"THE rejection of the Nicaraguan treaty by the Senate," says a Washington corre­ spondent, "was not a surprise to thoso who have known something of the de­ bates in executive session. But it was sore disappointment to the State De­ partment and to Mr. Edmunds, who appears to have had his heart set on ratification. Doubtless Mr. Blaine helped to put a few stumbling blocks in Mr. Frelinghuysen'a way, but the most serious opposition that Edmunds encountered in trying to drive the treaty through the Senate came from John Sherman. Mr. Sherman had made a study of the question for years, and had fortified himself with a mass of facta and arguments that could not be met by friends of the measure. All accounts of pro­ ceedings in executive session agree in pronouncing Mr. Sherman's speech the ablest effort on either side of the question. Mr. Edmunds attempted to meet him with fine-spun legal sophistries and technicali­ ties, but could not break the force of Sher­ man's blows. Mr. Sherman carried with him half a dozen Republican votes which, added to the almost 6olid Democratic vote, prevented Mr. Edmunds from getting two-thirds for its ratification. Mr. Edmunds had a few Demo­ cratic allies led by Morgan, of Ala­ bama, but, under Mr. Bayard's able leader­ ship. the large majority of the Democrats stood firm against the treaty.

Adverse reports of the Committee ou Organization caused an exciting scene. The majority want­ ed ex-Gov. Gmnt for Chairman, while the minority reported in favor of ex-Senator Tabor. After contin­ ued yelling and shouting a delegate nomi­ nated ex-Gov. B. H. Elton as a compromise candidate, and he was unanimously elected. The convention passed resolutions demand­ ing free and unlimited coinage of white and yellow bullion, and th^vithdrawal of small notes. At a conference at the Treasury Dep irtment in Washington with three New York bankers^ it was agreed that there is nothing to justify the depreciation in the value of silver certific )tes. The National Board of Trade passed a resolution urging Congress to repe tl the law for compulsory silver coinage. THE National Board of Trade, in session at Washington, adopted n resolution asking an investigation into the cause of the enormous waste of the country's wealth by fire. Mr. Covington, who offered the "reso­ lution, said there was not the slightest doubt that the annual loss by fire in the United States could be reduced from $120,000,000 to $60,000,000. The body adopted resolutions originating in Chicago, asking Congress to take measures to re­ move the discrimation made in certain for­ eign countries against American meats and to authorize the President to prohibit the importation of adulterated articles of food or drink.

The General says that the boomers at Stillwater were starved out They did not give up until hunger com­ pelled them to surrender. At the time of the capitulation there were only 156 men in the boomers' camp. Capt. Couch and his followers were escorted into Arkansas City by 3,000 citizens and a brass band. They were received with great enthusiasm. A large part of the land in Oklahoma was found to have been fenced in by cattle­ men, who were left in peaceable posses­ sion after the expulsion of the settlers. An Oklahoma Union was formed in Arkan­ sas City. , WASHINGI OK telegram to Chicago Trib­ une: "Mr. Evarts' election as Senator has set the Democratic leaders seriously to con­ sidering whether they can Bpare Garland and Bayard from the Senate. Both were considered booked--the one for Attorney Geneml, the other for Secretary of State. Curiously, though both were originally con­ ceded as eminently fit appointments, there is now fierce opposition to both. The op­ position to Garland is chiefly on the ground that he is a Hamiltonian, a Federalist in his const:nction of the Constitution." LAFAYETTE MELTON was hanged at Corning. Ark., for murdering Franklin Hale four years ago. Melton was one of a party of Ku-klux who whipped Rile to death for betraying the secrets of the klan. A MEMORIAL from a number of naval officer* protesting against the proposed resolu­ tion giving the thanks ot Congress to Com­ mander Schley and Lieut. Emory, was presented in the Henatc on the nit. It is nrged that the passage of the resolution would advance these officers one grade, and thnt their services in connection with the Greely expedition do nob entitle them to such marked distinction. Resolu­ tions providing that the two houses of Congress shall assemble in the hall of the Mouse Wednes­ day, Feb. 11, to count the electoral vote were passed. Mr. Hoar called up the bill for a settlement ot the subsidy debt of the Pacific roads, and explained at considerable length that the measure was designed by th; Ju­ diciary Committee as a fair adjustment with the present stockholders, only one-sixth ot whom can be classed as speculators. The Pacific Railway and interstate commerce bills were discussed at some length.

By far (he moat destructive and startling dynamite explosions thdt have yet shaken the city of London occurred on Saturday, Jan. 24. At 2 o'clock on the afternoon ,ot that day, while London Tower was crowd­ ed with visitors, that portion of the build­ ing known as the White Tower was vio­ lently shaken, followed by the wildest con­ fusion, amounting to a panic, sixteen vis­ itors in other parts of the building were more or less injured, but fortunately none fatally. At 2:1(1 o'clock two explosions oc­ curred, the scene being the House of Com­ mons and Westminster Hall. A lady called the attention of a policeman to a package lying upon the steps outside the crypt of Westminster Hall. As he picked it up and started out it exploded with terrific force, injuring him fatally and prostrating several bystanders. A great window over the main entrance was demolished and the side win­ dows blown out. Three minutes later an­ other explosion occurred, completely de­ molishing the lobby of the House of Com­ mons. As may well be imagined, these ex­ plosions created the wildest excitement in the great metropolis. Cable dispatches give the following accounts of this latest work of the dynamitards: All London is in a state of excitement over yosterday's terrible occurrences. Two explosions occurred in the houses of Parliament. One w*« in the strangers' gallery in the Hou*e of Com­ mons. the other in the crypt at the farther end of Westminster Hall. The tlrst explosion hap­ pened at 2:10 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and the second one three minutes later. Both houses wMre severely shaken, and considerable damage was done. The shock was felt at a greatdlatanoe, audits force was tremendous. The hollow, thunder-like noise was heard as far as Downing street, through all the din of busi­ ness and above the rattling of heavy wagons ill the city streets. Saturday being the usual vis­ iting day at the bouses of Parliament, the buildings contained a great number of sight- at the time of the explosion. Four persons were badly Injured, including two po­ licemen, who were fatally wounded. A lady who was in the hall espied an infernal machine lying on the steps outside the crypt of West­ minster Hill, and called the attention ot Police­ man Cole, on doty at the time, to It Offloer Cole rushed to the spot, seised the machine, and attempted to extinguish the fuse, but was not quiok enough. He tried to carry the parcel ont of the building by way of Westminster Hall, quick eno but the fuse burned so rapidly and closed so quickly upon the machine that he dropped it The explosion followed almost Immediately 1 knocked him down and in>ured him critl after. seriously. His case is oonsidered critical. Its foroe also knocked down two other police­ men standing in the vicinity, and stunned them. A lady and gentleman near the officer who had the package were also prostrated. The great window over the main entrance to West­ minster Hall was smashed to atoms and all the side windows were blown out One-half of the hall was wreok«d. The explosion in the lobby of the House of Commons occurred three minutes later than the one in Westminister Hall. It came from directly under the strangers' gallery and veiy close to the eeac usually occupied bv Mr. Bradlauah when visiting the House of Commons. The lobby was completely wrecked. Upon the floor the only seat damaged by the explosion was that which Oladstone pccnples. The gUlery was torn down, the Speaker's chair destroyed, and the massive stonework displaced. The force of the explosion was sueh that one man was blown to the earth 800 yards from the pofnt of the ex­ plosion. The dynamite whl' h caused it was placed inside the great ornamental gittes leading to the crypt under Westminster Hall. These Kates were blown clear off their hinges and thrown to the ground. All the windows in the north and south sides of the building were blown to atoms. The concussion shook down from the grand oak roof ot the hall a large amount or accumulated soot This In Its downward move­ ment made a dense cloud. Much damage was done to Che peers' gallery or Government side of the hoase. All the woodwork in that part of the building was shattered, and a wide hole was made through the floor. The gallery was displaced, and ean the solid stonework of the doorways was either pulver­ ized or shifted from its position. Every pane of glass In the house was smashed to atoms. Gallery benches were overturned and broken and the nlMf getaerally dismantled. Statufes of King William IV. and King George IV., iu Westminster Hall, were overturned. The explosions caused a panic among the visitors. Those who were in the House of Com­ mons fled precipitately, and many ladies were bruised and crushed. It is estimated, aooordlng to the course and energy of the explosive employed In the House of Commons, that if the House had been In session Gladstone, Sir William Vernon Ha»- oourt, Charles Bradlaugh, and 2»0 others would have been killed. Even more strange, If possi­ ble, than this is the fact that, under the same circumstances, neither Mr. Parnell nor any of his followers would have been Injured at all, tat recently they have been sitting on the opposite side of the houae, among the Conservatives, and the Tory quarters e-oaped almost undisturbed. At 2 o clock p. m. an explosion also ooonrred at the Tower of London, about two miles from the Parliament buildings. The attack was made on that portion of the building known as the White Tower. It was fairly filled with vis­ itors at the time, several of whom were hurt The building was not even seriously Injured. The police at once prevented all egress from the building. A large number of children were among the visitors. Many of these little ones had their faces and hands badly torn by broken glass and flying splinters. The most mteooa sight In the large crowd of innocent prisoner* temporarily detained within the Tower wails was afforded by these little oaes, with their palefsoee and bleed- ing beads. The scenes in and acouad the Tower are Indescribable Several children were among the Injured. Their pale faees, bloody heads, " and broken limbs roused the great crowd con-t/ to frenzy. Yells were heard on every side to "Lynch the villains]" and gregated in the viednlty Boast the fiends!" One of the most singular effects of the explosion at the White Tower is noted in the discovery that the concussion dis­ placed the great atone which lay over the tomb of (he nephews of Richard III., and exposed the coffins in whioh their dost lies almost in sight ot the spot where thtfr eyes were so cruelly put out and their young lives smothered. The news of the introduction in Congress of a bill by Senator Edmunds to prevent and punish dynamite conspiracies in the United States has had a splendid effect in turning aside the bitter­ ness of feeling against America which had been engendered by the explosions. When the contents of the dispatch giving the news were made known, a cheer was given for the United States. The Tories attach significance to the coinci­ dence that the outrages occurred ju^t after Mr. Pamirs inflammatory speeches at Cork. A correspondent sought an interview this evening with Gen. Sir Richard James I)acre. G. C. B., Constable and Governor of the Tower ot London, who said: "As a rule there are more American than English visitors to the Tpwer. In the winter, however, the proportion Is reversed, and this outrage was unfortunately >erpetrated in the winter. It is a pity that ;here were not some Yankees h"re to-day. If Mr. Lowell and a few more of them had bsen here, and had suffered, inmead of poor little children and women, perhaps the American nation would be roused to* join England in her attempts to crush this hornets' nest." The number of those injured by the explo­ sion is w follows: At the tower, six injured serlous'y and fourteen slightly; at the Parlia­ ment buildings, four seriously and ten slightly. The worst injuries were received by Constables Cox and Cole and a civil engineer named Edwin Green, who was visiting the Parliament build­ ings. Several people were arrested, them whom a Canadian, who gave a clear account of himself; also an Irishman named Dalton. Gilbert, or Cunningham, and a man and a woman who were seen to drive away at the time of the explosion at Westminster. All were released in the even- the poblle a s / - of nittera, „--, active members of the dynamite faction. fev»ml Important b&ildlnjra which h*vo hitherto escaped were, according to the mentioned letter, included In the scheme ot de­ struction. Steamers arriving at Britlali ports are subjected to a ntfnnce asaroMn order to prevent the Importation of dynamite into the kingdom. The Hamburg stsamers are espe­ cially watched. One man was arrested to-dav in connection with the e*ptos'0n at the Tower of London. He wss taken to Scotland Yard and examined, and will probably be charged at the Bow Street Police court to-morrow. The opinion Is generally expressed that the time has arrived to put some pressure upon the U> itod States Government to stop the operations of the dynamiters. Among the visitors to the Parliament buildings to-day were the Marouls of Lorne and tho Princess Louise, the Duke of Cambridge, the Marquis of Harrington, and several other Cabinet Ministers, and numerous mem­ bers of the Honse of Commons. Cox and Cole, the Injured policeman, have recovered sufficiently to make a statement. It is stated that the police found near the spot where the iirst explosion occurred an article of a peculiar nature, whioh they decline to <|sscribe. It,is believed that the article will furnish a clew to the guilty persons. Inspector Denning savs that on hearing the second explosion he ran rto the spot, and did not see a «oul in the place. The entrance was blocked b,- debris. He noticed a smell of sulphur and gunpowder. Cox and Cole, it is said, have furnished certain descriptions whioh will iead to inquiries that may resnlt in the discovery of the authors ot the outrage. Col. Ma;endie to-day made an inspection of the explosion at the Tower ot London, as well as the chaos would permit. The Martini rifles, which had been hurled from their stands, remained in confused heaps On the floor, and rendered im­ possible a hear approach to the exact spot where the explosion occurred. The scene will be pho­ tographed to-morrow. CoL Majendle says he is satisfied that dynamite was wed to cause the exnlos on. He says about four or five pounds ot the explosive properly compressed would only measure four or live cubic inches, and could easily be concealed in an overcoat pocket or In the folds of a woman's dress. The Tower offi­ cials believe a woman deposited the dynamite in the building. The police some time ago had reason to believe that a woman was constantly passing back and forth between America and England for the purpose of importing dynam­ ite. She was frequently watched, but evidence sufficient to warrant her arrest was never ob­ tained. The wreckage at the Parliament buildings and the Tower of London has been ordered to re­ main untouched until Col. Majendle has made a further Inspection to-morrow. Prof. Abel, Dr. Dupre, and other experts are assisting Majendle. A canon of the Catbollo Cathedral at Plymouth, in his sermon to-day, denounced the London outrages as the work ot American emissaries, whose object evidently was murder. It Is learned that a mysterious Irishman, who is described by the police as Cunningham, a'las Dalton. alias Gilbert, and who was arrested at the Tower yesterday on suspicion of having been concerned In the explosion at that place, has not been released. He Is still detained in the Whiteohapel police station. The guard in front of the station has been doubled, in consequence of the gath­ ering of an enormous crowd of excited citizens in l .eman streak, in the vicinity of the station. Loud curses and ominous threats are continu­ ally heard, and there is no donbt that a desper­ ate attempt would be made to lynch the prisoner if it were not for the presence of the police and the military. Cunningham will be arraigned at the Police Court In the Whltechapel road to­ morrow. An American traveler, whose name is not known, was in a train on the Northwestern Ball- way, going from London to Liverpool, when an excited dlscnsslon arose over America's respon­ sibility for the dynamite explosions. The opinion was freely expressed that the United States was greatly to blame for harboring such men as O'Donovan Kossa. The American de­ fended his country In vigorous language and was attacked by a crowd of passengers. The American drew a revolver and kept his assatl - ants at bay until the train reached Chester, when he Jumped from the carriage and escaped. Officer Cole nad several ribs broken, and Offi­ cer Cox Is suffering from concussion of the brain. It is estimated that a hundred persons were in the Parliament buildings at the time of the crime. Of the three clocks In the lobby the hands of the one over the entrance of the House of Commons w.?re blown ont one on the let t side own ont completely. The stopped; the third, on the ifrfred. Some of the win-right side, was nnlnftfi.... dowain Westminster Hall were blown bodily away, while others were riddled as with shot The only atom of consolation t > be found is in the fact that several of the stained windows survived the ordeal tolerably well. None of the Statues of the Stnart monarchs were Injured Several minor disasters occurred In the poets' corner, chiefly the breaking of glass. At the vesper service at Westminster Abbey the Con­ stables gave heartfelt thanks to God for the preservation of their lives in the dangers of Sat­ urday. Archdeacon Farrar yesterday denounced the aimless malignity of the outrages, which were conceived and executed by fiends in human form. He said that God had frustrated the worst results Of the conspiracy--so devilish that some of the blackest crimes in history paled before its Insane wickedness. An American lady, who with her father was sight-seeing at the Tower,, was overcome with fright when the shock occurred and went Into h^sterlos. Two yonng women most seriously hurt, who were taken to a hospital, are rapidly recovering. Other persons injured by the Tower explosion are only slightly hurt The uninjured visitors were detained until their names and ad­ dresses were taken. The man arrested on suspicion in connection with the explosion at the Tower of London Is described as an Irish-American. He gave his correct address. He had lodged some months in the vicinity of the Tower. He had £7 in gold in his pockets. He gave his name as Collingham, with alias "Gilbert^ and "Dalton." The explosive foroe found vent at the roof of the Tower, blowing out the skylights of thtok plate-glass. Tne explosion at Westminister wrenched off the Irish harp which forms part of the ornamental work on the panels of the Com­ ing but Cuningham. n inspection of the Parliament buildings to­ day showed that, excepting the beautiful win­ dows overlooking the stairoasc at the south end of Westminster Hall, scarce a pane of glass es­ caped destruction. The foundations of the buiidiiDKH were oiuly shaken. The tiooc of the Honse of Commons presents a strange spectacle being covered with heaps of massive fragments. The west end of Westminster Hall is full of wreckage caused by the explosion. It in be­ lieved that one of the conspirators entered the crypt, passing a polioemaq at the entrance, and deposited the infernal machine at the bottom of the steps. The policeman removed the parcol, which exploded, making a hole in the floor three feet in diameter, twisting the iron raiUncn and smashing the Iron and lead work of all the windows in the hall. The policeman's hair wan ringed and his face burned. The clothing was torn from his body by the force of the explosion. He is still alive, but no hops is entertained of his recovery. Temporary repairs had been ordered to allow the HouHe of Commons to meet Feb. 10. Stricter regulations with regard to the admission of visitors have been ordered to be taken in the future. The policemen who were on duty at the entrances to the Parliament buildings yes­ terday state that they examined the par­ cels ot all visitors on that day with­ out discovering anything of a Husplclous Character, and that nobody cr.rrvintr a parcel like the one described as containing an explosive was s?en to enter the baildiug. osrt'la bill involve* oertatn aocreitons and marsh li in rwpwt to whksh taereisno craiiioting eiaim, Mi- uiiwyc-i- ige$es$ea.jh JMM from U&fm fifty iron mining companies against the Spanish treaty.

There Is much rejoicing over the fact that tho downward foroe of the dynam­ ite failed to reach the gas-meter of the Honse of Commons, which is directly be­ low the ventilating chamber. The latter was badly damaged. The latest Inspection shows that the damage has been much greater than at first reported. Half the length of the front op­ position bench was torn away. The magnificent window in the south of St Stephen's porch can be restored, complete copies of the designee having been prss >rved. Mrs. 1'arnell Speaks* [New York special.! Mrs. Delia S. Parneli, the mother of Charles Stewart Parneli, was found at the residence of a friend In this city this evening. When asked her opinion of the dynamite ex­ plosions in London on Saturday, she said: "I am not prepared to give an opinion, for I do not know the causes that led to the explosions, nor do I know whether they were caused by Irishmen. It does not seem possible to me that Irishmen could have been the perpetrator?" ot anything so dreadful, for as a race tuey are warm and even tender-hearted, and are quick to forgive a wrong. It is true they have suffered much from the un­ natural laws of England, but I do not think that their sufferings, no matter how great, would cause them to retaliate in that manner. Dynamite Is a dreadful weapon, and people should be very careful how they handle it. It is a foe in the dark even worse than the pistol or the knife. It is Homething that you cannot combat against. It does not seem fair to me that such a weapon should be used against anyjjeople or any Government" "How will it affect the Irish cause?" inquired the reporter. "It will injure my son in his work," cho re­ plied, sadly. "At the time of the Phoenix Park assassination he was so discouraged that he was ou the verge of giving up. I do not know what he will do now. He has many constituents in England, sufficient to counteract what opposition exists against him in Ireland, and I am doubtful as to what effect this will have. The Irl li cause is a very mixed prol))em, but I hope it will eventually be solved. You will find that the Irish cause is the prologue of a general labor movement through­ out the country. I do not refer to dynamtt* It is the uprising of labor, and its Influence will be felt in tnls country as well as elsewhere." Opl tions on tlio Outrage. LONDON.--The cxp'osions yesterday caused the greatest excltcmcnt in Perlln, Vienna, Rome, and Paris. The Daily Neirs says edi­ torially that the damage done to the Parliament buildings by the explosions is so siigut com pared with what was intended that the at tempt may be looked upon as a failure. The choosing of Saturday, when the place was filled with innocent sightseers, is evidence of the diabolical cruelty. There can be 110 doubt that the dynamiters, if caught, can be lawfully hanged on the ground of high treason in levy­ ing war against their sovereign. It becomeH a serious question whether England will not join with Kuss aand Prussia in an extradition treaty. Even in America, where the greatest jealousy in relation to such a question ha< always existed, stepH have been taknn in the right direction. Commenting on the dynamite explosions the Daily Trh graph savs: "England cannot ex­ pect the United States to help in the extef id- nation of the dynamitards while the English Government 1* afraid to handle l arn< ll." The Standard Hays: "Knclsnd cannot lose Ireland, notwithstanding all the efforts ol the dynamltardp. Independent Ireland would threaten British steoiinty every day. These are not the deeds of an Enisnet or *• Fitzgerald. tirement of army officers who served during tbe rebellion.

Many a young man of to-day can rd* member the long curled toe/ steel run­ ner "imbedded in a solid piece of wood that formed the skate of his boyhood days. To the wood were attached the long straps and screw in the heel that fastened the skate to the foot. This skate, too, was guttered, and the fel­ low that had a pair of "smooth bot­ toms" -was the envy and wonder of all the other boys. The curly-toe gradu­ ally disappeared, the long straps gave olace to the double toe-strap, and the Heel-strap that with its harness rings always reminded one of a halter, took flight with the old wood-screw that used to be bored into the boot-heel. Other changes followed rapidly. Some bright skater concluded that better speed could be attained if less of the steel touched the ice, and the "rocker" skate made its appearance. Another happy thought knocked the toe-strap out in one round, and gave the steel clamps, tightened by means of a double screw and wrench, in place of them. A plate in the boot-heel, and a knob on the skate, said "good-by" to the heel-strap, and very shortly after­ ward clamps similar to those on the tOd tuuu6 tlio hsel cf thu sk< perfect. A simple turn of the wrist connected the two sets of clamps with a lever, and the skate was mad«.f-- Milwaukee Globe.
