• France proposes to exile all anarchists from its dominions. Germans are said to be spying Russia's military operations from balloons, and rumors of war fill the air. The London World says that Henry M. Stanley will go to the Congo this year in the interest of the Congo Free State and remain in Africa for a long period. > The home of M. Boulet, the public prosecutor, at 29 Rue Clichy, Paris, was wrecked with dynamite by anarchists Sunday. Houses were rocked as if by an earthquake for an eighth of a mile distant. All the windows in the neighborhood were shattered. The explosion is duo to a desire to rid the anarchists of the prosecutor. He had been warned several times that they proposed todynilmite himM. Boulet was not among the seven who j, were injured, however. The police are convinced that the anarchists have begun a war of extermination upon all persons of prominence who have antagonized them, so as to frighten magistrates out of convicting their comrades apprehended in crime.

POACHERS.

The Behring Sea Correspondence Laid Before the Senate. ? ' ■ * ( —— Lord Salisbury'* Reply Unsatisfactory—The President Says He Will Protect the Seals if it Requires the Military of the V. 8. to Do So.

President’s message transmitting Lord Salisbury’s reply to the last note from this Government relative to the modus vivendi was laid before the Senate in executive session at 1 o’clock on the 23d. Lord Salisbury’s reply, as already stated is a virtual reiteration of his declination to renew the modus vivendi on the same terms as existed last year. After half an hour’s discussion, the correspondence was referred to the committee on foreign relations, and the doors were reopened. The correspondence was not made public, The President id his letter, announced that he had made a rejoinder to Lord Salisbury’s reply. - L - ?- Lord Salisbury’s note may be described as a the detailed reply to th e State Department note, which is to follow by mail. His refusal to consent to a renewal of the modus vivendi is accompanied with several counter propositions, the reading of which was received withillsuppressed Irritation by the Senate. The general character of the note is described as evasive and equivocating.

The President’s rejoinder was also transthe Senate. The President broadly, but in diplomatic language, hints that Lord Salisbury has not met his overtures in a straightforward, business-like manner. The President insists upon a renewal of the modus vivendi, without reference to insignificant or irrelevent conditions, and closes his note with the stirring assertion that if the government of Great Britain declines to assist in the protection of the seals during the arbitration of the claims of the tJnited States he will proceed to enforce the laws and eicTude the poachers from Behring sea, if the military force of the United States is required to accomplish The.’note created a sensation in the Senate

The gravity of the case has led to a re" newal of the strongest efforts of Senators to prevent the public from being made acquainted with the facts until the correspondence has progessed further. There was no expression of opinion by thqPresident in his letter of transmittal; but this was not needed, in view of the clearly-de-fined position assumed by him in his rejoinder to Lord Salisbury, which appeared to meet with the unanimous approval of the Senators, although the debate itself was too short to disclose officially the standing of the Senate. Although there has been nothing in the nature of a direct vote upon the treaty of arbitration, and there is a well-defined opposition to it as a surrender by the United States .of her rights acquired by treaty from Russia, It can be stated that the treaty Will soon be ratified by the Senate. But a resolution will accompany lt,2reciting that there does not appear to be gny sufficient reason for the abatement by the United States of its claims to jurisdic' lion pending arbitration, authorizing the President to use all force of the military bf the. government tosecurethe protection cf therights of the United States. Lord Salisbury does not in his note refuse to enter into a modus vlvendi of some kind; he doesnot flatly refuse to be a party to some arrangement; but diplomatically speaking he “fails to consent” to the propositionmade by this Government. Inasmuch as the Senate has refused to make the correspondence public it is exceedingly difficult to get a clear statement of theexact Idea intended to be conveyed in thq diplomatic language of such correspondence as that laid before the Senate, but undoubtedly the impression generally conveyed by the reading was that Lord Salisbury has refused to renew the arrangement of last year. It can be stated that there is nothing in the nature of an ultimatum on the part of either Government in the correspondence laid before the Senate. The correspondence is still considered incomplete and the way is still open for further letter writing in the line of endeavor on the part of each'; side to show how far the other party is hi the wrong. Underlying the formal phrase ology of diplomacy, however, is an evident intention on the part, of this Government to bring the matter to the point of definite determination before the sealing season is far advanced. And the President’s reply, it is thought, will greatly tend to the attainment of the desired Result.

OIL WILL BURN.

Seven Vessels Destroyed by a Lighted MatchEnormous Loss at Barcelona, Spain, Through the Carelegsneß of 'a Workman—A Sea of Fire. o During the transfer of an American cargo of petroleum to a lighter Sunday at Barcelona, Spain, one of the lightermen accidentally dropped a match on a barrel of oil. Almost instantly the lighter was ablaze from stem to stern, and the men aboard barely had time to escape with their lives before the vessel alongside was in flames. The hatches were open and the flames were soon issuing froth every opening of the vessel. The timbers of the hull broke away, and soon blazing petroleum converted the still waters of the harbor into a sea of fire. Vessels hastened from every direction to leave the harhorl and many escaped, but six 1 were encircled by the flames and destroyed. The corvette Thyra was the first to catch fire, followed by the steamers Cassila Abono. Waller and Pisoon. Then the man-of-war Lepanto, which was lying at anchor, was enveloped with the launch Caiman* AU seven vessels were sunk. The spectacle from' the shore was one of terrible grandeur. The blazing vessels resembled columns of flames under a canopy of dense drown smoko. The loos ia enorious. No personal injury ia reported.

Adam Neidigshot his wife to death and soon afterwards fired a ball into his own brain at Washington, Ind., Saturday. The tragedy took place in the miserable little home of the Neidlg family in “Cabel row” about 4 o’clock, the only witness being the 14-year-old daughter. Neidig was a German miner and for some time had been drinking heavily. Shortly before the murder he vi sited his home and accused his wife, Barbara, of infidelity. The woman resented the insult and a quarrel ensued. The man, crazed by the liquor, rushed to his wife, who was a frail woman, and seizing her by the neck with one arm he placed a revolver at her head and fired a ball directly into her right temple* With a single groan the woman fell to the floor, where, in her blood and brains, she was witnessed by hundreds o< the excited citizens soon after. When Neldig saw his wife fall to the floor ho watched her for a few seconds, and then took to his heels. He ran to a barn that stood two blocks away, and climbed into the hay • mow. After half-covering his body with hay he placed the weapon to his forehead and emptied another chamber of his weapon. Persons attracted to the scene

of the tragedy had given pursuit. They found him in the hay-mow struggling in death. He was removed to an undertaking house, where hundreds stood by and saw him die in agony two hours after his crime The tragedy has shocked this city as never before. Neidig tried to murder his wife on other occasions, but failed in his attempts through the interference of his children. For some time his presence at home has been one of constant dread, and a few weeks ago his boys made up SIOO and gave their father the money on his promise to leave home and remain away. The hard-earned money he spent at saloons, however, and only served to poisonJhis brain and nerve him for the shocking tragedy. The contest of the will of the late Joseph E. McDonald has reached an Interesting stage. It has been ordered by the courts that Mrs. McDonald be examined prior to the trial, and this examination was commenced Thursday. In referring to this matter the Indianapolis News says: “First, after the fact became public that Senator McDonald had left his entire esstate to his wife, followed rumors, soon verified, that the will was to be contested on the ground that the instrument probated was not the will which Senator McDonald had made. Additional interest was aroused by recalling the romanc e which surrounded and connected the lives

of the deceased ex-Senator and his beautiful and accomplished/second wife. Then came further developments of a nature which skirts close upon the borderland o the supernatural. A lady, as Tuesday’s News related, far away in Washington, has a dream, in which she thinks she secs Mrs. McDonald engaged In a mysteriou 3 business transaction with a young man. to the dreamer unknown, but so distinct that, waking, she is certain she could identify him in any part of the world that she should meet him. She writes of her dream to Indianapolis friends and then herself comes on to this city. She is taken o the Insane hospital and confronted with a young man, violently insane, whom she instantly and impressively declares to be the man of her dream. Following this comes the undisputed statement that the young man at the Insane Hospital is the person who transcribed the will of Sena, tor McDonald. After the Senator's death he bad became insane, imagining that his face was turning black. Upon the heels of this strange mingling of dream and waking comes a petition of attorneys for an order of court authorizing them to ex' amiqd’Mrs. McDonald previous to the be beginning of the trial. What is expected and desired from this examination is kep v scrupulously from the public, but intimations are vaguely given out that there aid yet other unusual facts to come to light.” Dr. Hays Agnew, the celebrated physician and surgeon, died at New York ou . Wednesday. Dr. Agnew, it will be remembered, was the operating surgeon/in the case of President Garfield, and one of the consulting physicians in the case of the late Senator Conkling. ■

ALMOST DEFEATED.

A Test Vote in the House on the Silver Bill ' Resulted 148 Ayes to 148 Nays—An Exciting Day AU Round—The Vote in Detail. Thursday, the last legislative day of the silver debate in the House, opened with crowded galleries and a full attendance of members of the House. The greatest diligence has been exerted by the leaders of both sides for the past three days to secure the presence of every member not absent from the city when the hour of final vote should arrive, and so well had they succeeded in their efforts that only the gentlemen who had been granted leave by the/House were absent when the gayel tell, and these were so equally divided on the question that neither side derived any advantage from their non-attendance. Immediately after the reading of the journal the period of general debate was extended three hours by the announcement of Mr. post-

pone the motion for the previous question until 5 o’clock, in order to give opportunity for greater debate. The debate followed, participated in by more than a dozen members, and at times was warm and exciting. At 5 o’clock Mr. Butler of lowa being recognized, closed the debate by saying that when the act of 1813 had brought the farmers of the country into a condition of suffering the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Taylor), a millionaire, arose with a committee substitute for the bill and added insult to Injury and mocked the farmers in their suffering. As Mr. Butler sat down, Mr. Bland, the persistent advocate of the bill, was recognized by the Speaker, and in a quiet tone of voice demanded the previous question on the pending bill. Mr. Burrows, like half the members of the house, was on his feet, but he was there not from anxiety, but as his party’s ipokesman. The chair recognized him xnd Mr. Burrows moved to lay the pend_ Ing bill on the table and said that motion look precedence of the motion of the gentleman from Missouri and demanded the jreas and nays on this motion.

The chair decided in favor of Mr. Burrows, and then amid intense excitement the clerk began to call the roll on Mr. Burrow’s motion, whfehbrought the question to a square test vote. Excitement became Intense as the call progressed and nembers plainly showed it in the restless nanner in which they moved about and crowded to the space in front of the ipeaker’s desk. At the conclusion of the roll call the excitement had risen to fever heat. At first I rumor spread that the motion had been carried by three votes and the Bland bill was beaten. An anti-silver man in the rear of the house started to shout but quickly checked himself as a doubt overcame him.

Private information given out'that the rote stood yeas 148, nays 147, excited every nember and the aisles were thronged as the clerk proceeded to recapitulate the rote. The tension to which the members were subjected had the effect of reducing them to a state of comparative quiet, although anxiety way shown on every countenance. But in the galleries the buzz of sxpectation was very noticeable, and it vas with difficulty that the clerk, reading n a clear, resonant voice could make himlelf heard. The recapitulation being completed the speaker rose from his chair to mnounce the result, but before doing so llrected the clerk to call his name. The •Jerk called “Mr. Crisp, of Georgia,” and 'Mr. Crisp, of Georgia,” availing himself )f his’ilght as a Representative, cast his rote in the negative amid the deafening ipplause of the advocates of the measure. Mr. Bland, not aware that this vote laved his measure from immediate annihilation, changed his vote from the negative to the affirmative in order that he night have an opportunity to move a retonsideration, but being advised in a monent that the motion was defeated by a lie vote again changed it to the negative.

In the meantime the members had clus.ered in the space in front of the Speak;r’s desk, and many propounded questions is to the-side upon which they were retorded. In each case the reply was a satisfactory one, and no change was made in the result. As the inquiries as to the manner in which they had been recorded were being mswered, Mr. Enloe of Tenn., with his hat on, hastily strode into the h use and laid he desired to have his vote recorded. The Speaker—“ Was the gentleman in the House during the roll call and failed to hear his name called?” Mr. Enloe was compelled to respond in the negative. The Speaker was inexorable and said the gentleman could not vote* Mr. Enloe yielding and announcing that he had just come in from an investigating committee. Mr. Herbert (Ala.) next asked the same privilege of being recorded and replied in the affirmative to that part of the inquiry as to whether or not he was in the hall of the House during the vote, but when the Speaker/) second time Inquired if tl>e gentleman failed tohear his name called, Mr. Herbert was fain to reply "I could not say that,” and accordingly the speaker refused to permit him to vote. The motion was lost by a tie vote of years 148, nays 148. The following is the rote in detail: YBAB. Amerman, Andrew, Atkinson. • Bacon. Berwig.

Mr. Outhwaite atonce moved to adjourn The motion temporarily;, left members a( sea as to their coursed Mr. Bland, arising to a parliamentary Inquiry, asked if the effect of an adjournment would be to make another special order necessary to call up the bill. The speaker said it would. The vote on adjournment was declared lost—yeas 99, nays 193 Then Mr. Johnson (O.) took a hand in the fight with a motion to reconsider tbe vote by which the house refused to table AhelbHL-and Mr. Bland parried hisfoi) with a motion to lay that motion on the table. The motion to table the motion to reconslder was reiected, yeaS.l4s; nays, 149. Then it was the turn of the anti-silver men to applaud, and they did so with vim and enthusiasm.

Thc Speaker stated that the vote recurred on the motion to reconsider and Mr. Reed sprang to his feet and demanded, the yeas and nays, and the roll was called Then the thunderstorm, which had been brooding over the House all day, burst in full violence and for twenty minutes or more the cyclone raged supreme throughout the House. The speaker(without ordering a recapitulation) announced that the motion to **econsider was defated by a tie vote of yeas, f 49, nays 149. Mr. Cockran demanded a recapitulation of the vote. The Speaker stated that the demand came too late. The confusion was then redoubled and the speaker was compelled to calf in the services of the Sergeant-at-arms to restore order. Finally the vote was recapitulated by unanimous consent and was announced as yeas 150, nays 148, and the result was loudly applauded by the anti-silverites. The question then was on the motion to lay the pending bill on the table, and after a scene of the wildest disorder the vote was an_ bounced—yeas 145, nays 148—so that the House refused to lay the bill on the table. The chair announced that the question, recurred to Mr. Bland’s motion for theprevious question on the bill and amendments. A motion to adjourn was lost, 80 to 202 - .
