Hie Khedive at first nfuaed to comply with the popular demand, tat was finally induced to yield, ft would appear from this that Arabi Bey is again master of the situation, and that, while anarchy is for the time being avert­ ed at Cairo, the complexities of the case era increased rather than dimintehsd by thk flat rejection of the ottimatom af Sngla,n<i and lfau>o& the complete triamph of the military party, the infloeoee exerted te Qaiaj', Bus- sis, Austria and Italy, and the expected ap­ pearance at Cairo of a Turkish oommissioo de­ puted by the Sultan to take a hand in the game of diplomacy. KXBBT moonlighters, to the nnmber of 100, forced tenants on the Hewson estate to swear they would not pay rents unless a redac­ tion of SO per cent was conceded. The in- timldators were well armed. THE military faction at Cairo are much incensed at the tone of the Khedive's note reinstating Arabi Bey as Minister of War. The offensive ckuse stated the Khedive was moved to this step solely to preserve the peace, an outbreak being threatened by the soldiery, and a delegation of officers waited upon Arabi and demanded that the insult to them he svenged by the immediate deposition of the Khedive. They were finally calmed on the state­ ment being made that the settlement of pending questions nad been relegated to the Saltan.. .

Mr. Reed pramnted an amendment to the roles to limit filibustering on aisetion oasis. The Senate was not in session. Mr. Garland offered a resolution in the Sen- ate, on the ttth inst, whioh waa adopted, for an inquiry into the neoesaity of aiding sufferers by the overflow in Arkansas. Messrs. Cockrell, Sherman and McMillan spoke in opposition to the bill to reimburse the Creek Indian orphan fond, which was laid over. An set was passed for the sale .of the old postoffice site in New York for #500,000. Mr. Lapham presented a resolution for the payment of #6,000 to the administratrix of Joho O. Under­ wood for prosecuting his claim to a seat in the Senate from Virginia. Mr. Plumb reported bills to set aside lands for a park in Arizona and to enlarge the powers of the De­ partment of Agriculture. The Japanese In domnity-Fiiud bill was discussed and laid over. In the House, Mr. Reed called up the proposed amendment to tbe rulc« prohibiting dilatory motions on a contested-election ease. Mr. Kendall raised a question of consideration. Mr. Kenna moved an immediate adjournment and Mr. Blackburn proposed to adjoorn over Deooration day. Lost--yeas, 3; nays, 145. Mr. Bandall then moved that the Honse adjourn to June L On that, Mr. Reed mads a point of order that on tbe proposition to amend the roles dilatory motions cannot be entertained. Mr. Randall denied the right of the Speaker to pot any aooh construction on his motion. Mr. Reea pro­ posed to discuss the point of order, sod sug­ gested a limit be put on that discussion. No agreement to that end, however, was made, and the Speaker said he would not make the u less than an hour on each side. i,;,, , Dead With One BIow^ » M*. William Heath was drivtegn cow and young calf along the road, and when they came to the creek the cow stopped in order to drink. On the op­ posite side of the creek and a few feet off stood a large ram. As the cow was drinking she would frequently lift up her head as if she was uneasy about the calf. The ram took this as a banter for a fight, and, walking up near the cow, reared up and gave her a butt centrally in $he head and killed the cow almost Mr. Reed then opened the discussion. He claimed tnat the House had, under tho consti­ tution, certain powers expressly conferred upon it--powers whioh it could exercise without letor hindrance by any ether body; powers whioh it could not surrender, which it could not trade away, whioh it must perform, and the first of these powers was to judge of the eleotion re­ turns and qualifications of its own members. This House has been endeavoring during the last ten days to perform that duty, bnt had been prevented by dilatory motions. The best and most orderly way to put a stop to that course was to amend the rules, and that was tbe object now. He maintained the proposi­ tion that wherever there is a duty imposed upon Congress to accomplish a certain work, it^s the doty of the Speaker to carry out that rule of law or of the constitution. He cited the ruling of Speaker Bandall when there was filibustering against the execution . of the Electoral Count law, and when an obstruction was attempted by Springer, to the effect that he (the chair) had al­ lowed this, and had allowed that, and had al­ lowed the other, in the way of motions, tat the House was now brought to a point where it must act Mr. Beed referred to the decision by Mr. Blaine to the effect that, pending a proposition to change the rales, dilatory mo­ tions cannot be entertained. He closed by stating that the minority had no right further to delay the action of the House. Randall proceeded to reply to Mr. Reed. He ad­ mitted that tbe rules of a legislative body were first for the orderly conduct of busi­ ness, and next for the protection of the rights of the minority. In this latter point he quoted from the rulings of the Speakers of the English House of Commons. He argued that just as the constitution prescribed the manner in whioh it should be amended, so the rules prescribed the manner in which they should be changed. As to his own decision in the electoral-count case, he put it on the ground that the law under which the House was then acting wa® greater than the rules, and cut off dilatory motions. In the present case, however,, there was no law interfering with the rules. As to Mr. Blaise's ruling, or rather dictum, lb. Randall asserted that it had never been pressed, nor any advantage taken of it, bat that, on tbe contrary, efforts had been made on that occa­ sion (when the Cuil Bights bill wag under con­ sideration) to suspend the rules ao ss to out off dOatorr mottoM. wtttuMia miM. tfami. alter Blaine's dictum, ithadbeencoaoeded that only by a two-thirds vote ooold dilatory motions be out off. In conclusion, he justified the ac­ tion of the minority in this contested election. Measm, Kasson, Carlisle, Haskell, Blackburn, Robeson, Cox, Hooker, McLean, Reagan, Ran­ dall and Haselton aired their views on the issue, consuming three hoars. The Speaker sustained Mr. Reed s point of order. Mr. Randall took an appeal, which was tabled by 160 to 0. Mr4 Cox presented a protest by 100 Democratic! members. The report of the Committee on Rales was adopted by 160 to 2. Mr. Miller, of Pennsylvania, obtained the floor oo the South Caralioa contested-electioo oase^ whan •the House adj omasa for the day. Immediately after the mailing of the journal in the House, on the 80th ult, Mr. Springer, of Illinois, objected to its approval as it omitted mention of two important motions made by him and ignored by the Speaker. In prooeeding with his argument he was called to order by the Speaker. " 1 have the right to speak," said Mr. Springer. "If I am not in order let my remarks be taken down. The Speaker in the chair can very well afford--" Mr. Springer at­ tempted amid excitement and confusion to proceed with his remarks, but was told peiv emptonly by the Speaker that 'the Scrgeant-at-Arms would bo directed to force him, at least to desist The Democratic mem­ bers gathered around Mr. Springer, giving him aid and encouragement, while many Republican members were also on their feet protesting an­ grily against Mr. Springer's course. Sir. Springer informed the Speaker defiantly that be would not be taken from the floor. Mr. Humphreys--" You can and will; I can do it myself." [Laughter.] Mr. Springer--"It would take a larger pattern than you to do it" [Continued laughter.] The Speaker-- " The chair can very well afford to allow the gentleman from Illinois to make improper remarks in so far as they apply to the chair alone, but it is quite another tiling when the gentleman undertakes to destroy theaignity of the House by his own conduct" Mr. Springer--'6 That has been already destroyed." "That is BO," said Reed, "by your side of the House." The Speaker--"Any proper motion that the gentleman may wish to make relating to correcting the journal will be entertained by the chair and submitted to the House. The Journal Clerb, in omitting motions that were not entertained,, pro­ ceeded exactly in accordance with the rule." Mr. Knott claimed that the Speaker had made a mistake in refusing to entertain & legitimate motion. A proposition to correct the journal was lost by 89 to 134. Mr. Miller then argued for two hours in support of the report of the Elections Committee on the South Carolina oontested-seat case, and exhibited tickets used in the elections in that State. The discussion was continued by Mr. Davis, of Missouri, against the report and by Mr. Paul, of Virginia, in favor of tlie report At the conclusion of Mr. Paul's speech Mr. Calkins inquired whether, if an evening session were dispensed with, and the Houae now adjourned, the discussion would be re- sumed to-morrow without any obstruction from the Democratic side. The answer came back resolutely from Messrs. Morrison. Atkins, Ran­ dall and other Democratic members, that no agreement whatever would be made. Mr. Calkins then gave notice that he would call the previous question on the contested- election case at 6 o'clock the fol­ lowing day. A recess to 8 o'clock was taken, at which hour Mr. Atherton moved to adjourn to morning. A claim that no quorum was pres­ ent caused a call of the House, whioh eoosamed two hours. Tbe House then adjourned. The Senate wss oot io session. Mr. SeweQ, from the Committee on Military Affairs, reported a bill to the Senate, on the 31st ult, for the relief of Fitz John Porte** The bill authorizes the appointment of Mr. Por^ ter to the position of Colonel in the army, with the same grade and rank held by him at the time of dismissal from the army, provided ha •hall receive no pay, compensation or allowance whatsoever for the time intervening between his dismissal from the service and his appointment under this act Mr. Lo­ gan presented the views of the minor­ ity of the committee, and both reports were ordered printed. Mr. Logan presented an act to allow the widow of Minister Hurlbat hu salary for one year. A long debate took place on the bill to reimburse the Creek orphan fund. Mr. Garland oalled up an act to grant the right of way through Indian Territory to tin- Missis­ sippi, Albuquerque and inter-Ooean rail­ way, but Mr. Ingalls objected. The Japanese Indemnity bill was discussed. In the House, the contested-election case of Mackcy vs. Dibble was, after a most exciting -atad diiovdaftr sosnsy ttnsliydispossd of, Maofe a vote of 180 tot.

Mr. Reed, of Maine. Immediate^ moved to table the resolution, and it was entertained by the Speaker, thus cutting off Mr. MoiLana. The soene whioh followed was the wildest ever known in the House, fifty members shooting simultaneously for recogni­ tion, and Speaker Keifer being pale with anger. Finally, tar a party vote, the resolutions were tabled. The ltenabM<*n>» then culled op the Florida oase of Bisbee vs. Fsnley. The Hoose voted to consider ft, and then adjourned, • A bill authorising the roastmctfon of a rath road bridge across the Sault Ste.

Mr. Bayard opposed oompulsoiy retirement at 62, and Mr. Logan defended it Mr. Butler gave notice of an amendment excepting Gens. Sherman, Sheridan, Hancock and How­ ard. Mr. Maxay announced a motion to strike the elaose from the U1L A prolonged debate ensoed, but no action was taken. j?he House took op the Florida contested-election case of B sbee vs. Finley. Speeches were mmi«> by Messrs. Beltahoovsr, Jones, McMillan BOj Bisbee, when a resolution declaring tbe latter entitled to a seat was passed by iS to 9, and he was sworn in. Mr. Haseltine called op the contested-election case of Lowe va Wheeler, from Alabama, and the House decided to consid­ er it Then Messrs. Kenna and Cox, of New York, rose respectively to a parliamentary inquiry and a point of order, and a stormy scene ensued which continued some time Mr. Cox that he had made s motion to adjoorn (Mr. Hasleton having yielded to him for that pur­ pose), whioh he had never withdrawn, " and [to the Speaker] you know it" Mr. Page, of Calif ornia, rose excitedly, and demanded that the gentleman from New York should be respeetftu to the chair. [Derisive laughter and shouts of "Oh," "Oh," on the Democratic side.] Mr. Cox (to Mr. Page)--"You cannot lecture me ; you are not the Speaker." The Speaker stated that Mr. Cox had withdrawn his motion to adjourn, and that thereafter he had not been entitled to the floor. Mr. Cox asked to make a statement in reply, bat the Speaker stated he had already made his state­ ment, and the chair was willing the two state­ ments should stand side by side. Mr. Reed then moved lo adjourn, ana the Spoak«r pat the question, notwithstanding Mr. Cox's efforts to be heard. "Well," said Mr. Cox, "that is what I call brute force--mere brute force." "It is not," replied the Speaker. The House then adjourned. The Senate found itself without a presiding officer when it convened on Friday, Jnne 2, owing to the absence of David Davis. He des­ ignated Mr. Ingalls to act for the day. The point was immediately taken that the Acting Vice President had no right to make such des­ ignation. and that the President would have to be elected by the Senate. The parliament­ arians were instantly ready with precedents for and against the power of the President of the Senate to make the appointment. Meanwhile the Secretary of the Senate presided.

Thirty-seven bucks were killed and ton taken prisoners. The entire camp outfit, including fifty head of stock, was captured. The Mex­ ican loss was one officer and eight men killed, two officers and twelve men wounded. This, with the losses sustained in the previous fight with the United States and Mexican troops, leaves the hostiles badly demoralized. No raids are probable for some time to come.

MINNESOTA AXD DAKOTA.--Crop dispatcties gathered at 8t Paul from Southwestern Min­ nesota and Sonthern Dakota report favorable weather and snail grains doing well at preeent In Northern lows the aeresge of wheat is 10 per cent, snd that of corn 50 per oent. greater than that of last year. Corn is nearly all planted, bat the weather is still too cold for it to grow well. It is beginning to come up, however, in some localities. In Southern Dakota wheat and nnall groins look fair, snd corn is all planted. In the Minnesota valley ail min but corn is doing well. The corn planted before this last cold snap is nearly all frozen in the ground. Farmers are now replanting, and with warm weather hereafter the crop may oome out all right. NKBEASKA. --Crop reports collected by the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad Oom­ pany and by leading grain merchants in Lin- ooln, Neb., are quite favorable to small grain, and show no uneasiness in regard to corn. The latter bas suffered some from wet weather and iome replanting will have to be done, but in tbe main the crop promises welL Should the present warm, growing weather oontinae through June a large corn crop will be assured. There is but one opinion in the matter of small grain. It never looked bettor than at present. JLUCSAS.--The reports from a large portion of the counties in Kansas show that the wheat never looked better at this season of the year and promises an abundant yield. The cold rains of the past week pat an end to the work of the chinch -bog on the wheat for this year. The oorn has most all been planted, and is nearly a foot high in some the counties, and looks well. Never in the history of the State has the prospect been so favorable for a big fruit crop. All kinds of fruit are looking welt and the farmers have commenced 00mplaining that there is going to be too much fruit, and that tbe prices will be so low that it won't pay to Ming it to market IOWA.--A Sioux City dispatch says: Acreage of corn over last year, 60 per cent, and, ex­ cepting a little coolness, prospects are good. Wheat prospects are also good, but the acreage is one-fourth less. Otber grains are doing weB, and the country generally ia prospering. Wisconsin AND MICHIOAN.--Wisconsin has had trouble with spring wheat, bnt in parts of the State the srea shows increase, and the con­ dition of tho crop ia good ; the yield ought to be considerably in excess of last year. Barley Is being cultivated increasingly in Wisconsin, and it promises well. In Mionifun the condi­ tion of the wheat is excellent, ILLINOIS. --At Springfield dispatch to the Chicago Times says : Winter wheat on drained land is much above an average in condition, and, with favorable conditions until harvest, there will be more than an average yield per acre. Notwithstanding the fact that tho win­ ter-wheat area of the State is 10 per cent, less than last year, the prospects at this date when compared with the corresponding date last season is favorable for 82 per cent, larger yield per acre in Northern Illinois, 40 per oent. larger yield per acre in Central Illinois and 26 per cent, larger yield per acre in South­ ern Illinois. Com planted before the cold weather in April and at intervals since, much to the surprise of old corn-growers, has made considerable growth during the period of low temperature, and, while lacking vigorous, healthy color, is, under the circumstances, doing well, and with a few days of warm sunshine will make rapid growth. Tbe area of potatoes and oats is much larger than last year. OHIO AND INDIAKA.--A recent telegram from Cincinnati says: Reports of farmers visiting the city, mercantile travelers and correspon­ dents of business houses daily received give flattering accounts of tho prospect of wheat in the portions of Ohio, Indiana and Kentuokv immediately tributary to Cincinnati. The acreage is from 15 to 20 par oaaLautoc than that of laat year. The sat on the ground is thick, the atom vigorous, the heads large, and the yield to the acre promises to be 30 to 35 per oent. greater than that of last year. ^ I» GENERAL.--In general it may be safety stated, at this writing, that the cool, wet weath­ er has not been unfavorable for wheat, and has rendered it the conspicuous service of keeping bade the fatal chinch bug. If it has injured the oorn it may have more than compensated for it by the opportunity it has afforded the yonng wheat of getting a good start before the chinch bag was able to be out. But it is not Ei certain that the oorn haa been seriously lu­red. It is backward; large tracts that should ve been planted are not planted vet. The, area of both corn and wlieat is considera­ bly increased, and the condition of the former is not such, with rare exceptions, as to dis­ courage the farmers, who are confident that if tbe weather now becomes favorable no harm will have been done by the wetnees and coldness of the season. Oats, rye and potatoes appear to have been planted in liberal quantities, and to be promising welL NATIONAL FINANCE. PBMIC Debt Statement.

( 1 The great strike of the iron-workers waa in­ augurated to-day. Twenty thousand men and boys who yesterday added to the wealth of the community by good, honest work are to-day idle consumers. Yesterday, this vast army of producers earned fully $80,000; to-day tbey squandered part of it A strange stillness pre­ vails throughout the city. Clouds of impene­ trable smoke no longer hang over the town. Tbe strike brushed than away as if by magic, leaving a dear sky and bright sunlight seldom witnessed in Pittsburgh. All the thirty-odd iron mills in the two cities are idle, with one single exception--the Union Mills of Carnegie Bros, & Co. Thousands of men, arrayed in best apparel, all dav long pa­ raded tho streets, talking, laughing and squan­ dering their money. The strikers are quiet and orderly. They have the sympathy of the public, and! will commit ' no breach of the peace unless goaded by desperation to turn the tide of public sentiment against them. Speculation as to the final result of the strike continues. Both sides an sanguine of suooess, and both express a determination to fight till it gains the victory.

The mat strike of the iron-workers began here to-day. The press statement that the or­ der to go out toad been postponed for a fort­ night seems to have been unfounded. The word came from Pittsburgh at a late hoar last evening, and at midnight tbe works of the North Chicago Rolling Mill Oompanr, at Bay Yiew, were dosed, with the exception of the rail mill, which will run until Saturday. Th® principal furnaces are now being blown out. The strike throws 2,000 men ont of employ­ ment at Bay Yiew alone, and a number have been ordered ont of tbe city foundries by the union. CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jnne 1. No less than 15,000 men will be affected by the lockout or strike whioh began at Youngs- town to-day. As a matter of course the mines will close when there is no longer a demand for coal, and with the furnaces closed the demand for coal must cease. The manufacturers claim that to grant the demands of the workmen would be to operate the mills at: a loss to the | 2Ui0 company. Both sides are equally firm, and, from appearances, the strike may last a year. It is worthy of remark that no bitterness whatever exists between the men and their employers. • WHEELING, W. Va., June 1. All the nail mills of this city shut down to­ day, and expect to remain closed for an indefi­ nite period. There appears to be no «Jispo4» tion whatever on the part of the manufactu­ rers to start them until the situation hag radi­ cally changed. They expreas themselves as resolutely determined not to pay the advanoe in wages asked. , CHICAGO, Jnne 9. A squad of white and colored em­ ployes of the Joliet Iron and Steel Com­ pany, who took the place of strikers along the Chicago docks, left the city about 5 o'clock last evening on an Alton accommodation train.

She was found guilty, and on being asked if the had anything to say whir sentence of death should not be passed, made an answer s© much like one given more recently by another criminal that I give it here: "No, your Honor; I am innocent, I am resigned to all that may happen.

The most noted case of similar char­ acter occurring in this country is that of Jesse Pomeroy, the boy torturer and muderei of Massachusetts. The plea of insanity here was of some avail, for his sentence of death was commuted to im­ prisonment for life.
