REPORTED TO THE CZAR.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 7.--Col. Zakri-
jewski, who was with Col Alikharoff dur
ing the Russian movements preceding and
attending the battle of Penjdeh, has reached
Russian case, and has departed for
Gatschina to deliver the report of the czar.
Col. Zaxrjewski says that the inhabitants
of Penjdeh are well disposed to
the Russians. The break in the
Caspian sea cable has been
repaired. The Russian government has de-
cided to push the extension of the Russian
railway to the Amoo-Daria, or Oxus river,
as rapidly as possible, with view to have
the construction completed to Merv by the
spring of 1886.
AGREES WITH KoMARoFF.
Col. Zallrjewskfs report of the battle Of
March 30 is identical with that Of
Gen. Komaroff. He admits the
Afghans were armed with poor rifles,
but says their guns were better than those
of Russia. He asserts that the Afghan
force numbered 5000, while there were
only 1,500 Russian troops. He brings with
him two captured Afghan standards. The
colonel is the hero of the day.
AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
The following announcement appears in
the official messenger: In consequence of
a divergence of views between the
cabinets of Russia and England
ON the Interpretation of the
March agreement it has been decided to
submit the question to the decision of an
arbitrator. Meanwhile both nations have
agreed to resume the frontier negotiations,
but on a different basis, namely: that the
principal points of the frontier be fixed by
a previous understanding between the
two cabinets, the demarcation of
the frontier on the spot, and the placing Of
indicating posts being reserved for the
commissioners, which both powers will
send, in order to facilitate the work of
delimitation. The outposts of both sides
will not be withdrawn from their present
positions until after the arrival
of the joint commission, when, as fast as
the direction of the frontier line is fixed,
the frontier points will be occupied by the

then be the duty of eace to maintain order
and security in its respective territory.
ONLY A TRUCE.
PARIS, May THE Republique Fran
caise, commenting on special advices re-
garding the state of Afghanistan, predicts
that the Afghans, aggravated by the heavy
taxation levied, will rebel, and anarchy will
reign in Herat.
RUSSIANS OCCUPY PENJDEH.
TEHERAN, May 7.-Advices from Sar-
akhs state that a small force of Russians
with four guns now occupy Penjdeh. The
same advices contain the statement that the
Russians have completely won over the Sar-
akhs Turcomans. The telegraph line is now
completed to APPOINT 100 miles beyond Ask
abad. There is an apparent lull in the Rus
sian preparation for war. The Afghan
troops along the Bala-Murghab, not having
received any pay for a long time, are greatly
demoralized.

New YORK, May 7.-At the inquiry
into the cause of the burning of the tene-
ment, in which so many lives
were lost, number of wit
nesses gave their testimony. The
jury found that the fire was the result of
accident, and recommended that the wooden
platforms on fire escapes be replaced by iron
ones; that the escapes be extended to the
roofs of buildings, and that it be made a

Bayard May Resign.

O@NON'
WASHINGTON, May 7.-Representative
Springer of Illinois thinks that Mr. Bayard
will be first to retire from President Cleve-
lands cabinet. He shares the opinion of
not a few that the premier has not the ro-
bust confidence of the president he once
had. because Of some of his unfortunate
appointments. He apprehends that some of
these days the secretary of state will hand
the president a list of appointments, to
which he will not subscribe, and the result
will be that Mr.. Bayard, rather than put up
with disappointment, will leave the cabinet.
Whatever fault can be found with the sec
retary of state as to his political
management, no one can challenge the
social status, in which the dignity of his po-
eition is upheld. Mr.. Bayard has already
gi en four receptions which have gathered

The situation at Medicine Hat.


MEDICINE HAT, N. W. T., May s.
This place is LILO miles west and north
west of st. Paul ON the line of the Cana
dian Pacific railroad, on which trains are
running nearly 400 miles west of this point.
This is supposed to be the point that Riel will
cross the railroad if driven from his quar-
ters, which lie directly north of here, as it is
the largest supply point east of Moose Jaw,
800 miles east. But as yet Qiel is still hold
ing the fort, and fears are entertained by
many that Gen. Middleton has made mis-
take in attempting to drive the enemy out
of this vast territory with only 100 mounted
men, Your correspondent was told by
Gen. Laurie that Gen. Middleton had only
12O mounted men, and he had left
his infantry and all his army behind and was
advancing on the enemy with only 12O
mounted men. There are no cavalrymen
in the country, while nearly every Indian
has good pony and many OF them well
armed. The true cause of the success
of the Indians, so far, in the skirmisheS
they have had, is attributed to the fact that
they are
Good JUDGES OF DISTANCE,
while even the fine shots that came from
Ontario are not used to this high, dry at
mOSphere, which is the same here as in
Colorado and in the mountains of Montana.
Should Gen. Middleton attack fifty Indians
with his small force he will greet the fate
of our illustriouS Custer, who was an In
dian fighter, which Gen. Middleton is
not, although he has splendid record as
British officer. The Halifax soldiers
have been ordered to this point and it really
seems that the government are endeavoring
to do all they can to capture Riel and pro-
tect the peaceable citizens along the line by
placing soldiers at all stations. Unfortu-
nately, however the stations in this far
West are like they once were on the North
ern Pacific, about fifty miles apart. This
would give Riel splendid opportunity to
cross the line, which must be done either
here or at Maple Creek if he wants sap
plies, and if not, between the stations.
The people in this little village do not seem
to fear any

Cleveland Fears Not Assassination.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May IA friend of the
president said that Mr.. Cleveland read with
much interest in the paper an account of
how he had gone through railroad acci-
dent and narrowly escaped assassination.
It was the first intimation he had received
Of either sensational episode, although
here was a breakdown OF the
engine. and some delay. The president
lid not notice it and was not informed that
it had occurred He did not hear the pistol
shots. which have been SO vividly described,
and he was under the impression that his
trip had been without accident or incident
until he read the newspapers. A New
York paper published a statement that
President Cleveland was in constant
fear of assassination, and that by the
advice of his friends he never walked in the
streets. or rides in a conspicuous carriage
or in places where his presence is likely to
attract attention or expose him to danger.
Col. Lamont says this story is utterly un-
founded. He says the president has never
supposed that he was in more danger of
assassination than an ordinary citizen,
and he has never taken any precau-
tions or given the subject any thought. In
driving out. he never selects his companion
with a view to his efficacy as body guard,
and in walking does not Shun public or eX-
posed places through any personal fear. A
few days ago he walked in the monument
grounds and vicinity with Mr.. Villas, and
his drives have always been in open We
hicles and generally through the suburbs.

The Factory Disaster.

BROOKLYN, May THE first things
found this morning in the ruins of the terri
BILE catastrophe on Monday were two small
fragments of human flesh. Almost the
first spadeful of ashes that was dug up bore
its fruit. A piece of livid flesh was scraped
Dy the blade of the tool and laid bare to
sight A few moments later another piece
OF flesh in which the veins and nerves were
visible was uncovered and laid beside the
first. Superintendent Golf said: Il called
at police headquarters and was told that
there were still seven bodies missing" The
doctors who have examined the shapeless
black portions of human bodies taken
from the ruins reported this morning that
all of fourteen persons are thus represented.
The number OF persons reported missing up
to II a. IN. to-day was twenty-one. OF the
dead the bodies of Henry burst, Adolp
Mates, Fred Egger and Edward Butler
have been identified, and men who worked
in William bursts shop say that Henry
Haffner is undoubtedly among the bodies
eXhumed yesterday. 1t is the general be-
lief that twenty-one does not cover all the
victims, and that in other parts of the ruins
more bodies, including those of several
girls. will be found. The place where the
dead have been found is in the rear of the
west extension, where the floor fell in and
the men in bursts shops were buried in the
wreck before the fire occurred. All the in
jured persons are doing well and will prob
ably recover. The trunk of man and the
leg of boy were found this afternoon in
the ruins of the factory. A man named
Carleson, Swede who worked in the fac
tory, was reported to the police to-day as
missing.

Plan of Removing Postmasters.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May THE confidential
circular which the postmaster general pre-
pared for the Democratic members of the
congressional delegation in Ohio is now
doubtless in the hands Of all those entitled
to receive it. In this circular Mr.. Villas in
forms the Ohio members of his intention to
remove between Is and 25 per cent. of
the Republican pOstmasterS in the counties
of the state. He is especially anxious to
decapitate the class who combine newspa-
per editing with the management of the
postoffice. To this end he invites the con-
gressmen to go over the files Of any paper
owned by Republican postmaster of the
fourth class, and Gull therefrom any edi-
torial articles derogatory to the Democratic
candidates for president and vice president
This he assures the delegation will be cause
sufficient for removal. This class he wants
particularly fired out. The second class he
wants to remove are those who make the
postoffice the headquarters for political
meetings or campaign movements. An
Ohio member called on the postmaster gen.
eral to-day, and told him that as rule the
postmasters of the fourth class did not COM
bine newspaper editing with their duties as
postmasters. For this reason the charges
called for would not be forthcoming. Even
if the postnasters did engage in
such a line he thought it asking a
deal to crowd upon a member of congress
the task of going over newspaper files and
then making affidavits, in addition to the
fact that so and so appeared in a print con-
trolled by the postmaster sought to be
removed, In so far as using the postofice
as campaign headquarters for the Republican
party, the member Of congress said that 95
out of 100 now in Office fell under that
ban. 1t would be an easy matter to pile
Indictment upon Indictment in this respect.
''You know how it is in Wisconsin," said
the unabashed Ohio congressman. "Well,
it is the same in Ohio, and all over the
land" According to the program the
postmaster general hopes to complete his
sweep in Virginia by the end of next week.
Then he will be ready to remove ''15 to 25
per cent" of the Republican postmasters of
the fourth class in each county in Ohio.

Hard Cases Arrested.

CHICAGO, May 7.-Detactives Kay and
Mirse and Officer Ryan espied three des-
perate criminals named James Mcguire,
alias Cap Roach, Ed Haggerty and Ed Bar
rett, all of whom have served out peniten-
tiary sentences, late yesterday afternoon in
the rear Of business block. The trio
started to run when they saw the officers,
and the latter went in pursuit. The men
ran into the lumber yards near Market and
Van Buren, streets, where they began firing
upon the officers. The police responded and
there was a running fire for three blocks.
One of the pursued ran into crowded street
car and the officer following created great
commotion among the passengers. ALI three
were finally disarmed and arrested. Officer
Ryan was shot in the foot by Mcguire, and
the latter had just drawn second revolver.
A large crowd collected and threats of
lynching were made against Mcguire by the
excited crowd, but he was finally placed
behind the bars. Mcguire received bullet
in his leg. Officer Ryan's clothes had -four
bullet holes in them.

The Mystery Clearing.

CHICAGO, May 7.-To-night the police
here are confident that they have solved the
mystery surrounding the death OF Fillippo
Caroso. On evidence furnished by little
girl five important arrests were made this
evening. The suspects are Sicilians
of the lowest class, and none
of them can speak word OF English.
Their names are Augustine COmaats, An
tonic CamiritO, John AZzrO and SylveStlne
and Bove Ingnasso. The three last named
are residents where the murdered man was
last seen week ago last Thursday. Camirito
and Comoato are respectively husband and
brother to the woman Victoria COmirlto,
who has been arrested in New York. A
week ago last Thursday Mamie Cachett,
12-year-old girl living in the vicinity, says
she saw Tillippio Caruso enter the house OF
the three suspects above named. About an
hour after she noticed a man. carrying a
large trunk, admitted to the house. Her
description of this trunk leaves little
doubt that it is the one in which
the corps of the unfortunate Caruso was
shipped to Pittsburg. The man Jurado,
whose arrest is reported from New York,
and who apparently followed the trunk and
its ghastly contents to Pittsburg, thence
continuing his journey east, is regarded by
the pelice here as beyond doubt one OF
the men present at the murder of Coruso, it
not the instigator of the crime.
FIVE SUSPECTS ARRESTED.
New YORK, May 7.-Police Inspector
Byrnes on Tuesday received dispatch
from Chief Doyle of Chicago, stating that
the italian, Igastiano Jurado, who is charged
with the murder Of the man found in the
trunk at Pittsburg had come to New York.
A description of JuradG was given and De-
tective Sergeants Perasco and Tessaro found
him hiding at 545 Wooster street the same
night. The prisoner was taken to police
headquarters, where he gave his age as "a,
and said he was peddler. Chief Doyle
was communicated with, and Detective
Bonfeld, accompanied by the baggage
master who checked the trunk from Chicago
to Pittsburg, at once started for New ork.
This afternoon the baggage-master unhesi-
tatingly picked Jurado out as the man who
had brought the trunk to the station. The
prisoner refused to make any statement,
but willingly agreed to return to Chicago
with Detective Bonfield. They start early
Friday morning.

The number Of hotels In New York Is
increasing very rapidly, but 1t Is a no
t~iceatle fact that nearly all of the new
bindings are small. The only praten-
tious hotel structure that has recently
been erected in upper New York is the
Murray Hill. The craze for mammoth
hotels reached its climax in the preten-
tious failure at Rockaway beach. Ex-
perienced hotel men are no longer en-
thusiastic about the number OF acres
their buildings cover, and they have
learned a lesson from the histories Of
such hotels rs the Grand Union and the
United States at saratoga
Just now the rage is for small and
snowy houses and cheap prices. Within
two years more than a dozen hotels have
been started above Twenty third street,
which otter admirable accommodations,
not only for bachelors, but particularly
for small families. The rooms are all
arranged in suites Of three -parlor,
bedroom and bath-and the cuisine,
though not SO elaborate as in the larger
houses, is satisfactory. People are NOV
ing out of tats and into small hotels as
rapidly as they are built. A number Of
the largo hotels, realizing that there is
a profit in this movement, have been in
vesting in small hotel property.
A comparison of prices between
large and small hotels is highly favora-
BILE to the latter as far as bachelors are
concerned. l have lived in a number Of
hotels in New York and speak from ex-
perience. At present l have three
rooms on the second Loor Of one of these
small family hotels, where the table is
fully as good as it is at the Fifth
Avenue, the service excellent and the
location unexceptionable. lpi
My rooms have hot and cold water,
bath, portieres, beautiful furniture, etc,
and the cost Of it all, including four
meals n day-the last being a late sup
per-is $50 a week. When you take
into consideration the number of com
forts which such a hotel supplies, 1t
will be seen that larger houses cannot
compete with them.
