SENATOR VEST TALKS Politics.
He Is Absolutely Sure the Next Presi-

Senator George c. Vest was questioned
to-day by the Times correspondent on the
political situation. He said:

There is one sure thing in politics, how

''Tilden is a strong man, and would

everything. He is trying to compromise
all around, and the report that he and

SCHAEFER AT HIS BEST.
He Makes the Highest Average of the
Tournaments.

Tournament.
CHICAGO, April 5.-The afternoon game
in the balk line tournament attracted q
light audience, but it proved to be the
best game yet played, Schaefer had for
his opponent ''Joe'' Dion, who had waged
some money that Schaefer could not aver
age 20 against him, and who accordingly
studied safely throughout. 1t made no
difference, however, for neither had bad
breaks, nor the fact that Dion himself was
playing better than he had previously
done, could stifle Shaefer's splendid exc
cution and great command of the rail
for nursing. He made nearly five-sixths of
the total game in five separate innings,
and put on record the best average and
the quickest game ever played. Schaefer
scored 800, averaged 40, and his highest
run was 1855. Dion scored 24S, averaged
II 81, and his highest run was 50.
To-night's game was between DAILY and
Sexton, the latter being the favorite at
100 to 20. The character of the game
showed this estimate to be erroneous.
DAILY first played in strong force, while
Sexton was away below par. Daily took a
commanding lead in the early part of the
game, and was never headed. DAILY
scored 600, averaged 13 2-46, and his high
est was 50. Sexton scored 337, averaged
15-46, and his highest run was 73.

SOCIAL EVENT IN HIGH LIFE.
The Coming Marriage of Sir Stafford
NOrthcote's Son to Miss Edith Fish

Neao York Mail and Erpress
Fashionable circles are canvassing the
recently announced engagement between
Miss Edith Fish and Hugh Oliver North
cote, the fifth son of Sir Stafford North
cote, once Chancellor of the EXchequer.
He is in his twenty-ninth year, and is one
of eight children, his brother, Walter
Stafford NorthcOte, being heir to the title
of the Baronetcy. Sir Stafford Northcote
is the head of one of the oldest families
of cOmmoners in England. He is the
eighth Baronet, and succeeded to his title
in March, 1851. The family estate
at Hayne, in Devon, is very
valuable and the hall is one
of the finest buildings in Great
Britain. Miss Edith Fish is the youngest
daughter of eX-Secretary Hamilton Fish,
of this city. She is the only unmarried
child of the family, her sisters being Mrs.
Major Benjamin, now in Arizona; Mrs.
Rogers, who resides at the New York
Hotel, and Mrs. D'Hautville, recently de-
ceased. The sons of the family, Hamilton,
Jr., and Stuyyesant, married long since.
She is said TO be about twenty years of
age. To the members Of the several hunt
ing circles she is well and favorably
known as daring and expert horse
woman. OF medium height, showing a
trim, 1.-the figure, she sits her horse like
statute. A brunette in complexion, with
deep inquisitive eyes, and the full bloom
of health upon her cheeks, her face pre-
sents study for character rather than
beauty of feature.
Glenn Clyffe, the summer residence of
the family at Garrison's, affords Miss
Fish every opportunity to indulge in those
health-giying sports and pastimes to
which the American girl is yearly deyot-
ing more and more attention. She scours
the country round on horseback, and the
poor and sick of the neighboring hamlets
speak volumes in praise of her wisdom,
consideration and charity. The Summer
House for Poor Mothers, established at
Garrison's last season through the instru-
mentality of Rev. A. +. Gray, rector of
the Church of st. Philip, in the Highlands,
was one of her favOrite cares. Now that
Rev. Mr.. Gray has accepted the Deans
chair at Racine College and Miss Edith's
engagement is announced. the outlook for
the Summer Home for the coming season
is somewhat cloudy

PARIS, April 5.-The report of an inter-
view with General de Gallifet, which was
published in lie SOleu yesterday, has Gre
ated a profound sensation. General de
Gallifet, according to lie Solicit, declared
that all the heads of departments and the
sub-directors of the war office are the
sycOphants of the Communists, and that
the decree in regard to the autumn
cavalry man@uvre was prepared
with the assistance of Radical journalists.
General Thibaudin, he said, had recently
given him his word of honor that he should
not be deprived of any dignity. To-day
General DeGallifet has published an open
letter in which he impeaches the accuracy
of this interview. 1t is generally under
stood here that the compromise by which
the question of the cavalry maneuvres
was allowed to drop is merely to be con-
sidered as pOstponement of the rupture
in the Cabinet until the Chamber meets in
