A PROSPECT FOR BLOOD.
The Observation-Disclosures Unpleasantness
Assumes Very Bitter Phase.

ST. Louis, March l0-The personal and polit
ical controversy which has ragged with merciless
anmosity for sometime past between Gov Mar
maduke, of this State. and Mai C. C. Rainwater
prominent citizen of St. Louis and possible
Democratic candidate for mayor of this city
has just assumed another and very bitter phase
and one likely to attract general attention.
Yesterday, Gov. Marmadukc gave out to report
ers at jefferson City, as news, an affidavit bear
ing the signature of Rob't. G. Pate, a well-known
horseman and keeper of keno rooms in this city.
alleging that in 1875 he paid money for tho priv
llege OF running keno rooms here, and that his
understanding was that the money was for the
benefit OF L. Harrigan chief of poice of the city.
and Maj Ralnwater, who was then the execu-
tive officer OF the board OF police commissioners.
To-day Maj. Ralnwatef publishes an open letter
to Gov. Marmaduke, in which he treats the mat
Ter in the most bitter and scathing terms. de-
nOunces the affidavit as most infamous lie, and
says he believes that those whoread it will agree
with him that the man who becomes party to
the circulation of such outrageous statements
on such basis, is a triie worse than the scoun-
drel who originated the item. be that man
gambler or a governor. Maj. Harrigan, who is
again chief Of police also prOnounces the affda.
Wit monstrous lie, and states that written
acknowledgment tnat It Is a lie is in existence.

The Crowd of Spoils- Hunters.

Washington Special to Philadelphia Times
If what's heard and seen on every hand in the
national capital just now has any significance as
to what President Cleveland is going to do, all
the civilservice gossip we have been treated to
a snare for those in Office. There is scarcely a
man to be found among the hungry and thirsty
hordes crowding the hotel lohbies who takes any
stock in civil-service reform processes to be-
lieve in Cleveland's nteelection promises There
is an immense crowd, too, and most of it is here
on personal business. This crowd, to glance at.
is something like the crowd one sees at Demo
cratic national convention little more nattily
dressed, perhaps, certainly more genteel as a
crowd. But it reminds one of convention il,
activity of chin, demand for LIQUID refreshment
and in conversation. 1t is silk -hattcd crowd.
so far as rulc, the Southern slouch, of which
so much has been expected not having turned
up to any considerable extent There is no tell
ing what may come to pass after tho walking is
better. At present the office seekers gathered in
Washington appear to have come in palace cars.
A good many have been here long enough to have
q familiar look
One cannot help thinking while noting the
generous way in which these fine fellows live,
whether their money will last fortnight longer.
and if it doesn't last whether they can borrow
enough to last the next three or four months,
unless sooner convinced. This telegraphing for
more funds OH the I'VE are sure to get there"
plan has already begun. If you say ANYTHING OF
the possibility of President Cleveland making
few removals to these fellows they will simply
look at you in a. threatening contemptuous
manner and swear. General sweep is the most
popular general here at present. From the lead
ing gossip it would appear that every important
Office in the country will be changed before tho
month is out

The resolution offered yesterday by Mr.. Hoar,

and Collision Imminent.
LONDON, March 10.-Sir Peter Lumsden tele-
graphs yia Meshed afghan scouts report that
small detachment of Russians has advanced to
Nibalshenia, the furthest southwest point on
the Heri Rud which is claimed tor the Russian
frontier. The advance does not complicate the
work of delimitation, but endangers q collision
with the Afghans"
The Pail Mall Gazette says it believes in the
correctness of the news received last evening, to
the effect that the Russians have advanced their
outposts in Zulfkar Pass further south, instead
of Withdrawing north. as requested by
England. The Gazette states that
there can be no doubt that grave fears
are entertained of collision between Russian
and Afghan troops, as this last advance has
placed botn outposts face to face, and taken the
Russians much nearer Afghan territory. There
is no indication, says the Gazette, that the Rus
slams have gone beyond what they consider the
Afghan boundary line.
The Times states that the Russians have ad
vanced further into Afghan territory, and a col
lision is imminent The Afghans are prepared
to withstand an attack, and the British govern
ment has ordered General Sir Petcr Lumsden to
organize system of defense. The Ameer of
Aghanistan has requested England to fortify
Herat, SO it can be defended by Afghan troops.
The Times, in an editorial. says: 1--WE believe
the main body of General Lumsden's troops has
occupied Robat Pass. 1t is hoped General Lums-
denis measures will prevent the capture of the
key of India by coup lie main.
If Russia is bent upon war, she has many vul-
nerable points. If she forces England to hostili-
ties, she cannot imagine that the struggle will
be confined to the remote regions of central
Asia"
At a Cabinet council at Cabul, the Ameer and
several of his generals present. 1t was de-
cded to ask the English government to treat
with Russia for restoration of Pull -Khatum and
Penjdeh, but not to make Russian occupation q
