Among the bills passed was ‘", iVoustr bill for additional aids to navi , n through the channels leading to jvusacr.la. Fia. At 12:30 o’clock consid eration of the calendar closed. Xb Senate then took up the river and }arbor Lull and Mr. McMillan, who has c|]ar2e n t it, moved an order that the bill I o recommitted to the Committee on Com merce with instructions to amend it, as voted by the Senate in committee ot the •whole, except that in each item of the HI and in the aggregate there be a reduc tion of SO per cent; that the committee amen( j the bill accordingly, and not other ,< ami report the same complete forth- l’ugb and Call argued that a _ o , e ou the amendments should first be taken in the Senate as there were some W uis disproportionately increased and s011l! . disproportionately reduced, and the tooatc should have an opportunity of passing on them before the order pro tmsed was made. * Mr. Logan declared himself opposed to Ibis means ot cutting down the bill by a t,.T<z<>i)tal slice. He supposed the idea came from the plan of cutting down the tintl as proposed by an Illinois man in ta ■ House, if toe order were to be adopt wished that the appropriation for the Illinois canal would first be increased. Mlt. VVIST’S OPPOSITION. Mr. Vest, a member of the Committee onVo'mmeree.opposed tfie order, although lie anticipated, ho said, that it would pre vail. After a digression upon the-jetty svs tt-i i at the uieiitfi ot the Mississippi, Mr. Harris, bringing back tbe discussion to th matter immediately before the Senate, b iggested that if the river and harbor lull wen: recommitted in its present state it would be reported back, have to lake its place on tue calendar and go through precisely the same action as if it bail not been already considered. The chair said he would not now decide that question. Mr. Henna said he had no doubt that t:ie senator lor Tennessee (Mr. Harris) was rmbi in the position he took. lie trusted that the motion would be with held until ii'.fertba Senate had voted on the various amendments on the bill. MR. BUTLER'S SUBSTITUTE. Mr. butler inquired of Mr. McMillan why he had made the motion. Toe Sen- Rie bud spent two weeks on this bill, and nvon Hi. eve of final action this proposi tion was made, it, seemed to him that it was absolutely child’s play. If the idea of it was ari apprehension that, the Presi dent was going to veto the bill it would Iw vetoed just as weli with "0 per cent. Ml’as it would be in its present state. He would offer us a substitute for tbe pro p'Srd instructions a proposition appro • i*img >lo.

M:, McMilian said that the original so large and the Senate bad In creased it so largely that the Committee on Commerce was of the opinion that the amount should he reduced The motion fa oil he had submitted had been made i ter consultation with Senators laminar wnb tbe rules. 'i'idmunds said the bill as it came i o fi e House was largerin amount, and m io d.yi :sided in its objects than any river and harbor bill that ever came from Ihe House before. LOCALIZING AN INJURY.

Mr. Call made an appeal for a larger sum. The amendment was rejected by a vote of 19 to 28, and the ap propriation stands at $150,000. The next important amendment upon which a yea and nay vote was taken was the one reducing the appropriation tor improving the Tennessee river at Mussel shoals from $:;50,000 to $250,000. Tbe amendment was rejected by a vote of 10 to 33, and tha appropriation remains at $350,000. Mr. Edmunds made an argument against the amendment which proposes to appropriate $300,000 for the purchase of tbe Portage Lake canal and Lake Superior Iron Company’s canal. liis argument was replied to by Messrs. Conger and Palmer. Mr. Saulsbury argued against the pur chase ot artificial works belonging to in dividuals or Slates. The amendment was agreed to by a vote of 35 yeas to 21 nays. EDMUNDS’ POSITION. When the amendment in relation to Calumet river was reached Mr. Edmunds said it was evident that the majority of the Senate was determined to adopt five or six different measures looking to transferring to the United States works which the government had already paid for in public lands. lie was bound to suppose that each of them would go through if it were alone, but he was also bound to believe that each one would go much faster and better when supported by the comfortable backing of all the others. It was useless, therefore, for a Senator who did not wish to delay or im pede tho action ot tbe Senate to take up time in resisting that which could not be resisted, and so it be was silent ail the rest of the time he did not want the Sen ate or people of his State to suppose that these other provisions of the bill were suitable and proper. The amendment was agreed to. THE HENNEPIN CANAL, The amendment accepting the grant of the Illinois and Michigan caual, and for the construction of tbe Hennepin canal, having been reached, Mr. Edmunds de manded the yeas and nays, wmch were ordered. Tbe amendment was adopted by a vote ot 27 yeas to 20 nays. The vote in detail was: Yeas—Messrs. Allison, Blair, Brown, Call, Conger, Cutlom, Dawes.

Thompson, the cashier, haa absoonded. The liabilities exceed the assets by $40,- 000. Thompson is a graduate of Harvard College, and since he has held his respon sible position in this city bus been re garded as a man of sterling integrity. lie is President of the Harvard Club of this city and a member of tbe Light Cavalry, and a prominent Knight Templar. He announced his intention in the latter part of last week of accompanying the Light Cavalry to tbe State encampment, and it was generally supposed he was there. Advices from that point., however, state that no has never been near the camp, and it is sup posed that he has joined the artny of de faulters in Canada. No other cause for his defalcation can lie assigned other than last living, for he has never been known to speculate. The directors of tbe bank have filed a petition ior a receiver. The President of the bank, J. 8. Gar land, has been absent from the city lor about six months, and the cashier has as sumed the President’s duties as well as his own. The hank’s statement of yester day shows assets of sl,l<i, r i.t!oo and liabili ties s9Sfi,(loo. The directors of the hank state that they will not. tie able to realize on apparent assets to their full extent by a large sum. W. H. Thompson, ot the Commercial bank, has been appointed receiver. Large crowds ot de positors congregated around the bank anxious to know the nature of tbe embarrassment. The excitement increased until it oeeame necessary to call the police. The largest number of depositors are clerks and poor men and women. W. H. Thompson, tbe receiver, says that the bank his been carefully managed, and tew if any bad loans exist, audit Is bis opinion that the depositors will be paid in full. DR KITKRA’B FI.IGIIT.

SLAIN BY AN ORANGEMAN TRAGIC DEATH OF A CONSTA BLE AND A SOLOIEK. A Hortons State of Affairs at Waterford —Several Buildings Wrecked by IMot •rs at HelfiiHl—The Successful Tories Already 300 lu Number—The “Classes Acninet the Masses’’ Passage Hfuted. Dublin, July 14.—During tho rioting at Belfast last night between Catholics and Protestants, four taverns ami a num ber oi dwelling houses were wrecked. The police and soldiers charged tho rioters several times and at last succeeded In clearing the main streets. In the byways, however, dangerous knots of men are lurking, and fears of a renewal of tho dis turbances are entertained. Among the wouuded last night was a sergeant. It is thought that he cannot recover. A con stable and many civilians received severe wounds. This morning tho head constable of Waterford forced a private soldier to at tempt to arrest two Orangemen, father and son. The latter shot and killed both the constable and soldier. The situation at Waterford is serious. The streets ore patrolled by police and cavalry. A Nationalist meeting at Stewarts town this morning was attacked by a mob. Serious lighting ensued, and the riot act was read. Several policemen were injured in the country. MR. PARNELL'S DENIALS. London, July 14.—Tho Times, com menting on Air. Parnell’s denial of Lord Hartington’s assertion that the Nation alists are in league with the Fenians, says: “Mr. Parnell’s denials are mere waste of breath. It seems necessary to remind him that while the Marqufs of llartington is a (nan of unblemisned honor aud veracity, Mr. Parnell quite recently was convicted of having delibe rately and repeatedly affirmed that which he knows to be faise.” The Standard says: “Mr. Parnell car ries his protestation of innocence to ab surd lengths. The question he ought to have faced is whether or not he has availed himself of the services or moneys ot extremists. To accept money from Fenians aud then to disown them Is not a course of conduct which commends itself to Englishmen.” The result of the elections is restoring commercial confidence in Lublin. The markets are buoyant. The banks of Ire land and Irish railway shares are advano log. The totals of members elected thus far are: Conservatives 306, Unionists 75, Liberals 170, Parnellites 80. The total votes polled up to the present time are: Unionists 1,399,623, GladstonianH 1,320,648. MASSES AND CLASHES. The Duke of Westminster has replied to Mr. Gladstone’s attack upon him for giving the use of bis carriages on election day to carry voters to the polls in Chester in the interest of 11. A. Yerburgb, Tory, against B. W. Foster, M. D., the Glad stonian candidate lor re-election. Air. Gladstone, in his letter to Afr. Foster, characterized the Duke’s conduct as an act of “the classes against the masses.” The Duke says: “M v action at Chester was simply an expression of my former opinions, and consisted simply of the loan of some carriages. Mr. Foster did not scruple to ask for a loan of them at the last election when he was the Liberal candidate. The mass of tho work ing classes have rejected your policy. I cannot see, therefore, how mv action can he described as a blow at either the aris tocracy or working classes.” Eight thousand Orangemen of Sydney, N. S. W., have cabled to England a set of resolutions denouncing the proposal to grant home rule to Ireland. GIVEN IN TIIKIR ADHERENCE. The Duko of Argyle and Mr. Goschen have given their adherence to Salisbury’s programme, and are willing to enter bis Cabinet provided the moderate Liberals secure a fair share of the offices.

Y., July 14.—Mrs. Caro line Benedict, a well-known woman, who for many years bad resided in the little village of Motlville, in the town of Ska. neuteles, died recently after a fast extend, ing (iltv-tbree days. She was the young, cat daughter of Ralph Hail, a wealthy farmer ot Hkaneateies. A sister, Mrs, Sarah K. Judson, was one of the first mis sionaries to Burmah. The Rev. George Bondman, the noted Philadelphia divine, is a nephew, and the Rev. Kid ward John son, of New York, is also ber nephew. On May 15 Mrs. Benedict was suddenly* taken with a distaur lor food. She slowly; wasted away until her form was a skin-covered skeleton. Last Wednes day she died, surrounded by herfamilv, without having tasted a morsel of lood fo the time slated. Drs. A. Mercer and N. C. Benedict, of this city, and l)r. J. W. Brown, of Moutville, vouch for this fact. They say that it is one of the queerest eases in medicine. Until the morning ot the last day of her fast she was perfectly conscious, but was in a sort of apathetio state, induced by a lack of blood In the brain. Her pulse averaged about 80 beats to the miuule, and the normal rate for a woman ofter ago would be Irorn 65 to 75. Her respiration, which if normal would have been from 16 to 18 a minute, was fairly steady at 20. Occasionally sbo would have sinking spells, when her pulse would drop as low as 50, undone time it became almost imperceptible for five con. secutive hours. On other occasions, as she became very weak, the pulse would flutter and suddenly run up as high as 120. Another strange feature of the case was that during the whole period ber tem perature was normal, and her hands were warm until the last. Her husband, Har mon B. Benedict, for thirty years has been a Justice of the Peace, and he says that during her fifty-three day fast noth, lug but water was given her. Outrages ly Anti-Prohibitionists.
