China intends to continue the war. 1t is
probable that $1,000 reinforcements will be
sent to China.
PARIS, Nov. 29.-Public sympathy for
Madam Hughes, who shot her tradueer day
before Yesterday, is intensified by the fact
that both Hughes and his wife deyotedly
nursed the sufferers from cholera during the
prevalence of the epidemic at Marseilles. NJ.
Paul de Cassagnac, editor Of lie Paris, con-
siders the lady heroine, and urges the en-
tire press to uphold her. Hughes says his
wife proposed to partake of "a ''lovers' break
fast'' before goiug to court. She
was in excellent spirits. Before leaving
her home she prepared bundle of clothes
for use during her stay in prison. She has
asked the prison authorities that she NAV be
provided for material for modelling in clay.
Hughes, in interview, expressed confidence
that his wife will be triump hantly acquitted
by the court. Nine. Hughes has daily re-
ception at the st. Lazaire prison. Hundreds
os cards from members of all political sec
tons in Paris and large number OF floral
offerings are sent her. Two young uaugn-
tiers are permitted to visit her. Hughes
states his wife kept him in
ignorance Of the cause of the tragedy, ex-
planning her absence from home by telling
him she was preparing a bust for a salon.

time even political questions.
Premier Terry has abandoned all hope of a
successful issue of the mediation of England
between China and France. The Telegraph
says there will be no further diplomatic ne
eotiations with China, nor any further mill
tary or naval operations for the east until the
full force of 10, 900 reinforcements has ar
rived on the field of operations. In the early
spring an attack is designed upon Canton by

A GAY LOfhAirO.

try from Berli in 1881, at Jefferson mar
ket police court to-day accused Horace
Roberts Montague Maddox, a Cashing fell
low of twenty-eight years, who speaks half a
dozen languages, with abandoning her.
Some years ago Maddox obtained COM
mission in the British army and left his ma
tive town Of Sorbiton, England, for SER
vice in India. Two years
ago he turned up in this city,
having come from Chicago, and met Miss
Roster in Fourth avenue boarding house.
He was then getting occasional employment
as "spotter'' ON the Fourth avenue horse
car line. The conduct of the couple gained
for them a notice to quit the boarding house.
The two then began housekeeping, hut Mon
tague soon disappeared. Miss Roster, how
ever, occasionally heard of him marrying
other girls. She finally traced him to
Rochester. where she found him located as
''Dr. Maddox" engaged in the vending of
''proprietory medicines. :" He arranged for

to Buffalo. They stopped at the United States
hotel. After dinner the doctor went out to
purchase tickets for New York, and did not

covered the glass on the table

point boy brought her a ticket to New
York. saying gentleman on the street had
told him to deliver it. Augusta returned to

the man was not within the jurisdiction Of
the court. The woman answered she should
return to Rochester and compel him to

Regarding President Arthur's Vacancies.
Especial Telegram TO the GIoheI


WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-More than ordi-
nary interest is manifested by newly arrived
senators and representatives regarding the
presidential views and intentions as to fill
ing the offices becoming vacant between
now and the 4th of March next. Demo
cratic politicians assume that President
Arthur will not EN- barrass Mr.. Cleveland by
making new appointments except to fill
vacancies caused by death, but will allow the
present occupants to hold over. This
view of the case, however,
affords only amusement to the Republicans.
The sentiment among most prominent
Republican senators now here is that the
president can do no less than fill all the va
cancies as fast as they occur, without regard
to the fact that the Democrats come into
power on the 4th of March. 1t is maintained
that he cannot with propriety allow important
offices to remain open for two or three
months merely because there is to be a
change in administration.
Senator Logan, among many others, takes
this view, and insists that when these offices
are filled the occupants must serve
out their time under the civil
service act, and that Cleveland cannot con-
sistently remove them. Logan, who arrived
here to-day from New York, said to the
GLOBE correspondent that, while the Repub-
lican senators would throw no obstacles in
Cleveland's way in confirming nominations
to succeed Republicans whose commissions
had expired, they were pledged to stand by
the civil service law and would not permit
good officers, whose commissions had some
time to run to be turned
out merely to give place
to Democrats. On this point Gen. Logan
thought the senate would stand firm. If
Cleveland was opposed to the civil service
law, he could show it by suspending Repub-
lican officials whose terms had not expired,
but in this case he would undoubtedly have a
fight on hand.
I'm any event." said Logan, '.Mr. Cleve-
land will find himself in a very difficult and
trying position before he has been in the
White house many months"
AS to the observance of the civil service
law during the next administration, Gen.
Logan said, the Democrats were not fascin-
ated with civil service reform when they had
the power of making the appointments, and
they would be sure TO ignore it in future by
refusing to appropriate money to pay the
salaries and expenses of the commissioners.

Another Veto in the Virginia Legis-
lature.

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 29.-The general

The Reception to Mr.. and Mrs. Logan.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29--The reception to
Gen. and Mrs. Logan tonight was a demon
stration of the warm regard in which they
are held that was evidently very gratifying to
them. The exterior of their large and hand
some house in Iowa circle was gay with
flags and brilliant with Chinese lanterns.
Within there was throng Of
the friends of Gen. and Mrs. Logan. From
6 O'Clock till IL an orchestra at the rear of
the front hall furnished excellent music.
Gen. and Mrs. Logan stood in the drawing
room near the entrance, and Commissioner
Butterworth, standing on the generals right
performed the introduction. Mrs. Logan
wore a handsome costume of garnet
embossed velvet The reception
having been announced to be informal, the
callers were in ordinary dress. Pretty much
all the Illinois people in the city, high and
low, with the conspicuous exception of As
sistant Secretary Joslyn, were present, and
among them were Mrs. Joslyn, Senator
Cullom, Congressman Payson and
Commissioner Mcfarland. Ex-Commis-
sioner Dudley, Fred Douglas and his
white wife, Prof. r. L. Greener, Gen. Raum,
A. NJ Clapp, Deputy Sixth Auditor Clifford,
Public Printer Rounds, Col. Black and Gen.
McKi5bin, of the army, were among the
more prominent persons present.
There was a large represention Of colored
people, from Fred Douglass and
Prof. Greener pretty well down
the scale, and the general has
no friends more devoted and who more re-
greet his defeat than these people who have
long looked on him as especially their
champion. Gen. and Mrs. Logan never
looked better or appeared happier or made
themselves more agreeable than on this occa-
sion, though it was somewhat in the nature
of a consolation cup

The Washington Territory Election.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.


WASHINGTON, Nov. o. For far off coll
test the election of delegate in Washington
territory has excited extraordinary interest
here. Both candidates were from here.
Geo. Voorhees,, son of the Indiana senator.
had been on the staff of the superintendent
of the document room at the capitol previous
to his removal to the territory. Armstrong,
who was the Republican candidate, had been
chief clerk of the general land
office here. During the time
he held that position there we're
some ru lngs made by the land office which
leaned decidedly TO the railroads in land
controversies. Voorhees,, thoroughly ac-
quainted with matters here, drew on the
records aud fought Armstrong with the
rulings, pus hing him into the attitude of a
friend of the corporations. the ammuni-
ton of the territorial campaign was drawn
from Washington, and it was
used so effectively that Il Republican
majority was reversed. The loss of territorial
delegate isn't much from political stand
point, but some of the interior department
people are getting impressions Of the public
sentiment in the extreme west respecting
the land and railroad questions.
Wilson, of Iowa, whose contest with Fred
ericks, the Democratic nominee, was decided
IL the latter's favor last session, is here TO
wind up his congressional business. He was
not only worsted in the contest, but was
beaten by Fredericks in the late election.
