THE TARIFF DISCUSSION.

The General Business OF the Present Ses-
sion OF Congress Pushed Aside by the
Long Discussion of the Tariff Bin - A
Flood Of Work Pending.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-The Star last
evening, speaking Of business in the
House Of Representatives, says: The
Speaker and other members of the COM
mittee on rules had an informal talk this
morning concerning the disposal Of other
business Of the House that is being pushed
aside by the long tariff discussion. 1t was
concluded that nothing could be done in
the way of setting aside days fol. special
orders until it was known just when the
general discussion. Of the tariff should
end. If the debate goes ON without inter-
ruption they know just when the seven
teen days will expire, but the time may be
broken in upon. 1t was the general idea
that the Legislative Appropriation bill
would be called up at some time pending
the tariff discussion. Mr.. Randall, how
ever has failed to make any move so as
to interrupt the debate, and it is UNDER
stood that he has made up his mind not to
do so of his own volition. just at present
he is confined to his room with an attack
of sickness, but if he were present it is
not his purpose to interrupt the tariff de-
bate by calling up any measure.
this motion failed, the bill not getting the
necessary two-thirds vote. Since then
the friends of the bill have been working
for votes, and Mr.. Blanchard thinks he
will be able to secure the two thirds vote
on Monday. His purpose is to make the
attempt at that time The committee on
rules, as soon as they see their way clear
out of the tariff, will probably fix another
day for the committee on territories and
the committee on commerce and the Pa
cific railroads to compensate them for the
assignments they lost by the Dlrect-Tax
deadlock. The territories will call
up the Oklahoma bill if they
get their day. The Pacific Railroads
Funding bill and several bridge bills
will be called up by the Pacific railroads
and the commerce committees. 1t is pro-
posed also to make a favorable report to
the House upon the proposition sent to
the committee from Springer at the open
ing of the session to provide for a joint
committee, consisting of three members
of the House and three of the Senate, to
consider the question of legislative re-
form. The joint committee is to sit dur
ing the recess of Congress for the pur-
pose of devising, if possible, some means
by which Congress may be relieved from
the consideration of private bills, which
are constantly accommodating on the calen-
dar and in committees.

Prince Ferdinand. diuand, and prob
ably for the people as well, they
have little to say in the matter. Already
Russian intrigue and Russian money have
fomented discussions and purchased in
fuence, not only in Bulgaria, but in Ser
via and Roumania, which the govern
ments of those States are powerless to
counterfeit. With this state of affairs
staring them in the face, the army hon
eycombed with treachery, the populace
saturated with treason and Russian troops
stationed within a few hours march of the
frontier awaiting the inevitable order to
advance and occupy the country, it is
pathet1cally amusing to witness Prince
Ferdinand and his ministers touring the
country and delivering grandeloquent
speeches followed with promises to the
people which can never be fulfilled.
Ii the Sultan had not all along been keen
~ alive to the danger to himself
OF playing into Russia's hand, the Bull
garlan question would long ago have been
settled by the appearance of Turkish
army at Sofia in the exercise of the
Porte's prerogative, and the hasty with
drawal of Prince Ferdinand from the
country, but every thing now indicates
speedy overturning of the Bulgarian gov
eminent without reference to the Sultan's
wishes. The increasing disorder through
out Bulgaria is depended upon by the
persons who instigated it to create the
necessity for Russian interference to
restore quiet, and the interference will be
forthcoming at the proper time.

For Conscience Sake.

ROME, May 3.-After the decision Of the
congregation of the inquisition, Arch
bishop Walsh had repeated conversations
with Cardinal Simeoni, who urged upon
the Dublin prelate the necessity of his
submitting to the terms of the Papa
rescript. Archbishop Walsh declared
his readiness to submit to the orders
Of the Pope, but said that he
could not act in opposition to the dictates
of his conscience. Without creating
further difficulty, he would, if he could
not conscientiously conform to the re-
quirements of the Papal decree, resign
his Archiepiscopate. It is reported that
if Archbishop Walsh resigns he will be
made Cardinal.

PRESIDENT CARNOT'S TACTICS

He is Endeavoring to Distract Public At
| tention From the Prevailing BouIang fst
Demonstrat ions- The Insidious Designs
| of ItaIy-The ssMan on Horseback a
Bugbear to European Powers.
| LONDON, May 2.-President Carnot is, Of
course, credited with making his trip to
the south of France in the interest of his
party and in the hope of creating a boom
that may, in measure, distract public at
tention from the Boulangist demonstra-
tons. The presence of the Minister'S of
Marine and Public Works serves to give
color to the rumors that the inspection of
Toulon and the vessels of the feet in the
vicinity is preliminary to an increase Of
naval force in the Mediterr anean
and large expenditures on the works
| around that important station. Any
thing limiting, however remotely, at
preparations for war is sure to become
the topic Of the day, and already it is
confidently asserted that the government
has discovered insidious designs on the
part of the Italians which will render
necessary the strengthening of the
Mediterranean squadron and additional
works along the frontier. 1t is certain
that the French have been for some years
uneasy over the undoubted superiority
of the Italian iron-clads to any
ships which they can bring against
them and the knowledge that Marseilles
and Toulon are at the mercy of Ger
many's ally is CALLING in the extreme to
French pride. In no better way could
the Carnot regime achieve a reputation
for far sighted patriotism than by recon-
mending large outlay for vessels and
works, the need for which is undoubted,
and which the most captious political OPP
ponent could find no fault with as evincing
a belligerent spirit, while protesting a
desire for peace. If the ministry can thus
take the wind out of Boulanger's sails,
they will earn the thanks of all
Europe, for it is obvious that sur
rounding nations have more dread
Of the ex-Minister Of War than
they care to acknowledge. The red car
nation is for the moment super-eminent,
but the color is an omen of dread to all
conservative Frenchmen. The violence
of the partisans and decriers of Bou-
LANCER may be inferred from the fact that
in one of the duels recently fought over
him, an unfortunate contestant was seri-
ously wounded, a conclusion so contrary
to all rules and precedents of the French
duello as practiced by political opponents,
that it must naturally have a depressing
effect upon seekers after the cheap no.
toriety of crossing swords for few min
rtes with an esteemed enemy.
Senator Naquet has been formally ex-
Guided from the Extreme Left group of
the French Senate on account of his Bou-
langist proclivities.

THE LAST STRAW.

The Action of the Papal Propaganda the
Camel.
LONDON, May 4.-The report that
special congregation of the Propaganda
is celebrating upon questions relating to
Ireland and the policy of her Nationalist
party in Parliament for her better gov
eminent has been a sort of final straw on
the back of the Irish camel The Irish
leaders doubt not now that the rumored
decree from the Vatican has become a
reality, that the points which the cardi-
nails have under their august and pious
consideration will be decided in manner
which every lover of unfortunate
Ireland must deem adverse to her best in
terests. In view of this, and in order to
anticipate the coming blow, the leaders of
the National League have, it is learned,
prepared a circular, which has been dis
tributed throughout Ireland to every
branch of the League, calling upon the
members to be firm in their adherence to
that body, and arranging for the stimuli
taneous meetings of twenty League
branches at a time, until all the members
line of action to be adopted in
respect to the papal rescript and
emanations of Rome. The first of this
series of meetings will take place at an
early date, and every thing respecting the
assemblings will be maintained in strict
secresy, SO that the government will not
be able to proclaim and put stop to
them.

THE ALASKA SEAL FISHERY.

Governor Swineford of Alaska Ventila tes
the Methods Pursued by the Alaska
Commercial Company to Satisfy Its
Greed for Wealth and Power.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Secretary Villas
to-day sent to Congress report from the
Governor of Alaska, giving the result of
his inquiries into the operations of the
Alaska Seal and Fur Company ALASKA
Commercial Company. Governor SWINE
ford shows that the fur trade is practical
ly monopolized by the Alaska Com
mercial Company, which corpora
ton, he says, has not confined
its operations to the seal islands leased
to it by the Government, but has gath
cred to itself about all there is of value in
the fur trade of the whole country. He
describes how the natives, on pain of
starvation, are kept at the mercy of the
company, how the paid agents and
lobbyists of the corporation are kept
at the National capital to oppose
any and every effort which may be
made to promote the welfare of
Alaska, and says there have been fla
grant violations of the law and executive
orders in regard to the importation and
sale of breech-loading firearms. The
Government, Governor Swineford adds,
is responsible for the wrongs which are
being suffered by innocent native people
Of the Aleutian islands, and the whole of
Northwestern Alaska, and if it can not
legally be rescinded, the lease to and the
contract with the company ought not to
be renewed. In the opinion of the Govern
Or it would be better that every fur seal
should be exterminated than that such
blighting monopoly should be perpetu-
ated.
Secretary Fairchild has informed the
House that the lease of the right to take
fur seals in Alaska for the term of twenty
years from May 1, 1870, was made on
August 81, 1870, to the Alaska Commercial
Company, a corpor alton under the State
of California, and that the records, as far
as he is advised, do not show any VIOLA
ton of the terms and conditions of the

Another Flood in the Red River,

ST. PAUL, Mimi, May A special
from Ashland says the rains of the past
twenty-four hours have caused the Bad
river to rise again, and there is much
danger now of loss to the loggers, who
are driving down the swollen stream. The
river is now running all over the woods,
and of course, SO are the logs; but the
danger which is most apprehended, is
that the boom at the mouth of the river
will be broken up by the action Of the
strong current, and it is feared that then
the twenty-five million logs therein will
be lost in Lake Superior.

regard to the vestibule trains, the right to
the manufacture of which was in dispute
The decision was in favor of the Pullman

is based on the validity of the Pullman
