on arrival from Cork, carried box contain

Patrick Flanagan, the Irish railroad porter
who was arrested at st. Helens ON suspicion
OF being an accomplice of Dorsey, were ar

charge that they had explosives in their pos

against them. 1t was put in evidence that a

coming week will be the production of the
musically rehabilitated opera, "The Snug
glers," at Ford's Opera-house, beginning

of E. 0. Graves, Superintendent of the Ma
tional Bank Redemption Division to the
office of Assistant Treasurer of the United
States over the heads of several men who
we're above him in the line of promotion

and has insisted on rigid observance of a
system of promotion. Nevertheless he pnt
in a claim for the treasurership when Gill

in that, he tried for the next place, made
vacant by the advancement of Wyman. The
new Treasurer recommendedJ. ]. w. Whelpley,
Cashier of the Treasury, but the recommend
alton was ignored. When it was learned
that Graves was appointed Wyman entered
a vigorous protest, insisting that inasmuch
as he was personally responsible to very
large amount for the proper administration
OF his Office, he should have the privilege of
naming his assistant 1t is understood that
Graves's commission has not yet been made
out, and a report is afoat tonight that
Graves will decline the appointment in view

Minister LowelPs Reception.

Correspondence Toronto Globe.
Minister Lowells house is most unpretend-
ing, and SO was the reception. You knocked
at the door and handed in your card, were
ushered up stairs and Immediately found
yourself having confab with the American
representative in as free and easy and friend
ly style as though you and he had known
each other for years. Lowell the minister
here, is charming conversationalist, and all
his visitors that day seemed to have good
time. The rooms were very beautifully
dressed with flowers and noticed that the
author of the "Biglow Papers, burns candles
and not gas in all his chambers. Tea, coffee
and light refreshments were served in the
dining-room, one ornament of which, by the
way, fairly puzzled me. This was a huge
japanese parasol, about eighteen feet in di-
ameter and on it's various ribs We're hung
hundreds of little toy canaries. 1t quite
covered the center of the dining-room roof,
and tended to exercise, on the part of those
who saw it, unwonted powers of inquiry
first as to how it got there; second, as to
why it was there, and third, as to what-the-
devil beauty was there to be seen in it.

PARIS. March 91.-Day before yesterday a
cartridge charged with dynamite exploded
near Monticeaules mines, at tie doorway of
miners house. No serious damage resulted,
but the fact caused much excitement and
speculation.
The statement published in the Patrie that
Duke d Aumale, fearing his property would
be seized by the authorities, had sold his
chateau at Chantilly and gone to Sicily,
proves without foundation. The statement
is repeated that Due d'Aumale's chateau at
Chantilly is sold, and it is also stated that
the property of all the Orleans princes has
been mortgaged for 10000 900 francs, the
money being supplied by foreign corpora

under date of the Both inst, referring to
Indian troubles, says that Agent Wilcox OBJ

or otherwise, has any weight with people
here, for his previous statements in regard
to the status at San Carlos proved false. 1t
is demonstrated that the nassacres now in
progress in both Territories are perpetrated
by White Mountain Apaches from San Car

Unexpected Result of an Election.

C'I0NFCOUSH ENe5uII OF an N1IeCIIOHi
BERLIN, April 1.-The statement is made
that Bismarck has under consideration
the propriety of dissolving the Reichstag,
should it continue refractory on the question
of the bill providing for an in
crease of military persons. The cleo
ton for member of the Reischstag for
Stralsund to-day excites great attention
on account of the unexpected result.
Stralsund has for the last sixteen years re-
turned Conservatives. The latest returns
indicate the election of the Liberal candi-
date by a majority of 500 out of the
unusually strong total vote of 10000.
The result is the more significant
as the entire official organization worked in
support of the Conservative candidate. The
election was rendered necessary by the ap-
pointment of Count Won Behranegendank
to the presidency of the province.
