PRODUCED A GOOD EKFECT, French Ministerial Declaration on the Subjeot of Revision, CHURCH AND STATE SEPARATION The Moderate Republicans Pleased With the Determination of Tirard Not to Deal With frri- tating Questions. Made a Good Lmpression. £ (Copuright 1569 by James Gordon Bennatt,) Panmis, Nov. 2L—[{New York Horald Cable—Special to Tk Bee.[—The minis- terial declaration, and more especially the debate and vote on the subject of revision, which took place n the chamber on Wednes- day, have produced a good impression, Al- though the ministerial declaration is of the vaguest sort and passes over 1n silence many important matters, the moderate re- publicans are satisfied with Tirard and his colleagues in the cabinet for having expressed @ determination 10 have nothing to do with irritating ques- tions, by which is undoubtedly meant the separation of church and state. The check which met the proposal for a revision of the constitution preseated by Monjau is most significant, and all the more so from the fact that such prominent radicals as Clomenceau, Barade and Lockroy voted against it. Chis proved that the extreme left real- izes the necessity of not showing itself too exacting. It would, however, be a mistake 10 connt too mucn on the political wisdom of the radicals. . It is only necessary to glance at the organs of that party to be satistied that they are ready to disarm. The createst concession they express themselves willing to make Is to agrea to a truce, and it is greatly to be feared that this will not he of long duration. Camille, in Justice, gives notice that he and his friends have only provisionally laid aside their projects of revision and will take them up again 1f the senate continues its policy of opposing the reforms proposed by the radical party, s Thero is every indication that the opvor- tunists and the radicals wiil ero long have a fall ont, especially if the former persist in followng the moderate line of policy. Oue of the points worthy of being noted in connection with the vote of Wednesday is the way the right acted on the question before the chamber. Only fifty of the monarchists voted for Monjau’s proposition, while half of that number were against it. As many as ninoty abstained entirely from placing their votes on record. This, it seems to us, is a symptom from which the tonclusion may be fairly drawn that o strong current of opinion exigts in the ranks of the right in favor of forming 4 conservative party which does not base its opposition to the majority upon a project to overthrow the republic. The idea of forming such a party has made great Progress within the last few days and many monarchists have expressed themselves as realy to give their adhesion to the pro- gramme recently proposed. This movement of the right towards an acceptance of the rapublic would no doubt pe comblete were the ‘ omte De Paris ovly willing to allow full liberty of action to uis partisans. In well informed circles it is said that the Comte De Paris has as yet expressed no ovinion on the subject, but that the recent elections have convinced him of the useless- ness of any attempt under the present circumstances at monarchial restoration, and that while determined to mamtain his claims to the throne he is ready to allow his fellowers to make their peace with the re- public, a consummation much to be desired, “ and one which will certainly have a prepon- derating beneficial influence on the future welfare of France. e NOW IT WILL COME OUT. ~ A Legal Inquiry to Instituted into the London Scaudal, [Copyright 1559 by James Gordon Bennstt.] Loxvox, Nov, 21.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tie Ber.]—A correspond- ent of the Birmingham Post asserts that be- fore the luncheon hour on the day which the prince of Wales arrived from Berlin it be- came known that he Lad determined to have what is now frankly called the scandal of Cavendish street completely investigated, and if found necessary publicly exposed. It was in consequence of this resolution that after baving received thatafternoon at Marl- borough House a visit from the duke of Cambridge, the prince subsequently the same day went to Gloucester House to ¢ have another interview with the commauder- {n-chief, for well kunown men yboth at court. and in thg army are alleged to be involved. ‘What would have followed from this prompt action on the part of the prince of Wales can bardly naw be guessed, for the aunounce- went made today that the criminal proceed- ings for libe! against a suburban newspaper will be taken, will precipitate u legal inquiry which can not end untilall the uwuth is learned, e A Letter From Stanley, [Copyright 1889 by James Gordon Bennett.)

L Captain Wissman's Roport. (Copuyright 1889 by James Gordon Bennett,) Beruy, Nov. 2L—|New York Herald Cable—Special to Tur Bee. |—Captain Wiss- wan has sent a report to Prince Bismarck, dated from Mpwapwa Ootobor 18, which cons tains furtber yarticulars concerning Mr. Bianley’'s aud Emin Pasha's bhoweward march, The report runs as follows: “In continuation of wy report of Septem- ‘ber 2, 1 beg to state that Kuigo, chief of the Simbabwere, and M. Rogero bave quite de- served the confidence pluced iu them. I sue- oceded, as I have alveady informed you, m defeating the united rebels and aisposing of them. Kuigo has proved him- self to be an open euemy to Bushirk. I have given him the necessary instruction for the fortitication of his large village and have lent him ome of the captured muzzle-loader guns. 1 then pro- ceoded, after assuring myself of the safety of the missionaries, throurh Knigo's terri- tory further up the great road to Mukon- dokwa, which 1 reached on the 5th, Kunigo's subjects have thus far bebaved and I re. coived letters of eafe conduct. Bushiri had stayed for some time at Mukondokwa with somo prominent Arabs who lived there be- attacking the station at Mpwapwa, Arabs haa fled south. [ heard of retreat and intended seizing them, but was urged by the French missionaries who bnd just returned to Farrhane, closo to Mukondokiwa, to abstain from doing so, as they assured me t these Arabs had only been forced by circumstances to receive Bushiri during th absence. They had even saved the mission from being plun- dered. Some of the poorer Arabs who had re- mained faithful to Bushivi had joined the caravan, proceeding by the northern routs to the coast, and will oithor arrive i Saadani or flee to Zanzivar. Kither alternative would assist the clearance of the carayan road liers he natives brought presents and re letters of protection, after being thi ned with war in case they did not protect the missionaries. I opened o lotter from the Engiush — mis- sonaries o Mpwapwa to Lieutenant Giese,which said that two months ago Bush- iri had a visited Mpwapwa, burnt the English on there, and attempted to seize the missionaries, in which attempt, however, ho was not suocessful, as they b fled to an Ugago village called Kisigo, the inhabitants of which protected them. Chip- angillo refusea to hand ver to Bushiri the guns and four Manser rifles which Lieuten- ant Giese had given him. “Itherefore murched as quickly as possi- bloto Mpwapwa, which I reached on the 12th. and found the missionaries all safo, but robbed of noarly everything they possessed. The mission buildings and station of the German East Africa company are com- pletely destroyed, and also all the cultivated tracts, The graves of Herr Nielson and a black soldicr, murdered in the ser- vice of the company, were pointod out to me and 1 had crosses placed there, carved with their names. As an expiation for Niel- son’s death I had threv Arabs hanged on the spot of his murder for spying and for taking partin the murder of Pugu_missionaries Chipangillo, who, as it turned out, had ac- companied me in 1853, was in Mpwapwa on a sliooting expedition, and received me on the first day with presents and promised to b & guns and rifles. Some other Ugago chicfs, howover, accused him to mo of hav- ing been friendly to Bushiri and consc- quently he fled, but we had everything be- longing to s handed over and he will prob- ably return n a few days. “On October 11 four soidiers of Stanley’s and one of Emin Pasha's forces arrived at Mpwapwa. Thoy had left Stanley on Sep- tember 10 in Usukuma, on the | ga river, and arrived in thirty-three days at’ Mpwap- wa, including nine days’ rest, via Rinis to the westward of ‘Turu, over the Uveriveri and northern Ugago. They stated that Emin Pasnha, with Captain Casate and 100 Soudan- eso soldiers, many other followers and much ivory, and Stunley with six Europeans— whosé _ names are Nelson, Jepp- son, Stalrs, Do Harke Bonney and Willisms—and 210 Zavzibarese had broken up s0on after them. According to my reckon- ing they will arrive in Mpwapwa about No- vembor 20. Emin_Pasha and Stanley are suid to have fought several times with the followers of the Mahdi commg from the north, to have repulsed them, and to have caplured the greatstandard of the Mahdi. “Tho greater part of Emin’s soldiers insisted upon being led home, and would not go south, and Emin placed stations under command of two Egyptian ofticers who were willing to remain. Of the rise of the Senussites the people knew nothing, nor had any nows reached them of Khartoum ana Abyssinia. ““Mpwapwa is the most important meeting place for caravan roads in all Easy Africa, The two roads from Bugameyo, the roads from Saadani, from Daressalaam and from Rufidgi to the interior, to Ukerewe, Fa- ganyika and Luababa, meet here. The ter- ritories of Waheho, lying south of Mpwapwa, which penetrate a day’s journey to ti south, and those of Muhenge and Mefiti, afford a more dangerous route than that of the Masai, who live three hours to the north of Mpwapwa and are the only ones friondly to Furopeans, but whose land is for tne groater part of the yonr impassablo an ac- count_of drought. Stanley, who evidently intended gowg to Moembasser, has been forced 1o take this road. ““Che English missionaries in Mpwapwa and Mamboia, ~two days' march from Mpwapwa, who are certainly on_good terms with tho natives, but defense- less against Bushir's attacks, are in need of protection till Bushiri’s fate is determined. In_the case of the removal of such protection, the missionaries would have to be summoned to withdraw. With regard to neighboring tribes, the Masai will never do any harm to the station, whilst the Waheie, n horde of thieves with only a few rifies, with whom Bushiri is perhaps in league, will have to be kept in check, “I have chosen the northern route, which leads over the Mamboia, for my return to the coast. L expect to be in Bagamoyo at the beginning of November.” ‘The Emin Pasha committee received the following telegram from Lamau from Herr Clemens Denhard: “Some letters from Dr. Peters, which were sent off from Kowlkorro about October 5, have arrived here and will reach Berlin by the middle of December. At that time the expedition was going on well.” Another telegram from a fiem having an agent at Zanzibar runs as follows: WAccording to lotest advices from Lamau, Dr, Poters' death is doubiful, In the co lonial papers it is pointed out that if tho dostruction of Peters’ expeaition is true, the massacre probably ook pluce about October 20, 0 that the above mentioned lettars of Dr. Peters cannot be taken as a refutation of these rumors.” B ARMY OF THE POTOMAOC, Formal Organization of a Western Branch of the Society. Cmicaco, Nov. 21.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.] =The formal. organization of a western branch of the Society of the Army of the Potomac was completed at a conference held in this city this afternoon. A large number of yeterans from Tllinois and sur- rounding states were in attendance. Iu this organization it is intended to include all en- listea men and commissioned officers who served in the army and were honorably dis charged, and who' live in the west. This movement has been brought ubout by the faot that the meeting places of the Soclety of the Army of the Potomac are almost in- variably located in the east, and it is held that those of the membership living in the west should be afforded an opportunity of getting together at least once » year, The romoters of the new movement deny that t signifios o !KHV. in the ranks of the old so- clety, but at the same time it is in realty a ivislon of its membership.

HuxmixaroyN, W, Va,, Nov. 21.—Al Brum- fleld and Heart Dinges, cousins of Al Brum- field, who, with his wife, was murdered by Wilt Haley and Peter McCoy in the Hatfleld- McCoy vendetta, arrived at Barvoursville yesterday with warrants for the arrest of several members of the McCoy and Ruoyan families in lalling ol Mr. #nd Mrs. Paris Hatfleld in Lincoln county last week, The warrants were is- sued by Justice of the Peace Tom Brumfield and he says be is goiug to have the men ar- rested If it takes all the Hrumfields and Hat- fields in Lincoln county to capture them. ‘The MeCoys will not give the men up and a new move in the feud will reopen the war and a succession of bloody tragedies may be expected. i Goodloe's Successor Appointed. ‘Washington, Nov, 2i.—The president today appointed Thomas Clay McDowell of Ken- tucky collector of internal revenue for the Seventh district of Kentucky, vice William Cassius Goodloe, d . ‘The appotee is @ son-in-law of Mmm i MAHA DALY BEE. OMAHA., FRIDA A BREAK IN THE REED RANKS Rebelllon in the New York and Pennsylvania Delegations. A BOOM IN HENDERSON STOCK. Montana's Senatorial Deadlock—That Southern Conference—Tanner & Dudley, sion Agents— Land OMee Declsions. WasniNarox | 518 FOURTERNTIL STREET, Wasmxaron, D. C, Nov. 21 Mr. Roed has gone to New York., He will be absent three or four day i to mend the break in his eastern line. Not only bas a New England member dropped out of Reed’s ranks, but it is asserted on £0od authority that efforts to apply the united vote in the New York and Pennsyl- vania delegations have failed, and at least half a aozen members from each state stand out against the Maine candidate and refuso to ve whipped in. Reed stock thus doclines and that of all the western candidates 18 up tonight. Western and southern members aro using with tellmg effect the record of Mr. Reed on river and harbor bills, and the fact thut he is opposed to silver coinage and dodwed on the question of free wool when a vote was receutly taken upon it. Cards are being passea around among the southern and western mombers showing Mr. Reed's record on yiver and harbor bills. During the last twelve sessions of congress, during which twelve river and harbor bilis were be- fore the house, Mr. Reed voted for two of them only. Iv looks tonight as though a wostern man will be speaker of the Iifty- first congress. A HENDERSON BOOM. Colonel Dave Henderson of the Hawkeye state, received & boom today in his speaker- ship campaign and Wis friends are very con- fident tonight. Senator Allison without unauly interforing with the affairs of the CREAU Tie OMARA Bee, } -other house, is domng all he can possibly do to help Colonel Henderson to the spe: The senator was asked thought of the outlook. “1 don’t think anyone has, won yet," he answered, “The people of lowa are for Colonel Henderson und the Towa delegation is for him solidly and firmly. They think o one has any better chance than he has of election. “T'hey expect, himn to be speaker.” “His friends are coming right along now,’ said Representative Conger of lows, who was in the senator's company. *We know that the matter is by no meaus settied yet, and we expect him (o be elected.” In answer to a question conc Towa legislature, the senator said it was safely republican, As to the two members of the legislature whom some dispatches have said might join the democrats to secure the election of a new senator, he said that ho heard no more talk of that lately. Colonel Henderson’s headquarters present quite a lively appearance tais evening. One thing much in bis favor now is the fuct that having been born in a foreign country (Scot- land) he -18 not ebgible to the presidency of the United States and there- fore his eievation at this time would in no- wise interfere with those haviog 1592 boes buzzing in their bonnets. Lx-Governor Gear of Towa, whose rather spare figure was renderod conspicuous by a flannel shirt and a broad rimmed Slouch hat, entertaied a number of hisold friends and acquaintances at Willara's tonight. The Towa statesman is not taktng as active a part in politics these days as he has in the past, but is interested enoush in the speakership contest to come to Waushington Lo put in a good word tor his friend, Henderson. He las just arrived and does not care to ven- ture an opinionon_the situation except to say some of the other candidates wore claim- ing altogether too much. THE MONTANA DEABLOCK. Congressman Carter in o fengthy inter- view In today’s Post on the senatorial out- louk in Montana says : “Iam satistied that the state auditor, whose duty 1t is under the law to call the roll in the house of representatives prior to organization, will recognize as mewbers those persons declared by the state return- in : board to have been elected; hence there- publicans will have a wajority of about six in the house on the first roll call. The sen- ate will be a tie and inasmuch as the consti- tution provides that & quorum shall consist of a majority of the members elected it is possible that the democrats may prevent the organization of the semate by absenung themselves. In that case the deadlock may continuv until the legislature expires by lim- itation at the eni of ninety days, when the governor can appoint ad interim senators,” TANNER & DUDLEY. ! Some surprise was expressed in political circles this evening when the announcement appeared in the Capital that Colonel W, W, Dudley and Corporal Tanner, both ex-com- missioners of pensions, bad tormed @ c partnership in the claim and pension busi- ness and will open an office in Washingion this week. It was believed by many that Corporal Tannor was Lo receive another ap- pointment, but he says he abandoned vhat idea some ' weeks ago and that the partner- ship with Colonel Dudley has been contem- plated for some time. It is stated that Gon- eral Alger has informed Tanner that he is ready to give him whatever financial aid he may require, . LAXND OFFICE DECISIONS, Assistant Secretary Chandler of the inter- ior department today rendered a number of decisions in Nebraska land cases. In the case of Benjamin ¥, Williamson vs William B. Weimer, involving the timber culture entry covering the southeast X of section 16, township 28 north, range 14 west, Niobrara land district, the assiswunt secretary afirms the decision of the commissioner of the gen- eral land offico which holds the entry for cancellation, The claimant charges that tne entryman sold his interest in the entry and the assistant secretary in his decision says: “1t is immaterial whether the papers for the same were_properly executed and ac- knowledged, If the claimant, for avaluable consideration received, sold the claim and his improvewents thereon, no matter how the papers wore made out, his interest in the claim 1s at an end.” The assistant secretary afiirmed the de- cision of the commissioner rejecting the ap- wunlan of Arthur B. Cornish™ to make tim- r culture entry for the wost i of the southwest !{ and the west 3¢ of the north- west ! of section 20 towoship 15 north, range 20 west, North Platte distriot, ‘The commissioners decision holding for cancellation the timber cultare entry of John Stranbouse upon the southwest i of section 11, township 2 north, range 2 west, North Platte aistrict, was likewise afirmed. A rehearing was ordered in the homestead appeal case of Rulif H. Van Hrunt vs ‘An- drew J, Hammon involving the east 1§ of the northwest 1{ of the northwest !4 of the northwest i of section 2, ana the northwest 3{ of the northwest 1 of the northeast i of section 11, township 15 north, range 23 weat, North Platte Astrict, ‘The commissioners refused the application 1o grant a hearing, and appeal was taken to he secretary of the interior. It appears from the record that a hearing was orggud by the local land aftice October 24, 1859, upon the complaint of Van Brunt, on oath charg- ing that Hammon, the entryman, had not complied with the law ia the matter of set- tlemont, residence aud improvewents, and that the entry was made iu the interest of the Brighton Range company and wus there- fore fraudulent. The R‘“cul oftice found n favor of the _contestaut. No ap- peal was taken. Subsequently spplication was mado for a reopening of tho case, new testimony being alleged to be available. A rehearing was refused below, but it is now {nnm\l and the assistant secretary directs bat “'a rohearing be had in the case upon proper notice under the rules botb to the claimant and to his trausfer, and it is di- kership. today what he rning the rected that when such hearing shall have been taken tho ‘commissioner shall adjudi- cate upon the testimony subuwtied thereat." "To this extent the decision'of the commis- sioner is modified. Commissioner Groft hag affirmea the de- clsion of tne land ofeers at Grand [sland in favor of the claimant Henry Van Sickle,who contested the timber culture of Petor Mund on the northeast I{ of sectibn 184, township 14 north, runge 6 west. | THe commissioner says that the grounds alloged Tor contest are insufficient and_deeclates the dofendant's entry intact and dismisses tho contest sub- ject to the plaintift's right of appeal. The commissioner A8 teversed the de- oision of the local ofcers at Bloomington and dismissed the contest of William M. Strickland vs George 8. Williamson, which involved the south 3 of the northwest i{ and the north 1§ of the southwest 1{ of sec- tion 10, township 1 north, range 2) west, It ‘was alleged by the plaintiff in this contest that the entryman had uot planted five acros of trees, seeds or cattings within the time required by law. Comtissioner Groff in his decision again places himself on recora in favor of the honest entryman. e says: “It appears that the claimant exhibited re- markable perseverancd in his endcavors to gota stand of trees, He kept bis ground in good condition and did all the plowing, cul- tivating and planting réquired by the law. The fact that there were no trees growing on the said land at the initiation of this con- test does not seem to be his fault. He may have lacked skill and judgment in tree cul- ture, but it doea not appear from the evi- dence that he lacked good faith or even a liberal compliance with the law, having done all that coula ba reasonably required of him., It would be manifestly un- to cancel his entry at time. His final proof will not be re- ceived until the expiration of eight years from the dato he had planted the whole ten acres in trees, and his entry in the meau- time shouldinot be disturbed ns long as he continues to comply with the law. THE SOUTHERN GONFERENCE. The expected confereice of the southern representatives which was said to have been held was not held, for thhe reason that only four of the scventeen members are here. There has been a great deal of discussion about the purposes of this caucus, it veing generally assumed that the “members would meet to uss the speakership and unite as abody of seventeen votes, so they could make their demunds and name their price, the general understanding being that Mr. Adums of Maryland, - for doorkeeper, was to bo the consideration ; for their support. This, it can be statd upon excellent autiority, 18 erroneous. . The meeting of the southern congressmen, whenever it 1s held, will not seck to bind the mem- bers to any ono candidate, nor will Mr. Adams' candidacy figure in the meeting to any great extent. There is a general disposition on the part of ail congressmen, so far as they have been heara m, to divide the good offices of the house. There is a general consent and willingness to give Marylund the doorkeepership, as that portion of the patronage: ought to go to the south. Itis thought that on that accouut Pennsylvania’s chances; for the clerkship will be somewnat affected. The real pur- poses of the southern conference will be to discuss tho comiitteoships of the- next house. The southern mewmbers feel that there are a number of matters of vital inter- est to their section on which: there must be legislation this coming session. One of these is, of course, the Blair bill, another the inter- nal revenue taxes on tobacco and brandies, another the question 'of sugar boun- ties, and the conferemce’s purpose is to arrange things among themselves so that they shall be placed in th@e right positions on the committees beforgwhich this matter will come in the coming jon. It is likely that in this connectinaythoy will desire to liear from every spenkeigbin aspirant, but they will enter into no' ath afly can=~ didate, Ttcan be rep understood that the candidate who premises them the most liberal representation on the committees will guin heir votes. T I MISCELLANEOUS. It is believed that the following minor officers of the house willbe elected: Clerk, John Carson of Pennaylvania; sergeant-at— arms, Colonel Swords of Towa, or Captain A. H.

WaAsHINGTON, Nov.2L.—Attorney Genera Miller has received a long report from the United States marshal for the northern dis- trict of Texas regarding the difficulty of administering the federal laws in conse- quence of the feeling of hostility on the part of certain state officisls, The trouble arose from steps takea by the federal officers for the protection of the four Marlowe brothers, held as government witnesses, A portion of the community became exasperated at these men and attemnpted to wreak summary vengeance upon them, As the jail st Gra- ham was not secure, the federal officers started to remove them to a safer pluce, They had not proceeded far when they were attacked by a mob, Two of the Mar- lowes were killed on the first onslaught, when the other two wrested knives from their assailants, amputated the feet of their dead brothers, to whom they were manacled, and fled to a farm house, where they held the mob at bay until assistance ar- rived, Three of the mob were killed and a uumber wounded. Among those who had been indicted for complicity in this attack are two constables, asheriff, a deputy sheriff, the county at- torney and a son of the county judge, The district attorney says thatif the processes of the courts of the state are prostituted to shield from prosecution those who in this manner defy the laws of the United States respect for such process - must cease, The municipal government of the young county not only fails to provide a suitable jail for the use of the United States court, but its officers are in violent antagonism thereto.
