I The Roach case came prominently to
e front today in the executive session
' of the senate and was the cause for
some rather plain talk from both sides
of the chamber. The senate only went
into a secret session after a yea and
nay vote in which it was developed that
the democrats had enough members pres
ent, added to the republicans, to make
a voting quorum. As soon as the doors
were closed, the republicans propounded
an inquiry- as to what the other side
meant by refusing to permit the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections to
report the resolution relative to the
contest of Mr. Martin’s seat by Mr.
Ady, resolution that had been agreed
upon in the committee at the meeting
Saturday: and. further why they had
exhibited. what appeared to be bad
faith in the Roach resolution, a resolu
tion which republicans contended, had
been agreed to by democrats on the floor
of the senate. This at oiice precipitated
a discussion in which it was developed
that the democrats were opposed to
taking up the Roach case at this time
and wanted to postpone any further
action until the next session of congress.
It was declared by democratic leaders,
as had been stated by them before, that
if the Roach case was to be gone into,
there were others that should be taken
up a-s well .The republicans retorted
that they were afraid of no investiga
tion concerning any of their members,
but thev insisted that- some positive ac
tion should bo taken in this particular
case. The democrats said that they
were willing the resolution should be
modified so as to instruct the committee
to report whether or not they had the
authority to make investigation concern
ing the previous acts of a senator, but
the republicans urged that this did not
go far enough, and insisted that • com
mittee should bo still further authorized
to go ahead and make the investigation,
if they found they had such authority.
It was this counter proposition that the
democrats opposed, and after long dis
enssioti of the two views, so vehemently
adhered to by the respective sides, the
question was laid aside without any def
inite action being taken.
The Martin ease was given its share
of the debate, the republicans eonteml
ing that the cmnniitei- on privileges and
elections should report the resolution as
adopted at its ineoting. and that the
work contemplated tinder the resolution
should bo prosecuted under the recess of
the senate. From the debate that en
sued the republicans assort that they
draw the conclusion, that the democrats
do not intend to do anything in this
ease, and will if possible refuse to look
into question of the legality of the seat
now occupied by Senator Martin.
The nomination of Mr. Eckels to be
comptroller of the currency was reported
favorably, but confirmation did not fol
low. it going over a day under the rules,
there being an objection to its present
consideration. This objection found ex
pression in some very oaustie remarks
by republican senators in regard to what
they called lack of wisdom manifested
in the selection for so important an office
of a man who. by his own admission,
knew absolutely nothing of the business
of banking.
Sir Julian I’auncefote became dean
of the diplomatic corps in Washington
this afternoon by virtue of his reception
by President as ambassador from Great
Britain. As Sir Julian is the first am
bassador from any country to the United
States, the presentation of his papers
to Mr. Cleveland was made a function
of more than usual ceremony.
Postmaster General Bissell has pre
pared a circular letter for distribution
to the various postmasters of free de
livery cities concerning the official an
nouncement of the recent decision of the
supreme court reversing the decision of
the court of claims upon the operation
of the eight hour law pertaining to the
employment of letter carriers. The cir
cular is understood to contain specific
instructions to postmasters regarding the
work of letter carriers more than eight
hours a day. and provides that in eases
where it is necessary for them to put in
extra time they shall be paid accord
ingly.
Washington, D. C., April 11.—The
.arrangements for the trip of President
('leveland to Chicago to take part in
the exercises attending the opening of
the Columbian Exposition, on May first,
will be completed in a day or two. So
far as the arrangements now extend,
they provide for a quick trip on a spec
ial train on the Pennsylvania road. The
day and hour of departure from Wash
ington and from Chicago have not been
definitely determined, but in order to
suit Mr. Cleveland’s wishes it is prob
able that the train will leave Washing
ton on the morning of April 30. and
start on its homeward trip from Chica
go on the evening of May 1. 'Hie train
was tendered by the World’s Fair com
mittee on reception and it will be ele
gantly fitted up for the distinguished
party? All members of the cabinet have
expressed a desire to accompany the
President and they will probably carry
out the intention. Mrs. Cleveland will
not. as already stated, attend the open
ing ceremonies but will press the button
at the White House that will turn the
molten metal at Chicago into the mold
of the memorial bell to be used by the
society of the Daughters of the Ameri
can Revolution. It is expected that
several ladies of the families of the cab
inet members will accompany the I’res
ideutal party to Chicago.
SI’JNATE.
Washington. April ll.—The journal
of yesterday having been read, the vice
president stated that the business be
fore the senate was a resolution for the
admission of the three senators appoint
ed by the governors of Montana, Wash
ington and Wyoming. Senator Gor
man thereupon moved to proceed to the
the consideration of executive business.
Senator Call claimed the floor in pur
suance of the notice of his intention to
address the senate on his resolution to
increase the membership of certain
standing committees of the senaite. He
intimated his readiness, however, to
yield for executive business. Senator
Hoar did not approve of that course and
expressed the hope that. Senator Call
would proceed with his remarks in ac
cordance with the unanimous under
standing of the senate.
Senator Coeken 11—“ The senator from
Florida has a right to yield the floor.”
"Certainly he has the right,” assented
Senator Hoar, “and he has done it.”
Senator Cockrell added that that de
stroys the unanimous consent hereto
fore given.
Senator Gorman renewed his motion
nnd Senator Chandler demanded the
yeas and nays. We join in the request,
said Senator Cockrell, with the air of a.
person assured of victory. A vote was
taken, and although there were three
or four pairs announced, the result
showed that thefle were 55 senators
voting. 12 more than a quorum. Hie
vote, 'which was a strict party one, (1 of
fer voting With the democrats.) stood:
yeas 39, nays 16. So the senate, at
r’ -’5 proceeded to the consideration of
executive business. T he senate remained
in executive session until 3:lo and then
adjourned until tomorrow.
Exports of cotton from March were in
value $15,218,000, against $18,832,000 in

THE HOME RULE BILL.
Michael Davitt Makes an Able Defense of
the Measure.
London, April 11.—The first speaker in
i the House of Commons today on a mo-
I tion for the second reading of the Irish
home rule bill was Ellis Ashmead-Bart
lett, conservative, who earnestly opposed
the bill.
He was followed by Michael Davitt,
who made a forcible speech iu favor of
the measure. Davitt said that the bill
would be accepted by 13,000,000 of the
Irish race as a pact of peace to be hon
orably observed. He had changed his
opinion since 1886, and now strongly
suported the retention of Irish, mem
bers in the Imperial Parliament., The
bill was a compromise, and not the re
sult of a revolution, ami therefore the
friends of peace in Ireland and England
took it as containing all the conditions
of a lasting - union. The Irish, Mr. Dav
itt continued, did not wish home rule to
cost the British parliament a single pen
ny, and they would not shirk their fair
share of imperial expenditures. , In re
gard to landlord and propertied 'classes,
surely the nationalists, who were desir
i ous of making Ireland prosperous under
i self-government, could be trusted not to
perpetrate an injustice upon aoiy class
whose’ ruin would involve the ruin
of the country. Davitt added that he
had little love for Irish landlords, but
he was certain that the natiomialfets
would weigh carefully every measure
affeting the land.

TO DISMISS
THE RECEIVER.
The Presence of Richmond Ter
minal Officials Cleared Up.
Judge Speer's Action Unusual
and Without Precedent.
Mr. Crawford’s Strong Speech Before
Judge Pardee in Savannah.
Savannah. Ga., April 11.—(Special.)—
The mysterious presence of Richmond
Terminal officials here cropped out to
day. The case of the Central Trust
Company, of New York. vs. The
Central Railroad was called in the
United States Court this morning and
Hon. Henry, B. Tompkins, of Atlanta,
endeavored to show cause why a separ
ate and independent receiver should be
appointed for the Savannah and West
ern system, while Capt. Cunningham
argued for the Central, stilting that
Mr. Comer should be retained as re
ceiver of the system in charge of the
courts as it would best subserve the
interest of both roads and all concerned
that they remain parts of the same
system.
Mr. Lowrey, of Lowrey. Stone &
Auerbach, followed in behalf of the
reorganization committee and then
Henry Crawford, Esq., attorney for flic
Richmond Terminal, who was iu court
with W. Q. Oakman, receiver for the
Terminal, addressed the court and in
troduced two motions tinder the Rowena
Clarke bill. The first was to discharge
Receiver Comer and to annul all con
tracts made under the receivership on
the ground of illegality, and the second
was to dismiss the orders of Judge
Speer in regard to the reorganization
committee on the ground that they .were
irregular anil erroneous ami that the
court had no jurisdiction whatever in
this cause to enter such orders and that
the same are utterly void.
These motions came like a thunder
clap iu court., as no one anticipated such
action, and no one knew what the Rich
mond Terminal officials intended to to.
Mr. Crawford’s speech in behalf of
the Terminal was still more sensational.
Ho charged the courts with co-operation
with the reorganization committee and
said the case of a district judge taking
charge of an interstate system of rail
roads under a receiver was irregular
and without, precedent, and characterized
it as a most, unusual proceeding. Ho
further said the court had no right to
appoint n receiver for a solvent corpora
tion, and the Central was such. Mr.
Crawford also stated that the action
of the court in allowing the receiver to
borrow money without showing what
It was needed for was illegal and un
usual. and that the most unusual pro
ceeding was the contract made with
Hollins A Co.. . with the permission of
the court, to allow them to sell collateral
securitjas of tlho company iwhen the
bonds fell due* in case they were not
paid.
Crawford’s speech was the sensation
of the day. The court adjourned before
Im concluded to 10:30 tomorrow moru

from one section, many of them badly
scorched. Several rescuing parties were
driven back and one rescuer was killed.
Four bodies of miners were brought out
The mine is now burning fiercely.
At midnight the light was again being
made in the sections of tile mine near
the shaft. The service main, which
wns used to pour water into the mine,
has burst. The difficulties of the way
of quenching the fire Ivive increased
greatly and the rescue of the men below
is re.L,«( l 'ded as liiopeless. T'li'epit is
worked in sections, one seam being
above another.
The fire resulting from the explosion
broke out in the eastern section. From
this section seventy men succeecded in
reaching the surface through the main
dip working, led by a mitjer who knew
the roads. They had u terrible struggle
to get out, forcing their way through
fire and smoke. Many of them were
scorched and all were terribly exhausted.
They brought no good news as to those
who were left behind, but on the con
trary, expressed their dread that all
those in the mine had perished.
The number of men still in the mine
cannot be ascertained, although it is
known to be above tit ty. 1 here is a_ lit
tle hope that some of them found refuge
at such distance from the burirng sec
tions and that they are still alive. Sev
eral bodies were seen by rescuers m
their different attempts, but could not
be reached.

FOUR WERE MURDERED
And the Cabin Burned -The Result of a
Family Feud.
Greenville, S. C„ April 11—News
reached here today that the bodies of
E. W. Hensley, wife, grown daughter
and twelve-year-old sou were found
Monday morning iu the ruins of their
cabin. They lived thirty miles above
here on t.he side of Glassy mountain in
a remote and secluded section. The cabiu
is supposed to have been burned some
time during Sunday night. Investiga
tion is being made as it is not thought
likely that the family would have failed
to be aroused by the fire or would have
had any difficulty in escaping from so
small a’building. The scene of the trag
edy is in the moonshine section and there
is suspicion that, Hensley may have be
come involved iu some of the family
funds so frequent in mountains and the
family became victims of some enemy’s
vengeance.
