A study I'm Diplomacy.

Tho late secretary of state although q
diplomatic of extraordinary capacities, evil
IDENTIFY neglected the study of modern French
diplomacy, which might have been of great
service to him in his South American venture
We do not mean to assert that graduation
in tho French school of diplomacy would
have enabled him to have dictated terms to
Peru aud Chill, but that smattering of tho
modern French tinesse might have enabled
him TO manipulate affairs in a graceful, easy,
and seemingly agreeable way, so as to some
extent dsarm some of his critics. Mr. M. De
Boyens was the ambassador of the king Of the
Belgans at Paris during the presidency of M.
Grevy.
Madame Grevy, like some of our American
women, was fond of pets, and above all things
she adored cats, aud of course her affections
centered upon one particular cat
We would be glad, for the sake of the late
secretary and the distinguished corps of
diplomates who wero in his service during his
brief administration of the State department,
to describe this cat with some PARTICULARLY,
whether IL was gray, white, or black II II had
Maltesidn ancestors, the length Of its tail, and
if it were q female or tom cat History

IT really looks as though the New York
city republicans would rcorganize ON the
basis recently proposed by the committee of
eighteen appointed by the executive commit
tee of tho party to report plan. This is
consummation devoutly to be wished, and all
elements and factions ought to adopt it. If
primary elections are held under the proposed
new organization, no excuse will exist for re-
fusing to support the result. The suggestion
Of one of tho committee Of eighteen that the
ticket when made shall be supported or opposed
according to the caprice of each republican is
merely the introduction Of the anarchical
principle into party matters. OF course each
voter should reserve to himself tho right of
revolt, but when he exercises it he should do
it as a revolutionist, aud with willingness
to submit to the discipline it involves. Let
us hope that the right TO bolt will not be re-
sorted to hereafter, except ON such high
grounds as admit of no dispute as to tho sim
cerity of the bolter. The mere failure of the
party TO accept dictation from any quarter is
not evidence that it is wrong. The voters Of

The Naval Cadet Case.

In the court Of claims yesterday Chief JUS
tice Drake announced the decision Of the
court overruling the motions for q rehearipg
in the Leopold case. The original opinion is
thus allowed to stand as tho matured judg-
ment of the court, after hearing all the addi-

retary Chandler through the attorney gen
eral In his recent letter the secretary told
the cadet engineers that if the decision were

LADY DIXIE ASSAULTED.
HER CLOTHING TORN BY THE
DAGGERS OF ASSASSTNS.

A Faithful Dog Fights With the Muir
derers Over the Prostrate Form of His
Mistress and Saves Her Life-The As
sassiRs Disguised as Women-Their
Capture Not Effected.
LONDON, March 1S.-Lady Florence
Dixie was attacked at Windsor Yesterday
by two men disguisedin women's clothes.
Her dress was cut with daggers in sew
eral places but she received no injury.
Lady Florence was walking in a secluded
spot near the woods when the two men
asked her what time i was. She replied
that she had no watch and afterwards
noticed that though they wore
women's clothes their faces had been
shaved. Much alarmed, she started to
walk away and was followed by the men,
one of whom seized her. She struggled
to escape, but seeing their daggers, fell in
a swoon. This took place at 4 o'clock in
the afternoon and she did not recover her
senses until three-quarters of an hour
later.
Lady Florence has been prOstrated to-
day. The story of the affair was elected
from her only at intervals. The saving of
her life is attributed to her st. Bernard
dog, which, it is supposed, protected her
While she lay in the swo0n. Lady Flor
ence had no reason to suspect immediate
danger, although she had been somewhat
fearful since the receipt of letters about
the Land League. The last thing she re-
members is one of the meIf pushing a
quantity of mud into her mouth. On her
recovery she found that both of her
palms were cut across and her gloves
were severed. There were two dagger
holes, two inches apart, in the right
breast of her dress; broad steel corset
rib had been broken by the weapon,
which had penetrated to the inner
lining of her dress at the first
stroke, and to her corset at
the second stroke. Lady Florence sup
poses that she uncOnsciously struggled
with the men, assisted by her dog, until
the scoundrels were disturbed by cart
passing through the woods. She received
threatening letters while in Ireland re-
Gently. One of the men wore a green
dress and large hat with veil.

A FAMINE AFTER A FIRE.
Forest City, Cal, the Scene of Inde-
scribabIe Suffering.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, March IA
report from Forest City, Sioux county.
dated Friday, gives the following: ga
fire has destroyed the entire business DOR
ton of the town. Hundreds of persons
are homeless in the streets tonight.
Scarcely anything was saved and the
people barely escaped with their lives.
There are no provisions in the town ex-
cept what are contained in fire proof
cellar which is safe. One thousand
pounds of flour is all that is saved. and
much suffering must ensue before
the destitute can be provided for. Only a
lew small buildings on the outskirts of the
town are left. The Bald Mountain Com
pany's mine, buildings, dumps, lumber
house, lumber yards and flume are all
safe. This renders it possible for many
poor people to go to work as soon as they
get housed. Seventy-siX buildings were
burned, with an estimated loss of $3.50. 900.
1t is impossible to ascertain the
amount of insurance, but it is
believed that it is quite small. A
dispatch dated to-day says that gang of
Cinnamon stole half the flour left. and Or
ganized bodies Of men are now starting to
exclude or drive them from the town.
Everybody was provided with some food
and shelter last night, but all the teams
are gone, and any hour may bring snow
storm preventing all communications. Ne.
lumber can be had till teams can be
brought from the valley. The fire origi-
mated in the kitchen of the Forest House.
The water works were insufficient, and
the hre apparatus was in poor condition.

Spoils from a Burned Mansion offered

AeWLofE u. III SpGCfNfs ACfH.
At about nine O'Clock this evening
woman called at two jewelry stores and
in a very nervous manner offered for sale
a lady's hunting case gold watch at an
extremely low price-lOWer, even, than
the DrOprietoFs said il was worth. At one
of the stores, when asked if the watch be-
lOnged to her, she replied IN the affirma-
tive. At the other place she said that her
husband had found ii i'm the ruins Of the
Weaver villa, which was fired by Katie
Judd. who has since escaped from the
county Jail in company with George
Rounds, young burglar.

WINGED the woman had not come honestly

Katie Judd was the person who had
offered the watch for sale, and was deeply
chagrined to think that he had allowed
the reward offered for her arrest-$500-
TO slim through his fingers so easily.
When she left one of the stores young
man was seen to join her Immediately,
and the pair hurried away through a side
street. The police are searching the city,
but UP 10 late hour they had made no
report.
Mr.. Weaver says that the watch was
given to his daughter as present, and
he and his family believed that it was de-
stroyed in the fire. 1t will be remem-
bered that Katie fired the house after NIL

other articles belonging to Mrs. Weaver
and her daughters, and that she managed
TO save all her effects, while the house
and contents, valued at $4,000, were de-
strOved. He cannot believe that she is in
