WASHINGTON , May 18 , 4 p. m. The house bill to establish an auay office in StLouir , wai reported and referred 1'toftho committee of the ' whole. fr Tho.pansion appropriation bill was roported'back" . It contains an addi tional clause appropriating 50,000 to enable the secretary of the treas ury to send steamers to > the relief 'of officers and crews of whalers impris oned in the Arctic ocean. The bill was considered in the house as in committee of the whole. It was agreed that when the bill was disposed of a separate measure would be re ported , construing the act placing col ored persons who onliiled in the army on the same footing as other soldiers as to bounty and pension , so as to ex tend its provisions to the heirs of such soldiers in their claims for military ser vice. The bill was passed. McLean said he found a published letter addressed to him. and to Ellis , as members of the committee on Paci fic railroads , by J. A. George , charg ing certain bribery and corruption upon . .congress which had passed the TelePacific bill. That letter had RODO to the newspapers without iho knowledge cf the committee. The letter will be submitted to the com mittee next meeting. The senate amendments to the post- office appropriat ion bills were referred to i he appropriation commit eo Tbe house went into committee of the whole on the bill makine an ap propriation for the support of the agri- cu'tural depaitment The bill appro priates § 213,000. which is § 130,000 less than the eit mate. Mr. Aiken spoke of the importance of this department In the course of his remarks he s'ated that tariff legis lation of the country discriminated gain&t agricultural interests. Mr. Kclley denied this , and insisted that the tsritf bill was of especial ad vantage to the farmer. The bill was theu considered by sections. Mr. Young , of Tenneuee , offered an amendment , which was adopted , providing that the amount appropria ted bo at the discretion of tha commis sioner of agriculture and in experi ments'fdrimproving different varieties of cotton. Mr. Gillette offered an amendment appropriating § 50,000 , to set up appa- iaus for the manufacturing of sugar at agricultural fairs to demonstrate the practicability of making sugar of corn stalks. Ho said it had been pro ven that a sufficient amount of sugar could be extracted from corn stalks after the com had been harvested to rotlize ] a * much money to tbo acre as the corn itaelf. The amendment was ruled outou a point of order. Mr. Converse offered anamendmeut appropriating $20,000 to sink artesian wehum ! the plains east of the Rocky mountalcs , with a view to reclaiming the lands. - After some * dbcwdon witb.out ac- ( ion on the amendment , the commit tee rose ft 4:30 p. m. aud the house tojk a recess till 7:30 p. m. EVENING SESSION. The session of house J&st night wai for the purpose of considering the bil tc organize a court on pensions. Mr. Fair opposed thc.whole scheme because be did not believe it could beef of any avail. : In the course of discussion Mr. Warner said the pension law at pres ent constituted-a dematfd for an an nual apptopriation of , $38,000,000 besides this applications were.coming in at the rate of § 8,000 to § 10,000 a month. If all appropriations now on file were allowed , there would be re quired an immediate appropriaton o ; 212,000OOOforJaTeara and pensions. The roll would thereafter call for an annual appropriation of § 1,000,000. Nearly the whole evening tvas taken up with a discussion of second section tif the bill which defined the class oi cues that might coino before the court.'sre.ated by the bill. It was Jn- sieted on one hand and 3enied on the other that the biil gave such origins : jurisdiction that cases that bad never been before the commissioner of pen sions might be brought before the court and that it therefore opened the door to every man who had served in the array'whether he was under disa bility ornot. The section was amended to limit jurisdiction to appealed ciscs. Without disposing of the 'bill ' the house adjourned. - SENATE. Bayard failed to get bis bill regulat ing the pay of deputy marshals con sidered in the senate during the morn ing hour , bcraujo it had not been printed and laid on the senators desks.

Senator S&ulshury spoke at some lenuth on tbo Kellogg case , favoring Hill's rcpoit.

That Hanlan May Beat Him In .tbo Great Race To-Day. Special dispatch to The lice. WASHINGTON , May 19 1 a. m From outward indications it is safe to predict that Courtney is doomed to defeat in bia great racu to-day with Haulan. All signi indicate his de feat. All prospect predict it and bet ting is nearly three to ono against him with few takers at these odds. The change in the general feeling as to the probability of the race has been sud- ien and decided. Hanlan has been the favorite from the start , but up to yesterday it has been generally con- ' : oded that the result wa < doubtful. Two events have contributed to bring about a change , the first is the arrival of a large number of Canadians with jockets full of money and anxious to > et. They have frightened Courtney's letters and bulled Haulan stock nntil at nine o'clock last night they were offering 100 to 35 on their favontc.and inding occasional takers. An impor. ant event alto was another mishap to Juurlney. Ho took a hard pull yes- erJay morning and was afterward * eTztd with "violent pains which lusted lim all day. A few held to the belief , hnt Courtney was only shamnrn ? and hat it was a trick imcntcd to Inar Courtney stock , but careful Inquiry ihnns th it tin headache is both gcnu- tie and ceverd. The public g ner lly s inclined to believe that is an cvi- lence that Courtney has not recovered mm his sunstroke and is no longer , Ho to pull a hard race. News of his ndisposition has revived the predic- ion that lie would not row and that iiley would yet have to make up ho raco. Courtney himself repudiates this idea. "I shall certainly > ut in an appearance if I live , and hall row as fast and as long as I can , " 10 said. These are outward indica- ions and if there is not some trickery > ehind it all it seems more than proba ble that Hanlan must win. He is in irime condition which Courtney ccr- ainlyisnot. The race will not bo tarted until very late in the afternoon n order that Courtney may not bo af ected by the aun. If , therefore , his icadache should prove to be unim- rortant and there should bo no return if it , erne otheraccidentshould occur luring the race it will not be a walk over for Hanlan. There has been ome talk tliat Hanlan intended to ell out the race and let Courtney win , mt there is no evidence of snch inton- ions and Hanlan denounced the re- > ott as a lie. The rae will bo witnessed by an mmense concourse of spectators , irobably larger than has ever before ; athered at a boat race in this coitn- ry.

Special Bupatch to Tbe Bee. LONDON , May 19 1 a. m. The effect of the acccsioa of the Gladstone ministry to power already begins to be apparent. Abroad it is well under stood that Gladstone is such an ad mirer of RUSMA and is EO thorougnly on her side in every way that he will not permit any obstacle to be thrown in her path by England , consequently Russii is now moving forward more rapidly than formerly in her schemes of conquest in the far East. It is re ported that she is about to send an army corpi of 24COO , men to make a demonstration on the Chinese frontier and thus , take the first step in the campiign , which , however protracted it may be , has for its ultimate pur pose the pushing of the Russian con quest to the China sea.

Lepira for two years jefora his appointment ns minister of commerce and agriculture.

There is every Indication o7a lively time in the convention to-morrow. I ! the Grant men have a majority they threaten to select , by a committee ol the convention , forty two delegates , and to instruct them to vote as a unit for Grant. It IOOKS this af ternoon as the regular delegates from Cook county will stand a tair show ol admission , though ther.i is no tell ing what the bulldozing ol Grautites may accomplish between now and noon to-morrow. Should themachinists insist upon the rejection of the whole or part of the regular delegation , there w ill bo trouble and perhaps two conventions. Wash- burno and Bliine men through out the state will stand by the regu'ara from Cook to the extent , it is claimed , of withdrawiug with them if the outrage of ousting them , is per petrated. It is proposed by some to ask the Grant managers this afternoon whether they will consent to admit the regulars ; and if not to start a second end conventou of Blaine and Wa h- burne men in the senate chamber sim ultaneously with the opening of the Grantite convention in the house. The outlook for a peaceful solution of the Cook county difficulty is not at present promising. The Grantites are moving heaven an earth to secure a majority. The central committee , of which the Grantites have a majority , at its mooting this evening will select a temporary chairman. Some violent Grantites propose toseathim by physi cal force , if necessary. The committee on credentials is evenly divided out side of Cook county. QKANT FIGURING. Special Dispatch to the Bee.

The Grant men are now claiming 3G3 votes aside from Cook county , which is 128 more than a majority. It is claimed that when a dispatch from Washburnc is read , asking his friends to vote for Grant , theWashburne del egates will flock to the Grant stan dard. The opposition do not present any figures as to their strength in the convention , and virtually concede a majority to Grant. They have hopes of overcoming tins by superior man agement with regard to the Cook coun ty split. RUMOEED COMPROMISE. Rumors yesterday were current of a compromise between Logan and Far- well , leaders of the two factions , but it could not bo traced to a reliable source. The Washburno men resent the assertion that they are under Far- well's control. Grant leaders from Chicago say that they will have at least 30 of their delegates seated. A meeting of delegates elected by cena- borial districts at. the Palmer house , Chicago , was held yesterday , Robert Lincoln , president , and Stephen A. Douglas , secretary. R. S. Tuthill ad dressed the meeting , and said that the men elected by the Farwcll hall con vention were boldly and loudly pro claiming about the streets that they did not propose to submit to the state convention unless action was favorable to them , or , in other words , they don't propose to let the convenfaosVsay who were the proper delegates and who were not. Wo came down here with our case , wo believe it It a good one , we will lay it bsforo the state conven tion , and as good republicans wo pro pose to abide by the result of its deci sion. Ho believed he spoke the mind of all present in taking that ground , and he knew that it was the position that would win , and ho therefore of fered the following resolutions , which were adopted : WHEBEAS , There u a contest as to the delegations from several senatorial districts in Cook county to the atato convention ; and , WHEREAS , This delegation , repre senting the friends cfGcn. Grant , have confidence in the justness of our cause , as it will bo made to appear to the state convention , and also in the sense of right and disposition ta do straightforward justca which wo be lieve the state convention will exer- cisa in passing upon and deciding the question at issue in the contest from Cook county. Therefore , be it Resolved , That we will submit our cause to the state convention , and , as true and reliable republicans , we will , in good faith , abide by its decision. TILDES'S INTIMIDATION.
