FORTY-sNTH CONGRESS.

- WASHINGTON, Jan. "a.
SESArE.-Messrs. Wallace and Pendleton
presented petitions for the passage of the
Reagan interstate commerce bill.
Mr.. Garland, from the Judiciary commit
tee, reported substitute for the bill provid-
ing for the distribution of the Geneva
award ; placed on the calendar.
Mr.. Logan asked unanimous consent to
take up and consider the bill placing General
Grant on the retired list. Mr.. Vest, of Mis-
souri,, objected. Mr.. Logan then moved to
Law aside the present order and proceed with
the consideration of the bill.
Mr.. Bayard suggested that it would be bet
ter to allow memorials which had been pre-
sented to be considered; memorials protest
ing against legislation in favor of any indi-
vidual, and asking that there should be a
general law giving to all men who had ever
occupied the great Office OF chief magistrate
of the United States pension commensurate
with the high Office they had filed.
He had no hesitation in saying that
in q popular government there should be
some provision against a popular caprice.
Mr. Logan said he did not wish to discuss
the subject of pensioning ex-Presidents in
connection with this bill, but as o recognition
of the services of great soldier. Where SO
many cases had been passed by the Senate,
the opposition to the bill looked more like
personal objection to it. He referred to the
action of England in its expression of graft
tude for Wellington and Nelson, and asked if
this country would do less for one who was
their equal. Only week ago the Senate had
passed a bill placing an officer on the retired
list higher than he ever was in the army. A
man was retired last year as a brigadier- gene
raj, and man in Oregon who had resigned
was made q colonel that he might go on the
retired list. He might recite case after case
where bills had been passed without objec-
ton merely because they were friends of the

New ORLEANS, Jan. 24.-The American
steamship Wanderer arrived last night from
Balize, Honduras, bringing the following in
telligence: Puerto Cortes was the scene of
a frightful railroad accident by which quite
number of people were killed and wounded.
The express, consisting of two passenger
coaches. a mail and one baggage car, run
ming at rate of twenty-five miles an hour,
while turning a curve in the Amour noun
tains known as the Golden Rock curve,
cleared the track owing to a misplaced rail
and was precipitated down valley seventy
feet. Nearly all aboard were either killed or
fatally wounded, great many bleeding to
death without any medical attendance. No
names were obtained by the purser, and no
other details save that the injured persons so

Vanderbilt Reaching Out for More

Vanderbilt Reaching Out for More
Monopoly.
New YORK, Jan. 24--The report that Van
derbilt had purchased from Gould every
share of his stock in the Union Pacific Rail-
road company was shown to Gould to-day
and he said it must refer to some other
Gould prominent broker, whose rela.
lions with Gould are well known, when
asked regarding the alleged transfer of Union
Pacific stock by Gould to Vanderbilt, said
81 am positive the story is not correct. 1t is
my opinion that no one man has controlling
interest in Union Pacific stock at this time.
Vanderbilt has large amount, say 30, 900 to
$4,000 shares Gould quite as many, Sidney
Dillon &c, 900 and August Belmont from 10,-
600 to 5000. The other shares are held by
different parties East and West" Other
gentlemen equally well posted corroborated
the above, but expressed the belief that Van
derbilt was making strong effort to secure
controlling interest IN the great trans
continental line and would undoubtedly sue
coed in his scheme.

DUBLIN, Jan. 24.-In the Court of Queen s
Bench to-day there was a vast crowd present.
Mr.. Parnell was also in attendance. Judge
| Fitzgerald, in charging the jury in the case
of the crown against the traversers, compli-
| mented both the prosecution and the defence
| in their conduct of the trial. He said he con-
sidered that the Land Leaguers exasperated
the different classes and referred in strong
language to the men who, failing to be indus
trious in Ireland, had emigrated to America
with no better result than to fail in that
country also. Ireland therefore had the mis-
fortune to receive back again these New York
loiterers.
Bands of armed people are parading the

flags are being carried in the professions.
LONDON, Jan. 24.-In the House of Com

curtailed. They were blackguards and would
be arrested on the Lord Lieutenants war
rant as persons accused but not as convicted.
Mr.. Forster, in the course of his speech,
threatened to arrest Fenians, when, he said,
the rufians would disappear. The bill, he
said, was not coercive, but protective. The
government would, however, introduce re-
forms of the land system.
An alarm has been given that the Chelsea
and Wellington barracks were to be attacked
by Fenians 1t apparently is much the same
kind of scare as at Birmingham yesterday
Precautions, however, have been taken
against surprise.
DIR. Lyons, member for Dublin city, Lib
eral, moved an amendment to Mr. Forster's
bill. A stirring debate followed, during
which Mr.. O'Donnell called Gladstone trail.
tor to his country. A very lively scene en-
sued. The Speaker ordered Mr.. O'Donnell
to withdraw his remarks which O'Donnell
refused to do. Sir Richard A. Cross insisted
upon proper respect for the House. Anoth-
er scene ensued, when O'Donnell withdrew
his obnoxious phrases and further debate
was adjourned.
The Home Rulers are massing for a des-
perate opposition to Mr.. Forster's bill.
The Moderates will unite with Parnell in
opposing the coercion bill. The Tories will
refuse to support the clotue. The Times
supports Mr.. Forster's bill and urges Liberal
unity.
There are rumors that Mr. Gladstone is
seriously i'll and his physicians are much
alarmed at his condition, and also that the
peerage have been advised.

LONDON, Jan. 24.-The recent inclement
weather added to the severe winter as
whole, taken together with the unhappy state
of things politically throughout the British

ecy named is an Interpolation into the orig
inal prophetic rhyme of Mother Shipton and

The situation is such as to depress the popu-
lar feeling, and especially among the unset
entifc, who constitute as matter of course
the great majority. Dismal predictions are
interchanged and discouraging old stories
unearthed and retold with new and melan-
choly zest. If all mundane affairs do not
terminate this year, it is certain that the
present winter will be long remembered for
the trouble and suffering which have attend
ed it in Great Britain.
