SUPREME COURT. S67, Lhe collector of Internal revenue at Springfleld, IL, made distralot upon the home- steadof Hon. Wm. M. Springer, of that city, RoW a prominent member of Congress, for the collection of an income tax due from litm, aud Which he neglected and refused to pay. The Property was sold in March of that year. and was declared by the collector to be purchased by bim for the United States. The law, hox- ever, allowed Mr. Springer one year after tue sale in which to redeem his, property. He neg- lected to avatl himself of this privilege, and 1 1Si4 the collector executed a deed of it'to the | United States. In is75 sult was brought in the U. S. Circuit Court at Springfield, to eje2t Mr. Springer from the premises. This suit was there decided against him, and he took it to the U.S. Supreme Court, where a decision was ren- dered yesterday aliirming the decision of ihe court below. This, in effect, established the ule of the United States to the property. Whenever it 1s sold by the government {t must be sold 2t public auction. Mr. Springer, there- fore, if he desired to purchase it must compete with all others who see fit to bid for it. The Chinese Treaty Publication. WHAT SENATORS SAY ABOUT IT, The Senate committee on privileges and elec- tlons held a secret meeting this morning, when the proposed investigation of the publication of Uhe Chinese treaty was discussed. No witnesses were ordered summoned nor has tt been positively determined to make an tnyesttza- ton, The purpose of the movement originally was to ascertain if any Senator had given out the treaty. There Is no idea, says a Senator, of punishing or trying to punish any newspaper moan for pubiishing the treat; Nobody blam: the newspapers for publishing information. In fact very little interest ts felt by Senators 1a the matter. One Senator remarked that he did not think the Chinese treaty worth making a uss over, that there was nothing In It neecs- sary to be kept secret, and besides the comm’ sloners had given all the points of the treaty cut In advance. Correspondents who have t2en dreading arrest and punishment beeau of their having published the treaty may rest easy. Tne investigation 15 not likely to hurt anybody—if any investigation shall be at- ‘teqepted. The tnter-Oceanic Canal. UEARING BEFORE THE HOUSE COMMITTEE, ‘The House committee on foreign affairs nad another hearing this morning on the subject of the inter-oceanic canal and the Monroe doc- trine, and was addressed by Mr. S. L. Pheips, As representative of the Nicaragua Canal coim- pany, ‘The point of Mr. Puelps’ argument was the danger to be apprehended from the sub- Jects of a foreign power gaining a foothold on. the American continent, whica would give to thelr government the right of tnterferlug for the protection of their rights, and he cited the case of the Easi Indla company, which began as a commercial enterprise and ended in mak- Ing the Queen of England the Empresas of India, a Striking example of that tendency. The U. 5. government, he claimed, should control any cabal across the isthmus, and he advocated. in that connection, the superlor advantage of the Miearagua project, Mr. Hiil asked whether the idea was that the government should furnisa the capital or ep bonds for the construction ef the work. Mr. Phelps replied that it would be desirable for the government to become a sibseriber at Once for one-balt of the capital stock, so as t) be able always to maintain contro! of it, and prevent its belug taken up abroad. Mr. Hill tustavced the case of the Pacific rall- roads and the manner tn which lis managers enriched themselves through the Crertit Mobi- er, and asked whether tf the government were te furnish half the cost of construcuing a canal the result would not be a clear swindle upon the government to that exteat, whether the leading men of the company would not so man- age by thelr estimates, contracts, we., as to Urow practically the whole expense upon the government. Mr. Phelps replied Unat the Nicaraguan gov. ctor in Tue board, ss goveroment (it it would have flve directora, < would constitute a majority of directors, by whom the interests of tie gov- ernment would be Watched and guardeu. ‘Tne hearing 1s to be closed next ‘Tuursday, when Mr. Thompson is to finish bis argument, SsnaTor Bruce says the letter written ty him to W. R. Moore, of Memphis, which was published yereraay,, was @ private communica- Uon; that he had no idea of Its being published and Very much regrets that it was given out. ‘THE PENNSYLVANIA SENATORIAL STRUGGLE.— Senator Don Cameron left for Harrisburg last night.

These are Judge Don A. Pardee, of New Ocleans, but a batlve of Ohio, and Albert H.

The Canima was steaming very slowly, and conseyuently could Lot answer her helm quickly. The Wid- Grington appeared to be under a pretiy good lead of steam and was crossing the forier’s ack heading toward the City. As soon as this was perceived the Canima reversed her engines under full speed and poried her helm, but be- fore she could lose her headway she ran into the Widdrington. The Canima bad her stern lwisted and afew bow-plates started, but be- youd this sustained no Very serious damage. ‘The Wiadrington ran into the gas whart with a crash that might have been heard half a mile off. She was found with her bow two or three yards into the wharf and appareatly sinking her stern. ‘The vessel has settled azround her entre lepgth.
