DE FREYCINET DECLINES.

AN UNEXPECTED MOVE ON THE CHEssBoARD
OF FRENCH sTATECRAFT-THE MINISTER OF
PUBLIC WORKS FEARS TO BE USED BY POLL
TTcIANs-A CALL FOR LEON SAY.
(BY CABLE TO THE HERALD
PARIS, Dec. %, 1879.
lie Temps of yesterday morning said "Presi-
dent Grevy has not yet accepted the rcsigna-
tons of the members of the Cabinet and
M. De Freycinet has not yet replied
whether he consents to form another" During
the day it was announced that M. de Frcycinet
had declined the task. Thereupon President
GrGvy requested Premier Waddington to retain
the Presidency of the Council and reorganze
the Ministry. nj. Waddington has asked for
twcnty-four hours delay and has meantime
urged President Grevy to intrust the duty to
M. Leon Say. 1t is believed that, if the Premier
finally refuses to act, NJ. Leon Say will be
charged with the formation of n new Cabinet.
Several Paris special correspondents con-
cur in the opinion that Cabinet formed
by NJ Leon Say could not be permanent
one. The Standards Paris correspondent gives
the following some of the reasons why NJ do
Freycinet declined to form Cabinet He does
not care to set himself in opposition to M. Gam
beta he is disinclined to take office on suf-
france and many leading politicians to whom
he applied who would willingly serve under
Gambetta would not do SO under him. 1t
is significant that M. Gent (mcmbcr of
the Republican Union) has been elected men,
Der of the Chamber of Deputies from Orange.
Department Of vauclusc, receiving 5000
votes, against 4,O03 for NJ. Humbert (Commun-
ist), and M. Maze moderate republican, has
been elected from Versailles, Department of
Scine-et-Oisc, receiving ALSO votes against
1864 for M. Buffcnoir (radical).
Tho Times Paris despatch says the report of
the refusal of NJ. De Frcycinet to form q Cab
net requires confirmation.

large crowds of people in the streets, and
1T was believed that when it became dark
small provocation would create disturbance
The respectable inhabitants desired the
Mayor to postpone the declaration OF
the result Of the election till morning.
but at eleven p. NJ. il was announced that
The total vote polled was 27,646. Mr..
Waddy, liberal, received 14,O62 votes, and
Mr. Wortley, conservative, 1854, being u
majority of 47S for Mr.. Waddy. [The cleo
ton has little else than local Importance.
The nomination of Mr. Stuart Wortley as the
conservative candidate was the best that could
be selected. Mr.. Wortley was well known in the
town. He is the cousin of Lord Wharncliffc, of
"DOn't care a button" and 'Beefstcak Club"
fame, and he was selected as the second conser-
vative candidate for the general election. More
over Mr.. Wortley, like Mr.. Waddy is a barrister.
The two candidates may therefore be said to be
fairly weighted, rs far us their personal and in
tellectual qualifications are concerned. Mr..
Wortley, however, called himself ''liberal
conservative" Mr.. Waddy II frank liberal.
The political difference between the two can
didates was, therefore, very slight.]
The Times in its leading article says that the
Sheffield election is legitimate liberal victory.

ANOTHER CHILEAN VICTORY.

DEFEAT OF THE ALLIES AND CAPTURE OF
rARAPAcA BY THE cHILEANs-
IN PERU AND BOLIVIA.
The following despatch has been received ut
the Chilean Legation in Washington from the
Chilean Consul General at Panama.
"On the 9th of November bloody and stub
born battle took place between the Chileans
and the allied forces. The Chileans remained
masters of the field, occupying the town Of
Tarapaca.
"a revolution has broken out in the province
of Moquegua, Peru. 1t is led by General Cho-
cane in favor of Pierold.
Intelligence received from La Paz, Bolivia
announces that q revolution has taken place on
account Of the recent defeat, the leader being
M. Nunez del Prado."
The Chilean Minister at Paris telegraphs to
the Chilean Consul in London that the pre-
tended recent victory of the Peruvian and Bo-
livian allies over the Chileans is officially
denied. He says:-'The entire province of Tara
paca is now in our power"

the cavalry and artillery being chiefly stationed
in environments on the Prussian side in a line
with Wloclawek, Ostrolenka, Bclostock,
Vrodno and Suwalki. The reason assigned for
the massing of these men is the possibility OF
counteracting thereby the celebrity of German
and Austrian troops should the armies of these
Powers be modified.
CANovAs IN DIFFICULTIES.
All the special dispatches from Madrid agree
that the Ministry of Senor Canovas del Castillo
is becoming more unpopular daily. General
Martinez Campos, who heretofore favored
cancellation, is now openly hostile to
the government in consequence of the
dismissal of the generals who had
previously withdrawn their designations at his
request. One of the dismissed generals on
Saturday gave banquet to General Martinez
Campos and thirty Other officers, together with
q number of colonial members of the Chamber
of Deputies. General Martinez Campos was one
OF the speakers in the Senate yesterday who
censured the government for the dismissal of
the generals who had withdrawn their resigna-
tons, but was not himself, as stated, one OF
those dismissed. An official despatch was read in
Cabinet Council yesterday announcing that the
most important insurgent leader in Cuba and
two of his lieutenants had been killed. and that
the insurgent leader of the District of Glen
fuegos and eight of his followers had sur
rendered.

RAyINE AND cREyAssE.

More immediate interest however. centres
round the forces which already in Afghan
istan and are marching along the road which
the disasters Of 1912 have invested with q
romantic and gloomy interest. The Standard
announces that the Ghilzais have assembled be-
tween Khurd Cabul and Jagdulluk and COM
meiits on the fact that it was in this minor pass
among these rocky t1files and mountain gorges
THAT most of the 10000 men, women
and childrcn-Asiatics and Europeans-who
fell in Afghanistan, were assailed by
the regulars and the wild hill tribes, and finally
succumbed to hunger among the deep SHOWS
and wintry blasts of that inhosptablc region
rThe Khoord Cabul Pass is five miles long, shut
in OH either hand by line of lofty hills, with %
torrent dashing down the centre which even
intense frost is powcrless to arrest. The de-
struction of life ut this stage was very great in
1912. Tho British retreat was continued
through dcfle called the Dark Pass, only fifty
yards long, and the Tazecn Pass, three miles
long. Next day General Elphinstone fell into
the hands of the enemy. The troops then entered
the terrible pass of Jagduluk, two miles long,
and very narrow and prccipitous, and found the
exit closed by strong barriers of prickly holly
oak stretched across the dcfilc. Here, with
twenty muskets for their only weapons, the
miserable remnant Of the British forces made
their stand General Cough is traversing the
same ground to-day.] Calcutta dispatches say
General Cough reports that in consequence Of
the dcsultory attacks of the Ghilzas it became
necessary to attack them all along the linc
that the Ghilzais have been driven off and lie
hopes they are Dispensing

WAITING FOR NEws-YAKooB IN EXILE.
[DY CABLE TO THE HERALD
LONDON, Dec. %, 1879.
The situation in Afghanistan is still most
alarming to the public and distressing to those
who have relatives or friends entrcnched at
Sharpur or snow-bolnd among the passes. The
silence is broken this morning by unsatisfac-
tory despatch to the Times from it's CORE
spondcnt ut Candahar, who is the nearest to
Cabul of all but the military correspondents.
He says ''the news from Cabul excites neither
surprise nor apprehension here. The tribesmen,
who have hitherto been occupied in preparing
their lands for the spring crops are now free
from labor for three months, and thus long the
excitement may be expected to last. No at.
tempt ought to be made before spring to do
more than to hold our position. General
StewaN's command on the whole line from
Dadur to Candahar consists of 9,O75
effective men. The tribes along the line
are quiet" But this despatch has failed
,to calm the excitement which is hero univer-
sally felt. For Candahar itself there is little
anxiety. General Stewards proverbial economy
has been supplemented by the liberality of Sir
Richard Temple on his recent visit to the city,
and both the transport and commissariat de-
partments are now known to be in working
order. Necessaries have been brought in from
the outlying country. Sahib JAMS tribe-the
Turakis-have made submission. The city has
been cleaned from end to end Cholera
has entirely disappeared and the troops
are now enjoying perfect weather General
Stewart has not yet received instructions to adj
vance on Cabul, but the road is still known to
be practicable as far as Ghuznee. The Jajio
arc gathered Mt Thall. Recommending parties
have been stopped by small bands of them
brandishing knives and singing war songs
The passes around Khelat-i-Ghilzai are ut this
season infested with bears. But the approach
to Cabul from the south is believed by all who
know the country to be the most feasible and
the one most likely to be taken by reinforce
ments from India.

ERIE, Pa, October 23.--Colonel Hay,
the celebrated temperance preacher,
who arrived here to-day to hold tenn

former temperance gladiator, who a
short time time ago electrified thous-
and with his eloquencs. Leeis straug-

has abjured temperance and now drinks
beer in his own saloon. His portrait
appeared in the " Police Gazette" a
few weeks ago, labeled as fraud. Lee
acknowledged that he was once tenn

from grace to the uncharitable conduct
of co-workers. The Colonel and tenn
perance people visited Lee in his sa'

back. He declined respectfully, but
