WASHINGTON HASH
FRESH FROM THE WIRES.
A Dull Day-Conjectures About the
Pacific Railroads-The Eight
Hour Law in the House
Etc, Etc.


washington, May S.-The supreme
court having affirmed the constitution
ality and full force of the Thurman act
the quidnuncs are now directing atten-
tion to one of its sections which pro-
vides that, if either the Union Pacific
or the Central Pacific railroad compa-
nies shall fail to perform all its require
ments for the period of six months af-
ter such performance may be due, such
failure shall operate as forfeiture of all
rights, privileges, grants and franchises
derived by it from the United States,
and it shall be the duty of the attorney
general to cause such forfeiture to be
judicially enforced. 1t is asserted that
the Central Pacific company mas al
ready become liable to enforcement of
this forfeiture. 1t need hardly be
added, however, that there is not the
least probability of the government un-
dertaking to apply this provision to
the time during which the question of
the constitutionality of the whole law
was being urged forward to decision by
the supreme tribunal.

Bizzy Has Another Mad Spell.

Berlin, Germany, May SIN the tar
if debate in the reichstag to-day, Tasker
accused Bismarck of fomenting the
Agrarian agitation. An angry scene
ensued. Bismarck declared that depu-
ties should mutually respect the laws
of politeness. He said he merely
wished to restore Zollverein, and must,
for this purpose, remodel the railway
goods tariff, which was unduly favor
able to foreign products. He still ad-
hered to the whole of his programme.
DR.. Forkenbreck, president of the
chamber, ruled that Tasker's attack on
Bismarck was severe, but not insulting
Bismarck refused to retract his re-
marks, and quilted the house.

OUR DISPATCHES.
GATHERED FooM ALL PARTS.
The Old Story in the Senate-A Ring
ing Silver Bill Debate in the
House-Horse Thieves
Busy Flashes.
What VIII He do With it ?

Washington, May s.-A very decided
impression has been prevalent among
republican senators this afternoon that
the president will veto the democratic
caucus bill concerning the use of troops
on election days. Senators Edmunds
and Logan are especially emphatic in
expressing this belief. Republican
members of the house, ON the contrary,
are generally of the opinion he will sign
it, and the democrats seem to be entire
ly confident of the bill becoming a law
with the presidents approval, almost as
soon as he receives it. A vote in the
senate, according to present indications,
will be taken tomorrow evening, and,
unless there is an unexpected delay of
its return to the house with amend
ments, the bill will be sent to the presi-
dent on Saturday.

Bucharest, May S.-Private accounts
from Russia represent the situation all
over that country as beyond descrip-
tion, and that the tendency of the So
called repressive measures is towards
revolution rather than peace, as the
present annoyances and outrageous op-
preston of all classes of the population
are rapidly spreading. The feeling is
that anything is preferable to this state
of affairs. 1t is asserted that the gov
ernment is really playing the game of
the nihilists instead of crushing out the
spirit of discomfort in the empire.

Means it slavery3

London, May S.-A London cores
pondent of the Edinburg Scotsman says
the Spaniards have concluded con-
vention with the King of Anam,
Cochin China, with the purpose of
supplying Cuba with Anamite laborers,
and George Errington, liberal and
home-rule member of the house of
commons, for Longford county, Ire
land, intends to ask Bourke, under
secretary of state for foreign affairs,
whether he knows of such treaty, and
whether he will ascertain what provi-
sion has been made for the proper
treatment of the Anamites.

Sherman's Latest Speech.

Columbus, Ohio, May 7.-Secretary
She rman was serenaded tonight and
made speech reviewing the financial
progress of the country for the past two
years. The finances were improved by
no hocus pocus, but by the simple com
mon sense plan and everything is bene-
fitted. He then examined the status of
the colored man and the attempt to re-
peal the national election laws. He
disclaimed all political or personal
schemes for himself. He expressed
confidence in the four per. cents to re-
duce the debt, claiming that if the
present policy prevails, the government
would yet have to borrow all the money
needed, at less than that interest, he
hoped yet to see a reconciliation be-
tween capital and labor.

Another Strike THREATENED.

Chicago, May S.-The socialist
leaders here assert that they, with the
trades unions, are organizing a strike
to begin July 9Th and to be general
throughout the country. They will
demand universal adoption of the eight
hour system and will settle the matter
of wages after their demands on that
point are acceeded to. This strike has
been decided on in their privy councils,
but is no secret. Their purpose is po-
litical in its nature and the purpose of
the workmen is to secure BETTER
wages.

Adopted After All.

San Francisco, CAL, May s.--Oficia,
returns of the vote in the city yester.
day, give majority against the new
constitution Of 1875. Returns from
the interior confirm previous advices,
and the instrument is adopted by a
majority of from 6,Oo0 to 10000. The
farmers seem to have voted almost SOL
idly for it. The result has caused much
bitterness Of feeling in business circles,
where it is looked upon, to considera-
BILE extent, as an attack upon city inter-
ests by the interior. There is evident,
however, determination to make the
best of what is believed to be an un-
fortunate issue of an important ques
tiOn.

ly relations between India and Afghan

Congressional PROCEEDINGS,

SENATE.
Washington, May 8.-Consideratio
was resumed Of the house bill prohibit
ing military interference at elections.
Morgan urged its passage. He con-
tended that although the president
might disagree with congress and pre-
vent the enactment of their laws, yet
congress must not block the wheels of
the government. 1t must make the
necessary appropriations. He said the
president arrogantly assumed that con-
gress had no right to form legislation in.
appropriation bills. His veto message
was simply stump speech, and one in
bad taste, too. 1t was an echo of Conk-
ling's speech.
Morgan spoke for three hours and a
half.
Eaton said he would be glad to have
vote tomorrow on the bill.
Edmunds obtained the floor, and will
address the senate tomorrow.
Hoar was excused from service on
the committee to investigate election
frauds, and Platte was appointed in his
stead.
After an executive session the senate
adjourned.
Washington, May S.-The silver bill
was taken up, and Kimmel offered an
amendment, fixing the weight of the
silver dollar at AGO instead of 412t
grains. Fisher favored the amendment
and opposed the bill, arguing in favor
of single standard.
Fisher argued against Kelley's posi-
ton, and became involved in a contro-
versy with him.
Ewing said he would favor putting
the ratio of gold and silver as 15t to l,
Which would expel neither and retain
both.
Fisher characterized the bill as
cheat and fraud; in some respects a
free trade measure.
Mills favored the bill, but would
amend it.
Chittenden opposed the bill as an
assault on the integrity and welfare of
the people. He ridiculed De La Ma
tyr as the high priest of greenbackers,
who tried to make it warm for the
hell-born bondholders.
He then proceeded to "turn the
light" on Warner, and said that if that
