Death Of Gen. j. y. Webster,

Gen. J. D. Webster, collector Of inter.
nal revenue, died on tho morning Of the
18th inst, at the Palmer House, Chicago,
of pneumonia. His illness was Of but one
weeks duration and almost painless, but
undoubtedly its fatal result may be traced
to the mental wear and tear he had been
subjected to for the last six months. ..
Gen. Webster Was born At Hampton,
n. H., Aug. Is, 1911. In 1885 he became
member Of the United States corps Of
civil engineers, by appointment Of General
Cass, and in 1888 was appointed TO the en-.
ginccr corps, in which he was emplo, ed
for many years at coast and harbor sur.
veys Of tho great lakes. In 1854 he re-
signed and took up his residence at
Chicago. On tho breaking out Of tho
war in 1861 he Was appointed : paynas-
ter, but was soon made chief Of engineers
At Cairo and superintsnded the works
there. In 1862 he was commissioned
Colonel Of the First Illinois light artillery
and participated in the: battles Of Bel.
mont, Forts Henry and Donaldson, and
Shiloh, gaining great distinction by his
services in tho latter. = At this
time he was chief of staff
and chief Of engineers under Gen. Grant.
Subsequently he Was Shsrman's chief Of
staff, and when finally mustered out
ranked IS Brigadier General and had
been breveted Major General Of volun-
teers. 49,. ..zEz=..'.s,,
Socially he was pleasant gentleman.
In public life, and he occupied Ill his life
some portion Of trust. and in al business
relations, he was strictly honest. +.*-~ ''z,-

ST. PAUL, March 81.
The severe storm of wind and snow of the
past three days has intertered seriously with
transactiens in the produce market. Receipts
have IN delayed, and the demand is very
much reduced, because people preferred to
stay in doors, for the most part, to tramping
through the snow. There arc very lew
changes Of importance to he noted in quota.
tons of leading commodities. The most in
terssting feature to many shippers to this
market Is sharp advance in the selling price
Of eggs, which are now held by commission
men firmly At l4@l6c. Oats and corn were
quiet, during the "blizzard," without i'm
portant transactions or changes Of quotations.
Turkeys, fresh stock, have sold At 12xc, and
chickens At the same price, l2xo. But few
desirable lots of turkeys aud chickens are a.
riving. Dressed beef is in good demand At
6xc for choice qualities, and s06Xc for fair to

selling At >22.to0o22.76 cash; small lots at

(Washington Special, l6th.1
A very significant feature of the House

4 Dea1.L0ek - the West Poaas mn.
(Washington Special, 16th.1
A very significant feature of the House
proceedings was the action Of the Appro-
pristion Committee respecting tho Sen.
ats amendments to the West Point bill.
The House non.concurred in oil the TWEEN.
ty.seven Senats amendments, but declined
to ask for = aconference committee. This
seems to indicate that the House will re.
fuse to recede from it's position on the
bill, and will seek to force tho Senate to
reoohs:der it, amendments. A Senator
who took : prominent part in the debate
upon this bill remarked, upon hearing Of
the action Of the House, They will find
that we have 6 much grit Is they have. =
The two Houses, BY the action, are thus
definitely at lo6xsrheads on tho bill. The
positions ofstho two Houses are radically
sntagoni.tic. The Senate inserted in the
bill most OF the provisions which the
House, with much flourish of .trampets,
struck from tho estimates. The bill is
practically in the same condition tha: it
Vas before. any action Was had upon it.
The House has given its challenge to the
Senate. The latter does not seem dis.
posed to surrtnder any thing. .~

hurrying to that region to search for

WASHINGTON, March l5.--Moveda 4 good
deal BY the untoward result in New
Hampshire, the Democratic caucus, after
three hours Of wrangling, came to . vote
on the pending propositions, and accepted
tho Payne bill by 1 vote Of 81 to 40. This
proposition is Is follows:
l. A repeal Of the present resumption
act.
2. The establishment of a sinking fund,
this sinking fund 20 be used for ultimate
resumption without contraction of tho
present volume of paper currency.
3. No interference with tho national
banking system, as it exists, with pro-
vision, however: prohibiting renewal Of
the charters Of banks when they expire.
These charters run out in the period bo.
tween 1881 and 1890.
NUMBER OF PROPOSITIONS
were offered, Saylor and Holman making
the most motions. Finally, the caucus
proceeded to vote On Payne's bill, the re-.
suit being 81 TO 40, showing but light
attendance at the CAUCUS. The bill was
supported in strong speeches by Randall,
Gordon, White, House, Hooker, Lynde,
Morrison, Payne, White of Illinois, Thur.
man, Terry, and Buckner Of Missouri.
Eden Of Illinois, favored = vote in, tho
House on the majority and minority re.
port separately,in order that every mem.
ber might be enabled to put himself on
record. Bcebe Of New York did not want
any minority report. More speeches were
made on all sides than 1T any previous
caucus. Holman gave notice
AFTER THE FINAL VOTE
that he would on Monday next move to
suspend the rules and move the repeal ol
the resumption act without any condition
whatever. His followers arc not at oil
inclined to be harmonious now, and the
wransle will probably be all gone over
again in the House.
