PHESEXr SESSION OF THE SEN1TE. Speculation ai to the Length of Ita Seanlon The Organization of the Senate Com mittet Occupying the Attention of Senator!. Washington, ilarch 8. No trustworthy opinion regarding tbe length cf the session of the Senate can be formed at this time. A considerable number of nominations are expected to-morrow, and thould the new Cabinet ministers be able to determine ths personnel cf their etalli without delay, the work of tbe session n ay ba brought to aa t-nd within a fortnight, but the probability is rtcognizd tbat they may rerjiire a few days t bcome acquainted with tbe uuei bont tbem before raakirjg all the changes tbey may desire. The intention recently euter(aTnei by "members of the Committee cu Foreign Relcti ges of briniricg forward new treaties dcring the ttuicn is now in suspension, owiijg to the with of many Senators to get away as early as pose'.ble. It is thought, moreover, tbat the new administration may, aa it bes the right to do, recall for amendrrent borne or all of tbe more important treaties. Oa the other hand, it is Siid to be in contemplation to bring up tbe Nicaraguan treaty durinc this session, not for the purpeve of pre?:cg it to tne point of ratification, bnt to dieenss In open 6esaicn tba retationsbip cf tbe CJajton llulwer treaty to the reral question.

DlHStppointert Worshipers. Washington, March 8. President Cleveland remained quietly at the White House to day, much to tbe disappointment of the largest congregation that has esjjrabled this winter for public worship, at the New York Avenue, Frtsbyterian Church. The edifice was crowded in every part. Chairs were brought in end placed in the aisles, and every foot of standing room was made available. The immense atsambhge listened to an excellent discourse, but the countenances of many, os they emerged from tbe church, thoned but tro plainly that tbo absence of the Presides had left an aching void, which even an elCiiiint Eermon had not completely tilled. CLNEUVIi IJKlXr. What the Tribune and World Bay About III dominion. New Yokk, March v General Grant passed a restless night, but slept from " to 11a.m. This afternoon Drj. Darker and Douglas, together with Dr. Shrady, held a consultation, and annoanca the patient generally better. New Yoek, March 8 Tbe Tribune of Monday says the bustle and confusion that bave been noticeable characteristics of the neighborhood where General Grant Lves, gave way yesterday to the qaictnss vt Sunday, and the members of his family were disturbed only at rare in tervals by the ringing of the front d?or beil and anxious inquiry as to the General's emdition. Under tbe present slate of nlltir? his body is not nourished sutSchat'y to replace the enormocs waste that i taking place constantly. Though he takes feme nourishment daily in the shapt of concentrated food; yet. on account of tne depreteed state of his digestive organs, it is not properly assimilated, and much of th strength that should be derived from the food is lost. From the World today: "A rumor is current that the General's ailment is a com plication of troubles. It is even hinted that the sinking spells to which he has been subject for mob time, and which leave him in a weak condition, are produetd by trouble with his heart. his sudden abstinence from tobacca is said to have developed this featnre of bis malady, if it was not one of the contributing causes to produce it. It i repcited that at the General's urgent request Rev. Dr. John P. Newman, loriceily with the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, now in California, hai ben wiltten to concerning the former's condition, and has been asked to visit Grant's family as eoon as possible.''

EX(ILAXI) AXI) KUSSU. Tbe Aspect or trira uu the UasHO.Aflia.n Frontier, London, March s. A Sc Loula GlobeDemocrat correspondent eays that despite the protestations of ths Rnsjian Embassy there :s no danger of an open rnptnre between Russia and England, Englishmen of very conservative tendencies maintain that tbe Afghan situation is really complicated and serious M. I) Giers, the Russian Foreign Minister, has been prompt and explicit in his statement of the Russian attitude. The dispatches he sent to the British Foreign Olhce yesterday, while they affirm that instructions have been sent, at England's request, to the Russian Commanders to avoid all action likely to provoke the Afgkans into hostilities, plaid r decline to accede to England's other request that the Ilutüau troops be withdrawn from their present advanced outposts. Tnesa posts are almost vfithiu rillt shot of tba advanced posts maintained by the Afghans Tha latter are notoriously Rrgresshe. They are said to have become actually unpudtni unuer tbe enciaragemeat given them by England's recent advice ta hold their ground. It would bs the easiest tung In the world for Russian intrigue to Eecure snch an offensive ect on tbe part of the Afghans as would justify a "battle of detente." Srch an engagement would initiate open wart'tre ia Afghan, and if that will really serve the perpesa of Russia, a '.ready on the groucd, it is in her power to have U brought about at any moment. Biroa D Staal, the Russian Ainlu?sador to England, in an interview paid: "Mr. Gladitone has for vfars urged the Czsr to ptace. Why Ehould Russia and England quarrel? Rusaia baa unexcelled rictus where she now la. Rauia is perfectly willing that Euglaiid should, if she sa deiires, annex Afghanistan. If eha should do sa, then Russia and K a gl and wculd be neighbors. As neihboia tbey could better, berause jointly, eegse in the Usk of civilizing the vast Asian world." Peace or War tur tlunla to Decide. London, Msrch 8. The Daily News states that there is a constant exchange of dispatches between the English and Russian Governments. "Although there Is a poesi ble hops of a peaceful Eolution," says the ew8, "the condition of affairs is still critical. The Pritish Jrrern merit's demauds that the Russians retire from the Afghan frontiers, whether put in the form of an ultimatum or not, are final. The choice of peace or war lies in the hands of Russian statesmen." SOUPAN AFFAIRS. General Wolneles'a Health. London, March s.Lurd Hartington sayj tbat General Wolseley has telegraphed, in reply to a telegram of inquiry from the War Office, that his eyesrght is unimpaired; that his health is excellent, and tbat he had no intention of goir;g to Cairo, Cyprus, or anywhere else until he has first gone to Khartoum. The croakers in the military clubs prediet that there will be fearful mortality among the British troops in the Soudan during the coming summer, and they point out in support of their prediction that typhoi i fever is already raging at Korti. The medical experts arsert, however, that there is no reason wby the troops should not remain in good tealtn if the stations for their encampment are nisely selected, at suitable points along the Nile, and if the men are given rtenty of recreation and exercise daring the comparatively cool' hoars cf tbe morning and evening. A eoc'ety is now forming in London, under the patronaee of several mrmbmof tbe nobility, for the parposo of supplying the soldier) ith books, newsrarere, apparatus for field sports and rc;i' terial for amateur theatricals.

March S The Prince of Wales, it ia now generally believed, will meet with a cool reception upen the occasion cf his visit to Dublin next month. Many fear tbat he will be even insulted during his progress through the conntry.

The claims of the London people to use Sunday as a day of healthful recreation are at last about to be recognized in this city, where Sunday usually drives the East End people ta gin and the West End swells to the country or the clubs. The refusal of the treasury to supply the funds asked for by the trustees of the British Museum in order that the Natural History Museum might ba opened on Sandays has Stimulated the zeal of the friends of Sunday reform. The Date of Westminster and a committee of the Sanday Saciety have issued an invitation to a national conference at St. Junes' Hall with the authorities and officers of museums, ait galleries and librariei for the purpose of directing the attsutioa of Parliament to the results which have attended the Sunday opening of museums, art galler:c3 and libraries In the United Kingdom. If this conference meets wltb s access, we iray jet lee our gloomy Sunday made to minister to the education of the whole people. A Beleaguered Garrison Relieved.

The enemy raised the a'ege of Tbuyenquan yesterday evening, the French, parriaon having fought eighteen days. After the first breach in the body of the fortress, the garrison sustained ssven assault? ar.d caused imaense loss to the enemy.

Several inflammatory speeches were made, and resolutions were passed not to resume work until the recent reduction is restored. The officials, however, declare this will not be done, and cay the road is not inconvenienced to any great extent. A' prospect of trouble Is imminent. Dallas, Tex., March 8.Pjssenger trains on the Texas Pacific arrived to-day from opposite directions without interruption. Railtcad men admit the strike bas reached a most critical jurcture. A report is current that Governor Ireland has been asked to send trccps to break the df ailcck along the Texas Pacific, but refused to comply, for the same reasons given for not calling the militia into action to suppress fence cutting. Railroad men claim tbe State is responsible for the less arising out of the restraint of their pioieity, as the city of Pittsburg was for the destruction of property during tbe riots. Themas of the people in North Texas sympathize with thestiikcrs and their methods. If a necessity aroEe for immediate action it is doubtful if the militia would respond. An agent of tbe L&bor Union nased through Dallas to-day en route to" Fort Worth, where they propose to make their headquarters for tbe circulation ot a petition appealing to Congress and th Legislatures of the several States for irarr filiate legislation against ume trained capital. Marshall, Tex., March 8 The strikers last night sent a man to Boyce, La., on the Northern Pacific Road to bring engines from there.

Tbe situation of tbe strike bere is a'sumlng grave aspects. Toe solution of the difficulties seems no teaiertban leveral days ago. Ninety per cent, cf tbe proposition of the city will be indirectly injured by the ceneia! stagnation of businees, which must result if the trouble continues much longer.

The strikers refnse to yield a single point. Another freight from tbe weet was seized, and side tracked to-day. The srrikers are quiet and orderly.
