MAPEsON's MURDER.

Further Particulars of the Perpetrators In
the Skull-Crackins In Winnebago City.
The slaughter of Robert Mapeson, of
Winnebago City, heretofore mentioned,
seems to have been one of more than ordi-
nary atrocity. The undoubted object of
the assassins was plumber, as the murdered
man was supposed to have considerable
money in his house. Accordingly, the
would-be thieves provided themselves with
miniature baseball club loaded well at the
end with lead. Thus armed, they effected
an entrance into the house, but we're par
tally frustrated in the first purpose
of robbery by the wakefulness Of
Mrs. Mapeson. This fact saved her hus-
bands money, but it did not save her hus-
bands life, whose skull was cracked with the
club, and death ensued.
The man first arrested for the crime was

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The caucus of
Republican Senators yesterday, resulted in
no formal action. It appears, from the
views expressed by Senators, that while they
concede that the speech of Senator Howe.
delivered week ago, is mainly just in its
structures on the course of the administra-
ton, they can see no propriety in recalling
past events il I9uaakiana and elsewhere, and
making direct issue with the President,
and they are also agreed that the so-called
civil service reform is deception.
They therefore think that the Repub-
icans should strive to strengthen
their party, irrespective of what the Presi-
dent may say or do, and they point to the
late election in New Hampshire to show that
it resulted in favor of the Republicans, apart
from any consideration connect d with the
national administration. They are of opin-
ion that it would be better to approve of such
measures as they can in the future, rather
than oppose the President in his Southern
Cancellation policy, and other measures
which do not meet with Republican approval.
Besides to make an open issue with the
President, would benefit the Democrat party,
to the injury of the Republican party. They
say they can do nothing, no matter
what independent course the Presi-
dent may think proper to pursue.
At the same time they do not impute dishon
esty of purpose to the President, and see
some things in his administration to APP
prove, but they doubt the wisdom of much
of his so-called policy. AS committee of
Senators appointed by caucus HERETOFORE,
called on the President with regard to ap-
pointments, &C., and failed to come to an
understanding, it is considered useless again
to approach him in similar way, as the
President acts Independently Of Sena.
torial advice or confidence. It is known
that the President on that occasion regard
ed the call as mere personal matter, and
as of no public interest, and therefore he
was not disturbed. Under all the circum.
stances the Republican Senators do no.
think it wise to take an active part agains
the President, but to do the most they car
for the interests of their party, remembering
that the President has three more years K
| serve.

CINCINNATI, O., March 31--The mystery
of ex- Congressman Vance's disappearance is
still unexplained. The theory is gaining
credence that he has neither been murdered
nor committed suicide, but has fled to escape
some real or fancied trouble. Col.
Vance was chairman of the public
printing committee in the last Congress and
conducted the investigation of the govern
ment printing Office. It has been charged
that the examination was itself of such a
nature as to need an overhauling. The
records at Washington show that a
CONSIDERABLE SUM OF MONEY
was paid to one Vance, of Galipolis, a rela-
tive, for services as an expert printer. the
relative being miller by occupation and
never having seen the inside of printing
Office. This fact was developed recently by
the investigation that is now in progress in
Washington, and there are those who believe
that there was

CHICAGO, March 31.-The Times London
special says: Advices received here by the
government are that Russia is accepting the
fact that further negotiations with England
are useless and is applying herself to two
objects. One is to completely isolate Eng
land from all other European powers, and
the other to hasten the preparations for the
EXPECTED COLLISION.
All exposed points on the Black Sea are be-
ing put in condition of defence. Batteries
are being erected and the concentration of
troops has received new impetus in every
direction. AS much activity is being displayed
as during the height of the campaign against
the Turks. There is reason to believe that
movements are being perfected for the
seizure, when the proper moment arrives, of
commanding position on the Bosphorus, at
the eastern end of the Little Balkans, at
Rumeli KAYAK, where the channel is very
narrow, and commanded by heavy works on
both sides.

the matter of calling out the reserves has to
be passed on by parliament the summons is
already out, and men liable for duty are be-
ing ordered to report at the various head
quarters. Ships for the transportation
of troops are being collected at Portsmouth,
and government agents are making contracts
for transport services at all principal sea-
ports. All government orders and contracts
for supplies are now marked urgent. Mate
rails for trench railways are being put on
shipboard in large quantities at Woolwicb.
Everywhere there is feverish haste in all
these preparations. Volunteers in large
numbers are coming forward and being ac-
copied to fill out the first army corps. Some
doubt prevails as to the
ATTITUDE OF TURKEY,
in case of hostilities between England and
Russia. No effort has been spared by

successful. The Russians are making gi-
gantic efforts to restrain the Turks, and are
