DOINGs IN THE REICHSTAG.


DEhLANs 2hns
In the Reichstag today the debate on the
bill to render a special snti-socialist law was
resumed. Herr Richter pronounced the Law
a failure. Herr Won Pultkammer, Prussisn
home secretary, disagreed with Richter.
Prince Bismarck spoke IN defense of the bill.
He referred to the motion made by DIR. Wind
thorst in 1881, providing for the adoption of
an international measure regarding the pun
ishment ofregicides, and read letter written
by Emperor William on the occasion of the
assassination of Gar Alexander, showing
that the Emperor had proposed such meas
ure before DIR. Windthorst.
Russia and Austria were in favor of an in

The negotiations we're now confined to Ger
many and Russia. The government could
not make the law more lenient than it was
now, but hoped through social reforms to
give workmen their due, namely, work. If
another parliament should reject the bill the
government would be exonerated of all re-
sponsibility. and could regard the further
development of social democracy With quiet

JEANETTE INVESTIGATION.
Lieutenant Danenhower Before the In.
vestigating Committee.
WAsHIxGroN.M MAY 8

WAsHISGToS. May 9.
L. Danenhower was recalled by the jean
nette investigating committee today, and
spoke in high terms of the officers and crew
Mrs. Emma, widow of Capt. DeLong, testified
that her husband studied the provision lists
of other Arctic expeditions before selecting
the provisions for the ,Ieannette, and tried to
secure the best. His idea vas that the Off
GERS and crew should fare alike. The route
of the expedition was chosen BY Bennett after
. consultation with DR.. Petermann. She felt
perfectly satisfied that everything was done
for the relief of her husband that could be
done. She had conversed with Mr.. Bennett
about the expedition the day Dananhower
reached New York. Bennett told her he
heard that very strict discipline was enforced
on the Jeanette, but he wanted the expedi-
ton to be strictly a military one. He also
said that some criticisms had been made on
Capt. DeLong for stopping on the
way to the Siberean coast TO explore Bennett
island, but that DeLong would not have been
the man he (Benneu) took him for if ne
passed by any undiscovered land without
examining it. In conclusion he said he
considered belongs death the most heroic
thing he knew of.
This closed the testimony, and the argu-
ment of Judge Arnoux will be held tomor-
row.

THE GRANT Il WARD FAILURE.
A Decline in the Securities OF the Erie
Railroad.
NEW YoKK. Nav 9.

New YoKK, May 8.
The decline in the securities of the Erie
railroad at the stock exchange today gave
rise to the report that the company was much
more heavily involved than frst supposed in
the failure of the Marine Bank and Grant &
Ward The report was subsequently con-
firmed, but no further particulars can be OBJ
tained from the officers of the road. 1t is
understood that the road had large balance
on deposit in the Marine Bank and this fact
made it necessary to pass the interest due on
the second mortgage bonds payable on the
first June. These securities declined eight
points in tie market today.
The Tribune furnishes the following
Treasurer Spencer of the Erie Railroad Co.,
said that Friday President Jewett has made
official statement that less than 100000 of
the companys money is now in the hands of
the Marine Bank, and he declares that he
has no fears of the safety of the funds. No
unfavorable effect is to be anticipated from
any possibility of the June interest on the
second mortgage bonds not being paid. No
meeting of the directors regarding the passing
of the June interest has been held, and none
will be held for that purpose.

First SessiOn.
sen ATE.

WASHINGTON, May 9.
On the reading of the journal, Mr.. Beck
thought the entry relating to Mr.. Frye's
motion Of yesterday, calling for a committee
OF conference. ought to have shown that il
was call tor a committee of conference on
the disagreeing votes of the two Houses.
The chair said that the entry as it stood
was in accord with the practice of the Senate
and after short discussion the journal was
approved.
Pending the discussion upon the reference
OF the resolution, the Indian appropriation
Dill was taken up and the resolution was cal
endered
Mr.. Lapham introduced bill providing
for the construction of q bridge across the
Niagara River; referred.
The chair laid before the Senate resolu-
ton offered yesterday Mr.. VanWyck. direct
ing the secretary OF the treasury to withhold
patents for lands on branch of the Northern
Pacific railroad until Congress decides at this
session the question of the forfeiture of such
lands.
The Senate took up the Indian bill, and
Mr.. Dawes briefly recapitulated its provis-
ions. The estimate for the year, he said, had
been 81. 1860 The amount of the bill as
1t came from the House had been S5, 456, ,3S9.
The amendments proposed BY the Senate in
creased the amount by s75l,4l
The bill was considered by sections and
considerable progress made. The Senate
committee had reduced the amount for edu-
cation in Alaska from the $4,000 allowed
by the House to $4,000.
Mr.. Hawley moved to make the amount
$4,000.
Mr.. Plumb opposed the motion.

KILBOURNE VS.. THOMPSON.
A Judgment Of $4,000, Which the
Court Rules too Much.

WAsHNGToN, May 9.
Today in the circuit court Judge Hagner
rendered his decision in the case OF Hallett
Kilbourne against John G.. Thompson, ex-
ssrgent in arms of the House. The damages
asked by Kilburne were S350,000, and the
verdict of the last trial gave him S37, 800.
In two prior suits the verdcts were respect
lively Sl00, 900 and $50, 900, and they were
set aside by the court as excessive.
The opinion rendered today was on mo-
tion to set aside the last verdict for S37, 800
as excessive. and to grant a new trial. The
court said that if the plaintiff should, within
five days, file remttation Of Sl7 500, leav-
ing the remainder of $40, 900, which the
court thought large, the judgment would be
allowed to stand, otherwise it would be the
largest verdict in case of the kind which
had ever been rendered in this country. If
the action of the House inquired the plaintiff
it was but proper that the House should repair
the damage, but MIR. Thompson should not
be made to suffer for what they did.

THE SPRINGER COMMITTEES.
Foreman Mitchell Now Investigated
What He Says About Bliss.

John L. Mitchell. foreman of the second
Grand Jury which considered the star route
cases and which found the indictments
against Dorsey and Brady was examined by
the Springer Committee. He said the act of
the Grand Jury in not finding an indictment
against Salisbury was justified by Bliss own
statement. Bliss in his own testimony makes
implications against the Grand Jury in the
Salisbury cases. He never left paper in
the possession of the Grand Jury for one
minute. Every morning he would bring to
the room an immense basket of papers, and
take them away with him in the afternoon.
1t would have been impossible for any Grand
Juryman to read those papers. The impress
sion on my mind was very positive in several
cases that the testimony did not bear out the
documentary evidence that Mr.. Bliss submit
ted.
The witness had no recollection that any
presentment was made against Kellogg before
the Grand Jury.
