Channel Tunnel.

LONDON, March 1S.-The channel tunnel
controversy continues not less actively,
though less publicly. Sir Edward Watkins
rivals accuse him of misleading the large
parties that were recently invited to inspect
the tunnel, alleging that the borings are not
carried under the sea as was generally sup
posed, but along the shore. 1t Is doubtful,
notwithstanding the denial Of the same
charge, whether troublesome character has
not been reached in the qualification. Tile
opposition Of the military authorities to any
tunnel whatever Is still uncompromising, ex-
cept with Sir Garnet Wolsley's personal en-
emies. The general dislike for the scheme
Is increasing rather than diminishing. To-
days visit Of Mr.. Gladstone and large
party Of Members of parliament indicates a
readiness for inquiry, if not an approval Of
the project.

Edmunds Will Make 1t Strong


NEW YoRK, March 15.--The Graphic's
Washington correspondent says there is great
diversity Of opinion among lawyers in Con-
gress as TO the practical value of the Ed
munds pelygamy bill. Haskell thinks there
is substantial merit In it, but many Repub-
licans, like Burrows, hold that it is doubtful
IL the Edmunds bill will In the end be eff
fectuai. 1t is feared that the Mormons Will
eyade the object of the measure by electing
a legislature of polyganist sympathizers, even
If actual polygamists be kept out. Express
sions--of apprehension are heard also that
there is lack of provision for carrying it into
effect and filling again certain offices which it
yacates under the eighth section. 1t Is un-
derstood that the author Of the bill, Mr.. Ed
munds, apprehended some such defect In
the bill aud intends TO provide for it by sup
Elemental legislation. He stated to broth
er Senator to-day that he intended to intro
duce two other bills providing machinery for
enforcing this bill, If they met the approval
of the Senate. He thought that all the de-
fects will be obyiated.
Burrows's House bill las been reported
favorably from the committee, and Edmunds'
measuree will probably be tackled on to 1t,
rather than to have tive bills independent of
each other. Edmunds Is understood to be-
lieye that less antagonism would be encoun-
tered by the measures separately or he would
have simplified the original bill. At any
rate, If the bill passed defective, the spirit of
Congress is such that 1t will in all probable
ity be made effective before they are done
with IL

THE MISSISSIPPI FLOODS.
The People PIueky and Honest.

VICKsBURG, March 21.-The basin of the
Sunfower river, 200 by 40 miles, and en-
braeing six nayigable streams, is entirely
submerged. The population of the basin is
over 100000, and is one Of the best cotton
districts in the South. Water in parts of the
basin is encroaching upon the house tops,
the people escaping on RATS.
At Gains Landing rations are only given
out when the boat is hailed or when the peo-
pie are known TO be in actual need. So far
there has been none here who manifested
any disposition to impose on the Govern
ment in this mission Of charity. Many a
planter was found like Jamison, "on cold
water" "Dont put pound off at any
place." he said, 81 can get my people
through this. They are all safe up on the
Gin house, but there's lots of poor people
above that will starve to death unless help
gets to them" It's a matter of pride with
the large planters to get along independent
ly, and at the same take care of ''their peo-
ple," as they term the negro servants. Some
of them have to ask for a little help, but
only to tide them over until they can get
supplies from Vicksburg.
Another planter, George w. Starr, refused
TO take anything in the way Of supplies, but
begged for a newspaper, saying che would
rather have paper than a barrel of -four"

The Garfield -Rosecrans SANDER.

The Garfield Rosecrans SANDER.
PITTSBURGH, March 15.-General James
s. Negley, who was during the rebellion a
division commander, and also one of the sew
enteen Generals mentioned by Garfield in
the Chase letter, was interviewed to-day
lie said he deplored the so-called Garfield
and Rosecrans controversy. +" / sum up the
whole case TO be about as follows: General
Garfield wrote freely TO his friend, giving ut
terance to his hopes and political views,
without the slightest intention Of doing in
justice to his superior, and II was only In af-
ter years this untimely and unfortunate
letter became a source Of unexpected irIita-
ton, and to-day 1t attains its chief proper
tions In the ill.advised attempt to glorify the
already illustrious memory Of President Gar
field at the expense of the feelings and honor
of his living comrades. That he would con-
denim ii living, I am certain. That every
true friend Of his condemns the act | am
certain; and every lover Of justice and truth
should hesitate to deprive General Rosecrans
Of the credit he deserves for the achieve
ment of the army under his command at
Stone River and Tulahola. General Car
field was at that period of his life more of a
politician than soldier. He had lately left
the Ohio Senate, where he had taken very
active and aggressive part In the political Is
sues grown out of the war. and 1t was quite
natural he should sympathize with this sise
Of the question. lie had grown TO be famil-
lar with the cry, On TO Richmond aud
deemed ii necessary requirement on the
part of general officers to satisfy public i'm
patience at home"

THE CHINESE BILL PASSED.

A telegram dated Washington, Thursday,
5:i5 p. m, and received here ut 1886 p. m,
says the Senate Chinese bill had passed the
House by vote of IT to G5, without amend
ment. This brings it to the action Of the
President. IL he approves IL, the bill will
become law at once. If he does not, he
must disapproye 1t within ten days or the
bill will become q law by constitutional
limit. Although II Ia asserted its provision
OF twenty years prohibition of immigration
Ii not in accordance with the spirit of the
treaty, we do not believe the President will
iEterpose veto. We have no copy
of the treaty, but cannot believe
after the veto of former bill for conflict
with treaty stipulations, the opponents Of
Chinese immigration would imperil their
measure by extending II TO period of time
that would invite It's defeat, while half that
time would be In accordance with the treaty.
And yet, this appears to be the ground on
which much objection was based. II Is to be
hoped no veto will be interposed as the vote
shows the bill cannot be sustained against
such action.

SERGEANT MAsoN's CRIME.

The conviction of Sergeant Mason, an en-
listed soldier Of the United States Army, for
firing at Guiteau, the assassin Of President
Garfield, when he was being placed on guard
over him, has elected some remarkable ex-
presslons and sympathies from portions of
The American press and people. Sergeant
Mason was guilty Of the crime charged; was
so found and 80 sentenced. 1t was not
shown that he was OF unsound mind, or that
he had any special provocaticn 10 the act.
While, therefore, we regard the sentence as
severe one, his conviction and sentence
was just ana right, and he should be pun
ished. He was rs cranky as Guiteau. IL
was not his business as a soldier to.deter-
mine as To Guiteau's guilt or crime. In
taking the oath OF soldier he assumed an
obligation as sacred rs that OF the Judge or
Jury who tried the assassin, and while on
guard over him should have shielded the
assassin's life With his own, II necessary, In
the discharge Of his duty as soldier. He
violated the law OF the land, his obligations
as soldier, and the discipline Of the army.
lie should be punished, and no sentiment
should intervene TO prevent IL. Ifheis sus-
tanned and commended for his crime, why
should Guileau be hung for his? or why
should not any officer In charge Of muir
derer shoot him down or cut his throat when
opportunity offeredp To condone Mason's
crime ID to condemn all law, order and dis
ciplinc. In our deteststion of the assassin
We should not forget that be 10 subject to the
law, has been tried and found guilty by the
law, and will make such expiation ~ the
Law provides for bis crime. Until that expi-
tstion Is made he Ia entitled TO The protec-
tion OF the law, and II not TO be murdered
nor his attempted murder excused. One
crime does net excuse another.

Chicago Workman orr Their Base

Chicago Workman or Their Base
CHICAGO, March 20.-A mass meeting of
the Trades Assembly yesterday adopted res
olutious denouncing the Governor of Ne
braska for calling out the militia against the
Omaha strikers. A platform was adopted
declaring that every workingman should join
union which should fix wage rates, de-
nounciug sscabs,' the Chinese and those
who patronze them, denouncing interfer-
ence by an army, police or militia with
their attempts to regulate wages, insisting
on low rents in Chicago, and deploring the
demoralized andvenal character of the press,
and declaring that the people should rise and
regulate things. The following is the
Chinese plank; That 'sscabs" shall be treated
as traitors and enemies to those who raise
and maintain the standard of life, SO as 10
afford the greatest good TO the greatest num-
Der; that the Chinese in their capacity o
sssca5sn and aliens must not settle among
people which tends to an industrial self
government. We detest all men who pat
ronize Chinese laundries, and hope the
Chinese nuisance will soon be abated.

SECRETARY OF INTERIOR.
Rumor that Teller, OF Colorado, is to be
Appointed.

WASHINGTON, March 22.--Some assert
that Teller's nomination for Secretary Of the
Interior will be made to-day or tomorrow.
Teller said he did not hurry his appointment
because he was waiting TO hear from Color
ado. Some assert that Chaffee's influence is
pushing Teller, SO that ChatIee may succeed
to the Senate by the aid OF Gov. Pitkin, who
would appoint Teller's successor. There is
much pressure on the President In favor of
ChafTee as Secretary of the Interior, bur the
Republicans Of Colorado oppose him bitter
ly. Some of Kirkwood's friends are salts
fed he is to retire. Teller is acceptable to
the stalwarts, who have been talking much
with him lately. Fifteen Republican Sena-
tors have applied for Teller's seat.

ACCIDENT onrHE NORTHERN PACIFIC
Two Trains Go Through . Bridge~--Thirit
Persons Killed and Many Injured.

BISMARCK, March 2l.--News reachedhere
at eleven o'clock tonight Of terrible wreck
ct Sweetbrier, about forty miles west of here,
on the Northern Pacific railroad. An engine
came here from Mandan for physicians and
assistance to attend the sufferers in the wreck.
The wires are down between Bismarck and
Mandan, but II was stated by the engineer
from Mandan that Black Jacks work train
bound west went through the bridge, and
the passenger but little way behind fol-
lowed. Thirty persons are reported killed
and many more injured. All the physicians
to be found In this city have just started on
special engine for the wreck. Full particu-
lars at this writing are impossible.
BISMARCK, March 22.-The scene Of the
Mandan accident on the Northern Pacific
railroad, in eleven miles west of Bismarck
in Soapstone cut, Sweetbriar creek. The
train was swork train" having lot Of
sleeping cars for workmen, and had about
fifty men in all on board, and was going ten
miles an hour. A wheel on the head truck
of the fat car broke and the whole train
jumped the track, aud dragged along until
the bridge was reached, when the first sleep
er, which had twenty-four men in, was pre-
cipitated into the river, thirty feet below,
striking on Its side. The second sleeper fol-
lowed in the same way; then the din
ing car and kitchen car tumbled down and
were broken into splinters. The bedding OF
No. sleeping car caught fire at once, and
the dying sufferers we've nearly roasted alive
All the deaths were In this car. Those who
escaped tried vainly to put out the flames
IL is believed seven Of the eight killed were
dead or unconscious before the flame:
reached them. Only one voice was heard
crying "help," and no help could be given
him, and he gradually roasted to death.
The killed were A. L. Johnson, I. w
Wilson, William Watson, Thomas Grady
George Moser, James O'Brien, William Nc
Andrews and an unknown man. Only two
of the others were seriously injured. The
coroner found nobody to blame for the acct
dent. The dead were inferred here and the
sick are being tenderly cared for.

THE POLITICAL SCANDAL.
Rosecrans Tells How He Was Misrepre-
scnted.

New YORK, March 20.--The Herald fol-
lows up the difference between Garfield and
Rosecrans In an interview with the latter, In
which he says in regard to the alleged speech
in California giving umbrage to Garfield:
"There was no speech of mine which could
be tortured into anything injurious TO the
character Of Garfield. l presided at the
Democratic ratification meeting at which p.
L. Walsh, in . very temperate speech, re-
viewed the conduct of Garfield In the Credit
Mobilier business, as revealed in the finding
of the Poland Commission. There was moth
ing in his speech of violent character
certainly nothing to call for the interference
of the chair. The Chronicle the next morn
ing, and the Gail, reported the speech-both
Republican papers-calling attention to the
fact that the presiding officer on the occa-
sion was Rosecrans, formerly Commander of
the Army of the Cumberland, and inquired
how | could listen to abuse of the Chief of
staff of that army in the face of the compli-
mentary order | had issued on relieving him
from duty? | answered in card stating, in
substance, that it was Garfield's political
conduct, and not his military career, that
was under discussion; that there had been
no occasion for interference from the chair;
that l could not be expected to vouch for the
present standing of every officer whose con-
duct in the field had called for my commen-
Nations In orders or official reports, and that
many young men of high moral character
seventeen years ago were to-day inmates of
penitentiaries, convicted of theft. did not
allude to Garfield, nor did consider him a
thief who ought to be in the penitentiary.
But the irrepressible reporters, who are al
ways hunting up sensation, telegraphed to
the eastern papers that Rosencrans had de-
nounced Garfield as thief who ought to be
in the penitentiary.n
