More Mexican Troubles Commu nists Driven Oat The London Times on the Ministry Finances on the Continent Property Received from a Wreck. RAGU33A, March 31. The Prince of Montenegro permits the revictualling of Nicsic, through hia territory daring the truce. Washington, March 31. A special from Brownsville says: "Last night, the men on guard at Casa Mata, in Matamoras, deserted to Diaz. An at tack is expected to-night. There have been several arrests for refusal to pay the forced loan." Paris, March 31. Seven Commu nists refugees have been ordeied by the German authorities to leave Al sace and Loraine. London, March 31. The Times this morning hopes that the ministry may yet be better advised than to persist in recommending to the Queen the as sumption of the title of Empress of India. It declares that it has been unfeignedly alarmed by the rapid de cline in authority and reputation of the Government since tno beginning of the. session. It does not pretend to any special affection f r the ministry, but it cannot help seeing that the op position is thoroughly disorganize d;tha the energies of its older members are exhausted, while the younger men are chiefly remarkable for immateriality, and lingering which threatens never to ripen, and any attempt to form a government out of snch materials, would threaten mischief to the coun try. Even those who think its fears anciful and over-strained, must hesi tate to press this new title forward, when they understand it does in fact provoke discontent. gJThe Times in its financial article says: "The best private information we can obtain says that financial cir cles on the continent have no bolief in or apprehension of immediate trou bles in Eastern Europe. Perzatic, March 31. Fifty thousand dollars were recovered from the wreck of the German steamer Schiller, to. day. MASSACHUSETTS. The Dam Broke No Lives Lost. Worcester, March 31. The dam has broken, and several mills and many houses were swept by the flood which reached down the ravine 20 feet high, in a solid mass. The narrowness of the ravine emptied the reservoir gradually, requiring three hours to ex haust it. No lives were lost. FLASHES. Providexce, March 31. Four of the 16 boilers on the Fletcher Mill, ex ploded to day ; two were killed. San Francisco, March 31. Child & Paguss, prominent stock brokers, have failed. Chance beat Katie Pease in the mile and half daeh for $1,000; time 2.24 . St. Louis, March 31. Rudolph Adry- er, absconding cashier, with $50,000 of the funds of the Farmers' and Traders Bank, has been arrested at Austin, Texas. Mid-Night Dispatches. V EATEIR I ECE ABILITIES. Washington, March 31. For the South Atlantic States, in creasing cloudiness and warm easterly to southerly winds, rising barometer in the northern portion, and possibly rain by Saturday eveniog. WASHINGTON. News and Gossip More Frauds Be ing Unearthed Add itional Evi dence of Babcock's Crookedness- Congressional Proceedings. Washington, D.C., March 31. Bent ley, the new Commissioner of Pen sions, has assumed his functions. Sherman and Taft had a long per. sonal interview to-day. The Treasury received a hundred thousand of silver from California to day. The President had an interview with several Senators to-day. The Post Master General was absent from the Cabinet to-dav on account of rheumatism. Nomination : Stephen B. French, Appraiser of Merchandise at New York. f Schenck's cross examination is mere ly a repetition of the direct evidence. When Bruce Aonbfudedt his speech of nearly an hour, he wa3 congratula ted by both Democratic and Kepubli can members. His main points were that the outrages an the State were the work of the White League, a small minority of the Democrats, and that peace wbdrdertainly come when the negro vote was divided. A bill legalizing Par ton's marriage with his step-daughter, has passed the Massachusetts House by 91 to 86. In the War Department investiga- C. S. Bell, of Jackson, Mis3., testified hat Belknap asked him if he could pay $2,000 a year for a post tradership, for which Bell made personal applica tion. Bice was appointed a Secret Detective. His duties were in St. Louis, to look up pension frauds. Be was employed by Luckey to look in District Attorney Dyer's hands and see what evidence they had against Babcock. He took hold of it surrepti tiously, and reported to Luckey in November last. He told Luckey the evidence against Babcock was weak. He read over a great many papers in the case in Dyer's office. Dyer did not know he was Luckey'e agent. Subsequently I took measures to in form the President that Babcock was guilty because the President told me if Babcock was guilty he wanted to now it. He was then dismissed. A C Bradley, who was also in Babcock's interest, told Bell to get the papers from Dyer's office, arid destroy them. Luckey had told me to act under Bradley's orders. I met Babcock and he told Bell that he must get all the papers; a part would do no good. He told me if I got the evidence I would Iq well rewarded. Bell was to be ap pointed special agent by the Attorney General. He had a card from the President to Pierrepont saying: "This is the man of whom I spoke." Did not get the appointment. Dyer told Pierrepont he would not allow me to work in his office, because he had an idea what I was coming for. Corres ponded with Luckey in cypher. Bab cock repeatedly said there were tele grams in existence which if the prose cution got hold of he could not ex plain. Bradley paid him sixty and Babcock one hundred dollars. He was not employed for any other pur pose than to prevent the conviction of Babcock. The President, however, did not so understand it. He told Bell in the start if General Babcock was guilty, he wanted to know it. Attorney General Pierrepont was averse to his going to St. Louis, play ing spy on Dyer. The President want ed him to find out whether Babcock was guilty, but Luckey, Babcock, Bradley and Storrs, wanted him to de stroy all the evidence to be found of his guilt. C. A. Bradley is the brother-in-law of A. R. Shepherd. Secretary Chandler knew what Bell was to do before he started for St. Lou id. House. The Committee on Ways and Means reported a bill for separate entry of express packages, contained in .one importation. Passed. The same committee reported a bill to de fine the tax on fermented and malt liquors. Passed. Also directing the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to fix places when Collectors and Su pervisors of revenue shall hold their offices; passed. Senate bill making the 14th of April a holiday in the Dis trict, passed. A bill appropriating $163,000 for Printing and Engraving, with amendments substituting silver coin for fractional currency, passed, 132 to 100. It directs the Secretary to issue silver coin for the redemption of frac tional currency. The coins of a dollar shall be legal tender for fifty dollars, and small silver coin shall be legal tender for sums less than twenty-five dollars. The night session gave way to the caucus to-night. Adjourned. Senate Various petitions were in troduced against a change in tariff. The Mississippi investigation resolu tions were resumed. Key, of Tennes see, was the only one of the Democrats who voted for the resolution. He was glad the late war was fought out, and was over with. The South was not wholly to blame in the war. The flames existed many years ago, and were protected by theConstitution He spoke highly of the colored people, and their fidelity to the whites during the war, and thought the people of his State were willing to protect them and aid them. The South was poor and weak and wanted peace. It was time to forget that there was a South or a North. The war was over and the con querors had a right to enjoy the results of their victory. He was willing to ad mit that the terms granted by the vie tors were much more liberal and mag' nanimous than he expected. He was anxious to have the South acquiesce in the result, and accept the situation. Could not the North be asked to bear with them and help them to overcome their past difficulties and make this a land of peace and prosperity ? He should vote for the resolution, even if he thought he should be the only mem ber of his party to do so. If this state of affairs existed, the parties ought to be punished, and he did not wish to have it said that he was in favor of pro tecting them ; but he did not think the reports -were true, yet he was willing to have the subject investigated. The speech throughout was highly concilia' torv and dispassionate. After further debate Christiancy's substitute was adopted, "Zi to IV: . The'" New York World says : "Mr Rarnnv WilliRmH the comedian, is con fined to his bed, suffering from a severe attack of an old sninal disease. He is unc6nscious part of the time, and was sinking rapidly SatHrday. He is thought to be in a very dangerous con dition . though it is believed he may f r x linger wxr some time. MISSISSIPPI. Republican Delegate's to Cincinnati Uninstructed Caucus Progress ing. Washington, March 30. Private dispatches from Jackson, Miss., states that the Conyention to send delegates to Cincinnati, did not instruct them. The Democratic caucus is progressing. The Mexican revolution seems to be prospering. The insurgents have taken the town of Jalapa. occupy the Vera Cruz region, and are said to have obtained control of the railroads lead ing to the capital. Military success in Mexico is even more admired than in this country. The triumphant soldier is either considered the best man for the highest place, or perhaps the peo ple do not think t worth while to op pose him. As in Spain, the possession of the government seems to be decided by an appeal to arms, and to the vic tors literally " belone the spoils." The Mexican Coagress is about to meet, and it is thought not improbable that the insurgents will be welcomed to the capital as public benefactors, and the present executive be compelled to fly for his life.
