THE LASKER RESOLUTION.
It Is Returned to Congress—Secretary
Frelinghuysen’s Reply.
Washington, March 10.—The President
transmitted to tbo House of Representa
tives to-day in a brief message, without
comment, a number of letters, telegrams
and other documents relating to the Las
ker resolution, which was recently return
ed by Prince Bismarck. The greater part
of the correspondence is of no interest now,
having been anticipated by previous pub
lication. Among the documeifts is a mem
orandum of a conversation between Secre
tary Frelinghuysen and the German min
ister, Ilerr Von Eisendecker, when the lat
ter returned the resolution:
The German minister said: “Mr. Secre
tary, I have received instructions from my
government to read to you and leave with
you a copy of a dispatch whleli I hold in
my hand relating to a resolution of con
dolence adopted by the House of Repre
sentatives of the United States on the
death *of Dr. Lasker.”
The dispatch from Bismarck thus pre
sented by Eisendecker, has been pub
lished, having been telegraphed by cable.
After reading and presenting to Secre
tary Frelinghuysen the above letter. Herr
Von|Eisendecker added: “I am further
Instructed to express to you, Mr. Secretary,
Prince Bismarck’s regrets that ho found
himself unable to comply with the wish
formulated by Mr. Sargent, and also to
leave with you. If you desire it. the en
grossed copy of the resolution. which, in
deference to its high origin, I may add, my
government cannot, on its own responsi
bility, feel at liberty to retain.”
The Secretary of 8tate sald^ “Mr. Min
ister, in response to your offer to return
the engrossed copy of the resolution, let
me say, that tho President cannot be sup
posed to have any with in respect to what
the German government may do in regard
to the disposition of the copy of the reso
lution of the House of Representatives,
after it has been decided that it cannot be
transmitted to the body for which it was
courteously intended.”
The minister replied: “Your answer, Mr.
Secretary, expresses no wish, and conse
quently relieves my government Irom the
obligation it has felt to return the resolu-
nomi-j tion, which was entrusted to it for trans-

In the matter was, be said, two-fold. In

A COLORADO AVALANCHE.
A Small Town Utterly Destroyed—Death
and Suffering.
Denver. March 12.—Monday night a
snow elide’dcscended to the little snow
bound station of Woodstock, on a branch
of the South Park railroad, seventy-five
miles southwest of Leadville, carrying
away every building in the town, including
the railroad station. The news was brought
to Pitkin, nine miles distant, by a station
hand on snow shoes, arriving yesterday af
ternoon. Seventeen persons are known to
have beon caught in the avolanch. includ
ing Mrs. Doyle, a widow, who
kept the station, and her six children,
and another woman, name unknown, and
ten section men. The two women were
rescued alive but seriously injured. The
oody of one section hand was recovered.
None of the others can escape alive. As
soon as the news reached Pitkin the fire
bell9 Rounded an alarm, and a large num
ber of citizens started on snow •joes for
the scene of the disaster. The snow fall in
the mountain district of Colorado
the present winter is without parallel
in the history of the State. Many
many mining camps west and south have
been snow-bound since November. The
San Juan country is the greatest sufferer.
Durango, 8llvertown and Rico, containing
from one to five thousand inhabitants, are
still blockaded, no train having reached
either town in several weeks. Brecken-
ridge, fifty -miles north of Leadville, is
nearly destitute: Montezuma, ten
miles distant, is in a pitia
ble condition. CHnnifOB, ghuited a
few miles from the largest coal mines in
the State, is suffering from a coal famine.
The snow is eight feet on a level over the
whole country, and in ravines and gulches
fifty and i ne hundred feet. The only
means of communication is.m *imw .shoe*,
and few men are fearless enough to brave
the hitter .storm*. When the spring thaw*
move these mountains of snow, fearful re
suits may fallow.
SHOOTING IN A THEATRE.
Texas's Champion Desperadoes Pistol
Each Other.
San Antonio, Tex., March 12.—Ben
Thompson and Ning Fisher shot each
other dead in the Vaudeville Theatre last
night Joe Foster, who attempted to quiet
the combatants, was shot in the leg, and
will probably die of hemorrhage. Thomp
son an<l Fisher had been drinking to
gether, and entered the theatre in compa
ny. They meiFoster in the dress circle and
some words were exchanged. The dress
circle was quickly cleared, the occupants
uraplng into the parquette below and
brought the side windows into the street.
No one teems to know who fired the first
shot or how many were engaged in the
shooting. Before the thca're was fairly
cleared of its occupants, 1,500 persons on
the outside were clamoring at the closed
doors for admittance. Shortly after the
shooting, Thompson’s brother put in an
appearance, but was promptly arrested.
jury wa* hastily impaneled and it wa*
ascertained that Thompson had received
four mortal wounds, and that Fisher had
been wounded three times, two of which
would have caused instant death. The
remains of the victims were taken in
' !: 1!V' by H ho*t of frieml*, and the ob-e-
quits have been ordered on tlte grandest
scale, regardless of expense.
The theatre where tne affray occurred
was the scene last year of the killing by
Thompson of Jack Harris, who was the
proprietor of tho place. Fisher and
Thompson were probably the most desper
ate and widely known men in Texas,
They have e&cb killed A large number of
