bills with the understanding that all general
debate be limited to two hours and a half.
The committee was addressed by Mr.. Scales of
North Carolina in support of the bill and in
advocacy of the transfer of the Indian Bureau
from the Interior to the War Department.
Mr.. Yates of North Carolina spoke in de
fence of the Democratic party against attacks
of the Republican members of the House, and
said they (the Repu5licans) considered dsloy-
atty to the Republican party dislOSalty to the
government. He denied it and said that be-
cause the southern men in the House could not
be bought over by the Republican party they
were tainted as being rebels, while these who
were bought over, such as Gov. Holden and
General Longstreet, were considered as pa
triots, and be believed were thought more of
than those Union soldiers who belonged to the
Democratic party.
He said that Grantism in the South had bid
fair at one time to change the character of the
government as there was not Republican in
the South who would not vote to make Grant
king. His speech elected much merriment in
all parts Of the House.

THE EMMA MINE.
Continuation OF Ex-senator Stewards
Testimony

Continuation OF Ex-senator Stewards
Testimony.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-Ex-Senator Stew
at resumed his testimony to-day, saying that
on his return from Paris to London he met
Schenck, who stated to him that he had con-
cluded to become director in the Emma Mine
Company. He did not think there was any
improperly in doing so, for the reason that at
that time the Minister of Portugal, one of the
Oldest and most respected diplomats, was pres
ident of tramway company, and also vender
of stocks. Witness said he had reason to be-
lieve that Schepck knew, before he became a
director, that Albert Grant was to receive
91O0, 900 for being promoter of the scheme.
The character of Grant was obtained from
PnlestOn, who said Grant was man of wealth,
efficient and successful in everything he under
took. 1t was not known how Grants private
character was regarded by the people of Lon
don.
Witness was asked if he, Parke and Grant
had an understanding prior to settlement day
that the stock should be bought in open mar
ket with view Of sustaining prices. Witness
answered yes, with the explanation that it was
the understanding that the bears undertook to
blackball the stock and sell short when they
really had no stock, for the purpose of destroy
ing the stock. Grant was to manage and take
care of the stock, which he did, according to
the practice of the stock exchange. More than
one-half OF the stock was then thrown on the
market.
Park paid Lyon $4,000 in addition to the
$4,000 in June, 1872, and told Stewart that it
must come from his share. Lyons receipt was
produced. He (Stewart) and Hillyer were to
get 100000 and he became anxious about it.
Park gave him a check for $4,000 for Hllyer
and bought Mrs. Stewart 500 900 worth of Can
ada Southern and Utah Central bonds. He
went to Utah and remained year attending to
the interests of the company, fighting law suits
and the conspiracy. The bonds to his wife and
the cash paid from time to time with check
for $4,000 to 1000 in the settlement was, as
near as he could get at, about $270000.
Witness showed kilograms dated in February
and March and threatening letter from Lyon
dated March 5. 1876 which he gave as original
information to him of Lyons Intentions which
resulted in suit in New York against Baxter,
Park and Stewart by the Emma Mine Co. of
of London to recover the $4,000 purchase
money.
Stewart presented large number of letters,
which were placed on file. They were from
Lyon to Thomas Almy, Salt Lake, and some of
them relate to the proceedings of Lyon to Sc
cure the removal of Judge Mexican. Lyon
explains his plans for making raid on the
Judges and informs Almy that if he can get
the proper evidence he will have them removed
and that he had employed Noah Davis of New
York and Senators Conkling and Stewart and
that he could have Colonel Patrick removed if
he daSjrad

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
A Powder Mill Blown Up.
Four MTen II Tiled asid Six wounded

New YORK, March % A terrible accident,
resulting in the loss of life and destruction of
property, occurred at Washingtonville, in the
northern suburbs of this city, this afternoon.
At o'clock 400 pounds of Jupiter powder in
the mandatory of the Bronx Mill Company
dozen others The mill was blown into frag-
ments and the men in it so mutilated that
their bodies were masses of shreds Other
buildings thousand feet from the mill were
damaged The names of the killed are Jscob
Shinar, Charles Venthem, Michael Farrell
and Jacob Snyder. A lad named Delhi was go
badly injured that be cannot live. Among the
six who were wounded were also VIM. West
fell and Thomas Westfell.
AS an illustration of the force of its explosive
power it may be stated that pieces of the mill
which was blown up to-day were carried 600
feet from the mill. Fortunately business was
dull and only about one quarter of the usual
number of hands were at work when the acci-
dent occurted, or the loss of life would have
been much greater.
The detonation startled the men in the vicin-
ity, and they ran to the spot and met one man
who bad nothing on but scraps of clothing.
His body was mass of scorched flesh. He
had jumped through the window and into the
water just before the heavy explosion. just
behind was another man running homeward
with one leg burned and bare. His head and
hands were black as Goals and his eyes were
nearly burned out. Still another was found
lying helpless near the main building. He
said, 'sOh, kill me! kill me!' They removed
him to house near by, and a physician was
called. The man died at o'clock.
A search was made for the boy Delhi in the
rear of the main building. black burned
hand stuck out of the water, and the men took
hold of it, drawing ashore the body of young
Delhi He must have been thrown fifty feet
into the air and nearly seventy from the place
where he was at work. One other workman,
Charles Ventheim, was to be accounted for, and
the party searched the ruins of the main
building, the river and the deep hole in the
ground where the packing house had stood.
On the track of the New Haven Railroad
over 800 feet from the building they found the
skull, and in other places small pieces of bone
and burnt flesh. The body of Delhi with one
leg and foot missing was taken TO his parents
house. A house half mile from the scene of
the explosion had panes of glass broken by the
shock. The conclusion was felt as far east as
New Rochelle and south as far as Westchester

The Syracuse Convention.
Comments of the New York Press.

Comments of the New York Press.
NEW YORK, March 23.-The action of the
Syracuse convention is varously commented
on.
The Herald thinks if Conkling goes into the
Cincinnati convention with the support Of
Grant, he will be the national nominee, and
even If without GRANTS support, Conklng will
have the power to name the next presidential
candidate The adherence of New York to
Conklng, the Herald considers right and says
the convention did we'll not to be driven into
cowardly position by the political assassins who
followed Curtis.
The World says the contrivers of the alliance
of the Republicans and canal ring which was
beaten by the Democrats last fall, were victor
ious yesterday at Syracuse over the honest men
of the Republican party.
The Tribune says every well-informed poll
tician knows that Roscoe Conkling is not the
choice for the Presidency of a majority, or
even of large minority of the Republican
voters of New York. He is not the real choice
of the very Office holders in this city who
secured their places at his hands, and hold
them at his mercy. In most of the other
States, he has no more strength than Orville
Grant. The delegates selected to go to Cincin-
natl are machine politicians pledged to COnk-
ling. The Tribune wants to know what the
Union league, George w. Curtis, Gov. Morgan
and the editors who applauded the impudent
resolutions of the Union League Clab, are 60
ing to do about it?
The Times says the thick and thin support
ers of Senator ConkIing are entitled to all the
comfort they can extract from yesterdays vic.
tory, if such he can be called. "As we look at
the matter it is victory of very bad omen for
the success of their candidate before the
National Convention. Seventy votes in yester-
days convention would have converted Conk-
ling's majority into minority. and we think
we could find twice seventy who would not have
been in the convention at all but for the con-
IN ha
federal patronage of this state" 1t believes,
however, from the high character of many of
the delegates to Cincinnati, that they will be
guided by much more elevated considerations
than those which swayed the majority in the
convention. They will have time to ascertain
the opinions of their constituencies, and it will
be their own fault if they do not go to Cinci1
natl fully prepared to sustain policy and
candidate of vigorous reform, on VIII ich alone
the party can confidently expect 10 carry this
state,

A lady correspondent at Washington was
recently caught in the act of attempting to
steal photograph of Mrs. Belknap from the
album of Mrs. Bristow. The correspondent had
been offered 1925 for the photograph by the
managers of one of the New York illustrated
papers.
The patrons Of the diamond field will be
pleased to know that the report that Harry
Wright, the veteran base ball manager, was
dying with consumption, is false He went
South to get rid of severe cold which had set
tied on his lungs, and has now entirely recov
cred and will be home to take charge of the
Boston club soon.
London gossips say that the idea of making
Queen Victoria Empress of India originated
with Princess Beatrice, who wants to be, like
her Russian sister-in-law, "Her Royal and I'M
perial Highness." 1t is said that this would
Eettle troublesome questions of precedence in
favor of the English side of the amiable fami
ly.
The British drills, jeans and sheetngs inn
ported now are all stamped with American
brands and the names of leading American
mills. Respecting the export of cotton goods
to England, the movement continues with con-
siderable success. The number of packages
shipped from New York and Boston since
January amounts to nearly $4,000 packages
against $4,000 packages during the same period
in 1875. 1t is admitted that there is not much
profit in the movement, but it has a tendency
to rid the country of portion of the surplus
cottons, besides giving employment to thou
sands of hands, though at a reduced rate of
wages.
There are two wealthy families in Merrick,
L. l., which have long been at loggerheads over
a fifty cent knife. Marietta Smith had knife
which young man borrowed and gave to Mary
Carman. Marietta going to visit Mary saw the
knife on the mantel, seized it and went home.
A quarrel ensued which the church was called
Sn to pacify. A committee awarded the knife
to Miss Carman on the ground that Miss Smith
should have sued Cor it instead of taken it.
Her father did sue and the two families have
now been at law for three years, disgracing hui
manity with their miserable quarrel over
trife, and bringing discredit on the cause of
religion, of which one or two of them are pro-
fessors. Sucn malevolence of disposition is
worthy of a warmer climate than that of this
country

The Democracy Get Little Comfort from
CatteIIs Testimony.
NEW YORK, March pa special says that
Cattell testified before the House committee
yesterday that he never had anything to do
with Brown & Co. touching 5000, 900 deposited
with Jay Cooke, for which railroad iron was
taken by Secretary Robson as security. Cat
tell testified that no loss would result to the
government in consequence of that transaction.
He was charged with the settlement of that ac-
count, and had already conveyed into the treas
ury 2250, 900 realized from sales of a portion of
the iron. He had still remaining sufficient
iron to realize $4,000 or $3.50, 900 more, and
other collaterals secured to indemnify the gov
eminent would make up the balance of the
$900,000 He said Robson was comparatively
rich man before he was Secretary of the
Navy.

Washington navy yard, testified to knowing
that a sideboard was made for Robson by me-
