SIMON CAN ERox's MISSION A Failure.
W AsurNeToN, ID. c., April -. Simon
Camerons mission here ended in a failure.
He wished to have the president withdraw
the name of Robertson in the interests of
harmony. He attempted to secure promise
which would have been a complete surrender
to the Conkling side.
THE Hor WAVE.
There is more reason to think to-day that
the deadlock will speedily be broken than
there has been at any time for six weeks
The President is reported to have said that
he was not much concerned about the means
for changing the situation in the Senate, but
should patiently wait for the thermometer
to rise. 1t has risen to lofty summer
height to-day. The mercury marked 81 de-
grees in the shade. and gives the senators a
warning that in this climate the season often
jumps from winter. 10 what in the North
would be called midsummer. 1t is by no
means impossible that the sun will be the
most efficient agency in solving the problem
in the Senate.
The PRoFo.Ep CArCr>.
No republican caucus has vet been called,
and one republican senator is reported rs
saving that he does not see the need of anv,
Curiously enough the same senator was re-
ported TO have been actively circulating the
call on Friday, to obtain the necessary num-
Der of signatures to call a caucus. So many
senators left suddenly Friday night, for New
York and elsew here. that il was not practical
BILE to have a caucus yesterday. and one prob
ably W ill not now be called before Tuesday
or Wednesday.
PROMISED SPEECH By GEN. HAwLEI.
Gen. Hawley of Connecticut expects to
speak on Tuesday. and will probably have
something TO say that will be interesting for
Senator Brown of Georgia to know.
Tux STAR RouTE SwINpLE.
All interested directly or indirectly in the
Star route scandal seems to be organizing to
bring pressure to bear upon the president,
to either stop the pending investigation,
or to push it with the least amount of vigor
allowable in view of the prominence which
the subject has reached before the public.
All the influences which great ring knows
so well how to use in Washington seems to
be rallied as a part of the force to operate
upon the president and other members of the
administration. Thus far. their efforts are
reported to have met with no shadow of sue
cess. and the understanding is that the in
vestigation of the matter will be carried for
ward with vigor, and that every person found
connected with it, high or low, will be pun
ished to the extent Of the law. The presi-
dent has been very firm in this matter from
the first day that the facts were laid before
him, and there is no reason to suppose that
he will yield an inch to the powerful infiu-
ences which are being brought to hear upon
him.

The New Management.

On Monday Gen. Herman Haupt, the
newly-appointed General Manager of the
North Pacific Railroad, formally assumed
the management OF the affairs Of his
office; Mr.. Sargent, whom hc succeeded,
having returned to Chicago. Gen. Haupt
needs no formal introduction to the peO-
pie of the Northwest, his admirable rec
ord, recently published, being sufficient
guarantee OF his ability as y manager, and
of the wisdom cvinced by his selection
and promotion. During his recent visit
to Bismarck, by his personal bearing he
impressed all who met him as being a
gentleman of broad and liberal views, and
accustomed 10 business like and thcr-
ough methods. His general order adj
dressed to all employees of The operating
department., already published, was a
model Of lis kind, and Il es assurance
that, while the faithful servants OF The
road will not be molested in the tenure of
their employment, nothing will be tolc-
rated that will impair their efficiency as
railroad men, endangcr the great inter
csts lrtrusted to them, or lmpvril the safe
ty OF the travelling public.
Under the new General Management,
the friends of the North Pacific may con
fi,lently look forward to increased pros
perity for the great corporation. 1t is t.,
be hoped that Manager Haupt may often
find 1t convenient and pleasant 10 pass
over The line, and Bismarck, one OF the
most ,entcrprising and widc-awakc cities
on the road, will ever extend to him a
hearty welcome.

OXFORD, Kss., May 2.-The coroner's
inques, upon the body Of Mrs. Amanda
Thompson, who died here very suddenly
last Wednesday, has resulted in quite a
sensation. The verdict is that she died
of apoplexy, from oil of tansy, taken for
the purpose Of producing an abortion, and
that the drug was procured by William
H. Richardson for that purpose, and ad
ministered to her by Richardson or Mrs.
Clara j. Ried, with knowledge of its use.
Richardson has been living here a"grass
widower," and Mrs. Rled has been keep
ing house for him, calling herself his sis
ter-in-law. Mrs. Thompson, who was a
beautiful grass widow, was kept about
for general convenience. 1t now trans
pres that Richardson's true name is VIM.
Reid, and that Mrs. Reid is his lawful
wife, married to him in 1868 at White
Hall, Mich. Soon thereafter he took the
name of Richardson, and decampcd with
his wife's younger sister, with whom he
lived and moved from place to place tor
ten years, but always ferretted out and fol
lowed by Mrs. Ried, with her two boys.
Mrs. Richardson then left, with her child.
He retained his assumed name, and she
was known as Mrs. Reid, the house
keeper.
Mrs. Thompson was finally called in as
a help, and relationed as paramour. A
post mortem examination revealed the
fact that she had been pregnant for tour
months. The paternity Of the child was
fixed on Richardson by the jury. Rich
ardson and Mrs. Reid were arrested upon
coroner's warrant, and their prelimina'
ry hearing set for May 10th. Mrs. Reid
gave hepds for her appearance, but Rich.
ardson is in Jail.

Won't ForEtvc Him.

WASHINGTON, May "a reporter of
the Western Associated Press visited the
White House and obtained the true vcr-
sion of the Presidents letter to Senator
Dawes. The President did not retain a
COPY; but the note was short. In the
first place, the President wrote that he
was in favor of free ballot and fair
count, not only in Virginia, but IN every
State; but he would not assist in elevat-
ing man who, as editor of a daily paper,
was constantly attacking and defaming
himself and his administration.
This referred to Gorham. editor of the
National Reporter, and nominee of the
Republicans for Secretary of the Senate.
The above is substantially all the letter to
Dawes contained. In it the President
said nothing about the pending nomina-
tlons in the Senate. On til is subject. how
ever, the President, says he sent all the
nominations to the Senate in good faith !;
that, if the Senate see fitlto pass some of
the nominations over, that is the business
of the Senate. But the President cannot
countenancc the movement or suggestion
for selecting Conkling nominations for
consideration, and leaving others unacted
upon. But. as to what the Senate shall
do he has nothing to say nor suggest.

ct Louis Floods.

ST.. LOUIS, May 5.-The report circulated
yesterday morning that the Ohio and
Mississippi railroad embankment had
broken about mile northeast of Clay de-
pot ives greatly exaggerated. There was
really no break at all but leak at an old
culvert which might have become serious
had it not been promptly attended to. A
number of men were Immediately put to
work and in short time the leak was
stopped. This embankment is the high
est that crosses the bottom-higher than
the flcod mark of 1874. It is relied upon
to save the town of east St. Louis from in
undation. 1t can stand an additional rise
of four or six feet. The water is still
rushing through the break of yesterday
and the Chicago, Baltimore & Quincy
dyke into Cahakis creek and spreading
out over the bottom. The current caused
by this break has swept away large
part of the embankment around the city,
and Gasometer, which is few yards be-
low the Chicago, Baltimore and Quincy
round house and exposed the foundation
to view. It also washed out some fifty or
sixty feet on one side of the embankment
running north from Clay depot on which
are several of the bridge company's tracks
and the track of the Indiana and st. Louis
railroad, undermining one of the tracks
and letting it into the water. A large
force of men were put to work at once
throwing rock and sinking timbers and by
o'clock last evening the embankment
was considered perfectly safe. All the
levees are being patrolled by careful
watchers. The trains of the Chicago and
Ohio railroad and of the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi.. and;\Yabash across the Slough
east of the island are partially submerged
but they are still being used to some ex-
tent and these roads will not attempt to
do full freight business just at present.
The main tracks of the roads from the
bridge in every direction are still in
tact and in good order. The Cairo mar
row guage which was broken below cast
St. Louis has been repaired and trains
are running again. The Cairo short line
is also again raising its trestle leading to
it's yards on the Island. The situation
on this side of the river is not materially
changed since Saturday. The principal
interest centers in east St. Louis inasmuch
"a the most danger to property exists
there.
