The Sensation In Cotton.
New YORK, May 25.-Some excitement
was occasioned in the cotton market to-day
by the reported embarrassment Of several
firms and the failure of commission house.
The latter request all their creditors to
cover their contracts at market prices. They
state that their suspension is only Temporal
~ and they will ultimately be able to meet
their obligation in full. The cause of the
embarrassment of this and other firms is
due to the rise in the price Of cotton caused
by the operation of ring of spectators.
The name of the houses are not given.

DUBUQUE, la, May 25.-About O'Clock
this afternoon large brick building, known
as the town clock store, occupied by Jno. Bell
& Co., wholesale and retail dry goods, fell
with a terrible crash, and is now a heap of
ruins. None of the proprietOrs were in the
building, and the clerks, hearing premon-
itory crash, fed to the rear of the building
and escaped. Two women who were pass
ing along the sidewalk in front of the store
at the time, one Of them trundling a baby
wagon, were caught by the falling walls, and
one woman and the baby were killed, the
other woman had both legs broken. The
cause was undermining of the walls by
yorBmen excavating for new building i'm
mediately adjoining. They saw the walls
giving way, and left the pit with the teams
unframed.

The Civil Rights Eli.
II -
Special to the Cincinnati Commercis


The sentiment of the leading members
of the House of both parties is that Sena-
tor Summers emasculated civil rights bill
will not be reached by the House during the
present session. 1t is at the bottom of the
order of business on the Speakers table,
and there are more than hundred bills on
top of it which must be acted upon by the
House or be set aside by tWo-thirds vote.
Even the friends of the civil rights bill ad-
NIT that it has not two-thirds vote in the
House, and the possibility of its coming up
for vote before being reached in its regu-
lar order is very small.
There are but few important bills upon
the Speakers table-a dozen or more rela-
ting to railroads, about the same number to
private claims and pensions, and as many
mere to the Indians. Even should these
be disposed of, dilatory motions on the part
of the Democrats or other opponents of the
measure would defeat action upon it at the
present session. 1t may, therefore, be re-
garded as killed.
The Ku-Klux Bill
Is in the same condition. Many of the Re-
publicans are opposed to it, and should it
come up will vote against it, including
Garfield, Farnsworth, Blair, Finkeln-
burg, Hay and Amber. Most of
the Republicans regard the measure as
political flyer, and will oppose any action
upon it. If, however, it should come to a
direct vote as party measure, they will feel
compelled TO vote for it. The Democrats
will probably oppose the motion to suspend
the rules for the purpose OF bringing the
bill up, and will endeavor to avoid square
vote, Sut if they are assured that fifteen OF
twenty Republicans will vote to lay the bill
aside after it comes up, they will make nc
objection to taking it mp. 1t would seem
that a majority are opposed to the bill
which, in fact, is intended TO aid the cleo
ton of Grant by securing a considerable
share of the Southern vote.

WASHINGTON.



WASHINGTON, May 25-The Senate at
8 O'Clock this evening, after a continuous
executive session of more than hours, by
the requisite two-thirds vote, advised the
President to negotiate an additional article
to the Treaty of Washington on the basis
recently proposed by the British Govern
ment, though in form somewhat different
from il, but not altered In principles. the
Amendment being designed to secure re-
ciprocity of obligations on the part of both
Governments, without detrfment to either,
and without placing. the United States in
the attitude Of receding from their position
as If in compliance with the requirement
of the British Government.
The action of the Senate tonight is kept
more than ordinarily confidential, as if the
Senators had been placed under additional
obligations Of secrecy, but there is no rea-
son whatever to doubt the truth of the
foregoing statement. f
The President and Secretary Fish, were
tonight officially advised of the action Of
the Senate and a telegram was sent by the
latter TO minister Schenck, acquainting him
with the facts for the information of the
British Government. 1t is expected that
on Monday response viii be received from
London, when the Senate Willratify the ad-
diticnal article to the treaty.
An Indian WAR I'm Prospect
Gen. Sheridan advises the War Depart
ment that there are about 1000 hostile In
dams collected near Fort Berthol, who have
declared their intention to oppose the pro-
greSs of work on the Railroad this summer.
They have torn up the stakes planted by
the surveying party in the Powder river
country. When the Railroad Company
shall have pushed their work to the west side
of the Missouri these Indians contemplate
a concentration of their forces for general
hostile movement en- masse against the
companies. They have among their leaders
the following well-known hostile Indian
Chiefs: Setting Bull, Black Moon, Iron Dog,
Iron Horn, Four Horn and Long Dog.
These Indians are well armed and equipped.

From the st. Paul Dispatch, Dec. s.
Ihe front doors Of some Of our hotels were,
last evening, the scenes Of discussions, in which
violent denunciatiors figured conspicuous1y.
The dissatisfied men were strangers, and their
conversations excited the curiosity Of bystanders
to such an extent that it was deemed advisable
to seek an explanation. It appears TINT num-
ber Of men employed by Lyman Bridges & Co. in
in the construction Of Fort McKean, on the Mis-
sour River, had returned to this CITY, in expecta-
ton Of receiving pay for their summers work at
this point. In this they were disappointed,
Mr. Bridges, however, promising payment imne-
dlately upon his arrival at Chicago, where he
reeides, and in the meantime procuring passes
for the men to that city. They claim that large
SUMS are due them, but that they have not sutfi-
c1ent funds IN their possession to pay for food
on the road, and express the conviction that
danger ex1st9 Of losing the amounts seTerally
due them. They aseort that Mr. Bridges has
received pay for the work done, in part st least,
and that they are entitled to their PORTION With
out quibble or delay OF any kind whatever.
This morning number Of them congregated
at General Hancock's Headquarters WITH the
hope that he would extricate them from what
they claim to be an exceedingly disapreeab1e
dilemma, but the result Of the application for
help has not been ascertained.
There are sixty-eight men of the party. a Dor
ton of whom are here, while those employed "a
teamsrers have been left behind at Moorhead
without money to pay for their transportation
hther.
It is proper to state that Mr. Bridges e1plan-
ation Of the difficulty has not been ascartained,
but that the situation Of the en is at the present
tEno embarrassing and agreeable there is no
room to doubt, and it Is hoped that some ar-
rangernent may DO uade by which they will be
able to secure their just dues.

TF0Ht AlE L8teFp0uk HeTCuTy-
There is q strange story current Of an e1traor-
dinary alce Of good luck falling to the share
Of one whom hitherto "fortune had cruelty
scratched" Some years ago young man, re-
specially connected, and q native Of Chester,
became somewhat notorious in this locali-
ty for the reckless life which he Was
living. Becoming involved in some dishonest
transactions, he was apprehended, tried, and
sentenced to O period Of transportation.
4 few months ago an old gentleman died in the
neighborhood Of Chester. He left several
houses and land worth about ESQ 900, besides
several thousands in cash, but left no will. In
quiries we're set On foot as to who would be the
heir to the old mans property, and it was found
the next Of kin was a ne'er-do-well nephew, who
had long since been lost sight Of, and who, it
was supposed, was dead. The circumstance
came accidentally to the knowledge Of a de-
tective officer connected with tho
Liverpool police, who found that the convict
was the heir who was wanted for tho old
mans wealth. He wrote to the Home Office,
and the authorities there promptly took the
matter up, and after scme delay it was found
that the man, after'his sentence, had been re-
moved to penal settlement III Victoria; that
he had obtained his liberty; and that he is at
the present time q prosperous sheep farmer in
that country. The detective has acquainted
him with the fact that he has become the heir
to q large property; but the man is happy in
his Australian home, and it is doubtful if even
the prospect Of becoming Cheshire landho1der
will tempt him to revisit the scenes Of his
youthful follies.
