EANSAS. Special Dispateh t» The Chicago Tribune, TozriA, Kan., Jan, 22.—The contest has not yet been disturbed by the exposures of corrup- tion or the publication of demaging afidavits reflecting on the character of aspirants. It pro- gresses with much interest, but no great excite- ment. C. W. Babeock is horo, and supposed to be the Administration candidate for Senator. Gov. Osporn and Col. Phillips are both gaining strongth as regular Republican candidates, whilo the other aspirants prominently mention- ed heretofore are losing ground. In the event of a race between Phillips and Osboru, the latter would get s majonty of the Senate. 'The com- plexion of the House cannot bo determined now. ‘the Reformers, headed by York, are in secret caucus to-night, but it is given out thet they will not ballot for Senator befors 3Monday even- ing. A credited spokesman of the Congreseional delegation says they are not openly attempting o cxert influence in the canvass. They are awaiting developments. Col. York claims that forty-four members at- tended the Roform caucus this evening. He confidently esserts that the caucus will nome the Senator, Leing led to the assertion by the readi- ness of mewmbens to yield peisonal preference and subdue local prejudices. Col. Phillips telegraphs that he will not visit Topekn during the coatest. Chere is AN UNDEBCURRENT OF EXCITEMENT to-niglt conoerniug startling exposures from Scofield regarding Ingalls. The publication of the scandal will occur next Sundsy. I suspect that the whole thing bas been concerted by men whose political fortunes declined when Pomoroy fell. ——— OHIO.

THE UNEMPLOYED. The Wyoming Coal-Miners Abandon Their Proposed Strike. Work to Be Resumed in the Schuyl- kiil Region on Monday. Workingmen's Assemblazes Dispersed in New York City. THE WYOMING DISTRICT. Spec:al Disvateh to The Chicago Tridune. WILKESDARRE, Pa., Jan. 22.—A secret confer- ence of representatives from every district of the norttiorn cosl fields was held hore Jast night. The mooted question of a strike formed the sub- ject of deliberation, and it was_thoroughly die- cussed for over three honrs. It was rasolved that it would be disastrous to the miners to oppose the combination at this time, as ORGANIZATION HAS NOT BEEN EFFECTED sufficiently strong to rresent asolid and com- pact opposition. Other foraible arguments were advanced to back up the rzsolution, among them being that a general stand-out could not at this time be extended to sny definito lengtn, from ' the conclusivo reason that the colliers have not enough fauds to support themaelves and fami- lies should war be declared; but, agam, it was resolved to procecd rapidly on the work of or- ganization, and, to attain this great point, Lodges of the Natiooal Miners' Union were to bo constituted at all the points in the region. 1t was declured IMPOLITIC TO FORCE THE DEMAND for & 10 per cent advance over the basis of last year, or a return to the old besis of 1869. The Conferemce was -com- posed of authorized representatives from cach of the five districts in .Luzerne. and slthongh some bitter opposition was manifested et the boginning against suy surrender, yet the meeting adjourned harmoniously and with good feclicg, Your correspondent was informed to-day by one of tho Representatives that the object will bo to accumulate money in the tressury of the Union, and when the hour arrives whea it is thought enough is on hand, A GENEBAL STRIKE WILL BE ORDERED, and the time wheu this order shall be given shall be when the oporating companics are in the midst of a heavy trade and in no position to ontertain the idea of suspension. The men will then dictato ~ their own terms. This hour may not arrive before next fall, when the demand for winter consumption will be strong and eager, or_even before tho commerce of the spring of 1875. The action of the Conferenca is a PRACTICAL ABANDONMENT now of all opposition to the combination, snd definitely seitles the question of a stuke. It 2ls0 puts & now phase upon the situation, and dispols the great anxiety snd unessiness which has been bred throughout the whole of the country. THE VICTOBY OF THE COMBINATION over the mea is complete, and taos can suspend production until March if it bo their will, and then, when the miners have been driven_to tbe verge of destitution and aro totally subjected, they can be forced to sign the contract st a re- duced basis, in order to koep them from starva- tion., These are scme of the means which coal compaaies take to carry their points. WiLcEspARRe, DPa., Jov. 22.—Botween S00 and 400 men of the Pittston and Elmira Coal Company quit work yerterday on account of the non-payment of wages, due siuce October last. Accounts of meetings to be held among the miners for organization in sl sections, are re- ceived here, aud but a fow days will elapse until the whole ragion will ke more thoroughly or- ganized than for years before. el THE SCEUYLEKILL REGION. Special Drspatch to The Chicago Tribune. PorrsviLiz, Pa., Jan. 22.—As expected in these dispsiches, the atrike in this region is, wo believe, about to end. Yesterday evening, the individual operators met here, and passed a resolution to pay tho basis of 1873, which action was at once transmitted by telegiaph to Presi- dent Gowen, of the Philadelphia & Reading Ceal Comrany, the big corporation here, who was then in New York conletring with the other greet coal companies thets, who at once tele- rraphed to his Superintendeut here to call a meotiag of all operators for to-morrow afternaon at 2 o'clock. The meeting is called for that hour, aud Mr. Gowen will be bere to take part. In a_coovesstion with Mr. Gowen's Super- iatendent this evening, the declaration was made toat ALL TILL BE SETTLED TO-NORDOW, and the men resume work on Mondsy. ‘At the meeting of Lhe companies yesterday in New York, it was decided to continue bueiuess during 1874 a3 in 1878,advancing tho price of coal 10 cents per ton per month after March, which well be opeued with prices the same a8 the same month last year. TUL OTULR DISTRICTS about here sra all getting tranquil, and expect to resume work in a sbort time. Mauy promi- nent coalmen will be pregent to-morrow to par- ticipate in the meeting to settle the “ lock-out.” [To the Associated Press.] Prrrsoune, Pa..- Jan. 22.—The prevailing opinion in the city to-night among vusiness men is that the miners' strike 18 about over, and that the miners will either accept the $2.25 basis or rignify their willingness to compromise. Itis predicted that there will be a resumption of work next week. The men in the Wilkesbarre rogion will probably resume soon at reduced rutes. There is to be a meeting held here on Saturday next of men and operators.

Special [nsvatch to Phe Chicago Tribune. BostoN, Jan. 22.—Thoee who suffered by the Chicago fire, and then had to put up with such percentage of their policies as the bankrupt in- surance companies could pay, will be interested to know how a Receiver of the Hide and Leather Insurance Company bas begun to receivo tho re- wards of his breach of trust. Two weeks ago, Judge Devens sentenced John W. Cartwright, one of the Receivers and former President of the Hide and Leatber Insurance Company, to six months’ imprisonment for contempt of court in refusing to make good money abstracted from the assets of the Compauy. He appesled, and to-day a decision has been given, written by Chief-Justice Gray, confirming the decrce. It gives the PARTICULARS OF THE CASE as follows: It appesred by tho cxamination, upon oath of the applicant, that heving been appoicted by this Court, sitting in equily, one of tue Neccivers of an ineolvent insurance company, and being mndebied to the corpora- tion, betore his appointment, $1,650, Lo took from tho nseots of tne corporation in the hanuds of the Receivers and applied and speut for Lis own use, withcat any order or autiority of the Court, the sum of £10,573; that nearly 39,000 of this sam was tekem by Inm within two or threo mouths of his appoint- ment; -that ng entry of the greater part therof was made on the books of the Recervers uutil after the Attorney-General filed an information to remove him from otlice for GROSS NEGLIOENCE AND MALFEASANCE in official duties ; and tuatnopart of these sums, amounting witis Inerest to £18,505.19, Las ever been repaid. 'Che sppellant's stetement that he had no intention to do wrong is irreconcilable with his admiesion that ho appropriated, without tha knowledge of bis nol‘gecen'cm, the sum of £25,000 in bonds of the United States belooging to the Compauy, aud aid wvot roturn fhera unbil after that appropriation bad been aiscovered by the Attor- ney-General, aud & demand msde upon him for them, Tho faking aod spending by the Receiver for his own use, whetber with or without the advico of the other Receivers,of more thaa 310,- 000 of the furds in his possession 08 an officer - and representative of the Court, wax 3 groes DIEACH OF TRUST, tending to bring reproach. diszrace, and distrast upon the sditipisiration of justice, and a contempt of sutnority ¢f the Court; and pun- ishable, according to the law of the land and the established practice of all courts of similar jurisdiction, by fine or imprisonment in the dis- cretion of the” Court. That discretior. is not controlled by the gquestion whether thi offeass might or might not te punished by indictmeut, or by the fact whether or not the appellant hay means of repaying what he abstracted. Upon tue 7acts of this case, that dizcretion was wisely and justly exercised by SENTENCING HIM TO INPRISONNENT for six months, unless sooner discharged, by further order of {lus Court. Tho appelians ind full notice of the nature of tha contempt with wwhich he was charged by $he torms of tae order of notice to show cause why an aitachment should not issuc against him, and the atidavit of one of the Receivers upon which that oxder wag founded, zad be was fully hesrd in_person and by counsel in hia defense. 1lis offense is cleatly set toith in fhe decres adjudging him guilty of contempt in the warrant of commit- mont issued tlercon.

CIVIL RIGHTS. A Colored Man Given Damages for Unjast Discrimination. Special Lnepateh to The Chicago Tribune. DeTrorr, Jan. 22.—In the Superior Court to- day, & suit was tried ip which the plaintif, » col- ored man named Nickels, sought to recover dam- ages for being refused his dinner on board the steamer Jay Cooke on one of her trips from De- troit to Pat-in-Day, alleging that the reason of this being so refused was because he was a col- ored man. His testimony was as fotlows: * On tho 8tl of May last I got on board the Jay Cooke in this citv, and paid the usual first-clase fare— £2.50—which includes dinner on board the boat. I took a seat at the first table with 2 man on each side of me. Thera were one or two vacant seats, and also spare eoats at each of the other two tables. The steward ordered me_to chauge to another table, which I refused to do; and then the waiters re- fused to give mo any food. Tho defenso claimed that he had taken a seat reserved for Iadies, and theinsisting on hischang- ing tavles was on this acconut, and not because of his color. Tho jury held this to be not true, and gave Nichols $100 damages, which, it is understood. the office:s of the boat will p: IRON AND STEEL: A Reduction of Buty Desired by Mase sachusetts Consumers.

A Chazritable Party Gives $14 Toward Buarying a Poor Woman’s Husband, and Shkortly Afterward Catches the Corpse Examining the Money. From the New Orteans Picuyune. A dav or two ago a most abject and poverty- stricken female called on one of our most prom- inent meichants, well known for his liberality and kindness of haart, and after unfolding an appalling tale of misfortune and wratchedness, staced that her husbaud bod died forty-eight honrs before. The merchant was profonndly moved by this revelation of distress. and when his visitor, grephically descrbing ber horror of =n ublic burial, stated that she was unable to dofray the oxpecses herzolf, and that the body was oeginning to decompose in tha room 1nhabited by herself and her orphaned family, his pity rose to an extreme pitch. Hastily putting on his bkat, ho led the woman into the strect, eaying he wonld accompany her to tke place, and aot ouly seo to the funeral, bnt mako some arrangements for the comfort of the afilicted ones thus left left desolate in a cold and t.cartless world. They werc sooa en route. tho benovoleat gentloman caring nothing for tho glances of surprise and suepicion with which his triends regarded this rather incongruous companionship, acd the woman alternately weeping and adding forther particulars of the woeful history whose culmimation they were ' about to witness. Auriving ot the house, which, by the way, was a specially forlorn and neclean establishimeat on the river front of the Second District, the woman's action was confased, not fo sayv pecal- isr. She scemed overcoms, ciazed with grief, first knocking violently ou the door, then jerk- ing an old mitdewed bell-handle, nd finally on- tering without waiting fur an coswer to the sum- mons. They went np a rickety, rotten staircase, and, on tho fourth flyor, entcred & room whoto door consisted of a vlanket hung on naile. Two dirty cadzverous children, crouched mear the fire-place, und in o rongh-henn box of a cof- finlay & swollen and discolored corpse. Its faco was upclean, and blue_and red spots about the eyes and mouth seemed to indicate that de- composition bad already st in. The geatleman was horrified. This was more than he could stand. A sodden odor perveded the room; o frightfal atmosphere of death and abject pov- erty sickened him. _ He thought Le would go. He felt sorry he had ever come. 1t would have been 30 much better to give the woman money wichout bringing bimself in contact with all tuis horrible misery. He took out his pocket-book, and, haoding the woman its ccnteats, which Dhappened to be only 314, told her to call azain and ho would do moie for her. Then he fled. But at tho foot of the stairs ho found he had left his umbrella—a handsome 220 affair, pres- ented on Christmas by his most intimate friead. He hated to do it,—he positively 1ecoiled from” entering that room again,—but it scemed un- fetling to call tho woman down, and ho must return. e did so. Ho burried quickly but goftly np-stairs, tip-tood to the door, lifted the blanict, and sawv—the corpse sotting up in the coffiu counting his 14 over very deliberately. He clatched the umbrella without a word and returned to his placa of business, a specially dis- contented and sheepizh-looking man. TERRIBLE WRECK ON TIE KAW. Sixty Mlen and Their ‘Fenms Start Down the Biver on the, Ice—Excit- iug Scenes and Perrlous Positions. From the Kansas City Times, Jan. 20, The Kansas River, which overy one knows, di- vides Kanxs City from its suburban neigitbor, Wysndotto City, “got upon ga regular tear” yesterday, aad for about half an hour was the Ecene o great excitement, rivaling i intensity the oxcitement prevailng on board the Villo du Havre after her collision with the Loch Erne. The river has been frozen over fora few days pest, and during this time has beea the scene of great bustle and excitement. Hundreds of men are ak: work on tho thin surface of the tranquil Kaw. Day gings gave way to night gange, andnight gangs iv turn went home to give way to the day-light reliefs. Iu was about tne middle of Monday sflernoon when e crisis came. A vast arca of the river's surlaco had been cleared of ice, hundreds of men and teams were going and comiug. The ice had reached a thickness of about six or roven inches, and the thaw of Sunday and Mou- day had made it rather votten. Suddenly a load cracking was heard above, below, and ¢il arennd the workivg partics. The cracking increased with the loud cries of alarm from those up the ziver. A geveral rush was made for the shore, bat too late, for all the ice which had been par- tially eepargted by .cutting on both sides, scparatod with & loud crack, and al- most ‘immediatcly afterwards a breach was_ opeved between the men . on the ice and the shore. Shouts and cries of alarm from those on shore and those who now gemei\‘ed themselyes going_down stream on o uge ice-cake, which was within a few hundred Faids of the rushing, turbid waters of tno dis- “ouri river; these, combined with the cracking of tho immense mass of ice, made a scene of commotion as exciting a8 it was interestiog. Afterthe first alarm bad somewhat subsided, 2 concerted attempt wns made by those on shore to aeeist in rescuing the men and horses now on the floating cake of ice. It was plainly evident that if the vast sheet of rotten ice should reach tho mouth of the river it would be brokem up in the rapid current of the Missouri River, and men and teame mustgo down among tl.e confusiou of broken ice. Ropes, planks, and other appli- ances were brought into requisition as _the ice- :xaft flozted slowly towands tbe month of tho river. But the meén on this fragils raft wore not to be lost. Man himself was powerless to re- strain tho vast sheet of ico or to bnidge over the smooth, placid chasm between it aad shore. But Providence csmo in at the last moment. The raft diitted so that its widest part came across the stream, reaching from shore to rhore. This gorged the ico for a fow minutes, but long enough to allow the imperiled men and hosses to escape to skore, which they lost mo time in doing, all being saved just as the ict. agau broke up and went bovmuiug out of the Kaw ialo the Miesoun Biver. ~ - AMONG THE ARABS, A War of Eaces Between Jews Mahometans—Exccution of an ‘?.: —+*¢53icod for DBlood.”?

While waiting n an ingey court, and outside the door of the jusice-chem, bor. a tall, gaunt Arab was dragzed in to recaive sentence Irom the Pey. Having been already condemned for murder, the dragoman of the Consul-General, who accompanied’ me, told me that, if not pardoned, the execution would tass place immediatels, and hastened mo ot of the Place to take up places in the open space in front, We had scarcely done 80 when the crowd issaod forth from the gaces hoaded by Laba Schathar, the hereditary executioner, in friendly conversa. tion with those nearest him.
