William g. Smith, messenger of the
Erie and New England Express Company
between Binghamton and Boston. had an
exciting encounter with robber last
night on the midnight express on the
Albany and Susquehanna road. After
the train left Alton, Chenango county, at
about $3.50 O'Clock, Smith sat down and
opened the safe to check up his
accounts. While thus engaged a man
stepped from a closet at one end of the car
and, with a pistol in his hand, rushed
toward smith, eXclaiming in loud and
commanding tone, ''You needn't close
the safe. Wen divide. DON'T shut the
safe" Smith shut the safe with his right
hand and reached for his revolver. but be-
fore he could fire the robber discharged
his weapon, striking Smith in the fo;.e-
arm and causing him to drop his pistol
While attempting to recover it the assail-
ant fired four more shots, one of which in

to kill the messenger, the robber pulled
the bell rope, stopped the train. and es-
capped without detection.

FRANCES NEW MINISTRY.
DEFINING THE POLICY OF THE
GOVERNMENT.

The Republic Not Endangered-The
Princes to be Deprived of their Military
POsts-Measures Against Sedition-A
Tunisian PrOtectOrate-Freneh Honor
Must be Maintained.
PARIS, Feb. 22.-The new Ministry is
gaZetted to-day. g.
In the Chamber of Deputies to-day
Prime Minister Ferry explained the pro-
gramme of the Ministry, and solicited the
confidence of the country. He said the
governments first care would be to satisfy
the wish of the Chamber by applying the
law of 1884, under which the Princes
would be deprived of their military posts.
The government thought that nothing
more was necessary for the present. The
Republic is not endangered, and in the
event of conspiracy would have ample
power to protect itself by the rights inhe-
rent in all governments, without infringing
upon the essential liberties of the people.
The government demanded that meas
ures be taken against the utterance of Sc
ditiOus cries and against the authors of
Sedltlous placards. Irritating questions
and frultless discussions, he said, must be
set aside, leaving to the government the
initiative, which belonged to it as a right
Reforms were required IN the maglStracY,
and military bill and an habitual crimi-
nal bill were to be introduced. The bud
get for 1884 would shortly be presented. E
NJ. Ferry said the government proposes
to facilitate the execution of public. works
and to introduce measures looking to the
organization of pr0tectOrate in Tunis
and a reduction of expenses of Occupa-
tiOn of that country.
The foreign policy of the government,
NJ. Ferry said, will be peaceful, butne
sarily one of inactiOn. Whenever our in
terests and honor are engaged we must
maintain France in the rank to which she
is entitled. 1t is essential to give Europe
the spectacle of government sure of its
future and better armed against the fac
tiOns, of an administration strong and
respected, and of parliamentary repub-
lie, resting upon French virtutaOf good
sense, labor and love of progress.
NJ. JOlibOis, Bonapartist, gave notice
that he would submit an Interpolation in
regard to NJ. Ferry's statement.

A Discussion of the Peace Negotiations

BERLIN, Feb. 22.-The Landtag dis
cussed the estimates of the Ministry of
Worship.
Her WindthOrst, leader of the Clerical
party, said that the government was
blamable for the conflict with the Vati-
can, as it has not been in earnest in the
negotiations. The government is not de-
sirOus of peace with the Vatican, though
the EmperOEsi in favor of it.
Herr SchOrlemes affirmed that the State
would be forced to make peace with the
Roman Curia in order to terminate the
eXpatriation of Catholic communities.
which promoted disqualification and pre-
pared the way for triumph of Socialism.
Herr Won YOssler, Minister of Public
Instruction, said he would place no diff
Guilty i'll the way of religious schools, but
only desired to prevent the exercise of a
certain special influence over the schools.
He refused to answer Herr WindthOrst's S
question as to whether the negotiations
with the Curia had been broken off. The
government, he stated, had almost entire
ly removed the sequestration of incomes
of the clergy, and pardoned Bishop Mel
chers.
This statement caused general surprise.
The debate was then adjourned.

LIEUT.. GORRINGE RESIGNS.

SECRETARY Chandler

He Receives an Insulting Letter from
Secretary Chandler.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-There is bad
blood between Secretary Chandler and
Lieutenant Commander GOrringe. Cor
ringe has resigned in consequence of a
letter from Chandler which GOrringe
describes as grossly insulting to him as
an officer and as man. Gorringe is ON
furlOugh, and has recently leased a ship
yard at Philadelphia, where he is backed
by New York capitalists. Stories have
recently been published that Gorringe has
been engaged, or intends engaging, in en-
terprises detrimental to American shin
building interests. These stories Cor
rlnge prOnOunces false, and he is inclined
TO credit Chandler with having inspired
them. GOrringe received a peremptory
order to report in Washington. AS soon as
he is freed from official restraint by the
acceptance of his resignation, he prom
ises to give to the public the correspon-
dence between himself and Chandler.
