A ABaseless Rumor.

@ CHICAGO, Nov. %. Investigation shows
that the rumor sent rom here to New York
to the effect that Keep, of the Northwestern,
and Riddle, of the Rock Island, were on their
way to New York on a lightning train with
the track cleared for them, to patch up q
q stock jobbing scheme. The facts are that
Keep and Hughett left for New York yester-
day, and should be in that city now. Officers
,of the road state that the trip was made on
ordinary business, and had nothing whatever
to do with the war on rates. Riddle was
here at o'clock tonight. President Gable,
of the Rock Island, says no meeting to FIX up
a peace is in prospect in New York, here, in
Minneapolis, st. Paul, or anywhere else.

Window For The Presidency.
4 WARRINGTON, Nov. 23.-Just at present the
name Of Senator William Window il mem
toned with more confidence by the shrewd
ones than that of any other person in oon-
nection with the republican nomination for
president in 1884. A knot of gentlemen were
discussing the subject recently, one of whom
is western senator, and the latter said:
'Windom is growing man and in my estl-
nation the most available presidential can
ddate in the republican rauks. The party ls
at present badly torn by internal dlssenslons,
and the only hope of success in 1854 IL can
didate who can unite all factions. This be-
ieve Window can do. The Blaine men would
rally around him in solid mass, and believe
he would be accepted by the salwarts az q
compromise His record as senator and f1nan
cier is everything that could be asked, and
his reputation as citizen is irriproachable.
OF course, much depends upon the endorse
ment by a reelection to the senate this win
ter, but fortunately there appears to be no
trouble on that score. Window would be a
particularly strong candidate for the reason
that he would be invulnerable against demo-
cratic attacks" The remarks of the senator
quoted seemed to impress his hearers, and it
was generally admitted that no one could
more certainly lead the party to victory in
1854 than Senator Window.

Jay Gould Speaks

New York, Nov. 22-Jay Gould, in talk
with reporter to-day, said he thought the
decline in stocks had gone further than any
element in the situation would warrant. An
uneasy feeling as to what the policy of the
government might be with regard to the
arisen, and this uneasiness had resulted in
calling loans to large extent, which
necessitated extensive liquidation. For
his own part he had not been
purchasing stock until within the past week,
but was now buying and should continue to
buy stocks to hole, ,as they were cheap enough
to pay a good return for those who could
take care of them. Speaking generally of
the railway situation Gould said the roads
were never in so good a condition to do tho
business of the country as at present, as they
had all taken advantage of the prosperity of
the last few years TO perfect their equip
ments, and put them into first-class order.

WASHINGTON, Nov. q. The annual report
of Fourth Auditor Beardsley shows that the
aggregate payments on account of the navy
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1882, were
a little less than the aggregate appropriation
made by congress for that year. Some OF
the appropriations over expenditures and de-
fciencies were provided for at the last sss-
sion ofScongress. Disbursements amounting
to more than $4,000, 900 have been made
without loss for tho support of the service in
foreign waters Bills of exchange were sold
amounting to $1,767, ,723. of which 81 ,305, 1877
was drawn on our agents in London, and
$412,586 on the secretary. or the navy. This
latter sum ia more than double that Of the
previous year, and indicates an improved
condition of our foreign trade and credit
The appropriations of sum in gross for the
entertaining the board of visitors at the
naval academy is pronounced unwise. and q
bill of items is given as an illustration, it
having been made at the last meeting of the
board. Some of the expenditures in the bill
are: Carriage, 500; barber, SIS; expense
cards, 81; umbrellas, $50; glass, So; flowers,
s.; ice, 1928; telegraphing, 81; fruit, $82;
ice cream and cake, SOL; wine, liquors and
mineral water, $3.50; cigars, $252, and other
expenses, which are given in detail, making
the total So. .189. The remainder Of the $2,-
600 appropriated was exhausted in the pay
ment of mileage. For the further improve
ment Of the civil service in the departments
in Washington, the auditor suggests the fol-
lowing provisions of law: First, the rule
now applicable to the treasury department,
requiring that appointments be SO arranged
that they shall be equally distributed be-
tween states according to population, should
be applied to all executive departments.
Second, when vacancies are to be filled or
new appointments made, states or congress
sional districts entitled to them, should fur
nish candidates competitive homo examin-
alton, thus saving the time of heads Of de-
partments and congressman, and both time
and money to applicants. Third, 9 fixed
tenure of Office of five or seven years, during
which the appointee could no be removed ex-
cept for inef6ciency or bad conduct, Fourth,

Tar friends of Gilmore, the Deadwood
murderer who is under sentence of death,
have succeeded in getting another respite for
him. A special to the Pioneer Press says:
One of the hardest struggles for life ever
made is now making in the case Of James
Leighton Gilmore, who is now undsr death
sentence at Deadwood for numbering the
Mexican bull whacker, Bioente Oriz in June,
1879. Gilmore has been respited four times
since July, and Gov. Ordway, by direction OF
the president, to-day issued another reprieve
staying the execution from next Friday until
Dec. Is. Gilmore has the strongest kind OF
influence at work in his behalf, or rather his
friends have, for he himself is said to be in
different as to his fate. He has 3 brother
who 10 said to be an able and popular naval
officer. And hosts of naval officers, besides
the leading officials of Ohio, have urged q
communication of sentence, and his relatives
positively assert that the boy, as they call:
him his age is twenty -four J, is not morally
responsible for his actions. The president
has twice deoided to let the sentence be car
4 ried out, but the pressure upon him has been
rs strong that he has been induced to order
