Especial to the SENTINEL

London special says It has transpired
that the sudden calling together of the
| British Cabinet yesterday afternoon was
| caused by receipt of alarming intelligence
from Ireland. Two questions we're dis
cussed by the Ministers. One was the
Basuto war, and the other was the conf
Dental report of the Irish Government.
Mr.. Forster announced that the intelli-
gence from Ireland was of a disquieting
character, although the attitude of the
people appeared to be tranquil on the
surface. Mr.. Forster stated that accord
ing to information in possession of the
Irish Government, the tranquility of the
people had increased the uneasiness of the
authorities. who regard it as the lull be-
fore the storm. Information in possession
Of the Dublin Castle authorities caused
them to believe that an insurrectionary
outbreak may be expected at any moment.
Mr.. Parnelrs present attitude was regard
ed with disquiet his apparent inactivity
was thought to indicate that he anticipated
the Inauguration Of a movement of a diff
ferent nature from that which he has been
connected with. His two visits to Paris
are regarded as inexplicable, the Govern
ment not having been able to assign any
sufficient reason for them.
The Chandler end McVeagh Matter.
WASHINGTON, March 80. - The Star
prints the following upon good authority !:
When the President intimated to the At
torney General that he contemplated APP
pointing VIM. E. Chandler as Solicitor
General, Mr.. Mcyeagh, according to this
authority, said Mr.. President, the nomi-
nation will be exceedingly distasteful to
me. l hope you will reconsider your in
tention to make the nomination, for if it is
made l shall probably resign. A few days
afterward the nomination was sent to the
Senate. Thereupon the Attorney General
called upon the President and said: The
nomination of Mr.. Chandler having been
sent to the Senate, and in view of the fact
that l intimated that in the event of its
going in that | should resign, I can only
suppose that my resignation will be ac-
ceptable. The President said the Attorney
General misunderstood the situation, and
further declared that he did not under
stand hat McVeagh had declared to him
that he would resign if the Chandler
nomination went in. The Attorney Gen
eral said that such was his position, and
he was sorry if the President misunder-
stood it. The President said he certainly.
did. Tit matter is now in this shape.
According to the same authority, if the
nomination Of Chandler is confirmed, At
torney General Mcveagh will resign /; il
not he will act. 1t is said, however, that
il McVeagh does resign the President will
appoint Chandler Attorney General.
Proceedings In the Senate.
WASHINGTON, March 30.-In the Senate
yesterday Johnston said he would not an
swer Mahone's speech until it should ap-
pear in the Record.
Hampton denied that in South Carolina
the Democrats had repudiated the State
debt. II there had been any reputation
it was by Mahone's friends, the Republic
cans, when they controlled the State. The
Democrats opposed the proposition to
change the officers of the Senate because it
would break presidents, because the Sem
ate was here for executive business, and
chiefly because grave suspicious had taken
hold of the public mind that there had
been a corrupt bargain. Malone had de-
MED that there had been any impure con-
sideration. He congratulated Malone, and
would say that he would strengthen his
position before the country by showing
what consideration had moved him.
1t was due to this body that the suspicion
should be proved groundless. Let the Re-
publicans organize a committee and ascer-
tain the truth or falsity of the rumors that
a vote had been controlled by the promise
of place or patronage. If the damning
charges were untrue, stamp out the Ca
lumny forever. If true. the Constitution
gave ample redress. He referred to SINH
lar charges against Clay and Adams, which

had risked his life to vindicate his honor,
and Randolph, who brought the charges,

he referred to the magnanimity of the
Democrats in allowing Kellogg to retain
his seat. 1t now appeared that Kellogg and
Malone were not only the leaders but the
masters Of the Republican party. They had
crossed hands across the bloody chasm,
and were clamoring for the old flag, and
an appropriation. He sympathized with
the good old State OF Virginia, and could
not doubt that her true voice would soon

cal integrity. A motion for an executive

How Chandler Incurred Ssoveagsass
Displeasure.
WASHINGTON, March 3d. Chandler in
CURED Mcveagh's displeasure by writing a
letter at the beginning of Hayes Admin
istration. making a bitter attack on Nc
veagh and other visiting statesmen. Conk-
ling is doing all he can to foment the dis
cord about Garfield. The stalwarts are
striving TO gain absolute control of the
President, and if they succeed Blaine can
not remain in the Cabinet. A distinguished
Senator, a friend Of the President, has
urged him to withdraw Robertson's nomi-
nation. Already the politicians are charging
Garfield with vacillation. timidity and
broken faith. He is accused Of being
another Hayes.
The Platte Valley Humiliation.
OMAHA, March 30.-It is impossible as
yet to procure more than meagre facts
about the condition Of the towns in Platte
Valley inundated, owing to the fact that
the telegraph lines are only partially re-
built. Three lives are known to have been
lost, but it il believed that a number more
persisted. The loss of property and stock
counts up in the hundreds OF thousands. |
1t is intended now to run the Union Pa
ciio trains through direct by Friday.
