THE MISSISSIPPI IMPROVEMENT.
The examination of General Wright, chief

ion, previously expressed by him, that the
theory and plans upon which the river COM
mission was conducting the work of protecting
the banks and contracting the width of the
river is the best plan of all for the improve
ment of the navigation of the river. He be-
lieved it to be the duty of the commission I'M
der the organic act to improve the navigation
of the river rather than to protect the lands
upon the banks.

two additional votes in the senate. There

was lift open for the present. The subject o.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.

In the senate, the bill to increase pay O
navy chaplains, rejected. Bill to provide fol
the ascertainment of the claims of American
citizens for French spoiations, but had tc
give way to Pendleton's civil service bill.
Horn warmly advocated the passage of the
civil service bill.
Brown (dem.), opposed the bill and gave
his fellow democrats talking to; he claimed
that the bill was to give the republicans per-
manent avenue to office.
George (dem. }, thought that Brown was
right, he was not so confident of demo-
cratic success in 1884, as Brown was.
Brown (dem.) admitted that if the demo-
Gratis won in 1884 they would turn every re-
publican out of office. From the discussion it
is evident that the democrats will kill the bill.
Civil service is not what they want-its the
Offices, at any cost.
In the House, Epson, of Texas, offered a
resolution calling on the postmaster general
for information in regard to failure of contrac-
tors to carry mails in 1882.
House went into committee of the whole on
postofice appropriation bill.
Reagan opposed reduction of postage. Just
like him-old moSsback.

Royal Palace Oh Fire--GladstOne Resigned
ROYAL PALACE ON FIRE.

| London, December I4.-Early this morn
ing, flames were discovered issuing from the
front windows of Hampton Court, the roya
palace at Hampton, five miles from London
The fire now, at II a. m. is progressing
| The Damage already done is very serious.
Some historical paintings have been destroyed,
| and it is believed many more will be injured.
The local fire engines are trying to conquer
the flames.
1870 p. m.-The fire broke out in a suite of
private apartments in the cloister. The local
fire brigade worked three hours and succeeded
in preventing the flames from extending. The
first account of the damage appears to be ex-
aggerated. A quantity of the property was
removed in time to save it. A woman was
suhocated by the smoke.
2:2o p. m.-The Times, in its second edi-
ton, gives the amount of the damage by the
fire at Hampton Court at many thousand
pounds. The fire is now subdued. The
Times says the picture gallery was all the
time threatened, and its contents were re-
moved.
About twelve rooms, situated in the east
quadrangle of Hampton Court, were scorched
by the fire. Two were actually burned. The
damage by the fire is roughly estimated at
( 5000, 600.
GLADSTONE RESIGNS.
The Pail Mall Gazette, this afternoon, says
it is authorized to state that Gladstone has re-
signed the CHARACTERISTIC of exchequer and
that Right Hon. Hugh c. Childers, secretary
of war, has been appointed to succeed him.
The changes in the ministry made necessary
by this arrangement are still under considera-
ton.
IMPORTANT ARRESTS.
Dublin, December I4.-Two important ar
rests were made this morning, in connection
with the murder of Lord Cavendish and IN
der Secretary Burke. Up to the present time
no information has been obtained concerning
the names or addresses Of the prisoners. A
private investigation, touching their arrest, is
nov being held at the Castle.
The names of the two men arrested this
morning in connection with the Phoenix Park
murders, are Byrne Pavier and Hanlan Leath-
err. One of them has been identified by per-
sons who were in Phoenix Park on the night of
the murder as one of the men seen on the car
in which the assassins escaped. Arrests were
made on the evidence of these informers.
WHAT WILL BE DONE FOR THEIR RELIEF.
Dublin, December I4.-The government
has issued a circular in regard to the disasters
in west Ireland, in which it is declared that it
is determined to rely solely on the administra
ton of relief through boards of guardians, as
it is satisfied that relief works are not only ex-
travagant and demoralizing, but often tail to
relieve the most needy. The government
will be prepared to empower boards of guar
dams to borrow money, if necessary, to meet
the pressure on their resources.
