No Fear of a Strike in the
Railway Postal Service.
An Indian Scare in Southwest
ern Colorado.
Indictment Of Ward and Fish
For Grand Larceny.
No Fears of a Strike.

WAspINsroN. June s.-Postmaster
General Villas to-day denied that he had
sent a dispatch 70 Chicago touching the
threatened strike among the railway postal
clerks, as stated in Chicago. He says
there need be no apprehension of strike
among the railway mail employees. 1t was
possible that a few clerks, who felt that
from their ineficiency they had no chance
OF remaining in the service, had endeavor-
ed to effect a combination among older
aad more efficient men, but they had fail
ed in their attempt The official Postal
Guide for Nay contains j notice, over the
signature of the postmaster general, that
efficient and honest railway clerks who
have not turned their attention toward
political service during their labors, need
have no fear of being distui bed in Office,
That declaration in regard to postal
clerks and their retention, y said the posi-
master general. has never been departed
from in a single instance. | believe one
mistake was made. hut when / discovered
it | restored the man to the service. There
have been a very considerable number of
removals made. but | think that not less
than three-quarters or nine-tenths OF
them were made because of ineficiency-
because they were not good clerks-be-
cause they were what is known in the ser
vice as 'deadwood A very limited
percentage have been removed because
they we're partisans. 1t is not unlikely
that many clerks who were removed for
ineficiency have reported at their locali-
ties that they were removed for partisan
reasons, but the truth is as | have stated.
The examinations just completed show
that during the months of April and
March the service has greatly improved
and better results have never been OBJ
tanned in an examination.

A Bursted Sewer.

LONDON, June s.-Great DAMAGE was
caused this evening in the most artistic
cratic portion of London, by the bursting
of a sewer which had been overstrained
by recent storms. Scores oil houses in the
West End have their easements flooded,
and there is three feet of water in ur,i.y
fashionable stores and the barracks OF the
guards are seriously damaged. The new
residence of United States Minister
Phelps, at 81 Lowndes square, is flooded,
as is the residence Of the earl of KIM
berry and the secretary Of state for India,
at IS Lowndes square. The house of
lords was startled by the arrival of a
courier sent to inform Lord Kimberly that
it was impossible to prepare dinner, as
the basement was flooded. Many of the
peers hurried to their homes and a score
of them found their residences in a SINH
lar plight.

NEW YORK, June s.-Walter c.,
Whipple, a son OF Adiutant General
Whipple, committed suicide at the lodg-
ing house this evening by shooting him
self through the heart. Young Whipple
has been a student of the New York
Medical college, and has been studying
very lard. To over taxation Of the brain
is attributed the act. His final examlna
ton would have occurred this month.
Whipple has also been a close student Of
the bible and general religious subjects.
Assistance from the medical college near
by was called. When the doctor arrived
Whipple was still alive. DR.. Keller
asked him why he had shot himself.
"Ask Christ, " replied Whipple Rev. DIR.
Tompkins, of Calvary Chapel was sum
moned. When he arrived, Whipple
grasped his hand and said feebly, ITS all
right Christ loves me Said DR.. Tomp-
kins, Why have you done this?" ASK
me not in mournful numbers, returned
the suicide. Then he expired.

OVER THE OCEAN.
Gladstone Meets a Defeat in
the Commons,
And it is Thought That He
Will Resign
The Dispute With Russia Still
Unsettled.


LONDON. June Sin the house Of
commons, after Childers' statement touch
ing the spirits tax, Mr.. Childers had no
sooner done explaining the governments
reason for not at present rcfunding the
tax, than the Hon. Michael Edwards
Hicks Beach, Conservative, rose quickly
and asked why it was that a Liberal gov
eminent which ought to be economical,
had to resort to extreme forms of taxa
ton in order to meet an extraordinary ex-
penditure of sl0O, 900, 600.
This question was greeted with cheers
from the Tory benches Sir Michael
went on and denounced the increased
duty on spirits. He said the receipts
from spirits were already decreasing. He
thought a small increase in the duty on
tea would have been wiser and much more
profitable. The government, he con-
tinued, should have raised the duty on
wine, because wine was no more i neces-
sity of life than beer or spirits. Sir
Michael concluded by moving that the
proposed increase in the duty on beer and
spirits was inequitable in the absence of
a corresponding addition to the duties on
wine.
John X Cross. Under secretary for
India, spoke for the government in ans
wer to a number Of questions concerning
attacks reported to have been made on
the government.
Sir Stafford Northcote and others hay-
ing spoken, Mr.. Gladstone arose to re-
ply. He thought that the opposition
were creating a precedent which they
would regret when they came into power
again. The present wine duty had a ben
eicial effect in preventing adulteration
and increasing the trade many millions
p%nrually. 1t would be most impolitic to
increase the duty on wine unless on the
most extreme pressure. The government
was compelled TO raise money in view of
the impending dangers to the empire-a
danger which, even now, he was unable
to say had passed away. The opposition
cavilled at the mode of raising money
without suggesting an alternative. Tea
would require an additional tax Of 3 per
cent. per pound to produce the same
amount, thus raising the duty IS per cent.
on an innocent beverage The govern
ment had to choose between alcoholic
liquors and tea and sugar. They would
accept the issue Of the vote as one of life
or death, and did not envy those who, if
they gained a victory, would have to bear
the consequences. Mr.. Gladstone's re-
marks were received with prolonged
cheers.
The government was defeated on the
second reading of the budget, it being re-
jected by 264 to 252. When the result
was announced, Lord Randolph Churchill
and Mr.. Parnell jumped up on their seats
and enthusiastically waved their hats.
Tremendous excitement was caused by
the announcement of the result of the di-
vision, and Gladstone Immediately adj
iourned the house, 1t is confidently ru
mored that Gladstone will visit the queen
tomorrow and tender his resignation.

a small band of Indians raided Scott
Whites ranch in Wood canyon, Chirica-

San Simon station. They killed some
beef cattleiand drove off all his horses.
The hostiles ascend the high peaks in the
day time to get an accurate idea of the
position and movement of the troops. At
night they make a march of forty or fifty
miles, taking what horses and stock they
require from the ranches en- route. 1t is
thought nearly the whole band, a hun

MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, june S.-Therc
is much excitement. in the city this morn
ing over a discovery made this afternoon
that i volume of 5000 gallons of water
per minute has been escaping from the
water power at St. Anthony falls, from
an unknown source. The aldermen,
government engineer and city engineer
have various theories regarding it. The
opinion is expressed by the authorities
that the new sewer, being constructed
above the falls. is responsible for the
water waste and the probability is that
work will be stopped thereon Some
theorists hold that Yennepin county lakes
are being drained through a subterrsnean
channel. Minnetonka is one of the lakes
in the chain. The government engineer,
however, expresses no apprehension of
danger to the falls by the escapage.
Water power owners, mill owners and
citizens generally, are greatly agitated.

The PrIyate secrctar,.

The rain last evening did not affect
visibly the size of the audience at the
opera house Every seal, cx ebt very
few on the last row, in the lower nart of
the house, was filled, though the gallery
was rather light The audience was a
very brilliant one. speaking from a so
ciety standpoint, and it was a wonderfully
delighted one. There cal be little doubt
but that there are many sore sides in this
city this morning considering the bois-
trous laughter which was provoked.
The Pirate Secretary is a farce, in
three acts, Astounding in complications
which arise from the desire Of Mr.. Cnt-
termole' to have his nephew, Douglas
SOW his wild oats. This he at onee pre-
tends to do. He is inspired with the
happy thought of entering the house of
"Mr. Marsland, where he impersonates
the private secretary already engaged. He
makes it his business to fall in love with
the first pretty girl he finds in the estab-
lishment. In sowing his wild oats be
comes in contact with various female
members Of the family, one of whom is a
s%pinster, whose sensitive soul yearns for
spiritual manifestations. When REV.
Robert Sparkling CIV. II. Gillette, the
private secretary, arrives, he is forced to
perform the part offs medium. nos how
ever, with any c~learness as to his func-
ton. The excitement and absurdities of
this particular scene set the house in
great turmoil. The private secretary
doubts his own sanity. Everything is at
cross purposes; all are drawn into the
whirlpool of contradictions and misunder-
standing.
With this sort oil a mixed plot the piece
was from beginning to end a continual
roar of farcial fun Ina highly respecta-
Bile way the people in the cast pitched
each other about in a manner which in
another class of broad comedies would
have been disgusting. but in this, while
continually on the side Of the ridiculous

hearty laughter, Mr.. Gillette made OF
the unfortunate S%paulding, the reverend
private secretary, a character so stolidly
ludicrous that. even an actor would won.

rious points in Wisconsin, within the
path of the storm, come reports of build
ings being unroofed, trees uprooted by
the wind and much damsge done by hail.
In many places the hail stones were Of
remarkable large size, and fell to a depth
Of from six to ten inches. Cattle and
horses were badly bruised and many shccp
and hogs were killed by the hail Con-
siderable stock was also killed during the
terrific thunder storm following the fall
of hail. 1t is impossible to get satisfac-
tory information regarding the loss hut it
is known to have been great.
