WASHINGTON, Juno 11.—Tho Prohibitionists In the House have supposed tin• Houso judiciary committee would approve almost unanimously tho bill passed by tho Senate for tho purpose of nullifying tho original-package docision of tho Supreme Court of the United States so far as to give each State 011tiro control of the salo of intoxicating liquors within its own borders, but thev received a set-back in committee Tuosday. The discussion developed tho fact that while some members of the committoe do not think the decision of the court is sound, others whoso support had been expected are earnestly opposed to tho proposed legislation on the ground that it destroys to a certain extent tho freedom of commerce between tho States. Judge Stewart, of Vermont, said that if Congress interfered with this freedom in regard to liquors it might also bo called upon by any interest powerful enough to command legislation that cottonseed oil, or dressed beef, or any other article of inter-Stato commerce bs made subject to exclusion from any State that chooses to prohibit its sale. The oxtent to which tho principle might bo carried was further exemplified in tho discussion and the committee adjourned without action. It is uncertain whothor tho committee will make a favorablo report, but it is pretty certain that thoro will be strong opposition in the Houso. nowIN.R.'s

WASHINGTON, June 11.—The Senate yesterday agreed that- after 3 o'clock Friday debate on tho silver bill should be continued under tho five-minute rule. No time lias been fixed for a vote. Tho Houso silver bill was referred to the committee on finance.

Senator Farwoll (ill.) presented petitions from merchants of liloomington, Chicago, Champaign, Galena, Peoria, Shawneotown, Rockford and Sterling, 111., and of Murlington, l)es Moines, Davenport and Sioux City, la., against tho passage of the Mclvinlt-y tariff bill.

Senator Edmunds (Vt.) introduced a bill providing that all funds or other property lately belonging to or in tho possession or claimed by the corporation of the Church of Jesus Christ of tho Latter Day Saints, to which it shall appear thoro Is no lawful private right, shall bo devoted to tho benefit of public common schools in Utah, tho money to be disposed of by the Secretary of tho Interior in such a manner as shall seem to him to be most expedient Tho Supremo Court of Utah is invested with authority to make all necessary and proper orders and decrces for Hi is purpose.

Consideration of tho silver bill was resumed. Senator Plumb's (Kan.) amendment that no funds available for tho payment of tho public debt, including such as are kept for the redemption of United States notes, shall be rotained In the treasury in excess of $110,000,000 was amended, on motion of Senator Harris (Tenn.). by adding to it tho words, "provided that the gold and silver coin and gold bullion in tho treasury on which gold and silver certificates have been issued shall not bo considered available for any purpose except tho reduction of such certificates."

Senator Sherman (O.) expressed his opposition to Senator Plumb's amendment, as the effect of it would be, really, to leave only a working balance of 810,000,000 in tho treasury.

Senator Reagan (Tex.) was of tho opinion that a reserve of 850.000,000 would be all-sulllclent aud ho intended to oiTer an amendment carrying out that idea, lie thought that tho policy of punishing tho people for tho benefit of monometallsts and contractlonlsts had boon carried on long enough.

Senator Teller (Col.) said that the blmetalic principle had had its worst enemy, its most effective foe, tho man who had done it the most harm, in the Treasury Department. It had boon within the power of the Administration to relieve the people, so that what tho people suiTered was at tho door of tho Administration. Hut there was no fooling favorable to bimetallism In high places, and would not bo while Wall street could infiuenco political parties. Each party had been met by the declaration that Congress must legislate so as to gain tho good will ot tho business interest of tho country. That meant Wall street In conclusion Senator Toiler declared that no matter where the Republican party or liimsolf should bo left, his voto should lie given for that measure which would unloose the burden put upon tho debtors of tho country and to do It without detriment to the creditors.

WASHINGTON, June 1',.—Mr. Morse (Muss.) introduced in the Houso a bill prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors upon all grounds on which are located exhibition and exposition buildings for which appropriations are mado by the Government.

raised by private subscription", and that no increase of that amount can bo hoped for from private sources that S5,000,0('0 more is neeiTSd, and that the city of Chicago has no funds from which to approprinto tho necessary amount: tkat tho limit of taxation has been reached, and that no money can be raised in that way without coastitutlonal amendment that the people of Chicago are willing to tax themselves to raise the sum if authorized, and a special session of the Legislature Is necessary for tbat purpose. Tho delegation further Informed Ills Excellency that the use of ono of the public parks as a site is contemplated, and that legislation is needed to authorize it.

The Governor said he would take the matter under advisement and announce his decision to-day.

It is deemed almost certain that a special session will bo called t,o meet about July 21. It, Is safe to say that no other questions will be included in the call for tho consideration of tho Legislature. Governor Fifer has beon formally requested to include tho compulsory education law, as well as other subjects. but. will decline.

Mr. liryan learned that there was considerable opposition to the extra session throughout tho country counties, from a mistaken idea that tho farmers were to be taxed for the fair, instead of being asked, through their representatives, to grant permission to Chicago to tax herself still further to insure tho success of an exposition that will be held In Chicago for the whole State and the whoie Nation. As there is no possibility of a State tax being levied for the purposes of the fair, and as the extra session of tho Legislature will have .no such demand made upon It, this opposit'-r-.i-ivil1 probably be as ephemeral as It Is erroneous.

LITTI.K RUCK, Ark.. June 11.—A daring train robbery was committed on tho Cotton Melt railroad between Camden and iexarkana early Tuesday morning. 1 he passenger train, with an express car attached, was going north, when the engine ran into a pile or logs which bad been placed on tho track. The train was derailed, the engine went over an embankment, killing tho engineer. The accident created a panic among the passengers in the rear cars and a scene of terrible excitement ensued. Just at the moment of tho catastrophe three or four maskud meu caitio out of tho bushes where they had beon hiding and entered the express car. Nesbitt,. the messenger, realizing some thing of the truth," stood with revolver In hand. aud. us the robbers came up. fired at them. The fire was returned, Nesbitt being shot, and, it Is feared, fatally wounded. The robbers plundered the car. carrying away all the money. They escaped, taking to the woods, and it is thought will bo captured, as a large posse is on their trail, tho country being thoroughly aroused. The olllcers of tho Southern Express Company hero can glvo no idea of the amount of funds stolen, but say it can not be heavy. The sum Is variously estimated at from £5,000 to S10.000. No attempt was made to rub tho passengers, the robbers evidently believing the express car olfered greater booty. A large reward will bo olfered by the express company for the capture of the robbers. One party has been arrested and is now in custody, but lias not been fully identified.

Monday afternoon S10,000 was taken from the Southern Express Company's ollice at Toxarltana and carried to the depot. This was sent North. It is supposed tho robbers were on the lookout, but made a mistake, thinking the money was to go South.

A great deal of excitement prevails on account of tho robbery. Within the last few years several robberies have been perpetrated within a radius of 100 miles of Texarkana. The people aro exasperated, and if tho guilty .parties are caught Judgo Lynch will save court expenses.

About fifteen months ago a similar rubbery occurred on the same line near Texarkana. Two of tho outlaws. Steve and Rube Murrows. were captured and confined In the Arkansas penitentiary pending their trial. Rube escaped and Stevo died while in prison. It is expected tbat the men who robbed the train Tuesday morning are a part of the same gang. (IIAGGI:I

DICKINSON, N. D., Juno 11.—Intonse excitement prevailed hero. Tuesday evening when the hews spread that Shcrifr Haves or this county had captured one of the participants in the robbery of the Northern Pacific train at New Salem last Sunday. The sheriff and two other men arrived with the prisoner '1 ues.lay evening and lodged him in jail. In crossing Grand river about eighty miles south of here tho lubber's horse was injured, compelling him to stop in biH flight, and when tho olllcers first discovered him bo made a desperate effort to escape, but after a race of several miles, and seeing that escape was Impossible, he surrendered. lie supposed his time had como to die and gave some valuable information showing that the robbery of the train had been deliberately planned. lie gave his name as Charles 10. Hailey. There were five men in the band, two ot whom came from tho West on the train which they assisted in robbing. The other three were in readiness at the scene of the robbery with horses, and after the job was completed the throe latter started south and separated when a few mllos out, one going toward the Missouri river, one west, and the prisoner was making for the Mlack Hills. The two who came from the West remained on the train, and from what tho prisoner says there is no doubt that it was their intention to rob the passengers, but for some reason thin was abandoned. The prisoner offered the sheriff SI,000 to release him. Sheriff Hayes left again to attempt tho capture of the bandit tbat started east. The prisoner claimod he was under obligation to assist tlio others, but he is a dosperate-loolcing man and evidently a desperado. When captured ho was supplied with a fifty-pound sack of Hour and some bacon, and could havo subsisted for two weeks on what provisions he had. Tho country south of hero is almost barren of settlemont and the sheriff is deserving of much credit for his success.

A definite step in regard to these matters is to bo taken and the association. which has a membership of :i5.0li0, will decide whether or not to Indorse a proposed sixteenth amendment to tho constitution of the United States.

At a conference of various American organizations with a combined constituency of 500.000 memlters held last weok at Philadelphia, in which the association was represented, steps were takon to form a National council through which tho entire membership of the societies represented muy mass their strength for tho defensovof the distinctive American principles upon which they all agree. Regarding the public schools tho following decision was made: "As nn important stop In the defense of the common-school system of education aud in the perpetuation of fite separation of church and Slate, we join with other oilizcns in seeking to Incorporate In the constitution of the Culled Ktatos a sixteenth amctulmeut, emliodytnK the following prohibitions: 'No State shall puss any law respecttnjr the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exeteise thereof, or use lis properly or credit, or any money raised by luxation, or authorize either to he nsod for the purpose of founding, mnfntulnhitf or uldlnir by appropriation, puyuifnt for services, expenses or otherwise, any etinreh, religions lienomlniiiloa or religious society, nr any institution, soelety or undertaking which Is wholly or in part under sectarian or ecclesiastical control.'

The members seem confident thnt (his stop will be unanimously indorsed at tbis convention.

Channalion is a town of about 1,000 persons, nine miles south of Joliet, with no railroad or telegraph facilities.

Frotu tho meager Information at hand It seems that most of the damage done by the storm was in the country around Cliannalion. and that tho majority of the casualties occurred outside tho town. Although the place' Is not far from here there is llttlo hope of getting any thing doflnito from there owing to tho bad condition of tbo roads. While it is believed that tho roports so far received aro exaggerated the belief is prevalent that a great disaster lias occurred.
