TOLEDO o., May 30.-The temperance letter of
Miss Cleveland, recently sent broadcast over the
country as fresh document, is learned to night,
from members of the Presidents family in this
rity, to be four years old. Miss Cleveland has al
ways been active in the temperance cause and has
written great deal. While at her home, in Hol
land Patent, ~ Y, about four years ago. DR..
Howard Crosby's remarks were answered by her
in the document just printed. 1t was published
as a temperance tract, and was circulated by
temperance and tract societies. 1t was but a
scholarly effort of an able young woman, and its
resurrection now, and the significance given to it,
is amusing to her and her family. 1t is also
known that Miss Cleveland's recent visit to New
York was solely for recreation, that she did not
leave the manuscript of any book with pub

Good Effect of the Reported Settlement of
the Difficulty.
LONDON, May 30-To-day is the dullest news
day London has had for months There seems
to be nothing going on worth writing about. All
the statesmen whose actions generally furnish
the staple political news, except Mr.. Gladstone,
are away enjoying the holidays, and the Premier
is resting even from talking The Liberals seem
to be satisfied with the Anglo Russian situation.
The Conservatives, however. appear to DO crow
ing over it. 1t is generally believed among the
politicians that Russia has agreed to allow AT
ghanistan's claims to both Zulfcar and Maruchak.
1t does not appear, however, that the Gar has
agreed. even Professionally, to any treaty binding
him to refrain from further advances. Many
efforts have been made to secure from him such
agreement, and their failure tends to
strengthen the conviction that Russia has
simply "dickered," in order to gain time, and
that she is determined to continue her progress
southwark. The Conservatives find in this state
of affairs a subject for denunciation of Mr..
Gladstone's management OF the dispute The
Tory papers believe that unless Russia gives
England a guarantee against further advance
southwark, coupled with pledge to re-
spect the independence of Afghanistan, there
can be no probability of any durable peace.
The general public, on the o. ther hand, seem to
place the most implicit confidence in Mr.. Glad
stones statements that peace is assured. Under
the prospect held out by this assurance, gen.
eral and manifest improvement is going on in
the industries of the country. All the building
and transportation trades are busy, and farm
iaborers are in demand, both at home and in
the colonies. The immigration returns even
show decline.
1t is asserted in some quarters at St Peters
burg that Russia's acceptance Of the English
proposals was due to the Cars friendship for
the British Cabinet and his desire to do nothing
which would hazard the return of the Tory
party in England to power The concession of
Maruchak and Zulfkar to Afghanistan, it was
represented, would strengthen the Liberals,
who are regarded as more friendly to Russia.

suli Of scandal about the Blaine family is true
It is admitted that the Age contains copy Of a
bad piece of poetry entitled Baby blaine but
Morton's friends have impressed the
President that before the Age published it
the piece appeared in the Kennebec journal,
which is Mr.. Blaines home organ. The
file of the Journal containing it will also be sent
to the executive mansion. This poetry was taken
by Senator Frye and Hale to the President two
months ago. and showed to him as reason why
Mr. Morton, as the man who published it, should
not be made postmaster as it would be direct
insult TO Dir. Blaine. Mr. Cleveland has all the
time considered it as the great objection to
Mr. Morton, but now that the poetry is shown
TO have first found circulation in a Republican
paper in Augusta, be is great deal better dis
posed toward Mr. Morton. who has always been
sure of the postoice save for this Blaine scandal
business The charge against Morton in con-
neetion with tho Madiean circular is no longer
considered at the White House Of any account
and though the appointment may be delayed
some days. Mr.. Morton stands better chance
for the place than at any time since the two
named senators made their famous call on the
President, to protest against him.
