Dusseldorf artists have been at work
for several days and nights past in de-
signing groups for tabieaux for the i'm
rerial family. The artists have given
their labor free, and the participants in
the tableaux are, for the most part,
fashionable people who pay for their
own costumes.
As Dusseldorf is the seat of famous
art school, the artistic prevails. The
grand opera began yesterday and con.
tinues all through the maneuvre period.
The Beurath Palace, on the Rhine, sew
en- miles below Dusseldorf, will be oc-
cupied by the Crown Prince and Prin-
cess, the Princes Wilhelm and Henry
and other potentates.

ed. There is regular house moving
going on, and furniture is bseing dis
posed in various rooms. The Emperor

goes to the guard review. A new rail-
road has peen built for about 300 yards,
connecting the stations In Dusseldorf,
thus enabling him to go to Beuratb and
Weveling Haven without changing his

his wife 81 per week during their sepa-
ration ne was discharged fr. III custody.
At first he was ordered to give security
In the sum of $500 for the faithful car.
rying out of the sentence, but upon his
stating that it was impossible 10 either
give the security or Imy the alimony,
and preferring TO go back to jail, Judge
Clayton stated that he thought the man
had already been confined long enough
In jail, and ordered his discharge by
saying: at is the order of this Court
that you provide your wife with a
weekly allowance of 81, and you are
held only on your own recognizance for
that amount" 1t was mainly through
his wife that Buegless was arrested and

Tho Vacant Secretaryship.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 17.-Informa-
ton was received here to-day that Hon.
l.. p. Morton, Minister to France, who
had intended to have sailed for New
York on Tuesday of this week, has
concluded to defer his departure for
two weeks This fact would seem to
effectually dispose of the report that
he Was coming home to assume the
duties Of Secretary of the Treasury, ~
that office will have to be filled within
the ensuing seven days. 1t 10 said by
Mr.. Morton's friends that he obtained
leave Of absence 70 come to this country
some time before the death of Secretary
Folger, and his original in ention to
have started q few days after that
event was merely an accident. and had
no possible connection with the vacancy
In the Cabinet. Mr.. Morton's object in
coming home just at this time il said to
be to attend to some private business in
New York. 1t was stated positively
to-day that General Sharpe would not
accept the Treasury portfolio. The
prevailing impression in this city now
In regard to the vacant Office is that,
unless Assistant Secretary Coon is pro.
noted, the office will be given TO some
prominent citizen of New York, a per-
sonal friend of the President, whose
name has not yet been mentioned in
connection with the office.

The Chinese Routed .

SHANGHAI, Sept. 1.-Two thousand
French troops landed to-day at the
Kinpai Pass, on the Min river, below
Foo. Chow, and attacked the Chi
nese. The latter were defeated with
heavy loss and are in full retreat.
Vessels belonging to Admiral Cour.
bets squadron have been cru Using
about the Chusan Islands, which lie
just off the coast, some distance to the
southeast of Hue. 1t is thought that
Admiral Courbet may make these
islands his headquarters during his ope-
rations in the Yang Use river. The
islands are of great strategical impor-
tance, but the malaria there Is of q
deadly character.
A nominee of tho Chinese war party
has been appointed to act In conjunc-
ton with Ii Hung Chang, viceroy Of
Pee Chi Ii, who rests under suspicion.
Ii Hung Chang has thus 70 share his
Office with . hostile colleague. This
action, it Is believed, indicates the not
very remote downfall ofthe great leader
of the peace party.
