MONTGOMERY BLAIR'S RESoLU.
TION.
Its Reported Consideration by Republi.
can Senators.
SENATOR HowE's VIEWS OF PRESIDENT
HAYES.
Investigation of the Freedmcn's Hospi.
tai, etc.

New YORK, April 2. The Herald SAYS 1t wa,
rnmoied in Washington last evening, that the
main topic OF conversation in SATURDAYS caucus
was Montgomery Blairs bill in the Maryland leg
islatare, about the presidency the question being
what course senators, as republicans, had better
pursue, II Blair's BILL by passing both houses Of
Tue legislature should take practical shape.
Rumor adds that the general determination OF
senators was not to oppose any movement having
Tor its object to GUST Hayes, but that nothing was
actually decided upon.
Montgomery Blair is reported to have said last
night that Congress will make the Maryland reso.
iutions effective by pronouncing President Hayes
not entitled to his position, and that the bill VIII ich
has been prepared will soon be offered.
Senator Howe states to the Tribune that he ha
hundreds OF letters from Wisconsin and other
parts of the country, complimenting his speech
against Hayes administration. He says that the
great mistake OF the President is that IN all bis ac-
lions IN regard TO all his measures, he thinks he
has been acting as representative OF the republi
can party. Ii not disabused 10 this idea he will
60 on in the same cours'. in the name of the re-
publican party.
The democrats. he says, are putting bad meas
ures through Congress, and by the aid of Hayes
they become laws. just the same as if that party
were IN the majority and held the nation.
An investigation Of theFreedmen's hospital in
W Washington, by the Senate committee, has devel-
oped the fact that two previous inv atons had
oeen made, and their reports, entirely exculpating
the surgeons and physicians from all charges
whatever, had been made to Secretary Schurz, but
he bad not made them public.
The Tribune says Schuiz was about TO make An
investigation of his own in person, when the Sen
ate investigation began. The report OF the Sem
ate committee Is unanimous in favor of the phy ST.
cians' managing the hospital, as to efficiency,
fidelity and honesty.

HAVANA. April 2. Insurgent General Roloff
was visited to day by the agent Of the Associated
Press. He said he was in the campaign during

ance with the orders of the orders of the Cuban
Camars
The motives of the Camara for making peace
are unk nown to him. He had 1000 persons about
hm-S00 OF them armed-when he capitulated.
The clause in the peace conditions liberating the
slaves in the insurgent ranks, did the greatest
damage TO the instruction, obging the chiefs to
surrender because the negroes refused to fight
longer.
Since the arrival of General Matinee Csmpos
on the islald the Spanish troops have forced The
insui gents to keep constantly moving and after
his srIlvsl no insurgents were shot or executed
During the whole Instruction only abort thirty
deseitcrs from the Spanish ranks came into the

FALL RIVER, April 2. The weavers in Film,
N i'll this morning, followed the example of the
Chsce mill wesvers, and all quit work At noon
The alleged statement that the Tecumseh mil
was making the same kind of goods, even paying
their weavers half a cent more on 9 cut than they
were receiving, proves unfounded, a. the Tecum-
sch and Richard Borden mills are paying Is lis
cents cut, the same as paid by the Flint. The
latter mill have plenty OF yarn on hand and did
not care TO run unless the wesvers worked, conse
quently they shut down this noon and will not
probably start again this week.
The committee appointed by the Cbace mill op
erstives. met the committee of the "Short Hour
Association" and decided that the fact that the
Chace mill had % IA cents a cut, but paid only
p, was sufficient cause for the wesvers to strike
and advised them to stay out until the price was
adjusted. II was voted to hold 4 meeting at the
Opera House nj an early day, and further consider
the matter.
