TIIK KICICKItS rACIFIUI).

WASHI.\,TO.\-, April ]2.—The Senate quadri-contennial committee mot this morning and. ordered the world's fair bill reported with some amendments,one of which is the Daniel proposition in a somewhat emasculated form. The committee, at the suggestion of Senator Gray, modi tied the provision with respect to tho President being satisflod of the bona fide character of Chicago's subscriptions, by making it read that he shall bo satisfied of tho "responsible character" of tho subscriptions beforo inviting foreign nations to participate, Tho Daniel amendment was modified so as to provido that some time in tho spring—date not particularized—before the time for opening the exposition, there shall bo an international naval display in Now York Harbor and Hampton roads, and a civic celebration in Washington at the time of tho dedication of a statue proposed to Columbus. There is no appropriation made in the bill for.these celobrations, this being loft for Congress to provido for some time in the future. Tlio Chicago men agreed to those amendments in the hope that it would facilitate the bill's passage, but had them so modified so as not' to interfere or delay the opening at Chicago. A sub-committee, consisting of Senators Hawley, Iliseock and Daniel, was appointed to make the bill conform to the express wishes of tho committee and to draw up a report. At the suggestion of Senator Fanvell, Senator Hawley was selected as tho manager of the bill on the floor.

In the Senate yesterday Senator Hawley from the select committee on tho quadri-centcnnial celebration, reported back with amendments the House bill for the world's fair at Chicago and said that if any thing were to bo done in the matter it should be done at once, lie thought it would not lead to any serious debate and hoped to have it taken up and passed on Monday.

A HKMAIIKA1U.K FEAT.

NEW YOHK, April 12.—Thousands of persons kopt their oyeson the big chimney of tho Clark thread works, at Kearney, yostorday morning, watching for the appearance of John Phillips, the bold slater, who was about to finish bis task of making tho wreck creatod by lightning approachable by inspectors. At 7:19 o'clock Phillips placed the last ladder, an Iron one, in position, and cllmbod over tho great bell and collar to the top of the chimney. On reaching tho top he waved ono hand and a wild cheer aroso from tho assembled watchors. A fow moro hours' work by the nervy climber mado it possible for workmen to reach the top. The chimney was found to be considerably damaged. Phillips, by his ingenuity and daring, has saved tho Clark Throad Company great expense and done much toward relieving tho villagers from distross. Tho extensivo mills of this company aro closed and tho 1,500 operatives aro idle.

-•PI.ICING THK I.ADDI-H9.

During tlio severe thunder-storm on the morning of March 28 lightning struck the immense chimney of the thread works twice. Tho outer course of brick was torn off in several places and the chimney probably injured in other ways, so that it was thought unsafe to continue the operation of the mills till an examination could be made.

Tho height of the stack is 335 feot, greater than that of any other in tho United States, llow to examine and repair the damage wrought was a problem solved" by Phillips, who offered to climb the chimney and hang a painter's scaffolding from the top. He proposed to use laddors which ho would lash firmly to each oilier and fix to the side of the chimney bv means of spikos driven into the cement, between the bricks. 11 is proposition was accepted, and a week ago last Wednesday ho began to ascend Uiechiuiney.

With ladders and ropes and spikes Phillips set to work, and in a few hours he demonstrated, the practicability of his plan. A lire truck ladder thirtyfive feet in length was used as a foundation, its spikes at tho bottom being sunk in a heavy plank, and its upper end fastened to the chimney with hooked spikes, which were firmly driven into the cement. Tho second ladder, which is twenty-fivo feet long, was lashed to the first, undorlapping it five feet. A cross cleat of wood was fastened at tho base, to make the union more secure, and a strong plank

was placed on two protruding spikes to keep tho ladder a proper distance from tho face of tho chimney. This process was repeated with all the ladders. Each ladder was hauled up by a tacklo block and ropo, operated by two assistants upon tho ground. After the lower end was secured Phillips daringly climbed it half way and drove the spikes with which it was to be made firm.

Such work would bo impossible to any but a man of tho stoutest nerve and strongest muscle, and hundreds of spectators gathered about the great chimney and gazed upon tho task, and wondered at his coolnoss and fortitude.

Tho chimney is round, of symmetrical form, and is a beautiful piece of architecture. At the top thoro is a great flaro or boll that has an outward slope of live feot, and to ovorcotno this apparently insurmountable obstaole seemed to tho spectators of tho work the most difllcult part of tho undertaking. Phillips was equal to it, however, lie carried his ladders up in a straight course as far as they would

This was secured in tho top of tho chimney by moans ot spikes, and it was made steady by a lacing from the top of the uppermost short ladder, so that ho could climb it to drive the spila s. To the onlooker it seemed an i!:.possibility to so fasten a ladder tt. the angle required as to onable the climber to crawl outward and get over the edge of the bell at tho top, but it has been accomplished, and the daring climber has earned a siiug fee as his reward.

WORSE AND WORSE.

Treasurer Archor'rt (ircuter Th:n al Fii-nt Hrportcri. BALTIMOUI:. TMd., April 12.—Tho committee investigating the atVairs of exTreasurer Archer on Friday brought to light evidence of crookedness on tho part of Archer and carelessness on tho part of Governor Jackson of the grossest character. Tho reports of Archer Hied in tho Comptrollers ofllce show that ho. has accounted for upward of S05.000 wortli of bonds alleged to have been purchased from John A. llambleton & Co., the ranklin Mechanics' National and Central Savings banks for the sinking fund. OOicials from theso banks pronounced under oath hoforn the connniUee that, the statement was false, alleging that they had never sold him a dollar's worih*of bonds. Thisadds a eiear case of larceny to tho crimes of eiabezalemen'o and malfeasanee in office with which Archer is already charged.

Under the constitution of the Stato tho bond of the Treasurer, as soon as approved by tl»e Governor, must be tiled with the clerk of the court of appeals. It has leaked out that Archer's bond for bis second term was not tiled until last November, just twenty-two months after his election to otllce, which is owing to gross carelessness on the part of Governor Jackson.
