ere GOULD WELL PLEASED. — -ese- The Railroa! M x:ate Prozres: of the West. Describes the — New York, Feb. 1.—Jay Gould arrived in New York on Sunday after an absence of three weeks in thorough 1n-pection of his south western ratlioads. He said to-day: 6} have been through tourteen states since I left home. Mr. Clark, who took Hoxie’s place, had not been over some of the lines in Texas, and part of the trip was largely for his beneht. Everywhere in the west we found confidence and prosperity the rule among the business men. There is something very nearly ap- proaching a business at the west, and the talk among all classes is confident and courageous. The movement of merchandise on the Missouri pacific is extremely large. I have a dispatch from Clark, in which is given the movement of freight trains on Saturday and Sun- day. Saturday it comprised 459 freight trains of 7,335 cars, an in- crease ot 220 trains and 3,540 loads compared with the same tine last year, and Sunday there were moved 416 freight trains containing 6,422 loads, an increase of 162 trains and 2,410 loads over the same day last year. Our business 1s increasing in about, that proportion right along, and this fact proves better perhaps than anything 1 can say the hopeful feeling throughout the west. “Asto the interstate commerce bill, the people hope to derive great advantage irom it. It is a rather curious tact that the people who will be likely to suffer most trom the practical operations ot the measure are much more heartilv in favor ot it than the people of the east. Iknow little about the probable action of the president, but I should think the chances are about even that the “president might sign or veto it. Ih would make him very popular with some classes if he should send out « finging message in objection to the bill. There will be some advantage derived trom the law it the railroads wall live strictly up to xs letter. I will be shown how utterly inadequate such legislation is. If the companies will closely tollow the flaw it will be repealed within six months. It they do not, but tr to evade it each for himself, well, i will be somebody to catch the hind- most. ‘ railroad “The ladies especially go into ecstacice- @yer Parker’s Hair Balsam,”’ writes Mr J.

Marmaduke, warden ot the penitentiary, was placed under arrest this morning by sheriff Thos. B. Mahon, of this county, upon » wnit from Judge Normile ot the St Louis criminal conrt,. for contempt, for not producing in that count Monday the two convicts, Fred Witt- tock and Wm. W. Haight, as wit- messes, to testity in the Frisco ex press robbery case. The warden was only placed in custody ot th sheriff constructively, as the entir: proceedings are of a trnendly nature, the object being to determine wheth 1, uhder the present law, the warden has the power to produce convicts in courts where they are summoned as witnesses in felony cases. No ill- feeling whatever exists between any of the parties. As soon as the warden had been :Placed under arrest Attorney-Gener al Boone commenced ‘preparing a petition for habeas corpus, which ‘was Qubmitted to Judge E. H. Nor- tonof the supreme court.at a late hour*to-mght. The writs are re- tunable Thursday and Judge Nor- ton will take action before that time. The object of both, parties is to get the matter settlea by the supreme C@art. The warden teels very thank- fa We the St. Louis parties tor the te manner in which they thave treated him and he has no de- sire whatever to obsrtuct the process et any court. At a late hour to-night Judge Norton granted the wnt of habeas corpus asked for by Attorney-Gen- ecal Boone and made the same re- turnable at 10 0’clock to-morrow. A CLE.N STEAL. Quebec Robbe! Rizht and Left. The Canadian Province’s Officials King Boodlers. a Even the Furnishings of the Speak- er’s Room Taken. Ottawa, Ont., Feb, 2.—The ex- citement is intense 1n Quebec over the revelations which Premier Mer cier of that province has made in regard to the corruption which was carried on by the late Quebec gov erament. The full extent of the plundering will not be known until an investigation is held. The apart- ments of the late speaker, which were elaborately furnished out of the treasury, Have been completely stripped and valuable plate and fur nishings are missing, and are known to have been carried off by boodlers. On taking hold of the treasury chest Mercer found it empty. Worse than that, Sir John MacDon- ald had advanced the defunct gov- ernment over $500,000 out of the dominion treasury, which is charged against the province, all of which went into the general corruption fund. In addition to this the province has been run heavily into debt; large amounts ot outstanding claims re- main to be paid, and there 1s noth- ing with which to pay them. Premier Mercier has issued a cir- cular to the officials in all branches ot the public service to balance their books and report at once. No other medicine is so reliable as Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, forthe cure of coughs, colds and all derangements of the res piratory organs- It reheves the asmatic and consumptive, even in ad- vanced stages ot disease Fort Scott's New Road.

Cooler heads, of course,deprecated this course, and insisted thit Mr. Glover and Senator Vest being social and political equals the former should be content to let the matter rest. However, Mr Glover seems to be terribly in earnest and. deter mined to push the matter o the bitterest extremity. To those persons who ari con- versant with the situation it would be a n.atter of no surprise if before the close ot the present sesdon of congress Mr. Glover shouk avail himselt of some legislative eppor- tunity to repeat upon the floor ot the house the statenients contamed in etter to Senator Vest.

All over Europe the universities foster sword or foil play of one kind or another, and in that nation apart which we call the city of London, aclub fér fencing has existed these twenty years. The Lon- don Fencing Club, under the patronage of tae Prince of Wales, and having on its list many peers of the realm, is as aristocratic in its aim as the Fencers Club of New York, of which we will have something to say presently, is democratic. 1t was founded in 1863 as a club for fencing and gymnastics with a membership of three hundred, and helped to its present quarters by a paternal government. It has two French and three English teachers, and from its nearness to St. James's is of practi- cal use to the oflicers of the Queen's household troops. * °* * On this side of the Atlantic a few large cities have always bail professera of the art, but, like unhappy Hulett of New York in 1770, seldom bas one been able to make a living from lessons in fencing alone. At New Orleans the chances have been better, owing to the large Creole and French population; there oftener than elsewhere have duels in shis century been decided by the sword. * * * One must not forget, more- over, that the German Turn Verein of New York makes something of fencing, and that at West Point and Anunapol; it is a branch of study employing a number of instructors, a study which, unfortunately, officers of the army and the navy promptly forget. -—— = The Sun All Right.
