Grieff, storekeeper and gauger of the eighth district of Pennsylvanis. The total internal revenue receipts for the month to date are $9.788,- 182.10; for the year to_date, $107,. 356,731.82; the estimated receipts for the full locd year are $135,000,000, WASHINGTON, April 20—1 8. m—It 1 reported here to-night that the par- ties named in connmection with the star route irregularities are making up a statement of theirside of the con- troversy, in which they will charge that the mail cortracts were assee: last year to raiee money for the re- publicaps in Indiana, and that those wh tion against the star route contracts knew st the time how the money was to beraised. Tae object of adjourning the sen- ate over until Monday is to give the republican caucus committee an op- portunity to prepare their report. Tae committee of seven, whioh was appointed, is compoeed of scnstors representing all the interesta and el- ements of the republican party. It has been substantially ngreed to make the Uhinese treaties the subject of the first executive sessiol The sdministration is anxions that the treatics shall be disposed of at as early a date us possible, in order that the naval attache of the United States legation at Pekin, who is ncw ready to leave bere, msy carry with him the ratification or rejection of the treaties. In sddition to the desire of the administration of this subject grest pressure is belng brought to bear upon the senators by the people of the Pacifio cosst, who are urging some action on the treaties on the ground that the Chinese immi- gran‘s are pouring into California ports at a dally average of sbout one thousand. The caucus committee e: deavor to prevent any contested nom- ination from coming up in order to keep the repeblican side of the cham- ber barmonious during the dead-lock. Au «ffort will be made to podtpone the fight over the Robertson case un. til next December. The cemmittes will corsult with the president and aleo with the senators who are likely to raise objections to the nominations already sent in before making their report. - EILLING TIME. VALIANT SENATORIAL DEFENCE OF PEE VIOUS DEMOURATIC CUSSEDNESS Wa-nixarox, D. 0., April 201 & m —After several ineffectual dila- tory mocons Butler, of South Caro tin, took the floor, and defended bis state aganst the charge of treason aod revolutionary intentions. Senator Butler, referring to Frye's recent speech, deprecated the tscless- nesa of the question a8 to who was re- onsible for elavery in thc south 'he .ntest now was between a liber- ty loving people snd a bloated plu- tocracy who scught to suppress them. Ho cited cases of alleged election fraud, and amo: g other fnstances he referred to the New Hampshire post- waster who had been assessed for elestion expenses in Matne. Sanator Rollios interrupted in a de: and Benator Hale kept ‘asking for nsmes snd lo- intimating that he shculd re- { ply a8 soon as the senator had con- { cluded. . Senator Butler spoke until half-past two o'elock, concluding with an argu- ment against the idea that this coantry was the abso- lute government of msjorities, Senator Burnside made & speech, in which Fe denied that the senator from Sou'h Carolina had demon trated by irrefragible proof that there was a foul bargain in the renate, but stated that 1d not refer the senator to his | promise to resign his seat. | Senator Butler sald that if, on the | other hand, he had proved a bargain | he would hold the Senator from Rhode Tolaod to his promise to give up his commission. Senator Hale did not undertake to take care of his colleagne, who was abundantly able to take care of him- | self, but he desired to speak on the at- tack just mne npon the civilizationof the state of Maine. The senator had brought up againsi the state of Maine nothing more than could be found against any state or pecple under the heave.s. Hehad only been follow- ing out the democratic plan of digging up private letrers, etc, to show that other other states hnd had suspicions of the same corruption that existed in the south, The speaker denied that there had ever been any individual political outrages in his state, and as- | serted the honorable, frugal, patriotic | character of her people. He entered into a detailed denial of some of the outriges alleged by the senator from | South Carolins, and laid all the found- ation far such charges agatnst the peo- ple of Maine at the doer of the demo- crata and fusionists. F. llowing this speech came an in- effectual motion that the senate pro- oceed to the consideration of the ex- ecutive business. Then a resolution offered by Senator Mahone was passed, calling upon the attorney- general for a copy of the special re- port of Commissioner O. C. Lancas- ter to the United States marshal of the wentern district of Virginis. At 3:35 the senate adjourned until Chronicle has a spe- ¢ia! from Brownaville, Mo., aunoanc- ing the arrest of Johr A. Phelp for the marder of Elijsh Keyton, rich farmer near that place, Saturday evening last. Phelps was an employe of Koyton's. The evidence is strong against him. The Steamer Falmyra.

The particalars sre bricfly these: The hign_water which for two week has rashed the river, carried with it the bridge connecting the east portion of the city with the west side. As the public schools were on thewest side and the major portioh of ‘he idences on the opposite side this was & very serious loss s temporary mesns of transportation to the eity provided & common scow at a cost of $150. This scow was propelled by an orii- nary rope and until to dsy all 1+ had been made safely, but at 8:30 this morning while in mid stresm the scow with its precious load of school children capsized and sl but one were drowned. It is impossible thus early to learn the names of the drowned as the scholars weie constantly crossing and recrossing. The entire poptilation of the city now lhne the river banks, atid the ftantio grief and ny of parents canaot be described The one child saved succeeded in clinglng to the scow which drifted to- wards shore and was thus rescued. The carrent in the river is unusually rapid, and on this account the strug gling children were rapidly carried down the stream and perished. LATER REPORTS, Etory, April29.—1 a. m.—Late re- ports from the scene of the catss- trophe say that the ferry over Fox i ed o the middls of the stream while about thirty-thfae little children were on board, of whom twenty were saved. Several were reacued by boats which put out from either shore, The followlug are missine: Thoma: Murphy, marrled, aged 30; Georgs Taylor, age 16, son of James Taylor of 41 North strest; 1oy ego 10, son f Supus i sle of 33 State street. The sé>w was 15 by 16 feet, and was first ued yesterday 1t has been con- deraned by the pablic from the start Cn10460, April 29—1 a. m.—The Journal's Elgin special gives the fol- lowlog iccount of the ferry-boat ac- cident,yesterdsy forenoon: ~The boat was 8 mere scow, which had been pur- chased cheaply for the purpose of supplying the pressing wants of the passenger traffic across the Fx river, occasioned by the deetruction of the bridges by the recent flood. A cable was strotched across from bank to bank at Maln street, and the boat was propelled in the usual fashion, with the exception that the head line was made shorter than the other, so that the action of the ctirrent evitld sarr) the oraft. This was feund to worl well enough, but the trouble was that the boat was not big enough to sup ply the demand, and was found to be overloaded. It had capacity to carry with ssfe'y some twelve passengers, but those in charge were not over par ticular when the crowd was walting to be ferried across, and the llttle scow was loaded down with twice the nam- ber of people that cotld be transport- &d from shore to shore withoat peril. This was the tase yedtarday forenoon, atabeut the hour when the chiliren | were proceeding to school, and_busi- neds men were going to their labors from the east to the Weit side of the river, The boat was in mid stream when all of a etidden it digped to ome side and precipitdted every one into the rushing torrent, which at that peint is strong, even in ordinary times. There was a wild shriek of dismay from the men, wimsn, boys and gir] on boord the ill-fated craft, and n a few minutes the whole town was in s pauic of excitement. The streets were tilled in an_instant with people rashing wildly to the scene of the dis aster, and very soon the banks of the river were lincd with people strivirg vainly to render aid 1o the heipless sufferers who were struggling in the water. Men rushed from their shops and women ran screaming toward the stream, but the difficulty of reaching any pointalong the bank where aid could be given only served to increass the confusion, and the most that coold be done was to look om in dis- pair at the deplorable spec acle of thelr townsmen and children battling hopelessly amidst the raging waters of the swollen river. The most distressing sight of all was that of the children, who were rfectly helpless in the sitaation, ven men who bad learaed the art of swimming found the carrent irristable and were carried away fo watery deaths, before it was pessible to ren- der succor, while the young people were simply balpless as ‘straws. The first reports of the dissster naturally exi ggorated the number of passengers who were on board, and, as many par- ents had sent theit children to school over the ferry insterd of seading them around by the bridge near the watch factory as formerly, the utmost con- sternation reigned = throughrut the town. It was somewhat modified when it was discovered that not as many passengers as was at first posed had been seen to go on board. THE MISSING AND LOST. Those missing and known to have been on are, Thos. Marphy, Androw Daws:n, John Corbin, Gy Carlisle, Geo. Taylor, William Coleville, Elmer Foster and a little girl named Frarcis Creighton. J. A. Simonds, of New York, and J. 8. Lockwood, of Rock- ford, guests at the Waverly House, are missjog, aod as they intended orossing on the boat it is believed they are lost. The river Is being dragged, but no bodies have yet been fodnd.” A low estimate would place the drowned at twelve or fifleen. d A Noted Forger Batled. Cuicaco, April 28 —Tt is stated this morning that Jas. B. Doyle, the forger and counterfeiter arrested five months ago, with y half & million dollars in forged government bonds in his possession, has been liberated cn ball, giving a bond of $20,000, his soreties being Washington Lbby, of Libby, McNell and Libby, pork packers and capitalists of Bradford, IIl.
