CALVES TON FRAUDS.


Galveston, Tex, April 20.-The city
council met in regular session this
evening aud quite crowd were
present expecting that the
mayor would submit his
for the municipal offices.
But these were withheld in Difference
TO request made to the board in
caucus assembled this afternoon.
G. j. Allen, the alderman from the
Twelfth ward, whose seat is being
contested by w. w. Quincy, presented
his resignation on the grounds that he
was too poor to go into contest and
suggesting that a new election be de-
clared. The board refused TO accept
Aliens resignation on the ground
that it would stop investigation and
be an injustice to Mr.. Quincy who is
determined to probe the fraud to the
bottom and show that he was elected
by handsome majority.
II is currently rumored that Allen
resignation was the result of a deeI
laid scheme 10 stitle the investigation
now in progress to lay bare tn
frauds committed in the Eleventh
ward is the vote for mayor. Tn
council after transacting necessar
routine business adjourned.
Tomorrow at 10 u. III. the commit
tee of the whole will meet to conside

nu..,a,s Immense Preparations.

Varna Bulgaria, April 20.--Not-
withstanding the peaceful tendencies
reported from st. Petersburg aud
London, the aspect of the situation
viewed from Constantiuople still
points to war. Russia assuredly
means to touch the utmost limit OF
British forbearance before she would
consent to conclude any arrangements
for avoiding war. A very shrewd
Russian merchant who has extensive
dealings in southern Russia remarked
to me this morning: ado you think
we have moved 100000 men to the
shores of the Caspian to obtain mere
ly a strip of desert? Don't put faith
in newspaper reports. We mean war
unless England timidly grants all we
have wanted. AS for KomaroF the
government will never recall him.
Sbipmasters arriving from Russian
ports all speak of the immensely OF
the military preparations and the in
tense i'll feeling against England. The
Porte still hesitates 20 show its hand
as to neutrality aud tho official press
evidently under instructions, speaks
guardedly. Nevertheless, notes Of
certain European powers respecting
the passage of the Dardanelles re
main unanswered.
The Porte has replied to England
that in the event of war between
England and Russia. Turkey will re
main neutral aud close the Dardanel
les and Bosphorus to men of war. No
tice of this decision has been sent b
the Porte TO all foreign ambassador
at Constantinople.

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.


st. Louis, April Ca Chattanooga
Tenn, special to the Post-Dispatcl
says: A bloody aud sensational TRACE.
dy occurred at Oakdalc junction, near
this city yesterday. Pat Cain, an en-
gino hostler, and Jim First, noted
desperate, went to a saloon and
while in there became engaged In a
bitter quarrel. First finally drew his
pistol and shot Cain through the

THAT ST. LOUIS TRAGEDY.
The inquest on the remains of Prel-
Ter, the Southern hotel trunk-victim,
was resumed this morning; Bauman
and Barimer, who met Maxwell on
the train the night he loft st. Louis,
were examined but nothing new was
elected.
William Roach OF st. Louis, the
next witness recognized the photo
graph of Maxwell, as that of a person
whom fifteen years ago he knew as
Walter Maxwell at Clevedon College,
Northampton, England. His father
was the owner of largepotteries there
and was very wealthy. Iie did NOT
believe Maxwell was ever physician
but thought he tried to pass exami-
nation and failed. His brother was a
physician. Both were very excentric.
Maxwell was never given to study as
he had too much money and was CIV
en- TO going ON sprees. The witness
saw him last in 1870 There was
cousin of his named Walter LennoX
Maxwell who died in 1877. lie was
physician and the witness believed
Maxwell had assumed his cousins
name.
Chief OF detectives Burke, and cap
tain of police Fruchte were next
sworn, but their examination only
covered ground already known. The
inquest was then adjourned until 10
o'clock tomorrow morning.

When Col. Fred Grant left the

was hopeful, and he said his father
passed n better night last night, he
was carly dressed, and when the gen
eral was no worse 1t was safe to as
sumo that he was better. and there
was no doubt he was brighter aud
stronger than he was on Sunday n
week ago. Said the colonel: II did not
believe father would live, but now |
believe he is going through all right.

When DR.. Newman left the house
this evening he said when the general

while; then answered: AS this is
sunday, and prayers for my
recovery have been offered to-day
in many places, perhaps, through

with fur robe upon hisa arm, emerged
from the house and prepared the
carriage. A moncnt later the
general appeared. Eo wore
high hat, about his neck
was u silk scarf, and
closely buttoned about his figure was
heavy beaver overcoat. The gen.
cral carried cane, and walked down
the steps unaided with firm step,
and as he crossed tho tagging he
bowed and smiled, as hundred per-
sons stood there and on the walk
across the street. AS the general was
stepping into the carriage he glanced
nm TO the colored coachman and badC
him good morning, and Harrison, as
he mounted his place with the driver
remarked: THAT don't look mucl
like dead general, does it y and hi
face was broad with glee.

DIPLOMATIC EVASION.
The premier's reply concerning the
Bosphore Egyptian and Afghan ques.
tons to-day were very guarded and
he also answered u number of ques-
iions about the Anglo-Russia dis
putc with studied evasion. Indeed,
all he said In the house of commons
to-day added little or nothing to what
is already known.
GLADSTONE CHEERED.
In evidence of the present bclli-
cosc feeling among members of par
Lament, II may be noticed that when
Mr.. Gladstone unequiyocally stated
that Sir Peters LuInsden's telegram
of Friday confirmed his previous ac-
count of the fight at Penjcdeh
and conilictcd with those made fbout
the same battle by General komarof,
the declaration was received with u
low ripple of satisfaction, which soon
developed intoa cheer.
THAT NEWSPAPER SCARE.
Fears are entertained that the Dos
phore Egyptian affair is likely to lead
to difference with France. The situa-
ton at the close of the session in par
Lament this evening was one of
general feeling of uneasincss border
