RENOH] APPOINIMENT, Special Telegram tw Tov Bea ‘Wasuineron June 7. —The appointment of Capt. H, ¥, Buesher, son'of the Rev. H. W, Beechor, as eollector of customs of the Puget wound distriet, 14 not pleasing, it appear, to the domocrats of the northwest, Judge Kuhn, of Port Townsend, was o dorsed for the ap- pointment by the democrats generally of ‘Washington territory, and also by many lead- ing party men of Ocegon. Kuhn is an old time democrat and has been a leading spiritin the party of the northwest., He i3 a member of the national committee from Washiogton, and has been an indefatigable worker for his party. He was backed by the democrats and Beecaer by the mugwumps., The leading democrats of Washiogton teriitory have said that the appointment of Beecher would demoralize the demoucracy of ths northwest; that Beccher was never anyshing but » republican and does not now profess to be a democrat; tuat to set wside an vld party vet- eran like Kubm for » man who does not even profess to belong to the party would diegust the democrats of Washingtun aud of Oregon, Such representations by the prowinent Wash. ing territory democrats iuduced the leading members of congress of that party to unite in advising the appontment of Kuhn, It was ehargeo by the demucrats, aud they reiterate 1t now, that Beecher bused his cluiws only up- en the servioss his fathor had rendered Cleveland. : There is soms talk of opposition to the re- election. of Senator Edwuuds for the term which will begin with Ma ch, 1887, based on his alleged inditference toward vhy republican national tioket at the Lt presiden.lal elec: tion, Ths legisiature which will elect & suc cessor to Edmuuds will b chusen m Septem ber, 1886, and reporw coms frum Vermont that a m .vewent is on fout to elect & man other than Edwuunds. This movement i« treated lightly vy thefrienis and admirers of the Verwont staiesman who regard him s in- vincible, but thee can be nu duuby of the earnesiness of thoss who are engaged in it, and the fact that such un oppo- sition exists shows that there is decided hostility to Edmunds in consequenos of hia unfrienaiiness toward the nations! repubiican candidates. This fesl- ing aainst Edu .nds is not cononed to Ver- mont and should the opposition in'that state develope auy reas.nsb'e weasure of strergth it would 1¢coive suh encuragement and sup port from the outside as would seiisusly threaten, if not actuslly prev ut, the re-clec- tion of E imuuds, With the expiratim of his pressnt term, which will occur 1 March, 1887, Edmunds will h wve served 1n the eenate twenty-one years Ho entered the senate upon 4n appointment from the goyer or to succeed S.lumon Foote who died in March, 1866, aud was subsequentiy elected by the legislature to serve the remainder of Mr. Fuou's term. Bincs then he has be.n re-eiccted three times, practically with. ut oppositson. Juhn Sher. man 1a the only member of the seuuts who snti-dates Mr. Edwunds, slthough his c.l- league, Mr, Morriil, nad several uther sen- ators had several years servios in the house prior to the appearance of Edmuunds in the senate, In referdng to the upposition to Edmund's re-clectivn, the Star says:” “There is every reason to b:lieve that if Mr. }dmnas had earnesily worked, not for eqcion of Blaine, but for the success of party and iw principles, for which Blaine happened for the time bewug to staud as the representative or symbol. tne result would have been different. Though not sv con- #picuous as Blaine, vhere were hosts of repub- licaus in Vermout and in every - state in the union who were relatively affected just as directly and vitally by the result of the elec- tion as the head of the ticket could be. To them Blaine was only oue fly with themselves onthe great whuel to bo cru hed into the earth in ite cevolutivn or piven a mnew or lenger lease of life. It will not be strange, therefore, if many of tho:e whoee furtunes were so disastcously aff ct-d a8 were Blaine's, should look with udiffer- enco upon Fdwund’s efforts to be re-electsd or work sotively to 8 cure his permanent re- tirement from official position.

Tho acounts were ex- amioed on May 23 and found correct, On Siturday another investigation was made and a shortage in the accouuts of J, F. Aufde- morte, redemption clerk, was discovered. Saturday, Decoration day, was a sort of holi- day. On Monday morning 'Aufdemorte £ iled tc appear at the offica. The case was put in the hands of detectives and the depart- ment at Washivgt m notified. Autdemorte’s flixht was managed skillfully, It 18 supposed by the officers that he lett here for Mexico on the Saturday train and wrrived there Sunday. When, therefore, on Monday thy defsleation was 01scovered Aufdemorte was in the inter - ior of M xico. It was at first_estimated that his defalcation smounted to 810,000, but it | is aheady shown to bs over 860,000 and may be much larger The exact amount of the loss csnnot be determined until all the funds in the vault have been counted mit is foared that Autdemorte extracted money from it. Among his papers wer- several forged certificates of deposit in local banks, wh ch he use t to make good his ac- counts, It seems that he would have made off with a much larger sum had not oue of the banks 1efused to cash o check for £30,000 which he pre ented Friday last, If the hank had reported this the authorities could have prevented Aufdemorte from leaving the city. e ——————— GIRDLING tHE ROOKIES THE BURLINGTON STRIKES OUT FOR SALT LAKE CITY, Special Telegram to The BrE, CH10AGO, Ill., June 7.—The indications are that the Chicago, Burlington & Quinoy rail- road company will soon have an independent line from Chicago to Salt Lake City, Ever since the company’s Jine reached Denver an impreseion has prevailed that the next ob- jective point would be Salt Lake City, but the Burlington folks always denied that they bad any such intention, There Is no ques- tion, Rowever, but that the Burlington is now being pushed from Denver to Grand Junction at a rapid rate.

Sir Peter’s answer to this inter yogatory is awaited with great interest, Tho au horities in the war offics undoubtedly sympathiza with Sir Peter Lumsden, but the members of the cabinet are exasperated over his stinging criticisms of the government's mansgemant of the Arghan dispute, and they demand that ha repudiate them or be pun ished by some sigual mark of the displessure of the governm-nt. Sir Peter Lumsden's friends sy that hemeant every word attrib. uted to him in these interviews, aud that he will ot repudiate o word, He believes, his frionds say, that the government has outraged the country and disgraced the Afghwn boun- dary commission, aud that hoe will abandon his office rather than retract any of his critl~ cisms, THE GORDON MEMORIAR FUND, Manning’s proposal that the fund to General Gordon be expend: od In fouuding & Gordon free state to uciude the Nile country, and to preeerye the upper Nile for the world’s commerce ou the plan of which the Internatiooal African assotiation is founding the Congo free state, finds but little favor among the majority of subscribers to the fand, most of whom oppose the employ-~ ment of the money in anything pertaining to trade, A strong syndicate is beiog formed in London to carry out in a purely commercial ad specplative way the cardinal's scheme, The syvdicate will for a company u.der & charter from the crown, and will soon organ: izo a serles o' publio meetings throughont Eogland to bom the enterprise as a national project, to form & new basfs f r the extension of British commerce and the suppres:ion of the African tlave trade, Among the many distivgui had patrons of the echeme tn its new shape are the Barooess Burdette Coutts and a number of rich philantgropbists, though the number of Hebrews puce and plo 8 greater than that of th christians, REPORTED MURDER OF THE AMEER.
