Foreign News.

NEW York, November ia London
special says that after the cabinet eeun-
ell Sunday a telegram vas sent advising
the Prince of Wales to return. The real
reason assigned by a correspondent for
the action Of the cabinet is the uasatis-
factory attitude Of native princes. Not
a single reception has been profered by
any one Of these in the Madras and Ben
gal presidencies. All entertainments
thus far given have been given by the
English. There is no concealing the fact
that the native princes view the visit un,
favorably.
Another London special states that
the telegraph says 10000 sterling has
been placed by a gentleman at the dis
posal of the Church Missionary Society,
in answer to Metasas' appeal through
W. NJ. Stanley for Christianization in
Africa.
Still another London special an
nouuces a disaster on the railway be-
tween Stockholm and Malino, whereby
sixteen cars we're completely smashed
and sixty passengers killed and seventy
injured. The last, however, may relate
to the previously reported railroad acci-
dent in Sweden.
A Copenhagen special announces the
serious illness of the Grown Prince Of
Denmark, caused by fall OF his horse.

Candidntes-The Result in favOl
of Captain A. n. Lacey.
It has been conceded for some time
that there is no probability Of a Demo
cratic convention to nominate q candi
date for Mayor. No move mas been
made in that direction, nor is Que likely
to be made. All propositions looking
to a convention have been met by the
puerile objection thatit would be packed
in the interest Of a Radical candidate
and all that sort of silly stuff, as if the
people could not be trusted. The various
Conservative aud Democratic candidates
being convinced that there would be no
convention, aud knowing hat it would
be folly for all of them to run against
one Republican. consented to an arbi.
tration Of their friends, who we're en-
powered to decide who should run.
The meeting took place in the Irving
block yesterday Each known candidate
was represented by three friends of his
own appointment, as follows:
w. l.. Vance, W. A. Bickford and
Judge Anderson for Minor Meriwether.
John Dent, W. ]. Chase and Mr..
Linkhauer for Ex.Mayor Johnson.
Colonel Robert L. LOoney, Nick NAL
atesta and DR., A. X. Taylor for John
Roush.
W, H. Carroll, John W. Cochran and
]. I. Hillsman for Judge Flippin.
4. j. White, R. Hutchinson aud
Charles A. Beehn for S. B. Robbins.
Simon W. Green, Gus MORT and Mike
Waldran for NJ. Burke.
N. Hill, Enoch Ensley and John Over
ton for A. T. Lacey.
james Lee, George Dixon and Mr..
Loudon for DR.. Hewitt.
The meeting was organized by calling
Mr.. Biekford to the chair, and the ap-
pointment of W. II. Carroll secretary.
1t was stated. in behalf of the candi-
dates, that they each and severally would
abide by the action of the meeting and
support the nominee.
A resolution was offered by Major NJ.
Waldran p~ledging the delegates to sup
port the nominee. Adopted.
On the first ballot each candidate re-
ceived three votes, but after the third or
fourth ballot Mr.. Lacey, Ex-Mayor John
johnson and Judge Flippin appeared in
the lead. AT one time Judge Flippin re-
ceived ten votes.
On the eighth ballot Mr.. Lacey re.
ceived fourteen votes and was declared
the choice of the meeting.
On motion OF Mr.. London it was made
unanimous.
Mr.. LoudOn presented a resolution au-
thorizing the chair to appoint a citizens
committee, consisting Of one from each
ward, to call a mass meeting for the pur-
pose Of ratifying the action Of the meet
ing.
A committee was appointed to notify
Mr.. Lacey of his nomination; after
which the meeting adjourned.

Draw Poker.

Editor Rutland Gloje Some of your
old-fashioned readers wonder greatly that
Gen. Schenck is not sufficiently acute to
perceive that his explanation" is entirely
aside from the point at question. We care
nothing about the social customs of Eng
land we care even less about who pub
lished the treatise which our minister to
England has composed, setting forth the
intricate laws of the game of ''Draw."
We know that in this country poker is
purely and solely gamblers game. 1t is
adapted for gambling and nothing else, and
used for gambling and nothing else, with
stakes always substantial often high.
And our minister to England has gone
there with sufficient knowledge of this
game to be able to write out, at a moments
notice, a terse.and lucid, and, probably, com
prehensive code of its laws, using the Ian
guage of one having great practical expe-
rience, such as he could have gained only
at the gamblers table, and employing his
authoritative knowledge without shame for
the instruction of his English friends in
its dangerous mysteries.
For reasons which Gen. Schencll might
"explicitly understand" he should ''step
down and out" So think, his card not
