AN AMERICAN CLUB IN LONDON.


London correspondence Of the New York
Tribune.
The lOng-talked-Of project for an Anglo
American Club in London seems likely at
last TO be carried out a gentleman who
has successfully organized two existing
clubs has undertaken this as a third. It IS
proposed to make it prOprietary-that is, a
club which imposes reliability on its MEM
bers beyond the amount Of their entrance
fee and annual subscription. The property
and liabilities belong alike to certain per-
sOns-whO may or may not be a company
who are not members, but who under
take to provide a clubhouse and all the
machinery Of club life out Of their own
pockets, reeOuping themselves and securing
a good interest on their outlay from the
entrance fees and subscriptions. Brooks
and Whites and BOOGles-.hFee Of the best
clubs in London were started in this way.
An effort IS making to secure both Ameri-
cans resident in London and Englishmen of
position, especially those interested in Amer
lean affairs. A notion got abroad at first that
the club was 70 be put under Gen. Scnenck's
patronage, or even that e was a scheme Of
his. This led some persons to say they
would have nothing to do with il; but it
seems to have been an entire mistake.
Gen. Schench's sole connection with the
matter consists, am assured, in his having
been applied to by the prOprietOrs, as Mn
ister Of the United States, for a list Of
names, which lie gave. The Minister Of
the United States will, l understand, be err
0ficiO member. Since this mistake was
cleared up some Englishmen, we'll
known in America, have promised
their help-mOng others, Mr.. Thomas
Hughes. 4 circular is shortly to be issued
which win be suitably distributed here
and among the principal clubs in the
United States. The club is to be, in a
sense, international. Members Of such
American clubs as enter into relations with
the London club viii be deemed, under
certain conditions, members of the latter
also. On their arrival here they will be
admitted to all its privileges on payment Of
some short sCriptiOns-mOnthly OF 9TH
er, as may be found most convenient. The
intention is that Americans temporarily
here may at once avail themselves Of the
numerous advantages which a first-class
club can offer them, and which nothing else
can. If they don't happen to belong TO a
club on their own side, they may probably
be introduced here by friends.

NOT UP Is sCHENCK.

a few days since a knot Of Hot Springs
visitors ''put up job on a brother sufferer
of the North. By dint of considerable
persuasion he at last "tOOk a hand" in the
high old game, seven up. As the game
prOgressed-and after the plot had thick
ened-the sins" drew knives and revOlvers,
apparently with the intention Of slaughter
ing Mr.. Susceptible, who at once bOlted the
ranch, jumped the town and slid. Several
days elapsed and the frightened gent could
not be found. Rewards were offered for
information leading to the discovery Of the
runaway, but all without avail. On Sun
day Mt. 5. TUNED up in Little Rock, shoe
less, ragged and without a cent in Lis
pocket. His arrival there was hailed with
joy at the Springs, for the fugitigeis respect
ably connected and a mai Of wealth. By
the influence Of friends he was induced to
return to the Springs, where he was well
received, and no mention made Of the
rough and heartless joke.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 1.-The
President has signed the Civil Rights bill.
Where the Deficiencies Go.
The deficiency bill reported to-day ap-
pfopriates SI,7G0,O00. OF this sum, S3,7T1
is to defray the expenses of Speaker Blaine
in resisting the false Imprisonment suit Of
James B. Stewart, witness in the Credit
MObilier case; $4,000 is conditionally
appropriated for the payment Of post-Ofiee
clerks, etc; 100000 for the adjustment of
the salaries Of pOstmasters under the act of
1874, and the remainder Of the apprOpria-
ton is divided among many other objects.
Presidential Nominations.
The President sent the following nomi-
nations to the Senate: William j. Smith,
Surveyor of Customs, Memphis, Tenn;
Collector Of Customs, John P. Sanborn,
Huron, Mich.
Arkansas not ont Of Danger.
Special 10 the Cincinnati Enquirer.
1t was believed, a few days ago, that a
decided majority Of the House would sus-
tain the resolution Of Judge Poland, con-
demning any interference with the State
government of Arkansas, but since then
the ultras have gained strength, and men
like Coburn, Butler, Albright, and Jasper
D. Ward have usUped the leadership once
enjoyed by Dawes, Garfield, Poland, Geo.
f. HOar, Hale, and Blaine. If the Speaker
had made upon the free bill the stirring
and manly protest Of which he was capable
and which ;he at one time intended to
make, that bill would probably have been
beaten, and the ultra elements reduced
within some bound. Just now they are
running not, and if Speaker were TO be
elected, Mr.. Blaine would be dismissed
summarily. Jasper D. Ward is now more
Of a leader than Poland, and the impress
sion in political circles is that on the Arlan-
sas question the House is ready to indoTse
the most violent policy. As a Republican
member expressed l. tonight, his ''party in
the House is very much worked up"
The Force Bill.
It is generally admitted to-day that the
force bill cannot pass the Senate, and it is
doubtful whether it viii be brought up. On
Saturday Mr.. Sargent succeeded in getting
an evening session, on the false pretense Of
considering an appropriation bill, but
really for the purpose Of receiv-
ing the force bill from the House; but
when the body me. at night, the Republi-
cans found that the Democrats were too
much for them. It appeared that the force
bill could not have its first reading under
the Senate rules except during the morning
hour, and that the Democrats would be
able TO postpone the second reading to
Tuesday. In this state Of the case, those
Republicans who did not care TO run the
risk of having the House bin passed, thought
it best 10 unite their forces with the Demo-
Gratis and force an amendment. Mr.. Nor
ton now gives up the bill as dead.

The grocery trade was a good deal sur
prised to-day at the announcement of the
failure Of Wheatley, Williams x Co, sugar
refiners, with offices in lower Wall street
and refinery in Water street, Brooklyn.
This firm succeeded Finken & Wheatley,
the members Of it being nephews Of the
late Howell Williams, Of the old firm Of
Roberts & Williams. They inherited
considerable property, and had in their
business, it was understood, a capital Of
100000 to 100000. Their liabilities we
could not ascertain on authority, but by
those who should be well informed they
are estimated at $4,000 to 100000. The
greater part Of their liabilities is repre-
sented by paper given in payment for raw
sugar. The largest single creditor we hear
Of holds 10000.

RERLIN,s LADY DENTIST.

An interesting account Of lady dentist IN
Berlin appears in Women and WOrb,a jour
nal edited by Miss Emily Faithful. The
lady married a dentist, who settle in Belin;
but be died Of intemperance, and left her
without means of subsistence. She had
often watched her husband at his work,
and resolved to become a dentist herself
But the law forbade any one to practice
dentistry without a certificate, which
could be gained only by examination, and
there was no examination for women.
Being informed that an American certifi-
cate would be accepted at Berlin, she re-
solved to 90 to Philadelphia, where, she had
been informed, She could study without
difficulty, however, she learned that no
woman had ever before applied to the Col
lege Of Dentistry in that city; but after
much discussion, the authorities allowed
her to attend lectures and work in the lab
OratOry, while private instruction was
given to her. Finally she passed a sue
cessful examination, and commenced to
practice in Philadelphia with success.
But she wanted to return to Berlin, and
she finally did so, armed with her certiti-
cate. She began the practice of dentistry
in that city, confirming her practice 20 WO-
men and children. She met at first with
much oppOsitiOnfrOm her fellow practitiOn-
ers, but that speedily diminished after she
had been introduced to the Crown Prin-
cess, and had been appointed dentist 10 her
Royal Highness' children. Engagements
among the highess families Of Berlin
fOcked upon her, and at the present mo-
ment she stands in the first rank Of her
profession. She is said 20 have great
strength in her hand, flOWsOf health and
spirits. and works with out WeatTiless ten
hours a day.

HOW ALFONSO BECAME KING OF
SPAIN.

Gradually, and chiefly through the
claims Of the victors to the spOils, the
history of the Ring which placed Al
fonso on the throne Of Spain is leaking
out.
Ever since the outbreak Of the Cuban
revolution in 1868, the Shareholders and
slave traders Of Havana who organized
the Casino EspanOl, have maintained
an agent Il Madrid to protect their IN
terset IN slavery through all the kaleid-
soscopic changes Of Spanish administra-
tons. This agent, Manuel Calvo by
name. Is a slave owner, not devoid of
certain talent, and always amply sup
pIied with funds wherewith to relieve
the financial necessities Of any oblg-
ing Minister.
Ia Madrid IS a restaurant kept Ivy
ono L'Hardy, and there the Spanish
KING Of the Lobby has has apart

rant style, and almost daily the pO-
litical notabilIties of Spain hObnOb

purchased some time since a half inter-
est In the Alfonsist paper, La EPOco,
besides making considerable invest
ments in conservative journals. 10
these and other similar reasons is due
the enormous influence which under
every administration IN Madrid since
1868, with the only exceptions OF those
IF Ply Margal and Ruiz Gorilla,
Manuel Calvo has exercised over each
successive Colonial Secretary.
1t is now alleged IN Madrid that
when Calvo promised his cooperation
IN tba Alfonsist coup d'etdt, the slave
traders Of Havana sent him S3OO,OOO,
which he distributed through Count
Valmaseda. the former Captain Genera
