COluble Pacific Guano, Improved in
y Quality and ConditiOn.-The quality
of this Guano is materially improved this season
by the addition to its composition of a large
per cent, of the Salts of Potash
1t is improved in condition by being brought
into market sufficiently dry and uniformly fine
to pass with facility and regularity through the
ori6ces of the Wheat Drill. s-4 a'BG9t
More than ST. 600 900 is involved in the pro-
duction of this Guano, and the trade in it has
steadily increased, until now it far exceeds that
of any other fertilizer. SO s 7sls gses s4a95
4 The Pacific Guano Company has a far greater
interest in the maintenance of the quality of it's
Guano than any number of consumers can have !;
hence no apprehension need exist as to its con-
tinued excellence aiaaes

The CosT OF THE Wharf.-The following Jeu
a. esprit, growing out of the European war, is
given in the correspondence of Mr.. Max Gug-
genheimer, of Lynchburg. We have not seen
it mentioned in any of the papers: ---5
''King William, at the commencement OF
hostilities, inquired of Count Bismarck, his
Prime Minister, how much he thought the war
would cost? The Count responded promptly,
that he thought it would cost two Napoleons
the old one and the young one."

Chicago Items-The Grain IntePest I
and the Railroads.

CHICAGO, March 30.-The Iowa ell
evator, owned in this city, by Spru-
ane, Preston & Co., has track run
ming to point within few feet of
the Chicago q Northwestern Railway,
but the officers of the company have
refused, and still refuse to allow a
connection to be made with them not
withstanding both tracks are In pub
lie street. The proprietors of the ele-
vator, few days since advertised that
they would receive grain for storage,
at the rate of one cent per bushel,
for twenty days, and one-half cent for
each ten days thereafter, these rates
being one half those charged In other
elevators. To meet the expected con-
signments of grain, they made ar
rangements to receive ii at the near
est point to them and have it convey
ed inWagons to their warehouse. On
Saturday five car loads of corn arrived
on the Northwestern r. II consigned
to them, and on Monday two cars
more. The Railroad Company re-
fused to deliver it to them, and the
grain was sent into another elevator.
The officers of the road claim that
they are acting under the instructions
of the Board of Directors, although
they know it - be in clear violation
of the laws of the State and the de-
cision of the Supreme Court. This
action of the Northwestern Railroad
excites much indignation In the
Board Of Trade, aud was the general
topic of conversation to-day. No ae-
ton will be taken by the Board until
after the election of officers, which
| will take place next Monday
when the offices will be filed by meu

dangerous assumption of power By

part of the Northwestern or any 0the

consigned, will be prosecuted to th'

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The news
of the death of General Thomas, &C.
casioned intense sadness here. The
general order announcing his death
to the family, was issued this. after
noon. The President addressed a
telegram Of coincidence to Mrs. Thorn
as, at San Francisco. We understand
the remains will be brough, to Trey,
N. Y, for interment, and will be es-
corted from San Francisco, by the Of
fcers of the staff.
The following nominations were
sent to the Senate to-day, John w.
Allen, Postmaster, Cleveland Ohio;
Melville Martin, Postmaster, Delavan,
Wisconsin.
The Senate to-day confrme d the
following nominations:
Allen Rutherford, third -Auditor of

Illinois, Secretary of Legation at

eurity of life on board steam vessels,
or1 nAhor ia
from the Senate committee on COM
points from the draft of bill recon-
mended by the Treasury Department,
of which a full abstract was given
recently.
The San Domingo treaty was dis
cussed 10 the Executive session this
afternoon. Nye advocated its ratif-
cation on the ground of CONNER
cial necessity. He argued that the
time would come when all Islands ad-
jacent to the United States would be
under the protection of the United
States, and that they would occupy to-
wards this country a position similar
to sentinels to the army.
Patterson followed in a speech
comparatively brief, taking strong
ground against ratification. He main
/ tanned that it was contrary, at this
| time, to tAe interests of the country
/ to acquire any tropical territory what
ever, the sentiments of the people
generally being against such proceed
ing.
Casserly has the floor and will ar
que against the treaty when again
| taken mn The time for exchange al
ratification expired to day, but in the
absence of officially communicated
information, the friends of the treaty
have no doubt extension could be
procured from San Domingo if so de-
sired. The Senate to-day took no
action whatever on the treaty.
