The Senate proceeded to the consid eration of the Senate bill for the for mation and admission into the Union of the State of Washington Xo b composed of the present territory if Washington and part of Idaho terri tory. : Mr. Hoar interrupted the readin of the bill and gave notice, at the re quest of Mr. Fry, who has the fish ery treaty in charge (in the absence of Mr. Sherman) that Mr. Frye would next Friday ask the Senate to pro ceed with the consideration -of the treaty and would urge the Senate to continue the discussion until ended ana then that a rote be taken with out further delay. When the reading 01 the bill was finished Mr. Cullom offered a substi tute for it, confining1 the area of the new State to that of the present ter ritory of Washington. The bill was discussed by . Messrs. Stewart, Vest, Blair and Cullom. Mr. Stewart, in explaining and ad vocating the bill, said the only con troverted point in the bill was as to the inclusion within the new State of a portion of Idaho (the portion known as North Idaho, or the Panhandle). He stated the reasons why annexation should take place. Mr. Stewart read a large number of resolutions, tetters and statements in support of the annexation of North Idaho, and said that nature had made these four counties (which are in the great Columbia basin) a part of Washington, but that in view of the suggestion that the majority of their people were opposed to annexation, the bill provided for submitting the question to them they being the on ly people interested. Without action on the bill the Senate proceeded to the consideration of executive busi ness and, at 4 50 p. m., adjourned. aopsx. After unsuccessful efforts had been made by Messrs.. Stahlnecker, of New York, and Burrows, of Michigan, to seoure consideration of bills for the erection of public buildings at Yonk- ers x., and Kalamazoo, Michigan, the 'House went into committee of the whole (Mr. Springer in the chair) on the tariff bill.

King Cotton was again making Northern dough-faces come to the front- The people of the West were going to remember this thing, and would see that tne soutn snouia not again sit in the saddle and dominate the Northern States, controlling leg islation in the interest of the South against the North. Mr- Townshend, oi Illinois in quired whether Mr. Bayne would be VilliDg to place all hoop-iron on the $ree list, and was answered by an em- fibatio negative. air. xownsnena suggested that there was a noop-iron k .nntiAm'.. a; trict and that therefore he was ar gHiing in the interest of a monopoly Which was levying tribute on every nest farmer. The gentleman said atly in his declaration that he would not put hoop-iron on the free list ; that lie loved tne men wno were en gaged in the hoop-iron industry bet ter than he did the men who toiled all day and needed iron to bale their hay Mr- Bayne inquired why the gen- tinman had not offered an amendment placing on the free list the hoop iron whicn niB constituents consumed in baling hay. Mr. Townsend replied that the bill, unlike the tariff bill of the Republi cans in the Forty-seventh Congress, wbicb had been framed in caucus, had bferi prepared by a proper commit tee; i it was not tne out-come oi cau cus action, and he had not an oppor tunity to amend the bill, such as the fentleman had had when in the 'ortv seventh Congress the bill had had been put through the House un der the whip and spur ef caucus com mand and dictation.

The greatest crowd yet assembled to witness court proceedings against the Burlington dynamiters was present today. Further examination of informer Alex. Smith was waived. Another sensa tion was sprung upon the defence this morning. John Wilson, one of the prisoners who was arrested with Broaerick and Bowles as an arch conspirator and as a Brotherhood en gineer, coolly left his seat in a group Of which Broderick and Bauerisen were members, and walked over to the side of the room where the pros ecuting attorneys sat and took a chair beside Dawes, with whom be began to chat in a friendly manner. Then it was developed that Wilson was not an engineer, not a Brotherhood man and not even Wilson. His name is J ohn Mulligan and he is a Pinkerton detective, and not only is this .the case but it appears he has had the confidence of all the prisoners and their attorneys. IV. C.

AsliOTllle Citizen. Superintendent V. E. McBee rivet the Citizen the following particulars regarding the railroad wreck on the W. N. C. road near this city on Sun day morning last, in which train-hand Harvey Carruthers was instantly killed, and conductors Winslow and Spaugh, and engineers Keever and Boone, were bruised up. The Captain said: "The accident was caused by the negligence of night operator A- C. Weldon, at Asheville Junction, who had orders for trains Nob. 13 and 22 to pass at that station. W hen 22 arrived Weldon lowered his semaphore and showed a white light, which indicated that the track was clear and everything all right. In addition to this precaution used by the railroad authorities to prevent such acoidents, all trains are required to register at Asheville Junction it being a junction point for trains on the A. & o. road. When Conductor Winslow and Engineer Keever went into the office at the junction and registered their train, they asked Operator Weldon if everything was all right. He told them "yes,'' and at the same time had orders on his table for them to meet No. 13 at that station. Weldon is an oper ator, a man of long experience, and understands train orders thoroughly, as he was at one time chief train dispatcher on the Richmond & Dan ville road. His negligent action in this particular cannot be accounted for. About one mile west of Asheville Junotion train No. 22 collided with train ;No. 13. Fortunately, neither train was running at a high rate of BDeed. and the engineers and firemen on both trains had time to apply their brakes, reverse their engines and jump off. None of them were seriously hurt, but all were more or less bruised up. Harvey Carruthers, oolored, was instantly killed by the timber on one of the cars. He had been for a long time in the service of the road, and was thought much of by his superiors. Both engines were badly broken up, but none pt the machinery was seriously damaged. Five tars loaded with coal and lum ber ware also badly broken'up. .4 COLLISION ON THE LOUISVILLE & NASH-VILLI-HUILROAD.
