WASHINGTON, May 13.-The appointment Of
Mr. Pearson as postmaster at New York was
blow to the rank and file of the Democratic par
ty. The New York factions were especially bit
ter in their denunciations of the methods of the
President when this appointment was an,
nounced, but last Saturday, when it was stated
on the street that Mr.. e. o. Graves had been
made Chief of the Bureau Of Engraving and
Printing the wrath of the Democrats knew
bounds. Mr. Graves has always been civil
service reformer Of the advanced type. He haf
never been bound by party lines. although he
has always worked with the Republicans, beliey
ing that the Republican party was more sincere
in its efforts to secure reform in the civil service
than the Democratic party was 1t is no;
a civil-service rsformer, however. or a reformei
of any kind, that the average Democrat
wants to see appointed Hence, when, on
Saturday, the evening papers came with the
news, the hotel lobbies were filed with swear
ing, cantankerous crowd Some years ago. Mr..
Graves antagonized the Secretary of the Treas
ury by his report upon the modus operandi of
of this bureau, OF which he has just been made
chief Mr.. Graves reported against the practice
of doing out the money among large number
of employees so as to furnish patronage for the,
politicians. An attempt was made to suppress
this report, but somehow or other it found its
way into print, and Graves nearly lost his head
in consequence. There is no doubt that he will
conduct the affairs Of this Office in an economical
and business-like manner

Sickness Among British and Egyptian Troops
at Suakim.
SUAKIM. May 13--There is fearful amount
of sickness among the British and Egyptian
troops here. The sick. bays in all the ships are
crowded with patients and additional hospitals
are being erected OH shore.
One thousand natives who had been hostile
have submitted to British authority, and have
been armed. 1t is feared, however, that the
news that the British forces are to be withdrawn
will deter further submissions, the majority
of the natives consider that, to every Arab who
manifests friendlness towards the English occu-
patton, death is inevitable at the hands of Osman
Digna as soon as the British have retired.

Shore railway for personal damages received by
being elected from the New York special train,
began to day. A sensation was created by the
railways counsel moving the court for an order

tests might be made on his alleged paralyzed
limbs. Rosenzweig offered to submit but the
family physician swore he would not be respoR-
sible for the patients life under anasthetics
Judge Galbrath peremptorily overrued the mo-
tion, stating that after the plaintiff had sub
nitted to electric and other tests for three hours
by the defendants doctors, it was carrying the
thing too far that he be made insensible with
defendants drugs and at the risk of his life.
Colonel Royce the Lake Shores attorney gen
eral, came from Chicago to try the case.

was in the habit of making a
circuit of the works twice a
day around the walk on the
top of the reservoir. About o'clock on the
morning of March IA, in making his usual round,
he found on the walk a woman's glove and a
broken shoe string He looked into the water
at that point and noticed what appeared to be a

upon examination, found it was the body of a

The witness went directly to the Office of the

and also informed the coroner. The body was
subsequently taken out of the water and
carried off. In answer to a question
of the commemorative attorney, Mr.. Meredith,
the witness said that on the night of March 13

and if it was likely lady without some escort

More Dispatches from KomarofE
LONDON, May l3.-Conde Stephens, the
bearer of dispatches from Sir Peter Lumsden
to the government. says: "The British Com
mission started for Tirpul directly after the
Penjdeh battle. Reaching the Paropamisus
mountains, a terrific snowstorm rendered prog
ress slow, and many amp-followers were lost.
The defeated Afghans retreated by another
route, via Maruchek and Baola- Murghab The
Penideh valley is most fertile oasis and love
ly country, with splendid pasture lands. In
springtipge the ground is literally carpeted with
flowers. DIR. Aitcheson, the botanical expert
was delighted He made valuable collection
of flowers. The valley abounds in game. The
party killed $50 pheasants daily. The Murghab
abounds in waterfowl, and the hills are stocked
with gazelle, antelope. wild sheep and pigs. The
Afghans were always kind and attentive to the
wants of the Commission, and did their utmost
to provide them with food and comforts, though
the task difficult one, the country being
uninhabited" The party saw the ruins of numer-
Gus ancient towns. When Mr.. Stephens left the
Commission all the members were in good health
and spirits.
General Komaroft's latest dispatches regarding
the collision between the Russians and Afghans
near Penjdeh, reiterate with fuller details, his
earlier accounts of the affair. He says the At
ghans sent a tauntng message to the Russians,
declaring that, They would thrash the Russians
as they had thrashed the English" The Afghans.
General Komaroff again insists, fired the first
Shots and SO were responsible for bringing on the
engagement General Komaroff says he learned
from prisoners who were captured in the battle
that the Afghan leaders had ordered the Sarks
to furnish o contingent of 1000 men to the At
CHAN army The time which had beer allowed
the Sariks to determine whether they would
comply with this order expired on the very day
the battle occurred and an answer from them
was expected by the Afghans on that day. The
effect produced by the Russian success on the
minds of the neighboring people was so great
that, directly after the battle, the Sarik and
Ersarik Turkomans offered their allegiance to
Russia few days after the battle, namely,
on the 9TH of April, General Komaroff says he
wrote to Taib Saar, the Afghan commander at
Penideh that he had no further animosity
against the Afghans.
