CHICAGO, March s.
A Washington special says there is no
probability that any action will be taken
in the Caldwell case at this session of the
| Senate. Senators complain that they
| have not been able to examine the volu-
minous testimony taken by the commit
tee. and without doing SO they are not
prepared to vote. They allege that they
want to take the testimony home and
read during the vacation. OF course this
means that nothing whatever will be
done with Caldwell
Sergeant-at-Arms Ordway waited upon
Comptroller Taylor, of the Treasury
Department, to get warrant for the
$lGO, 600 which impatient and Emporium
ing Congre smen have been demanding
for back pay. The Comptroller in
formed Ordway that he did not see how
he could pay the money, as the section
under which this payment was claimed
was so clumsily worded as to be liable to
several constructions, and besides there
were insuperable objections to that sec
ton; it did not specify the amount to be
paid, and made no appropriation for the
purpose. Many members of Congress,

New York, March s.
A story comes from Gibraltar that on
the 18th of December last the Del Gratia
came upon the American brigantine
Mary Celeste, in lat SO north, lon II
west. She had been abandoned by the
crew about three weeks previously, as
shown by her log, and since that time
had drifted about without living being
on board. The cause Of the abandon
ment is a complete mystery, as the
brigantino was sound in every particular
and effects of considerable value WERE
found which, had she been captured by
pirates, would undoubtedly have beel
taken away. Articles found indicate tina
a lady and child were on board. On
thing found may furnish a clue to th
mystery-a sheathed sword blade, whicl
looks as if it had been stained witt
blood and then wiped. There wer
marks of blood on the topsallant sail
:, and bows, which had been cut off aa
: done with some sharp instrument. o
IS course conjectures in regard to the tru
= cause of the abandonment are futile, bu
:. the probability is that for some reaso
d the crew revolted, murdered the captain
l. and passengers, and then took to flight
e taking nothing that would lead to thei
A detection.
