General Grief.

LONDON, Nov. 26.-The death of King
Alfonso has made profound impression
in all the European capitals. The emperor
of Austria Hungary, the emperor of Ger
many and the king of Italy will send repre-
sentatives to attend the funeral. A dispatch
from Madrid says Senior Sagasta, the new
prime minister, is confident of the support Of
left, and that Dominquez, with the assur-
ance of the Royalists, will defend the mon
archy and regency of Queen Christina, al
though ex-Queen Isabella is more popular
than Christina. King Alfonso's death has
made sensation here in the political clubs
and among Spanish residents. Duis
Gorilla was seen last night with
reference to the event at, his house
in London. He said he felt
a deep compassion for the young man
whom the strain of his griefs and of dy-
nasty and domestic cares had overwhelmed.
He added that at last a probability had
come of Spanish revolution, such as could
effect the salvation of the country by pa
cific means, and breakwater against
anarchy. Senior Gorilla seemed to have
no faith whatever in the chances
of Don Carlos. He thought
that there would always be Carlists in
Spain, but that they would be henceforth
mere gypsies led by gypsy king. Senior
Rorilla processes to have no personal am
bition. He says that he would prefer to
retire from public life rather than by any
personality of his and to the embarrassments
of his country. He is not itching to become
president of Spain.

washington Letter TO boston traveller.
A naval officer, while speaking to the
Traveller correspondent, said: ''You have
no idea of the number of officers who have
recently been placed in coventry You
don't know what that means? Well, it is a
species of ostracism. The last officer ia
booed was young fellow who married his
mistress. All communication between him
and his brother officers was strictly official
They will not recognize him in any social
way, and to all intents and purposes he
and his wife have to live alone. Some
times an apparently trivial matter puts
man in coventry Not long ago the ex-
ecutive officer of one of the vessels of our
navy took away the smoking privilege
from the wardroom officers. He had the
power and he exercised it. If one OF his
subordinates wanted to smoke he had to go
on the forecastle, among the sailors. BY
virtue of his position he presided at the
table. The officers would sit and talk and
joke among themselves, but never word
would they say to him. He had absolutely
no companion on the entire ship, and that
means a great deal when man is at sea.
Well, this officer had great deal of grit,
and stood it for eight months. Then he
caved in and restored the smoking privilege
AS that was all the officers were contending
for they began to recognize him again in a
social way. He called them together and
gave one of the greatest Publications of
the season in honor of the event. know

to be in than to be sin coventry"

TheLafe Flood.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-From different
parts of the city and from the towns and
villages in the track Of the great storm of
Tuesday reports continue to come yesterday
of the devastation wrought. Although the
individual losses are large in only few in
stances, yet the injury done by the winds
and floods is so widespread that the aggre-
gate losses are very great indeed. The
damage at Long Branch and along the New
Jersey coast is greater than it was at first
reported to be. Several cottages suffered
more or less and the grounds of many 9th
ers were sadly torn up. Water in the eel
lars still bother people in the streets near
the river fronts, and trouble was expert
enced at many of the ferries owing to the
fact that the high tide raised the bridges far
out of level. In the low lands west of Jer-
sey City some of the railroads were still
further damaged by flood.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 26.-Asde from the
half-masted flags on the steamboats, at the
river front and at different points in the
city, there has been no public manifestation
here in connection with the death of Vice

general expression of sorrow, however, by
people of all classes, and Mayor Francis
will tomorrow call public meeting for
Saturday afternoon, for the purpose of ar
ranging some appropriate demonstration in
recognition of the sad event. The mayor
will also appoint a delegation of representa-
tive citizens to attend the funeral. Most of
the ministers in their Thanksgiving sermons
referred to the death and to the man in APP

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Dispatches from
the East and South are filled with express
sions Of regret at the sudden demise of Vice
President Hendricks. AS the fact was not
generally known until this morning and as
the day was legal holiday, no general ex-
preston in the way of meetings or eulogies
has taken place, but everywhere public sor-
row is evidenced in the half-masting of
flags. not only on public, but private build
ings and residences and the gathering Of
citizens in knots at street corners to discuss
political complications likely to arise from
this sudden taking off. Dispatches to this
effect came from Richmond, Savannah, At

Boston, Buffalo, Baltimore and other points.
At Toronto. Montreal, Quebec and other
places flags are half-masted and many Brit

ing sympathy with this nation. The Amer
lean residents in the City Of Mexico propose
to take suitable action.

AURORA, ILL.,, Nov. 26.-The news of
the sudden death of Vice President Hen
bricks was received in Aurora with much
mourning, he having many personal admir-
ers here. During the campaign last year, in
speech delivered at Lincoln park in this
city, Richard j. Oglesby publicly accused
Mr.. Hendricks with being leader in the
Democratic National convention at Chicago
in 1864, and that he implored that body to
pass resolution declaring the war fail
ure. A copy of the governors speech was
and in few days a letter was received
from Mr.. Hendricks, in which he said:
l am surprised that Gen. Oglesby should
have said that, as I was not member of that
convention had no connection with the max
ing of the platform, indeed, had no knowl-
edge of the contents of the platform until
published. inclose a card which l had oc-
casion to publish the first month of the war.
My conduct throughout the war was gov
erned by the sentiments in this card.
The card was as follows:
NY atten ion has been called to an editorial
in the Indianapolis Journal of to-day april
25, 1851 in which it is stated that at Union
meeting held at Shelbyville a few evenings
since, a committee was appointed to
wait upon me with the request that I should
speak, but being called upon by the commit
tee refused to speak, saying that II had no
hand in originating the difficulty and would
have nothing to do in extricating the country
from ITS periious condition" The writer has
been wholly misinformed. I never heard of
the appointment Of such a committee. and
suppose none was appointed No committee
waited on me with such a request. Had
been so honored certainly would have re-
sponded. l have never withheld my views
upon any question OF public interest from the
people of Shelbyville county. When it ap-
peared proper. have expressed my opinion
in relation to our present troubles. Since the
war commenced, 1 have uniformly said that
the authority of the government of the
United States is not questioned in Indiana,
and that l regarded it as the duty of the
citizens of Indiana to respect and maintain
that authority, and to give the government
an honest and earnest support in the prose-
cution of the war until, in the providence OF
God, it may be brought to an honorable con-
clusion and blessings Of peace restored to our
country. Postponing until that time all con-
troversy in relation to causes and RESPONSE
bilities of the war, no man will feel deeper
solicitude in the welfare and proud bearing
of Indiana's soldiery in the conflict of arms
to which they are called than myself. Allow
me to add that, in my judgment, citizen or
newspaper is not serving the country well in
the present crisis by attempting to give par
tisan aspect to the war, or by seeking to pre-
vent the cause of the country to party ends.

The English Elections.

LONDON, Nov. 26.-The Tory reaction is
still unchecked, and the enthusiasm of the
Conservatives is unbounded. Great crowds
gather in the neighborhood of the bulletin
boards and cheer the announcement Of
sweeping Tory successes. The Conserva-
tives have carried five of the six Manches-
ter divisions. The sugar operatives of
East St. Georges returned Mr.. Richie,
an advocate of the countervailing duties.

who received 2.7S5 votes. defeated the
Marquis of Lorne (Liberal), who received

Boston, Nov. 26.-Pastor Downs hip
podrome season has fairly begun, and it is
doubtful if such an enterprise was ever be-
fore known in Boston or anywhere else.
Some person or body of persons, which ad-
vertises in the newspapers as the commit
tee, had engaged the largest concert hall in
the city, that of the Mechanics building.
and announces three performances each
Sunday. Coupling with this announce
ment the further statement that the presi-
dent of one of the street railway companies
has 'kindly consented to run forty extra
cars to each service. Collections for the
benefit of the pastor are to be taken at each
performance. Tonight, pursuant to an
extra announcement, Downs preached
in the hall Thanksgiving sermon.
The hall will accommodate 5000 people,
and when the scandalized clergyman
mounted the platform at 7:3O o'clock it was
quarter filled. The Bowdoin choir and
organist presided at the instrument and
Downs spoke on Peters deliverence from
prison. Mrs. Taber occupied conspicu-
GUS seat on the platform. The only sensa-
tional feature of the entertainment was
Downs announcement that baptistry had
been procured, and that ON Sunday evening
he would immerse the five persons whom
the church last week decided to admit. The
audience behaved very well.

Man for Master.

A good story is told about town at this
moment. says Pittsburg Dispatch CORE
SpOndent. There is a great demand for
persons connected with the foreign le-
cations. They are invited everywhere.
Young attaches who could not get inside Of
fashionable door in London, Paris. Ber-
lin or the city from whence they came. are
here lionized to degree that makes their
heads swim. They are naturally delighted
with America, and float along on the sur
face of the fashionable current of Washing
ton as big as Newtown pippins. Some Of
these fellows actually live ON their invita-
lions to dinner, only paying for the break
fast at some cafe. Well. the story goes
that one of them was asked to dinner by
family, the heads of which were total
strangers to him. He knew that invita-
lions had been extended to others of his
set, who had declined, SO he was quite GER
tain it was not his person that was wanted.
Meeting another young fellow, the latter
suggested that an experiment be tried.
''Give it to your valet" said the merry
friend. ''I'll wager they will never dis
cover the difference; he's such bloody
Englishman. They don't know you. All
they want is somebody there you know.
By Jove! what lark!'
''I'll do it," said the other. And he did.
Instructing his valet, who is fully as polite
and genteel looking as his master, the
latter posted him off to the residence at the
proper hour in the legation carriage.
What TRANSFERRED there may be imagined
from the fact that among the dinner guests
given in the society papers was the name
of the young secretary, and from the ac-
count of the affair which has leaked out
through other servants to whom the valet
confded the story. 1t would seem from the
latter that the valet got along very well I'M
til the wine began coming around to him
too frequently, He knew all about his
masters affairs, and discoursed on diplo-
matte matters with exceeding volubility.
AS he got mellow, however, his dignity
gave way, and his gossip became that inter-
esting stuff retailed by servants below
stairs. To anybody who had been accus-
toned to move in diplomatic society, his
talk would have betrayed the real state of
the case, but-the parvenues who were en-
tertaining him were ignorant, and accepted
his vulgarity as the eccentricity Of foreign
ers. They piled every courtesy upon the
valet until he could no longer bear them,
but was finally interrupted in the act of
making love to one of the ladies Of the
house, put into his carriage quietly and
sent home To the credit of the family, it
may be added that the young secretary
never got another invitation.

Judge Thurman Interviewed.

Special to the Globe.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 26.-Judge A. G.
Thurman, in an interview to-day, was
asked concerning succession to the presi-
dency in case of the death of Cleveland.
The Judge, out of respect to the memory of
the deceased vice president, was averse to
entering into discussion of the matter.
He had long been personally intimate with
Mr.. Hendricks, who was, he said, one OF
the most agreeable and amiable men in the
world, and also one of the most pleasing
and effective of the public speakers. His
death is regarded as great misfortune by
Judge Thurman.
1.-The theory of the senate" said he, sis
that it is perpetual body. Neither is there
time when there is not house of represen-
ment of the present vacation, failed to elect
president pro tempore, as is usually the case
a few days before the adjournment, and this
failure leaves the country without vice
president at this time. If the president
should die before the 18th of December
an interregnum would exist in the
Office until the senate, which meets on that
date, should elect a president of that body
who would assume the duties of the presi-
dency of the United States and continue the
discharge of the same until another election
for president and vice president was held
In the meantime the secretary of state would
notify the governors of the several states,
who would order a new election, which, how
ever, could not be had until next November"
