Al TNEXPLTcABLR SILENCE


Considerable comment has been exhib.
tied by the mysterious silence of the Ger
man Government 10 regard to the death of
President Garfield. So far as we have
observed no messages of coincidence or
regret have been received from Berlin, and
that capital was almost alone in Europe in
refraining from the display of any tokens
of mourning. No adequate explanation of
this strange neglect has been offered. It
appears to have puzzled the American Ger
mans quite as much as anyone else. There
are certainly no reasons why the Emperor
of Germany should have withheld his
sympathy ON this occasion. The relations
between Germany and the United States
have always beer of the most friendly
character. When the Emperor William
was shot at and wounded our Government
hastened to express its regret and its abhor-
renee of the crime, and the American press
Joined with that of Germany in denouncing
the assassination. But neither Bismarck
nor his Imperial master appear to have
manifested the least interest in the death
of President Garfield, and everybody ia
asking why this is 50, and what can have
occurred to estrange from US a Government
which has always experienced the most
friendly treatment at our hands. The case
IS Of course the more marked because of
the emphatic and widespread demonstra-
tions of sympathy made by nearly all the
other European Governments and peoples.

THE DYEAMIrs EXPLOSION.

a carload of dynamite exploded mys.
teriously at Council Bluffs the other day
and wrecked the Rock Island Railroad
round house, at the same time destroying
fifty loaded freight cars, and making a
chasm in the earth twenty-five feet deep
aud fifty feet wide. The dynamite was
consigned to man at Denver, and had
been billed as common blasting powder
The Union Pacific, however, had refused to
carry it, and it had been taken back to the
Rock Island track, where it exploded. It
is to be hoped that the shippers of this
most dangerous explosive viii be discov-
cred and prosecuted. II happens that no
lives were lost by the explosion. though
the destruction OF property is said to
amount to several hundred thousand dol
lars; but of course the shippers took all
the chances of an explosion in crowded
depot. and they might just as easily have
been the cause Of the death of five hundred
persons as of the destruction of the round
hoase. No such quantities of high explo-
aives ought ever to be carried on a railroad.
and stringent provisions should be adopted
70 prevent the shipment of such matters
under false designations.

Partial Arrangement in Regard TO the

CHICAGO, September 27th-Tba Inter
Oceans Cleveland special says: On their
journey with the funeral train from Wash
ington, the Republican and Democratic Sem
ators discussed TIE political situation, and
fairly reached plan to adjust matters salts
factoEiiy in the Senate without q w,raugle
like that of last spring, which would shock
the country and be unseemly. The
arrangement WAS not to be bind
ing on those not present, but it
is believed that the participants
will accept the plan. Edmunds for the
Republicans, end Garland for the Democrats.
were originators of the talk, ard they notified
their party friends by mail and telegraph
that caucuses wolid be held October 8.h at
Washington by their respective parties, and
if the agreement was carried ont joint COM
mittee of five would be appointed to arrange
the details. The result of the agreement was
that ANTHONY, and some other Republican.
selected By the Republican caucus, should be
made acting Vice President pro tenn. without
dissent; that the Democrats name the Secre
tary of the Senate ian office now vacant), and
retain the present Sergsant-at-Arms or select
his successor. The present committees are
to be undisturbed. The Senate consists of
73 rnemhers-93 Democrats, 35 Republicans,
and Judge Davis, who will act with TIE Re-
publicans in organizing the Senate, in accord
ance with his speech last spring, in which be
claimed that the organization Of the Senate
should harmonic with the Executive. When
the Senators from New York and Rhode
Island are sworn in the Republicans will have
majority. There would, therefore, be no
reason or advantage in taking advantage of
the present situation.

The ApAcHEs.

The Apache rising appears to have been
put down with unprecedented swiftness.
The hostile Indians are said.to have nearly
all surrendered to the troops, or come in to
the reservation, not more than thirty-five
of them being still upon the warpath.
Whether this sudden collapse of what
threatened TO be a formidable outbreak is
due to the rapid and sagacicus movements
of the military, or to the refusal of neigh
boring Indian tribes to join the revolving
Apaches, cannot yet be determined. 1t is
certain, however, that it will have a good
effect for some time TO come, and If the
guilty Indians about to be tried receive
exemplary punishment, the tendency to go
on the warpath viii probably receive a
wholesome and enduring check.

Seamun,s Friend Society.

The annual meeting of the Ladies' Sea mans Friend society was held yesterday afternoon in the chapel of the North church, Rev. Dr.. Harwood presiding. The annual reports were read, showing an encouraging condition of the societys affairs, and that there was good and substantial progress in the good cause. The financial statement was also encouraging The amount of money received last year was $1, ,497.33. The churches gave $916 33 of this amount The balance came from miscellaneous sources. The expenses were $1, ,422. s. In the treas ury now are about seventy four dollars. Nearly all of this is already expended. The expenditures are those of the salary of the missionary Samuel thrasher, and his assist ant, and the current expense of running the Seamen's Bethel on East Water street. At the present time there is debt on the land where the Seamen's Bethel is built of $1 300. This the society hope to pay before next fall. Included in the report of the treasurer were the donations of clothing, books, etc., re- ceived during the year. Mir. Thrasher also made a report of the number of sailors assisted during the year, the slips furnished with books and papers, and the general work done at the Bethel.
 MT. Thrashers report had the following statistics: Visited about 1,2OO vessels. Dis tributed 30 Bibles and 100 Testaments in the English language, and five Bibles and five tes- taments in other languages. Have furnished 30 vessels with libraries, six of them this year, and six have been exchanged. Eighty six persons have publicly expressed desire to become Christians, 73 of them sailors. Two hundred and forty persons have signed the temperance pledge, TT of them sailors. The sailors boarding house project was spok en of as greatly needed, one conducted by the societ . Such home would pay, the re- port says; the number of vessels arriving here shows it. The report went into an esti mate of the cost, to show the plan was feasi- ble. The money could be raised. Faith was wanted. God was able to provide.
