really entered into a scheme Of practical re-
form. He had ny a single man been fond of
poker. Indeed, as "A measure Of economy,
being tired of supporting several institutions
In town on a limited income, he made a big
bluff at matrimony. He thought he could
master the gambling propensity by teaching
his young and blushing bride the fashion
able game, and she entered into it with all
her heart and soul The stakes were beans,
coffee beans-plain, innocent and healthful
articles Of after-dinner refreshment.
But, alas, the gambling spirit grew upon
her and one fatal game upset the happiness
of their lovely home. He had been honest
with her. He had concealed his deep knowl-
edge of the game. But there came a time
when be saw his chance and took it. He
stocked the cards, He gave her four kings
and he himself took four aces. Her eyes
glistened. She grabbed half Of her pile and
put it in. He put everything he had to it,
She added herr. He went out into the pantry
and taking a handfu OF stakes from the bean
repository, threw them down deiiantly. She

The Clawson Case.

SALT LAKE, October 25.-In the
Clawson ~polygamy case this morning
Lydia, the second wife, who was impris-
oned yesterday for contempt of court, CON
cluded to testify. She was asked but
three questions, which she answered, adj
hitting her marriage, telling when it oc-
Cured and where. The prosecution rests.
The jury in the Clawson case this af-
ternoon rendered a verdict of guilty. A
long argument will defer sentence and al
low the defendant to go at large on bail.
The Judge allowed a motion to set Mon
day, November 3 for the sentence. This
church organ tonight says an appeal will
be made to test all the points, especially
the open venire.

LONDON, October 25.-The report that
England was about to mediate between
France and China, with n view to the
amicable settlement of the point of diff
c%ulties, was altogether without founda-
ton.
The Chinese Government has given
immense orders for munition from Lon
don, Berlin and other cities. Arrange
ments have been made for the c%onsign-
ment of heavy guns and small arms.
Among the purchases already made by
China are 5000, 600 cartridges, which
were made during the Franco-G erman
war. These are now being shipped from
London. Experts say the powder in
these cartridges would, at this late day,
be unable to eject a bullet from the muz-
zle of a rife.
Granville, Secretary of State for For
eign Affairs, in acknowledging the inten-
ton of a French blockade Of the Island of
Formosa, informed Prime Minister Ferry
that the British Government would re-
serve the right of questioning the validity
of the blockade, inasmuch as there has
been no formal declaration of war by
France.
The army and Nary Gazette says that
the French are unable to effect the block
ade of the Island, One half of Admiral
Courbetts squadron is required to guard
Kelung and Tamsui. Only seven vessels
are therefore left with which to attempt
the blockade.

Frauds at Washington.

WASHINGTON, October 25.-Secretary
Gresham is investigating charges made by
j. J. Barker, formerly a clerk in the
office of the First Comptroller of the
Treasury, who has written a letter to the
President asserting his ability to prove
that great frauds have been committed in
that office in the allowance of claims and
accounts. The Secretary gave a hearing
to-day to the First Comptroller and
Barker, and as Il result of a state
ment made by Judge Lawrence
the Secretary gave orders for a full in
v~estigation of Bankers alleged connection
with fraudulent claims which passed
through his hands but which We're stopped
by another clerk in the same office. The
question to be determined in this branch
of the investigation Is whether Barker
had any knowledge of the fraudulent
character of the claims.

CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-Blaine arrived
from Milwaukee at $3.50 p. M. Very
few persons were at the depot to meet
him. The Young Republican Club
numbering $500 marchers, reached the
depot before the party entered the car
riages and served as an escort to the
residence Of Hon. Joseph Medill, where
he dined quietly. After dinner he pro
eeeded to the Grand Pacific Hotel. The
night demonstration accorded to the
Presidential and Vice Presidential cahdi-
dates was an affair of untoward magni-
tudc. The conditions proved favorable
for the marchers and spectators alike,
and until late into the night the down
town th~oroughfares were alive with masses
whom it would be only conjectural
at best to attempt to enumerate.
Along the advertised line of march there
were Examinations of various sorts. The

lands selected by the Company under the
acts of Congress in 1852, 1864 and 1865.
