FORTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS.
House.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 28.-Immedi
ately after the reading Of the journal of
the House Mr.. Deuster (Wis.) presented
a resolution of thanks of the Liberal I'm
ion of Germany, for their connection with
Herr Lasker. He explained that it was
addressed to the House of Representa-
tives and would have been laid before
that body by the Speaker had the rules
permitted him to present communica-
tions from an unofficial source.
"The spectacle presented" Mr.. Deuster
said, twas a peculiar one, as seen by
American eyes. Prince Bismarck and the
German Empire were the embodiment5
of an idea antagonistic to the American
idea of freedom and abhorent to the
feeling of liberty-loying people. If the
reports are to be credited the German
Chancellor returned the resolutions of
the House to the prejudice of the
German people, as the act would be
construed as theirs. The letter ust
read denies that he expressed
the sentiments of the German people.
The resolution might have been faulty
in construction, its phraseology may not
have been such as would have been used
by one not born and reared beneath the
| flag of the free; but if the resolution was
not equal to the requirements of the &C.
| casion it was the fault of the head and not
| of the heart 1t was an expression of
coincidence of legislative body, with the
| people at the back of it, to another legis-
lative body of a people upon whom the
heavy hand of death had been laid and
one of its brightest jewels plucked. As
a German by birth and an adopted
citizen of the United States, he
desired to express conviction
that the action of the Liberal Union was
a true index to the feeling of United Ger
many, and that the action of Prince Bis
marck would not rise above the dignity of
a matter of personal veXation and in no
way affecting the kindly relations existing
between the two nations. 1t might be
premature to criticise the action of Prince
Bismarck, but when the official informa-
ton thereof was in possession of the
House, he would endeavor to show that
| the Lasker resolutions were entirely kind
and proper.
! Mr.. Guenther denied that the people of
Germany were hostile to this country or
its institutions, or that the letter of
Prince Bismarck, in returning the Lasker
| resolutions, reflected the sentiment of that
people. They did not approve of his dis
courtesy; neither did they indorse his
autocratic action in prohibiting the i'm
portation of American products.
Mr.. Kasson regretted that the incident
referred to had to be made in any degree
the subject of debate. In his opinion,
the House would the better consult its
dignity by waiting until some official
communication reached it that improper
comment had been made upon its action.
When twas informed that the interest or
honor of the country had been affected,
| there would be no doubt of perfect ac-
cord between the two sides of the House
touching the action to be taken. He
| moved to refer the resolution presented
| by Mr.. Deuster to the Committee on
Foreign Affairs So ordered

WHISKY AND TOBACCO TAN
Brought Home for Burial,

New YORK, Feb. 2S.-The remains of
General Ord, who died of yellow fever in
Havana last fall, while on the way from
Vera Cruz, Mexico, to this city, arrived
this morning by the steamer City of Meri-
da, and will be taken to Washington for
burial. The last military service per-
formed by General Ord was in command
of the troops in Texas, with headquarters
in San Antonio. While cooperating with
the Mexican army officers to suppress
lawlessness on the lower Rio Grande
border he became intimately acquainted
with General Trevino, commanding the
Mexican forces on the Northeastern
frontier. Trevino was frequently a
guest in Ord's house in San Antonio, and
there fell in love with Ord's daughter,
whom he married. The "international
baby was born of this marriage. When
General Ord was put on the retired list he
made his home in the City of Mexico,
with his daughter and son-in.law. He
was actively engaged in promoting Ameri-
can enterprises in the country of his
adoption. 1t was to further some large
railroad enterprise that he was coming
back to this country when he was stricken
with yellow fever. The death of his
daughter, Mrs. Trevino, in Fortress Mon
roe, recently, sewers almost the last bond
that bound these families of the two re-
publics, General Ord's brother, Judge
Ord, formerly of California, is widower
with comfortable fortune and a grown
son, who was disciple of the law.
Judge Ord is at present residing in Wash.
ington City.

A Sixteen-Carat Diamond for a Dollar
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Feb. 2S.--Great ex-
element exists in the vicinity of Eagle,
situated on the Prairie du Chen division
of the Milwaukee & St. Paul Road, over
an alleged diamond discovery. About
New Years lady from that village came
to Milwaukee and offered for sale u
brilliant. She first took it to S. b. Boyn-
ton, jeweler. He would only give her 81
for the stone. After taking 1t to several
other places, she brought it back and sold
1t to Boynton. Some weeks later Boyn-
ton took the stone with him to Chicago
and submitted 1t to an expert in
that city. The expert at once
pronounced 1t q sixteen-carat diamond
and worth $500. Boynton brought the
stone back and kept his own counsel lie
then, in company with w. p. Merrill, OF
this city, whom he let into the secret, pur-
chased all the land in the vicinity of the

morning hours an attempt would be
made to blow up Charing Cross station;
that explosives had already been con-
cealed in the building. A large force of
detectives were Immediately dispatched
to the station with instructions to search
thoroughly and arrest any one found
lettering in the vicinity. At three-forty-
five this morning, two well dressed gen.
tlemen, apparently belonging to the up
per classes, were arrested at the station,
Notwithstanding their protestations
that they were Government officials, were
placed in cab, guarded by strong force
of police, and driven to Scotland Yard
Meanwhile the thorough search made
at the station for explosives was
rewarded by the discovery Of a quantity
of nitro-9lycerine in the cloak room. The
detectives are elated at their success.
They Immediately conveyed the explo-
sives to Scotland Yard. A close watch
was kept at the station in hope of secur-
ing other arrests Of suspicious persons.
Inc two gentlemen arrested, after being
detained several hours, sent for friends,
who came and identified them as being
analysists in the employ of the Govern
ment, who had been ordered to convey
the explosives to Woolwich laboratory.
They were released from custody. Sew
eral detectives express the opinion that
both the police and the analysists are vic
tins of practical joker, who knew the
mission of the gentlemen, and who took
advantage of the alarm created by the ex-
plosion in the Victoria Station to perpe-
trate the joke. Others profess to believe
it was plot similar to the Victoria Sta
ton plot to blow up Charing Cross. No
further arrests have been made, but the
police are keeping sharp lookout for
suspicious characters.

A DEMOCRATIC CONUNDRUM.
Whom Shall w g Nominate That Car
be Electedpr

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 2S.-Wade
Hampton, of South Carolina, is an ar
dent admirer of Senator Bayard. 1t was
Il great disappointment to him that the
Delaware statesman was passed over at
Cincinnati and General Hancock NOM
mated in his stead. Senator Hampton
says that Mr.. Bayard possesses the full
confidence of the business men of the
country, and quoted George w. Childs
and Drexel, the New York banker, as say
ing after Gartields election, that had he
been opposed by strong man like Bayard
the result in all probability would have
been vastly different. General Hampton
frankly admitted that the perplexing
problem with Bayard's friends was to get
him the nomination. His election, he
thought, was matter of easy accomplish
ment. The most interesting feature of
his conversation on this subject, how
ever, was suggestion he made, which il
is believed would greatly strengthen his
candidacy. 1t is this: The day preceding
the National Convention let a caucus of
delegates from the six doubtful Northern
States-New York, New Jersey, Connecti-
cut, Ohio, Indiana, and California--be
held. Let the candidate whom this eau
Gus decides can carry all or most of these
States be presented to the Convention,
and there is little doubt that he would
receive the nomination on the first ballot.
This plan is open to no valid objection by
any of the aspirants for the Presidency
except that it would simply increase Mr..
Bayard's chances. Gen. Hampton is not
at all certain that his suggestion will be
adopted, but he puts it forth as the best
solution of the question; "Whom snail
