" Toward the end of 1879 J was brought into frequent personal rontact with the chiefs of the Nihilist party at Geneva. The leading spirit since the death of the notorious uPere Bakounine" at Berne is an ex-professor of the KiefiF University; 1 who, not being able to obtain a per rots de sejour, owing to his being without his papers, manages to evade the Swiss police regulations on the subject by changing hia domicile about every three or four weeks.

to the Radical nartv at Geneva, suc

ceeded in acquiring the Geneva bourgeoisie. The police therefore. . cannot in terfere with him in any way as long as he does not offend against Swiss laws or Swiss Tights; He keep a smallshop, where 1 have frequently, been, which serves as a kind of central bureau for expatriated Nihilists, They are addressed hither on leaving Russia and are here furnished with supplies and instructions. It was . from this very bureau that Vera Sassulitch used to draw the funds which enabled her to live en the shores of the Lake of Geneva, near the Vaudois frontier of the canton. Tn fact she acknowledged that she had been with him only a few days before ray first visit to Geneva. His shop is a mere pretext, and it is only in the afternoon, toward dusk, that oue is apt to meet a curious assemblage of faces in t his back parlor. I noticed a large preponderance of Moscovite Jews, with their thin, black beards and yellow complexions; and this coincides with the Berlin and St, Petersburg police reports, which show that the discontents are recruited very largely from among students of Jewish origin. There is also the fictitious proprietor of a large house used as a boarding establishment for Russian refugees exclusively, where they are lodged and fed until some: work in con nection with the cause has been confided to them. I managed to visit several secret Russian priming presses, situated' in the worst quarters of the town ( have still the addresses), whence the first numbers, of the Oarodnaya Volya were issued, before it was decided to print it in Russia itself. Tne Tch'vrny Peredel, the Nabat and other Russian revolutionary, proclamations and pamphlets are printed here and then smuggled by the most extraordinary meaus across the Russian frontier-. The owners of the houses in which the printing establishments were situated pretended to be unaware of the existence of such presses, and stated that thev did not even know the names df their lodgers, who paid them regularly each week. I saw many Russian revolutionary documents and papers in the act ot being printed, the printers being mostly of the low Jewish type above referred to. In my conversation with the Nihilists in Switzerland, I ma v mention as a curious fact that while they were more vioknt in their denunciations of the t ate Emperor and his brothers and nephews, and also of certain court favorites, I never once heard them say a single word against the present Emperor or his brothers. I was at Geneva about the time when the attempt to blow up the imperial train on the Moscow railway had j ust takenplace, and their disgust at the failure of the attempt was great. The bitterness of their hate of the late Emperor exceeds all imagination, and I shall never forget a long night passed in conversation with one.of their chiefs, when, warmed by wine he had drunk and excited by the discussion, ho used all his arguments in attempting to justify every possible crime against tiRthe late Emperor's person and , his stiroundings. Most severely did he inveilgle against the immortality of the late Emperor's brothers, whi.ih is, all the more reprehensive in their specia l cases, as in the eyes of the Russians the Czar is not only temporal but also the spiritual autocrat of the empire. His family should never, forget this, and one of the most convincing proofs of my assertion is .that; the present Emperor, whose private life is . sans reproche, does not seem to have incurred the violent hatred on the part of the Nihilists which follo ws his uncles. At the very time that I was at Geneva a letter arrived from the federal state department at Berne stating that the Russian minister had bitterly complained of the existence of the printing presses which I had visited. The Swiss police, however, asserted their inability to do anything in the matter as long as the papers and documents were not actually published in S witzerland, and nothing was done. The Russian police master in great force at Geneva; some of their very cleverest agents are in constant residence there, and they are. ably supported by the present Russian Minister .at Berne, M. de Hamburger,that shrewd ex-chiet de cabinet of T Prince Gortschakoff, who is creditel with having been the primary power and instigator in the setting aside of the Black Sea treaty. The Russian police have often tried to inveigle E- - into some offense against the Swiss laws, such as counterfeit coinage, etc., but hitherto without sue cess. His work is certainly well organized, as is; every tning else in this terrible association. None of his party appear to be in want,and to the many I have met in Switzerland and elsewhere money seemed no object, whereas with the French Communist refugees at Geneva it was far different. Rochefort alone, rich with his 20,000 francs a year from the Marseillaise and 20,000 francs from the Rappel, was able to live comfortably ana luxuriously while the others were in constant want and dependent on the some wha t un wil ling charity of the. Genevese. Rochefort, I need scarcely say, was on most intimate terms with the leading Nihilists. Reduction of the Debt fc Washington special.

Rapid as has been the reduction of the public debt in the past few years, it will be reduced still move rapidly

with the refunding of the fives and

sixes shortly to become due. . A little

over $200,000,000 of six per cent, bonds

are redeemable June 30 of this year. These are the only six per cent, bonds outstanding. The live per cents, are redeemable May I next,-and there are $469,000,000 of these. With these two classes of bonds refunded at a lower rate or interest, there will nothing remain bearing a higher rate than 41 per cent This loan amounts to $250,000,000, and it is redeemable in Septem

ber, 1691. The tax-payers, therefore, are confron ted with a rather pleasan t picture. They not only have the satisfaction of knowing that the debt is being rapidly reduced, but that within a short time there will be. no. part of the debt bearing a higher rate than 4 J per cent..-. ..,' . ....... Surprise is Often expressed that the four per cent3 are higher in maiket than the four-and-a-halfe. This ia owing to faet that the fours , are long bonds and can not be redeemed before 1907, . On the other other hand, the four-and-a-halfs have about ten years more to run; Hence the "ibng'bond is preferable and commands a higher price in the inarket. . r ." . i ... A Heroic Death. Flttsburg Dispatch to N. Y. Herald Two workmen on the Baltimore and Ohio road to-day gave a wonderful evidence of their fidelity, deliberately choosing death to themselves in order to protect the lives of a hundred others

who were in the care of the company. About half-past two o'clock this afternoon, John Sullivan and hi3 broth i r, Michael, were at work on the track near Demmeler station. John Sul ivan was the section boss of the subdivision between McKeepo.rt and Port Perry, and he had made a tour along the track to see if everything was in proper condition." He found a rail that was not quite straight; so he and his brother took a h eavy track m ai l 's crowbar, and lifted the rai! up to straighten it.

While they were busily at work the 3

afternoon accomodation train bound east with a heavy load of passengers came along. There was a curve just below the place where, the men were working, and they did not see the train until it was almost upon them. They took in the situation at a glance.

me men seized the bar anu negan frantically to pull and twist about. The engineer of the train saw them but could not stop. He says their efforts to free the crowbar and lower the rail were frantic and liks the working of madmen, aud. they seemed to forget their own danger. The bar was loosened and rail lowered just as the train reached it, but the men who had done so nobly paid dearly for their daring. The engine struck" them and killed John instantly, and mangled Michael so frightfully that he died in a thort time. The men were married and leave families.

The doctors and sailors from the American ships particularly distinguished themselves in tending the wounded at Scio. The Republicans at this writing have not been able to agree as to the policy to be pursued in relatiou to the pending business, but a caucus is wrestling with the subject. Many members and Senators insist that the Republicans must make a consistent aud satisfactory record on the fee and salary question, while others maintain that it will be impossible to mature a just measure on that subject in the slim t time remaining. Other Senators aud members of both parties insist that the Governor should call another special session upon the understanding that it would sit ten, fifteen or twenty days, and devote the time to the completion of the bushu sa now ready for final action. The Governor is understood to be strongly opp:sed. to another special session, but many leading Republicans think that it would be better for the interests of the people and of the Republican par y to, get matters in a better shape before, final adjournment; All who are familiar with the facts of the situation concede that the Senate will be chiefly to blame if a large amouut of useful legislation fails of enactment.

Mr. Pendleton replied that the gentleman now made the charge without any qualification, and he would leave it to the gentleman from Georgia (Brown) to again make him retract it His colleague (Sherman) had stated that the struggle uow.goinfij on here was a struggle for political power in Virginia, that it involved tho destruction of the Democratic par:y in that State, and the installation of the Republican party. The insrtunient to be used to brims: about this result was the giving to Riddleberger a brigade of employes of this Senate, paid at public expense, to nreambulate that State

and to watch and win the local elections. This was the struggle to which the Democratic Senators were invited. The gage of battle hsd bee n thrown down, and he .ventured, in the presence of his Democratic brethren, to take it up. The Democrats would invite the Republican side ever and continually to go into the discharge of public 'business,. and they would submit to its guidance in the transaction of that business; they would industriously and faithfully consider the nominations, and when the public business was all discharged they would unite in adjourning the Senate, but they would not unite in desecrating that altar (pointing to the clerk's desk) consecrated to the discharge of great public duties, dedicated to the service of all parties but for the partisan use of none, and permit it to be made the instrument of political warfare and spoils of petty partisan triumphs.

Tnis charge created some-little astonishment iu the Senate Chamber, and it was evident that Mr. Dawes spoke by authority of Mr. Mahone. ; Another sharp and exciting scene occurred in the Senate this afternoon. Mr. Dawes charged that somebody on the Democratic side had, before this Senate met, approached Mahone and offered to him the plac of Sergeant-at-Arms far his vote. The Democrats cried out,. "Name the man!'' Mr Pendleton demanded the name of the man. , Mr. Harris, who was Chairman of the Democratic caucus committee, was greatly excited, and insisted that Mr. Dawes should name the Democrat who had tried to buy Mahone's vote. Unless the name was given, Mr. Harris said he would not believe a word of the statement. Mr. Dawes said that Harris was trying to intimidate him. Mr. Butler sought to interrupt Senator Da wes, and asked the latter to pardon him Mr. Dawes replied: uIt is beyond my power to pardon you." Mr. Butler retorted that Senator Dawes was impertinent and discourteous This scene excited both sides, and aroused again the bitterness of feeling.

The leaders of the Republican and Democrat ic parties ridicule the idea of thei r organizations d?shanding.

Washington, April 14. The collision in the Senate yesterday between Senators Kill and Mahone has had the effect to in tensity the bitter feeling between the two political bodies, and an end to. the dead-lock seems farther off than ever. There were indications two or three days ago that a solution of the difficulty might be speedily reached, bu t this i no longer looked for, and the whole question returns to the condition it was a month ago a question of physical endurance. . iV The Senate galleries were crowded to excess to-day, but the spectators, had nothing for their pains beyond an exceediingly dull and prosy two-hours speech from Gen. Morgan, of Alabama. Senator Hill was in his seat,- looking quite subdued. General Mahone came in early, but soon went to one of the cloak rooms, where be was surrou? ded by his friend'. In regard to any probable personal difiiculties that may grow out of the exciting episodes which have occurred and are likely to occur, it is said that the friends of Mahone are perfectly serene, as they have on their side in Virginia nearly all the men who are noted as practical

upholders of ti e code. Iu'reference to

The Senate intends io adjourn this

afternoon until Monday.

A Republican caucus v. ill probably be held Saturdav, and will consider

and discuss the present situation in all its bearing and influences. Republican Senators generally say that the

calling of the eaeiiB does not foreshad

The Republicans are entirely

united and harmonious. They

recognize the policy of confirming

some of the most important pending

nominal iomt, and such of the leading

nominations, as Robertson, Price, Pardee, Hitt and others which had not yet been referred. The first executive

session would, in the natural order of

business, refer all' nominations to the committees. As the committees are controlled by Republicans they, could report back only such nominations as they desire on firmed, and hold tack all others.

Washington, April 15. Influential Democrats threaten to bring out in debate in the Senate next week Senator Mah one's record of personal quarrels with Democrats in Virginia and the manner in which he escaped fighting a duel with General Bradley Johnson, of Maryland. They allege that evidence will be Hubmitted showing that Mahone is brave only in words, and while giving just cause for attack, has escaped fighting a duel by questionable means. The drift of talk in; Democratic quarters to-day indicates a purpose on their part t o try and force Mahone into a position where he Will be obliged to fight. Up to 'this time, however, he has dealt blow for blow, and says he does not intend, to submit to any personal insults; j ' Leading Republican Senators say it is not true that any of their number desire to back down, and that the deadlock will continue until the Democrats yield. :. tf j GENERAL ASSEMBLY, f

The Hoube, un .Monday, took up,

amended and passed the Senate code,

bill concerning decedents estates, containln g 2 10 sections. The House then tackled the specific appropriation bill, and made good progress in its consideration. . -, ... ;, T.y I lepvesentative Cauthorn has mapped out a debate for Friday afternoon to take the place of the foolish fun that usually prevails when the- ti me for more serious business has passed. The subject of his proposed debate is a resolution affirming an oldr lashioned Thomas Jefferson, platform, i but f predict ! that the "boys" won't stand such dry fun as that; " The calendar on Monday, morning showed the condition of legislation to be as follows: The Senate has passed 114 bills, of which number 68 have passed Uie House, and 46 are still pending there. The House has passed 168 bills, of which number 38 have passed the Senate, and 136 are still pending in that dilatory ca.ve of winds. These figures show, plainly where the be3t work of the session has been done. Let it be. added that the House has also disposed of every code bill that has come befoPd it, except an hour or two of work on the public offices bill. .. . ;., The Senate has amended the House election bill codification by striking out the patent; ballot box feature. The clause requiring voting precincts to consist of not more than, 350 voters is retained. . 'V.. . The Prosecuting Attorneys of the State will have to rub along on $500 a year, as the House refused to concur in the $700 amendment of the Senar.e, and the Senate receded. The, general appropriation bill is in ..the hands of the Governor. A bill has; passed bot. Houses, and is pending in concurrence in amendments, that cuts off the constructive

mileage of Sheriffs and the constructive fees of Clerks. A Senate amendmeut to the bill concerning short-hand reporters of Court proceedings, makes women eligiblefor that work. :,;.. The House, on Tuesday, passed a bill to eucpurage the improvement of live stock. It provides for licensi ag stallions and jacks, and gives the owners of such animals a lien upon t he colts beeotteii by said animals. The House, on Tuesday, sp amended the code bill relative to public offices and officers as to provide that litigants may control , the publication of legal

nonces ami maive uieix own uargams therefore. .

Wednesday was by far the livelujst

day of the session in the House. On Tuesday .evening the Republican cau

cus after due deliberation, came to the

conclusion that it was the imperative duty of the Republican members to pass a fee and satary bill if possible. It was funher concluded jthat it world not be possible to pass such a bill as an Independent measure. Thereupon the pending fee and salary bill, drawn7 by the com mi ttees of the two HousiiS, was amended by the cjaucus and it was resolved that the bill thus amended should' be Incorporated1 as .tin

antendmend tinto the pending Senate code ofU concerning public offices aud officers. This action was made known to the Democratic, members on Wednesday morning, and when the "big"' amendment was offered the struggle commenced. The Democrats claimed that they had not had time to study the amendments. They all favored a fee aud salary bill ever so much, but each one had a particular notion on the subject, and he couldn' t vote for this amendment. The truth of the matter was,

they didn't want the v Republicans to. have the credit of passing such a bill. They fought the Republican advance inch by inch using' every Earliamentary weapon . to repel and inder the proposed legislation, but the Republican majority held steadily toe ether and made : haste as slowly as

possible in order to give as much opnortunity as could be gliven for the

amendment and discussion of their measure. Finally, at about 4 olock p. m., Gibson, of Clark, for the pur

pose of killing the measure offered a long printed bill as an amendment to

the nendiui? amendment, and demand

ed the reading of ihe bill. The Speaker ruled him out of order, and he appeal

ed. Cany of White, took the chair, and the House that had heretofore, pre

served fairly good order, became a per
