ventory is a true one. The claim must

Sonslly, and compared it with the lnyento-
"; that they know the stock to have all

subject to the control of the presiding off,
GERS, published statement to-day, review
ing the defense made By ex-Speaker Keifer
in the matter OF the resolutions of the
correspondents censuring his conduct
toward the press on the last night
of the session. General Boynton
quotes Mr.. Keiter's answer 10 the charge
that he employed violent insulting and
blaSphemous language to a protesting jour
nslist: The course, vulgar and prOfane
language which attributed to me has of
course no foundation, in fact No such
lspguage was ever used by me, and during
the time the gallery was occupied by the
ladies no member of the press saw me on
the subject. never thought Of using such
language and never did use it toward the
press" r
This" Gen. Boynton writes, "is abso-
lutely false. The coarse and profane laH.
gusge was used, and more profusely, too,
than was recited in the correspondents re-
solution, although il was after the crowd
had left the gallery, and while correspon-
dents were attempting to have it closed to
outsiders during the next forenoon"
Gen. Boynton says: "The Correspondents
were working for the country, in the in.
terest of the whole reading public, and the
Speaker, whose special duty il was to pro
tect them in the performance of this work,
not only failed TO discharge his duty, but,
apparently in spirit Of petty spite, inter.
tered actively and with all the power of mis-
Office to mske IT impossible to perform it.

Duct was as unworthy his position as is the

doubtless distracted his attention from
politics, and meanwhile his opponents
have not overlooked their opportunities.
Until within year he had only to COM
mand in order TO be obeyed. The
patronage of Pennsylvania was his. The
confidence of the Administration was
lavished upon him without bis going out
of the way 10 seek it. With the November
elections his interest in public affairs be-
gan to wane. He held aloof from the
counsels of the party managers, and they
seemed to get on quite as we'll without him.
Several Pennsylvania appointments were
made without his knowledge. He was too
proud to complain, but not discreet enough
to hide his chagrin. Recklessness OF ex-
preston and behavior soon provoked re-
marks. and then Cameron ceased to care
what happened. He
Announced TO Friends,
whom he knew would talk outside, that
public affairs had ceased TO concern him
and that he should not seek re election to
The Senate. There was some banterlng
over this announcement, but no regrets,
and Cameron stopped visiting the Senate
Chamber. His mslady grew worse. The
surgeon warned him OF the danger OF post.
poning treatment, but he had determined
10 vote against the Tariff bill and would
hear Of nothing to interfere with that pur-
pose, saving that after adjournment the
surgeons might sharpen their knives for
use, but not until then, whatever danger
might be threatening. He left the Senate
Chamber on Saturday evening so badly
used up that a rumor soon came flying
back Of bis death on the way home. There
was so little of improbability in the rumor
that Senators were deeply concerned over
it and it was not discredited elsewhere at
the capital until by positive and authentic
denial. Since then he has not left his
house and from all reports he is inditfer-
ent as to his condition and chances OF re-
covery. Restoration to health may be ex-
pected to improve his spirits, but after what
has happened politically it is believed that
he will not re enter the field as fighter, but
at best will only look on. Ex-Tarif Com
missioner Oliver is credited with being the
prospective legatee OF the Cameron polit-
ical estate, including the seat in the Senate.
The Camerons are to be interested in the
next Legislative contest only to the extent
OF delivering their forces to Oliver.

the Red House Observatory, discoverer OF
the new comet, says: Although it was dis
covered by me with the 9Inch telescope 1t
may be we'll observed with moderate sized
instruments. Its rapid motion eastward
and away from the sun causes it to ap-

position for observation is improving. Its
position on March was Il. A. 0 hours 81

March it will be very close to the mouth
of pisces boreslis, or the northern h'h, and
about degrees southeast of Merach, or
Beta, and Andromeda. On the 18th inst.
the comet will be in the constellation

constellation. From these positions the
direction and rate OF motion may be read

comets place beyond the dates here given.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, March S.-A sensa-

who was Treasurer at the time Miller was

Churchill-I do not propose to be called

People Of the Jeanette.
WASHINGTON, March S.-Under date OF
Jakutsk, Siberia, December s, 1882, Lieut..
Harber writes to the Secretary of the Navy
giving detailed report Of the operations
OF mis- party in their search for the missing
people of the Jeanette. At midnight
June % and q they left Jakutsk fer the
Lena delta; arriving at Buluu July 3, they
took in the stores left by Engineer Melville
and fitted out four parties with native
boats. Then follow the chief incidents OF
the search of the different parties, from
day to day, the difficulties experienced
from shoal water and the impossibili;y OF
procuring native guides They were fre-
quently compelled to wade and drag the
boats for miles. On the morning of Au'
gust 81 they reached Matyal, visited the
tomb Of
Lieutenant Commander DeLonS
and companions and put four heavy bolts
through the standard and arms of the cross
in accordance with the request OF Engineer
Melville. Thence the search was contin-
ued TO the north ward, and on the 3lst they
reached the spot where Lieutenant Com
mander DeLong and party wereSfolnd. A
search was made to see if anything re.
malned hidden under the snow; nothing
of consequence, however, was found.
Returning, the party reached 'Buluu on
the 10th of September. Here the jean
nette party was placed in charge of Ensign
Hunt. The search was continued by Lieut..
Harder and Mr.. Schultz on sledges. Lieut..
IIarber then gives an account of the points
visited and the distance travelled, and noted
their return Bulun on the 9th of Novem-
Der, and adds: II regret to state that no
trace of Chip or his party or his boat has
been seeh by us or any Of the natives. 1t
is probable that communicated with every
native of the delta, and with those who
were near the coast"
The balance of the report relates to the
arrangements for the removal OF the re-
mains of Lieutenant Commander De Long

anticipated by telegraph Accompanying
the report is a cnart showing the routes

A Cleveland Man shoots His Divorced
Wife and Then Kills Himseif

CLEVELAND, o. March S-A horrible trag.
edy was enacted here yesterday. William
Lyon entered the residence Of his divorced
wife, at No l25 Garden street, about half
past two, and asked her if she would make
him bowl Of soup. She replied that she
would, and began preparing the soup.
While she was thus engaged, Lyon pulled
a revolver from his pocket. The woman
asked him if he intended to shoot her
He replied in laughing way. Il don't
know; perhaps j will" The woman
was standing at the side of the stove
preparing soup, when Lyon moved to the
other side of the store facing her. While
she was looking at the utensil on the stove
Lyon raised the revolver in his left hand
and taking direct aim fired at the uRfortu-
nate woman. The ball entered her right
cheek near the nose and came out behind
the left ear. After the man had fired he
remarked:
"Now Eve Settled You,
and I'll settle myself, too" He immedi-
ately placed the revolver to his right tenn
pie spd fred, the ball entering his head
and killing him Instantly. lie laid down
beside the stoye and never stirred After
the second shot was fired the neighbors
came rushing in. They found Mrs. Lyon
standing near the stove with a stream of
blood pouring on the floor. Physicians
were summoned, and the injured woman
removed to the charity hospital next door.
Mrs. Lyon is so badly injured it is thought
she will die before morning.
The coroner will hold an inquest over
Lyons remains TO morrow morning. The
dead man was about forts five years OF age,
and formerly kept an auctioneering estah,
lishment on ST. Clair street He was di-
vorced from his wife about FIVE years ago.
OF late he had been drinking heavily.
Mrs. Lyon was a comely woman, about
forty-eight years OF age, 1t is said the
couple have had several serious guarrels
du ring the past two years. 1t is reported
that the tragedy was caused by jealousy,
Lyon hearing few days ago that his
former wife wanted to marry a man named
Black in a few days. He swore she
shouldn't marry again, and carried the
threat into execution with tragic results.
