NEW INSTRUCTIONS.

A TELEGRAM TO THE COMMISSION FROM MR..
EyARTs-sEvERAL DAYS MORE WORK NOW RE-
QUIReD.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUSE.I
WAsnINGroN, April 13-The Commission are
wrestling tonight with rather enigmatical cipher
dispatch from Mr.. Evarts in reply to their request
for further instructions and to their report on the
situation teegraphed yesterday. Members are reti-
cent as to the purport of this dispatch They have
locked their doors and decline to admit anybody, in
order to avoid questions 1t is understood that tho
Commission suggested in their dispatch the
presentation of an ultimatum to both par
ties, namely, o consolidated Legislature on
the basis OF the Commissioners returns from
the parishes. The dispatch said this seemed to be
the only plan of adjustment the Nichols party could
be brought TO accept 1t is surmsed that the Evarts
dispatch presents some suggestions not before con-
sidered which the Commission tad difficulty IN
agreeing upon as being practicable.
Yesterday the Commission hoped to finish their
work in time to leave tomorrow night. Now they
have no hope of getting away before the middle OF
next week.
Nichols men say that il the scheme OF the Com
mission is accepted by them it will not be to make
a new Legislature and wipe out all of the action OF
their present body, but only to admit by resolution
all members entitled to seats under the plan, and
then to 90 Oh with the present session. lhis would
require the unSeating of 10 members admitted on
contests. The project is naturally very dlstastciui
TO Gov. Packard, and will only be accepted ~ the
sole possible alternative to UNQUALIFIED surrender.
