Wabhihown, April &—In the senate yesterday the principal features of interest were the discussions on the bill reimbursing the depositors of the Freed mail's bank and the bill providing for the purchase of United States bonds with the surplus. The former went over without action. The Beck amea*- ment to the bond bill was paused, bat the final vote on the bill was deferred. Engineers, Firemen and Switchmen Decide That the Best Policy Is to Became Their Work—A Feaoefttl Atmoephcre and No More Trouble Apprehended. Chicago, April 8.—The Pittsburg and Fort Wayne and Milwaukee and St Paul men resumed their abandoned positions at noon yesterday. All the roads except the Burlington were soon running as before the strike. The Burlington switchmen will probably return to work soon, leaving only the Burlington engineers and firemen out It is surmieed that Powdsrly had something to do with the reoent action of the strikers. It is believed that he has told the Knights of Labor to keep their hands off. All the MtSSs commenced the interchange of freight with the Burlington yesturday. The Rock Island, which refused to ruoelve Burlington freight, is now handling it without objection. """* The strikers on the Milwaukee and St. Paul road returned to work on the company's terms. The force comprises about 385 men, and they were all given their regular places. The men who were doing their work were displaced, and returned whence they came. The Lake Shore delivered a large train of freight to the Burlington, at Sixteenth street. The incident created no excitement The freight was received and switched to a sidetrack without demonstration.

But the government having motived jfflciai intimation from Washington that certain article* at natural produce had been pnt on the free list, an order in council had bwa passed providing for a like action on the part at Canada, and a proclamation to this effect would appear in the next Official Gaxette. The alleged back down is creatine a lot oi excitement in official circles ho* It wai made, it is stated, as the result of a remonstrance to the Imperial government through the British minister at Washington against the unfriendly course of the Canadian government in refusing to abide by their statutory pledges to admit free into Canada such articles of natural produce as have been placed on the American free list. Notwithstanding the attitude of Sir John Macdonald on Wednesday last, when Hon. Peter Mitchell directed attention to their breach of faith and their protestations, that they never would be coerced ipto admitting certain natural products free of duty through threats of retaliation, the government has been compelled to go back on its utterance of last week. The interpretations based upon the standing offer clause by the minister of customs and the minister of Justice have been repudiated by their colleague* The Montreal Gazette, the organ of the government, went so far as to editorially denounce the Americans as "blatant demagogues," and charged the Liberals with seeking to promote the interest!) of the United States at the expense of Canada. The opposition will bring the matter up in the house of oommons this week. •mm Bmpww fndMiUk'i PIiyilcl»n». London, April &—With the single exception of La Justice, every newspaper in Paris has joined in the attack upon the ministry, tad by Ia Bqmbliqua and The Debate. The appointment of H OoLOoi. iu the ministry of foreign affairs to especially condemned, not that the gentleman leans toward measures of revenge, but because at his well known inability to control his temper. The concensus of newspaper opinion to that be is more dangerous than any other member of the cabinet, for, while the blunders of the pther can only cause lnoonventonoe and annoyance at home, the unogoclliatory disposition of M. Goblet will make the settlement of passing •vents with foreign countries extremely difficult, andpaturally still further impair the di|D lomatic position of France abroad. The Bchnaebele affair In the hands of M. Goblet, It to argued, would have placed France in great danger, if it would not have actually involved her in war. *AKlK0 POWDER Mr. Stewart offered a resolution, which was agreed to, direoting the secretary of the treasury to report what precautions have been taken to prevent the importation of lead and lead one from Mexico and Csoada in violation of the revenue laws, and what legislation to necessary to prevent such ainuggUng.Ob motion of Mr. Jones, of Arkansas, the bill (ranting to the Billings, Clark's Fork and Cooke city railroad the right of way through the Crow Indian reservation was taken up, and after some discussion passed, with an amendment that Bo part of the route should touch the Yellowstone park. BWJAjmr BBKW8TKR.  Mr. Brewster was a native of Balem oounty, IT. J., and his family Is one of the oldest in the United States. He was barn Oct. 18, 1818, and graduated at Princeton college in the class of 1884. His admission to the Philadelphia bar took place in 1888. In 1840 President Polk appointed him a commissioner on the claims of the Cherokee Indians against the United States. In 1809 he became attorney general of the state of Pennsylvania and held the position for a two years' term. All this time his private practice had been growing until it ranked second to none in the state. Ab p ISO! utel ure. 1h' p« wrt»r »i *t*r A w urv* o? \ Urfij* t'w jrt and »taoi««oiiM » tag.

There was considerable discussion as to the method of determining to whom the iponey should W paid, and defining the term "heirs or legal representatives." The bill went over until to-day without action. Several amendments were proposed to prevent claim agents absorbing the greater portion of the fund. The impression generally obtains that the lease at life given to the cabinet by Gen. In December, 1881, President Arthur appointed Mr. Brewster attorney general of the United States. He was confirmed, and served nntdl the accession of President Cleveland. His public services in connection with the prosecution of the star route men only proved, what needed no proof to those who knew him, the inflexible character of his will and his integrity.Boulanger—three months—Is a longer period of existence than it deserves, and much longer than it to likely to have. RotaL Bakino PD wdph Co., 106 Wall 8t, N. Y All the roads are now delivering freight to the Burlington, and that roa4 is receiving and disposing of it as Cast as possible, but not rapidly enough to prevent accumulation. The prospects are that the road will be blocked on acoount of inability to handle cars. The bi-metaiiio conference assembled at Manchester, with Mr. Henry H. Gibbs, formerly governor and at present a director of the Bank of England, in the chair. Mr. GlBbs, in his; speech on assuming the presidency of the conference, asserted that the foremost objects sought by the conference were an agreement between France, Germany and the United States to accept the principle of the restoration of a par gold and silver currency, the opening of the British mint to this species of circulating medium, and the fixing of uniform rates. Papers were read by Mr. Samuel Smith, M. P. for Flintshire, Professor Nicholson and others. Boston*! Custom Honse *tgaln. Boston, April 5.—The employes at the custom house had hardly signed the agreement to serve during the month of June at the risk of receiving no pay when the collector received a dispatch from Washington stating that, even if a deficiency bill be passed, it will not be sufficient to cover the salaries of the present number of employes, so that the absolute discharge of a# many men as possible ia necessary. General Manager Jeffrey, of the Illinois 'Central, said: "I promised the men in the event of a failure of the Burlington strike that none would be blacklisted. The men showed tip most kindly appreciation of the promise, and greeted me warmly when I had finished. I have received a telegram from Manager Milfer, of the St. Paul, stating that he is willing and glad to do all in his power to end the strike. The result is an evidence of the good sense of the men." The senate then resumed consideration of the house bill for the purchase of bonds with the surplus in the treasury—the pending question being on Mr. Beck's amendment requiring the secretary of the treasury to coin silver dollars to take the place of national bank notes retired. This amendment was adopted, after some discussion, by a vote of 88 to 18. Discussion then ensued on Mr. Reagan's amendment to buy bonds with the (100,000,000 gold legal tender  fund. Personally Mr. Brewster was a marked man wherever he went He dressed and lived in the manner of a gentleman of the olden time. But for the facial disfigurement by burns received when a child ho would have been a strikingly handsome man. His digni(g was always imperturbable. Mr. Brewster had been twice married. His second wife was one of the most beautiful women in Washington, and her death was a sad shock to him. She was a daughter of ex-Senator Walker, of Mississippi, but was a department clerk at the time Mr. Brewster married her. Bedneipg the Salaries. The Standard OH Trust. child has issued an order mating a considerable reduction in the salaries of fifty-one employes in the office of the supervising architect, by which the expenses of the office will be reduced $3,500 for the remainder of the fiscal year. The purpose of the reduction is to avoid a deficiency in the appropriation for salaries in the office. r, April tt.—Secretary Fair- Nkw York, April 5.—The annual meeting at the Standard Oil trust was held yesterday morning at No. 3%, Broadway. Reports* were excluded. It was stated, however, that with the exception of the election of four trustees, only routine business was transacted. J. D. Rockefeller, William Rockefeller and H. H. Rogers were reflected trustees foi three years, and O. B. Jennings was elected for two years.  The invitation of Emperor Frederick to Dr. Wolfenden, of Bolton, to visit Charlottenburg, has created a great deal of surprise, in view of the German opposition to Dr. Mackenzie, and consequently to all English physicians. It is presumably intended that Dr. Wolfenden shall remain in attendance upon the emperor during the absence of Dr. Mackenzie in London, and this assumption Is put forth as verification of the repeated assertions that Empress Victoria is resolved that her husband shall not again be left in the hands of German doctors alone. Dr. Wolfenden took his departure for Charlottenburg yesterday afternoon. Chicago, April 5.—Chief Arthur telegraphed to Chairman Hoge and President Sargent that he would be in Chicago on Friday or Saturday. He announced that he had no intention of resigning from the Brotherhood, and that he proposed to stand by the Burlington strikers until they succeeded in bringing the company to terins.

Senator Sherman then made a speech, charging the financial distress complained of by Senator Reagan in his remarks to the present administration, that had not executed a law giving it full power to use the surplus in the purchase of bonds. We Want the World to x Kno# It. A JUMP FROM A BALLOON, Aeronant Hogan Ascends 500 Feet, and Tliey May Dampen His Ambition Mow. Jackson, Mich., April 6.—Professor Hogan made a magnifioent leap from his balloon shortly after noon yesterday. The first attempt at an ascension was a failure, but the second effort was a success, and the air ship soon reached a height estimated at nearly 10,000 feet At this elevation the balloon seemed to stand still, and by the aid of glaaees Hogan ooukT be seen edging over the side of the oar. Suddenly a cry went up, "He's jumped I" and the crowd craned their necks to see the man dash himself to pieces. The parachute failed to work at first, and the daring aeronaut was seen shooting to the earth with lightning speed. A moment later, however, the umbrella shaped life preserver opened its wings, and Hogan's rapid descent was checked. From that point he dropped slowly, and reached the earth safely in four minutes, at a point about one and one-half miles from the city. The man dropped 500 feet be£pre his parachute opened. Then Lnnda Safely. Wheeling, W.

Newport gives majorities to only two candidates voted for, namely, Howard Smith (Dem.), for lieutenant governor, 14, and D. E. "Sonng (Dem.), for second representative, 56. The other candidates .receive less than majorities by from 87 to 74 votes, the Democrats receiving the largest vote in each case. The vote was the largest ever cast here, over 2,700. Lapham was about 65 and Rogers about -30 behind their ticket. The Prohibition vote of the city is 90. A majority of 518 is given for the suffrage amendment, though this one of the places most adversely affected by it There is no question that money was freely used on both sides. After the reading of the journal an attempt was made by the friends of the special order—the direct tax bill—to make an arrangement by which a final vote upon the measure would be taken, but Mr. Breckenridge, of Arkansas, objected. Prince Alexander of Battenberg, erstwhile of Bulgaria, is shortly to visit Chariot tenburg. It is well kno'ira that Prinoen Victoria, the eldest unmarried daughter of the German emperor and empresB, has for a long time bean enamored of Prince Alexander, and as the prince is an especial favorite of the mother and grandmother of the princess it is thought that Alexander's visit may result in •"wedding.

New York, April#5.—Henry Villard, the ex-Wall street king,'sailed for Europe yesterday on the North German Lloyds steamer Trove.

He fell to the ground exclaiming: "Pm cut!" and died shortly afterward. The night was dark and the assailant was not seen. Mr. Saunders came from Warsaw, Richmond oounty, Va., last August, and was a son of Dr. Saunders, of that plaoe. The senate resolved that in view of the gravity of the situation a too lengthy prorogation of the chamber would be attended with great Inconvenience. M. Meline, in accepting his election to the presidency, reaueeted the support of the deputies who had given their votes to M. Clemenceau, in order that he might overcome existing difficulties.
