Republican Senatorial Caucus.
The Republican Senators held a long
caucus this morning on the general sub
ject of the appropriation bifis. NJ for
NAL action was taken, but from the
present tenor of opinions interchanged
by a large number Of those in attend
ance, it seems probable that the river

dropped or rejected by the Senate, and
that an agreement will be reached con
corning other bills during the present
week.

The Mississippi Investigation.
Senator Boutwell, has ready his report
upon the investigation of political af-

that the people of Mississippi, as indica-
ted by facts gathered from persons Of
all classes of society, and political
classes, are lapsing into a condition of
society alarming to contemplate, and
that it is beyond the ken of human
foresight to tell where it will end. Mr..
Boutwell,, in conversation, says the
Hamburg affair is but an atom compar-
ed with the atrocities committed in
Mississippi, and which never came UNI
der the eye of public scrutiny. He
says in the present condition of things
there is no chance Of carrying Mississ-
ippi, though the State is largely Re-
rnh1ican.

mittee of the Senate, insisted could be
dispensed with at this time without Sc
riously Gripping the public service.

PENNSYLVANIA.
A Horrible Catastrophe.

Il Horrible Catastrophe.
Philadelphia, July ga fire broke
out in the sacking Dol of James No
lan's shoddy mill to-day. Before it
could be checked the whole building
was in flames. Not many people were
in the building at the time, and those
who were in the lower part had no diff
Guilty in escaping, but before those in
the upper part of the building knew of
their danger the whole lower story was
ablaze. Several women were up stairs
and started down, but were met by the
flames in the second story. Several of
them succeeding in getting through a
window in the rear of the second story,
thus escaping. Three, however, named
Ellen Heber, Annie Patterson and Ma
RE Hoevler, were driven back from the
window by the fire and obliged to re-
treat up stairs again. All efforts to res
cue them were in vain, and they remain
ed, screaming for help, till they were
all dreadfully burned. At last Ellen
Heber and Anna Paterson jumped from
the window and were instantly killed
by striking the pavement. 1t is proba-
BILE that had they survived the fall their
burns would have killed them. Marie
Hoevler was fortunate enough to get
hold of a rope by which she slid to the
ground. She is frightfully burned, the
skin having come off her body almost
entirely. She was removed to a hospi-
tai, but her recovery is very doubtful.
Parties who knew the position Of the
three women piled bales Of goods on
the pavement for them to jump on, but
other parties, not knowing the object of
piling the bales there, removed them
and the women fell on the bare pave
ment. The mill was entirely destroyed,
with the stock and machinery. The
loss is heavy.
Discharged from Bankruptcy.
Messrs. Jay Cooke & Co. were this
morning discharged from bankruptcy
by Judge Cadwalader, of the U. S. Dis
trict Court, no objections having been
made to the petition filed sometime ago.
Entertaining Foreign Boatmen.
a meeting of citizens was held in the
| Mayors office to-day to devise means
for entertaining foreign crews of oars
men visiting the city to participate in
the regatta. A committee was appoint
ed with Hon. j. W. Forney as chair
man, to obtain subscriptions to meet
the expenses Of entertainment, and $500
was subscribed OF the spot.

Mexican, a notorious desperate, and

southwest of La Monte, where resides

the house. Mrs. Harris came to the
door, and while talking, a gun in the
hands of I. M. Ames was accidentally
discharged, killing Mrs. Harris instant
ly. Mexican escaped in a cornfield,

FOREIGN.


London, July 26.-The Telegraph
publishes dispatches to-day from STAN
ley, from whom five letters have just
been received. One letter bears date of
July Doth, 1875, and was written at
Mayhyga Island, Lake Victoria-N iyan-
"a, and describes the voyage from King
Mitesa's territory at the northern end
of Lake Victorian iyanza. In this voy-
age Stanley and party narrowly escaped
massacre by savages and treacherOus
natives of Bumbych. The natives were
beaten off after a severe fight, and the
party arrived safely at camp after en-
countering heavy storms.
The second letter was written from
Dumoinuganda, dated August 10th,
1875. Here the explorer established a
camp on the main land, within access
of the Lake from Mayhyga. Stanley
made an expedition across the lake to
Ukkereone Island, at its southern ex-
tremity, from whence he recrossed the
lake again toward the region of Ugunda.
While the expedition was being trans
ported in canoes during the return voy-
age, Stanley inflicted severe punishment
or the t~reacherous savages of Bumbych
for the attack made upon his expedition,
mentioned in The first letter.
The letters contain particulars of the
highest geographical and chronological
value of the heretofore unknown regions.
Lying between lakes Victoria and Al
bert Niyanza is a remarkable mountain,
Gambargara, which Stanley thoroughly
explored, and discovered among its
high uplands a pale face tribe, forming
a different race of people from the black
skinned deniZenS of the plains. Stanley
is amply supplied with men and means
problem still left open, by his undaun-
ted courage and splendid gifts as a
traveller.

DARING HIGHWAY RoDnERY.-JasoD
Massear arrived in this city yesterday
afternoon from Laporte, Indiana, en-
route for Baltimore. As he had severai
hours to wait here he thought he I w1nie
take a look about the Nail City. Whiie
he was sitting near Hubbard's saw mill
al the north end Of the Main street bridge
three strange men came up and entered
INTO conversation with him. After
while one OF his new acquaintance COM
planned Of hunger, upon which Jaeop
volunteered to pay for the oysters Tor the
party. This was Of course agreeable 70
all, and they forthwith proceeded 10
saloon:a dined sumptuously at the In
diana mans expense. After this one OF
The party suggested walk up town, and
thew went TO that paradise Of loafers, the
Second ward market house. Here one Of
Jacob's new friends suddenly discovered
that he was out Of tobacco, and as there
wasn't a crumb Of the weed in the
crowd Jacob drew forth his pocket book
with the intention Of donating ten cents
for the purchase Of plug, when one Of
the party suddenly snatched the book
from his hands. The three then took to
their heels, with Jacob in chase minus
his wealth, The thieves were pursued
down Market alley to the river, where
the pursuer lost sight Of them. The
rocket book contained $500 draft, about
Sl3 in money and railroad ticket TO
baltimore. The draft Messear had re-
ceiyed from D. P. CLOSER, in payment for
work done upon his farm at Laporte, In
diana. Messear went to the police head
quarters and described the robbers,
and at II o'clock last night their names
were known and there was a strong
probability Of their early capture.

Mr.. Mckee Rankin, an actor Of reputa!.I,
ton, and a strong dramatic company,yill
tonight produce in the Opera House the

Blanchard, in their original roles "Jac-
ques" and "Henriette," as performed by

diences. A matinee will be given on
Wednesday evening for the accommoda-

A REPRESENTATIVE TRAMP.-He was
one Of those regular old soakers who
have assisted in raising "tramping" to
the dignity Of a profession, and he march
ed into the City Sergeant's office
with all the dignity Of man who spent
his time in paying taxes and cutting off
cupons. With full bass voice he saluted
Sergeant Henry, thus: ~ want to board
with you, sir; | am anxious to stay with
you couple Of weeks"
an what capacityT asked the officer.
"DO you expect to ingratiate yourself in
to the bosom Of my family and find n
homeP
The battered veteran drew himself up
to his full height and thundered: "Do l
look like man who would do thing OF
that kind? No, sir! All l want is a
chance to Join the tramp brigade, and to
find shelter once more over my yenera-
bic head. Got any terbaccer?"
The old man was told that he might
find shelter and food at the workhouse,
which caused him to elevate his nose
high in the air. With look Of disgust
on his face he took a reproachful look at
the officer, and remarked: "See here,
what kind Of a man do you take me for ?
What kind Of game are you giving me
FDo you think l want any workhouse in
mine! No, sir; not il I know myself.
I've got to work il go there, and that's
what ] can't and won't do! l haven't
done stroke OF work in seven years, and
what's more l amt agoin' 10 in seven
more. It's darned cheap town that
can't give a man little soup without
making him break stone for it" And
with unutterable disgust on every feature
he stalked out OF the building and away.
