Explaining the Cznr's Manifesto.
st. Petersburg, May 19.-Gen. Igna-
tieff, successor to Gen. Melikoff, has
addressed circular dated to-day, to
the governors of the provinces, explain
ing the principles of the imperial mani
festo and announcing the views of the
government on the internal condition
of the country. 1t refers to the dark
sides of the present state of society, the
irreligious education of the youth, the
inactivity of the authorities, the indif-
ference of many holders of public
offices to the general welfare, and their
avaricious management of public prop
erty. Herein, it says, is to be found
the explanation Of the painful fact that
the great reforms introduced by the last
government did not yield the full bene-
6t the deceased emperor had the right
to expect. None but an autocrat
strong in the attachment and unbound
ed love of the great people, can, even
with the enlightened cooperation of
the best sons of the fatherland, success

New York, May 1S.-The Times edi-
torially says: Our dispatches from
Albany show plainly enough that any
hope of prompt vindicationn of the
reslgnirg senators, which may have
been entertained, has been already dis
sipated. Whatever the legislature may
finally do in the matter, the general
sentiment is by no means eagerly Iespon-
sive to the appeal of Conkling and Plat.
Even in the ranks of those who have
been regarded as the friends of Conk-
ling, there is considerable hesitation as
to the advisability Of recommitting to
his charge the trust which he has so
gratuitously thrown down. In WASH
ington affairs are going with degree
of calmness. age

VIII Never Try Again.
San Marcial, Texas, May 1S.-An
outward bound stage of the Pioneer
line was stopped by two masked men,
20 miles southwest of here, about noon
yesterday. They advanced with guns
aimed at the driver, Pete Donnelly, and
both shot as they called to him to halt.
Charles McConkey, one of the proprie-
tors of the stage line, and w. II. Berry,
a passenger, were on top of the stage
near the driver, and on seeing the des-
peradoes they drew Winchesters and
fired, downing both. One lay still, but
the other raised three times, trying to
shoot at the driver, but he was quieted
by second ball from McConkey. Nc
Conkey then fastened paper ON one
of them, on which was written, "a
failure on the part of stage robbers"
The stage being full, the robbers were
left as they fell and the stage driven to
Black Range.
To-day the bodies were brought to
this place, where they now lie. Some
Mexican had stolen the boots off one of
the dead robbers. They had nothing
on their persons by which they could be
identified. Both are very hard looking
customers. 1t is thought they belong
to a band of horse thieves, part of
whom were arrested with stolen horses
in their possession, but bought off the
Mexican justice and were acquitted.

tion is confident, and its confidence is
based upon assurances from ali parts of
New York. that the republican party
of that state sustains the nomination of
Robertson and the presidents course
in regard to him; that the New York
republicans now consider it their duty
to prevent any division in the party,
and that the only way to do this is to
support the administration. Therefore
it is believed that if the issue made by
Conkling is submitted to the people
next fall in the choice of legislature,
they will elect a body virtually in
structed TO choose senators who will
support the administration and labor
for the success of the republican party.

Albany special says: There is evident
Generalization in the ranks of the
Conkling men to-day. Everett, strong
machine man. comes out for the presi-
dent, and others are likely to do the
same before night. Many will hold
that the vindication should come from
the people.
Two papers are afioat to-day, one
agrees that the signers will stand by the
president, while the other pledges them
not to vote for Conkling, Platt, or any
other opponent Of the president. 1t is
asserted that they win receive the
names Of so legislators this afternoon.
Petitions, dispatches, etc., from all
quarters, are pouring in, protesting
against Conkling's reelection. which
must be disappointing to the planners
of the teapot tempest of Monday. sA
1t is claimed tonight that there have
been signatures enough attached to
make it utterly impossible to elect
Conkling and Platt, and the anti
Conkling section are exceedingly jubi-
liant. The stalwarts exhibit depres-
sion, though some Of them are exceed
ingly bitter. They are very reticent.
The Commercials Albany special
says Evidently the Robertson men are
going to make strong fight against
the stalwart majority and the confirma-
tion Of Robertson will materially add to
their strength. 1t ispretty certain that
Conkling will stand entirely aloof from
the struggle, and there is report that
he has placed in the governors hands
positive refusal to accept "a re-elec-
tion under any circumstances. The
chances now favor q combination by
which staiwart and anti stalwart viii

uperstitious darkies picnicking
near Bartlett. 1t got out during
the darkest part of the eclipse that
Mother Shipton's prophecy was
coming to pass. Some one went
into camp and said, In a hollow,
awe-inspiring tone: "fhis is the
beginning of the end! The prophet
has declared that the world shall
be no more! Pray, ye sinners,
pray! for darkness covers the land
this night of the full moon, and
the judgment hour is nesr!D The
picnickers had not heard of the
eclipse, and several of the crowd
groaned. Then couple Of mules
broke; then woman screamed.
