WASHINGTON , March 14. The State de-

partment¬

has received the following cablefrom Minister Thompson , confirming theAssociated press advices ot this morning :

"RIO , March 14. GRESHAM , Washington.After the shore batteries had fired upon theInsurgent ship for thirty injnutcs , the latteriiirrclidcrcd uncomll.lonally , Da Gama havingpreviously gone aboard the Portuguese man-ofwar.

-. "THOMPSON. "

NEW YORK. March II. The followingcable dispatch has been received by Flint& Co. from Captain K. C. Baker of thecruiser Nlctheroy :

"RIO , March 14. Finished In good shape.-"BAKER.

.

. "Mr. Dupuls , one of the firm , when asked

by an Associated prosa reporter the meaningof the above dispatch , said : "I take It toIndicate that the whole thing Is over. " Hothen produced another cable dispatch whichhad been received , which read :

"Revolt , Rio collapsed. ""Can you tell mo why tlio fleet was BO long

delayed ? Was It because of lack of am-

munition¬

? ""Well , as to that I cannot say. I Infer ,

however , that the president was proceedingwith great deliberation and gradually draw-Ing

-the net around the rebels until ho had

captured them. It seems to mo that he hasdone the business very well. "

The news of the surrender from Rio doJaneiro contained In Minister Thompson'scablegram this afternoon was very welcometo Secretary Grcsham nnd to Secretary Her-bert

¬

, particularly. To the first It served torelieve him from the ever present appre-hension

¬

lost something should occur thatmight Involve the United States governmentIn scJnio ugly dispute with one of the com-

batants¬

, or , perhaps , with some of the for-eign

¬

powers that have so jealously watchedthe course fen firmly and consistently pur-sued

¬

by this government. To Secretary Her-bert

¬

the surrender means the ability to ro-llovo

-moit'of the American sailors who have

endured much hardship and exposure toyellow fever from further service ift Rio ,and to utilize tlio ships' now there for dutyIn other places where they are much needed-.It

.also means a considerable saving to the

Navy department for the maintenance of thelargo fleet at Rio. Stores and supplies thereare always dear , and the cost has been en-hanced

-by the war. Coal alone is a consid-

.crablo.

Item , the prlco at Rio bolng about11.50 per ton , and the consumption of thenow vessels Is very largo. Minister Thomp >

ton and Admiral Denham have both acquit *

ted themselves of their delicate and respon-sible

¬

duties to the perfect satisfaction of thepresident and tholr superior officers.

Secretary Gresham this afternoon said thatthere was nothing for the United Statestodo now at Rio. "Wo had acted with perfectfairness throughout , and there Is no occasionnow for Interference , so long as AmericanInterests ore safe. Whether or not theFrench and British and Portuguese navalcommanders have laid themselves liable te-

a charge of violating the neutrality laws Inreceiving the fugitive rebel officers aboardtheir ships Is a matter In which the UnitedStates need feel no concern , practically , as-wo Are blameless on that score. "

PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS.The naval officers hero are well pleased

that da Gama should have escaped , believingho Is a man of sterling qualities and bravoto a fault. It Is surmised that ho will bolanded at Montevideo or some- other neutralport , and It Is bollovcd ho will have nothingmore to do with the rebellion In Brazil. It Issuspected by naval ofilcers that da Gama hasbeen made a scapegoat by do Mcllo , for It-

Is now believed that when the latter sallcdaway from Rio with the Aquldaban and Re-publlca

-ho realized that the rebellion at that

phieo waa absolutely hopeless. Ho hadproved his ability to safely run past the fortswith these two ships , but It was manifestlyimpossible for the other half dozen unpro-tected

¬

Insurgent ships to run this gauntlet.-H

.

became a question of losjng everythingor escaping himself. Ho escaped , leavingda Gama to share the lost fortunes of hismen. Nobody knows what do Mello will do-

now. . He may join the Insurgents at-

Dcsterro , or ho may go to Uruguay or Argcn-tlno

-and surrender his ships. It ho scuttles

the vessel ho U liable to punishment forbarratry.

The following cablegram was received fromMlnlstor Thompson at Rio late this after-noon

¬

:

"RIO , March 14. Greshum : The operationswere directed by thu president from the mainnrsencl on the water front. At 3:30: yester-day

WASHINGTON , March 14. The test votewhich was to bo taken today on the sclgnl-orago

-

bill , the vote by Mr. Allison's motionto reconsider the vote by which the billpassed to Its third reading , had the effect olattracting a largo attendance to the galleries.The senate early took up the consideration ofthe bill , and Mr. Teller of Colorado and Mr-

.Gcorgo.

of Mississippi spoke In favor of Itspassage , the former criticising severely somestatements made by Senator Sherman In Me

recent speech against the bill-

.Oeforo.

Mr. Gcorgo had concluded hisremarks the hour of 2 o'clock arrived andMr. Harris Insisted upon the vote beingthen taken on Mr. Allison's motion , withtho-result that It was defeated by a vote of28 to 45-

.

Is expected that the bill will pa s byabout the same vote at 2 o'clock tomorrow.-

Mr.

The other portion of the agreement , thatall debate until 2 o'clock tomorrow , whenthe bill Is to bo voted on , should be underthe ( Ivc-mlnuto rule , was abrogated and Mr.George concluded his speech In favor of thebill.He was followed by Mr. Carey of Wyoming ,

who opposed the bill-.In

.

his speech advocating the paisago ofthe seigniorage bill , Mr. Teller sarcasticallyresented the assumption of certain senatorsthat they were the custodians of all thehonesty and all the wisdom and knowledgeon financial subjects , and that they alonewere Interested In preserving the credit ofthe country. The statement so frequentlymade of late that the country was In dangerof being placed on a sliver basis he char-acterized

¬

as untrue , "but , he added , "we areon .a gold basis now , and does any one thinkthe condition of the United States Is now ahappy one ? If we do get to a silver basis'wo cannot be worse off than wo are , and It I-Ba notorious fact that the countries whichare on a silver basis are much better off than

"wo are.Mr. George of Mississippi , who followed ,

premised his remarks by stating that healso tried to speak and vote In such a waythat his remark* and his vote could nutshow whether ho lived north or south ofMason nnd Dlxon's line and this was not asectional nor political question. "This Isnot a free coinage measure , " he said , mndadded , "I wish It were. It requires only Inspecific terms the coinage of sliver alreadyowned by the government. In passing thishill we Introduce no new law. "

The hour of 2 o'clock having arrived , Mr.Harris demanded that In accordance withthe previous resolution the vote should be-taken on Mr. Allison's motion to reconsiderthe vote by which the bill was ordered to nthird reading.

¬Dabney of the Department of Ag-

riculture¬

hns scut to Chairman Hatch ofthe house committee on agriculture a copyof the latest report', on the Itusdlnn thistle ,submitted by the division of botany of thedepartment. The report wns mndo by L.-

H..

. Dewey. Communicating It to Mr.Hatch , Mr. Dnbney says thnt "with re-gard

¬

to further Investigation of this sub-ject

¬

I think you will iind that afterthorough work hna been done upon It , ex-tending over several years and embodiedIn two reports , llttjc more remains to bedone. Wo" may safely rely upon an en ¬

lightened unseltlnhnCss In the various statesto do nil thnt remains to be done. "

The report noteUthnt| the Russlnn this ¬

tle made Its appearance In this country nfew years ago in the wheat raising regionof the northwest. The damage alreadydone by It Is estimated nt several millionsof dollars anil the thistle Is rapidly spread-ing

¬

over new territory nnd being more de-structive

¬

In the region already Infested.Complaints about this plant were first

received by the Department of Agricultureduring the fall of 1831 and during the dryseason of 1&93 the weed reached unusual de-velopment

¬

, and the farmers became thor-oughly

¬

alarmed at the situation. A sin-file plant of average size of two to threefeet In diameter , and weighing two to fourpounds , when dry , bears about 20,000 to30,000 seeds. Plants have been found sixfeet In diameter iind estimated to bear00,000 seeds. At this time all the counties

of South Dakota cAst of the Missouri river ,and two counties Of North Dakota , are in-fested

¬

with the weed nnd the plants havecrossed to the west side of the Missouririver In nt least , four places In thosestates. Two counties In western Minne-sota

¬

, three In northwestern Iowa nnd fourIn northeastern Nebraska are thoroughlyImpregnated with the weed. Altogetherthis makes nlmost ono continuous area of10,000 miles , which hns become more orless covered by the Russian thistle In thecomparatively brief period of twenty years.There are , besides , many Isolated localitiesalong the railroads ; ns far east as Madi-son

¬

, WIs. , west to Denver , Colo. , nnd southto the southern bonier of Nebraska , wherethe plants have been Introduced.

The rapidity with which the Russianthistle has spread far exceeds that of nnyknown weed In America. The most activemode of distribution of the Russian thistle ,

nnd the one furnished by nature , Is thewind , nnd flax seed continues to be , In theabsence of good fanning mills , the chiefartificial ngent of distribution. Uallroadsform n third and most Important means oftransportation for the seeds over long dis-tances.

¬

. There Is good evidence that therailroads have carried them In the beddingof stock cars. These cars are. sent to thestock yards at Indianapolis , Chicago andSioux City and unloaded , but they are sel-dom

¬

cleaned until they are again sent outand have reached thelr, destination to be-reloaded. . The plant Is easily killed at-nny time during thel growing season ; itproduces no seed before the middle of Au-gust

¬

or the first of September nnd the seedIs short-lived. It therefore offers excep-tionally

¬

good oppoitunltles for beingchecked , or even exterminated. For nnyeffective measure , hovfever , there must beconcerted action throughout all the Infestedarea. . Sheep nre-veiy fond of the Rus-sian

¬

thistle until -.becomes too coarse nnd-weedy. . Hy pastuniiR' on the yountr plantsthey may he kept down and the only knownvaluable quality of"th plant utilized.

All the remedies given , the report says ,arc directed to destroying the plants be-fore

¬

they produce scrii , nnd these are theonly remedies , sd fpr'aa known , which areeffectual. - It has bjtn suggested thnt eachfarmer .land * IH not fenced make atemporary feriqe' b'y ifluntlnK a double rowof sunflowers about farm In each sea ¬

son. The cost would be slight and thefence thus made 'w uld doubtless aid verymuch In the fight , unless the sunflowers so-abudantly produced should become trouble-some

weeds. The building of wire fencesto stop the rolling plants Is a remedystrongly advised. . .

WASHINGTON , March 14. The questionns to whether the commercial agreements ,

generally known us reciprocity treatiesmade under the McKInley act , between theUnited States an foreign countries , will benullified by the WlhKm bill if It should be-

come¬

a law Is still attracting attention ntthe capltol. Those.

¬

before the paid repeal may operateto continue the agreements In operation ,

or to render n question which will leadto misunderstanding and dispute. SenatorsCaffery and DIanchard both agree with theposition taken by Senator Vest. A state-ment

¬

has been published to the effect thatMr. Cattery had given the representativesof the beet sugar Industry In Kansas andNebraska the assurance that he would in-

troduce¬

nn to the senate billdirecting the president of the United Statesto notify the countries with which thereare reciprocity treaties that nil suchtreaties will be abrogated three montnsafter the date on which the new tariff lawgoes Into effect. Senator Caffery waaasked If he contemplated such a course ,

and replied that ho did not , as ho did notconsider It would be necessary. "The pro-posed

The conference between the employes olthe Union Pacific system nnd PresidentClark , representing the receivers of the com-pany

¬

appointed by the federal court , willcommence this morning In the room ol-

llio general manager at Union .Pacific head ¬

quarters. The manner of procedure la stillIn doubt , but It Is thought the chairmen andsecretaries of the various trades affectedwill first call on the president to talk overthe situation generally nnd between them ar-range

¬

for some definite plan of hearing.Whether this hearing will Include the entirelabor delegation now In the city or whetherthe different branches of labor will bo ac-corded

¬

an Interview Is still undecided , theIdea of the president of the system being to-

glvo the employes ns full and complete anopportunity to state their side of the case as-possible. .

Officials of the company called upon thepresident yesterday and the matters of detailaffecting the management of the system weretaken up. President Clark was at his deskearly and at once plunged Into the volumln-.pus

-. correspondence that had accumulatedduring his absence , In order that his desk!" ''B ! ! ' b°

As to the comparative tables which willbo Introduced from time to time during theconference , It was given out yesterdaythat nothing concerning the wages of thoseaffected would bo promulgated until anagreement had been reached , but falling Inan agreement the points of controversywould be made public. It was argued atheadquarters that the men had rights whichthe officials were bound to respect until suchtime as the men themselves chose to ill *

vulgo the matters of difference outside ofthose already Indicated In the answer of theemployes to the petition (lied In JudgeUundy's court.

While the outcome of the conference lt>

problematical , It Is thought In higher rail ,road circles that sufficient change will bomade In the schedules to satisfy the men ,In view of the fact that there Is seriousdivisions among the men themselves repre-senting the east and west part of the sys.-tern.

.. But In the main , It Is predicted that

the schedules will be adopted as framed byGeneral Manager Dickinson at the Instancu-of the receivers. Should this condition ofaffairs fall to materialize , then It Is thoughtthe circuit court will bo asked to pass onthe question In controversy , the predictionbeing freely made that Judge Caldwell willendorse the action of the receivers.

There Is llttlo or no talk of a strike heardamong the men here , the feeling being thatthe court in giving the employes a hearing ,advanced a long step toward the settlementof differences through the medium of arbi-tration.

¬

.

AMONG THE EMPLOYES.There was little If anything that was now

In the railway situation yesterday so faras the employes were concerned. The prin-cipal

¬

feature was the arrival of the re-mainder

¬

of the firemen's delegates , J. p-

.Garvcy.

of Lcavenworth ; J. C. Williams ,

Cheyenne ; M. Urady , Montpellcr , and S. E.-

II..

. White of Glens Ferry. The AmericanHallway union men were also arriving ,and If not all of them areon the ground. Until yesterday only two orthree of them were present , but * thefollowing came In late Tuesday night andyesterday : E. L. Biggs , Glenns Kerry ;

James Mcrnagh , Portland ; Ebberllng ,

Lima , and George Miller , Omaha. Thesemen were expecting President Debs and Wil-liam

¬

Howard of Chicago on yesterday morn-Ing's

-train , but they did not arrive , and a

telegram from Chicago to the Associatedpress stated that President Debs would not behere yesterday for the reason that businessconnected with the order will require his pres-ence

¬

In that city. Mr. Howard , however ,It Is thought , will arrive this morning.

Grand Chief Clark of the conductors ar-rived

¬

yesterday from Cedar Itaplds andImedlately went up to tlio room In the Del-lone where the conductors were holding n-

conference. . A Bee reporter caught him onthe fly as ho was going through the corridor ,

and In response to a question stated that howas not sufficiently'familiar with the situa-tion

¬

to talk concerning it. The matter , how-ever

¬

, was solely In the hands of the men onthe system , and his office was solely advisoryuntil such tlmo as the men found that theywere not able to settle their differences withthe company. Then , and then only , at therequest of the men , could the grand 'officersstep In and take charge of the matter. Justhow long he would stay ho could not say , asthat depended solely on circumstances ofwhich ho was not advised.

The American Railway union men say thatIn addition to contesting against any furtherreduction of the wages -of men representedby them they have some grievances underthe present schedule which sadly need ad-

Justing.-

. The salaried men of the systemmostly belong to this organization , end theyclaim that last September when the salarieswere reduced all around It was to affect thehigh-salaried officials as well as those oc-

cupying¬

less lucrative positions , and on tlioface of things It did , but they claim that tlit-fhighsalaried men have been allowed to re-

coup themselves for the reduction of salaryby being allowed to charge up to the ex-

pense-

account enough to bring their actualIncomes up to the former figure , while theless fortunate ones Imvo been compelled totake the reduction In fact. The section men ,

wno are mostly In thin organization , alsv.have a grievance to ecttlc. For Instance.Rock Springs there are two gangs of sectionmen , and there is a difference of 10 cantsper day between the men working cast andwest from that point , though they both liveIn the same place. Again , they claim thatthe rule against section hands bclng, com-pelled

¬

to board with the section bosses Isbeing violated to the great detriment of themen In many Instances.

Tim men nt the various orfrnnl oinna|were all busy yesterday In private con-

sultation¬

and in making the final prcparnlions for the opening of the hearingtoday before Mr. Clark. The business tramsacted was of the same character as thatwhich has engaged them over since the menfirst came to town , agreeing upon u methodof procedure and collecting facts and figureswith which to meet the arguments andclaims of the receivers.

PLAN OF THE CONFERENCE.-In

.

regard to the method of procedurewhen the conference opens , before Mr. Clarkthe men say that If that gentleman leavesthe matter to them neither the plan ofall going In together nor that of taking eachorganization separately will bo adhered tostrictly , and, In fact, the former wouldonly needlessly complicate affairs. Thoraare Homo matters Involved In the proposedchange of the schedules that arn commonIn their effects on all branches of the serv-ice

¬

, iind those can probably best bo eel-tled

-

when all tire present and participateIn the discussions. There are others , how-ever

¬

, and these ara by far the greater nuin-uer

-

, that are peculiar tn BOIIIO one branch ofthe service , and for all to attempt to tuko-art In these deliberations would throw no-Ight on the matter * In controversy andnight possibly complicate thorn. For In-

stance¬

, the rates of pay and the question ofexcess mileage to engineers and dromon areof no Interest to the other branches of theservice except the desire of all to see n-

'ellow employe get what ho la entitled to ,

and the changes In the rule * In regard tnthe operation of trains are of only similarInterest to the engineers and firemen ,

*"*

though they vitally effect I"2 2m1iictors and

brakenien. ."

The firemen again deny' 5" report thatGrand Chief Sargent Is exp "" here. Theysay that ho has business In - cllon withthe order that compels his 1 In Mi-lwaukee

¬

Saturday , and In it. ''n to thatthere IB no occasion for his hero un-less

¬

tlio men on the system cA '.settle thedifferences- themselves and call Us help.

The employes , through tho1 s of thevarious organizations , will in

' Vlth Mr.Clark this afternoon at 4 o'clock to nrrangothe details and methods of procedure of theconference which Is to attempt to settle thewage question. It Is not anticipated thatanything will bo accomplished today beyondthis , as It will require all the tlmo at theirdisposal to settle these matters. Fridaymorning It Is expected everything will bo Inreadiness to take up the matters In Issue In-

earnest. . Just how lonx the conferences willlast no one Is willing to hazard oven a guess.

Representatives of the American Railwayunion In the city last evening received atelegram elating that Eugene Debs and Mr.Howard will arrive In the clly today toassist the men of that order In the con ¬

ference.-

BOISE , Idaho , March II. News was ro-

cclved In this city this evening that Indiancrock reservoir had broken Its rocky bar-riers

¬

and was sweeping down upon Iliaranches and 'villages , carrying destructionand ruin In Its path.

This reservoir was constructed on solidmasonry at the head of Indian creek , amiwas heretofore thought to be a vurltablaGibraltar , llydo and Jackson , Now York:

capitalists , built the reservoir as a watersupply for an orchard farm of 040 acres thatrecently was set out In Idaho prunes andbonded for 80000. The reservoir covered500 acres of land , and was said to containwater sulllclent to Irrigate many thousandacres. It cost J50000.

The country between Hysuka and CaldwellIs all under water. Every railroad brldgobetween Numpa and Hysuka Is washed outand many miles of railroad track submerged ,which will prevent trains from running overthe Union Pacific Short Line for many days.

The dam broke about noon and messengerswere sent nt breakneck speed on horsobaclc-to warn settlers and urge families to hastento places of safety.-

A.

mighty wall of water came sweepingdown from Indian creek , bearing on 113

bosom houses , sheep , calves , barns , farmingutensils , and submerging whole farms. Citi-zens

¬'of Nampn , a little town on the Short

Line , saw the approach of the devastatingwaters and fled to high ground. Soon allthe lower part of the town , including therailroad tracks , was under water , fr'om fiveto twenty foot deep. Fifty houses nt leastare ruined and many families are withoutshelter and bedding. Merchants are loaningblankets to destitute families and provisionsarc being furnished to those In need-

.It.

Is reported here that two men weredrowned , ono while attempting to save hisproperty and another who rushed to his as-sistance.

¬

.The cause of the disaster was warm

weather, coupled with heavy rains , whichcaused a rapid molting of the snow In themountains. Snake river rose elcht fcot to-

day¬

, a fact unparalleled as far as the memory ;

of the oldest Inhabitant runs.This part of Idaho has had the heaviest

fall of snow this winter known for many ,

years , and , melting rapidly. It filled thecreeks and burst the dam. Manager Clarlcwas telegraphed for and went as fast aspossible to the scene of the disaster.-

So.

far , the Mountain Homo reservoir 1 *safe , but fears are felt that It will share tliofate of the Indian creek reservoir.-
