Forty Eighth COngress---First Session.
WASHINGTON, February 27

WASHINGTON, February 27.
 SENATB.-There was an animated debate over 8 repetition of 8 resolution by MT. Van Wyck to ascertain whether Western Union intended to swallow Baltimore and Ohio. MT. Van Wyck saw in Dr. Greens testimony that such an attempt had been made in the past.
 Mir. Plumb did not see any use in the in quiry.
 MT. Platt moved to refer the resolution to the Committee on Postoffices and Post Roads. '1 desire,'' he said, ''that the sgoV- ernment shall asume in some way the tele- graph as a means of transmitting intelligence throughout the country. I have no quar- rel with the Western Union or Baltimore and Ohio. Congress has nothing to do with the quarreIs between these companies. If they desire to consolidate there is no power in Congress to stop them. But it is necessary that we should have all the information which tends to throw light on the question whether the people are paying too much for the transmission of information by telegraph. That is 8 subject of legitimate inquiry"
 After further debate it was referred to the Committee on Postofices and Post Roads.
 The Senate then took up the bill in relation to the construction of new cruisersr Mir. Beck said he was in favor of building up a navy, but he was opposed to the method sought to be used for that purpose. It had been shown that the navy yards were not honestly managed and he was opposed to voting money to be expended under the man. agement of those yards.
 ssThen the Senator" said Mr. Butler, tsopposes the measure because he has not confidence in the present Secretary of the Navy"

Death of Minister Hunt.

Death of Minister Hunt.
 ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 27-The Hon. Will liam H. Hunt, ex-sscretary of the navy and United States minister to Russia died here this morning. MT. Hunt has been ailing for some time, but there were no alarming devel- opments until few weeks ago when he was compelled to take to his bed. He has since sank rapidly until his death to-day. The physicians who have been attending him ascribe the immediate cause of his death to paralysis of the brain.
 Judge Hunt was in the neighborhood of sixty years of age. He was tall, broad shoul- dered, with an almost copper-cslored com swarthy, hawk-nosed face was always smooth shaven with the exception of a snow white imperial. He was judge in New Orleans when William Pitt Kellogg was governor When Kellogg came to Washington he brought Hunt with him and secured his ap- pointment upon the bench of the court of claims. It was through Kellogg's influence that Hunt was made secretary of the navy in Garfeld's cabinet. His wife was one of the handsomest women in Washington society, and when her husband went into the cabinet she became one of the most popular of the social leaders. The death of Garfield left Hunt in
 
 his life place upon the court of claims, and as he had but small means the prospect of his being retired to private life made him very Respondent. Both he and his wife brought every social art into play to per suade President Arthur to retain him in the cabinet. When this failed the best thing that could be offered Hunt was the mission to Russia, He took his appointment as an exile, and during the last year he has struggled to get place at home. His friends tried very hard to get him reappointed to the court of claims to fill the last vacancy. The news of Judge Weldon's appointment was 8 great disappoint ment to the minister.
 Mir. DeStruve. the Russian minister, called on Secretary Frelipghuysen this morning and read to him the following telegram from the minister for foreign affairs of Russia:
 To Russian Minister, Washington:
 The Emperor instructs you to express to the President and to the government of the United States the sincere regret which the death of MT. Hunt causes his majesty I have no need to add that the government and Russian society are much affected by this loss. (Signed) GERS.

 NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-The conference of prison officials from different States was continued this evening st the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Sinclair Tousey presided. The subjsct for discussion was ''The indefinite sentence" |" George W. Burchsrd, of Fort Atkinson, Wis, opened the discussion and argued that prisoners should be held just as long as they are dangerous to society. Eugene Smith, secretary of the New York prison association. favored the views taken by MT. Burchard and said that in England as the prisoner rises he is allowed more privileges, but he is not allowed to go back to society until he has given sufficient evidence that he is fit to return to society. The psrdoning system, in his opinion, should never be exercised except in exceptional cases. The discussion was participated in by MT. Adams ot Color ado, Rev. MT. Learly, chaplain of Auburn prison; MT. John c. Softer, warden of the Southern Illinois penitentiary; Mir. z. R. Broadway, of the Elmira reformatory, and others.
