ENGLAND AND RUSSIA.
The Views Which Gen. Lumsden Will Pre-
sent to the English Cabinet,

CONsTANTINoPLE, June 4.-Sir Peter Lums-
den has left for London, where he expects to
meet the Cabinet on Saturday. He viii un-
doubtedly tell its members some wholesome
truths for, although automatically reticent on
special points, he has not locked his lips on
general topics regarding Russia's views toward
the Ameer or Sultan. He was unreservedly of
opinion that an early date, and not in years but
in months possibly days, fresh complications
must arise on Afghan matters. He is of the
firm opinion that the desert as neutral zone
was the only basis for frontier arrangement
Complications will soon arise between the Rus
slams and Afghans at the frontier about the
question of the water supply, that, with gold
forms pivots of all central Asia politics. Nearly
all the Russo Persian disputes have turned on
questions of water use. Persia has been COM
PEELED at times to relinquish the right
to use water sources for irrigation when
ever, being distant from these, Russia
required the water for military or commercial
purposes. The Murghab is the first river in
central Asia with full stream. The next Rus
sian acquisition will assuredly be the watershed
of the Murghab valley. Sir Peter is further of
the opinion that the Ameer's army now numbers

in the Vicinity.

Cyclone Does Great Damage at Alden and
in the Vicinity.
ADEN June A cyclone has damaged prop
erty here to a large amout
Latest reports of the damage done by the cy-
clone show it to have been the most disastrous
that has visited this region at least since British
occupation in 1889. The wind destroyed nearly
every bungalow or cottage in Alden. The iron
roof over the government shed on the jetty was
blown away and great damage done the
shipping at anchor in the port.
Many barges were sunk and a number of stsem
launches and men-of- war boats driven ashore.
The men -ofwar Turquoise and Reindeer were
driven by the force of the wind so hard that
both broke their moorings and narrowly escaped
being wrecked. Steamers which have arrived
since the subsistence of the cyclone nearly all
report the loss of boats and other equipments.
The Eastern telegraph lines are all broken.

Middleton Approaches Within Three Miles of
the Indians, but They Get Away.

BATTLEFORD, June 4.-Only one courier has
arrived here since General Middleton left. He
reports that General Strange has had three en-
gagements, in the last of which one man was

was killed by shell. General Middleton has
arrived within three miles south of Big Bears

A telegram from Medicine Hat says Sergeant
Jackson, in charge of a detachment of rangers
furnishing protection to the men of the Calf
railway, while scouting, came upon band of
thirty or forty Indians on foot, about thirty
miles south of Medicine Hat evidently in posi-
ton for a. night attack upon the railway men
and stock. Thinking them to be bloods, who
are still loyal, Jackson made friendly signs.
They responded by leveling rifles at him, and
Jackson took to cover with his horse.
Several volleys were fred and Jack
son stood his ground till his ammunition
was expended. He then returned on the road to
camp and reported to Major Stewart, who, with
every scout, Immediately left in pursuit. Trav
cling all night they reached the point of attack
pluckv defense. The trail of the Indians was
found on Pigeon creek. Stewart has pursued
the Indians, but the proximity to the border will
probably take them out of the reach of attack.
A large number of bloods are off the reserve,
moving north and east, which has necessitated
Captain Cotton moving out from Fort Mcleod
with twenty mounted men, in the direction of
Stewards district for reinforcement, if neces-
sary. Several small bands have been seen in
the vicinity of the head of the Cypress mount
aims, but they are moving in the direction of the
boundary. The district from Cypress hills to
Lethbridge is covered by patrol parties, who will
render impossible junction of the southern and
northern Indians"

THE COLERIDGE LIBEL.

Beginning of the Adams Suit Against the
Lord Chief-Justice.
LONDON, June 4-The action for libel against
Marten Adams, based upon attacks on his char
acter made by the defendant in letters to mutual
friends, for the purpose of prejudicing Miss
Mildred Coleridge, whom Adams was courting,
against him, was brought to trial in the Court
of Appeal to-day. Adams appeared
as his own counsel. and in open
ing bis case made a very long address to
the court He complained of Justice Manisty's
conduct while presiding over the trial of the action
for libel which was last year brought against
Bernard Coleridge, son of the Lord Chiefjustice,
for writing letters defamatory of him to Miss
Coleridge for the express purpose OF dissuading
her from marrying him. The summing up by
Justice Manisty, Adams contended. was preiu-
diced. Justice Manisty told the jury" contin-
ued Adams, "that could not supsist unaided;
that l had no home for Miss Mildred Coleridge.
Thank God, have happy home, if have
not gorgeous one, and trust my home will be
equally happy for Miss Mildred. Justice Man
isty all but implied that was swinder. Ber
nard Coleridge, in that case did not dare enter
the witness box to attempt to justify the at
tacks he made upon his sister and myself in his
letters to Miss Mildred" Adams concluded by
asking the court to quash the judgment Of
Justice Manisty, who reversed the jurys verdict,
and dismissed the case with costs to the plant
iff.
Attorney general James replied to Adams by
dwelling at length upon the legal aspects of the
case upon the question of privileged communica-
tion, and upon the rights and duties Of parent
and brother in warning daughter and sister
against taking steps which they believe impru-
dent or dangerous. Judgment in the case will
be delivered tomorrow.

One of the "Reforms."

Washington Special.
One Of the commend lble acts of President
Arthurs administration was the issue of an
order reducing the number of internal revenue
districts of the country because of the reduction
of taxation and the consequent decrease in the
work required of collectors A saving of sala-
ries, as well the cutting down of the expenses
of running separate Offices was effected by the
order, and on the whole, throughout the coun-
try, the amount saved was considerable When
the present administration took hold there was
great pressure brought to bear to have the
collection districts in many cases put back at the
old number, so as to make more Offices for the
hungry crowd who demand the fruits of the vic
tory of last fall. North Carolina, for instance,
had three districts, which were consolidated into
two. Within few weeks the politicians of that
State have been laboring to have the old ar
rangement of three districts restored, and have
succeeded. This plan will be followed elsewhere,
and the number of places multiplied. The party
wants all the spoils it can get

Ruskin's Autobiography.

LONDON, June 4.-The first part Of Mr. John
Ruskin's autobiography has appeared. In the
preface he says: II have written frankly
and garrulously of what gives me JOY to
remember, passing in total silence things
which give me no pleasure in reviewing. My
mothers influence in molding my charac-
ter was conspicuous. She forced me to learn,
daily, long chapters of the Bible by
heart To that discipline and patient, accurate
resolve 1 owe not only much of my general pow
er of taking palms, but the best part of my taste
for literature. To the same puritantcal training,
Ruskin attributes his power of contemplative
imagination.
His father taught him habits of close observa-
tion during a series of excursions through
England and Scotland Public interest in the
issue is not great but in literary and artistic cir
cles extraordinary interest is manifested.

Increased Work at the White House.

Washington Special.
When Colonel Lamont undertook the reorgan-
ization of the force of White House clerks, he
removed two or three whom he considered USE
less appendages. In consequence, the employees
who were retained and the others who were
appointed to fill some OF the vacancies are
greatly overworked. The business Office of the
White House is illuminated the greater part of
every night, and the clerks labor until late
hour trying to catch up with their work The
increase of work caused by the multitude of
office seekers, in briefng and filing away the
applications, is sufficient to warrant doubling
of the force, rather than Diminishing it.
