Nkw Yhhk, .lan. 12. Referring to the question of the dissolution of parliament about Easter, the Post's ondon corres pondent says he is convinced it has passed lrom the region of jiohtieal forecast to that of practical certainty. The govern ment is simply crumbling to its fall. In three months Lord (Salisbury has lost three of his ablest ministers, Carnarvon, Churchill mid lddlcsleigh. The unionist alliance is cracking all around. A con siderable caste of the young torv mem liers are ready to support Churchill. There will he great discord in the cabinet on the coming local government hill which was supposed to lie an immense conservative huccchh. The difference of opinion is ho great that influential con servatives inside and outside the govern ment are urging Salisbury not to attempt to introduce the measure. Although its introduction meant the instant and com pleU; collapse of the party, yet it is dilli cult to see how he can avoid doing so. The enforced retirement of Lord lddlcsleigh was a niece of sharp practice on Salis bury's part. When coalition became necessary all the ministers sent in their resignations formally, in order to leave Salisbury free handed. Nuturally among them whh Iddlesleigh.whu never dreamed that lie would be the one chosen for the massacre. Siilisburv iumiK'd at the op- liortunitv and accented the resignation by return post. Churchill is in high Bpirits. lie said yesterday privately that everything was going us well as possible for him. A MeilllR'r Abandoned. Ni.w Yokk . Jan. III.

Farwell was nominated by the n pul bean caucus this alternoun, to suceeei General Logan in the Cnited States sen ate. The democratic caucus was called to order at 7: III) this evening, by Senator Shutt, of Sangamon. An informal hall for a candidate for F.

Oil the third ballot Mor rison received 41!. and Stephenson :'J LMviiiL' the nomination to Morrison. It was then made unanimous. The AliHorliinic Topic. Wamiinuton, Jan. Li. The absorbing topic to-night in the hotels, clubs, and on the streets, is what action the senate will probably take to-morrow on the inter state commerce bill. The interest has been increasing duilv as the debute pro grossed, till now it is ull-ubsorbing. The teleirranh offices are kept busy forward inir and receiving messages relating to the bill. Clubs, labor unions, and rail road ollieiiils in other cities are hourly informed by agents here of any change in the outlook. The number of senators who dread to face the issue is said not to be small. Win- TlniUKlit Ilievilahlc. Nkw Yokk, Jan. III. The Star' fun don cablegram says : P.ismurck's speech bus created a general uneasiness on the continental bourses. It is accepted as a convincing proof that (ieriuany regards war as inevitable und is resolved to be the first in readiness for the field. It is a challenge to France to assume the of fensive as soon as she likes. The tone of the German press is proof of the increas- ing Btruined relations. The French press generally treats the speech as a warning to tie prepared for a durman invasion without an hour's delay. In French military circles the feeling is general that the French preparations are not otnplote hut that France will take the field before Uermany. Cluverlui Handed lit l.aMt. Richmond, Vikginia, Jan. 14. ThomaB J. Cluverius was bunged in this city at 1 m. to-day, for the murder of Fannie Madison March 14th last. He made no confession.

With reference to the adoption by the senate of the con ference report, on the interstate com merce bill, the question will naturally arise, what do these Oregon senators, who have privately consulted with their brother senutorH on this bill, uii'l have in a measure participated in the discussion arising thereon, think will he the effect of the measure, should it become a law, on the transportation of the northwest? The only answer is, they do not know. They are, however, in precisely the same situation as every other senator in con gress. Not one of them lias lieen able to say to a certainty what will he the ulti mate cllect of tlie bill ; but, ot course, the majority holds that, as a whole, it w ill have beneficial results. Iolph voted nay on a motion to recom mit to the conference committee, fearing a recommittal would have the effect to prevent any law being enacted this ses sion. He voted for the bill, although he questions if in practice the clause relat ing to long and short liauls will not lie detrimental, if not actually disastrous, to much of the trade ot the northwest, ana he also questions if it will give that re lief to interior towns which they have looked for. Mitchell states that he voted "aye" on the motion to recommit, as he thought another conference committee would be able to eliminate some of the objection able features of the bill and to incorpo rate others which would be beneficial. He. too, fears that the bill will not give relief to the interior northwest that it is exiiected to do. One Aoo, Jan. 15. August Spies, the loader of the condemned anarchists, will marry Miss Van Zandt, daughter of a wealthy chemist, in jail on Tuesday. Snies was to have been hanged on De- eeinber 2nd, with the rest of the convict ed bomb-throwers, but his case is now on uppcal. A Prairie Fire. Tavi.oh, Texas, Jan. 15. A prairie fire has been raging near this city. Five thousand sheep and an immense amount if pasture and fencing have been des- t roved. A NKW TliKATV. China C onclude that Her People w ill not Assimilate with On. Washington, Jan. 1(1. Secretary Bay ard has completed and will send to the senate, it is said, early next week, a draft of the treaty with China, which it is hoped will meet all the difficulties of the Chinese-immigration quest ion. I he treaty is the result ol lung and frequent confer ences with the Chinese minister, who has heen ill constant cable communication with his government. Briefly, the treaty provides that the importation of Chinese coolies into this country shall be stopped by means and precautions to be adopted by both governments, with equal care. The treaty is reciprocal, and no American laborers are to be allow ed to enter China. American merchants and missionaries are to be fully protected and to be given every advantage and facility China can furnish. Several other concessions of minor importance are also made. The Chinese minister declares that his gov ernment has come to recognize the fact that his countrymen will never adapt themselves to this country and will never assimilate with Americans. Such being the case, nothing but barm to both coun tries can result from their constant influx here, and the treaty U made on the part of China with the utmost frankness. Some curiosity is expressed iiiiiong Pacific slope people here as to whefher the treaty has been so intelligently drawn as to meet the ready evasions which Chinese have handily 'invented, and to prevent the trade in certificates which numbers of Chinamen are carrying on between San Francisco and China, by means of per jury, etc. tiKN. IIAZKN'S DKATH. The t hief of the Government Signal Ser vice Dies Suddenly. Washington, Jan. 10. lien. W. B. lla.en, chief signal officer of the United States army, died in this city at 8 o'clock this evening. He had been ill since Thursday, but no danger was apprehend ed until this afternoon. The cause of his death was diabetes, from which he had suffered for some years ; hut, of late, he had improved in health and strength, and hones were entertained of his com plete recovery. The luti'lslnle 'Hliimeree Sill. Niu Yokk, X. Y., Jan. 111. The World says: The passage of the inter state commerce hill is a triumph of the people over-corporations, pool makers, and stock gamblers. The hill itself may not be either perfect or adequate in all its details. Undoubtedly it is not, hut there is sufficient discretion given to the government's agents and enough adjusta bility in the provisions of the bill to in sure against any great injustice or barm to the railroads. The important thing was to assert the power of the people over the corporations that they nave created for their service, but which have proved in too many instances instruments of op pression and extortion. The bill does this. It proclaims that the master has not yet abdicated to the servant. Tkoy, N. Y., Jan. 17. Three persons were killed by fuel gas in this city to-day. They were found sitting as though they had been conversing when the gas over came them. The Dominion Parliament Dissolved. Ottowa, Jan. 17. The Dominion par liament has dissolved. The new elec tions have been ordered for February 22. THE FOOLISH GIRL. Miss YawZandt, to Marry Anarchist .Splen, Disowned and Disinherited. Pittsburg, Jan. 17. L'pon the receipt of associated press . dispatches from Chi cago Buying Mrs. John Arthur, the aunt of Miss Van Zandt, had telegraphed from this city to marriage clerk Zegur, f -rbid-ding him to issue a license for the mar riage of the young lady to Spies, the an archist, a Commercial reporter called upon the lady at her residence, in Oak land, to ascertain the feeling of Miss Yan Zandt's friends in regard to her conduct Mrs. Arthur seemed heart-broken. To the reporter she said : "1 spent nearly the entire Sabbath on mv kneeB, in pray er for the infatuated girl, and when I otiened the paper this morning, and saw that Mr. Eugene Zegur, the Chicago marriage license clerk, had refused to issue a license, so she could not marry, I thanked God for what seemed a direct answer to mv prayer, and the next tiling 1 did was to send a telegram to Mr. Zegur thanking him for his manliness and cour age in darine to refuse the license. The first intimation which her relatives had of the existing state of affairs was the announcement in the pajiers Saturday morninu last." The shock to Mrs. Arthur and to her distinguished father and mother can be readilv imagined, especially as Miss Yan Zandt's mother, who is the only sister of Mrs. Arthur, had been visiting lier pa rents and sister just two weeks previous, and, with the exception of jocularly re marking that Nina expected to rnarry some nice young man in the spring, had made nothing known, and had not given them the slightest hint in the true direc tion. On reading the news, so great was the prostration of Mrs. Arthur s lat tier, Mr. Win. 11. Clark, that Mrs. Arthur was obliged to write to Yan Zandt a message he wished to send. The letter was mailed by 10 o'clock Saturday morning imploring them to prevent the wedding This was closely followed by another, and the Yan Zandt family were informed that henceforth thev were not to be con sidered in tlte light of relations ; every connection sociailv and financially was dissolved forever, "and Miss Nina utterly disinherited. told Weather. St. 1'ai i., Jan. 18. The people of this section are suffering from excessively cold weather. The thermometer stands thirty-six degrees below zero in this city The Western I'liiou's Powerful Kival. New Yokk, Jan. 18. The Post's Mon treal special says: F.rastus Winian president of the (heat Northwestern tel egranh eotnimnv, has issued a manifesto to the shareholders of the Montreal Tel egrapli company, announcing that the moni'v for the dividend due on Jan. I has been forwarded from New York, but stat ing that the Western l nion company will not guarantee lurther dividends un til untie arrangements are made by winch the company s rights can lie pro tected from its powerful rival, the Can adian 1'acilic. lie savs the Canadian Pacific is destroying existing telegraph interests and rendering them unprofita ble ; that it has no limitation on the ex tent of expenditures, and that the (heat Northwestern company 'is not powerful enough to tight it single-handed. The Poi'i laud Custom House. Wasiiino ion. Jan. is. It will not casion great surprise here if within a tew davs the president sends to the senate the name of a man to succeed F. N hurtled for collector of customs at Port. land. There may or may not Vie special significance in me laci unit less than week ago Mr. Cleveland sent to the treas ury department for a list ot all the api cants, their indorsements and all acconi unliving papers. These are now in his hands. It is not his custom to send for such documents cniess he means busi ness, yet there has been now and then a case where he has done this without im mediate action being the result. 1'Komini:nt aiti.icants. An official near the president being asked if when application papers are re quested one is warranted in drawing an inference that a new appointment will soon be made, replied with a significant shrug of the shoulders anil ironic empha sis : "Sometimes that is the result." Among prominent applicants for this po sition are llyman Abrums, Frank T. Dodge, and Al. Zeilier. If the strength and number of recommendations will de cide Mr. Cleveland in the chohe of an appointee, Abrums will be the fortunate man. It is said there have been few, if any, names ever presented from Oregon that had as influential endorsements as has his. I lodge, who left here for New York on the 12th, thence for the west, is largely building on influence from rela tives and friends in this city to give him the position. PACIFIC COAST.

Steeves, on trial before Judge Shat tuck for conduct unbecoming a lawyer and a gentleman, is on trial, the defend ant trying to shew cause why he should not he disbarred.

Residents on Post street, between Larkin and Polk streets, were startled between 7 and 8 o'clock this evening by the sound of a tremendous explosion, and by the shat tering of glass about their ears. A dyna mite cartridge had been placed on the track of the Larkin street branch line of the Sutter street cable road, and had ex ploded under dummy No. 34. The dum my was completely wrecked, ana me windows of the car and of the houses in the vicinity were demolished. Mr. Hil- derbrandt, his wife and brother, were sitting on the dummy on the side where the explosion took place and they were all thrown into the street. Mrs. Hilder- brandt, it is feared, is seriously injured She was ta!en into a neighboring house and medical assistance summoned. Later in the evening she was conveved toiler home. It was a miracle that there were no others injured, as several persons were on the dummy. sTiu, anotiii;u. People in the vicinity rushed to the scene of the disaster, and soon, a large crowd congregated. Oilicer Conboy, who was on the dummy, describing bis sensa tions said that the explosion had the el- feet of momentarily stunning him, and it was fully half an hour before he recov ered bis hearing. The excitement caused by this explosion was intensified when it became known that another explosion had taken place on the Sutter street cable road near Dupont street, about nine o'clock. The explosive, which is believed to have heen a giant iowder cartridge, was ex ploded by the dummy wheels running over it. The dummy was disabled and had to lie taken to the carbouse for re pairs, ft was quickly replaced by a new one and the road continued to operate its cars as usual during the remainder of the night. No one was injured by the latter explosion, as the charge in the cartridge evidently was small. The authorities are entirely at a loss as to (he authors of these outrages and have as yet not ob tained the slightest clue to the perpetra tors ot any of these frequent attempts at the destruction of life and property on the Geary and Sutter street cable roads.

The position of chief signal officer carries with it the rank and pay of brigadier-gen eral. Gen. llazen's successor will be appointed by the president, who may se lect whomsoever he pleases, without re gard to rank. Capt. Greely, the Arctic explorer, is believed to be better fitted by training and experience tor the place than any other officer of the army. He is at present acting in Gen. Hazen'B stead.

Defeat Naf the army bill by 29 majority, and the dissolution, of the reiclistag were not the end but the be ginning of a new struggle between the two opposing forces, bound up in the Ger man constitution. Good judges think it is doubtful whether the government can win the elections, but a gain of fifteen members would give them a majority. Taxation grievances, socialism, particu larism, clericalism, and many other influ ences will be invoked against Bismarck, but the German people know Bismarck intends to have his own way in any measure which he deems vital to the em pire, and will dissolve the next reiclistag if it proves intractable, as ',he has dis solved this one. The talk about France seizing the occasion to attack Germany is idle. What France will do is to vote the larger credits which General Boulanger asks for the army. A Speck of War, London, Jan. 17. Dispatches from Constantinople state the fact that re-in- ' forcements have been sent from Constan tinople to Crete. An outbreak is feared on this historical island of the Mediterra nean against the Turkish authorities.

Stanley told a reporter to-day that the Emir Bey relief expedition will go by the way of Zanzibar ; that the enterprise would cost if 1UO.O0O, and that it would leave Zanzi bar composed of 1000 men. Of these eight would be English and the rest natives of Zanzibar. Stanley said he expected that news of the progress of the expedition would reach Europe by July. The Emperor Pained by the Defeat. Berlin, Jan. 17. Emperor William, in receiving the president of the Prussian landtag to-day, referred to the dissolu tfon of the reichBtag and the rejection of the army bill. "The rejection of this measure, so important for the preserva tion ol peace to liermany, ' the emperor said, "has deeply saddened me. After so many happy days have been vouch safed to me in my old age, and especial ly after completing eighty years of service in the army, the rejection of the bill im pressed me deeply and most painfully. It is impossible, from a military point of view, to regard the three years bill pro posed by the majority of the reichstag as sufficient. I hope the government meas ures will be passed in the near future." A la Hlblis. Paris, Jan. 18. The chief clerk of the postoflice of this city has stolen forty thousand dollars, and fled.

The sheriff and a force of police from Gwedone, while on the way to evict tenants at Bloody Fase land, county Donegal, to-day, found the road blockaded with immense granite boulders, and were obliged to proceed on foot. The blowing of horns and ringing of bells brought together a large crowd , of peasants, who threatened the police with violence. The police resisted, and were assaled with a shower of stones. A desperate tight ensued, in which five po lice were badly wounded. A priest who was present finally quieted the people, and they allowed the jwP.je to proceed. A tenant, named Gallagh.x was evicted, but for various reasons ',r-.e other tenants were left undisturbed. Meantime the people carried Gallagher back to his house, made a fire, and reinstated him. The priest then persuaded the people to allow the police to retire. While tho sheriff and his escort were on the way home masses of granite were rolled down the hillside, and the officers narrowly escaped injury. It is thought no further attempts will be made to enforce the writs. A l'auic, and Loks of Life. London, Jan. 18. To-night the He brew Dramatic Club gave an entertain ment at the theater, Princess street, Spit allields, which was attended by about nOO people, mostly Jews. Some one in the gallery, for a joke shouted "F"ire!" The gas was turned off, and a terrible panic followed. The people rushed in a solid mass for the doors. When the panic subsided it was found that twelve women and youths had been trampled to death, in the rush, and many others in jured. A Better Price for Wool. London, Jan. 18. Since the last sales a good demand for wool has lieen main tained, which is chiefly attributed to an improved French trade. Four thousand bales have heen sold at an advance of 5 to 10 ier cent, over the lowest prices of December. This, with the light stock in most markets, brightens the prospects i for the sales w hichj commence on Jan I uary 25 .
