Comment of the English Press on the Gen.
eral Situation.
LONDON, May 9.-The Times doubts the ex-
istence of any documents or dispatches re-
specting the Anglo Russian agreement of March
16 sufficiently definite for the purpose of arbitra-
ton. Referring to the report from Vienna, that
Herat is not mentioned in the negotiations be-
tween England and Russia, the Times says: IF
the government thinks the fate of Herat may be
left to the caprice of the Ameer the treachery of
the local governor, or the success of pretender,
the ministry had better tell the country their
opinion, and either give place to others more
foreseeing, or abstain from boastng of their
money, prestige, and half-hearted measures
which deceive nobody, and least OF all Rus
sia."
The Standard hopes that 1.-The cruel and pat
ronizing bluntness of the Official Messengers
statement will sting Gladstone into another
speech worthy of British minister Herat is
now the main question. No question pledge,
however binding, which would only relieve US
from diplomatic squabble, ought to prevent US
from taking action to forestall eventuaities."
The continued uncertainty Of the political as
pect tends to restrict the amount of business
done on the Street Exchange, with the result
that each small transaction exercises dispro-
portionate effect on prices. The greatest anxiety
is felt about the result of the vote of credit
which will come up in the House Of Commons
on Monday, although it is unlikely that the ro-
suit will be adverse to the ministry, especially if
Lord Hartington's statement of the Soudan pol
icy proves satisfactory to the Liberals.
The current rumors of the resignation of the
Earl of Duffern arise from the inference that he
disagrees with the governments policy, and the
fact that Dufferin accepted his position with the
understanding that he was to take the full re-
sponsbility of the government in India
1t is rumored tt at the Russian dispatch by
courier differs somewhat from the summary first
received by telegraph, but it is expected that the
discrepancies of statement can be easily recon
cied. It is estimated that almost half of the
vote of credit has already been absorbed in the
war preparations 80 far ordered, which are now
too far advanced to be rescinded. The work of
equipment for the Soudan, however has almost
ceased, the greatest efforts being directed to the
naval armament

His appointment VIII Be Canceled-Mr.
Bayard's Change of Views.
Special to the Indiana polls Jouraai.
WAsHINGToN, May 9-Secretary Bayard said,
some days ago that he cares nothing whatever
for newspaper comment, and that he does not
propose to be influenced by it, AS soon as the
appointment of DR.. j. Ernest Meiere to be Con-
sui at Nagasaki, Japan, was announced one
week ago, the newspapers fairly jumped
upon the administration. The fire on
Meere has been kept up with such
effect that it has been decided to withdraw his
appointment, aud to withhold his commission.
Secretary Bayard has changed lis IDEAS Ho
said to day: ''Mr. Meiere has not been appointed
to any foreign mission. A consul is not ap-
pointed until his commission is signed, and his
bond has been accepted Mr.. Meieres commission
is not signed, and never will be- Herepresented
himself as coming from Colorado, and produced
strong Endorsements from the politicians Of that
State. 1t was not until after lie was nominated
that heard of his true character, and if he had
been really appointed to the mission he would
have been removed. Of course lie was an entire
stranger to me, and if people are so careless as
to indorse men of whom they know nothing, or
men of that character, how are we to help our
selves, and know whom to appoint!'
Whatever he may be politically, it is eri-
dent that J. Ernest Mciere, whom the
reforming administration wants as consul at
Nagasaki, Japan, is not inclined to assist
his party and country as exemplars Of
good morals. The further one gets into Meiere's
record, beautifully less grow the possibilities
that there may be some virtue in him.
1t now appears that even his wife has lost hope
in his moral recovery. She has obtained an abb
solutc divorce, and will permit J. Ernest to go
Japanward without her neutralizing influence.
Mrs. Meiere's father was the hate commander
Buchanan. who commanded the Merrimac in the
Monitor fight The President in making this
appointment, was influenced by Meiere's high
connections. Since this superior relationship
rcpudiates him the query is pertinent, what will
Cleveland do about itl The divorce was
procured on the grounds of brutality and
neglect If this distinguished citizen goes to
Nagasaki, the Japanese will have an effective
example of what an American can do when he
bends his energies to receiving a bad namo

Arbitration Doubtful.

LONDON, May 9.-The arbitration scheme is
not making rapid progress toward consumma
ton. Although Russia has not receded from her
agreement to submit the question in dispute to
arbitration, yet it is announced that delay is
likely to occur in the preliminary stages of the
affair. Before arbitration is possible it is neces
sary for both Cabinets to agree upon the speci
fed details to be submitted to the arbitrator.
This may consume considerable time.

There was great surprise in our
city yesterday morning when IL was
announced that Mr.. ID. NJ. Turnbull
was dead. lie died at his fathers
residence ON South Third street Mon
day morning at 500 o'clock, of mala-
rial fever. AT the time OF his death
Mr.. NJ. was 20 years and nine
months old. II seems strange TO say
Mac Tnrnbull is dead" Only a few
days ago he was IN our midst full of
life aud vigor man of fine physique
and form, the very picture of health,
one would not think that so soon
death would claim him; IL seemed that
he was destined to live many years,
and that when his parents lived TO
ripe old age, he would be here to
comfort them, but alas, the father,
mother, sisters and brother saw their
cherished one called away. MIR.
Turnbull was popular with every one,
and large circle of friends will miss
him. AT the time of his death he
held position in the Central rail
road Office, East Waco.
Major Il. w. Turnbull, father of the
deceased, has been in the north for
two or three weeks, aud was tele-
graphed at ST. Paul, MIMI, Sunday
afternoon, of his sons condition. The
body has been embalmcd, and will
not be buried until Major Turnbull
returns home.

One gentleman smoked constantly
as he played, ligeting his thick Turk
ish cigarettes al one of the candles
which stood in silver candlesticks at
either end of the long table; he slipped
a gold coin or Two under the CANDLE
stick, and, IL that end OF the table
won, he raised the cand.estick to
light his cigarette, thus revealing the
coins, which the dealer paid, but If
that end of the table lost, the player
restrained yet little longer his de-
sire for the consolation of tobacco.
Another gentleman would call out
bet of so louis on the right; the dealer
would note this; then the PLAYER
would quietly drop so LOUIS coun.

draw attention to the counter to show
that he had paid his debt; If he won,
he would let the dealer pay the cou,-
err first, and then he would calmly
request payment for the so louis bet
on credit. A third gentleman threw

it for a soiled one, declaring that the

The EXAMINER called on DIR. s. b.

status of the Speight street improve
ments II Is estimated that fully one
eighth OF the wagon trade of Waco

while the street is now in apparently
excellent condition, one or two fall
rains will be sufficient to DESTROY all
the good of the cOuntry's aud city's
work, unless the street Is graveleu or
causewayed at once. The city aud
county have expended about three
hundred dollars in grading the street,
and have made fair job of it. The
citizens of Robinson have raised, by
straining every nerve, and calling on
some OF their Waco friends, $3.50,
which falls $3.50 short of the require
meDts. The citizens of Robinson are
becoming discouraged, and unless
they are helped out by the Waco mer-
chants. will abandon the pr ject.

o'clock. Mr.. M. had just passed his
majority, and only short time ago
he seemed full of life aud vigor, but
that dreadful disease, consumption,
took hold of that manly form, and In

other victim. The funeral took
place Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock,
the fire department and the East and
West Waco temperance councils
turning out Ell massc to pay their last
rad rites TO one who had been with
them in life. The procession
was one OF the largest ever
seen in the city. Rev. Horace
Bishop conducted the services at the
residence and the temperance coun-
ellis read the burial services at the
grave, and the body of Barney Mob

in the beautiful lakewood cemetery.
