The Situation.

WASHINGTON, Nav IA leading
Democrat tonight sums up the position
of HAYES thus. Said he: ..F.H two
years Hayes was somewhat alarmed at bis
title, and ctquetted with the Democrats
in order to induce them not to assail it
BY 50 doing he lost caste with and divi-
ded his own party. Now that he feels
that his official tenure is sure, he bastens
to get back in the party from which he
had strayed, and is willing to go to any
extremity to be welcomed to its member
ship in good standing. Again, he is
urged by bis party to thus arbitrarily use
the veto power-not because his con
science compels him to do it, but because
the party demand it of him as a necessity
to present a united front for the 1880
campaign.
The votes 10 the House indicate that
the party in the House is disposed to &C.

dent has thrown down, and see II be can

Fernando Wood introduced, setting the

an adjournment sine die, leaving the
President to sign the bills or stay the ap-

General Ewing is in favor OF the pres

now OF the political situation in Ohio.

LONDON, February 8.
The origin Of the plague in Russia is
thus given A Cossack, returning from
the war to Wetlinska, brought his lady
love q shawl, which che wore W days,
when she sickened with all the symptoms
Of the plague and died within the follow
ing four days. Other members Of her fam
lily died. The disease spread rapidly. The
local authorities not paying any attention
to it, half Of the inhabitants died, and the
remainder were unable to bury the victims.
Then, when the epidemic had assumed Sc
rions dimensions, energetic measures were
taken for preventing its spreading, and
strict guarantees were established first
ly, in the towns and villages, shutting off
the streets where the plague reigned from
the rest Of the place secondly, by sur
rounding the villages with troops, so that
nobody was allowed to pass in or out. The
panic in Russia is almost ndescribable.
Every class and station in life has Pc
titioned for an entire cessation of all in
tercourse, even postal communication
between the rest of Russia and the Volga.
Letters sent from Astrachan and Zearatzin
are not received by the persons to whom
they are addressed; some people even re-
fuse to take paper money, fearing the germ
Of the infection might be communicated
through it. 1t is almost impossible to de-
scribe the terror which has taken possess
sion of the people. The Russian Sanitary
Commission has proposed to shut off the
Volga line from all intercourse with West
ern Russia, and permit communication
oply under quarantine. rhe Russian rail-
way cars are not admitted to German ter
ritory. The export of grain from Poland
will suffer severely from this restriction.
The Roumanian Government is discussing
the e~x-pediency of prohibiting the transit
of Russian provisions sent to victual the
Balkan army.
WELLANp, Ontario, February 8.
This morning the west-bound train on
the Canada Southern Railroad, while stand
ing on the Lyons Greek bridge, near this
station, was run into by another west
bound train. The engine and caboose were
burned, eighteen cars smashed, and the
bridge also considerably burned. George
Tyler, a brakeman, was fatally injured.
