Advices from China, Friday, say that whi’e 4,000 workmen were engaged in constructing a breakwater to stem the floods of the Hoang-Ho river, a sudden rush of water engulfed them, and only a few escaped from drowning. Telegrams received from all parts of the Canadian Northwest report that wheat is down 10 cents a bushel below the prices ruling in the markets on the American side nf the line, The loss is having a serious effect on the Canadian Northwest, and is du a almost entirely to the refusal of the Dominion authorities to allow re-entry certificates for wheat sent over American roads to Canadian and eastern points. The restriction of shipments has had the effect of confining the farmers practically to the home markets.

A highly inflamed feeling exists in France over a slight trouble in Florence, Italy. The police of that city searched the French Consulate for papers con nected with a lawsuit. It was reported that the Mayor of the town had intimated his intention of removing the seals of the consulate. M. Flourens has requested Count De Mouy to inform Signor Cripi that if such an act of violence is oommitted the French Government will hold Italy responsible. M.

Minning's Partial Success.

It transpires that Cardinal Manning has recently written a number of letters to the Pope with a view to dissuading the Holy Father from, interfering with the Irish Catholics in their struggle with the English government for home rule for 1 reland. Concerning these letters, the Chronicle saj B they have undoubtedly had some effect, but their influence with the Vatican has fallen far short of the Cardinal’s expectations. The best result he has been able to obtain, the Chronicle asserts, is the not very postive assurance the Pope will not publicly condemn the course of the National party, but will content himself by giving private and detailed instructions to the Irish bibhopa as to the conduct of themselves, the clcrsry and thefaithful. To what extent tlreße ift'Btruciions will be carried out remains to be seen, i

WASHINGTON.

Senator Chandler’s bill, introduced Monday, to regulate National elections has reference only to elections of members of Congress. It grants to the Circuit and District Courts power by writs of mandamus and prohibition, which may be directed when necefcsary to any officer of a State, to compel an enforcement of the laws with reference to tbe election of Congressmen, and to prevent the issuance of any certificate of election where the election has been conducted illegally, or the apparent result procured by fraud. Whenever the laws of the State require any person to appoint suitable persons to hold Congressional elections, and the persons so appointed can not read nor write, or have at any election, State or National, been guilty of any illegal practices, it is the duty of the court, on the sworn petition of any person setting out these facts to hear the case, and if the allegations are found to be true to issue a prohibition to prevent the appointment of the unsuitable person or persons. It also directs that if after any election sot Representative in Congress, a petition shall be filed in the Circuit Court or District Court alleging a violation of the State election laws, or that the result was procured by fraud or intimidation, it shall be the duty of the court to issue a restraining order to prevent the State authorities from issuing any certificates of election, and the clerk of the House from placing the name of the person claimed to be elected upon the rolls of the House. The case shall then be heard, and if the allegations against the validity of the election are found to bo true, the restraining order shall continue in force until the case is decided by the House of Representatives. Before the investigation of the subject of postal telegraphy is hardly begun, it is safe to say that no bill establishing a government system will become a law in the Fiftieth Congress. There is no enthusiasm for such a bill, and no measure so important or radical will be adopted until there shall be a greater public demand for it. The committee which has the * subject under consideration is, in fact, believed to be rather half-hearted in the matter. Mr. Sawyer, the chairman, is supposed to favor a system of contracting for a telegraph service partly under the control of the government, similar to the present system of carrying the mails by the starroute contractor. Mr. Edmunds and Mr. Cullom, the two Senators who seem to be most in earnest in the advocacy of a postal-telegraph measure, do not have very great confidence that the Senate committee on poetoffices will report a measure which will become a law. A communication was’transmitted to tbe Senate Tuesday from the Commissioner of Internal Revenue showing tbe amount of revenue collected on liquors since the present system of internal revenue taxation went into effect, Sept. 1,1862, do wn to June 3, 1887. During this -perjod there was collected from special taxes on distillers, $25,128 819, brewers, $4 932 383; rectifiers, $7,270,079; capacity tax on distillers under a law leaving a tax of $2 per barrel on distillers having a distillery capacity exceeding a certain fixed amount, $7,882,487. The production of distilled spirits during this time was 1,606,852,194 gallons, and of fermented liquors 969 719,782 barrels. The amount of tax collected on the spirits was $1,099,371,980, and on the Tormented liquors, $249,215,119. Postmaster-general Dickinson Friday promulgated rules and regulations in conformity with the new law just passed by Congress and signed by the President Friday, respecting permissible writing and printing on second, third and fourth-class matter. Under the regulations the restrictions as to writing upon third and fourth-class matter are substantially the same as under the old law, but in general all restrictions as to printing on these two classes of matter are removed, except as to reservation of space necessary for addressing the matter and placing postage stamps on it. In all cases, direction for transit, delivery, forwarding or return are to be deemed part of the address. General Greely, Chief Signal Officer, was before the House Appropriation Committee Saturday to urge that immediate appropriations be made to maintain signal service stations in various places, principally at the West many of which had already been discontinued, and other stations at important points would likewise be forced to discontinuance unless prompt action was taken to provide the means to pay the necessary expenses. <eneral Gree ly stated that the usefulness of the signal service was greatly crippled because the last Congress cut down appropriations to the narrowest limit. He promised the committee that if this matter were given attention the western stations would be pre lei red In re-estab-lishment and maintenance. t The circulars recently sent to the clerks of the Navy Department from the Secretary’s office, asking each one to state what, if any, are his business employments from which he derives a revenue outside of his government work, have brought out some very curious information. It appears that a very large proportion of the clerks are engaged in some sort of pri vate occnp a tion which brings them compensation. skirmish in-fee- opposing lines on the subject of tariff reform took place, Thursday, in the Ways and

Commidee. McKinley moved to take np and consider his bill repealing the tobacco tax. Boms discussion ensued, from which it appeared that the Democratic majority was opposed to considering any specific tax reduction bill at this time, preferring to take up this class of bills in connection with the general tariff reduction bill. By a party vote, 5 to 4, the motion of McKihley was laid aside. Dakota comes to the front this winter with the same quota of admission bills as usual. Already delegations from both ends of the Territory are on the ground trying to work up influence for the passage of some sort of an enabling act this session. As far as any one can judge at the outset it looks as if nothing would be accomplished, and that Dakota wonld go through another Presidential election ai a Territory. Mr. Owen, of Indiana, introduced a bill in the House which permits catalogues of all institutions of learning and annual reports and minutes of all religious and benevolent associations to be transmitted through the mails at newspaper rates, one cent per pound. In regard to the Forty-first Kentucky Volunteers’ claim for back pay, never having been mustered out, it is learned in Washington that the regiment was never mustered in, and therefore, has no legal claim. The committee on appropriations made ready Thursday morning the regular annual pension bill for report to the House. The bill appropriates $80,275,500. Speaker Carlisle is improving. He wib go to Fortress Monroe for a few days. The Senate has ratified a shipping treaty with Guatemala.

A TERRIBLE TALE.

Fearful Kxpsrlencesiu <ha Recent Western Bnaamrd. Judge J. F. Kinney, Agent of the Yankton Sioux Indian Agency in Dako ta, arrived at Kansas City, Saturday, after being nine days on the road. Five days were necessary for the party to travel thirty miles. The thermometer during the five days was at 40’ below zero most of the time. The Judge sayb the loss of life in Dakota has been greatly underestimated, as the Dakota papers have tried to cover it up. He describes the scene which took place on board the cars. The coal was running low. The passengers were crowded into one car. trying to keep warm. Two babies per ished. The men discarded all the outer garments they could spare and gave them to the ladies and children. Finding these not enough, they brought mail sacks from the postal car and wrapped the children up in them. While at one station in Bonhomme county, the Judge Bays, nineteen frozen bodies were brought into the depot in one day. In Bonhomme county the list of dead will reach fully 160. The estima esas made at Yankton of the losa of life throughout the Territory figure up over 1,000. The counties where the loss of life was the largest are: Bon hotnme, 160; Hutchinson, 14; Lincoln, 13; Beadle, 25; Spink, 12; Hand, 10; Ward, 15. The northern and centra) parts of the Territory have not been heard from fully. Mr. Kinney name* I a number of curious incidents relative to the wander ings of those who went out in the storm. Mrs. Browning, of Turner county, went from her house to the stable, a distance of 100 feet and her body was recovered Sunday seven miles from home. Charles

Dollinger a farmer oi Turner county perished when seven feet from his house. An unknown woman of the same county went to care for her chickens and wes found two miles f om her house. Roads from the agency to Yankton are lined with dead cattle, many farmers losing all they had. One man lost over 100. The loss of sta ck cannot estimated. P. Clark and wife, of Yankton county were driving toward Yankton when the bl ztaid struck them. The horses refused to proceed and were turned loose. Mr. Clark took a strap and fastened one end to Mrs. Clark and the other to himself, and, turning ther backs to the wind, wandered at random. They came to a hay stack, into which they burrowed and remained all night In the morning Mr. Clark crawled out and proceeded to a house. He was obliged to crawl on his hands and knees, as his clothes were frozen stiff. He reached the house and procured assistance to go as Mrs Clark. She was dead when found William Reiswag and a man, living near Tripp, were found frozen to death within a few feet of the stable to which they had gone to care for stock. Joshua Taylor and two sons started to water their stock before the storm came np. Th sir bodies have not yet been found. Judge Kinney has received word from the agency, and he say, while a large number of Indians were out hunting and hauling wood, none are missing. Judge Kinney was accompanied all through the scenes of suffering by his wife. Both were slightly frozen about the hands and feet. '

Ah attempt was made to assassinate Louise Michel at Paris, Sunday, while she was making an address at a Socialist meeting. She received a wound in the head and the lobe of one of her ears was torn off, neither of which are of a serious nature. ~ A woman never reaches middle life, she is always young until she gets old enough to of her age.

THE FIFTIETH CONGRESS.

Ou the 18th the Senate passed a bill reducing price of pastporta from $5 to 11. The bill for refunding the direct tax of 1861 was taken up. Vance offered an amendment extending the provision of t< >e bill to tbe cotton tax collected under the law jot 1862 and subsequent Jaws. Thia amendment brought on a general debate. The amendntenVkaa rejected, ayes 18, nays 46--the ayea being Bate, Berry, Butler, *lll, Coke Daniel, George. Harris, Jones tArk.), Pugh, Quay. Ranson, Reagan, Vance, Walthall and Wilson (Ind.)

It remits all moneys due to the Vulted States under such act, and it appropriates the amount necessai y for the Nimbnnement of the sums collected directly from individuals to be hold In trust by the State tor the benefit of the person from whom they were collected or their legal representative.

The House was enlivened on tbe 20th by a war of words between Springer and Kelly,of no particular intereat hi re, however.

In the Senate on the 23d, Mr. Rrye called up the motion to refer to the committee on finance the Preaident’s menage and proceeded to diveute tbe mdtuage, saying that the President had dearly thrown down the gauntlet of free trade. He aigued in opposition to the views of Mr. Cleveknd, and claimed the eurplua is the result of Democratic incapacity. He was in favor of taking the duty off of sugar, but would give a bounty equal to the present duty. Tbe House confirmed the title of Carlisle to his seat; ayes 161, nays 7—but few Republicans voting.

THE HATFIELDS AND M'COYS.

A Canrinuation of tbe Bloody Worlr---Throata of Destroying w A despatch cf the 24th from Catflflfibnrg, Ky., saya: The war of e.xtermi' a tion between the Hatfields and the McCoys is attll going on in the w*'da of West Virginia. The steamer Frank Preeton arrived from Pikeville Monday afternoon and brought intelligence of the encounter between tbe nryming party and the Hatfields of last Saturday. On Thursday last the capturing party, numbering twenty, left Pikeville for Tug river. After crossing the river, when nearing the residence of Captain Hatfie’d, they came across a woman in the road who was standing picket, and who immediately gave the alarm. The capturing party, when turning a point in the road, were fired upon by a squad of eigh t from the Hatfield gang. Bud McCoy wai shot through >he shoulder and dangerously wounded. Two of the posse ware detailed to care for him and take h m home. The capturing party ixnme iatelv returned the fire, and Will Demps-y, of the Hatfield gang, ell to the j round, ehot through ile towels. Atihid jnn tnre the Hatfields biat a hasty i etc at, throwing away their 1 lankets, ove coats, etc. Tie posse went np to where D -mpeey « as, and although he wai in a dy i g < on lit on and begged piteously to be s ved, as he w uld n>t uve ong, d -pite bis cri< afo mercy, the nan that k (led J mVance on the that raid put h s gu i again t Dempsey’s head and almo t ew ii o . Ac this inhun an and sickening ct one of the pursuing party became angry, es. tbe posse and re-iar.-uhome. The Hatfields were orgiuizing lor a rail over on Peter creek, in Kentucky, the tt-ene of their New Year’s night heeds, to murder people, burn property and kill stock. The Peter Creek ‘ Guards, twenty strong, have joined the capturing party, which now numbers forty odd, and are in hot pursuit of the Hatfields. The excitment throughout Pike county,though intense, is increasing daily, as the Hatfields have warned the people that they propose to kill them and burn their property. They have sant word that they propose to burn Pikeville and extricate their six comrades now in jail there. The jail is strongly guar ted day and night, and pickets are sent out in all directions from the town every night. Judge Waggoner, county judge of Pike county, an i J. Lae Ferguson, county attorney, came down ou the Frank Preston from Pikeville, en route to Frankfort, where they go to lay the case before the Governor and ask him for arms to protect themselves and their property.

Poisonous Liquors.

New York Liquor SiaaulMtarer We make champagne which you bny for the genuine article. It coats to manufacture (4 a basket. We sell it for $lO to dealers. We make the stuff and put it into our own bottles; make a facsimile label of the genuine article; Spanish corks and French straw and basket to pack them in. When we want to imitate a genuine imported wine we buy a barrel of it. Our cooper takes tho barrel as a pattern and makes one by it. They are new and bright. We put them through a steaming process, and they come out old and musty and worn, just like the genuine importations. Thirtytwo deadly poisons are used in the man ufacture of wine. Not one gallon in fifty sold here ever saw France. Wo send thousands of gallons of whisky to France every year to have them come back something else. Of all the poisonous liquors in the world Bourbon whisky is the deadliest. Strychnine is only one of the poisons in it. A certain oit is used in its manufacture eight drops of which will kill a cat in eight minutes, and a dog in nine minutes. The moat temperate men in New York are the wholesale dealers. They dare not drink the stuff they selL The Lowell manufacturers of textile goods say that their mills, without exception. are running to their highest capacity, and that they have little or no manufactured goods on hand. They make the strange statement that men are plentier than girls.
