A TRIFLE TOO VIGlLANT.
Two OF President-Elect Cleveland's Guardians
Arrested by the Albany Authorities.

refused to tell their business to the chief of

An Interesting Chapter About Afghanistan
and Its Hardy Inhabitants.

An Interesting Chapter About Afghanistan
and Its Hardy Inhabitants.
For century past Russia has been slowly but
steadily pushing her way across Turkestan in
pursuance of well-defned policy of aggression
in the East Already she has absorbed nearly
the entire littoral of the Caspian, the Khanates
of the Khva and Bokhara, the celebrated Merry
oasis, and has practically made herself the ruler
OF all the central Asian territory from the sea
of Azov to the northern slopes of the Hindoo
Koosh range, England has viewed Russia's ad-
vance towards the frontier of India with sus-
picion and alarm, but somehow Russia has al
ways succeeded in temporarily quieting her fears
AT first Russia affirmed that the Lower Oxus
would be the boundary of her conquests in Turk
estan; but she passed that limit long ago. Then
she assured the English government that the
integrity of Merv would be respected Within
the last two years she has left Merry far behind
her. Next she affirmed that she had no intentions
whatever of having anything to do with the
western capital Of Afghanistan, but the knowl-
edge that Russian troops have appeared within
thirty miles OF Herat has once more seriously
awakened England's suspicious that Russia has
really sinister intentions with regard to her East
Indian empire Strength is lent to these sus-
picions by the fact that few months ago the
government of India dispatched q mission under
Sir Peter Lumsden to settle the deimitaton Of
northern Afghanistan. but Russia instead of
waiting to learn the results of this mission, has
never ceased to push on until now it may be
said that she has foot in the most vulnerable
part of Afghanstan.
What England fears is that by that power of
intrigue for which Russias oriental officers are
remarkable, the Car may get the Ameer of
Kabool in his power and this arrangement
might. OF course, open passage to India for the
Muscovites So jealous is England of Russia
obtaining the ascendant political influence at
Kabool that in order to prevent this she has not
hesitafed to make two costly and sanguinary
wars upon Afghanistan. The war of 1840 AZ was
precipitated by the appearance in the northern
capital of Russian officer named
Vicovich, who was supposed to be exercising
ON behalf of the Gear, strong political influence

AN HEIRESS TO MILLIONS.
The Vast Fortune that awaits Mrs. Leopold
Gumprich, Of New York.

New YORK. March Mrs. Leopold Gum
prich, of 234 East Seventy sixth street, whose
husband is commercial traveller of middle age,
is heiress to a vast English fortune. Gumprich
married his wife twenty years ago, after over
coming, with difficulty. the objections of her
parents, respectable people of Karlsruhe. Ger
many where the courtship was carried on. In
Che wifes family there was tradition of a rich
"Aunt Rosalie" living in England. 1t now ap-
pears, from papers certified to by Count Herbert
Bismarck, while Secretary of the German iega-
tion in London, that the heirs of one Rosalie
Levi are entitled to fortune variously estinlat-
ed at from $50 0OO 900 to $75, ,O0O,0 0OO That Mrs.
Leopold Gumprich is one of these fortunate
heirs, and viii sooner or later come into prop
erty of between ST. 0oO 900 and So OO0, 900. there
seems no doubt.
Toward the ciose.of the last century Rosalie
We'll, professional nurse, went from Germany
to Italy, and there met wealthy English He
brew named Jesua Levi, who, being in bad
health, married her in order to have somebody
to take care of him. He died few years later
leaving his entire fortune to his wife. In 1903
Mrs. Levi died, and the English Court of Chan
cery took charge of her property and deposited
the money, which then amounted to 2OO0, 600,
in the bank of England By the natural increase
from interest this sum has now reached the
enormous figures above given. Recently the
Court of Chancery, impressed by the magnitude
-of the sum, has, of its own yoaition, stirred
about to find the rightful claimants, and it
seems now but a question of a few months before
the property is divided among those to whom it
belongs. Mrs. Levi had no sisters and but one
brother-Hlrsch We'll, who left but one daugh-
ter. Her name was Lea We'll. and she married
Emanuel Frank They had nine children. All
of these children married and left issue with the
exception of one daughter, who is now over
eighty years of age. Mrs Gumprich is the
daughter of one of these nine children. Her
share will be at least 81, 5000 600. and 1t may be
vastly greater.

Mr. Hendricks Camp-Followers.

Special to New York Graphic.
Mr.. Hendricks has an army of followers who
are actively presenting their claims to office.
They are seeking his intercession in their behalf
with the President-elect and the poor man is
bored to death by their unceasing supplication.
The Vice president has no patronage to bestow
outside of one or two small offices around the
Senate. There is little reason to suppose that
there will be much if any Hendricks influence
around the White House. Not only are Mr..
Cleveland and Hendricks wholly unlike as re-
CARDS political faith and sympathy, but the IN
fluence of Mr.. Tilden with the former, OF which
there is now little doubt, is supposed to be
enough of itself to operate againstMr Hendricks
having much to do with the administration.
Tilden does not like Hendricks, and had it not
been for this Mr.. Hendricks might have been
nominated for President instead of Mr.. Cleve-
land Indeed. some think that Hendrckss an
tagonism to Mcdonald would have been more
likely to put him in the Cabinet than his friend
ship. At any rate it looks as if the presidential
and vice-presidential establishments would be
entirely distinct and the latter have little weight
with tho former.
1t is considered here as probable that one of
in the mind of Mr.. Cleveland was this very an
tipathy to its coming presiding officer and the
enhanced necessity OF having through going
Cleveland Democrat upon the floor. The friends
OF Hendricks have, therefore, little to hope for
in the way of spoils, even if there was going to
be much of a distribution thereof. 1t is fact
that Mr.. Hendricks has more political obliga
tions and old debts of gratitude to pay than Mr..
Cleveland himself. In Washington he has as
many enemies almost as Mr.. Blaine. A promi-
nent man here says Indiana politics are a stencil
in the nostrils of Mr.. Cleveland, and that the
delegation from that State which spoke to him
about cleaning out the Augean stables only in
creased this feeling.

All the Hide-Bound Bourbons and Office
Hunters Stand by Her ticks.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WAsHINGToS, March 2.-Since the arrival of
Mr. Hendricks at the capital the situation, so
far as Indiana Democrats are concerned, has be-
come more decisively and prominently developed,
so that the most careless observer, who knows
anything at all about the Democratic situation
in Indiana, can tell exactly how the land lays
1t being now settled that ex-senator McDon-
aid will not be a member of the new Cabinet
Indiana Democrats are not slow about express
ing their opinions, and such expressions show
that they are split square in two in regard to
their two great leaders-thus: All the seekers for
position, all the suppliants for place. all the old
hide-bound Bourbons who have not learned any
thing since April, 1861, and all who do not care
blank so they get there-all these are arrayed
on the side of Mr.. Hendricks On the other
hand nearly all the men of standing in the
party, the thinkers, the men who are Demo-
Gratis from principle and not for pelf-all who
are liberal and progressive in their opinions, and
who want to see the new administration, leave
behind forever the issues of 1861, and place
itself abreast with the more liberal opinions of
1Ooci anu OH VIM OOlSoe tISdCiery ana Ottfk-
lantern methods of killing off a sup
posed rival-all these are arrayed on the side of
ex-senator Mcdonald, and are redhot in their
denunciation os the treatment he has received.
These latter classes embrace nearly all the
men of brains in the Democratic party in Indi-
ana, majority of the representatives herein
word, large majority of those above the rank
OF mere county manipulators And they are in
deadly earnest. too, as was shown by Mr.. Hen
dricks's reception on his arrival here Not more
than two-thirds of Indiana's representatives took
part in the reception, the rest standing off with
angry mien and corrugated brows, swearing
mighty oaths as to what they would do when
pig sticking time comes around.
In word, the political assassination of Nc
Donald has sown the seeds of breach in the
ranks of Indianas Democracy that will not soon
be healed. Curses. loud, deep and inexpressibly
bitter are lavished upon Hendricks. and by
scores of men who are able to make good the
threats OF revenge with which they fill the air.
Each succeeding day will widen the breach and
intensity the bitterness, and the next Demo
cratic State convention will resemble an abattior
more than deliberatiye body And individual
Democrats from all over the Union are joining
in the cursing. Wait little while, and the
music viii open from the full orchestra. There
is blood on the moon, and IL will soon fall on In-
diana in torrents.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON March 2.-Mr. Hendricks was
at the Capitol to-day. He first called at the
Senate, and was heartily greeted in the lobby.
Afterwards he took a stroll over to the House,
meeting many gentlemen along the way. AT
the House he was given a regular ovation by the
Democrats. They clustered around man who
is credited with possessing sufficient influence
with the new President to defeat Mcdonald for
a Cabinet position, and viewed him with com
bination of ave. curiosity and reverence. He
met all the Democratic MEMBERS and after an
hour at the Capitol returned to the
hotel where he was visited by nu-
merous distinguished Democrats His callers
were plentiful tonight than at
any time since he arrived The announcement
that Hendricks had really succeeded in convinc
ing Cleveland that it would conduce to harmony
in the party not to have an Indianian in the Cab
met seems TO have impressed members Of his
party with the weight of his influence, and he is
attracting more attention now than few days
ago. Senator Vest of Missouri. said to- might
that he did not believe that Hendricks, in words,
told Cleveland that he ought not ask Mcdonald
to come into the Cabinet but that Cleveland
was informed, by some means, that there
was a bitter feeling entertained by
Mrs. Hendricks towards Mrs McDonald that
the Presidentelect was reminded that one ad-
ministration had been wrecked by jealous
woman, and, although it was many years ago, it
pointed moral and adorned tale that should
be lesson. 1t is said that Hendricks worked
upon Cleveland against Mcdonald through John
Kelly, who disikes the latter, and Is one of Hen
dricks's most plant servants

witnesses introduced testified that Burton was
the owner of a box containing twenty pounds Of
dynamite, which was discovered in the parcel
room at Charing Cross railway station shortly
after the explosion at Victoria station, one year

Mr.. Poland, solicitor for the treasury, stated
that the government would show that Burton
was connected with a Fenian conspiracy in the
United States. The solicitor then gave the de-
tails of the plots to explode London Bridge, the
Parliament house and the Tower-saying he
would show that Burton was connected with all
these plots. Mr.. Poland said the government
would show that Burton arrived at SOUTHAMPTON
on the goth of February, 1884. At Southampton
he bought the portmanteau found at Charing
