WASHINGTON NEWS. -- - --WASITINGTOIC:4II-Aacli-21-,18 5 6—. Correspondence of the Republican Compiler.- The Kansas question has been laid upon the , shelf fora time, by the adoption of Mr: Dunn's'l resolution appointing a commission to proceed i to the territory to- investigate the matter of I dispute fietiveeiCklessrs. Wiritfteld-and-R-eed-er and-it is to be hopi:d_ that the vexed question is now in -a fair way for a permanent, if not a speedy, adjustment. ' The coinmission will consist of three members of Congress, who will have, full power in, the premises and whose duty it will be to travel through the territory "and collect all Alm facts in the case. A more onerous and. thankless duty.. never fell to the lot of a committee of the 'House, but there should be no shrinking or dodging now. The people have been long enough harrassed ,with the Kansas trouble,lnn it is their right-to de. wand that all the, causes which have led to the unhappy differences shall he properly ,investi gated and measo. es take i fur their removal.— Ttr. Committee will not be ready to report un til late in the sessiori` , A tuti L tterof ii‘ir,general interest to the peia• ple of this couriiirils now before Congress, in the shape of a ,proposition to subscribe for some thirty- thousand copies of Dr. Kane's forthcom ing history of the' American explorations in the arctic regions.. Dr. Kane made a brief re port to the Navy Department - upon.his return, but it. embraced only the scientific researches of the expedition, the Dr. having, at the sug gestion of the Secretary of the Navy, reserved the incidents of his travel, his adventures, &c., for a more finished , and elaborate work. This book is now in course otpublication by the en terprising house of Chiliii-& Peterson, of Philo'. del phia, under the immediate - superintendence of Dr. Kane, and will be issued early in the summer in a style commensurate with, its high national character and merit as:a literary production. The book will twin two volumes, octaVo. of 900 . pages. add contain upwards of 300 wood engravings.' besides 22 fine steel en gravings-and several maps, all engraved from the Dr.'s own'drawings. I have been favored with a view of portions of the letterpress and . have examined the embellishmentS, and do not hesitate to express that Dr. Kane's book will be - found the Most entertaining,- the most - in structive and handsome book ever issued from the American press ; that -it will - be sought af ter and read with avidity I have-no doubt.--- But in my admiration of the book l, must" not c.az 'if the ---- inch le )bieed- it iose sight af the causes w Ave pi . in its present position before , the country.. it should be recollected that our government sus tained but a small portion of the expense of the Kane expedition. while it receives all the credit of: the discoveries made up to 82 30. The burden of the expedition fell . upon private In dividuals, arid proved exhausting to the means of Dr. Kane: Thus far Our government has done nothing towards recognizing 'the services of Dr. Kane - or reimbursing hi. 4 outlays.— Money as a testimonial from his government the Dr. would refuse to accept—he has already declined' considerations from the English goy erment—and there is no way that he can be reached except in the delicate manner proposed by his friends in and out of Congress. The Dr. owns the copg-right of his- book and will —reali-ze-a-ha-ndsorne-suM---V-3F-thsed4;itb . scription, which he will.receive as a reward for an invaluable - . contribution to our national literature and not as a testimonial for services. The plan meets the approbation of members generally. The question of a revision of the Tariff Le agitated in a few weeks. We are enjoying beautiful weather, and the work upon the public buildings, so long delay ed by the protracted cold term, has been re sumed. Indisposition of your correspondent must ex cuse failures for the past two weeks. Four Children Murdered. SYRACUSE', N. Y., March woman 11 adued-Wavl,residinvv.nr son county, yesterday murdered her four chil dren by cutting their throats with• an are.— She then made an unsuccessful attempt 'to cut her own throat: The cause of the act is said to. be the neglcctand ksutality of her husband. Tit leging that the husband is a drunken, worth less fellow, says : It appears that the husband had neglected his fatuity and treated them in a most cruel manner. The wife and mother has threatened that. if he did not reform his' ways and help her to take proper care of the children she would murder them and take her own life. He heed ed not her threat, hut persisted in his brutality. Yesterday morning he left. his home to go_ fish ing on the Lake. and during his absence she executed her threat, taking an axe and with it cutting the throats of four of the five children, the youngest of whom was only two months old. The oldest of the children, aged about eight yelrs. escaped only by running away, she vainly pursuing him with axe in hand for some distance. She then returned to the house where she had perpetrated these shocking acts. and seizing her husband's razor attempted to commit suicide by cutting her throat.. Shedid not cut ri:.ep enough. however, to render the wouh fatal; and when discovered was literally covered with blood, and suffering the bust in tense agony. LADY IN COMMAND OP A U. S. FOP.T.= Lieut.

In 'the boat adrift were found one living man and four dead bodies, one of-the latter being that of a fetitale. The stirvivor,—Thonias W.

He anti the dead by - his:sjde were all that remained above the waters out of thirteen wim nine days before had left, the *reek of the ship John ilutledv, Capt. Kelly, 'of this_port, belonging to Messrs. Howland & Ridgeway. The story of the John Rut ledoe. as given by Mr. Nye, is as follows : The John Rutledge sailed' from from Liverpool on.the 16th of January. On the 18th of Feb ruary. in lat. 45 deg. 31 min., lon. 46 deg. 56 sec. W., she fell in With the ice. On the 19th she entered a field of ice, but cleared it. Soon afterwards, however, on the same day, she en countered an iceberg. 'which stove a hole in her how, and datnaged her to such an extent that at six o'clock in the evening' she was a complete wreck and evidently sinking. Not h• ing remained but for those on hoard to aban don the wreck .as best they could. Five boats were lowered, fonr of which veil; their loads and left. In the fifth boat, which was the one found by the Germania. the mate of the John Roiledoe, Mr. Atkinson, and several others were just alt Out entering, when it broke adrift with the thirteen already in it, leaving the mate and those with him to 'go down with the .vreek. Those in the boat now pulled it through the water and- ice as well as 'they were ,able,. but soon their compass was broken. end amid the - snowy and cloudy-weather, which followcd, they 'knew not which • way they went.—Days passed on', and one by one of the thirteen in the boat sank in death, front the lombined .effects of cold and starvation, and were thrown overboard, until on the .28th ,L 7 . , • dead, among whom w; Mrs. Atkingon, the wife of the mate, were picked - up by the Ge►- Ifla II la. The Germania, after rescuing Mr. Nye, Good to the north-west until dark, and then lay-to until day light,, in hopes that some others of the drifting boats might be st:en. None, however, were discovered, and she then sailed away to the southwest, keeping watch. At 9 o'clock, A. M., there came on a very thick sncr.v storm, which cleared off at coon, hut still no boats- were to be seen. .The; Germa nia still kept to the sloth, as the other boats were better manned than the one found, had composes on board, and it was supposed that they would poll for the -Gulf stream. Mr. Nye could not tell which way the other boats wtint, but a bark had come out, of the ice about the same time, bound west, w bleb may have possibly picked up some of them. If not, the 'probability is•that those - on board of the boats have ere this perished. On the llth of March, the---G-ermania--e-x-pefienced- another ht • west-north-west,' which lasted -three days, driving her back one hundred and fifty miles into the Gulf. - It was very.cold arid there was much snow. The Germania was twenty,five days to the westward of the flanks. The reader will not fail 'to notice that the track where the Germania encountered the ice on the 28th of February, and where the John Rutledge was lost npuit it on the 1901 of the same month, is about the same where the Ar aw, encountered it nn the I Fith •or January. the Atlantic on the 19 tlt•of February, the Arago on the 22d, the Baltic on the 27th of the same month, the Persia on the 3lst of January, the .Africa on the 2d of Mareh, and about the same time as that where the Edinburgh on the 27th of March saw what has been supposed by _fLoni_e_co_lie—th.e_w_r_e_e_k_o_Ltle_acifie,anit_ti • position of which ice in the ocean we idesig mated on a chart which we published on Sat urday morning last. An additional hope to thatjain_t_one which our ardent wishes still keep alive within us, that the Pacific has not, been lost upon that same 'icy track, may pos sibly be derived from the fact that nether the Germania nor the survivor from the John Rut ledge, brings any report of having seen any vestige of Wreck in nearly that part of the ocean in which, we expressed our tear on. Sa turday last, - that the Pacific had milt a ear u fate. .-We confess, •however, that this *fact is or a character .not to give that hope much foun dation on which AO build its pleasant indul gence. A dispatch received from New York on Monday. says the John Rutledsze (which was built at Baltimore) had on board 120 passen; gers, and a crew of 25 persons, and of those only ono soul is known to have been saved. She WaA insured for $70,500, and had a cam° of eight howl red Lo-n-4 of merehandize, which was probably insured in Europe.
