A bill, rcpealing the bankrupt law, was
carried through the House Of Representa-
tives, on the 10Th Of January, by the re-
quiste two-thirds vote, and without dis
cussion. 1t is thought Mt Washington that
the Senate will concur 10 the action Of the

FRANCE.
Ministerial Appointments by the
President

PARIS, May 1S.-The President has just
appointed Casino Perier, minister of the in
terror; Tourton, minister of public worship
Beranger, minister of public works; ard
Washington, minister of public instruction.
The other ministers are unchanged. 1t is ex-
pected on the meeting OF the assembly that
Perier will move the postponement of all de-
bate on questions of general policy until
the territory is evacuated by Germans.
The Message De Paris thinks the Presi-
dent has come victorious out of the crisis,
and that with the ministry formed of or
resting upon the left centre he may expect
to see calm restored. The monarchists are
dissatisfied with the appointment of Perier.
AT the meeting of members of the right yes
terday, speeches were made appealing to the
assembly to act with energy and rescue
France from radicalism. 1t was resolved
that the first business to come before the
assembly would be demand for an expla-
nation of the policy of the new cabinet; that
II tn should prove unsatisfactory the effort
be made to force the ministers to resign;
and finally that the party will not hesitate
to overthrow President Theirs if he refuses
to renounce his trimming policy.
PARIS, May 19.-The programme of
the new ministry is to organize the repub-
lie by the enactment of conservative laws
and wholly reject the radical plans.

VIII of MIR. Chase-Last of the Line.

Mr.. Chase's will, which was made not
very long before he died, is quite short and
simple in form, and names Hon. Henry d.
Cooke as sole executor. 1t has not yet
been offered forsregistry, but it is understood
that he leaves $4,000 to Dartmouth Col
lege, N. H.; 900 to Wherefore Uni
yer ;ity, Ohio 1000 to his niece Mrs.
Aud; his portrait of Chief Justice Mar
shall, by Peale, to the United States, to be
placed in the supreme courtroom, and the
remainder of his estate equally between
his two daughters, Mrs. Sprague and Mrs.
Hoyt. 1t is thought his estate will aggre-
gate something less than 5000, 900, which is
not much of fortune to leave, as things go
nowadays. But he left his children what
few men leave, and what no money can
buy-a stainless reputation.
1t is not generally known, we presume,
that Mr.. Chase was the last of his line.
Yet such is the fact. Although he had six
or seven brothers, it so happened that none
of them had male issue, and all died before
the Chief Justice. And as he died leaving
no son, it follows that the line and name Of
Chase, so far as his fathers immediate
branch of the family is concerned, became
extinct with his DEATH Washington Sta ,

Extensive ConfiasratiOn.

AURORA, ILLINOIS, May 1s.-A fire
in the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy
railroad car shops in this city broke out
about 1880 p. M, to-day, originating in the
paint shop. Eight wooden buildings be-
longing to the railroad company, together
with two dwellings on North Broadway,
were destroyed. Most of the tool shops
were saved. Three Pullman cars, several
passenger coaches, and some unfinished
work, together with large quantity of lum-
Der, were destroyed. There were between
three hundred and fifty and four hundred
freight cars, mostly loaded, standing in
the yard, all of which were saved except
eight cars loaded with lumber. The total
loss is estimated at $3.50, 900, fully covered
by insurance. The origin of the fire is not
definitely known.

HENRY GRINNELL ON THE PoLARIs
ExPEDITIoN.-Henry Grinnell, of New
York, so long prominent in connection with
artlc explorations, expresses an opinion
that Captain Buddington and his men hay
ing plenty fprovisions can live comlorta-
ply on the Polaris, and will safely return
oy the middle of September. lie thought
That captain Hall died natural death, as
he was heavily built, with short neck,
and probably subject to apoplexy. He
did not credit the theory of his having
been murdered. Captain Hall had done
as much as he expected him to accomplish.
1t would be very proper for the govern
ment to send vessel to the mouth of
Smiths sound if the Polaris is not heard
from this year.

The Sayages Again OH the TrOt-The
Troops After them.
WASHINGTON, May ia despatch
from the lava beds, dated the 10th instant,
stated that Colonel Mason's and Captain
Hasbrouck's commands had formed juno
ton near Captain Jacks last stronghold,
and would, in all probability, hem the Mo-
docs in, but a second despatch, dated the
18th, contradicts the former, inasmuch
that junction had not been made, and
furthermore, that the Modocs had escaped
from their stronghold by three routes, but
that both commands were pursuing them.
Nothing has been heard from Donald
McKay's Warm Spring warriors.
At last accounts the Modocs were en-
camped on Snow mountain, twenty miles
south of Sorass Lake. Captain Has,
brouck started in that direction on the 10th
and Colonel Mason's command remained
in the lava beds. 1t is thought that Colo
mel Mason will find the Modocs this time.
Kingbury's command has been sent to re-
inforce him. Mckay thinks Boston
Charley was killed in the last fight.

Return of senators CasserIy and Bay
ard to Washington.
WASHINGTON, May ia New York
special says that Senators Casserly and
Bayard, of the Senate subcommittee on
transportation, have returned here from an
extended trip along the existing and pro-
jected line of the James River and Ka-
nawha canal from the James river to the
Ohio. They examined the feasibility Of a
tunnel of mile through the Alleghanies,
and were assured by competent engineer
that it could be completed in four years
from the time the required assistance was
rendered by Congress. An objection was
made by Senator Casserly to the mountain
reservoir system, but the engineer believed
that it could be maintained by keeping the
canal supplied with water.
The rapid overflow of the Greenbrier
river, on the west side of the Alleghanies,
was urged could be overcome and made
navigable by dams and locks. The COM
mittee were impressed with the vast mine
raj deposits along the banks of the KanaH-
ha and other streams running into the
Ohio, but have not yet agreed on a report
to the full committee on the proposed in
terwater line route. The cost of the COM
pletion of the James River and Kanawha
canal has been estimated by Congress- to
be many millions of dollars.

hymn of praise to the Virgin, and, after a
similar dedicatory address by their leader,
offered the boquets they carried, to be laid
on her altar.
Rev. Father Jameson delivered an adj
