Another Head Drops.
Special to the Globe.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Henry B.
James for many years has been chief of the
customs division of the treasury. He has
been requested to resign by Secretary Man
ming. The position thus vacated is most
important to the department., as the duties
of the chief are to construe the complex
customs laws and regulations. Some years
ago, when Bristow was secretary, James
decided what is known as the ribbon case
in favor of the importer as against the
government. This put Judge Kelley Of
Pennsylvania on the war path, and James
was superseded by Lorin M. Blodgett
of Philadelphia. Subsequently James was
restored to his old position. Secretary
Manning, in accepting his resignation, to
take effect June 1, took occasion to say
that no reflection had been cast on Mr..
James ability or integrity. No official in
timation has been given as to who will sue
ceed Mr.. James, but it is predicted that
Mr.. B. T. Saunders, now deputy commits
sioner of navigation, will be the man. Mr..
Saunders has been in the department for
many years.

Desperate End.

READING, Pa, May 12.-Amandon Kol-
bach, 35 years of age, married, with fam
lily of four children, took dose of arsenic
about midnight and died in violent spasms.
He called his family to his bedside, but
could not articulate when they came. Mr..
Kolbach was a man of robust health and
well connected, and was at one time a mod
eratelv wealthy citizen. He dealt extern
siyeIy in Shenandoah valley timber land
and lately in cattle. Drink and repeated
failures in business brought him to the des-
perate resolution of committing suicide.
During the winter he told his wife he would
die suddenly. He left his family on several
occasions without providing for them.

The Situation Critical.

SpcCidl W tuc
CLARKE's CROSSING, May 12.-Heavy
firing is reported by parties coming in on
Batoches trail as having been heard by
them all day Sunday. 1t is believed here
that Middletons plan of attack is to bonn
bard the half-breed intrenchments until the
reinforcements now on the way from Sas-
katchewan landing can arrive. Then the
plan of attack will probably be to surround
the enemy and force him to capitulate. At
last accounts the steamer NOrthcOte
was moving towards Prince Albert with
orders from Middleton to Irvine to come
forward with his mounted police and invest
the enemy in the rear. But those best ac-
quainted with the breeds and their Indian
allies, and their perfectsystem of signaling,
say that the enemy will be duly advised of
any such movements and leave their. posi-
ton and perhaps scatter in squads about
the country and harass the troops and set
tiers alike, in which case the trouble would
be greatly protracted. Great anxiety is
felt here over the situation.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May lathe Wisconsin
delegation in the next house of representa-
tives consists of Gen. Bragg and Mr..
Rankin. The embarrassing thing about
this is that in recommendations for
appointments the Wisconsin delegation
has to be either unanimous or
tie. The postmaster general has
indicated some willingness to act as an
arbitrator and give the casting vote when
ever there was tie, but he has not taken
any active part in picking out federal
officials in his state, except those who were
to be his own subordinates. He has in
sisted on having something to say about
men to be appointed postmasters,
but he has this prerogative
not simply in Wisconsin, but in all other
states. The judgment of Messrs. Villas,
Bragg and Rankin, regarding several of
the
CANDIDATES FOR APPOINTMENT,
has differed, but the three gentlemen have
met each other in an amicable spirit and all
differences have been harmoniZed by the
appointments of Edward G. Wall as
collector of internal revenue at Milwaukee,
F. q. West as marshal and the decision to
appoint George III. Paul postmaster at Mil
watkee. Bragg and Rankin were agreed
as to Wall and Paul. For marshal Gen.
Bragg recommended Gen. West and Mr..
Rankin recommended a constituent of his
named Horne. Not only does the Wiscon-
sin triumvirate here appear perfectly salts
fed with the arrangement, but
other Wisconsin Democrats say that
the appointment will prove en-
tirely satisfactory at p. home. There
has been some little division among Wis
consin Democrats, Villas, Bragg and Rankin
each having his following, but this slate is
guaranteed to erase all marks of irritation
and restore an
ERA OF GOOD FEELING.
The removal of the late collector of in
ternal revenue was asked for ON the ground
of his offensive partisanship. The
term of the late marshal expired
May 5. AS he has been very active
Republican politician he knew he had no
chance of staying and refused to take an ad
interim appointment, so the judicial district
has beeen without marshal for week.
Postmaster Payne was suspended on ac-
count of his activity as Republican poll
tician. He is described as having been q
very offensive partisan. Mr.. Paul is the
president of the board of regents of
the State university, and under the admin
istration of George Taylor he was railroad
commissioner. He is a man of wealth and
is held in high esteem. Mr.. Wall is com
mission merchant, and Gen. West did good
service during the war and was badly
wounded. He was Republican until
1872, when ne supported Greeley.

MILWAUKEE, May 12.-The burglary
alarm and excitement continues. All eff
forts of the police to trap the robbers are
futile. Late last night another of the same
masked burglars who has been operating SO
successfully for week OF two climbed into
the rear of Edward Friends handsome resi-
dence in the Seventh ward. A servant who
was sleeping in the attic saw the burglar on
the roof and quietly left her room
and alarmed the family. The two
men in the house armed themselves and
then called two policemen. They surrounded
the house and one OF two shots were fired
at the robber, buthe managed to escape un-
harmed, jumping from roof to roof, then to
the ground.
A. L. F. Hibbard, the young man who
swallowed trade dollar, is still suffering
intensely, but he is greatly revived and
there are now hopes of saving his life. Just
how the coin is to be removed is what is
puzzling the physicians.

The Trial OF Dynamiters.

LONDON, May 1S-The trial of Cunning
ham and Harry Burton On the charge of
treason, felony and for the recent dynamite
outrages, was resumed this morning. The
evidence taken to-day is simply a repetition
of the testimony adduced at the preliminary
trial regarding the alleged connection of the
prisoners with the explosion at the Charing
Cross railway station. Weeks evidence
concluded the testimony ON this subject.
Other witnesses testified to the events of
the 18th of May. Attorney General James
said he did not propose thus to. connect the
prisoners with the dynamite affairs of that
day, but simply desired to prove the exist
ence of reasonable plots. Other witnesses
were then examined to prove the move
ments of the prisoners from December until
the date of their arrest. Strong evidence
was adduced, connecting Cunningham with
the explosion on the Metropolitan railway,
but the efforts of the prosecution to connect
Burton with the same outrage failed. The
court then adjourned until tomorrow.

in the laundry work. Steinson asked on
Tuesday that his wife be restored to him.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-The modest
little one-story frame church where Gar
field used to worship was sold a few weeks
ago to a lumber dealer in this city, and was
to-day taken to pieces. The price paid was
$3.50. A local colored society offered $500
for the building, but the city authorities re-
fused to allow it to be moved, alleging that
repeated removals had weakened the Struc-
ture SO much as to make its occupancy dam
gerous. The church was an old-fashioned
little structure, whose counterpart could
only be found in the backwoods
settlements of the older Southern or East
ern states. The society was very poor and
the membership exceedingly small. Some
times the congregation would be without
pastor for several weeks. On such occa-
Sions Garfield. who was regular colnmuni-
cant, would occupy the pulpit. After his
election to the presidency the little church
sufficient sum had been subscribed to build
a $50, 600 edifce, upon tine dedication of
which the original church was forsaken.
New Minister to Spain.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Gov. Thomas
c. Reynolds of st. Louis returned to the
city to-day after some days absence and re-
sumed the work on his report of the South
American commission, which he hopes to
make of considerable commercial value. It
may be stated on very excellent authority
that the appointment of Gov. Reynolds as
minister to Spain is determined
upon at the state department.
Formal announcement of the fact will
not, however, be made for some time, per-
haps not for several weeks, and it is the
wish of the secretary that Minister Foster
shall complete certain investigations upon
the subject of the proposed treaty which are
in the nature of unfinished business. AS be-
tween Mr.. Bayard and Minister Foster and
between Mr.. Bayard and Gov. Reynolds
there is perfect understanding that the
change indicated above is to be made. 1t is
probable that another consulship will be
given to Missouri, and the states account
will then be considered settled.
