A News and On sebver reporter had an interview with Mr. Woinb'e yesterday morning and obtained all the points of the trip as far as ho went. He said that hia Bffprn deposition was sent wih ; tha remainder of the party and that t he Secretary of State did not consider it nece&sary for him to go in person. The party arrived in Washington Saturday morning and the Secretary of State and Mr. Busbee $pent most of the afternoon Saturday in getting the necessary pa pers ia due legal form. Mr. Woinble saysthat after everything was arranged the Secretary of State declared that all was gotten up in perfect legal jfortn and he did no: think it would be possible to pitk a flaw anywhere. It is stated that there was a large bundle of the papers. Chief of Po- ice C. D. Heartt was appointed a Special extradition agent.

Discussion was rife on the I treets yesterday as to the probable Outcome of the application of our of ficials to tbe Canadian authorities for the prisoners. Opinions on the sub ject differed widely. A remark was inade yesterday concerning the matter which struck our reporter as singu larly pertinent. A gen'leman re marked that the affair was unlike any other which he had ever heard of. The poodlers had not only disgraced them selves in the eyes of all honest peo ple, but also in the eyes of all rogues They have failed ineloriously in all (heir Echemes, and have excited noth ing but feelings of pity and ridicule. fr?e sentiment of the public mind has hot arisen even to the dignity of in ttfgttation. ; It ia simply a feeling of contemptuous pity. b' A telegram was received from Mr. roes last : night by a gentleman in jthis city, the contents of which were purely of a private nature and of no interest to the public.

Cornet obligato. i There wore interesting services at the Baptist Tabernacle, lnere was the large&t attendance at Sunday School in the morning ever known, and at the mo ning services there were eight accessions to the church. Tha pastor, Rev. G. S. Williams preached ; excellent, tvnuom both morning and night. Lirge congregalions attended the Evsler services in tho Church of the Good Shepherd yesterday. The chan eel presented a beautiful appearance. Tbo music was in keeping with the nature of the High Fettival of the Resurrection and some very fine bo leotion.s were rendered. llsv. Mr. Clark preached at both service3. The congregation at night was one of the largest ever gathered in the chuich. The Eastter offerings amounted to the handsome sum of $460. TLe morning ceremonies at Caris-t Church wre moat solemn rvnd impres sive. TLe decorations were excep tionally tasteful and the music was of the highest order. Rev. Mr. Weston preached at the morning services, his subject being : "He has risen." The services concluded with Holy Com munion. jEaster offerings amounted to over .a00. Very pretty iadeed was the festival eervioe oft ihe children of the Sun day fcctK'oj in the afternoon at Christ chuich. Tho day was an ideal Easter, to begin With. All nature was astir and biiyat with anticipations of the coming summer. The birds sang, the trees and shrubs unfolded almost visibly tuGir fresb green leaves, ethe rial mildness of the real poetic tvne was iu tho-atmosphere and every thing inanimate seemed to rejoice with humanity in the glorious mean ing of the Qaeeu of Feasts. The children, from the blooming luaiden and the youth upon the threshold of manhood to the merest tot in Greecawtiy gown and young ster still; ia dresses, evidently I realized the full importance of the occasion and enjoyed keenly every step itaken ia the order of sei vices prepared wirh special reference to themselves. They were charm ingly arrayed in the first fresh, beau tiful stuffs fend trimmings of the sea son and in their inuoent joyousness were a picvbro that was but enhanced in attractiveness by Ihe peculiar grace with Which children do every thing they undertake. Their per formance, uii to spea'i, was admirable. Not a flaw wai noticed in all their varied exercisea. Certainly the lady who, as musical directress, gave her timo kni a 'ten lion to their training, l.ts reason to be proud, und deserves mora credit than we know how to give for the result which she attained. And for the other ladies and gentlemen of the school, particularly for those cn'the several comjnittf es, wo hear words of praise on ill: sides. In providing pleasure for; the little ones they have given picaiuitj to mary of larger growth aud we are very happy as one of the lookets on at tho service to be in a position to Eay so. First came a processional hymn, as the hundred; and fifty children filed into the chhrch through the north door in column cf twoa, down the north aisle and to their places in thdpews, the body of which in! the nave f the church they occu pied. The procession was headed by color bearer Andrew Syme, who held aloft the beautiful tchool banner of white and Jgold appropriately in scribed, aud color guardsmen Duncan Cameron and Willie Smith.

As the motto was read by E5v:M-. "Weston, assistant rector of the parish, the class advanced .so the chaacel rail and made its bffeiiog, at the same time handing a floral letter to Rev. Dr. Mar shall, rector of the parish, who placed it on the horizontal piece of a six-foot cross standirig just within the chan cel rail an4 beautifully decorated with flowers.) As each class stood in the chancel ft verse of a hymn appro priate to its motto was sung by the children as a whole and when the last class had taken its place again in its pew it was seen that the letters on the cross fortned the sentence "Christ is Risen." This feature of the exer cises was a beautiful one and was rendered by the children, bless their little hearts, :(for most of them wer little and very little indeed) without a break or flaw. One little woman went to feleep under the in-; fluence of the music and the Boft spriDg weatner before the turn of her class j cama to make its offering aid the superintend ent would not have her waked.

The offerings made, the children were addressed in touching terms by Mr. Weston Then they sang a hymn and the doxology with spirit and heartiness, the benediction was pio- nounced, tlie procession was re formed, aad. filed out of tho church through the' south aisle and the north door, through which it had entered, singing an appropriate recessional. The sweet ypung voices of the chil dren were heard after they had left the church and died away in the dis'anco as the procession returned to the Sunday School building.leaving many almost vntmtears of loy in their eyes that they had been permitted to look upon such a beautiful exhibition of "youtn aevoieu to me Ajoru.

Mr. Berry'ij aciendiueut was agreed to. Several amendmen's reported to the Houao bill by te Senate commit tee on commerce were agreed tc. The principal amendment was to the third section. It was to striko out the santenco requiring the two mid dle or channel 6pans to be not le6s than six hundred feet in length in the clear and that no span shall be less than 450 feet in the clear and to substitute , for it a prov sion directing the Secretary of War to detail thieo army en gineer officers to examine the locality arid to repot t what should be the length of the epans provided that the main chaimol span shall be less than seven hundred feet in length and the other spans Zot less than COO feet. Also that ihe lowest part of the superstructure of the bridge shall be at least seventy-five instead of sixty-five feet above extreme high water-mark. Another amend ment was to add a new section repeal ing the Memphis bridge act of Feb ruary 26, 1885. The bill having been reported to the Senate, all the amend ments adopted in committee of the whole were agreed to ia bulk, except that offered by Mr. Berry requiring a passage way to be provided for wagonsj vehicles and fooi-passengers.

Af er considerable discussion Mr. Stewart withdrew bis amendment and expressed a hope that the mo tion to recommit the bill would be voted down. Without action o i any of the pending propositions, the bill was laid aside for the present. Mr. Riddleberger gave notice that he would tomorrow ask the Senate to act on the motion to suspend the ruleB as to executive Eessions, bo aa to have tho fishery 'reaty considered in open session. He gave this notice, be said, so i that there might be no delay or excuse of absenteeism, and also that thoso who might be afraid to vote upon it could absent themselves. .Executive session.

Mr: McMilhn, of lenneasee, on bubalf of the committee on ways and moans, "announced that the committee would seek to have the House con- sider the tariff bill two weeks from tomorrow. Tho committee had de termined upon this late day for the purpose of enabling the appropria tions committee to get its work for ward and into tho Senate as far as ni'ght be, and trusted that the busi ness wCthld have been so far disposed of that tho tariff bill could have an uninterrupted right of way.

Mr. lliormt favored the motion to strike oiit. The action of the commit teo on rules in ; doterminlhff the or der in which the bills reported by the judiciary committee should be taken up was entirely unprecedented.

T1IK MINORITY REPORT ON THE MILLS TARIFF BILL. Washington, IX C-, April 2 lie minority report of the ways and means committee on the tariff bill was drawn by Mr. McKinley of Ohio. There was but one manuscript copy of it, and that was hurried off to the printer without giving newspaper men an op portunity to Ecan it, but tonight proofs have been furnished to the pub lic. It is 7,000 or 8,000 ord long. Its opening paragraphs are as follows; The extraordinary manner in which this bill came to the committee and the total lack of consideration given to so grave a jneasure by those charged with its investigation demand notice and comment. It was fashioned outside , of the committee and reached : V, . not by reference of the House, which is the I. 1 1 1 , , . , usuai vuauuei inxougn wnich com mittees obtain jurisdiction of a sub ject. It was presented ready-made by the chairman 'of the committee, was framed, completed and printed wi hout the knowledge of the minor ity and without consideration or de cision in full committee. If any con sultations were had the minority were excluded. Thus originated, after three months of the session had gone, it was submitted to tho committee. Since there has been no consideration of it, every effort upon the part of the minority to obtain from the majority facts and information on which they constructed the bill proved unavail ing. The resolution to refer the bill to the Secretary of the Treasury for a statement cf ita probahJe effects upon the revenue, together with a statistical abstract which would facilitate its consideration by the committee and the House was voted down by a Strict party vote. The industries of the country Ideated in every section of the union, repre senting vast interests closely related to .the prosperity of the country, touching practically every home and fireside in the land and which were' to be affected by the bill, were denied a hearing and the majority shut the doors of the committee against all examinations of producers, consumers and exporters whose testimony might have enlightened ; the committee. Farmers, whose investments and pro ducts were to be disastrously dealt with, were denied an opportunity to address the committee. The work ingmen ef the country, whose wages were at stake, were denied an audi ence. Their representatives on the deeffjc j&i Tia (-uo yiu is overny a political one, believed to represent, so far as it goes, the views of the President ' and his j associates, a bill which, with the President's free-trade message, is to constitute the issue and be the platform of the party. This may account if or, but will not justify, this extraordinary course of procedure.. The minority protested without avail in committee, and now, announcing it to the House as they feel constrained to clo, accept tne . 1 , .11 . issue tendered Dy tne oui, accom panied with some of their reasons for opposing it and make their appeal from the ; people s; servants to tne people themselves. ) Tha Sew French Cabinet.
