The DAWN the Senate.

WASHINGTON, d. c., January 29.-Mr.
Chandler. Republican, New Hampshire,
diverted the Senate to-day by arraigning
two Republican Senators (Messrs. Hoar,
OF Massachusetts. and Platt, OF Connec-
ticnD for putting forward against the
anti-option bin constitutional argument
that would be equally strong in its appli-
cation to the tariff law. He warned them
that they would be called upon
to defend the tariff law in the
next Congress, il the democrats
were true to the platform on which the
Presidential ticket had Seen elected; and
ne intimated that their contention that tax
es could only be imposed for the purpose
of revenue, not for the purpose OF destruc-
ton. would be fatal to high protective
system. At the conclusion OF Mr.. Chand-
leris speech, the anti-option bill went over
without action, an agreement having pre-
viously been reached that the vote on that
bill shall be taken on Tuesday, next week.

Last Two Weeks-Underwriters Were
Frauds.
PARIS, January 23.-The sub-commission
appointed TO examine the records OF the un-
derwriting syndicates which helped 10
float Panama loans, reported that they hao
found evidence of enormous frauds.
Men who had not risked cent Tor the
enterprise had made exorbitant pronts
from their dealings with the company.
The so-called underwriters had employed
MANY lobbyists and other Intermediates
whose business was TO give brioes.
The trial OF the men whom M. FRANCE
vile. the examining magistrate, regards
as criminally involved in the Panama
scandal, will begin probably late In teoru-
arv and last some two weeks.
Excepting Baihut, however, the names
of the defendants can only be surmlsed.
The report of the autopsy held on Baron
De Reiuach was sent this evening TO the
Proceurer General.
The report states that no trace OF poison
was found in the body, but that the ex-
amining physicians are unable 10 assert
that Reinach died Of natural causes. .
The uusatisfactoriness OF this resglt OF
the autopsy is due TO the fact that KEN
ach's body was not exhumed until oecom-
position was far advanced.

The Nisconsin senatorsI,ip.

MADISON, Wis, January 23.-Phe Times
to-day charged Gen. Bragg with the re-
sponSibility for attacks upon knight,
which have appeared in various parts, and
as a result the Senatorial situation is be-
coming exciting The Bragg men deny
the Generals authorship of the attacks,
and the Knight men declare they do not
believe the story. AS a consequence, il
looks today as if the Bragg men and
knight men had formed q combination
against Mitchell by which the Milwaukee
man will lose the race, as it is feared he
cannot hold out against the combination.
The caucus meets at 10 o'clock tonight,
and balloting must commence in the Legis-
latnre at noon tomorrow.

CINCINNATI, o., January 23-The situa-
ton at the river is growing brighter as the
softening weather holds out. The river
men are prepared for the event and are
content to wait. There was but little, if
any, actual thawing to-day, but the tenn
perature is slowly softening the snow and
ice.
Vigilance is not at all relaxed, for it is
impossible TO tell what moment the ice
might go out, especially if the river should
rise, and there is every prospect Of that at
any moment. Coal men will be enabled TO
move their barges with a day or to more of
