New York, April 20.—Dan Mace, the veteran driver, died yesterday afternoon at his home, 811 West Forty-seventh street, of Bright's disease. professional work for more than two years. He went to the Hot Springs recently, hop- ing to be benefited, but returnec a fortnight ago in a weakened condition. He grew worse almost im- mediately after his arrival and was confined to his bed. Medicine was given to him during the last few days only torelieve him of pain, He awoke very weak yesterday morning and called to his wife in a low voice. This is my last race,” he said, “and I'm nearly at the wire.“ His sister, Mr. Fen- ton, and Mr. and Mrs. Dan Walton and Mrs. Potter, were about his bedside in the afternoon. He was stinking rapidly. Theservants were called in and stood with bowed heads at the foot of the bed. “Good-by; good-by, all,” he said and kissed his wife. His head sank back on the pillow and he died a moment later. Last night the body was placed in a coffin inthe front parlor, and roses were strewn about it. To-morrow at noon funeral services will be held at St. Chrysostom's Episcopal Church, at Seventh avenue and Thirty-ninth street. Rev. Dr. Sill will officiate. The remains will be sent to Boston and buried in the family plat at Winchester. Dan Mace was born at West End, Boston, on May 28, 1884. His passionate fondndess for horses, which he showed from early boyhood, was inherited from his father, old Dan Mace, who was A NOTED STABLE KEEPER of Boston. His father wanted to have bim to learn a trade, and suggesied horseshoeing to the lad as a — thing for a wor to know. But young Dan pre- erred being in the saddle to fussing around a horse's hoofs, and told his fatherso. He used to tell the story of his first horseback ride with great gusto. One day, while he was at play about the stable his father puta r of — his shoes and set him upon an old flea-bitten gray horse called Jerry. “Now ram the spurs in,” the old man said, and as young Dan jabbed the steel ngs into the very venerable steed, his father hit the horse a resounding blow with the whip on the flank. Old Jerry jumped as if he had shot, and started away with all the - that was in him. You Dan clung fast till the horse ran himself out of breath. It was the first lesson in an art he afterward made himself master of. “I was never so scared in my lite.“ Dan said, but after that jolting ride I was never afraid to handie any animai | ever saw. After that he trained himself at handling trotters. His first public appearance asa driver was made with Old Bones, a chestnut pacer. He called the horse a hummer. Then be got Gray Eagie,a run- ner. Whenever town races were run Mace used to spring on Old Bones“ back, with Gray Eagle leisure- ly following at the former's heels, and entered for the small and $85 purse when he got to the race grounds. Old Bones was madly sprung in both knees, but he had a steed 2: behind his cheap and broken down exterior, and LOOKED rn It was not until 1841 that Mace made a regular on ; to handie seme of the fastest ‘trotters of these days. He gave up Old Bones and ve a horse called Buck to vi several times. By this time horse owners began to look on him as a mighty clever young driver and nicknamed him “Whole- bone” use of his singular escape with whole bones in accidents which might have killed less tough men. On more than one occasion he was picked up from the track senseless and apparently dying. But he always recovered without any serious results to his sturdy phfsique. After he won with Buck, his father feit so proud of him that he put him in charge of Tom Benton and Farmer Boy, both of whom he owned, whenever they were matched in races which old Jack Somerindike, the veieran turfman, went to Boston especially to arrange and bet on. Mace's fame after some years got to be national and be was sought after by great horse owners all over the country. In his prime he bandied noted trotters for Robert Bonner, Wm. Vanderbilt, Wm. Turnbull, H. M. Smith, Wm. Lovell, Eph Simmons, Harry Get, Jesse Marshall, S. Foster Dewy, Frank Work, ard many other own- ers ot expensive horse flesh. Among the trotters that made bg records at his hands were: Lady Thorne, American Girl, Mountain Boy, George M. Patcber’s Pocahontas, Ethan Allen, Judge Fullerton, Lady Shearman Lady Litchfield, Boston Girl, Duchess, General Butier, Shark, Tom Hyer, Daniel Webster. Pilot, Major Rogers, Kilburn Jim, Medoc, Rhode Island, George Wilkes, Fearnaught, Old Pat, Quaker, Twang, Jim Fisk, Elia Sherwood and frrutce, On the subject of Lady Thorne, Mace was A PERENNIAL ENTHUSIAST. He said she was the greatest trotter the world ever roduced, and insisted she could trot a mile in 2:10 E harness or in 2:15 to wagon. Mace was the first driver who ever drove a trotter with running mate inside of 2:20. He sent Ethan Alien a mile on a jog in 2:15, and, at Buffalo, on August 6, 1872, he won bay geiding, Sleepy John, and he won the first 9,0% purse wita Harry Harley at Buffalo, in A 1870. He also won the 2:30 purse of $10.000 with Kilburn Jim on the same track. Mace drove the gray gelding Hopeful toa wagon over the C course a me in 2:1 which is the fastest o ever trotted to a wagon by any horse, mare or gelding in the world. His greatést achievement was driving the bay stallion Ethan Allen and running mate to a wagon, a mile in 2:15, beating Dexter in barness over the Fashion Course in 1867. Speaking of Pochabontas ove day, Mace said: In the summer of 1865 the bay mare Pocahontas was sept to me at the 1 me oe — of Boston, to trot i . Hammon estu mare Rosamond. i friend Hiram Woodruff had Rosamond at the Union Track. We trotted the mare at Boston, and Pocahontas beat Rosamond easily.

New York, April 20.—Harry Reiusen and Rutgers Van Brunt are two of the most popular young men in the St. Nicholas Club. Theformer is the son of Mr. Wm Remsen of Waverly Place, while the lat- ter, as his name signifies, has a lineage of unadult- erated Knickerbocker quality. Indeed, the ancestors of both smoked their pipesin New Amsterdam under Peter Stuyvesant and are consequently in high favor in the St. Nicholas Club, which, as all the world knows, admits none within its exclusive portals who is not a genuine Knickerbocker. Mr. Remsen is short and thick set, a decided blonde witha carefully trimmed Vandyke beard. He is more or less of an athlete and has many tales of prowess to relate around the club fire. Mr. Van Brunt is tall and finely formed, & brunette Apollo, and also wears a Vandyke beard, but of raven hue.

April 20.—A member of Presi- dent Barrios’ household, in a letter written to a relative in this city, gives some interesting informa- tion concerning the movements of the late Gen. Barrios.

TROUBLE IN A CHURCH CHOIR. St. Paul's Chapel Enjoys the Luxury of Two Bodies of Singers. There is considerable feeling among the members ot St. Paul's Chapel (colored), corner of Eleventh and Christy avenue, over the choir trouble which occurred last evening. Rev. W. M. Beckby has been pastor of the church for a long time, and has been assisted in his good work by Mr. Gilbert, who is the leader of and has been managing the choir for some time and to the perfect satisfaction ot all the members of the church. Last night, however, when Mr. Gilbert and his choir were about to sing, George Henderson, with a lot of singers, appeared on the scene with word from the minister to the effect that he (Henderson) and his choir were to attend to the singing. No reason was given for the displacement of Mr. Gilbert. and for a few moments there was considerabie confusion, as both choirs be- gan singing. Finally, Mr. Gilbert withdrew aad Mr, enderson held the fort. Gilbert, to use the words of one of the parishioners, “has held the choir for over thirty years and haa been serving faithfully through rains, snows, sleets, hails and storms.” The general impression among the members seems to be that Mr. Beckby should have remembered this fact, and not ee: ee another man in his place without some good reason. “ONE EARED BILL.” A Gold Medal for the Discoverer of De Long's Party.

The Cororier’s inquest in the Southern Hotel mur der case was resumed this morning at 10 o'clock. MR. SOL BAUMAN was the first witness called, and on being shown a picture of Maxwell, said: “I recognize this picture as that of a gentleman with whom I traveled on the train on the night of the 6th inst. I was going to Carthage and first saw him after leaving Springfield. I was smoking a cigar and this gen- tleman was standing on my right. We got to talk- ing, and from bis conversation I knew him to bea foreigner, English I thought, and having travelea somewhat in England myself, I asked him what part of England he was from He said he was not an Englishman, but either an Irishman, Frenchman or a French-Irishman. We then drifted intoa general conversation, in the course of which he said he was in the employ of the Turkish Government and was seeking points for that Government m this country. Ha was smoking cigarettes and I noticed he dropped several. He seemed to be very nervous, for as soon as he rolled them and lit them, he seemed to drop them. I didn't consider him a very smart man, as he rambled from one subject to another.

Thesleeves were toa long and it was entirely out of place for so small a man. It was what they call a regular German smok- ing gown. I noticed a ring on bis finger. I think it was a diamond ring. When read the le in the Poste Dispaton before I had read it one quarter of the way, it flashed across my mind that I had traveled with the man claimed to be the murderer, The description did not exactly tally with him, a- I think it made him a taller man than the one | trav- eled with. I went to Aloe’s, however, and tele- phoned Chief Harrigan, I thought I had traveled with Maxwell and could ive him some information. When shown the Maxwell picture, I at onte ized the one I have before me as the man I traveled with. ‘lafterwards met Mr. Edgar and it struck me he was in the same train, an asked him if he remembered the little incident on a smo car.

Mr. Philip Kramer of the New Vork Bhurable Life Insurance Company was also on the train. 1 saw him yesterday and he can give some news in this matter. Maxwell said he was merely out here on business for the Turkish Government. I can’t say that the man acted as it he felt entirely free and easy." MR. HENRY BARMEIER was next placed on the stand, and being shown a photograph of Maxwell, said: “I could not say positively that this is the man with whom I traveled on the train on the night of the th with Mr. Bau- man.

ROACH said, on being handed a photograph: I recognize this as a persou whom I saw avout fifteen years ago and knew as Walter Maxwell. Of course he was a good deal younger then, but I ree- coguize in this picture the features of my former acquaintance, I first knew him at Clevedon College, Northampton, Northamptoashire, England. He was there a year before I came. Lie was from the county of Staffordshire. His father was the owner of large potteries there. His father was not a man of ttle, but was very wealthy. His son George was at tue. college at the same time. Ido not think W. H. J. Maxwell was a physician, ink he tried to pass ’ th an nation, but I think he failed. His brocher isa physician. W. H. J. Maxwell and his brother were very eccentric. The elder brother particu- lariy was a sullen, dogged man. This man (W. H.

N. His Chances for Escape. ; | The speculation which is rife regarding the possi- bility of Maxwell eluding pursuit by leaving the steainer Sydney at Honolulu, gives the case an un- certainty that makes very interesting any informa- tion about that long journey now being taken by . the murderer. Mr. A. M. Weiss of the Krafft- r Holmes Company, spent ten years in China and @long the coast, and is thoroughly acquainted with the lines of ocean travel between San Francisco and the far East. In conversation yesterday Mr. Weiss said: There is stronger probability of Maxwell throwing off pursuit at Honolul: than is supposed. There is a quite general impression that he would have to wait at that port to catch some outgoing vessel, but that is anerroneous idea. Honolulu is a large shipping port, and its harbor is constantly ul 0 ships. It has as large a representation of the ocean trade as any in the cific. The * from China and Japan do not stop there, and the only only ones that do, except the regular trame boats to and from San Francisco and Honolulu, are the Austra- lian and New Zealand vessels. The Pacific Mail steamers go about sixty miles from Honolul sometimes within twenty-five or thirty m the ody being visible from che top of the masts. If in want of coal or repairing they some- 4 times stop there.“ f A0 nat would be Maxwell’? course on arriving at N / Tae harbor is full of boats that cruise around the } islands, and on any of these Maxwell without going ashore at ali, Once off, he could cruise around for several montas from island to island. Again Maxwell could go into the interior on a sugar piantation, and could effectualiy hide himself for some time. Again, there being plenty of whaling boats at the port, he wouid ship ou one of those and not be com- to touch land for two years o More. But 1 ve confidence tuat no such course will be open to him, The Aiameda, on which the order was sent to , the Honolulu authorities to hold Maxwell, is the fastest steamer without doubt on the Pacific,, and, though two days behind the Spdoey, will very lixe- ly overtake her before reaching Honolulu, as the journey nearly occupies ten days. Extradition Procedure, Circuit Attprney Clover and Assistant McDonald held a conference to-day on the advisability of ca!l- ing a special jury to indict Maxwell for extradition. The conclusion was arrived at after examining the law that the plan was impracticable. After discuss- ing the matter they expressed themselves as be- : lieving that an indictment for the pur of extradition is practically value besides being an unnecessa expense. il extradition treaties between thig-and — countries, 1 tha * others w be almost impossible), or, secondly, 1 amg depositions, properly certitied 2 b who issues 4 the warrant of arrest. in evidence in + — late proceed bef KK ngs ore a ma ate in the fra place, and uire that the magistrate certify that the depositions are either the original or correct copies which he issued the warrant of arrest copies compared, eta. all an information murder, my story, he said: “Well, my dear boy. 1 ha at Hot 8 for over à month past, and ke most peo 4 ve been there for such sufficiently from the da pres 1 . a y N he hot t to ve accounts some — and it is im on that Dr. Maxwell is the murderer entifica- case — study the developments with interest.

Bond, a member of the Legislature, has just received an advance copy of the general appropriation bill passed by the Legislature at its last session. It setsat rest the question as to the amount of money the State bas at its control for the apprehension of such men as Maxwell. Section 9 appropriates $10,000 for the apprehension of crim- * and suppresslon of outlawry.

Having just arrived here, I observe Crowley's sug- gestion, If you need co-operation of State Depart- ment or of any foreign representatives in intercept- ing the fugitive murderer at any point in his line of flight, advise me of precise action desired.

Mr. Thomas B. Harvey to-day handed to Chief of Detectives Burke the following letter from a friend wiuo happened to mest Maxwell on ship board: “Macon, Miss., April 17, 1885. “I read accounts of the Maxwell-Preller murder.

Preller at the Southern Hotel, prominent. mention has been made of a re- ligious order, the cardial points of which are but little known to the general newspaper readers. A spirit of trnsting fellowship has been shoWn in many of the letters and telegrams published and a faith and confidence among the parties whose names have 2 in the horrible affair bas been the subject of remark. Prelier was one of this admirable brotherhood among whom his good re spread, Among bis effects were found letters from men in the introducing bim to persons throughout the country, whose faces had never been seen by the writer. News ot his advent had been forwarded, and the te egrams from San Francisco state this worning that arrival of Preller on the o slope Was awaited with anxiety. His visit was on business with those of a different faith, and his expectant hosts could not be se.fisa wotive. No sevresy tation had moved Christian charity.

Lowpon, April 20.—The situation of the Russo-Af- ghan question has again become very serious, ow- ing to Russia increasing her demands to such an ex- tent that it will be impossible for England to accept such terms. Mr. De Giers, the Russian premier, who is evidentiy determined to profit by his recent successes in negotiating with the English Foreign Office, has apparently decided not to yield a single iota to Earl Granville It is now feared that Russia has overstepped the‘bounds of British forbearance, as it is asserted on high authority that England will never succumb to latter demands of the Rus- sian Premier. A large number of important dis- patches have passed between the English and Rus- sian Foreign Offices on Saturday and on Sunday. All the members of the Cabinet remained in London on Sunday, awa‘ting a reply from Russia to the lat- est from Earl Granville Dispatches from Cron- stadt state that the Russians fleet there has been ordered to prepare for war instantly, and that thir- ty-two Russian men-of-war have hoisted their flags and put to sea.

Earl Granville, the British Foreign Minister, stated this afternoon in the House of Lords, that the Government had received a dispatch from Sir Beter Lumsden. The contents of this dispatch, Eari Granville said, the Government were not prepared to make public any further than to state that it contained a contradiction of the account of the Penj-dch incident as given by General Komaroff. The Government were, Earl Granville said, expecting further telegrams from Sir Peter Lumsden, and until they were received the Government would no: be prepared to make any further statement. ' GLADSTONE'S DODGE FOR TIME. Mr. Gladstone, in the House of Commons, this afternoon, made the following statement: The Government on Friday received a dispatch from Sir Peter Lumsden, but this tlegram was not an answer to our inquiries and instructions dispatched to him on the 10th instant. It will be necessary to await chat answer before we can make any state- ment. Thetelegram received from Sir Peter Lums- den on Friday, tended to confirm his previous statements, which certainly, apparently, conflicted with Gen. Komaroffes statements.“ CONSIDERING LORD DUFFERIN'S DISPATCHES. The Cabinet met to-day to consider the contents of a number of important dispatches just received from Lord Dufferin.

THE ROMANCE OF A SHIPWRECK. Haurrax, N. S. April 20.—A romance has come to light, connected with the ill-fated steamship Daniel Steinmann, which was wrecked at Sambro a year ago. when 124 lives were lost. Previous to his leav- ing home, Peter Andrus Michaelsen. one of the passengers, deposited $39,570 and some yaluables for safe-keeping with one Herschied of Hasle, Den- mark, and took a receipt therefor. Probably imagining that no legal evidence would be forth- coming that he had the money, Herschied refused to return it to the dead man's relatives. Thereupon the Danish foreign minister communicated with Mr. Tobin, the Danish consu! at this port, request- ing him to spare no efforts to find the receipt. The bodies and wreckage washed ashore from time to time have been carefully searoſted. and the divers, who have been working on the wreck for the past year, have keptasharp lookout for the missing document, but all without success. Recently a smail trunk was washed ashore containing a num- ber of letters and papers. These were turned over to the consul. They were water-soaked and the writing almost obliterated, but among them was the long-looked for receipt, which, after much dif- ficulty, Consul Tobin deciphered and translated. He has cabled the good news to Copenhagen. Germany. BISMARCK TO RECUPERATE. Bunt. April 20.—It is understood that Bismarck will soon leave for Carlsruhe to recuperate, Italy. REV.

Foster & Company Assign With Liabilities $200,000. „ — An Old Firm Forced to the Wall by Eastern Creditors—What the Principals Say — Judgments Confessed for Over $25,000, A great deal of surprise was created in mercan- tile circles to-day by the aunouncement that the firm of R. R. Foster & Co. had gone up. The or- igin of the rumor was found in the statement that early this morning Foster & Co, had confessed judgments amounting in all to $25,882; that Mr. R. R. Foster had given a chattel mortgage to William M. Foster on the furniture in his house for $1,500: and that he had also given a warranty deed for his real estate on Weils avenue to the same party for $1,500. As soon as the judgments were given, they were, one to the Bank of Commerce for 85.000; to Ward & Foster of New York for $15,449 92, and to Chas. G. Foster individua ly. for $5,882. The papers were put into the bands of the Sheriffanda levy made on the stock atthe premises No. 809 N. Second street. The Sheriff took possession of the stock about 11 o'clock this Ir. The firm of R. R. Foster & Co., has been long and favorably known in St. Louis con mercial circles. Since 1880, the house has been composed of R. R. Foster and John J. Ryan. About a year ago it was presumed to WORTH AT LEAST $200,000. The business done was almost exclusively the hand- ling of teas and coffees, and it was generaily sup- dthat the firm was making some ga / espite the hard times. It not believed that the failure will prove a bad one. | Those who know best say that Foster & Co. saw the inevitable coming, and met it half way, thus secur- ing all their creditors against any serious loss. The heaviest credits of the firm were placed in New York, Philadelphia, anc San Francisco, but none of the amounts are large enough to cause any serious injury. The first intimation that any one in St. is had that the firm was in trouble arose outof the action of some of the Eastern creditors who offered Foster & Company's paper for sale here at considerable discount on its face value. It is believed that tiis was what percipi- tated the failure. A _ well-posted local financier thinks that the assets will go to $200,000 and the liabilities very little more than that. No assizn- ment had been fleld up to 1 o'clock. It was impos- sible during the morning to get any statemeut trom either of the partners. as neither could be found. THE ASSIGNMENT. About 1 o'clock any 3 au assignment was filed by R. R. Foster & Co,, to R. D. Lancaster. The docu- ment is a short one and simply conveys to the as- signee all of the stock of teas, cigars, eto, iu the premises N.

The country mail of commis- sion men was burdened with complaints, which came in by wire and wordof mouth. Where wheat was not injured the late rains have forced its growth rapidly and it jooks strong and healthy. which ac- counts for the improved reports received late last week. There has been, too, a great deal of oats planted, which presents a green appearance, and to by in railroad cars would look enough like wheat to deceive them into the belief that it was wheat wing. But many fields in Indiana, Illinois and Missouri are said to be as bare as the streets of a city, showing not a sign of vege- tation where last year a full crop was put in. Farm- ers have or are plowing up a great many of these as there is no likelihood, at this advanced time the spring, for the wheatto comeup. A well-known commission man, now on his way legraphed from Indianapolis to his firm that prospects were even worse than re- ported; many fields were bare and farmers were plowin them up.——At present the of wheat from the Atlantic Coast is only fair. The exports of wheat from San Francisco, however, to say nothing of the shipments from Ore- gon, for the first balf of the present month have probably been as great if not in excess of the total shipments from the Atlantic ports.——Late advices from the Northwest state that farmers, in view of the reported serious damage to the winter wheat crop, are making every ible effort to increase the sewing of spring wheat.——Toledo'’s stock of wheat has decreased 68,000 bu. to 2,346,269 bu. ——QOld grim-visaged war can be depended upon to turn up tramps just when the wheat bulls feel the need of outside assistance. It came to the front this morning, and what with lower consols. reports that all negotiations between Russia and England were off, a Russian fleet sailed from Cronstadt un- der sealed orders and a bellicose feeling said to pre- vail in England over Russia's ou de- mands. the speculative markets of America were excited and booming.

Milwaukee's stock of wheat has d ‘ bu to 5,084,855 bu. ——Gov. E. O. Stan the well-known miller, was in Jerseyville, III., urday, and made in- quiries from all the farmers he could see, as well * personal observations on his own ac- count. e reports he brings back is glowing enough, and he expressed ites his opinion that the wheat crop of Illinois will not be over a third to half of last year's crop. The Markets. FORENOOW SESSTON, CLOSING a? I. w Wheat advanced this morning, when the crowd gener- ally looked for a decline.

Ic. KAPPNER, Business Manager. JOHN A. DILLON, Editor. _ —_—_—— H—G— — WE ARE beginning to hear from the country in answer to our call for subscriptions to the Bartholdi Pedestal. Thanks. Tur total amount received in this office up to Saturday night fur the Bartholdi Pedestal was $42107. This is a most successful be- ginning. It represents the kind of a subscrip- tion which was desired—the small offerings of . the many. ! . Tue New York WORLD turned the $30,000 corner with its receipts for the Bartholdi Pedestal Fund Saturday night. This secures the completion of the pedestal. All that is wanted now is that the subscriptions should , come in promptly. ie Iy we understand Mr. StoNE’s new gas bill correctly, it means that there shall be no com- 4 petitian in gas before 1890. If we understand a correctly the public sentiment which expressed itself somewhat plainly before the last election it meant immediate legislation on the gas ques- tion. Some prudent friends of BaYLess W. 1 HANNA, the new minister to Persia, have fig- ured up that it would cost him $2,500 to take his family to Teheran, and the same amount to get them back again. The salary is $5,000 per annum, and at last accounts Mr. HANNA was figuring up how much money he would make out of the mission if it does not suit him, and if he wants to come home in a year. Ir does not look well to see in each Sunday's cable specials from Europe heartrending ac- | counts of the ravages of the cholera in Spain 9 after consgul-general there has officially re- ted that there is no cholera there, and noth- ing to be alarmed about. There is an unusu- ally large number of people who are bent on getting up a cholera scare in this country if it is possible. Such people should be gently, but firmly, removed from positions which they misuse to help their baleful efforts. a ee — Senator Hoar has sneered at the new Administration, saying, “It had solda few . strained horses, discharged a few servants, put q a flag at half mast for the death of a traitor and got rid of twenty detectives at the Treasury Departinent. But how about the policy of the Administration in affairs of more importance! Bilence has been the rule.” The Senator is very much mistaken, On the question of land steals the Administration has spoken very loudly, and it has improved the first month of its power to stop a couple of these swindles. This is a protty good record in a month when we consider that the Republican party has a steady 4 record of twenty years of land steals without 7 a single instance of having ever stopped one 7 swindle, — -— — Ir would be a pretty spectacle indeed if the President should hesitate to enforce his proclamation by expelling the big cattle firms . after the ordinary squatters have been driven “ out of Oklahoma at the point of the bayonet. If the cession of those lands to the Govern- ment did not make them subject to occupation and settlement under the homestead laws, it did not make them subject to lease and occu- pation by cattle men, and no law of the United States has conferred authority upon any one | to grant any such lease. If the army does not . promptly destroy those wire fences and drive 25 out the rich intruders, it can as easily keep back the Western wind as the multitude of land hungry settlers who will swarm into that country. Tun new Kansas law making railroad agents + OF employes pqreonally responsible for the Pes transportation and delivery of liquors which eg are to be sold in violation of law, isa heavy Bi blow at the illicit traffic, and the railroads have gtven notice that the forbidden consignments ~ brit thet the liquor fe, for thelr onal use and not to be resold, It will be remembered that this correspond- ence, when introduced as evidence in the suit of Gen. Couton’s widow against the Central Fa- cific magnates, was carefully guarded from the eye of the press, and that, although the Chron- icle managed to obtain copies of some very startling passages from the letters, there was supposed to be something worse behind, and which newspaper enterprise would not be per- mitted to reach. It will also be remembered that Mr. Justice Fmip' s decisions and his per- sonal relations had exposed him to such a gen- eral odium and suspicion that the Democrats of California, in their State Convention last year, treated him as no other candidate for President was ever before treated by a convention of his own party in his own State. Instead of merely instructing their Chicago delegation for THURMAN, each member of the delegation was instructed and required to pledge himself todo everything in his power to prevent the nomination of Judge FID. The open work of the Central Pacific people for F and the conversion of their old Ro- publican organ, the Alta. into a Democratic paper in the interest of FID were enough to account forthis. But now comes the Chronicle with extracts from the Colton-Huntington cor- respondence in the fall of 1878, showing that that they were in conference with Justice FIELD and were confident of his co-operation, as a Judge of the Supreme Court, in their ef- forts to have the Thurman act declared uncon- stitutional. The bogus Gallatin suit was begun to raise the question of, validity and give it away. Just before that suit was begun, in a letter dated August 9, 1878, CoLTON wrote to HUNTINGTON: When men like Thurman and Edmunds advo- cate the passage of such a bill as the Sinking-Fund act, what protection isthere for property in this country? I have had several long talks with Judge Field, and the hope of the country is in the Supreme Court if the nation is to be saved disgrace. In a subsequent letter he wrote: Judge Field will not sit in the Gallatin case, but will reserve himself for his best effort. I hare no doubt of the final termination of the case at Wash- ington before the full bench. I think that is wise, and that Judge Sawyer will hear the case here, and if Judge Field should take our view of the case on final argument before the Supreme Oourt, it would have more weight with that court than if he had rendered a decision below in our favor in Califor- pla. In a letter dated New York, September 18, 1878, HUNTINGTON distinctly approved the un- derstanding with Fi about the Gallatin suit. A pro forma judgment was to be en- tered by Justice Fre._p’s California colleague, Judge SAWYER, and FIELD was to reserve him- self for the final hearing on the appeal to the Supreme Court. A San Francisco attorney, who caught a glimpse of the importance of the innocent-looking case which was going so swimmingly, put At- torney-General Devens on his guard and warned him that the Central Pacific, not GaL- LATIN, was the real plaintiff, and the real ob- ject a decision by default overthrowing the Thurman act. The consequence was a thor- ough argument of the case, and the Thurman act was sustained, only Fur, STRONG and BRADLEY dissenting. General CoLro is dead and his letters may not be evidence sufficient to sustain any im- peachment, but it is asad thing that the peo- ple of this country must sit helpless and see their Supreme Bench occupied by the ermined attorneys of the great corporation s—by judges about whom such letters can be written, and whose decisions by no means contradict the understanding or conspiracy suggested by Cotton's report of his consultations with FIELD. —_—_——— THE worship of the primrose in England will furnish a very fair test of the possibility of grafting the flowerof sentiment on the tough and hardy fibre of John Bull. Yesterday was “primrose day,” and Englishmen who affect conservative opinions distinguished themselves by appearirig in the streets decked with the flower which consecrates the memory of the late Earl of Beaconsfield. The statue of the dead leader was decorated with the flower, and the Queen sent a wreath to put on his tomb. How long this nonsense will last depends on the capacity of the English tories to make guys of themselves me | President Jackson As An Indorser. From the Courier-Journal. There was an impecunious lawyer in Nashville, but a warm friend to General Jackson, who followed the old hero to Washington in 1829, and was given a clerkship. This clerk contracted debt after debt with boarding-house keepers, and often forgot to pay their bills. At last a lady to whom he owed $100 went to Gen. Jackson and spread the case before him. “Why don't you take his note?” asked the President. “That will do no good,” she replied, for he will never pay it.” Tes he will.“ rejoined the President; go and get his note and bring it here to mo. The clerk, on being informed by the lady that she wanted his note, very readily gave it. Ou her return to the Presidential mansion with the note, the President took it and wrote across the back ia large letters “Andrew Jackson.“ Where- upon he told her to present it to such a broker and he would give her the money for it. She went and was successful. Some days thereafter she let the clerk know that she had got the money on his note. He opened bis eyes in astonishment and exclaimed: “How in the h- did you get money on my note!" “Oh, I had a good indorser,” said she. “And who was such a d—d fool as to indorse my note?” he in- 6ols this season, and most of them are very pretty. The plain coaching parasols in all the new shades come in bright brocades of two tones and with Transparent sunshades are very pretty and be- coming. They come in silk grenadine, with frise or velvet brocaded flowers, and are lined with a crimson, pink or orange silk tissue. For promenad- ing and driving they are very t. Silver and garnet, peacock blue and gold and two tones of gray are the favorite combinations. Very deep fringes of lace are to be worn about seaside parasols and birds, bows of ribbon and clus- ters of flowers are to ornament the outside. General Grant and the Doctors, From the New York World. In a multitude of doctors there may be exceed- ingly wise looks and very little wisdom. Everybody remembers the eminent medical gen- tlemen who punctured poor President Garfield's body, and created pus-tracks, and carved and slashed his flesh to cut out from the front part of his body a buliet which had lodged in his back. Genera! Grant's cancer will perhaps turn out to be as imaginary as the bullet which learned doctors were certain they felt moving in the murdered Garfield's groin. Guiteau was deservedly hanged. No assassin ever went to the gallows whose execution gave so much satisfaction to the people. There was some suspi- cion of accessories before the fact. But, singularly enough, no one ever thought of looking for acces- sories after the fact. General Grant has been seriously ill. But as to the General's cancer, if not found in a vessel, as Garfield’s bullet was, it will be discovered floating inthe imaginations of the learned doctors who have been treating it for five or six weeks, and who will no doubt make use of itin medical books as a marvelous instance of the cure by science of a dis- ease which by nature is incurable. What Evarts Overlooked. From the N. Y. Herald. The Republican wirepullers and lawyers, with Mr. Chandler and Mr. Evarts at their head, who pulled and pettifogged Mr. Hayes into the Presi- dency in 1876, were not so smart or so sharp as they seemed. They strained a great many things (their consciences among the number) to gain a majority of one vote in the Electoral Colleges But they overlooked that General Lawton, the same who has just been appointed Minister to Russia, was liable to a strong doubt of his iawfu! capacity to serve as a Presidential elector. He did so serve without ob- jection, and was President of the Hlectoral College of Georgia, and cast his vote for Mr. Tilden; and neither Mr. Evarts nor Mr. Chandler detected the flaw. But there is nota shadow of doubt that if Mr. Chandler had been smart enough to find it Mr. Evarts would have been sharp enough to furnish law to establish it to the satisfaction of the Electoral Commission How many more electors were there in the same predicament? Lasting Impressions. From the Buffalo Courier. ; It is said that Gen. Grant, while under the influ- ence of morphine, fights over all his battles, call- ing his old staff officers about him in his dreams. This is natural. The supreme moments of his life seem to come back in the death agony, and toa great soldier the crisis of a battle cannot be forgot- ten in twenty years of peace. The story is that Napoleon on his death-bed called out in his delirium “Tete d' armee; Stonewall Jackson, fresh from the batile-field, died with a call on his lips for A. P. Hill to prepare for action; and Lee though pursu- ing the peaceful calling of a teacher, at the time of his mortal illness, passed away in the false excite- ment of war, issuing an order tothe same subor- dinate who had been killed Apri! 2, 1855. No won- der,then, that Grant fights all his battles over. How We Build Sbips. From the New York World. The United States war steamer Florida, which has been rotting for several years at the grass- grown Lethean docks of the New London yards, is being broken up and carted away by a junk dealer, who paid less than $650,000 for the bulk. The Florida cost the Government $1,800,000. She was a swift vessel, but her machinery was so powerful thatshe gould not carry coal enough to run her across the ocean. She never made but one little trip. After this exploit she was tied up at the Brooklyn yard and the rotting process began. The first cost and expenses of this ship represent an outlay of at least $2,200,000. For this the Govern- ment has less than $50,000 to show. We do not be- lieve that this record has been beaten in naval circles since Peter the Great learned his trade as ship-builder in Amsterdain. 9 Struck by Lightning. From the Charleston (S.C ) News aud Courier. The three trees that shaded the tent of President Davis at the spot where he was captured in Irwin County, Ga., have since been struck by lightning and killed. Before they attempt to draw. a moral from this occurrence, however, Republican news- papers should remember and reflect upon the fact that the Washington monnment .was struck three times in one day last week. The Cincinnati Com- mercial Gazette, Indianapolis Journal and Hartford Courant will be able to reconcile these mysteries, perhaps. when we remind them that, though not strictly a “Confederate Brigadier.“ Washington was an out-and-out Southern Democrat and a Rebel. 2 MEN OF MARE. Uncis Joz Mon. . editor of the Chicago Tribune, was 62 years old last week. Wu John Sherman lectures he cautions the door-keeper against taking trade doliars. M Iwa says he set type in the Philadelphia Ledger office more than thirty years ago. Gx. Komarnorr has worn off all his top hair in thinking up ways of getting even with Great Brit- ain. As soon as Mr. Gladstone is done with his Rus- sian troubles he will proceed to confiscate the Irish. hens. Tus members of the Cabinet all show more signs of fatigue than the President. His physical powers are something remarkable. A CurInaman, with a colored wife and five curly- cued pagans, is one of the curiosities of California. He is now on his way to China with his family. PRESIDENT CLEVELAND told a correspondent that in accepting a Cabinet position each member of that body understood that it was for the entire four years. Mr. Blaum expects to leave Washington for Au- gusta in a few weeks. His health is good, and he devotes about four hours daily to the completion of his book. PRESIDENT CLEVELAND sent a handsome basket of flowers to Senator Morriliof Vermont on the oc- casion of his 75th birthday Tuesday. Muster Furt coat-of-arms has excited so much hostile criticism that his friends have come way. Dorin the sculptor, who is making the statue of the late Senator Ben Hill, says that a marbie monument in this olimate will not last over fifty years. Bos Hamm, the author of the Anti-Treating law, was arrested in Wells, Nev., the th ult., for vio- lating the same. He was released on his own re- cognizance. Taz seems to be Bo end to the bereavemenis of * Ff - > to the rescue. They explain that he was born that | pioneer people Gen. Logan is strikingly and un- usually accurate, but he is slightly off about the son called Abraham. The boy was not called Abraham until a good while after he was born. Mas. Dru M. Haypox relates in the Charleston News his version of the story of Shiloh, in which battle he was an Aide of Gen. Albert Sidney Johns- ton. After Johnston had fallen Maj. Haydon and other officers went to confer with Gen. Beauregard at Shiloh Church, and “during our audience,” he says, ‘‘noticed the head of a quail peeping between his thumbs, while he was holding it in his hands. He remarked to me that he had picked it up on the field and was keeping it as a trophy of the day. Poor Gordon could not help taking a quaintly humorous view of things, even in the dark days of Khartoum. When he found that Mr. Gladstone's Government was persistently disregarding his ap- peals for aid, and became convinced that he was to be a martyr to duty, he naturally blamed dir Eve- bluntly in his diary; but he added, with a keen recollection of his own last journey across the des- ert: “Oh, Evelyn! Evelyn! I would forgive you all your iniquitiés if I could see you bumping across the Korosko Desert upon a came! WOMEN OF THE WORLD. Mrs. Exiza M. Morcax, widow of ex-Governor Morgan of New York, by her will leaves $135,000 for charitable and church purposes A Miss Mary Cops has been discovered at Des Moines, Iowa, who, it is claimed, is to become the greatest of American tragediennes. Miss Terry kept up her attachment to her na- tive land while touring in America by eating a great many English walnuts,” says an exchange. Mrs. Herre Warp Beecuer has written an ex- ceedingly interesting article on “Early Marriages and Long Engagements,” for the May number of the Brooklyn Magazine. Ox the authority of an English paper it is stated that Mr. Parnell will shortly lead to the altar a young and wealthy American lady, an intimate friend of the Irish leader's mother. A robo Boston lady writes to the Boston Post: “How should a young man kiss me?” Poor thing! A young man should not kiss her at all. Boston girls were not created for that purpose. Mary Anperson's Long Branch cottage has been sold, with its surrounding eight acres, furniture and fixtures, to William Jones, a New York broker, for 517.500. The purchaser acted for another, whose name he refused to give. Miss Men C. Bactarp has aroused the wrath of purists by begginning a poom: “My bark glode o'er the river clear,” when she should have written “glid,” though it is on record that the setting sun giow'd oer the river clear—clear over. Mas Fanny Courtenay Bay or, author of A Perfect Treasure“ and “On This Side,” novels pub- lisbed in Lippincott's, is a native of Virginia and spent a great part of her early life in Texas. She has also lived a oumber of years in Europe. Mrs. Exviza CrRomPtTON appears to be an unusually fine specimen of a generous-hearted New Jersey widow. She is sati.fied that Coles was unhinged about something when he tried to take her life, and the New Jersey people insist that she is in love with the prisoner. A Toroxto lady laughed for five hours the other day. Doctors were called in, but nothing could be done to stop her. Her husband was brought in reeling drunk and she shrieked with laughter; finally a neighborhood lady came in and began to to tell ber about her new spring bonnet which she had imported from Paris. Thecure was instanta- neous. Ix 1869, at tLe Theatre de Odean, in Paris, Ade- lina Patti appeared at a concert for the benefit of a young actress who had lost all her posse-sions by a fire. At the close of the concert the actress, wear- ing a black woolen dress without the s!izhtest orna- ment, went timidly to the diva and, giving her a bouquet worth two sous, kissed her hand. The actress was Sara Bernhardt. Ar Queen Victoria's last Drawing - Room among the American debutantes presented was Miss Van Rensselear, grand-daughter of the old Patroon of Albany. She is greatly admired, as well for her accomplishments and wit as for her striking style of beauty, which is Italian, with large, soft, lus trouseyes. It is hard to imagine she is of Dutch descent. Her mother is a Southern lady, cele. brated for her beauty and attractions, and be- longs to a family of the “bluest blood” of the South. A voune Parisian husband, M. Poslain, recently returned unexpectedly to his home, and as he en- tered the room caught his wife in the act of hiding what looked to be a note or letter. He de- manded to see it, but was refused. Then he leveled bis pistol at his faithless, as he thought, wife, and it was discharged, wounding her in the hip. Horrified at his own act, he threw himself from a third-story window, breaking an arm and both legs. The paper which caused the trouble was a rather extravagant millinery bill | — cordially.

To the Fditor of the Post-Dispatch: In the name of humanity I appeal to you, who have in many instances righted the wrongs of the poor and oppressed, who have meny times attacked ‘the pet hobbies of those whom money had placed in high positions in life and brought the public, if not them, to see the error of their ways ; to you, who have often,at the risk of being condemned, ferreted out w and impositions practiced upon the helpless and defenseless, and thereby been the means of removing the inefficient and filling their with those who ha souls witbin — bodies, and were to de trusted; who acted so nobly __ this to you winter when little children were crying for bread and mothers were praying for it. You were the first to hear their cries and prayers, it was you who sent an angel of m to every housebold, scattering warmth and food, banishing the wolf from the door and the cold from the numbed and chilled limbs. Now with all this to assure me of success | make an appeal that you take up the cause of that neg bet tressed, worse than fatherless boy, who has so shamefully mistreated for the mere act of ing a few fllowers. Think of the ermg and tort ure his poor little body is undergoing; think of the sorrow of the over-worked, half-famished mother who was his all, the rumseller having ſong since claimed his father. There is a similar case comes to my memory. A youth who had never been known to steal or srepresent was tempted after days of hunger to steal a few pounds of meat and ran home with it to a hungry fanally, for which he was arrested, tried and sentenced to two years in the Penitentiary, about the same time, those engaged in the Credit Mobilier scheme went free. This noble State of Missouri did this thing, the same State that gives the saloon-keeper the privilege and power of taking the last cent from the father that should used to educate and ap- pease the hunger of just such as this boy. The judge that can pass such a sentence certainty fails to realize that time nor eternity can never undo or repair the inj or evil emanating from such a decision. I would love to this man and woman profess to be ple. I would love to know if the noble old City of St. Louis has many such citize1 who for a few cents, which would have rep! those flowers, were willing to cripple the little offender and risk the taking of his life, and now in ir cooler moments realizing as they must the irre- — injury dove him, instead of begging his orgivene s and taking the little boy and nursing bim back to bealth and feeding the mother and paying her rent until her child is able to get up at tue unchildiike hour of 3 in the morning to put out lamps, they propose to prosecute him instead.

In connection with the horrible murder that was committed at the Southern Hotel I notice that application has been made to the English authorities for assistance in bringing the cold-biooded assasyin back to St. Louis. I do not doubt for one moment but that England wiil give all the assistance sne can in the matter. but, at same time, wouid it not be beiter to turn Maxwell, when eo he certainly will be. right 8 to the English author - ities, and let them d with him as he so justly deserves? The St. Louis Jail has now already too many cold-blooded murderers within its walis, some having been there for years, and who seemingly are no nearer the gallows than when they were first incarcerated. You know, sir, how hard it 1s to bring a murderer, however brutal his crime may be, to the gallows in St. Louis, but if we turn Maxwei! over to Engiand, and she finds him guilty, he will soon atone for his brutal crime.

The time is rapidly approaching when the money for the competition of the pedestal will be needed as labor on the pedestal is being carried on vig rously. A small prompt donation is better than a slow large donation. he time is short and the work must be done rapidly. To give a clear idea of the condition of the statue and the arrangements which have been made in France for its shipment,the following letter rom THE EMINENT A. Bartholdi, is of deep interest. OMMITTEE OF THE Franco-AMERICAN UNION 25 Rus pg CHAZELLE, Paris, March 30. To Mr. Richard But ler. Secretary of the Committee of the Statue of Liberty, New Vork. Dear Str—The committee of the Franco-Ameri- can Union directs me to inform you that the Statue of ey has been taken to pieces, the pieces num- bered and packed, and all will. within a few day be ready for transportation. On the 16th of Apri prox. the transportation to Rouen will commence, and there the cases will be shipped on the 4th day May next, on board the national ship Isere. The statue will probably reach you about the 2th of May. The committee suppo that all necessary measures have been adopted by you for the recep- tion; nevertheless, it is thought best to call your at- tention to the following points: First—The necessary steps for the entry through the Custom House, so that the ship may not be delayed by any formalities and may proceed di- rectly to Bedloe’s Island, where she has been or- — unless you shall advise other wise. Second The necessity for preparing cover for the cases, since exposure to the weather might cause deterioration, and especially might cause the de- struction of the ot mtn and marks placed on the pieces to facilitate the mounting of the statue. We have recently written on this subject to Gen- eral Stone in order to make sure of proper shelter, but that he may be thoroughly informed as to the space necessary we would here state that all the cases are at this time contained in a space measur- ing 30 metres in length by 15 metres in width. Should any difficulty arise requiring delay of ship- ment it will be necessary, that you should immedi- ately notify us by telegraph, but we could delay the matter forafew days only, since all our engace- ments have been made on short time. The person who has had charze of taking down the Statue and attending to the shipment will accompany the ex- pedition in order to furnish all necessary informa- tion and attendto the delivery. Moreover, an inventory of all the parts will be handed you, with ail necessary indications as to setting up the Statue. We trust that everything will reach you in good order andthat you will have time to adopt all nec- essary measures. The committee bas req me to add to the above information concerning the sending forth of the Statue the expression of the emotion they experience at the solemn moment of the final accomplishment of their task; and the members express to your committee and to you, personally, their thanks for the co-operation which you have extended to them. . We hope that you will soon attain complete suc- cess On your side, and thai the arrival of the Statue will contribute to that end. Be p to present on this occasion the expres- sion of the sentiments of warm sympathy which have animated all those who have here taken part in this work. The same sentiments will develop in America for this unique monument, which will for- ever recall to the two 3 united in this work, common to both, that it is by their efforts and by their biood that liberty has been called to illumin- ate the two continents. We have been happy to be able to initiate and ve rey ag ow this enterprise, 80 great and so far reaching in its moral effect. We are touched by the sympathy by which you have constantly aod sustained it, and we have a firm conviction that its perfect accomplish- ment will soon give you all that satisfaction which your efforts have so well merited. | Be p dear sir, to represent us before the committee and to accept, with all your honored = es, the expression of our high considera- In the name of the Committee of the Franco- American Union. A. Bartso.pr, Administrator. The Womp continues its splendid efforts in New York with eminent success. The total amount re- ceived up to Saturday night at the Won office for the Pedestal was $30,500, more than was anticipated for that date. Last week the Womo sent to Chairman Evarts of the American committee a check for $25.000,as the first instaliment of its col- lection for the fund. The following co ndence on the subject will be of interest to the ends of the movement here. “Tae Wontp; Eprror’s Room, New York, April 16, 1886. } “Hon. W. H.

The Initial Meeting of the Special Session of the Assembly. cipal Assembly, which occurred on Saturday afte nogn, was quite uneventful. In the Council nin members answered to roll call, and President Allen was in his seat. The Mayor's message was read, which was brief and not at all sensational. It was so framed as to open up for legislation every sub- ject in the range of municipal affairs, and the only reference it contained was one in relation to redistricting the city. He stated that, inasmuch as the recent action of the State Legislature deprives the city of the ht of establishing new wW lines unless e same be dove witbin a year, he trusted that this important work would not be rejected by the present session, as the local and not the State guthorities were best fitted to determine where these lines should run. committees: Ways and Means—Wm.

Among the recent discoveries in science and chemistry, none is more important than the uses to which common ammonia can be properly put as a leavening agent, and which indicate that this famil- iar salt is he ter to perform an active part in the preparation of our daily food. The carbonate of anmonia is an exceedingly volatile substance. Place a small portion of it upon a knife and hold over a flame, and it will almost immediately be entirely developed into gas and pass off into the air. gas thus formed is a simple composition of nitrogen and age No residue is left from the ammonia. 1 gives it its superi- ority asa leavening wer over soda and cream of tartur used alone, aud has induced its use as a sup- plement to these art A small quantity of ammonia in the dough is effective in producing bread tbat will be lighter, sweeter, and more whole- some than that risen by any other leavening agent. When itis acted upon by the heat of the leavening gas that raises the dough is liberated. In this act it uses itself up, as it were; th aramonia is entirely diffused leaving ng trace or residuum what- ever. The. light, fluffy, y appearance, so desir- able in viscuits, e'c., and so sought after by profes- sional cooks, is said to be imparted to them only by the use of this agent. The bakersand baking powder manufacturers producing the finest goods have been quick to avail themselves of this useful discovery, and the hand- somest and best bread and cake are now largely risen by the aid of ammonia, combined of course with other — material. Ammonia is one of the best known products of the labaratory.

THE POUND OF FLESH. Arrangemé@agts for the Payment of the the Mayor and Comptroller to issue and sell bends of the city of St. Louis to pay the debt of the city to the St. Louis Gas Light Company. “You, see.“ continued Mr. Newman, “as this debt was contracted before the passage of the Scheme and Charter, bonds may be issued to secure the payment. Our other claims will have tocome out of the general revenue." “What is the status of your claim against the city, Mr. Newman?” asked the reporter. “Weill,” was the reply. “the claim upon which the company has recove udgment in the Supreme Court was originally 000. It was for gas fur- nished to the my rior to 1865. The twenty years’ interest on that rings it up to its present propor- tions.” W nat is the amount now?!” “We got judgment in the Court of on May 18, 1880, for $746,178 70. I have here the interest on that computed to February 1, 18%, which amounts to $211,168 57. The total was $957,347 27 on February 1. Of course it is more than that now. That is the amount of our — — We did not take out an exe- cution for it Mr. Adreon, the Comptroller, specielly me not to do so. The ponds which the city will issue will, I suppose, be just enough to cover that amount.“ “and the rest of your claim?" “Our whole claim against the city amounted to $1,187,779 52 upon 1 but the only amount upon which the Supreme Court has passed was the first one, for which these bonds are to be issued.

Mr. Heard Had no Trouble With O'Neill Over Colman's Appointment. as Commissioner of Agriculture, said: | : had a very Secretary Lamar, and I think that his uence was than the indorsement and Mr. Colman arri he came almost direct to my office, I im went over to the White House to in- form the President of his arrival, and to obtain an audience for him. While at the White Housel met Mr. O'Neill, but so far were we from coming to that not a warm word between us. Exactly who deserves the t of Mr. Colman’s tment is I that tion to turn the rascals out, Mr. Heard?" “No, I think he wil move —4 cautiously, as be- comes a man of his ability shrewdness. You see, the President recognizes the fact that the Sen- ate is Republican oy seven majority and iu cases of removais without cause, confirmation of successors would be very doubtful Under the terms of office act, the President can suspend whomever he pleases, with or without cause, aud appoint a tem- porary successor, who, if not — 2 holds the office only until the end of the next — session of Congress, when he must be displaced an another appointment made. Cieveland will give the Democrats every show in the world, I think, but he must move sicwly.” “What sort of an impression did Miss Phoebe Couszins make at the capital!“ “Well, (smitingly) as a man, you know, I'd much rather not say anything. As to whether or not her father will be retained as Marshal, 1 haven't the remotest idea. I know that State Senator Ab. Ed- wards is an applicant for the position and that both Vest and Cockrell think very highly of him, and 1 think would do a great deal for Him, as would myself.

Mr. W. A. Galbraith, against whom a warrant charging him with obtaining money from laborers under false pretences was issued, appeared in the Court of Criminal Correction to-day and secured a withdrawal of the warrant. He state that he had a letter from contractors at Dudley, Iowa, asking for seventy men. He shipped sixty-five to Keokuk with a full understanding t the men were to have {ree transportation from that point to Dudley. The disappointment was onthe partof the contractor and not of the agency. Mr. Galbraith states that he was willing to ret the money to compiainants from the first, but they demanded more than they had advanced. On repaying the money received and the costs the case was withdrawn, as the easiest way of terminat- ing the matter, though the defendant expresses himself as able to establish his mnovence of any fraud on a trial.

Chief White Ghost Writes of the Rob- bers of Crow Creek. From a Letter to Gen. Armstrong, Published in the Southern Workman. My Dear FRienp—This day I write to you with a sati heart; pretty near all my lands have been taken by white people now; they say that the Great Father has given the land to them, but I doubt them very much. I know if the President has sense he would not do it. No matter how much he disregards my rights, he would not do it without first con- sulting us. For this reason 1 doubt what the white people say. They have also taken lands which were allotted to my people; they have also taken house logs which we had cut; they have also taken some frame houses and burned some, but these frame houses were not built by Government aid, the Indians bought the lum- ber and built the houses themselves. The Big Bend, the ture for our Texas cattle, the white people have also taken and the Texas cattle are scattered all over the coun- try; this is the only place for herding and if it is thrown open, there will be no place for herd- ing and the cattle will all be lost or else starve to death, and our domestic cows, a great many of them have disa ; we fear it is the whites who have taken them, and so my friend I am in distress with my tribe; but I do not wish my people to know that I am distressed, for if they know it they will be weakened; nevertheless do not fear for us, for my tribe has listened very patiently to our agent and me, le who come on to m are not in the North, around St. Petersburg, but in the Middle and South. She hasa State called Tamboy, between the Don and the Volga, withtwoand a quarter millions of people, and the next State below that on the Don has over two millions, and about two millions also live in Koursk, which is within a few hours of the Crimea. These States somewhat correspond to our Mississippi aly Alabama. Little Russia, which lies in the vi- cinity of tne Odessa, on the Black Sea: or a lit- tle to the north of it, is composed of four States, which are as — ggg as New York and Pennsylvania put together. Then there are fifteen million Russians living in the Volga Provinces, and six millions more live about the Crimea, and in Western Russia ten millions, and about St. Peters on the Baltic, are three millions and a half, ere are six million Poles in Russia, nearly two million Finns, and over a million and a half ple in the Caucasus, down by the Caspian. eyond the Caucasus Mountains, in the new conquests of Russia called Trans-Caucasus, there live three and a half millions more, In- deed, the Russians claim that in their three Caucasian districts, namely, the base of the mountains, the mountains and over the mount- ains, they have 11,000,000 people. Then in Asia they count up 4,000,000 in Siberia and 4,000,000 toward Tartary. The Russian cities are not as! as oursor those of Western Europe. St. Petersburg has not over 700,000 ° —.— and is therefore hardly bigger than hicago. Moscow is about the population of Brooklyn, or 600,000; and Warsaw, the third city, is no bigger than Cleveland, or 250,000, Orlessa is about as large as Newark, N. J., or 162,000, Louisville Maiden and Memphis Man. From the Memphis Sunday Times.
