BACI PXVKLQPSTENTS.Washington, Feb. a.—The committe on ways

and means to-day finished the hearing ou thoproposed redaction of duty on steel rails.Simuel M. Felton, president of the BessimerSteel association. was examined as follows:

Question by Conger—Do you know anything

about an association formed inEngland for thepurpose of influencingour tariff onsteel railsitn'.lother objects, and whether that associationhas members in this country.

Pelton—ldoa't know any of my ownknowledge. Ihive heard that there in such anassociation, but 1can't say pi sitively whethertherei3or not.

Conger— far p.s yon have heard, do youknow whether any members of that association.ire member; of Congress.

Kelton—Ilnow nothing about it.

Conger— youknow whether any memberof Congress was, at the time of this change inthe tariff, a member of tbe Cobden League,formed for the purpose of reducing duties inour tariffs!'

Felton—lhive heard tbat that was the ease,but 1have no knowledge of it.

Carlisle lunderstood you to Ray that theassociation of which you arc president has not

furnished any moneys to comimißats the Val-can Works at St. Louis for ceasing operations.

Felton— Nosir.Carlisle

—you know whether the other

mill owners of the country have furnished anymoney to compensate tha Vulcan Works?

Feltoc—Iwill tell .in the whole truth.

The fact is the works stopped in consequence oftheir inabilitytopay their man and ttei: hon-est debts. While they were in that coaditioasome uf the other btcel manufacturer of the

country took up the question in a pure busi-ness point of view, and they agreed to pay a

certain Ruin to the Vulcan works to enabletUem to tide over the then bird times. ToeVulcan w,>rks was under a n:ortj;a.;o of oneniilli.>:i dollars, the interest <>t which was about$711,000 a year, and they would have been soldat a sacrifice and the property scattered to thefour wind", of heaven if it hadn't been thatot er persons iv tbe same businesscamo to their relief and paid themabout 570.000 a ye.-ir, by which the Viilcinworks were abl? to pay interest on their mort-gage and to save this property and bo readywhen the demand for ht>'< 1 rails was greaterthan the supply, iiistart :ifre*h.

Carlisle—

Was itnot i> part of the agreementthat the Vulcan works should not operatewithin thro? years that they were being paid$70,000 byother mills?

Felton—No, they were to operate wheneverthe timecame in which the demand fursteelrails was greater than tha supply. They wereto be notified then that they would receive thismoney no longer.

Carlisle—

That is these other mill ownershave the ri^ht to notify the Vulcan work*whenthey may resume operations?

Felton Ye», and they have been notified.Emory A.Storrs closed the argument on be-

half of the steel manufacturers and againstfiepropuaed reduction of duly.

ENGLAND.

MEEXia OF I'AIILIAMKNr.LOBDOH, Feb. 5.— Weather to-day fine. The

royal procession to the parliament house tookplace in accordance with the programme. Thequeen arrived at the house of lords at tenminutes past 2. Upon receiving a copy of thespeech from Lord Cairns ,the lord high chan-cellor, her majesty handed itback to him and

Lord Cairns then read the speech. The cere-mony lasted fifteen minutes.

the queen's sriixcn.

The queen's speech was as follows:MyLords and Gentlemen— lt is with much

«atisf actionIagain resort to the advice and as-sistance of my parliament. Myrelations with

all the powers continue friendly. The courseof events since the prorogation of parliament

has tended to furnish additional security tothe maintenance of European peace on theprinciples laid down by the treaty of Berlin.Much, however, remains still to be done to re-pair the disorder into which tho late war hasaffected many parts of the Turkish empire. Aconvention for the suppression of tho slavetrade has been concluded between my govern-ment and that of his imperialmajesty the Sul-tan.

AFGHANISTAN.

At the close of your last session Ihad hoped

that the treaty of Gundamuk had happily

terminated the war in Afghanistan in con-formity with its provisions. My envoy withhis retinue was honorably received and enter-tained by the ameer at Cabul. While engaged,however, in tho exercise of their duty,he andthose connected with the embassy were treach-erously attacked by overwhclmiug numbers,snd, after a heroic defense, were almost allui.-iisa.crcd, an outrage so intolerable that itcalled for chastisement, and my troops which,pursuant to stipulations of treaty, eitherhad withdrawn or were withdrawing fromthe territories governed by the ameer were or-dered to retrace their steps. Tlieir ekill ex-hibited in the rapid march upon Cabul and inadvances upon other lines of action, reflectsthe highest credit upon the officers and men ofmy British and native forces, whose braveryhas Rhone with wonted lustre in every collisionKith the enemy. The abdication of the ameerand the unsettled condition of the countryrenders the recall of my troops impossible forthe present, but the principles on which mygovernment has hitherto acted, remain un-changed; and while determined to make thefrontiers of my Indian c:npiro strong, Idecireto be on friendly relations alike with thosewho may rule in Afghanistan and with thepeople of that country.

SOUTH AFRICA.

My anticipations as to an early peace in

South Africahave becu fulfilled. The capture-

filposition of the Zulu king andth<; breaking

np of the military«,rganization on which hisrlynaMy was based, have relieved my posses-sions in that part of the world from the dan-ger whicn seriously impeded their f.dvancementand consolidation. In Bazuloland a nativeoutbreak of considerable importance has beeneffectually quelled by colonial forces, whileTrannvaal has been freed from tho depredations>f tbe powerfulchief, who, having successful-ly resisted the former government of the coun-try, bad persistently rejected our at-

tempts at conciliation. Ihave reasonto hope that the time is now approach-ing when an important advance may be madetowards the eitablinhment of a union or con-federation under which the powers of self gov-ernment alie\dy enjoyed by the inhabitants of

Cape colony may be extended to my subjectsinother parts ot South Africa. The papers onthese and other matters willbe forthwith laidbefore you.

ESIIMATF.S.

Gentlemen of the House of Commons—

1have directed estimates of this year to be pre-pared and laid before you without delay.

AGBICULTrjHAI.,DEPRESSION.

My Lorda and Gentlemen— The commissionwLich at the close of the session IinformedyouIhad issued to inquire into the cause ofthe agricultural depression throughout theUnited Kingdom, is pursuing its labor?. Intie meantime the serious deficiencies in theus'iil crcps in some parts of Ireland has ren-dered neccsnary special precautions on the partof mygovernment to guard against tbe calam-ities with whichthose districts were threatened.WUh this view they have called upon thosechirged with the duty of administeringrel rt to make amplo preparations for the dis-tribution of fiod and fuel, should such a Btepbecome necessary, and they have also stimu-letcd the employment of labor by advances ontfrm3 more liberal than those prescribed by ex-isting law. 1 feel assured you willgive yoursanction to the course which has been adoptedwhen itmay have exceeded the power entrust-ed by parliament to the executive cf the gov-ernment. Aproposal willbe submitted to youfor providing the funds required for these ex-oeptional advances, on the security of propertyadministered by church temporalities.

1 trust you willbe able to resume coneidera-tion of the criminal code and of improvemoutof the law of bankruptcy. Bills will be laidbefore you forenlarging the powers of ownersof settled land, for consolidating and amend-ingthe lunacy laws, and for simplifying thepractice ofconveyancing. Icommend to youthwo acd other measures which may be sub-mitted for your consideration, and Itrust thatthe Llessing of AlmightyGod will attend anddirect your labors.

CORDIAL RECEPTION.

Lordi Beaconsfield and Siulsbury were notpresent at the opening of parliament.

The Queen's reception by the crowd in thestreets, was very enthusiastic. Seats to viewthe royal procession fetched heavy prices.There waa the usual search forGuy Fawkes inthe cellars of the House of Commons thismorning.

BELIEF FOR IRELAND.

Inthe House of Commons Sir Stafford North-cote, chancellor of the exchfquer, gave noticehe would movo to-morrow the adoption of a

billsanctioning measures of relief for Irelandalready taken, and for further relief. AlexanderM. Sullivan. Home Rulo membor for Louth,gave notice he would to-morrow move forleaveto introduce a billfor the better protection oflife and property in Ireland, by suspendingthe serving of writs of ejectment fornon pay-ment of rent.

William Shaw, home ruler from Cork, gavenotice of aa amendment to the address cecsur-ingthe government fur failure to take efficientmeasures forrelief of the distress in Irelandand callina upon them to act in that direction.The amendment concludes with a statementthat itis essential for tha peace and prosperityof Ireland to legislate immediately and com-prehensively oa question* relative to tenure,the neglect of which duty is the true cause ofthe constantly recurring distress in that part ofthe country.

Sir Stafford Northcotc, chancellor of the ex-chequer, replied to the latter spraker at length,criticising the opposition for its course.Speaking of the Anstro-German alliance, hesaid itgave great satisfaction to the govern-

ment, as it is likelyto be conducive to thepeace of the world. Her majesty's govern-

!ment, he said, had no wish for the annexationof Afghanistan. The government, heclaimed. had not b.en remissin taking what steps in Irelandthey thought necessary upon information re-oeivedj and he added that the governmentwould ask fora bill of indemnity for loansgranted. Ifthe object of Shaw's amendment

was to register a vote against tbe governmentit would not be right that he should offer it,

while he was ignorant of thegovernment \u25a0 pro-posals regarding Ireland. Shaw then movedadjournment of the debate, which wan agreedtoafter a desultory discussion inwhich severalIrish member* participated, as to whether Shawshould movehis amendment before or afterthe government's proposal had been madeknown. The |houso then adjourned.

Inthehouheof lords the Earl of Onslowmoved and the Earl of Boss, conservative, sec-onded, an address in answer to the speech fromthe throne. Both referred to the distress inIreland. Earl Graville deprecated the stronglanguage ofParnell, he oaid. He was utterlyopposed to home rule but reform in local gov-ernment ho thought might do much towardssatisfying Irishmen.

Lord Beaeonifield then spoke in a generalreview of the government pelicy. Home rulehe defined to mean dismemberment of theUnited Kingdom.

Right Hon. John Robert Mowbray.conserva-tive member for Oxford university. made anaddress in answer to the speech from thethrone. Corry, in seconding the motion,

stated that the distress in Ireland wasn't sogeneral as has been represented. He contend-ed that anyinterference with the land questionshould be conducted with all due safeguards.

The marquis of Hartington stated said theTurkish question ought to bo taken up andnettled as speedily as possible. He criticisedthe recent interference of the governmentin Turkish matters as likely tolead to future complications, and pointed out

that reforms in Asiatic Turkey were still inabeyance. Speaking of the Austro-German al-liance he said he thought it would be well forEngland to look to ber own security. He crit-icised the annexation of Transvaal and arguedthat the population of Afghanistan are now ina worse position than before and asked forex-planations regarding military executions inCabul. He hoped The government would at

the earliest moment state definitely what stepshad been taken to relieve the distress in Ire-land.

The Duke of Argyle followed and attackedGen. Roberts and the Ancle-Turkish conven-tion. Lord Cranbrook replied to the Duke ofArgyleand defended the government. Theaddress was then agreed to and the houso ad-journed.

FRANCE.

the BAIL nORBOB.

Paris, Feb. s.— The calamity which occurred

on the Circular railroad at Clichy Tuesdaynight is oven more horrible than was estimatedfrom first reports. Eleven persons have al-ready died, the most notable among them being

the Count De Puyberrat. The number wound-

ed is computed at sixty, and of theee some arelikelyto die. Dieu Donno, engineer of thetrain of the Circular railroad, died yesterday.In his ante mortem statement hegave his version of the particulars of thehorrible disaster. Ho was within a few

yards of the Aracnteuil train, before he observ-ed the red lighton the rear car and before hehad time to do anything, the crash came andhe knew no mere." Twocauses are mentionedaa tending to explain the collision. One isthe reprehensible practice of dispatching lastexpress trains a few minutes after the depar-ture of slow trains, and the other is the utterineuffiency of the company's signals on theline. At the time of the collision the expresswas runningat fullspeed. M. Maret, of thePlace Vendome, who was among the killed, wasan eminent architcct,and hadbsen in the sei viceof Ex-Queen Isabella of Spain. He is saidtohave had a presentiment of his fate, as he in-sured his life for $30,000 a few hours before hetook the train. M.Hnynie, stage manager, andM. Jolly,comedian, of the Bouffe Parisians,are dangerously injured and ina very criticalcondition. M. Do Milleville,another of thewounded, is the husband of Emelie Broisat, ofthe Theatre Franeaisc.

When the dairymen uf the East wereinformed that it was made from our nativewildgrasses, their eyes were opened with as-tonishment. The first premium on dairy but-ter was awarded to Mr3.

Ittook the sweepitakcsfrom over everything else in that class. Itwas the centre of attraction during the fair.Nothing to compare with it van ever before onexhibition inNew YorkCity.

cember last. The artistic skill showed in themaking of this display is very fine.

The committee appointed toprepare a reportoa the points to be taken in consideration inex-aminingbutter forpremiums reported throughtheir chairman, Truman M. Smith, the follow-ing butter scale: Flavor 20, quality 15, salt-ing 15. color 5, manner of packing 5, totalpoints 50.

Cheese scale: Flavor 15, qaality 15, extract10, style 6, color 4, total points 50.

The report was received aud adopted.The committee appointed to procure from

the State an appropriation to assist the societyinpublishing its essays, submitted a lengthyreport from Hon. J. B. West, of Winnebago,chairman of the committee. Mr. West statedthat although he didall inbit power to pass abillhaving for its object the necessary appro-priation, the number of votes necessary to se-cure its passage could not be obtained. This,Mr.West says, was due to three reasons; thelateness of the session when the billwas introduced; the lack of in-terest by those who are farmers;and the drive well scheme being in full blastat the time the bill was introduced. The re-port suggested that a committee be appointedto try the thing again. On motion the reportwas adopted and the president authorized toappoint a committee of six. Aletter wat readfrom R. D.McGlincy, secretary of the North-western Dairynen's association, ofIllinois, stating that at the an-nual meeting of that organizationaction was to be taken in reference to oleomar-gerine and asking the co-operation of the Min-nesota society in "drivingit from the land."The reading of this letter caused a Icrgtbydiscnsiion.

Mr.Banders staled that onhis recent visit toNew York he had inquired particularly intothe manufacturing and sale of o'eomargerine.Hu obtained his information from F. B.Thnrber, one of the largest commissionmerchants in that city,and who, while holdingan officB ia the International Dairy fair,was discovered selling oleomargerino at hispitce of business. The compound found alarge and ready sale in New York city,and themanufacturers claimed to ship a large amount

to sonthern markets. He thought a law shouldbe passed as in New York State, requiring themakers to mark each package put on the mar-ket with the name. The sale was hurtin? theprice and sale of butter, especially in the eait-ern markets.

Mr.Foster thought ifpersona desired to eat

candle grease they should not be deprived ofthe privilege, but that the makers of the com-pound should be compelled to send their goodson themarftct under itsproper iiama and notas butter.

Mr. Fowler said that tons of butter badbeen brought to and sold out of this marketthat was worse and more unwholesomethan ever oleouiargerine could be.

Mr.lyes thought any attempt to drive oleo-margerine out of the market by laws would bea species of class legislation, and wouldhave abad effect on the natural laws of trade.If people would buy the compound be-cause it was cheaper, why, let them do so.

Although he was in favor of a law requir-ingtha stamping of all the mixture placed inthe market, he did not want to be one to askforlegislation to drive itfrom the market.The general opinion of the members seemed tobe that the only way to do away witholsomar-gerine was to make butter of such a superiorquality as would drive it from the market.

On motion, the communication was laid onthe table.

Mr.Hoag said with good olover and cows thebest butter in the Dnited States was made inMinnesota. (Applause.) Messrs. Hoag andBass then indulged in a discussion as towhether ornot red clover would grow ina fieldwithout any Feed being sown. The discussionwhich would have lasted indefinitely wanclosed by a call for question.

Mr. Bass gave his idea of how dairy workand butter making should be done tomake a tine article, and deploredtbe stato of the market whichwhich prevailed at the present time. Store-keepers in country towns did not pay anyprice for good butter, but called all kindsalike, and paid forgood, bad, and indifferent,the rame price.

Mr. Sweet thought that by fixinga standard of quality, and paying pricesin comparison, this trouble could be done awaywith.

Mr. Gifford said there should be some wayto ship a surplus of good butter to the Easternmarket if prices could not be obtained here.He thought it would help raise theprice aud do some injury to oleomargerine.Air.Saunders stated that the dealers in theEast paid about, the same price as they didinthis market, the fact was no encouragementwas given for making "giltedge" butter. Thedistinction in quality was cot made; buttershould be graded as wheat is and prices paidaccordingly. He was of the opinion thatboards of trade, such as werein operation in New York State,was what was needed. At this point, rules andregulations governing such an organizationwere read byMr. Sanders. In reply to someremarks made in regard to the rates of Khip-pin<? butter from St. Faul and vicinity to NewYork and Chicago, George C. Lawrence, agentof the Merchants Despatch Transportation com-pany, gave a table of rates.

He said that last fall butter was shippedfrom St. Paul to New York in refrigerator carsfor seventy-five cents per hundred pounds,and that the railroad companies would gladlyfurnish refrigerator cara to any point in theState ifa car load of freight was guaranteed.

Mr.Visconte stated that he bad shipped but-ttr East r.nd had received forty cents perpound for It.

Mr. Deering said as good prices could be ob-tained for good butter in this marketas in the East; ho knew ofsevei al parties who had contraots to furnishbutter the year round at thirty-five cents perpor.nd, and could not supply the demand. Mr.Vir come read a lengthy and interesting addresson the superiority of the Jersey breed of cow*

over other breeds for dairy purposes, and giv-ing statistics which he had kept for the pastnine months. He also called attention to tholack of judgment displayed by persons whoacted sv< judgesj udges of cattle at fairs.

A ivote of thanks was tendered Mr. Vis-conte and the meeting adjourned to meet thismorning at .) o'clock.

BOUNCED HAYT.BEPOUT OF THE SPECIAL COMMIT-

TEE OF INVESTIGATION.

Tic Summary Action af Secretary ScharzSu»" allied and Endorsed— Hayt's Partner-ship With Hart In the Washington MineSpeculation Clearly Proven—Evidence

Against Hart Withheld from th« Depart-ment by Hayt—Attempted Defense by aPartner inIniquity.

New York, Feb. 5.—

Tho special committeeof the Indian commission completed its reportin the case of ex-Commissioner Hayt to-day.After reciting evidence concerning Hammond,Hart aad Hayt the reoort says: We cannotconsider Hayt's excuse for withholding im-portant ptTpers from the secretary of the in-terior as sufficient, inasmuch as additional evi-dence and correspondence submitted to the de-partment of justice, together with affidavitsin January, does not add to the strength of thetestimony sufficiently to show why the samemay not hava been transmitted before. Wecannot avoid the conclusion that while ore caseagainst ex-Agent Hart was promptlyforwarded to the department of justice forex-ecution, with regard to the other case involv-ingmore serious charges, neither the commis-sioner nor inspector were sufficientlyinearnest.Inspector Hammond admits that in the springof 1879 he was personally interested in the p-o-posed purchase of the Washington mine, andthat in August, upon the arrivalin Arizona ofEdward Enapp, the so-called nephew of thecommissioner, he devoted much time and at-tention in assißting Mr. Knapp in securing themine forMr. Hogencamp of New Jersey.

Late in the progress of our investigation thefollowing facts were elicited: When Hogen-camp telegraphed to Hammond that he wouldsend out a special agent to purchase the minehe replied to Hogencamp: "How shallIknowhim." To which Hayt sent the followingan-swer: ''You know Knapp," which circum-Rtance, if true, connects Mr. Hayt with themining transaction. Mr. Hay t does not admitsending such a reply.

Another fact was elicited, namely,that Edward Enapp, the so-callednephew of the commissioner who figures soconspicuosly in this transaction, was passingunder an assumed name, and was really Ed-ward Knapp Hayt, son ot the commissioner,and that he adopted this name at the sugges-tionof his father.

These circumstances coupled with the factthat the commissioner declined to give his tes-timony untilafter (Jener.il Hammoud had tes-tified, his alleged unwillingness vo have Gen.Hammond correct his statements con-cerning the genuineness of his letter to Hart,and the long delay in the prosecution of Hart,though furnishing no positive evidence of com-plicityor guilt in compromising crime for aconsideration, as was charged, may be taken assufficient proof that the commissioner was cog-nizant of the sale of the mine by an ex-Indianagent charged withgross offenses through hisown son, under an assumed name, to some ofhis intimate friends, a fact which can scarcelybe relieved by his own assurance that he badno interest inthe matter.Itis proper to state that tbe secretary of tbe

interior has been kept fullyand constantly ad-vised daring the progress of our examination.His desire hss been repeatedly expressed thatweshould probe this matter to the bottom andpromptly notify him of all important factsthat might be developed. Itis also but rightto state that we have found no trace of anyimplicationof any officer, clerk or employe ofthe lodian service in the above transaction, ex-cept those above named. Allof which is re-spectfully submitted.

(Signed) Albert Shilxt,Wm. Stickuet,

For the Committee.A. C. Barstow presented a minority report,

in which he says: "Gen. Hammond's testi-mony, which of all the testimony offered,alone directly connects Commissioner Haytwith the wrongdoing charged, was taken onJanuary, 1819, but was afterwards altered. Inthis alteration, his testimony onone importantpoint was entirely reversed. Though there aremany suspicions circumstances whichbear against Mr. Hart suffi-cient to justify his removal,they do not necessarily implyguilt. If thesecircumstance raise doubts, tho accused is enti-tled to the benefit of them.

The report of the committee was adopted bythe fullboard. They also adadted the follow-ingresolntion :

Jiesolved, That in view of tbe facts developedby the report of the special committee touch-ing tho conduct of the late commissioner, thinboard approves the action of the secretary ofthe interior in removing Mr. Hayt from the of-fice of commissioner of Indian affairs,
