bear and forbear with her. Applause. Therefore, it i our duty to know all the facta. Kvery fact that can bear any relation to this matter is part of onr necessary information in the conclusion that we must reach upon a matter so important aa this. And I confess it nerer occurred to rne that my distinguished friend, the chairman of the committee on foreign atiairs. ot any member of tbo Hoaso would hesitate to submit this request to the President of the United States. lly reference, by postponement, or by delay of any sort, we weaken the attitude that we ought to bear to this question. Let us say to the President at ence: "(iirens the information; send to us that which has been communicated to yon: let us have it before our opinions crystallize Into convictions, before we become biaeed by the reading of this correspondence in which are unkind and bitter things: before our tempers are aroused by the offensive utterances which may have been mado bofore any conclusion is reached; give us all the facts, so that we mar keep our minds unbiased until we have all that is possible of truth and light to base our conclusions npon." If the gentleman from licorgia IMr. Mount thinks the resolution ought not to come up for immediate consideration I will not oppose him. though I will most seriously think it is a mistake. IlLOt'NT TLKAD8 FOR DELIBEnATION. -Mr. Speaker." saidMr. Blount of Georgia, chairman of the committee on foreign a a airs, replying, to Mr. Breckinridge, "whether or not thislloase horeafter, in its wisdom and in view of the gravity of the situation in the matter of our relations with Chili, sees tit to consider them in secret session, at least, it seems to me that at this time, before that course shall have been considered at all. there ought not to be thrust upon this House and the country, by any mode of procedure, a discussion of that situation. Applause on the Kepublican side. 1 remember, and it is familiar to yon all. the course pursued in the war of 1812. A message was sent to the Congress of the United Mates, the Senate and House went into secret session, the committees on foreign atiairs resolved npon secrecy of procedure, and the report of the commit tee on foreign atiairs was made to the House, accompanied by a declaration of war and other measures subsequently in relation to the regulations of privateering; yet nothing was given to the public. The injunction of secreny was never removed until the executive's signature had been affixed to the bill declaring war. Is there anything in that procedure a procedure directed by the emineut men of those times to admonish us that, either by indirection or direction, wo shall deviate from that deliberate, calm course in which the eaiety of tho country rests! ir. there is a great responsibility upon this House at this time. 1 trust that this resolution will be referred to tho committee on foreign atiairs, and every matter touching this question will be so referred. Because we have au illustration this very Instant how unexpectedly to everybody the situation has been brought to tho consideration of the House and the country. I presume. and 1 trust that no Gentleman upon the lioor of this House will undertake to discuss the matter pro or con. So far as any information is concerned in relation to dispatches received to day, yesterday or to-morrow, for ono, speaking; of the committee on foreign atiairs. 1 assure the gentleman from Kentucky and thin House that that committee will not be willing to Jiafce any report to this body without exhausting all the information to be had irom the correspondence. lApplause on the Kepublicun side. And 1 beg this House to remember that tho line of safety is the line of deliberation. You cannot treat this matter better next week, after deliberation, than you can in tho passion provoked by instantaneous discussion. I beg that we shall be earnest, calm, manful In all this matter." DOIT.T CAST ON A FKE83 DISPATCH. Mr. Herbert eras recognized for a few xniautejin opposition to the adoption of Mr. Breckinridge's resolution. "We are m the midst of a very grave crisis," said he, "No one can say. with absolute certainty, that the situation is less grave to-day than it was on yesterday. No one can say, with absolute certainty, that tho cablegram Mvhich appeared this morning as an Associ

ated l'reus dispatch from Santiago is tru. '4 here are circumstances connected with that dispatch, or at least there are features on the lace of it. which, in my opinion. Tender it very doubtful whether the disf latch is tree. Suppose that the dispatch s untrue, and that we pass now the resolution of the gentleman from Kentucky, what will be its meaning? 1 do not say that tho gentleman himself intends to cast any such imputation, but in my opinion tho country will look at a resolution like that as imputiug to the chief executive, m a matte of each great concern as his message on yesterday, bad faith to the country and bad faith to this House. Are xto ready now to do that? An attempt to press this resolution to an immediate consideration alio carries with it some imputation upon tho committee cn foreign Atiairs. to which this whole matter ha r beeu properly referred. Is not that committee competent to consider this whole question! 1 think we can trust that committee, and 1 think, too. if thcro be anything in this resolution, that it will keep for few days. At a time when the issues of peace or war are trembling in the balance let ns be deliberate. Let us not now engage in a discussion of which there will be on the part of certain gentlemen an attack upon the President and npon the part of others a defense of the chief executive. Is this the time for the House to engage in a discussion on that line! Has the gentleman from Kentucky or anybody else uny reasons to give why a discussion of this kind, if proper at any time, ought to be precipitated now. 1 trust the House will not do it. but will let it go to the committee on foreign atiairs, which must, under the rules, make a report within lift eon days." TOO GRAVE FOR HASTY ACTION. Mr. Speaker." said Mr. McCrcaiy of Kentucky, a member of the foreign atiairs committee, "this House is confronted now with a gravo and important question. The questions were of suthcient importance for the President to send to this House yesterday a message accompanied with documents and diplomatic correspondence. This morning the committee on. foreign atiairs had a meeting. Therefore. 1 have . right to assume that all proper dispatch has been made. I respect my friend from Kentucky, who has ottered this resolution, but I see co reason now for unreasonable haste in the management of a question so important an this. Jf this resolution is referred to the coramltteo on foreign atiairs. 1 have reason to believe that it will receive immediate and prompt consideration. We have not, in the list tew weeks, been acting in this House according to what we spe in newspapers, but we have waited irntil the executive sent to this Houae a statement of the situation in Chili, accompanied by correspondence. Is there any reason why this House should undertake, when there is a committee on foreign a Hairs appointed to look into these matters, to take charge of this matter aud call for the additional correspondence? If there is other correspondence it will come in due time. Hut it seems to me that the situation demands that gravity, that calmness, that deliberation in the cas which will show that we are not now acting aa partisans, but acting as patriots. (Applause.l The resolution should be referred to the committee on foreign a Hairs. An early report will bn made. No one can be injured by the delay; the country cannot be injured, and this i tuple question will not be injured by a reasonable delay in order tbat a committee of this House shall consider it." Applause.! "It has been the usage of this House through diilerent administrations." said Mr. llittof Illinois, also a member of the foreign atiairs committee, to confide questions that concern onr relations with other countries to a committee on foreign atiairs, where every shade of opiniou in the House is represented, and to have that committee, which has always been substantially nonpartisan and truly patriotic, as 1 bave observed it since I was a member of this House, in Much relations with the executive that if the information of the kind desired by the gentleman from Kentucky in his retwlutiou was to be obtained, it was accessible to your committee. And that committee represents most truly the sentiments, and the disposition, and tho wishes of this House, and you can trust it." Applause.) Mr. Blount moved the previous question on his motion to refer the resolution to the committee on foreign atiairs. bat finally yielded five minutes to Mr. Breckinridge, the author of tho resolution. Mr. Breckinridge said he was surprised that a resolution which sough for nothing but informa

tion should have met the opposition it hadi The resolution did not touch the merits of any controversy between Chili and the United States. It did not criticise anybody, executive otneer or minister, or any one connected with this transaction. It simply asked for light. Mr. Barrows of Michigan inquired whether the gentleman thought tbat the President, when he received the dispatch, would decline to communicate it to Congress. "I think," replied Mr. Breckinridge, "that when the President of the United States receives this communication from the Housohe will not decline. Applause on the Democratic side. That is precisely the object of this resolution." Continuing. Mr. Breckinridge said, that the gentlemen who had spoken had no sense of the gravity of the crisis now upon tho country deeper than be had himself. It was because he feared that war might be forced when it was not necessary for the honor of tho American Kepublio that he had ottered the resolution. Mr. Blount of Georgia said that there wr.s no way for Iho House to guard against itself except by referring tho resolution to the committee on foreign affairs. The power lay in Congress not in the Presidentto say whether or not war should be declared. The executive could not compel this body todo anything but what it willed, and. therefore, he trusted that tho House would proceed with deliberation and courage from the beginning to the end of this matter. On motion of 31 r. Blount the resolution was then referred to the committee on foreign atiairs, without objection. WANT MORE INFORMATION.

The Chilian Trouble ffot Considered Yesterday by the Committees on Foreign Affairs. Washington, Jan. 20. The Senate committee on foreign rotations held a short session this morning, but the meeting was merely of an informal character, and was devoted to a brief exchange of opinion among the Senators regarding the President's message and accompanying correspondence on the Chilian atFair. The committee adjourned, shortly before the Senate met, until to-morrow morning at 11 o'clock in order to allow the members to thoroughly familiarize themselves with tho message and to examine the correspondence, and particularly that portion of it relating to the testimony taken on tho killing of the Baltimore sailors. It was deemed 'best by the committee cot to consider the matter at any length or to take any decisive action one way or the other until it is settled beyond peradventuro tbat the Chilian government baa given its answer to the President's ultimatum. While the Senators of tho committee seen to-day were apparently disposed to accept the dispatch from Santiago, published this morn-' ing. as entirely authentic, they were not willing to discuss the Chilian subject extensively until an authoritative statement had been received by the President to the effect that Chili had complied with the demands of tho United State. A member of the committee, while declining to state the probable action tbat was to be taken by tho committee, said that if. a report was made by the committee it would probably be bubmitted with very littlo delay. At the request of members of the IIouso foreign atiairs committee a special meeting was called to-day for the purpose of considering the President's message on tho Chilian controversy and the accompanying correspondence. Printed copies of the correspondence were received and the members of the committee spent some time in the consideration of it. There was an informal discussion of a very general character, but no conclusion was reached, partly because of the latest phase given the esse by the dispatch from Santiago announcing a substantial compliance by Chili with the request of the President, and partly because of the necessity of a careful examination of the correspondence. SENTIMENTS OF LEGISLATORS. Chili's Proposal to Arbitrate Discussed by t Senators ana Representatives. Washington, Jan. 26. The latest phase of the Chilian situation, aa described in last night's dispatch from Santiago, was almost the sole topic of discussion among members of Congress to-day. There was a general feeling of relief on all hands at what was looked npon as the beginning of the peacefnl ending of the controversy. Considerable Inquiry was made as to whether or not the dispatch waa reliable and in all details correct. Some members were afraid that later dispatches might modify the statements made in the Santiago dispatch, and in the absence of official information many Senators and Representatives who were seen were chary of expressing their views on the matter. The Senators generally were disinclined to express any opinion until after the official commauioation made by Chili to the State Department is made public "I wonld prefer," said Senator Dawes, "to wait until we get fuller information before giving any expression of opinion. We want to know how broad tho concessions of Chili are, and how far she has conceded to the demands of our ultimatum.'7 "1 have not had time to give the Chilian news my attention this morning," said Senater Turpie, "and. of course, have no opinion yet that would be of value." Senator Cockrell was manifestly gratified that his constant predictions had been verified. "1 have always maintained," said he, "that it was simply foolishness to talk about war with Chili. Of course, their proposition for arbitration will have to be accepted. If we cannot settle our dispute between ourselves the manifestly proper thing to do is to arbitrate it. It would be ridiculous for a nation of 65,000,000 people to make war on a little nation of S,OOO,CO0 in a question of this kind, particularly when the smaller nation now proposes arbitration," SenatorTeller thought that the position ot Chili was still somewhat indefinite. "I do not see." he said, "that there is anything to arbitrate so far. It does not appear that Chili has yet said that she will make compensation, but merely suggests the reference of the whole Baltimore dispute to arbitration. However. I have no doubt tbat they wilt say that they will pay whatever compensation is awarded. It is not a matter of vital importance to us how much the compensation is. It is the principle involved that we are contesting for. If they express their regret for the occurrence and withdraw the otfensive note and make any kind of proposition for compensation. 1 have no doubt this government will accept it. however small it may be. It is not a question of money, but of preserving our dignity in the matter." SOMEWHAT INDEFINITE. "It appears to be somewhat indefinite," said Senator- Dubois of Idaho, "just what Chili proposes to refer to arbitration or to our Supreme Court. If it is the question of how much indemnity they are to pay, that is a perfectly proper matter for adjustment in that way. If it means to refer the whole question of whether we are entitled to au apology and compensation theu I do not nee that it is a matter which the Supreme Court could decide any better than the two houses of Congress. The war-making power that is. tho two houses of Congress aud the President should be fullv able npon the evidence produced to decide whether apology and indemnity are necessary to the preservation of the true dignity of this country. Havingdccidedthat these should be exacted from Chili, I do not see that there would be anything to arbitrate except the question of the amount of indemnity. That I think we should be quite willing to refer to arbitration or to the Supremo Court." benator Chilton said: "I have believed from the begining that under the facts a war with Chili was not necessary to maintain the national dignity or protect American interests, and conld not be justified upon any enlightened international code of honor. It seems to mo tbat every vestige of excuse for such a calamity is removed by the Chilian reply to the ultimatum of this coutry." Senator Sawyer said: "If the Associated Press dispatches from Santiago published this morning are entirely correct, then I see no reason why the trouble should not bo practically settled and at au end very soon. We only made three demands m the President's ultimatum, aud these seem to have been fully complied with. I do not see what more we could ask. or what more Chill could do than she has done. If she has acceded to our demands the affair will be amicably settled, and I see no reason why it should not be so." Senator Jones, of Arkansas, said: "There is no reasonable probability of twar.

Among those three million Chilians are many who appreciate the greatoess of this country, and how futile it would be for her to engage us in war. and for this reason it is not at all likely that she would wish to fight us. There is no doubt the matter will honorably be adjusted, and if Chili has complied with the ultimatum, as published this morning, that will probably end the affair.'1 SHOULD SALUTE THE FLAG. Senator Faulkner thought that if Chili had apologized for issuing the Matta letter, all other matters for indemnity and reparation could be properly referred to arbitration. He thought tbat if the letter had been withdrawn and Chili acknowledged her error in having sent it to foreign ministers and others that of. itself would be a sufficient apology. He was satisfied the United States would do everything consistent with dignity and honor in settling the matter and without having to resort to war. After apologizing. Chili should salute the Hag of the United States, which she had insulted. Senator Colquitt thoughtrit exceedingly unfortunate that the President should have sent his message and the correspondence to Congress before Chili has mado answer to the demands contained in the ultimatum. Ho thought this was especially so, considering the short time given to tho Chilians to answer. There was no doubt but tbat the ah" air would be peacefully settled and without war. It Is said that Senator Hawley, in discussing tho situation with a naval officer this morning, remarked tbat he regarded the proposition as an evident effort on the part of Chili to meet the United States half war; to be fair. Kepresentative E. B. Taylor, of Ohio, chairman of the judiciary committee in the last Congress, said: "I am content with anything consistent with the honor of this country. I do not want to thump Chili she is too small, but yet I want to thump anybody that spits in my face. How could the Supreme Court get jurisdiction of the controversy! Only by consent and an act of Congress giving it the power to act. If Chili agrees, of course Congress will agree." Mr. Catehings, of Mississippi It seems to me as if we were not going to have any row. It looks as if they were not going to force the issue. It seems entirely satisfactory. Mr. Burrows, of Michigan I am very glad to see some returning sense on the nart of the Chilian people. It is their only safe and wise course. Kepresentatives Montgomery of Kentucky, Peel of Arkansas, McMillin of Tennessee, MoCreary of Kentucky and many others expressed themselves as satisfied with the Chilian reply. Mr. Hitt, of Illinois, said tbat the dispatch indicated such a remarkable change on the part of the Chilians that he could hardly credit it. It was all that we could ask, but that Chili had ottered to refer the case to our own tribunal, after all the delay and acrimony which was evident in the correspondence, astonished him. ADRIFT OX THE OCEAN. Tow-Boat, with Foot Garbage-Scows and 125 Italians, Lost in a Gale. New York, Jan. 6. The tow-boat Webster and two scows belonging to the department of street cleaning, are drifting out to sea. The steamboat is beyond the control of her skipper and crew. Shehas not been seen since 9:20 o'clock this morning, when she was sighted by tho Rockaway life-saving station. At that time she was signaling for assistance. This much was known late this afternoon, but since then the look-outs on the Long Island coast report that while the Webster was struggling in the teeth of a fifty-mi le-an-hour gale her hawser broke and became tangled about her propeller. Thus she was at the mercy of a terntio sea. and bobbing helplessly she began drifting oat. The greater terror, however, was about the garbags scows which had been towed out into the ocean, as is the custom, to be dumped of their refuse. On these scows, it is stated, there were at least sixty Italian dumpers. These helpless creatures were seen by the outlooks to bo moving about frantically, crazed no doubt with fright at their terrible situation. The tug-boat II. S. Nichols, with two other scows which had been discharged of garbage, anchored her tow, and then started - to the . assistance of the Webster. The captain of the Niobols concluded, however, that with his own anchored scows in extreme dan ger and the chances of reaching the Webster against him, he would do better to come np to the city at once to report and secure help. So the Nichols tnrned her nose cityward and steamed home in the breast of the gale. Sho bad done better had she clung to her own scows on which, as on the already drifting scows with the Webster, there were about sixty human souls, most all Italians. Scarcely was the Nichols out of sight when her tow of scows were beaten from their anchorage, and they, too, were blown rapidly out to sea by the almost hurricane. When the Nichols arrived she and another steamboat, the Dosoris, were sent out to search for the Webster, ns at that time she was apt to be more in need of assistance than the Italians on the scow in Gravesend bay. It is not known how many Italian laborers are on the scows towed by the Webster, bnt it is thought that there must be at least as many as are on the scows in Gravesend bay, namely, sixty besides the captain and crew of the Webster. These, with the men on the Webster - and thoso on the scows, will aggregate 125 men at least at tho mercy of tho gale. It is thought these men are now fairly on tho open sea. About half an hourafter the Nichols and Dosoris bad started, the new steamboat Municipal reported for orders, aud was at once dispatched in search of the Gravesend bay scows. Movement of Steamers.

AWFUL PICTDBE OF DEATH

Fourteen Thousand Russian Kefngees Meet a Pitiful Fato in Siberia. Bodies of PUjjne-Stricken Peasants Carted , Axvay an'l Damped IntoTrcnches Austria Wants to Name the Pore's Successor. DYING MY THOUSANDS. Army of Wandering Peasants Victims of Fever and Famine In Siberia. London, Jan. 26 Advices received here from St. Petersburg show that thousands of peasants from tho famine-stricken districts have 6tarteu for Siberia in the hope that they will be able to effect some betterment in their condition in that part of the empire. On Saturday last it was announced that fourteen thousand of theso emigrants, who .had the city, of Tobolsk as their objective point, had arrived at Tinmen, a town of Siberia. 12J miles southwest of Tobolsk. These people had no money, sickness was decimating their numbers, and altogether their condition was about as miserable and hopeless as could well be imagined. Tinmen has a population of 15,000 inhabitants, and the more kind-hearted among them did all they could to alleviate the distress among the poor emigrants who, with the forlorn hope of at least getting enough to eat to keep life in their miserable bodies, had tramped many weary miles over the almost trackless, snow-covered country until they had reached thai point. Of coarse these men, women and children, for many of them had brought their families with them, could not pay for conveyance. They were too sick or exhausted to walk the 130 miles to Tobolsk and being thus unable to go forward or to return, they were compelled to subsist entirely upon charity. Their numbers were constantly added to by fresh arrivals. Daily, hourly, there was a constant stream of these unfortunates pouring into the town and every newcomer made the situation worse for those already in the town. The condition of atiairs at Tinmen Is now too lamentable for language to describe. No one can tell what the hnal outcome will bo. In tho town aud its vicinity there are now fourteon thousand persons who are absolutely destitute and helpless, and whom it is impossible for the residents of the place to help. The scenes of misery and woe, of abjeot and hopeless poverty and actual starvation, are pictures to horrify the souL Of shelter it may bo said that they have practically none, their only protection from the elements being sheds constructed' of light boards which, thonsh hey may in a measure protect them from snow, do not in any way save them from the etlect of the bitter cold Siberian winter. " There is not a spark of tire in these sheds, and the only warmth the sufferers have ia that furnished by their own bodies as they huddle in groups. In this dense mass of humanity the typhus fever and scarlet fever are making sad ravages. Weakened by their long and painful journey, by their enforced abstinence from nourishing food, and by their utter helplessness, tho refugees fall ready victims to . the scourge of disease that has broken out among them. It is impossible to render medical aid to the sufferers. However willing they might be. the few doctors in Tiumen are completely powerless to battle against the diseases that are carrying off the peasants in enormous numbers. To be attacked by eitberoneof the fevers is almost certain death. No care can be taken of the sick, no precautions to prevent the epidemio from spreading, and the people of Tinmen are fearful lest they, too, fall victims to the plague which is threatenod. So numerous have the deaths become that there is no pretense of holding a funeral over the bodies. Neither are the last sacraments of the church administered to the dying. So intensely cold is tbo w-atber that in a very short time after ?Vth the bodies of the starved ones1 are frozen stifle The cadavers are then thrown into carts and taken to the cemetery, where they aro unceremoniously burled in a common pit. Amid all this deep and bitter misery the action of the priests of the Greek church stands out in vivid contrast to the humanity which it is thought should be shown by those in their calling. Tinmen, which is the oldest town in Siberia, has many churches and many priests, and here, if anywhere, it would be expected that compassion would be shown for the sick and dying. But the priests tiatly refuse to officiate at the side of the dying, or to perform any funeral rites unless they are paid by the wretchedly poor people, a great majority of whom have not a kopeck to call their own. The priests give as an excuse for their heartiessnest that they are too busy to attend to tho poor emigrants. AUSTRIA. G ROWING ANXIOUS. Significant Interview with the Pope Prompt el by the Emperor of Austria, Rome, Jan. 2C It is learned from Vatican sources that a few days ago Cardinal Serafino Vannutelli had a long and grave interview with the Fope on the subject of a reconciliation between the Holy See and Italy. The interview was prompted by the Emperor of Austria, who is personally interested in the matter. The recent speech of Count Kalnoky was the starting-pointof .diplomatic action to secure this desired reconciliation. Austria, it is understood, asks of the Pope the participation of Catholics in the Italian parliamentary elections and a modification of the present favorable attitude of the Holy See towards France. In return for this Austria wanta Italy to change her inimical attitude toward the Vatican to one of more friendly character and to put an end to the religious persecution of the Catholics. Anstria has a triple end in view: ' To save the triple alliance from discredit in the Catholic world; to prevent the Vatican goinc over to the side of France, and to arrest the radical movement in Italy, which might in time threaten the position of the monarchy. The Italian court and government have signified their approval of a rapprochement on the lines laid down. King Humbert and the Italian Ministers, however, insist that the Catholics should first open the way to a satisfactory arrangement by participation at the polls. The interview with the Fope lasted an hour and a half. The Fope promised to consider the arrangement proposed. Doubtless he will wait with a view to discovering the reason of theso overtnres of the Austrian court. It is already known that Austria, supported by Germany, will endeavor to bring about th6 election of Cardinal Vannutelli as Leo XIIl's successor to the pontiliral throne, while Mer. Galumberti would be his Secretary of State. It is believed in Vatican circles that the Pope, while accepting a promise and concessions, will not yield to the demands of Austria and Italy, but will continue to maintain his attitude of reserve, awaiting more favorable times. Tfce Holy See is much pleased with the reports received from America and Archbishop Ireland's attitude in regard to the educational question in tho United States. DIDOS OF MADAMS MELD A And Her Royal Lover, the. Orleans Prince, to lie Aired In Court. Epeclal to the Indlanarola Journal. Vienna, Jan. 26. The Vienna tribunal has decided npon the application of Capt. Armstrong, husband of the celebrated singer, Madatue Melba. to permit Captain Armstrong's legal representatives to take affidavits of the domestlo servants employed in the Hotel Sacher, in Vienna, as to the relations of the Duke of Orleans and Madame Melba while lodging there and the scenes which came at tho time under the observation of the servants. This descision of the tribunal was strongly opposed on behalf of the Duke, and it is said that even court influence -was invoked to aid the' Duke in screening his indiscretions. It is also reported that Lmoeror Francis Joseph sternly set his face against any interference 'to protect the Orleans prince, and gave it to be understood that any etiort emanating from the imperial entourage to assist the Duke in baffling

the claims of justice would incur the severe displeasure of the crown. The Hotel Sacher was the place in which Melba and her royal lover showed more than the usual recklessness in their relations, and more than one servant has positive evidence as to what those relations were. The action of tho court in granting the request relating to evidence at this hotel is regarded by Armstrong's friends as a great, if not a decisive, triumph in his suit against the Duke for damages, and it is said that the Count of Par.a is seriously considering whether it is not better to pay Armstrong's claim for damages than to face a flood of scandal that a trial would open to tho public. GENERAL FOREION NEWS.

Serious and Embarrassing Crisis Threatened in the German Cabinet. Ereclal to the Indianapolis Journal. Berlin, Jan. 26. A Cabinet crisis is impending in Prussia owing to the opposition to the school bill. Besides the oiler of resignation by Dr. Miquel. Minister of Finance, the acceptance of which the Kaiser has postponed, the Freismnige Zeituugsays Dr. Bcetticher, Secretary of the Interior, Herr Herrfurtb, Minister of the Interior, and Baron De Herlepsoh, Minister of Commerce and Industry, threaten to resign if the bill pass. As all theso officials are otherwise satisfactory to the Kaiser, their departure from theCabinet would leave him. as well as Chancellor Cnpxivi in a difficult position. The Kaiser is said to be much embarrassed and somewhat hurt by tho attitude of his Ministers, and to have remarked, in reference to Mi quel's course, that he (the Kaiser) hoped the National Liberals would not vote against the school measure. Disposition of Money Do nated to Irishmen. Dublin, Jan. 23. Mr. John Dillon has written a protest against the attempts by the Farnelhtes to preventsubscriptions being made to the fund for the benefit of evicted tenants. Mr. Dillon's letter was published to-day, and in it appears the past year's balance-sheet of the fund. This shows tbat there was expended 45,220, the proceeds of Mr. Dillon's American tour and Irish subscriptions. Mr. Dillon saya tbat since August last the McCartbyitea have furnished 11,50 to the fund, that sum being all the money received. There are. Mr. Dillon says. 7,5X persons who receive grants, requiring the sum of 13,003 monthly. O win r to the lack of funds, some of the grants have not been paid. He concludes his letter with an appeal to the Parnellites to start a separate fund, and to enter into friendly rivalry with tho McCarthyites in relieving the tenants who have been evicted from their holdings. A Terrible Charge. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London, Jan. 2S. Mr. Plimsoll the celebrated champion of the rights of tailors, testifying beforo the royal labor commission to-day gave statistics going to show that the loss of life on board British vessels was proportionately four times as great as it is on board the vessels of other nations.

The committee did not and could not yield as to the General Assembly's interpretation of the agreement of 1870. On the other hand the seminary directors did not yield their position with regard to the transfer of Dr. liriggs.

II I Mi TALKS AT A FEAST. Gloats Over His Lvil Doings in New York AmiJ The Clink of Viac-G!Bsa. Nnw YORK. Jan. 2u,lVo thousand Democrats grasped the hand of New York's junior Senator tonifrht. and amid tho popping of champagne corks and the merry clink of crystal David Bennett Hill listened smilingly to many complimentary thincs saidof him and to him. The occasion was a reception tendered him by the Manhattan Club. For over an hour Senator Hill stood in the drawinR-room. smiling, bowinjr and sayins "thanks." Then, with the president of the club, he led the way to the timing-hall. A hundred incandescent light smiled brightly down upon Hashing crystal, while in a few minutes two score of liveried men were passing palatable delicacies which soon fell within the breastworks of tho Tammany braves and other yalonous Democrats. And while the less distinguished Democrats stood about the dining-hall, the Senator and party were seated belore a table that bore heavy-weight salmon with American tiags in their mouths, and sheep roasted whole, aud birds cooked with their feathers on. The ex-Governor was palpably happy. He ate with the relish of a commoner blessed with good digestion. There were only two speeches and they were distinctly informal. It was 10:30 when Commissioner Cram arose from his seat and proposed that a toast to Senator Hill be drunk in silence. It was drunk. When Senator Hill arose it was fully two minutes before he could speak, so continuous was the applause. When he did epeak he mado a graceful but brief address. He thanked the Manhattan Club for the reception tendered him and expressed deep appreciation of the honor. He referred to the Democratic victories in New York the pact tivo years, and in speaking of his share in them he said: "I simply did what 1 felt to be my duty to my State and to my party." Continuing, ho said: "We have stormed and carried the citadel of Republicanism in this State, and this year wo will storm and carry the Republicanism of the country. Especially have we Democrats of New York occasion to rejoice. We have carried the Legislature, we will soon have a now congressional apportionment, to be followed by a new State apportionment, and I hope soon to sit in the Senate with a Democratic colleague." President Couderr, of the Manhattan Club, thun spoke, lie complimented Senator Hill; complimented the Manhattan Clnb in havine him as its guest, and complimented the Deinocratio party. In closing he said: "Wo admire him for what he has done for his party, and we admire him because he has been so maligned. We owo him mnch, we know it and we shall remember it," GARZA IS SURROUNDED. Troops Advancing on Dis Rendezvous and Will Take II im Dead or Alive To-Daj. fpeclal to tbe Indianapolis Journal. San Antonio, Ter.. Jan. 26. Tha State rangers, under the personal command of W. II. Mabroy, Adjutant-general of tho State, expect to have Qarza surrounded before tomorrow night. The wily revolutionary leader will be called cpon to surrender, and if he makes a resistance he will bo taken dead or alive. The rendezvous "of Garza is at a ranch about thirty miles south of Alice, Tex., and the raneers are withinQ ten miles of the place toiiight. It is confidently expected that startling developments will take place within the next thirty-six hours. The military authorities are confident of capturing or annihilating Garza to-morrow. In concert with the State troops they will make a move at daylight, and they believe they have Garza surrounded, and think he will tight when they close in. If so. it will be a light to a finish. It is reported that Garza has been legally advised not to surrender to the United States, as he would be delivered to Mexico under the treaty, and that would be certain death. MURDERED BY.

What the Yankee-Hating EnelUh Tress Say About Oar Demands on Chill. London, Jan. 2a The Be James Gazette to-day publishes an article on the relations between Chili and tho United States which is headed "An Irish Boss as a Diplomats." It says, among other things: "There is no creditable reason why the United States should fix the quarrel upon her little neighbor Chili. The concessions that Chili has made on the main question deprives the United States of all justification for bullying. There is no doubt that the United States can, it she please, imitate Russia's dealings with Bulgaria; there is no Dreibund to check her, but if this course is followed we shall know that the big, ignorant democracy can be as insolent and domineering as the vast semi-Asiatic despotism. The whole dispute is an example of the difficulties consequent upon the subservience of politicians to the Irish vote. Had the United States been represented at Santiago by a. gentleman of the stamp of Mr. Phelp, Mr. Lincoln or Mr. Dana the pother would not have happened." The paper denounces Mr. Kgan at great length aud in the most severe terms. The Globe says: "The whole world sees tho a flair more in a humorous than a tragio aspect. President Harrison's ultimatum is covered with spread-eagleism. He makes out as poor a cane for war as any nation ever advanced. It is certain that Chili would hold her own for a lone time in a purely unval war, which would alone be possible, but in the end she would be beaten. Nj doubt tiio perception of tbat fact intloeuces Chili in her quick submission. President Montt was well-advised to eat leek, although he had a strong temptation to defy the United Mates, in the knowledge that enrh conduct would popularize him with the Chilian uiauea and that the United Stfttts could do nothing to exact reparation. Fortunately, there does not appear to be any further danger of strife between the two nations, whose real interests are identical." In conclusion.

Tenn.. Jan. 6. The Memphis Commercial failed to appear this mornins. The cause of the non-appearance is the culmination of dissensions of long standing between the compositors and , business manapetnent, resulting yesterday in a lockout of the union printers. The printers some time ago refused to consider a proposition from th Commercial management lookicg to a reduction of the cost of composition and it was thought the matter bad been dropped. On Monday, however, as the men reaehed the office they found themselves locked out and "rat" printers from St, Louis la their places. The union men succeed later in inducing tbo printers to leave tbo city, and tha result was no paper. About twelve men imported from Kansas City are at work to-night, but in the absence of a pressman it is not likely that the Commercial will appear tomorrow morning. Tbe Commercial ha lost over 100,000 since it began publication, and it is asserted and believed by many tbat this tight on tbe nnion is made as a pretext to cease publication.
