Paul Minn,, in which he said some very ugly things—to the effect that the confederacy would be azain in the ldle if Cleveland should be elected, and many other things of the same character. Though they were conveyed to the president the information did not affect him in the least, and e gave the position to Terry in spite of that. It is reliably reported that the president was of the opinion that General Terry’'s nomination to his original position of by reeneral was made prfor to that of ¢ d, and the former should have been the ranking brigadier gen- eral, notwithstanding the Howard was confirmed f ard takes rank from De General Terry from Jannary 15, 1 Gen- eral Howard's fricnds say they beliove the president will send him in for the next va- cancy, THE PROPOSED SALE OF FORT OMATIA. The bill which Senator Manderson intro- duced yesterday for the proposed sale of Fort Omana by the seeretary or war, has for its object enlarged and improved fa for army quarters. Fort Omaha cover eighty acres, which General Sheridan regards “inadequate for the needs of such an import- ant post. 1t Is proposed to purehase 400 acres on the line of the Union Pacifie within three or four miles of Omaha and ercct thercon permanent buildings that will accommodate atleast two rcgiments of troops. It is be- lieved that the proceeds from the sale ot Fort Omaha will be ample to purchase the new site and leave a surplus for partial improve- ment. Manderson feels confident of a very liberal appropriation for army quarters at the new fort, which is to become one of the lar- gest military posts in the country. THEY MADE A MESS OF IT, Democratie senators now see very plainly that they made a wess of it in assisting Logan to pay his debt to a demoeratic traitor by confirming Dement surveyor general of Utah, and steps will be taken at the first executive session to knock the tellow out. The vote by which he was confirmed will be reconsidered, and only a very few men of cither party will stand by Logan, The latter is trying to convinee his republican friends that it isa fight between himand Morrison, but is making no heady The fact that the contirmation of Dement was a violation of the edict of the caucus and a nullification of the Edmunds resolutions that are being so actively debated in the senate just now did not appear in the discussion last Thursday, and the republican senators will be glad to correct the error they fell into, At th white house it stated that the president would not shed any tears if Dement was rejected.

New Yonrk, March 14,—[Special = Tele- gram.]—It is learned from a very reliable source that the labor question has been forced upon Archbiship Corrigan in the form of a choice between action and non- action against the Knights of Laborasa seeret society. It is a well known fact that all organizations involving an oath of secrec; are under the ban of the Roman Catholi church, Here in the diocese of New York the enforcement of that rule has long been lax, and especially so under Cardinal McCloskey and during the reign of Pope Pius IX. Cardinal McCloskey, as an Ivish- man, was in sympathy with his countrymen, and indisposed to be rigorous with them as to their membership in- secret socicties. The present Pope Leo has a firmer policy in an- tagonism to secret societies. The under- standing in high Catholic cireles nere is that in refusing to give New York the successor to McClosky i the cardinalate, and especial- ly mow in deciding to go to Canada for a second cardinal in Ameriea, he expresses a rebuke for the failure to effectually discountenance seeret orders among lrishmen here, Archbishop Corrigan has received within a month an ofticial letter from Rome. among the contents of which his sccretary adunts was a passage bearing on thi ter. That the injunction to enforce the power of the church to break up the Knights of Labor was imperative is Indicated by the fact that simultaneously the arch- bishop of Quebee issued his denunciation of the Knights, and forbade all Catholics to re- main member ‘This action appears very significent, Someof the attaches of Archbishop Cori- gan’s ofticial establishment go so far as to v he lost a cardinalate through his leniency in this respect. The doings of the Knight of Labor are profoundly secret until they show publicly for themselyes, and it has proved impossible to determine whether the order has received any direet communication from Archbishop Corrigan, but it is certain that individual members very numerously have been spoken to by their pastors on the subject through the confessional, Your correspondent has learned, however, that a member of the order has written to the headquarters of the knights, asking if a disclosure of Knights of Labor seerets to a confessor who bound by holy vows to maintain - confidence inviolate would be construed disregard of his oath, The reply came from Grand Master Powderly and its purport was that the point would probably be settled within ten days. Since then several letters have passed betw Archepiscopal palaceand Philadelph the sunposition is that Powderly archbishop are in correspondence. The out- come of the matter is anxiously awaited by Catholicmembers of the order. Should the church firmly discountenance them it would prove a serious matter, e, P NEWS OF THE STATE.

An Express Oar on the Rock Island Road Robbed by Highwaymen, MESSENGER MURDERED. The Crime Committed Near Joliet-- $10,000 Offered For the Capture of the Ruffians—Particulars of the Terrible Outrage. THE Daring Express Robbery. CiticAGo, March 13.—The express car of the Chicago & Rock Island train which leaves thiscity at 1 0'clock p. m., was boarded by robbers at Joliet at 1 o'clock this morning. Kellogg Nichols, express messenger of the United States Express company was killed, and money and jewelry valued at 855,000 were stolen, Nichols attended to his duties at Joliet, but when the train arrived at Morris, twenty miles beyond Joliet, he did notopen the door of the car. The local agent at Morris forced open the door and found Nichols lying dead on the floor of the ear with his throat cut from ear to ear, and his head horribly cutand crushed. The baggageman was found hound and gagged in the next ear, the safe broken open and the contents gone. As the train does not stop between Joliet and Morris, it is approximately certain that the robbers boarded the cars at the former place, ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Joriet, 1L, March 13.—One of the most daring and bloody express robberies ever perpetrated in 1linois occurred on the Chi- cago, Rock Island & Pacilic west bound ex- press last night between this place and Mor- ris. ‘The facts as learned from the bagezage- n are that shortly after the train which leaves here at 12:45 a.m. had left this he heard a rap at the baggage car door, Thinking it was the express messenger he opened the door, and was met by masked robbers who covered him with revolvers, and demanded the key to the express e The key was given up, and one robber, who was on top of the baggage car, held a revolver on the baggageman through the transom in the roof of the car while his confederates turned their attention to the express car. It is thought that they rapped on the express car door and informed the messenger (Nich- ols) that the bazzageman wanted to get in. At any rate the express car door was opened and the desperadoes entered. Being confronted by the murderous villians iesseuger fought for his life and the prop- in his trust. The interior of the ex- car shows that HE FOUGHT THE ROBBERS fromoneend to the other, but at last the blows that they rained on his head with an iron poker forecd him to succumb and he was left dead in the car. The thieves rifled his pockets of the keys to the safe which they robbed of all its contents, i ated at from ,000 to ‘heck - ages not containing money they left scatter- ed about the floor. Nothing was known of the occurrenc2 until the train reached Mor- the fist stop west of here, except at a coal chute where the train stopped to take on coal. At Morris the local express messenger apped on the express car door, but, as the summons was not answered, it was tnought the train messen- ger was asleep. Upon the door of the car being opened the horrible evide nce of adesperate struggle and the dead body of Messenger Nichols were discovered. In one hand the dead man clutclied a lock of dark colored hair, which must have been torn from the head of one of hi ailants, News was at once telezraphed to this city. Sheriff Reitz and Chief of Police Murray at once organized a posse and rted on a special engine for Morris, stopping on the way at the local chute two miles west ol here to see if they could find whetherthe des- peradoes boarded the train at that point. Snow alling lightly at the time and their ¥, were covered. A large force of oflicers and men from this lace and Morris are now scouring the countr; A BEWARD OF TEN THOUSAND DOLLATS, Ci1cAGo, Mareh 13.—The news of the ro! bery of the baggage car and the murder of the express messenger produced the greatest excitement in the Rock Island offlee in this ty this morning. Division Superintendent Chamberlain wus in receipt of a dozen d patehes detailing particulars of the affair, Of- ficers of theroad held a_consultation and it was agreed to send special detectives on the track of the ruflians at once. The Rock Island road will offer a reward of $10,000 for the capture of the men, Later Details of the Robbery. CHiCAGO, March 14.—Mr. Wygunt, the agent of the United States Express company, states this morning that the loss by yeste day morning’s robbery will be inside of 5,000, There was a little over $20,000 in money and the balance of the stolen matter consisted of packages of jewelry and other things, which e thinks were not valued abovi %00, It is impossible just now to fix the loss exactly, The express company is working jointly with the Rock Island rail- way in endeavoring to cateh the robber and the $10,000 reward is offered jointly by the two companies, Assistant Agent Hammond of the Un States Express company’s office, in thi said inr rd to the murdered man: My, Kellogg Niehols was a brave and trasted ew- ploye of the company.

Gladstone’s Slowness in Revealing His Plans Solidifying His Opponents. FORECAST OF HIS PROGRAMME. The New Parliament Opposed to Excessive Expenditures for Royal Purposes—The Irish Pleased With Aberdeen. Threatened With Secession. LoNDoN, March 14,—[Speeial Cablegram. ] ladstone’s convalescence invests the po- cal situation with fresh interest. Lord Hartington's speech temporarily checked the movement wh liad bezun among the whigs to create secession, but delay in revealing Gladstone’s policy is opening up vistas of danger in ot directions. The public now have explicit statements which have hitherto been the sub of rumors respeeting endeav- nong the radical party to form a code of their own. John Brightis known to have no sympathy with the extreme demands of the Parnellites, but his respect for Gladstone is so great that, like Hartington and Sir Henry Jones, he declines to commit himself to one line of opposition. The radical code, it it comes to anything, will find a leader in Chambe) in whose in- terests it is being worked. The prompters of this movement have met with a rebuff§ from the representatives of labor. Nevertheless the movement is galning adherents by reason of current re- ports of Gladstone’s intentions and by his delay inannouncing his scheme. Itis under- stood that the cabinet will consider Glad- stone’s plan, hence next week should revea the attitude of his doubttul colleagues whose friends are preparing for contingencies by arranging the two lines of secession above indieated. These dangers cannot be un- known to Gladstone, and in g case it may be taken as certain he will proceed with his programme, This, it is expected, will be made known to the country by the an- nouncement of a message from the queen inviting the house in general terms to strengthen the empire by a settlement of the Irish question. The message will be con- sidered according to the usual form, and it is highly probable that Gladstone will follow Pitt’s precedent on the oceasion of establish- ing the union with Ireland in 1799 by moving certain resolutions on which to found futu legislation. This method may postpone leg- islation for the session and give time to mature the more diflicult details of the plan. As to his ultimate method, If he be allowed to proceed. the belief inereases that he will 50 intertwine home rule and expropriation that the con- servative party, to whom the latter may be made the most desirable, will be fixed with the dilemma of cither rejecting the whole scheme or aceepting the more distastetul por- tion, The discussion on supply on Thursday re- vealed the attitude of the new parliament toward the crown in an unpleasant fashion. The defeat of the vote for a royal park was nota surprise. It is an old grievance that the whole of the country should be taxed for the benefit chiefly of London society. The charges for the royal palaces were opposed with other motives. Statements that 100 horses were maintained at Buckingham pa ace and required the attendance of 230 men, thatthe country paid the Duke of Edinburgh’ #as and water bills, and that the produce of Tampton court stud was maintained by the country and found no place in the balance sheet, with other matters emph asized the ir- ritation of the radical and workingmen mem- bers and others against the shabby treatment popularly supposed to have been dealt out to Gladstone by the queen, and accounts for the large majority against the vote, Further, these debates on the royal estimates and the known temper of the mempers, as indieated by conversations in the lobby, foretell changes of a sweeping character, after the next succession, The parks vote may possibly be arranged by a supplementary estimate, but it does not ese that if it be again refused and the parks are transferved to the local authority they will ceaseto be open to the discontented classes, and thus vadicalism will be hoisted with its own petard, Sir Charles Warren’s appointment tothe direction of the metropolitan volice has given satisfaction because of his known qualifications for dealing with men, Afri- can measures are expeeted in the promised refo Pyl 15, large estimates for the navy, which used surprise in some qu been agreed upon by the cabinet in pursuance of the desire on the’ part of Earl Roseberry, the foreign secretary, to carry out the vi en policy marked out by Lord Salis- 'y, and which the fall of the conservative ministry left unfilled. 1l Roseberr; itisunderstood, convineed Mr, Gladstone tl he could strengthen the positions of the liber- alsbeforethe country by abandoning the luke- warm poiicy, which has eharaeterized his pre vious administration of foreign affair !

The truth is, never be- fore were stocks held in so strong hand v will not part with their holdings., T} labor troubles have been a fruitful sourco of discussion among all interests in railrond properties. Apprehensions have been aroused and stocks have been sold short, but profi are in the future. The n et is well held. All efforts to depress priees are promptly re- sisted. The bulls ave clearly looking forward to another successful campaign, and that soon. The returns from internal revenue collections, the fact that a majority of the labor strikes now are for an advance in wages, where two years ago they were against reductions, andother like facts go to support the view that the volume of general business throughout the country is rising. This argument will be made the most of by the bulls. It is conceivable that gencral business may be satisfactory, while railvoad business may be the very reverse. 1t has been seen how big business and low freight rates may go together. Competitive forces are steadily working against big dividends. The Western Union dividend has caused the street fully as much anxicty as the strilke. The uncertainty that surrounded it up to the time it was declared was, more distressing from a_ speculative point of view than the condition of the compan ed by its quarterly statement and a de- fon of a dividend of 11§ per cent in serip. A reduetion within six months from 114 per cent quart ineash tothe same amount in an obi ion of the company, shows among other things how severe are the results of the present telegraphic competition. The stook-inskildemmiiering from the develop- ments of Wednesday, and the belief that it will go lower is general and strong. These Western Union developments have a direct and fnportant bearing on the question of a government telegraph. It s undoubtedly true that Gould had in view of an ultimate result the sale of the Western Union to the government at fancy figures. The disappearance of dividends will go far to block this little game. A pamphlet which he issued a few years ago setting forth the value of Western Union stock as a pe anent investment is rather interesting reading now. The fact is that a g tid ising in all directions against excessi tion to furnish dividends on inflated value As we ure certainly moving toward a gov- ernment telegraph system so al<o are we cer- tain to have before long a system of postal savings bank A strong delegation went to Washington this w to argue in their favor. ‘The savings bank failure at New Brunswick, N.

Jack Dempsey Whips the “Marine” in & Hotly Contested Battle. THE FINEST MILL ON RECORD. A 8 lect Party of New York Sports Witness the Prettiest Light Weight Bout in the Annals of the Prize Ring. Dempsey Defeats La Blanche. NEw Youk, March 14.—W those who witnessed the encounter designate as the greatest middle weight fight on record was fought at 7 o'clock this morning at I Beach, just on the border line between New York and Connecticnt. The contestants were George La Blanche of Boston and Jack Dempsey of New York, The stakes were 4,000 a side and about £2,000 of a purse made up by certain notsle gentlemen of this ity ack Dempsey was the winner, thirteen separate 10unds being bitterly con- tested, and it is declared that a better and more manfully fought battle was never wit- nessed. There were about forty persons present, including twenty-cight members of the New York Racquet elub. The chiet difliculty experienced by the managers of this fight was to hoodwink those who were watching for it. and the toughs who were bent on being present to mar the fairness of the operation. In this they sue- ceaded, In the first place the men were put on board a large propeller, which proceeded far up North river and then took the remain- der of the gu on board and steamed for the battle ground about twenty-five wiles away, which was reached 1 good season, ‘The two prineipals slept fora few hours, and the gentlemen amused themselves as best they could on board the steamer. The ring was pitched properly, and those present stood around it. The two gladiators were stripped and rubbed down before the spectators, and the “Marine,” as La Blanche is called, puton a pair of blue trunks and dark fighting shoes. His stockings, accord- ing to his own custom, were rolled down, leaving his calves bare. Jack Dempsey wore his dark hose and white gait A better looking man than the ‘“‘Marine” it would be hard to tind. e was not quite as tall as Jack Dempsey, but he weighed a few pounds more. e turned the beam at 1455 pounds. Dempsey looked a trifle less bulky and was equally as calm. Dempsey’s weight was L5 pounds, John O'Neil was chosen referee, and two well-dressed swells were the time keepers. One of the best known members of an east- ern_athletic’{elub made the following brief speech to themen: “You will fight accord- ing to the Marquis of Queensbury’s rules, with tight gloves, You will break at the call of the referce, make no noise and o to your cornel When cither of you knocks™ the other down, wait until il referce de- cides whether the fallen man is done up or not.
