IT was decided last week by the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, to which were referred resolutions in regard to the recent dynamite explosions in London, that it was beneath the dignity of the House of Representatives to assume that American citizens had anything to do with the traimes in question. POLITICAL. PRESIDENT-ELECT CLEVELAND was in consultation in New York last week with Democratic politicians, and many waited on him in the interest of cadidates for Cabinet positions. The President-elect, accom­ panied by Daniel Manning, visited Mr. Til- ilen at Greystone on Sunday. Two hours were spent at Mr. Tilden's dinner-table, and a longer period in his study. The follow­ ing is said to be the slate for the Cabinet, so far as now made up: Hon. Thomas F. Bay­ ard, Secretary of State; Abram S. Hewitt, Secietary of the Treasury; "VV. F. Vilas, Secretary of War; L. Q. C. Lamar, Secre­ tary of Interior; and Senator Jonas, of Louisiana, Postmaster General. SENATOB LAMAR called upon President­ elect Cleveland last week, and is said to have been received with marked distinction. Mr. Lamar says that he does not expect to go into the Cabinet, bubhis friends are con­ fident that in the unexpected event of Sen­ ator Bayard's refusal he will be Secretary of State. It seems to be an accepted fact that Garland is to be Attorney General. Mr. Cleveland is said to be most perplexed about the selection of a Secretary of the Treasury. SENATOB LAMAB says of the President­ elect: "Mr. Cleveland is plain and un­ affected, but he is a very superior man. He has a strong will, and is unassuming and fully impressed with the gravity of the po­ sition he is about to take. There is leally not a commonplace trait about him. I nad quite a long interview with him, but if he had made up his Cabinet he did not indicate the fact to me." THE Illinois Legislature balloted for United States Senator on Wednesday, Feb. 11, although no quorum was present in either house. The Senate refused to vote as a body.

After the cap was drawn over his face he still con­ tinued to talk, saying: "Good-by, friends, good-by. I love you, but must go." Par­ ker said: "It's mighty hard to die this way, dear friends: but I'm glad that so many of you are out to see me to-day. I hope that God has forgiven me for my sins.

Mr. Blair defended it on the aronna that the wont­ ing classes In this country should be protected against competition. The Hocking Valley troubles, he said, were due to the class'of people which the bill would exclude. Mr. ln- lialis said that it would ccon be neces­ sary to decide whether every one on the face of the earth has a right to come to the United States and do as he pleased to the detriment of those alt eady here.

The House of ltej rcsentatives passed a bill amending the Union i'nc hc act so as to al­ low the construction of a road from Sioux Citv weetwardly via the Niobraia Valley to a joint on the t nion Pacific west of the lodth meridian. The object of this is* to cut off the great bend made in the eastern portion of the Union Par- ciflc, and will, it is said, shorten the distance from Chicago to Han Francisco 2(0 miles. The bill does not grant any lands to the company to build the road, but does make the road, when built, a section of the Union Pacific, so -tar as relates to pro- ratine business exchange of IreiLiht cars, eta It is understood a company stands ready to be­ gin the building of the road at once.

Earle: Thy fight occurred near the Nile, a few miles above Dulka Island. The Arabs had forliiied a ) ass n d hud built a small fort on the left bank of the river. When Gen. Earle's forces reached tbe pass th*»y were subjected to a heavy fire from field-guns which the Ambs had placed in commanding positions. Gen. Earle liad no artillery, and commanded the troops to charge. It was more a scramble theu a charge, but the Ambs werj drive i from the heights at the point of tha bayonet, and fell back slowly toward the river. All that then remained to be captured was the little fort on the river bank. As the British column advanced it was met by a steady aud well-directed fire from behind sand and wattliiigs, which composed the Aiab fort, and many men of the attacking party were killed. Gen. Earle again ordered the men to charge, and put himself at the head of the column. He was killed during this charge. The fort was ultimately captured, but at terrible cost. The enemy was not great in point of num­ bers, but his position was very strong and' difficult of access. TheV fought with most determined but very. Gen. Earli was among the foremost in the attack, and his fall was the cause of deep lament rrom every effioer and man in the force. He was killed 011 the summit of the hills behind which the enemy was posted. At almost the same time Lieut. Col. Eyre was killed. The camp was captured by the Nineteenth Hussars. The English success was com­ plete. Ten standards were among the spoils of victory. The enemy's dead were lying thick among the rocks and in an open field where, when they found themselves surrounded, they made a desperate effort to rush through an English column, in which rush but few escaped. The Eiig.ish losses consist of Gen. Eirle, Col. Eyre, Lieut. Col. Coventry, aud nine men of the rank and file killed; four offi­ cers and twenty-one men wounded. Br-cnforcvintnitn.

In the midst of his talk he suddenly whispered that he had been selected by the Divine Power and by the oppressed tp re­ move President Cleveland.

I know even- inch of ground in Washington, and I was th'nkiDg that a good way to do would be to lay for him on the White House steps and shoot him, or to get behind his favorite seat in the White House and ctob him.

Large Number Seriously Wouuded. m » • • ' - - I C r e S t o n ( I o w a ) dlspcfA.f Jtn appalling accident occurred on the Burlington Bailroad at n small stream ten miles west of here this afternoon. As the New York fast mail approached the bridge a rail broke bene.ith tho forward cars of tho train. The rear coaches were thrown from the track by the defection. They top- Eled along oa the ties until they were on the ridge, when the two rear coaches and the sleeper careened and fell from the bridge into an icy abyss below, carrying down about twenty-five passengers' many of whom were women and children. The es­ cape from general destruction was marvelous, as the cars are badly wrecked and the fail a desperate one. The coaches fell bottom upward into the stream, crushed through the ice, and, wedging into the chilly water, were held until the front end of the train could be pulled out and a relief crew returned. ' Tho scene at the return of the front oars was distressing in the extreme. A number of gentlemen whose families were in the coaches, being forward in the smoker at the time of the accident, were apprised of the distress that attended the wives and children by the agoniz­ ing appeals for aid mid screams of pain that came from the battered mass of debris. A force of rescue was hastily organized, and, armed with axes, strong men hewed their way in- to the imprisoned dead and wounded. The scene inside of the cars was appalling. Mauy who were not killed were knocked unconscious by dismantled seats and debris, and lay limp and helpless. It was at first thought that the number of dead was very large, but on recovery from tne wreck, and 011 the arrival of medical aid, which was hastily procured by the compa­ ny, many revived and were able to be trans­ ferred to this city, where every attention is being shown them. The following is a list of the killed aud wounded: KILLED. --liobeit Brown,Mount Pleasant, Iowa. . Mrs. Powell. New Albany, Ind. • Mrs. W. C. Carroll, Saquache, Col. INJURED.--A. B.

Mr. Sherman's joint resolution nroviding fo; striking medals commemorative ot the dedi­ cation of the Washington Monument was passed. Consideration of the pension appropriation bill was resumed, and the amend­ ments suggested by the Senate commit­ tee were concurred in. The House bill repealing the pre-emption and timber-culture laws was discussed, but no action was taken. The House of Representatives, after the usual in­ dulgence in unseemly personalities, went into committee of the whole on the post 1 appropria­ tion bill, and defeated motions by Mr. Horr tor an increase in the items for postmasters aud clerks. The Treasurer of the Unit-id States, in answer­ ing a resolution of the House of Representa­ tives, reported that silver coin or certiticates have been tendered by the Treaeurv to the New York Clearing House in settlement of balances, as it is deemed inexpedient to force the ls-«ne at tbe financial center until the condition of the Treasury compels such step. MR. MORGAN, of Alabama, introduced a bill in the Senate, on the llth inst., to make appro­ priations for rivers and harbors, being the same as the House measure, with the exception of items for Galveston and Sandy Bay. A bill was passed providing for permanent reservations for the Indians ot Nortbern Montana The House of Representatives passed a bill for the erection of a public building at Keokuk, to cost $100,i.I00. When the postottice appropriation bill came up, in committee of the whole. Mr. Horr secured the adontion of an amendment increasing the item for the letter-carrier system to The two bouses, in joint convention, formally can­ vassed the electoral votes for President and Vice President. The certiiicatsg of the States were read separately and announced by Senator Hoar, as Chairman ot the Board of Tellers. After the reading, the tellers footed up trie figures and handed the result to Sen­ ator Edmunds, the presiding officer, who said: "Senators and gentlemen of, the House of ltepre- sentatives: The tellers have reported to the yre- siding officer the state of the vote, from which i". appears that Grover Cleveland, of tlie State of New York, has received 219 votes for the office of President of the United States; that James G. Blaine, of the State of Maine, has received 182 vote* for the same office; that Thomas A. Hendricks, of the State of Indian.-), has re­ ceived 219 votes for the office of Vice-President of the United States; that JUm A. Logan, cf Illinois, has received 182 votes tor the same office. Wherefore I do dec!a-e that Grover Cleveland, of th3 Stale of New York, has received a majority of the votes of the whole number of electors appointed, as they appear in the certificates read by the tellers, and so appears to have Iven elected President of the United States 1 or four years, commencing on the 4th dav of March, i»8.r>; and ' that Thomas A. Hendricks, of the Mate of Indi­ ana, has received a majority or tbe votes of tin whole number of electors appointed as they ap­ pear in the certificate read by the tellers, and so appears to have keen elected Vice-President ot the United States for four years, commenc­ ing on the 4th day of March, I88F>; and tho Pres­ ident of the Senate makes this declaration only as a public statement, in the presence of the two houses of Congress, ot the con­ tents of the papers open-id and read on this occasion, and not as rossessing any authority in law to declare any legal con­ clusion whatever." The Senate then returned to its chamber, and the House was called to or­ der. Mr. Keifer otTered a resolution reolting the result of the joint convent.on of the two houses, and declaring that it is tbe sense of the House tha* the constitu­ tion and laws have been duly executed, and that no further declaration of these tacts is necessary. Mr. Spriager said it seemed from the announcement of the pre­ siding officer of the joint convention that there had been no declaration of the vote. Contrary to all precedents, the Vice President had simply declared that it appeared from the count made by the tellers that Grover Cleveland received a certain number of votes, but had disclaimed any intension to make any official declaration ot tbe result of that vote. He (Springer) pre­ ferred that the matter should be referred to tho Judiciary Committee. Mr. Blackburn said the presiding officer of tbe joint conven­ tion, in making the announcement of the vote, announced the result that had been found, and simply added a disclaimer of any authority on his part, as presiding officer of the Senate or of the joint convention, to make any declaration at all. "I move that the whole matter be re­ ferred to the Judiciary Committee," slid Mr. Springer. "In the judgment of the Chair," said Mr. Blackburn. Sneaker pro tem. " the declara­ tion made by the presiding officer was exactly what it should nave been." Attar further debate Mr. Cox moved to lay Mr. Heifer's resolution on the table, as the Constitution settled the matter when it- declared that the person only receiving tbe majority of the votes shall lie President, and the democrats did not want the assistance of the gentleman from Ohio in electing their Presi­ dent. The motion to table was agreed to--yeas, 135; nays, 115. The scene in the Senate when that body returned to its chamber was in­ teresting. No sooner nad Senator Edmunds taken the chair than Senator Conger was on his feet. He said he desired to have put on record his protest against the declaration of Senator Edmunds in the joint convention. Senator Sher­ man said that without entering into any argument he coincided with Senator Conger. Senator Ingalls took the same view, and offered a resolution formally declaring the dissent of the Senate from Senator Edmunds' declaration. Senator Bayard objected and the resolution went over." Senator Hoar theu offered a resolution reciting the total of the vote, and declaring that nothing further wax necessary to make finally binding and legal tbe result of the count. This also went over under objection. Senator Edmunds waa evidently somewhat agitated bv tbe dispo­ sition to controvert his position. He said the Senate was in no way responsible for the declar­ ation male by him. He made it on his own re­ sponsibility. if he had exoeeded his authority, or had not fulfilled Irs duty, he would at once resign his office. A JOINT resolution authorizing the Presi­ dent to return the steamer Alert to the British Government, with thanks for her presentation, was passed by the Senate on the 12th inst. The bill to repeal the pre-emption and timber- culture laws, after tome amendment, was passed by a vote of 2t> to 20. The House of Representatives, in considering the postottice appropriation bill, struck out tho clause requiring fast mail trains reaohing Chicago during the night to start westward within an hour. The amount required for inland mall transportation was fixed at $14,010,uon, wiih an amendment giving 7(44 for special facilities on the trunk lines. Bills were passed limiting to $250,00<» the cost of a public building at Erie, and providing for the erection of a $900,0<H> structure at Detroit. 1 he President submitted to both houses a message favoring the additional reMrt ot *** A BATTLE IN TEXAS . .. *» w Between Rangers and Mexicans--Msmy Killed on Both Sides--Allege*!

A few days ago three Mexican Imrse- thieves were caught near the Springs by some of tbe rangers, and are alleged to have bee 1 lynched. Some mem­ bers of lhe band escaped aud were pursued. The Mexicans started for the Rio Grande. Sheriff Tomlinson joined the rangers with two of his deputies, aud fEfr pursuit was pushed with vinor. Thursday afternoou the Texnns overtook the Mexi­ cans, who had been heavily re-enforced by other members of tbe band, and by a score of Mexican fugitives. As only half of them were inonuted th »ir progress was slow. The rangers were all uruied with Winches­ ter rifles and Colt's revolvers, and were led by Capt. Shelley and Sheriff Tomlin­ son. They opened tire when within shoot­ ing distance, and at the first volley a half a dozea Mexicans fell, and those who were mounted put spurs lo their horses nnd fled. The otbeis returned tho fire of the posse aud wounded live. Will­ iam Marshal, one of the wonnded, has since di;>d. The Texans emptied their revolvers after their rifles were discharged, and tho result was that ten Mexicans M ere killed outright, and it is believed that fifteen others were wounded. Several of the wounded were captured by the Texans aud a horrible story is to'.d re­ garding their disposition. It is said that many were shot to death on the field.
