General Sheridan in following the instructions OF
President Grant in reference to the Louisiana Lesrs

1876 1T was generally supposed that Mr.. Evarts
sympathized with the candidacy of Governor Iilden
for President until within a very few days OF the
election. 1t was intimated to me, as CHAIRMAN ol
the New-York State Committee, that MI. Evarls
would probably accept an invitation 10 SPEAK II

"Mr. Eyarts made a Republican speech in New

ing to his own confession in 1882 he refused TO
speak for so excellent candidate for Governor as
the late Judge Folgcr. who appealed personally To
him for his aid in the canvass. In 1883 Mr. EvaTts
made one Republican speech, and IN sSl he SPOKE

FRANKFORT-oN- rHE-MAIN, Jan. IA reward
Of $3.50 has been offered for the discovery of the
murderer of Police Commissioner Rumpf. The
dagger with which the deed was committed twice
penetrated the heart of its victim. No robbery was
committed. 1t is presumed that vengeance was tho
motive for the crime
After the first dynamite outrage at Frankfort in
1888, Rumpf sent spy into tho inner circle Of the
Anarchists and through him discovered the threads
of the whole conspiracy. The inquiry into the
second plot. which was against Rumpf
himself, led to the discovery of the
Nederwald conspiracy Rumpff received numer
Ous letters threatening him with DEATH
The police are displaying unusual activity at
Frankfort, Mayence, Damstadt and Mannheim.
Railway depots are guarded, trains are searched
and travellers required to prove their identity
Several arrests have been made.

ten years scrvitude while the other three were ac-
quttad. The police are reticent in regard 10 the
murder of Herr Rurnph but state that there is no
donbt that friends of the condemned anarchists

TONQUIN TO BE OCCUPIED.
NJ. FERRY ANXIOUS TO END THE CAMPAIGN

THE FRENCH FORCE TO BE INCREASED AND ACTIVE
MEASURES BEGUN.
LONDON. Jan. 14.-The Central News account
of the proceedings in the French Chamber of Depu-
ties to-day is as follows:
PARIS, Jan. 14.-Premier Ferry this afternoon, in
the Chamber of Deputies, made an official declara-
tion of the Governments intention with regard to
Tonquln. The declaration was partly in answer to
an inteTogatory put forward by the Opposition re-
specting the retirement of General CampeuOn from
the Ministry of War. General Campenon resigned
his portfolio on January because, contrary to his
advice, the Ministry persisted in the Tonquin in
vasion.
NJ. Ferry went bluntly to the point at once. He
announced that the Government intended to in-
crease Immediately its energies in TOnquin and
would not stop until 1t occupied the entire country
up to the frontier Of the Chinese Empire. This
declaration produced profound sensation and was
received with cheers and considerable disapproval.
Among the distinguished visitors who were present
to hear the Ministerial announcement was Prince
Hohenlohe the German Ambassador
NJ. Ferry continuing, said that the operations
necessary to the proposed conquest of Tonquin
would in no wise compromise the French military
strength at home interfere with the necessary
general mobilization. In saying this the Premier
fortified himself with the authority of General
authority more respected by France. There were
three millions of men in the Republic, the best
soldiers III the world, ready to march at moments
notice in the cause of France 1t was impossible
longer to keep the army IN Tonquin crouching
idly like hunters with their eyes fixed upon
single point That was unworthy an army or
France That army must be occupied otherwise.
Tonduin must be entirely occupied. The task was
not difficult. 1t would require but an insignificant
mobilization.
General Lewal, the new Minister of War. in
speaking the military stnatlon, declared that
he was n soldier and had no desire to jnterfere IN
politics He praised General Campenon's devotion
to France. and SAID that he would strive to initiate
il. He denied that the present operations IN
TonauIn would endanger the mobilization OF the
Army in France should occasion therefor arise.
This he said would never be endangered as long
as he should remain Minister of War:
NJ Ferry's speech. besides producing great SEN
satiOn in the Chambers when il was delivered. has
astonnded the Parlsans generally and made them
serious. The general impression IL has made may
be described as bad. People discuss II as If they
dsiked to be forced TO contemplate the probability
of trouble.
After the remarks the Chamber adopted the order
of the day bv a vote of 294 to 234. After this the
Chamber adjourned until January 27.
