Lord Salisbury, for the second time within two weeks, has been the queen's guest at Wind- sor. His visit on Thursday was paid in order to discuss the Sackville incident, Lord Sack- ville has arrived in London. Lord Salisbury, as I have said before, is known to be resolve: against sending a minister to Washington while . Cleveland remains President. The queen, who follows the course of diplomatic events closely, is aware of the strong feeling in par- liament i Lord Salisbury’s policy. Mr. Cleveland's last message has only made the situation worse. The violent language which he thought it becoming to use onl bo want of dignity have weakened the hands of those who, with Lord Randoiph Churchill at their head, are for considering the Sackville incident closed. The debate which is expected to occur next week in the house of commons will show whether the queen has softened Lord Salis- bury’s stern resolve. = (niece No Cabinet Place Offered to Any Man. Indianapolis Special to the N. ¥. Tribune, Dec. 8 The statements published in many news- Papers that the President-elect has offered cabinet positions to different men are causing him much annoyance. A large number of let- ters are being received daily, ommending or disapproving the selections that he is credited with having made. He cannot undertake to explain to cach of these many letter-writers that they have been misled by false reports, The simple truth is, as has been stated ae 8c edly, no man has yet had the offer pf a cabinet position, and it is the hope of the President- elect that the assurances that this is the truth will be accepted as sufficient answer to the un- trustworthy reports to the contrary, bone sactandharh nissan i Going to Show Europe How to Skate. From the New York Tribune, Young “Joe” Donoghue, who is now on his way to England to win the skating champion- ship of Europe, is less than eighteen years of age.

London Cable to the New York Times. It is refreshing to note one portion of the Orient in which England has really scored a diplomatic victory, which changes the com- plexion of the whole Central Asian question. Sir Henry Drummond Wolff, whose mission to Persia was bitterly attacked by the liberals as inecure and a partisan job, has succeeded in getting Persia to give a lot of valuable trading rivileges to the English and to commercially Boyoot! the Russians ‘The importance of thi will be recognized when it is remembered that Persia is the real game at which the Rus- sians have been aiming through all their feints on the Afghan frontier. The Russian papers have gone into a frenzy of rage at this untoward development and are talking more excitedly against England than they have done before since the Penjdeh incident, Official dispatches from St. Petersburg recognize that the old Anglo-Russian difficulty is reopened in a new and threatening direction, and deplore the fact in language which is taken to mean that Germany will seize the oppo arm France and make herse! rope. Superstitions of the Stage. From the Lewiston Journal. “A cross-eyed girl is death to good luck on the stage,” said the old showman, who was in a pensive and talkative mood Saturday. “They are dead sure to bring bad luck—a regular hoodoo and no mistake, Lots of us won't travel with one in the omen.

Undertaker (to recent widow)—“In the death SHOT AT A DANCE. James Lacey Wounded in the Breast by Johu Lewis—Both are Colored Men. George Bailey, a colored man who lives on the farm of Albert Gleason, gave an entertain- ment to his friends Saturday night, and before Y o'clock all the colored people in the neigh- borhood were assembled st his house. Be- tween the dances beer was served. The even- ing passed off pleasantly until nearly 1 o'clock in the morning, when some one started a row. The men then went outside the bouse to con- tinue the quarrel, and during the melee James Lacey, colored, whose home is in Maryland, not fur from Brightwood, was wounded in the left breast by a bullet from a pistol in the hands of another colored man named Jobn Lewis, The report of the pistol shot caused considerable excitement and broke up the dance. The injured man was carried into the house. His clothing over his chest was sata- rated with blood, and a closer examination re- vealed the fact that the bullet had entered his left breast in the region of the heart. During the excitement Lewis left the farm and has not been see ve. He lived on the farm of Wil- liam Ray, bat he did not return there after the shooting. Fearing the injured man would die his friends placed him comfortably in a wagon and conveyed him to his home on the Shep- herd road in the District. Dr. Darling was summoned to attend him. and word was sent to this city notifying the police of the shoot- ing. Yesterday morning the officers of the eighth precinct investigated the affair and went in search of the fugitive. The police am- bulance was sent tothe injured man’s house yesterday and he was conveyed to the Freed- mans’ hospital, where he is now lyit The wound may prove fatal.

SAID TO BE ENGAGED TO TH |. & OCONSTL oF CHEMNITZ—SUE DENIES IT. The Paris correspondent of the New York Sun says that Mrs. Folsom, the mother of Mra. Cleveland, is about to wed Mr. Henry F, Mer- ritt, now United States consul at Chemnitz, The engagement was made when Mrs. Folsom was in Europe last summer, and the plan then was if Mr. Cleveland was re-elected to trans- | fer Mr. Merritt to Berlin, and make him min- | ister in place of Mr. Pendleton, whose feeble health will not permit his remaining much longer in active service. Now that Mr. Cleve- land’s presidential life has only three monthe torun, the plan at present is to appoint Mr, Merritt consul general to Berlin before the 4th of March, and it will be an easy matter to ar- Tange that Mr. Merritt shall remain under the republican administration. MRS. FOLSOM DENIES THE STORY, The New York Herald to-day says that the attention of Mrs. Folsom was called to the above article, and she was asked if there waa y truth in the statement that she was to marry erritt. She replied, “I would say the whole story is absolutely faise and without founda- tion.” a Election Reform in New Orleans. From the New Orleans Times-Democrat, Dec. 2. The conviction Friday of Martini, the clers in the office of the registrar of voters, who, just previous to the late election, tampered with the registration books and placed many fraudulent names on them, i¢ the first success ful attempt in New Orleans for years to vindi- cate the sancity of the ballot-box by punishing the men who through frauds of this kind made former city elections a farce and a scandal. District Attorney Luzenberg deserves the credit for the able and vigorous manner in which he pushed the prosecution and secured the conviction of Martini. The trick had been played so often before without risk that men of the Martini type had no fear whatever of punishment. They dealt out fraudulent = ‘ation papers, they stuffed ballot-boxes, and by their frauds they kept in power and forced upon New Crleans a government which brought upon it scandal and impoverishment. It took a revolution to defeat them last spring, and nothing but the firm and unflinching stand made by the citizens prevented the old game of fraudulent registration and stuffed ballot boxes being played again. There has been, we are ‘to say, a disposition shown to vun- dicate the election laws and to punish all vio- lators. Many political crimes had been com- mitte the past, but they went altogether unpunished. A new and better spirit prevails to-day, for the people now know their poner Ashort time ago one of the deputy sheriffs, who, in violation of the law and to defeat the election, deserted his poll and carried away the key of the ballot box, was convicted. Now comes the conviction of Martini, the first of ite kind since Tom Anderson's day.’ They should be followed by other prosecutions until every man guilty of election frauds is lodged in the penitentiary. ee Getting Around the Law. From the Albany Argus. The “secrecy of grand jury chamber” is am er legal fiction that is easily penetrated.
