Sir Edward Thornton, British ambassador at St
Petersburg, in reply to Granville's request to
know If Englands understanding of the arrange

tanned by De Giers. Mr. Gladstone read as fol-
lows:
The Russian troups will not advance from
the positions now occupied by them, provided the
Afghans onot advance. or unless some extra
ordinary reason be given, such as disturbances
in Penjdeh. Stringent orders have been sent
the Russian commander to use every possible
means to avoid conflict or Indictment to con-
fict. The above orders will be repeated"
Several interrogatories were at once put, but
Mr. Gladstone declined to answer them. and
deprecated any further questioning of the gov
ernment upon the question at present.
In connection with the Afghan inquiries Mr..
Gladstone stated that the demand of the British
government for the withdrawal of the Russians
from their advanced positions had lapsed. This
announcement was received with ironical cheers

he has had no long sleep, but dozed while sitting

Criticism Of Hendricks's Interference in the
Matter of Appointments.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 17.-Vice president Hen
bricks spent several hours at the White House
this evening, and tonight he attended the Pres
irents public reception. and then remained
and talked with Mr.. Cleveland. It is
understood that he has made a positive,
strong Endorsement of Aquilla Jones for post
master at Indianapolis to not only the Post
master-general but to the President, and every
body believes that Jones will be appointed.
Mr.. Hendricks is taking general hand in the
matter of appointments, interfering with the
selection of men for Offices in all the States and
it looks as if he would have his hands full of
trouble within very short time. Phil Thomp
sons friends are cursing him for the part he
took in the appointment of the Commissioner of
Internal revenue, he having urged the selection
of Miller Apropos of this, the Critic this even
ing, says: "Vice-president Hendricks is be-
ing extensively criticised for his greed
in taking care of his special friends
and favorites. It is said that he can be
seen in the departments every day. anxious to
gobble up anything that can bo had A promi
nent Democratic member said to day that every
time he visited any of the departments he always
saw Mr.. Hendricks rushing around with his
handseand pockets full of papers. L think, said
he, it looks very small in the Vice-president of
the United States to come down to the level of
an ordinary Office beggar'"

A NEW SURGICAL OPERATION.

NEW YoRK March 17.-Dr. Milton j. Roberts
performed a new operation at the New York
POSTGRADUATE College and Hospital, No. 226
East Twentieth street. yesterday afternoon
The operation, being experimental, was per-
formed on a. sheep with DIR. Robertss new in

found that he had accomplished his purpose.

were present yesterday regarded the operation

real intentions in the matter? Mr. Cleveland has
said in plain terms that under his administration
removals and appointments shall be made only
as commissions shall expire, and on the score of
capacity and experience. and for the good of the
governmentrathert than the advantage of party,
or in recognition of party obligations Mr. Hen
dricks takes it upon himself to proclaim, by his
conduct, that this is wrong and mischievous, and
that Mr.. Cleveland does not seriously aim or ex-
pect to carry it out III the President is the man
we take him to be, he will not stand great deal
more of such open and fragrant reflection on his
policy and his motives from an officer who, if no:
bound to support and assist him, is at least
required to treat him with reasonable defer
encc, to say nothing of what he should be
prompted to do by sentiment of ordinary
gratitude for the favor derived from association
with him on the Democratic ticket Whatever
Mr. Hendricks may choose to think about civil
service reform, he has no right to go assert him
self in the matter as to embarrass and disparage
the policy of the administration of which he is a
part, and to impute trickery and deception to
the President, who is his superior officer, as well
as the highest representative of the national
honor and authority. Hence, we look to see
Mr.. Cleveland take early steps to reduce the
Vice-president to becoming condition of qui-
etude, and in bringing about such thing he
will render the double service of vindicating
himself and relieving the public at the same
time of a most fatiguing and Iisagreeable bur
den,

SHE WAS A KLEPT0MANIAC.
In Iowa Lady's Petty Thefts from the New
Orleans Exposition.

New ORLEANS, March 17.--Last December
there arrived in New Orleans well-known Iowa
politician and his wife. The lady was middle
aged and enjoyed the reputation of being one of
the foremost in acts of charity. She was full of
life and business, and came to superintend some
exhibits. After short time the husband re-
turned TO Iowa, and the wife remained TO fulfill
her duties Shortly after the husbands depart
nre various small and trifng objects began to
disappear from show cases and tables at the ex-
position. The exhibitors complained and set q
watch for the guilty person, but without success
The matter was then put in the hands of a de-
sective agency, whose officers speedily connected
she missing articles with the lady from
Iowa. 1t appears that she was a
kleptomaniac, and had appropriated whatever
she could lay her hands on. Among the goods
recovered were three pieces of red check flannel,
three pieces of red cambria, three pieces Of blue
pieces of white cotton. four oil paintings, six
square plates 81 brass lamp, an engraved figure
spittoon, bronze panel, Japanese bronze
three pieces OF lace, piece of brown velvet, six
bottles of wine, six pieces of hand painted satin,
a piece of embroidered black satin, a large tank
ard a marble stand, a shaving cup nine fancy
smelling-t bottles, two fancy stone teapots, hox
Of California inseet-powder, q lemonsqueezer
and twenty two stuffed birds.
The unfortunate lady removed from the expo
sition about $4. coo worth of exhibits in about
two months. A portion Of these goods she had
shipped to an Iowa Clergyman. These the de-
tectives intercepted in transit. The remainder
was recovered in this city Many of the articles
she never would have had use for.

BERLIN March 1.-THE event of the last
sitting of the Reichstag was the Chancellor's
great speech. After he had touched in a bust
nesslike way the question of subventions for
African lines Of steamers, and Germany's colo
nial policy, he turned his attention to the ques-
ton of responsibility in case his transoceanic
policy should be refused support Hesitatingly
and in very low and at times scarcely audible
voice, which grew louder and louder as he pro-
ceeded, he spoke of the blessings of heaven
which had rested upon Germany since 1866
Then he spoke of the rise and completion of the
German Empire; how the German people had
become nation of brothers, and now, united

of applause burst forth from all sides of the

An Appeal to Bynum's olemency.


New York Sun.
We are sorry to learn that Vice president Hen
bricks and the Hon. William d. Bynum, Demo
cratic member of Congress for the Indianapolis
district, have got into a contest respecting the
appointment of anew postmaster in Indianapolis.
In appointing postnasbars tho usage of the de-
partment is to pay great regard to the opinions
and wishes of the representative of the Congress
apolis, and as the postmaster of that town is an
be grateful act for Mr. Bynum to stand aside
and let the candidate of the Vice president be
appointed without opposition, provided, of
course, that he is man satisfactory to the
President and the Postmaster general.
The historial fact is that the Vice-president
has never been allowed to have much to say
about appointments to Office. He has no
vote in the Senate, and cannot take any consid
cradle share either in making up the policy of
the administration or in shaping the legislation
of Congress- Accordingly, he is almost always
disregarded, and soon comes to form an opposi-
ton by himself sort of fifth wheel to the coach,
a general grumbler, finding fault with the
measures of the administration and the acts
of Congress that he is powerless to change or in
fuence
We had hoped that better fortune might await
Mr.. Hendricks, and that he might form an ex
ception to the general rule We trust that such
may yet prove to be the case; and wewhope es
pecially that there will be no antagonism be-
tween him and his congressman. Let Bynum
do the handsome thing, or let postmaster for
Indianapolis be found who will be agreeable to
both

Hence the desire of those who knew him most

merit that he should be made the standard bearer
OF his party in the last presidential campaign

to a national solicitude that he should be called

an uncommon element of strength to the
