MATTERS AT WASHINGTON.
Stanley Matthews' TribuIatiOn-The
Brazilian NIfssIOn-Brady's Game
of BIuh-The Washington West
moreland Monument.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-At the urgent
request of Stanley Matthews friends, the
Senate Judiciary Committee held meeting
to-day to consider his nomination, but after
waiting two hours only bare quorum was
present, and no action was taken on the
case. Conkling and Logan remained away
and did not send any excuse. Matthews
was anxious to get his case before the Sen
ate at the first executive session.
The threat of Brady that he has preserved
all the recommendations of the members of
Congress for the increased star service, and
will present them in his defense, is consid-
cred very weak. Congressman, in behalf of
their constituents, Of course urged addi-
tional mail facilities, as has always been
done, but they did not have anything to do
with putting the increase in operation, and
naturally expected 1t to be done legitimate
ly: This threat is considered as bluff.
Congressman Monroe, of Ohio, is to
be appointed Minister to Brazil, so it is
stated on good authority.
At the last session of Congress an act was
passed appropriating $50, 900 to erect a
monument to the memory Of George Wash
ington at his birthplace in Virginia. Just
before Secretary EVarts retired from the
State Department design for the monu.
ment was submitted to the department by
Howe & Dodd, Boston architects, but nc
action was taken until to-day, when Secre.
tary Blaine authorized the architects to pre-
pare working drawings and an estimate OF
| the cost of the erection. II it is found that
the estimate will admit of the erection OF
the monument for the sum appropriated, the
design as submitted will probably be ac
cepted by the State Department, under
whose supervision the work is to be done
Mr.. Howe left here this afternoon to visit

The Situation at Council BIuhs-Se-
r1Ous ApprehensIOns.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, April 23.-The
situation of the river at this point continues
to grow worse. 1t is not only serious but
desperate. The water has been rising at the
rate of an inch an hour all day, and the en-
tire bottom lands are inundated to depth
of from one to six feet. The tracks of all
the railroads leading to the Union depot
are under water from two to three feet, and
no passenger trains run to or from 1t, all
stopping at the city local depots. The
Union Pacific track has been washed
out for several hundred yards, and
platforms have been erected over the water
for the transfer of passengers and baggage
The river tonight is four or five inches
higher than it was ever known to be before.
No up trains have arrived or departed from
this city to-day, as a bridge was washed
away on the Elk Horn river, in Nebraska.
The trouble will probably be over to-mor-
row. Trains from all directions are arriving
late and irregularly, and are using each
others tracks to get to the city. Reports
from up the river are to the effect that the
river is still rising, and they occasion con-
siderable apprehension here.
The situation of the flood at this point
continues to grow more and more serious,
as the water has been rising all day. The
river now extends from the bluffs to the
width of about eight miles. A large por-
tion of the southern part of the city is
inundated, fully five hundred houses being
surrounded. No trains reached here from any
direction this morning, the only trains in on
the Rock Island and Burlington Railroads
being compelled to stop several miles be-
yond the city limits and transfer their pas
sengers by wagons and boats. Communica-
tion between this city and Omaha was sus-
pended to-day. There are between five and
six hundred strangers in the city weather
hound.

PANAMA, April I3.-Affairs In the Peruvi-
an capital and throughout that distressed
country generally are in a worse condition
now than was considered possible six weeks
ago. Sensible people looked to the nomins-
ton of Senior Calderon, a patriot and
estimable man, as provisional Presi-
dent as offering a possible ave.
nue. of escape from the tremendous
difficulties in which they were involved.
They presumed that the new government
would not fail to win the support of all
departments of the country, but this hope
has been bitterly disappointed. Arequippa,
where only a visible remnant of Peru's milf
tarY power Is now to be found, a
seven thousand men, half OF whom
have no arms with which to oppose resist
ance to the Chilians, has declared in favor
Of the dictatorship of Pierola and an
nounced war to the bitter end with Chilli.
Puira and several other departments have
followed the same example, while the mu-
nicipality of Lima itself has not hesitated to
increase the confusion and disorder by open
ly resisting certain recent DEGREES OF the
new President. II they continue to oppose
pacification, there appears to be no other
future before the country than continued

IRELAND'S WOES.
An Intelligent IrIshman's Views OF
the Situation.

New YORK, April 24.-At Land League
meeting In Brooklyn to day Patrick Rogers, a
gentleman recently from Ireland, who is
well acquainted with the affairs of the
League in that country, read speech from
manuscript which he had prepared on the
subject. He said that he knew from per-
sonal observation that the Land League is
fourishing in Ireland, and that the people
are united in their determination
to resist all exorbitant demands for
rent. The people must have
the ''sinews of war;" and If they can obtain
moral and material assistance from America,
and that is the land they mainly rely upon,
they will succeed. Mr.. Rogers further
said that Irishmen had been largely in
strumental in bringing the Liberal Ministry
into power, and that the Ministry which had
been so deeply trusted had brought in the
coercion bill. He argued that it was use
less for the Irish to attempt violence, as
there were forty-five thousand soldiers, not
to mention police, in Ireland, all organized

GEDDINGs, TEX, April 23.-At Yegua,
eight miles from here, yesterday morning,
Mr.. Wesson shot and dangerously wounded
his wife and Mr.. Henson, at whose house
she was stopping, having obtained divorce
for I'll treatment. Sheriff Brown, with a
posse, has gone to Yegua to bring him in
dead or alive. Wesson has five sons, all
brave men, and, as the Sheriff's posse are
equally brave and determined, serious
trouble is anticipated.
GEDDINGs, TEXAS, April 24-Sheriff
Brown and the posse who went in pursuit of
Wesson, who shot his wife and neighbor
named Henson, reached Wesson's premises.
After fruitless search, Wesson appeared
from the barn, refused to surrender, and
opened fire on Brown and his posse
with q shotgun and six shooter,
when he was shot down, mortally wounded,
with five shot in his body. He even tried
to shoot again, and died with the shotgun
cooked in his hand. Wesson had driven
his five sons from home. He is thought to
have been insane.
