The Presiden, Falls Out with His Sister.

The president Fails Out with His Sister.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-Some time ago
Miss Cleveland left the White House for
New York, intending, as was announced at
the time, to make certain purchases In the
city. Since her departure story was started
to the effect that Miss Cleveland had left be-
cause of some difference of opinion with the
President In regard to household affairs.
This was given denial, coupled with the
statement that Miss Cleveland would return
in the course of few days. The CORES
pondent Of the New York Sun is known to
have special advantages in obtaining infor-
nation about matters at the White House,
aud has telegrsphed the following to his
paper: Miss Cleveland's return to resume
her place as mistress of the White House is
not likely for some time, even If she returns
at all. Her views regarding the use of wine
and liquors are said not to be the Presidents
views. While she did not seriously object
to wines at official dinners, she stood for
strict temperance on all other occasions.
That, 1t is understood, was the understand
ing between Miss Cleveland and her brother
on her coming into the White House. To
1t she infexIbly adheres, and departures
from IL are said to be the reason for her tax
ing long furlough, which may become per-
manent. Miss Cleveland has gone to her
former residence at Holland Patent, Oneida
county. At the White House Mrs. Lamont
10 recognized and spoken of .as the mistress
Of the establishment. Although the public
have been informed from the White House
that when Miss Cleveland returns the La.
monts will resume their hotel lodgings, the
time of their G ,ing is altogether indefinite
for the reasons already given.

RIEL's REBELLION CRUSHED.

II looks very much IS though the Riel Re-
bellion, at least SO far as Riel and the half
breeds are concerned, has endej-and ended
disastrously for them. It did not end in
gloriously for the 400 or 500 half. breeds, very
poorly armed and munitioned, who kept

troops, with battery or two and Calling,

battered and hailed out Of their intrench.
ments at long range with artillery assisted,
II not led, by an American citizen named
Captain Howard who was showing the prac.
tical working Of Calling gun in the inter-
est of some Connecticut manufacturers who
were experimenting to find British market
for their machines. From all accounts the
half breeds fought splendidly aud stood their
ground until one-third we're killed and woan-
ded. They were defeated and subdued, and
will probably never get the credit they deserve
for as determined q fight as has been made
for long time. Their gallantry appears
only equalled by the incompetency Of their
leader. Riel seems to have bsen luny, with
q crazy adjutant to assist him in maintaining
an insane asylum at headquarters, while
Dumont and the breeds were holding the
front line with skill, courage and discretion.
If Riel should be tried and hung by anybody
It should not be by the British but the breeds
whose cause he has apparently sacrificed by
imbec!lity. The dispatches indicate that al
the time of the surrender Chief Pound maker
With his Crees and Big Bear with his band,
numbering IN all some 1900 Indians, who
had just captured . 34-wsgon supply train
with supplies and ammunition, were making
forced marches TO reinforce Risl at Batoche.
This be should have known, aud II not en-
tirely avoiding conflict until the Crees ar
rived, he might have retreated without
decisive one until with bis Indian allies be
could turn upoR Middleton and have at least
= fair show for victory. Il looks very much
that with the best OF the situation, with .
fair chance to have driven the enemy cut OF
the country or At least to have prolonged the
conflict until the government would have
been willing to negotiate on terms concedIng
ell the breeds could properly claim, Riel has
"thrown of" the war, or is incapable or
crazy. The circumstances scarcely indicate
mercenary collusion with English agents,
but II not the half breeds had certainly bet
ter entrusted their cause to Dumont, who 90
far has been the here Of the campaign.
II Is to be hoped the Indian rising will be
speedily suppressed Aside from the un.
provoked attack Of Otter on the Crees, they
thsve no cause Of war and It's continuance
can only result In evil.

u. s. Senator.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, May l9.-In JoinI sss-
sion there were 81 Senators present and 153
Representatives. When the vote was taken

prevailed. The Senators all voted for To.
gan, giving him 20 votes. Rugers' vote was

allow any other Republican but Logan to be
elected. The Democrats voted solidly for
Lambert Tree. After roll-call, Baker, Nc
Nary, McAlney, Caldwell, Quinn and Crofts
changed their votes to Farwell. Barry
(Dem.) changed his vote to John A. Logan,
and the wildesC confusion prevailed.
1:20 p. n.-The announcement of Logan's
election has not yet been made at this hour.
The Democrats are changing TO Farwell and
trying to drive all their men In, but all have
not presented themselves, and no Repusli-

leave Logan.

to Farwell, and Speaker Haines finally an
nounced the vote, declaring Logan elected.
Logan was brought into the Chamber and
make splendid speech, thanking his friends
for their ddelity and speaking kindly of bis

The Fight over Roseerans.

WARRINGTON, May 15.-Rosecrans has
not received the appointment as collector Of
the port of San Francisco, and strong efforts
are being made to prevent bis getting that
Office. The only reason why the commits

that the field faction Of the party will not
agree TO let Rosecrans have the Office. The
President has intimated that neither Carr
nor English will be given the Office, and has
expressed bis willingness to appoint Rose

has at the same time notified them that II

Field faction will say that they do not OBJ.

CONVICT LABOR.
A Characteristic Protest Against it.

ST. LOUIS, May 15.-An Austin, Texas,
special to the Post Dispatch says: This fore.
noon Governor Ireland received q telegram
from Major Godee, Superintendent Of the
Texas penitsntiary, giving information Of
the most daring and successful outrage ever
committed In Texas. Forty State convicts
were employed on Clay's farm, in Brazos
county. Last evening, when work was
stopped, a great mob of armed men surroun-
ded the guards and prisoners and demanded
the release of the latter. The guards re-
fused, whereupon q fight ensued, In which
the convicts joined forces with the mob.
The conflict was terrible one, and resulted
in victory for the attacking party, who dis
appeared with the c0hvicts. There is no
definite information as to whether there
we're any killed and wounded, but 1t Is re-
ported that several men were fatally woun-
ded. The outrage Is due to the hue and cry
against the employmentof convic. labor in
the penitentiary. The Governor has offered
reward of 5000 for the conviction of any
of the leaders IN the out rage.
