Anxiona Franchman.

PARIS, March 3l.-Much alarm is felt
over the fact hat no news has been re
ceived for upwards of t~hirty-six hours
from the French army in Tonquin.
LATER.-The government has received
a dispatch from De EIlse, commander of
the French forces in Tonquin. He en-
treats the war office to send him rein
forcements Immediately.
The chamber of deputies unanimously
voted the first installment, amounting to
$40, 600, 600, of the Tonquin credit of $40,-
600, 900 asked by Ferry yesterday, before
the resignation of his cabinet. The depu-
ties voted to reserve action on the remain
ing $40. 600, 900 until the formation of the
new ministry.
The war department continues its prepa-
rations to hasten the dispatch of troops to
Tonquin. Ten thousand men and four
batteries of artillery leave Marseilles Sat
urday. All available transports at Bor-
deaux, Havre and Marseilles are chartered
by the government. The first reinforce
ments are timed to reach Hanoi May 18th,
when the rainy season, which commences
about April Goth, will be at its height. 1t
is hoped the rains will assist Gen. De
LIsle in his defense, and permit the
French gunboats to penetrate the canals
of Delta, The French troops in Formosa
will evacuate the island and go to Hanoi.
Advices from Kelune say the Chinese
completed the destruction ofthe coal mines
near that place, having exploded the gal
leries with dynamite and flooded the mines.

Pearson's Appointment.

WASHINGTON, March 3l.-A gentle
man very near the president and un-
doubleday speaking fom actual knowl-
edge, reports that the disappointment of
Postmaster Pearson, of New York, was
made after 4. most patient examination of
all the facts connected with charges
against him and his answers to the same,
which was yesterday submitted to and
read by the president The appointment,
therefore, may be considered a complete
y~indication of Pearson. The re-appoint-
ment of Pearson will constitute a notable
exception to the course which the presi-
dent may be expected to pursue. The
New York post office is the largest and
most important in the country, and of
interest to all the people, and especially
to the vast business enterprises centered
at the metropolis. 1t is to-day considered
a complete illustration of the successful
application OF civil service reform prin-
ciples to an immense governmental es-
tablishment.
This condition. added the gentleman
above referred to. has been brought
about very largely by the intelligent eff.
forts of Mr.. Pearson" His retention
was earnestly requested by a large number
of business men Of the city, some Demo
Gratis and some Republicans, and very
generally by Independent Republicans
who did such good service in support o
the Democratic candidates in the las
campaign. It is further authoritivel,
learned that this act of the presiden
must not be regarded as indicating tina
in other cases those opposed to the part,
of the president will either be %appointe,
or retained after the expiration of thei
terms Of office. In answer to the sug
g%estion that the re-appointment of Pear
son might create great dissatisfaction il
the ranks Of his party, the president ]
represented as saying: The Democrat
party is neither hynocrtical, unpatrioti
nor ungrateful.
