SAN Francisco, February 4.
The "Stock Report" to-day has the fol-
lowing: We are enabled to announce this
morning, upon unquestionable authority,
that all matters of difference between Mr..
Sutro and the mining companies, with
reference to the ~latter's use OF his tunnel,
have been adjusted. Mr.. Sutro will at
once withdraw his objections to the water
being pumped in, and all will henceforth
go on smoothly. We are unable to state
the exact terms Of adjustment, but it is
said to have involved only slight conces-
sions on either side. The papers will be
drawn up at once, and as soon as possible
be signed, sealed, and delivered.
The Internal Revenue officers last night
discovered an illicit distillery in the base
ment of a restaurant on Dupont street,
conducted by Louis Mennier. The ap-
paratus was in full working order. The
spirits, implements, etc., we're captured,
and the proprietor was lodged in jail. The
property, which will be forfeited to the
Government, is valued at about $4,000.
Charles Seimmins, an Englishman, aged
SO, suicided by taking s%trychnine at his

In the case Of John Ii. Burke VS.. the
Twelfth District Court and w. H. Dam
gerfield, the Judge Of the Supreme Court
yesterday decided that the action of the
Court below in denying an order to COM
pei j. c. Flood to be sworn as a witness in
the case of Burke VS.. Flood, before the
issue was Joined, was not a proper case for
a mandamus by the Supreme Court, and a
writ was denied. The Court did not so
into the merits of the case, or decide that
the witness could, or could not, be sworn
before an issue was joined in action.

SPECIAL TO H EUREKA DAILY SENTINEL,
Composition Of the New Cabinet.
RETURN Of THE CHAMBERS TO PARIS.
Dufaure Requested to Remain in
Office.
RETURN Of THE CHAMBERS TO PARIS.

LONDON, req. 4.
A Paris dispatch says the composition Of
the new Cabinet, as given on Monday
evening, shows that it organized with the
hope of securing a durable majority. The
new members are Senator Leroyer, Minis
ter Of Justice; Deputy Lepere, Minister Of
Commerce, aud Jules Ferry, Minister Of
Education. The new Cabinet will be ga
zetted ON Wednesday. 1t is expected that
it will meet the Chambers with the same
programme which Dufaure presented. 1t
appears probable that it viii resist a gen.
eral amnesty and the return Of the Cham
bers to Paris. In reference to the i'm
parchment scheme, the correspondent
doubts, from the tone of the Radicals,
whether resistance would be successful.
Dufaure was urged at the councils, held on
Monday and Friday Of last week, to re-
main in office. He altered his determine
ton on Saturday, when he saw by the
members who called upon him, pretending
to dissuade him from it, or congratulating
him on his retirement, that he was consid-
cred an impeachment to the ambition OF
others. Mr.. Waddington sincerely wished
that he would remain.

Combines f e

After one Of the most bitter and persist
emit political fights that was ever known in
the history Of American politics, Conkling
has beer beaten by the Administration, and
the New York Custom-house appointees
have been confirmed. Conkling's friends
charge that it was due to the fact that
Messrs. Hayes and Sherman iesorted to
such means Of which no gentlemen would
be guilty. OF all men in Congress, Roscoe
Conkling is the last who should complain
Of the attitude Of the present Administra-
lion. From first to last, he has been ia
miliar with the entire history Of the man
aer in which Hayes secured his present
position, and knowing 1t, he alb
sentcd himself from the Senate
Chamber at q time when he could have
prevented the most monstrous wrong that
has ever been perpetrated on the American
people, and when he found that he could
not control the policy of the
man for whom he sacrificed SO
much, he attacked him with a
m~alignity worthy Of his Satanic Majesty.
1t was Conkling who really appointed the
Potter Committee it was he who used it
to further his own personal interests it
was he who brought ruin and disgrace to
one Of its witnesses, aud then cast him
aside o.. aae for whom he had no further
sso. Tho American people do not know
either Rutherford b. Hayes or Roscoe
Cenkling as they really are. and if they
did, they would agree that 1t was q matter
Of but little interest which mi succeeded
In . political quarrel, in which only the
personal interests Of one or the other was
advanced.

Adviccs from Europe state that q general
alarm exists concerning the plague that is
spreading there in spite of the extraordi-
nary efforts made to check It's progress.
Sanitary measures have been instituted by
Austria and Germany to guard their
frontiers against its advance from Russia.
When il ID remembered how often plaques
have appeared in Europe, it Is easy to I'M
derstand the uneasiness felt at present.
The disease appears to have originated ct
the seat Of war in Turkey, due primarily
TO the budding Of large masses Of men to-
gether, and the neglect Of sanitary condi-
tions; seeondarily to hospital neglect and
the leaving Of thousands Of men and horses
10 rot Unmarried on the fields OF battle. A
malignant typo of typhus fever began to
spread and added to the horrors OF the
sieges of Plevna and Kars. After the sign
ing of the treaty Of peace the fever con-
tinued to rage among the Russian corps OF
occupation around Adrianople, and began
70 change from the endemic to an epidemic
form, and to take on very malignant
symptoms, descriptions Of which remind
one Of the plague Of Charles lis time
and Of the Black Death OF an
earlier period. DR.. Zolekauer and Pro-
lessor Botkin have both pronounced
the disease to be the plague in the
worst form, and they rest their opinion in
part on the hidoous mortality, 80 per cent.
Of all cases resulting fatally. About one
third Of the Russian doctors at the seat Oh
the disease have died, and young medical
students have to be sent TO take their
places. The plague, fortunately for the
rest Of Europe, is spreading chiefly north
and east, and has not yet set its lace
strongly toward tho German and Austrian
lines. But still there is a certain comfort
in the fact that the Atlantic ocean stretches
its 1000 miles Of salt water between this
country and the plague. 1t may, however,
be worth while for the health officers in
this country to bestow q little extra atten-
ton upon ships that arrive here from such
points as may be in the vicinity Of the in
Aicted districts, for the plague has been
scattered in Russia chiefly by the fight Of
the inhabitants from place to place, in
panic stricken effort to escape the pesti-
hence, the seeds Of which they carry with
them and scatter by the way. Passengers,
containing the germ Of the disease, might
. dreadful havoc on shipboard, and
make it . hotbed OF the plague before it
our shores.

did not cover itself with glory when it
elected Jonas to the United States Senate.

people to drive Kellogg and his minions

bayonet. A few hours afterward he en-

inaugural address, delivered twenty-five
days ago, has just come to hand. 1t should

would have been but for the absurd law

Confirmation of Custom house
NOminatiOns-Thc Result AttrfD-
uted to Bribery.

Mountaineering Result Attrib-
uted to Bribery.
WASHINGTON, February 4.
The universal topic OF comment IN
Washington tonight, is the action OF the
Senate on the New York Custom-house
nominations. The largeness OF the ma
jority for confirmation is a matter OF
establishment to almost every one, and ex-
plantations differ widely. The result is,
however, attributed on all hands to two
main causes. Frst-To the pressure
brought to bear by members of the Cabinet
upon individual Republican Senators dur
ing the past few days, especially by Secre-
tary Sherman in private conferences with
a number Of them yesterday; and second
The determined exertions made by Mr..
Bayard and several other leading Demo-
Gratis, to convince the majority OF their
colleagues that party policy dictated a
course in opposition to that taken by the
majority Of the Republicans. The friends
of Mr.. Conkling openly charge that the
nature Of the pressure successfully exerted
by the Administration upon a consider
able number Of Republican Senators, who
voted to-day for confirmation, though
heretofore known to be opposed to it, was
simply bribery, consisting of more or less
distinct promises Of patronage in the
shape OF appointments for their friends,
or for themselves, upon the expiration OF
their Senatorial terms. There is, it must
be confessed, much ground for this sus-
picion in the case Of several Senators; but
more charitable, undoubtedly more truth
'ul explanations Of most of the changed
Republican votes to-day, may be found IN
he fact that several Senators, heretofore
opposed to confirmation, had come to the
conclusion that the controversy could not
% finally settled in any other way, and
hat it would be better, in a party point OF
rev, that some men should be ~disappoint-
d than that the contest between the Re-
administration and a majority of
he Republican Senators should be carried
IN indefinitely, and be a fruitful source OF
weakness and dissention during the period
When all factions will need their united
trength to cope successfully with the
enemy, for the control OF the leg

A few months since the San Francisco

argument upon the ground that the South
ern Pacific would compel the trade of Ari-
