THE CASE OF ORTIZ STEIN.
The Jury Returns Verdict of AcQuittal on
the Charge of Killing Fredericks.

KANSAS Cry. March 26.-The jury returned a
verdict, this morning, acquitting Orth Stein,
formerly city editor of the Evening Star, who
shot and killed George Fredericks, proprietor of
variety theater in this city, in June, 1882. The
quarrel arose over STEMS attentions to Freder-
icks's mistress, woman named Hartine, and
ended in the shooting of Fredericks on the stair
way as the two men were leaving her room, late
at night. The woman was the only witness to
the shooting, and testified against Stein. The
plea Of the defendant was self-defense At a
former trial he was found guilty and sentenced
to twenty five years, but obtained new trial,
resulting to day in acquittal.

GENERAL GRANT.
He Takes Short Drive, Accompanied by
Senior Romero and His Doctors.

New YORK, March 26-Said DR.. Douglas.
after visiting General Grant this evening: 1.-The
General slept continuously until o'clock
this morning and after that ftfuly until A. M He
took food as usual to-day. Between and o'clock
the General, Senior Romero, the Mexican minister
and myself drove four miles through the park,
one mile less than yesterday. The General
rested after his return, though there was no ap-
parent fatigue from the drive, and then his depo-
siton was taken in the case of Mr.. Fish. This
lasted an hour, and there was no evidence of the
General having been exhausted by the examina
tior, He is quite we'll to night as he was
last night, which is remarkably good, because
these two last days have been exceedingly de-
pressing to everyone. The Generals pulse ard
temperature tonight are about as low as they
ever were. There is no particular change in the
throat condition. DR.. Barker was with me to-
day. and DR.. Shrady was with me yesterday"
Statement of the Case in a Medical Paper.
NEW YORK. March 26.-The following will ap-
pear in the Medical Record of March %:
During the past week General Grant has
been in comparatively comfortable condition.
The insomnia with which he has been affected
has been controlled so that he obtains by the
aid of anodynes, normal amount of sleep. He
has not lost fiesh and his powers of assimilation
are not impaired. At a weekly consultation,
which was attended by Drs. J. H. Douglas. H.
B. Sands and George F. Shrady, it was decided
that the local disease is still in allegiance, and
that the area of liberation had not percepti-
bly, increased. Virtually, the same sta
tionary tendency was noticed by DR..
Fordyce Barker, who has visited
the distinguished patient at intervals during
that period. The swelling under the right angle
of the lower jaw is somewhat greater, but the
gland in that situation is not more indurated
nor has it become more firmly fixed. The ulcer
ated surfaces in the throat ard on the tongue
are covered by yelowish exudation, to which
alternate applications of lime water and a weak
solution of permanganate of potash have
been effectually made by DIR.
Douglas. The topical remedies employed
have had their desired effect in reducing the
local irritation and in perceptibly checking the
progress of infltration. There is no pain in
swallowing. No fear is at present entertained
of any sudden failure of vital powers, nor of any
encroachment of the ulcerative process upon the
neighboring blood vessels. The General is able,
with no other assistance than that of his cane,
to walk about his rooms ascending and descend
ing stairs, and was strong enough to enjoy an
airing in his carriage during the fine afternoon
of Wednesday,"

BAD CASE OF swELLED HEAD.

Alarming Developments in the Case of the
New Postmaster General.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 26-Colonel Villas, of
Wisconsin, the first Democratic Postmaster
general since the war, is suffering from very
severe attack of swelled head. Colonel Villas is
comparatively young man. He has not been
government official very long, and from present
indications he will not serve out the average
term of his predecessors, which, during the last
decade, has been about one year. Colonel Villas
holds the portfolio to which more work attaches
than to any other in the Cabinet. He seems to
understand fully the Importance of his position,
and likewise the much greater Importance
of William F. Villas. While the Secretary
of the Treasury and the other Cabinet
officials are making manly effort to
simplify the work of their various
departments, Villas seems to be winding as
much red tape around himself as possible. The
result is that the Postofice Department has
fallen further behind during the past three
weeks than it ever did in three years before
There is SO much fcrmality about all the pro-
ceedings under the Wisconsin Colonel that the
administration of postal affairs is practically at
a stand-still. Villas has surrounded himself with
SO many safeguards against intrusion that it is
absolutely impossible for any one having busi-
ness with him to approach him at any time. He
has given orders that no cards shall be sent in
except during couple of hours on three days of
each week, when ofice-seekers are received by
the Drove and it is impossible to reach him.
One gentleman who has been trying to see this
young emperor, to ask him question in rela-
ton to postal affairs has called not less than ten
different times, and each time has been refused
an audience with the Grand Mogul. who is rap
idly fading away, consumed with an absorbing
idea of his own immense Importance The ordi-
nary American citizen can gain an audience with
the President after waiting twenty minutes.
Fifteen will suffice to insure view of Secretary
Bayard's face. Ten minutes will cover the time
required to see both Endicott and Whitney
Garland can be reached in three minutes from
the time the door opens. Manning and Lamar
are always accessible-but after three weeks un-
ceasing effort many have had to go away with
out view Of the face of the Postmaster general

MINOR MENTION.

Expectation of a Vigorous Discussion of tho
Mormon Question Next Winter.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal. \
WASHINGTON, March 26.-It is the universal
belief here that the decision of the Supreme
Court on Monday, which practically nulliies the
anti-polygamy law, will result in renewed
and much more vigorous discussion Of the Nor
mon question next winter than has ever before
been heard in Congress. The utter defiance OF
the laws os God and Congress by the Mormon
leaders has aroused some of the less active
opponents of the last vestige of barbarism into
full sense of tho magnitude of the Mormon
question: and already there is talk of an early
settlement of the subject when Congress meets
next December. Heretofore, however, the
Mormon allies have been able to defeat adverse
legislation and there are grave fears that their
power is still too strong to be soon overcome

that if necessary, Indian soldiers will be en-

The Standard says: 1.-THE calling out of the

the militia comprise only 10000 men.
This number can easily be spared from the ag

erations now being made indicate that the Cabi-
net consider it more probable that war
will be declared than that an amicable
settlement of the difficulty will be reached. The
nation is in mood to settle the business, once
and for all. The general impression is that Eng
land is better prepared for war now than she

treated to such a regime of self-denial
that there is little 10 lose through war. Never
was there such time in the present generation
when the nation would so calmly accept as nec-
essary that which she would never accept as her
choice"
The Times says: :sWhen Disraeli called out

ns unqus The risks Of sf1srspss rupture wts wts
Russia are now greater than they
were then. The Cars forces are almost at the
gate of Constantnople. Even if the Cabinet
sion after concession, it is now clear that such
policy is as unsafe as it would be dshonorable.
Yielding would ALLEVIATE the Afghans and de-
grade in the eyes of all the people of the East
without in reality averting war which
would only be postponed at most for
three years. Delay would only bene-
fit Russia to the detrirnent of England
Whatever frontier shall be traced, we must pro-
tect the Afghans. 1t will be always in the power
of Russia to provoke a quarrel unless
we convince her that it will not be
to her advantage to do so. Compromise
in the present state of affairs would be repre-
sented as Russian victory, and would produce
opposite convictions in Russian and AT
CHAN minds. We are persuaded that
if Russia, reckoning upon want
of spirit and inadequate resources in Eng
land is preparing herself for war, it will be in
order for her to test the strength Of the cohesion
of her vast empire, which will bring the dreams
of her ambitious statesmen and soldiers to a
cruel ending"

What Is Said at Constantinople.

CoNsTANT1NoPLE, March 26.-In political cir
cles here it is thought that in the event of war
between Russia and England the fighting will
not be confined to the Afghan frontier, but will
extend to the Black sea. 1t is rumored that
Great Britain has already sounded the Porte in
regard to obtaining permission to pass the OAR
danelles in case of war. The prolonged stay in
London of Hassan Tehmi Pasha, the Turkish en-
voy is attributed to belief that the Afghan
troubles are more likely than the Egyptian ques-
tion to effect, under certain conditions, an
alliance between Turkey and England.
