ceived from Secretary Sherman, which makes charges
against their official conduct.
The Interstate Commerce Bill.
The Senate committee on commerce referred the
house bill to regulate interstate commerce, common-
ly known as ''Reagan's BILL" to a subcommittee
composed of Messrs. Spencer. Mcmillan and Dennis.
to hear arguments for or against the measure and
report to full committee.
Senator COnkiing Attacks the Pr esident.
In the executive session of the Senate ye sterday
communication was received from Secre tary Sher-
man, preferring charges against Arthur and Cornell
lately removed from the New York Custom House.
At the conclusion of the reading of Secreta SHEER
mans communication, Senator Conkling took the
floor and made an earnest speech defending Massrs
Arthur and Cornell from the charges of ,neficieney
and denouncing the charges as preteDces and after
thoughts put forth by the Administration in an effort
justify the action, which was wholly I'm warranted
on civil service grounds, and prompted merely by
personal or partisan consideration.
Senator Conkling in the course of his speech COM
mented with great severity upon the Admin STATIONS
action last winter in rendering another appointment
to Mr.. Arthur, saying in substance that after these
pretended damaging facts were known to President
Hayes and Secretary Sherman, they solicited and
urged Arthur to take foreign position of CHEAT i'm
porance, such as Consul Generaship at Paris or
London.
Senator Thurman made some mi-jocular remarks
evidently calculated to widen the breach between
the President and the majority of the RepH blican
members of the Senate, and Senator Edmunds also
spoke briefly without, however, definitely indie ating
his position on the subject of the controversy.
The communications and accompanying papers
were then, on motion of Mr.. Conkng, refer ed to
the committee on commerce.

ministerial situation is full of difficulties. The ex-
IRENE Left object to General Grevey the new minis

think the compensation awarded to General Barrett
and enemy of Republican institutions in command
of the Rouen Corps, too pointed evidence that the
ministry has not shaken off the shackles of unconst-
tutional and irresponsible power.
There is even some talk OF upsetting the cabinet,
but Gambeta will hardly permit party feeling to
tempt him into such unreasonable conduct.
The Paris corresro ndent of the Times regards the
sill uaton very critical The overthrow Of the cab
met he says, would lead to MacMahon's retirement,

range society throughout France.
