GRESHAM At CHICAGO CONVENTION.
The Statement That He Worked for q
Third Term Denied.

Third Term Denied.
WASHINGTON, April 12.-The warm per
sonal friendship of General Gresham for
General Grant and the fact that the new
Postmaster General is regarded as 'Stal-
wart" Republican probably afforded the
basis for statement which has been widely
published, to the effect that General Gres-
ham was an advocate of third term aud
favored the nomination of General GRAFT
by the Chicago Convention.
In conversation with a correspondent re-
Gently, prominent Western Republican.
who was delegate to the Chicago Conven-
ton and q strong advocate OF Shermans
nomination said: "The statement that
Gresham was Grant man at the last Con-
vention is incorrect. He was there, but
not as a.delegate. At the first, l UNDER

Blaine and Sherman, and when the Indiana

went TO some of tie leading members Of
the Ohio delegation that evening and urged
them to drop Sherman after the first ballot
on Tuesday and spring Garfield on the con;
ventlon, assuring them that if they would
do so the Indiana delegation, with single
execution, would wheel into line and vote
for him and that he would be nominated
on the next ballot.
"The Ohio men did not feel at liberty to
abandon Sherman at that time, for he was
not by any means ready to admit his own
defeat. You remember that on the thirty
fourth ballot Wisconsin gave sixteen votes
to Gsrfield, and that Indiana cast twenty
seven of her thirty votes for him on the
thirty. fifth ballot-more than one. half OF

Trenty Ntipulations.

In every case Great Britain must submit
satisfactory evidence of the guilt OF the per-
son accused before surrender will be made
Suspicion on presumption OF guilt will not
do. The Identification must be positive.
The Cabinet has fully considered this ques.
ton.
That England has for years past been an
asylum for the vilest class of political
offenders known to history is remembered
by the administration, and it does not pro-
rose TO deny TO peasons dwelling within
the borders of the United States the just
and equal protection of the laws. In the
case OF Sheridan the British Government
evidently hoped to secure his possession
without full compliance with the extra Ii
tion laws, and the fact that he has not been
arrested is regarded as evidence that the
plans Of the British authorities were battled.
The rights of American citizens in Ireland
will he protected under the laws to the
best OF this governments ability. All
negotiations between the two powers have
been carried on in friendly spirit, but the
admistrstion has firmly insisted upon strict
compliance by Great Britain in every par
ticufar with the letter OF existing Jaw.

was generally some hope of material benefit
which induced people to fall into the arms OF
Utah missionaries An improved condition
of the working classes would, in his opinion,
do more toward multiplying the influence OF
Mormonism than any legislation which his
government could devise. In conclusion,
Mr.. Gladstone said that he extremely regret
ted that under the circumstances he could
not interfere. The missionaries, so far as he
knew, resorted to no illegal devices to obtain
proselytes, and he had no doubt that the
young people, particularly the young wo-

China is far better equipped to go to war
than Europeans or Americans generally
think. / don't know the number of troops
in the Chinese regular army, but 1 have no
doubt that at necessity she could on very
short notice place from 100000 to 1000, 600
well-drilled and finely-equipped men in the
field. The standing army of China is
drilled on the European plan, by Euro
pean instructors. There are eighteen
viceroys in China, and each viceroy has an
army of his own, which would be at the COM
mand of the general government in case of
war. These viceroys' troops are more than
militia. They are regulars. China has for
years been supplying herself with improved
