Sawr Lake, April 11 —I have not troubled Tae Bk with much of Mor- mou matters of late, so probably a few items resarding them may not be un- acceptable by way of a change. sur readers will recollect that a few months ago, I drew attention to the death of Orson Hyde, one of the sen- for members of the Council of the The vacancy in this body was yesterday filledat the general con- by the election of Elder Moses ser, of Logan, to be one of the ve apostles. Mr. Thatcher is a g man of great promise, hand- some 1 appearance, general in man- ners, and an _excellent business man. His connection with the Utah North- ern railroad, as well as position as his position as President of the Ziou Co-operave Mercantile Institution has brought him in association with mauy of the citizens of Omaha. His election is favorably regarded by the church, who esteem the introduction of young and vigorous blood into the présidiug council f the church as very ealutary, whilst the Gentiles, who take any interest in such matters, rd the selection &s about as good 16 as could be_made, as they look upos him as s liberal-minded man, well acquainted with the world and its ways, and thongh a thorough Apostles. feren Th: Mormon, not & fanatic. Mr. Thatcher was born angamon_county, Lli- nois, in February, 1842, but has long 14 resident of Utah. clesias- , Detre tie el tle- ship, Lie was the presiding elder over all the churches in Cache valley. He was a member of the upper house of the Ternitorial legislature at its last 1, and financially is sound. imly noticeable feature of the general conference at present in ses- sion (which has been largely devoted to the reading of financial, statistical ation and other reports), has been thediscourse of Hon.Geo.Q. Can- i C., for Utsh, on Sunday ternoon. It was a brilliant effort devoted largely to contrasting the ad- vantages of the Mormon system of marriages with mongamy. Nothing could be gathered from his remarks as to what were the iutentions of the leaders of the church with regard to their future course on _the marriage tion; he also seemed to studiously any reference to the reported effort that is being male to obtain the admussion of Utah in the Union. Muny think that the Mormons will be willing to have certain provisions in- serted into the enabling act regarding the marriage yuestion. Many leading statesmen of both parties are of the opinion that since the Supreme Court of the United States has rendered its deci ion the matter should be withdrawn from the arena of national political questions, and in Do way can it be 80 and advantageously accom- plished as by the admission of Utahas a sovereign State; but I must confess that the Mormons themselves appear | to be tuking but little interest in the matter, or if they do, they are laying Jow to watch developments. So great has been the drouth and heat of this spring that the residents of some well established settlements thought of removing en masse and en- tirely breakiug up their towns The thermometer at 100 degrees in the shade and no water in March, was so unexampled and o threatening that breaking up seemed to be their only safety. But, thank Providence, during the last 24 hours,copious showers have fallen on the thirsty land,and the husbandman, the herdsman snd the miner are all correspondingly happy. “There’s millions in it,” as Col.

Corbin, whom President Hayes has nominated for his successor, will be an improvement on the late incumbent. To show how_peculiar our late chief justice was, 1 will mention, that no sooner did the press dispatches an- nounce his removal than he at once dismissed buth grand and petit jurors and adjourned his court sine die. If Mr. Corbin does not accept, it is pos- sible that we may be without & court for some time,and with the very many important suits pending that would be a calamity to the parties interested if to no ove else. 'WINDSOR. e A YELLOW FEVER WAIF. A CHILD JOURNEYS ALONE FROM MEM- PHIS TO SAN FRANCISCO. San Franciso Chrouice. Aprel 9. A. Mr. Mr. Sneath andseveral Eng- lish Iadies and gentlemen visited the office of the Chief of Police last night and stated that they had just arrived on the overland train. At Omaha they found-a young girl named Anna Weichsl. r, aged 6 years, who had been passed to that point by the conductors on the various trains trom Memphis, Teunessee. Around the mneck of the little waif was a tag, on whi b with difficulty was de- cipiered, “63. Steiner.” Little An- na had in her possession §15and a let- ter which stated that her parents had died of yellow fever, and requesting all charitable persons to assist her in reaching her cisco, and to hnd a relative named Abele Paulucei. Several police officers were directed by the chief to hunt up this person, but up to a late hour last night _their search had proved unsuc- cesaful. The girl is being kindly-cared for by Miss Thimbleby at the Lick House, who is anxious that Anna’s relative should be found, as she pro- poses to leave for her destination, Brit- ish Oolumbia, in a few days.

Loxpox, April 14—68a. m.—A dis- patch from Cairo states that business is completely suspended, and is likely to remain so till the decision of Eng- land and France is known. The gov- ernmentis collecting money through- out the provinces; using every means of compulsion. An immediate levy of 10,000 soldiers has been ordered. A special envoy has been sent by the Khedive to Constantinople; he took with him a large sum of money for the Sultan. Chicago Times Cablogram. THE KHEDIVE AND THE SULTAN. Loxpox, April 12.—The pressure brought to bear on the sultan by the representatives of England and France with respect to Egyptain affairs has been apparently successful, although in some quarters it is feared that the khedive will defy the sultan’s threat to depose him and send Halim Pasha to succeed him, The opinion is also current that when the special messen- ger from the khedive reaches the sultan and the latter is fuily apprised oft ithe khedive's cide of the matter, and_of the strong popular support which his plan received in Egypt, he will withdraw from . his present position and, as he has done m other cases, take sdes with the khedive But the holdersof Egyp- tian bonds are elated with the belief thet France and England will finsist on the khidive's ren.oval or the rein- statement of the commissioners whom he has dismissed. The result of the cabinet coupeil at Paris to-day has not transpired. THE EHEDIVE'S ARMY. There are reports that the khedive has been contemplating his new move- ment for some time, and that he has made extensive preparations for re- sisting any plan to remove him. The khedive is now in his forty-ninth year and there are reasons to believe that for some time ke has entertained the ambition of throwing aside to a cer- tain extent his subserviency " to the sultan and becoming an_independent monarch. He has an army at his dis- posalof four regimentsofinfantry,num- bering 12,000 men, a battalion of chasseurs 1,000 strong, 300 cavalry, an excellent artillery service with 1,500 men, and two battalions of engiveers, which consist of 1,600 rank and file. Bosides theso thero are two regiments of black troops from Soudan, 1,000 stros His pavy consists of seven ships of the line, six frigates, nine cor- vettes, seven brigs, eighteen gunboats and twenty-seven wooden transport ships. HIS FINANCIAL SCHENE. The financial scheme provosed by the Khedive, and which is the bone of contention between himself and the Freuch and English bondholders, is based on the belief that without at all increasing the taxes of the wealthy classes in Egypt, and by compelling the foreign residents of Egypt, now exempt from taxation, to bear their proportion of the public burden, & sum to pay the interest on the bond- ed debt and provide a sinking fund which in twenty years would ex \guish the debt can be easily raised. THE CONFLICT OF OPINIONS in political and financial circles here respecting the matter is becoming more acute, and though the bondhold- ers have thus far toa great extent ob- tained the public ear, the other side of the matter has its advocates, who will probablynake themselves heard in Parliament on its reassemblitg after the kaster recess. Destructive Fire at Cairo. 8pecial dispatch to The Bee. Loxvox, April 14.—A dispatch from Alexandria says that a great fire is raging in Cairo, and has destroyed blocks of buifdings hundreds of yards long. Beo Vimssa, April 14.—A shell buried in the road exploded mear Prince Milan while he was walking at Nish, Tuesday. His aide de camp was avounded.

Wickham Hoffman, American cuarge d'affairs at St. Petorsburg, tel:graphs to the State Department that an attempt was made on the life of the Ozar this morning while Mijesty was walking near the impi palaces, The assassin discharged five shots at him without effect, and was arrested. CONGRATULATION, Becretary Evarts has telegraphed to the Ozar President Hayes’ congratul tions upon his escape from assassina- tion. Samoa. Spectal Dispateh to Tag Bas. Lospox_ April 14.-A dispatch from Berlin states that Germany, though entertaining no idea of annexing the Samoan island, intends to protect German interests and prevent Ameri- cans from establishing themselves there to the detriment of other na- tions. Gen. Manteufel has declined the governship of Alsace-Lorraine. Scraps. By the Assoclated Press. Free trade in Germany seems to gain by constant agitation in its favor. It is doubtful if the new elections would give Bismarck a large majority. J. H. Cartier, De Villemessant, journalist, and long director of the Paris Figaro, is dewg; age, 67. Waidington, French minister of foreign affairs, has informed the coun- cil of ministers that the Matacong affair is in process of settlement. France withdraws eight men who landed cn the islond. The council came to no resolution With regard to Egypt, simply deciding to act in an- tagonism with England. At the Mikado of Japan’s banquet to the ministers recently he censured their extravagance and luxury. A nocification from the Prime Minister followed, ordering a cessation of all superfluous expenditure_in the devel- opment of commerce and the stoppage of expenditures on public works. The Emperor’s household expenses ate reduced. The government directs the exportation of rice, resulting in the large loss of grain now held open to market. From Osaka Okuma, the tinance minister, and Enomoto, late ambassador to Russia, are appointed to negotiate a revision of matters. A colossal bronze statue of Dr. Liv- ingstone was recently uaveiled in Glasgow. Hobart Pasha is about to marry a young lady said to be “both preity and accomplished.” The statue of Lord Brougham, which is to be unverled =t Cazucs on the 15th of the present month, is said to be the first statbue of an Englishman ever erected on the Continent. A French General named Moulin has been put under arrest, and is lik: ly to be dissharged from the army, for refusing to allow a regimental band to play the “Marseillaise” during an in- spection of his troo The increase of crime in Switzerland has wrought such an effect upon publio opinion_that the Federal Council hus voted, 27 to 16, to re-establish the death penalty for murder, which was abolished some years ago. Sir Samuel Baker, writing of Cy- prus, says it is the most ill-favored and pestilential of islands, owing largely to the accumulation of filth forages in its principal harbor, which, however, can be dredged with Tittle difficulty. The Cremation Society of England, after consultation with the British Home Secretary, 'has_concluded to suspend operations until authority can be obtained from Parlismeut for its proceedings. This will bring the matter under discussion in the House of Comwuons. A man recently ventured to go to sleep in a railroad car in England, and waked up to find a man trying to “‘chuck him out o’ window.” "He put { astop to that, but the fellow made off with his watch and chain, dropping off the foot-bggrd unhurt and escaping in the darkness, The experiment of lighting the Holborn Viaduct with electricity was discontinued at the end of the stipulat- ed period of three months, The cost was 14 shilings 3} pence per hour, as against 1 shiling 11} pence for gus lighting. The illuminating power was about seven times that of gas. * A Liverpool druggist was lately fined for selling castor-oil pills which had “no appreciable quantity of cas- tor-oil” in’ them, though they con- tained rhubarb, aloes, ginger, cayenne pepper, soap, and a variety of other ingredients. They seem to have been a popular substitute for castor-oil, and it was stated that 250,000 boxes of them were sold per year. Among the recent diabolical crimes in France the following are related: A widow, named Jean Deschamps, conceived a passion for her danzhter's lover, man named Frangois Profol, and persuaded him to help her to strangle thegirl. The crime was per- petrated in the most savage way. The mother was condemned to death, and the man to hard labor for life. A youth named Olivier, aged 16, called on an old relative, a widow named Leclere, living alone st Batignolles, and whileher back was turned smashed her skull with a crowbar. Her ories aroused the neighbors, and the preco- cious murderer was captured as he was making off with her jewels and other valuables. A reconciliation has at last been effected between the Emperor Wil- linm_and the Duke of Camberland- The Duke renounces all claims on the Hanoverian crown, and recoguizes the Constitution of the German Empire. The Emperor surrenders the Welfian fand, (15,000,00), and recognizes the Duke as heir-apparent to_the Grand Duchy of Brunswick. The formal proclamation of this reconciliation takes at the celebration of the golden wedding of the Emperor, to which festivity the Duke' accepted an invitation, and, in order_to make the end of the story as good as the beginning, _the reigning Grand Duke of Brunswick has declared that he wishes to abdictate on the fiftieth anniversary of his_ascension to the WASHINGTON. The Inflationists Anxious to Air Their Wild Cat Plans. A Huge Number of Bills Await- ing the Shadow of a Chanee. Judge Kelley Ready with Moth Baten Schemes for the Nation's Relief. THE CALL OF STATES. ‘Sposial Dispatch to the Bes. Wasuisorox, April 14, § & m.— There is much interest felt in all po- litical circles regarding the course which Speaker Randall may pursue to- | 0-3- day in recognizing members. It de- pends wholly upon the speaker which of thr members of the Maine delega- tion shall be recogn'zed, for since the foundation of the government it has been the rule that shall be called for bills in order, com- mencing with the State of Maine. The inflationists have endeavored to [ ¥ have the rule changed this session 8o that the States shall be called in their |8t alphabetical order, but that proposi- tion has not yet been entertained. While the speaker has not indicated what his course will be, there is not. much probability that the inflationists can get any of these measures referred to committees to- day, unless the Republicans shall de- cide that it is more to their party in- terest that these wild schemes should be presented by the Democrats and their full plans be thus developed. There are eleven democrats who are hard money men in defiance of caucus action ; Bricknell of Indiana, Blount, Cook and Hammond of Georgis, Oly- mer of Pennsylvania, Covert of New York, Denster of Wisconsin, Hurd of Ohio, Johnston of Virginia, Morse of Massachusetts, and Tablot of Mary- land. Judge Kelly will introduce the Houee the bills by which it is pro- posed to require the treasury and al the subtreasuaries to redeem with legal tender money, subsidiary silver coins, whenever presented for redemp- tion in sums of 5 dollars or multiples thereof, and this bill also provides that the further coinage of trade dollars shall be stopped; that they shall for twelve months be re- ceivable at par for customs or any other obligations due the United States, and that when so received they shall be recoined into standard silver dollars. LATEST FROM THE CAPITAL. MAINE TO THE FRONT. Speciat Diepat to The Boc. Wasmyerox, April 14, 4 p. m— House—All members from Maine who offered a bill to put the fcoinay of gold and silver on the same foot Conger objected, asking a days’ no- tice. The Speaker overruled it. An appeal was taken, but the morning hour expired, and Ladd’s bill was not referred. Monroe, of Ohio, offered a resolu- tion against undortaking the curreucy or tariff business this session. Lost, by 108 to 117. In the Senate Blaine spoke on the army appropriation bill. He said the federal soldiers in the South averaged one to each county, and Democratic { Senators could not meet in the cloak room without blushing over the pre- tense of fear. CATTLE DISEASE. Information at the Treasury De- | partment from various official sources | is that pleuro pneumonia among the cattle in this country is slowly disap- pearing, owing to the prompt action of federal officials in connection with State authorities. HOW LONC? ECHO SAYS UNTIL JULY. Washington Spectal to the Chicago Tribu It now seems that the present ses- sion will last until July. This is the opinion of those most competent to judge. The discussion of the l-gisla tive bill in_the House will probably not be finished for ten days. The de- bate upon the army bill in the Senate is likely to consume two weeks. After the disposition of the army bill the Senate will next consider the legisla- tive b.ll, and in such a slow body will take at least a week to dispose of it. There will also be a pro- tracted discussion in both houses over ident’s vetoes, first on the army bill and next on the legislative be sustained. This will be followed by caucuses, negotiations, and parleys to avert the danger of leaving the gevernment without appropriations. The Democrats realize that they have not the strength requisite to carry out the programme of the extremists of their party, hence it is thought that a compromise of some kina will be reached. This is the opinion of the conservative Domocrats. POLK VS. HARRISON. Ex-Doorkeeper Polk will go before the Grand Jury here Monday and give his testimony against Mayor-elect Carter Harrison on the charge of hav- ing obtained money on irregular pay rolls when Chairman of the Committee on Civil Service Reform.

Alexander Stephens, i1 a card pub- lished this morning, referring to a telegram from Atlanta, Ga., which has gained currency in the West, says: T notice in the issue of your paper this morning a telegram from Atlanta, Ga., dated yesterday, stating that in an interview, which was to be pub- lished in The Constitution of that city, I had said: “The bogus Presi- dent will not veto the army bill,” ete.

HYDROPHOBIA. Special to Tho Chicago Tribune. MiuwaukrE, Wis., April 12.—At an early hour this morning sailor named Peter Snell died from the effects of hydrophobia at his residence, No. 311 Reed strect, south side. The facts connectei with the case are these: Capt. Paul Harry, of the schooner Mary Lyons, who boarded with Mr. and Mrs. Snell, had & dog, a yellow mongrel cur, that appesred to have been voted the freedom of the domicile. One afternoon late in in Jannary or early in February last, while Snell lay stretched upon the floor for & nap, this cur, which happened to b - in the room, discovered a soratch. ‘on his (Snell’s) nse and licked it: Snell meanshile raising no_ohjection to the proceeding, as he with others formerly believed in the curative properties of the salivia of a canine. The scratch healed and_ was soon forgotten, and the death of the dog, which occurred | a week or two later, under circum- stances that led to the belief that po son had been administered, did not serve to awaken any fears of danger. About a week ago Snell complained to his wife about a severe pain in the re- gion of the heart. It made an invalid of him, 50 to speak; yet hedid not take to his bed, but walked around and about on the streets on Monday and Tuesday of the present week. During Tuesday evening or early Wednesiay morning his throat became affected. The glards swelled so as to render swallowing difficult, and the mem- brane became parched and foverish, while the pain in the chest appeared to reach the throat also. was called, but the remedics prescrib- ed by him failed to produce any relief, and ns Snell gradually grew worse it was observed that he manifested an aversion to water, and st such times a8 it was offered appeared to suffera spasniodic convulsion. Then the in- cident of the the licking of the scratch on bis noss by the dug, and the subse- quent death of the snimal under peculisgfsymptoms, was recalled, and it becdme evident to the phy: that he had a clear case of hydrophobia on his hands. Snell rapidly grew aorse; the light became painful to his eyes, his aver- sion to water seemed to increase, while the swelling of the throat grew constantly. Food and water had to be injected into the stomach at last, as it was impossible for him to swallow either solids or fluids. OF course, un. der such circumstances, death became a question of hours rather than days, and final dissolution occurred at 6 o'clock this morning. During the closing hours of his illness Snell con- tinued rational, and was perfectly harmless toward those who attended him. He assured one and all to have no fear of approaching him, as he would do them no injury, and he was cnabled to keep his word, as his spasms never rendered it necessary to hold or even attempt to secure him. Two dogs that were bitteu by the cur belonging to Capt. Harry infights, have died within afew weeks of hydro- phobia, and it is believed that other curs in the neighborhood may be sim- ilarly affected. The seaman Snell, whose death is here recorded, was 30 years of age and ‘married, but has no children. ———— We offer a first-class white laun- dried shirt, with an improved reinforc- ed front, made of Wamsutta mualin, 3-ply bosom and cuffs of 2,200 linen, at the reduced price of §1.50.

Sr. Lous, April 12.—A St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Topeka, Kansas,spe- cial says: Gen. St. Johnbad a consul- tation to-day with Jim Cannon, In- dian guide, scout and interpreter from the Southern Indian agency regarding the reported design of the Indis to make another raid this season. Cannon said the Cheyennes and Arap- ahoes are sulky and will bear close watching. The capture and turning over to the civil authorities for trial of the Cheyenne chiefs, who led the raid last year caused a great deal of dissat- isfaction in the tribes sympathizing with them. Cannon thiinks they can be quieted, however, and kept on their reservation if early and impor- tant measures are taken. — —— NEBRASKA MAIL ROUTES. THE OFFICIAL LIST.

The O. & A claimed its share of business, but the St Louis roads insisted that the claim was unjust and refused to consider Manager J. C. McMullen's proposition to arbitrate the question. It is understood that the break was instigated by some of the executive board in New York, and that when matters have shaped themselves in that city that the pool will be renewed on an equitable basis.
