Washington, Dec. 1.-THE Washing
ton politicians apropos of the nomi-
nation of Lawysr Brewster as attorney
general, are commenting, On the fact
that not one of the three new members
of the cabinet selected by President
Arthur has presidential aspirations, or
so far as a now be judged, is likely to
have any such aspirations. This fact
is noted as a new departure in the di-
rection of procuring harmony in cabi-
net couusels, While tle president has
selected men of acknowledged ability
in the republican party, he has thus far
apparently guarded against the danger
Of "A split being created by his counsel
lors, entertaining a belief that president
lightning is playing in their vicinity. 1t
is generally understood by politicians
who are nearest to him, that when the
cabinet is completed, no presidential
timber will be found in its composition.
or course it is suggested that n or
A rthu"s motives Of thus exclud-
ing presidential timber from his cabi-
net is to promote his own chances for
the nomination in 's4; but his intimate
friends say he does not now entertain
that idea.
At a meeting of the Washington
monument commission Arthur was in
vited by the engineer, Col. Casey, to go
to the top of the unfinished structure in
the workmen's elevator, which Casey
remarked is the highest elevator in the
world. The president replied that he
would be glad to do so some day, but
~jocularly added, ''the height is no in
ducement," for said he, as If pointing to
piles of applications for Office and indi-
eating to the crowds Of Office seekers
outside the executive office, 81 don't
want any furthur elevation, I have
enough Of this"

Denver, Dec. 1.-THE Tribune's
Leadville special contains the following:
Independence, a mining camp, 20 miles
west of here, has for a long time been
overrun with desperate characters, who
kept it in a perpetual state of turmoil.
Often several of these would band to-
gether and virtually take possession of
the camp, shooting men down in the
streets and closing the stores, blocking
business for several hours. Shortly af-
ter dark last night Patton and Mallory,
two desperadoes having the repution of
killing a number of men, becoming in
toxicated started up the streets firing
r~evolvers promiscuously. A general in
.dignation ensued and the people turned
out en- masse and pursued the despera-
does, who were finally bought to bay
and literally riddled with bullets. They
returned the fire of the mob, but with
effect. A little later a vigilance
committee was formed for the purpose
of hanging three or four of the worst
blacklegs, but that class had nearly all
took fright and left the town imme-
after the shooting Of Patton and
Mallory.

Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE Journals
Springfield, In.l special says: Letters
from Mrs. Abraham Lincoln to her
friends in this city convey the sad news
that the afflicted lady has completely
lost the use of her eye sight; she was
unable to write and her letters are
written at her dictation by an attend
ant. She does not say what caused this
new trouble o how serious it may be
expected to prove. Mrs. Lincoln says
that her eyes are so weak she cannot
see, and beyond that fact nothing more
is known Of her condition. No trouble
has ever been experienced heretofore by
Mrs. Lincoln with her eyes; she has
been accustomed to sitting in a dark
room, which may have caused the weak
ness. No mention of general health
was made, except that she was very
weak,

Vienna, Dec. 17.-Oficial reports
of the Ring theater disaster says: The
chief engineer asked two policemen at
the main entrance of the theater
whether there was anybody within, and
received the reply that the whole audi
ence had left safely. This statement is
apparently confirmed by the fact that
no persons were seen at the entrances
of the building. The men of the fire
brigade subsequently made a way to the
galleries, but the air was ~suffocating,
and it was impossible to penetrate the
papagoes as the torches went out for the
want of oxygen and the iremen were
unable to breathe. The report ex-
presses the conviction that the victims
died speedily from ~suffocation.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE interior

they have formally petitioned for, be-
cause of the lack of funds.
Three hundred vaccine points have

consin are scourged with small pox, and

roam and care for themselves as best
they can.
Inspector Hayworth has arrived in
the city and was at the interior depart
ment to-day. In an interview he says
in all his experiences he never knew but
one Indian who had been in Washing

impressed on the Indians visiting the
capital as to deter them from entering
into a war with the government.
The greenbackers in convention are
determined to join any party element in
the house that will approve the restric-
tion Of silver coinage. Representative
Ladd said tonight, "H the democrats
take a sensible stand on this question
they can carry the next congress. The
east as well as the west is opposed to
the restriction Of silver coinage, and
the ADMINISTRATION has made. a big mis-
take in recommending it. Every green
back member will vote against it."
Among the S67 bills introduced in
the house yesterday, was n by Town

tuition or apply for admission as a state
into the union until it shall contain a
population equal to that required in a
congressional district, in order to enti-
tie it to representation in the house of
representative. This bill is of course
primarily intended to head off the ex-
pected applications from Dakota and
Washington territories, and would
also doubtless apply to New Mexico.

Washington, Dec. 17.-By the means
of a number of individual changes quiet
ly made yesterday and to-day the mem
bership of the senate committees has
been finally established for the present
session, and the Pacihc coast senators
are provided with committee positions
as follows, the republicans obtaining
of course the greater number, because
the organization of the senate was con
trolled by this party. Miller is made
chairman of the committee on the re-
vision Of laws and a member of the
to foreign relations on naval affairs,
mines and mining, epidemic and DIS
ease. Farley is assigned to three i'm
portant committees, of commerce,
naval affairs and postoffices and post
roads. Jones Of Nevada, holds tie po-
sitions on the finance, commerce, mines
and mining, civil service and contin-
gent expenses committees. He is
chairman of the last named committee
and second on commerce. Fair is a
member of the committees on mines
and mining, claims and education and
labor. Grover serves on public land,
railroads, and military and states, and
holds places on Indian affairs, agricul-
ture and pensions. Hill of Colorado is
chairman Of mines and mining, and
a member of four other committees,
viz: Public lands, postofice and post
roads, civil service andNicaraugua canal
and claims. Teller is chairman of the
pensions committee and is included in
the membership of the committees on
the judiciary, on claims and on rail-
roads. The mining committee for the
first time in many years is now con-
trolled by senators of practical mining
experience, its total membership be-
ing Hill, Jones, Miller, Van Wyck, Fair,
Hampton and Camden. In view of
the fact that the Chinese immigration
bills and the Nicaraugsa canal bill
have been placed in charge of the COM
mittee IN foreign relations, its present
membership is of special interest to the
Pacific coast and is therefore subjoined
in full: Window of Minnesota, chair
man; Miller Of Colorado; Ferry Of
Michigan; Edmundsl of Vermont; Lap
ham Of New York; Johnson of YER
ginia; Morgan of Alabama, Hill of
Georgia and PentletOn. of OHIO

RAMPANT RIOT.
Party of Kansas Cowboys Take
Possession Of a Town,
Bidding Defiance to Law and Order.
and Shooting the Officers.


Wellington, Kas., Dec. II. The
town of Coldwell is in the hands of a
cowboys mob. The officers are power
less to do anything. Mike Meagher,
formerly mayor of the city, but lately
marshal, is killed. The sheriff, with a
posse, from this place, has just started
to tue scene of the trouble.
LATER -Coldwell, Dec. 17.-One of
those terrible border shooting ARRAYS
occurred in this city about n O'Clock
this afternoon, resulting in the death
of Mike Meagher, formerly mayor Of
this city, and Geo. Speer, a gambler.
The full particulars cannot be obtained
even at this late hour, but it seems that
last night and this morning a party of
cowboys, Sheenan, alias Talbot, Jim
Martin, Bob MunsiDg, and Bob Big
tree, with Geo. Speer and a fellow
named Lowe, were drinking together
and carousing, and about eight O'Clock
this morning they began to show a dis
position to raise a row, and as a pre-
liminary move Geo. Speer shot off his
revolver into the sidewalk, on the main
street. Through the efforts of the
police the disturbance was suppressed,
and as a precaution additional police
men were placed on duty, among them
Mike Meagher. About one O'Clock the
party above named turned loose. and
began to shoot Unfortunately. Tai
bot shot Meagher from the rear of the
bank building, killing him instantly.
The citizens turned out at once, with
such guns as they could get hold of,
and attempted to take in the party,
who in the meantime had proceeded to
a livery stable and compelled the a
in attendance to give them horses, and
mounted and started off. Speer was
attempting to saddle a horse near the
Red Light dance house, and while do
ing so was shot by some one of the citi-
Zens. At. H.r Ill& tltk#
The others struck off in the direction
of Hunnewell, and about two miles east
struck south. A party of citizens fol-
lowed, and at last accounts were in
sight Of the four cowboys. 1t is likely
they will be taken, and If brought back
alive nothing will I've them from pull
ing hemp. The excitement here is in
tense, and the present dispo ,ition is to
make the aiders and abettors of the
murderous gang pull out from this
neighborhood.
Jim Talbot, who shot Meagher in the
fight with cowboys was one of the lead
ers of the element that wanted to hang
Danford without giving an opportunity
to settle, and was n of the leaders of
the party who took Danford from the
sheriff at this point.
Dave Speer belonged to the Speer
family of Caldwell, who are engaged iu
the liquor and dance house business.
Dave was arrested during last year,
charged with shooting and killing
Frank Hunt, marshal of Caldwell,
through the window of a dance house,
but was discharged for lack Of evidence,
and was hardly 20 years old.
Latest accounts are that the Gov
boys are surrounded in the timber some
IL miles south of Caldwell. Rumors of
an engagement In which three or four
citizens and two cowboys were killed,
were rife, but nothing definite can be
learned. W wiz Ts54 ~

sage between the two oceans can in no

an interest in maintaining the free use

The fund promoted by the lord mayor

Irish ladies now amounts to 81, 300.
Herbert Gladstone, junior lord of the
treasury, speaking at Manchester last
evening said he found during his tour
that there was very great exaggeration
in England in regard to the condition
of Ireland. The alarmists, he said,
took their standard from the worst
county. The arrests had produced
striking and remarkable impression in
the districts where they were made. He
blamed the landlords for not co-operat-
ing with the government in taking
strong measures. He did not think
that more coercion was needed, and
the talk Of martial law was absurd.
Alteration of the jury system would
now be worse than useless. The mo
rent movement was not deep rooted,
and RAJ only kept up by intimidation.
He believed the prospect was distinctly
favorable.
