ExLEY's ARnEsr.-Detective Exley put
in an appearance yesterday on the Nc.
Lure House corner, but kept so close TO
the building that the county constables
found It impossible to attack him in the
rear without moving the hotel. He says
he had no idea Of creating any coolness
between himself and his brother detec.
tives when he asked the City Ser
geant to humor his little joke
and accompany him TO the lookup,
but the cold unsympathetic look, which
Constable Love gave him when de-
clining to go his bail will be forever en-
craven on his memory. He expected bet
ter things OF William. AS TO the report
that the Sergeant had put in bill before
Council for shooting the two iron dogs
on the steps OF Twelfth street residence,
he knew nothing about 1t, except that the
dogs were dead. II anybody was inter.
ested in the matter an'inyestigation could
be called for.

WASHINGTON, January l5.-well in
formed Pennsylvanians. in this city do
not hesitate to express the belief that the
Grant boom there Is rapidly becoming a
boomerang; in other words, that II things
continue to go on as they have been going
elast two weeks tho Grant managers
will fail Of getting together convention
that will instruct. 1t is becoming appar-
ent that the people there do not back up
the leaders, a fact that called Senator Cam
eron home in considerable haste last
week.
Extraordinary means to secure the con.
vention have been adopted, to secure del
egates where the people are not for Grant.
In Lancaster county, for instance, the
county committee has about decided to
select the delegates as tho only way TO
carry out the plans Of those who forced an
early day for the convention, and to obtain
delegates to suit that plan.
Pennsylvanians here, on excellent terms
with Cameron, say that they know that
his second choice is Blaine, and further,
that it issignilicant that it is only within a
week that he has begun to talk about q
second choice.

A DECISIVE STEP TOWARDS REVOLUTION.
BosroN, January l7.-An Augusta spe-
cial TO the Herald says the whole aspect Of
affairs has changed and that hopes OF a
peaceable solution OF the dispute by the
decision OF the Supreme Court are blown
TO the winds by the attitude taken by the
Fusionists tonight. Soon after the points
Of the decision were received from
Bangor, the leading fusionists had con-
sultation with Gov. Smith and his staff,
and before 10 o'clock orders were issued
reyoking Gen. Chamberlain's commission
as commander Of the military forces, and
guardian Of the State property.
This order was taken to General Cham.
berlain by Gems. Falsom and Black, OF
the Governors Staff. The General re-
piled that he would return his answer in
the morning. Thus the matter rests.
From what Chamberlain has said It is
easy to infer what action he is likely to
take in the matter. Orders have been
sent to the commanding officers Of every
military company in the State, signed by
Joseph L. Smith, announcing that
Chamberlain is relieved from command
and directing them to obey no orders ex-
cept from Smith.
1t is likely thatSmith will neglect no
means to assert his authority. The Re-
publicans will be as little inclined to yield
as their opponents. The position OF Gen.
is most unenviable. 1t is
believed the affair will eventuate by neon
tomorrow, but in what manner it is i'm.
possible 10 predict.

fRouBLE BETWEEN RUSSIAN AND

BERLIN, January l6.-The reports OF a
Ssagleeable affair between Russian and
PLrssian officers at Kaliseke, Poland, are
tully confirmed, and elicit strong COM
a!snts in the military circles. The Russ
ans became SO excited they actually drew
