Northern Pacihc-Financisl Breakers
Ahead.

| Nerthern PaciHc-Fin.acial Breakers
| Ahead.
| WASHINGTON, March 3O.-The Senate com.
m!ctee ON railroads has virtually agreed to The
OIL extending the time for the completion Of
the Northerh Pacific Railroad, but it is handi.
capped by similar bill in the interest of the
| Texas Pacific. Although the interests of the
| latter will not suffer by delay of some time.
the managers thought it was good plan to
couple their request with that of the Northern
Pacific, and while the managers of the latter
40 not wish to anSagonize the Texas Pacific
interest, they prefer to have both bills stand
upon their respective merits. There is fear
among some of the Northern Pacific people
that their prospects will be injured by the
crowdlng OF the Texas Pacific scheme, be-
| cause the Southern Pacific will oppose the
granting OF any government favors to its rival.
There seems to be fears at the Treasury
and in the minds of some of the members OF
Congress that there will be drain of gold
from this country before great many months,
ana there are certainly many indications
pointing that way which have hitherto been
pointed out in these dispatches. The balance
OF trade has fallen off nearly 100000, 900
since year ago, and the returns tor March
| show that the imports are steadily increasing
while the exports are steadily decreasing.
Good crops in Europe in the coming harvest
would cause the exports of produce to cease
to great extent, and far-sghted tinanciers
are anxious that something shall be done by
Congress to check the probable flow of gold.
Morton, of New York, who is banker, with
house in London as we'll as one in this
country, is one of those who sees trouble
ahead, and his remedy is the passage of law
by Congress making gold and silver coin in
terchangeable at their lawful value, and
authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to
cause sufficient silver dollars to be coined in
order to meet the demand of such inter-
change. Morton has introduced bill en-
bodying his views which has been referred to
the committee on banking and currency.
Telegraph War.
ST.. LOUIS, March 30.-Under an order
issued by Judge Hallet, of the United States
circuit court, at Denver, to-day, the Western
Union Telegraph company regains possession
of their telegraph lines OH the Colorado Cen
tral railroad, extending from Denver, COL, to
Cheyenne, Wyo. At 6 p. m. they restored
connection between Colorado and points east
and north, as we'll as the Pacific coast, by
means of The Western Union lines forcbly
seized by the Gould interest on the 9th of
Western Union is very substantial gain to
that company, as the connection is very
important one.
San Francisco Election.
SAN Francisco, March 80. The total vote
of the city, except two outside precincts, is
30,667. Since noon the Workingmen's wards
have polled up somewhat and at the close it
is found that nearly all the wards are about
uniformly twenty-five per cent. below the
vote of last September. The 10th ward, a
strong Workngmen's precinct, has fallen
somewhat short of that proportion, and the
18th, an equally strong citizens ward, runs a
little over. There seems to be general be-
iet that the Citizens Union have elected all
their candidates, although tie outlook is less
favorable reasoning from the totals OF the
various wards, than in the early hours of the
day.
DrOWned-Strikers.
New YORK. March 30.-Peter Smith and
Patrick Calltwell, tinsmths, were blown from
the roof of the seventh regiment armory and
Killed.
TORONTO, March 3O.-Samuel Price and
Edward Raner, aged IA and Is, while playing
in a boat Sunday evening, dritted out into the
lake. The boat containing their dead bodies
was found near Niagara this morning.
CoHoEs, March 3O.-The strikers have
appointed committees to visit Eastern manu-
featuring cities to solicit aid. Suffering has
begun and the city is overwhelmed with
orders. 1t is rumored that the Harmony
mills, after thirty days, will eject the tenants
from their houses and replace them with
French operatives from Canada. This people
is regarded here as the Chinese on the Pacific
coast, as they huddle together in squalid
superabundance in their dwellings, eat the
coarsest food and are Objectionable as citizens.
French Intolerance.
PARIS, March 30.-Decrees against unau-
thorzed religious societies were published TO-
day. The first concerns the Jesuits only,
while the second affects all unauthorized
congregations. The first decree says:
'.The government considering that further
tolerance cannot be extended to society
against which national sentiment has declared
itself, has resolved to dissolve the association,
and the establishments occupied by its mem
berS must be closed and vacated within three
MONTHS which period may be prolonged until
August 3lst, in case of educational establish
ments attached to the society"
The second decree provides that unauthor-
lied congregations shall apply to the govern
ment fer authorization, and such bodies as
shall not ask or eventually OBTAIN authorlZa-
ton shall be dissolved.
The Marshal's Bill
New YORK, March 3O.-A Washington
special to the Telegram says the Republican
Senators held caucus to-day to consider the
clause Of the appropriation bill as passed by
the House, providing for the payment of the
United States Marsha!s. There was full
attendance and the matter was fully discussed.
1t was unanimously decided to otler all pos
sible opposition to this portion of the BILL on
the ground that it is renewal Of the vicious
practices of attaching new legislation to the
appropriation bills. Mr. Conklng and one
or two members made short but vigorous
speeches in favor of fighting the bill.
