WEST POINT OUTRAGE.

WEST POINT, N. Y, April IT,
The Times correspondent was called
to the stand and handed a copy of
the Times of April 18th. BY the
advice of counsel he refused to
answer questions, on the ground
that the information was impaired
to him in confidence in his official
capacity. Recorder Sears stated
that the article referred to begins
by speaking Of o highly im~
portant clue. That clue was
known to be reported ON the first
day court convened, and the re-
porter took every step to get evi~
dence to support the clue, but was
unable to get anything to positively
justify him in placing the parties
alleged to be concerned with it upon
the witness stand. On reading the
article referred to, he found such
positive statements that he deemed
it important to put the reporter on
the stand in hope of getting some
thing to substantiate the clue.

The severest storm of the season
visited this state yesterday. la the
northern sections several inches of
snow fell, impeding trains in the

was severe on vessels and property,
and reports of disasters are ex-
pected. The tug Caroline Williams

EXPLOSION.
Twelve White Men and Fifteen
Cinnamon Killed.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1.-THE
Giant Powder Works, in the district
of Birkley, across the bay, exploded
yesterday afternoon, killing twelve
white men and twelve or fifteen
Cinnamon. This is the third ex-
plosion this company has sustained,
all attended with loss of life. The
explosion occurred in the picking
room and all the men at work there
were killed. There was about
six thousand pounds of powder in
the room. All the victims were
blown to atoms. A large portion
of the skull of a Chinaman was
found with the queue attached.
There were six houses inside the
works and they were all blown to
pieces, but the workmen in them es.
capped, with the exception of one
man in the magazine, of whom no
trace has been found. Outside
Of the works are six houses,
including the boating house
of the hands, all of which
were more or less damaged but are
still standing. The explosion is
supposed to be the result of care
lessness. The workmen are hired
by the piece and directed to use
wooden mallets in packing carts
ridges, but they found they could
work faster aud make more money
by using iron hammers, q danger
Gus practice. 1t is supposed that
some man struck his cartridge once
too often, and it went off, igniting
the powder before him which COM
munIcated with the adjacent pack
ages with the above terrible result.

xLvI. CONGRESS.
HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, April II.

WAsHlNGT0N, Apfll ~.
The morning hour was dispensed
with and the house at 1885 went
into a committee Of the whole (Mr.
Whitthorne, Of Tennessee, in the
chair) on the Indian appropriation
bill, the pending question being a
point of order raised by Mr., Has
kell (Kan.) against the amendment
offered by Mr.. Hooker Miss for
the transfer of the Indian bureau
from the interior to the war departs
ment.
After special argument by Mr..
Hooker (Miss.) in opposition to the
point Of order, the chair delivered
a decision that the amendment was
germane, and that it retrenched ex>
penditures there was no doubt, but
it was clearly obnoxious to the point
of order, and that it was in sub
stance identical with several bills
now pending before the house. He,
therefore, sustained the point of
order, and the amendment was not
received. The committee then rose
and reported the bill to the house.
The house rejected the amend,
ment increasing the appropriation
for clothing for the Sioux from
$4,000 to $l50,000, by vote of,
yeas, "a; nays, 104.
The amendment abolishing the
Indian commission was agreed to-
yeas, 112; nays, 65.
Other amendments were agreed
to without division, and the bill, as
amended, passed, the vote being
taken by yeas and nays, as required
by the rules.
Mr.. McMahon TO- from the
committee on appropriations, re-
ported back the deficiency bill with
the senate amendments.
Mr.. Conger Mich raised
point of order that the bill must be
considered in committee of the
whole, and it was thus referred.

acting as speaker pro tenn, here

tions from the committee on elections
a resolution for an investigation

ton, by Mr.. Springer guy, of an
anonymous letter, which purporte d
to be an attempt to corruptly in~
fuence his action as a member of
the election committee in the case

not think it presented question of

THE EXODUS.
WASHINGTON, April IT.

Before the exodus committee tos
day, L. S. Tomkins, of Shreveport,
La, a planter, testified that there
was no difficulty in colored people
men women and childred--getting
plenty of work in that region. The
blacks furnish the best labor the
south has. 1t is to the pecuniary
interest of the whites to treat the
negroes well. He never saw any
intimidation or outrages at the polls.
The negroes enjoyed their civil
rights in his vicinity. The credit
system of doing business undoubt>
edly affords facilities for dishonest
merchants to cheat ignorant labor
ers--white and black. The negro
suffers more from improvidence than
from small pay. He stopped the
exodus movement in his section by
employing on his place black man
who had been to Kansas. His
description of that country cured
the negroes of the emigration
fever.
?. 7. Vinson, Of Shreveport, a
planter, had never seen any inter.
ference with the voting of negroes;
the educational facilities for the
blacks were fair; one black laborer
was worth five whites, and if the ne.
groes had saved their money they
would own the state of Louisiana
now. They spend their money a;
gin shops, ginger cakes and
peanut stands, &C., and mer,
chants cheat them out of it,
The blacks are better off now as a
race than when they were slaves.
The condition of the planters is no;
better than before the war.

WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, April II.

WAsH1NeroN, April II.
A meeting Of the senate commit
tee on railroads. was held to>day for
the purpose of considering the
Northern Pacific and Texas Pacific
railroad bills, but in consequence of
the absence of four members from
the city and the illness of another,
only bare quorum were in attend
ance. After a colloquial dis ,ussion
Of the subjects in hand, the com
mittee adjourned unil Monday,
without action upon either of them.
The democratic members of the
senate committee on rules and of
the senate select committee on the
subject of counting the electoral
votes held long private meeting
to. day, with view to agreeing
upon some recon mendation for ac>
ton in regard to the electoral
count to be taken by the senate
at the present session. 1t was
substantially decided to recommend
that the two houses of congress
shall adopt, a new joint rule, pro-
vided that in case only one certlfi,
cate of the electoral vote Of state
be presented to congress, it shall
not be rejected, except by the
affirmative vote of the two
houses, ana that in case Of
dual returns, neither shall be
counted unless the two houses agree
that one Of them is the true and
valid returns. This proposition is
substantially the same as that Of
fered by Senator Morton in the
forty>fourth congress and then
adopted by the senate in the
form Of bill, which, however,
failed TO receive final action in that
body in consequence of Mr.. Thur
man having entered a motion to re.
consider ito passage. The former
22nd joint rule on the subject re-
quired every vote to be rejected
to which any objection was sus,
tanned by either house.
