Thé vesolution fixing the day of the adjournment of congress was not of- ferad yestordsy because it was sug- gasted by the committee on_appropri- tions to try first what could be done by meeting in the eveniog. ASSAY OFFICE AT ST. LOUIS. The houe sommittee on coinage, we'ghts and measures has authori Representative Bland to report favor- ablya bill authorizing the secretary of the treasury to estiblish an assay office at St. Louis. WELLS, FARGO & 0.8 P. 0. Postmaster General Kevhas decided 10 take uo action either one way or the other in ths matter of Wells, Fargo & Co. and their independent postoffice basiness. It is near the mrol his administration and the people of the Pacific coast seem to be aga'nst break- ing up the work of Wells, Fargo & Co. Thesé reasons actuate the postmaster- general in takiog this course. _ CONCRESSIONAL. BENATE. Bpecial’dispatch to The Boe. Wasamseroy, May 11—1 a. m. Senator Buraside moved to lay zside all pending orders and take up the joint resolution to amend the act for sundry civil expenses for the current yesr. The amendment relates partic- vlarly to gecgraphicalsurveys. It was ued sgainst the amendment that it suthorized the extension of the sur- vey over oll the states, and it was, therefore, sn interference with the righta of the states in this regard. Senator Bayard ssid it possible he would call the Eaton tariff commision bill up in the morninghourto-morrow. Senator Beck said the report of the committee was not unsnimous. He would oppose the bill and favor Gar- field’s. He charged that the bill was on the side of machine petitions. Senator Eaton denied it. Pending considerativn of the bill the morning hour expired, and con- sideration of the Spofford-Kellogg case was resumed, and Semator Hoar a dressed tho senate, He said it was hardly possible to overrate the im- portance of the question. It involves the title of an office of great import- ance and.cignity, and the question involves more than mere personal rights. But, the voice that is now posed to be tifled is the last from the states recently in rebellion. The record of the men from these states, now holding seats here, shows blows strack at the life of this nation, while the record of this senator (Kellogg) shows military service commissioned by Abraham Lincoln. He then re- ferred to his investigation of Kellogg’s administration of affairs in Louisiana, and he highly complimented him for statesmanship. A minority of the committee aflirm that this is a ques- tion to be decided by the senate and not the state. The position taken by 3he senator from Georgia (Hill) is a denial of the supremacy. He m: tained that the senate was a judicial body, and quoted the clause in the constitution which provides that each house ehall be judge of elections of its own members. He thought that if any question could be ssid to have been determined in the senate this on- ly was ome of them, and further if the senate decided anything it de- cided this great constitutional ques- tion by a vote in_the Indiana case of 1865. The docirine is advanced that revolution In @ state has a retractive effect upon the dec's'on of a eenator. Senator Hoar-—The resolutions sub- mitted by the senator from Georgia (Hill) are my authority. Senator Hill—The resolutions mean nothing of the kind. The question was, what was the legal legislature, and the state settled the question by declaring that the Packard legislature never was the legal legislature. Senator Hoar—Kellogg was elected the Packard legislature in June, 1877, Spofford not until some months afterwarde. Tho question decided by the senate was which legislature at that time was the legal legislature. Senator Hoar concluded his re- marks and Senatar Hill of Georgia, took the floor, but yielded to_Senator Rollins, who called up the bill to reg- nlate the use and prevent the waste of Potomac water. The bill was dis- cussed until 5 o’clock p. m., when the senate went into executive session, and at 5:10 p. m. adjourned. e e Disgatch to PWasnrsorox, May 10—4p. m.— In the house a bill was introduced calling on the ncuhrlu of state for any circalar lstter to United States ministers and relative to Gen. Grant's By Mr. Daggett: For the survey of lands within railroad subsidy limits. By Mr. Lounsberry: Amending the revised statutes 5o a8 to provide that the issue of national bank notes shall not exceed in each case minety per cont of the value of United States bonds deposited. Mr. Wright's resolution thst after | the 15th the house begin its sessiona | at1la. m., wasadopted. The legislative appropriation bill was reported, ordered printed and recom- open negotiations with foreign govern- ments relative to the importation of tobaceo in their dominions was taken up snd pissed. The president was requested to open such negotiations with goveroments cf France, Spain, Australia, and Italy as he may deem it sdvsible with the view of the re- moval of yrestrictions on the importa- tion of tobacco into those countries for securing to our citizers an open mar- ket therein for the same. On motion of Mr. McGowan ths eenate bill_authorizing the president to callgan international sanitary con- ference to meet in Washington, was passed. The housthen rasumed considera— tion of the the contested election case of Curtin vs. Yocum, from the 20th congressional district of Pennsylvania. Mr. Stevenscn, of Dlinois, address- ed the nouse in opposition to the re- port of the majority of the committee, and spoke in favor of the sitting mem- ber (Yooum.) Mr. Calkins, of Indiaus, advocated the minority report, and the retention of the sittiog member in his seat. Mr. Colerick, of Indiana, spoke in favor of the report. CHRONIC FIZZLERS, Hanlan and Courtney to Row a Dead Heat, and Riley to be No. 1. Spocial Dispateh to Tus Ban WasgInGroN, May 11—1 a. m.— Yesterday morning Hanlanand Riley, the oarsmen, were on the water, and tolook at both men_almost anybody would bo tempted, it Hanlan's pre- vious record were not known, to put his money on Riley. A letter has been recoived here from a gentleman in New York clossly identified with sporting matters, in which ho says that it is the general impression that if Courtney appears in the race that Riley will go in too, and that it will b 8 set-up thing; that the resalt will be Riley's coming in first, and a dead heat between Hanlan and Courtney. None of the preliminary arrangoments have been made for the race. ~Blakie will be here to-day or to morrow, when it is expected arrangements will be perfected. Judges will be taken from outside of Washington. It is thought Mr. Curtis, of The Spirit of the Times, will bo ons of the judges. A committeo of the Potomac Doatclab will receivo Courtney, who will arrive to-day. A dispatch re- eeivod here yesterday afternoon says Jourtney means business. RAILWAY SMASH-UP. Chicago Express Bounds from the Track, But Passengers Miraculously Escape. Sr. Jounsvicie, N. Y., May 11—1 a. m.—Another shockiog railroad dis- aster occurred immediately east of this station at 5:30 p. m , which, in all its details, was the most fortunate in the onnals of railroading. Again it transpires the result of care- lessness on the part of a branch tender who, instead of straightening the branch left it open trom track No. 2, tending to No. 1, and the _result was most disastrous, The Chicago ex- press, which left New Yorkat 10:30 a. m., tookto the brauch safely, but there being no other attention the train_passed over the branch and thundered along a distance of 400 feet, tearing up rails and ploughing the ground as it went. A postal car and one drawing-room coach were totally destroyed, while two othera were badly wrecked. The locomotive was Ianded upside down, a complete wreck, and Engineer Richard taken from the debris only slightly injured, while mail messenger was badly lacerated about the back and shoulders. A brakeman named Coppers had & leg mashed 80 as to necessitate its ampu- tation. None of the passengers were injured. Anclent Order of Hibernlans. Special Dispatch to The Bee. FOREIGN EVENTS.

Loxvox, May 11—1a. m.—A let- ter from Berlin to The Economist, upon the subject of the alleged ten- dency of the German government to forco a resumption of the doublo standard, says not .he slightest credit is due to such rumors. The leading financial authorities of all shades of opinion are united in the belief that it is impossible for Germany to resume the double standard without the co- Prraperrnia, May 11—1a. m.— There will be about two hundred dele- gates in the annual convention of the Ancient Order of Hibernians of the United States, which begivs in this city to-day. They will represent the principal cities of the United States and the Dominion of Canada. The ‘business of to-day will principally re- late to credentials of delegates, ap- ointment of committees and probab— y the presentation of reports, in which a detailed statement will be made of the condition of the order in each state. AN ARCHBISHOP'S ATTITUD) The action oi *Archbishop*Wood in refusing to allow high mass to be sung for the convention will most likely be a subject of discussion during the ses- sion. Some time since the archbishop issued a circular to the clergy and people censuring and condemning se- cret orzanizations as dangerous to civil society and injurious to religious interests, and although a committee of the national body of the order waited upou the archbishop in regard to hay- ing » mass sung for the convention, he ered to his previous determination.

MISERABLE MATHEMATIC A dispatch from Cabul says: News that an error of £3,000,000 had been discovered in_tho Indian budget caused profound excitement through- out the country. It is generally felt that the defense of the blunder has broken down most lamentably, and that gross miscalculation as to war ex- penses has foreuer ruined Sir John Stracher’s reputation as a financier. GLADSTONE'S GRACEFUL APOLOGY. Bpocial Dispateh to The Bea. Loxvox, May 11, 1 a. m.—Last week Mr. Gladstone wrote Count Ka- royi, saying that when he_accepted the duty of forming a new administra- tion he resolved that he would not, as "minitter, repeat, ordefend in argu- ment, any political language in regard to more than one foreign power which he had used individually in a position Dosition of great freedom and less sponsibility. He expresses regretsin imputing to the emperor of Austria language that he did not use. Gladstone states that he is not hostile towards Austria, and wishes the em- peror of Austria well in concentrating the empire, and cordially respects the efforts of the emperor and hopes that success will nobly mark his reign. Mr. Gladstone does not, however, conceal his grave apprehension that Austria plays a partn the Balkans hostile to the freedom of the emanci- pated populstion. His apprehensions arejfounded on secondary evidence, but not of hostile witnesses, which was the best at his command, but Count Karolyi having given assur- ances that Austria had no desire to puraue such a policy, and would only defend her rights acquired under the Berlin treaty. Mr. Gladstone says that if he had been in possession of this assurance before he would not have uttered the words which Count Karolyi describes as being painfal and wounding. In conclusion Mr. Gladstone expresses serious concern in baving made statements which he now make amends as public as his specch. FRANCE AND UNITED STATES SETTLE- MEXT.

Blaine Looms Up in Nebraska, ‘The Cook County Convention. Bpecial Dispatch toThe Bas. Crcaco, May 10—4 p. m.—The greatest interest was manifested in the Cook county convention, which as- sembled this morning in the presence of a very large audience. The chair- man of the Cook county republican committee (a Grant man) called the convention to order. The anti-Grant men elected their chairman amid the greatest confusion, the Blaice men rofusing to listen to the chairman and escorting thoir chairman to the platform, who imme- diately appointed the committes on credentials. Grant delegates rose up in various parts of the ball and shout- ed out their protests. The Grant chairman, who still remained on the platform, declared the convention ad- journed to another hall and THE GRANT DELEGATES LEFT THE FALL amid th wildest corfusion. A committe of three from each senatorial district were appointed to elect delogates to the staie conven- tion. the convention Washburne had 903 delegates, Blaine 534, and Grant 1. The roll call showed that in A motion was carried that the com- mittee on credentials report as dele- gates to the state convention fifty- eight Blaine men.

They will hold con- ventions by senatorial districts, and elect delegates, which they claim will be recognized at Springfield. They claim that they aro following the call of the convention to the lotter. , BLACK JACK IS COOL. Your correspondent saw Logan, who wasvery cool and determined, and ex- pressed the determination to make no compromise. Before the convention assembled this,Maorning, two men prominent in the Grant movement, made & proposition to Charley Far- well that if Grant were given a pro rata shero of the delegates the con- vention would be allowed to proceed peaceably. The proposition was of course not entortained. It is feared in consequence of to-day’s action that there will be a serious break in the ropublican rauks of this state,and that there will ko two state conventions. Regular Convention Clozes. Special Dispatch to The Bee. Cuicado, May 10—10 p. m.—At 2:15 o'clock the committes on th se- lection of delegates returned aud re- ported delegates by senatorial dis- tricts, and the report was unanimous- ly adopted. A motion was carried that each senatorial delegation elect a chairman and secratary. Mr. Taylor and Chairman Anthony spoke of the alleged illegal manner in which the Grant men had trled to cap- tare the convention. The chairman was given a vote of thanks for his firmness in keeping the floor againstthe enemy, and at 3 o'clock the convention adjourned. GRANT MEN IN COUNCIL. The Grant convention was called to order in the club room of the Palmer House by Chairman_Singer, of the county committee, who said that they bad been driven from the_place where the notice originally required the con- vention to be held, and he hoped they would transact their business quietly and go home. Leonard Swott then remarked: “Evidently this year Yazoo river runs uphill. [Laughter and applause]. Tt has come into town with ' the ring in, bringing its b " and miro- and left nothing _behind but shot -gun policy.. Wead to leava, the conven- tion on account of riot, and whatever w do, we ought to do regularly and quietly like a eet of republicans.” derman Amos J. Throop was madetemporary chairman. He pro- posed to stick by the republican party as long as there was a_decent man in it; but he didn’t like the crowd over there at Farwell Holl. [Laughter.] W. R. Pago was made temporary secretary. Mr. Burke moved that wards be called and delegates take their places. After the delegations had been seated a committec on_credentials was sp- pointed sod during their absence short speeches were delivered by Hon. Jobn Wentworth, Stephen A. Doug- 1as, Leonard Swett and others. Mr. Wentworth took it for granted that this was the republican_convention of the republicans of Cook county, and argued that they should claim_every- thing, and let the convention at Springfield, composed of farmers and independent business men of the state, decide what should be dome with Cook county. Mr. Swett characterized the con- vention of the Blaine-Washburne men asariot. The title of the Grant men, hesaid, was based upon the law and custom of the plrz' but_he didn't think the ohc’h;n had any claim to rec- ognition whatever. urged uj those present to send a full deleg.g:: to Spri and leave it with the peopleas to which convention should friends of Blaine undertake to gag the sentiments of the people, they make A mistake as they will find out at ringfield. When the friends of ashburoe undertake to injure Gen. Grant they hurt the little prospect | Lara their candidats ever had.” Wohn Lyle King said the sgirit aroused by the moeting at Farwell Hall would spread through the city and state and create a feeling against the originators of the outrage that would work sgainst them at Spring- field. J. H. Clough. 8. L. Bond and others spoke briefly. Emory A. Storrs was called. He said that ho was not surprised at the chronic political return of the political renegade-bolter of 1872 and prior and intermediate years. This political dyspeptic republican; (Hersing) a hysterical man who was with us in sunshine and under a_band wagon in the storm, had decided that thousands of republicans of Cook county should be disfranchised. Republicans have been bullied and threatened for the last threo months. They might be threatened, but they would be bullied no longer. He said the regular county republican convention had been driven from the quarters assigned. At the gathering at Farewell Hall 1a amob at the present moment is d's- puting as to its leadership with po- lcemen 8s umpires. [Laughter.] The time has not yet come when any disorganized and unorganized mob can affixa stain upon the escutcheon of Tllinois so deep and ineffaceable as to jure the man who is the foremost zen of the world, who is also our citizen. The committee on_credentials re- ported the list of delegates, and the temporary organization was then made permanent, after which binety-two I"delegates to the state convention were selected by senatorial districts, being the full quota of the county. The following committes on an ad- dress wes chosen: H. M. Singer, Robert I Liucoln, Leonard Swett, A. G. Throop, Stephen A. Donglas, ¢ N. Wilcox, August Meyer, R. S. Tu hill, M. Micbellis and E. A. Storrs. Hon. John Wentworth made a speech, in which he declared that there should be no partiality for Hess- ing or his companions.

Last night I arrived here from the Cummins City mining camp. It is a lively camp of 300, and has located more than one hundred mines, sixty-five being recorded. Men are coming in by the score-every day,anda very lIarge portion of them remain.

These mines aro also known as the Big Laramie mines. To the south, just across the Colorado_line, are the North Park mines, the principal camp there being “Jack Creek.” To the northwest are the Douglas Creek mines; and west of these are the mines of the Snowy Range, known as tho LaPlatte District. A city is being built in the Bramel district, on the west side of Big Lara- mie, called Cummins City. At pres- ent it consists of 8 recorder’s office, two hotels, a store, saloon and about fifty canvas tents. All are busily en- gaged. In the morning they scatter over the hills in groups of from two tosix, and return in the evening with specimens of new finds, ready to tel- the results of the days prospecting. A number of these mines were visited by myself, in compsny with miners from abroad, under the escort of Louis Miller, of Laramie. West of Cummins City one mile, we visited a number of mines owned by Louis Miller and A. S. Blackburn; of some I will make brief mention.

Sherman’s Strangth. Special Dispatch to Tus Bux. Wisuixetoy, May 10, 4 p. m.— Blaine men are worried over the fact that McManus, of Philadelphia, leader of the Pennsylvania bolt among delegates to Chicago, declined to work for Blaine when here last wook. This, when taken in connection with the public statement that McManas is for Sherman, has raised the question whether Blaine will get all the dele- gates he has been counting from Pennsylvania when the bolt, his frionds, have been helping on takes place. It is known here-that there are | I, a very respectable number of delegates bothin theNew Yorkand Pennsylvania delegations who will vote for Sherman if the proper occasion is offered them. The strength of the Secretary did not appear in either of the states since ho did not desire to make s fight against elther “Cameron or Conkling in their own state. For this rosson it is thought he will be much stronger than Blaine with the Grant men of these states, as well as in Tilinols, in cese Grant is not nominated. LARAMIE. The Thriving Second City of Wyoming. The Railroad Rolling Mills and Other Industrial Institutions. A Detailed Account of the Bx- tent and Value of the Mines. Correepondence of Tin Brw Larawte, W. T., May 6.—Laramie, the beautiful queen of territorial cities, is situated on an almost worth- less plain—an expanse of gravel drift, intersected by several streams and al- most surrounded by mountains. Along the streams lio fine meadows, and ranches have been located, fencing in the douirse of Big Laramie froni its es- cape_from between mountain cliffs, nearly te its mouth. Laramie has 4,000 population, and is second insize in the territory. ~The buildings are mostly of brick and stone, and are two stories in height. The streets are planted with shade trees and furnished with water from large springs three miles east near the foot of the Rocky Rangs. The water is conducted hither throwghiron aque- ducts and distributed over the city. Fire plugs are numerous along the ‘main streets, and a stream of clear wa- ter sparkles onits way down all the gut- ters in summer time. Ft. Saunders is located about twe miles distant, and men clad in martial dress are seen everywhere, on the street, In hotels, churches and stores. The U. P. have shops at this place, ‘where a large number of men are em- ployed. All kinds of work can be done here; but only refitting and re- ‘building is required. The rolling mills of the U. P. road are also located here, and employ a large force of hands. The territorial penitentiary is also located at Laramie. Laramie has for many years been a point from which many prospectors for rich minerals radiate, but the re- cent discoveries i the Jelm moun- Dan Munn denounced the attempt in_ the Farewell Hall convention to down free speech, ‘‘When tain section step to the front and set the land aflame with excitement.

Most of the mines opened are rich in gold, and some contain an bund- ance of silver. These mountaftis no- where exceed 9000 feet, and tha snow has all gone except in the gulckes.
