Death OF Ex-Governor Washburne,
EUREKA SPRINGS lark May 14th.-Hon.
G. G. Washburne. ex-member Of Csugress and
ex Governor of Wisconsin, died here at $50
this afternoon, of paralysis and Bright's dis
ease. He came here on the 4th of February,
in the hope of being benefited by these
waters. In about two weeks be began rapid
ly to improve, and his friends INDUCED the
hope of his recovery. Two weeks ago he
| commenced to fail, and on the 9Th instant
was seized with delirium, and never sgsin
| became fully rational. although he had occa.
sionally but brief, lucid intervals. On the
evening OF the 9Th Instant he had an attsck
of apoplexy, which was the third or fourth
since his original attack, and his case became
utterly hopeless but the final crisis came at
2 o'clock Saturday morning, the 18th Instant,
| when he was struck with death. He fell
into state ofprofound Inconsistencies, and
| fingered thus until he died.
The Tariff Commission,
| WASHINGTON, May 14th.-The President
said to friend yesterday that the most diff.
cult appointments he had yet been called
upon to make were the members of the Tariff
| Commission. He appreciated the necessity
| for the immediate selection of the Commits
sioners. tits believed that the President has
abandoned all idea of giving special interests
representation on the Commission. There
are only nine Commissioners to be chosen,
and it would be impossible, without making
invidious distinctions, to select men repre-
senting special branches of industry. It is
settled that majority of the Commission
will be protectionists, probably of q
moderate order. The Chairman of the
| Commission is likely to be ex.Secretary
Kirkwood, of Iowa. He fsvors tariff for
revenue only, but it is thought that his gen.
ersl reputation for fairness, and his identity
with the agricultural interest of the West,
will make him desirable member of the
| Commission. 1t has been practically de-
cided to make Edward Atkinson, of Boston,
the great authority On textiles, member of
the Commission: although it is possible that
a change may be made in New Epglanos
representative before the nominations are
sent to the Senate. The South, Middle
States, Northwest and probably the South.
west will be represented, although the Mid.
| die States may get preponderance of Com
missioners. The Pacific coast will not, as
| your correspondent is advised, be represented
on the Commission.
| The Production OF Quicksilver.
| WASHINGTON, May 14.h.-Consul Mosby
reports to the State Department that the est.
mated stock of quicksilver on hand in Hong.
kong is $500 TASKS, and that the amount inn
| ported during 1881 was IA 010 TASKS, at $50 rs
to $50 per pioul. Mosby says the consump-
tion per month is estimated at about 1000
| TASKS in the manufacture of vermilion.
Prices are governed by speculative transac.
lions, and are consequently unsteady, at on Q
time being run up as high as 500 per picul.
In the consular report just issued. Ferdina and
| Vogeler, Consul General at Frankfort-on-t the
Main, makes statement regarding quick
silver in Europe. He says the production for
| the world in 1879 was 123, 600 TASKS, Caiifor-
mia making $4,000, Almaden, Spain, 40 900,
| ard Idria, Austria, 10, 900 TASKS. In 1875,
California produced more than one-half of all
the quicksilver consumed in the world Voge.
Ter says: Owing to the excess of produc.
duction over consumption. brought about by
the development of California mines, the
general tendency of the market seems TO be
downward, although the interests of the
Rothschilds Of London, who control the A..
MAIDEN mines. Is to maintain the price,"

ing of Price, which he Davenport) had
obtained from w. II. Barnum, Chairman Of
the National Democratic Committee, He
had also the correspondence that passed
between Price and Barnum, Prices receipts
for money received from Barnum, and other
original papers, which will soon afford q
chapter of interesting reading, and explain
fully the whole Lindsay iniquity. When
Davenport confronted Price with these docu.
ments he wiltsd, and intimated that he too
had trunk full of papers, and if he had
been "given away" he could retaliate and
make some other people as uncomfortable
as ne was. This was exactly
what Davenport expected and desired,
and o later interview was arranged
for at the Queen City Hotel. Price, however,
failed to come, and Davenport took the next
train for Washington, where he was CUES.
toned in regard to the matter, but said that
while he would neither affirm nor deny the
truthfulness of the newspaper reports in
question, he would say that he had not given
and would not give anything to the press for
publication in this connection. Davenport
wants nothing of Price but confession, and
that confession will come sooner or later, for,
as Davenport says, Price NAV squirm, but
he is bound to come into camp"

of the vessel. The baggage of the passen.
gers was taken ashore. The Captain instru-
ments were also removed, and the cabin
drawers cut open and all the goods possible
