Death from Burning. A most diutressing

death of one of his servants from burning.
This woman (the coolt), ln endeavoring to light
a lamp, ln some way exposed her dreas to the
flames. No one being ln the room at the time
of tbe accident, the llames had made considera
ble headway beforo she could give the alarm.
The lady of the house, rushing down stairs,
instantly deluged her with water, but the
assistance came too late. Fulling over, the
woman expired ln a few moments. As the
lamp was found upright on the table, with all
Its contents, tbe accident could not have
occurred from any explosion. This Is a direct

so heedlessly to accident from fire.

The
New Currency Bill-Oar
Foreign Relations.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Special J)eprUeh to The Evening Telegraph.
The Currency Hill.
Washington, Feb. 23. The action of the
Senate, in refusing to concur In the Homo
amendment to the supplementary Currency act'
is looked upon as Invutng the failure of that
meaouro lor tbe preseut seosion. The House is
to unanimous and so thoroughly ln earnest OTer
Coburn's amendment that any OtnoiUtce o(
Conference will have to insist upon thai, or clo
have their report defeated. Many saernbers
now prefer that the whole matter shall go over
to the next tessioo when there will be more
time to frame a measure likely to give general
satisfaction. Representatives ct national bsuks,
mote r articularly large banks, who would suffer
most by the passage of tho bill, are now hcre
trying to insure its defeat, and they arc likely
to succeed.
Tbo Friends of (Jeneral Grant
ro prcHtly disappointed at the refusal ot the
fknate to agree to the repeal of the Civil
Tenure act. Grant himself, it would seem, is
less auDoyed ubout it than Hny other person,
lie is said to have remarked to a member of
the House who called upon him to day, that, ho
preferred to bo free and unfettered iu hli ac
tion; but if the Son ate rnfuscd to repeal the wet
in question it should not trouble him. Tho only
thing was that tbe So Data would have to
shoulder tho responsibility.
diplomatic Itelation.
It is now apparent that the present Confer
ence Committee on the diplomatic appropriation
bill will fail to agree; they have hud several
mccliugs, ulways with the eatne result, Batter
insisting upon his proposition to consolidate
the Central and South American Missions, and
Senator Sumner on the part of the Senate re
luoing to yifld that point. It is thought a new
committee will be ordered.
Warehousing Ooodn. -
The Ways and weans uomoiittes has had a
bill to prohibit the warehousing of goods mann
lactured in the United Stales under cousidcra
tion for the rast two days. No conclublou has
yet been reached, but Indications are that the
bill will be agreed upon by the Committee aud
reported to the Hou6C. It is the bill iut rod seed
in the Senate last year by Senator Morrill of
Vermont, but it has been considerably mollQcd
"by the Ways and Means Committee.

Mr. Cook, of Illinois, from the Committee ou

Casement, claiming to be elected a delegate
from Hie Territory of Wyoming. Tno report

The Bpcuker laid before the llouso tue Presi
dent's veto of the Copper Tariff bill.
Tbe veto meRfcage was read, aud the question
being, shall the bill pas, the President's objec
tions to the oouirary notwithstanding?
Mr. Schenck, of Ohio, said he did not proposu
to take np tbe time of tbe House at this late
day ol the session ln a fresh discussion of this
bill. He would yield his hour to gentlemen on
both sides of tbe llouso who were especially
Interested ln this measure and resume the door
In time to call the previous question.
Ho yielded ten minutes tl rut to Mr. Blair, of
Michigan, who spoke of (be willingness of tbe
President to oblige his friends in Baltimore by
vetoing the bill,
The BUliuor?.cs in town had invited him

While he would be receiving hospitalities la
the Monumental City, the hurdy miners on the
banks of Lake Superior would, if the bill
should (all to pass over his veto, be suD'orlag
from his obstinate actions.
He then proceeded to review the message of
the President, arguing that there was nothing
in the provisions of the bill which make It a
tax upon the Industry of any part of the
country.
Mr. Biooke(N. Y.lhad Aft eon minntes yielded

went oil' to side ltsues. Tbe gentleman from
Michigan, Mr. Blair, had abused the author of
ttie veto Instead of answering Us arguments.

tle whole country for t he sake of his own con
stituents. Copper stocks bad gone up in New
York fiom 5 to 10 per cent, since tbe bill bad
p&yged tbe House, aud but for the prospect of a
veto they would have gone uplO.percent. more.
It was to the interest of the moneyed men that
the bill should pass over the veto. The bill
Itself was an Iniquitous measure; It struck at
some of the most Important interests of the
conntrv. and he hoped It would not pass.
Mr. Pike appealed to his side of tbe House,
the Republican, to vote upon the merits of the
measure Itself, and not upon Andrew Johnuou

Washihotoh, Feb. 23. -In conversation at
army headquarters tbls mormne witn senator
Thayer, General Grant remarked: "I want to
say to you that I shall send Into the Senate the
name of Mujor-Gcneral Ecboaeld as Secretary

return to his old position la the army. I shall
then riominate a civilian for that office, and I

who were at a short, distance from him, he sai
he bsd no objection to their hearing what he
