he first came here he blew out the gas just before going ti bed in his room at a Washington hotel. ''Well what of it; why was such a fuss mude alxmt it?" asked the Chicago oon atitucrit from Blue Islaud. "Whv on account of his blowing out the gas light," said Mr. Mason. "Well," said another constituent from the Black Road, "you don't tbiufc a man of any seriHu is going to sleep iu the room with the liuut burning do you. 1 don't see whore the laugh comes in Washington, January 25 '89. The operations of party discipline are by no means so evident in Congress as during the campaign. The eleotion has practioally settled the status of the two parties for the next four years, and there is a great deal more independence of ac tion on the part of the senators and rep resentatives. This is well illustrated by be understanding that when the senate tariff bill goes over to the house a good many members not classified as Randall lemoorats will vote for tho senate bill, though it is well known that they would not have done so previous to the 6th of last November. On the other hand, it is believed that a republican senate will substantially agree to the Springer om- uibns bill, piovided that they do not have to swallow New Mexioo. On both these bills the sharpest kind of party fighting has bwj done, but tho members of neither party were so solidly united iu opinion as might have been presumed by their respective votes before the presi dential election. This state of affairs is gratifying to the extent that it gives some promise of legislation before the end of the session other than that sug gested by partisan considerations. Up to to-day the eleotoral votes for 20 states have been received and found to bo correct. Those of Delaware, Mary land aud Texas have been found to be irregular and have been returned. It is asserted as probable that the elsctors of eaoh of these three states will have to be reconvened. Nothing, so fur, has been heard from either Nevada or Oregon.- The messenger started baok with the Texas vote yesterday afternoon. Theoretical politicians at the capital are now busy dismissing "what might have been" if some of those who voted for the tariff bill and against it or vice versa. Senator Riddleberger declared on the floor, after the vote had boen tak en, that had it not been for the fact that he was paired, he would have voted against the bill. Suoh action on his . part would have made the result a tie. Four or five hours before Senator Rid dleberger gave uttoranoe to his person al opinion, Senator Blair had said to a friend that if his vote would defoat the bill he would be found with the opposi tion. Mr. Blair said he was forced to this position by tCe aotion of the senute in making certain reductions iu the lum ber sohedulo, but realizing that his soli- r tary vote would not defeat the. measure he voted for it for politioal reasons only. If Blair and Riddleberger had come to gether before the vole was taken aud had mutually discovered eaoh other a sentiments, say some of the demoorats, the bill would have been defeated. The supporters of the bill were uot ulnrinod this morning by the soareorow of yester day. They say that no such oombiu'' tion conid'posibl havo beoti'ia?-!'.'-. . .t .

To have defeated the tariff bill would have wrecked Mr. Riddleborgor's ohauoes. The advocates of women suffrage held their annual meeting in this oity in tha nrly part of the woek. Tiie ladies wer gratified with the interest shown by the general publio iu the meeting, and thoy consider that the addresses have been more eloquent und oouviuoing, if possi ble, than ever before. Tho andienoes have been composed in the main of ladies who may be Baid to represent the modern progressive woman. It would seem that the women of advanced idoas find it no longer necessary to domonstrate that fact by absurdities either in dress or in ideas. There was nothing in the ap pearance of the audiences ut these meet ings to indicate that they were not gatherings in tho interest of missions or one of the many causes which enlists so extensively tho sympathy and active ef forts of women throughout the country. Miss Anthony, in tho absence of the president of the association, Mrs. Stan ton, presided with her usual tact, aud the importance and progress of tho movement was nbly presentod by nearly nil the prominent ladies conneotod with the association. The effeot of the long tariff discussion has been sovore upon Senator Allison, judging from his appearance. Ho has had the entire responsibility of directing the bill through the stormy passage in the Senate, and muoh of hn time out side of that Bpont in disonssion was bc- ii pied in hearings and the arduous work of the committee room. A" few months igo there was no more placid, contented looking Senator on the floor of that body,' but now at the close of this long debate he appears weary and careworn and to tally unlike the Allison of a year ago. Senator Aldrioh has likewiuo had a great deal of responsibility as the assist ant to Mr. Allison in the direction of tho bill, but the tax on his nervous energy was not so great as that on the former and he does not show any ovidonne of the struggle. it. IN TUB II.DS OF IDAHO. Capt. OroziiT, an Idaho raui-liman, got caught in the snow storm while on bis way from his ranch on Diamond creek to Chloride, a small mining oamp. Ho was mounted but soon lost his way. He had neither a gun with him to discharge and thus attraot attention und help, nor matches to start a fire. All he had was a pocket knife. When he found that ho was getting benumbed he killed his horse with a knife, took out the entrals and crawled into tho warm carcass, leav ing only the liver inside. Completely covered up with snow he remained in this retreat for three days, eating mean while a portion of the horse's liver. When ho was missed a party went out to hunt for him and was successful in its search. He wus taken to Fairview, a mining cain( on the Cnilnllo Megro crt-ek. Ho is badly fiiost bitten. Lo calizer.
