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- WuIun^I^liomA^mnJanicKl MarctnSM583^tKnhaH^^ma!CT^^^r?3uctl Byllr.

HU government's action In the matter was, be said, two-fold. In the first place it was compelled for impor tant reasons, relating to the internal poli tics of Germany, not to send the resolution to the Reichstag, and yet it could not merely retain it, since that might have implied indifference or discourtesy, and tbe coone panned by the government wee certainly the moat courteous that the situation permitted.

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.
