ThoBlnnd silver bill still Impends over the house as n cloud , the pretence of which makes poislblo ntitorm that , muy disturb the prognoMlc.i- tlonsbf thoio who endeavor to form nn accu rate chart of the course of legislative work. Owing to the absence nf Mr. Cutehlnijs of Mississippi nnd the doslro that there shall bo a full representation of members , when the rule making the Bland frco coinage bill and pending amendments n spacl&l order Is taken up , the rules comtntttco will not report mid call up the muoh-tulaod-of special order until Tuesday. The silver light will then bo renewed - nowod nna fought to u finish ono way or the other. Tomorrow will probably bo devoted to measures rolntinir to the District of Colum bia. The remainder of the week not dovotcd to consideration of the silver question , will bo consumed either In ilobato on tbo tariff questions or In consideration of ono or more of the regular appropriation bills , no decision having yet been arrived at as to whether or not the tariff discussion shall bo further in terrupted. . There nro three appropriation bills , namely , the navtl , the consular nnd diplo- niuttc"nnd the sundry civil , ready for action bv the house. Naturally the naval bill would take precedence of the others In considera tion , ns It was llrst reported. 1'bo river and harbor bill has bcon agreed upon by the com mittee and will not bo reported to the house until tbo close bf the vvcck. What They Will Oo In the Seimto , Interest In tbo proceedings of the sonnto this week will turn upon the disposition of the Bering sea arbitration treaty , which Is the unfinished business on the executive calendar , and iti \ expected that the sonnlo will exclude the public from the chamber for many hours. In the course of the legislative business , the Indian appropriation bill will bo further considered , uud there is moro to bo said upon the subject of employing array onicers in tne capacity of Indian agents. The 'Wost Virginia direct tax bill , after several postponements on account of the ill ness of Senator Merrill , has been finally as signed for debate on Tuesday , on which day Senator Stanford will also , according to notice - tico , add i ess the senate on his bill to de termine the value of a lcg.il tender dollar. It Is expected that the District of Columbia appropriation bill will bo taken up after wards , and as this is a me as uro in which the senators feel much interest , owing in part to the fact that many of thorn own homes In this city , the debate upon the provisions of the bill is likely to occupy the senate for Botno time. _ DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR. Iteport of the IIouso Committee ou Foreign Air.ili-H. WA3HISOTON , D. C. , March 27. Mr. Blount , chairman of the house committee on foreign affairs , hus prepared for the house on extensive report to accompany the regu lar annual consular and diplomatic appro priation bill framed by the committee. The report says that a oareful examination has been made Into the subject of our foreign missions , and the importance of our diplo matic relations with the several countries. The facilities for the transmission nnd Inter change of thought dispenses with much of the neoa nf foreign representation. It enables - ablos the homo government to communicate rapidly nnd freely on all questions of differ ence with foreign governments and to glvo directions In tbo most minute detail. So com pletely does this practice obtain that wo shall scarcely find farno Springing for the ac tion of our representatives nt foreign courts In the future as in the earlier davs of the republic. In addition to this , tbo country has grown to such magnitude as to enjoy that regard from other nations wnlch guarantees her against foreign insolence , outrage and causeless war. Very much might bo Kafoly done in reducing the number of our ministers by the abolition or the union of several countries under ono mission. Not to on con rage hope for an ac ceptance of these views by the scnato or the president It has bcon deemed best , except in n few instances , to postpone needed reforms at this point. Denmark , Sweden and Nor way , however , hove been placed under one mission , as have Colombia and Ecuador , and likewise Peru and llollvla. By a mistake of. the printer It was an nounced that Guatemala and Venezuela hud also been joined under ono minister. Sepa rata missions are to bo maintained to these two countries , and the salary is fixed at 15,000 each. The reports say that the com- tnlttno gave careful attention to tbo con sular service and revised it according to tbo business and Importance of the United States to each place. SH.VUOWKO I Y DETiCTIViS. United H til ten Senator * llclnj ; Watched to Discover Olllcml I.eukx. WAaiiiNGTON , D. C. , March 27. [ Special Telegram to Tun Beu. ] Some very sensa tional features have cropped out of the sen ate's executive sessions on Thursday and Friday. Vigorous efforts were made by a few to strike at certain senators who were supposed to bavo given "pointers" to their newspaper frlonds respecting executive pro ceedings , and in doing so they cast very seri ous reflections upon mnocont employes , Ono or two senators wont so far as to name James B. Youngtbo oxccutivc clerk , ns being guilty of regularly giving out information for publication. tilr. Young la ono of the proprietors of the Philadelphia Star , a brother or John Hupscll Young , well known diplomat and biographer of ( jencral Grant , and stands high In his profession , Ho has been in charge of the executive proceedings of the senate for IIf- tocn or twenty years , and although ho Is a frequenter of newspaper row and has many intimate frlonds among the correspondents who write most of the executive work of tbo scnuto , it U n well known fact that ho has never bean suspected by those who do tbo writing of giving oven aa Intimation of what Is done behind the closed doors. But there Is a demand upon the part of the senatorial Intlmidutors that sotnonno shall bo made a scapegoat , sacrificed to fct an example to the senators who glvo out the secrets , and thus frighten the real guilty parties. Air. Voune Slay Ketlcn. The attack upon Mr , Young was so bitter nnd cruel on Friday that it. ID probublo ho will voluntarily resign , although expulsion was threatened. Ho caunol wfall remain in his position and cither fuel comfortable or maintain his self respect. Should he resign his example may DO followed by his assis tant , Coloucl Morrow ot Missouri , and nossi- cly tbo von rablc Captain Bassott , assistant tloor-kccpcr , who tin * been excluded from executive Bcssions for the iirst time in u third of acontuiy. In connection with the reign of terror which Is prevailing about the ecnata for tbo purpose of closing lips agaim > t executive leaks , a very sensational report Is in circulation tonight. It in to the effect that detectives bavo been employed during the past week to shadow senators suspected of "leaking , " ana that they liava'followed the suspects over the city to note whether they bavo conversed with newspaper representatives , and whether newspaper men visit them at their rooms. Thus it Is that all who speak to representa tive * of tholr local press ate placed under a bau ol suspicion. It is not stated whether thcte detectives are employed by the secre tary or sorgoant-at-nrms of the senate , or individual - dividual senators who are determined to lo- c.ito the responsibility of the Ionic. It was reported last night that some of the detec tives employed by the Treasury department were detailed to do this work , but the law prohibits the employment of department agents or detectives for private purposes , , It May PriMoIco Trouble. If It should prove true thht dotoctwos have been placed upon the trail of nnv senator It Is almost sure to lead to serious trouble In the senate , as it Is not probable that nny senator would suffer such an aspersion upon his privuto Integrity. It 1 learned from the usual channels through which executive cocrois Ionic out that om ? very vlcorous speeches wcro made onlhundav end Friday against the present system of secret f csslons by Sanders of Montana , Pottlgrcw of bouth IJakot.t nnd other senators. A very strong feeling has oxlitcd for several years against the present procccdure ? , nnd it Is proposed that all matters which have heretofore been discussed in sscrot session shall bo consid ered in open session unless Iho committee reporting porting Ihom requests their llnnl considera tion to bn In secret. Senator Sanders denounced the proposition that executive sessions leaked out through employes In very vigorous languago. Ho said It wai simply slily , cruelly absurd , as every frank nnd fair senator would acknowl edge that the secrets came out through em ploye * . ' 1 hare was not a man .in the senate , ho suld , who would refuse to accommodate a personal frlond in newspaper row If it was to ills own advantage lo do so. It was ridicu lous , ho said , a sorry spcctaclo Indeed , to send the sergcant-at-nrms about the closed gallery to Hud nu audlphono or other Instru ment sot to catch executive proceedings. Should Ho HoncBt ultli Itself. rue scnato. ho ; ald , should no honest with itself and acknowledge that Its own member ship did the leaking. Ho made the heads of the senators conducting the farce hang with shame. Senator Pottlgrew said that Just so long ns the senate closed Its door to the world , fired out its trusted and sworn cmplojes nnd shut the mouths of the senators for the purpose of considering the nomination ot two or three llttlo Pennsylvania postmasters , aIt did the other day , and was in the habit of doing , It could not expect any stress to bo put upon the real secrets of the senate. The action in the .insignificant things degraded the im portant thing * . It wus cownrdly and puerile to rofuio tj consider ordinarv nominations , against which there was no objection In open session. If the senate would glvo Important ques tions proper Impress of secrecy It would close tbo doors onlv when important subjects were to be considered. Just so long as the llttlo things were placed with the big things the latter would occupy the snmo position in the minds of senators that the former did. Some very strong feelmc has been urousod by the proceedings of the last two secret sessions of the snnato and It is likely that something quite spirited will take place be fore tbo end comes. . Marii-loiiY ArtUtfl. WASIIIXOTOX , D. C. , March 27. On of the most interesting partions of the Agricultural department's exhibit of the World's fair will bo tlio models of the plans Illustrating the at tacks of the various insects and diseases which destroy them. To make these models , which have to bo absolutely true to raturo , two English artists of murveloas ability have been engaged. Tbo Hare ? . brother and slstar , who jn'this work far excel nny others , have takqn models for their work at the world's fair bold In London In 1831 , und ut frequent Intervals since. Tbo models of fruits uro made of wax , aud such remarkable skill has boon exercised in the manufacture that it Is only by the closest scrutiny that they are to bo told from the real article. Ono specimen , a piece of apple , containing a gmb which liar eaten his way Into its center , is so perfect that when compared with the origi nal not the slightest difference can bo de tected. Even when held lo the light it is translucent In Iho same spots as In the real applo. Marvelous skill is shown in making the model leaves in the most perfect manner.

WASHINGTON BUIIEUJ or Ttiu Bun , 61.1 FOUUTKBXTU STHKBT , WASHINGTON- . O. , March V7. ! Senator Hill's utter Inability , on his recent trip through the south , to find miy flaw In President Harrison's administration , and his Indirect hut very positive eulogy upon the wonders our present tariff law has worked In the Virginias and portions ot Georgia and Tennessee , has been the subject of much comment hero among southern men from nil political parties. It was firmly expected that Senator Hill , frco trader that ho Is , would Jump upon the spirit and tbo opsra- tion of tbo tariff law adopted by the last re publican congress. It Is stated that ho wont south with a view of doing this thing ; but when ho got down In Virginia and delega tions , or redemption committees , began to board his private car , ho found such a course would never do. Ha was advised lo let the tariff soverelv alone , bain ? told frankly that It had done moro lor that country than any law wo ever bad. Instead of pouncing upon the tariff law it will bo seen thai Senator Hill talked of the many now Industries springing up on every hand and the apparent evidences ot proi- perlty. Ho spoke not n word against the tariff law except In general terms , and then verv sparingly , very gingerly. Ho did not , in fact , do anything but talk of the upbuild ing south , Its power for the fulure , and general - oral democratic pilnclplos. Quito all of his attacks were loft out. lie found the condi tions very different from what ho expected , and has prlvatclv said so to his frlonds. It Is said by ono of the senator's friends that ho is not now so anxious for the nomination and will likely abandon his efforts to get it , .Muy Conrt-Murtliil General Grceloy. It Is staled at tbo War department that a court-martial will likely bo convened to try General A. W. Grooloy , chief signal oflleor , for a breach of the general order which pro vides that no ofllcor , active or retired , shall directly or indirectly without being called upon bv proper authority , solicit , suggest or recommend action by members of congress for or against legislation pertaining to mill- tar v affairs. General Groeloy is charged with having addressed the secretary of war ana members of the house committee on ap propriations in opposition to placing the new military bureau of information under the jurisdiction and control of the adjutant gen eral's ofllce. GoneralXJrceloy Is said to bavo advised withholding the necessary appropri ation for the maintenance of the now bureau until Iho right ot the chief signal ofilccr to its control could bo dohnitcly determined. Adjutant General KellOn hus brought General - oral Greelcy's alleged broach of discipline to the attention of Iho department In u loiter which comments severely upon the violation of general orders. No Lobbies In I'uturo. W. P. Clough of St. Paul , chief counsel of the Greui Northern railroad and confidential man of James J. Hill , twenty times a mil lionaire , is hero and savs tbo Groat..Northern has practically decided to abandon tbo lobbies of congress nnd the stale legislatures and In the future to lake no part in political matters whatever. In the nast the great railroads ot the northwest , ho says , have practically controlled tbo politics of Dakota , Minnesota and Nebraska. It has ueen fro- quonlly charged that ox-Senator Gil PiPrco was defeated for re-election by the Northern Pacific because he refused to concur lu tha appointment of a certain United Slater judge. ThHdefeat Is said to have cost the Northern Pacific $10,000. If this Is iruo Mr. Clouch is probably jifslilled in saying that no railroad is'justltlod In maintaining lobbies , for , ns ho says , "It is moro expense than prolit. " The Northern Pacific , it is said , is already campIng - Ing on the trail of Senator Casey of Norlh Dakota. "Tho Great Northern , " says Mr. Clougb , "will in iho fulure exert ibo same interest in legislation that nny other largo property holder would do , but will abandon lobbying nud other political intcrferonco as too expensive a luxury. " To lrencr\o Timber Lands. Senator Paddock's joint sub-committco from Iho senate committee on agriculture and forestry and public lands which is mak ing inquiry for the purpose of agreeing upon a measure which will preserve tbo forests and the governments timber lands , nnd pro mote Irilgution by natural processes , has found a way to tho'destrcd ends. At a meet ing of Iho sub-commllleo yoslordav appeared Mr. Furnow.chief of the bureau of foreslry in Ihc agricultural department , Mr. Browar , sccrelary of the l < oreslry association and Mr. Ogdcn of the forestry division of timber in Iho Interior department. Mr , Furnow presented Iwo bills which had been drafled by himself and Mr. Brewer covering Iho points under consideration and which will probably bn unanimously adopted. It is "for tbo protection and preservation of tbo public forests of the United Stales , " and provides lhat all lands heretofore proclaimed by the president under the net of March it , IbOl , as forest rcscrvoiions , or muy horeafler bo set asldo ns such , shall bo exclusively con trolled by the provisions of this act for pro toctlon nnd Improvement ; that there shall bo established in tbo Interior depart ment a commissioner of forestry w > < o shall bo versed In matters of for estry and appointed by the president.

Pulaclo's attempt to r.italn his dic tatorship , for such his ofllco has now ba- come , or falling In that to have a figurehead elected to succeed htm as president , hai ar- rnlcncil the highest court of the land agai nst him. Its adverse decision in regard to his right to continue as chief magistrate , when the constitution clearly declares ho Is not en titled to his ofllco , has brought the executive aud legal powers Into direct conflict. The result Is that scenes of despotism , tyrrauny and terrorism have bcnn witnessed within the past" twenty-four hours In this city , recalling the very worst parlods In the his tory of Venezuela. Palacio's claim that ho is president is pronounced an outrage by the supreme federal court , und It adds that ho holds Iho ofllco Illegally. . Tbo supreme fed eral court consists of as many members as there arc states. llo\v They Arc Selected. Tbo representatives of each state furnish a list of principal members and substitutes , uud from each state's list-congress cboosiis a member [ and a substitute. The pronuncia- mcnto of the court throw Palacio Into n great rage. Instantly ho sumtnonod Iho police authorities. " 1 want these judges , every ouo ot them , " ho said , "locked up. " It was a boldauduclous stop , the overawelng and imprisonment of the Judiciary by ono it had declared a usurp cr , but matters bad reached such n state that all right and law wcro sot aside. There was no disobeying the stern command of tbo wrathy ruler. The pollco sought out the judges , nnd in- &ldo of twenty-four hours every ono of them was behind prison bars. Accounts of this high bunded action spread rapidly through all parts of the city , and thence were carried Into the country , causing intense indignation everywhere. It served us a ral lying cry to the opponents of the Pnlaclo und the dictatorial spirit which ho repre sents. Conservative men who hod hesitated to range themselves again&t the government , oyen though they believed that it was trans- 'presslng tno laws of the land , now piuo up all hope of a peaceful udjustmont of affairs tind'jomcd the rebels. The warmest sup porters of tbo president wcro frightened at , the way things were going , and rauny de serted to the other side' In tha ueliof that Pnluclo's rule was destined to bo of short duration. Itevolntlon AVltlegpreml. All reports confirm the general belief that revolution has become so widespread that there will bo great loss of lifo before Palucio conquers. bis enemies or they succeed in killing ' ing or Imprisoning 'him or driving him into exile , as , hus happened to other presidents of this rbpuUic. General Cnspo , who is at the head of the Insurgents , is a goad lighter. Ho bas been in many a hard fonirht battle before , anil has at his back u largo number or tbo best trained and bravest boloicrs In Vdnczu- Vla and more than once ho has led thorn to vic tory. He Is a bltt'-r enemy of Palacio and fond nf powor. Ho has had bis eye on the presidency for some time and looks upon Palucio us a man who is keeping him out of tbo high oflico ho covets. Dr. Hogns Paul has not yet appeared on the sconetbut ho is credited with having considerable to do with tbo revolt or revolts. His friends are numerou" . He and they have been long awaiting a good opportunity to even matters up with Pulacip | for It was ho who banished Paul without any cause save that he was jealous of ono of the best presi dents Venezuela has had In many years. Crispo Is engaged In a campaign of strategy and it Is pot his intention to Invade the stronghold of the government. Ho Will Tnko IMcnty of Time. ' The time has not arrived for that. Ho Is willing to await the spread of discontent throughout Caracas. Ho Is In constant com munication with secret friends in the capi tal. They keep him posted as to anything that Is going on hero. They have advised him that Palucio is rushing hoadlonc to de struction ; that his tyranny is alienating some of his strongest adherents , and that if bo persists In his proient course ho will have not only enemies In front of t lie city , but In Caracas Itself numbers of them will desert to the foe as soon us tbo right time arrives. In the mcanwhllu Crlspcs' plan Is to turn the government troops Into the prairies. There the lancers , under the insurgent gen eral , could bo at homo nnd light to the best advantage while the [ resident's army would bo handicapped , Caracas is in a virtual state of slogo. Lifo and liberty are unsafe. People do not ven ture out of doors after nightfall. Arrests are being made on all sorts of pretexts , and the prisons will soon bo unable to accommodate date- those who are committed to them. Liberty of tlio I'rcHi Suppressed , Of courao liberty of tbo press Is out of the quostlon. No ono durci to express an honest opinion in tbo papers without being locked up. All telegrams aud dispatches are care fully scanned and tbo least thing suspicious in any of them subjects tbo writer to arrest. Many prominent men are imprisoned , among them a lar o proportion of the senators and deputies from the eight states. The United Btates war vessel Newark ar rived at La Guayra today. She arrived there from Darbadoes , 1 am disposed to un demand , us a result of my dispatch to the Herald on March IS relating to the 11 rat en counter between Potaclo's trooi > s and the in surgent force. She will remain by order of Admlral.Uborurdi ut La Uyaura until all the trouble is over so us to protect the interests of Americans in Venezuela. It Is impossible to exaggerate the excite ment now existing in Caracas. At any mo ment the strectx may bo fillo-l with armed citizens "driven to desperation by the iron rule under which rich and poor , high and low , statesman and the humblest rcHldeat now tremble. Tburo is a limit to human en durance and it Is questionable if u baa not well nigh boon reached by Palacio's terror stricuon subjects.

" How tlio I.lneineii I.itlmrcil Yenlerdiiy ti | ishilIi li iicctrlrit : : Communication. The comparatively fair weather of yester day was a great aid to thoscoresof telegraph linemen engaged in repairing the damage done by the storm to the hundreds of wires In the city. About twouty-llvo expert West ern Union line repairers arrived on an early morning train to assist the local force In trotting the wires in shape as rapidly as posj siblo. At the Western Union telegraph ofllce last night about half the wire's were working and business was not allowed to pllo up. There Is still considerable trouolo on thesa WHCS nro-ind Omaha in tno snort circuits , as the attention or the ropulw was given spe cially to the more Important eastern lind western wires. The Postnl people did considerable work ycstoiday ntid ut ID o'clock last night had their Chicaso wires working nicely and woio a bio to handle .bnslnnss without tiny unusual delay. It Is expected by the ofllclals of thU company to have all tbolr fallen lino. } permanently "strung today and by Tuesday they hope to bo in good working ordor. Wont on the American District Telegraph wires was pushed rapidly yesterday and last niirht tholr instruments \\oro working all right.

When the motor current was turn'od on nt 9-.U3 o'clock yesterday morning ono of tbo tire and pollco alarm wires was laying across the trolley wire somewhere in the city. lu nn Instant every instrument in the police alarm oflico was in a blaze. Flames a foot or so in height Mushed from the instruments , and for u mo ment consternation relpnod. Operator John Hathaway was on duty at the tlir.o , and , with rare presence of mind , grabbed u pocket knife which lay open on bin desk and slashed away ut tbo wires where they wcro fastened against the wall. Ho soon had every circuit cut , but not before consid erable damage had oeeu done. The magnet in the flro alurm gong was burned and the mechanism entirely destroyed. The tire registers , which cost il'ij nuieco , were bluz- ing as the last wire was cut , but tbo damage to these instrument : ) will not amount to much. In consequence of the wires being cut not a iolico patrol box in the city could bo used nil day , and the onicers wcro com pelled to report by telephone , Cle.irlng the .MotorViren. . The interrupted motor service was re sumed at U : 15"o'clock yesterday morning. During the earlier morning hours gangs of linemen bad been busv jutting fallen telephone - phone and telegraph xvhvs , BO as to clear the motor wires in the qutckoit manner possible. No further attempts were made to raise the wires or repair the damngo done by the Ktortn until the wreckage bad been cleared away from blociced streets and from the supporting lines of the street railway company's ' trolley wires. Tha latter company had no trouble in operating its lines after thn coast wits cleared nnd the current was turned on. The Furnum street line was shut down for un hour during the ufiernoon , ns some of the telephone wlros again fell from tholr Inse cure supports and cnmo in contact with Iho motor cross wires.
