TWO IMPORTANT BILLS.

BILL REPORTED TO AMEND THE BANKRUPT LAWS
"A STATE BOARD OF PRISON INSPECTORS.
IRON THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBUSEl
ALBANY, March 18.-Since the repeal OF the
United States Bankrupt Law, efforts have
been made to amend the laws OF this State
In regard to insolvency. These laws were
practically in dsuse during the existence OF the United
States law, but upon its repeal all their provisions
sprane into life. Some of these provisions are OF a
very harmful nature, in the opinion Of hundreds OF
merchants.
Complaint is made especially OF the provision OF the
State law which permits preferences among creditors by
a bankrupt in dividing his property among them 1t
argued that there should be no preferred ced
tors year ago a general nsovent act which had been
prepared with great care and in which this principle OF
the preferred creditor abolished, after long de-
bate in the Assembly, was defeated
This year the Judiciary Committee OF the Senate have
considered the question AS the result OF their deDera
ton Senator Robertson to-day presented bill for the
committee abolishing the system OF preferrng cred
tors with two important exceptions The bin is an
amendment OF tho Assignment Act OF 1877. AS
amended the act will read Is followsi $500
Every conveys or assignment made by DEBTOR
OF his real personal or 6otn 10 an assignee O
the creditors o. such debtor shall he in writing and
ized take the Acknowledgement OF deeds, ana sna
provide for the just and equal distribution OF said dept
or's estate after payment Of expenses and fees be
tween all of the creditors OF said DEBTOR in
proportion 70 the amounts OF their respective ut3ts
without any preferences whatever, except that debts
for wages OF labor accrug within six mouths next
prior such assignment, to tho extent OF SlOO ech
NAV be preferred therein"
The exposure of the dsgraceful in which the
tails are managed made recently by the Prison Associ-
ailon, and also by commission appointed Dy the Legs
lature has led Senator Robertson TO introduce bill TO-
day providing for State Board OF Prison lnsDect0rs

An Awful ExpIOsfen-People Blown
 Out of Their Eseds-Ecrkmen Dr0yEn-
 ing in Floods of OH.
 NEW YoRK, Jan. 13.-Several workmen were engaged late last night in filling one of the large oil tanks at Pratt's Astral Oil works, at the corner of North Twelfth and First streets, Williamsburg, when there was most terrific explosion. The top of the tank was blown of, it's contents burst out, and the oil, of which there was a large quantity, was quickly spread over the whole premises. The men who were employed at the works had a miraculous escape from death. Three men were slightly injured, and came very near drowning in the oil. Fortunately there was no fre-the explosion having occurred from generated gas in the tank. The works are so well constructed, that any escape of oil through leaks or bursting of pipes cannot come in contact with the fires. The force of the explosion and report was very great. The windows of the houses in the vicinity were blown out, and in three, near the corner of Twelfth and First streets, whole sashes were shattered to pieces. People asleep in them were nearly thrown from their beds and they fled from their apartments to the streets in their night clothes, supposing there had been an earthquake. These dwellings were ren- dered almost untcnable by reason of the shock. A large crowd of spectators gathered at the scene. Nothing could be learned as to the circumstences of the explosion, or the amount of damage done. The parties in charge Of the works are very reticent, but asserted that it did not amount to much, and that the loss would not be very great.

THE INDIANS.

Ouray's Mission-He Promises to Secure
 the Guilty UtesLThe Chiefs Much De-
 pressed.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The Ute Indians have remained quiet at their hotel to-day. They are much worn out from travelling and depressed in spirits on account of the demands made by the Government for the surrender of their friends and relatives. Ouray during his interview with Secretary Schurz yesterday stated that he was confident that all the really guilty Indians would be surrendered. He could not understand why General Hatch did not take the six principal guilty Indians when they were offered to him and get the other six at some future time. The instructions to Gen. eral Hatch, it may be stated, were to demand twelve Indians whose names were given, and it is understood that he had no authority to accept six and wait for the balance. Ouray says that his people are very much depressed at the demand made by the Government that they fully understood the situation, and that sooner than submit to the annihilation of their tribal relations they will deliver up their friends and relatives who are demanded by the Gov ernment. It is thought that the chiefs now here to consult with the authorities will resolve to comply with the terms of surrender offered by the commission at Los Pinos. The Indians are quartered at the Fremont House, where they pass the time very quietly, receiving few visitors and those only Government officials, the sole exception being Miss Josie Meeker and female friend who called to see Ouray and his wife, The Indians have their meals served in their rooms. They are not guarded. Only policeman is kept on duty to keep idlers from annoying them. The latter dislike very much to have a crowd around looking at them. Mrs. Ouray has asked to be furnished with fur lined silk cloak, having seen one worn by a lady passing the hotel
 Secretary Schurz at the Cabinet meeting to- day stated what took place between Ouray and himself at their conference yesterday and added that the Indians expressed themselves as very tired from travelling and desired rest before having business meeting; therefore no day had been set for the meeting.

THE OLD WORLD
France

Success OF the RepubIic-A Glowing
 Tribute to tho Now GOvernment.
 PABIs, Jan. 13.-On the reassembling of the Legislature M. Deesaux was elected chair man, and on taking his seat was received with cheers by the left. He spoke at some length of the affairs of the country, contrasting it's present position among the great powers of Europe and it's internal peace and prosperity with it's condition and experiences under pre- vious forms of government. After 8 contest of nearly century republican ideas had tri- umphed in France and become solidified in form of government, which he trusted and believed would prove as stable as it was be- nefcent and equal in operation. M. Dessaux called attention to tho fact that this great change had been brought about by perfectly peaceful and legal means. There were more or less frequent sgitations, which must inevi- tably be the case when the expression of opin- ion was as much popular right as it's forma- tion. But he had confidence that the ruling majority in the Legislature would take no action inconsistent with the tranquili- ty which France at present possesses. and which is indispensable to the develop ment of her home industries and foreign commerce. In striking contrast with the eonvulsions which formerly attended the change of rulers in France, the late transfer ofpower from the hands of Marshal MacMahon 10 those of President Grsvy had taken place amidst perfect calm, as under similar govern ments with much older political machinery and with people more thoroughly educated to it's workings. He argued from this fact the devotion of the people to the republic and their comprehension of the ideas which are to make it perpetual M. Dessaux in moderate language deprecated the unnecessary agitation of questions not pertinent to the existing needs of the country, expressing the hope that the coming year, which seemed so full of prospective trouble for Europe, would con- tinue to witness peaceful France, self gov erned and able to reconcile the general safety with satisfactory solution of all important issues.
 M. Gambetta was reelected president of the Chamber of Deputies to-day by 259 votes. Three hundred and eight members voted, the right abstaining, and there were 49 blanks.

Captain Eads, CIainl-Tbe Cabinet
 Discussing its Payment.

Discussing its Payment.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The most import ant question discussed at the Cabinet meeting was as to Captain Eads' claim for the payment of per cent. interest on $1, 900, 900 which is withheld from payment to him until the per manency of his work is assured. Under Cap tain Eads' contract he was entitled to $5, 50O,- 900 for creating Q channel 26 feet in depth and not less than 200 feet in width at the bot tom and through it central depth of 30 feet without regard to width. As the work pro gressed he was to receive certain amounts to the extent of $4, 500, 900, and when the maxi mum channel was obtained the remaining $1, ,OOO, GOO was to be deemed as having been earned, but to remain as security in possession of the United States for ten years, one-half that amount to then be paid, and the other half to be held ten additional years. The maximum channel was obtained July 9th last, and from that date commenced to run the second series of payments, namely, $10O, 900 per annum in equal quarterly payments for twenty years, and five per cent. interest pay able semi-annually on the $1 ,000, 900 reserved. The $1OO, 900 is compensation for the main tenance of the channel, and the first quarter ruled to be quarter of its maintenance, as distinguished from quarter or calendar year, ended October 30 last and was paid for. Now arises the demand on the part of Capt. Eads for the allowance of interest, and the question is, is the inter- est payable semi-annually for all time according to the calendar, or is 1t payable only for the time of the maintenance of the maximum channel. The question WAS fully discussed in Cabinet and finally referred to the Attorney General for further examina- tion of the law. The Attorney General will port will no doubt be favorable to Captain Eads.
