THE CIMBRIA.


A Washington special of the 3rd speak
ing of the Russian steamer, now lying
at southwest harbor, Maine, says the
presence of the Russian war steamer
Umbria in American waters is now ex-
planned by the alleged search for fast
sailing cruisers. Information in the
possession of the government agents
here tends to support this theory. The
Russian officers and crew on the Cambria
are intended to man the steamers
which Russia is negotiating to purchase
in this country. 1t is said that the Rus
sian agents have for some time pos
sessed a complete list of all the fast-sall-
ing and substantial sea-going steam
ers in this country both on the
- Atlantic and Pacific shore, and
that negotiations are on foot to
a purchase several of these, and their for
NAL investure as Russian war vessels be-
fore war is declared It is not knownt to
any of the authorities here so far as can
be ascertained, that Russia is buying
arms or ammunition in this country,
but there is a belief that machinery for
the manufacture of arms has been
bought, and may be shipped on the
CsnaJria, and also that light, long range
cannon have been purchased, and await
Russian orders The supposition is
~ that ships and material of war are to be
got out of our harbors before war is de-
clared, SO as not only to avoid detention
under the neutrality laws, but also
capture by British vessels. which are
watching vigilantly everything done
by the Russian agents on our Dor
der. - A treasury officer mentioned
report that secret negotiations had
been for some time afoot for the enlist
ment of corps OF, 5000 Or 5000 Irish
soldiers to be sent to Russia for service
against England, and it Was this detect
ives belief that the Cambria would take
on her return as passengers large pOr-
ton of this force. Inquiry shows that
even such enlistment would not be a
violation of the law while peace contin-
ues as the men would probably ship as
laborers for public works. ssseesa
THE VENEZUELAN CLAIMS.
Advices from Washington under
date of May 3rd, say that the bill
in regard to the Venezuelan
claims provides that the act of Febru-
airy IS, 1873, to enforce the stipu1ations
of the convention with Venezuela and
payment of adjudicated claims, is here
= by repealed; also that if the president
shall believe from examination
ton that Venezuela is entitled to
rehearing of any or all claims
: or to any relief, he is fully empowered
j. to enter into further convention with
-- that country to afford such relief; pro-
vided heeconvention shall have the

9'Thirtyseveni years ago Horace Gree
ley founded the Iribalae, and it is some
thing less than six years since he died.
Then the Iribaaae passed into the con-
troll of Jay Gould, who,o as Mr.. William
Orion has stated, took from him, at the
rate Of $4,000 share, fifty-one shares
out of the 100 composing the stock of
the Association. From that time Jaw
Gould has controlled the Tribune, en-
ploying Whitelaw Reid as his agent and
editor: When he took possession, the
Association had in its treasury the sum
of 100000 derived from a, policy of in
surance upon the life of Mr.. Greeley,
and, beside this, a building fund Of
about 800, 900, which had accumulated
during q considerable period, with an
amount quite as large or larger of
profits that had not been divided-mak-
ing in all the handsome of about
$1,000 with no debts, and the real
estate then owned by the Tribune all
paid for. And now, after neatly six
years of Mr.. Goulds control the pres

DISLIKE THEIR OWN MED1c1xE.

The advocates of the Merrill text book law
were very indignant yester day when Senator
Rice offered a bill giving resident of Min
nesota ten years. contract to furnish school
furniture to the public schools of the State.
The bill is almost an exact copy of the text
book bill, with the exception of substituting
furniture for books, but upon its presenta-
ton the supporters of the book contract
howl that it is burlesque, au insult, etc.
We neither know or care to know
the origin of this bill, though we see
no reason why it is not perfectly legitimate
legislation, if what we already have on the
statute book is legitimate. It's presentation
has already done good, for it has shown to
the public the legitimate result of the State
engaging in private business enterprises.
There is and has been an oppressive monop-
oily in the matter of school furniture. Every
word of argument against the bill offered by
Senator Rice yesterday is an Argument
against the text book bill. We are
not surprised that the text book
advocates should feel chagrined to see
their schemes so forcibly exposed by
indirection, but we are astonished to hear

RECEITER JEWETT.

Arrested. Charged with Perjury in His
Statements of the Erie Road.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2O.-Police Justice Nor
gan has issued an order of arrest against
Receiver Jewett, of the Erie railway, on a
charge of perjury, The complainant is F.
Plat, an English holder of Erie stock, now
in this country. The affidavit on which the
charge is based, was made by one Robert
son, and alleges that Mr.. Jewett's sworn
statements of the condition of Erie were I'M
trustworthy and false in several particulars.
Receiver Jewett appeared with his counsel
at the Essex Market police court this morn
ing and gave bail in $4,000.
Jewett says the construction of his report
to the State Engineer depends upon the CON
struction to be put on the law. He adopted
the construction which he understood to be
the correct one and which has been acted upon
by other companies. Those who charge him
with perjury declare that he intended to
palm off the falsehood that no interest was
in arrear on the part of corporation of
which he was acting as receiver, for the sole
reason that the interest was in arrear and
had been for more than two and hall

The Pioneer Press, referring to the politi-
cal crisis in England, remarks that the only
significant feature in it has been the ever
bose resignation of an Earl named Carnayron
who was never known to the world before,
But he has been known for some years as a
young and talented statesman, of independ-
ent character. In Parliament he gained the
reputation of an able debater; he was instru-
mental in bringing about the consolidation
of the British Colonies of South Africa, and
he has discharged the duties of Colonial
Secretary in such manner as to win great
credit. He resigned because he is opposed
to Cabinet measures tending to embroil his
country in war without necessity for war.
But that one should resign an Office for any
cause except to avoid being turned out, is
perhaps enough to convince the Pioneer
Press that he is nobody. The fact that he
is not known in that establishment signifies
nothing. There are several things that con-
Germ don't know.
