CITY OFFICERS INDICTED.
The Mayor and Chief OF Police OF OmnIR
Charged with Receiving Money From
IntnbIers.

The Mayor and Chief OF Police OF Omnhn
Charged with Receiving Money From
Gamblers.
OMAHA, NEB., June 15.-Months ago n
report was put in circulation that Mayor Chase
and Chief Of Police Guthrie were receiving
monthly payments from gambling houses for
the privilege of keeping open. These reports
were not credited at first but were revived at
frequent intervals. The friends Of the mayor
and the chief in denying the rumors, said
they were prompted by disappointed Office
seekers, and had no foundation whatever.
Attor while tho newspapers took tho matter
up and showed that the last grand jury
would have indicted the mayor aud chief If u
sufficient number Of iurymen to prevent in
dictment had not been fixed. 1t was said that
ono juryman, mainly instrumental in prevent
ing an Indictment, was promised member
ship in the board Of public works,
but tho promise was not subse-
quently fulfilled When tho present grand
jury was summoned q special effort was made
TO SO cure business mon. Tho result was tho
stron Rest grand jury ever summoned by any
court in this state. Nearly all the members
are representative business mon and largo
tax payers. This morning the grand jury
presented ono indictment against Mayor
Chase, and three against Chief Guthrie. The
sheriff served tho papers this evening.
As both officials aro under heavy
bonds as city officers, they gave personal
recognisanc6 to appear Monday morning to
answer TO the indictments. Probably tho
grand jury will present further indictments
next week against present aud past council
men who have been accused of accepting
brbes. The court instructed the jury to-day
to remain in session until the fullest investi-
CATION had been made.
1t is said that the jury has already traced
nearly $4,000 into the hands of the mayor
and chief of police. Since last September,
1t is said, five gambling houses have paid $50
u month each. The man through whose
hands the money passed has been acting as a
city detective ut a salary of $75 month.
Inasmuch as nearly $l0O,O00,Oo0 is being
spent here this year for public improvements,
street paving, so Worago, &C, and as SO much
has been developed in tho gambling mat
ters, it Is thought the reports that contractors
paid large sums to secure contracts may
assume substantial form. The mayor't
salary is 500 month. The chief of police
has $1,000 year. They are not men of means
and have no other occupation or revenue
yet it is charged that they have had for their
own use during several months past much
more money than they could honestly have
had. There is great sensation all through
the city.

that she was too wicked to live, and while
out in the country on visit she swallowed
corrosive sublimate and died dreadful death.

England and France Agree.

PARIS, June 16.-Le Paris, the government
organ, says "France and England have
agreed to propose at the Egyptian conference
measures looking to tho naturalization of tho
Suez canal. The preliminary agreement
between France and England stipulates that
the British troops shall remain in Egypt
until January l, 1888, and may remain longer
if England and ono other great power judge
it expedient."
The Daily Ncws referring to tho agreement,
says: ut gives every practical guarantee for
the maintenance Of English interests in
Egypt. The hostile vote OF parliament would
DO fatal to tho scheme. Tho dissolution Of
that body would speedily follow, the European
concert would be dissolved, the friendly un-
Outstanding with France would bo succeeded
by q jealous, almost hostile, feeling, the set
tlement of Egypt would bo indefinitely ad-
journed, tho prospect of European war
would become near and distinct, and the
reality would bo upon us sooner than W.

Their Duties Do Not Conflict.

The attorney general has given an opinion
to the secretary of tho treasury upon Il
question as to the right and duties of custom
officers at quarantine stations, arising out of
the health authorities OF the state of South
Carolina in refusing to allow an inspector of
customs who had boen assigned to duty at the
quarantine. He discusses the question of
state rights in their connection, and concludes
that health officers cannot legally prevent
inspectors of customs from landing at quaran-
tine stations, and says that although inspec-
tors must conform their official action whilst
visiting aRd remaining at such station to all
reasonable regulations in the interest ofpubic
health no regulation which forbids their
enjoying ample opportunities for them and
their protecting the public revenue can be
considered reasonable, He holds that there
is no conflict in theory in their duties. and
that the good sense of the officers in question
will doubtless prevent any collision in point
of fact

finished. Hassan and Mohammed had been
in the rebel camp some time dressed as DOR

nothing can prevent tho rebels seizing any
point south of Assiout, which is within
twelve hours march of Cairo.
