and the only subject discussed is the i'm
mlnent peril of a conflict. Mr.. Fontelieu's
adherents maintain an armed garrison at
night IN the court house, and during the
day large number of his SUD-
pOrters are in its immediate neigh
borhood. Judge Gates, supported bv
the merchants and educated people.
Is also prepared for the struggle. His
party have established their arsenal
about two squares from the court house.
Ihey have organized a body of men who
are well armed, and a militia company
mas also been formed, and is ready at a
moments call. Thus it will be seen that
Ooth sides are armed and prepared. Such
SITUATION can't last more than daV OF
TWO. As soon as the new Sherif7s bond
mas been approved he will make a formal
demand for his office. The present in
cumbent says that if the present clerk ac-
ceDts the bond he will retire. but as Clerk
Segura IS friendly to Mr.. FOntelieu il IS
not likely that he viii accept il.
If the demands are met by refusal, it is
stated that force will be used at once. A
large number of each party is in town.
and hOsulities may commence at any
moment. Judge FOntelieu states to-day
that no matter what might come, Judge
Uates would never preside over a court
here. He said that even if militia were
sent IL would not alter the condition Of
things. Judge Gates would never pre-

HEWITTS TARIFF BILL.
Secretary FOlger Gives it the Benefit of
His Endorsement.


WASHINGTON, May 26.-The admins
trative portions of Mr.. Hewitt's bill prac-
tically received the approval of the Ways
and Means Committee to-day. A letter
was received from the Secretary of the
Treasury expressing approval generally
of the administrative features of Mr..
Hewitt's bill, and suggesting some
amendments, chiefly verbal. Most of the
amendments were rejected by the sub
committee which passed upon them to-
day. Mr.. Hewitt says that he proposes
to have the committee vote upon the tariff
and internal revenue reduction features
of his bill. He notes an Indifference
to it on the part of his Democratic
colleagues on the Ways and Means
Committee. He fears that if it is brought
to vote in committee that Messrs. Nor
risOn and Blackburn will vote with the
Republicans not to report his bill He
does not see how such a vote could be
justified, because he believes that reve-
nue. reduction is still possible at this
session. Frank Hurd agrees with Mr..
Hewitt. He says that at the least a
determined effort will be made to put
through this session a bill placing
lumber and coal on the free list

JUDGE POLAND's CLOTHES.
The Story of Long tailed Blue Coat,
ButtOned Down Before.

ButtOned Down Before.
Judge Poland, of Vermont, says a
Washington special of the 22d inst. to the
Louisville Courier-JOurnal, has been
creating a good deal of subdued excite
ment on the floor Of the House during the
last ten days. From time immemOrial
Judge Poland has worn a blue swallow
tailed coat, with gold buttons thereon Of
the size of an eagle. His vest is also of
blue broadclOth, but adorned with gold
buttons Of the size Of a dime. His Danta-
looms were somewhat baggy and of blue
cloth, too. Yesterday and to-day there
was complete change. Gone was that
familiar coat. gone that former vest and
gone those Well-knOwn pants.
The Judge had replaced them with other
garments. He row wears a Prince Albert
coat of the latest cut. 1t is of diagonal
black material, and the vest, of the same
material, is cut close up to the chin. as
the style is. There are no gold buttons
upon either. Upon the Judges symmet-
rical legs there is now exhibited a beauti-
full pair of cnlOred pants, which fit very
tightly. The Judge presents in his new
costume very fashionable appearance
and produces some enthusiasm among his
colleagues.

NEW YORK, May 26.-None Of the sus-

pleted their statements as to how they
stand. Gen. Thomas, President of the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Midland

to make arrangements for the payment of

pressed on the street as to the arrest OF
Mr.. Fish shows that it was exnected.

ENGLAND's WAR IN EGYPT.
France Applying the Screws to Glad
stones Government

France Applying the Screws to Glad
stones Government.
LONDON, May 26.-AccOrding to the
Pail Mall Gazette, France asked that be-
fore the meeting of the proposed confer
ence England should consent to place
Egypt under international control. Earl
Granville objected TO this so long as Brit
ish military occupation of Egypt should
continue. At that France asked that the
duration of English occupation should be
limited, and renewed its demand for an
immediate international control. Earl
Granville, in answer, named five years as
minimum tor English occupation, and
insisted on a pOstpOnement of the pro-
posed international control until after the
English had withdrawn from the country:
but France steadfastly adhered to its pre-
yl0us demand, until at last Earl Gran
Vile offered to consent to the principle of
multiple control, provided it should be
disguised. France accepted this, caring
little for the shadow but anxious for
the substance. France is now trying
to limit English occupation to three years.
The Pau NAL Gazette denOunces the
scheme OF multiple control, however il
may be disguised. "Such a project" it
says, sis an anachrOnism, and certain to
result in disaster. AS long as British
soldiers stand alone between Egypt and
anarchy the present control will hold tue
purse strings and thereby govern the
policy of Egypt" The same paper says
that the Cabinet has decided to accept the
French proposal. 1t will evacuate Egypt
within the desired period and allow an
international board supreme authority
over Egyptian finances. The Sultan has
refused to send 10000 troops to Soudan to
cooperate with the English.
