MONTEREY, MR., Dec. 12.-Ex.Gov

pro tenn, General Reyes, this morning, but
is only allowed the freedom OF the city.
He Is continually watched to see that he
complies with the provisions OF his parole.
All his guards arc also at liberty. which
virtually inSures them against any prose-
cution for their acts in firing on the Fed
eral troops under Reyes. Everything is
quiet, but the town Is full OF strange
faces.
The revolntionists, under General Vidal
GariEa, arrived in the city last night,
where they found the end they had been
working for had been consummRted. They
Immediately waited upon General Reyes,
and their commander placed himself Gt
the service Of the Federal authorities.
Manuel RodrigueH was not able 10 accom-
pany his forces, on account OF illness.
Much dissatisfaction is expressed here At
General Reyes appointment but as 1t 10
only temporary matter, no open demon
stration Of displeasure is liable 10 occur.

dent DiaE has appointed General Bales.

WARRINGTON, D. c., Dec. l3.-Foul
hundred and seventy bills and nine joint
resolutions have been introduced in the
Senate. but only two committees have
yet held their first meeting and no meas.
ures have been reported back to the
Senate and no calendar has threiore been
made.
Beyond the probable discussion and
possible passage Of the Presidential sue.
cession bill to be reported on Monday,
and the adoption Of MIR. Frye's resolution,
embodyinS code Of joint rules, no pro.
gramme for legislative business during
the week can be indicated. Four hundred
and fitty-six nominations have boen sent
TO the Senate, and many Of them will
probably bereported at the 6rst executive
session. A considerable portion OF the
latter half OF the week 10 likely TO be spent
with closed DOOR. =
There is desire on the part Of many
members to have call OF the States on
Monday for the introduction Of bill for
reference to the Appropriations Commit
toe whom appointed, and In Difference 10
those desiring 1t, 1t was informally agreed
by members Of the Committee on Rules
yesterday to make no opposition to such a
call. There are, however, members Of the
House who express an intention TO oppose.

for them. As the House Is not governed
at present by any definite system OF rules
those members contend that it will re.
quire unanimous consent to order 1 call
and assert that this cannot be obtained.
The discussion OF rules will consume the
remainder OF the week, and the contest
over the scheme TO distribute the labor Of
the Appropriations Committee promises
to be sharp and interesting.
There Is talk Of an adjournment for the
holiday recess before the end Of the week,
but no definite plans have been arranged,
and it 10 probable that adjournment will
not be reached until the week following,

TERRIBLE DISASTER.

iAnS suffer n Terrible Defeat.

LONDON, Dec. 13.-At Plymouth to-day
tenement house on Lone street, in a Low
and squalid neighborhood, took FIRE, and
q terrible calamity resulted. The aamst
burned rapidly and fsrcely, and when al
last they were subdued twelve calcined
human bodies were found among the
ruins. Two others are missing and in all
probability they, too, have been burned to
death. One unfortunate victim was
smashed to pieces by jumping from high
window to the ground. Several OF the
tenants in their irightescaped by throwing
bedding to the pavement, forty feet below,
and jumping from the windows. A num-
ber OF these had legs and arms broken by
the fearful leap. A narrowing incident OF
the calamity was the appearance OF q
youth who with his little sister in one arm,
hung suspended from window by the
other for some minutes until the flames
surrounded him and caused him to loose
his hold and fall to the ground. He had
both legs fractured. The child was also
severely injured. The intensity Of the
flames gave the building the appearance
OF q furnace, but this did not deter the
6remen, many Of whom entered the house
and by heroic struggle succeeded in
rescuinR several persons.

CONSPIRACY.
The liability of CorpOratIous-ThSy oRu b'
Ruod for Conspiracy.

BuFrALo, n. Y, Dec. l2.-Judge Lewis
Of the Supreme Court, handed down ar
important decision in the suit brought By
the Buffalo LubricAting Oil Company
against the Standard and Acme Oil Com
panies. The damages claimed amounted
to about 100000, and are asked fol
alleged conspiracy to drive the PLAINTIFF
out Of business. The Standards lawyerH
moved to have the case thrown out Of
court on the gound that corporationscould
not be sued for conspiracy. The decision
is as follows:
Upon principle and authority there
would seem To be very little doubt that
actions OF libel, assault and battery, ma.
,licious prosecution, &c., can be maintained
against the corporation. | am not able to
see II that class OF actions can be sustained
against them why actions Of conspiracy
can not also be maintained. While cor
porations, as such, cannot think, their
officers and agents can think and act, and
II when they are acting for the corporation
enter into conspiracy, the corporation is
liable for their acts.

BALTIMORE d ONO stock is quoted these
days at $l75 bid, per share, and $l9C
asked. Itis a 10 percent stock and there
is less than S2O,OOO,OOO OF it all told. The
surplus is 1000. 900 and there is now moi
half as much pressure to capitalists this
surplus as there was Is years ago. The
value OF good credit has been taught by
the careful policy OF the Baltimore& & Ohio,
in contrast to the Stock-watering policy OF
50 many other lines. 1t is this credit that
enables the Balimors,& Ohio to hold the
pool 10 check at the very gates Of New
York city, and command an entrance into
that harbor despite the most powerful ad'
verse influences. Apropos to this entry
into New York, We observe thst the
triumphal elmer entertainment whereat
and whereby it is to be duly celebrated,

Several consultations have recently

country some time ago, is again brought
into prominence by the death of Van.

written by reporter OF this city
named Q. sP. Dresser. Dresser
knows all the prominent railroad
men and politicians in the country. He
is termed ahuAtler, and as far as obtain

few equals. His manner OF doing so is
exclusively his own. The only prominent
person he has not interviewed is John L.
Sullivan, the Bostonian. His only reason
for not doing so is because some one told
him that Sullivan was puGilist.
The Vanderbilt interview took place on
the magnate's private car as it was going
through Hyde Park. Dresser and short.
hand man named Bennett boarded the
train, opened the door and at once began
to taIk to the multi-millionaire. Wander

Dresser began to ''interview" him. Ben.
