LOMDOX , April 19 1 a. m. Lord
Bsacontfield died very c&lmly at 5
o'clock this morning. Three pbytl-
clans were in attendance , beside Lord
JUwton. Lord Beaaonsfiold was per
fectly conscious to the last.
[ Benjamin Disraeli , Earl of Bea-
contfiold , WAS boru in London Do-
cembsr 21 , 1805 , anJ ; was therefore
paat hu seventy sixth y ar. Ho waj
of Jewish descent , his grandfither ,
after whom he was named , having
settled in Eugland in 1745. The
name "Disraeli" was adopted by hia
ancestors , when in the fifteenth cen
tury , they found refuge from the
Spanish Inqohition in the Venetian
republic. Vhst name they bore in
Spain is not known.
His father was an eminent Hlora-
teur , aud the dead earl was first in
tended for the law. He remained in
the study cf it for three years , aftsr
which he traveled on the continent ,
and returning , at the ago of twenty
wrolo "Vivian Grey. " This won for
him immediate distinction. lie then
undertook a trip to the east , and in
six years after his first novel , or in
1831 , appeared "The Young Duke , "
followed next year by "Oontarmi
Fleming. " Then came "Tho Won
drous Talc of Alroy" and "Tha Rise
of lekander" in 1833 ; tovtral political
pamphlets in 1834 , "A Vindication of
the English Constitution" in 1835 ,
"Runoymede" and "Henrietta Tem
ple" in 183G , "Venetia" in 1837 ,
"Count Alarcoa" in 1839 , "Conines )
by" In 1844 , "Sibyl" in 1845 , "Jxion
in Heaven" and "Taucrtd" In 1847 ,
"Lothalr" in 1870 , and " ndymlon"
in 1830. His first novel waa as great
as the last , and the stories are con-
itructed on much the sime principle. ;
This is his lllerary record. The
period between "Tancred" aud "Lo-
thair" 23 voara was the most
is ive portion of his political career.
His political career began at High
\Vycombe , in Buckinghamshire , in
LS32. He appeared aa a radical :
backed by Hume and Bulwer. Daniel
Q'Gonnoll refuted to indorse him. He T
was defeated , as ha wag again in 1833 t
aud 1834 , and twice in ] 835. During tl
this last canvas ) he denounced O'Con-
nellaa "a bloody traitor. " To this
O'Councll afterwards replied that , for
nught he knew , Disraeli might be
"tha true heir-nt-liw of the impom-
For this Disraeli challenged Morgin-
D'Conuoll , but the challenge wa < not
accepted. In a letter to O'Oonnell
Daniel ) h- ) wrote : " \Ve shall meet at
Philippi ; where I will seize the first
opportunity of inflicting castigation
for the insults yon have lavished en
me. "
Finally he waa elected In 1337 to
the first parliament of Queen Vic- !
toria'i reijn His first speech was a
denunciation of O'Connell , but
It was a failure , and he
waa laughed down. Ha closed Bay
ing : " 1 shall ait down now , but the
time will came whan you will hear
me" He kept his word two years
later.
In 1839 he married the widow of
Wyndham Lswis. She brought him
a largo fortune and In his declining a
peerage in 1868 , aho was created Vis
countess Beaconsfield.
Disraeli was the meat powerful orator
tor in England when he became the
leader of the conservative party in
1849. He hts been the leader over
since. In 1852 he became chancellor
of the exchequer ; again In 1858 ; tgsin
in 1806 ; premier in 1868 and ag'i : in
1874. Hii great reform bill , which
extended the suffrage very widely , and
the Berlin conference , were perhaps
hli crowning achievement ; .
Aa a man , ra an orator , ca a party
leader , as & statesman or as an author ,
Le wonld have died renowned in
eithsr ludividuili'y. Ho was born to
bo great and his greatness reached
out and permeated everything he
touchol. Hia death muet necessarily
have a gr-jat effect on the whole
politics ! LcrizDn of Europe , and as to
England , there ! s now but one leader
lift. GUdstma stands absolutely
without a peer in England , and the
cictoivativj pirty without one who
wo Jd dare to Ettcmpt to lead that
p irty against GUdstoao. It is safe to
predict the cosset v tive party will
never n ein hold the reins of govern
ment , and indeed its only hope to re
cover them \vis in the brilliant audac
ity of the dead earl.

WASHINGTON , April 18. Basinets
opened , this morning with the receipt
of a communication from the secretary
of war , answering a senate inquiry
concerning the testing maihinea for
materials in use in the department.
JJr. Hsrris submitted the official
report of R. P. Porter as csnsus stat
istician in correction of his corres
pondence to The North American
Review , in which he clashed Tennes
see among the states that hf d soiled
and repudiated debt" . The senator
had deemed it unnecessary to correct
the statement of that periodical , but
since the eamo has been contradicted
by the senators from Ohio and Vir
ginia , he made the correction now to
Bit Tennessee right before the people.
After several ineffectual dilatory
motions Mr. Djtwea made a speech In
arraignment of the democratic policy
of fillibmtering to defeat the will of
the majority.
This led to a discussion of tae sit
uation on the lest night session , and
the record wai reviewed to show that
Mr. Dawes had himself refused to go
into executive session.
Mr. Dawes disclaimed any parallel s ,
between the cases , since there was no
avoired purpose than by iho minority
to thwart the will of the majority. :
If the democrats relied on that ; pre
cedent for their present action , it was
a weak foundation to stand on.
Tlio discussion was participated in

Senator Brown spoke for a
T [
hour In defense of the claim that the Tk
constitution waa framed , not BO much :
fer the elevation of the majorities , as g' ;
for the protection of the rights of the g'S
minorities.
Mr. Blair replied to Mr. Brown at hiY
length , and In his remarks thanked
God for the dead lock , If it would set
tle , even by the teat of intellectual , Sj
moral and physical endurance , the
question of whether the majority b
should rule or not.
Brown said that the minority were
right in opposing the inefjnrea that
the people of the conntiy condemned.
Burndde said that he did not believe -
lievo that the people condemned the
measure. si
Mr. Brown said that the republican
press condememned it , and he pre
dicted that the number of condemna
tions would increase.
Mr. Burnside denied tha general
condemnation , and stated that ap-
provaU of the course were increasing.
At 3:33 : p. m. Mr. McPherson sug
gested that Mr. Dawes , having run
hia show for a month , and the galler
ies lelng no longer crowded , it would
bo a brother showman's courtesy to
move to adjourn , that thceo who
wished might go to Barnum's show.
Mr. Dawes replied that if the sena
tor from New Jersey thought the cir
cus waa more attractive than hia con
stituents' interests , ha wa * perfectly
at libeity to go to It.
aJTho debate waa renewed after this
nd was participated In by Logan ,
Hampton , Dawe nnd Brown. It
finally drifted toward the question aa
to whether Mahona did not occupy
the room next to the republican cau
cus and hold communication with the
caucus.
Mr. Dawos said that if such was
the case ho ha not known it , bnt the
senator from Virginia had a perfect
right to act a ? he pleased. He spoke
a quarter ol an hour in defense of Mr.
Mahone , and at 4:50 : moved to ad-
jouin.
The motion was carried at once.
CAPITAL NOTES.
Special dUatcio3 ] to Tus Bus.
Persona who originated the state
ment to the effect that tha president
Is opposed to the action of the repub
lican senators , and that he lull inter-
fera to break the deadlock , apoke en
tirely on their own responsibility.
The president haa repeatedly express
ed to republican aenatora hia hearty
approval of what they ara doing. The
pres'denl expresses his opinion freely
and says the position of the republi
can party in tha senate admits of no
change.
The continuance of the deadlock
leaves the Indian bureau in an unfor
tunate condition. There are several
important agencies vacantand a largo
amount of property is in the hands of
persons not under bonds. This arises
out of the fact that an Indian ageut
doea not hold until his successor takes
charge , but his official tenura ceases
with hia term. The acting commis
sioner of Indian affairs himself has
but an appointment of chief clerk
only , Trqwbrldge , who has been a ck
for Boreral months , being still commis
sioner.
Senator Frye says that there has
been no republican ciucus called , nor
had ho heard that there was any In
tention of calling one. Some think the
deadlock will continue until a good
stroke of warm weather interfurea ,
when one aide or * the other will yield
in order to get out offtown.

strikers were joined by the employes
of the 0. & M. department. The J. ,
M. & I. man are still working , but it
ii probable they will also join the
strike. The stoppage of tha work of * 1
loading and transferring freight is
causing railroads great Inconvenience.
Freight comes booming in over the
J. , M. & I. at the rate of 150 to 175
cara per day , and a short line also
brings In a large proportion , while tha
L 4 N. in crcwdad with traffic. If
freight has to stand in cars for days
or weeks without bsing removed ,
something like a blockade will bs the
result. The strikers absolutely refuse
to allow their places lobe filled. The
city is filled with rumorstonight to
the effect that tha street car drivers
and employes in many largo manufac
tories are contemplating a general
strike. Interesting developments are
looked forr
CrNciNNATiAprll 19 1 a. m. The
Consolidated street car company have
not run a oar since laat Friday morn
ing , and thejatables and car ahedj have
been closely watched by tha striken.
Scores of men have offered to workbut
they were intimidated by the strikers
and gave up tha idea or agreed to
hold themselves la readiness when
ever tha company might want them.
Public sympathy has been strongly in
favor of the men and liberal contribu
tions t have been made by the citizens
to aasiat them. The strikers have also j
had promises of asaiatance from other
laborers I if the company attempted to
start cars , and In view of all these
facts the board of directors of the com
pany agreed to-day to compromlao with o
the men by reducing the day's work
to twelve hours , paying them 31.60
each , or increasing their wages 25 d
cents per day , without reducing the B
number of hours. The men had de 6W
manded an increase of 50 cents per W
day , and would not accept either fc
proposition , but agreed to work fcP
twelve hours per day for $1 60. This W
kha comnany refused to grant and tlni ;
jonsequently another meeting of the ni
itrlkera ! was called to consider what niPi
ihonld bo doze. At this meeting the alre
itrikera would not agree to accept the reY
ropo3ition ' of the company , and could rem
lot agree upon what courae was to be m
nrsued. ' A meeting of citizens was R
icld in the mayor'j office. A delega- hi
ion of the strikers was tent fcr in
topes ( that they conld be persuaded to
t least keep the poaca , but the dele
tion would make no definite prom- mi
sea. The prospects are that Cincin th
nati will continue to do without street lie
ara fcr , at least , a couple of dsya yet. ha
