'HE OMAHA DAiLy BEE THIRTEENTH YEAR. . OMAHA, NEB., JONDAY MORNING., MAY 25, 1885, NO.238 ON WATCH. The Common Part of Cilizens of the 014 World, —— Russia’s Action in the Afghan Mattor Oriticised, Paternity of a Young German Stater. man Flaced Upon Emperor Villlam—British Politics, THE AFGHAN ISSUE., AN ADJUSTMENT OERTAIN, Special Telegram to The Bk, Cu1cAGo, 111, May|24,—Archibald Forbes cables the Chicago Times in regard to the En Russian situation: ‘‘Abstention on the part of & od power from ratifying an argument accepted by her embassador and her special envoy is a fact very rare in the History of diplomacy. Itisso atodds with »ll traditionsand the courtesics of interna- tional intercourae that it seeoms necessarily to concenl some treacherous purposs, This, in the case of Russia, would be by no means inccnsistent with the methods she haa devel- oped from the beginniog, 1Itisnot wonder- ful that the non-accoptance by the czar and his advisers of the delimitation line, sattled between Lord Kimberly, and Baron De Stasl and Tessar stimulate the rank crop of startling alarmist reports, The sense of danger is hightened by the obstinate reticence of the ministers regarding the points at issue, The truth of the matter I believe to be somewhat o follows: Tmmediataly after tho agreement was an- nounced a number of the most influential pagers freely expressed their opinion and de- tailed England’a surrender, protesting that the ministry would sacrifice the last ditch rather than fight. The Russian government failed to take into account the untrammeled character of the Kuglish press, and these utterances inapired the astute advisers of the czar with & belief that the newspapers re- flected the real attitude of Groat Britain and that the ministry was easily squeezsable to a much greater extent than was at first deemed roz»flblo even by the arrogant military faction having the ear of the Russian ruler. So negotiations were hung up and kept so, I have assUraLCe that TRussia must ultimately accept, with trifling modifi- cations, or confront tho alternative of war_on this issue, Ministers of whatever sbade of opinion or however much at odds on other pointe, are united that neither power really wanta war, but it is cortain that Great Buitain, if things come to the worst wants less badly to avoid than Russia in spite of the hypocritical assurance of the latter power and the bombastic fury which the war patty displays. ENGLISH DETERMINATION. The retention of the guards at Alexandria hasno reference whatever to the present Egyptian complicatione, but is meant as a mignificant intimation to Russia that Eogland, however she may prefer peace, is in dead earaest, and ready to act promptly if tha need comes,’ ‘The shrewdest experts scout the iden of war. Negotiations may drag along slowly, but n ultimate agreement s cortain by mutual consent. Tha farce of mediation is in the meanwhile abandoned. The AFGHAN PREPARATIONS, Afghans aro proparing with great vigor to defend their frontior, Their troops aro con- centrating rapidly on Herat, and niflad small arms are being rapidly substituted for the antiquated and obsolete weapons hitherto in use, BISMAECK ON DECK. Thera is a pretty geaeral belief on the con- tinent that Prince Bismarck, who is_always on the alert towin the smallest possible ad- vantage for Germany, is inspiring the tardi- noss of the Russian negotiations, hoping to briug a pressure to buar on Eogland m Ezypt. Ho is credited with a determination to end 1n one way or anothor the present anamolous sitution in the land of tho Nile—cither to bring about & Krith protectorate and re- sponsibility, or the full restoration of the in- ternation, or rather the multiplication of the latter alternative, which is & sacrifice of Brit- ish interests, THE FALL OF KHARTOUM, Special Telegram to The Bre. New York, Muy24.—A London cable says: *“An Fgyptian sorgoant, who was present at the fall of Khartoum, and who was fortunate enough to bs spared In the almost general massacre, has succeeded in escaping from the mahdi’s ' clutches, and reached Assouan, From him many interesting pmticulars con- cerning the capture of Khartoum have been learned. He says that atthe time of the cap- ture Khartoum was on the verge of famine. Supplies of all kinds were almost exhausted, snd food was selling at exhorbitant rates. The rebel army, which numbered some twanty-five thousand men, duricg one night filled up the trenches around the town, and the next morping at daybreak they effected an entrance into the city. A frightful sceno of carnage eusued and nearly the whole of the garrison, numbering 18,000 souls, were eubjected to massacre, The head of Gen. Gordon was cat off and carried in barbnrious triumph and ex- ultation to E1 Mahdi himself, who received the ghastly prize with eager eati:faction. toward the eveniog of this miserable day spies reported that vessels bearing soldiers and provisions were coming from the north, but this relief was too late. The city had fallen, Its brave defenders were dead, and the head of its dovoted leader was the gory possession of the rebal chief, The sergeant “says that if the Englieh had arrived only a few hours earlier they would have been able to save the town, Three days after the capture of the city the rebels executed two of the traitors them by their treachery to gain possession of the place, The other one of the three traitors was spared and joined the mahdi's army. SENTENCED FOR RXPOSING THE EMPEROR, Hamburg has at present a lasting_subject for qwir. scandul and excitement. Dr, Tap- pen 18 & learned man and bas long been a prin- cipal of the famous Hamburg echool. He also acted as correspondent for a nowspaper aummhwl in Buenos Ayres, In one of his atters to this paper, the doctor gave & bio graphical notice of* the German socialist deputy, Vierreck, in which it was stoted that Vierreck was a very closo relation of the German emperor, he ¢ ntext made bat one interpretation of this statement poseible, and that was that Dr Tappen meant to insinuate that Vierreck was the natural son of Emperor William. The statement was soon placed under official notice, It wasdecided to be io sulting to the emperor and Dr, Tappen was rested and tried before a criminal court of Hamburg on charge of having insulted the emperor, The doctor was convioted and sen to three months’ imprisonment and to expul- sion from the school over which he had so long presided with eminence, From this esn tence Dr, Tappen npl}n«led to the supreme tribunal of Lelpslc. The tnbunal has just confirmed the sentence of the Hamburg court, THE EGYPTIAN HUMILIATION, The reappearance of the Bosphore Egyptien 1s rogarded as & flagrant violation by France of the understandivg which Gladstone de- clared to she house of commons., The gov ernmeont appears {o accept this fresh humilia- tion in their usual christian spisit. Outside of government circles the humiliation gives rise to more imprecations thau prayer, The diegust of the public with the courss of af fairs in Fgypt is not lessened by the discovery that Turkey is the power whom the ministry are trying to induce to ocoupy Suskim, Eng. iand once more learns her cheek and accepls thd protest of other powers against a deduc tion from the cupon condition forming & part of the agreement which the 1ame powers de lay ratitying. Rotbchilds to-day issued notice that the cupon would be paid in fall, Bis marck heads this coalition. He once meant to force Iingland to accept responsibilities in Egypt. It is feared he means to squeeze her ou ltogethor, Rosebery’s long postponed it to ’Lv‘rlln, nominally to see Oount Her- bert Bismarck, but really to confer with the chancellor, may_possibly produce a better nn derstanding, Rossbery left London on Thursday, REVIEW OF THE WEBEK, INOIDENTS OF LIFR IN THE OLD WORLD, Loxnox, May 23,— A majority of the mern- bera of the cabinet have already loft the city to spend the whitsuntido holidays, This fact is generally nocepted as a pretty good indicar tion that whatever dissensions exist in the oabinet, they have by no means brought about any actusl crisis, Of course there are persons, and well-informed persons, too, who assert that the cabinet really on the vergaof a split. It is rumored in some quarters that Sir Charles Dilke, president of tho local gov- ernment boaxd, tenZered his resignation be- fore he departed yesterday for Dublin, Many deciaro that Sir Charles is mainly responsibla for the dissensions in the cabinet, He has caused trouble, they say, by his persistent efforts to force the government to adopta radical policy. The Dispatch, which is un doubtedly the organ of Sir Charles Dilke, is urging the radicala to combine and assort themselves, It says if they do they will have the best chance of eecuring control of the next parliament. Iven if they do not secure a majority they can, the Dispatch ar. gues, so increase their power as to secure a leader more radical than (iladstone or the radicals could hope ever to see, even if he were twenty years younger, THE POLITICAL SITUATION, A good general eurvey of the politieal sitn ation would perhaps show that no man_ in England mall.od, ‘more thoroughly than Mr, Gladstone,that there were in the preseut state of British affairs a'l the elements for a polit- iral crisis, and that he himself was strongly in favor of making every reasonable concession in order to hold the liberal party, with all its deverse factions, together as a solid body to prevent a return of the conservotives to power, DILKE'S TRIP POLITICAL, A shrewd observer can perhaps discern in even the visit of Dilke to Ireland, the cunning hand of Gladstone. Sir Charlss gees to Dub- lin to attend meettngs of a comm housing the poor of the Irish cait be o gusst at tha viceroy's residence, Dublin castle, Tord Spencer is far from being a rad- 1cal. He believes in a thorough renewing of the Irish crimes act, which Sir Charles op- poses, Inthe many conferences which these two gentlemen must have, it is more than pos- sible that the strong personality of the Earl of Spencer will eeriously affect the impressionable Sir Charles and thathe will return to England after the holidays more tenctable in his rela- tions to the prime minister. If he dees, then the public may look for a good compromise renewal bill which will give offense to no one and whose harmless life will be limited to about one year. GLADSTONE'S CUNNING TOWARD IRELAND., Mr. Gladstone has this way of doing things and it may be that he has cast his lines suc. cessfully for thus getting entirely rid of coer- sion in Ireland. If this surmise prove correct the government will, before recess, announce the lines on which they will proceed next year with the bill for local, self-government in Ireland. The moderste liberals are certain to follow Gladstone, and will consent to make almost any sacrifice rather than cause a split in the liberal party. A serious division in this party would mora likely result in putting the tories into power. The return of the lords to power during election would almost undoubtedly be followed with a war with Russia, Lord Raudolph Churchill, aspirant for the leadership in the hcuse of commons hae already attempted to induce Lord Salis- bury, leader of the tory peers, to join forces with him in opposing” the renewal of the Irch crimes act. Lord Salisbury refused. Young Churchill, nothing daunted, has ar- ranged on his own account to * organize a tory opposition, He will fight hard and effectively if the government do not steal away his mundby withholding tho remewal of the ill, It is difficult in view of all this to withhold admiration from Parnell for the educational effect of his long parliamentary agitation, The Freemans Journal of ~Dublin, com- menting today upon the ' situa- tion says the retirement of either Dilke or Chamberlain from the cabinet would bo a far more dieastrons blow to tho govern meut than any such occurrance as the- rasig nation of the Earl of Spencer, who is credited with a threat to resign the lord lieutenancy to Ireland unless the Irish crimes act enhall be renewed, The resignation of either of the two gentlemen, the Journal thinks, would cripple the government hopelessly during the reat of the parliamentary session, and go far to prejudice their chances for siccess in the general elections, BISMARCK'S HAND APPEARS The report is reiterated that Prince Bis. marck initiated the pressure which induced the Khodive to refund the five por cent on the Egyptian bonde, The reason that actuated the chancellor, is said to have becn a desire to seo Fingland assume & protectoral over Egypt with a reinstatement of Temael Pasha as ruler, Tsmael is acknowlodged by nearly every statesman in Europe to be the only ‘man en- tirely capable of effactively dealing with the Egyptian government. In return for Bis. marck’s support of this policy it is said Fog- land is to support Germany's colonization in Africa and elsewhere. 1t would not be surprising if the present special conferenco now going on at Berlin between T.ord Rose- berry, the lord privy seal cf England, and Prnce Bismarck, who returned from Schoen. bauken spocially to meet Lord Koseberry, have been arranged for the purpose of adjust- ing the terms of the new Avglo-German policy, an ensuing INDIA'S RAILWAY POLICY, The Indian government proposee, with the Loan of £60,000,000 sanctioned by parliament, to rapidly strevethen the railway system of India, in both a commercisl and an ilitary sense, There will bo expended $1,500,(00 in the construction of a railway west of the TIndus; $10,000,000 will be laid out in building another railway on the east +ide of the Indus, includiog a ferry across that river; 82,000,000 will be used in building a bridge; 81,000,000 in the construction of another road on the weat side of the Indus and in crossing the Pisseen plate; and $1,000,000 in still another lino west of the Indus, INJURE AMERICA'S WHEAT TRADE' al reports concerning India wheat crop prospects indicate that it the prasent antici pations be realized there will be & smaller crop and demand for American wheat this fall than last year. THE BURIAL OF VIOTOR HUGO, Victor Hugo wished his body to b3 burled beside his wife and dnukhhry in the httle grave yard of the parish church of Ville Quier, on the right bank of the river Seine, half way between Rouen and Havre, This wish wiil ba carried out unless the govern: ment of France, to which Hugo left the en- tire control of the question u!%h burial, ¢hall decide to bave the poet’s remains interred in the Pantheon, In the chamber of deputies this afternoon Floquet delivered an_eloguent eulogy upon Hugo, MM, Brisson, the ¥rench prime wivister, proposed a grant by the state of 4,000 france to defray the ordinary expenses of the funeral. The proposal was at once adonted by the deputies —yeas, 415; nays, 8 Laforge moved that the Pantheon be secu larized in order that Hugo might be buried there, Urgency was voted for this motion by a ballot of 220 to 114, The minister of the interior asked the deputies to postpore the vote on the previous question until the next sitting of the chumber, The minister's motion was referred to » committee and the chamber adjourved uutil Tueaday as & mark of respect to the dead poet, The senate sub- toquently approved the vote of 4,000 fraucs for the funeral expenses, Tho funeral of Hugo will occur next Friday. DIVOROE OF CHURCH AND STATE, From Vienna comes the intelligence that the Austrian government is drafting a bill for the state’s resignation of the anglican church, which, hitherto, has been the only church tole- rated in Austria, EXPULSION OF THE VOLIS, Private letters from Posen and_Silesia de scribe the present expulsion by Germany, at Russin's request, of Russian Poles from their provinces, as beingattended by most cruel aod Senrtrending incldents. Many of the Poles, whe are now being driven out, have been eet- tlers In German territory for many years, and thoroughly s entificd themslves with_ local interests, The 1208t of them went to Posen and Silesia to escape from Intolera! le despot: ism at home, The dectéos oy expulsion issued by Von Puttkamer, the German ministe of the interior, affects about thirty thousand Poles resident in Germany. Eight thousand theso have already been ar- without ~ warning = and con- to the German frontier by Russian troops, The remainder of the £0,000 ordered out of empire, consist of those who had obtained permita of settlement. The de- crea of expulsion givau them a short respi in order to allow them time to sottle up thei affairs, dispose of their property and other- wise propare for extradition. Whole villages have already been depopulated and their roftgoon tured over to the Kassian authori- ties at the German frontior. Numbers of poor Polen are fleating into Austria to_ otcape the enforced return to the land of their birth, The news of all this cruelty has cast a chill of dispair throughont Russian-Poland, It is all interproted by the Vienesse as a fresh evi- dence of the binding nature of tho present connection between GGermany and Russia and of their united policy to entirely supprees the Polish nationality, GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS, THE GRAIN SITUATION. LoxpoN, May 24,—The Mark Lane Ex- press says: The cold weather DLrines the season dangerously late for the crops which are already backward. The quantity of cold rain which has falled is unfavorable for wheat crops, the color of which is getting worse daily, Should the weatber change 1t is still doubtful whether the wheat would regain what it haa lost during the month, Foreign wheat is slightiy more active, Trade was confined to ono sale. There were six arrivals, eight cargoes wers overdrawn and_six re- mained including three of Cala and cne o Oregon. A COMMUNIST ANNIVERSARY RIOT, Panis, May 24.—To-day being the anni- versary of the fall pf commune the com- muniste of Paris attempted to hold a demon- stration at the tombs; their comrades in Pese 1a Chiere cemetery. The police interfered and presented a display of emblems, A serious conflict entued in “which several men were wounded. The police finally dispersed ths riotes, Thirty of whom were arrested, At a later hour the communists reassembled and the police ordered them to aurrender their red flag, They refused and fighting ensued. The police drew swords and drove the rabble against & heap of stones, The rioiers used the stoues and one of the policemen was knocked senseless and another’s jaw was_ broken, Tho repul guards, wih fixed bayo: nyfs, charged the mob, wounding sev-* eral in the foremost ranks, one fatally Several veporters were arrestod, but after- warda released. One anarchist received five sabre cuts and others were fearfully gashed. Tha police were urusually severe, showing no uarter. Tne ecene resembled an outbresk of the revolution. The shopsin_the vicinity of the riot were hurriedly closed, and ths ut- most excitement = prevaijed until a late hour, Numbers of communists gathered at various places to-night vowing vengeanca on the police and government. It is eaid at alate hour that five prisoners were killed and eighty weunded during the rioting this afternoon, HUGO'S REMAINS IN STATE, Pamis, May 24, —The remains of Victor Hugo were conveyed to the Arc de Triomphe to-day and laid in state on the catifalque.

Dod, who followed up the Indiane, believes that he has been killed, Five miles further on, at» German ranchs, the owner was found murdered and mutilated. At Montgomery’s and Welche'a the Indians had destroyed everything, As 1t was dark, Dod did not look for ths bodies but hastoned on to the rancho at Alma. His_horse shied often alung the road of the trail, on_which there were & number of doad horses, _Ho be- lieves there were men _also, The Indians crossed the San Francisco river five miles north of Alma un Friday. Tho settlers wera not notified uf the outbreak and many were uadoubtedly killed. Dod states that Creach and MoGurson started back Wedneeday for Simpaon ranche, where no news has yet bern received. Although the Indians passed the San Franciaco river on the 19th, no troops had struck the river up to the 20th, e Farmers Fight Unto Death, Nwark, W. Va., May 24, —Yesterday a deadly fight botween J. P, Buffington and Augu:t Killain, farmers, The battle between the two men is described as being one of the bloodiest personal enconnters ever heard of in this state, and omly terminated derpite the ‘fact that three or four men intereferod when Killain had been stabbod times, bis hoad and face terribly beaten and other’ wounds inflicted, while Bufiington had four ribs broken, his skull fractured, and a doz¢n minor euts and bruises on bis face, Both men are dylog, The trouble occasloned by a cow belonging to Buffiugton breaking down Killuin’s garden fence, Buffington at- tacked Killain first with o sharp knife and the latter defended himself with stones and a club, P ——— Stage Coach Robbed, BAN Fraxcisco, Cal,, May 24,—News has just reached here that the Yosemite stage which left Madora Friday morning, was robbed by highwayizen near Clark’s station, The pass-ngers comprised several members of Raymond's excursion.

A Red Lotter Day Proposed by an Unexposed Authority, Higgins, Manning, and Hunger, the Three Great Elements cf ‘Washington Kife, AMONG THE HUNGRY, FORMING THE RANKS ANEW. Speclal Telogram to The Brk. ‘WasHisaToN, May 24.—1If the expectations of the average democrat are realized the first day of June will take rank hereafter as the brightest red lotter day in the democratic callendar. ‘Before 1t glory that of the eighth of January will pale, The multudinous office seeker who throng the hotel corridors has ad- justed his finances with all requisit economy to allow his remaining at the capital until the fatal day is renched, There i universal expectation that upon day the presidential guillotine will work with a neatness and dispatch hitherto unparallelled, and that the decapita- tions and appointments will be announced 1n such numbers that it will be difficult to keep count of them, Very hubgry and very thirsty gentleman whom George William Cur- tis and other eminent independents have helped to the fruition of their desires have had intimations, of whose authority they ap- pear to have no doubt, that their appetite is about to be appeased. s that have been chilled by long waiting without, fesl gratifying, They teel the warmth in the assurance - that they will be taken in_by the fire, Avpointment Clerk Higgins has proved a jewel for the spoils men, but it is possiblo that ha may/ carryghis zeal too far. Ho has had great success 1o finding wounded soldiers with good records and discharging thom as offensive partisans, Manning has ordered the removal of four men of this character this week from various positions in the treasury depsrtments. One of them had but one arm, allof them had good records as soldiers or as clerks, or as other employes. One was acolored watchman, the other a uhion eoldier, Maj. 8. W. Saxton. During the war Maj, Saxton was avery offen- sive partisan, particularly in the operations 1 South Carolina, But in the sixteen years he has served the treasury department he has borne the reputation of an efficient and faith- ful official. But he is the only chief of divis- ion in his bureau who ved 1n the war, and that is reason enough, and so far &s known, the only reason for his proposed ramoval. Higgins has not been altogether suczees- ful in the removal of union soldiers and appointing democrats. Manning, in each instance when protests weie made to him, eaid that he knew mnoth- ing §about it although, of course, he approved removals, Higgins was to be the victim, Manning is said to be alarmed at the fact that he is arousing so much ‘soldier opposition and has indicated that there are democratic soldiers who ought to have the places now held by republican soldiers, That there are demccratic soldiers worthy of apvointment is not questioned. That such soldiers will get fair treatment under this administration is a conclusion not warranted by the appointments alroady made. Thus far the proportion of ex-union soldiers appointed to office to ex-confederates isas1to8., OI soldiers who rose to distinc- tion in the union army mot one has been thought worthy of ofticeby this democratic administration. Two brave men have re- ceived appointments, one to & cabinet port- folio, the other to o department position. Besides there have been appointed probably a few union soldiers, but they are 8o unknown and the offices they were given are eo ob- scure, that they have escaped general notice. On the other hand, the administra tion has been lavish with its honors toward confederate generals, colonels, and captains, and a host oFloml offices not mentioned in the Jist haye beeu given to ex-rebel soldiers in the south, The president has made a proclamation of the fact that in progresa of retrenchment and reform, he has discharged Arthur’s French cook, and that hereafter the president's meals will be cooked by a native of Ireland. The dismissal of the French cook during the sum- mer season 18 not an innovation, Ky President Arthur did not retain the services of this diatinguished artist in the summer be- sides the sa'ary of the French cook is paid by the presidents themselves, although the gov ernment pays the salary of a steward, The stoward also has been given a leave of absence until fall, and Miss Cleveland, who has arrived, will preside over the president’s household, both at the white house and at the soldier’s home cottage, to whicti he will re- move in about two weeks, It is estimated that the whito house establishment is to be conducted next season on a much simpler plan than it was under the last administra- tion and that the French cook will, like the one armed union soldier who was discharged from the treasury yesterday, find that his services are permanently dispensed with, fall when the season for official dinners begin the president will appoint a new, thoroughly = democratic mugwump steward in the place of the official who has so long presided over the domestic arrangements of the white house, Miss Oleveland has returned and does not expect to love the city again for the present, although there can be little doubt that the extreme heat which is just now begioning will drive both the president and his sister away, Miss Oloveland’s return should set to rest the senseless parcgeaphs in regard to the agreement between hersclf and the pres- ideet. During her brief career she has gaiced the regard of all visitors by her intelligence, happy tact, and refined womanly bearing. HAWKEYE SPOILS, OONGRESSMAN FREDERICKS ON THE PROBABLE DISTRIBUTION, Onicaco, IlL, May 24.~The Inter Ocean prints the following this morning: Congress man Benjamin Fredericks, of the fifth dis- trict of Tows, was at tHe government building yesterday, calling on Postoffice Inspector Stu- art, Superintendent White, of the railway mail eervics, and other officials who come from his district. Mr, Fredericks is a demo- crat and warm admirer of President Clove- land, who, he thinks, intends to do right, though he is sometimes wrongly advised by persons having personal motives rather than the interest of either the country or the party, Speaking of Williams, recently appointed marshs] of the southern district of Towa, Mr. Fredericks aays *'Willisms is not yet in receipt of his commission, and, in his judgment, the appointment will be revoked and Campbell appointed to the place, Des- mond, of Clinton, will be appointed marshal for the morthern district, and Murphy, ef Sioux City, will be distsict attorney,” Asto the possibility of a change in the Eennl.\ superintendency of tho mail service, o thinl that ° there is little chance of it at present unless the democrats have & good man to put in the place of the present occupant, To fill the place & man would be required to have worked in the service and become acquainted with it. Fredericks further believes than Postmaster- general Vilas designs to be very careful in the matter of appowtments, ‘Unless,’ said Frederick, “Campbell receives the marshal- ship, the party in Lowa will b seriously split up and it would be difficult to tall just where the trouble would end.” v Cu10a60, IUl,, May £4. ~The Times’ Wash ington special ‘save: “One Iowa delezation has just evacuated the capitel and another ie sonounced to arriva in & few days. Con gressman Hall weat home day before yester qh\{. Oongressmen Frodericks and Weaver followed yesterday and Mr, M. M. Ham started home to-night. Mr, Ham, however, has not been trainiog very closely with the congressional delegation, and whera the slate of the state central committee, just made out, differs from that of the congretsmen, he is inclined to think the former will prevail. H finds it more probable that Mr. Willinma will be retired and Mr, Camubell aspointed Mar- shal of the southern district than he supposed before coming here. Mr. Willinms 18 as much of astranger toMr, Ham as he is to neatly all Iowa democrats who have taken part in politics aud the faot that the atate central committee concurs with the congressmen in rocommend- ing Campbell's appointment adds much strength to his position, Mesera, Webber and Thompson, who were recommended for col- Iectors of internal revenue by the congress- men, have already been appointed, The con- gressmen did not recommend any one for collector in the district of Mr, Ham, and Mesers, Murphy, Weaver and Fredericks agreed that Mr, Ham should name the man. The state centarl committee has recommended a Mr, Hunter for that place and it is under- stood that Mr, Ham has another preference. The state central committee and congressmen agroe in recommending Judge Kinne for_pension sgent, snd {he ~Hon. D). 0. Finch for district attorney of the southern district. The two states disagree in regard to marshal and district attorney for the northern district, the congressmen recom- mending a brother of Cougressman BMurphy and Sheriff Desmond; the state central com- ‘mittoe recommending Selle, secretary of the committee, and Mr, Bowman, The oritics of the congressmen call attention to the fact that they represent only four outof eleven di tricts, and that all of the persons they recom- mended for appointment are residents of these four districts except T. Murphy, brother of ono of the congressmen and Mr. Finoh. This suggestod that democrats who liv 1n republican districts are entstled to a little wore patronage than the congressmen are di posed to give chem, i 4 The business of preparing slates is some- thing the congressmen are not solely respon- sible for, In March the president expressed a wish to have the congressmen of each state agreo upon a et of appointment, but he has laterly expressed ais distrust of *' organized indorsements,” He has found that congres men from a state bave in some cases got to- gether and swapped off their in- dorsements of ench other's friends without sny persoanl indorsement on their own part, and this sort of unanimity was not what he wanted. In the case of the disputed Towa appointment and ot all other appointments he is anxions to appoint persons approved of by the congressmen and of infla ential democrats in politica, but ke is more anxious to sppointunexceptionable men, and he is trying to get men who are vouched for by persons whom he knows aud In whose wards he knows just how much faith to put. Commissioner Coleman being anxious to obe tain all the facts possible pertaining to the dairy industry of tha country,and particularly reporting the manufacture of articles dsigned pure butter, butterine, ouine, parola, and the like compounds, has prepared a circular to manufactures of dairy products, It s his wish to place before congress and the country a complete statement of the factory product of cheeso and butter as well as nf their adul- terated impitatiors, and he suaests the pro- priety of making monthly records of the work of each monufacturer in order that returns ma be obtained more readily for each time as may be deemed best to aggregate theresult. October, he says, being the month when cheese making. declines, it may be decided to haveall returns of the butter and cheese production terminate then, allowins s1x months for the dairy sea- son. This would better determine the com- parative production of one state with another, as in the summer months the conditions of food will be more uniform, the cows con- suming alike the natural grass. : The president made the following appoint- ments yesterday: Senator Edward G, Koss, of New Mexico, to be governor of the territory of New Mexico; Maris Taylor, of Dakcta, to be surveyor general of Dakota; Mark W, Sheaf, reglster of the land_office at Water- town, Dakota Territory; Downer Brandier, receiver of public moneys at Watertown, 1. ex-Senator Tipton, of N to be receiver of the public money? at Bloomington, Ne- Draska; Henry Brausteler of Idaho, to be ra- ceiver of public moneys at Boise Uity, Idaho A. 0.

Both were severely cross- questioned. Beardy protested ho had always Daen loyal and wished to keep his tribe the game, but & number of his young men took part 1n the Duck Lake and Entoche fights against his wili, When asked why he had not notified the f)uhce that the rebel force had gathered at Duck Lake, he eaid he thought he was doing enough when he warned his young men ageinst participation.

The contract for vemoval was given to the Adams evpress com- pany and was executed with the atrictest fidelity under the personal ruperiotendencn of the assistant treasvrer and his officers, The work beean at S o'clock this morning and was comploted at 4 o'clock this sfternoon.

Four or five weeks ago, however, Dabule ceated giving all his atten- tion to Gertie, and was going quite often to see another charming little creature who had captured his “mf' This, of course, worked heavily upon the feelings of Gertie, and at different times she declared that if he per- eisted in going with the other girl there would be serious trouble. Bnt these threats, it appears, had no effect upon the young man, or ut least it they did Gertie could not be led to beliove that way, Saturday night Miss Kader quietly concealed within the folds of her dress a gleaming, wicked-looking dagger, and went to a dance where she knew her lover was. Soveral parties saw thom there, w them dancing together and long after mianight they left the place in each other's company. Since then neither has been soen or heard of—at least not up to a very late hour last night. Some think that she has killed him and hid herself, while others hoid to the theory that thoy have eloped. That, however, is dispelled on the ground that he left all his’ money except £5 with hin sister, The girl, however, might bave had enough to have traveled a long cistance, and at the point of her dagger forced him to go. Anywsy, the matter is mysterious enough to be sensational, and sev- eral parties are deeply anxious to get some clue concerning the couple and what has be come of them, —— Remembering Ihe Heroee, New York, May 24, —Members of a dozen grand army of tho republic posts asststed in tne decoration of Lincoln's statue at Prospect park, Brooklyn, this afternoon, and a thou- sand persons witnessed the exercises.

The cotton goods movement, aud grocery staples, in general show no improvement, There has been another week of excitement in the sugar market. London has taken the initiative, and prices have been advanced there 14 94 per cwt, Tho market hero fails to respond, The price of sugar now at New York is 3@lc below Londod, Asa general thing the price is higher at New York. The prices for rico and coffec have again advanced, Littlo can be said in sup- port of tno upward movement, lixcopting the slight reductivn in receipts, ana the bet- ter showing of warehouse movements, thero is no change in the tea market, In wool the principal marketa ara all qniet, partly because manufacturers, haviog bought liberally somo time ago, are in no pressing need of large supplies; partly because deirable and cheap selections aro very scarce,and becanse there is & natural pisposition among buyers tc wait for something to turn up in conneciion with the new clep. The disposi- tion to manufacture upon saies from samples 18 becoming mors and more marked and the demand for goods is thus brought to bear pretty closely upon the miarkets. There 15 no special change in the situation of the anthricate coal trade. Orders drag along slowly and stocks, at the points of production and shipment, tend to acxumulate, and prices are no better. Some members of the bituminous coal pool centering in Buffalo, are reported to be evading the provisions of the common agreement and 8o causing trouble, The pig iron bar and steel markets present no features of special interest. Prices are nominally unchaoged. The demand is not improved and th :re is no change in the out- look. Copper has lost some of its late advance, e TELEGRAPHERS ORGANIZING.

Mr, Taltavall, editor of the telegraph- ers officis]_newspaper, to-day said in sub stance: * T expect the converticn will bo at- teuded by delegates from every local union in the United States and Cavada. The dele- gates will probably number about 300, We do not wish at present to make known the exact dato and of place of meeting, 1 wiil say, however, that the date will be on or about July 5; the place will be announced later, The uvion is ot a brand new institu- tion., It has been in existence about one year. As I understand it, the principal object of the forthcoming comvention will bo to cement to- gether moro firmly the eubordinate uions, and therefore to more effectually sustain the riehts of telegrapbers all over the land,” It was fusther stated to-day that dissatis faction existed in many of the fmall citics and towns through the United States and Canada in regard to the wages received by operators and the number of hours which men were required to work, One of the probable recults of the convention, it was thought, would be a general demand for higher wages and thorter day’s work, Other concessions may also be demended by the union, o Mitchell and Cleary Mcet, Sa¥ Francisco, May 28.—Six thousand assembled last night in in the pavillion to wit- ness the glove contest beiween Charles Mitchell, the English champion, and ; Mike Cleary, the middle-weight champion of America, the winner to receive 75 per cent of toe gete money, At the end of the fourth ound the police interfered.
