BEACONSFIELD’S RETIREMENT, Special Cable, ‘Loxpos, April 34.—It is now thought that Barl Beaconsfield will not retire at Hugh- enden, but will direct the tactics of the opposition. Meanwhile he tem- porarily withdraws gracefully from the ecene, scattering titles, Peerages, Baronetcies, and Knighthoods among his faithful follow- ers. One of the closing acts of his adminis- tration is the bestowal of a Peerage upon his favorit henchman, Mr. Montague Cory, his private secretary. Speaking of the- honor conferred upon this gentleman, the Standard says Mr. Cory’s elevation to the Peerage as Baron Rowton will stand the test ordinarily applied in the case of the creation of new Peerages. His family is already noble. He himself is rich, genial, courteous, andhe has been trained in polities under ne of the greatest masters in statecraft.” : LORD HIGH CHANCELLOR. To the Western Associated Press, : ' Loxpos, April 24—Gladstone, Earl Gran- ville, Lord Hartington, and William P. Adam Rave been in consultation at Gladstone’s house. Lord Selbourne will be Lord High ‘Chancellor. 1 BOYD AND ELLIOTT. Boyd is training for the international re- watta at Providence.

The Times says: At Giadstone’s age he would hardly have chosen to combine two such arduous offices as those of Prime Min- Aster and Chancellor of the Exchequer with- out the hope of being able to render the eountry services in each capacity. . The Spectator strongly *<_-cates the at- pts of many Tory nals and some Ff 1 to bring the Queen’s name into the iscussion on the Premiership. It expects from Gladstone’s_ Government a policy of sober, practical reform, such as will present - the greatest contrast by its plainness, indus- uy, and justice to a policy of administration which the country has just consigned to the “imbo of political failures. .

FRANCE. me SEVERE PUNISHMENT, Pants, April 24.—The punishment of Go- dele, Bonapartist, by President Gambetta, of the Chamber of Deputies, consists of his exelusion from the Chamber for fifteen sit- tings; to receive only half pay for two - months, and the placarding at his (Godelle’s) expense the of extractfrom the official report of the proceedings in the Chamber through- out the Eighth Arrondissement of Paris, for Which he sits. Tols is the first time the penalty has been imposed, the severest punishment for such anoffense up to last July being exclusion from the Chambers for three sittings and a month’s half pay. The affair is everywhere talked of, and the people are puzzled as to what induced Gambetta to resort to such severity. Godelle’s words were: “I persist in calling for an inquiry because Algeria demands it, and because injurious suspicions yest on the head of the brother of the Presi- dent of the Republic.” “ \dent Gambetta declared that the words were ating to the President of the Repub- Uc, but Godelle disclaimed any intention of 50 offending. : HYMENEAL. 4 GREAT WEDDING AT WINDSOR CASTLE.

Loypos, April 24.—Not,during this gen- eration has there been sech such a week of political cabal as that which closes with to- day’s proceedings. Windsor Castle seemed to the outside world the si of Successive scenes in a solemn? com- edy, but the Liberal leaders knew it was not all comedy, but a persistent in- trigneto defeat the clearly-expressed national wish, and to cajole the Queen into assuming an attitude of personal hostility to Mr. Glad- stone. The sole doubt of the ultimate result arose from the known determination of Glad- stone to decline an offer of the Premiership if accompanied by a1 expression or-intima- tion of Es THE QUEEN’S PERSONAL REPUGNANCE to accept him as the Chief Minister of the Crown. To this tended all the Tory efforts. Reports of-interviews between the Queen and Lord Beaconsfield represent the former as parting in tears with her beloved adviser, and the latter in instilling the Quéen’s mind with distrust of the Liberals’ foreign policy should Mr. Gladstone direct it. The same object was pursued in the public dispatches from Berlin and Vienna reiterating suspi- cions of Mr. Gladstone’s hostility to existing schemes and family compacts, to which Lord Beaconsfield had eagerly assented. For the same purpose private let- ters from European Courts and Foreign Office agents were made the instruments of Tory machinations. Palace officials and Personal associates of the Queen were likewise employed, many of them being steeped to the lips with intrigues of the out- going Administration. Itwas to give time for ripening these plots that occurred the elaborate and otherwise needless delay. The vexatious formalities in completing the resig- nations of the Cabinet had the same reason. LORD HARTINGTON WAS FIRST SUMMONED, beyond doubt, on Lord Beaconsfield’s advice. This was done, though the Queen was neither bound to ask nor follow the advice of the re- tiring Premier. The Queen’s individual in- clinations, however, had full sway when a choice between the Liberal leaders was seemingly possible. Lord Beaconsfield’s calculation was to offer a concession to the popular majority by recognizing Lord Hart- ington as the leader, because, though not the chief leader of the party, he was the lead- ing Liberal and the leading representative of his party in the House, and because he hoped there was a chance that Lord Hartington might undertake to forma Ministry, and do 80 with better hopes of success than Earl Granville. Speaking technically, the Queen might summon either Earl Granville or Lord Hartington. These constitutional formali- ties were actually availed of in a manner coming dangerously near to obstruction oi the National will. ‘Two things averted this danger: _ First, the perfect understanding between Lord Hart- ington, Earl Granville, and Mr. Gladstone. Second, the Queen’s loyalty to her con- stitutional duty, when she learned from rd Hal mn, and afterward from Lords Hartington and Granville together, the im- Possibility of their forming a Cabinet. THE QUEEN’S PERSONAL APPEALS to Lord Hartington never shook him. From the first moment he steadfastly insisted that Mr. Gladstone inust be sent for. ‘The Queen’s importunity continuing, Lord Hartington proposed that Earl Granville’s advice be taken. Hence the joint audience yes- terday, followed by the summons’ to Mr. Gladstone. It is due to the Queen to say, when convinced that Mr. Glad- stone was inevitable, she suppressed her per- sonal antipathies and recognized. promptly her constitutional obligations. Nevertheless, these delays, obstacles, and hesitation pro- duced a most anxious feelingin Liberal circles. The interviews between Lords Hartington and Granville and the Queen were prolonged. till alarm was excited. This was increased by the triumphant boast of the Tory in- triguers that whatever happened r. Glad- stone would never again be Preniier. The ‘ announcement to-day that THE CRISIS EXDED with Mr. Gladstone-as Premier occasions equal relief and enthusiasm. Those who are well informed know that considerable have given a threatenin: shock to the Queen’s opuiarity. not menacing to the throne. It is not believed that real danger has existed, be- cause the Queen was sure, sooner or later, to recognize her duty, but it is believed her Tory adyisers did their best to create danger. Itissaid_ that two leading Liberals abetted the confederacy against Mr. Gladstone. Both will nevertheless be members uf the new Administration. These two excepted, the Liberal chiefs, Lords Granville and Hart- ington included, heartily welcome Mr. Glad- stone's return to the leadership, which he ought never to have quitted, but which he onky resumes because ot the urgency of his colleagues and the overwhelming demand of the party. GLADSTONE’S VIGOR UNABATED. ‘The fears expressed lest his health would be unequal to the burden of the Premiership, re- sponds to by adding the Chancellorship of 2 Exchequer, making, with the leadership of the House of Commons, three offices the most laborious in the whole Administration, and all for a single salary. A trivial inci- dent intensified the popular feeling. Lord Hartington, not finding a Royal garriage waiting at Windsor, walked from the rail- way station to the Castle and returned on foot fom the _ Castle toe station throu, a pouring rain. newspapers, especially the Standard, com- mented on this intentional discourtesy, con- trasting the careful attention paid to Lord Beaconsfield whenever he was visiting the Queen. Three inconsistent explanations are published. The Castle officials, who’ were publicly accused, reply that Lord Hartington arrived before he was e3 ted, but fail to explain why he walked back. ‘THE QUEEN 18 DOUBTLESS IGNORANT of the foolish slight thus offered, but it indi- cates clearly the hostile feeling toward the Liberals prevailing at the Roya! household. When Mr. Gladstone went to Windsor yesterday, the officials, having learned a lesson, had a carriage ready. Mr. Gladstone __received a __ hearty ublic welcome at Windsor, although it is a ‘oyal borough and commonly takes ‘its tone from the Castle.

Slosson, jaiting to bring Vignaux to terms, pub- lished a challenge in the Paris journals on Saturday for a renewal of the con- test just finished. Vignaux answered in the Sunday papers that the amateurs of Paris had seen enough of rail-billiards, and held himself at the disposition of Slosson for any amount of stakes in a contest of 3,000 points, to be played on five nights, at the new champion game as proposed and agreed to _by Slosson while at dinner with Vignaux’s representative on Tuesday evening. During the playing of the recout match on _ Wednesday the play- ers and their backers met, when Vignaux proposed to __ pla two games for $500 each game, the champion game of 3,000 points, the rail game of 4,000 points, five nights, each on a Collender table. Slosson declined this proposition, although his backers offered later in the day to make the matches named. Slosson sold the table used in tho late match, and left Paris by train suddenly on the same night, sailing from Liverpool on ursday for America in the City of Berlin.

San Franorsco, April 24—Since last Tuesday railroad and telegraph connection has been completely cut off between Alta on the west and Truckee on the east side of the mountains. A terrible storm has pre- yailed in the interior, not only in the mount- ains, but throughout the State. In the val- Jeys the rainfall has been heavy and almost constant, Rivers and streams are full to overflowing, and levees in many placos carried away, railroad tracks washed out, low lands laid under water, country roads ren- dered impassable, and bridges swept away. Great fears were felt at one time for the safety of Sacramento, Marysville, and other valley towns. Fortunately the rain changed into snow on the Sierra, otherwise the whole valleys of Sacramento and San Joaquin would have been devastated by the flood. As it is, no disaster of a general nature has occurred, and, while the damage to crops, fences, etc., will undoubtedly ag- regate a cousit erable amount, it has been local and partial in nature, In the mount- ains some idea of the severity of the storm may be obtained when it is known that over oni of by ne: tio sixteen feet of snow has __ fallen, while in some places on the line of the railroad it has drifted forty feet deep, Avalanches have swept down the sides of the mountuins, crushing snow sheds, burying the track, and_carryiny away telegraph lines. Near Alta a Iand- slide buried and tore away the track and tuad-bed. _Snow-plows, each driven by ten engines, haye been dashing through the gathering drifts without cessation, and hun- dreds of men have toiled with shovels where the plows could not be driven. The storm has now ceased, and the track is virtually clear with the exception of the land- slide, which is being removed by mining. It is probable that the move- ment of_ trains will recommence tor night. During. the storm westward trains, including the Boston excursion, have been laid up at Reno and Truckee, and the east-bound trains at Colfax and Sacramento. None of them were caught in the blockade, and the passengers have suffered no discom- fort. The storm hasbeen the heaviest and most protracted ever encountered on the line of the Central Pacific, but everything now points to settled, fair weather.

THE FORTUNE BAY CLAIM. RETALIATION. Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Wasuncron, D. C., April 24.—The news of the refusal of the British Government to pay the Fortune Bay damages excites a great deal of indignation in Congressional circles, and comes at a very inopportune moment for the reciprocity treaty which the Committee on Foreign Affairs was about to propose. Instead of pressing for such a treaty, the House Committee on Foreign Affairs will probably instruct their Chairman Monday to move a resolution calling upon the Secretary of State for all the correspondence between this Government and Great Britain relating to the Fortune Bay affair, and, when that shall have been received, it seems probable that a movement for the abrogation of the fisheries — treaty and for the repeal of the statute which ex- empts from duty Canadian fish and fish oil will be passed almost by unanimous consent. ‘The New England Representatives discovered long ago that the provisions of the fishery treaty were exclusively for the benefit of the Canadian Government, and will unanimous- ly favor the abrogation of the treaty which permits the entry, duty free, of Canadian fish and fish oils, and remits a duty of about half a million dollars annually. . The news from Great Britain of course ef- fectually destroys the prospects of a re- ciprocity treaty, and makes it probable that Congress will endeavor in some way TO RETALIATE for the action of Great Britain. ‘The first and most practical measure of retaliation is the abrogation of the unfair and one-sided fishery treaty. Seven years of the treaty are already | expired, and for the remaining five Great Britain guarantees no redress either to the American fishermen robbed of this right by hard necessity which governs the life of the fishermen of Newfoundland or support to those from whom the enforcement of the treaty will take the bread necessary for the support of their children and wives. The United States unqualifiedly demand that their fishermen have the right to take these fish with seines or otherwise, but every at- tempt is met with violence, and nothing but force will attain this object. THE TARIFF. NO AGREEMENT. Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, ‘Wasutveton, D. C., April 2£—The Sub- Committee on Tariff has had an. all-day’ meeting, and arrived at no conclusion. The | appointment of Mr. Frye as one of its mem- bers*has been the addition of another dis- turbing element. Ie wants nothing re- duced. He and Garfield think only of the manufacturers, as they were plainly told to- day, and not at all of the forty million con- sumers. The discussion this afternoon wan- dered over almost the entire tariff. Salt was talked about, but no agreement reached, the difficulty in the case of this article being that it yieldsa revenue of $750,000. There seemed to be no objection to putting type on the free list, but this led toa discussion of the duty on lead. The duty on steel rails, it. Was agreed, OUGHT TO BE REDUCED, and it {s probable the tariff will be lowered aboutone centa pound. The duty now Is $28 per ton; the proposed reduction would make it $22.40. Woolens, cottons, iron im- plements, and a variety of otherthings.enter- ing into common consumption were dis- cussed, and, although there was no agree- ment, the real revenue reformers on the Committee are in better heart to-night than they have been for some time. The difficulties in the way of these gentle- men are certainly very great, There are four members of the Ways and Means Committee who are earnestly in favor of revenue reform. They recognize, too, the impossibility of passing a bill making a wholesale revision of the tariff laws, and favor the plan to attack the protected inter- ests in detail. Here, however, they meet with opposition from the majority of the Waysand Means, who argue that it is unfair tosingle out any one industry for attack, their purpose being to defeat any tariff legis- lation. Still, notwithstanding the difficulties, the opinion of revenue reformers is thatsome measure will come out of the Committee this session. “ APPROPRIATION BILLS. - _ PROGRESS MADE, Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Wasuixctoy, D. C., April 24—Senator Davis, of West Virginia, Chairman of the |, Senate Committee on Appropriations, has made a personal inquiry to-day of the Chair- man of the several sub-committees of the House Committee on Appropriations having incharge the respective appropriation bills with aview to learning the probable time when they would reach the Senate, and when Congress would be able to adjourn. He found the condition of affairs and the outlook as follows: The Legislative bill, which is in charge of Chairman Atkins, is ex- pected to be ready to be reported within a week. Mr. Blount, who isin charge of the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill, expresses the opinion that it will be ready for the House in about two weeks.

The Indian bill will be reported to the full Committee on Monday, and it is probable that it will also REACH THE SENATE MONDAY. itary-Academy bill is in Conference Committee awaiting the result of the Whit- taker in ay at West Point. The Con- sular Diplomatic bill and the Fortifi- cations bills are also in Conference Cominittee, the latter having but one minor amendment about which there is any question at present. The Pensions bill is alaw. ‘You will notice,” said Senator Davis to a correspondent of THE NE, ‘that there are only five bills in all now awaiting the action of the House. if they report one bill a week, and they expect to do more than that, it will give us ample time to furnish the whole, and reach a final adjournment by the 1st of June.” THE EXODUS. YESTERDAY’S TESTIMONY. Wasurvoton. D. C., April 24.—Before the Exodus Committee to-day, Absalom H. Ken- nedy, of Oxford, Miss., testified to the laws Tegarding minor offenses which bearseverely upon the poor classes, but do not diserimi- nate between the races. Witness and hig family arg ostracized and hated, becausa- they have become Republicans or “ scala- wags.” Tie testified to the general preva ence of bulldozing. He was told. by aman named Carter, that Col. George, Senator- elect from Mississippi, and who was Chair man of the Democratic State Committee, had issued instructions to the County Com mittees to kill as many of the Republican - leaders as possible in order to demoralize the party. If the negra behaves himself and does not meddle with Politics, he will be well treated in and out of the courts, but if- he isa Repubfican,.it will be just the reverse. There are very many fair and generous Democrats, but they ara overruled by the more bitter class,” who Hane it a righteous deed to kill a Repub- lean, Cross-examined by Mr. Voorhees: Carter {s an attorney and member of the Democratic State Committee. Ne told me about George in a friendly conversation. Negro children have as good a chance to get education as the whites, and it is their own fault if they do not, Did not personally know of ‘any negro being defrauded of justice because of his politics. 1¢ was all hearsay with him. E. HORNE, q yi a, took part in the Repub- lican campaign in Shreveport in 1878, and found great aversion to allowing free dis- cussion. His speech in the Court-House at Shreveport was fair and impattial, but it was’ alleged by the press to be incendiary. Ha had intended to stump the country, but feared from what he heard his life would be taken if he did, and he refrained. He un- derstood there exists a thoroughly armed organization throughout the State to secure the supremacy of the Democratic - party, Witness detailed some outrages he had learned of. Respectable planters discounte- nanced these outrages, and in some cases were obliged to barricade themselves against bulldozers... They are in a minority, and cannot control the bad element. Witness alleged that Representative King was elected Ds the aid of the shotgun, and that Senator- el ect George was the author of the shotgun policy. 7 _ Crossexamined by Mr. Voorhees: Have lived in Washington four years; am a clerk in the Treasury Department; was formerly in the Department of Justice: did not go South as theagent of the Department; went at the solicitation of the Louisiana Repub- licans who were here.

Speeches explanatory of the deputation’s desire to induce the Govern- ment to reduce the tolls on the Welland Canal and the Montreal harbor dues were- made by Dr. Oille, Messrs. Neclon and Murray. They pointed out the advantages which had accrued to the State of New York by the adoption of a liberal policy in regard to canal tolls, and claimed thatthe adoption of these sugges- tions would bring about similar results in Canada. Petitions to this effect were pre- sented to Parliament sometime ago. Sir Charles Tupper, after putting a few inqui- ries tothe deputation, promised to lay the matter at an early day before his colleagues for consideration.
