NEW YORK, April 7.---From the
Tribune. of Wednesday morning:
Conden G. Rockwell. brother-in-law
Of Mrs. Garfield received q letter re-
garding the newspaper stories about
her reported intention to marry
again, written April 4th) from
which we take the responsibility of
making an extract. 1t will he seen
that she deemed dignified denial by
her friends might be proper but
nothing as it seems to us can be more
proper and effective than her own
womanly word, as follows: "This
cruel rumor which seems to have
been af1oat for a few months did
not reach me until three days ago.
Nothing that has ever been said
about me has 80 hurt and offended
me as this, and the deepest humilia-
tion of it is that so many are ready
to believe it. To me it seems just as
much an insult to be asked whether
it is true as it would be, were the Cen
eral still here, that any one can think
me capable of being false to his men,
ory, seems like being regarded as a
crinlinal. A dignified denial by my
friends, I suppose, can do no harm,
still it hurts me to feel that any de-
nial is needed

As the British had promised TO help
the Afghans beat off any external en-

firmest manner stand side by side

Ex-Governor Fletcher.

New YORK, April IA special
from Laredon, Texas, says: Ex-Gov-
ernor Fletcher Of Missouri, who has
just been recognized here, had ten
days growth OF white beard, while
his mustache and hair were dyed
raven black, giving him peculiar
appearance; he wore a dark suit of
clothes and blue flannel shirt, and
his only baggage was an overshlrt
done up in a shawl strap. He
seemed completely worn out; his
eyes had a dim, weary look, as
though he was suffering mentally.
The Governor last evening boarded
the train, ostensibly for st. Louis,
carrying with him an assortment OF
railroad maps and advertisements.
The probabilities are that the Il W
ernor may change his mind and take
a trip somewhere before going to St.
Louis.

Chased Chinese Court Conclu-

Chased Chinese Circuit Court Conclu-
SAN FRANCISCO, April 8.-A pro-
cession which attracted but little at
tention at the time, is now known to
be productive of serious and prOba-
bly, in some cases, fatal results. The
City Coroner on Sunday last organ
lied on the sand lots an anti Chinese
procession, and headed by two bands
of music, paraded the city. Before
starting he harangued the crowd on
the Chinese evils. The result was
that every Chinaman who happened
to cross the route of the procession
lists was chased by them aud ill treat
ed if caught. 1t was supposed at the
time thet the Cinnamon were more
frightened than hurt. Colonel Bee,
Chinese Consul, states to-day, how
ever, that an investigation shows that
twenty Of them were badly injured,
many being badly cut about the head
one fatally injured. The original
intention of the Coroner was to
parade his band through Chinatown.
Had he done so there would have
been large butchery of Cinnamon.

Trouble in Tennessee.

NASHVILLE. April 1.-The Re
publican memters Of the State Sen.
ate in order to prevent the passage OF
a certain bill, absented themselves
at roll call yesterday. The Sergeant,
by authority of the SPEAKER, arrested
Senator Ramsey, one of the absent
ees, last night. Judge Reid, OF the
circuit court ordered Ramsey to be
brought before him on habeas cor
Dus application this morning. In
the meantime Ramsey was brought
before the Senate IN executive session
and the sheriff was refused admit
tance to serve the writ. Not till the
Senate adjourned WAS Ramsey re.
leased. The Republican members t.aen OF OF
the Senate give as all explanation o.
their action, that they regard the BILL
which was one in regard to reg'stra-
tion. as an attempt to disfranchlse
several thousand Republican voters.
The Democrats claim that the on)ect
of the blll is to prevent importation
Of illegal voters into the chief cities.

Rome, New York, to President Cleve-
land, in which Palmer claims his re-
moval was based upon report, the
charges in which he never had an
opportunity to deny, that chance
for defending himself had been prom
ised, and the senate having before
it the papers submitted to the
President did not conclude that
the interest of the governmen;
or vindicatlon of the law required
a removal. The letter thus concludes,
Il would further respectfully repre-
sent tuat your Excellency having
nominated to the Senate an appointee
for Postmaster in my place, and that
appointment not having been with
drawn before the adjournment of the

The West Indian Treaty.

i. LONDON, April 8. - The Foreign
Office has published correspondence
respecting the negotiations of Great
Britain and the United States for a
commercial treaty to control the trade
with the British West Indies. The
first document is letter from Lord
Granville, British Foreign Secretary,
to Sackville West, British Minister
at Washington. The letter Is dated
October 25Jh, 1884. Lord Granville
states that the British West Indian
Colonies are willing to abolish duties
on bread, buscuits, butter, cheese,
oorn, meals of all kinds, -four; lard,
Enber, kerosene oil, meal and oil
cake, on condition that the United
States should reduce the duty on
sugar at least one-half. Some of the
Colonies were also willing to abolish
the duties on hams, meats, shocks
and staves.
Minister West wrote to Lord Gran
vile, under date of November Goth,
1884, that the United States desired
a wider basis for the treaty; also tn at
the advantages conceded to the
OAllCN Ol0CC0 0lOuIu AOI OO COACCuGu
gratis to any third parties, under the
favored nation clause. On Deem
Der 4th, Minister West forwarded to
Lord Granville, Secretart Freling-
huysen's draft Of a counter treaty.
This is an elaborate document, IN
which $50 articles: ARE scheduled, and
in which the United States agrees to
abolish the duty on sugars under the
grade of No. 16. In a letter &C.
compsnying the draft Secretary Ere
linghuysen insisted upon the exclu-
sion of third parties Us indispensable
Sir John Lubbock, Mp, estimated
that the proposed treaty would cause
loss of revenue to the United States
of e., 5000 per annum, while the
colonies would only lose 81, 800, 900
He strongly urged the acceptance of
the American proposition, and Min
lister West endorsed his views. On
February IL, 1885, Lord Granville
wrote to Minister West that it was
impossible to accept the proposals of
the United States. He said they
would revOlutlOnize the convention
al stipulations which govern the
commerce of all nations, wonld
render the favored nation clause a
a fruitful subject for dispute, and
would infringe upon the internation-
al law.
Lord Granville mlnutely criti
cized the points of the proposed
treaty. He expressed his regret that
he was compelled to reject it, and
hoped that an agreement would be
effected sooner or later. Lord Gran
vile forwarded copy Of this dis
patch to the Colonial Officer, accom-
panied by a note, in which he said
the concessions proposed by the
United States were more apparent
than real, and that the proposals
lacked thu essential elements of sta
hility-

There was no return of the hemOr-
