THE SAMOAN HURRICANE. The English War Ship Escaped by Quickly Putting Out to Sea. Avckiaxp, March 80.—Later advices re- ceived here regarding the hurricane which devastated Samos and wrecked a number of German and American war ships, says the storm swept the island on the 16th inst, All the war ships attempted to put to sea, but only a Calliope succeeded in get- ting MANY MERCHANT VESSELS WRECKED. Merchant vessels suffered severely. The bark Peter Godeffrey, one other bark and seven coasters were wrecked and four persons were drowned. The Calliope sailed for Sydney. The Peter Godeffrey was a German bark, She had arrived at Samoa from Sydney. WHAT IS KNOWN AT BERLIN. Beart, March 30.—Advices received by the naval authorities here report that the storm raged during the 16th and 17th instants. Sev- enty joe from the Eber and twenty from the Adler were drowned. The Olga was stranded but her crew were saved. All the merchant vessels anchored at Samoa foundered. SEVENTY-FIVE GERMANS LOST. Beaux, March 30.—It is officially announced that five officers and fifty men from the Adler and twenty men from the Eber were drowned. Private Advices in Baltimore. Battrmore, March 30.—Several private dis- patches have been received in Baltimore from persons on the wrecked vessels who had rela- tives in this city. Lieut. R. M. G. Brown, of the Trenton, is a son-in-law of President Davis, of the West Virginia Central railw: Mrs. Brown to-day received a special tele- gram from her husband, which said: “Iam all right.” The dispatch was sent from Auckland, N. Z., this morning. Jordan Stabler, grocery merchant, received a private cable d'spatch from Auckland this morning, saying: ‘Trenton wrecked. All saved.” THE NIPSIC LITTLE DAMAGED, New York, March 30.—A dispatch to Win- slow, Wittlock & Co., in this city, to-day, from Quartermaster Corwin, of the American man- of-war Nipsic, states that that vessel was blown ashore during the late gale. but suffered but little damage: that the vessel will be floated to- morrow and that her crew are all safe. FUNERAL OF JOHN BRIGHT. Crowds of People Line the Route of the Procession. Loxpox, March 30.—The funeral of Mr. John Bright took place to-day. Crowds of people lined the route of the procession from One Ash, Mr. Bright's late residence near Rochdale, to the cemetery. Among those present were Rt. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, Sir Wilfrid Lawson, Mr. Jesse Collings, Mr. Arnold Morley, Mr. William Rathbone, and Gen. Lyndoch Gardi- ner. ©. B., equerry in ordinary to Queen Vic- toria, who represented her majesty. A number of deputations headed the procession. Fifteen carriages containing mourners followed the hearse. Eight of Mr. Bright's workmen carried the coffin to the hearse, and from the hearse to the grave. When the coffin was deposited in the grave the mourners gathered around in silent medita- tion, according to the custom of the Quakers, to which sect Mr. Bright belonged. The dean of Founders college afterward delivered an oration. He spoke of Mr. Bright a3 a man of great simplicity, who did not attribute his talents to his own efforts, but con- sidered them gifts from God. A WREATH FROM THE QUEEN. Four wreaths remained on the coffin when it was lowered into the grave. One was sent from Biarritz by Queen Victoria. Attached to it was her majesty’s autograph. Another was from the Prince and Princess of Wales, with a card bear- ing the words: ‘As a mark of respect.” The | third was from Mr. Bright's work people and the fourth from Miss Cobden. Miss Cobden’s wreath was a card inscribed: “In loving memory of my father's best friend.” Col. Gourand to Mr. Lincoln. _ ASSURANCES OF AN EXCEPTIONALLY CORDIAL WELCOME FROM AMERICANS IN ENGLAND. Loxvox, March 30.—Col. Gourand, of the | British army, who served on Gen. McClellan's staff in the Army of the Potomac, has sent the following d.spatch to Mr. Lincoln: “Hon. Robert Lincoln, Chicago: In expressing as an old friend and comrade my most hearty and sincere congratnlations upon the weil [merited honor you have received from the President and the country, I may confidently ld the assurance that Ainericans residing in England will weleome you with quite excep- tional unanimity and cordiality, no less on ac- count of your personal merits than as the son of one whose name and memory are the pride and glory of us all.” —— From Wall Street To-Day.

She was bark rigged, 185 feet long, 35 feet broad, drew 14.3 feet, displaced 1,375 tons, and was a slow vessel as things now go, being set down as a little over 10 knots in speed. She sailed away from the United States with 180 officers and aboard, making the total strength ofthe American fleet at Samoa, 800 men, or nearly double the strength of the Ger- man forces, NATIVITY OF THE Lost. C. H. Hawkins, lost on the Vandalia, wasa Washingtonian, Thenativity of the other men, as far as known, was as follows: Baker, London; Brisbane, Long Island; Brown, Germany; Craigen, Dublin: vis, Boston; Downey, Baltimore; Erickson, Sweden; Gor- man. Ireland; Green, Baltimore; Griffin, Ire- land; Howatt, ; Jordan, New York; Stahl- man, San Francisco; Stanford, California. Those of the Nipsic, beside Callan, are as follows: Johnson, Annapolis; Kelleher, Ire- land; Poutsell, Belguim; Watson, Ireland; Gill, Norway; Heap, England, THE GERMAN VESSELS. The Olga had 267 men, the Adler 127 men, and the little Eber 86 men, yet with one-half of the number of the American forces these un- fortunate vessels appear to have lost more than twice as many men. Some naval officers think this is an indication that the American vessels had greater structural strength than the Ger- man ships, or that superior seamanship was shown. A naval officer, in commenting on the com- parative loss of life between the American and German vessels, said that it was no doubt due to the less rigid, careful discipline that exists on the German men-of-war. Their ac- tual routine rules are, perhaps, as strict as those on our vessels, but they have not the same system that enables a crew to save itself, WHAT CAPT. MEADE 8AYS OF THE HARBOR. From Capt. Richard W, Meade, now com- mandant of the Washington navy-yard, who commanded the U. 8. 8. Narragansett in the Samoan waters in 1872 and made the original treaty or compact which has led to all the sub- sequent complications with Germany, the fol- lowing description of the weather in the harbor | of Apia is obtained: The harbor of Apia in | Upolu, where American and German ships are reported wrecked, is a coral reef harbor, with an entrance about 1,500 yards wide and open to the north. It is not a large harbor and the an- chorage ground is limited. During the hurri- cane season, which lasts through December, January, February, March, and April, it is con- sidered rather a risk to remain in Apia, while Pango Pango, in the neighboring island of Tu- tuila, is perfectly safe, being land-locked and otherwise sheltered. Hurricane’s are, how- ever, not very frequent at the Samoan Islands, though they occur regularly at the Tonga group. They generally sweep up through the belt of ocean between the Tonga and Samoan groups. In April, 1850, and in January, 1870, the islands were visited by terrific hurricanes which destroyed the cocoa nut, banana, and bread fruit crops, reducing the ‘natives to the verge of starvation for several weeks, These hurricanes are often accompanied by earth- quakes, which though alone do not cause much jamage yet accompanied by the hurricane make terrible injury, On the 26th March, 1883, all the vessels in Apia harbor except one small schooner were driven out to sea and lost, This was attributed at the time toa number of heavy tidal waves caused by an earthquake. On shore consider- able damage was done also. But on the whole the climate of Samoan islands, though variable, is very pleasant, the only bad weather occurring during the winter months, At this time there are long and heavy rains attended at times with high winds and northerly gales, but ordinarily the winds are light and variable, with frequent and sud- | den squalls of wind and rain, ‘The rest of the year the weather is very fine, and from May to November the trade wind blows steadily | from the southeast, | The telegraphic report of the loss of the ships of the American and German fleet makes no mention of the English man-of-war previ- ously reported there also, She may have had steam up and have Les at once tu sea—by far the safest course under all the circumstances, Except Capt. Mullan of the Nipsic it is not known that any of the American commanding officers had ever had any experience in these islands or knew of the risk uttending the at- tempt to ride out a hurricane in Apia harbor, CAPTAIN SELFRIDGE ON SAMOAN HURRICANES. Captain Selfridge. U. 8. N., was found at the Navy department this morning poring over a chart of the harbor of Apia, which he visited several years ago. He said that while it was a very bad harbor, it was the best on the island of Upola, Like all of the Pacific island harbors, that of Apis is formed by acoral reef encircling the island ata short distance from the shore. ‘The anchorage space available for men-of-war is contracted, being about 1,000 feet wide at the mouth of the harbor. The bottom is sandy, affording slight hold for an anchor, and the harbor is exposed on the north, On each side of the entrance are coral reefs which are awash at high water, and are surrounded by shoals, The depth of water ranges from 4 to 8 fathoms, pretty dee, being found close in shore, which woul aship to get close in, Hurricanes or cye at Apia are usually from the southwest, and re- volving in the harbors, tend to force vessels on the rugged reefs or rough shoals, The last hurricane occurred at Apia just six years ago, | Fortunately no men-of-war were in the harbor, but every merchantman was driven ashore of wrecked: houses were destroyed and palm trees uprooted, IT 18 THE OPINION OF ADMIRAL HARMONY, who is also familiar with the Samoan Islands, that the English man-of-war owed her escape to the fact that she had steam up and was enabled to push out to sea. The very number of vessels lying in the small harbor was a source of danger to them individ- ually, for if one dragged her anchors she would yery probably collide with and carry away another ship which might otherwise have held securely, EXPRESSIONS OF REGRET. The news of the disaster created a profound sensation at the Navy department, and every employe, from the Secretary down, freely ex- pressed their regret. Secretary Tracy could not see cause to condemn any one, ‘The officers in command of the vessels were competent men and had doubtless adopted all ox precautions against disaster, but these hurricanes, which assumed cyclonic propor- tions, were simply irresistible, as was proved by the extent of the loss of the vessels, Lieut. Lucien Young, who is himself almost the sol¢ survivor of the wreck of the ill-fated Huron off Cape Hatteras, looked sadly over the list of the drowned and marked down poor Roach. the paymaster’s clerk, as an old ship- mate gone. ONE OF THE BEST SHIPS IN THE NAVY. Capt. Howison, at present the president of the steel inspection board, com- manded the Vandalia before Capt. Schoonmaker. He considered that the Vandalia was one of the strongest and best ships of the old navy, THERE WAS A RUMOR that Secretary Tracy had received a dispatch gfrom the Maritime exchange of New York giving confirmatory particulars of the wrecks at Apia, but dwelling more in detail on the losses of the Germans. The Secretary stated to a Star reporter that he had not seen nor heard of such a dispatch COST OF THE ADMIRAL'S DISPATCH. At the rate of $3.50 a word, which is under- stood to be the tariff for cable dispatches trom : | Auckland to Washington, Admiral Kimberley's | dispatch to the Secretary of the Navy cost in the neighborhood of $850, Itis expected that the detailed reports of the wrecks will reach San Francisco by the steamer of April 13, and will be received here about the 20th of April, ASKING FOR INFORMATION. Telegrams were received at the Navy depart- ment from Mrs, Schoonmaker, Mrs, Arms, and Mrs, Sutton (mother of Lieut.

He said afternoon that the cyclonic storms are a feature of the climate in the South Pacific They have a motion exactly the reverse of those Evel iy, Weta the northern hemisphere, but otherwise have about the same characteristics. Their path is parabolic and they occur several times a: year iat two or three seasons go By withen wo seasons wi such astorm, butnot frequently, Te crperiecondoae: man, with a good barometric eye, the approach of such a storm in the two or three depend largely upon the nature of the storm. The general rule is that smaller storms move more rapidly than the larger ones, THE GERMAN VESSELS. ‘The German vessel Olga was a single-decked cruiser of 2,200 tons displacement and was built in 1880, She was unarmored and unprotected. Her principal battery consisted of eight six- inch Krupp rifles and a number of Hotchkiss revolving cannon. The Adler ang Etyr were not such vessels as the Olga. Tie Adler carried four and the Eber three Krupp guns. ———— ++ —___—_ PENITENTIARY SENTENCES. A New Rule in the Criminal Court— Persons Sentenced To-Day. To-day in the Criminal Court, Judge Mont- gomery, several sentences were imposed, and a material change was made in the wording of the sentence. For some time past the time of sentence has commenced at noon from the date of conviction. If the cases were take to the General Term months would sometimes elapse before the convicts could be taken to the Al- bany penitentiary, and their period of labor in prison would be curtailed to some extent. The court to-day in imposing sentences, instead of using the words ‘‘to take effect from the day of your conviction” “or from to-day,” used the words “to take effect from the day of your ar- rival at the penitentiary.” This rule will doubtless discourage appeals, The first case called for sentence was that of Dallas M. De Hughes alias Marion D. New- man alias G. M. St. Clair, convicted January 8 last, of false pretenses by means of a false letter and telegram. The court imposed a sentence of two and a half years in the Albany penitentiary, Mr. Campbell Carrington, his counsel, stating that he desired to take the case to the Court in General Term, the court di- rected a stay of execution of sentence for sixty B e Hughes, it will be remembered, was_ar- rested here for obtaining money from Mrs. Smith, and it was subsequently ascertained that while here as an insurance agent he had obtained $100 from Breese & Sons, of Balti- more, by pretending that his daughter had died here, and for this he was tr Scott West, assault with intent to kill Hugh Murphy, plead not guilty. Charles Williams, a colored boy who pleaded guilty to larceny last Saturday, was sentenced to one year in the penitentiary. Benjamin Jackson, who plead guilty of horse- stealing Saturday last, was sentenced to Albany for three years, In the cases of Lawrence Murphy for forgery and George M. Codera for grand larceny, a nolle prosse was entered. Robert Logan, the colored man convicted un- der February 27, on indictment for the murder of his wife was next called. His counsel, . M. M. Holland, stated that he had filed a mo- tion for a new trial, Logan was called up and questioned and said to the court that he did not desire to be tried again and asked that the court be lenient. A sentence of five years in the Albany county penitentiary and a fine of $100 was apouele SECOND-STORY BURGLARS. Wayman, Parker, Sewell and Waters in the Police Court To-day. it detect est Indies days in advance, but that would EXAMINED AS TO THE ROBBERIES AT THE RESI- DENCES OF SENATOR DAWES, COL. BRITTON, LIEUT. TYLER AND OTHERS—TESTIMONY IN ‘THE CASE, Lewis Wayman, alias “Pat Randolph,” Geo. Parker, Columbus Sewell and James Waters, the negroes arrested for alleged complicity in the burglaries at the residence of Senator Dawes, Col. Britton, Lieut. Tyler and others, were taken to the Police Court to-day, Parker and Wayman, alias Randolph, were charged with burglary at the house of Col. Britton. George Parker was charged with a similar of- fense at the house of Lieut Tyler. Parker and Sewell were charged with robbing Senator Dawes’ house and Waters was charged with re- ceiving some of the stolen property. The case of Parker, for robbing Lieutenant Tyler's house, was first called. Campbell Car- rington entered for him a ple: “not guilty.” Lieutenant Tyler was the first witness called. Mr. Carrington asked that before his testi- mony was heard the officers in the case be ex- cluded from the room, ‘The court granted counsel's request. Lieut. Tyler testified that the jewelry was stolen between and 7:45 o’clock.” The room had been vacated only a few minutes, and when some one returned to it the door was locked and had to be broken open, It was then discovered that the robbery had been committed, ‘MRS. TYLER’S TESTIMONY, Mrs. Tyler testified that on the evening of the robbery she went down stairs to dinner about 7:30 o'clock. About fifteen minutes later her maid found the door of the reom locked. Her husband and another gentleman broke open the door, and she then discovered that her box of jewelry had been stolen. The jewelry was in several cases and they were in a tin box. DETECTIVE RAFF TESTIFIED that when the robbery was reported he went to the house and found the footprints under the window. On information re- ceived, witness caused the arrest of the defendant. In company with other officers he went to James Waters’ room in the St. Cloud building. After conversing with Waters they went over beyond Uniontown and recovered the property. Waters was then brought face to face with Parker. Waters re- hearsed his statement previously made to the officers, and Parker sai take all the blame on myself; I did the job. On cross-examination witness said that Parker was arrested by the officers of the third pre- cinct, and witness called at the station to inter- view him, During the first interview the de- fendant denied his guilt, When witness went there the second time he took the prison- ers shoet and they fitted in the i made under Lieut. Tyler's win- itness said that orders were left at the station to letno onesee the prisoner, and added: «But we always let lawyers see prisoners when they are employed by them.” OBJECTED TO THE CONFESSION AS EVIDENCE. Mr. Carrington questioned witness concern- ing the alleged ‘voluntary” confession, and thought that under the circumstances the so- called confession should be stricken out, He thought the confession was not voluntary. The court overruled Mr, Carrington’s mo- tion. Witness, continuing, said that while they (the officers) were hearing Waters’ story in the presence of Parker, the latter was very nerv- When Waters finished nis statement wit- nees turned and asked. ‘How about i It was then that he assumed this responsibility, HELD FOR THE GRAND JURY, The court held the prisoner for the grand jury and fixed bail at $2,000. Mr. Armes, the prosecuting attorney, said that he was going to ask for $5.000 bail, as he had two other cases against him. The court thereupon fixed bail at $2,000 in each case, making a total of $6,000. THE OTHER CASES. In the ease of Waters, charged with receiv- ing stolen property, Mr. W. P. Williamson, hi counsel, said he would waive an examination. The cases, three in number, were sent to the grand jury, and bail was fixed at $2,000 in ach, making €6.000 in all. The case of Defendant Sewell was called, and Mr. Armes stated that as Senator Dawes was engaged in the Senate he would ask that the case go over until Tuesday, Bail was fixed at $1,000. The charges against Wayman were also continued until Tuesday, and bail was fixed at A —___ ALEXANDRIA, Reported for TH Evexyxa STAR.

The ever-hopeful office-seeker and the office-seeker’s worn-out friends were pres- ent from before 10 a. m. until the door was closed at 1 o'cloc! Many of them were armed wit petitions of - improved desi an some oi them hed their pockets distended with bulky ments from fellow citizens who prefer | rather to dwell in the tents of private endeavor than to enjoy the pleasures of office holding for a season, First to see the President was the sedate ator Pennsylvania—Matthew Stanles Quay, but what at the intervie may never be known to the outside world. Neither the Presideat nor the man who man- his campaign are in the habit of saying much. The Iowa Senators were a good second to Mr. Quay, and they went in looking as though they meant business; they came out with smile-| gled countenances;ratber an extra- ordinary condition of affairs, for both are essentially grave men. THE NATIONAL CALAMITY. Representative Vandever had barely con- cluded his remarks when Secretary Blaine | hurried in, and his appearance shut the crowd off for some fewminutes. The great naval dis- aster was talked over by the couple in the lil although neither of them felt assured of truthfuiness of the reports. Hardly had th separated when Secretary Tracy and his na’ secretary, Lieutenant Mason. came in with the cablegram from Admiral Kimberly confirming the rumors and setting forth the facts that the navy in the Pacitic had been se- riously cri)pled and .that the lives of fifty American seamen had gone up out of the storm which beat on Samoa’s rocky shores on the 15th instant, ; The President was very much affected and he repeatedly expressed his eympathy for those who had been bereaved by the calamity—a national calamity, he termed it. “OMIO WILL NOT BE NEGLECTED.” Representatives McKinley and E. B. Taylor, of Ohio, talked for some time of what was really needed in the “Buckeye” state, but they had to leave without securing any positive as- surances, ‘Ohio will not be be neglected,” the President is reported to have said. Senator Paddock then called around to see if there was anything in the way of an office lying loose which Nebraska could pick np. He gave place to a New Eugland crowd, composed of Senators Hoar and Platt and Representative Lodge. Right at their heels came Senators Blair and Marston, closely followed by Senator Hawley and a friend. Senator Allison then put in an appearance for the second time, going in with his left arm twisted around the biceps and triceps of Rep- resentative Tom Reed's right gesticulator. THE THREE Macs. Senator McMillan and Representatives Mc- Kenna and McComas were in the next bunch of visitors, and among the others were Senator Stockbridge and Representatives Ewart, Post, Brower, and Taylor, of Tennesse Ex-Senator Wallace and Representative Thompeon followed each other into the pres- ence, and behind them was Representative Ryan, now minister to Mexico. Representatives attention of the Senators individually and col- lectively to-day, Within 10 minutes after the Senate was called toorder they went into executive session to consider this nomination. All of yesterday's executive session until 10 minutes to 5, when they adjourned, was taken up in consideration of this case, and the bitterness of the opposition was made appar ent in the debate, Senators Sherman, Black- burn and Spooner supported the nomination, and Teller, Evarts and Payne spoke in opposi- tion to it. These speeches took up all the time and the matter came over until to-day. EFFORTS IN HIS BEHALF, The principal work by Mr. Halstead’s friends last night and this morning was with the dem- ocrats, but it isa matter of grave doubt as to the success of these efforts, Just before the doors of the Senate were closed for the executive session it was claimed by the opposi- tion that Beck and Blackburn were the only demiocrats who would vote for confirmation, and that the defeat of Mr. Halstead was cer- tain, THE FIRST SPEECH at to-day’s session was by Mr. Sherman in reply to the opposition speeches of yesterday, Both the President and Secretary Blaine have been working in the interest of Halstead since last night with much ear: ess, and it is pretty well understood this morning that every Senator who opposes the contirmation will incur the displeasure of the administration. All the Senators who called on the President or the Secretary of State were spoken toon this subject, and the gravity of the situation was made plain enough, it is thought, to pre- vent those Senators who refrained from voting yesterday from joining the opposition to-da: To take the appearance of personal revenge from the opposition the argument is being pre sented that a man so indiscreet in speech as to attack distinguished men in his own party in a hasty temper, has not sufticient self-control to be trusted to deal with the American interests in the court at Berlin at this time, ‘MR, HALSTEAD’S POSITION, The friends of Mr. Halstead are very indig- nant at the character of the opposition. They ried the confirmation, and the Conmercial- jazette will, it is declared, keep up a hot war- fare on them, whatever the result of the vote may be. Mr. Halstead has not sent any dis- patches on the subject to any Senators of either party, and no one connected with the Commer- cial-Gazette office here or in Cincinnati has taken any steps in the matter whatever. Mr. Halstead merely insists that the nomina- tion should not be withdrawn. THE NOMINATION REJECTED. At 2:30 this afternoon the Senate by a vote of 25 to 19, refused to reconsider the vote by which the nomination of Mr. Halstead as min- ister to Germany was rejected. This finally disposes of the matter, rejecting the nomina- tion. Among the democrats, Blackburn and Call voted with Mr. Halstead’s friends. DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. THE COBBLESTONES WILL BE RELAID. Some days ago Public Printer Benedict, in a letter to the Commissioners, complained of the condition of the pavement in alley in rear of the government printing-oftice and asked that it be improved. Capt. Symons, to whom the matter was referred, made an indorsement on the papers to the effect that the cost of an as- halt block pavement in the alley would be 2,692.01 and for granite block $2,982.33. As there is no fund out of which the cost of either could be paid, he recommends the relaying of | the cobblestones at a cost of #300. The Com- | missioners have approved his recommendation , and will order the work at an early day. NO MORE POLES ON WOODLEY-LANE ROAD. Some days ago Mr. 8. M. Bryan, in a jetter to the Commissioners requested permission to | set a line of poles on Woodley-lane road from 19th street to the Tenleytown pike. Capt. Symons, to whom the matter was referred, recommends that in this as well as all other cases new lines of poles be not permitted, but | that wherever one line of poles is sufticient | that all companies using the road be required to consolidate on the one line of poles. He says that Woodley-lane road is a very narrow road - if oa nage ana = eee 4 good | many lines o! travel on it wi greatl; incommoded. a3 " ANOTHER SCHOOL SITE AGREED UPON, Supervising Principal Stuart, of the third division, and Superintendent Powell called on H the Commissioners this morning relative to the —— of @ school site in North and East ‘ashington. It is understood that the site has been decided upon and will be purchased in a day or so, It is near the Blair school.

THE DISTRIBUTION OF VIRGINIA PATRONAGE was the burning question which agitated a delegation from the Virginia republican league of the District of Columbia. The little com- pany was composed of W. C. Martin, president f the league; G. R. Seymour, P. K. Jones, C. R, Barnes, E. B. Vinston and L. W. Quisenberg. They told the President that they were not members of any of the Virginia fac- tions—they were republicans—and they wanted the President to so distribute the offices that a loyalty to the party to devotion to faction, A FREE-FOR-ALL, few of them might fall to men who preferred One o'clock was very near then, but the Presi- dent told Doorkeeper Loefiler to let every- 1 The Charges Against Wolfly. j HIS ACCUSEE FAILS To SHOW UP TO-Dat. ‘The latest charges against Louis Wolfty, who has once been confirmed as governor of zona, and upon which a reconsider has been ent torelate to his services as iter < do business in violation _ Woiffy says the report doubtless | by some one affected by his , Cartain distilleries in Louisiana. | J.

In the Criminal Court this afternoon the mo- tion for a new trial in the case of Albert Green, convicted November 14 last of the murder of James Lucas September 12, 1887, was called. Mr. R. B. Lewis, the prison- er’s counsel, said that he was still in a peculiar position, and in the absence of the prisoner he would not like to withdraw his motion, or in fact take any action. The court sent for the prisoner, and he was brought into court about 2:20 o'clock. He seemed to be in a cheerful mood. and at once entered into conversation with Mr. Lewis. The latter ina few moments said to the court: “Green says that he accepts the commutation, and therefore there need be no further action.” ‘The court said to the prisoner, --You under- stand that oy President has commuted the sentence passed upon you a few weeks be hanged by the neck, your case a motion for a new trial been some uncer- the since to and appeal. and there has tainty as to whether you desire to press the es! one northwest; @5,100, a i ary ge and brought Gn iccanteae the Glenwood road Geach in wtew See S if he continued in the suit he would do in- justice to innocent parties, The east room had in it nearly 1,000 people when, at a few minutes after 1, the President He hada more than ordinarily grave look on his face but seemed well, The monotonous haud-shaking was disposed of at about the average rate of speed, and there were but few breaks or stop- There was nota single baby in the As to Ixterron Department Dismrssats.— Secretary Noble issued the following order to- “Heads of bureaus and other officers of | thi i 1 i will ask no favors of the republicans who are | tt department will not call for resignations used it in slow ¢ lualarial diseases, w I believe it to be b nl plaints, also one of the be: bad id evention from water was bad. tn preventing simmer st aente we Lave to Reo the driuking water upon the tus Kidues Pears Soar, Pears Soar.
