NO DICTATION.


How the First Assistant Postmaster Gen
ernl Proposes 10 select P0stmasters.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-In a case which re-
Gently came before him where a Senator COM
planned of not having sufficient dictation in
the matter of the appointment of q postmaster
in his district, First Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral Hay expressed himself as opposed to the
custom of the Post Office Department under
past administrations of appointing postmas-
ters solely upon request of the congressman in
whose districts the appointments might be
made He stated he was unaware of any
Congressional "prerogative" which the depart
ment was bound to respect.
Correct Information, he added, was always
sought, and the views of Senator or Repre-
sentative would of course receive great weight
and consideration, but he did not know that
they had any "prerogstive" whatever in the
matter. MIR. Hay added: II the facts should
come to my knowledge that a majority of the
patrons of a post office should unequivocally
express their desires for the appointment of a
postmaster who was by political faith opposed
to the administration. and was thoroughly fit
ted for the place, I would appoint him not
withstanding the recommendations of the
State Legislature or of any possible number OF
congressmen for the selection of man not
thus locally acceptable and supported.

THE OLD WORLD.
No Change of Affairs in the Eng
glish Ministerial Crisis.
Gladstone Still in London and Earl
Spencer Still in Dublin.
Evacuation of the Soudan De
nounced by Lord Wolseley.

LONDON June 20.-The position of affairs in the
ministerial crisis shows little change to-day. The
fact that the Queen has not yet reached decision
is indicated by Gladstones presence in London. He
did go to Balmoral and present his resignation In
person, as was stated by this mornings Standard.
Earl Spencer also continues at his post in Dublin.
The whole European press express the greatest
surprise at the defeat of the English Cabinet. The
comments are various but the majority dwell on
the enormous difficulty of assuming the manage
ment at this time which they believe will prevent
the Conservative party from taking Office. They
consider that Mr.. Gladstone will be compelled to
contieue in Office until the election.
LONDON, June 10.-A private deputation of Con-
seryative members of Parliament waited upon Sir
Stafford Northcote and Marquis Salisbury today
and urged them to refuse Office The Marquis stat
ed that If the Queen called them they must form
Northcote as premier and he expected the Queens
command would place him in that position. The
quietness that has prevailed in the stock exchange
throughout the present crisis traceable to public
belief that the Conservatives must maintain fer
length of time continuity OF the foreign policy and
bourses.
a sensation has been caused by publication of
Lord Woseey's dispatches denouncing the acu-
tion OF the Soudan. He warns the government that
on the withdrawal from Dongola the whole province
will be given up to anarchy and will revert fl ON
civilization to barDarism. Withdrawal he says will
not avert struggle and tbe best policy would be
attack the Mahdi at Khartoum.
An ofhcial order was issued tonight closing Wind
sor Castle to the public after tomorrow. This is
significant to the advent of the Queen, as Windsor
Is only thirty minutes by rail from London. The
return OF Her Majesty viii greatly expedite public
business at the present crisis.
The Queen has summoned the Marquis Harting-
ton TO the Bamoral cortes. 1t is not known
whether he Id summoned a representative of
Gladstone or has been invited for new cabinet.
1t is rumored the Queen has sent a telegram to
Gladstone, requesting him to reconsider his decis
ion to resign. There is no reason, however to be-
ieve that Gladstone wil under the existing condi-
tions consent to resume the office,

MINNEAPOLIS, June 10.-It was discovered yes

magnificent water power. Several years ago wood

stone ledge over which they flow and through which
the water was eating. Water was got under the
wooden protection and it seems certain that the
whole thing must go. If this happens the damage
