And now m the announcement
that President Hayes, yielding TO the
pressure, has abandoned his Civil Ser
vice programme. The New York
changes have been viewed ali along as
test eases. The President said certain
customs officials were corrupt and
should be removed. Conkling said
they were his friends and should hold
on. Then came on the contest in the
Senate, and the New York Senator
came off victorious. Singular enough
the President has all at once discov-
cred thai the men he tried to displace
are very correct, worthy gentlemen,
and he has concluded not to further
modest them. II this means anything,
il mean a square back down on the
part of the President. And more sur
prising still, the telegraph also informs
us that he has "fopped" on the silver
question and will now approve the
Bland bill. This is quite enough for
one day. OF course the threatened in
vestigation of the Louisiana bargains
and frauds had nothing to do with
these sudden conversions. Hayes is
no such man as that. What next?

Comments on Blair's Memorial.


W~AsHINGToN, Jan. 8.
The President seems decided not to
renew the fight on the New York NOM
nations. He has learned hat the
present incumbents are, on the whole,
good men, in whose hands the public
interests will not suffer.
The National Republican says: We
state upon what we regard as high au-
thority, that the President will sign
the Silver bill whenever submitted to
him, having become convinced that
the business interests of the country
and a majority of the people demand it.
There is no truth in the specials de-
claring that the Diaz Government was
to be recognized on the arrival here
next week of Minister Foster. There
will be no change of policy by tie Ad-
ministration upon the Mexican ques-
tons until Congress shall have ex-
hausted its proposed inquiry and had
an opportunity to express its views.
Information to-day, direct from An
napolis, Maryland, is to the effect that
the sentiments of a majority of the
Democratic members OF the Maryland
Legislature are against Blair's mani.
festo, and that the resolution will fail
to pass when reported back from the
committee.
1t is believed here in political circles
that Blair's course is in pursuance of a
plan agreed upon by the Bourbon
Democratic leaders, and that the intro
duction of his resolutions is simply the
precursor of a policy which will be
pursued in every State where the Dem :
ocrats control the Legislature, and
which will be agitated in Congress dur
ing the next four weeks.
AS to the cause of the revolt in Pata-
gonia there seems to be no reliable in.
formation regarding 1t. In the de-
struction of property not the slightest
regard was paid to any nationality. A
twelve-pounder shot was fired through
tha English Consulate and the Vice
Consul himself was pursued and fired
at a number of times. He, however,
escaped in his own boat.
Frederick r. Goodrich, who adj
mitted forging the names of the em-
ployes of the Interior Department to

EASTERN NEVADA IN THE STATE
GOVERNMENT,

The western half of Nevada contains
tnore than two-thirds of the whole
population of the State. Under this
state of affairs, is it not a little singular
that all of the State officers, save two,
Lieutenant Governor Adams and Sur
veyor General Day, hail from the
Great East, or the counties lying east
of the Sink of the Humboldt? We can
only account for it on the hypothesis
that the East produces a better class of
men. The Lieutenant Governor is
from Storey, aud the Surveyor Gener-
al from Lyon. Governor Bradley
comes from Elko; Secretary of State
Minor and State Printer Hill, from
Humboldt; Controller Hobart, Judges
H.wley and Beatty, Attorney General
Kittrell and Clerk of the Supreme
Court Bicknell are all White Piners;
Treasurer Schooling is a Nye county
man, or was at the date of his election
the first term; and Mineralogist White
Elll HAS tno hOhOA Va representing
Churchill; Parson Kelly fittingly rep
resents the progressive intelligence of
the Base Range as Schoolmaster Gen.
eral of the Commonwealth. Con-
gresham Wren reflects this young
county at the National Capital.
We classify these State officers
now because most of them are candi-
dates for reelection. White Pines
quota is five. The White Pine of to-
day polls less than 1000 votes. The
people of Pogonip are not willing that
these gentlemen should claim a resi-
dence within her borders for political
purposes only. They say, and o r
rectly, that not one of the five has a
bona fde citizenship in that county.
None of them left behind property or
interests of any kind, and not one of
them will return to the county with
the close of the official term. In view
of these facts we counsel these ambi-
tious office-holders that it might be
we'll to reconstruct their geography.

DEATH OF THE KING OF
ITALY.
An Armistice Agreed Upon by Russia and
Turkey.
No More Fighting Unless Peace
Negotiations Should Fail.
England Wants n Hand in Settling
Terms.

LONDON, Jan. 9.
A Vienna special says England has
informed the Government al st. Peters
burg that she has no objections TO the
conclusion of an armistice in the mode
proposed by Russia, but as regards the
terms of peace no new European pro-
programme must be drawn up without
the sanction of Her Majesty's Govern
ment.
A dispatch from Constantinople this
morning says the Sultan, having APP
proved of the armistice conditions sub
mitted to him by Minister Raouf Pasha,
Minister of War, has ordered the com.
manders in the field to conclude the
armistice with the Russian command
ers. Before agreeing on this course,
Sefket Pasha, the Turkish Foreign
Minister, telegraphed to Mosuro Pasha,
Turkish Ambassador at London, in
structing him to request Lord Derby to
arrange with Russia the conditions Of
the armIstice. Lord Derby replied
that Russia would not entertain sucha
proposal, and counseled direct negoti-
atoms between the belligerents.
1t is stated that negotiations still con.
tinue between England and Russia on
the question OF mediation.
The Chamber of Deputies, having
heard the explanations of the Minis
ters, declared them satisfactory, and
especially approved Sefket Pasha's for
eign policy. All of the Ministers, Is in
number, were present during the de.
bate.
CoNSTANTINoPLE, Jan. o.
The Council of Ministers haveagreed
upon the conditions of an armistice,
and submitted them for the Sultan's
approval. In opening direct negotia-
tions purely for a military armistice,
the Porte is said TO be acting upon
Lord Derby's advice.
Chakir Pasha telegraphs to Constan-
tinople that, after checking the Rus.
sian advance with great loss at Petrich
evo, he retired to strongly entrenched
positions at Pabrine and Otlukkoi.
1t is stated that the Russians in Bull
garia have only three weeks supplies,
and great difficulties relative to forage
are probable unless communication is
speedily restored.
LONDON, Jan. o.
The King OF Italy died at 2:30 o'clock
this afternoon. He received the con-

John Mackay Not a Candidate for
United States Senator.


SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. g..
The funeral of Nathan Porter, from
Dashaway Hall this afternoon, was
largely attended by members of the
Bar, Odd Fellows, members of the
Legislature and citizens. The hall was
appropriately decorated, and the cask-
ct was covered with wreaths and boz
quets of flowers. ID. j. Staples acted
as Chief Marshal of the procession,
Rev. Mr.. McGowan conducted the flu
neral exercises. and j. b.. Harmon
delivered a eulogy on the deceased.
Walter Lemon also addressed the con-
gregation briefly after which the
procession reformed and marched to
the corner of Turk and Market streets,
where the street cars we're taken to
Odd Follows Cemetery, where the re-.
mains of deceased were deposited with
ceremonies of the Odd Fellows ritual.
1t has been ascertained that a broker
named Duval testified before the
Grand Jury hat he assisted Duncan
and Lewarne in their recent escape
from their hiding place in this city,
bringing a carriage and buggy to facili-
tate their escape, at the request of
william, son OF j.. G. Duncan. VIM.
Duncan, il is also said, refused to tes-
tify in reference TO his knowledge of
or aid in the escape, for the reason that
he would not give any information
tending to injure his father. Mrs.
Duncan, it is reported. denied all
knowledge of her husband since the
time of his departure from home. The
fact that none OF the parties privy to
the concealment and escape OF the fu-
gitives were indicted by the Grand
Jury, occasions much comment.
The Lady Bryan mine was sold at
Sheriff's sale yesterday to satisfy a
judgment against it in favor Of j. +.

John w. Mackay, the Virginia City
bonanza king, is in the city. His most
intimate friends say he will not be a
candidate for United States Senator
from Nevada. 1t is asserted by per-
sons who should know that the DO
anzas will help Senator Jones to a re-
election. They are satisfied with his
efforts for the silver bill and are will
ing, so it is said, hat he should be re-
turned.

hi PARIS EXPOSITION.

We note with pleasure the appoint
ment of so capable a representative as
Governor Richard c. Mccormick for
Commissioner General of the United
States to the Paris Exposition. The
mining interest, in particular, should
find in Governor McCormick's great
experience in mining matters a guar
antee that this department of national
industry will receive the attention it
merits.
The time at the disposal of exhibit
ors Is exceedingly limited, but we
trust a large number of our readers
will use every exertion to have our
mining and metallurgical industries
ftly represented. Manufacturers of
mining machinery of all kinds must
recollect that the whole world will visit
Paris next year, in order to see and
compare the products of different
countries, and there is little doubt but
that large and profitable markets can
be found for many of our products in
Central and South America, In the
West Indies, in Australia, New Zea-
land, Japan, China, and other coun-
tries, II American manufacturers will
exert themselves to cur them.
This q occasion, where the Gov
ernments defray the expense of trans
portation, and allow exhibition with
out the payment of import tariff.
should be profted by to the utmost,
and, though the time is short, it is still
sufficient to make a creditable repre-
sentation of our ores, metallurgic pro.
cesses and products, machinery, and
other articles, for which we may be
able to find a foreign market. The
space in the Paris Exposition allotted
to the United States adjoins that set
apart for Russia, and is 400 by 100 feet
In extent. 1t is divided into five parts,
three of which are for general indus
trial exhibits, one for machinery, and
one for food products.

"Thev have COMPRISED me about; yea,
they have comprised me about, but in

WASHINGTON, Jan,

WASHINGTON, Jan.y y.
Democrats here are enjoying the pro-
posed investigation of the Louisiana
frauds. They are resolved that if in
quiry is begun, it shall be thorough;
that it shall begin with Florida and
Louisiana and end with the last days of
Grants administration, and that 1t
shall not leave uncovered any secret
struggle. These Democrats under
stand very we'll that such an inquiry
would Inconvenience most of the very
people who are now talking OF investi-
cation, and who seem to imagine they
can develop just as little as would suit
their particular purpose and stop
short whenever it suits them.
The Cabinet had under consideration
to day the silver question. The Presi-
dent reiterated his hope that the coin
age clause of the bill for the remone-
tizatiou of silver might be SO limited
that he could be spared the necessity
of vetoing it, if passed by Congress. 1t
is probable that an attempt will be
made to amend the Bland bill by some
of the Presidents friends, instead of
Introducing a new bill as a substitute
embodying his views.
1t is authoritatively stated that Presi-

ject of a special message to Congress.

the present and prospective evils of the

may be most proper and effective to
restrict and regulate the immigration
