A man named CHATENAY, living at Rio de
JRneirO executed at that place a power OF
attorney to q Londoner named BRoC,
whereby CHATENAY authorized BRoC In his
behalf, among other things. "to purchase
and cell shares In public companies and pub
lie funds In conformity with his letters Of
credit, and following his letters OF orders and
particular advlces," which, il necessary,
were to be regarded as part OF the instru-
ment. On tho books OF the Brazilian Sub
marIno Telegraph Company stood number
OF shares In CHATENAY'S name. BRoC pre-
sented his power of attorney to the officers
OF the corporation and induced them. by
virtue thereof, to transfer CHATENAY's
shares to a third person. CHATENAY went
to England, and discovering that they had
thus been transferred away, he brought suit
against tho company 10 recover their value.
The defendant referred to the power OF at

transfer OF the stock. Under the law OF
Brazil such an instrument confers general
authority upon tho agent, SO far as third

Republican Senators Decide
on a Programme.
The Tariff Bill to Be Voted on
About September 18th.
The Election Bill Not to Come up
Again Till December.
The River and Harbor Bill Under Con-
sideration in The House-The
Raum Investigation.


=
WASHINGTON, August pa commit
tee of Republican senators has decided
that the tariff bill, after date to be
fixed, is to be considered under the five
minute rule until a vote is taken. The
date of this has not been decided, and
will be subject to an arrangement with
the Democrats. 1t is expected that a
vote will be reached about the 9Th OF
September, then the other measures
named III Senator Quays resolution are
to be taken up. The election bill will
come up the first thing after the assem-
blage of congress in December.
The plan by which the Republicans
expect to secure the passage Of the cleo
ton bill next session, is to obtain a
written pledge of the majority of SEN
ators to be in attendance early in De-
cember, and vote in favor OF change of
rules, so as to permit the majority to fix
the time for taking vote upon any
measure under consideration. This
pledge, it is said will be signed by all
the members of the majority. 1t is not
asserted, however, that the senators will
be unit in favor of the election bill.

SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
Several More Paragraphs Of the Tariff
Bill Disposed of.

Several More Paragraphs of the Tariff
Bill Disposed of.
WASHINGTON, August 22.-The senate
today adopted a resolution directing the
secretary of the navy to investigate the
alleged defects in the castings furnished
by the Standard Steel Ncompany, Of
Thurlow, Pennsylvania. for the navy
department.
The tariff bill was then taken up and
discussed at length.
The house bill to amend act of June
2, 1874, for the relief of settlers of rail-
road lands, was taken from the calendar
and passed.
The tariff bill was then again taken
up.
AS one paragraph after another was
taken up, amendments were offered,
principally by Mcpherson, but they were
all rejected. The paragraph relating to
shot-guns was passed over informally,
Aldrich stating that the finance COM
mittee had some notifications OF it
under consideration.
The paragraph relating to wood screws
having been reached, Carlisle said that
was an article which American manu-
IacJurefS were Selling dOIodu very AluoH
lower than they were selling at home.
He produced price list in support of
this statement. This was another il
lustration, he said, of the policy
adopted by the other side in allowing
draw backs on exported articles. Ste
wart said that the assumption that
there was anything wrong in the sale
of American manufactured goods in
forpein countries cheaper than at home,
arose from the want OF information.
No amendments were agreed to until
paragraph 100 was reached, which on
motion of Aldrich was amended so as to
read: "Bullion of gold, silver or other
metal, not specially provided for, 20 per
cent ad valorem."
Having reached the paragraph as to
lead ore, the senate adjourned.

RUNAWAY TRAINS.
A Frightful Railway Disaster at Cascade.
Caused by Leaking Air Brakes.


EMIGRANT GAP, CAL, August pa
serious freight wreck occurred at Cas-
cade early this morning. Train No. 10
was standing at Summit with the air
brakes set, while the engines went after
more cars. The air leaked, and the
hand brakes not being set up,
the caboose and several cars
started down the grade. When
the run away train reached Cascade,
freight No. % was pulling in on the side
track, all but the caboose and one car
clearing the main track. The runaway
struck, and wreck resulted. Conduc-
tor Kingsley of No. 10, and conductor
Connolly and brakemen Beaver and
Lewis of 20, were killed, and it is under
stood one or two others were badly hurt.
Cascade station, small structure, was
thrown down precipitous hill, but the
operator, asleep in the house, escaped.
The snowsheds were demolished for
some distance. Seventeen cars Of
No. 10, and two of the other
train, were piled up in a mass, and the
wires Frustrated. The Atlantic express
which left San Francisco yesterday
is lying at Cisco, and the overland flyer
which left last night, is here. Wreck
ing trains are clearing away the debris.
The fact that the Atlantic express was
behind time last night, averted fright
full disaster, as train % was running on
her time to Summit.
A Runaway in Colorado.
DENAER, August 22-Three men were
killed and three seriously injured by the
running wild of stone train OF seven
cars in the vicinity of Lyons, Colorado,
this morning. The train was on down
grade, and without apparent reason, the
engineer found he hadlost control OF the
engine, whereupon the whole train
started on wild run down the mountain
side. When Engineer Norton found he
could not control the engine, he jumped
and was killed. The fireman then climb
ed back over the tender and attempted
to uncouple the engine, but was I'M
successful, and sustained serious in
juries in jumping from the train. Both
the brakemen jumped, one being almost
instantly killed, and the other received
injuries from which it is thought
it is impossible for him to recover. The
train continued on its wild career until
the dump was reached, when all the cars
went over and piled up in promiscuous
mass OF ruins. The names of the killed
are: f. Norton, engineer; Ferguson,
car repairer; w. Gurkin, car repairer.
The injured are: James Consodine,
conductor; j. B. Strayer, brakeman
James Miller, fireman.

IN THE HOUSE.
The River and HarbOr Bill and Other
Matters Considered.

The River and HarbOr Bill and Other
Matters Considered.
WASHINGTON, August. 22--Henderson,
of Illinois, submitted to the house today
the report of the commission on the
senate amendments to the river and
harbor bill, recommending non-con cur
renee in those amendments and agreeing
to the conference asked by the senate.
Kerr raised the point OF order that
the amendment must first be considered
in the committee of the whole. This
point was sustained by the speaker.
The house then resolved itself into COM
mittee of the whole for consideration OF
the measure.
Henderson said the senate amend
ments increased the appropriation car
ried by the bill about $5,000,0O0. 1t
was this increase which the committee
asked the house to non-concur in. After
concurring in about one half OF the SEN
ate amendments, the committee rose.
Mason, OF Illinois, rising to question
of privilege, said some days ago reso-
luton had been adopted, alleging that
certain gentlemen had been fraudu-
lently using the mails to create sentl-
ment in favor of the Conger land bill,
and calling on the postofice department.
for information ON the subject. The
resolution had been sent to the
post Office department with the
request that the papers in regard to
the matter be transmitted promptly:
This had not been done. He had
called at the department several times,
and had been informed that probably
the papers would not be sent up unit!
Saturday night. Then they would be of
no use, as the previous question on the
bill was ordered at four o'clock tomor-
row. His charge was that
improper influence had been
brought to bear upon the department by
the government, to retain certain papers
in its. possession. He moved that a
committee of three members be appoint
ed to wait on the postmaster general and
ask that the papers be furnished in time
to be used in the debate.
Before any action was taken, the house
took recess, the evening session to be
for consideration OF private pension
bills,

men on the subject. The interview was,
he said, substantially correct. The
commissioner said that probably Lemon
had spoken to him about advanced
cases before he submitted his letter.
Certainly other attorneys had done
so. As to the system of completed files,
witness said that the penseion Office
relied solely upon the certificate of the
attorney (whO was assumed to be
creditable person, being accredited by
the court) that case was complete and
ready for action. The commissioner
produced statement of the cases
ON the completed files
showing that there were now 115, 1854 OF
such cases, including 8, ITO of Lemons
cases. The pension firm which had pre-
scented the largest number of completed
cases this month, was Marriny & Co.,
Cooper's friends.
This concluded the commissioner
examination, and Martin Bailey, chief
of the law division of the pension
bureau, was called and gave testimony
relative to the Office practice, adding
that no particular consideration had
ever been shown in the treatment of
Lemons cases, as he knew absolutely.
Commissioner Raum next produced
the stockbook of the refrigerator COM
pany and, furnishedIa list of stockholders,
which was verified by the committee.
He testified that it contained the name
of no employee in the pension Office,
except his own, and that no stock was
ever offered to any employee.
Cooper declared that the proceeding
was ex parte, that it was beneath the
dignity of member of congress or
respectable attorney to participate in
such an investigation.
He had not been permitted to look at
the stock-book.
The committee offered to allow him to
inspect the verified list, but he refused
to do so unless he could obtain access to
the books themselves.
Adjourned to September LIST.
