OTHER TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. ROCKING ON ATHERFIELD LEDGE. Little or No Hope of Pulling the Eider Off the Rocks, Loxnox, Feb. 2.-Thers now seems to be more than a probability that the North- German Lloyd steamer Lider, whick ran on the | rocks at Atherficld, Isle of Wight, at about 10 | o'clock on Sunday night, will become a total loss. It was hoped last —night that the government and other tugs, would be able to pull the Eider off at mid- it, but all attempts in that direction have ‘Throughout the night a high wind pre- vailed, raising a heavy sea, which caused high breakers to sweep almost continuously over the Eider. he result is that her posi- tion changed decidedly for the worse. Her bow hus risen out of the water and her stern has sunk jower beneath the breaking waves, which deluge her at short intervals. ‘The ‘8 propeller during the night was carried away. WATER GAINING IN THE HOLD. This morning Capt. Heinecke signaled that the size of the leak in the Eider's bottom had increased and that the water was gaining rapidly upon the crew in spite of the ceaseless efforts to keep it down. As the tide begun to rise this morning the hopes of thove who stiii betieved that the Hider | could be floated began to sink to the lowest ebb. for the water steadily rose until it overflowed the after. deck. In addition the fresh breeze referred to in an earlier portion of these despatches, which sprang up this morning, gradually fresbened as anticipated, into a gale of wind, which again caused heavy seas to sweep over the At buif-past 9 “o'clock this mornin cers and eight firemen, having with them a ease of gold, were ianded from the Eider by a life boat. At noon a report was received at Lloyds stating that the Eider was settling and that there was hitle hope of floating her. The dispatch | added that the sea was rough and that the wind was from the westward. With the excep- tion of the gold above mentioned none of the bullion or specie aboard the steamer has been landed. A few bags of tho mail from the Eider and 227 of her passengers have arrived at South- | ampton. They were driven from Atherficld across the Isle of Wight to Cowes, where they took a steamer to Southampton. Here the pas- sengers destined for Bremen will be transferred to the North German Liovd steamer Havel, which sailed from New York January 26 aud which is expected toarriye ut Southampto afternoon. ATHERFIELD LEDGE. Atherfield Ledge where the Eider is stranded lies almost due north by St. Cather's Point, the southern extremity of the Isle of Wight. The ledge lies between Brixton bay and Chele bay. ‘The soundings around the leige are of different depths. Ata little distauce to the west the lead shows a depth of twelve fathoms, which suddenly shoals to five fathoms. Just off the edge of the reef to the north and south tho water is only three fathoms deep. The Needle light, which in passing up the Solent on the way to Southampton the E er should have made on the starboard, is some nine miles north by west of Atherfield ledge. The light is erected on the outermost of the Needles rocks and is elevated thirty feet above high water. —_—— EXPECTS THAYER TO RETIRE. Gov. Boyd Expresse?

Of course I do not know what course Mr. Thayer will pursue, but I suppose he will at once vacate the chair at the state capital As I said before, I cannot now say when I shall go to Lincoln and formally take my scat as governor.

Death of Officer Chandler of Baltimore From Hydrophobia, Barrmwone, Feb. 2.—Patroiman Peter Chan- dler, who was bitten by a beagle hound Decem- ber 17, died this forenoon of hydrophobia. On the date named the little son of Officer Chandler found a stray hound and took it into his home. Chandler was asleep at the time and when he awoke he fed the hound. While the dog was feeding Chandler began to vet him. ‘The — brute jumped and bit him through the left ear. Chandler went to a drug store near by and had the wound canterized, and when he went home hi wife insisted on his killing the dog, whieh h did. Nothing more was thought of the matter, though Chandler's ear wassore forseveral days. Last Saturday night Chandler made an ar- rest. He had to appear against his prisoner early Sunday morning and went to bed in the station house awaiting the trial. He became chilly and bed clothes were piled on him without any warming effect. After the trial he went home and to bed. Dr. Smith was called in, but the nature of the trouble had not developed and Chandler was treated for asthma. Sunday afternoon he became worse. By some intuition he knew that his case was desperate and told his wife to send to the sta- tion for the police to guard him, as he might harm some one. Capt. Claiborne sent Patrolmen Armogorand and Pfisterer to the house. It was soon found necessary to put bandcutfs on the sufferer and straps, such as are used for insane patients, were put upon his wrist. Spasms occurred about every three minutes, and during the in- tervals the patient was not only rational, but fearful of danger to those around him. ‘The terrible —— Officer Chandler was only relieved by dea FIREMEN BECOME HEROES.

She reports having fallen in with one of the scows adrift from New York harbor with four men on her off the coast on Sunday morning last. The crew of the steamer made unsuccessful attempts to rescue the men and smashed their boat in the effort. ‘The steamer lay by the scow all night and on Monday morn- ing found the scow with the men missing, they having probably beon taken off by some other vessels. —__.__ KANSAS ALLIANCE MEN BOLT.

REED MAKES REPLY. ‘Mr. Reed desired to divest the debate of all partisan character, and as he was proposing a democraticamendment (supported by first-rate democratic ‘authority) he was sure that the House would not allow itself to be lashed into astate of wind. This House was democratic three to one, and, instead of Betting into fight it should consider the rules, looking calmly to the and interest of the country. Mr. Reed then quoted from remarks made by Mr. Springer Mr. Blackburn in favor of the Tuc amendment when it was drst offered. ‘MR. SPRIXGER TAKES 4 HAND.

MR. VOORHEES’ EXPLANATION. Mr. Voorhees, rising toa personal question, sent to the clerk's desk and had read « Wash- ington dispatch to the Philadelphia Press with the heading, “The Senate Wasting Time in Obedience to Senatorial Courtesy. Mr.Voorhees Fails to Sustain His Charges. His Scheme to De- feat Judge Wood’s Nomination Nut Supported by the Republicans He Had Counted Upon.” ‘The dispatch went on to state that the Senate judiciary committee bad wasted another ses- sion ont of “senatorial courtesy” to Senator Voorhees; that the attempt of Senator Voorhees to form a coalition with the republicans was a flat failure; that some of the republicans, like Quay, Cam- eron and Higgins, were opposed to the nomina- tion of Geo. M. Dallas of Peunsylvania, and that Mr. Voorhees Lad proposed that “if these dis- gruntled republicaus would induce enough of | their party to aid the democrats in defeat- ing Judge Woods’ nomination the democrats would reciprocate and aid in defeating Dallas. ‘The dixpatch ends with the statement t en would not work and thatit was now reasona- bly certain that ail the nominations would be confirmed next Monday without @ dissenting vote among the republicans. Mr. Voorhees remarked that as tothe subject of “sonatorial courtesy” be had nothing to The setatorial courtesy”. sneered at by black- guards and scoundrelly peopie outside was simply the observance of the decencies of lite which obtained among gentlemen. Some of it had been extendea” to him by ¢he judiciary committee—fo> which he made his profound acknowledgments: but the delay was not more than a week or ten days at the out- side. He had nothing to say about the case of Judge Woods. It was still under investigation, and wituesses had vettobecxamined. It passed his understauding how “this mau” (the corre- spondent) knew what the decision of the committee would be. His principal object, how- related to the last paragraph, where the statement was made ad unqualifiedly that be had made 2 proposition to certain Sei tors that for their assistance in the defeat of Judge Woods’ confirmation he would favor a movement on the democratic side cf the chamber to defeat Judge Dallas of Phila- dciphia. A STRONG DENIAL. Aggroster lie than this it would be hardly possible for his satanic majesty to conceive. Such a wish or thought or suggestion had never entered his mind or emanated from his lips. On the contrary, bad as he thought the appoint ment of Judge-Woods was, improper and unfit as he conceived and knew that judgo to be for a judicial position, he would feol himself dishonored and disgraced beyond redemption if he received—let alone made—a suggestion to defeat an honest and competent tans uke Judge Dallas for the wake of getting clear of the appointment of a man like Woods. Ifany Ser&tor could say that a single sug- gestion or thought of such a corrupt combina- tion had come from him he wanted him to say so. If he (Ar. Voorhees) were capable of making such a suggestion he would bea proper sub- ject for expulsion. And the miserable falsifier, calumniator and slanderer who made that statement from the reporters’ gallery ought to be exposed to the reproof of the Seunte. He called the attention Of the committee on rules to it as one of the most outrageous acts. He would offer no reso- lution on the subject. When the calendar was taken up the bill to prevent the adulteration and ‘misbranding of food and drugs was laid aside until the print- ing bill is disposed of. ‘The latter bill was then n up for consideration. HOUSE. ‘Mr. Morse (Mass.) opened the debate in the House today by rising to personal explanation. A most extraordinary proceeding, he said, had been enacted yesterday by his colleaguo (Mr. Hoar), which he deomed it his duty to take farther notice of. He claimed that this young [earner had violated the proprieties which jould obtain among gentlemen. Who had given that gentleman bis (Mr. Morse’s) manu- the gentleman from Maine. ‘hat would save time and put an end to the controversy. DISTRICT IN CONGKESS, ANOTHER STREET RAILWAY.

TO REPEAL THE MAIL SUPSIDY act.

Mr. Enloe was authorized to pre- re aeport embodying the vicws of the m: Jority on the subject, which be will lay belore the committee on Tuesday next. OF INTEREST TO ALL CORPORATIONS. The Houre commitice on the judiciary today authorized Mr. Culberson to report House bill 456 with an amendment. This bill provides substantially thet a corporation shall be deemed held as @ citizen for all judicial purposes of the state in which it may carry on its business. At present only national banks are considered citizens of the state in which located. The bill also forbids the courts of the United States to take cognizance of suits for damagys, torts, &c., unless the court would have had jurisdiction of the course if the same bad been presented by the party injured. _ LOSS FROM CHEATER POSTAGE. Representative Joun S. Henderson (N. C.), chairman of the House committee on post offices and post roads, a few days ago inquired of the postmaster genera? as to what cffect one-eent postage and half-cent portal cards he Ottice Departme; received a * the reply, in whic ‘ostmaster General that the estimated revenue for department for the current year is £72,777,149.72. Of this 62.5 per cent is revenue from domestic first-class matter, chargeable with the rate. If a redne- tion of the rate from 2 cents to 1 cent upon this class of matter chouid be followed by a corresponding loss of revenue, then a re- duction of one-half in the rate would result in a loss of €22,742,859.28 on the basis of the esti- mated business of the present fiscal year. The loss of revenue trom reducing the postage of postal cards would be $2,330,000, or a total loss of $25,072,859.28, The foregoing estimate is of course based upon the assumption that a like amount of business would be done under the reduced rates as under the present rates; but while it may reasonably be expected that the stimulus of lower rates would result in something more than « normal growth of business, it is not at ail likely that the revenue to be gained from this extra busi- ness would to any appt abie extent com; «n- ate for the loss to be incurred through a re- duction of one-half iu the rates of postage. MOUSE ELECTION CONTESTS. Some of the members on each side politically of the House committee on elections bad not yet bad time to examine and thor- oughly consider the lew and evidence in’ the contested election case of Craig against Stewart, from Pennsylvania, and therefore the committee did not vote upon the case today, as originally agreed upon, but de- ferred vote until next Friday. This sends the argument in the New York election contest of Noyes against Rockwell over until next Tues- day. FREE COINAGE IN THE SENATE. The Seuate committee on finance has at Inet resolved to grapple with the subject of free coinage of silver. At the meeting of the committee this morning there was a discussion of the matter and it was decided that the issue had better be met at once so that the com- mittce could not Le charged with smothering the bills relating to free coinage. Accordingly it was resolved that atthe mecting next Tues- day the Stewart free coinage Dill should be taken up and reported to the Senate. There is little doubt as to the nature of the report, for the discussion this mornin, showed that’ two democratic Senators woul probably join with the republican majority in recommending adverse action upon the Lill. PENSION MATTERS. The efforts made for many years past to in- duce Congress to grant pensions to honorably discharged army nurses is being renewed this year. Today the House committee on private pensions heard an argument by ex- Representative ‘Yoder of Olio, the present sergeant at-arms of the House,in behalf of such ‘a measure. W. Wallace Foster, representing the deaf soldiers’ organization, made an argument be- fore the invalid pensions commmittce today in favor of increasing the rates of pension for ESCAPE OF A His Sleter’s Body Shielded Him From a Dep- uty'’s Pistol Shot. Artaxta, Ga., Feb. 2.—Several deputy mar- shals have arrived here after a big haul. The deputies raided three stills and eaptured seven men.

One of the deputies became separated from his companions when he was suddenly attacked iy the two women, one of whom pinioned arms to his side, at which the prisoner made off.
