tending the bonded period on whisky passed by

Service bill was passed without debate by 155
TO AZ. The bill now goes to the President
The Army Appropriation bill also passed.
The President has refused to grant pardon
to Dick Liddil convicted in Alabama of OBJ
structing the United States mails while en-
gagged in one OF his train robbing raids. A
petition for his pardon was signed by the Gov
ernor OF Missouri, the United States District
Attorney, Chief of Police and other officers
OF Jackson County, Mo. The reason assigned
Tor making the request was that by Liddirs
testimony the officers hoped to convict Frank
James. The Attorney General of the United
States opposed the pardon, because, he said,
Liddil is guilty of crime and as deserving of
punishment as the prisoner whom the officers
seek to convict.

REPORTS of distress and misery in the
western part of Ireland continue to reach
this country. The distress particularly
exists in the places where there are hun
dreds of evicted families without shelter
and starving. The information about
these is derived chiefly from the Catholic
priests, whose own resources are all ex-
hausted, and about whose dwellings the
unfortunate creatures gather, begging
Piteously for potato or pound of corn
meal. There are no members of the
human race, it is said, whose condition is
20 abjectly wretched as that of the starry
ing people in the west of Ireland.

At the late election in Connecticut
Waller, Democrat, was elected Governor.
In New Haven, however, a large number
OF ballots were cast by Democrats known
as "black ballots" The courts of the
State lately declared these ballots illegal,
and should the Legislature in canvassing
the vote and declaring the result throw
these ballots out, it would give the Office
of Governor to Buckley, Republican.
That gentleman, however, positively de-
clines to accept the Office should such a
course be adopted by the Legislature.

ATTORNEY GENERAL BREWSTER and
District Attorney Woodford, of New
York, recently INDUCED in a lively cor
respondence, relative to the prosecution
Of an alleged violation Of the Postal laws.
Brewster ordered WOOdford to prosecute
certain parties for using Government
envelope In q private correspondence.
WoOdford investigated it far enough to
ascertain that it was the result of neeli-
gence and not Of intention, and called
the Attorney Generals attention to a
similar act of carelessness which con-
sisted in the acknowledgment by the At
torney General himself, under Govern
ment penalty envelope, of a social invi-
tation. The penalty for such use of the
mails by the Attorney General or any
body is $500. To this suggestion of
Woodford the Attorney General replied
that the allusion to his personal letter
answering an invitation ''to the next
New England dinner is not proper, and
is inadmisSible between us. It might
not be inadmissible as between gentle
men in Smatter Of personal business, but
as between the head of this Department
and one of its subordinates it cannot be
permitted" and he adds: Besides,
am not on trial, nor is there any com
plant made against me; and 1 again sug-
gest that such an alluion was not defer
entail and proper" 1t is said Woodford
Is booked for removal.

The Forehead Fight.

The 'forehead fight" brutal com.
bat inherited from the old Turks, still
survives in some districts among the
Iartars of the Crmea. a duel ofths
savage kind took place short time
ago IN aCrimean village. The report
OF 1t is given by physician who was
called to attend the defeated combat
ant. The two foes take their stand at
IA measured distance from each other
with their heads bent forward; then
alta given ST. nal they rush at one
another, but;ing forehead against
forehead like two goats. The remain
der of the duel is fought wholly with
the forehead; neither blows or kicks
are permitted, as the man who uses
any weapon except his forehead is
disgraccd. In the recent case blood
streamed from the foreheads of both
the m-savaTes; nevertheless they
continued bu,tiuy at each other with
terotiouS passion, until at length one
Of them fell exhausted to the earth.
He gathered up all his remaining
strength to draw his knife from his
grille, and with one determined
stroke he then cut wide cash across
his throat. The physician states that

beaten man is to be regarded as di

ACCIDENT TO 4 FUNERAL.
The Corpse Thrown Out Of the Wagon,

About 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon, as the funeral of Mrs. EVELYN
Eldred, deceased wife of the foreman
of the Jay Gould jogging works, was
coming down steep grade, near the
ld"hoan jies, the team Of the first car

creek. No one in the wagon was
seriously hurt; none were even
thrown out; but the tongue was
broken and the wagon almost Il total
wreck. The team of the express

fright and also ran off the grade, and
down to the creek, upset,ing the coffin

CEUR D'ALENE.
A "ell.known Pro>pector Brings a
Reliable Account Of the Region
Looks Tor a Rush There Next Spriuy.

lhos. Bentley, the well-known pros
pector, got in yesterday morning from
the Cpur d'Alene mines, where he
went some weeks ago. He came to
make arrangements to 60 back there
soon, to remain all winter.
The C9ur d'Alene country, Mr..
Bentley says, is not shown to be as
neh as has been reported; but is as vet
too new to justify any positive ex-
preston Of opinion as to its merits. 1t
Is situated in the Cnur d'.Alene noun
talhS, about 200 miles northwesterlv
from Butte, Montana, rs miles north
OF the Northern Pacific Railway, and
GO from the Canadian frontier. The
rlacers pay from nothing to 800 a
day, the quartz lodges are not vet
worked. The region is of unknown
extent, and for aught that is known to
the contrary, may extend to the north
pole.
Roads and trails are being made in
the C@ur d'Alene mountains, and it is
probable that travel in and out will be
kept up all winter. But there will
not be much to do before next spring
for those who have not already located
claims. There were about 1000 per
sons there 10 days ago, and others
were crow ding in from every direct
ion, but the rush is expected next
spring. The country is taken up for
miles. Mr. Bentley has an interest in
a placer claim and owns two quartz
claims.
