HT REPORT.
WASHINGTON.
Grateful Germans,

Washington, March 22.-E. B. WASH
burne, United States Minister at Paris.
was called upon here to-day by a COM
mittee of Germans and presented with
resolutions thanking him for services
to their countrymen during the Franco
German war.
Washburne thanked the committee
for the honor they had done him in
communicating the resolutions express
ing the sentiments Of the Germans of
Washington, many of whom he has
long and favorably known. He said he
was highly honored by their kindness,
and he SHOULD cherish with gratitude
the recollection of their visit. AS
charged with theprotection of Germans
in France he had endeavored to dis
charge the duty imposed upon him, not
only in the interest of humanity but in
a manner satisfactory to the German
government, in a way to secure the ap-
probation Of his own government, and
without wounding the sensibilities of
the French nation. Much of this sue
cess was due to the kind manner in
which the government of the national
league of France had enabled him to
perform his duty, which was a delicate
and responsible one. Washburne then
thanked the committee as the organ of
the German-American residents of
Washington.

Whaling in a Western Creek.

AT AnaheIm, ON the I'd of March, it
was discovered by one of the lighter
men at Anaheim Landing that very
large right-whale had entered the creek
during the night, and was then unable
to make his escape, owing to the ebb
tide. All the shotguns and rifles were
Immediately brought into reqcisition,
and the whale was fired upon both from
land and water until powder and shot
gave out. A party of sailors in small
skiff attempted to hook it with a large
hook used in graphing lighters, but
were barely able to escape with their
lives when the monster, infuriated by
its many wounds, perceived their near
approach. 1t then attacked one of the
lighters, lashing the water into foam
of lather and blood. AS the tide came
to its flood, however, it had strength
sufficient to work its way outside, and
the curious have thus been deprived OF
a spectacle rarely to be met with. The
length of the monster was estimated at
over forty feet. Sacramento Record

A Pilfering Postoffice Clerk. - -,
Chicago, March 22.-For some time
complaint has been made that business
letters addressed to Chicago merchants
have been missing, and the supposition
has been that steal has been going on
in the postoffice department. The
responsibility, however, has not been
placed until to-day, when Frederick j.
Gross, the distributing clerk, who has
been suspected recently and quietly
watched, was discovered furtively slip
ping letters under a newspaper, and
thence to an inside pocket. He was
Immediately called to an interviewwith
special treasury agent Stuart, and con-
fessed to the theft, placing the amount
of his stealings at five hundred dollars.
The government officers, however, sus-
pect that the sum is much larger. His
transactions have been confined to
business letters.

Another Bond Forger Caught.


New York, March 22.-James Kill
patrick, who was arrested in the New
York hotel on the charge of having
forged bonds in his possession, had
800, 900 in forged bonds of the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad, guaranteed by
the state of Missouri. The bonds are
almost perfect limitations of the genu-
inc, and were to have been thrown on
the street forthwith. James Mckay
was also arrested, being accused of com
plicity in the same transaction.
James Fitzpatrick and James Mckay,
alias Canada Mike, were arraigned at
the Tombs police court this afternoon
on the charge of forging bonds to the
amount Of 100000 on the Missouri
Pacific r. r. After the charges had
been Investigated it was dismissed and
they were discharged from custody,
owing to insufficient evidence and the
fact that the bonds did not bear the
seal of the State of Missouri, without
which they could not be negotiated.

Pacific Railroad Decision.

New York, March 22.-Further par
ticulars in regard to the decision by the
Supreme court of California show that
the California Pacific company has
always paid interest on its first and Sec
ond mortgage bonds from its own rev.
enues that the Central Pacific COM
pany never leased the road, but in con-
sideration for certain business facilities
the Central company guaranteed
sixteen hundred second mortgage
bonds; it was never called upon to
pay the interest and consequently
never refused; it did not enter any
plea, as represented, as to the invalidity
of its contract but, on the contrary, ii
has always seemed ready and willing to
fulfill its agreements. The Central
company regard the decision as really
in their favor and against their oppo.
nents.

The Missing Ex-Mayor.

New York, March 22.-No trace is
as yet discovered of the whereabouts of
ex-Mayor Hall. His family and busi-
ness associates have not received any
information whatever regarding him,
and the impression now is that he has
either committed suicide or been way
laid and murdered.
New York, March 22.-The fate of
Hall is still the sensation of the hour.
The newspapers generally have no new
theories or facts. The World, how
ever, has some startling points to the
effect that he went to Brooklyn to get
some witnesses in the divorce case Of
Kate Claxton. His trip carried him to
the worst places of the city, and there
is scarcely doubt that he never re-
turned. He was probably murdered
there,

A young Turk fell in love with a
Christian girl. She loved him in re-
turn, and finally with deep agitation
gave him piece of soap. He pressed
it to his manly bosom and went home

caught sight of his white skin that he
took the lad into the woods and whip
ped him to death. That was the begin
ming of the present dreadful Turkish
