BACI PXVKLQPSTENTS. Washington, Feb. a.— The committe on ways and means to-day finished the hearing ou tho proposed redaction of duty on steel rails. Simuel M. Felton, president of the Bessimer Steel association. was examined as follows: Question by Conger—Do you know anything about an association formed in England for the purpose of influencingour tariff on steel rails itn'.l other objects, and whether that association has members in this country. Pelton— l doa't know any of my own knowledge. I hive heard that there in such an association, but 1 can't say pi sitively whether there i 3 or not. Conger— far p.s yon have heard, do you know whether any members of that association .ire member; of Congress. Kelton — I lnow nothing about it. Conger— you know whether any member of Congress was, at the time of this change in the tariff, a member of tbe Cobden League, formed for the purpose of reducing duties in our tariffs!' Felton— l hive heard tbat that was the ease, but 1 have no knowledge of it. Carlisle l understood you to Ray that the association of which you arc president has not furnished any moneys to comimißats the Val- can Works at St. Louis for ceasing operations. Felton— No sir. Carlisle — you know whether the other mill owners of the country have furnished any money to compensate tha Vulcan Works? Feltoc — I will tell .in the whole truth. The fact is the works stopped in consequence of their inability to pay their man and ttei: hon- est debts. While they were in that coaditioa some 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 enable tUem to tide over the then bird times. Toe Vulcan w,>rks was under a n:ortj;a.;o of one niilli.>:i dollars, the interest <>t which was about $711,000 a year, and they would have been sold at a sacrifice and the property scattered to the four wind", of heaven if it hadn't been that ot er persons iv tbe same business camo to their relief and paid them about 570.000 a ye.-ir, by which the Viilcin works were abl? to pay interest on their mort- gage and to save this property and bo ready when the demand for ht>'< 1 rails was greater than the supply, iii start :ifre*h. Carlisle — Was it not i> part of the agreement that the Vulcan works should not operate within thro? years that they were being paid $70,000 by other mills? Felton—No, they were to operate whenever the time came in which the demand fur steel rails was greater than tha supply. They were to be notified then that they would receive this money no longer. Carlisle — That is these other mill owners have the ri^ht to notify the Vulcan work*when they may resume operations? Felton Ye», and they have been notified. Emory A. Storrs closed the argument on be- half of the steel manufacturers and against fiepropuaed reduction of duly. FORTY-SIXTH COXG!i i S3. (Second Session.) The Senate. OETTIXG mi)u«utiopa.

Mr. Shellabarger submitted an amendment giving the committee on public buildings and grounds jurisdiction over appropriations for public buildings.

MoHHiirc» lieeommendMl for tho Relief of Distress In Ireland -The War in Afghan- latin, Reforms In Turkey, and Other Matters- Parliament Proceedings-Fur- ther of the French Kail H Eleven Deutl>nd Over Sixty Injured-General Old World New*. ENGLAND. MEEXia OF I'AIILIAMKNr. LOBDOH, Feb. 5.— Weather to-day fine. The royal procession to the parliament house took place in accordance with the programme. The queen arrived at the house of lords at ten minutes past 2. Upon receiving a copy of the speech from Lord Cairns , the lord high chan- cellor, her majesty handed it back 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: My Lords and Gentlemen— lt is with much «atisf action I again resort to the advice and as- sistance of my parliament. My relations with all the powers continue friendly. The course of events since the prorogation of parliament has tended to furnish additional security to the maintenance of European peace on the principles laid down by the treaty of Berlin. Much, however, remains still to be done to re- pair the disorder into which tho late war has affected many parts of the Turkish empire. A convention for the suppression of tho slave trade has been concluded between my govern- ment and that of his imperial majesty the Sul- tan. AFGHANISTAN. At the close of your last session I had hoped that the treaty of Gundamuk had happily terminated the war in Afghanistan in con- formity with its provisions. My envoy with his retinue was honorably received and enter- tained by the ameer at Cabul. While engaged, however, in tho exercise of their duty, he and those connected with the embassy were treach- erously attacked by overwhclmiug numbers, snd, after a heroic defense, were almost all ui.-iisa.crcd, an outrage so intolerable that it called for chastisement, and my troops which, pursuant to stipulations of treaty, either had withdrawn or were withdrawing from the territories governed by the ameer were or- dered to retrace their steps. Tlieir ekill ex- hibited in the rapid march upon Cabul and in advances upon other lines of action, reflects the highest credit upon the officers and men of my British and native forces, whose bravery has Rhone with wonted lustre in every collision Kith the enemy. The abdication of the ameer and the unsettled condition of the country renders the recall of my troops impossible for the present, but the principles on which my government has hitherto acted, remain un- changed; and while determined to make the frontiers of my Indian c:npiro strong, I decire to be on friendly relations alike with those who may rule in Afghanistan and with the people of that country. SOUTH AFRICA. My anticipations as to an early peace in South Africa have becu fulfilled. The capture- fil position of the Zulu king andth<; breaking np of the military«,rganization on which his rlynaMy was based, have relieved my posses- sions in that part of the world from the dan- ger whicn seriously impeded their f.dvancement and consolidation. In Bazuloland a native outbreak of considerable importance has been effectually quelled by colonial forces, while Trannvaal has been freed from tho depredations >f tbe powerful chief, who, having successful- ly resisted the former government of the coun- try, bad persistently rejected our at- tempts at conciliation. I have reason to hope that the time is now approach- ing when an important advance may be made towards 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 subjects inother parts ot South Africa. The papers on these and other matters willbe forthwith laid before you. ESIIMATF.S. Gentlemen of the House of Commons — 1 have directed estimates of this year to be pre- pared and laid before you without delay. AGBICULTrjHAI., DEPRESSION. My Lorda and Gentlemen— The commission wLich at the close of the session I informed you I had issued to inquire into the cause of the agricultural depression throughout the United Kingdom, is pursuing its labor?. In tie meantime the serious deficiencies in the us'iil crcps in some parts of Ireland has ren- dered neccsnary special precautions on the part of my government to guard against tbe calam- ities with whichthose districts were threatened. WUh this view they have called upon those chirged with the duty of administering rel rt to make amplo preparations for the dis- tribution of f i od and fuel, should such a Btep become necessary, and they have also stimu- letcd the employment of labor by advances on tfrm3 more liberal than those prescribed by ex- isting law. 1 feel assured you will give your sanction to the course which has been adopted when it may have exceeded the power entrust- ed by parliament to the executive cf the gov- ernment. A proposal will be submitted to you for providing the funds required for these ex- oeptional advances, on the security of property ad ministered by church temporalities. 1 trust you willbe able to resume coneidera- tion of the criminal code and of improvemout of the law of bankruptcy. Bills will be laid before you for enlarging the powers of owners of settled land, for consolidating and amend- ingthe lunacy laws, and for simplifying the practice of conveyancing. I commend to you thwo acd other measures which may be sub- mitted for your consideration, and I trust that the Llessing of AlmightyGod will attend and direct your labors. CORDIAL RECEPTION. Lordi Beaconsfield and Siulsbury were not present at the opening of parliament. The Queen's reception by the crowd in the streets, was very enthusiastic. Seats to view the royal procession fetched heavy prices. There waa the usual search for Guy Fawkes in the cellars of the House of Commons this morning. BELIEF FOR IRELAND. Inthe House of Commons Sir Stafford North- cote, chancellor of the exchfquer, gave notice he would movo to-morrow the adoption of a bill sanctioning measures of relief for Ireland already taken, and for further relief. Alexander M. Sullivan. Home Rulo membor for Louth, gave notice he would to-morrow move forleave to introduce a bill for the better protection of life and property in Ireland, by suspending the serving of writs of ejectment fornon pay- ment of rent. William Shaw, home ruler from Cork, gave notice of aa amendment to the address cecsur- ingthe government fur failure to take efficient measures forrelief of the distress in Ireland and callina upon them to act in that direction. The amendment concludes with a statement that it is essential for tha peace and prosperity of Ireland to legislate immediately and com- prehensively oa question* relative to tenure, the neglect of which duty is the true cause of the constantly recurring distress in that part of the 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, he said it gave great satisfaction to the govern- ment, as it is likely to be conducive to the peace of the world. Her majesty's govern- ! ment, he said, had no wish for the annexation of Afghanistan. The government, he claimed. had not b.en remiss in taking what steps in Ireland they thought necessary upon information re- oeivedj and he added that the government would ask for a bill of indemnity for loans granted. If the object of Shaw's amendment was to register a vote against tbe government it would not be right that he should offer it, while he was ignorant of the government \u25a0 pro- posals regarding Ireland. Shaw then moved adjournment of the debate, which wan agreed to after a desultory discussion in which several Irish member* participated, as to whether Shaw should move his amendment before or after the government's proposal had been made known. The |houso then adjourned. Inthehouheof lords the Earl of Onslow moved and the Earl of Boss, conservative, sec- onded, an address in answer to the speech from the throne. Both referred to the distress in Ireland. Earl Graville deprecated the strong language of Parnell, he oaid. He was utterly opposed to home rule but reform in local gov- ernment ho thought might do much towards satisfying Irishmen. Lord Beaeonifield then spoke in a general review of the government pelicy. Home rule he defined to mean dismemberment of the United Kingdom. Right Hon. John Robert Mowbray. conserva- tive member for Oxford university . made an address in answer to the speech from the throne. Corry, in seconding the motion, stated that the distress in Ireland wasn't so general as has been represented. He contend- ed that anyinterference with the land question should be conducted with all due safeguards. The marquis of Hartington stated said the Turkish question ought to bo taken up and nettled as speedily as possible. He criticised the recent interference of the government in Turkish matters as likely to lead to future complications, and pointed out that reforms in Asiatic Turkey were still in abeyance. Speaking of the Austro-German al- liance he said he thought it would be well for England to look to ber own security. He crit- icised the annexation of Transvaal and argued that the population of Afghanistan are now in a worse position than before and asked for ex- planations regarding military executions in Cabul. He hoped The government would at the earliest moment state definitely what steps had been taken to relieve the distress in Ire- land. The Duke of Argyle followed and attacked Gen. Roberts and the Ancle-Turkish conven- tion. Lord Cranbrook replied to the Duke of Argyleand defended the government. The address 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 Tuesday night is oven more horrible than was estimated from 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 are likelyto die. Dieu Donno, engineer of the train of the Circular railroad, died yesterday. In his ante mortem statement he gave his version of the particulars of the horrible disaster. Ho was within a few yards of the Aracnteuil train, before he observ- ed the red light on the rear car and before he had time to do anything, the crash came and he knew no mere." Two causes are mentioned aa tending to explain the collision. One is the reprehensible practice of dispatching last express trains a few minutes after the depar- ture of slow trains, and the other is the utter ineuffiency of the company's signals on the line. At the time of the collision the express was running at full speed. M. Maret, of the Place Vendome, who was among the killed, was an eminent architcct,and had bsen in the sei vice of Ex-Queen Isabella of Spain. He is saidto have had a presentiment of his fate, as he in- sured his life for $30,000 a few hours before he took the train. M. Hnynie, stage manager, and M. Jolly, comedian, of the Bouffe Parisians, are dangerously injured and in a very critical condition. M. Do Milleville, another of the wounded, is the husband of Emelie Broisat, of the Theatre Franeaisc. GUNEKAL FOREIGN. AIDTO IRELAND. .

The rales required at least 150 pounds of cheese to compete for premiums. The four cheese weighingless than the required "amount could not oompete for premiums. Minnesota's exhibit of dairy but- ter was very creditable as compared with other States.

It took the sweepitakcs from over everything else in that class. It was the centre of attraction during the fair. Nothing to compare with it van ever before on exhibition in New York City. The press of Rew York and Chi- cago gave the makers tho high- est and most graceful compliments. Pains! akiug care and skill, acquired by being satisfied with only the very best in all her work, has obtained lor them a name and fame that reaches from Maine to Oregon. Gentle- men, the lady who honors us withher presence t'vday, is without question the most skillful butter worker, at the present time, in the Uni- ted States. The Sweepstakes— First premium, on cheese, was awarded to A Hodcjeeon A Son, Montreal, Canada. The second, to R. E. McCatchen, Whitewater, Wis. The sweepstakes on butter — the best made at any time or place, was awarded to N. W. More- ley, Baraboo, Wis. Mr. Morley has a dairy of only sixteen cows. AlUho first, second and third premiums on creamery butter made in the months of June, September, October and November was award- ed to dairymen in Jones county, lowa. The intelligent, progressive representatives of that county received cijhtten premiums ou cream- ery butter against seven in Ib7B. At the conclusion the thanks of the society were tendered Mr. "Gardner forhis nddresß. A recess of ten minutes was theu taken, and the various dairy implements, and samples of but- ter on exhibition examined. Mrs. H. J. Wad«- wurtb, of Waseca, bad on exhibition a number of fatcy pieces made of colored butter which are a part of the exhibit made by Mrs. Mc- Dowell, Mrs. Lawrence and herself at the In- ternatior.al Dairy Fair held at New York in De- cember last. The artistic skill showed in the making of this display is very fine. The committee appointed to prepare a report oa the points to be taken in consideration in ex- amining butter for premiums reported through their chairman, Truman M. Smith, the follow- ing butter scale: Flavor 20, quality 15, salt- ing 15. color 5, manner of packing 5, total points 50. Cheese scale: Flavor 15, qaality 15, extract 10, 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 society in publishing its essays, submitted a lengthy report from Hon. J. B. West, of Winnebago, chairman of the committee. Mr. West stated that although he did all in bit power to pass a bill having 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; the lateness of the session when the bill was introduced; the lack of in- terest by those who are farmers; and the drive well scheme being in full blast at the time the bill was introduced. The re- port suggested that a committee be appointed to try the thing again. On motion the report was adopted and the president authorized to appoint a committee of six. Aletter wat read from R. D. McGlincy, secretary of the North- western Dairynen's association, of Illinois, stating that at the an- nual meeting of that organization action 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 Icrgtby discnsiion. Mr.Banders staled that onhis recent visit to New York he had inquired particularly into the manufacturing and sale of o'eomargerine. Hu obtained his information from F. B. Thnrber, one of the largest commission merchants in that city, and who, while holding an officB ia the International Dairy fair, was discovered selling oleomargerino at his pitce of business. The compound found a large and ready sale in New York city, and the manufacturers claimed to ship a large amount to sonthern markets. He thought a law should be passed as in New York State, requiring the makers to mark each package put on the mar- ket with the name. The sale was hurtin? the price and sale of butter, especially in the eait- ern markets. Mr.Foster thought if persona desired to eat candle grease they should not be deprived of the privilege, but that the makers of the com- pound should be compelled to send their goods on the marftct under its proper iiama and not as butter. Mr. Fowler said that tons of butter bad been brought to and sold out of this market that was worse and more unwholesome than ever oleouiargerine could be. Mr. lyes thought any attempt to drive oleo- margerine out of the market by laws would be a species of class legislation, and would have a bad 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 in the market, he did not want to be one to ask for legislation to drive itfrom the market. The general opinion of the members seemed to be that the only way to do away witholsomar- gerine was to make butter of such a superior quality as would drive it from the market. On motion, the communication was laid on the table. Mr. Hoag said with good olover and cows the best butter in the Dnited States was made in Minnesota. (Applause.) Messrs. Hoag and Bass then indulged in a discussion as to whether or not red clover would grow in a field without any Feed being sown. The discussion which would have lasted indefinitely wan closed by a call for question. Mr. Bass gave his idea of how dairy work and butter making should be done to make a tine article, and deplored tbe stato of the market which which prevailed at the present time. Store- keepers in country towns did not pay any price for good butter, but called all kinds alike, and paid for good, bad, and indifferent, the rame price. Mr. Sweet thought that by fixing a standard of quality, and paying prices in comparison, this trouble could be done away with. Mr. Gifford said there should be some way to ship a surplus of good butter to the Eastern market if prices could not be obtained here. He thought it would help raise the price aud do some injury to oleomargerine. Air.Saunders stated that the dealers in the East paid about, the same price as they didin this market, the fact was no encouragement was given for making "gilt edge" butter. The distinction in quality was cot made; butter should be graded as wheat is and prices paid accordingly. He was of the opinion that boards of trade, such as were in operation in New York State, was what was needed. At this point, rules and regulations governing such an organization were read byMr. Sanders. In reply to some remarks made in regard to the rates of Khip- pin<? butter from St. Faul and vicinity to New York and Chicago, George C. Lawrence, agent of the Merchants Despatch Transportation com- pany, gave a table of rates. He said that last fall butter was shipped from St. Paul to New York in refrigerator cars for seventy-five cents per hundred pounds, and that the railroad companies would gladly furnish refrigerator cara to any point in the State if a car load of freight was guaranteed. Mr. Visconte stated that he bad shipped but- ttr East r.nd had received forty cents per pound for It. Mr. Deering said as good prices could be ob- tained for good butter in this market as in the East; ho knew of sevei al parties who had contraots to furnish butter the year round at thirty-five cents per por.nd, and could not supply the demand. Mr. Vir come read a lengthy and interesting address on the superiority of the Jersey breed of cow* over other breeds for dairy purposes, and giv- ing statistics which he had kept for the past nine months. He also called attention to tho lack of judgment displayed by persons who acted sv< judgesj udges of cattle at fairs. A ivote of thanks was tendered Mr. Vis- conte and the meeting adjourned to meet this morning at .) o'clock. TO-DAI. The programme for to-day is a very interest- ing one.

Tic Sum mary Action af Secretary Scharz Su»" allied and Endorsed— Hayt's Partner- ship With Hart In the Washington Mine Speculation Clearly Proven—Evidence Against Hart Withheld from th« Depart- ment by Hayt—Attempted Defense by a Partner inIniquity. New York, Feb. 5. — Tho special committee of the Indian commission completed its report in the case of ex-Commissioner Hayt to-day. After reciting evidence concerning Hammond, Hart aad Hayt the reoort says: We cannot consider 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 affidavits in January, does not add to the strength of the testimony sufficiently to show why the same may not hava been transmitted before. We cannot avoid the conclusion that while ore case against ex-Agent Hart was promptly forwarded to the department of justice for ex- ecution, with regard to the other case involv- ing more serious charges, neither the commis- sioner nor inspector were sufficiently inearnest. Inspector Hammond admits that in the spring of 1879 he was personally interested in the p-o- posed purchase of the Washington mine, and that in August, upon the arrivalin Arizona of Edward Enapp, the so-called nephew of the commissioner, he devoted much time and at- tention in assißting Mr. Knapp in securing the mine forMr. Hogencamp of New Jersey. Late in the progress of our investigation the following facts were elicited: When Hogen- camp telegraphed to Hammond that he would send out a special agent to purchase the mine he replied to Hogencamp: "How shall I know him." To which Hayt sent the following an- swer: ''You know Knapp," which circum- Rtance, if true, connects Mr. Hayt with the mining transaction. Mr. Hay t does not admit sending such a reply. Another fact was elicited, namely, that Edward Enapp, the so-called nephew of the commissioner who figures so conspicuosly in this transaction, was passing under an assumed name, and was really Ed- ward Knapp Hayt, son ot the commissioner, and that he adopted this name at the sugges- tion of his father. These circumstances coupled with the fact that 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 a consideration, as was charged, may be taken as sufficient proof that the commissioner was cog- nizant of the sale of the mine by an ex-Indian agent charged withgross offenses through his own son, under an assumed name, to some of his intimate friends, a fact which can scarcely be relieved by his own assurance that he bad no interest inthe matter. It is 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 that we should probe this matter to the bottom and promptly notify him of all important facts that might be developed. It is also but right to state that we have found no trace of any implicationof any officer, clerk or employe of the lodian service in the above transaction, ex- cept those above named. All of 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 Hayt with the wrongdoing charged, was taken on January, 1819, but was afterwards altered. In this alteration, his testimony on one important point was entirely reversed. Though there are many suspicions circumstances which bear against Mr. Hart suffi- cient to justify his removal, they do not necessarily implyguilt. If these circumstance raise doubts, tho accused is enti- tled to the benefit of them. The report of the committee was adopted by the full board. They also adadted the follow- ingresolntion : Jiesolved, That in view of tbe facts developed by the report of the special committee touch- ing tho conduct of the late commissioner, thin board approves the action of the secretary of the interior in removing Mr. Hayt from the of- fice of commissioner of Indian affairs, WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE.
