The report that a drench cruiser nad oomoaraea Sagallo, where the Cossack expedition, under A chinos, had settled temporarily, killing of wounding five of the expedition and capturing the re mainder, is confirmed. The bombardment was tho result of a refusal of Acbinoff to lower the Russian flag which he had hoisted at Sagallo. --sts The court room was crowded this morning when the Parnell Commission reassembled! The cross examination of Richard Pigott was continued. He admitted writing a letter to Archbishop Walsh, whidh Sir Russell produced in court, and which contained the statement that the documentary evidence to be produced before the commission could be rendered harmless by an exposure of the means by which it had been obtained. At the suggestion of Presiding Justice Hanner, Archbishop Walsh's letter to Pigott, par of which was read yesterday, was read cxUmo.

The Archbishop referred to the fact that there had been systematic lying concerning the Naturalist cause. The witness now admitted receiving this letter. He said that when he wrote to the Archbishop he was in very distressed circumstances, owing to having received no money Houston. Witness' other1 work had been neglect ed and lost. therefore wrote to Archbishop Walsh, hoping that he would submit tho matter to the Parnell members of the House of Commons aud induce them I to provide the wit ness with means with which to leave the country, in.

The sight was a beautiful one. but there was an nnromantic side alse, for many trees were ruined by the breaking of limbs and wires were clown in all directions. The telephone system was completely disabled, and there was no communication by the fire alarm telegraph between the city and the pump house. Telegraph wires were all in a tangle and no dispatches could ba sent. A light rain fell for a while this morning and the snow melted quite rapidly.

A good many sleighs were out, but owing to the soft character of the snow the sleighing was poor.f The snowfall is the heaviest since the middle of March, 1885, when sixteen inches fell here, and over three feet forty miles north of here. The legislators came home in their special train from Newbero at 2 o'clock this morning. They were pretty tired and hungry. Newborn was overrun with people yesterday, and the fooci supply was hardly enough for the un expectedly great demands. The belief here now is that the Railway Commission bill will not pass! That is the state of the case, as far as your correspondent can gather from interviews.

The matter is of course of the most extreme importance. 1 The proposed football game between University and Wake Forest College teams was again necessarily postponed on account of the snow. All the teams were here and the Trinity team alsol Of course they were disappointed. The most elegant entertainment of the season here, and one of the most pleasant ever given in Raleigh, was held this eyemng at the handsome club house of the Capital Club. a reception in special compliment to the ladies, and was by card.

The entire buijding was decorated with flowers furnished by Steinmetz, and a string band discoursed pleasing musicj The members ot the Club were present in full strength, and made most agreeable hosts. On behalf of the Club the following ladies received: Mrs. JasJ McKee, Charles E. Mrs. Thomas S.

Kenan, Mrs. A. Bi Andrews, Mrs. F. H.

Busbee, Mrsi Gedrge Snow and Mrs. V. Ei Turner. Tho reception committee was composed of the following gentlemen: Messrs. Charles M.

Basbee, James McKee, Thomas S. Kenan, E. C. Smith and E. B.

Engelhard. Invitations were sent to the clubs at Win -ston, Asheville, Wilmington, Norfolk and Richmond. The snowy leather outside only made the scene within the building the brighter. There was dancing in the handsome parlor, and a supper was served with great taste. The club bad many guests, and made all at home.

It was a fitting observance of Washington's birthday. Not a few visitors were from out of town. Gov. Fowler and some of his party came home this afternoon from New-bern on a special train. Your correspondent came home yesterday, in company with others of the party.

Raleigh was well represented at Chapel Hill to day, and some belles of this city figured at the dance last even ing, which was a very gay affair. Some of the handsome and large; magnolias here are to-day damaged by the snow, especially thos3 in the capi- tol square, lho magnolia is a very brittle tree, The Signal and Chronicle this week have a great deal to say about the Bureau of Labor statistics. It is a current belief that there will be'sOme steps taken to abolish the bureau. There may be nothing in this rumor. There was a bill yesterdayin the House to lop off various appropriations made from Agricultural Department funds, among them the one setting apart the! appropriation for the maintenance of the Labor Bureau.

The purpose of this bill is to the more quickly put the Agricultural and Mechanical College in shape, since it will then get more funds. If it passes a direct appropria tion will have to be made from the treasury for the maintenance of the bureau. Thfr public schools were all closed to-day. and most of the public buildings. The Legislature went on with its work, the members saying that they would just as soon be in the Capitol as to be lounging about the hotels.

The first resolution nroridinsr for a meettcg of tbe House daily at 10 o'clock with the allowance of an hour for the consideration of bills by unanimous consent was agreed to by all of the member; on the second resolution making the Cowles International Revenue- bill a special order and requesting its consideration to a condition, the Democratic members divided. Speaker Carlisle and Mr. Mill voting against and Mr. Randall with the IUnubtieans. Messrs.

Reed and Cannon, for the insu lation. It will be reported immediate ly to the House with tho blank date- filled to as to require the bill to bo- taken up next Monday. In addition- i the Speaker has promised to recognise Mr. Randall at any time before tho end of the session, to make a motion. to go into Committee of tbe Whole to consider revenue bills, The Commit tee also decided to report resolutions providing ror ine consideration to-day of bills to pension General 8bendaa widow, and to place General Hois craus on the retired list of the array.

If Mr. Randall succeeds iu eeltieg the resolution from the Committee on Rules relative to the Cowles bill before the House, and does not immediately demand the previous question, it tho intention of Mr. Matson, of Indian, chairman of the Committee ou Icralta Pensions, to offer an amendment providing that tbe day following thX it apart tor the Cowles bU be et apart for the consideration of the bill repealing pension arrears limitation, under tho same terms and conditions in all respects as to the dicusioti ordering tko previous question aud takiuga yea and nay vote on the parage thereof. Mr. Matson says that this is the fiit opportunity he has bad to move such a motion, owing to tho refusal of the Committee on Rules to report a resolution to which his amendment would be germane.

how that Mr. Randall has achieved his purpose of demonstrating tho fact that a large majority of ihe House is in favor of a repeal of the Tobacco Tax (as indicated by the vote to dsy he will probably not press the resolution setting apart a day for action on the Cowles bill, until the Deficiency and Indian Appropriation bills have passed the House. By that time Mr. Mills will have made up his mind what course to outsue, and if he decides to oppose the resolution to the extent of adopting dilatory tactics, no farther legislation is likuly to be achieved by the present House beyond action on certain conference reports, which may be unobjectionable to both wiLgs of the Democrscv.

The Gold Letf. We believe that one of the greatest drawbacks to prosperity in this coun try is bad roads.

If the farmers were to sit down and calculate the loss resulting them from bad'roads over which they have to carry their produce to market, or their purchases from the nearest railroad town, they would find that they above all men should be the firct to bestir themselves to secure good roads. Bad roads mean to our agricultural population loss of time, decrease in the value of their, marketable products and no inconsiderable loss in wear and tear of vehicles and horses.

Then Mr. Reed, of Maine, from the Committee on Rules, reported a resolution for the jimmediate consideration of the Senatej bill granting a pension to irene Kucner Sheridan. Mr. Breckenridge. of Kentuckv.

raised the question of consideration, and Mr, Chandler, of Indiana, raised tne point ot no quorum. JLhe House determined, veas 174. nays G2, to consider the resolution.

Fremont as a Major ueneral, but under the terms of the I resolution the previous question was ordered on the bill, and tne amendment could not be received. The bill was then taken up and was vigorously opposed by Mr. Struble, of Iowa. He wished to put himself on record as opposed to the bill. It was not good policy to continue on the line of encouraging soldiers in the regular army, after having been educated by the Government, to retire from the service with a view of accepting civil positions.

It was political and demoralizing to the regular service. Mr. Bland inquired whether the gentleman had not voted to place Gen. Grant on the retired list 1 Mr. Struble replied that he had made Grant a grand exception.

He then opposed the bill on the ground that Rosecrans had villified Gen. Grant, and had declared that Grant was a scoundrel. This man who had villified the namo of the country's hero came here to-day and asked for aidi-without a word of apology, or withoufshowing that he had changed his opinion. He would not filibuster against the passage of the bill, but he asked the gentlemen on batn sides of the House to yote against it. Could gentlemen on the other side, who owed so much the great heart of Grant; could gentlemen on the Republican side, who had followed him.

cast their votes for a man who had nqver ceased to slander the fair name of the grand old commander? I Mr. Anderson, of Iowa, yielded to no man in his respect and reverence to the memory of Grant; at one time he had felt in consequence of an assault made by Rosecrans upon Grant that he coufd never forgive' Rosecrans, but he had changed with time and he had come to the conclusion that the thing to do in view of the great infirmities of human nature, which attached to greatest heroes was to vote for this bill. With all Grant's heroism and greatness he had his imperfections, and from time to time after the war had made criticisms of men wmcn ne had atterwards re gretted. He j(Anderson) was willing to believe that brave soldiers throughput the length and breadth of the country would in the lotfg run justify a vote in favor of the bill. Applause.

The bill was further discussed at great length by Messrs. Boutelle, of line.
