Officers Collide.

NEW ORLEANS, January 26.-At 1
o'clock Sheriff Houston, learning that
a deputy marshal had been put in
charge Of the collectors Office, which
was locked and bolted, proceeded to
the main door of the office and there
informed the marshal and deputy col
lector, Tonllnson, that he had writ

whom he had good reasons to believe
were confined in the room, and he de-
sired abundance. This was refused,
whereupon the sheriff, who was &C
companied by two deputies, said that
he would force an entrance. Mr.. Tom
linson then summoned the chief depu-
ty marshal, who proceeded co the door
OF the collectors office and ordered the
sheriff and his assistants, as we'll as
the crowd that had gathered at the
commencement, to disband. The sheriff
refused to leave, saying that he was
determined 10 execute the writ Of the
court 1t any hazard, or be arrested in
the attempt. Sheriff Houston then
slightly advancing, Deputy Marshal
Wurzburger laid hands upon him and

House Of REPRESENTATIVES,.

WASHINGTON, May lin the House. Mr..
Hamilton, from the committee on foreign
affairs reported bill in the matter of the
to enter into further convention with Yene-
zuela IN case that government should desire a
rehearing of any of the cases decided by the
commission heretofore organized. Printed and
recommitted.
The following bills were passed: To restore
to the market certain lands to Utah; for the
relief of settlers public lands; providing
that any person who shall plant and maintain
for eight years ten acres of timber land shall
be entitled to patent for such quarter section:
permitting Nebraska to cede certain territory
to Missouri providing for the sale Of timber
lands IN California, Oregon, Washington terri
tory, Nevada and Colorado in quantities not eX-
ceeding 160 acres to any one citizen, at the
minimum price Of $3.50 per acre, and making
it unlawful to cut any timber on public lands
MIR. Wright, from the committee on public
lands, reported bill providing for a loan of
hive hundred dollars to every person who shall
settle on the public lands under homestead law,
lars has been expended. The bill was reported
without recommendation, and referred to the
committee Of the whole.
Mr.. Reagan called up the bill to regulate
Interstate transportation by railroads, and to
prohibit unjust discrimination by common
carriers.
Mr.. Bragg made a speech against the bill not as
being what it purports to be-a bill to restrict
railroad monopolies-but bill in the interest
of railroads and of the great railroad kings as
shown by the fact that the Pennsylvania legis-
lature-Tom Scotts legislature-had instruct
ed the representatives of that State to support
1T. The bill was an absolute prohibition
against competition. 1t protected one great
trunk line from another, Scott from Garrett,
and both from Vanderbilt, and not beine
obliged to fight each other, they would Join in
consuming all that the grasshoppers had left to
the farmers of the West.
Mr.. Phillips opposed the BILL on the ground
that its practical effect would be to make it
impossible for railroads to ship freight over
great continuous lines, and that it would then
cripple the industries of the country.
MIR. Potter also opposed the bill and 1t was
then read by sections.
A long debate followed, in which the prin-
cipal objection expressed against the bill was
that its meaning was buried away in such a
mass OF verbiage to make it almost anintel-
igible. The House finally proceeded to vote
on the amendments.
MIR. Cannon offered an amendment prohibit
ing pooling arrangements of railroad COM
panies. Agreed to.
Without disposing of the bill on which, how
ever, the previous question was seconded SO as
to keep it before the House, an adjournment
took place.

Some Theories Relative to the Disaster.

list. Louis Republican.
MI. George I. Smith, of Bennington, ILL.,,
formerly connected with the Minneapolis
mills, has been interviewed by Chicago
Times reporter with this brief but signal re-
suit.
''Mr. Smith was for one year superintendent
OF mill b. He says that in mill A ninety puri-
fers emptied their streams of dust and gas
into two connected rooms without ventilation.
so that the rooms were always filled with gas
as inhammable and dangerous as dynamite.
Mill B. was in the same condition as the other
mills. When safety is observed the reception
rooms of the purifyers are ventilated at the
top, thus being always relieved Of gas Mr..
Smith says that he warned the mill owners of
their danger, and has since predicted the dis
aster which has befallen them
The explosive character of the gas or dust,
or both, thus generated, is verified by the ex-
perience of prominent gentleman of St..
Louis. One day when boy he started on
rat-hunt in the upper regions of his fathers
mill. carrying candle to assist his search.
Coming to a dark hole partially or wholly
shut off from the adjoining rooms, he thrust
in the candle to reveal the rats and was sa-
luted by an explosion which destroyed all
taste for further Investigations. Fortunate
~ no serious damage was done, but the
youth received valuable lesson which he
never forgot.
We presume the tremendous disaster at
Minneapolis will receive more official atten-
ton than is embodied in an ordinary coro-
ner's inquest. It should be made the subject
Of elaborate scientific inquiry, not only on
account of the destruction of life and prop
erty it involved, but for the sake of other
lives and property exposed to similar danger.
The first question to be answered is, .sWas
the explosion caused by the ignition of the
gas or dust in the rooms mentioned by Mr..
Smith,? The second question is, IF the
explosion was SO produced, what pre-
cautions are necessary to prevent such ac-
cidents?' Without doubling Mr.. Smiths
word at all-if he is correctly reported-it
seems almost Incredible that mills consider
ed among the very finest in the world should
have had no ventilation, whatever, in the
very places where the necessity of ventilation
would suggest itself to the mind of child.
The statement we have quoted deserves the
careful examination of those appointed to
investigate the Minneapolis calamity. The
milling business employs such large por-
ton of the industry and the capital Of the
country, that the inquiry we urge may be re-
garded as of national importance. If it is
considered mere local affair in which no.
body but the immediate sufferers are inter
ested, it will be conducted accordingly, and
the public will be deprived of invaluable in
formation. We trust the authorities of Min
neapolis appreciate their responsibility in
this matter.
