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. > EJLUNQ TIME.

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 Monday. A Murder in Brownsville , Mo. ST. Louis , Mo. , April 29 1 a. m.

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.
