Voted to raise $1n? It so the n* w ad ministration came in none too soon.” Mr Van Wyck gave notice that patents would be contested Mr. Teller replied with a legal and historical statement of the case. He declared that Mr. Van Wyck was a professional anti monopolist and champion, and that his pur pose was to pose before the public and to gain notoriety, ami not aid to do justice or redress wrongs. Mr. Idler reviewed in detail the action of the House and Senate on the question in volved. to slum that in such action as had been taken by Congress, the right of assign ment had been maintained—that is, the right of assignment subject to the conditions of the grant. The interior departmeut, he said, had waited patiently for the action by Con gress. and when it was seen that none was to he had, the certificates had been signed. Mr. Teller wanted no man to defend him for his notion on this subject, lie declined to fall ha‘k under the shadow of the cabinet or the President. He insisted that bv the rules of law and justice, the railroad com pany was entitled to the lands, and it was upon that fait he rested. He had just as much interest in the dignity of the Senate and the preservation of the rights of the leg islative branch of the government as any senator. The head of the department had, however, no seats upon the floor, and was compelled to submit to whatever might be said without any opportunity to reply. When falsehoods were uttered in this body or other with reference to his course, it was undign tied for the head of the department to ques' tion them. If he should go into public print and deny the charges that were made, it would be said that he forgot his relations to the legislative branch of the government. He must submit in silence to the most atrocious slanders uttered in the shape of resolutions or uttered by senators or members, without re ply. Common decency required that the ex ecutive department, and he could speak of it properly as it w as now in the hands of his opponents—common decency required that every resolution that passed, touching upon the interests or acts of the executive, should go to the committee. He did not believe the Senate was aware of the insults that have been oflered from time to time to the execu tive branch by the way of resolutions. It has become the custom to allow resolutions of inquiry to pass without examination. He would call attention to a thing that was done in 1882. An old man who had served his country in two wars who was covered all over with wounds anil with glory, had received from Congress a pension of 872 a month. The general law decided that a man with like infirmities should receive 8i>0 more. One hundred anil twenty-two dollars for a man who had served is Mexico with gallantry, and covered himself with glory—Allan, who had never dressed or undressed without an attendant—8122 a month was being paid to him The question arose, was he entitled to it? It would not have arisen had he (the speaker) been secretary of the interior. It would not have been questioned had he had an opportunity to say then what he had an opportnitv to sav ubseqsuentlv. The attorney general's opinion was invoked, and he said this old man was entitled to 8122 a month. By that time there had been a change in the department, and it was his (Teller's) duty to enforce the opinion of the attorney geDeral. He accepted it as the law of the case. He accepted with alacrity. He said 8112 a month was a bagatelle. It was a disgrace to the nation that it was not more, and he ordered it paid. It was paid, but in the meantime the distinguished senator (Van Wyck) had introduced a resolution requiring that the secretary of the interior should pay but one of these pensions. That resolution had gone to the committee on pensions; but there was an opportunity now for somebody to pose as a watch-dog of the treasury. Here was money being paid out beyond" the law. The resolution forbade the payment of double pensions. He (the speaker) did not withhold pensions With his eyes open, with proper respect for the Senate."he denied the right of the senator to instruct him. He denied the right of the Senate to do so, and if the Senate had said by its vote that he should not pay the money he was tree to say here that he should have disregarded that. Upon a subsequent day the Senate passed a resolution calling upon the secretary of the interior to report why he had seen lit to pay the pension when there was a bill pending requiring him not to pay. Such resolutions were not introduced tor information, but for the express purpose of making an attack in a cowardly way of skulking behind the charges. When such resolutions were introduced, they were seized upon by the eocmies of the ad ministration, and the newspapers were in the habit of making a great deal of them. Mr. Teller described instances in which a vast amount of labor had been put upon the departments by resolutions when information could all been had in an hour had the seeker called personally or sent a letter of inquire. Mr. Van Wvck replied briefly, disclaiming any intention of being personally discourteous to the late administration. At 2..“tO the Senate adjourned until tomor row. WASHINGTON NEWS. The republican senators held a caucus this afternoon to further discuss the formation of the committees. The subject was talked over at length but nothing was decided. In cidentally treaties were mentioned and the question asked whether they had better be considered during the present session. No one advocated that course and no one op posed. It was finally left to the caucus com mittee to determine. First Assistant Postmaster General Crosby was the first bureau otficer to tender his resignation to President Cleveland. His resignation was tendered verbally March oth and formally- in writing on the day following. Crosbv expressed his willingness to remain ill office long enough to induct his successor into the duties of the position. His offer was accepted. President Cleveland will- continue the practice of having cabinet meetings on Tues days and Fridays each week and the first meeting of the new cabinet will be held to morrow. The offices of the various cabinet officials were besieged all day with crowds of people who called either to congratulate the in cumbents on their accession to office or to further aspirations of office seekers. Gen erals Sheridan and Hancock and Chairman Karnum of democratic national committee were among the callers. The number of applications for postmasters received today at the postofflee department has never been equalled in any previous day and the first assistant postmaster general found it necessary to detail a special force of employees to file the applications. When aspirants presented their claims in person they were informed that they must file their applications and await consideration in the regular order The commissions of (15 Pres idential postmasters expire during the pres ent month and ovt r 2f>0 of such commissions will expire before the beginning of the r.ext session of Congress. No eh mges i as yet been made at the White House and it is not believed there will be more than two or three. TERRIBLE EXPLOSION. A Pnwiler Mill Blown Up—Two Men Killed and Another Seriously Injured. Nkwhukgii, N. Y., March The four buildings of I,allin Hand's pow der works, four miles west of here, were de stroyed this morning by an explosion, the shock of which was felt for a distance of twenty miles. Two men were killed ami one fatally injured, and a number of windows in buildings in this city were broken. The first explosion occurred ia the canning mill, which contained It.000 pounds of pow der. The only man employed in the build ing was Kugcne Coleman, who was instantly killed. Hearing the explosion in-the canning mill, Clias Brown and James Coutter, who were at work in the press mill, 100 feet distant, started on a run from the mill, but before they got fifty feet away the mill was blown up. Brown had reached the brow of the hill and was almost out of danger when the explo sion occurred, but he fell dead. No wound was found on him. His death was caused hy the concussion Cutler was (down into a pond, breaking through the ice and sustaining severe injur ies from which, however, he may recover. No others we*e injured. The other build ings destroyed vere the glazing mill and wheel house, which were blown up at the same time TIIE STRIKE. Trains Not Allowed to Pass North ol Leavenworth. Kansas Oitt, Mo.. March 9. A Missouri Pacific official stated that they would not attempt to send pass trsins farther north than Leavenworth, on account of the trouble at Atchison. Business in the freight yards is at a stand still, only one freight train being sent out today. The Missouri Pacific and Wabash mechan ical employes at West Kansas City, went out at II o’clock, today. They have taken no active measure yet, but the freight business is already delayed on account of the lack of helpers No trains arrived on the Missouri Pacific from the north today. Cars are being detached at Atchison, from the passenger trains, and only mail cars are permitted to pass through. Emporia, Kan., March 9, No friegbt train# have passed through on the Missouri Pacific since Saturday. All the employe, s at the depot here have been dis charged except the operator and one other man COAL STRIKE. It Promises to be the Strongest Hattie for Wages Known to Winers. Pittsburg, March 9. The coal miners’ strike whieh was inaugu rated t.idiy. promises to be t:ie greatest war for wages ever fought by the colleries ol this district. Of the 12,000 miner* in the Pitts burg distsict, it is estimated that seven eighths are out today for a three cent rate. The river and railroad miners have joined hands, and it ia confidently asserted by the leadera that the demand will he almost unan imous by tomorrow. President Costello, with a nnmber of agitaiors. are holding meet ings all along the river today, urging all to wiak- a united stand. The operators seemed determined not to accept the demands. The Fistic Arena. Chicago, March 9. Pandv Ryan and Jonn Burke, pugilists, met today, and ‘-Parson" l)»vies as Burke's backer, covered Ryan s deposit of $600 for a fight for $2600 a aide. The time and place were not agreed on, though Bntte. Montana, waa suggested. In reply to a telegram from Richard K. Fox. Ryan todav sent a despatch saying that he would fight Sullivan after hi a match with Burke. He stipulates that the fight will be for $6000 with bard gloves, to finish under the new Loudon rules, the wi nner to take the championship belt as his property. FOREIGN NEWS IN A TERRIBLE PLACE. A Lion Tamer Receives Fearful Wounds From an Enraged Lioness. Paris, March 9. The great lioness in the winter circus here attacked Edward Williams, the lion tamer, while he was putting her through her regular j performance in her cage, last night. The scene at once threw the vast audience into horror, and for a while the people wen' spell bound. Williams made a most desperate struggle and the tight be ween him and the enraged I beast lasted for some minutes, during which he was terribly lacerated. The lioness bound ed about the cage, howling with rage. The ettendant. w ho ran to the windows, assisted with iron bars and prongs, and Anally suc ceeded in saving Williams' life. Rf SMS A LOSING GROUND. Trouble Betweeu the Two Parties of' the Irian Agitators. Paris. March 9. It is alleged that the reported split in the ranks of the Irish revolutionists party be tween the Flannery and Kossa factions had its origin in a dispute about money. The Flannery party insist that they shall have the disbursement of all European collections without any reference to America, while the Kossa following takes the ground that the donations to the cause should go into one fund. It is believed here that Kossa is losing in fluence, and it is thought that this is largely owing to the general discharge of Irish ctn plavees by English firms, because of the general fear and distrust of Irishmen pro duced by the dynamite outrage in London. _ The Nile Expedition. Korti, March !t. Gen Wolseley today made a general re view ot ilie Nile expeditionary force now quartered at this place, induning the troops of Gens, lirack ami liuller, the naval brigade commanded by Lord Beresford. Gen. Wolseley complimented the troops lor the heroism and fortitude with which they had faced the perils nml hardships of the cam paign. GEN. GRANT’S CONDITION. lie Remains About the Same—The sink ing Spells to W hich he i« Subject. i New York, March The Evening Telegram says that Gen. Grant was reported to be comfortable this morning, lie had slept a sleep of exhaustion after the sinking spell of an hour's duration which began shortly after midnight. lie awoke free from pain, hut unahle to leave his bed. These sinking spells are very alarming to the family of the distinguished patient, although they are not regarded with much apprehension by his medical attend ants, who are said to regard them as of merely nervous character. The most serious aspect of the sinking spells is their interverence with the remedies which are intended to reinvigorate his system so that it may longer resist the inroads of his throat affection. It weakens his stomach ami renders it more liable to teject the concen trated food, of which be is already unahle to take enough to keep up his strength, as his physicians would like. His family has be come so apprehensive that Mrs. Saturn has been summoned from England. Gen. Ileal ami Itev. I)r. Newman have also been re quested to come on at their earliest con venience. Dr. Douglas said this morning that he saw no reason to apprehend an earlier termina tion of the General's illness than heretofore It is a rather singular coincidence that Col. W. II. Unwlev of (ialena, Ills., who served on Gen. Grant's personal stall during the war, has just had removed from his lip a j cancer which his physicians claim was caused by excessive smoking. Col. Hawley is said I to watch the built tins of Gen. Grant's condi turn with great inteiest, anil is very much depressed in spirits over the unfavorable reports. He was on peculiarly confidential terms with the great soldier. l)r. Douglas tonight said: Gen Grant did not sleep well Sunday night. During to day he had several profound sleeps. At noon today he said he felt no pain whatever at the throat, and repeated it this evening. lie complained of the need of sleep. An ano dyne was given last night, but it was not ef fected. Tonight, stimu'ants were given in stead. The pulse was normal tonight, ami while I was there this evening the General took food and went to bed. There is no increase of ulceration. His family says that the Gen eral sleeps more than he thinks he does. A SI RANGE CANE. ItCannnl be Decided Whether a Woman is Living or Dead. Mount Clemens, Mich., Mar. 9. A week ago Mrs. Charles Bollenson, a woman of seventy years, suddenly expired, it was supposed, of heart diseaae. Her death was announced and the funeral took place. Tuesday, the life-like appehrance of the body excited much comment, which in creased rather than diminished after burial. Finally, the interest grew so intense that it was thought best to disinter the body. This was accomplished Thursday afternoon, the body having been in the grave two days and two nights It still bore some life-like ap pearance. It was placed in a room in which the temperature has been kept steadily at 75 degrees Not the slightest indication of de composition is apparent, and physicians de clare themselves unahie to determine whether Mrs Bollenson i« alive or dead. The case has created much excitement, MARINE DINANTER. A Steamer Ashore on a Florida Reef— Perilous Nituation. Ket West, Fla March 9. The steamer Alamo, Capt. Bolger, from Galveston to New York via.

gaily gtomebef faurnat. Augusta. Tuesday Morning, Mar. 10 The name of the next Mayor of Augusta is GEORGE E. WEEKS. The government ot this city was handed over yesterday bv the voters to the repub licans. The election means good, honest, faith tul management of the affairs ot the city. It was a rebuke to pretended reform. Seth C. Whitehouse ran behind his ticket in his own ward and throughout the city. It is very evident that the voters have had enough ol his financial management. Mr. Farrington will have an opportunity to retire to private life and mourn over the ingratitude of his fellow citizens. But he has feathered his nest well and that will afford him some consolation. Mr. Weeks will bring to the discharge of his duties an honest pnrpose and the needed ability for the discharge of his trust. The aldermen and councilmen elect are also capable and honest, and will discharge their duties faithfully and up rightly. The New Age ring have met with a defeat which they richly deserve. They have verv few to sympathize with them in the calamity which has overtaken them. They have been personally allusive without any cause or justification, and have published falsehoods that would have staggered Munchausen. And when an editor who re sides in Bangor, and has no personal inter est in city affairs and but little knowledge ot them, assails our best citizens with the coarsest abuse and leads off as a reformer in our municipal affairs, it is no wonder if our citizens feel indignant and severely re buke the offender. General Grant. (From the Tribune, 7th The illness of the General is now so thor oughly known throughout (tie country, and particularly in this city, and has awakened such a universal feeling of sympathy, that it has brought an entirely new class of visitors. These are people who do not know the Gen eral or any member of his family personally, hut who have a warm admiration for the grim old warrior, in bis sturdy battle against bis fatal malady. They do not attempt to en t t the house or even to inquire at the door, hut stand singly or in groups in Fifth ave., or in Sixty-sixth street, and talk of the achievements of the General in time of peace and war, or walk up and down in front of the house, looking at tlie window in the second story where the General's library is situated, and where he spends bis days, in the hope that they may catch a glimpse of him. They were disappointed yesterday, however, for the curtains were pulled down most of the day, and the General was not seen to look out at all. There was hardly a carriage that passed up or dow n Fifth avenue, from which the driver or occupants did not cast a glance at the house, and some of them even stopped for a time near by where thev could watch it. A middle-aged man and an old lady even got out of their coupe, ami after walking down and taking a good look at the front of the house, returned to their carriage and drove away. The tall policeman who stands near the corner of Fifth avenue, said that he had got so used to and so tired f being asked what house Gen. Grant lived in that as soon as anyone looked at him his lips mechanically opened and he repeated, "The first house on the left.” "Why,” said he. "I believe that half the town has been here to-day, and what astonishes me most is that all whom I have heard talk express the greatest sorrow for the General, and couldn’t be nio_e demonstrative in their sympathy if it was their own father who was sick.” The small boys who play in the street seemed to have come within the influence of the general feeling of sorrow, for shout as loud as they may at the Madison-ave. end ol the block, as soon as they approach the ex-l’resident’s house their voices are hushed, and nothing is heard hut the patter ot swift-running feet. As a policeman and the private watchman of the neighborhood were leaning upon the Central l’ark wall, in the shelter of a large clump of evergreen trees,having a quiet chat, at 2 o'clock yesterday morning, the watch man's eve saw a shower of sparks fall into Sixty-sixth street, near Fifth-ave., and im mediately afterward a bright light appeared from the chimney of Gen. Grant's house. “That's a fire,sure,” said he,and accompanied by the policeman he ran to the front door and pulled the bell violently. The sparks con tinued to float out from the chimney and a lurid flame shot several feet above it. Some o( the people living in the house on the other side of the street had been awskened by the bright light shining into their windows, and the whole household was aroused and stood in the rooms anxiously watching the progress of the flames, a num ber ot persons who bad been either seeking business on pleasure gathered in the street, and there were several loud cries of "fire" heard. It seemed an age before Harrison came to the door, still rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. Seeing an ofth-er in uniform, lie hastily inquired. "What’s the matter?" “lour house is ablaze, said," the officer, “on the roof, and you'd better rout every one sn l get them dressed.” Harrison dashed like a flash up the polished stairs to the General's room. He was sleep ing as peacefully as an infant A glance at the fireplace explained the cause of the sud den appearance of fianie upon the roof. The room having become chilly, one of the Gen eral's sons had got up and thrown some wood upon the dying embers, and their burning briskly was the cause of the alarming sight on the roof. The afiair. though it proved in significant, might have been serious, and created considerable excitement. The Gen eral slept through the commotion and was in no wise disturbed. The ex-1’resilient bears his suffering with such great patience and fortitude and with such entire absence of complaint that it appears even to those who see him every day tnat his mind does not dwell at all upon the inevitable end that follows an epithelial uancer in the throat. In a con versation held a few days ago with General Bad-su in his library, iie dropped a remark, that shows that he evidently appreciates the seriousness of his condition. There «as a large amount of manuscript scattered around on the table and floor near him. and he was looking through the various packages and giving directions and information concerning such a« he thought of sufficient importance to incorporate into the history of his life’s work, or of any particular literary value Coming to a piece og manuscript that within the next few weeks he would find it neces sary to use in forwarding his literary labor towaiil c impletion, he began to give direc tions in reference to it. General Hadeau interrupted him and told him that it was unnecessary for him to con tinue any expression of his desires with re spect to this particular piece of manuscrint, as he would undoubtedly be able to dispose of it himself at the proper time. General Grant replied, w ithout a change of expression, or the shadow of a regret or fear upon his face, in his usual tone of voice and business-like manner: “General, that may be what you think; but my impression is that I will not last thirty days.” He then went on and continued the work of going through his papers, without the slightest change in his demeanor.

For the last three months a great many people have been housed up, because they have not felt able to withstand the stormy wintry weather that has prevailed. But un fortunately the confinement and the close air of modern houses during the winter season, is enervating, and the system needs help to enable all the organs to do their proper work. If these organs have been inactive the conse quences are showing themselves in the bili ous condition of the system, or in constipa tion of tile howels, or in disorders of the kid neys, with all the aches and pains that accom pany these complaints. If you are in this condition from nnv cause you should make a faithful trial of that well known remedy Kid ney Wort.
