THE KELLOGG (QUESTION AGAIN.—When the army appropriation bill was taken up in the Senate to-day Mr Saulsbury gave notice that immediately after its passage he will cail up the Spofiord-Keilogg case. Senator Davis, of West Virginia, said that the committee on appropria. Uons have ready another important bill—the one to repeal the regular annual appropria- licus—which they intend to follow the army vill, and Le hoped Mr. Saushury would permit it to be taken up. Mr. Saulsbury replied that the elections committee required of him—and here he hut of by a call for the regular order. He was going to say in substance that the com- mittece Were not wiliing to delay the case any longer and they require him to bring {t before the Senate, The democrats who are opposed to consideration of the Kellegz case will endeavor to prevent it from being tuken up, by antagon- izing it with appropriation bills‘and other im- portant public measures.

He says: With rare exceptions, both citizens and officials in Fannin, Union and Towns counties are in sympathy with the lawbreakers. Deputy C lector Shepard reports a large number of seiz- ures by his raiding party in the 2d Georgia dis- trict. He says that on the 13th he returned to Rabun county and found the barns and stables of McLane in ashes, A party of Lilicit distillers, because be gave the revenue officers shelter and something to eat, set fire to them, and while he tried to put out the flames, stood on the hill- side and jeered and shot at him.

A list is enclosed of nine outrages which have been committed upon revenue offi- cers or those who have afforded them sheiter in their raids. ANOTHER INDIAN TROUBLE BREWING.—A tele- gram was received at the War department to- day from Gen. Sheridan, dated Chicago, April 21, saying: ‘he following dispatch from Gen. Pope, is forwarded for the imformation of the general of the army. I respectfully join with Gen. Pope in asking for the suspenston of the order for some time. Weare now reaching the Period of the year when Indians are the most easily stirred up.” The dispatch from Gen. Pope referred to encloses one from Randall, commanding at Keno, I. T., 4 2, saying: “Agent Miles recet tions from the Interior department this morning to take from Little Chief's band ot Cheyennes a number of children and put them to school,” adding the opinion that Little Chief will not comply with the demand, and request- ing that I company, 23d infantry, be sent there. Gen. Pope urges the recalling or suspension of the order to take the children, because it will be sure to creace serious trouble. THE IMMEDTATE DeFicieNcY BIL. may not be called up for several days by Mr. McMahon, who has it in charge—not, at least, until the naval appropriation bill is disposed of. This bill contains the deficiency appropriation for the ceeene printing office, and if it does me a law another furlough of the em- ploy¢s of the public printer will be necessitated, as the $100,000 appropriation heretofore made {s nearly exhausted.

Kemble’s bank—the people’s—which 1s a state and not a national institution, has been enjoy- ing city deposits to double the amount per- mitted by the city ordinances. ‘This has been going op for years, and the weekly reports have shown the bank to be holding on gd funds to the amount of at time a million doi- lars, The bank has been known asthe Ring bank for a long time, most of its directors being city officials, and it has ever since its incorpe- Talion been a@ favorite bank for the deposit of city funds, FORTY-S1XTH CONGRESS.

Mr. Morrill submitted a resolution instruct- ing the committee on printing to take such measures as shall exclude from the permanent Congressional Record what. purports to be a copyrighted argument of a territorial delegate which ap} in the Record to-day, but was Not, in fact, ever delivered in the House of Rep resentatives, (This toa on by Mr Downey of Wyoming, occupying fifteen pages 0 the Record of to-day, purporting to be an argu- ment in support of his bill See 3500,- 000 for painting upon the walls of the Capitol illustrative of the life of Christ } Mr. Saulsbury thought that the House having authorized the poem to be printed, the Senate could not in courtesy interfere. Mr. Morrill satd the Senate would have to bear part of the reputation, good or bad, of author- izing this production. Mr. Harolin said the committee on printing was ‘a just committee, and Rothing would be done without consulting the House. He hoped this affair would result in future exclusion ot hes and other productions not actually de- red in Congress, Mr. Morrill said that since offering the resoln- tion he had learned that the House was consid- ing the matter. He therefore withdrew hts resolution. On motion of Mr. Voorhees the bill introduced by him permitting Ellas C. Boudinot of th» | Cherokee nation to sue {n the court of claims for damages to him by seizure of his property by revenue officers was taken up, ‘Mr. Voorhees supported the biil. ‘The bill was replaced on the calendar. The morning hour having explred the Senate resumed consideration of the army bill. HOS) A rather singular scene oceurred in the House this morning. In the Record there appears a speech in blank verse, entitled “THE IMMORTALS,” which ts copyrighted by Downey, of Wyoming, and which purports to be in support of his bill providing for the paiating of Biblical pictures on the walls of the Capitol. Mr. Garfield called attention to this fact, and moved that the speech be referred to the von- mittee on rules, to inquire whether it 1s compe- tent for a member to copyright his speech, pointing out at the same time the dangers Which might attend such a practice. y replied that he had the opinion an of Congress upon the compe- copylighting bis work. He had no objection, however, to Mr. Garfleld’s motion. Mr. Conger, however, did oppose tt in a rather amusing speech, in which he intimated that Mr. Garfield was envious of the rising young te S ‘The yeas and nays were ordered on Mr. Gar- fleid’s motion. During the roll call the mem- bers separated into gronps, the singular speech being the sole topic of conversation. Mr. Garfiel motion was then agreed to— yeas 119, nays SEPFERSON'S DESK.

Ours is a community also that can appreciate classical music, and Theodore Thomas ranks Washington as the first city in the country in this respect. At the concert everybody was happy. The performers, with such an audi- ence, were naturally Inspired to do their best, and they one and all were called out again and again. Miss Thursby again established her right to the first place amongst the concei singers of the world. Signor Ferranti,a born bufio, gets almost equal applause for his inim- Itable drolieries and his superb musical execu- lion, Brignoli, the famous tenor of a quarter of a century ago, seems to have renewed is youth. He came out in unexpected force tast night, and though he probably could not stand the strain of carrying through a heavy part in grand opera, hé was quite equal to the role of the concert room. Ole Bull, always a great favorite in Washington, was greeted with tremendous applause. ‘hose who remem- ber hima thirty-five years ago on his first visit to this country, a remarkably handsome young map, tall, black-haired, full-chested, slender- waisted, will recall much of his old manner in the present white-headed veteran of seventy. He retains his shapely erect figure, and has still the same way of tossing back his flowing hatr; he holds his violin against his cheek with the same caressing movement, and closes his eyes in performing tender passages in the same rapt fashion. There have been violinists in his day who have surpassed Ole Bull in brilliant execu- tion, but probably none have rivalled him in sympathetic touch, The District in Congress, ‘The Senate amendments to the joint resolu- lution legalizing the health ordinances for the District of Columbia were concurred in by the House yesterday and the bill passed. FRIGHTFUL DISASTER aT A FaiR.—A serious disaster occurred about 9%. o'clock last night at Madison Square Garden, where the fair in ald of the Hahnemann Hospital was in’progress. ‘The western or Madison avenue front of the building collapsed and fell, crashing outward in the street. Part of the roof adjoining also fell in with a crash, causing intense alarm in side the building. The part of the building which Exe way was used as the dancing hall and picture gallery of the fair. There were about eight hundred persons in the entire building when the accident occurred, and several were killed and many injured.

San Francisco, April 22.—The chamber of commerce at its quarterly meeting to-day adopted a resolution, that in the opinion of the chamber, the bill now before Congress author- izing the Postmaster General to contract for carrying the United States mails in American ers of nog less than 1,0 tons, should be 9 arhended that the tonnage [limit) should only apply to vessels plying between the United States and ports in Europe, Asia and Africa, leaving it to the discretion of the Postmaster General to ix the tonnage ef those plying to other ports. A resolution was adopted asking that Wells, Fargo & Co., be permitted to con- tinue their government ‘stamped letter ser as heretofore. A memorial to Congress was also adopted setting forth the defenceless state of the harbor and of Mare Island navy yard chiefly on account of the lack of heavy ritled guns, and asking that 49 to 50 heavy modern “rites” be pla lato position, and at least two turretted iron clads armed with similar ond- nance be maintained in the harbo: Trains Blocked by Sno ‘The latest reports from the mountains on jthe | line of the Central Pactfie rafiroad snowing and blowing hard, and the trains are { blocked.

THE GREAT WESTERN STOR. Professor Tice Investigates It. St. Louis, April 21.—Prof. John H. Tice, the well known meteorologist of this city, whe went to Marshfield to investigate the phenomena con- nected with the storm of Sunday night, tele- graphs the Repullican as follows: Every where along the track of the tornado there is evidence ofa wave of water flowing in the rear of the cloud spouts. At some places there are only faint traces of such a wave, at others the debris is carried up and over obstructions two or three feet high. ‘These waves or currents flowed In the greatest volume up hills. There are places where the entire top soil is washed away by the currents. Fibrous roots and tufts of grass show their jdirection to have been up hill, and what is significant, from ail points of the com- | pass Lowards the top of the hill, where the tor- nado Was raging at the time, and expending its force. No trace at any point can be found where they flowed down hill. Many level plac are swept clean of soil. Leaves, grass, debri: | of wrecked buildings and fragments of plank carried along by the current and left in its track arranged themselves longitudinally to the current.
