NEW York, May ga special to
the Times last night from Malone says
over one thousand Fenians are here
now, and several hundred more are ex-
tonight or in the morning, If
the Buffalo police fall to stop their
coming from the West.
General John H. Gleason, of Rich
mond, Virginia, has assumed command
of the forces here, and General Starr
has disappeared, as the Fenians threat
ened to lynch him for his cowardice
this morning.
1t is reported that General Donally
has died, and that two Fenian prison.
ers are to be hung this morning.
ST. LOUIS, May 2s.-Reports are cur
rent that a considerable number Of Fe-
mans left here for the East, but 1t can
not be ascertained that over forty or
fifty have gone sure.
A meeting was held to raise funds,
but the news from the border was not
calculated to make the effort q success.
TORONTO, May 2s.-All quiet during
the night !; only ten Fenians reported
at the camp at Trout river; eight Fee
mans moro killed and twenty wounded
yesterday. All quiet OH the Niagara
| and Detroit frontiers but an ample
force will be kept up to defend all the
borders of the Dominion. Small bands
are wandering near the lines, unable
to return home. The excitement has
almost ceased, and business is rapidly
assuming its former condition. What
is considered rs the last "Finnigan "
raid is regarded IS complete failure.
The latest adviees from the Red
River expedition say everything is go
ing smoothly forward, and Archibald
will soon leave to assume his duties.
ST.. ABRAMS, May 2S-Everything
quiet this forenoon. How the remain
ing Fenians are 10 be got off Is the
question that now troubles the citizens.
The United States Government refuses
to take the matter out Of the hands Of
the civil authorities, and they do not
like to take the responsibility of pay
Ing for their transportation, while the
railroad managers insist on being paid
for returning them. Thus the matter
stands.
General Meade Is inclined to censure
the people here more than they deserve.
He says they have to a great extent
sympathSed with the Fenians, and
knew they were making preparations
to invade Canada by storing arms and
ammunition OH the border. This Is
true but the Government has been
officially apprised Of all this. Marshal
Foster, long before a Fenian was
landed here, Informed the Washington
authorities what might be expected.
District Attorney Fifeld did the same,
yet not one word was received in reply
to their communications, and it was
f~orty-eight hours after the Fenians had
commenced landing at that point, not
~withstanding the Government was
promptly posted concerning their
move, before anything Of an official
nature was received from Washington.
Generals Meade, Mcdowell, Ingalls,,
Hunt and Van Vliet left on the noon
train to-day for Malone, to take a look
ut the situation.
General Meade was quite i~ndispossd
on his arrival last. evening-so much
so that his physicians were called to
prescribe for him. He Is much better
to-day.
General Spear Is still In town.
CHicAao, May 2S.-The news of the
disaster to the Fenians at Malone, yes
terday, seems to have had little effect
OH the Brotherhood here. Men con-
tinue to be enlisted and money raised.
The impression among the outsiders,
however, is that the whole movement
Is about ended.
The Tribune has n special dispatch
from Boston which says it has entirely
reliable information from Malone last
night to the effect that the invasion
from that point is a more complete
and ~disgraceful failure than at st.
Adams. The men were utterly de-
moralized. A revival Of the move
ment, which some officers talk of, is
impossible. The affair Is at an end /;
even the newspaper correspondents are
returning. rREEg!E

special says Secretary Boutwell, is
about submitting to the House bis
views upon the question Of allowing
shares of fines penalties or reeoyeries
to Custom House and Revenue officers.
He takes strong grounds in favor Of
breaking up the system and substitut-
ing that of paying fixed salaries with
out any fees or shares In zines or pen
alties. He submits figures showing
the compensation Of Custom officers Of
a number of points during the last MS
cal year. They have collected ana

San Francisco nearly $4,000. ne
recommends a bill fixing the salary Of
Collectors, In which New York IS put
