strictly Enforced The Presi-
dents Military order.
NEW YORK, Aug. II.
A Washington special to the Tribune
says: The Attorney Generals office is
adopting measures L enforce strictly
all the provisions of the national cleo
ton laws, not only in the South but
elsewhere. Great care is to be exer-
cised, it is said, in the selection of Su.
per visors OF Elections, and instructions
will be issued for the guidance of all
United States officers in a few days.
Prosecutions are also contemplated
against persons in Alabama who are
accused of having perpetrated frauds
in the State elections, though it Is diff
cult to see how the United States has
Jurisdiction in the cases, and also
against any who are guilty of intimida-
ton of voters. Special counsel has al
ready been appointed to assist in this
work, and arrests are expected i'll a few
days. The United States Marshals' Of
fees in the South are to be made more
efficient; some changes of principals
and a number OF deputies have been
made.
The military order Of the President,
published this morning, has furnished
the chief topic of conversation to-day
among the politicians who still tarrv in
Washington. 1t has inspired the Re-
publ!cans, who trust In the Admins
tration machinery, with q confidence
and hope which thoy have not felt
since the passage of Civil Service Re-
form, and they now look for a return
of tho days when the Southern question
overshadowed all others in national
politics, and the loyal men OF the North
voted the Union ticket, asking no ques-
tons for conscience sake.

issue any special orders for carrying

ing troops, except to publish that or
der for general information. No

The President Loses His Patience.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Is.
Delegation after delegation of Mary
land Republicans has besieged the
President to procure the removal OF
United States Marshal Goldsborough,
| OF Baltimore. To-day another power
full effort was made,th the result of which
will deter any future attempt in that
direction. The President lost his pa
tience and frankly tod his interview
ers that they would appear to better
ad Vantage in attempting to unite the
party in Maryland; he gave them no.
tice hat he should do nothing for eth
er faction, but that when the party be-
comes a unit in Maryland, he would
listen to the recommendations Of
those having authority to speak.
GoldsborOugh has beer a faithful Off
Ger and the President refuses to dis
place him on the demand of mi wing
of the Republican party in that State.

O'Leary AccOlnpIishes Another
Frnud-NegrO Troubles in Texas
New YORK, Aug. Is.
1t is now stated by competent wit
nesses that O'Leary only walked $40
miles in the late exhibition, and some
say only 220. The first witness is
Frank Clarke, who came from Chicago
with O'Leary, and who laid out the
track for him at the rink. Clarke says
that after the first heat he measured
the track and found it to be seventy
five feet short. AS eight laps were
counted a mile, this made a difference
of forty-five miles in the whole 500;
but he say s that there were other and
greater frauds than this. Instead OF
walking eight laps for a mile the re.
destrian was generally credited with q
mile for every six or seven laps, sc
that the whole distance actually walked
was brought down to about 272 miles.
Plummer, the time keeper makes a
more serious charge, as he says that
each night, or early in the morning,
O'Leary, instead of being on the track
as every one outside of the rink sup
posed, was sleeping comfortably in his
bed, while he (Plummer) marked of
the miles at the rate OF five per hour
as if O'Leary had been walking and
