Washington, March 26.—Among the bills introduced in the Senate to-day was one by Mr. Hoar, providing for inquests under national authority. Mr. Hoar said the bill was suggested by the reports of the recent occurrences at Carrollton, Miss. The Senate had had no information in regard to those occurrences, but news papers of both political parties seemed to agree about them. According to these re ports wanton and unprovoked crime had been committed, resulting In the death of a large number of citizens in wbicb all the victims were of one race, ami he presumed of one political par ty, und all the murderers of another, such occurrences unfortunately had been of frequent occurrence, but when investigated were apt to take a political turn. Persons defending; or apologizing for them said they had uo political significance.

ALL rX)OKHD SKRIOUB. Tho RngHuh rhlo*>t Not. B- Ikved to Hiv~ Matter*. London. March 26.— Premier Gladstone and the Ministers attended this after noon’s Cabinet meeting. The sessiou lasted an hour and a quarter. Messrs. Chamtierlain and Trevelyan left the meet ing together and had a private confer ence. All tbe Ministers looked serious, both before and after the meeting. GLADSTONE'S NEW PLAN. Mr. G adstone appeared in the House of Commons this afternoon. Referring to the announcement made in hi* behalf yesterday by Mr. Harcourt, Mr. Gladstone said that the statement he would make on April 8 would take tbe form of tbe intro dtiction of a Dill for a future government lor Ireland. This announcement produced a sensation. It is now believed that the Premier has. In deference to tbe opposi tion of hts own party, decided to abandon, temporarily at least, bis scheme tor buy ing out the landlords 01. Ireland, and to make home rule in some form the pure and simple basis ol his Irish proposals. SHELVING NOT NECESSARY. More careful study ot Mr. Gladstone's statement throws doubt on the belief that the introduction ol a home rule hill would necessarily shelve the land pur chase bill. Mi. Chamberlain to-night, said that tbe discussion in to-day’s cabinet, council had only Intensifiedltbe criss. It hail not, however, precipitated any resig nations. A final effort will probably be made during the coining week to effect a compromise between the Premier and the disputants in the Cabinet. A SETTLEMENT REPORTED The government’s supporters nave been privately assured that the government’s Irish programme has been settled by the Cabinet. A home rule measure will be introduced first and will be followed immediately by a land bill. Both meas ures, if passed by the House nf Commons, will he presented to the House of Lords together.

The Early Experience* of a Navigator on an Illinol* River. From lfi CMcauo -Yew*. Octave Laundry was the first man to launch a steamboat on the Fox river at Aurora. He had had no exnerienee either in building or managing steamboats, and, as may l*e inferred, the boat was not a glorious success either in point of beauty or for speed. However, it was a steam boat, and the first steamboat that bad ever been seen at Aurora, so it attracted much attention. Laundry had picked up a few technical phrases—had learned to call a rope a “line.'’ a chain a “cable,” an an chor an “ank,” a flagpole a “jackstatT,” etc.—anil, much to the amusement ot the passengers he got or his little pleasure excursions about the millpond, he insist ed on using these terms himself and on having his assistant ( Kero Budreau)use them, which both did with a decided French accent. One day tbo boat became unmanagea ble and began drifting toward the mill dam with what seemed to lie a fair pros pect of pitching head-long over it. Of course all was bustle and bustle on board, blit the passengers were calmness itself compared with the two excited French men. Laundry ran first to one end of the boat and then to the other, giving orders taster than ten mer, could have obeyed them. Finally, standing well astern where he could jump oft as a last resort, Laundry yelled to liudreau, who was at the bow: “Budreau, t'row over board ze ank.” “Av, ay, oapftii.” replied liudreau, “but, zer is no esfde on zeank.” "Never mind, liudreau, t’row him over anyteap; be will do some good,” )<o overboard went the anchor with nothing to attach It to the boat, and on went the boat all the faster, being light, etied of a tremendous load, for Laoudry hail bought a second band anchor In Chi cago and bad taken the biggest one he could get tor the money. Soon the pu serge: sand crew were convinced thut they must go over the dam unless they jumped overlioard. so one by one a lew of them leaped oft' and were surprised to Und the water only up to their waists. In a few seconds the boat rubbed on tbo bottom and caiue to n standstill. Then above tbo roar of tbe dam was heard Laundry’s voles as he stood iu the water to his middle, bold In.' to the rudder witu all hts might unit yelling: "liudi i u. MnwkMawtidfwad —n quick. I cuii't hoi’ ze boat much lortuf/cr.” “Lame, you and -a tool!” was liud roan’s disrespectful reply; •• zo wafer no Is six inch deep by ze bow.” Pure eunuch It was not.

Washington, March 26.— The syndi cate directly interested in maintaining tbe Hawaiian treaty are beyond doubt working industriously to that end,and it is said here that they are beginning to look sharply after their interests in the usual way. They have an abundance of money, and those who believe that the treaty should be abrogated realize that unless they are vigilant and energetic the syn dicate may be able to stave off action during the present session of Cotigress. Indeed, it seems to be tbe plan of the syn dicate to delay action as long as possible, with the hope that (urther along in the session there will be such a rush or gen eral at:d important business that tbe Ha waiian question may escape definite ac tion. A prominent Republican member of the House, who is in favor of abrogating the treaty, said to-dav that the California df-leratlon were shrewdly planning to prevent action this session, if it is possi ble to accomplish it, and he has advised one or two of the Louisiana delegation to be on their guard and to do all they can to press the matter. Mr. Mills, Chairman of the Ways and Means Sub committee, having all treatv business in charge, savs that he will en dea or to put the report forward within a few days. Nearly all the members of the Waysand Means Committee, certainly a decided majority, are in favor ot the abrogation of the treatv, and if tbe hill is reported at an early date there will be sufficient influ ence to pass it in the House In all proba bility, It may not have as plain sailing in the Senate, though, and it behooves the friends of the proposition to watch it closely after it shall have passed the House. STEAMBOATS IN AFRICA. Vessels Weighing 50,000 Fonnd* Car ried Overland Hundreds of Miles. From the Sew York Sun, Many times within tne last five years large caravans have traveled along the paths that lead far into Africa carrying strips of iron or steel, boxes of rivets and bolts, and sections of boilers, paddle wheels and smoke stacks. After many weeks these expeditions have heaped their loads upon the shore of some great lake or mighty rjver, where white men and their native assistants have welded the hundreds of pieces together and finally launched complete and perfect steamboats upon the waters of inner Af rica. Eleven steamboats aud one sailing ves sel are now plying upon these great lakes aiid rivers. it )g on |y twenty-eight year* sincq Burton and Speke wefe the first white inen to visit Lakes Victoria and Tanganyika. Only within the past ten yearA have they and the third great lake Nvassa been carefully explored, the upper waters of the Congo isi(ed, and the Alima river traced on tbe-mape. Ou all these inland waters, and also on the tippet Niger, the whistle’of the steam boat is now heard, and mary natives have learned to welcome tue puffy little crafts as offering them a chance eo trade. It was a costly undertaking to trans port these vessels hundreds of nyiles over land, far into tbe de-ptus ol Africa. Small as She steamboats are compared with ourriverboats.they welgttfrbm 25,000 to 50,000 pounds apiece'. From 800 to 1,500 porters were required to transport each boat to its destination. A few of the upper Congo steamers, however, were mounted in section* on steel wagons with broad tires, and Mr. Stanley tells of “the awful toil of dragging these heavy steam ers overland before they are set afloat above the cataracts.” These steamer* were nearly all built In Rngte'nd, and they puffed Mp and down Entllsffi rivets op trial .trips bttiVrp they were taken to pii c-s ac<t shipped to Af rica# berious delay was caused if a sin gle important piece was lost.

Lynch, of Mississippi, called on tbe President yesterday morning and directed bis attention to the massa cre of tbirten negroes at Carrollton, Miss., on March 17. They represented that they bad received numbers of letters from col ored people in that section requesting that the matter he laid before the President for such action as he may deem proper to take.
