DOMESTIC NEWS.
The Colorado Trouble-Death OF Lieuten.
ant Governor Robinson.
DENVER (Col). November 29th.-Lieu.
tenant Governor Robinson died this morning
at o'clock. Whether his death was an acci.
dent or murder is not fully settled, but a
post mortem examination to-day will prob
ably throw some light on the subject.
DENVER, November 29th.-That the shoot
ing of Governor Robinson was accidental is
now evident from the post mortem examin-
alton, which shows that but one shot was
fired. The ball, in its course through the
door, struck nail, split, and carried pieces
of the nail with it, thus causing four wounds,
supposed to have been caused by other shots.
There had been disagreement with the
miners a few days ago, which caused the be-
lief that the first report of riot and assas-
sination was true. 1t is known now that
there was nothing of this nature whatever
connected with the affair, and the miners
deeply regret the sad result of terrible mis-
take of the guard. Governor Robinson's re-
mains will lie in state at Leadville to morrow,
at Denver Wednesday, and then be taken to
his former home in Michigan for burial.

RumOred Army Changes.
WASHINGTON, November 29th.-It is again
reported, on what seems to be good author.
ity, that a number of important army
changes will take place soon after the assem-
bling of Congress- Major General Mellow
ell. Brigadier. General Ord, Inspector Gen.
eral Marcy. Surgeon General Barnes and
Quartermaster. General Meigs-all of whom
are eligible for retirement-will, it is gener-
ally believed, retire from active service, and
there are many competitors already in the
field anxious to FIJI the prospective vacancies.
Brigadier- General o. o. Howard is said to
have been ordered here with view to pro-
noting him to Major Generalship as Nc
Dowell's successor. General Miles, if not
appointed Chief Signal Officer, will have a
good prospect to succeed Ord as Brigadier-
General General Hazen's friends are urging
him for Chief Signal Officer, but are ready to
fall back upon 0rd's Brigadiership, or, as
still another alternative, some of them are
suggesting his appointment as Quartermaster-
General. Generals Buckner and ingalls, are
both in pursuit of Meigs' place, however, and
the formers chances are said to be good.
Chief Medical Surveyor Baxter is understood
to have the inside track for the appointment
of Surgeon General.
