Garfield Becoming Wrathy-Robertson
VIII Hold the Fort
WASHINGTON, April 6.-The action OF
the President to-day in sending in nom-
nations for several important places,
such as the Indian Commissioner, indi-
Gates his purpose to throw upon the
Senate the entire responsibility Tor the
failure to confirm, or injurious delay IN
confirming the nominations. At the
same time the President sympathizeS
with the movement TO encourage Ma
hone and all the other disatfected ele-
ments of the Democracy in the South.
He expressed hinselito to colOred Nir-
ginia delegation as heartily in accord
with the policy OF dIsrupting and divld-
ing the Southern Democracy, but the SEN
! ate dead lock is beginning TO have an
embarrassing effect upon the admlnls-
ton work, and the President thinks, so
il is said ON good authority, that some oil
the combinations will be made without
weakening the Republican position:
Rumor is again circulated to-day that II
the dead lock continues much leLger,
the President will call an extra session
of Congress, but this il not credited.
Senator Robertson, of New York, has
notified his friends here that most em-
! phaticaly he will not consent to the
withdrawal of his name unless the Pres
| ident requests it. Mr.. Robertson will
fight TO the end and will win. Two
| thirds of the Senate will unite to con-
\ firm him.

wasHISGroN, April G. 6.-Iesterday al
ternOon, while thousands Of people
were tnjoying the Jokes and antics OF the
clown in Forepaugh's circus, an event
\ occurred in one a the cages that was as
unexpected as it is unusual. In a cage
were lion and tigress, separated from
each other by an iron grating. The IT,
yress gave birth to a cub, upon seeing
which the lion, with his eyes sparkling
fire, made spring for the grating and in
few seconds had the cub in his paws.
Tie deyoared him with great relish,
while the mother, with evident distress
pictured in her countenance, and resting
iu eouchant position, saw her offspring
furnish dainty meal for his royal mai
esty. The keeper was attracted by the
noise OF the tragedy, but arrived only In
/ time to see the infant destroyed.
