ALBUQUERQE, N. M., March 27.—About three ofclock “yesterday aflernoon a man named Groendyke, a cow-boy in the employ of C. H Fitzpatrick, who owns a large cattle ranch about twenty miles from this city, in Valencia county, came riding post haste into town with the news that a band of Mexican herders had attacked Fitzpatrick’s cow-boys, killing one named Ira Meskines, and driving the rest into the house, where they were beselged. ‘The only weapon the cow-boys had was a Winches ter rifle and this was in the hands of Meskines when he was killed, and it was captured by the Mexicans. ‘The men in the house were able to Keep the attacking party out by barricades for lyke suid they would be mas- red ifnot relieved soon, He had escaped himself by crawling on his’ stomach along an arroyo and through the underbrush until clear of the attacking party, and then riding for his life to this city.

THE WAHPETON FIRST NATIONAL IN DANGER - OF GOING TO THE WALL. Crt1cAGo, March 27-—A special dispatch from Wahpeton, Dak., regarding the closing of the First National bank of that place, says: “There have been rumors for several days that the bank was in trouble, It has been making heavy advances tothe Wahpeton Mill and Elevator company. Business at the bank continued as usual until yesterday, when the cashier, Mr. Hayward, declared his inability to pay the de- mands that were being made. In the evening @ meeting was held by a number of the deposi- tors and a statement made which was gener- ally satisfactory. It showed deposits of $58,000, discounts $104,000, rediscounts $22,- 000. Resolutions were passed and promises made to sustain the bank, which were carried out to-day, when # considerable amount was advanced by business men, and all checks pre- sented were cashed. There is no panic, although confidence is somewhat shaken. The bank has attached all the property of the Wah- peton Milland Elevator company to secure its claim of $35,000. Dunn & Thompson, wheat dealers of Duluth, have a claim of $13,000, which is yet unsettled. If the bank fails it may carry down several other concerns, A number of Si. Louis parties are interested in the bank.” ee Mrs. Parnell’s Condition Serious.

Dr. Lincoln, after his return from Secretary Manning's bedside at 11:30 o'clock last even- ing, said that his patient was, if anything, 9 shade better than Thursday night, He had had avery comfortable day. He did not look for any material change for the better for several days, A change for the worse was what was to be feared in such a case, but he felt encouraged. The Secretary's breathing was less labored than it bad been, and he joined in conversation and Joked with those about him. His freer breathing the doctor attributed to his reduction in flesh, owing to the low nourishment given him. NO DECIDED CHANGE THIS MORNING, Mr. Brennan, Secretary Manning's private secretary, called at Mr. Manning’s house this morning and learned that the Secretary passed @comfortable and restful night, and was hold- ing his own this morning. Mr. Youmans, the ehiet Seek, also oe s morning, and sub- Sequently stated that retary was com~ fortable, but there was no material improve- ment Although Mr. Manning’s son has been here for several days past, he aid not tet his fatner know of his presence until yesterday, when he Paid a visit tothe sick room. He was some- What encouraged by his ap] which Was not so bad as he had been led to expect, nd hopes for the best, The reports trom the sick room to-day go to show that the Secretary's condition bas not changed materially for the better or worse, and he is still regarded asin a very danger- us condition. No? THE SHADOW OF A CHANGE. Dr. Hamilton stated this afternoon to a STAB reporter that there was not a shadow of a change in Secretary Manning’s condition. He is simply holding his own, Efforts are belng made to secure a suitable patent hospital bed for the Secretary to rest, Upon, so that he can be easily moved and shifted, ASSISTANT SECRETARY FAIRCHILD, who is acting Secretary, now occupies Mr. Man- ning’s desk, for the reason that the waste pipes in his own office room are defective and are being repaired. 3 THE SECRETARY NOT OUT OF DANGER YET. When Doctors Lincoin and Hamilton stepped into Secretary Manning's sleeping room at 10 o'clock this morning the Secretary stretched out his hand and saluted them cheerfully. After remaining at his bedside about an hour, the two physicians took their departure. Be: fore leaving Dr. Lincoln sald to an Associated Press reporter: “There is really no change in the Secretary's condition; he is holding his own and that is about all that can be said. He at times complains of headache, but that is to be expected; it is one of the results of the trouble at the base of the brain.” “His pulse is rather variable,” sad Dr. Hamilton, “but not Quite so much so as yesterday.” *He'ls not out of danger, understand me,” remarked Dr. Lincoln, “and will not be for some time yet, but we feel encouraged as time goes by; time alone can solve the problem,” RESTING VERY COMFORTABLY, It was stated at Secretary Manning's house late this afternoon that the Secretary was rest- ing very comfortably, —+e4+—___ WHAT THE SENATE WILL DO. Nominations to be Taken Up and Rapidly Disposed of. Now thatthe Edmunds resolutions are finally disposed of, the prevailing impression among Senators of both parties is that pending nomi- nations will be taken up and disposed of rapidly. Itis plainly not the intention of the majority to construe these resolutions as binding upon the Senate to reject any nomina- tion simply and soicly because papers on file may be refused. Leading republican Senators in the closing debate declared that, notwith- standing the resolutions, they would consider themselves free to consider nominations to take the plaze of suspended republicans upon the merits or demerits of the cases, respec- vely. A republican Senator sald toa STaR reporter to-day that he should certainly vote upon each and every nomination Just as if the resolutions had not been adopted, though he voted for them. He added that’ he expected to see all the pending nominations confirmed except such—if there be any such—as It may be shown are of bad character. It seems to be understood that the Senate will not persist in demanding the papers relat- ing to cases of suspension, In cases where & suspended official has complained that he has Teason to believe charges have been made against him, the simpie statement of a Senator that no such charges exist will be taken as sufficient, There are cases, it is said, where suspensions have been made becituse of some delinquency on the part of the incumbent. In such cases, as a rule, the deposed incumbent has not manifested any de- sire for an investigation, and his silence will be construed to mean that he has no objection to going out of office. ‘The Senate will begin early hext week, perhaps on Monday, to hold execu- Uve sessions quite regularly and the calendar of nominations will be cleared up pretty rapid- ly. ‘The republican Senators generally want to pursue this policy. ————+e+____ The Metropolitan Railroad Company. A LETTER FROM THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS TO CHAIRMAN INGALLS. The District Commissioners have addressed a letter to Hon. John J. Ingalls, chairman of the Senate committee on the District of Columbia, as follows: “The Commissioners have the honor to trans- mit herewith an amendment which should, in their opinion, be incorporated in Senate bill No. 851, being @ bill to amend the charter of the Metropolitan R. R. Co. As the Commis- sioners understand the fucts, the only author- ity for the occupation of Connecticui avenue for street rail 1 is derived from an act to incorporate the Connecticut Avenue and Park Railway Co., approved July 13, 1868, (U, 8. Statutes at Lafge, vol. —, page —). Bec.'9 of this act requires— “That the said company shall place firs class cars on said railway, with all the modern improvements, for the convenience and com- fort of passengers, and shall run cars thereon during the day 4s often as every ten minutes, between Pennsylvania avenue and Boundary street, and through the day and night on the entirg road, for such portions as may be com- pleted, as ‘often as the public convenience Inay require.’ ‘The company has ignored this provision, and instead of running ears through to Boundary @ connecting car runs at very irregular and. ‘in- frequent intervals only from Dupont Circle to Boundary and renders very inadequate service to the public; there is a considerable population beyond Dupont Circle dependent on this ser- vice and it is entitled to better accommodation, and the first part of the proposed amendment is designed to accomplish that purpose.
