LONDON, June 1i.-In the House of
Commons to-day, Lord Edmund Fitz-
maurice, Under Foreign Secretary, said
that the report which reached London
yesterday OF an extensive massacre at
Berber, on June /, was very difficult to
believe. His reason for this attitude was
the fact that a messenger who had left
Berber June 3, reported that Just before
his departure he had seen Hussein Pasha
hhalifa, the Governor, who was
among those alleged to have
been slain. The messenger had also said
that steamers were working their way be-
low Berber, and barges were passing to
Khartoum while the roads west of the
Nile were safe and there was no unusual
danger IN that region. The news of the
massacre of Lord Edmund, tits thought.
emanated from some emissary of FL
Mahdi.
PARIS, June 1.-The Journal des De
Dates comments upon the agitation in
England over the Egyptian question and
declares that the maintenance or rupture

THE ARTIFICIAL BooMs,

Donald. Randall has the support Of the
prOtectionists and regards himself as in
some sense the legatee Of Tilden.
THE ARTIFICIAL BooMs.
Behind these men are the artificial
bOoms for Slocum. who has the fever
badly, Dorsheimer, Flower and Morrison.
SlOcum really thinks that he has a good
chance OF being nominated, and Is certain
that If nominated he would be elected.
He has formally announced to his Con-
gressional friends that he would not ac-
cept the second place on the ticket. and
is now in New York partly TO see John
Kelly in the interest of his nomination,
and partly to attend the Grand Army of
the Republic reunion with the nomination
IN full view. In their way the other small
fry are just as easy. The Democrats in
Congress do not regard these little BOOM
let's as at all considerable. Cleveland and
Bayard are neck and neck and Nc cDonald,
vigorously pressed by Western Congress-
men, is just behind. Any prediction as
to the outcome would be idle. The Demo-
Gratis here recognized the fact that a mag
nihcent opportunity is just before them.
III the nomination were to be made bY a
Congressional caucus tomorrow, a good
choice would be made and good plat
form would be adopted, but the Congress
men do not know what the delegates sent
up by the local politicians will co. The
only indications they have from
the outside show, they think, that
CIeYelands friends must feel strong
is that they allowed Tilden's
letter to be published a week before the
New York Convention. In the intervening
week they expect to be reinforced through
the pressure of the Independent press, so
that they will be able to choke off the
ldiotic Flower boom, which Mr.. Flower
has personally worked upin the rural dis
tricts of New York. The candidates most
recently mentioned for the Vice Presi-
Dental nomination are Rosecrans, Villas
of Wisconsin, McClernand of Illinois, and
Palmer OF Illinois, all of whom are counted
good soldier material.
HEAVY FOG LIFTED.
Tilden has lifted a heavy fog which op-
pressed and beclouded the Democratic
leaders here. They breathe freer Tonight.
but they don't talk as freely as they have.
Bayard and Randall and Morrison regard
themselves as candidates, and have no
desire TO say anything. Carlisle, DORIS
helmer, Hewitt, Cox, Randolph Tucker.
Frank Hurd and ROsecrans are for Bay-
ard, Cleveland or Mcdonald. Eaton and
Curtin and all the Protectionists are for
Randall. The Senate leaders are
all for Bayard or Cleveland or Nc
Donald. or cOuse the tariff plank in
the Democratic platform is Immediate
~ involved. The Bayard, Cleveland
and Mcdonald men are all revenue re-
formers, and will insist on a pronounced
declaration in favor of revenue reform.
On the other hand, Randall says that the
convention must adopt the Ohio-Pennsvl-
yanla tariff plank, and his followers say
that he is the only Democratic candidate
who can stand upon it.

BALTIMORE, June 1.-THE small ex-
cursion steamer Gazelle was sunk about
midnight last night, about fourteen miles
down Patapsco river. She had on board
an excursion party of about fifty ladies
and gentlemen, who had been to Annap-
oils. On the return trip the vessel sprung
leak In the bay, and soon afterwards
the Captain was obliged to seek the near
est refuge for his passen-
gers which was on dredg-

high and the transfer was difficult but it
was successful and shortly afterward the
steamer sank. Her passengers remained
on the dredge all night and were brought

VIRGINIA GOOD FOR $4,000.
Ex-senator Johnston Shows the Absur-
dity of Republican Boosting.

Ex-senator Johnston Shows the Absur-
dity of Republican Boosting.
WASHINGTON, June 11.-Ex-Senator
Johnston, of Virginia, said: ''Why its
absurd to talk of Blaine CARRYING Vir-
ginia. The Democrats will carry the
State by $4,000 majority. We carried it
last year by $4,000. and then everything
was against us. They had every election
officer in the State, and besides that they
obtained some advantage from the debt
and school questions. There were many
Democratic Readjusters who were
afraid that the Democrats would
unsettle the debt question, and
that they would not do right by
the public schools, but our Legislature
confirmed the debt settlement and went
further than the Readjusters in providing
for and maintaining public schools. Now
all these Readjusters are back in the par
ty and will stay with us. AS to the tariff
there are only a few localities in the State
where protection is benefit, But the DEM
ocrats in these localities will never desert
their ticket for the sake of protection.
They will vote their straight ticket. Vir-
ginia will give $4,000 majority for the
Democratic ticket.
THE INDEPENDENTS DIsAFFECTIoN.
The Chicago pilgrims who believe that
the Independent protest against Blaine
will not be much of a shower have in
sisted ever since their return from the
convention that George William Curtis
would support the Chicago nomination
personally and through Hdrpers Weeklv.
They have used this assertion quite
effectively in their missionary work
among the Republican members of the
House and Senate. When the adherence
of Gov. Long was announced they said,
"Mr. Curtis will follow" When it
was stated that Roosevelt had
abandoned the fight against
Blaine they said, ''HGrpeyss WeekLy
will support him.' Col. Lyman. who
has been the object of much missionary
effort from the Blaine men, and who was
talked to for halt an hour by Secretary
Chandler, feels lonely, standing as he does,
almost alone in Congress as the repre-
sentative of the Independent Republicans.
He was anxious to see HdrDeT'S Weekly.
CHEERED IN HIS LONELINESS.
AS soon as it came he bought a copy
and read its editorial on the nomination.
1t pleased and encouraged him as much
as it displeased and discouraged the
Blaine hOwlers, who were too much dis
appointed to be able to conceal
their feelings. The fact is that beneath
the Blaine brag and bluster is
deep seated fear of the Independents.
This is why the conversion of Gov. Long
was so delightful to the Blaine men, and
why they devote so much attention to

W WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Secretary
of War, having learned officially by the
record of the Court of Inquiry in the case
OF Gen. d. G.. Swain of the'action of Col.
A. z. Morrow, of the sixty-eighth Cavalry,
in duplicating, duplicating, and even
manipulating his pay accounts, has de-
'oIded to order court martial for the trial
OF that officer. 1t is possible that Col.
Morrow will be ordered to appear for trial
before the same court to be appointed for

HENDRICKS NOT SURPRISED.
Tilden's Determination to Declin,
Known to Him for Some Time.

Tilden's Determination to Decline
Known to Him for Some Time.
INDIANAPOLIS, June 1.-Hon. Thomas
a. Hendricks, in an interview concerning
MIR. Tilden's letter Of declination, said
that the news was not a surprise to him,
for when he visited him in August last
Mr.. Tilden very firmly announced his in
tention to remain permanently out of pol
ltics. In his succeeding visit in April
last the same determination had been ex-
pressed. MIR. Hendricks thought that
there was little doubt that the old ticket
would have been unanimously nomi-
mated at the Chicago Convention
if it had not been for the declinatiOn to-
day. The demand for it among the Demo-
Gratis was almost unanimous and uni
versal. Personally he felt no disappoint-
ment. He did not want the office Of Vice
President eight years ago and did not
want it nOw.- If the old ticket had re-
,mained in the field he should have con-
sidered his election to that place a great
honor conferred by the people and rebuke
to what they considered a great wrong.
1t would have prevented the seating Of
Hayes in 1876 from becoming a precedent
for future elections.
