LONDON, April 23.-The Daily News
says there is reason to believe that Russia
declines to make further inquiry concern
ing the Penjdeh incident. The News also
says that the negotiations with Turkey
tend towards satisfactory arrangement in
the war, and that it is reliably reported
that England is negotiating with the Italian
government for the occupation of a portion
of Egypt by Italy. The News says editor
tally: We wish we could encourage the
idea that negotiations with Russia are lead

we fear the reverse. No disposition is
shown by Russia to retreat from the false
position she has assumed. Forbearance

little further extension on the part Of Eng

WASHINGTON, April 22.-The numerous
declinations of diplomatic appointments to-
day have again brought forward the name
of ex-GOv. Thomas G. Reynolds of ST.
Louis, and it is believed he will be named
shortly for one of the vacant missions. The
governor is now here and it is
known that he stands high in
the estimation of Secretary Bayard.
He is yet named as the probable successor
of Minister Foster, but there is some doubt
surrounding the date Of Mr.. Fosters resig-
nation. The Washington Critic publishes
a strong editorial Endorsement Of Gov. Rey-
nolds, and the Missourians are jubilant
over the prospect. =

CHICAGO, April 22.-People who were
in the vicinity of Madison and Clark streets
early this evening were Mortified by an ac-
cident of peculiar and most painful char
acter. Charles b. Schultz, an cleo
trician, stood on the top round
of a ladder, IA feet from the
sidewalk, adjusting dimly burning
electric light. Losing his balance, he
grasped both rods which support the lamp
and through which current was passing.
He was unable to let go and hung, writhing
to the swinging lamp, until some one had
stopped the engine which supplied the cur
rent when he fell to the sidewalk dead.

Joe Hatton in Boston Herald.
Mr. Ashmead Bartlett, member of parlia-
ment for Eye, is not always wise or discreet in
his public utterances; but he has given the
Russo-Afghan question very close and deep
attention. and during the last two years has
been continually drawing attention to the
advance of Russia in Central Asia. He
reminds me now that in 1873 Mr.. Gladstone
and the Duke of Argyll refused the Ameer.

by their inert refusal drove him into the

1878 inevitable:' and Dir. Ashmead Bart

now being enacted by the present govern

his shrewd chieftains maintain the British
alliance when they find Mr.. Gladstone's
cabinet again backing down before the Ie-
gions OF the great White Gar? They will

forced to do and then the deluge."

tween Russia and Afghanistan would. with

England and for India. Once or twice

Another Refuses to Resign.


WASHINGTON, April 22.-Another pub
lie officer emulating the example of Miss
Sweet, at Chicago, refuses to resign. This
is W. E. Craig, collector of internal revenue
for the Sixth district of Virginia. His
office is not protected by the tenure of Office
act. Mr.. Craig bases his refusal to resign
on the ground that the commissioner of
internal revenue has no right to demand it.
In other words, he wants the president to
apply the tip of his boot in order to make a
vacancy. Some of these balmy spring days
the president will get tired of this treatment
at the hands of Republican officials. He
will get his dander UP and
possibly a general order will ema-
nate from the White house, which
will send to private life at one fell swoop
all the office-holders of the Republican
faith who are not buttressed by the civil
service and tenure of Office law. The presi-
dent is trying to be decent with Republican
office-holders, but they are crowding the

1.-The First Passenger Of--Char-
acter Sketches.

The arrival Of the first steamboat of the
season was once an occasion OF considera-
BILE importance in St. Paul, and indeed at
all river ports. In those ante-railroad days
d goodly portion of the population were
wont to assemble at the docks ready to
greet the incoming marvel with cheers and
the waving of handkerchiefs. Those were
proud moments for the steamboat captain,
when, after rounding the bend below, he
caught sight of the crowd and the empty
wharf, and became assured that his was
lhe first boat up. That meant wharfage
free and limitlesS liOniZng on the part OF
boat owners. cOnsigneeS, passengers, hotel
prCprietors and newspapers. Then, to be a
steamboat man meant something more than
in the present.
Recalling these days Of departed glory
and excitement. the river veteran must
have read, with something Of pang at the
contrast, in the daily papers of yesterday
paragraph announcing the first arrival Of
he present season, concluding with the
statement that none were present TO wit
ness the mOOrage, excepting few dock
WallOpers.'" As a matter Of fact, there
were present at the arrival OF the first boat
this year one or two individuals who de-
cline to accept the above classification of
the reception committee Of 1885. An eX-
ception is herewith pleaded and an attempt
made to afford a somewhat elaborate idea
of the incidents attending the first arrival.
The boat was first said to be due at
o'clock in the afternoon. Then the time
was successfully extended to 4 and 5

a Tennessee river town, in Decatur county,
was annihilated last night by an incendiary

one of the inhabitants. The property lost
embraced large hotel, the river ware

fine residences. Nothing remains of the
thriving little town but the debris OF the
fallen buildings. The loss cannot now be
estimated. Peryville had no telegraphic

politicians that applications for state offices
should be forwarded to Washington through

correspondents. The president did not ex-
