Wasiiinoton, I). C., April 8.?The
Senate will probably take up the South
Dakota bill to-morrow at 2 o'clock, and
will try to dispose of it by Wednesday b
nijrhi." Tin- bill to establish a bureau of fi
animal industry is made a special order \
for Thursday, having been already con- ?
hidon^l exhaustively in Committee of
tin- Whole and referred back to the Com- I'
inittee on Agriculture for the purpose of $
having its various amendments reviewed p
and assimilated before final action. s<
When these two measures are dispose<l tl
of Mr. Sherman's bill authorizing the li
Secretary of the Treasury to invest in $
Government bonds eight per cent of the t'
fund held for the redemption of the
notes of national banks, "failed in liqui- I
dation. or reducing currency," will be t
taken up. These three measures have >
been accorded the right of way by the \
caucus committees. li
The Kreedmen's Hank bill is the un- a
finished business for the morning hour J
and tin* lilair Confederate preference v
hill which awaits the formality of a sec- s
ond reading is in a position to come up >
at any odd moment.
TIIE HOUSE DEADLOCK.
The calendar of the House shows that t
all of the working days of next week
have Wen parcelled out among the committees
on Pacific railroads, Territories,
Foreign Affairs, Public Lamls and Agri- 1
culture for action ui>on measures te- t
ported bv tlujui. Hut the actual disposi- t
tion .?f the time is likely to be very dif- I
ferent, judging from the proceedings of t
the post week. i
The legislative work will open with i
the House constructively in the Legisla- j
hve day of Wednesday, April 14. Mr. j
Taylor's |?rot>osition to go into Commit- ]
tee (if the Whole to debate the direct j
tax hill will probably meet with ap- i
proval, and for a day or two a fictitious
progress will be made. If any regard is i
1UI> I'T (lie sentiments expressed by the l
opponents <>f the tux bill, it will soon be- i
come evident that a conclusion. is as far i
off an on lost Tuesday morning, when i
the hill was tirst calle<{ up, and roll call i
will follow roll call with the rnonotonv <
which characterized last week's proceeding.
A faint hope is felt in some quarters
that the Appropriations Committee will ,
be able to break the deadlock by securing
the consideration of one of the appropriation
bills now on the calendar,
but tli.' Republican memlHsrs profess to 1
be willing to antagonize any such effort,
anil they undoubtedly have it in their
power to do so successfully.
XO PROSPECTS OF A SETTLEMENT.
There has been no change in the sitjation
with respect to the direct tax
bill. No conference looking to a settleaunt
has taken place Mtween the opPoring
parties. The leaders of both
woes have, of course, consulted their
followers in order to ascertain whether
then* has been any accessions to their
pnks or not, but beyond this nothing has
been done. It in probable that a statement
will l>e made in the House to-morrow
to Representative Taylor's proposition
of yesterday. This statement will
Pve the ground on which the minority
justify their course, and will refuse eonJjurnnce
in Mr. Taylor's suggestion.
The minority claim that they are as
trong now as when the filibustering befan.
Everything points to a dead-lock
that will be historic in the future annals

visitors had generally departed, but tin
eminent divines, numerous friends o:
early settlers, remained. Tho day wai
given up to religious services held in th(

music under the direction of Prof. Soroni.
Dr. Storre in a scholarly and
lengthy discourse, analyzed the national
forces that make up the America of 18S8,
Jitiering bo widely from the America ot

SATURDAY AT MARIETTA.
Eloquent Addresnc* at the Opening by
Gov. Fornker, ttenntor llood and Other*.
Marietta, 0., April 7.?The City Hall
wras too small to accommodate the
:hrong that gathered this beautiful
norning to celebrate the one hundredth
mniversary of the landing of Gen. Rufus
Putnam and his band from the Maylower.
A large delegation from other
states and the city of Cincinnati arrived
?arly, and thestreets were soon thronged
ivith a multitude anxious to participate
n the ceremonies of Centennial Day.
Ex-President Hayes and Senator
Hoar entered early, and were greeted
ivith hearty cheers. When Mrs. Hayes
mtered later there was a cordial ovation,
vhich was renewed when Gov. Foraker
ind stalT were announced.
The vererable Do "rlas Putnam called
he meeting to order and introduced
governor Foraker as presiding otlicer (or
he day. After saying that others would
doborate the theme of the century's prop-ess,
the Governor said:
My duty is the simple one of speaking
jut a word of welcome. When the 48
jassengers of that old, modern "Maylower"
landed here 100 years ago there
.vas no one to speak such a word to
hem. They had left the world behind,
rhey found here only the wildsof nature,
i necessity to sacrifice and an opportuni:y
to labor. But how changed. Our
?tate is but one of five great empires
;hat have been created from what was
then known as the territory lying northwest
of the Ohio river.
The Governor spoke at some length
ind concluded as follows:
The spirit that prompted the invitations,
in response to which our visiting
friends are honoring us with their presence,
bids me to say to them now that
they are welcome; earnestly, heartily,
cordially, thrice welcome to our midst,
3ur koines, our hearts and a participation
in this joyous event.
After music the Hon. George F. Hoar,
United Suites Senator from Massachusetts,
was introduced and delivered his
oration.
After a long historical review, the
orator concluded as follows:
Forever honored be Marietta as another
Plymouth. The Ordinance belongs with
the Declaration of Independence and
the Constitution. It is one of the three
titled deeds of American constitutional
lll.nat.i A o 4 tin Amncwitin vnntli (n?
counted centuries shall visit the capital
of his country?strongest, richest, freest,
happiest of the nations of the earth?
from the stormy coast of New England,
from the gulf, from the lakes, from the
prairie and the plain, from the Golden
Gate, from far Alaska?he will admire
the evidences of its grandeur and the
monuments of its historic glory. But il
he knew his country's history, and consider
wisely the sources of her glorv,
there is nothing in all these which will
stir his heart as two fading and timesoiled
papers, whose characters were
traced by the hand of the fathers IOC
years ago. They are the original records
of the acts which devoted this nation
forever to equality,*tt> education, to religion
and to liberty. One is the Declaration
of Independence, the other the
Ordinance of 1787.
After the omtion of Senator Hoar was
delivered, ex-President Hayes was call
ed out and made a brief address, spirited
and eloquent. He was followed by Bernard
Peters, editor of the Brooklyn
Tim*, in a graphic sketch of the German
pioneers. A recess was then taker
for dinner, and at 12:30 a salute of 10(
guns was tired and all the bells of th<
city wore rung in honor of the Maybow
er's landing 100 years ago. The invitee
guests were taken to the armory, when
they were served with a luncheon. Ir
the afternoon several overflow meeting!
were held In the churches, while nt tin
City Hall Hon. J. Randolph Tucker de
livered an omtion. He was followed bj
Hon. E. E. Hale.

his face, apparently began to read.

students arose and yawned and leisurely
putting on their coats and hats, walked
out. They wade noise enough to drown
orchestra, chorus and ull. While the
i second act was in progress the students
, returned as noisily as they went out.
[ When they were seated they began to
' applaud every act systematically and
f loudly. The first chorus sang was en}
cored" three times, and when the com,
pany tried to proceed the students kept
, up mcir noise so long uiai iue Dingers
1 quietly sat clown and waited for the
commotion to subside.
When there was a kissing scene on
i the stage the students arose en masse
and kissed tbeir hands. Eight hundred
' boys blew Bisuuxy kisses to two badly
frightened stage lovers, who trembled
with apprehension at what might take
place. Owin^ to the interruptions the play
lasted till midnight and a very badly
; frightened lot of singers then mode a
dash for their hotel.

A LITTLE LAD LASSOED.
Six Do}-* 1'Inying .Cowboy and Indian
Strangle a Comrade to l>t*ath.
Buiigettstow.v, Pa., April 8.?Six
boys, ranging in age from 10 to 13 years,
who had been reading dime literature,
went into a barn to play "cowboy." They
had two or three nistols and rones, the
latter being used an lassoes. During the
play one of the lads, after boasting of
his ability to throw a rope around the
neck of un Indian and choke him to
death, gave his lasso a sling. It chanced
to fall over the neck of little James Burton,
who started to run.
The boy held on and the rope tightened
around Jimmy's throat. The
others thojght it was great sport and
laughed at the struggles of the little fellow
to get free. This lasted for some
time, finally the mother of one of the
boys appeared upon the scene. She
quickly released the little sufferer, but
too late to save his life. He died within
a few minutes after the removal of the
rope.
Linui Oil No Good.
Oil City, Pa., April 8.?The assignment
of the company operating the Eagle
Refiner}*, at Lima, 0., lias a great deal of
significance in the speculative and
manufacturing oil trade. The Ohio
fields cover a large area of country, and
if the oil was equal to the Pennsylvania
product it would mean a mueli lower
value for petroleum. The oil manufactured
from Ohio crude"has all the appearance
of a splendid burning oil, but
it will not stand the test of time. Many
hundreds of barrels of it have been returned
to the manufactories. The Standard
Oil Company has been a heavy loser
in Ohio oil. It has now 'J,000,000 barrels
in its tanks, for most of which it
paid 45 cents a barrel. The market
price is now 15 cents *a barrel, but iti
reality it has no value except as it is sold
; for fuel purposes.

J. J. Hanahan, Vice Grand Master o
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neers, and Joseph H. Horter, of tb<
.Chicago, Burlington & Quincy system
addressed the meeting and told wha
they had seen and heard on a recen
trip over the Chicago, Burlington
Quincy system from Chicago to Denver
Mr. Horter denounced what he terme<
the wanton destruction of life and prop
erty and damage to business which havi
occurred since the beginning of the "Q'
strike. He lays the blame for this de
slruction and damage upon the manage
ment of the road and declared that the
resulting loss already amouuted to millions
of dollars. Among other things hi
declared that already 157 engines had
been disabled through the incapacity ol
the scab engineers, and it was not true
that the road was now doing 30 per cent
of its usual business. The Chicagc
newspapers suppressed the facts of the
case and only published carefully edited
accounts of the strike. In the town*
along the line of the "Q" the papers
were controlled by the "Q" management,
which exercised a careful censorship
over all strike news. Remarks
were also made by leading members ol
eastern divisions of the Brotherhoods ol
Engineers aud Fireman, of which 25 and
22 were respectively represented. The
meeting unanimously adopted these
resolutions:
Resolved, first, that the action of the
Chicago strikers?acts of violence excepted?are
hereby endorsed and approved,
and that it is the opinion of the
delegates herein assembled that if the
suggestions contained in the resolution
passed in this hall on March 4, had been
t arried out as advised, the strike would
have been settled in less than three
days after sai<^ propositions were declared
to the parties concerned.
Second, that our pledge of financial
and moral support to our striking brothers
of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincj
Railway is hereby renewed and will bt
continued as long'as necessary.

torn has not in the slightest degree impaired
the power and usefulness of the
Brotherhood, and that to-day they art
stronger and better prepared to maintain
their positions than ever before.
Fifth, That the reports that our Grand
Chief would advise the Brotherhood o]
Engineers to disband, that he would
tender his resignation if he failed tc
gaih a victory over the " Q," is herebj
denounced as false and without foundation.
Seventh, That the egotistical, conceited
and mugvvumpian utterances of the
Chief Secretary of the order of Iiailwaj
Conductors regarding the Brotherhood
of Engineers does not express the sentiments
of the majority of railroad conductors
towards our organization; thai
his statement that most of the conduc
tors were competent engineers is weV
known to be absolutely false auc
idiotic.

Xiw York, April 8.?The lleralf
Scran ton (Pa.) dispatch says that as i
result of recent conferences betweei
Mr. I'owderly and representatives of tin

by which future antagonism betweei
these organizations will be averted. Ai

next Thursday, and his betorthal to J
Princess Victoria takes place early in
June.
Prince Bismarck has withdrawn his
resignation solely from the consideration
that Germany, under the domination of
Empress Victoria, would lead to a
speedy break up of German unity. Nothing
since the accession of Emperor
Frederick has so strongly animated the
Russian conservatives against the
empires as tke marriage question. It
now becomes known that the Empress
will impel her helpless husband to that
act regardless of Prince Bismarck, the respect
due to the late Emperor or the national
safety.
the crisis ended.
It is confirmed in ministerial circles
that the crisis terminated on Friday.
The Cologne Gcurtte states that the matter
was settled as Prince Bismarck desired.
The semi-official papers are
either silent on the subject or state that
the crisis continues, the marriage project
not being abandoned. In Liberal circles
Prince Von Hohenlohe is spoken of
as the successor of Prince Bismarck. It
is reported that Emperor Frederick prol>oscs
to address to Prince Bismarck a
rescript marking the main features of
the German foreign policy, especially
advising a reapproochment with Russia
on the Bulgarian question.
Dreadful Account* From I'own.
Berlin. Anril 8.?Dreadful accounts i
have been received from Posen. Two j
hundred and fifty villages are in ruins i
and 15,000 persons without shelter. I
When the docks at Warth gave way a j
large number of lives were lost. The j
loss in live stock is incalculable. Troops j
have been actively engaged in repairing
the damage done. The fund raised by
subscription in'Berlin for the relief of
the sufferers is insignificant in com par- .
ison with the losses. A famine is
threatened in Posen and Salescia, and
the number of persons emigrating to t
America will soon be enormously in- |
creased. <
