WasHiNGToN, February 4.—There was a long discussion regarding the section of the post-ofice appropria- tion bill authorizing the postmaster general to expend a nually hereafter $26,000 for mail transfer over the St. Louis bridge. It is claimed that as ordinary raroad rates are paid through the Hoosac tunnel, the Balti- more tunnel under the Susquehanna, and other costly structures, there was no reason why extreme rates should be paid here. Mr. Robinson offered an amend ment requiring mails to be carried over the bridge on the fastest trains run over it without extra rates of compensation. Mr. Cameron offered an amendment in effect that hereafter when railroad companies refuse to transport mail on their fastest trains they shall be re- quired to do 8o, and their pay for such sorvices roduced one-half. Mr. tHolman oftered an amendment requiring all railroads which have re- ceived grants of land to carry mail at one-half price. Adjourned. CAPITAL NOTES. National Associated Press. COMMITTEE WORK.

The Present Mild Winter and Other Foreign Nows. Natlonal Associated Pross., St. PeTERsBURG, February 5. —The Navoe Vremya, in commenting upon the London and Manchester indigna- tion meetings in behalf of the Jews, denies the serious charges brought against the Russian authoritios, sol- diery and people, and sa; ““The Jews have evidently set themselves to not very diflicult task of excit- ing Knglish opinion against Russia. In this they may likely enough sue- ceed, but the service they render their co-religionists in Russia is at least questionable. The Jewish ques- tion lere is an internal one in the strictest sense of the word, and no in- terference from without can or will be allowed. Its solution is not be looked for in England, but depends above all on the extent to which the Jews them- selves are willing to abjuretheir pres- ent religious and social tendencies. The Karaim Jews have never aroused the popular hatred as ih ir brethren ot the Talmud, and if the present agita- tion in England shows that the latter will not abandon without a struggle the principle which leads them to ex- plioit every one who is not a Jew, all the worse for them. The Russian government cannot make coicessions to this principle without serious inju- ry to the well-being and_quiet of the empire.” The Karaim Jews, existing in' small numbers, chiefly in the Orimea, and, comparatively speaking, but lately brought under Russian rule, enjoy all the rights and priv- ileges of Russian subjects, as the central authorities took care to re- mind the people in a recent circular. Tt is true they live peaceably enough in Russia, and get on protty well with their neighbors, but the true conclu- sion to be drawn is nbvious, though it may not suit the Navoe Vremya. The st. Petersburg Journal to day, speaking with an air of authority, says that the settlement ot the Egyp- tiun question will shortly become 1mn- perative, and will probably be effected by the great powers interested, namely: Russia, England, Feance, Germany, Austria and Italy. The Journal goes on to 88 that in the event onynglnnd and France jointly, or either of them taking a position an- tagonistic to that assumed by the other great powers, the latter will in- sist upon their mode of procedure, even at the risk of exciting the en- mity of the other two. The extraordinary warmth of this winter season in St. Petersburg and district is calling serious attention te the probable increase of epidemic dis- eases during the next few months, as the usual cold dry weather of winter is immense importance here in con- tracting the unhealthy situation and the conditions of the locality. While there is no winter to speak of in St. Petersburg, the Trans-Caspian, where the winter is usually very mild, is this season visited by severe cold and BNOW. tha springs has been stopped by it, and it is feared that the new Trans- Caspian railway will have its direct communication with the sea cut? off by the freezing of the Nichols, Peasants have murdered six per- sons belonging to a Jowish family in the towy of Proujau, in the province of Grodna., They also outraged the women.

National Associated Pross. Ricnvosn, Va, January 4,—No news of a hopeful nature has been re- ceived from the mine horror in Ches- terfield, Tt has sa far been found im- possible to reach the pointin the mine where the explosion occurred, but Superintendent Dodds, with a willing force of miners, is exerting every pos- sible effort to make an entrance into the hill. This, howevor, is feared to be a difticult task, as all the machin- ory in the shaft was demolished by the explosion and but very little can be done in the way of reaching the unfortunate victims until some of the apparatus, particularly that used for furnishing fresh air, is replaced. Not even tho most sanguine indulge the hope that any of the men will be res- cued alive, as these, if there were any, who survived the shock must neces- sarily be suffocated or burned to death, or evenif escaping they must starve bofore assistancoe can reach them. Many of the victims of the frightful disaster were married and they leave m some instances large families un- provided for. Up to b o'clock this evening all at- tompts to get into Grover shaft of the Midlothian coal pits either to rescue any of the living thirty-two wmen en- tombed there yesterday or ue the bodies of the dead, of which latter atter there is doubt, have been thwarted by tho noxious and deadly guses. The appliances for descending wito the first vertical shaft, 600 feet deep, were not destroyed, but when the explosion oceurred yesterday it caused displacement of a great many of the interior supports of the mine, besidos cutting off ventilation and blocking up the causeways leading to the mines. Tt is now ascertained that twelve of the unfortunate miners were white and twenty colored; twonty-six of them had families. Knowing from experience the dangerous character of such explosions as occurred Yyesterday the relatives of the buried men have resigned all hope of seeing them alive again. All of them resided in the im- mediate vicinity of the shaft. Oneof the unfortunates was a son of the man when Barry stabbod Mixtell three times, inflicting dangerous wounds.
