SUSTAINED 81 1rR. VOORHEES,.
The Administration Undeserving of
Acrimonious Criticism.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-"The distribu-
ton of patronage is not a'proper subject
upon which to break with an administra-
ton" Senator voorhees, is represented as
having said. "Dishonesty in office or the
administration of the government upon
false principles of legislation can alone
justify leader of party in rushing into
opposition. 1t is, in my opinion, highly
impolitic for any one who waits to get an
office to cry out that the party is lost and
then fall to railing against the admins
tration. Mr.. Cleveland has not given me
all / asked for by any means. For in
stance: ! was very anxious that Mr..
Mcdonald should be appointed to the
Cabinet, and / worked hard to
secure that result; but l told Mr..
Cleveland that if after maturely
considering all l had said upon the sub
ject, he did not see his way to act in har-
mOny with our Indiana views and desires
it would not be fatal to us. 1t is Mr..
CleVeland's administration, not mine. 1t
is for him to look on every side, and per-
haps his appointments are wiser than
those l might suggest to him. To the
men who are before the country accusing
the administration of moving slowly it
ought to be sufficient answer that the
Democratic party takes possession of a
government which has been for twenty
five years in the hands Of the Republi-
cans and that the Senate is still Republi-
can. If the administration went to work
with reckless rapidity in making changes
the members of it would prove thereby
their untitness for their places.
81 refuse to discuss any such PROPOSE
ton as that Mr.. Cleveland may prove
disloyal to his party or the principles
upon which they elected him. My conf
dence in his integrity is absolute. A
more conscientious President in his sense
of duty never crossed the threshold of the
White House. The personnel oil the Cab
met he has chosen is also remarkably
high. 1t is not well selected, in my judg-
ment, from geographical point of view,
perhaps. l do not think the Northwest
was sufficiently recognized. and there was
no apparent necessity for taking two
members from New Y DIRK, but better men
than Secretaries Manning and Whitney in
dividually could not be found. The Cabinet
stands In marked contrast to some we have
recently had. 1t is not conceivable that
these men will fail to discharge their obli-
cations to the Democratic party. l be-
lieve very firmly that the President and
his advisers should administer the gov
eminent through the hands of their politi-
cal friends, and believe further that they
are going to do so. If | read Alright the
signs Of the times this will be Demo-
cratic administration, but las stickler
for this result-say that the administra-
ton is proceeding to that end with proper
circumspection and does not deserve that
any adherent should be turned into an
acrimonious critic. In what l have said
I'have intended no reference to or criti-
cism of Senator Eustis. Personally we
are very friendly, and he is a man Of high
character and decided ability"

IN THE CAMP OF THE NIAHDI.
A Letter From Sister ofmercy Taken
at KhaPtouHa.

PARIS, May 3.-Mgr. Sogaro, vicar
apostolic of Central Africa, residing in
Cairo, has received a letter from one of
the Sisters of Charity held in captivity by
Ell Madhi in Khartoum. The letter is
dated from Undurman, where Ell Madhi
has his headquarters. 1t is written in
pencil on a hair handkerchief, and is
illegible in many places. 1t narrates
briefly the unspeakable sutferings to
which the prisoners have been subjected.
1t suggests a plan for their relief, and
recommends that thalers be sent instead
of gold as gold loses tWo-thirds of its
value in the Soudan. 1t warns against
writing to Ell Madhi in their favor, as
such Intervention would in all likelihood
result in their death. 1t states that the
inhabitants of Khartoum were ruthlessly
massacred, and that the number of
victims slain with Gordon and the Aus
trian Consul, Hansal, numbered over
1000.
This letter was brought by NJ. Santoni,
who had been dispatched to Khartoum in
the hope of rescueing the prisoners. He
arrived at Undurman in the guise of a
trader. He entered the four wretched
huts occupied by the captiYes. Two of
these are occupied by the missionaries
and two by the Sisters. He was arrested
and imprisoned as an English spy, but
released at the end of three weeks. The
Sisters letter was sewed beneath the
fold of the sleeve of his shirt. Means are
being taken to effect the release of the
prisoners.

Osman Digna, it is believed, has sue
ceeded in again collecting about him an
army, but it is thought that the present
scarcity of food IN the desert prevents this
army from concentrating or becoming
formidable enough to make it necessary
to send out British expedition against
FL MahdPs chieftain. The friendly Arabs
at Tokar ask English protection against
Osman Digna. The other tribes are willing
to submit to the British if they remain in
the country.
The Mediterranean sea has encrOacbed
upon the land in the Nile delta to a point
at present beyond Rosetta. Cattle are
perishing from the effects of salt water
drunk by them in desperate thirst, and
the human inhabitants Of the invaded re-
gion are suffering terribly from want of
fresh water, which has to be sent to them
from long distances by railway.
A large force of British and Indian
troops and friendly natives, under Gen.
Graham, marched out at midnight at
Tackhal where they surprised and de-
feated AGO rebels, killing 60 of them and
capturing $50 head of cattle. After burn
ing the village they retired to Suakin.

Close shave.


MOBILE. ALA, May 6.-The weather
was line. and the attendance at the drill
was about s, 600 to-day. The Louisville
Legion entered fir this morning TO finish
the drill commenced yesterday, the Rich
ardson Zouaves having withdrawn. The
Legion passed a neat inspection. Their
manual with and without the numbers
was almost perfect. The marching was
good as was also the Wbeehngs. 1t is
feared. however, that the Captain
overlooked one or two movements
ON the programme. 1t is generally
Thought that their drill challenges the
dri1 Of the Savannah Cadets and LOmaX
Rides for the choice of positions. The
artillery drin followed with four COM
1,etifors. which drilled in the following
order. Alabama State Artillery, Indianap-
oils Artillery. battery b Louisiana field
artillery. and battery b Washington Ar
tillerv, of New Orleans. The two first
mentioned companies made several bad
breaks. 1t is thought that the two Loui-
eiana batteries viii carry off first and
second money. The Chicago Louaves
drilled to-day. and executed the manual,
marching and fancy movements in fine
style. The other two ZouaVe companies
will follow tomorrow. Gov. ONeal and
staff, of Alabama, reviewed the troops to-
dav. The free-for-au contest begins to-
morrow, and will extend through the day
following. The Chickasaw Guards and
Mobile Rifles have been snapped several
times in the pool box for first choice.

A CHuD'S IDENTITY,
The Court Called Upon to Settle An I'M
pOrtant Matter.


CHICAGO, May Ga peculiar case in
which the babies have been 50 badly
mixed up that a court has been called
upon to decide the matter came to light
to-day, when very small child, with a
very long name, Gertrude Frances Will
helmina Rollar, applied through her
friends, for the girl IS but 2 years old, to
be recognized as the heir of one GOttlieb
Friedrich ROllar, whose daughter she is
said to be. His will has already been
prObated, and he was found to have died
childless. The child's friends allege
that she was born four months
after Rollers death, her mother being
one Ida King, who was Rollar's wife by
common law if not by the church. Roll
lars family claim that Gertrude is a
supposititiOus child, and that Ida ROllar
went to the house of Mrs. Stark June "a,
1883, and said she wanted baby to adopt.
Mrs. Stark kept a sO-called "lying-in
hospital" and said she would procure an
infant for Mrs. Rollar. Having no eligi-
bic child in the house, she resorted to the
abode of Mrs. Ida Mueller, who pursued
a similar vocation, and found that a new
arrival was expected in day or two. The
child came to light two days later, June rs.
Ii Is described as diminutiVe blonde, with
blue eyes and a little wart on one ear.
When the infant was born Mrs. Stark
came with her young granddaughter and
conveyed it to the room of Mrs. Rollar,
who had just had a still-born child. Mrs.
ROllar appears to have known that in or
der to get the benefit of her husbands
property she must have a living child.
Three witnesses, hOweyer-Mrs. Stark
and her daughter and Mrs. Mueller
identified the supposititiOus child by the
unfortunate ear mark. So strong did this
evidence appear to be that the defendants
counsel requested Judge Tuley to sign a
decree finding that the compliments
claim was grOundless. He refused, how
ever, to fOrestall the usual course of liti-
cation, and the matter will come up at a
future day.

STAFFORD, May 6.-The cause Of the
unearthly sounds reported 10 have been
heard in the jonathan Riggs house ON
Clapboard Hillwas made pretty clear TO
the mind Of MIR. George Ryder on Monday.
He was making short cut, he saws,
through a lane leading past the Riggs
place. In an open field north OF the
house he saw n white cloud of peculiar
appearance, moving over the ground.
Il was midday. The cloud came
nearer 20 him, and, as 10 dad SO.
1t assumed fantastic shapes. lie did not
feel skitush, however, until he saw the
cloud take the form Of the
upper halt Of human hodv.
IL came within few feet Of where
Ryder stood and the features Of an Indian
were then clearly outlined. There was
paint on the face Of the red man, and he
had every indication OF being a giant
chiet. The shoulders and arms were visi-
bic. Raising one hand, the apparition
pointed TO the Riggs house. not 100 rods
away. This pointing was repeated twice.
and then the cloud moved away ana van

PoUNDMAKERs POUNDING.

OTTAWA, ONT, May G.--In the House
of Commons this evening. Sir John Mac
Dorald said: 81 have Just received a
telegram from Col. Herchmer, of the
mounted police, which deals more par
ticularly with his own corps. The tele-
gram is dated May 3, and comes from
Battleford. The column fought Pound
maker for seven hours and demolished his
camp. The police behaved beyond praise,
receiving the first fire'and holding an adj
vanced position while the column formed
for the attack, and remaining throughout
the engagement. The total brigade loss
is killed and - wounded. We moved
so miles i'm 80 hours. hours Of which we
were fighting. The Jys loss is fully
1902"
Offers GREAT VICTORY.
BATTLEFoRD, n. w. T., May Cur
Their details OF the battle between Col.
show favorably for Col. Otter. After a
forced march of thirty miles his force
reached the reserve, and offered battle to
the Indians, who readily responded. The
fight lasted seven hours. The indians
used muskets, war clubs, spears, bows
and arrows, and weapons Of every con-
ceivable kind. Col. Otter's force kept
well under cover of the bush, and from an
entrenched position poured deadly volleys
of bullets into the REDSKINS, who fell in
scores all around. Fully 100 are known
to have been killed, and it is thought that
twice as many are wounded. Col. Otter's
loss is Z killed and Is wounded.
THE KILLED AND WOUNDED DESERTED.
No mention is made in the dispatches Of
the killed and wounded being brought
back, and it is judged from the hasty
march back that they were left behind.
Nothing but the last extremity could in
duce Col. Otter to leave them there. The
troops burned the buildings on the reserve
before leaving. No one has any doubt
that a bloody Indian war will follow.
The Qu'Appelle Indians, who yesterday
raided and sacked a number of settlers
houses, are to-day reported to have risen
and left the reserve.
CRoWFOOT TO AID POUNDMAKER.
Crowfoot, Chief of the Blackfeet. is re-
lated to Poundmaker, and will, it is said,
join him in battle against the whites. The
Dominion government and Col. Otter are
blamed for not securing the ransom of
Factor Mclean and other white captives
of the Indians before precipitating mat
ters. They will probably all be murdered,
if they have not already been. Great
alarm is felt here in consequence. Posi-
tive advices from Clarke's crossing to-day
says that Gen. Middleton began his adj
vance this morning. A battle is ex-
peeted at BattOuche tomorrow.

Sharp Correspondence About the Dol
phin's Acceptance.
WASHINGTON, May 6.-Secretary Whit
ney's resolve to satisfy himself of the true
condition of the Dolphin, before formally
accepting her for the government, has as
yet resulted in but a little more than cor
respondence. The board specially APP
pointed to report as to her fitness care
FULLY examined all the papers relating TO
her construction, and Capt. Belknap, the
President of the board, then requested
Mr.. John Roach to prepare her for another
trial trip to settle the question of her horse
power and speed. Mr.. Roach paid no more
attention to the request than if it had
come from private individual desiring
to take pleasure trip on the sound. He
did not even deign a reply. His reasons
were those already expressed that he had
complied with the law and the terms of
the contract, and his duty was completed.
The labOrs of the board are therefore
suspended until some action is taken to
enable them to continue and the members
have scattered in different directions. In
the meantime a brisk correspondence has
been going on between Secretary Whit
ney and Mr.. Roach. Without making
any allusion to the proposed new trial,
Mr.. Roach, a few days ago, wrote to
the Secretary asking in effect what he
proposed doing, as the vessel was COM
pleted and should no longer remain in his
possession. Because of the Secretary's
absence the exact nature OF his reply can
not be ascertained, but it is understood
to be quite pithy, stating in unequivocal
terms the necessity for another trial of
the vessel before it can be accepted, and
calling attention TO Mr.. Roach's neglect
ing to take cognizance of the request to
prepare the vessel for that trial.
