RHODE ISLAND ELEC" Inv
sprag ne Defeated A Republican
Legislator 4,

PROVIDENCE, Apr 4 4.-Willian
Sprague has been def lated by nearly
$500 majority. The election through
out the State was a quiet one, the vote
considering the mall registration, re,
markably large, and the result more
favorable to TIE Republicans than had
been anticipated. Sprague never had
ghost OF a chance without the rxpen-
diture of a, large sum of money for the
direct purchase of votes. The barrel
did not arrive, or its dimensions were
not commensurate with the service that
was required of it.
In Providence the Republicans gener-
ally voted earl y, and up to noon Bourn
was about thousand votes ahead OF
Sprague. Late in the afternoon the
supporters Of the Ex-Governor came up
in large bodies and carried the LIST, INth
and Nth wards, and gave him a
plurality in the lid. Bourn's ma
tority in the city was considerably
smaller than it was expected to be.
Pawtucket, the largest town in the
State, gave Sprague 100 majority and
his ticket ran strong in several of the
towns of the western and southern parts
of the State.

The Queens Health,

LONDON, April 4.-The recovery o
the Queen is less rapid than her physi,
clans had reason to expect. While the
injury to her knee is by no means Seri.
Gus, it is feared that it may indirectly
affect her accustomed good health by
causing her to lose the daily outdoor
exercise with which she has been in the
habit of refreshing herself. DR.. Jenner,
the hysician-in-O ordinary to the Queen,
has directed that she take almost com
plete rest us the best means Of prevent
ing swelling in the injured part and of
reducing the pain. This course will, it
is believed, soon reduce the slight in
tiammation and give Her Majesty the
full use Of her limb.
A dispatch from Windsor Caste, dat
ed two o'clock this afternoon, saws the
Queens general health continues cxcele
lent, despite the precautionary safe
guard as to exercise which her phyNi-
clan has imposed, and although not
permitted to walk yet she took IA drive

sides, and their testimony showed tba,
the case originated as follows: A few
days ago the Chief Of Police issued AN
order to the officers to report all owner
of unregistered dogs 10 him. Shortly
after, while officer Hennis was on hi,
beat he was Informed by n Mrs. Gree,
that Mr.. McGrath had dog which slr
did not think was registered.
The officer called upon Mr.. McC;rat,
and asked him ifhis dog was registered
and he answered that he should find TIN,
out by his "learning." Hennis thu,
had the record at police station ca
amined, and upon not finding Mr.. Nc
Grath's name swOre out q warrant 70
his arrest, which he gave to uhicu
Green to serve. Last Monday he was
passing McGraths residence, and saw
the dog with the register mark on his
neck, and made some remark 60 Mo,
Grath about it.
Some words passed between them
when the officer remarked, :" it would
have been all right, if you had not been
so bull headed, and started to go away.
when the son called him s-n of h-h.
He turned and made an effort to jump
the fence to get the boy, but was. pre-.
vented by the father, who, lie aIlee~.

iressed the court at some length, and
'ontended that the officer had exceeded

es that he had no warrant, and even
{ he had, he would not have been JUS
flied in acting as he did. He closed by
aging that mans house is his castle,

been set for April or May at the latest,
may now be put off until June. One
thing is certain, the date has been left
blank in the invitations forwarded to
foreign powers. Precautions ofall kinds
are continually invented, in the hope of
thwarting the efforts Of the Nihiists.
1t is now ascertainrd that the Minis
try Of the Interior and the Directors of
the Police and Gendarmerie have en-
listed forty thousand men in the ranks
of the moujicks and promoted them 10
