The backbone of the street car
strike is broken. The Olive street
and Washington avenun lines started
cars yesterday morning under the
protection of the police , and , though
mmeuee crowds thronged the streets ,
there was no trouble. Only an ocoa-
eional cheer or expression of displeas
ure was heard.
Mtlitia to the number of 1500 , were
ield ready to suppress any trouble ,
bnt their services were entirely un
necessary. Many of the strikers
watched the proceedings sullenly.
They are down in the mouth , but un
willing to confess themselves beaten.
The Olive | street line pays on a basis
of 15 cents an hour to the Conductor ,
and 12 cents to the drivers. The
Washington avenue line , is on the old
basis , but promises , when the troubles
re over , to make a fair arrangement.
All the other lines will send cars out

posed strike , and a paper ia now in
circulation on all the lines getting

end district of Pennsylvania ; C. H.
Grieff , storekeeper and ganger of the

WASHINGTON , April 29 1 a , m. It
is reported here to-night that the par
ties named in connection with the
star route irregularities are making
up a statement of theiralde of the con-
troverry , in Which they will charge
that tbe mail coLtracts were aseetsed
last year to isite money for the re
publicans in Indiana , and that those
who are now directing the investiga
tion against the star route contracts
knew at the time how the money waa
to be raised.
Tne object of adjourning the Ben-
ate over until Monday is to give the
republican caucus committee an op
portunity to prepare their report.
Toe committee ot seven , which was
appointed , is composed of senators
representing all the intereita and el
ements of the republican party.
It haa been substantially sgreed to
make the Chinese treaties the subjict
of the first executive session. fhe
administration is anxious that the
treaties shall be disposed of at as
early a date s possible , in order that
the naval attache of tha United
States legation at Pekin , who is new
ready to leave here , may carry with
him the ratification or rejection of the
treaties. In addition to the
dealre of the administration on
thia subject great pressure is being
brought to bear upon the senators by
the people of the Pacific coast , who
are urging some action on the treaties
on the ground that the Chinese immi
grants are pouring into California
ports at a dally average of about one
thousand. The caucus committee en
deavor to prevent any contested nom
ination from coming up in order to
krrp the repeblican side of the cham
ber bnrmoulouB during the dead-lock.
An tffort will be .made to postpone
the fight nver tbe Robertson case un
til next December. The committee
will consult with the president and
also with tbe senators who are likely
to raise objections to the nominations
already aent in before making their
report.

VALIANT SENATORIAL ttEFBKCB OP $ BK-
VIOUS DEMOCRATIC CtTSSEDNES9
WA-BINQTON , D. 0. , April 29. 1
a. m After several ineHecUal dila
tory nvociona Bailer , of South Care
llna , took the floor , and defended his
state aga nst the charge of treason
and revolutionary intentions.
Senator Butler , referring to Frye'a
recent speech , deprecated the uaeleas-
ness of the question as to who was re
sponsible for slavery in the south
The Contest now was between a liber
ty loving people and a bloated plu
tocracy who sought to suppress them.
Ha cited cases jbf alleged election
fraud , and amoi g other instances he
referred to the New Hampshire post *
master who had been assessed for
election expenses in Maine.
Senator Rollins interrupted in a de
nial of this , and Senator Hale kept
continually aiking for names end loC -
C + liues , intimating that he shruld reply -
[ ply ns aoon as the senator had con
cluded. .
Senator Butler spoke until htlf-past
two o'clock , concluding'with an argu
ment against tbe idea that
this country was the abso
lute government of majorities.
Senator Burnslde made a speech , in
which be denied that the senator from
Sou'h Carolina had demon trated bj
irrefragible proof that there was a fou
bargain in the renate , but stated thai
he would not refer the senator to his
promise to resign his eat.
Senator Butler sMd that if , on the
other hand , he hid proved a bargain
he would hold the Senator from Rhode
Island to his promise to give up his
commission-
Senator Hale did not undertake to
take care of his colleague , who was
abundantly able to take care of him
self , bnt he desired to apeak on the at
tack just marie upon the civilization o :
the atate of Miine. The senator hat
brought up againai the state of Maim
nothing more than could be founc
against any state or people under the
heavous. He had only been follow
ing out the democratic plan of digging
up private letters , etc , to show thai
other other si ties had had suspicions
of the same corruption that existed in
the south. The speaker denied thai
there had over been any individual
political outrages in his state , and as
serted the honorable , frugal , patriotic
character of her people. He entered
into a detailed denial-oftome , of the
outrages alleged by the senator from
South Carolina , and laid all the found
ation for such charges against the peo-
p'o ' of Maine at the doer of the demo
crats and fusioriists.
Fi lluwing this speech came an in
effectual motion that the senate pro
ceed to the consideration of the ex
ecutive business. Then a resolution
offered by Senator Mahone was
passed , calling upon the attorney-
general fur a copy of thn special re
port of Commissioner 0. C. Lancas
ter to the United States marshal of the
western district of Virginia.
At 3:35 : the senate adjourned until

tATER BKfOBTS.
EtdiK , April 29 1 a. m. tute re-
lorta from the scene of- the cataa-
; roph < 5 any that the ferry over Fox
river capsized In the middle of the
stream while abont thlrty-throd little
children were on board , of whom
iwenty were saved. Several were
rescued by boats which iit oat from
either shore. The following are
mlaaine : Thorna- " Murphy , married ,
aged 30 ; George Taj lor , age 16 , eon
of James Taylor of' 41 North street ;
HujOnrliolo , i 0o lOj Don of Ouyoavl-
aor Carlisle of 33 State atreet. The
athw waa 15 by id feet , and waa firat
uaed yesterday It haa been Con
denned by the public from the aUtt
OmcAad , , April 29 i a. m. The
Journal's Elgin special gives the fol
lowing account of the ferry-boat ac-
cidentjyesterday forenoon : The boat
was a mere acow , which had been pur
chased cheaply for the purpose of
supplying the pressing wants of the
passenger traffic across the Fuz river ,
occasioned by the destruction of the
bridges by the recent flood. A cable
waa stretched across from bank to
bank at Main street , and the boat waa
propelled in the uaual fashion , frith
the exception that the head line waa
made shorter than the other , so that
the action of the ctirrent eoilld darry
the craft. This waa frund to work
well enough , but the trouble waa that
the boat waa not big enough to sup
ply the demand , and waa found to be
overloaded. It had capacity to carry
with aafeiy some twelve passengers ,
bat those in charge were not over par
tlcular when the crowd waa waiting to
be ferried across , and the little acow
waa loaded down with twice the num
ber of people that could be transport
ed from shore to shore without peril <
This waa the Carte yesterday forenoon ,
at abc.ut the boor when the Children
were proceeding to school , and bud-
ne a mbn wer Rtilng to their Inbon
, from the east to the tfe&t aide of the
rivof.
The boat waa in mid stream when
all of a ajidden it dipped to one aide
and precipitated every one into the
rushing torrent , which at that point
ia strong , even in ordinary times.
There waa a wild shriek of dismay
from the men , wi men , boys and girli
on boord the ill-fated craft , and in a
few minutes the whole town was in a
panic of excitement. Tha streets were
tilled in an instant with people al
rushing wildly to the tcene of the dia
aater , and very soon the banks of the
river were lirud with people striving
vainly to render aid to the helpless
sufferers who were atrnggling in the
water. Men rushed from thefr a'hopa
and women ran screaming toward tbe
stream , bnt the difficulty of reaching
any point along the bank where ale
could be given only served to increase
the confusion , and the most that
coold be done .waa to look OH in dia
pair at the deplorable apec'acle ' o
their townsmen and children battling
hopelessly amidst the raging water
of the swollen river.
The moat distressing sight of all
was that of the children , who were
perfectly helpless in the situation.
Even men who bad learned the art o
swimming found the current irristable
and 'were carried away to water
deaths , before it waa possible to ren
dorauccor , while the young-people
were simply helpless as straws. The
first reports of the 'disaster naturally
exaggerated the number of passengers
wbo'were OB board , and , as many par
ents had sect theit children to school I
over the ferry inatexd of sending them
around by the bridge near the watch
factory aa formerly , the utmost con
sternation reigned throughout the
town. It was somewhat modified
wnen it was discovered thai not aa
many passengers as was at first sup
posed had been seen to go on board.
THE SnsSINO AND LOST.
Those missing and known to have
been on are , Thoa. Murphy , Andrew
Dawsan , John Corbin , May Carlisle ,
Geo. Taylor , William Coleville , Elmer
Foster and a little girl named Francis
Orelghton. J. A. Slmond , of New
York , and J. S. Lockwood , of Bock-
ford , gueata at the Waverly Bouae ,
are musing , and as ibe > intended
crossing on the boat It ia believed they
are lost.
The river is being dragged , but no
qqoiea have yet teen found. A low
estimate wonld place the drowned at
twelve or fifteen.
A Noted Forger Balled.
CHICAGO , April 28 It is stated
this morning that Jaa. B _ Doyle , the
forger and counterfeiter arrested five
months ago , with nearly half a million
dollars in forged government bonds in
his pojisesjion , his been liberated en
bail , giving a bond of 520,000 , his1
sureties being Washington L'.bby , of
Libby , McNeil and Libby , pork
packers and capitalists of BradfordIlL
Doyle has gone to New York and
Waahiag on. It Is alleged t at before
leaving this city he made a flying vis
it to the jail and boasted to his former
] 'ail associates that he bad no doubt
that hia influence at Washington
would be sufficient to quash any
Indictment which might be brought
against him. It is further
vaguely hinted that Do le is nble to
implicate parties to whose advantage
It wonld be to see that the case against
him wai not prosecuted. Detectives
believe he will make torn * startling
revelations if necessary to do so In
order to secure immunity. Doyle has
always been remarkably reticent re
garding h's ' connection with the
forgers ,
