HOUSE. fo > Special dispatch to The Bee. Oi WASHINGTON , June 15 4 p. m. The report of the conference commit ofiwi tee sundry civil bill was adopted. It wi th appropriates § 22,523,000. The clause directing the secretary of the treasury to pay the money appropriated in the Sp bill in silver coin , was stricken out , SpFt and a clause added appropriating $10- FtM M [ 000 for the expencea of the Indian fo ! commission. eti etiM While the house was discussing the M [ . sugar bill Conger said it was devised te ; pe to protect foreign labor and destroy cli American labor. Frye excitedly characterized that statement as one which did not con tain a word of truth. fai Conger said such a remark s'canda- faiBe lens andunworthy [ of its author. tei Pending further consideratiou of im the sugar bill , the conference report of on the bill to settle property at Hot str Springs , Arkansas , was agreed to. kn The above business having been knwa disposed of , the con1 est over the eu- bu gar tsriff bill was resumed and with the tame result as before. A bill appropriating § 100,000 to , carry in to effect the claims of the convention entered into between the th United States and the French repub aa lic , eigned en the 15th of January , aaBe 18SO , was passed. There'was now a struggle for the boAi floor , when the regular order was de Ai manded. tn Mr. Cox woyed f o take" a receis , : but agreed to withdraw it if Mr. Mc- Lane would consent to withdraw his sugar bill. McLane declined to do so. As it was impossible to do anything while that bill blocked the way , the motion for a recess was insisted upon , and was finally 'carried , and the speaker declared a recess till 10 o'c'ock to-morrow.

EOT 3ERFOBFS BACKBONE. The President Says the Dep uty Marshal Bill is Poor Legislation , * * T" And Sends it Back to the Senate - . ' ' ' ate With a Solid Veto. Spodil Dispatch to The Bee. WASHINGTON , June 16,9p. m. The president at a late htur this afternoon cent to the senate a special message vetoing the deputy marahal bill. The message is very elaborate. .The president says : "After mature consideration of the bill entitled 'an act regulating the pay and appoint ment of deputy marshals , ' I am con strained to withhold from it my ap proval and to return it to the senate in which it originated , with my objec tions to its passage. " -s The president then quotes in full the" sections of t e laws already on the statute books relating to the appoint ment and duties of deputy marshals , also the decision of the supreme court in theca'oof Siebertand others , de cided at the October term of 1879 , on the question as to the constitutionality ci of the election laws , known as the "enforcementact , " and says ; "I have deemed it fitting and proper to quote thus largely from an elab rate opinion of the supreme court because the bill before me proceeds upon a construe- = tion of the constitution , as to the' power of the national government , which is in direct conflict with the judgment of the highest judicial trib unal of our country. Thp bill before ne changes completely the present ) aw by substituting for special deputy nanhala of tha existing statutes new ifficera heretofore unknown to law , md who lack the power , responsibility ind protection which are essential o enable them to act efficiently as ex- icutive officers. In all respects this till makes a radical change between Jnited ] St-tas officers at national elec- ions and the powers uniformly pos- * essed and executed by slate officers la t s' te elections. This discrimlna- ion against the authority of the spHi Jnitod States is a departure from the Hi sages of govornmect nd established ly y precedents beginning with the lyTi arlicst statutes on the subject , and dice iolates ihe true principles of the onstitulion. In conclusion , it is roper to state that 110 objection ; enid bo made to the appointment of M dicers , to act with reference to clec- .r-ns , by courts , of the United States , cePi nd that I am in favor of appointing Pi dicers to supervise and protect elec- ed ons without regard to party. But th ie bill before me , white it recognizes ie power and duty of the United tatcs to appoint officers to guard and iriitinizo congressional elections , it ills to adapt its provisions to execute jj 10 law so as to secure efficient super- ision and protection. It ia therefore turned to the senate , in which it toqu i rigirtated , for their further consider- qu iton , which is contemplated by the re mstitution. [ Signed ] RuTUKKFOK B. HAYES.

Bttwcen 3 fciid 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon cries of "Help ! helpl" wcro hoard from a tecond-atory win dow of Edwards' block , corner of Sixteenth and Burt scree's. Mr. J. EBer.eu ; , who kseps a grocery store on Ilia first floor , together with a man who happened to be standing on the walk below , hurried to the Ecene from whence came the cries. They went iut i the apartments occupied by Mi. George Huffman and family , where they found Mrs. Hoffman in most violent lent convulsions , and her daughter nearly wild with fright. Mr. Ber- ( eu took in the situation at once , and eent the daughter to summon Mr. Morgan , father of Mrs. Hoffman , I who dies business one block north on I , Sixtjenth street , and for a physician. ' Mr. Mcrgan brought with him Dr. . La filer , who knew at once that Mrs. . Hoffman had attsmptcd suicide , and , ogother with Dr. Arnold , attempted o administer an emetic. The attempt , waa unsuccessful , however , as Mrs. Ucffinan ieaisted with set teeth , say- ngsho wonted to die , and if they , . avod her this lime she would poison again. To anxious question ! , ,3 to what she had tauen , she answered di hit she "took it in a powder with an to range , " and refused to state what it toTl ' Tl ras or why she took it. th Iho gained consciousness after the rst convulson , and then seemed to Sp )30 again all knowledge of her sur- Dundings. The daughter was sent to . immon Mr. Hoffman , who ia em- loyed by the Union Pacific at the th Mnsfer" over the river. She tele- to i toWJ lioned for him , but could not reach WJ lal im by this means , and it was thought di est to await his ariival in the even- rei rei.h ig after working-hours.

He wag born I eec in County Waterford , Ireland , forty years ago , and went to tea when he was a boy. He secured a commission in the navy at the outbreak of the war and served under * Admirals JFar- ragut and Porter at NewOr leans , where he received very dangerous woundi. After three months in the hospital he joined his vessel and was In all of the engage ments on the Mississippi. During the siege of Charleston ha served under Admirals Dahlgren and Koiraii , and at the attack on Fort Sumter in 18G3. At the clcae of the war , having re ceived two promotions while in the service , he received the thanks of the navy department. His vessel upon the Fenian expedition , in addition lo the arms mentioned , contained aix. batteries of artillery and 20,000,000 rounds of ammunition , and equip ments and officers sufficient for a brigade. The vessel cruised around the Irish coast and made three land ings. A few colonels and captains who served through the war in this country landed and were on Iho way to consult with some of the leaders near the sea coast , about an uprising , when they were captured and con- demed to penal servitude. The Irish leaders finally de'ermined to post- poatpono the insurrection , nnd as the arms could not bo safely landed and secured , so hotly was the vessel pur sued by a part of the British fl et , the vessel was ordered back to th's coun try. Upon her arrival her CT U of arms was carted away hy the FuiTians. Mr. Kavanagh'a funs-r 1 w -tteuded by a large throng , the Clan Na Gael having charge of the can niJun s.
