Religious Risotrv In Parliament.

London. April 26.-In the house of
commons to-day, Bradlaugh advanced
to the speakers table to be sworn,
when Northcote objected, and the
speaker requested Bradlaugh to with
draw. Northcote then moved, that
having regard for the resolution of the
house and the reports of the two select
committees, Bradlaugh be not permit
ted to take oath.
Laboucher said that the object of
Northcote's motion was to stir up the
smouldering embers of religious big
otry.
John Bright defended Bradlaugh's.
right to take oath on the ground that
Bradlaugh stated that his oath would be
binding on his conscience.
With the permission of the house,
Bradlaugh, speaking from the bar,
gave his word that his oath would be
binding on his conscience.
Gladstone asserted that the house
had no right to inflict disability on a
member, who it was admitted, had
no legal disquallllcations.
Northcote's motion was adopted by a
vote of 20S to 175, amidst tremendous
cheers from the conservatives.
Bradlaugh again advanced to table,
and the speaker asked him to withdraw.
Bradlaugh declined on the ground that
the resolution was illegal. The
speaker asked instructions.
Northcote asked Gladstone whether
he intended to carry out the resolu-
tionp
Gladstone declined to answer, saying
that he could not take the function out
of the hands OF the majority.
Northcote then said, considering
that Gladstone had abdicated his func-
tions as leader, he moved that Brad
laugh withdraw.
Gladstone insisted that it is was not
his place to move in the matter.
Labouchere said that Bradlaugh was
prepared to return again and again to
the house.
John Bright advised Bradlaugh to
retire.
Bradlaugh declined.
The speaker advised him to with
draw, and as he refused, the sergeant
alarms removed him to the bar.
The speaker asked for fresh instruc.
tions.
Northcote said he would not shrink
from moving for the committal of Brad

ter mark, three feet higher than at 10
O'Clock this morning, and one foot
higher than the great june foods of
last year. The water spreads from
bluff to bluff, except on the ground
filled by the railroad on the east side
and elevated roads and slightly raised
ground on which the st. Paul is built.
About i 900 people live in west st.
Paul flats whose houses viii be flooded
if the rise continues. Many houses are
now isolated and some half buried un-
der the water. The water has COM
menced to flow through the streets with
hourly increasing current From the
southeast the back water is coming to-
ward the city, and spreading in vast
sheets over the low lands.
Shortly after noon to-day an i'm
mense number of logs, filling the river
for space of nearly half mile long,
passed down. They are the property Of
Col John $. Prince, and came from
the st. Paul boom, this side of Mem
dota, where it is said there were 1900,
600 feet.
The residents of the flats are remov-
ing rapidly into shanties, etc., on the
east side. The fiat above the city is
covered with water. and the Sioux
City shops and stock yards are sur
rounded by water. Reports from the
upper river say it is rising at Brainard
and Atkins. The Minnesota river,
from which most of the flood comes, is
or falling to-day, and little
more rise is expected from that quar-
ter.
A dispatch from Montevideo, where
the most loss las been suffered, says:
The flood reached its full height yester-
day afternoon, and has now fallen one
foot and is going down at the rate of
an inch an hour. The Chippewa, five
miles up, has fallen until it is with
in the banks, but the Minnesota is very
high and backs its water on the Chip
pewa for few miles. The railroad
tracks and bridges have been washed
away in many cases.

The Intellectual Aptitude or the
EIhfIlsta.

Philadelphia, April 26.-The Ledger's
New York dispatch says: The nihilists,
communists, etc., with which Blocker,
Thompson and Amity streets. as well
the east side now literally swarm, may
be mad men, as many suppose they are,
but it must be admitted there is won-
derful method in their madness. 1t
was only on Friday last that copies of a
nfhilist manifesto sent to the czar,
demanding national assembly, the
right of public meeting, liberty of the
press, and other reforms, reached this
city by the English mails, yet, this
morning, a translation of the document
in German, French and Italian was to
be found on the little round tables at
which these polyglotic philosophers and
patriots sat to quaff their beer and
Rhine wine. Where these translations
were made or by whom are secrets
which they choose to keep to themselves.
1t is certain that with such evidence of
intellectual aptitude before us, these
people must have literary bureau
somewhere capable of excellent work
in its way.

New York, April 26.-The marriage
of Whitelaw Reid to the daughter of
D. o. Mills took place tonight at $3.50
at the residence of the BRIDES father,
Fifth avenue. The ceremony was
followed by reception, at which q
large number of distinguished guests
were present. The presents were
numerous and costly, the bride
receiving s5,OO0.0OO as .dowry.
The newly married couple will sail for
Europe the latter part of this week.
The ceremony was performed in the
front parlor. by the Rev. Mr.. Nor
gan, of the st. James Episcopal
church. The bride was given away by
her father. She wore white satin
trimmed with lace, a lace veil and dia-
mond ornaments. The bridesmaids
were Miss Thompson and Miss Reid.
They were dressed in white silk. There
was no best man. The ushers were
Ogden Mills. brother of the bride;
Clarence King, Augustus G. Gurnee,
and Charles $. Hurd. The parlors
were profusely decorated with flowers,
and there was music and supper by
Delmonico. About $50 persons were
present, among whom were Secretary
Blaine, Gov. Cornell, ex-Secretary Nc
Culloch and Miss McCulloch.
The wedding was intended to be
strictly private. and the invitations
were confined exclusively to personal
friends of the contracting parties. The
guests were in full dress, and the par
lors presented an animated appearance
when the party was at its height. The
rooms and Railways of the residence
were decorated with q profusion of rare
exotics intermingled with smilax. The
bridal presents were not exhibited.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reid held short recep.
tion after the ceremony was performed.

43, had to be removed to the hospital.
Adjoining the factory was sawdust
store house, about which large crowd
gathered the walls protecting them
from the heat while watching the fire
in the factory. Without warning an
explosion occurred, throwing the walls
over on the crowd and the flames swept
oyerthem dozen feet; there were show
ers of blazing saw dust spreading some
distance, which set fire to the clothing
of the women and children, who fed
shrieking from the place. The firemen,
police and others rushed to the aid of
the unfortunate ones who had been in
jured or buried beneath the falling
walls, most Of whom were boys. Loss,
SIS, 900; insurance. $4,000.

Washington, April 26.-Senator
Jones placed his democratic friends in
an unenviable position to-day by max
ing long speech in the senate, in
which he undertook to defend and JUS
tify human slavery in this country.
His speech wa an unwise one and DUR
ing its delivery some of the northern
democratic senators moved restlessly in
their seats and showed plainly that
they disapproved of the utteIanee of
such sentiments at this time.
The death of Representative O'Con-
ner, of South Carolina, this morning,
leaves two seats on the democratic side
of the house vacant.
Chairman Anthony has been request
ed to call meeting of the republican
caucus for tomorrow or Thursday.
The object of the signers of the call is
to procure the holding of some execu-
tive sessions to dispose of portion OF
the accumulated business.
President Garfield has appointed
John X. Boies, of Hudson, Mich, and
VIM. McMichael, of Philadelphia, as
members of the board of Indian COM
missioners.
A number of senators and represen-
tatives whose names have recently been
published as .'backers'' of some of the
contractors who obtained largely in
creased pay on star route contracts,
assert that great injustice has been
done to them by the use of any such
terms implying knowledge of or partic-
ipation in the alleged frauds upon the
government. They say they simply
joined in recommendations forwarded
to them by their constituents, and in
many cases earnestly endorsed by their
state legislature, for increased or expe-
dited mail service in portions of the
country apparently needing such addi-
tional mail facilities, and that they
were entirely. ignorant of the unwar-
ranted and extravagant allowances
nominally based upon these general
recommendations, but which were really
the result of maladministration and Of
collusion between department officials
and the contractors, in which they in
dignantly assert they had no part.n

The Alaska Mines FIxzling Out

San Francisco, April ga dispatch
from Victoria, British Columbia says:
The Colonist correspondent at Tako,
Alaska, writes disparagingly about the
new mines. He says the excitement
about the Tako mines is gradually sub
siding, and none of the old miners
have much confidence in them. About
70 or so miners .are reported to be on
the spot, but as the ice has not yet got
out of the ground very little has been
done.

The aIississ,ppI SIN Rising.

st. Paul, April 26.-The Mississippi
river has risen two feet since morning
and spread over the fats on the west
side Of the river to within foot of the
bluffs. Some houses on the low
grounds were surrounded by water, land
in . few cases the lower floors were
flooded. The st. Paul boom, two miles
above the city, went out at noon and
the logs went down the river. The
river is still rising.
Quincy, ILL.,, April 26-Specials from
Fall Creek, Rockport and other points
along the leyee, state that the river is
stationary to-day. No rise since mid
night. The water is now two inches
higher than during the great food Of
last year. The crevasse in the levee is
constantly widening and all efforts to
stop the break have been futile. The
water is steadily spreading over a vast
area, protected by an embankment, but
1t is impossible to estimate the extent
Of the damage. A strip Of highly cul-
tivated land from three to eight miles
wide and nearly Fifty miles long, is al
ready under water, and certain to be
destroyed to-day.
The G. B. u @. railroad track is un-
der water between Fall Creek and
Hrnnibal, and one of the trestle
bridges has been carried away. The
track Just below Quincy Is also badly
washed by the high water.
The Mississippi river just below this
city is now over ten miles wide. All
the bottom lands on both side of the
river are being flooded. This is very
fertile section and all sowe In wheat.
The Mississippi river has risen stead
lily all day, and stands, at Z o'clock, at
sixteen feet three inches above low wa

severe Comments ON Hayes Reform.
New York, April 27.-The Herald
says on the Star Route disclosures: We
have only one side of this melancholy
and depressing story, and reserve our
criticism until we hear from Mr.. Dor
sey. of whom we wish to have as good
an opinion as the gentleman who dined
with him the other day. We should
like also to hear from republicans like
Congressman Page, of California, and
$. b. Elkins, of New Mexico, but all
censure upon the sactimonious and hyp-
ocritical administration of Hayes, who
permitted such ring to exist.
The Times has scathing editorial
on tho reactionary influences at work
in the last administration and under
Garfield. During Hayes term the
treasury department was largely man.
aged to all intents and purposes to cor
ruptly further the political ambition of
the secretary The postofice depart
ment, where the old evils Of political
influence. interference of congressman
and senators, debasing traffic in votes
and expenditures had full swing, and
developed the amazing and humiliating
Star Route scandals which are now be-
ing exposed. The chief executive, at
whose hands the constitution places a
great body Of appointments, and who
could at any moment have dismissed
the cabinet officers who refused or
neglected to carry out his views, in ef-
feet, abdicated his Office for the benefit
of men who, whether selfshly and in
violation of public interest or not,
shaped the appointments with lite ref.
erence to the principles that had been
distinctly announced by their superior.

New York, April 26.-The box fac

eagerness to get out. The result was

The strike In 81. louis.

st. Louis, April 26.-The president
of two lines Of street cars having made
proposal Of compromise with the
striking conductors and drivers, being
at the rate of 12t cents for drivers and
10 cents for conductors per hour, three
or four of the strikers accepted, and
cars were started down Olive and
Market streets, manned mostly by ex-
ira men. Only a few cars had gone
when a crowd on Chestnut and Twelfth
streets stopped four cars and derailed
them and compelled them to go over
the rough pavement. and forced the
drivers to stable them. They spattered
with mud another car, smashed in the
windows, sent the team back to the
stable and refused to let the railroad
men touch it. A dozen policemen were
present, but were powerless, although
they arrested number of the leading
spirits Of the mob. A similar scene
occurred on Market street, between
Fourth and Fifth; the arrests here
were also unavailing to restore order.
The men on the cars were assailed with
vile and abusive Language, and the
railroad companies were denounced by
the mob.
Capt. Fox, with squad of mounted
police, kept the tracks clear enough for
the cars to pass, but could not prevent
the vile language and the active mud
slinging. His horse got knife thrust,
and he drew his pistol but did not use
1t on the ruffian.
Order prevailed at Q p. m., the streets
being pretty well cleared.
