Getting to the Front.

Hork Times.
The Nebraska "idIot' Is getting right
square to the front. His idiotic measure
to wrest 10, 900. GOO acres of land from a
few swindlers and restore 1t to the public
domain has become q law. He cracked
1t through the senate in one of the hard
est fight, Of the session, in which he stood
alone, a single ''crank" against the con-
csntrated wisdom and tact of all the
great railway lobbyists In the country,
and their subssryient minlons in the
United States senate. He Is a very ex-
tIaordinary, We may say phenomenal,
"idiot."

Gov. Pierce's Scalp.
Chicago Tribune washington Special,

chicago Tribune Washington Special.
Unless the President should change
his mind, Gov. Gil Pierce of Dakota is
in luck. A gentleman presented to
the President yesterday a lie tier from a
prominent Democrat which recomend-
ed that EGov. Pierce be permitted to
serve out his term. The letter said,
among other pleasant things, that Gov.
Pierce was a good officer, a man of high
character and many accomplishments,
and that, in the administration of the
Territory, he certainly had not been an
offensive partisan, and that he had
appointed good Democrats to some
offices. The President asked the gen.
tleman who presented the letter
whether he also knew Pierce. He said
that he did, and knew that the writer
of the letter had told the truth; where
upon the President said that he had no
desire to disturb good men in Office.
Pierce's friends from this have come to
the conclusion that he may not be
disturbed uutil his. commission expires
The pressure, however, will be very
great to secure his removal, as his com.
mission has still some time to run.

PARIS, June 1l.-At Theirs, in the de-
partment pays,de dome, a murder trial
has been in progress for some days.
Yesterday the court house was crowded
with men and women anxious to wit
ness the closing scenes. When the PEG.
pie were leaving after the adjournment
and were jammed thick and tight upon
the stone stairway leading to the street,
the lofty staircase fell. The scene that
followed was appalling. The immense
and massive masonry crashed down
upon the struggling people, grinding
through their flesh and bones, manning
and m~utilating them in a horrible man
ner. The falling staircase and the
shrleks OF the people in the ruins
caused a panic in the court room, and a
rush took place for the now wrecked
exit. Those in front were unable to
withstand the pressure behind, and
were hurled down upon the men and
women crushed in the falling staircase.
When the panic exhausted itself and
the immense stops had been removed
twenty persons were taken from the
ruins dead. The injured number not
less than one hundred and many will
die of their injuries.

GRANT AND LEE.
The Facts Concerning the Great
Surrender.

|The Facts Concerning the Great
Surrender.
Gen. Grant in his "Memoirs," soon to
be published, describes the Wilderness
campaign and estimates Lees strength
in men, and says he was operating in a
country with which his army was thor
oughly familiar, while to the federal
forces it wa entirely strange. He tells
Of Gen. Lees surrender, and takes occa-
sion to explode the famous story of the
surrender under the apple tree. He
says there was an orchard across the lit
tle'valley from the court house, one tree
of which was close to the road; that
Gen. Babcock reported to him Grant
that he had found Gen. Lee sitting UNI
der this tree, and had brought him
within the federal lines to the house of
a mar named Mclean, where the con-
federate general and one of his staff
were awaiting Gen. Grant. Of their in
terview he says: "When 1 went into
the house I found Gen. Lee. We greet
ed each other and after shaking hands
took our seats. What his feelings were
I do not know. Being a man of much
dignity and impenetrable face it was
impossible to say whether he felt in.
wardly glad that the end had finally
come, or whether he felt sadly over the
result and was too manly to show it,
Whatever his feelings were, they were
entirely concealed from observance.
But my own feelings. which had been
quite apparent on receipt of the letter,
were sad and depressed. I felt like
anything rather than rejoicing at the
downfall of o foe that fought so long
and calamity, and that had suffered SC
much for a cause, which I believe to
be one of the worst for which q people
ever fought, and for which there was not
the least pretext. l do not question
However, the sincerity of the great mass
of those who opposed us. Gen. Lee was
dressed in full uniform, entirely new
and wearing a sword of considerable
value, very likely the sword that hao
been presented him by the state of Vir
gina. At all events it was an e%ntirel,
different sword chan one that would
ordinarily have been worn in tn,

The English Cabinet Crisis.


LONDON, June ia new cabinet will
probably be formed tomorrow.
The queen will reach here this even
ing.
It is believed that the downfall of the
Gladstone ministry will lead to. an
alliance between England and Ger
many, in which case Russia will be
more circumspect in her military move
ments. In fact, should such an alliance
be made Russia will have been defeated
without the firing Of a gun.
1t is the general opinion that the new
conservative cabinet will be as follows:
Marquis of Salisbury, prime minister
and secretary of state for the foreign de.
partment.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, chancellor
of exchequer and leader in the house Of
commons.
Sir Stafford Northcote, who will 20 to
the house of lords, lord president Of the
council.
Lord Randolph Churchill, secretary
of state for India.
Col. Frederick Stanley, secretary oi
state for war.
RUSSIAN SIDE OF 1T.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 1.-THE BELIEF
here is that Harrington, Northcote and
Salisbury will be / n the new English
cabinet. The resignation of Gladstone
will fall far short Of effecting a settle
ment of the Afghan question.
TIE CONSERVATIVE PROGRAM.
LONDON. June 1.-THE ministerial
circle takes its defeat with equanimity
1t is supposed that the cabinet, in view
of the tendency to disruption and in
ternal discord, were willing to take ad
vantage of the chance to resign. The
crisis postpones indefinitely the settle
ment with Russia. The conservatives
will adopt Earl Granville's frontier con
vention, but will insist upon stringen'
guarantees against a further Russian adj
| vance.

The alarming news that comes from

stone ministry-changes the whole as
pect Of the quarrel over Afghanistan.
Today's report states that Lord sauls-

come England's premier. Lord sauls-
bury belongs to the conservative party,

Britain is paramount to any quantity of
