PARIS. April AT the Cabinet Coun-
ell yesterday, Waldeck Rousseau, Minis
ter of the Interior, made Il strong argu-
ment in favor of the eXpedicncy of
retaining Gen. De Gallifit as Di-
rector of Cavalry Maneuvers. Gen. Thi-
baudin, Minister of War, retOrted that
on military matters at least Waldeck
Rousseau was lily qualified to give an in
telligent opinion. AT this point, as the
discussion threatened to become uncom-
fOrtably personal, President GreYy inter-
posed. and the whole matter was aIIUwe eu
to drop for the time being, although moth

lie Paris says that Prime Minister Ferry
and General Thibaudin, after discussing
the matter, have come to mutual agree
ment that the great cavalry maneuVres,
which were to have taken place on the
Eastern frontier, should be abandoned on
account of the heavy expenditure they
would involve. General De Gallifit is to
have command of the usual cavalry man.

VALE FOLLOWS DORSEY.
Another Star Route Principal COntr
dieting InfOrmer RerdelI.

Another Star Route Principal Contra
dieting InfOrmer RerdeH.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-Harvey NJ
Vale, one of the defendants, was called
to the witness stand by the defense jim the
star route trial this morning. He had
been a lawyer and journalist. His con.
nection with the routes forming the basis
of this case arose from a desire to help
Mr.. Miner at Mr.. Miners request. An
agreement of cOpartnership between
Messrs. Vaile, Miner, Peck and John
w. Dorsey was read in evidence,
BY its terms Mr.. Vale is made Treasurer
and Mr.. Miner Secretary of the combina-
ton, and the receipts from the service
are to be divided among the partners in
varying proportion. Senator Dorsey has
no interest in that partnership so far as
the witness knew. One hundred routes
were controlled by the firm. After the
quarrel with Senator Dorsey in December,
1882, the routes were divided up and Sena-
tor Dorsey received $780, 900. AS to his
feelings towards Mr.. Dorsey at that time
the witness never disliked a man so much
in his life as he did him. They were now
friendly because Of their common perse-
cutiOn. The witness denied positively
the whole conversation at the National
IlOlCl as utSCIlDtu ny MI hCIuell.
which the latter was offered some mail
service and its enormous profits point
ed out. The witness denied the
truth of Mr.. RerdelPs statement that
he had induced General Brady
to accept the affidavit of Sub b-Contractor
Perkins as the basis for expedition upon
the White river route. After Mr.. DOrsey's
refusal to furnish an affidavit he said that
the route belonged to Mr.. Rerdell, and
the witness had enough business of
his own to occupy his attention. All
of Mr.. RerdelFs statements on
this point were specially denied. The
witness concluded with general denial
of all the charges in the Indictment, and
was turned over to Col. Bliss for cross
examination. Mr.. Vale was apparently
a candid witness, but on a good many
points his memory, like Mr.. Dorsey's,
failed him. His crOss-eXamination
brought out some interesting information
concerning the methods of the star route
contracts, out nothing striking in regard
to the present issues.

LONDON, April 4.-The recovery of the
Queen is less rapid than her physicians
had reason to expect. While the injury
to her knee is by no means serious, it is
feared that it may indirectly affect her
accustomed good health by causing her to
lose her daily outdoor exercise, with
which she has been in the habit of refresh
ing herself. The doctor has directed that
she take almost complete rest.
The Standard says that, owing to the
state of the Queens health, all engage
ments made by her for the month of April
have been abandoned.
