stitutiOnal amendments. ''The soldiers of
the South" he said. Estand ready to-day
to shed their blood and lay down their
lives for the perpetuity of this Union
and the honor of its flag, and if the time
should ever come that the constitutional
rights of the blacks should become en-
dangered my word for it, the people of the
South will be found among their strongest
advocates and defenders" Col. Staples
further said, referring to Cleveland's cleo

ernor regarding the Inauguration cere-

prominent citizen said to-day: every
thing points to very great demonstra-
tiOn on March 4. Already we begin to
hear of many outside organizations
that have determined to be present, and
hotel keepers are nearly overwhelmed
with applications for rooms. The rail-
roads are already offering to sell tickets
to the New Orleans Exposition by way of
Washington. There will be a
much larger attendance thar
at any preceding Inauguration. The
Republican headquarters here were closed
to-day, and the building has been rented
by the proprietor of one of the hotels to
accommodate guests who will come to
see Cleveland inaugurated. The Demo-
cratic headquarters will be kept open till
after March 4.

ALBANY, n. Y, Nov. 2O.-The State
board of canvassers met at 4 O'Clock this
afternoon. Ex-senator Conkling was
present for few minutes. A protest to
the effect that "a green electoral ballots
had been cast in Delaware county for the
Republican electors was read, and OF mo-
tion of Attorney General O'Brien was or
dered to be entered on the proceedings,
and the return was passed as received.
The Kings county returns showed a slight
discrepancy, but this was explained by
The County Clerk and the return was
passed. The discrepancy in the Richmond
county return was explained by County
Clerk Cornelius A. Hart. He presented
the original tally sheets, and stated that
the error in the return before the board
was owing to the omission on the part of
the cOpyist to insert the names and votes
of the two Butler electors. The mistake
was not apparent in tie separate foot
ings, appearing only in the totals, and a
comparison of the original with the state
ment transmitted to the board verified his
explanation. On motion of Attorney
General O'Brien, which was unanimously
adopted, the clerk was permitted to cor
rect the return. All the returns have
been received, and a tabulated statement
will be ready for signature tomorrow
noon, to which hour the board adjourned.

MADRID, Nov. 20.---The students of the

against the Bishops for censuring one of
the professors for advocating liberty of
education. The irate disciples of higher
culture expressed their disapprobatiOn of
the Bishops course by thronging the
streets to-day and making a tumultuOus
demonstration. Large crowds collected
about the publication offices of the Carlist
journals and threatened to loot them.
Police at last succeeded in dispensing the
young men, but not before twenty of the
number had been arrested. Besides the
students, several journalists, who were
acting with them, were placed under
arrest on the charge of conspiracy. The
students are deeply provoked at this
action of the authorities, and the agita-
tion continues. Precautions are being
taken to prevent a renewal OF the dis
order.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-It is a cold
day when the newspapers of this city do
not have half column of Cabinet MAX

gress. They are cropping about in the

are street corner gossipers and hotel

that if Cleveland so desires he will give

about taking Gen. Mcclellan, ex-senator
Stockton or Senator Mcpherson from New

Connecticut. They still insist on having
Bayard refuse to accept Cabinet Office,
and they have withdrawn Mr.. Randall

A Sailor Found Dying in a Boarding
HOuse-PrecautiOns AfOot.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.-The police re-
ported to the Board of Health Yesterday
afternoon that aman was dying in sailor
boarding house in Spring street from yell
low fever. Prompt measures were taken by
the board to deal with the case if it should
turn out as reported. The Sanitary In
spectOr found at the boarding house Ar
thur Clark, 80 years old, in what was
clearly the last stage Of an attack of vel
low fever. The characteristic black
vomit had betrayed the disease, and caused
the report to be made to the police. Clark
was steward of the brig Alene, of the At
las line, which had Just come in from
Port Limon, Costa Rica. He had been
taken i'll on Nov. 8, while the ship was at
sea, and had come sick to the boarding
house only last night. There were no
Other sick persons on board the brig.
Clark was removed to the reception hos
pital, and the house in Spring
and the bedding burned. He died
in the hospital this morning, and
an autopsy will be made to settle the
character of the disease. The health
officer is unable to say how the Alene
passed quarantine with one OF her crew
sick from yellow fever, and an investiga-
ton will be made. The brig was disIn-
fected, and the movements of her crew
will be traced. The health authorities
say that under existing circumstances
there need be no fear of a yellow fever
epidemic IN this city.
The Alene, Capt. Suders, sailed from
Port Limon ON Nov. 8 with passengers
and merchandise, consigned to PIN for
Wood & Co. The Captains statement to
the quarantine officer, DIR. Sanborn, was
considered sufficient. If it transpires
that he made false report, proceedings
will be taken against him.

LONDON, Nov. 20.-There is a conflict
in the Cabinet upon the new policy pro-
posed to be adopted in Egyptian affairs.
Premier Gladstone and Joseph Chamber
lain, President of the Board of Trade, re-
fused to support Lord NorthbroOk's rec
concentrations. The denial by Lord
NOrthbrook's late High Commissioner to
Egypt, made in Parliament tonight, of
the accuracy of the report of his recon-
mendatiOns, published on Nov. 19, is held
to lead to the inference that he has been
obliged to modify these propositions.
In the House of Commons to-day
Premier Gladstone stated that the gov
ernment was submitting it's financial
plans regarding Egypt to the powers and
was therefore unable as yet TO disclose
them.
Special dispatches from correspondents

FRANCO-ENGLIsH INTERESTS.
PARIS, Nov. 20.-In the Senate to-day
M. Gavardic taxed the government with
abandoning the French in Egypt, and rup-
turing the French and English cOndomIn-
ium. Prime Minister Ferry, in replying.
said that the government had one sole OBJ
Ject in View-a solid and durable agree
ment with EngIand-and the government
had been waiting a month for promised
communications upon the subject from
England.
Nj. Freycinet maintained that if France
had interfered in Egyptian affairs it would
have been involved in troubles similar 10
those of England. Whenever a power
set foot in Egypt European complica-
tiOns followed. England, he said, will
not overcome her troubles in Egypt with
out summoning a fresh conference. The
position of France in Egypt, NJ. Freycinet
cOntended, was neither compromised nor
was it irrevOcably lost. He believed that
the English and French would yet COM
bine and find a solution OF the Egyptian
question, since both nations have COM
mon interest in solving the troubles.
