The Gunnison Me7vs celebrated il

The Gunnison Me7vs celebrated its
first anniversary last week by publish
ing two wood cuts of it's Office build
ing as it was IN 1880 and as it is in
1881. From one story log hut to a
three-story brick with a glass front is
quite a change for newspaper firm
to make in the brief period of year,
and one would naturally suppose that
the Ntuy has been bonanza to its
owners. Such is not the case. Had
the Nezos depended on the profits of
the office to erect that three-story
brick, it would never have been
thought of. Not only this, but had
it depended on its earnings for an ex-
istence this winter, it is doubtful
whether half sheet" even would
have been published, while that " old
log cabin +" would have been too good
for it to day. The papers of this coun-
ty which have been the most success
full and are deserving Of praise, are
the Elk MOUNTAIN PnoT and Pitkin
Lnacbenasnt. Both papers were started
by men with little means, who had no
MIR. Bucks with plethoric pocket
books to- back them but notwithstand
ing this they have weathered through
hardships and privations such as the
proprietors Of the Ntvs never dreamed
of, and now they have the pleasure of
seeing their papers established on a
solid basis.

WASHOUT,

ST. LOUIS, May "A washout in the
Ohio and Mississippi railroad dyke on the
embankment in East St. Louis which con-
meets the island with the main land is
reported last night; it is about so feet
wide. The dyke is 1000 feet long and
runs parallel with, and three hundred feet
north of, what is known as Bowman S
dyke. The effect of the break was simply
to fill the space between two dykes with
water. The Bowman dyke has been
strengthened in its weak spots, its low
places raised, and it is believed to be capable
of withstanding the pressure upon it, but
should the river rise much more, the water
will overflow the dyke, in which case the
result will be disastrous, as this embank-
ment is the only barrier now between the
river and Capskea creek, and should it
break or overflow, the greater part, if not
all of East st. Louis would be inundated.
The river is still rising and general inun-
dation is imminent All railroad COM
panles and city authorities of East St.
Louis, are fully alive to the impending
danger, and are doing everything possible
to avert the threatened calamity

West He had received positive assuran-
ces that no humilition would be put upon
him and his friends in New York and that
ne would receive due consideration in all
matters of this kind, that affected the
interests OF the Republican party in New
York. The nomination of Judge Robert

The committee called on the President
and made known the attitude of the New
York Senators, suggesting that to avoid the
threatened rupture in the Republican party
he might withdraw Robertson's nomination.
The President assured them that in no
event, nor under any circumstances would
he withdraw Judge Robertson s name. He
acted for what he believed to be the best in
terests of the country and the Republican
party, and it was for the Senate to confirm
or reject the nomination.

The trial of NJ and Nine Friedman de
Friedland for forgery took place in Paris
on April 8. Nine. Friedman is the
daughter of Nine de Persigny, and the
great granddaughter of Marshal Ney and
of Lafitte, Louis Philippe's Minister. The
crime imputed to her and her husband is
that of having forged bills on Nine. de la
Moskowa, Nine. Friedmann's grandmother
The sum for which these bills were drawn
amounted in all to 10000 francs, of which
1913, 900 francs were discounted by Messrs.
Rotchchild. The defence of Nine. Fried
mann was that she was authorized to draw
the bills by her grandmother, and of III
Friedmann that he was unaware that the
signature was not the Princess's. The ac-
cused were both locked up for time, but
on their grandmother's death enabling them
to pay off their creditors they were set at
liberty. NJ. de Rothchchild, who was
called as witness, explained that he had
been On intimate terms with the Duo de
Persigny when he was Ambassador in Lon
don, and had consequently discounted the
bills without a very rigorous examination
The jury found a verdict of Not guilty.

NEW YORK, May, 2.-The Times dis
patch from Washington says:
The controversy growing out of the
nomination of Judge Robertson for New
York is regarded by Republicans Senators.
so far as the results are concerned, should
the issue be joined in the Senate over the
nomination, as having passed beyond a
mere question of the individual triumps of
the President or Senator Conkling and as
involving breach in the party in the
State OF New York and elsewhere, that it
would lead to disaster in the coming cleo
ton for the members of the next Congress.
II the nomination of Judge Robertson
is kept before the Senate Republican
Senators say that serious results will fol
low to the party, no matter what may be
the action of the Senate;s and the ques-
ton that Republican Senator will be called
upon to decide is, will the rejection or
confirmation be less disastrous in its re-
suits"
Conkling appeared by invitation before
the caucus and made a long and earnest
protest against the confirmation and to all
appeals declined to modify his opposition
IN the slightest degree. He was deter
mined, he said, to use every effort to de-
1eat the confirmation and so far as he was
concerned nothing short of the
withdrawal of Judge Robertson's
nomination would avert the struggle.
He would not unly fight the nomination in
secret session and at every stage, but should
