WASHINGTON. March 20.-The Oliver.
Cameron breach Of promise suit was con-
tinued yesterday, and the cross.eIamin.
alton OF Mrs. Oliver by Ben. Butler
resumed. A number Of letters written
bv Mrs. Oliver were produced, read and
acknowledged by witness as hers. An
effort will be made by the defense to
show that the handwriting OF these let
tiers 10 identical with that OF the letters
purporting to have been written by Sen.
ator Cameron to Mrs. Oliver. The let
tiers read were generally Of n threatening
character, demanding q money consider.
alton In settlement. Among them was
one stating that she would bring suit for
$4,000. but was willing to compromise
for $40, 900. To this letter was adj
dressed q postscript. saying: ~ am go.
ing before the court next week to swear
to the truth. that you are the father OF
this baby, no that II will not come into
the world %unprovided for" Witness
stated that there was no child. but she
believed herself In that condition at the
time she wrote the letter. Others judged
40, and shs was obliged to loave the
Treasury Department on that account.
Cameron forced her TO take medicine.
She believed at the time that II was done
to destroy her. She afterwards had .
miscarriage. Sho went into Riddles
office in a state OF pregnancy. and later
returned. and said child was born. and
she wanted him to 60 after Cameron to

In the mining report Of yesterday
mention was made Of the connections at
the North Consolidated Virginia shaft
with the 100 level Of the Sierra Ne
yada, and between the north and south
drifts on the 1900 level Of that mine,
thus opening communication on that
level between the east shaft and the in.
cline.
At the North Consolidated Virginia
shaft the full connection was not made
till yesterday. This connection is now
the full size OF the upraiss. which was
about six feet square. Sinking Is being
continued right along to the full size OF
Of the shaft. the rock tumbhng to the
100 level and being raised through the
Sierra Nevada. This will probably cor.
tinue 10 be the Q till the new cables
arrive aud the big engine 10 set TO work.
The heated air from the Sierra Nevada
Is rushing up the shaft with tremendous
velocity. Il annoys the men somewhat,
making them sick and causing cramps,
etc. Whisky and rubbing are the pre-
vailing remedies. This the boys like.
especially the whisky. Last evening
the shift came up terribly cramped.
They got O good drink each. One fellow.
however, was not satisfied. He wanted
to be cured again. At this point an old
Comstocker picked up q stick and COM
mencsd administering the bonanza cure.
BY the time q half-dozsn smart blows
had been given him he declared the
cramps all gone.
At the 1900 level OF the Sierra Nevada
the connection was partially made night
before last, and completed yesterday.
The whole mine Is cooling OF rapidly.
By running q short DRIFT on the 100
level two other openings were connected
and Q c~ross-current prevented, that
would have interisred with the thorough
ventilation OF the mine. The air Is now
down the main shaft OF the Sierra Ne
,ada; thence along the main south
drift to tho east drift, along
this TO the vertical winze and
down the Wine to the 1900; thence
along the main south drift on this level
to the main incline and up the incline
TO the 100 level, thence TO and up
through the Jackson shaft. This has
been effected by placing doors at proper
points.
Work in the mine will now DO driven
more rapidly. The new compressor
furnishes all the compressed air needed.
and tho improved ventilation will
enable the miners to work TO better
advantage.

BERLIN. March 20.-In his speech In
the Rsichstag. Monday. Herr Lisbknscht
(socialist) commended that Hoedsl and
Modelling. the would.he assassins Of EN-.
peror William. were not Socialists. The
Socialists. he said, were convinced that
the progress Of history and triumph OF
their philanthropio programme could not
be impeded by the existence OF any
single individual. Their societies might
be dissolved and their journals sup
pressed, yet they would cling 70 their
tensts. The middle classes would soon
perceive that what they dread VA the
Governments drill and barrack system.
II the Government could prove conneo-
ton Of the German Socialists with at
tempts on the lives Of the Kings OF Spain
and Italy be would accept the anti.
Socialist laws. The Government should
itself be placed at the bar for imposing Q
petty state Of sieRs In Berlin. rather than
the Socialists. Remaining seated when
the Emperor was being cheered was no
insult, but merely Q duty which the 30.
c%ialisis owed TO their political ON.
yictions.

That Drntn.

Mining men. nov that the compro-
mise has been effected. are talking about
that subdrain. Various views are OF.
pressed. One old miner contended
strenuously that II could not be main.
taiued in the swelling ground. Another
insisted that the required blasting would
tear the tunnel all to pieces; while all
were OF the opinion that the covering
would rot of every year. Many cor.
tended that o l2.inch pipe would be
preferable. One said that the water
would have to DO pumped to the level
Of the tunnel anyway. and might
~ we'll be raised one hundred feet
higher. which would give such q
pressure that q small Pipe would con-
duct II oil of. These views were over.
heard by q mining superintendent who
said that the continued rising OF the
water Of the Comstock. even 100 feet.
would DO such = constant expense that
the plan was not advisable. He. how.
ever. agreed that q pipe OF sufficient
capacity would DO far more economical
and In every way preferable TO the pro-
posed drain. Such q pipe could be laid
along one side Of the tunnel and be
wholly out OF the way.

WASHINGTON. March 19.-Following
Is the Presidents message:
Fellow citizens OF the Senate and OF
the House OF Representatives: The
failure OF the last Congress to make the
requisite appropriations for Legislative
aud Judicial purposes. for the expenses
Of the several Executive Departments OF
the Government and for the support Of
the army, has made II necessary to call
. special session OF the Forty.siIth Con.
grsss. The estimates Of appropriations
needed, which were sent to Congress by
the Secretary Of the Treasury at tho
opening OF the last session. are renewed
and herewith transmitted to both the
Senate and House Of Representatives.
Regretting the existence OF the emer-
gency which requires q special session
Of Congress at this time, when Il Is the
general judgment OF the country that the
public welfare will DO best promoted by
permansncy In our legislation and by
peace and rest, I commend these few
measures TO your considerate attention.
(Signsd) RUTHERFORD q. HAYES.
Accompanying the message are est.
mates from the Secretary OF the Treasury
for money needed for the army and legis.
lativs branches Of the Government, the
sams a. those submitted at the opening
OF the last session, with the exception OF
items provided for at that session. Last
Congress made provision for the Military
Academy ct West Point and Notifications
aud armament. This leaves. according
to the estimates. s2S. $40, 900 yet to be
appropriated for the army. None Of the
legislative. executive and judicial appro-
priaiions were provided Tor even In part.
The estimate for these expenses is SlG,-
$40. To these appropriations are
also to be added the item for court ex.
penses, which Is generally placed In the
Sundry Civil bill. but which was left out
OF that bill at the last session. The est.
mate for these expenses is s3,0OO,O 600.

The Pumps ~ she fiooded Mines
asd she Requa SHAFT 20 be
htopped.

The FIRST effect OF the compromise
with Mr.. Sutro Is not favorable. The
pumps at the Savage, Hale & Norcross
and the Requa shaft are to be shut down
till such time a. the subdrain OF the
tunnel Is completed. This will be
as soon as q little work can DO done to
guard against any evil effects from the
water. At the Savage there Is nothing
to do before stopping. but at the Hale d
Norcross they will make some prepsr.
atoms in the way Of securing things ON
tho lower levels. They will probably
shut down this week. When the pumps
are stopped the water will rise TO the
1000 level, when II will flow through the
lightning drift to the Requa shaft. which
1t will i'll to q certain hight, but not up
to the 1893 level. where the connection
Is made with the tunnel.
