SENATOR CHAFFEE ayshe is sure of
votes enough in the Senate to pass the
Union Pacific railroad bill against Jay
Gould. Gould says heis ready to put up
one million dollars to substantiate his
good intentions toward the government
in paying for the railroad. Washing
ton is full of spectators on both the
Union Pacific and the silver bill. Many
parties have bought one million of gold
apiece in New York on the present low
margin, expecting it to be affected by
silver reconciliation.

GEN. SIBERIAN has issued a general

GEN. SHERMAN has issued general
order, in which he says the President
is much concerned to find before him
for action the proceedings Of courts
martial In several cases where officers
have been tried for violation of the
3Sth article of war, which provides
that any officer found drunk on duty
shall be dismissed the service. The
President desires it made known to the
army that he cannot be led to under
rate the magnitude of the evil of which
the crime alluded to is likely to pro-
dnce in the public service. No persons
addicted to it can expect to be entrust-
ed with any responsible duty, and a
person who cannot be trusted had bet
ter not be continued in office. 1t must,
therefore, be understood that any
clemency which may have been hereto
fore extended by way Of mitigation or
communication Of sentence, cannot here
after be relied on as basis of hope for
like favorable action after this. A
rigorous execution of the sentences i'm
posed in due course by courts-martial
may be expected.

Spies in th= Vatican-A Fearful Disease
in Rome.
Rome, Nov. 20, ls77.-Cardinal
Simeoni, secretary of state, is summon
ing all the possumus cardinals to sup
port him in his trial for n foreign Pope
and the old conciliatory policy.
The Pope's favorite doctor has been
dismissed. 1t is supposed he has been
giving information to the italian gov
ernment.
The cardinals hope Of keeping tile
death of the Pope secret fortwenty-four
hours will fail, because such decided
arrangements have been made that the
goverE.nent must know of his demise
Immediately after it occurs.
The black smallpox is prevailing with
such virulence in the Vatican and is
so frightful in its character, that it
may frighten many of the cardinals and
prevent their attendance at the Con-
clave.

MISSOURI.


st. Louis, Nov. 2o.-Sometime last
summer, ex-Attorney General Williams
brought suit against William Mckee of
this city, for the balance of sum of
money alleged to be due him for SER
vices in procuring pardon for Mr.. Nc
Kee. A demurrer was filed by the de-
fendant's counsel, and Judge Wickham,
of the circuit court, to-day sustained
it, using the following language: Con-
tracts of the nature of those set out in
the petition are illegal, as they tend to
encourage the use of improper means
to accomplish the object, and tend to
interfere with the proper exercise of the
pardoning power; and are, therefore,
against public policy.

COLORADO.

Terrible Fire in the Terrible Silver Mine.
Georgetown, Nov. 20.-Last Satur-
day evening fire broke out in the Ter
rible mine, three miles from George
town. 1t started in the shaft that holds
the smoke stack, burning the cribbing
of this, and extended to the dry tim
bers in levels l, 2 and B, worked out
some years since. The burning
of these timbers or stulls per-
mitted the debris to fall into the shaft,
injuring the machinery of the mine,
which is located at the bottom of the
shaft and where it intersects the tun-
mel level, now known as No. 4. The
Georgetown firemen were present dur
ing the twenty-four hours of danger,
and did all in their power to limit the
damage. The fire was gotten under
control after burning two levels. The
loss will be 1000, principally owing
to loss of time in getting the mine in
condition for work.

New York. Nov. 20.-1n the United
States Circuit Court Mr. E. w. Slough
ton, as counsel for the Emma Silver
Mining Company, moved before Judge
Wallace for new trial in the suit of
the Emma Mine against Trenor W.
Park, General Baxter and others, to re-
cover S5,0O0,000, the previous trial, as
will be remembered, having resulted in
a verdict for the defendants. The
present motion was founded on the eX-
ceptions taken at the trial, and that the
charge to the jury was in favor of the
defendants. Mr.. Stoughton had not
concluded his argument yesterday, and
it will be continued.

museum building was so badly injured
that it will have to be entirely rebuilt.
No lives were lost, although Stone the
proprietor, and another inmate made
a narrow escape.
Quite number of stuffed animals,
wax figures and curiosities in the mu-
scum were injured, but the live animals,
consisting of an anaconda, monkey,
white bear and few others, escaped
unhurt. The accident was caused by
the miscalculation of some workmen
who were tearing down the wall the
wrong way. The damage will aggre-
gate several thousand dollars.

A MAMMOTH NINE

Discovered on the South Pacific Coast.
Panama, Nov. 10.-According to
letters received in Valparaiso there has
been a grand discovery made at a place
a few leagues from Arequipa. The
discovery consists of rich vein of gold
and silver ores; said vein is some 10
petres in length, and eight broader
than any vein of metal discovered in
the world, and according to assays
made in Copaibo of samples remitted
there some reached fifty ounces. Sew
enty-one quintals of ore sold in Arequi-
pa are said to have produced 10000

A New Railroad Enterprise.

Denver, Nov. 20.-Another railroad
is now proposed, this time in the ex-
treme southwestern portion of the State,
and as it would seem at this time has
no intent upon making connection with
any existing line. 1t is to be called the
Animas Valley Railroad Company, and
articles of incorporation were yesterday
filed in the office of Secretary Clark, by
David II. Moffat, Jr., Alfred Sayre,
Emery NJ. Hamilton. George Innis
and T. Martin Trippe. The pro-
posed road will commence at point
at or near Animas Forks, in San
Juan county, and running thence IN
southern direction along the Animas
river by the most practicable route
distance of five miles to Eureka; thence
in southwesterly direction along the
river the most practicable route dis
tance of five miles, to Howardsville;
thence again in southerly direction
still along the river another distance of
five miles, to Silverton; thence in
northwesterly direction along the Las
Animas river distance of thirty-six
and one-half miles to the town of El-
bert in La Plata county; thence again
along the river eight and one-half miles
to point on Las Animas river, where
the terminus shall be; the whole length
of the lire being sixty miles.
The company also asks the right to
construct branch lines. One of these
is to commence at Howardsville, run
ming up Cunningham gulch a distance
of four miles. Another commencing at
Silverton and running up Cement creek
eight miles; and another running from
Silverton up Mineral creek seven miles.
The capital stock is placed at S400.-
900, divided up into 1000 shares of
800 each.
There are five trustees: Geo. Innis,
Emery NJ. Hamilton, David II. Moffat,
Jr., Alfred Sayre and T. Martin Trippe.
Mr.. Innis, who resides in New York,
is the prime mover in the matter, and
it is understood that, as he is extern
sively engaged in mining in the section
through which the road will pass. it is
to be constructed principally for the
development of the mines. Mr.. Ham,
ilton, his agent and attorney, is now in
Denver, experimenting the preliminary
arrangements.

The Fall of Kars Alarms England.


London, Nov. 20.--Leading Turco-
phile journals speak of the fall of Kars
as the most serious catastrophe Of the
war, and concede that Turkish resist
ance is practically at an end, unless
Mehemet, winter OF chance will prevent
the fall of Plevna.
a public meeting is called to express
sympathy for the Turks in their pres
ent desperate condition.
The terms of peace are subject of
great discussion, no doubt being eX-
pressed as to the desire of Turkey to
make peace in the event of the surren-
der or destruction of Osman's army.
In the peace discussions the attitude of
Germany is creating much anxiety.
1t is thought Russia would be willing
to grant acceptable terms, but the fear
is expressed that Germany may urge
Russia to demand terms which Eng
land could not permit to be accepted.
Much uneasiness is felt here and the
impression prevails among shrewd
financial men and politicians that while
the end of Turkish resistance is at
hand, the settlement of the terms of
peace is full of peril for Europe. Eng
land is more alarmed at Germany than
Russia, not knowing where to secure
allies in case of a rupture with the for
mer. France is not ready for foreign
war, and is greatly embarrassed, of
course, by the magnitude of her domes-
tic difficulties.

THERE is a fair prospect that the
Elections committee will dispose of the
Kellogg and Spofford cases'this week.
The committee held two sessions yes-

vote together on the Kellogg case, al
though it is expected that Patterson
and Conover will vote for the admission
of Butler. The Democrats are anxious
to have Buffers case decided first, so
he can vote for Spofford.

accepted. The ministers will serve
until their successors are appointed.
Republican newspapers comment bit
terly on the Senate's vote last night on
the order of the day proposed by the
Right, regarding it as the commence
ment of serious conflict between the
two Chambers. The Conservative Or
gans consider that the result of yester-
days proceedings leaves the Presidents
position intact, as it places him above
party strifes. They recommend the
government to keepwithin the prescrip-
tions of the Constitution.
