ported Next Week.
WASHINGTON, March 10, 1894.-The FL
nance Committee of the Senate met at half
past ten o'clock this morning, with all the
members present but Senators Sherman
and Mcpherson, tho latter having
been called to New York on account
of the serious illness of his
brother. It is the intention of the
committee to remain in session the greater
part of the day and make as much headway
as possible, the Democrats being desirious of
reporting the tariff bill to the Senate Tues
day morning, if possible. The Republicans
say this can hardly be done, as so short
time would not give them sufficient oppor-
tunity to go over the bill in detail.
The meetlug of the Senate Committee on
Finance was Unexpectedly short, owing to
the impossibility of the experts completing
the comparative statement that the figures
showing the probable receipts under the bill,
in time for the consideration of the COM
mittee After an informal discussion of the
subject in general without even reading
a single schedule of the bill, the committee
adjourned until Monday morning at half
past ten O'Clock. The republicans did not
unfold their plan of campaign and made no
requests regarding hearings. 1t does not
look as If the bill could, by any possibility,
be reported to the Senate next week, mas
much as the dSseigniorage bill comes up
in the open sessions of the Senate each day at
twelve o'clock until Thursday.

BROADWAY CAVED In
That Section of the Roadway
Opposite Hilton's Store
Entirely Disappears.
ONLY THE COBBLESTONEs REMAIN
An Old Water Course, Which Made
an Underground Channel.
Causes the Mischief

NEW YORK, March 10, 1894.-A section Of
Broadway at the junction of Tenth street
caved in this morning. There wasn't much
of crash, for with the exception of tho
sewer way down in the depths and the fire
hydrant that snapped off, also under ground,
nothing broke. However, the cave in left
hole in the ground more than forty feet
across and twenty deep, big enough at the
top for horse and cab to go through with
out the least trouble. Once in the hole.
there was room for dozen such rigs.
The spot where the cave in occurred is ON
the crossing between Hilton's store and
Fleischmann's cafe. There has been trouble
there before.
The bed of the roa dway is quicksand, and
had been reported as settling more than
once. There was trouble all the time in con-
sequence with the water pipes.
The past week gangs of men have been at
work fixing the water gate in the main
across Broadway, on the other corner.
Something was the matter with the valve.
1t is said, however, that it caused no Leak
age.
Leakage there must have been, neverthe-
less1 from one source or the other, to cause
the quicksand to settle, unless the old water
course that used to meander through the
Randall farm around the base of Sandy Hill
at that very point, made an underground
channel for itself somehow, quite unexpected,
and caused the mischief.
FIRST SIGN
Nobody had the least idea Of the extent Of

paving stone dropped out of sight, appeared

men working across the street to 1t, but they
didn't mind it and went on with their work.
The pavement was yet unbroken, except
for the one stone that had dropped through
when the men stopped work at one o'clock
this morning.
Some time later the cave-in occurred. A
policeman patrolling the post discovered il
and took immediate steps to prevent any
body crossing there.
As the morning wore on the hole grew
larger the sand settling down at the bottom
more and more until the jagged rent in the
pavement was as large as described, and the
cavity underneath that which yet hung sus-
pended, thin and dangerous shell, extended
half way across Tenth street and within q
foot of the cable conduit on Broadway.
SAND ENTIRELY DISAPPEARS.
Where the sand had all slid to was q
mystery. 1t had entirely disappeared. At

The broken hydrant was there too. But
neither Croton pipes nor gas pipes were in
jured. -
The watermen came early and set up the
fire hydrant first. Then gang Of sewer
men arrived, and the work Of closing up the
hole was begun. At ten o'clock the settling
of the sand seemed to have ceased.
A small crowd gathered. The police
drove it away at intervals, but it returned

LANDS OPEN TO SETTLEMENTS.
Must BE Occupied Three Years Be
fore Clear Title is Given.

WASHINGTON, March 10, 1S94-The House
Committee on Indian Affairs has adopted a
new policy of opening to settlement the re-
mainder of the Indian lands. The plan is
that these lands shall be opened to settlement
under the homestead laws and that the
settler shall occupy the lands three years be-
fore title can be obtained. Heretofore a
settlercould obtain title in fourteen months.
The system made the lands subject to specu-
lation, as settlers would occupy their sites
for the required time and then sell it to an
advantage. Some of the members of the
committee wanted to require an actual resi-
dence for five years before title could be OBJ
tained but compromise of three years was
agreed upon. 1t was also decided that here
after the government should not pay over
four per cent interest on money due Indians
in land purchased.

THE MYSTERY OF A BOMB.
Exploded in a Hotel-Intended for a
Lodger's Mistress.
By Gable to the United Pre-,

bU CQUtS W ute CHNcu TTeSS.
PARIS, March 10, 1S94-At an early hour
last evening, bomb was exploded in a
lodging house in Colombes, in the Depart
ment of the Seine, six miles northwest of
this city, report that startled the town. The
front part of the building was wrecked, and
windows were shattered in all directions.
The police hastened to the scene and
made the discovery that the
bomb had been exploded underneath the bed
of lodger, who declared that his landlady
had requested him to conceal it there. The man
was persistent in his endeavors to place the
responsibility for the explosion upon the
woman, and she was equally anxious to
throw the blame upon him. Her version of
the circumstances was that the man had
brought the bomb to his room in pursuance
of his threat to kill her if she persisted in her
expressed intention to cease her illicit rela-
tions with him, which she had sought to do.
The police took both into custody.

INsURaENT OPERATIONS IN RIO
By Cable to the United Press.

Rio DE JANEIRo, March 10, 1894.-Ac-
cording to official statements the march of
the insurgents upon Sac Paulo has not
been successful. The State of Sac Paulo
is abundantly able to keep out the insur-
gents without any outside assistance. A
rebel force would be equally unable to cross
the frontier of Sac Paulo from Rio Grande
do Sui, so that the danger of an insurgent
invasion is rendered very remote indeed.
Rio de Janeiro, Pernambuco, Santa Catarina,
Sac Paulo and Parana are now the only
States under martial law.
The Presidential decree issued February
2S sets forth that only crimes committed in
connection with the rebellion will be tried py
court martial.

RUssIAN-GERMAN TREATY.
Chancellor Won Caprivi Explains
Certain Provisions.

By Cable 10 the United Press.
BERLIN, March 10, 1894 the Reichstag
today Herr Meller, chairman of the COM
mittee in charge of the Russian-German
commercial treaty, reported that measure
to the Chamber, and discussion on the ques-
tion of its second reading was begun by DR..
Hasse National LiberaD, who advocated the
immediate passage of the treaty through its
second stage.
Chancellor Won Caprivi explained that the
abolition Of certificates of identity on reim-
ported cereals and the repeal OF the sliding
scale freight rates would form an organic
part of the treaty, though during times Of
exceptional distress specific provinces might
be excepted from the general operation OF
these clauses
Baron Marschall Won Bieberstein, Foreign
Minister, said there was no ground for fear
of an influx of undesirable elements under
the treaty, because each party thereto re-
served the right to reject or expel persons
who were obnoxious or inimical to the inter-
ests of the country.
Herr Lotze reform parity contended that
the treaty ought to be rejected because it
would open the frontier to an influx of
Jews
Herr Rickert Freisinnige) advocated the
adoption OF the treaty as speedily as pos
sible.
RAM opposed the treaty because he believed
it inflicted injury upon the agriculturalists.
Herr Iiebermann Won Sonnenberg, con-
tinuing, declared that fear of Russia had die
tated the treaty, but the Eastern
Provinces were still Prussian and
defied Russia The proposition was
monstrous, he Esaid, which ad-
mitted Russian Jews to enjoy all the
privileges of Germans, but which exempted
them from military service because they
were Russians. He warned the Government
that these Russian Jews would inevitably
oyerrun and monopolize entire villages and
absorb the prosperity of the provinces.
Cheers
Baron Won Hammerstein Conservative
protested against the admission of Jews, fol-
lowing the same line of argument as that of
the speaker Immediately preceding him.
Prince Badziwill (Pole) made brief speech
in favor of the treaty, and the first para
graph of the measure was adopted by vote

The Government receipts for the first third
of the month of March show decided i'm
provement, the aggregate to date being S9,-

Internal revenue receipts continue to show
heavy increases, and SO far, have aggregated
s4,5OO,OoO or 5000 for each working day.
All indications point to greater increase
for the balance of the month as
large quantities of whiskey is
being taken out of bond to avoid
the payment of the increased whiskey tax
provided in the tariff bill. Expenditures
for the month amounted to $11, ,00O, 900, of
which S., 500, 600 is on the pension account.
Sugar bounties are being paid in consider
able amounts, but, even with this, the ex-

COLUMBIAN GUARDS ON STRIKE

CHICAGO, March 10, 1s94.-The eighty
Columbian Guards, who, since the closing of
the Chicago Fair, had remained on duty at
jackson Park, struck yesterday afternoon,
owing, it is said, to the reduction to the
ranks of Sergeant Foss, who was favor
tie with the men, and the retention of an
other Sergeant, who was disliked. For
time it looked as though the entire park
would be without protection, but Captain
Rice finally succeeded in finding eight men
willing to serve as guards, and distributed
them among the buildings most exposed to
danger from incendiaries and thieves.
