President Cleveland telegraphed to Chatrman Pattison yesterday authorizing the Pacific Rall- way Commission to use their own discretion in the matter of employing counsel in the contest against the officials of the Central Pacific Railroad in the United States Circult Court at San Fran- cisco. The question before the court 1s whether the Commission had not power to compel Senator Stanford to explain what $2,000,000 was expended for, and whether it was to’ influence State or na- Uonal legislation. The Commission declined to give the text of the telegram for publication. ‘Chairman Pattison, of the Pacitic Railroad Com- mission, lett yesterday for Philadelphia. The work of the Commission is practically ended, but Com- missioners Anderson and Littler will stay in 'Fris- co tll Saturday.

A telegram to the New York Herald trom Marion, Mass, August 18, says: Soon after Mra Cleveland came to this town General Greely said ‘she came for absolute rest and would spend her tme in avery quiet manner, preparing for the season in Washington. After she had been here but a few days an invitation wasreceived toa quiet inner at the residence of Mr. A. W. Nickerson, a Boston millionaire, who bought the Great Hill House, a summer hotel near by, a few yearsago, and fitted it up as a summer residence. This invitation Was accepted, and also another to alittle tea party and reception at the residence of Mr. J. C. Pogram, another summer resident, formerly in thé Navy. ‘Then the invitations began to come in thick and fast, and Mrs. Cleveland’ found that it she accepted them she would not fnd the rest which she most needed, and which was the sole Teason for her coming to this qutet little summer resort. She finally concluded to give a public re- ception, which was accordingly done, and after- ‘ward 16 decline all invitattons to social gatherings of any kind.

How long is Mrs, Cleveland to stay? fs the ques- tion asked very frequently by the residents here. ‘The question 1s. hard one to answer. It was gen- erally understood when she first came that she ‘was to remain two: weeks, but that time expired some days ago, and she still remains and appears to be as much charmed as ever with Marion.

Conflicting Rumors as to the Determi- nation of the Government—One Crisis Averted, but Another Probable. ‘Special Cable Dispatch to Tre Evexrxo Sram. Lobo, August 19.—The proceedings in the Commons last night settled the question of an autumn session, but the great problem of the Proclamation of Une National League still exists. Curiously enough, in the the house last night every Journalist was convinced that a cabinet council had decided upon a proclamation, but I could not find a single member of parliament to share the belief, Irishmen knew nothing, and were equally incredulous and indifferent. I see from the provincial papers this morning that the tory London correspondents state that the govern- ment will proclaim the league, and most of the liberal correspondents say that it will not. It is quite possible that the acceptance by the govern- ment of the lord’s amendment to the land bill will suddenly and completely alter the aspect of the Present crisis by reviving the ery of “down with the lords,” and will reproduce a crisis similar to that when the lords threw out the compensation for the disturbance bill in 1880. ‘The hands of the home-rulers are immensely strengthened by the factthat the liberal unionists are strongly against the government on the mat- ter. The udvanced liberais are already calling upon Gladstone not to repeat the mistake of seven years ago, but to declare immediately Unat he will Fevurn from Chester to Westminster, call Morley back from Switzerland, and the rank and fle of the liberal party from’ the moors, the Alps, and the seas to obstruct to the last word every Vote of supply to be taken, and compel the gov- ernment, willy nilly, to appeal to the country on the double cry of HOME RULE AND HEREDITARY LEGISLATION. There 1s not much chance of his doing this, as he has not been very well lately.
