Washington, March 38,—CoL Casey Young, upon the meeting of the special committee investigating Pan Electric telephone affairs, continued his testinu ny. He exhibited the books of the company, whichjfhe as its secretary and treasurer kept, and told of the persons who had secured stock, the amounts and what they paid for it. This did not differ materially from the statements made by Dr. Rogers. The stock liad all been disposed of by Dr. Rogers except t hat which was secured by Senator Vest, Dr. Harlan and two ladies, which came from the company. About $34,000 had been distributed among the stockholders as dividends from stock sold. The whole amount received was $85,003 from all sources, sale of stock, franchises, etc. There is in the treasury about $3,900. The balance of the receipts was expended in prosecuting the company's suits and enterprises. Witness said he never was paid anything but his traveling expenses for what he had done as secretary and treasurer. CoL foung stated that he was the only congressman who had had anything to do with the company. Neither he nor any one authorised to act for the Pan Electric company had tried to dispose of stock to congressmen. He did not think they were a good class of men to sell to, and believed them to be an undesirable class to have in any business enterprise. He did not think of giving away stock to congressmen or other public men. Fire Island, L. I, March 33.—The second visit of the tug Rescue and wrecking schooner Edward Post to the Oregon Thursday accomplished very little. The tu r arrived at the wreck Wednesday night, and at low water Thursday a diver went down for the first time. He descended on the mainmast of tho sunken steamer, but the signal line and air tube becoming tangled in the rigging he was forced to return to the schooner. After getting breath he went down again, but remained below less than an hour, the greater part of the time having been taken up in climbing up and down the long mast The diver walked the entire length of the Oregon and found that all the hatches had been forced open. As far as could be seen, the after part of the vessel was uninjured, although the cabin doors and skylights had been wrenched off, and the water was washing through into the saloon. On the upper deck, near the officers' apartments, are two staterooms numbered A and B. The diver went into stateroom A, which had been occupied by Mrs. Edwin D. Morgan, and found all the furniture floating about at the oeiling. He secured a hand-bag and valise, and pulling a large steamer trunk from under the lower berth took it on deck, where it floated to the surface and was taken on board the Rescue. The diver then want forward to the foremast, which had fallen, and found that the ship was broken in two at that point A passageway was then opened to the lower decks, from which all the cargo had been washed out The mast laid across the hold, having torn op the bulwarks and loosened the deck planks, which had floated away. The wire shrouds and splintered fastenings and parte of the mast were scattered over the deck. Sherman Refused the Sepate Papers New York, March 23.—Another arrest was made yesterday afternoon on an order issued by Judge Henry Wilder Allen, of the court of common pleas, on application of Stern & Myers, attorneys for Jordah, Marsh & Co., of Boston, to recover certain moneys said to have been obtained by a number of New York wholesale dealers in ladies' cloaks and suits, through collusion with a clerk, with intent to deceive and defraud the Boston firm. The aggregate amount involved in the transactions with the various houses accused of fraud is upward of (800,000. Albert Friedlander, of A. Fried lander & Co., 877 Broadway, is under bail in two of these suits for the recovery of about one-third of that amount. Abraham Schwab, 41 Greene street, was arrested this afternoon on a similar charge. He was released on $10,000 bail, his bondsman being Jacob H. Lowenstine, dealer in fancy goods at the same address. The amount sought to be recovered from the Schwahs is $16,558. The foundation for the several claims for recovery by Jordan, Marsh & Co. is identical in each case, the difference being in the persons and the amounts. The information upon which this arrest was made is based chiefly on the confession of John H Hewes, who admits that he entered into a secret and' corrupt arrangement with Abraham Schwab to deceive and defraud the Boston firm. Hewes was a buyer for Jordan, March & Co., and he discloses fully how the alleged dishonest business was carried on, and the money paid on invoices, either altered by him in respect of dates, or made out by him on blank bill heads furnished by the houses from which be was. in. the habit of buying goods. Other arrests will probably be made this week. The whole affair has created a commotion in the dry goods trade, inasmuch as Jordan, Marsh & Co., have refused to pay unsettled bills to the amount of quarter of a million dollars claimed on invoices of the character above described, and also had been determined to prosecute all of Hetre's alleged accomplices for. restitution of the money already paid on account of similar transactions before their real nature was found out Once Upon a Time. The bill amending the general railroad act to compel all railroads hereafter constructed to cross highways, etc., either above o.' under the grade, and giving the railroad commissioners power to compel existing railroads to do the same, was also ordered to a third reading. Time to Settle the Question Once for AIL Senators aa Individuals Can See Papers as a of Courtesy, Which ths- Senate aa Snok Cannot Demand—Logan Does Not Visit Departments to Ask country; therefore, be it Resolved, That we insist upon our rights as American citizens to assemble and organize and negotiate, and that with other organizations through our delegates and representatives, with the representatives of any and all other organizations and combinations whatsver.Favor*. On motion of Mr. Curtis a concurrent resolution requesting the senators and representatives in congress to favor the house bill to protect producers and consumers of dairy products was adopted. Washington, March 23.—If there ever was a question, Mr. Colquitt said, that should be settled, it was the question involved here. Referring to the contest between President Jackson and the senate, Mr. Colquitt said that if the gigantic intellects of Clay, Calhoun and Webster could not succeed in overturning the received and established construction and Interpretation of the constitution it should be a warning to the leaders of this day that they are engaged in a futile attempt to place another construction on the constitution. The bill providing for a medical department in the Syracuse university. Bills passed Resolved, That the refusal on the part of the representatives of labor is a silly subterfuge for the of perpetuating strife and ruining a country which it is become evident they cannot longer rule. The bill constituting Gens. Sickles, Slocum, Carr and Richardson a commission to erect monuments at Gettysburg and appropriating $5,000 for the same. Mr. Coggeshall's Utica and Mohawk railroad extension bill. Resolved, That we request all organization* an 1 trade assemblies in the land to unite in a demand for recognition of their representatives and their right to negotiate, treat and deal with individual! or bodies, aa the case may be. "Offensive partfcanihtp," Mr. Colquitt said, "was not a new discovery with this administration." He read the circular of President Hayes, prohibitihg the participation of officeholders in political caucuses, etc. To show what official partisanship was, he read a letter addressed by an officeholder to the secretary of the treasury without giving tho name of the writer or the place he had held. Having been charged with want of diligence in his office, the officeholder wrote boldly that Che had been nominated to the office without ihis knowledge; that his appointment- had keen made looking to his political operations in the then approaching political campaign of 1884. He had gone to Washington and remained there two months. Mr. Plunkett's bill relative to the grading of the memorial grounds at Riverside around Gen. Grant's tomb. Resolved, That we call upon our legislators, both state and national, to enact such measures as will compel the recognition of labor organizations and trades assemblies, and also to compel corporations to arbitrate differences between and with themselves and their employees. Mr. Murphy's bill fixing twelve hours as a day's work on New York street surface and elevated roads, With thirty minutes for dinner. "I was not so fluent in that direction," said he, as was Dr. Rogers. A congressman or politician was of no account to us. We wanted no legislation, and had no use for them. A great many public men spoke to me of the Pan Electric company—probably fifty congressmen—but the conversations were only casual. I did not try to sell any stock to these men, and some who ■poke of buying the stock were advised by me to not buy the stock till the litigation the company was engaged in was disposed of, because the stock, under the circumstances, was not good for speculation. There was never any secrecy made of any of the meetings of stockholders, the proceedings, or as to who were officers or in any way interested in the company. I have always thought, and now think, that the company and all of its acts and intentions were perfectly legitimate, and I have no apology to make for anything the company, has ever done or contemplated. The company never contemplated any legislation or any improper action by the officials of the government interested in the company. Now a good deal has been said about the Pan Electric company having had a bill introduced to enable the attorney general to bring suit in the name of tbe government to annul patents. This bill (exhibiting it) was first introduced by Mr. Vapoe, of North Carolina, on June 9, 1880, nearly three yean before the Pan Electric company existed, and it has been introduced in each congress since. When I was in congres—the last congress—I first heard of the bill when it was read from the clerk's desk, and, singular as it may seem, I was the only man in tbe house who opposed its passage. It struck me at the first glance that it was a dangerous bill, as it might be construed to deprive all others than the attorney general o£ the right to bring suit to annul patents." STRUCK OIL IN EGYPT. The English Will Take Renewed Interest In the Soudan. MINISTERS' SALARIES. London, March 38.—The discovery In upper Egypt of petroleum in paying quantities has developed an oil fever London and renewed agitation in favor of the reoccupation of the Soudan by the British troops and traders. The Suez correspondent of The London Times telegraphs that the discovery is one of the results of the explorations of Nubar Pasha's expedition to the Soudan. Subsequent to the finding of oil nsarSuakim, otjher portions of the Red sea coast were pro* pected, and examination disclosed nnmistalfable signs of petroleum at a very slight depth. The geological formation of the country is favorable to the existence of larger quantities at lower depths. Even under the existing n» Gospel Almost Free In Pennsylvania. Salaries to be Divided. The hole made by the collision -was so far over the side that the diver made nc attempt to get to it When an examination is made of this hole an iron ladder will be used, or the diver will be lowered over the Oregon's side with a rope by another diver on the steamer's deck. PhiljlDXLKHIA, March 28.—In the Philadelphia conference Rev. ELD. Pepper was appointed editor of The Christian Standard. Debate on a resolution introduced by Presidng Elder Crouch, urging an earnest and determined effort to raise $4,000 for home millions and sustentation this year, elicited some interesting information as to condition of poorly paid ministers. Mr. Crouch knew of pastors who supported wives and children on $900 a year. DOING POLITICAL WORK, that that action was sanctioned by the secretary of the treasury at the tjpie, who well understood the object of the visit. Mr. Colquitt read from a report as to another officeholder, showing that he was found short over $500 in his money order department, and had not one cent wherewith to this shortage. This deficiency eras from the use of the money for the private business of the officeholder. He had also exchanged postage stamps for merchandise..While the diver was below last Thursday, the ship rocked from side to side and a swift current was reported sweeping from east to west This shows that the Oregon has not begun to "sand in" as was predicted, bat is probably lying on an uneven bottom. LOGAN'S ARMY BILL. Rev. William Sivendells was amaaed that •ome pastors were able to pay their debts. Be knew of pastors who support families and keep horses and carriages on $400 a year. Rev.JW. S. Thomas told of a minister, the members of whose family live on a par capita ot four cents a day. The diver returned to the Rescue with Mrs. Morgan's sachels, which were locked, as was the trunk. The leather on theee was wrinkled and furrowed, and the brass frame of the trunk was bent in and out All were marked "E D. M." On making harbor Friday the sachels, which were described by Mrs. Morgan in a telegram to Fire island, were taken to New York unopened by Agent Seymour, of the Merritt Wrecking company. The leather trunk, which is in a much battered condition, is still on board the Rescue. unfavorable condil ery, etc.—attending the development of the single well near Suakim, the yield is about two tons per day. The oil htt a specific gravity of 0.880, and the territory in whict undoubted evidence of its presence ha* been found is easily accessible from the coast machin- The Heuoni Why He Think* the Army Should be Increased. Mr. Logan inquired if that officeholder was suspended: Washington, March 28.—Mr. Logan's bill to increase the efficiency of the army was taken up. "No," replied Mr. Colquitt, "but he will be suspended if you will give the assurance that the substitute for him will be confirmed." This was regarded as a questionable statement by a delegate, but Mr. Thomas insisted that it was true. But for a feeling of delicacy he would mention the pastor's name. Mr. Hale moved to strike out the section providing for a force of 30,000 enlisted men. He could see no reason for an increased army force except because of Indian troubles. He read from the report of the present secretary of war the statement that the Indian was no longer a source of danger, and he did not think the secretary of war or the lieutenant of the army desired the increase, and besides adding 6,000 additional men to the army meant an annual increase of five million dollars in the army appropriation bill Mr. Logan-iuquired if the paper Mr. Colquitt had read from was a record. Pittsburg, March 28.— After hard work yesterday morning, the flames'wers extinguished at the burning gas well at Murraysville. A huge smoke stack waa erectsd orst the well, through which the flames naturally rushed. This stack was suddenly upset, cutting off the current of gas for an instant, and the flames were extinguished. Mrs. Harry Taylor, one of the victims, is still living, with scarce a chance of recovery. In event d recovering both her arms will hare to b* amputated. The Gas Fire Extinguished. Mr. Colquitt replied "Yes." It was finally resolved that each mini, m receiving $1,000 a year or over shpuld contribute 8 per cent, of his salary to the support of the poorer pastors. Mr. Logan asked whether it was from the tpostoffice department. Mr Colquitt said it was, and that it was ■open to any senator applying to see it Among the other articles picked up is a large tin case four feet square, filled with kid gloves. It is dented and battered. While the wrecking schooner was at the wreck the tug cruised about for several miles and took soundings, keeping a small grapple towing astern. It was hoped that some flotsam from the mysterious schooner would be found, but nothing was seen of her. THEY ARE ALL PARTNERS. Mr. Logan was struck, he said, with the strange foct that records could be furnished individuals for some senators to make speeches on, but could not be furnished when called tor uv a resolution of the senate. Mr. Hoar inquired whether the facts were that'papers of this character were furnished wlfen the officials were guilty and not when they were innocent A Mew York Clothing Home Will Share Profits With Its Men, Mr. Logan said if Mr. Hale could get a letter from Gen. Sheridan or Gen. Sherman or any leading army officer stating that 25,000 men were enough for our army, he would withdraw the proposition to strengthen the army. He knew leading officers favored the increase. The proposition to increase was not because of any apprehended danger, but because the government should have an army of respectable size. Our officers, Mr. Logan said, were almost ashamed to bring their companies out in the presence of the American people. No officer could be proud of twenty men unless it had been reduced to that number in battles. New York, March 83.—At a banquet given by Rogers, Peet & Co. to their employes Mr. Chambers gave the cause of good fellowship* a big lift when he said, during hie welcoming speech, that each employe of the firm had been taken into partnership at thi beginning of the year, and then made this explanation; Agent Seymour returned to the tug. and will start for the wreck again as won as the weather will permit The rain cleared away, but a heavy aea is beating on Fire Island beach. The northerly wind now blowing will knockthe sea down and the tug, with the schooner in tow, expects to leave soon. There are three divers and forty wreckers on board. Mr. Seymour says positively that there will be no effort to raise the steamer. The object of their work is to determine exactly the size and condition of the hole in the Oregon's side and secure what they can of her cargo. j New Jersey Chancery Court. f Trenton, March 88.—The chanoerjrfcourt yesterday ordered the sale of tbe $3,000,00(1 securities pledged by the Reading company in 1883 to secure payment of Jersey Central'! Mr. Colquitt had no doubt the senator could AN INNOCENT MAN PUNISHED. OCT PAPERS OF BOTH CHARACTERS, ▲ Deathbed Confession Glean Edward As for the details of our plan, the purpose is to set aside a certain per centage of our net gain as ascertained at the end of the. year, and with that sum declare a dividend upon the total amount of wages paid to those who work under our own roof—whoever hat earned even so much as a week's wages will participate—provided he or she was not diseluu-ged for cause.

If anything is made, whatever it may amount to, your share shall be faithfully distributed—you can trust as for that. indebtedness existing prior to the lease to Beading. Mr. Oowen will try to hare the receiver hold the securities awhile. If there were such papers in the department and the senator would ask for them. Lashway. Mr. Hoar asked on what principle the papers were given to a senator and denied tp i Ik* resolution of the senate. Glens Falls, March 23.—In November, 1881, William Shaw, alias "Buck," and Edward Lash way, both of this place, were sentenced to Dannemora prison by Judge Davis, now deceased, for a term of ten years. The crime charged was assaulting and robbing on the highway one Ahyette of $19. Both men protested their innocence, Lashway protesting amid tears that he was innocent of any connection with the crime. About six weeks ago Davis died in the prison hospital. Before his death he made a confession, in which he declared Lashway innocent, and that Ahyette was robbed by a notorious woman of the name of Fleming, now living in Saratoga, who was in company with him on the evening of the robbery. Verdict Against a Clergyman. D ( « Nashville, March 23. —In the suit of Mis Tabitha Stevens against Rev. Goodloe Woods, of Fayettville, the plaintiff was awarded •5,000 for seduction. Mr. Colquitt asserted that no senator had been refused access to the papers. The department had, however, refused to give them In response to a call, as a matter of right, by fee senate. BASEBALL QUARRELS. Hempstead, March 23 Mrs. Morgan was seen at this place on her return from New York, where she had been to get her diamonds. She said that they had been returned to her, but that she knew nothing of the circumstances of their recovery. A Sentence Confirmed—McKnlght Will Gen. Naglee Burled. Mr. Hoar said this was the first time he had heard of the consent of the departments to exhibit them to anybody oicept to the Maters on the Democratic Side. and Mr. Hoar had heard of a good many refusals.

A telegram was received from ex-President McKnight, refusing to surrender his official position. The association then telegraphed him a formal request for the immediate delivery of all papers, books aid accounts, threatening legal proceedings. The courts will probably settle the matter. Mr. Hoar said he was a member of a committee that had been refused PorrevrLLE, Pa., March 22.—A terrible tccident occurred in the tunnel of the Pottsville and Mahanoy railroad, just outside of this city. Shortly after the day shift went on a tremendous fall of top rock took place, burying some twenty workmen, mostly Italians. James W. Wright and "No. 5" were killed outright, Sam Backus and Lew Reber were badly hurt internally, and John Cotter, of St. Clair, an American and a steam driller, besides terrible bruises, was seriously injured internally. Besides the three lastnamed, who are probably fatally hurt, a dozen others sustained painful scalp and ffesh The Tinsel Boot Fell. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. The Market Opens Quiet, Followed by a Colquitt said the demand was made as m matter of right that papers should be sent to the senate, papers of a very different from those he had read here, and that iltlwiil'l had been refused. The ground eu'whkh tbaj had been declined was that the satiate, in its capacity as a senate, had no right to demand correspondence of a private and confidential character relating to removals from office.

Mr. Cole, chairman of the railroad committee, offered a substitute which was ordered to a third reading, as was also the bill fixing the responsibility of railroad companies for fires communicated by sparks from locomotives.Charges of a Serious Character Against Well-KnJwn Merchant*. Washington, March 38,—CoL Casey Young, upon the meeting of the special committee investigating Pan Electric telephone affairs, continued his testinu ny. He exhibited the books of the company, whichjfhe as its secretary and treasurer kept, and told of the persons who had secured stock, the amounts and what they paid for it. This did not differ materially from the statements made by Dr. Rogers. The stock liad all been disposed of by Dr. Rogers except t hat which was secured by Senator Vest, Dr. Harlan and two ladies, which came from the company. About $34,000 had been distributed among the stockholders as dividends from stock sold. The whole amount received was $85,003 from all sources, sale of stock, franchises, etc. There is in the treasury about $3,900. The balance of the receipts was expended in prosecuting the company's suits and enterprises. Witness said he never was paid anything but his traveling expenses for what he had done as secretary and treasurer. CoL foung stated that he was the only congressman who had had anything to do with the company. Neither he nor any one authorised to act for the Pan Electric company had tried to dispose of stock to congressmen. He did not think they were a good class of men to sell to, and believed them to be an undesirable class to have in any business enterprise. He did not think of giving away stock to congressmen or other public men. Fire Island, L. I, March 33.—The second visit of the tug Rescue and wrecking schooner Edward Post to the Oregon Thursday accomplished very little. The tu r arrived at the wreck Wednesday night, and at low water Thursday a diver went down for the first time. He descended on the mainmast of tho sunken steamer, but the signal line and air tube becoming tangled in the rigging he was forced to return to the schooner. After getting breath he went down again, but remained below less than an hour, the greater part of the time having been taken up in climbing up and down the long mast The diver walked the entire length of the Oregon and found that all the hatches had been forced open. As far as could be seen, the after part of the vessel was uninjured, although the cabin doors and skylights had been wrenched off, and the water was washing through into the saloon. On the upper deck, near the officers' apartments, are two staterooms numbered A and B. The diver went into stateroom A, which had been occupied by Mrs. Edwin D. Morgan, and found all the furniture floating about at the oeiling. He secured a hand-bag and valise, and pulling a large steamer trunk from under the lower berth took it on deck, where it floated to the surface and was taken on board the Rescue. The diver then want forward to the foremast, which had fallen, and found that the ship was broken in two at that point A passageway was then opened to the lower decks, from which all the cargo had been washed out The mast laid across the hold, having torn op the bulwarks and loosened the deck planks, which had floated away. The wire shrouds and splintered fastenings and parte of the mast were scattered over the deck. Sherman Refused the Sepate Papers New York, March 23.—Another arrest was made yesterday afternoon on an order issued by Judge Henry Wilder Allen, of the court of common pleas, on application of Stern & Myers, attorneys for Jordah, Marsh & Co., of Boston, to recover certain moneys said to have been obtained by a number of New York wholesale dealers in ladies' cloaks and suits, through collusion with a clerk, with intent to deceive and defraud the Boston firm. The aggregate amount involved in the transactions with the various houses accused of fraud is upward of (800,000. Albert Friedlander, of A. Fried lander & Co., 877 Broadway, is under bail in two of these suits for the recovery of about one-third of that amount. Abraham Schwab, 41 Greene street, was arrested this afternoon on a similar charge. He was released on $10,000 bail, his bondsman being Jacob H. Lowenstine, dealer in fancy goods at the same address. The amount sought to be recovered from the Schwahs is $16,558. The foundation for the several claims for recovery by Jordan, Marsh & Co. is identical in each case, the difference being in the persons and the amounts. The information upon which this arrest was made is based chiefly on the confession of John H Hewes, who admits that he entered into a secret and' corrupt arrangement with Abraham Schwab to deceive and defraud the Boston firm. Hewes was a buyer for Jordan, March & Co., and he discloses fully how the alleged dishonest business was carried on, and the money paid on invoices, either altered by him in respect of dates, or made out by him on blank bill heads furnished by the houses from which be was. in. the habit of buying goods. Other arrests will probably be made this week. The whole affair has created a commotion in the dry goods trade, inasmuch as Jordan, Marsh & Co., have refused to pay unsettled bills to the amount of quarter of a million dollars claimed on invoices of the character above described, and also had been determined to prosecute all of Hetre's alleged accomplices for. restitution of the money already paid on account of similar transactions before their real nature was found out Once Upon a Time. The bill amending the general railroad act to compel all railroads hereafter constructed to cross highways, etc., either above o.' under the grade, and giving the railroad commissioners power to compel existing railroads to do the same, was also ordered to a third reading. Time to Settle the Question Once for AIL Senators aa Individuals Can See Papers as a of Courtesy, Which ths- Senate aa Snok Cannot Demand—Logan Does Not Visit Departments to Ask country; therefore, be it Resolved, That we insist upon our rights as American citizens to assemble and organize and negotiate, and that with other organizations through our delegates and representatives, with the representatives of any and all other organizations and combinations whatsver.Favor*. On motion of Mr. Curtis a concurrent resolution requesting the senators and representatives in congress to favor the house bill to protect producers and consumers of dairy products was adopted. Washington, March 23.—If there ever was a question, Mr. Colquitt said, that should be settled, it was the question involved here. Referring to the contest between President Jackson and the senate, Mr. Colquitt said that if the gigantic intellects of Clay, Calhoun and Webster could not succeed in overturning the received and established construction and Interpretation of the constitution it should be a warning to the leaders of this day that they are engaged in a futile attempt to place another construction on the constitution. The bill providing for a medical department in the Syracuse university. Bills passed Resolved, That the refusal on the part of the representatives of labor is a silly subterfuge for the of perpetuating strife and ruining a country which it is become evident they cannot longer rule.

Resolved, That we request all organization* an 1 trade assemblies in the land to unite in a demand for recognition of their representatives and their right to negotiate, treat and deal with individual! or bodies, aa the case may be. "Offensive partfcanihtp," Mr. Colquitt said, "was not a new discovery with this administration." He read the circular of President Hayes, prohibitihg the participation of officeholders in political caucuses, etc. To show what official partisanship was, he read a letter addressed by an officeholder to the secretary of the treasury without giving tho name of the writer or the place he had held. Having been charged with want of diligence in his office, the officeholder wrote boldly that Che had been nominated to the office without ihis knowledge; that his appointment- had keen made looking to his political operations in the then approaching political campaign of 1884. He had gone to Washington and remained there two months. Mr. Plunkett's bill relative to the grading of the memorial grounds at Riverside around Gen. Grant's tomb. Resolved, That we call upon our legislators, both state and national, to enact such measures as will compel the recognition of labor organizations and trades assemblies, and also to compel corporations to arbitrate differences between and with themselves and their employees. Mr. Murphy's bill fixing twelve hours as a day's work on New York street surface and elevated roads, With thirty minutes for dinner. "I was not so fluent in that direction," said he, as was Dr. Rogers. A congressman or politician was of no account to us. We wanted no legislation, and had no use for them. A great many public men spoke to me of the Pan Electric company—probably fifty congressmen—but the conversations were only casual. I did not try to sell any stock to these men, and some who ■poke of buying the stock were advised by me to not buy the stock till the litigation the company was engaged in was disposed of, because the stock, under the circumstances, was not good for speculation. There was never any secrecy made of any of the meetings of stockholders, the proceedings, or as to who were officers or in any way interested in the company. I have always thought, and now think, that the company and all of its acts and intentions were perfectly legitimate, and I have no apology to make for anything the company, has ever done or contemplated. The company never contemplated any legislation or any improper action by the officials of the government interested in the company. Now a good deal has been said about the Pan Electric company having had a bill introduced to enable the attorney general to bring suit in the name of tbe government to annul patents. This bill (exhibiting it) was first introduced by Mr. Vapoe, of North Carolina, on June 9, 1880, nearly three yean before the Pan Electric company existed, and it has been introduced in each congress since. When I was in congres—the last congress—I first heard of the bill when it was read from the clerk's desk, and, singular as it may seem, I was the only man in tbe house who opposed its passage. It struck me at the first glance that it was a dangerous bill, as it might be construed to deprive all others than the attorney general o£ the right to bring suit to annul patents." STRUCK OIL IN EGYPT. The English Will Take Renewed Interest In the Soudan. MINISTERS' SALARIES. London, March 38.—The discovery In upper Egypt of petroleum in paying quantities has developed an oil fever London and renewed agitation in favor of the reoccupation of the Soudan by the British troops and traders. The Suez correspondent of The London Times telegraphs that the discovery is one of the results of the explorations of Nubar Pasha's expedition to the Soudan. Subsequent to the finding of oil nsarSuakim, otjher portions of the Red sea coast were pro* pected, and examination disclosed nnmistalfable signs of petroleum at a very slight depth. The geological formation of the country is favorable to the existence of larger quantities at lower depths. Even under the existing n» Gospel Almost Free In Pennsylvania. Salaries to be Divided. The hole made by the collision -was so far over the side that the diver made nc attempt to get to it When an examination is made of this hole an iron ladder will be used, or the diver will be lowered over the Oregon's side with a rope by another diver on the steamer's deck. PhiljlDXLKHIA, March 28.—In the Philadelphia conference Rev. ELD. Pepper was appointed editor of The Christian Standard. Debate on a resolution introduced by Presidng Elder Crouch, urging an earnest and determined effort to raise $4,000 for home millions and sustentation this year, elicited some interesting information as to condition of poorly paid ministers. Mr. Crouch knew of pastors who supported wives and children on $900 a year. DOING POLITICAL WORK, that that action was sanctioned by the secretary of the treasury at the tjpie, who well understood the object of the visit. Mr. Colquitt read from a report as to another officeholder, showing that he was found short over $500 in his money order department, and had not one cent wherewith to this shortage. This deficiency eras from the use of the money for the private business of the officeholder. He had also exchanged postage stamps for merchandise..While the diver was below last Thursday, the ship rocked from side to side and a swift current was reported sweeping from east to west This shows that the Oregon has not begun to "sand in" as was predicted, bat is probably lying on an uneven bottom. LOGAN'S ARMY BILL. Rev. William Sivendells was amaaed that •ome pastors were able to pay their debts. Be knew of pastors who support families and keep horses and carriages on $400 a year. Rev.JW. S. Thomas told of a minister, the members of whose family live on a par capita ot four cents a day. The diver returned to the Rescue with Mrs. Morgan's sachels, which were locked, as was the trunk. The leather on theee was wrinkled and furrowed, and the brass frame of the trunk was bent in and out All were marked "E D. M." On making harbor Friday the sachels, which were described by Mrs. Morgan in a telegram to Fire island, were taken to New York unopened by Agent Seymour, of the Merritt Wrecking company. The leather trunk, which is in a much battered condition, is still on board the Rescue. unfavorable condil ery, etc.—attending the development of the single well near Suakim, the yield is about two tons per day. The oil htt a specific gravity of 0.880, and the territory in whict undoubted evidence of its presence ha* been found is easily accessible from the coast machin- The Heuoni Why He Think* the Army Should be Increased. Mr. Logan inquired if that officeholder was suspended: Washington, March 28.—Mr. Logan's bill to increase the efficiency of the army was taken up. "No," replied Mr. Colquitt, "but he will be suspended if you will give the assurance that the substitute for him will be confirmed." This was regarded as a questionable statement by a delegate, but Mr. Thomas insisted that it was true. But for a feeling of delicacy he would mention the pastor's name. Mr. Hale moved to strike out the section providing for a force of 30,000 enlisted men. He could see no reason for an increased army force except because of Indian troubles. He read from the report of the present secretary of war the statement that the Indian was no longer a source of danger, and he did not think the secretary of war or the lieutenant of the army desired the increase, and besides adding 6,000 additional men to the army meant an annual increase of five million dollars in the army appropriation bill Mr. Logan-iuquired if the paper Mr. Colquitt had read from was a record. Pittsburg, March 28.— After hard work yesterday morning, the flames'wers extinguished at the burning gas well at Murraysville. A huge smoke stack waa erectsd orst the well, through which the flames naturally rushed. This stack was suddenly upset, cutting off the current of gas for an instant, and the flames were extinguished. Mrs. Harry Taylor, one of the victims, is still living, with scarce a chance of recovery. In event d recovering both her arms will hare to b* amputated. The Gas Fire Extinguished. Mr. Colquitt replied "Yes." It was finally resolved that each mini, m receiving $1,000 a year or over shpuld contribute 8 per cent, of his salary to the support of the poorer pastors. Mr. Logan asked whether it was from the tpostoffice department. Mr Colquitt said it was, and that it was ■open to any senator applying to see it Among the other articles picked up is a large tin case four feet square, filled with kid gloves. It is dented and battered. While the wrecking schooner was at the wreck the tug cruised about for several miles and took soundings, keeping a small grapple towing astern. It was hoped that some flotsam from the mysterious schooner would be found, but nothing was seen of her. THEY ARE ALL PARTNERS. Mr. Logan was struck, he said, with the strange foct that records could be furnished individuals for some senators to make speeches on, but could not be furnished when called tor uv a resolution of the senate. Mr. Hoar inquired whether the facts were that'papers of this character were furnished wlfen the officials were guilty and not when they were innocent A Mew York Clothing Home Will Share Profits With Its Men, Mr. Logan said if Mr. Hale could get a letter from Gen. Sheridan or Gen. Sherman or any leading army officer stating that 25,000 men were enough for our army, he would withdraw the proposition to strengthen the army. He knew leading officers favored the increase. The proposition to increase was not because of any apprehended danger, but because the government should have an army of respectable size. Our officers, Mr. Logan said, were almost ashamed to bring their companies out in the presence of the American people. No officer could be proud of twenty men unless it had been reduced to that number in battles. New York, March 83.—At a banquet given by Rogers, Peet & Co. to their employes Mr. Chambers gave the cause of good fellowship* a big lift when he said, during hie welcoming speech, that each employe of the firm had been taken into partnership at thi beginning of the year, and then made this explanation; Agent Seymour returned to the tug. and will start for the wreck again as won as the weather will permit The rain cleared away, but a heavy aea is beating on Fire Island beach. The northerly wind now blowing will knockthe sea down and the tug, with the schooner in tow, expects to leave soon. There are three divers and forty wreckers on board. Mr. Seymour says positively that there will be no effort to raise the steamer. The object of their work is to determine exactly the size and condition of the hole in the Oregon's side and secure what they can of her cargo. j New Jersey Chancery Court. f Trenton, March 88.—The chanoerjrfcourt yesterday ordered the sale of tbe $3,000,00(1 securities pledged by the Reading company in 1883 to secure payment of Jersey Central'! Mr. Colquitt had no doubt the senator could AN INNOCENT MAN PUNISHED. OCT PAPERS OF BOTH CHARACTERS, ▲ Deathbed Confession Glean Edward As for the details of our plan, the purpose is to set aside a certain per centage of our net gain as ascertained at the end of the. year, and with that sum declare a dividend upon the total amount of wages paid to those who work under our own roof—whoever hat earned even so much as a week's wages will participate—provided he or she was not diseluu-ged for cause. Upon the basis of our last year's business you would have received nearly 6 per cent upon the total of your year's earnings. In other words, the man who drew (90 pei week, or #1,040 during the year, would have bad a check for nearly $50.

If anything is made, whatever it may amount to, your share shall be faithfully distributed—you can trust as for that. indebtedness existing prior to the lease to Beading. Mr. Oowen will try to hare the receiver hold the securities awhile. If there were such papers in the department and the senator would ask for them. Lashway. Mr. Hoar asked on what principle the papers were given to a senator and denied tp i Ik* resolution of the senate. Glens Falls, March 23.—In November, 1881, William Shaw, alias "Buck," and Edward Lash way, both of this place, were sentenced to Dannemora prison by Judge Davis, now deceased, for a term of ten years. The crime charged was assaulting and robbing on the highway one Ahyette of $19. Both men protested their innocence, Lashway protesting amid tears that he was innocent of any connection with the crime. About six weeks ago Davis died in the prison hospital. Before his death he made a confession, in which he declared Lashway innocent, and that Ahyette was robbed by a notorious woman of the name of Fleming, now living in Saratoga, who was in company with him on the evening of the robbery. Verdict Against a Clergyman. D ( « Nashville, March 23. —In the suit of Mis Tabitha Stevens against Rev. Goodloe Woods, of Fayettville, the plaintiff was awarded •5,000 for seduction. Mr. Colquitt asserted that no senator had been refused access to the papers. The department had, however, refused to give them In response to a call, as a matter of right, by fee senate. BASEBALL QUARRELS. Hempstead, March 23 Mrs. Morgan was seen at this place on her return from New York, where she had been to get her diamonds. She said that they had been returned to her, but that she knew nothing of the circumstances of their recovery. A Sentence Confirmed—McKnlght Will Gen. Naglee Burled. Mr. Hoar said this was the first time he had heard of the consent of the departments to exhibit them to anybody oicept to the Maters on the Democratic Side. and Mr. Hoar had heard of a good many refusals.

A telegram was received from ex-President McKnight, refusing to surrender his official position. The association then telegraphed him a formal request for the immediate delivery of all papers, books aid accounts, threatening legal proceedings. The courts will probably settle the matter.
