SENATE, On motion of Mr. Hale a joint resolution for taking the census in Alaska (allowing special agents there $7 a day to cover all expenses) was taken from the calendar and passed. THE FUR SEAL LEASE, The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Voorhees in regard to the lease of the fur seal islands of Alaska to the North American com- mercial company was reported back from the finance committee by Mr. Morrill adversely, on the ground that the Treasury department had already made the lease and that the committee had no power to interfere in the matter. Mr. Voorhees said that there was nothing further from his intention in offering the reso- lution than to make any imputation on the conduct of the Secretary of the Treasury. From information in his possession he had been led to believe that there were facts that had not been properly brought to the Secre- tary's attention, and his object had been to bring these facts to the Secretary's considera- tion, The committee having decided that the matter was res adjudicata he acquiesced in that es The resolution was indefinitely post- pone . PLACED ON THE CALENDAR. Among the bills reported from committees and placed on the calendar were the following: To amend the act for a bridge across the Missouri river by the Forest City and Water- town company in Dakota, Giving the right to build its bridges to the Virginia, Missouri and Western railroad com- any. : ‘Authorizing the construction of a bridge across Cane river, Louisiana, AN ENGROSSING OLERK’S ERROR, A bill in relation to a bridge across the Arkansas river in the Indian territory which had passed both houses some days ago was again reported and passed on a statement by Mr. Vest that an engrossing clerk of the Senate had in the engrossment of the bill omitted one section. Mr, Frye asked what clerk had committed that error. Mr. Ves Mr. Frye—“‘And a week ago a House clerk did something like that.” Mr. Vy ‘es; we have had three of these things within ten days.” Mr. Frye—*‘So that one committee alone and almost one Senator alone has had to have cor- rections made iu bills through the fault of en- grossing clerks. FIQST OF THE KIND FOR SIX YEARS, Mr. Jones (Ark.) said, on behalf of the Sen- ate clerks, that this was the first error of the kind that bad occurred in that office for six dded that in each of the three @ had been detected in the secretary's office and had been promptly re- ported. ADDITIONAL SENATE EMPLOYES. Resolutions for the appointment of several additional Senate employes were reported from tae committee on contingent expenses and were agreed to. THE TRENTON MONUMENT.

THE ARKANSAS CONTEST. The consideration of the Arkansas contested “‘An engrossing clerk of the Sen- then resumed, Mr. Dalzell (Pa.) taking the floor, In supporting the claims of the contestant he said that in the election in the first district of Arkansas Winchester rifles, revolvers and bowie knives had played an important part. This district, he said, was adjoining that in which Mr, Clayton, a man of national reputa- tion, when in the exercise of a right which be- longed to the humblest American citizen, had been murdered in cold blood at the very foot of the altar of liberty. CHARGING INTIMIDATION AND FRAUD. Mr. Dalzeli confined his remarks principally to the election methods of the democrats in Crittenden county, charging intimidstion and fraud and Keanrdietgen J the statement made | by Mr. Outhwaite of Ohio that there was no evidence that the ‘‘double-action” ballot box was used in the country. Mr. Outhwaite challenged the production of any evidence that the ballot box exhibited by him yesterday had ever been used, Mr. Dalzeli replied that the contention of the majority of the committee on elections was that a ballot box identical with that had been used in election case of Featherstone against Cate was | favor of the claime of the contestee, Cate, The case, he said, was peculiar one. The counsel for the contestant was W. W. Dudley, better known, perhaps, as ‘“Blocks-of-five” Dudley. It was an interesting thing to hear that notori- ous gentleman discussing before the com- mittee of claims the im ce of the purity of the ballot and the necessity of giving the voter the untrammeled and free right to vote ashe plonsed. To bor- row the simile of the gentleman from Massa- chusetts (Mr. Greenhalge) when he (Mr, Crisp) heard Dudley's statement, he thought he would say, “This is “THR DEVIL QUOTING SCRIPTURE,” but it had occurred to him that while the notorious Indianian might not be as his dis- tinguished friend from Massachusetts was, a civil service reformer, he was not the devil, and he knew that what he was quoting to the committee was not Scripture, {Laughter.] A PROTEST FROM INDIANA, Mr. Cheadle (Ind.) entered his protest against the making of the character of a man who in the field of battle had spent his blood in the defense of his country and whose life he (Mr. Cheadle) challenged any human bei attack. [Applause on republican side]. nk body on other side was abie to prove single charge against the republicans of Indi- ana, [Renewed applause, ] Mr. Crisp was unaware that he bad said any- thing to Provoke the outburst on the part of his friend from Indiana. He had spoken of a man’s reputation throughout the country—the general repute in which he was held—and he ad not spoken unkindly, He had been illus- a the peculiarities of the case. That was al showing that the counsel for the , who had argued for a free and pure ballot, had such a reputation throughout the country that he did not suggest to the hearers of his argument that he was strictly in earnest in making it. Did not gentlemen know the different effect upon the public mind the same words might have when coming from different men. ‘That was the idea he theant to convey. When he had heard the counsel talking about the importance of a pure ballot and the protection of the people from corrup- tion at the polls, though be epuld not. call hima the devil quoting the scripture, he was re- minded of the negro rhyme, preserved by the Senator from North Carolina: “De bigger that you see de smoke, De less de fire will be, And de leastest kind of possum Climbs the biggest kind of tree. De leader at de ole camp ground Dat kin loudest sing and shout Is gwine to rob some hen roost Beto’ de week 1s out.” [Laughter.] Mr. Crisp then took up the evidence in the case, and argued that in its report the majority of the committee had not obeyed the law of tair play—a law which was dear to the Ameri- can people. TO BE INVESTIGATED. A Court of Inquiry on the Case of Com- mander McCalla. A stout, quiet-looking man of medium height, with rather thick, but close-cut side whiskers and a mustache, an extensive baldi- tude on top of his head and wearing eye glasses across the bridge of his nose—such a man was that who sat at s desk in the of- fice of detail, Navy department, this morning writing out a letter to the Secretary of the Navy asking that he order an investiga- tion into certain charges and allegations against his conduct that have lately appeared ip the newspapers, His name was Commander wman H. McCalla, the commander of the U. 8. corvette Enterprise, recently arrived home from a rather stormy cruise—stormy more es- pecially in the line of disciplinary troubles than struggles with the sea. He wants the Secretary to find out the truth of the matter, so he says, and he accordingly took the easiest way to do that and wrote oui 4 REQUEST FOR A COURT oF INQUIRY, He first submitted it to Commodore Ramsay, chief of the bureau of navigation. They then took it in to Secretary Tracy and showed it tohim. TheSecretary agreed that that was the easiest way out of the difficulty, and granted the request after talking with the two Officers for some time about the'case. The commander, who is not a particularly awe- inspiring looking man, then began to make a tour around the offices. greeting his brother officers and telling them how he has been ma- ligned by the press, THE DETAIL FOR THE COURT is as follows: Rear Admiral L. A. Kimberley, Commodore W. P. McCann and Capt. Stanton, The court is ordered to convene at the Brook- lyn navy yard next Tuesday morning and begin an inquiry into the condition of affairs prevail- ing on board the Enterprise during her cruise, CHARGES BY MAIL, The Secretary's mail this morning contained @uumber of anonymous communications pre- ferring charges against McCalla, but they were in such form that no notice could be paid to them by the department. Several of them contained clippings from ne: cerning the ugly allusions to Me! on board ship. The “round robin” or petition from the sailors on the vessel, which it was said they were signing, has not made its appearance, nor bave any complaints from either Ensign Kline or Engineer Tentwistle, Lieut.

FIFTY MILES WIDE. The Ohio River at Cairo is Quite Ex- pansive Just Now. Carmo, Int, March 4.—The Ohio river is now over fifty miles wide at this point, It extends from the Cairo levee, where it is banked up forty-five feet above the low-water mark, into Kentucky till it strikes the hills there, forming one solid sheet of water, except for the narrow strips of ro¢k-bound earth upon which the Mobile and Ohio and the Illinois Central rail- rods run south, A mile below here it joins the Mississippi, which in turn extends into Missouri another five miles, meking the com- bined width of the two rivers over one hun- dred miles. The current is terrific and brings down great quantities of heavy drift, which makes navigation pertlous. The ferry boat Three States made two trips to East Cairo, Ky., cy aud one up the err to the issouri, rescuing people camped out on ground they supposed was beyond the reachof the flood, but which was being rapidly sub- merged. At Paducah, Ky., fifty miles up the river, there is much uneasiness, The city is not pro- tected by levees, as Cairo is, and in 1882 was flooded to the depth of six feet. Already the water has reached within a few feet of the door of the Richmond house, which stands on the river front, and the two great tobacco ware houses are flooded. Ten thousand hogsheads of tobacco stored in them were removed last week. Sunday the marine ways were com- pelled to «i md operations because the steamer Idlewild, that was undergoing repuirs, had to be let down unfinished. ST GLE A BANK TELLER GONE.

The air pumps are being worked to their utmost capace ity to ventilate the Stanton mine, which adjoins and is connected with the South Wilkesbarre shaft. If the men reached the Stanton mine they may be alive, as the air there is good, In order to reach it, however, they had to travel over a mile from the place where they were working and it is feared that they were overtaken and suffocated by smoke, Every- thing possible is being done by the mine of- ficials to rescue the men. One of the city fire engines was put to work early this morning and is Low pouring two large streams of water into the burning mine. The fire will cause «loss of over $100,000, The Lehigh and Wilkesbarre coal company has been particularly unfortunate of late, Only a month ago seven men lost their lives in the company’s mine st Plymouth.
