THE NATIONAL CAPITAL

Progress of the Telegraph War.
 WASHINGTON, March 23.-The Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Company filed an amend ment to-day to the suit for an injunction against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com pany and the American Union Telegraph Com pany. This sets forth their. claim to the right of way over the railroad under the act of July 24, 1866, designed to aid in the construction of telegraph lines and to secure to the Gov ernment the use of the same for postal, mill tary and other purposes, which in 1875 filed a written acceptance of the restrictions and obligations of said act. By this law it is claimed the company has right to thesuse ef all post and military roads, and also railroads to erect their wires. Defendants also filed answers to the original bill and protested against the allowance of the amendment. The answers deny any combination to deprive con- plaiuant of the use of the wire in controversy, but own that it was erected on the basis of verbal agreement between General T. T. Eek ert, then president of tho Atlantic and Pacific and now of the American Union Company, and J. W. Garrett, president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, whereby the lat ter could take possession on the payment of costs, which they express themselves ready to do. The written proposition made by Eckert to Garrett for years notice is stated in the affidavit by the former never to have been accepted.
 The hearing on the application by the At lantic $ Pacific Telegraph Company for pre- liminary injunction involving the immediate transfer of the wire which is stated to be the key of the Western system to them was commenced before Judge Hay ner. The day was consumed in reading the papers. It is believed that a new point raised is the most reliable yet made by con- plainants, and when counsel for the defend ants became aware of it's importance they at once moved to set aside it's admission into the case. This will also be argued in connection with the above motion, and also the applioa- ton of the defendants to have their opponents elect on which of the suits, that in New York, Cincinnati, Chicago or here, it will proceed. An affidavit was filed by General Ecksrt, lating the particulars of the pooling arrange ment entered into in November, 1878, be- teen the Atlantic and Pacific and Western Union telegraph companies, to show that contest is really being made by the latter which is antagonizsd by the new company.

Wife Murder and Suicide.

PH1LADELPH1A, March 23.-Patrick Hayes shot and killed his wife this morning, then shot himself twice in the head. It appears that Hayes and his wife have never lived hap oily together on account of the husbands sx- treme jealousy, which seems to have been en- tirely unfounded. When the tragedy took place Kate and Ella Hayes, stepdaughters, were at work in factory. When told of the murder their grief was heartrending. After Hayes had been taken to the hospital he con fessed to the murder and afterward said Kate shot them both. He was unconscious at times and talked wildly. This evening he was still alive but not expected to live.

The most astonishing part of the statement Is that the Baltimore and Ohio railroad has a surplus of 9,228 tons, while but short time ago it was nearly 5000 tons short. This is caused by the extraordinary heavy demand for corn ship ments to Baltimore. It is stated that the heavy freight movement the last two weeks has already caused blockade on some of the roads, and for this reason there is falling of in the east bound freight. A movement dur ing the present week is expected.

It opposed by Messrs. Oockrell, Here ford and IDgals outside the Jurisdiction of Con- gress, and advocated by Msssrs Bailey and Hoar constitutional aud in the interest of natiosal educa tion.
 Pending debate the morning hour expired and the Geneva award bill taken up.
 MT. Garland addressed the Senate Sha bill. He argued that the commission made the award to the United States trust fund for distribution by the United States for the benefit of claimants. The speaker combatted the idea that the Government could not hold trust fund and dispense it. He also argued that insurance companies who paid for their losses entitled to their claims.
 States general fund to be administered in had a right to include some claimants and exclude It arbitration between nations for the in dennnity injuries suffered by through the neg- gence of the other. high sense Of equity to those who suffered by England's fault should govern this distribution. Insurance companies can make no claim for they profted from the fault of England. They took blood and now want blood-money. They took premium for risks of disaster, which finally overlook them and to them from the award would be to pay these companies twice over. As Mr. Dawes concluded his remarks MT.

 doors. In all about 800 men have returned to work. Somme & Go. say that they intend to
 keep their promise to the association, but don't propose to be the last to resume and
 have other manufacturers capture all the best men. It is probable this firm will throw open
 the doors of their factory within day or two. Albert Weber has withdrawn from the mauu- lecturers union, it is understoodS and invited his men to return before the end of the week, by which time it is probable that ali factories except Steinways will again be in full opera ton.
 Hermann's 500 striking cabinet makers re- fuse to accept any offers made through the newspapers, but are willing to cooperate with Hermann if he will request them to do so. He says they may come to him if they want to return to work. So matters stand, with no prospect of an early settlement. Hermann has advertised for men to take the places of the strikers, and to- day representative of the Boston cabinet makers visited this city to make terms, but returned as soon as he was informed of the true state of affairs, after telegraphing these who had sent employ Chinese. He denounces trades unions and says he can get Chinese cheaper, and they won't strike. The announcement causes much excitement among the men.
