London, April LIN the commons
Gladstone said: cannot give any posi-
tive information as to whether England
will be represented at the conference.
The Times, commenting Oh the in
structions to the Austrian representa-
tives, says: The statement is, much less
decided in tone than the promoters of
the conference had led the people to ex-
pect. If Austria's leaning to bi-metal-
lism is only to be displayed in the event
Of England agreeing to bi-metallic
proposal, it is evident that the Austrian
tendency to bi-metallism will not count
for much. The prospect of the confer
ence having any result depends not upon
the chance Of faninternationa agreement
to adopt bi-metalism, which is out of
the question, but upon the willingness
of the United States and the countries
Of the Latin Union to adopt it them
selves for a term of years and be con-
tent with the engagement that Ger
many will not sell any silver for that
period and by England to maintain the
silver standard in India, one of these
lines Of arrangement seems possible.
The belief prevails in London that such
arrangement will be made, but the
hesitation of Austria is proof of the diff
ficulties in the way of the project for a
universal bi-metallism. The instruc.
tion to the Austrian representatives
were to take a neutral standpoint, but
with slight inclinations toward BIZ
metallism, this tendency, however, to
be shown in that case Germany and
England incline to the same view.
Lord Cairns CritIcixes Gladstone.
The first attack on the governments
policy In Transvaal was made by Lord
Cairns, conservative, in the house of
lords last night, he alluded to the an
nouncement in the queens speech in
opening parliament, that the authority
from the crown would promptly be
vindicated in Transvaal, and asked
whether the authority of the crown had
been vindicated at all. He entertained
grave doubts that in thus shrrendering
the territory, the perogative of the
crown had not been stained. He en-
phatically protested against handing
hundred thousand British subjects
back to as bad system of slavery as
ever existed in the world. He argued,
we had no security that the Beers
would accept the decisions of the royal
commissions, and asked, how we were
to enforce them il the Beers didn't ac-
cept them, when our reinforcements
quilted the country, as, lie said, by
terms of peace. Ammunition should
not be supplied to the garrisons in
Transvaal, as they would be merely

The Union Pacific all Right Again.

Omaha, April 1.-The Union Pacific
road will tomorrow resume the running
of its trains regularly over its own
road, all damage to the track on the
eastern division caused by the recent
floods having been completed this after
noon, and the road is now once more
in good shape. The expected rise in
the Missouri river has not yet reached
here, the river not having risen any
since yesterday, and it is believed that
the Yankton flood will not effect the
river any here.
1t froze very hard here last night, and
considerable ice was formed in the
river and it has been floating down all
day.

and the Democratic sena-
tors.

Washington, April IA leading
democratic senator says the democrats
cannot afford to vote for Robertson's
confirmation, with both of the New
York senators against it, and that in
no instance has any confirmation ever
been made when both senators from
the state where the appointment is to
be made, have said to the senate that
the nominee is personally Objectionable
to them. This senator believes that
nearly all the democrats will be found
voting with Conkling.
The friends of VIM. E. Chandler
assert positively that he does not intend
to ask the president to withdraw his
nomination; If it is done, it will be the
presidents own act. His friends in the
senate feel confident of his con6rma-
tion when vote is reached.

captured redoubt from a company of
the Transcapian troops, who lost their
commander and 80 killed and Al
wounded. The Turcomans here cap
tured two mountain guns, all the gun
ners were killed at their posts. The
Russian reserve recaptured the redoubt
and one of the guns, but the Turcomans
dragged away the other gun which,
however, had previously been rendered
useless. The enemy retreated with
great loss to within short distance of
the fortress. The total Russian loss
was one officer and 81 men killed, 5
officers and 96 men wounded. The
seige works were completed during the
night. The Russian mortars threw

ceeding.

action taken yesterday in Chicago by
the grand lodge of northwest independ-
ent order of Brai Birth, which voted
not to grant charter to the Russian
Jews in division No. 6, for the organiz-
alton Of lodge in that city. The
Russian Polish Jews based their appli-
cation for a special charter on, the
ground that they were formed into a
religious association distictiye from the
Bayarian, Prussian. Polish or Austria
liam Polish Jews. and their claims hase e
been carefully considered by the lead
ing officers Throughout the country.
Had the grand lodge of the north

similar application would have been
made to corresponding body in this

New York, Jan. 19.-The Tunes
washington special says. The COVER
nor of Nevada in transmitting the vote
of that state on the Chinese question to
Viee-President Wheeler, accompanied
it with communication which he de-
sired to be laid before the senate with a
view Of securing more stringent regula-
tions in reference to Chinese immigra-
tion than is provided in the treaty be-
tween the United States and China re-
Gently communicated to the senate by
the president.
The Herald concludes in an editorial
on what it terms the non-compoop
New York merchants, who have been
inveigled into signing the petition to
the senate against the Chinese treaty,
with the following language: We hope
their names may be published in order
that they may receive the kind of COM
pliments which are due to their peculiar
zeal for the American trade.
Other Objections to the Treaty.
An evening paper has the following
Washington special: The senate COM
mittee on foreign relations is finding
serious objections to the Chinese treaty
in reference to immigration. The
trouble with it is that the language is
so obscure that it is susceptible of vari-
GUS interpretations. 1t gives the United
States the sole power to regulate the
immigration of laborers, making excep-
tion of other classes of Chinese citizens.
Unfortunately there Is nothing in the
language to define what shall be meant
by laborers. 1t does not appear whether
merchants or artisans are to be in
cluded or not. Under the language
used the Chinese government might
claim that cigar makers, or laundrymen
or carpenters, or expert miners, or
blacksmiths or any other similar class
were not debarred from coming here.
This evidently does not meet the diff
Guilty, since the chief objection to the
Chinese has come from such tradesmen
as cigar makers, shoe makers, etc., who
claim that they cannot compete with
the Chinese labor.
Another thing has been overlooked.
As n0mention ismade of females some
ofthe committee think there will have
to be an effort made to modify the
language so as to bo made explicit on
these points even if the matter has to
be referred back to the commission for
further consideration by them and the
Chinese government. The majority of
the committee are so anxious. however,
to get the matter settled in some shape
at an early day that they are disposed
to strain point of construction to ac-
cept the document.
