W ashinqtoN, March 0.—After
the reading of the journal, the chair
laid hetore'lhe aeuate a onmmunica-
tlou from the eeoretary < f ntate, heiug
a notice that be (Bayard) had
forwarded to ibe legialaiure of Dela
ware bla reelgnatlou of hie poeltlou
** teiiator. ADo a communication from
the eeoretary of interior and attorney
—oeral, notifying the eeuate of their
reptanoe of cabinet pueltionn, and
requesting the preeldent of the eeuate
to ao notify the legielaturee of their
respective state*. The credentials of
Blair, a* a senator, to Oil a temporary
eaoancy, were laid before the eenau-
and read.
Vest moved that they be referred to
the oommitteeon privilege* and elec
tlon*.
Kdmunde objected, as also did
Hoar. The latter called attention to
the faot that precisely the same con
dition of things prevailed in the oaee
of Bell, of New Hampshire, when
the senate decided, after full discus
slon, In favor of seating that senator.
Edmunds said the Bill case was ex
actly similar to the present, and that
It bad been settled fairly and fully
and without party diversion.
Badlsbur; said he was aware that
the same question arose upon a simi
lar case in m New Hampshire, but
the senators who were then present
would remember that the right of
Bell wm very strongly contested, and
on that occasion, for the first time, he
believed In the history of the aeuate.
It was decided that the gov
ernor of the slate might
appolut a senator under such
oircumstauoes. Dawes suggested
that the proper and usual course was
to receive the credentials and seat the
senatoreand then If there were ques
tion* to be settled they might go to
the committee pn privileges and elec
tions. Vests motion was lost without
division. Hoar moved that Blair be
sworn In. Vest objected. Borne dis
cussion ensued ng&ding the bearing
of the rules of the eeuate upon the
right of a senator to send a motion ol
this cnaraeier over under ob
jection. Hoar read the record
in the ot.se of Bpafford, Louisiana,
under that occasion. Thurman
moved to administer the oath, but
Edmunds had offered au otjeoilou.
Chairman Wheeler ruled mat the
queetlon was one of the highest prlv
liege, BDd that the otdectlon would
not carry It over. He
ioar offered a
formal resolution tnat the oath be ad
ministered to the seuator from New
Hampshlie. Harris asked unani
mous consent that H layover tilt to
morrow. Oruuted.
The resolution ottered Friday by
MrVauWyok, making inquiries of
me secretary of the Interior with re
Ktiii lo the issuing of patents to the
New Olieaus and Pacific railroad
company, for what is known as the
Backbone laud grant, was laid before
the senate, aud VauWyck spoke
upon it at great length, reviewing tin
history of the road aud grant aud
condemning the aotioq of the late
aecretary ol the interior. He said he
desired to give publto notice that the
legality ot the patents would be con
tested, eo that the purchasers of the
bunds now to bs issued might Dot
claim protection accorded tolonocem
purchaser* without notioe.
Senator Teller, late eeoretary ol
tbs Intel lor, replied also at great
length to Mr Van Wyck’s attack on
the Interior department, which be
obaraoterised as discourteous and un-
senatorial; and said tbe interior de
partment had acted in tbe matter ol
tbe Backbone grant, strictly in ac
cordance with the law. He wanted
no man, he said, to defend him for
bis action oo this subject. He de
clined to quote the Backbone under
tbeshadow of thecauiuet of the presl
dent. He Insistid that by the rule,
of law aud of justice, tbe railroad
company was entitled to the lands,
< d It was upon that fact that he reel
•d.
At 2:80 p in, upon motion of Mr
Frye, tbe senate adjourned.

URANVILLE DENIES RECEIVING BI3
MARCH'S DISPATCH
Earl Granville in his letter denies
that lie ever received Prince Bis
marck's dispatch of March 3d, which
ys was evidently intended for
Munster’s guidance In
nettling with tbe general
political situation. Bhortly after May
5 b, Count V-m MuuBter and Count
Herbert Bismarck told Earle Gran
ville that Germany would be uuable
maintain a friendly attitude
relation to Egyptian affairs,
if the English continued unfriendly
on colonial que-tiouR. Earl Granville
denied that the English wae un
friendly ami gave positive assurance
future friendly actions, with
which Prince Bismarck was
satisfied. The teDsiou which
has -luce arisen has resulted from
a difference of opinion as lo whether
the assurances made by Earl Gran
ville have b-en kept or bioken. Tbe
reading of Earl Granville's letter left
a bad impression, oe it was considered
Inadequate. The exposition of bla
denial of the receipt of Prince Bis
marck's dispatch »ml tbe conveyed
hint that Count Herbert Bismarck,
at that time secretary of the German
rahassy, bad suppressed tbe com
munication. Right Hon Robert
Bourke, who woe tinder foreign seoro-

inlroduce a motion for the produotlon
of the dispatches in order to verify
thee'utement that Prince Bismarck
had been asked to advise England

LATER FROM TONQUIN.
Paris, Maroh 9.—General Brlere
has scarcely ever witnessed so early a
breakfa-t, and the library, usually
controlled until noon by the sweep
ers and house cleaner*, whh the scene
of an Industrious gathering, com
posed of the president, his private
secretary aud stenographer, at. an un*
precedentedlv early hour In addi
tion to this, Mr Cleveland found time
to receive everybody that wanted to
see him, and to show the public that
their wishes were aH imp' rtant a*
his convenience. As if this were not
enough for one day, Mr Cleveland
taught the dignified marshal that in
troductions at a public le^ee are a
meaningless and senseless formality,
and that he would receive the thou
sands of callers without presenta
tions. A president who Is an early
riser and a hard worker, and who
regards convenience and common
sense as better guides than time-
honored customs, etiquette, and pre
cedents, is indeed a surprise. The
first day oi the new administration
was one of nurprlse at the white
house, but on j that gives the utmost

Washington, March 8—The bo

are dii-cuBRed in the newspapers here
in an interesting fashion* The Htar
believes there is a growing impress
ion that the eocial interests of the
white house will not be neglected
uuder the new administration, aud
that while there may not be bo much
dignity as heretofore, white house
guests will undoubtedly enjoy them*
selves as much, if not more. Jt is
said that Miss Cleveland, who will be
tbe social head of the white house for
tbe ui xt four years, has the faculty of
making herself agreeable to a great
many people at once. Word comes
from Albany that her memory for
faces and uames Is remarkable. In
five days just previous to her depart
ure from Albany she attended four
teen different social entertainments,
including breakfasts, luncheons, din
uer purties and receptions, aud re-
membered everybody she met

It is announced that while there
will be no formal receptions at the
executive mansion for the present,
Miss Cleveland will be at home Hit
urday afternoons this month to re
ceive suoh friends as may choose to
call. Mrs Hendricks being slill at
Willard’s, will not fi id It convenient
to hold receptions at present, and it
unlikely that she will defer her forma!

Washington, March 8 —No trust
worthy opinion regarding the length
of session of the senate cau be formed
at this time. A considerable number
of nominations are expected to-mor
row, and should the new cabinet
ministers be able to determine on tbe
personnel of ite r staffs without delay,
the work of the session may be
brought to an end within a fortnight,
but the probability is recognised that
they may require a few days to be
come acquainted with the men about
them before making all the changes
they mar desire.
THE FOREIGN TREATIES
The iuteutiou which was recently
entertained by the mem tiers of the
committee on foreign n latinos, of
bringing forward tue new treaties
during this session, is now in bus
pension, owing to the wish of many
senators to get away as early as pos<
sible. It is thought, moreover, that
the new admlins ralion ai u y, as it has
he right to do, recall for amendment
some or all of the more important
treaties On the other baud it is said
to he in con if mpiatiou to bring up
the Nicarngua treaty during this ses
slnn, not for the nurprse of pressing
it to the point of ra.ificalion, but to
dbcuH8 in opsu gtsdon the relation
ship of the Clayton Bolwer treaty to
the canal question. Should this be
done it wll! be with the view to get
ting the judgment of the country
upon the whole matter before the
iu**eting%f c digress in December
THE ORGANIZATION OF THE SENATE.
Tne organization of the seuate
mlttees eugsges the attention of the
senators at present. It involves
more difficulties than usual, aud
therefore may not be decided for
several days, although the caucus
committees of both parties have had
the subject under diPCUBsiou since
last Thursday. There are five vacaut
chairmanships, including those of the
committees on education aud labor,
and military bffairs, heretofore filled
respectively by Heuators Blair and
Logan. Henator Blair, it is under
Blood, will be temporarily appointed
to lid the vacaucy created by the ex
piration of his term, and it is proba
ble that he will retain his chairman'
hip until his successor Is elected
The chairmanship of the committee
ou military affairs, if filled at
all, will be filled conditionally; so
that Gen. Logan may return to tbe
place should he be re-elected to the
senate. H.-ua'or Hoar is second on
the list of the committee on claims,
but holds the more desirable position
of chairman of the committee on
privileges and elections, and would
hardly be willing to make an eX'
change. Senator Pike, who has no
chairmanship, stands next, and Sena
tor Dolph fourth on the list. The
chairmanship of the committee on
postr.ffices and post* roads is made
vacant by the retirement of Henator
Hill. Stator Sawyer, who stands
second on the list of this committee,
bolds the chairmanship
the committee on railroads,
aud Senator Mahone, who
third, holds the same position in the
committee ou public buildings. Sen
ator Palmer, who has no chairman
ship, and Senator Wilson, who holds
that of the committee on expend!
lures of public money, stand fourth
and fifth in the membornbip of this
committee. Senator Palmer, it is
said, prefers the chairmanship of the
committee on fisheries, made vacaut
i y the retirement of Judge Lapham
Senators Sewell and Dawes stand
above him upon the lint, hut each
hold other chairmanships which are
equally or more desirable. Senators
Hawley, Aldrich, Hale and CoDger,
all experienced aud influential legis
latorn, hold chairmanships of com
paratively unimportant committees,
and if willing to assume more
responsible positions now vacant,,
may be assigned to them. Seuator
Teller’s experience as a seuator and
member of the cabinet may secure for
him a chairmanship, though such
would not be in accordance with the
custom, aud Senator Evarts’ emi
nence as a lawyer has given rise to
the expectancy that he will be made
a member ot the judiciary cou
should General Logan not be returu<
ed. The more important vacancies
to be tilled by the minority are three
upon the judiciary committee, created
by the retirement of Messrs Bayard,
Garland aud Lsmar, and one each
unon the commerce, finance, Indian
affairs, naval affairs and privileges
and elections.

There seems no longer any doubt
but what there will tie a rate war be
tween the East Tennessee. Virginia

A Times reporter yesterday met an
officer of the Nashyjdio road while in

him regarding tlie prospective war.
He stated that the war was inevita
ble. “The East Tennessee f Iks are
cutting rates toali western points,
lie remarked, “ami now we propns
to join them. I have known two in
stances where the rate was cut aimost
60 per c^ut. Our Hue never makes a
cut, aud if competing lines insist on
doing so, they foroe us to follow suit.
From what can be learned, Kunx-
ville will be the battle ground, aud
the war will bo one of the bitterest
ever fought. The Nashville peopl
are mad, and if the tight is precipi
tated they are going in for gore.—

Audubon, Iowa, March 8.—At
Exira, a town ten miles south
here, an attempt was made last
evening to blow up a saloon build
ing. For years a war has been carried
on there over tbe liquor question, but
lust year the anti-prohibitionists
elected their candidates, aud a few
weeks ago two saloons were opened
At the muuicii al election last
Mouduy tho license party carried
very thing. A f>*w days after one
of the saloon keepers was arrested,
but afterward discharged. At mid
night last night a terrible explosion
startled the towu. An explosive
iftckage wound on a rope was placed
recess In front of Morris
A Hellmau’sualoou, one of the best
buildings iu the town. Both
doors were blown open, one crashing
through a partition twenty feet
nway. A large Dole was blown in the
tl ior, and nearly every particle
glass in the building was smashed
More or less glass was shattered
buildings 200 feet away. Two
have bceu arrested charged wi'l
gineering the explosion, though it
generally believed they were but the
tools of other aud more promineut
people While the deed was doubt
less instigated by one or two fanatical
prohibitionists, the temperance men
generally condemn it iu tbe strong
est terms, and will aid in detecting
ami punishing the perpetrators. Ti
pen| le of Exira are frightened aud
excited, and the attorney engaged '
the prosecution openly charges that
the Justice of the peace is iu collusion
