THE PRESS FIND FAULT WITH GLAD.
STONE.
The London press, although still mod.
crate, find fault with Gladstone for dc.
lending the treaty, and maintaining that
Parliament Is in favor of rejecting the
American demands.
The Times today reviewing the debate
In the House OF Commons, says it is cyi-
dent that tho House is unanimous in re.
pudialing the admissabllity OF tho Ameri.
can claims for indirect losses. Mr.. Glad.
stones language is not likely to induce tho
Americans to withdraw tlicir demands.
The Times strongly dcprcciates the verbal
discussions over the treaty.
Tho Daily Telegraph criLicices the utter
ances OF the American journalists on the
subject, and says the English government
in tho stand 1t took, has only obeytd lhc
unanimous impulse Of the country, but the
speeches Of Gladstone are indisCreet, and
will probably prove mischicvous.
STEAMER COLORADO RUN INTO ny THE
ARABIAN.
The steamship Colorado, which sailed
from Liverpool yesterday for New York,
when just outside the Mersey, was run into
with great violence by the Arabian, in
ward bound. The Colorado received Sc
we're damages, and was run ashore to pre-
vent her sinking in deep water with all
on board. The Arabian which was com.
paratlvely but little injured, rescued all
the passengers oil the Colorado, except
five in the steerage, who it is supposed
jumped overheard in the panic which
followed and were lost. Tie passengers
were brought back TO Liverpool.
In the House of Commons to-day, MIR.
Gladstone moved a vote Of thanks to the
Right Hon. John Evelyn Dennison, the
retiring Speaker Of the House, and also a
resolution recommending his elevation to
the Peerage.
MIR. Disraeli, who was present, seconded
both motions and they were carried by
acclamatiOn.
In accordance with the notice given
yesterday, Mr.. Milbank proposed TO
call on Sir Charles Dixie to Justify before
the House his recent speeches against the
Crown, but he was ruled out Of order.
A new company, which proposes to lay

he thought II Just as necessary that Il
should apply to churches as well as "a
other corporations.
MIR. THURMAN said that as he had M
hopes Of the bill being 30 changed as Ia
enable him 10 vote for II, he took no in.
terest in perlecting It and would therefore
vote against all amendments.
Mr.. SHERMAN said he would vote for
the amendment with the hope that Il
would be strengthened by leaving out
churches, although he thought II ought To
apply To them too.
Mr.. Wilson said hc would vote for this
amendment for tho same reason-tO
strengthen the civil rights bill.
Mr. TRUMDULL reminded Mr.. WILSON
that he had promised 10 vote against ali
amendments to the amnesty bill.
Mr., WILSON replied that that remark
was made before Christmas, when the
friends ol amnesty hoped to get It passed
before the holiday recess.
MIR. HAMLIN said he would vote for the
amendment for the purpose Of strength.
cning parts Of Mr.. SJntNRR's bill.
MIR. ANTHONY said the amendment
must bo made if tho bill was 10 have his
vote, because he would never vote TO nut
the first law on the statute book which
would interfere with religion. He would
never vote for q law TO punish any church
Tor closing It's doors against any person Tor
any reason good or bad. Thai was mat.
Ter which concerned only members of
the church, and with which the law had
no right whatever to interfere.
hlr. CARPENTER said lie would vote for
Ibis amendment and II itprevailed would
move further to strike out the 4th section
enforcing the right Of the colored man to
sit as Jurors.
Mr. CoRBETT took the same position as
Mr.. ANTHONY.
Mr. MORTON argued that the general
provision prohibiting discrimination
against any ono on account Of color, pro.
hlbits the rejection OF color cd men as
jurors, and denounced tic laws excluding
men from the jury box as the worst kind
Of legislation.
Mr.. VIcKERs moved 10 strike out oil re.
lating 10 schools, and argued that the rea.
son emitting the church and cemetries
from the bill applied with equal force TO
schools.
MIR, FRELiNGHUYsEN's amendment was
then alopted-yeas 80; nays 90.
Mr., CARPENTER moved 10 strike out
the 4th section in relation 10 Jurors. Lost
yeas 12; nays az.
Mr.. COLE moved TO substitute citizen
for person in section 8.
MIR. TRUMBULL denounced this rs an
attempt To discriminate against foreigners
residing here, including those WHO in.
tended TO become citizens. He supposed
the object Of Mr.. Cole in Offering this
amendment was to exclude Cinnamon
from the provisions ol the bill, but as We
had provided that Hottentots and Pagans
might become citizens, there was no good
reason for excluding peaceful, intelligent
Asiatics.
Mr.. TRUMBuLL also charged that the
Of amnesty were voting for these
amendments for the purpose of defeating
the amnesty bill.
Mr.. MoRToN said he had supposed there
was great anxiety on the part Of tho
friends Of amnesty 10 pass the pend.
ing bill, but he now saw he had been

The motion was carried and the Senate
adjourned.

Death Of Ex-senator Grimes.

BuRLNGToN, Iowa, February Sex
Senator Grimes died at his residence in
this city ut half past eight o'clock last
evening Of heart disease. The first at.
tack came on about two weeks ago while
he was on the street and consisted Of q
sharp pain in the heart, resulting In
nervous prostration. On Tuesday Of this
week he had three attacks OF like charac.
ter in close succession. Last evening
about seven o'clock, while conversing
with some friends at his home he was
again taken in the same way; this was
soon succeeded by a second and third at.
tack, the latter proving fatal at the time
above stated. Since his return home
from Europe he has been in apparent
good health, though he complained oc.
casionally Of paralytic symptoms similar
TO those with which he was prostrated in
Washington before his resignation. The
heart disease first made iTs appearance
two weeks since. Senator Grimes father
died oi the same disease.

team for the Broken Kettle for wood.
They were overtaken by the storm on the

Of the men dug their way into a big snow
DRIFT and remained there while the other
man proceeded on his way with the team.
The men in the snow drift remained there
a day and u half before they dared toyen.
ture out, but suffered no material injury
by their long imprisonment. The man
who kept on his way, together with the
horses, was found day or two since
frozen to death near Suttons, some fifteen
miles above this city. As lar as known
positively eight persons were frozen to
death during this storm within radieus
Of fifteen miles OF here. The loss in stock
