SCHUETZE, The U. 8, minister at St. Petersburg has re- ported to the Secretary of State, under date of February 23, 1886, that the evening previous he received a letter from Lieut. W. H.Schuetze, dated Yakutsk, East Siberia, December 28, 1885. It announced that he left Irkutsk ou November 29, and arrived at Yakutsk Decem- ber 17, after a comfortable journey, though the snow ‘was very deep and the winter travel had Just begun. He was hospitably received by the governor, and was informed that Instructions ad been given to render him all possible as~ sistance. On December 22 he sent forward a large part of his, stores in charge of a Cossack, placed under his orders by the governor. He eapeme to leave Yakutsk December 29, and to have all his stores in Bulun by the middle of February.

He hoped to be able’ to reach Irkutsk on his return before the spring break-up in April. St. Patrick’s Day Celebrations. A LARGE PUBLIC MEETING AT CARROLL HALL, AND A BALL AT ABNER'S. The celebration of St. Patrick’s day, yester- day, was without the attractions of the music of brass bands and the movement of martial feet, but it was none the less hearty and genu- ine. The absence of the glitter of the street parade was a strong evidence of the patriotism of the Irish citizens, as it meant that the money that would have been thus expended would be contributed to the parliamentary fund of Ire- jand, ‘Last evening a large public meeting was held at Carroll hall, where, above the stage, which was draped with an Irish flag, were the words: “ It's glorious to belong to a race about to wit- ness the achievement of their independence after 700 years.” In addition to the speake: Tepresentatives of the various societies occupied seats on the platform, and fine music was ren- dered by voices selected from the choirs of St., Matthew's, St. Patrick’s, Immaculate tion and St. Dominic's’ churches, under the lrection of Mr. L.

Mr. Cameron to-day presented several peti- tions in the Senate from citizens of Pennsyl- vania setting forth that as the liquor traffic in the District of Columbia 1s a prolific suurce of distressing poverty, vice and crime, injurious to the general welfare and detrimental to the public service, and by the express terms of the constitution Congress is empowered to exercise exclusive jurisdiction over the District, the pe- titfoners pray the enactment of a law to pro- hibit the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors in the District.

Farther Testimony Before the Special House Committee. Mr. J. Webb Rogers stated in his testimony before the special telephone investigating com> mittee of the House yesterday that the gentle’ men to whom the Pan Electric stock was issued were very willing to accept the stock and enjoy any benefit that might come trom it, but were not willing to supmit to any assessments for the expenses of the company. At first no stock was printed, but each member of the company had acertificate written by Col. Casey Young. Senator Harris was determined that no stock should be issued. He would withdraw from the association first. Witness said it was sug- gested in conversation by somebody “that pos- sibly this whole thing will fail, and in that case all concerned would be looked’ upon as scoun- drels; so they had refused to go forward.” Dr,’ Rogers said that within the past three weeks a banker who was stopping at the Ebbitt had offered him $17,500 for his $500,000 of Pan-Electric stock. ‘When the company was formed Gen. Johnston held _no_ public office and nobody had any idea that, Mr. Cleveland would be elected or Senator Garland become Attorney General, although witness confessed that he afterwards did_ his best to make Gar- land Attorney General by complimenting him in a book which he pablished about “The Plumed Knight Against Grover Cleveland.” Witness said that Col. Young told him that Garland had promised to bring suit agaiust the Bell company 1n the name of the United States, ‘The cnairman of the committee asked—“Did Young indicate that he had had au interview with Garland?” A. Yes, I think so. It was predicated on that. When he said that Garland promised I said, yery emphatically: “It Garland has promised, he “will do it.” ‘Then Young said: “But Gar- jand has said he will refer the matter to Mr. Goode.” Then said I: “How about that? How would Goode act? Would he do as weil as Gar- land?” “Ob, yes” suid he; “I believe I would rather have le than Garland. He will be allright.” That is the substance of the conver~ sation. ‘The chairman—Are you clear that he told you Garland had promised? . As clear as that I say the Confiteo as clear as that Texist. I stake my sal on it, because I_rose up and said: “If Garland has promised, he will doit.” I was delighted, of course. THE EXAMINATION CONTINUED TO-DAY. ‘When the committee resumed its labors at noon to-day, Dr. Rogers was further examined. Recurring to the conversation held with Young in his room about the government suit, witness said Young had told him that the otherparties— the Natioual Imperial company—had collected $75,000 worth of testimony in Europe, and they were desirous of a combination in the suit, so as to put that testimony against some Uttle influence that they (the Pun-Electric peo- ple) might have. That was about two weeks fore the institution of the government suit, Witness had been a party to the National Se- ¢ret Telephone company, organized two years before the Pan-Electric by Messrs. Hine, Hume, Dean and Gen. Thos. Ewing, of Ohio. ‘The cap" ital was $5,000,000, based on his son's inven- tons. Withess had sold out his stock in the Secret Telephone company. OBJECTION WAS MADE to the line of inquiry as not being germane to the subject under investigation, and Mr. Oates wished the committee to decide at this point whether it would be proper to go outside of the subject-matter of the resolution directing the investigation. ‘Mr, Kanney said it would seem that all of these companies were more or less closely con- nected, and the committee should not attempt to shield anybody. Alter same further discussion the objection was sustained by the chairman, SALES OF STOCK. The witness was then requested to state the transfers of Pan Electric stock or Pan Electric Telephone stock made by himself, He replied that he gave Looney a sixth interest in the Pan Electric company, but, as there was no stock, of course there Were ‘no transfers. After the telephone and telegraph patents had been taken out Looney had gone out with the certifi- cates and made sales to individuals. Sales had been made to Mr. Nelly, Col. Boyle, Jacob ‘Thompson and Dr. Watson, of which witness got one-half the proceeds and Looney the other waif, Witness had made other transfers to his Wite, to Thomas Mitchell and Mr. Dean or Mr. icEwen, ‘MEMBEKS OF CONGRESS. ‘Witness said that he knew Mr. Money was chairman of the post office committee of the House. Money was not a candidate for Post- master General at that time, and witness had done nothing to help him to that office. Wit ness had never sold any stock to a member of Congress, and knew of no sules of that kind, unless it should appear that a man named Howard, who had bought some stock, had been @ member of Congress. Mr. Ranney asked how the witness had dis- criminated in distributing stock to members. ‘The witness replied, smilingly, that in the case of the New York company, the Postal company, he had offered stock to’ Messrs Cox and each, rather than to Mr. Ranney, because the first-named gentlemen lived in New York ‘and he had designed the stock to be floated in the New York stock market, while Mr. Ranney lived in Massachusetts. DID Nor WISH TO CORRUPT MEMBEES OF CON- GRESS, Mr. Ranney wished to know why the witness had selected members of Congress as recipients of stock. “Oh! [did not distribute this stock with a view tocorrupt thesegentiemen ineither house of Congress.” ———_—_—cee____ Sharp Colloguy in the Senate. MR, EDMUNDS AND MR. BECK LOCK HORNS ON THE DUSKIN CASE. In the Senate late yesterday afternoon a sharp colloquy, full of personalities, occurred be- tween Messrs, Edmunds and Beck. Mr. Beck said that Mr, Edmunds knew that Duskin was not fit to hold the office of U.S. attorney in Alabama; that in March, 1881, Duskin was nominated and the nomination Was reterred to the judiciary committee, which refused to recoimmend his confirmation; that after the ad- Journment of Congress he was reappointed, and the following fall and winter his nomination was twice again sent to the Senate, but Mr. Edmunds did not see fit to have him confirmed, ‘Mr. Edmunds raised the point of order that executive secrets were being revealed. ‘Mr. Beck retorted that the public press showed three nominations of Duskin and the refusal to confirm him, and he added it was because Mr. Edmunds knew Duskin to be unworthy that he offered the resolution about him. He (Ed- munds) hoped to entrap the administration into replying that Duskin was unworthy, and then to hold that reply up asa precedent and ask if all other officials suspended are un- worthy. Mr, Beck refused to acknoWledge that apointof order had been raised, and Mr. Ed- munds continued to appeal to the chair, who finally decided that Mr. Beck had an undoubted right to refer to public facts such as a nomina- tion, "Mr, Beck declared that Duskin was known to him and to Mr, Edmunds as an unfit man for the office, and that the Senate records proved his unfitness. In response to a remark ot Mr, Edmunds implying that Mr. Beck had violated his oath and done violence to his honor in_re- ferring toexecutlve matters, Mr. Beck said: “The Senator from Vermont speaks ot my honor and ‘Oath and Integrity and compares them with his.

The weather was clear and the wind was blowing only a fair sailing breeze. It is my opinion that the vessel was headed athwart of our course. According to the rules of the road at sea, she had the right of way, and it was the business of the steamer to either fall off and let her pass to leeward or check up and let her cross our bows. Instead of this the Oregon forged ahead at @ full rate of speed, and the | schooner strack her on the side, stem on.” Mr. Farwell said that in his opinion the signals Were inadequate to the needs, as the cannon could probably not be heard twenty rods dis- tant, and skyrockets did not ascend higher than the must kead.
