ELLSWORTH, May mo signiticsnce
IL attached TO the visit to the Cimbria oi
agents Of the Union Pacific & Lake Shore
Railroad. They only came upon the ru.
NOR that the Russians were destined for
the Pacific coast. They could get no
hint from the officers Of any such inten-
tion and returned without any more
knowledge OF the Russian plan than has
been telegraphed. The rumor that the
British steamer had been outside proves
uuiounded, the only trace Of the British
espionage Is the vice Consul, but the feel.
ing here Is 80 intensely Russian that no
one seems inclined to talk with him, and
he spends his time standing on the pier
or following the officers about. BE de-
pends on the Associated Press dispatches
for news. BE expresses some surprise
that the United States government has
not q Cutter here,on watch. There Ia
nothing TO watch other than, 4 German
steamer flying flags at anchor, with
only passengers on board. The ship
has only coal and provisions in the hold
and scarcely enough Of them for ballast.
The ships papers show that the Rus.
sians simply are passengers. Cabin pass.
engers are classed Is pleasure travellers,
and steerage passengers are classed as
tradesmen. They are all young men, @.
Gripenborg being the eldest, and he only
45. Among other prominent officers are
Count AleIenneff, Lieut.. 0relan, Baron
Ungern, N. sternberg, NJ. 1vanhof, ".
slavinsky and N. Pavaloff.
Captain Badenhousen claims that he Is
exempt from seizure in case war Is de.
clared, as he Is not conveying soldiers or
sailors, but only passengers. Officers

quire ships to clear for any particular

destroy their own position and thsii
own power as we'll. What member from
Texas or California would assassinate The
wool interest Of his State BY voting fol
this bill. He compared the protection
given BY this bill 10 the manufacturing
Interest to the idiocy Of an engineer who
assumed that BY making the dykes and
levees Of Holland and the Mississippi
River Of equal height with the sea and
river he thus protected the people. II
would be no protection At all. The dykea
and leyees must be made higher than the
sea and river or the country would be
oyerfloWed.
Mr., Wood called attention 10 the diyi-
dends paid by the Massachusetts wooden
mile, as shown by spofords almanac,
and quoted dividends In his own Banks D
district IS being 10 1870. 10 per cent; in
1871, II per cent; in 1872, 1Sper cent; 10
1873, 9 per cent; in 1874. IA per cent; in
1875, Q per cent; in 1876, 10 per cent.
Mr.. Banks replied that he also had in
his own hand y copy Of the same book
which showed dividends Of the New Eng.
land manufacturing companies from 1870
to 1875. The dividends in 1870 were
largely growing out oi the forelhougb, and
intellect OF the manufacturers who laid in
large supplies Of cotton At the breaking
out Of the late unpleAsantness, but the
dividends for 1875 which were thoso that
should be taken into consideration,
averaged only s 1900 per cent in an
aggregate capital Of $52,000.000, and
there were thfrty.four Of the companies
that had paid no dividends at all, How
was that for high! [Laughter.l he
characterized the proposition Of the bill
on wooden goods, and which Mr.. Wood
had spoken Of as general reduction aa
assassination Of the most vital interests in
the country, but the fact was, the Com.
mittee on Ways and Means did not know
what you were doing on the
wooden sections Of the bill, and that
reminded him OF the war anecdote
with which be finished his speech. 1t was
that Of chapain who had volunteer ed
to distribute soldiers mails, and who
found that in consequence Of bad roads,
the interruption Of the mails by the pres.
ence Of the enemy etc., that It was o big
ger Job than be had any notion Of, and
when one morning the soldiers came to
him one after the other with the inquiry,
aMr. Chaplain, when will the mail ar.
rive" he got tired Of answering the ques.
tion, and took board and nailed II on q
tree and with piece ofcaalk wrote, "The
Chaplain does not know when the mail
will arrive" and 8 little fellow crept in
behind him and added the words, "Neith.
er does he care q damn" And so, said
Mr.. Banks, the committee did not know
what harm II was doing to the industries
OF the country, neither did itcare damn.
Loud laughter.
The committee rose and Mr.. Singleton
made conference report on the bill to
regulate the advertising Of mail lettings.
Agreed TO.

sale Of the new edition Of the revised
statutes was taken from the Speakers ta-
bic and passed.
