SOUTHERN OUTRAGE INQUIRIES. Regular Press Dispatchos, WasniNgToN, March 9.—The house and senate conference on the resolution appropriating $10,000 for the Danville and Copiah county investigations held their first meeting to-day. . After a lengthy discussion they were unablo to agree. The senate members’ conference refused to restrict the character or scope of the investigation. RESTRICTING OFFICIAL TERMS. The bill to repeal the sections of the rovised statutes restricting the term of certain officers to four years was favora- bly received Saturday from the commit- tee on the reform of the civil service. It applies the term offices to the district at- zorney, chixf justive and assuciute justice of the territories, surveyors general, registers and receivers, collectors of cus- toms, naval officers, surveyors of customs and postinasters. THE TWO-CENT POSTAGE. Since the introduction of the two-cent letter postage there has been an unex- pected reduction in the number of postal cards used. For five years the annual increase has been 14 per cent; during the eight months since July 1st the sale of stamps was mncreased 18 per cent, and of stamped envelopes 25 per cent, while the issue of postal cards was only 256,000,000 against 260,000,000 for a corresponding period last year. The postmaster gen- eral therefore estimates a 1eduction of $35,000 in the cost of manufacturing postal cards the next fiscal year. MORRISON'S TARIFF BILL, In the house to-morrow Morrison ex- pects to report from the ways and means committee his tarifl hill as agreed to by a majority. THE TRADE DOLLAR, The measure for the retirement and re- coinage of the trade dollar has been made the special order for Tuesday. PACIFIC ROADS, The committee on the Pacific railroads has leave to call up Weduesday any bill which it has perfected. FREEING COMMERCE, The bill to remove cerrain burdens from American merchant marine and en- courage the foreign carrying trade has been made a special order for Thursday. All the sp-cial orders, however, are liable to0 be put aside for the consideration of the regular appropriation bills, L IN THE RENATE, the Fitz John Porter bill and the bill to aid in the establishment and temporary support, of the common sshools ure both spocial orders for Wedne:day. —The tirst named measure will encounter strong opposition from Senator Logan and other republican senators, but the prevalent impression is that it will pass. The edu- cational bill will give rise to considerable discussion, It is possible that one or more special orders will be set aside, giv- Secretary Fulger will probably support the measure when it ocmes squarely before the house. The house then went into committee of the whole, with Blount (dem., (1) in the chair, on the postoftice appropriation bill. Mr. Townshend (dem., Tll.) explained the provisions of the bill. Mr. Horr (rop., Mich.) said there would undoubtedly be a deficiency of $2,600,000 if the bill passed in its pres- ent shape, and the only oftset the cum- mitteo provided was the cutting down of $10,000 in the salaries of posmasters in nine cities. Ho wunppmml to this pro- vision. Mr. Howey (rep.,N. J.) invited special atte ntion to the provision for the reduc- tion of compensation to railroads, He thought that, though it was unwise, he made no special objection to 1t. his oppo- sition being directed to the clause author- ng the payment of only 50 per cent of that compensation to the land grant roads. This did not apply to the Union Pacific system, and it was doubtful _if it appled to the Northern Pacific. It af- fected fifty little roads scattered through- out the country, only ten of which were on a paying basis. It was unjust and unbecoming the dignity of a great nation to deal with these roads other than as one individuai would deal with another. Mr. Sumner (dem., Cal.) advocated the establisting of a postal telegraph, as- serting its constitutionalityand maintain- ing the advisability of such & step. He declnred that if there had boen a postal telepraph in 1876, Samuel J. Tilden would have taken possession of tho posi- tion to which he had been elected then, and which it was likely he would be elected to again in 1884, The committee, without further action, rose. Mr. Hunt (dem., La ) offered a resolu- tion calling upon the secrotary of war for mformation as to whether ho had made or published any 1ules and regulationy relating to the control of navigation of the South pass of the Mississippi river, or auy other public waters of the atate of Louisiana, and if so, by what authority. Adopted. Adjourned. THE STAR I*LDU"I"E STENCH, GIBSON STIRRING IT UP, WasHiNGTON, March 8.—A. M. Gib- son was examined by the Springer com- mittee to-day relative to his connection with the star route investigation. Hesaid he had received 85,000 for his services as counsel, and that 1t was small compen sation in comparison to that paid to other parties. Gibson said he began special duty for the postoflicedepartment in1882, and became familiar with the business deparument, especially in relation to awarding mail contracts. The witness described _in detail his meeting with ex- Senator Spencer in Washington, on which occasion the latter asked his assist ance 1n the proposed star route investi- gation. Ho spoke at length of his visit to Woodward and of the table of the nine- ty-three star expeditedroute. *‘That table was then SHOWN TO GARFIELD, and he expressed surprise,” Gibson said. ““That was a little remarkable, because I had a distinet recollection of showing him the same table in 1830, before the election, and while he was a member of the house.” Witness gave a brief ac- count of his wstructing inspectors to make an investigation of certain routes, “tn the meantime,” he continued, ‘‘the attorney general sent for me and said that Dorsey had made a statement of his connection with coutracts which had been shown to the president and secretary of the treasury, and that the statement was aole and ingenious and had made an im- pression favorable to Dorsey. The attor- ney general asked me to make a report on the star route cases, which I did then and left for New York. While there I was telegraphed to come to Washington, and, downg so, found my report had RAISED QUITE A TEMPEST, the political effoct of which was that the departwent of justice was arrayed on the side of the accused persons.” **Do I understand you to say that the depart- ment of justice was arrayed on the side of the accused?” nsked Stewart. *‘The ofticers of the department of justice caused tiie publication to be made n the newspapers that I had no connection with the department, the effect of which was to lead the public to suppose that the department wa. on the side of the ac- cused,” Withess testitied that in pros- ecuting the star-route men the govern- wment took the most complicated case, when it was its business to tuke the i plest and plawest case.” Ountiuuing, Gibson said AFIER BREWSTER was made atturney general, he said that the duties of his offize were 80 engrossing that he could not give time to cases of this kind. He had been in the case be- fore simply to make argument as to the legality of filing an information. That is OMAHA, NEB.

Cnrcaco, March 9.--The situation among the northwestern lines has littlo of encouragoment for the lovers of peace and calm. A survey after the excito- ment attending Friday's meeting has in a measure died away but adds to the blackness of the prospect. There is little or no prospect that the managers can be got together before next Saturday, and if something is not done prior to that time everybody will be freed from all restraint to maintain rates. The Northwestern Traflic association will on that day begin its final rost, and the war which must ensue, if no association is formed to take its place, will begin. President Cable left yosterday for Colorado with the avowed purpose of remaining away until March 17th, two days after his notice of withdrawal oxpires. General Managor Hughitt will return on the 15th, but will leave at once for New York, where ho will remain about six days. Without the prosence of these men in Chicage sometime before the 15th there can be 1o possibility of arresting the progress of the demoralization which threatens. It i not provable that the rates will be cut before the dissolution of the association, but unless the unexpected should hapven in the meantime, a lively engagement will begin at that time. A CANADIAN LAND GRAB, Cnicaco, March 9 —Amos Rowe, pro- prietor of the Winnipeg mines, is in the city on his way to Manitoba, after a so- journ of several weeks at the Dominion capital. He said, upon being questioned by u representative of the Associated Press in regard to the present agitation in Manitoba, and the demands made by the legislature of that province, that the Dominion government hud conceded the granting to a company for the construc- tion of the Winnipeg & Hudson Bay rail- way a subsidy of 2,800 acres por mile. The proposed line is about 600 miles long. The charter will be granted at thia seasion of parliament, and will provide for immediate construction. NEARER LIVERPOOL TH/ W YORK The government has also appropriated £150,000to provide for the survey of Hud- son’s straits. A steamer will soon start from New Foundland for that purpose, and a report on the practicability of that route as an outlet will soon be made. It is stated, the distance from Hudson bay coast to Liverpool is something less than from New York to Liverpool. THE ALTON'S CUT. CHicAa30, March 8. —In reply to a no- tice from the chairman of the St. Louis local passenger comuwittee, complaiuing that the Chicago & Alton was charging the samo passenger rate from St. Louis to New York via Chicago that eastern roads ont of St. Louis were quoting, and demanding that the Alton should increase 1ts rate $2.00. General Passenger Agent Charlton, of the latter road, has prepared an answer, in which he denies the juris- diction of the St. Louis passenger agents, He says: *‘We are not aware of any just ground on which any one of our compe- titors, or any combination of aay number of them, are entitled to ask higher rates than they charge.” The reply also de- clares willingness on the part of the Alton to Limit their tickets in any way necessary to avoid their misuse. The complaiut made against tne Alton grew out of an arrangemeut it has with the West Shore road for booking through passengers, THE MEXICAN CENTRAL, Torrka, Kas., Murch 8 —Private dis- atches received here to-night from Old oxico “state that at Fresmelo, in the heart of the Mexican plateau, the last spike of the Mexican Central was driveu DAY MOR M( NG, MARCIH 10, 1884, Saturday night at 8:10, due at Chicago the next night at 12:35, arrived seven minutes ahead of time.

Drs Morxes, lowa, March 8.—1In the house to-day Miller of Lee, rose toa queation of privilege as to an article in the morning Leader, reflecting on the in- tegrity of members of the house in accept- ing free telegraph franks from the West- ern Union Telegraph company. He acknowledged having received compli- mentary franks, but denied it had any in- fluence on his action as a member of the committes on federal rolations, in report- ing unfavorably on the memorial to con- wross asking for a postal telegeaph. His remarks croated considerable excitement, as Miller spoke in a very vehement man- ver. Bills wore passed relative to the term ot the warden of the pen- itontiary at Fort Madison; ta change the names of the villages of Lackawauns and Vespers to Lehigh and validate their ordinances; to authorizs boards of super- visors to purchase and maintain bridges over streams dividing their respective counties; dividing the second’judicial dis- trict into two circuits; to legalize the i corporation of the town of Nashu to logal zo the incorporation of the towns of Stratford and Williams; to logalize the acta of J.

Special Dispatch to Tae B, WasHINGTON, March 9.—The whisky men received a serivus set back in the house yesterday on the question of con- sideration, The house refused by a vote of 127 to 1156 to take up tho bill. A number ot republicans voted with the friends of the bill who would not have voted for the measure itself; one of them subsequently explained that the reason for their action to-day was a desire to get the matter into committee of the whole and strike out the enacting clause su as to have it out of the way.

Toreka, Kansas, March 9.—As yet the foot and mouth epedimic is confined to Woodson county, but it is one of the most easily communicated of all conta- gious cattle diseases, and may be trans- mitted by aogs or by human beings to the cattle. Dr. Holcomb ways, that cattle now affected may if they recover and are allowed to go up the range this summer affect other cattle. The disease made its appearance about throo weeks ago in eithe's herd, and as weather was EXTREMELY COLD, and no such stourge ever having ap- peared in this stato before, it was at first supposed that the feet had been frozen. ho first symptoms noticed were the jerking up of one leg hy the cattle and arching their backs as if cold, Thero can be no doubt but that the fatal poison which produced this disease was first communicated to this herd and after- wards to others in the neighborhood. Keithe's herd were all pative cattle, hav- ing been raised in that section. While suflsring with this disease the cattle all manifest good appetites, Of Keithe's cattle fully a duzen lost a foot or more. Lt is aaid that the disease interferes with the circulation of the blood to such an extent that the victims fall an easy prey to cold weather. THE CATTLE INTEREST of Kansas is a very considerable one. There are about 2,000,000 head owned 1n the state, with an assessed valuation of $50,000,000. During the pust year there has been an increase of about 200,000 head. The disease is liable to destroy millions of dollars’ worth of property, if not stamped out ut once. At tha present time it will require but about $10,000 or 815,000 to rid the stato of the plague, (;A!;"!l‘l’lul‘ Glick has not said he would ca IT GERMANY, ‘The queen goes to AN EXTRA SESSION of the legislature, but he is a stock grower himself and knows the importauce of stamping out the plague, ‘and will there- fore do all in his power in that direction.
