Old AYound8 Ileopencd The ATennes for YouBg and Ambitions Soldiers Closed Up. Who Will Ba Itc8ponsiblo for an Extra Seesion? Cleveland's Tariff Views. SIIEUMAX-DAVIS CORRESPONDENCE Southern Senators Pleased With the Stand They Made Against Taking Oriiclal Notice of the Correspondence. Special to the f entinel. WaseisGToir, Jau. 13 Southern Demo crats seem to be well plccedcwith the stand they made in the Senate aeainst tiking offi cial notice of the correspondence between General William T. Sherman aad Jeflerson Dav if. The debate was very animated and showed eciec feeling, bat the leading Southern Senator?, speaking of tbe matter lo-dty, said they thought tbe circumstance warranted all they said and did. The object of the Republicans in getting the correspondence before it was, of coarse, to have it printed and to circulate it as a document bearing official imprint; and this it was that made the Southerners so anry. They siy the matter has no possible place about Congress, any more than any other correspondence between two private citizens. It is said the correspondence was transmitted to the Secretary of War by General Sherman, so that it would become quesl official and be in position to be called for by Congress. The discussion ha3 aroused some bad blcod. It has been in the direction of reopening a wound that was almost healed, and the Southern Senators who participated in the controversy on the floor of the Senate say the Republicans will regret that they brought it about. The personal character of JefTerscn Davis is yet sacred to many distinguished men at the Capital and they Co not like to hear it assaulted. A Poor Outlook for West Point Cadet?. Special to the Sentinel. WAsni5GT03, Jan." 13 The cadets at the West Point Military Academy are beco ning frightened at tbe future that lies before them. There is no place to put them after they graduate. Th Lieutenaacies are filled, and they fsar they must resign as soon as they leave the ccadcrny. There is no provision cf law Icr placing them anywhere from whence they may bo called when vacancies do occur, and they have petitioned Congress to legislate ranks for them. Under the present etinted support o! the army and navy the places as cadets in the WestFointtnd Annapoiismllitaryand naval academies are not very enviable. They amount to little m:re than an education at the expense ot the Government, and the discipline is so severe that most young man prefer maintaining themselves at private schools by night work. The Talk About an Kxtr s? anion The Kejponslbilltj. Special to tbe Sentinel. Wasiiixcto.v, Jan. 13 A good desl of talk is being indulged in noad;e about an extra session f Congress. Senator Haßley is quoted as remarking to-dty that it was not unlikely that there would bo an extra session. Democrats say if there is another sesäion of Congreis between the 4th of Mtrch and December it will be not of their breeding; that they propose to get tue appropriation through the House in ample time, aad if th Senate refuses to act tha majority th1?: must assume the responsibility. Tae Republicans in the Senate say tbe Hoa threatens them with responsibility of au eitra session if they do not concur ia objectionable appropriations, and that ia the discharge of a public diy they can nat b ) frighUned. An to TreMdent Cleveland' Tariff Opinion. Sprc'al to the Sentinel. Washington, Jan. 13. It has beea intimated that 1'resident Cleveland maycaua such inquiries to bo made in regard to thr. tarrifT and internal revenue matters this coming summer, &a will enable him to msko some recommendations to Co:gresi upon the subjects when he sends hi3 message to Congress next December. His parly teems to prefer that mode of procedure to anything like ft tariff commission. Ta8 responsibility. It is true, will rest with the executive, but he is willing, say his frieod?, to assume that. Mr. Cleveland believes the tariff should be revise J, and that there are defects in the sjetem of internal revenue which med immediate attention. SWAIM COUKT MARTIAL. Tbe War Department Shows Its Animosity Too Plainly. WASDI5GT0N, Jan. 13. In the Swaim court martial to-day an attempt was made to discredit General SwaTm'a statement that he was wcunded at Chicamauga. General Grcsvenor critic'asd tbe attempt of the prosecuticn to contradict General Stfaim's statements in this matter, and said ot it: "It istbw smallest piece of business God Almighty fvr allowed anybody to go into." lie said: 'General öaraini

was asked whether he wai wounded at Chicamacga. He answered he was, and thereupon the War Department went through a transformation scene, and the report of the Tarious commanders were brought in here to contradict him. The reports of Generals were brought in here. KorrethiDg I cauld not get if my life were at stake. The War Department usually considers these records eacred, bnt for the purpose cf tarnishing the recorJ of a soldier they are forthcoming.'' He said also. "I do net object to this witness' testimony becaa e cf any fear that after the midnight interview which he had in the War Dap-i't-ment, he may testify to anything that will harm my client." Judge Sbellabarger said this attempt cn the part of the prosecution tarnished a spectacle that tbe records of the court should not show to the country, a spectacle of tbe prosecution trying to rob an officer of hia military record, which, he said, should excite in the mind o! any honest man feelings cf unutterable and Inexpressible indignation. The testimony sought to be given was not a lowed, and the other proceedings were uninteresting. NATIONAL NOTES.

As the law now stands, an export tax is virtually laid on all this class ot exports, amounting to 10 per cent of the duties originally paid. The exporters have been ably represented before the committee, and Hewitt has from the first made strenuous efforts to have these interests relieved from this tax, in order to encourage American manufacturers and the export of American commodities.

Mr. Legate replied, after several minnte?, as fcliois: ' The Cl&rkson letter I never wrote tha j, I iif ver wrote a letter to Ciarkson of tha date. I wrote Mr. Clarkson a letter, pirt o which is in the letter published this mem h:g. hut he orniU it state what I said, au. masts me say what I never sta'ej," Mr. Locate her urew excised aad declare that Clakson bad suppressed the names c evi it other man to that transaction but hi. ' lie makes me U'k," continued Legate "cf pled;3 made to St. John, whei thej T! ere pledges made to other parties. E;e.j pace of that letter to Clarkson was marked confidential, and be has violated every principle cf honor in publishing any thia j, and every principle c: Lonety in distorting the letter I did send him. I was acting a3 the sgent, and cooing the wish of Mr. Clarkson a3 a member of tha National Committee, and those with whom he was associated in Ohio in all that was done. With reference to the Kerns note, it is so completely changed from what I did say that it amounts to an open forgery. Within a short time I intend to make a full statement of the whole matter as far as I knjw it; then let those kick hardest woo are hurt Kiost. But I say now that, so far as St, John is concerned, in all these transactions the Virgin Mary is not pcrer than he." Tae reporter asked Mr. L to make a statement relative to what portions of Clarkson'a letter were as written, but.he declined and would say nothing mote. A Mntlny of Mexican Soldiers.

The strikers compelled all the laborers to quit work yesterday, and early this morning they assembled around the gates cf the factory, armei with clubs, and refused to permit any one to resume work. In the course of the excitement shots were fired at the mob by the gate Keeper, a Constable and another man. A regular riot insaed, and men were beaten with fists and clubs, the Rates broken don and a scene of indescribable excitement and confusion prevailtd.

To the Associated Frew. South Bend, Ind., Jan. 13. Yesterday the employes of the Oliver Chilled Plow Works struck for higher wages, and compelled all tbe men to quit at an eaily hour. Tats morning 00 congregated in front of the gate, and would not allow any one to enter. Thcte who tried to entet were beaten about the head and body. Officer Kelly, while trying to quiet tbe mob. was shot through the scalp and badly pounded. Captiin Ed Mcar attempted to go into the office. They attached him with club?. He was badly hurt about tbe head. He entered and loefctd the dcor and held a prisoner in tbe cilice, his only communication being by telephone to the city vst9rans and the guards of the G. A. R. mustered out about seventy men to rescue. Captain Nicar ia a member cf the Guards. Sneriff Hockstrap empowered tbem to act as Slats malitia to preserve tbe pence and to disperse the strikers. On hearing this some of the strikers left. The following is a list of the wounded: Captain Ed. Nicar, Dave Hoffman, Mr. Cord, Officer Kelly and Jacob Earnhardt, the foreman in tbe paint shop. An immense crowd was thronging the streets and followed the Veteran Guards to the factory, and great excitement prevails. The cause of the trouble is this: Previous to the annual meeting of the branch managers, the Olivers found that, owing to the depression in trade, their goods were' accumulating. At th-'s meeting it was decided they mujt restrict the production. They first tried running on half time at the old rale wages. This was done for about fourteen days, but proved unsatisfactory to th men: the Olevers then proposed a redustion of 133 per cent on the average throughout tbe entire factory, and to run full tima The Pole 8 wou'd tot acree to thi. aad went out, and were out about three wesks. They then agreed to accept the reduction, and went to werk December 8. except the ringleaders in the previ-us strike, whom the Olivers refused to tak?. These ringleaders incited this riot, and had the men who v ere at wcik to make such an unreasonable demand that they knew the Olivers could not accept it. This demand was not only the restoration of old wages (previous to tbe 12,' rer ceut cut), but considerable advance before this cut The men were earning an average cf from 1.50 to $2 a day. The strike was made without knowing whether the Olivers would or would not accede to their demands, the strikers refusing to send a committee to thsm to consider their grievancts. outii Bend, Ind.. Jan. 13. At midnight all is quiet among tbe strikers. There are fifteen of them in jail, and the jail is guarded by a detachment of troops, as the rioters threaten to rescue them. Tbe Sheriff, for additional protection, has telegraphed for the lkhait Veteran Guards, and they arrived here at 9 o'clock and are quartered at tbe Court house, excent one detachment, which is on duty with the home trooos at the Oliver Werks. The Poles claim that tbe victory is theirs, to-day, tfcat they are satisfied with the situaticn, and in the mornirg propose making another demonstration. If tbey do, bloody work will follow, for it is determined that no more property 6hall be destroyed, or woikingmen who are willing to work injured. The Poles acknowledge the sole cause of the trouble is, they want more wages. DEATH OF SCHUYLER COLFAX. The Kx-Tlce President and Speaker Diet Very tjuddenly. Maskato, Minn., Jan. 13. Ex-Yca President Schuyler Colfax dropped dead at 10:35 this morniog, at the Omaha depot Hs arrived on the Milwaukee Road, from the East, at 10 o'clock, and walked to the Omaha depot, a distance of three-fourths of ft mile, with the thermc meter 30 dflgrtes bslow zero. Alter arriving at the depot he lived only ab . ut five minutes. It is supposed that the extreme cold and the subsequent over exertion caused a stoppage of the flow of blood to the heart. His remains were taken in charge by the Odd Fellows, and now lie at Dr. Harrington's residence. A Coroner's inqnest will De held. Every attention is being paid to his remains. Word ha been

sent to the family of the decea?ed. The President has been notified and his ordere are now awaited. The Coroner summoned ft jury consisting cf R. D. Hubbard, John F. Mtachtr, S. F. Barney, W. L.

A r recession was formed at 10 o'clock to escort tbe remains to the Northwestern Depot The process?on was made us of a military company, Odd Fellows, Board of Trade, Common Council and a citizens' mounted escort The body was placed in a special car, and in charge of L. P. Hunt and L. Patterson, sent to bouth Bend via Chicago. The Newa at Colfax's Home. South Ped, Ind., Jan. 13. The news of the death of Mr. Colfax created the greatest consternaticn in this city, where he passed his life from his boyhood, and where he was so highly honored and respected. He left here yesterday morning at 7 o'clock. A note to the editor of the Tribune from him said he was compelled to leave that morning to fill engagements in Northern Iowa which were made months ao. He concluded his note as follows: 'I feel regretful that I have to be away from the funeral of my life-long friend, Mr. Burrows. There has been th? warmest friendship between us for forty years." It would seem Mr. Colfax had a premonition of his death. On Saturday, in the Tribune editorial room, he said: ' I have appointed George W. Matthews my executor." When asked if he expected to pare away soon he replitd: "I am liable to drop dead at any moment" His remains will reach here Thursday morning at 2 o'clock. A delegation of citizens will go from here to Chicago to receive them. Mrs. Coltax is completely prostrated at the terrible news. Telegrams of condolence are pouring in npon her from every part of the country. EAILROAlsTRIKERS.

They rut a Stop to "Doable-TIeaderfc" on the Pittsburg and Fort Wavne ltoad. Fokt Wayke, Jan. 13 The Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad Company a few days since inaugurated what is known as the double-header system of sending oat their freight trains; that is attaching two locomotives to double the usual number of cars on each train and sending the train out ut der tbe charge of one conductor and three brake mn. This dispensed with the . services of one conductor and one brakeman to each double header. About fifty brakemen were discharged and several conductors were reduced to tbe ranks ot brakemen. About 2 p. m. today ft large number cf men collected at the depot and boarded freight train No. 73 west-bound, double headed, pulled the ccupling pins and refmed to allow the men in charge ol the train to replace them. The train was coupled up, ho Ttver, and allowed to go to the junction of tbe Grand Rapids and Indiana and the Pittsburg iloid, a mile from the city, where the pins were ajain pulled and thrown into the river and the train W8S left standing cn the main track, where it now stands. The second sec tion of tram No. 73 was treated in a like manner, and etands just behind tbe first section. The fires were raked from the angines attached to both trains by the strikers, and they refused to allow the men, under the eupervision of the company's officials, to do anything towards getting tbe trains in motion. All switches at the east yard?, from whence all freight trains of tbe Pittsburg Road and Grand Rapids and Indiana start, have been spiked down solidly, and the strikers put to guard them. Train No. 72, eastbound from Chicago, was stopped by the strikers at Pierceton, twenty-five miles west of here this evening, and tho pins pulled. The train was side tracked, where it now stands. Superintendent Law is expected here to-night from Chicago. The strikers will submit their grievance to him to mcrrow at 9 a. m when it is supposed some action will be taken. The strikers appear uuiet but very determined. Serious trouble ia feared unlets an understanding is arrived at To Satisfy Ills Curiosity. Denver, Jan. 13. At Leadville this evening a well-known man named George Waiter attempted to cut his throat with s razor, bat was prevented by friends. He wrote a lengthy declaration saying tne act was not induced by disappointment in love, or remorse for having committed any crime, but he desired to explore other worlds. Pennt ylt anls Coke Pool.
