FOREIGN NEWS.

CHICAGO, Nov. 22.--The Rev. p.
M. Flanagan, pastor Of st. AIMS
church, Of this city, has received a
graphically written letter from Bish-
op Auguoard, vicar apostolic of Cub
aughi, on the Upper Congo. Can
nibalism there is of an every day oc-
curence. The letter says In part:
IA Frenchman, Mr.. de Ponmayrac,
has just been killed aud eaten in
Upper Oubaughi, with 10 black sol
diers and 33 carriers. A Belgian ex-
pedition has just been destroyed on
the Upper Congo by the Arabs, who
put eight Europeans to death by
veritable martyrdom. The chief of
the expidition was forced to look at
his arm taken off, which was then
roasted and eaten in his presence;
the same was then done with the
others, in the slowest and most pain
full manner possible. 1t is horrible,
and when shall it be our turn?
Within the next six month will
go to found new mission at the
place where Mr.. de Ponmayric was
killed and eaten, and / implore the
cooperation of your prayers for the
success of this important undertake
ing.
BERLIN, Nov. GA private dis
patch from Odessa confirms the re-
port that General Boronoff had died
of poison. Boronof was recently
appointed to inquire into the finan-
iai administration of the affairs of
the city of Tashkand, in Asiatic
Russia. 1t was suspected at the
time of his death that his examinat-
ion had led to the discovery of a sys-
tenn ofrobbery and misappropriation
of the civil funds by the most pro-
minent officials, and his removal by
poison was determined on by those
implicated in the expected exposure.
His sudden death before his report
could be handed in aroused the sus-
picion of the government. and a
post-morton examination verified
the suspicion. The murderers are
expected to be arrested mOmentari-
ly, and the most sensational devel-
opments are looked for.
PARIS. Nov. 22.-The death of
Baron de Reinach, who was one Of
the men compromised in the Pana-
ma scandal, has opened considerable
discussion, and stories are afioat
that, rather than stand prosecution,
he committed suicide. This morn
ing it is said his death was caused by
cerebral excitement brought on by
the diacnyary thai pR pReshRassu If the
canal scondal had been stolen from
him. His family refused to allow
an autopsy to be held, and this is
taken as confirmation OF the sui
eide theory. The family give as
their reason for refusing to allow an
autopsy that it is contrary to the
Jewish religion. The baron leaves
fortune of $4,000, 900 francs.

TACOMA, April Especial. IA package
OF 81, 100 was stolen from the Northern
Pacific Express Company's Office at
Orting. The package was received from
California on March 26, and Mr.. Cox, an
Orting merchant, to whom it was con-
signed, was notified by Agent Laken. He
left the money at the express office, and
Laken, contrary to the regulations of the
company, did not return it to the sender
when Cox failed to take it inside of
two days. On April s. Laken, on opening
the safe, found the package missing. He
changed the combination the week pre-
vious. McEwen, night operator at Orting,
is the only person having full access to
Office.
1t is said that the Orting officials played
poker; also that the disappearance of the
money resembles the mysterious flching
of the $500 package from Wells, Fargo
d Co., here.
Ex-Agent Mcintyre, of that company,
and his clerk, Stewart, of this city, who
were arrested at Portland charged with
stealing the $500 package here, were re-
leased today for lack of evidence. Sulli-
van says he dismissed the case to do away
with two trials, and that he will have evil
dence to bring the case to trial in the su-
perior court.

INDEPENDENCE, Mo-, April THE morn
ing session of the reorganized Church of
the Latter Day Saints was given
up to religious services, which were
conducted by Elders Hillyard, of
Illinois. and Blakeslee of Michigan The
former, in his sermon, denounced the gen.
eral disobedience of the revelation of 1857,
which forbids the use of tobacco by Latter
Day Saints, and urged its obedience The
afternoon session was devoted to business.
The quorum of the seventy, the high priests
and teachers, made reports of their work
for the year, which were, without excep-
ton. of very fiattering nature. A COM
mittee was appointed to attend the Worlds
fair at Chicago, for the purpose of adver-
tising to the world the principles and
plans of the church. An adjournment
until tomorrow was then taken.

Tension Office Sensation.

WASHINGTON CITY, April IA sensation
was sprung Unexpectedly in the Raum in
vestigation this morning, when Mr.. Enloe
asked the secretary if congressman ever
sold information of the status of claims to
pension attorneys. Mr.. Raum had big
bundle OF papers and was prepared
for that sort of questions, for he
produced and read letter in
which the charge was made that
Samuel II. Hersey had, through Legran &
Co., of kenton, o., and H. C. Peet, of
Columbus, Ind, carried on quite busi-
ness of this sort, charging s. to each claim
ant for the status. 1t was then shown
that Hersey had called up the cases on
congressional slips signed by Representa-
tive Cooper, of Indiana, one of the pros
ecutors Of the case. Hersey also worked
for Brookshire of Indiana and Gantz Of
Ohio, but it was not shown that Hersey's
connection with them had been the same
case as in the Cooper case

AIE. DoLPH IN TROUBLE.
For Attacking the Action of tho House
On the Anti Chinese ELL.

For Attacking the Action of tho House
On the Anti Chinese Bill.
WAsHrNGroN CITY, April 7-Senator
Dolph was asked last evening if the for
eign relations committee had taken action
on the Geary Chinese bIll.' Dolph answered
that the committee had not met, rs Chair
man Sherman had left the capital with
out calling committee meeting. The
Senate cannot be hurried in this matter.
1t has already passed Chinese bill and
had right to expect the House to amend
that bill and pass it so as to secure an I'M
mediate conference, instead of which it
passes the Geary bill, which comes into
the Senate as a new bill, which must be re-
ferred, reported, go on the calendar and
take its chances. Dolph continued:
am moved TO believe that Geary either did
not want any Chinese legislation this season or
else is striving to make political capital II he
wanted to expedite matters why did he not,
when the Senate bill reached the House, strike
out all but the enacting clause and amend by
inserting the provisions of his bill? That is
frequently done. II i. had been done in this
instance we might have been in conference on
it today. Now it is impossible TO say when the
Senate will act, having the silver, tariff, appro-
pria;ion and other important matters to take up
its time.
After leaving Dolph, the correspondent
called upon Geary and asked him if he
had any reply to make to Dolph's charges.
|, Geary expressed surprise that Dolph
should make such statements in view of
the record of both houses in this regard.
Geary said:
The facts are that my bill had been reported
favoraby by the foreign affairs committee OF
the House and placed upon its final passage full
two weeks before Dolph's bill was received
from the Senate. With my bill SO advanced
there was no obligation OF precedence, courtesy
or expediency requiring me to sacrifice my
bill and amend Dolph's. To be sure that would
have given Dolphs name to the bill which
would have carried my provisions, but We are
not required to make capital for Republican
senators. There is another point. Two weeks
after my bill was on the House calendar Dolph
rushed his bill through the Senate, and the
record shows the California senators did not open
their mouths on the subject. Why did they not
amend Dolph's bill? They knew it was not
what the people OF California wanted, for it
only extended for ten years the present notori-
ously imperfect law. The truth is that when it
found the Democratic House was about to pass
rigid exclusion act the order went out in the
Senate to rush through without debate or
amendment Republican bill known to be what
is not wanted. Before Dolph again lectures the
House he must see that the record backs up his
statement
In the Senate today a memorial signed

further reported that Erastus Wiman had

about the matter, declined to say who the
projectors of the enterprise were, but
added that they were by no means con-
fined to New York.

WASHINGTON Cry, April 7-TSpecial. l.
At a meeting of the commerce committee
today the principal time was devoted to
the Lake Washington ship canal. Both
Senators Allen and Squire were present
and made brief argument and submitted
written statements as to the needs for the
appropriation asked for in Senator Squire's
bill providing for the beginning of the
work ON this important waterway. In a
statement submitted by the two Washing
ton senators there was little informa-
ton that has not already been telegraphed
to the PosT-INTELLIGENCER.
Senator Squire in his statement submit
ted his views upon the question in very
strong language, and Senator Allen made
his statement practical guide for the
committee in making up the report. pro-
viding that the bill Is reported favorably,
as now seems to be the case. 1t is learned
tonight that the members of the commerce
committee are practically agreed upon a
favorable report on this bill There is one
exception, however. Another senator
comes from Northwestern state and
is anxious to have the appropriation
for waterways in his state made
ahead of the Lake Washington measure
1t is barely possible that some agreement
may be reached by which he may with

CHICAGO. April John NJ. Weinbold, a
Denver bookseller. today began $4,000
libel suit in the United States circuit court
against Patton and Bartlett, proprietors
Of the Rcgister-Gazstte, of Rockford, Ill.
Weinbold charges that the Gazette printed
q grossly libelous article last January,
charging him with being implicated in a
murder committed IN Denver. Weinbold
asserts that the only excuse for the publi-
cation of the article was the fact that the
murder was committed at residence
near his own; that his friends and rela-
tives nearly all live near Rockford, and
the circulation given she story has greatly
injured his character.

WASHINGTON CITY, April I'm the
mittee on elections, submitted the
minority report on the Noyes-Rockwell
contested case. The report was ordered
printed.
Wilson of West Virginia then took the
floor to close the debate on the free wool
bill. He said it was not his purpose to re-
view in detail the already much-debated
provisions of this bill; neither was it his
purpose to make comparison of the con-
fiicting systems of taxation that were now
struggling for mastery in the land. At
the conclusion of Wilson's remarks he
was warmly applauded and received the
warm congratulations of his colleagues.
The vote was then taken ON the bill. The
bill was passed. Yeas, 1874; nays, 90.
Funston of Kansas, rising to question
of privilege, sent to the clerks desk and
had read an article published in the New
York Voice, which for ten minutes kept
the House in whirlwind of laughter and
perriment. The article, which is headed
"A Few of the Congressional Tipplers, /"
goes on to mention names OF dozen or
more senators and an equal number of
representatives who at the Senate and
House restaurants have been seen indulg-
ing in Intoxicating liquors. His (Mr
Funston's) name was one of those men,

Wheeler of Alabama made the point of
order that the gentleman should not use
such language on the floor of the House.
Funston said he was informed that the
correspondent was not q woman. He had
been told the name of the man who wrote
the article. Funston then took his seat
amid Kisses.
The House then went into committee of
the whole, Blount of Georgia in the chair,
on the Turner cotton bill. After short
debate the committee rose.
Wheeler of Alabama rose to a
question of privilege with a reso-
luton declaring it was due to
the good name of the House of Represen-
tatives that the remarks of Funston today
relative to woman should be expunged
from the record Burrows asked the gem
tleman to withhold his resolution. He
was assured by the gentleman from Kan
sas that anything that could be criticised
would be eliminated from the record.
Wheeler said that with that assurance he
would allow the resolution to lie upon the
table. The House then adjourned.

of mortgages made to him in Alameda,
Cal, whereon there was an obligation that

Representative Wilson expects to have the
Colville Indian reservation opened under
a modified treaty which the Indian COM
mittee of the House have agreed to accept

There is some doubt whether the Indians

reservation was established by executive
order, and it is believed that any portion
of it may be opened to settlement by presi-
Dental proclamation without regard to
making any treaty with the Indians.
Bv the notifications of the treaty it is
not proposed to pay the Indians until the
lands are sold to actual settlers. If the
Indians accept these changes, then the
