SENATE.
Special Dltpatch to "Is * Bi * .
WASHINGTON , April 11. No caucus
w a hold by either eldp" of the senate
thia morning.
Mr. Edmunds occupied his seat for
the first time In three weeks.
On a motion to proceed te the con
sideration of executive business , the
vote wai , ayes 19 , nays 20 , juit a
quorum voting.
At 12:25 p. m. Mr. Call , of Florida ,
resumed the floor to proceed with the
speech begt > n by him last Thursday.
Ho took up the original point that it
wu bad taite for the Massachusetts
senator to attack the free ballot in
the south when their own conitito-
tions disfranchised so many. He was
continually interrupted by Messrs.
Hosr and Dawes , who tried to put
their suffrage laws In a right light. He
also cited the acknowledged inequality
of legulitiive representation In Con
necticut , and the circumstances in
Vermont and Rhode Island as incon
sistent with the present issue of free
ballot. Mr. Call spoke for justice an
honr.
honr.Mr.
Mr. Dawes , In replying , alleged that
the only posilblo objectionable quali
fication in his state was that each
voter should read and writa. Her
schools were free and we could learn
if we wished , and new comer ? , being
obliged to remain a year before voting ,
had ample time to avail themselves
of this requlrament.
Mr. Camden followed , reading his
speech in an almost inaudible tone , iu
defense of West Virginia's position in
rcl&tion to the public debt of the old
state of Virginia. He endeavored to
show that West Virginia had tried to
do her share in the matter.
Mr. Cneron followed Mr. Camden
in a short speech , referring to Mr.
Back's recent remarks on tbo fai.ure
of the Pennsylvania legislature to en
dorse the action of its cenators , and
read a resolution passed by the Penn
sylvania legislature in contradiction of
the failure.
Mr. Beck. replied that he recog
nized the power to have accomplished
by telegram what he had thought per
sonal presence would have been nec
essary.
Mr. Vest then took the floor. He
denied Mr. Sherman's statement that
the will of the majority was supreme.
The minority had more rights than
the right of debate , and this one
meant to exercise them , If it took un
til December. He referred also to
the republican coalition with tbo ro-
adjabterf , and expressed especial won
der that the late secretary of the
treasury should support these , for
sympathy with whom , he threatened
to remove the government officials at
Petersburg , V . , during his term of
office. The ipealcer read the corres
pondence between Commissioner
Ilium and'J. H. Van Anken , tobacco
inspector tPetersburg , V . , in which
Van Ankeu'a sympathizing with the
osdjusters is referred to as criminal
and dangerous , to which Van Anken
eplicd with an expiation which the
, hen sbcreUry of the treasury finally
oneidered satisfactory.
Mr. Vest continued that a voice
rom heaven , or some other direction ,
muit have come to the senator from
Ohio rte canie him to now with to
place In office' inch a "great" readjast-
or aa Rlddlebsrger. ' 'Such' amorous
dalliance has'never been seen ou'eide
of the bridal chamber , where Hymen
drawi the mystic veil. Republicans
seem able to swallow repudiationtike
down elimination and embark on re
adjustment , if we will only give them
a free ballot and an honest count.
The main issue of the last.campaign
-was the solid § outhnd the kulclax ,
oonpled with Hancock , and free ballot
and fair count , coupled with GarCeld.
The senator frem Virginia then made
his choice. Why did he not then de
clare in favor of fair count ? The sen
ator from Ohio said he ( Mshone ) had
little platform of his own. Tha
president of the United States about
eighteen months aio siid he would
never shake hands with a rebel who
had not openly repented. The sena
tor from Virginia had said here open
ly that he had no apology to make for
hia part In the war , and yet ho full
back into the amorous tmbraco oi
the junior senator from Massachu
setts , while the air was tilled with the
xoma of rare exotics , aent from the
executive conservatory to grace the
marriage fewt. ( Loud laughter. )
Mr. Allison occupied a few mo
menta clearing the skirts of the state
of Iowa from the charge of repudia
tion.

Mr. Beck announced that h ? in
tended to make some remarks in the
morning , and was awarded the floor.
At 4:45 : the senate.ndjourned.

was received with great demonstra

of South Africa , and pave the way
possibly to a union under one govern

RUSSIAN NAVAL AFFAIRS.
A St. Petersburg correspondent
saya It Is now probable that the grand
duke , Constantine , brother of thelato
cz r , and uncle of the present czar
will resign the administration of Rus
slan naval affairs tohis nephew , Grand
Duke Alexia , second brother of the
reigning cz r. The cbango is sup
posed to indicate economy and reform
in naval affairs , and abettor feeling
between the families of Constantine
and Alexis.
It will be remembered that Constantine
stantino , son of Grand Duke Niche
las Constantlnovitcb , was recently
placed under arrest by the order of the
present czar. He had been exiled to
Toer on account of his famous connec
tion with a diamond scandal. Upon
the assassination of the
late czarhe re
quested permission to return to St.
Petersburg. The
permission was re-
fneod , but he returned nevertheless
and was immediately arrested for dis
obeying the czar's command. Ill informed -
formed correspondents attributed his
arrest to supposed implication in the
nihilistic plots , but the real cause was
aa above.
BETTER THE ROPE THAN 8IBEKIA *
LONDON , April 12-1 a. m. It „
probable that the nihilist , Sophie
Piaroflsky will be spared hanging for
the part she took in the assassination
of the czar. For more than fifty yeara
pist no execution of a woman has
taken place in Russia. The Jewess
Jessie Helfmann , will also probably
escapa the extreme penalty.

LONDON , April 11 10 p. m. This
morning bulletins fram Beaconafield's
sick room indicate his continued
weakness , and no change for the bet
ter. Lord Rowton , his private secre-
tnry , held a short interview with him
this morning.
LONDON , April 12 1 a. m Public
apprehension concerning Lord Bea
consfield's condition is renewed by the
decided change in him for the worse.
He has had another violent attack of
spasms , and his physicians are sur
rounding his bedside exhibiting the
most profound anxlay. It is believ
ed that his daath is imminent , and
cannot be delayed m ny hours. In
an interview between Lord Beacons-
field and Lord Riwton , otherwise Mr.
Montague Corry , his former private
secretary , his lordship gave somewhat
elaborata directions as to the publica
tion of his biography and the disposal
of his private papers and voluminous
correspondence. All these , both ma
terials for his biography , and the
great m&ss of letters covering the po
litical , official and private correspond
ence of his lordship's public career ,
passed through Mr. Corry's hands ,
\ud most of them wera written by him.
During intervals between his transient
atUcks of pain. Lord Baaconsfield'a
mind was perfectly clear , and he
seemed to take great interest in the
instructions he was giving Mr. Oorry.
Ee desired bis old secretary to take
charge of all his letters , and weed out
those which should never ba publish
ed from the rest , and he was particu
lar iu saying that he did not wish any
of his letters , which contained un
friendly allusions to certain persons ,
oriated until they had passed away ,
or until events had robbed them of
any ating which they now might have.
As to his illness and approaching end ,
Lord Beaconafiold spoke without the
slightest despondency or regret. He
said he had lived beyond the usual
limit of human life , and had no Morrow
at being obliged to leave it.
LATER Lord Beaconafield , since
the first bulletin was issued , has
slightly improved , anil has gained
some strength.

CHEEEINGCATTLEBEPORTS
Wyoming Stock in a Flour
ishing Condition.
Mr. Swan , the csktilo king , and
Messrs. Keith and Van T siel , also
well known cattle men , all oi Uhoy-
eune , Wyoming Territory , are In the
city for a few days , stopping at the
Withnell. Mr. Swan U especially en
gaged in looking after the thoniand or
more hend of beeves which were
driven from the Willow Springs dis
tillery shed * by the present
inundation. In coayorsatien Isst
evening he stated that the cat
tle that had not been shipped
would doubtless be returned to the
sheds by to-night , aa a large
enough force will be put on to repair
all damage by the flood aa fast as the
waters subside. Referring to the
general condition of cattle throughout
Wyoming he stated that it was better
than had ever before been known
notwithstanding the sensational re
ports in the Chicago papers.
The entire loss throughout the terri
tory would not , in his opinion , exceed
five per cent. In many parts the
cattle were now fat enough to ship ,
the grass during the winter having
remained in excellent condition.
There are about 450,000 head of
cattle now under the charge of the
cow-boys in the territory , and the increase -
crease of stock this yew will be very
large. Mr. Swan alone Is interested
in forty one thousand head , or more
than one-tenth of the entire number ,
and his opinion as to the cheerful con
dition of affairs is doubtless the most
reliable to be obtained.

The Coat and Results of the Afghan
War.
According to the official estimates
lately presented to parliament , the to
tal cost of the Afghan war , up to the
31st inst , including the frontier rail-
wayi , is $97,500,000. The loss of life ,
of course , Is not reckoned. Govern
ments rarely think of that important
factor. What has England got for her
enormous outlay of money ! Nothing ,
absolutely nothing. Not a foot of
new territory ; not an additional sub
ject ; no advantage of any sort , pres
ent or prospective. The government
has decided to abandon Candahar ,
and the Ust British soldier will leave
that city early next month when
troops from Cabul are expected to ar
rive and take posiesiion in the name
of the ameer , Abdurrahman Kahn.
That weak sovereign is to be Invested
with sole and exclusive authority in
Afehsniatan , and If he holds It a year
will disappoint those who know him
and the country best Not only has
England gained no advantage by the
heavy investment in blood and gold ,
but she has really lost advantage *
hitherto possessed. Bef re the war
the Afghans were reasonably friendly
toward the English. Now , It Is a
part of every Afghan's reli
gion to hate every English-
m n. Sir Frederick Eoberts , who
has abnndint opportunity for
learning their feelings on the subject ,
says : "The lets they see of us , the
less they will dislike us. " The war
wai undertaken , aa onr readers will
remember , for the purpose of estab
lishing such InQa
as would make It an eflfoctt vo barrier
to Russian invfttlon of ludU. If Rus
sia contemplatad invasion which ia
in the hlghett degree improbable she
would now find a valuable ally in the
people , who. three yeais ago , would
have been indifferent , If not actually
hostile. In fact , England's course in
Afghanistan , from beginning to end ,
hasplayed directly into Russia's hands ;
supposing Russia to have any designs
upon India.
