Many very seriuiis charges have been preferred against Bickel, among others that of embezzlement. The investigation has not proceeded fur enough yet to indicate the result, but those who are in a position to know the inside facts openly express the opinion that enough will be proven to warrant Uickel's removal. Many think Illtkel much to blame as Brownleo for the unfortunate light that has been going on in the ofllco hero and since the hitter's removal tho opinion seems to prevail that there ought to bo a clean sweep, and lln 1 olllce filled by entirely sew men.

WAPIIIMITIIN, April fifth day of the contest on the direct tax bill was opened in tho house to-day withotr signs of weakening on either Bide. At the conclusion of one roll call Mr of Alabama, inquired whether the friends of the bill would permit three hours debate upon It without conditions In reply, Mr. Heed, of Maine, formulated the proposition of the friends ol the measure. They were ready, ho said, to grant any time which might be re inired for a full and complete debate, desii ing simply that the previous question should be considered as ordered, and vote betaken on tho passage of the bill at some definite time. Mr.

Oates suggested that that was substantially the same proposition which luid previously been offered. Mr. Held admitted that it was substantially the same, and said that he was happy to state that the friends of the bill had been perfectly willing to do the reasonable thing from tho first to the last. Mr. Onttis said that the gentleman, on the other side were conscious of their power to vote down every amendment and pass the bill, leaving tho opponents no opportunity to compromise.

AU legislation proceeded on the idea of compromise, and if he agreed that tho previous question should be order on the bill in advance, all the majority would awe to do would be to sit still and vote down any amendment. The arrangement simply asked the opposition to fix an hour when it was willing to strike its colors and surrender. Mr. Keod replied that under the constitution the majority was competent to decide what amendments it would adopt; what it would reject; what bills it would and what bills it would refuse to pass. His proposition simply exercised that constitutional right.

Under tho constitution, "legislation was the result of the action ot the majority," and not tho result of the yielding uf Ulu members to 02 members of a question which the houso was perfectly competent to deal with. The majority was eager to allow any amount ot debate att'l any number of amendments. If the uiiiundiueuts were adopted the matter would go into conference, if not the bill would pass as it stood and would puss by virtue of having a majority of representatives of the United Slates iu favor of it. Mr. Oates said that it was perfectly clear thai under the constitution -the house had the right to make its rules ol proceedure.

It had done so. Under these rules the regular course was that when the general debate ended in committee of the wholo the bill should be read paragraph by paragraph for amendment aud debate, under the live-minute rule. When the cousideiaiion of the bill was completed, the majority could report it to the hoiisH, and tho previous question could be ordered upon it. lublead of proceeding majority required the opponents to agrae iu advance that tho previous question should be ordered at a particular time. Mr.

Heed suggested that the majority was endeavoring to proceed iu the regular order and hud a motion pending to go into committee of the whole, but the prweedure was interrupted by the geti- tleinau aud his friends, and again the attempt to compromise having failed the battle was resumed. After another roll call, Mr. Taylor proposed that the house go into committee of the whole, general debate to be limited to one hour, but no limitation to be nxed upon the debate under the llve- niinute rule. Mr. Oites said that he would make au answer to that proposition in an hour or BO.

Mr. Taylor suggested that the gentleman might have until Monday to con sider the proposition he wUUed to make a motion for a recess until that day. Mr. will let you know in a short time." 80, although the compromise waa not immediately agreed to, the prospecta are brightening for a temporary break of the deadlock. liy unanimous consent the house took a recess until 11:45 Mouduy, notwithstanding the apparent willingness of the opponents of the direct tax bill to accept Air.

Taylor's proposition, that the go into a committee of the whole upon the measure without any limitation being placed upou the five minute debate and without any agreement as to a definite time when the previous question should be considered as ordered. The parliamentary status of the bill remain unchanged. On Wednesday last Mr. Taylor made a motion to go into committee of the whole (without any reference being made to the time of ordering the previous question) aud it was against this motion that the opponents of the bill proceeded to resort to obstructive measures. Subsequently iu the various submitted by Mi.

Taylor there was also a stipulation that the final votu on the bill should be taken at a specified time, but to this stipulation Mr. Gates and his followers uniformly objected. While the proposition now submitted and which probably will be accepted does not contain this stipulation it practically brings the house back to the situation It occupied whan Mr. Taylor nub mitted his first motion.

The Standard agreed to give the producers association the profits on 5,000,000 barrels of it, if the association would agree to cut down its production 17,500 barrels per day, and refrain from opening new wells. The first act of the Producers' Association was to set aside the profits of 1,000,000 barreln for labor affected by the shut down.

They went back to the Standard ami squeezed another million barrels from it for the same purpose. The stock on band on April 1st was about There hud been a daily average reduction of 25,000 barrels since thn contract had been in force with the Standard.

NEW YuiiK, April Conkling had the first good night's rest last night which he has Imd since the beginning of liis sickness, a week ago Friday. The greatest pains have heen taken, both at the senator's residence, No. 0, west Twenty-fourth street, and by the physician in charge, to keep quiet the report of his patient's sickness. It was desired to save his friends unnecessary anxiety.

The senator has been, however, a very sick man, and has suffered Acutely. The trouble is an abscess in the region of the right ear, deep id the head. The symptoms developed into intlatnation of the nemlirane of the brain. The discharge from the seat of trouble came through the right ear and was very profuse. 'I his seemed to relieve the patient considerably.

He got little or no sleep until last njght. The sickness was Bupvvinduceil, it is thought, by attending a hearing last week at which the room was kept very cold. In addition to this it is thought that tlie senator's experience in walking home on the. afternoon of the great blizzard hud much do with weakening his system, and making him liable to Mich attacks. His Dndllibn this evening is iiiucii improved md his physicians expect that he will be much better still to-morrow.

They con- linue to prescribe complete rest and liiiot, and during the (lay he received no visitors, not oven his most intimate 'rionds. TUB 51 HUKtl'A CBNTKNNIAL.

York Hr.Ki.iN, April rlnte Alexander, of Hattenberg, comes to Cimrlottesburs next Thursday and his betrothal to Princess Victoria bikes place early In June. Prince Rismnrck has withdrawn his resignation solely from the consideration that tho domination of Kmprens Victoria- would speedily lead to the break up of German unity. Nothing since the accession of Kmperor Frederick has occurred that has BO strongly animated the Prussian conservatives against tho Empress as the marriage question. It now becomes known that the empress will Impel her helpless husband to thwart I'riuce Bismarck without regard tho respect due to tho ate emperor or to the national safety.

The policy the conservntivci at this time represents the genuine feel- tigs of the whole German people. AH of the radical newspapers, such as tho Xeitniiff, which treats tho ISnt- tenberg question with disdain, as of no consequence to tho German policy ignore tho fact that liatteuberg is only ouo ihord-in the general discord struck by the party of the empress. The reticence. if tho Berlin press in referring to court intrigues has been greater tuna was required by deference to the emperor anil oilktfrs of state. Matters IIIIVB been concealed or only furtively uliudml to which ought to be discussed with the ullcst publicity.

Tho Uuttenborg marriage is only one of a number of court ntrigues. An olllciai note sent, is sometimes now happens, through Vienna, says that in cou- sequcmco of a memorandum laid ba- 'ore the emperor by Prince Jiismarck, letting forth the diflleulties which from i political point of view stand iu the way of a matrimonial alliance between Prince Alexander, of lintteiiherg, aud I'rincess Victoria, it luu boon arranged hut the itttiir shall bo postponed until the political objections now raised thall to operate. The establiihuisnt of settled order in IJulgiirin, ami tho removal of all possibility uf Alexander raising rallying cry will deprive tho ntirnagH of all political iinpor- ance. The visit of the queen England Uharlottenberg, therefore, will take place as arranged, but the beiroilial will jot publicly bo brought forward on the occasion, This is an olllciai statement ind simply means that Prince Bismarck's idvice baa been overruled. The queen of England comes here with ler tiuttenberg proteges to cuiry out her family projects without regard for luu sentiments of the German nobility, or the German people, aud equally regardless that her daughter, the empress, thwartu policy of the minister who made her impress, without whom imperial Ger- might cease to be.

Nothing in Prince Bismarck's life is so lonorable, so full of Belf-cuiumiiud and loyalty to Germany as his temporary submission to tho emperor's regime. He has the enthusiastic support of Count von Moltke and other leaders of tho iriny and the leaders of the conservative mil national liberal parties, and even has -he begrudged approval of the progress- chiefs. The chancellor dues not, rely on the military party. Ua His the support of the whole country mil of the royal heads of the German 'ederatiou, aud Is absolute muster of tho situation. The emperor's condition gave rise to seri'ius alarm yesterday, both his cough and spittings were augmented and he suffered from nervous excitement.

Today's bulletin says that for several nights le bad not been able to sleep well. I ha malady from which he is now suffering appears to be moving from the baek- lotie of the larynx to the front, which iu regarded by physicians as a favorable symptom, because the danger of the disease attacking the wsophugus will be thus HI rested. The empress will go to Posen on Monday to inquire into the condition of tho tmtferera by the Hoods. Dreadful accounts have heen received from Poawu. Twenty-five villages are iu ruins and II fteen thousand persona are without shelter.

Wheu tho dyke at Wortlie gave way a large number of lives were lost. The loss in live stock is incalculable. The fund raised by subscription iu Herliii for the relief ot the buiferern is nsignillcant iu comparison with the osses.
