THE LOTISIIN4 COMPROMISE.
Action Of the Arbitr ration Com mi tsee.

New YORK. March I6.-As most of the
papers submitted 10 the Louisiana commit
tee had been thoroughly examined on Friday
and SATURDAY, and the claims of the contest
ants nearly all decided, the business OF tie
members yesterday morning consisted
chiefly In preparing their report. The session
sion Mr.. Wheeler informed the representa-
tives OF the press that the committee had
closed the investigation and made awards I'm
the cases OF the nineteen representatives
whose claims were submitted TO their arbi
tration. From all the evidence which had
come into their possession as well during the
previous investigation as from an examina-
ton of election records, he said the members
OF the committee had unanimously agreed
on their award. but for reasons which
the public would appreciate, II had been
erations known at present. He said the
award OF the committee would be forwarded
at once TO the governor, with the duplicate
returns of the elections submitted 70 them
for examination, and that special session
of the house of representatives OF Louisi-
ana would be convened for the purpose OF
taking action in the matter. He could not
say how soon this would be effected, but he
hoped that the decision at which they had ar
rived would be approved. IL had been
agreed upon after the most careful ex-
ticular case, and was based upon the
impartial Judgment of the members OF
the arbitrating committee. He said ne re
GREETED very much that he could not FURNISH
any particulars to the press, as the circum-
stances of the case rendered il necessary that
the award should not be made public until
the lower house of the Louisiana legislature
should be prepared TO take final action In the
matter. 10 rested entirely with that body 10
confirm the compromise which had been
agreed upon. Ii is understood that Mr..
Wheeler will present the report TO the house
of representatives when the special session In
convened for that purpose. Although moth
ing Of a definite character could be ascer-
tained from members of the arbitration COM
mittee, IL seems 10 be generally understood
by the counsel i'm the case that the conserva-
tives will gain number OF seats through the

BREAKINt UP OF THE ICE IN THE PoTo

BREAKING UP OF THE ICE IN THE PoTo-
MAC AT CUMBERLAND, MD.-The Cumber-
land News of yesterday says "For several
days past a gradual but steady melting of the
snow and ice in this vicinity has been going
on, and small streams have been pouring
their contents into the creek and river,
whence they passed off rapidly. On Satur-
day evening the river commenced rising, and
in two or three hours rose eight or ten feet,
when, at about nine O'Clock, the ice broke.
An immense mass of ice began moving in
the river, and the high water lifted 1t up on
the land above the Virginia bridge, a hun
dred yards away from the bank. A portion
OF the tresseling at the east end OF Potomac
wharf was carried away, the side of a canal
boat lying al YOung's boatyard was stove in,
and the stern-post of a new boat broken. Sud-
denly the ice stopped. 1t had been brought
up by the Virginia bridge, a substantial stone
pier. The current soon changed towards the
Virginia side and the ice commenced going
OFF tnat way, and will probably all pass
away without doing any further damage
The tresseling was washed from under a
bridge at Georges creek mines, on the Cum
berland and Pennsylvania railroad, on Sat
urday evening"

PENNSYLVANIA COAL TRADE.-The an
thracite coal production continues light, that
for the week ending on the 9Th inst. amount
ing TO only 1I5, 212 tons, and for the year TO
same date TO 1852, l75 tons, against 1888 96I
to corresponding time last year. being de-
crease of 3S6,1S6 tons. The bituminous tom
nags for the week was 39703 tons, and for the
year 510695 tons, against $40, 166 tons to cor
responding time last year. The total of both
kinds of coal for the week is 21i,91 tons, and
for the year 2,662, $40 tons, against sos, l2l
tons tn same time in 1874, being decrease of
1921 tons. Those who live by producing
and Transporting hard coal should take care
that the market they are now creating for
bltuminous coal, by not producing anthra-
cite, does not continue, after the necessary
preparations are made for using the softer
coal, longer than is desired or than is now
contemplated. AS yet there is no approach
TO compromise between the operators aud
the miners as to wages, though we have all
the time felt assured that such compromise
would follow short supply of coal i'm the
market, and that mining would then be re-
summed at about last years wages. We still
hope that we shall not be mistaken in this
conclusion.-Ittila. LeigeT, 18th
