Avery Brief Honeymoon.

BALTIMORE, April 9.-Miss Cecilia Crehan, prepossessing young woman of twenty years, was married Tuesday evening to John Petrie, a well to do farmer, fifty five years of age. Yesterday MT. Petrie was found dead. The whole top of his head had been blown of by a gun shot. By the side of Petrie's body WAS an old musket, with string attached to the trigger. It was evident that Petrie had placed the muzzle of the gun in his mouth, and with his foot, by means of the string, pulled the trigger MT. and Mrs. Petrie were the per sons who year ago created a stir by the sud den breaking of of marriage engagement. The brides trousseau was bought, the guests bidden to the wedding and the feast prepared, when MT. Petrie fstly refused to be married, and more or less pacifed the young lady by a gift of 5000. Miss Crehan's sister went to Europe the day after the rupture, and the young lady joined her little later, and the two spent several months in foreign travel. Petrie said that his only reason for breaking with the young woman was the disparity of age between them. He professed for her the greatest respect and admiration, and this he proved by renewing his attentions as soon as she got home,

WASHINGTON, April

WASHINGTON, April g.
 The Postofice department has succeeded in having periodicals from the United States ex- empt from custom duties in Canada. The implication of such duties has been subject of complaint for some time on the part of American newspapers and dealers.
 The fact that Representatives King and Acklen, of Louisiana, are both absent from this city gives rise to rumor that duel be- tween them is impending. Friends of both parties declare the rumor false, and say they have gone to attend political conventions iu their districts.
 The Senate in executive session to-day con frmed the following nominations: Joseph B. AngeIl, of Michigan, to be envoy sxtraor- diuary and minister plenipotentiary of the United States to China; John Swift, of Cali fornia, and William H. Trescot, of South Carolina, to be commissioners to China, to constitute with the envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the United States to that country, commission to negotiate and conclude by treaty the settlement of such matters of interest to the two Governments now pending between the same as may be confded to it.

Democratic Caucus-VieVgS on the Or
 der Of Business-The SPOfford.Aet-
 IOgg Case.
 WASHINGTON, April 9--The Democratic Senators this morning held another caucus meeting on the order of business. The cau- GUS, after an hours discussion, adjourned un- til tomorrow without taking action, but the general sentiment to-day, as at yesterday s meeting, was evidently in favor of giving pre- cedence to the Geneva Award bill and such appropriation bills as may be ready, after it shall have been disposed of, thus leaving the Spoford- Kellogg case to take it's chances of obtaining consider ation in the Senate this session or to go over to the next session, just as the condition of public business may hereafter seem to render advisable. Senators Jonas of Louisiana, Hill of Georgia, and Saulsbury, Vance and Vest took the ground that the Spoford- Kellogg case could not properly be post poned. They were opposed to any evasion of the issue and wanted the Democratic par ty to have and show the courage of convictions They insisted that it was plain that Senator Kellogg had no right to his seat, and that the majority should not hesitate to seat Judge Spoford.

 ST. PETERSBURG, April 9.-The St. Peters burg Gazette publishes leader to-day on the Russo Chinese question, and, in referring to the fact that 10000 Chinese are known to have crossed to the Russian frontier recently, says that they were only laborers. Therefore the war rumors which certain journals and politicians on the continent insisted in evoly- ing from their action are wholly without jus tifcation. Russia and China, says the Ga zette, will doubtless be able to settle all their differences without resort to arms, no matter how much such a result would gratify par ticular group of politicians.

 LONDON, April 9.-The proposal to tender an ovation to MT. Gladstone on his return from Scotland meets with such popular and influential support that it is believed he will hardly be able to refuse to accept it. Many prominent Liberals of this city and through cut the country express the opinion that in case of so signal a victory for party as the late elections have witnessed Gladstone owes 1t to his friends to throw aside for the moment his disposition to decline a reception, and Der init them to signify their sense of obligation the Liberal party is under to the man with out whose able and eloquent efforts it would scarcely have succeeded

The West Point Outrage.

WEST POINT, April 9.-The examination in the case of Whitaker began this morning. Cadet Whitaker was the first witness exam ined His testimony agreed with his first | statement. He was cross-examined by the recorder. He said that during the affair he was making his best endeavors to prevent the outrage. He did not know what his hair was cut with, but thought it was pair of scissors. He could not tell what instrument was used in cutting his ears, but thought it was done by 8 single blade. He was tied with some kind of white string. His hands were tied in front of him. His wrists were tied so closely that it produced pain. He made every possible effort to get his hands free, but could only move his fin gers. He was lying on the floor partly on his right side. He had on drawers but no stockings The cords about his feet were bound around his ankle. His bedstead was of iron and very heavy, yet he thought he moved it when he kicked. It was impossible for him to kick himself free, owing to the pain he felt from the strongly tied cords. which left marks on his ankles and wrists. When the cords were loosened in the morning, his legs felt as if they were asleep. The numbness was quite while in disappearing. The cut on his toe caused lameness He heard no one advise that the name should be torn from the handkerchief He could not recognize the voices of his as- sailants, but they evidently disguised them. The mems hats were slouch but the brims were not very broad. The steps of the men sounded as if they had slippers on or were in their stockings. He did not suspect who his assaiIants were. He did not know whether they were cadets or not They were in citizens dress. He said he received two notes of warning since the arrest The second note came last fall. It simply read, 'Look out" Since he has been cadet he has had only one quar- rel where blows were struck, but has had TO trouble lately. He always felt that he would get through the academy. He wrote gloomy letter to his mother, telling her that unless she was sure of paying her rent before grad uation he would resign. The money was raised on his promising to pay after he graduated. He said the light the men had was candle or small taper. Several pieces of partly burned paper that were found in Whittakers room afterwards were shown him, but he could not recognize them as blank leaves from his Bible, but such may have been the case Adjourned till tomorrow.
 In an interview with several West Point of fcers and residents in regard to Whittaker's case there was a diversity of opinion, some giving credence to the cadets story, others accusing him of falsehood.

Bloody Battle 1n F-eru-1'ne ChiIe&ns
 Badly Cut Up-The Captain oE the
 Huascar Killed.
 NEW YORK, April 9.-Panama papers of the 31st ult. have two accounts of recent battle at Moquega, in Peru. One account states that the Peruvians surprised the Chileans and slaughtered whole regiment, driving others to the main body of the Chilean army, some miles distant.
 Another report states that the Chilean army attempted to surprise the Peruvians but were ambuscaded and badly routed. Out of 1,2OO men in crack regiment only 67 escaped. The total loss of the Chileens is reported to be 1 1900 killed, besides wounded and prisoners lost. Ten thousand troops have been ordered to reinforce tho Chileens.
 In the recent battle between the ironclads Huascar and Magellane and the Manco Capec and shore batteries, the Huascar lost twenty five men killed, including her captain and two other officers, besides losing her mizzen- mast and being hulled by several shots. The town was badly damaged, however, by the Augamas bombarding it at long range, several houses being torn to pieces and burned by shells, and large number of women and children killed.
 On the 14th of March the Chilean fleet destroyed all the gun-loading apparatus, launches and lighters at the Island of Lohos. They also landed a force of men and sack ed the stores of the English Loading Com papy. Some twenty vessels which were loading guano were forced to suspend oper- ations. The Chileans carried of the Govern or of the island, Colonel Alayza, the harbor master, and the few soldiers and sailors at the place.
 Two ships then proceeded to Eten, little town on the adjacent coast, and without warning opened fire upon it. throwing five shells into the town, and two shots were di- rected against the railway wharf. Fortunate ly no one was injured. The only available war vessel belonging to Peru is on an import ant expedition to the south.
