Cermany's Interest I'm West Africa.
BY cable to the Dispatch,l

BERLIN, March 1.-THE result Of
Count Herbert Bismarck's special mis-
sion to England relative to the Ger
man interests in West Africa is
reported to be as follows: England
comedies to Germany the whole of
the Cameroons country, with the cx-
ceptiOn Of the mission town Victoria,
where the Germans are alleged to
have hauled down the British flag.
England further agrees not to interfere
with any action Germany may take in
the entire country from the south bank
Of the Rio Del Rcy. a small river
emptying into the Blight Of Biapra
some distance north of the Camcroons.
to the Gaboon, which enters the sea
very near the equator. Germany, on
the other hand, recognizes the SUI
premacy Of England over the country
lying between the north bank of the
Rio Del Rey and the Lagos. This
covers the basin Of the lower Niger.
BERLIN, March 1.-THE German
papers now generally admit that Ger
many was somewhat blamablc in the
AnglO-German colonial controversy.
They admit that the dispatch of May
5. 1884, which invited England to an
understanding with Germany concern
ing the latter'S colonial enterprises, and
which Prince Bismarck early last month
read to Sir Edward Malet as commu-
nication, which the Chancellor said had
been sent to London and never been
answered. was evidently never de-
liyered to the British Government.

made solely Of copper, whereas the
genuine coin is alleged with nickel.
As nickel is more valuable than copper
it will readily be seen that the manu-
facture Of a good counterfeit con-
sisting entirely Of the baser metal
would prove lucrative business IL
successfully conducted for any great

profit Of seventy-five cents would be
made on every hundred of spurious

Liberty.
Correspondents OF the Richmond Dispatch
LouIsBURG, N. c., March 10. 1885.
Two Of the colored convicts engaged
in the construction Of the Louisburg and
Franklinton railroad made break for
liberty to-day. One escaped probably
unhurt), but the other was shot through
the body by guard, and the chances
tonight are that he has but few hours
TO live. He had ten years to serve.
Two other conyicts broke away from
the guard three weeks ago and were
shot at a number of times, hut they es-
capped. 1t is rumored that one Of them
has been captured and that it was found
that he had one hand shattered by bull
lets the day he escaped.
The railroad is nearly half completed.

New York Herald.
The residence of General George II.
Mcclellan, at No. 81 Washington
Square, was badly damaged last night
by fire, which broke out in the store
room at the foot Of the stairs leading
from the second to the third floor.
The General Is in Washington, and
the house was tcnanted only by
Mrs. Mcclellan and her daughter.
The ladies were seated in the parlor
when the fire broke out. They were
informed of the blaze by the family
coachman, John Smith, who entered the
room, saying that he thought there was
fire in the house. Mrs. Mcclellan
ran up stairs and found dense quantities
of smoke coming out of the storeroom
closets. where her dresses were kept.
She was compelled to leave .Mrriedly,
and taking her daughter with her left
the house at once.
In the mean time the lremcn had been
summoned. and they soon had the flames
under control. The fire, however, had
extended to the bedroom occupied by
Mrs. Mcclellan, and also to the room
above, doing considerable damage in
both apartments. The grand staircase.
which is built of mahogany and rose
wood and extensively carved, was en-
tircly destroyed. The damage to the
property is estimated at $4,000, while
the loss to Mrs. McClellan's wardrobe
and furniture will reach $4,000.
The General wife and daughter were
escorted to the New York Hotel, where
they will remain until the arrival of
General Mcclellan. who was telcgraphed
ior Immediately after the fire.

WASHINGTON, March ia eau
Gus Of Republican senator's and its eau
Gus Committee, which have been en-
gagged early and late since the session
began upon the allotment Of places on
the majority sides of the Senate COM
mittces, finished their task to-day, but
the result will not be formally declared
until tomorrow. Senator Congcr sue
ceeds to the Craftsmanship Of the Com
mittee on PoSt-0fiices and Post-Roads,
made vacant by the retirement Of Sena-
tor Hill. Senator Pike takes the chair
Of the Committee on Claims held by
Senator Cameron, Of Wisconsin. Sena-
tor Sewcll takes Senator Logan's place
at the head Of the Committee on Mill
tary Affairs.
Senator Eyarts is made member of
the Committee on the Judiciary and Of
that upon Foreign Relations. Senator
Teller is made chairman Of the Com
mittee on Mines and Mining, and a
member Of the Committee on Public
Lands. The Judiciary Committee is
increased by one and the Commerce
and Public-Buildings Committees by
two members each. Many other changes
were made in the membership Of the
committees for the purpose of equali-
zing the hOnOrs. responsibilities, and
labOrs of the committce-rooms, and
the task of the Caucus Committee
was found to be one Of considerable
difficulty. Its members are unusually
reticcnt about their proceedings, but it
is understood that the feature of their
work which proved the most perpleX-
ing was related to the Finance Commit
tee. Senator Sherman, it is said, asked
to be relieved from further service upon
this committee unless its composition
was changed in some respects. lie
is credited with an impression that
New England ideas were dominant
in the committee, and is said to
has given this as his reason for wishing
to withdraw. This, it is reported,
when brought before the caucus, pre-
cipitated a discussion of the tariff, in
which wool and pig-iron figured as lead
ing elements. Neither the caucus nor
the Caucus Committee seems to have
see its way clear to make the change
desired by the Senator from Ohio, for the
Republican membership of the Finance
Committee, as it stands tonight, is the
same as it was at the last session. Many
senators have urged Mr.. Sherman to
remain upon the Finance Committee,
upon the ground that his familiarity
with the financial Affairs Of the Govern
mcnt would there be most cOnspicu-
ouSly Serviceable. His name stands
second upon the committee list. Hewas
not present at the Capitol to-day, and
his further purposes in regard to the
matter are unknown.
