Enter the Senate Defeated -The "Sixteenth
Amendment" Referred to a Committee.
Delegation of Tobacco Men Urging Cabell's Bill
The Einancial Question.
General News and Gossip.
Washixgton, Jan 10. The female
ballot seekers bad a discordant and
somewhat unruly convention, which
adjourned informally. Their pro
gramme for the day has not transpired.
A colored lady has turned up as dele
gate from Mississippi.
The House is unexpectedly quite
full. The committees were also in
session, but am notning. ine ways
and Means committee referred tha
question of relieving the savings banks
from taxation to a sub-committee of
five. The committee was full and had
colloquial discussion over the tariff
and revenue.
Over forty Senators were in the cham
ber before the Senate was called to or
der. A great part of the morning hour
was taken up in the presentation of a
arge number of petitions from vari
ous parts of the country in favor of
the adoption 01 tne sixteenth amend
ment, prohibiting States from disfran
chieing persons on account of sex. All
were referred to the committee on
Privileges and Elections.
NIGHT DISPATCHES.
Washington, Jan 10. House. The
first business m order this morning
after the meeting of the House was the
consideration of the resolution re
ported by Wood, of New York, from
the Ways and Means committee, giv
ing the various committees special
powers in regard to investigating the
several departments of the government.
Hale, of Maine, onered a substitute, a
resolution providing that such powers
shall only be conferred upon the com
mittees when specihe charges shall be
presented to the House in writing.
After a long discussion in the com mi t
mittee of the Whole, Hale's substitute
was adopted and reported back to the
House, but pending action the House
adjourned.
Washington, Jan'y 10. Senate.
Sargent introduced a joint resolution
proposing the sixteenth amendment,
which gives women the right to vote ;
referred to the committee on Privileges
and Elections.
Senator Kellogg introduced a bill to
improve the navigation and to afford
protection and security to the shipping
trade, commerce and allavial lands of
the Mississippi river.
Senator Kellogg also introduced a
bill to provide for a steamship line be
tween New Orleans and certain ports
of Mexico. Tr.is is the same bill that
passed the Senate in 1870, and again
in 1872, but was lost in the HOuse.
Matthews resolution to pay the in
terest and principal of the bonds in
silver was resumed.
Mr Beck, of Kentucky, spoke in
favor of the remonetization of silver,
though he did not favor the 'Bland bill
as it came from the House of Repre
sentatives. He thought the senate
committee on Finance did right in
striking out of the House bill the
clauHe allowing any owner of silver
buMion to deposit the same at the mint
to be coined into dollars for his bene
fit. He argued that Germany had de
monetized silver, and much of it was
for sale in that country at a reduced
price. Had this clause been allowed
to remain in the bill the German gov
ernment could bring bullion to this
country worth $46,000,000 and receive
$50,000 000 therefor. He spoke of the
acts of 1873 demonetizing silver as un
constitutional and vicious, and review
ed, at some length, the financial legis
lation of the government. Silver had
always been the coin of the country,
and the demonetization of it has de
prived the people of one half their
means to pay their debts. He believed
in maintaining the national faith, but
at the same time the people should
not be deprived of their legal and con
atitutional riehts
Mr Sargent's resolution, allowing the

amendment to the constitution, the
conferring the right of suffrage upon
females, to appear befogs the Senate in
advocacv of that amendment, was re-

Washington, Jan iu "-ine looacco
men from "Virginia visited the capitol
to-dav and conferred 'with leading
members of Congress from different
parts of the country in regard to the
nronosed reducction of the tax on
tobacco to 12c per pound. They were
kindlv received, and their views, as ex
Dressed by leading members of the
committee, made a mark d impres
sion. The bill idtroduced by Colonel
Cabell, member of the House from jth$
DanvillA (Va) 5 district, is strongly art'
yocated by them, and embodies the
legislation they seek at the hands of
Congress for the relief of the tobacco
trade. The drawback feature of the
bill is regarded by them as of para
mount importance. They seek imme
diate action by Congress.
Mr C H Conrad, a member of the
Danville delegation, received a dis
natch to day saving that leading Wes
tern tobacco men j "will be here to
morrow to cooperate with the Virginia
delegation,- The representatives of
the tobacco interest desire the bill for
the reduction to be kept separate from
the tariff bill. ; in order to -insurer the

The Times? Bucharest correspondent
telegraphs : "The thaw has commenc
ed, which, if it continues, will cause the
movement of ice in the Danube to re
commence, and make communication
more difficult than ever. It is utterly
impossible, now for horses and wagons
to cross. The Russian intendance de

The Russians suppress telegrams with

A terrible outbreak of spotted typhus

prisoners. It is whispered that it is
really the plague.
The Daily Telegraph' special from
Fera states that Mebemet Ali has gone
to arrange an armistice. The corres

ut i possidetis. A despatch from Con
stantinople to Reuter's mentions a
similar report current there, and that
military operations are ordered to be
suspended from 10 o'clock Tuesday
night, but Reuter's agent points out
that these rumors are necessarily pre
mature, since the miljtary representa
tives of the belligerents to conduct
negotiations had not then been ap
pointed. Mehemet Ali, who it was
stated had gone to arrange an armis
tice, attended the war council on Tues
day, and lefi- Constantinople Tuesday
night.
Constantinople, 11.20 a. m , Jan 8.
From the note of Earl Derby, British
Foreign Minister, to M Layard, British
ambassador here, informing him of
the Russian reply concerning the
armistice, the Porte inferred that it
had only to propose an armistice for
it to be concluded. Reouf Pasha, Min
ister of War,- accordingly telegraphed
yesterday to the Russian Grand Dukes,
proposing an armistice and announc
ing that the commander of the Adrian
ople army had the power to treat on
behalf of Turkey. Up to the present
time.no reply has beei. received from
the Russian headquarters.
