A sworn statement was yesterday filed in the Police department by a Mr. Bayley, who is an attache of the Army Medical Museum, Surgeon General's department, to the effect that | about midnight last Monday night, while in his room in the house No. 461 Missouri avenue, he overheard two men talking of a plot to assassin- ate President Arthur; that he (Bayley) waslying in his bed, which was against the front window, and the window blinds were closed; that two Inen stopped on the sidewalk near a tree box, and one asked the other. “Will you swear to it?” The latter replied, “Yes, I will. He swore that he would kill the President in one month.” The one who said this remarked that the man whom he referred to, but who was not named, was a “Garfield republican.” Mr. Bayley threw open the blinds and the two men walked hur- riedly away. Bayley saw them and could, he thinks, identify them. There may not have been any special meaning in the conversation, but the chief clerk of Bayley’s division advised him to report’ the matter to the chief of police. The police authorities have not made any arrests yet, but they have observed some vigilance as to the President, thinking it wise to take that precau- tion. Mr. Bayley is a young man, and nephew of Hon. 8. P. Bayley, of Alexandria, who was the republican candidate for Congress in that district last year. ess The Star Route Cases. A VIGOROUS PROSECUTION OF THEM TO BE MADE. District Attorney George Bliss, of New will have the management of the star route cases which will come before the grand Jury now within a few days. It is stated, by those connected with the prosecution, that the dence in some of the cases is all arranged and fi n. It is urged in some of Postmaster General | limitation on the 19th of next month, under the law providing that the term of the Postmaster General shall be for and ing the term of the President by whom he ppointed and one month over. ‘Those who take this view maintain that President Garfield's term of office ended with his death. Ex-Dis- trict Attorney Bliss takes this view of the question as do other lawyers. But should it be ned that this is the’ proper of the _ law, it is stated in hi that the Pre anesto hold office all have been dis- posed of.

The cireumstance that a message of con- dol the Emperor of Japan to this government was received on the yery day the sad tidings were transmitted, has writer two or thre incidents which prove that Japan had no better friend in the United States than the lamented martyr. When Mr. Arinori Mori, in 1872, called upon jen. Gartield for some information’ on the sub- of education for the use of the Jap: received @ prompt and valuable reply; nare especially interesting at this time. One of them was that the “civilization which found {ls origin in ia, nearly two thousand years aro. in its westward march, ‘completed the circuit of the earth, and almost ‘reached its point of departure.” in speaking of western Europe and America he said that they had evolved out of many conflicts principles whieh they. now s the foundation of all prosperity and glory,” and that there were uni- versal education, aiid the maintenance of per- cial and public morality. Alluding to of education upo: terial pros- perity of a country, he said that the railroad was the result of long centuries of study, and that the magnetic telegraph was a inore wonde ful result of education, and when he penned that thought how little did he imagine that the thi ircle the globe in a rs, and that the grandest funeral train recorded in history would be his own, reaching from the waves of the Atlantic to of Lake Erie! iew of the fact that many people are won- dering why it should have been necessary that a man Who Was universally esteemed for his pure character and statesmanship should have been assassinated, the following allusion to the “life of man” is interesting: “If the general educa- tion of the people advances the external ma- terial interests of man, much more will it advance man himself ‘in his physical, so- cial and moral nature. In other ages it was believed that the life of man was influenced mainly by forces beyond his con- rol; by a multitude of gods and other unseen agencies. But the progress of science has de- veloped the fact that the universe is governed by zeneral and comprehensive laws—laws which pervade not only the material and inorganic world. but also the world of organic life and of human activity.” Whatever may be said of the party platform upon which President Garfield e on the death of President Garfield, from | alled to the mind of the | stood, all men must honor his opinion as to the duties of a national ruler when he says: ‘Rulers must choose two conditions. Without educa- tion the citizens of a nation will be ignorant, indolent, vicious ‘and turbulent. With educa. tion they will become more enlightened, indus- trious, virtuous and peaceable.” The paper from which the foregoing quotations are made was very complete and exhaustive, and yet Gen. Gartield offered an apology for what he consid- ered its unsatisfactory character. In November of last year the writer of this notice received a letter from Scotland, written by Mr. Amano Koziro, who had for several years been an attaché of the Japanese legation in Washington, and was then on his way to Tokio, where he is now connected with the foreign of- fice. In that letter he stated that he was in Dublin on the 3d of the month, and first saw in an evening paper the announcement of General Garfield's election to the presidency, and then went on, in the most enthusiastic manner, to speak of the man he had long delighted to honor, and congratulated the republican party and the nation on the happy result, while mentioning the democratic competitor in the most kindly terms. In due time Mr. Amano’s remarks were reported to Gen. Garfield, and ina letter which he sent from Mentor on the 4th of December he con- cludes as follows :—“ Accept my thanks for the interesting quotation you make from the letter of your Japanese friend.’ in further evidence of the friendship which Gen. Garfield entertained for the people and government of Japan, it may be stated that on every occasion, when the question has been be- fore Congress for adjudication, for returning the noted “ indemnity fund” to Japan, he invariably took the ground that there was no valid reason for further retaining the money inthe custody of the United States, for the reason that it right- fully belonged to Japan. ae Tuose WHo Ovcut ro Kxow say that the President will not appoint a justice of the United States Supreme Court, to succeed Judge Clifford, until after Congress meets in session.

Tele A BRIEF VISIT TO THE CAPITAL—HB® CALLS ON THE PRESIDENT. The name of Kalakaua Rex, his olive-tinted majesty of the Sandwich Islands, adorns the register at the Arlington. The royal party ar- rived last evening, and were quartered ina hand- some suite of rooms in the old Johnson man- sion, which forms a wing of the hotel. The king's suite comprises his Higt Chamberlain, Col. C. H. Judd; his Attorney General, Wm. N. Armstrong, and Hon. Elisha Allen, the Hawaiian minister to the United States, and Col. G. W. MacFarlane, alde-de-eamp te the King. The jolly, good-natured face of Kiag Kalakaua is familiar to the people of this éfty, who remem- ber him when he made a mare extended visit here in 1874. The hand of time spares neither The king nor plebian, and the effatts of riper years may seen in the kings more rotund figure, though his face js still fresh, and he looks as though he might reign for a quarter of a century yet before he retires per- manently from the business. He is five feet eleven inches in height, weighs 230 pounds, and is in his 46th year. Has complexion is tinted brown, his hair black and curly and he wears a moustache, goatee and side whiskers. He ses in plain black, and wears plug hat, a. i shirt, besides displaying other emblems of continental civilization. The king, when he was here before, occupied a suite of apartments in the other wing of the hotel, and desired to have the same rooms during his present visit, but as they were occupied, the Johnson mansion was tendered for his occupancy. He is entirely sep- arated from the other guests, having his own private dining-room. ‘To-day was spent quietly y the royal party, the only event of interest being the call on the President at A DIPLOMATIC CONFERENCE. This morning the Chinese minister anda mem- ber of his legation called in full Celestial regalia Wr of the maintal him and Minister Allen in relation. it is under- stood, to the subject of Chinese immigration. There was some rumor about the hotel that the Emperor of China entertained a notion of buy- ing up the Sandwich Islands and annexing King Kalakaua’s establishment to the flowery king- dom, but no foundation could be found for such astory. In fact, when a Star reporter ques- tioned Grand Chamberlain Judd in reference to the matter that official with a dignified em- phasis declared that the kingdom was not for sale. wards, porary Tt E KING AND THE REPORTERS.

Methodist!” exploded the naval officer, like a torpedo; “Methodist!” echoed Colonel Judd; ‘Methodist!” shouted the naval officer again. “You should haye seen him down there at the hoos at Honolulu. Methodist!” and he went off into a series of chackles which were in- terpreted by the reporter as meaning that not much reliance could be placed in the utterances of the Paris press _ In further conversation Col. Judd said that Kalakaua was the only crowned head who had made the tour of the world. The entire trip had so far occupied nine months. and would not be completed until they reached San Francisco, the point whence they started. There was no trath in the report that his majesty wanted to sell his kingdom. He spoke of the delightful climate of the islands, the ther- mometer averaging about 69° all the year round and there being many inducements for immi- grants of a good character, in which the king- dom stood in much need. ‘The king, though married, has no children, the next in the royal line being a younger sister, who, during the king's “swing” around the world,” holds the reins of government as regent. he object of the visit to Kentucky is to see the blooded horses, in which the king is much interested. THE DEPARTURE FOR THE PRESIDENT'S. A little before noon two carriages were driven up to the hotel to take the royal party to the President's house. They were livery stable car- riages, drawn by prancing chargers, driven by sable charioteers, who had had an extra polish ut on their shiny hats, and the missing yattons _ hastil; Teplaced on their gor- geous livery for the occasion. When his Polynesian ‘majesty came forth through the corridor of the hotel a curious crowd was assembled to see him off. His majesty, who wore a high white hat, and a Prince Albert coat, and Minister Allen, took seats in the first car- e, and the jehu having given a plebian crack to his whip and a broad republican grin to the small crowd on the curb, royalty was driven rapidly off. Attorney General mg and two young gentleman from the State de) ment occupied the second Col. Judd left before the royal party, having some banki business to transact forthe king. Col. Judd looks very much like Kalakaua, except that he wears a moustache smuply He was born in the islands, ot New York parentage, but is burned as brown as a nut.

A PANIC ON BOARD AND TEN LIVES Lost. | San Fraxcisco, Sept. 28.—The name of the ship reported lost last night was not the Halens- burg, but the Alice Buck, from New York. A dispateh from Spanish Town, 25 miles from here, says she struck on Hovian’s rocks, two miles be- low, at ten minutes past 12 o'clock yesterday | morning, and isa total wreck. Ten out of 24 m:n on board were drowned. The shiphad been leaking for two days, and the captain. signalled for a tug, evidently intending to put into | San Francisco for repairs. On Monday he spoke the steamer Oceanic and got his | course to San Francisco, but by some miscalcu- | lation steered northeast. and shortly after mid- night struck with an awfulcrash on the rocks not over fifteen hundred teet from a high bluff. The two mates and part of the crew were in- stantly panic stricken and jumped from the ship into the sea and were not seen again. The vaptain and the rest of the crew with life pre- servers on left the ship, which was fast breaking | up. Some reached the shore assisted by the | people on the bluffs, and the rest were picked up by the steamer Salinas. Capt. Hermingsen was picked up after being in the water nine | hours, supported by two life preservers. The following were lost: Wm. Barry, first mate: D. | Crocker: second mate; Geo. Parker, boy; David | Black, Chas. Reader, Pat. ich and John Gun- nison, seamen, and two Chinamen, cook and | steward. — —= | by the law and bringing the question t tention of the court.

The President cordially shook the king’s hand and him in conversation for a short time. Those in the room, in addition tothe party who came with the king, were Senator I of Kansas, and Attorney General MacV. .
