District Day In the House Followed by tha Consideration of the Indian Appro priation Hill and Other Roun- tine Matters. Washington, June 12.—The order of work for the house this week is pretty clearly blocked out by the managers, but that the house will fulfil their de sires is very uncertain. Today will be devoted to the alfairs of the district of Columbia. Then the Indian appropria tion bill, of which seven pages were considered last week, will again be taken up under the five minute rule. It is the hope of the leaders that it will be out of the way by Wednesday night, but the outlook is not ilatteriug. If the bill still drags along later in the week, a summary end to debate may be secured by means of an order from the committee on rules. Next in order will come the bill to erect a goverment printing office on one of the public re servations in the city, Mr. Hatchs anti option bill, or Mr. Coopers bill to tax greenbacks as other money is taxed. These three bills are marked for con sideration after the Indian bill is out of the way, and before the general de ficiency bill shall be called up. The order in which they will be considered, however will depend upon the action of the house itself. The Week in the Senate. The fourth draft of the pending tariff bill which was laid before the senate for consideration the 2nd of Inst April names the 80th of June as the time when the law shall go into effect That day ends the fiscal year and throughout all the prolonged debate which h*s since occupied the senate .Jones and Harris hare contended they would begin collecting duties nnder the new law with the beginning of the new year. The present condition of things he'dly supports their belief. There are several important schedules yet to be considered, to say nothing of matters that have been left open pend ing final action when the bill comes out of the committee stage and goes into the senate. The spirit schedule will probably be completed today and the debate on the committee on schedule will then be gin. The wool schedule and the putting of raw wool on the free list—questions which will follow—are bound to call out protracted debate. Prolific-sub jects o' discussion will also be found in the rates fixed on silk, papers, and In the sundries schedule, where coal will be found. Pear* buttons and gloves will be made the basis of con siderable talk and the free list can hardly be disposed of in a day. Three great items in the free list agricultur al Implements, lumber and raw wool - will be stubbornly fought for the pur pose of making a record but without hope of changing the result. When the bill has been finally con sidered in the committee of whole and reported to the senate, the struggle over sugar will be renewed. Mean while the condition of appropriation bills is giving the democratic leaders uneasiness and if they do not get through by June 80, joint resolutions extending the terms of the present ap propriation bills will have been passed. CRAZED”BY JEALOUSY. THE TRADE REPORTS. IlradMrert. Frankly Admit, that South I. Prominently Ahead. New Your, June 9. —Rradstreets says: Nearly all the unfavorable bus iness conditions of the past three weeks continue to exercise an influence. The few exceptions where improvement is noted are of practically local impor tance. Retail trade at many centers has been interfered with by unfavor able weather and by further restric tion of the purchasing power of thous ands of wage earners, by further in dustrial trouble or by shrinkage in product! Mob violence, with at tacks on life and property, have been a feature of the situation, necessitating interference by state troops in many localities. At larger eastern centers, there is no improvement in general business. Among southern cities covered, Rich mond, Savant)ah, Jacksonville and Au gusta report the more favorable condi tions. At the first there is a better de mand for groceries and provisions, for agricultural implements and leaf to bacco, which is quite active. Eastern Florida vegetable regions report con tinued improvement in crops and cor responding stimulation among mer chants, while at the Georgia centres the volume of business is fair in most lines and improved in one or two. Else where south, dullness, slow collections and surplus funds in banks, character- ires business conditions. There is lit tle that is far reaching amending evi dences of improvement reported from the west Dun Regard, the Outlook Bright. R. G. Dnn A Co’s., weekly report of trade says the outlook for business seems a little brighter on the whole, though the change is not great. More over. it is impossible to distinguish be tween mere replacement of orders can celled for want of fuel or other causes, and the new business for which works are anxiously looking. That cancela tions have been heavy is certain, and it is not entirely clear that Orders of equal magnitude have gone to other works that are able to till them. Through the agency of strikes, the in terruption of industry and commerce, increases every week. Hence it is some what encouraging that the decrease in payments through clearing houses is but 24.3 percent for the first week of June 27.2 at New York, but only !9.4 elsewhere. The decrease in comparison with 1892 is about 80 per cent BILL DALTON kTlLED. NEWS IN THE SOUTH. SHOT THREE TIMES. Lawrence Splller Gets a Legal Execution In Virginia. BRIDGE BONING IN ALABAMA.

C.nnuek Crul.er Trie, to Capture a Van. kee Schooner. Gi.ouccster, Mass., June 1*.--The schooner Loring U. Haskell, of this port, arrived home from the banks, and Capt. Day tells the story of her escape from the Canadian cruiser Vigilant on last Monday. He states that on last Saturday the Haskell ran Into Canso for suppltea. One of the men wanted to remain there, but Capt. Day would not consent, and. for revenge, he be lieves, the man told the anthorities that t e Haskell had shipped men in Liver pool in violation of the law, and as a result the Vigilant was notified to seize the vesseL As the Haskell was passing Port Hawkesbury the Vigilant's bow lay di rectly in her path and ordered her to stop. As Capt Day had a perishable cargo, and it would be spoiled if the schooner were seized, he refused to obey the order. The Vigilant's guns ware called into play, and three shots were fired at the fleeing schooner, but she did not stop, and in an hour left the crusier far astern. Capt. Day says: "I have violated no law, for I took out a fishing license in Liverpool and one in New Foundland, and have the right to lay in harbor twenty-four hours with out reporting at the custom-house. ANOTHER FORGER CAUGHT. THE THIRD BRIDGE BURNED. Of Kncenrtlarv Origin, and Indications Point to Striking Miners. Bihminoiiam, June 12.—At an early hour yesterday a bridge on the Linton Branch of the Louisville A Nashville was burned. This is the third railroad bridge that has been burned within the past four days and all of which fires are supposed to have I een of incendiary origin. Investigation showed that the Linton bridge was set on fire, for brush and oiled timbers were found at either end. Suspicion points to the striking miners but so far nothing has been learned that will warrant the arrest of suspected strikers who were known to have been lurking in the vicinity of the fire only a few hours before it started. Saturday morning on the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham railroad near Adamsville, in front of a limited mail from Memphis a bridge was fired but the fire was discovered in time to prevent the train from running into it.

(tufas Ray Murders Ills Wife and Seems Insensible of the Crime. Cl.AHKrivii.LK, Tenn., June 11. Rufus Ray, a farmer living near Erin, in Houston county, Tenn., is in jail for the murder of his wife. Ray's wife was seated at home sewing, when, without warning, the brutal husband walked up and brained her with an iron crow bar, and the woman fell to the floor dead. The father then sent his chil dren to a neighbor with instructions to tell of the deed he had committed. The anthorities were notified and Ray was arrested and pnt in jail. When the officers arrested Ray he was making attempts to out his throat with a razor. He is now in jail at Erin. No reason is given tor the murder. Ray and his wife have not had personal disagreements so far as is known. The murderer seems indifferent about the affair and does not seem to realize what he has done. He was probably crazed and perhaps by jealousy. ACONITE FOfT ALCOHOL. Party of Bondoy Breakers In Alabama Drink a Deadly Hold.
