BLAIR BILL DEAD.
IT'S DEFEAT IN THE UNITED STATES
SENATE YESTERDAY.
Yote-The Views of Senator
Barbour.
Special telegram 70 tho Dispatch.l

WASHINGTON. ID. c., March 2O.-The de-
feat Of the Blair bill is q topic of lively
conversation tonight. and the prevailing
OPINION is that Mr. Blair made a great mis-
take in delivering such long-winded
speeches himself in the Senate. He prac-
tically talked the measure TO death. but be
snouid not have all the blame, az leading
hepublican senator's hike Sherman, Came
ron, Quay. ingalls,, Plumb. Spooner, His
cock, farwell, and Aldrich made up their
minds weeks ago that the bill must be
MIR. Blair was greatly sgitated during the
progress of the vote, and when the result
was announced he turned pale. He was
greatly disappointed. for while. be has re-
allied for two months or more that tho bill
was losing strength he was not willing TO
admit that 1t would be defeated. This
morning he claimed that the bill would
receive o majority of three, but he then
counted on both Senators Sherman and
Earwel. and was dumbfounded when they
recorded their votes in the negative.
Senator Barbour. who earnestly support
ed the measure, regrets very much its de
feat. as he says the northern people enamel
pated the negroes and they should help TO
educate them He claims that 1t IS not
fair 10 expect the white men of the South
TO educate the negroes without any help.

A FAMOUS REGIMENT.
Some of the Performances OF the Fifth
French Hussars.


The Fifth Hussars are the most famous
cavalry regiment in the French army. In
all probability this regiment will be at the
head Of the French forces on the first en-
gagement in the coming war with Ger
MANY. It was first named the BeausObre
Hussars and fought in the Seven-Years'
War. Later on IL became the COlOnel-Gen-
eral Hussars, and at the outbreak of the
Revolution 1t received IT'S present name.
II took an active part in the bat
ties Of Nalmy, Jemmapes, Mattignies, and
in other engagements in Holland, Germa-
nv, Spain. and Russia. It had a hand in
all the great military affairs, and several
times gained the eulogies OF the first Ma
poleon. In January. 1892, it performed the
strangest feat that was ever accomplished
by any cavalry regiment since the world
Overwhelmingly the capture Of an entire
fleet. At that time the Dutch war yes
sells got fast in the ice of the TeXel.
A cavalry charge was about the last
thing that the Admiral expected; but that
is lust what he received, and the loss of
his vessels was the consequence. AT the
battle of fiohenlinden, in 1900, the Fifth
Russars decided the contest by repeat
ed charges and the capture of eigh-
ty guns. IN 1906, after Jena, 1t formed
a mart of the famous internal brigade "
of General lasalle and captured the fort
regs of Stottin. Ii was this extraordinary
exploit that brought ont Napoleon's letter
TO Murat: Since your hussars can take
fortresses. may as well dismiss my corps
of engineers aud have my heavy artillery
melted"
During the Franco-Prussian war this
regiment did some of the hardest fighting;
At the battle of Reconcile II saved several
Guns that were on the point OF being taken
Iv the Prussians. and ut Bitche it cOntri-
buted TO the splendid defence OF the place
and came out with all the honors of war,
along with the rest Of the garrison which
held out until after the treaty of peace.
The Fifth Hussars is at present COM
handed by Colonel Briez, a dashing SOL
der. whose value is well known in military
circles. II is stationed at Pont-a-Alousson
and forms the extreme advance guard OF
the French army, within sight of the city

OGults break has widcned to 400 feet.
The Government steamers withtheir men

the north.
The PicapmGs Tallulah special says:
The break at Raleigh is still widening.
The ends are not protected yet. The water

BERLIN. March 2O.-Meyer, the Freisinige
candidate for the Reichstag in the First di-
vision of Berlin. in o speech TO the electors
to-day said that General Won Caprivi WIS q
former schoolmate of his. The new Chan
cellor. he said, was a Free Conservative,
but would deal fairly with the views OPP
posed TO his own and would be willing TO
discuss the matters in an attitude to
which the opposition had hitherto been
unaccustomed.
The National Zeitun9 notes that the con-
templated military reforms in connection
with the one-year volunteer service, proce-
dure of the military courts, and a reduction
of infantry service were all proposed by
the radicals at the last session of the
Reichstag. Prince Blsmarck's acceptance
of the dukedom, the offer of which from
Emperor William first he repeatedly de-
clined, has caused surprise. II is learned
that Delahaye has rendered his resigna-
ton as q delegate 10 the Labor Conference
because of the difference with Jules
Simon. The dispute between the two
French representatives has now been set
tied, and Delaheye has withdrawn his
resignation.

arguments that have been made IN

of the speech making IT was noticed
that only twenty-thTee Republicans
wore in thew seats. and the number who
actually listened to-day was. not much
larger Tho Republicans made mp their

a certain number of seats, and they picked
ont the cases that were tho most
plausible. They have already unseated
four Democrats. and they are gong TO
turn out three more beyond doubt, ana
