was greeted with cheers.
Rev. John Kinnear asked whether the Ven
ezuelan government had ceded a large terri
tory in British Guinea to an American named
Fitzgerald, who had formed a limited COM
pany for the purpose of exploring the country
ceded and developing its resources. An

possession of the territory, and England had
taken steps to prevent the company so doing.

The Situation Discussed.

OTTAWA, March 26.-In the house of COM
nous tonight, Blake, the leader of the opposi-
ton, rose amid cheers to call attention to the
Reil rebellion and the causes of same. He
reviewed the conduct of the government
since Riers return to Can ada, and in stern
terms condemned their failure to deal with
the grievances of the half-breeds and other
settlers in the Northwest The govern
ment has been wanting in its
duty in Withholding information from parlia-
ment He reminded the house of Sir John
A. Macdonald's conduct in 1871, when he
paid Riel $4,000 to get out of the country,
while protesting that he wished to God he
could capture him. Riel had made a good
thing out of the rebellion in 1871 and now
wanted to repeat the operation.

more serious than Pie public has been led TO

der Riel is believed to be lying in ambush at
Batocbe. where the trail crosses the river,
waiting TO pouuce upon Col. Irvine and the
detachment under him, who are on their
Tav to reinforce Maj. Crozier at Fort

Crossing, seventv-five miles lower down,
and is making a detour in the hope OF enter
ing Carlton from the north and eluding the
rebels Great an xiety is felt here, as no word
has been received from him, and Riel is
known to be willy commander.

New YORK, March 26.-"Will there be
many changes among the officeholders?' is
question that is being constantly asked.
Your correspondent asked it yesterday of a
gentleman who had just had a peep behind d
the curtain and who had been given to know
the intentions of the administration. There
are ways in which one may get this informa-
tion direct. Of course they are not open to
the masses, but there are few men,
who by their near relatives to the men who
sit under the shadow of the throne, and
know what is said there every day, are pretty
well aware OF what is going on, and what is
to 60 on.
KITCHEN CABINET''
is bad word, but it usually happens that there
is cabinet that is not cabinet. There are
few men who are not the presidents Off
cial advisers who are really more
trusted than those of the cabinet
itself, and it is pretty clear
to all that is to be the way with this admin
istration. Randall of Pennsylvania, Jack
son of Tennessee, Hewitt and Tilden of New
York, German of Maryland, and perhaps
one or two others, seem, from what has been
developed thus far, to be likely to have good
deal to say about
THE INTERNAL MANAGEMENT
of affairs of this administration. It was
an intimate friend of one of these close
friends of the administration that this oues-
tion was asked:
"Will there be many changes in office?"
''Yes,'' was the reply, s'there will. The
fellows in office are fattering them selves that
they are not to be disturbed, but they are
likely to be pretty badly left. There will be
great many changes. They will not be made
hurriedly, nor will they be made unadvisedly,
but they will be made. You may depend
on that; and they will be of character that
will surprise good many people. The ex-
tremists, on either side, are not going to get
much recognition. The mugwumps, for in
stance, they are
GOING TO GET LEFT
in their struggle for place. Then, on the
other side, the extreme free trade people are,
as you see, being steadily set in the back
ground and the advice of such men as
Randall, Jackson and Hewitt taken in the
selection of men for place. There is to be a
pretty general change in the Offices,
but only on the most careful
examination and on the advice
of men of liberal views. The extreme tariff
people are going to be left most beautifully,
as is seen already"
'How about the Washington offices!'
''They will probably be the last ones dis
tributed. There will be a gradual change in
them, but they will be very slow and
probably many men now in office will be
retained. But in all the changes that are
made there will be great care exercised, very
great care''

Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON. March 26.-In forty or more
postofices which have been filed by Presi-
dent Cleveland two fundamental principle
have been carried out First, new appointees
have all been designated to take the offices
which have become vacant by reasons of expi-
rations of terms and removal. Every appoint
ment thus far made has been De mocrat-
This, as far as it goes, meets with the appro-
val OF the members who express satisfaction
at it, their only complaint being that the
changes will not be made fast enough. Mr..
Cleyeland's policy, it is understood, will be
as rule not to fill any of the postofices with
Democrats until the terms of the present in
cumbents expire. As fast as this occurs he
will allow members of congress the privi-
lege of
FILLING THE VACANCIES.
There were quite number of these offices
that are now vacant or will become so from
time to time soon and will serve as "short
rations' to keep the hungry ones alive until
matters get better settled or the politicians
become satisfied that they have to go hungry.
Democratic member of congress has fig
ured the thing out and says that at the
present rate it would take Cleveland
just sixty years to clean the Republicans out
of the government service. The result is
not at all satisfactory to politicians and Office
seekers. They saythat CIeveland's civil ser
vice policy may give him some
NATIONAL POPULARITY,
and NAV be that is what he wants, butrthat
it will play mischief with the Democratic
party. The disregard of congressional in
fuence is most talked of, but in the
midst Of much grumbling there are
many favorable comments upon Cleveland's
course in this respect. A prominent Demo-
cratic congressman said that the people
throughout the country were tired of having
congressman control the whole administra-
ton, and there was universal demand that
congress should be forced into proper posi-
tion as one branch of the government, and
that the executive be given control over ex-
ecutive appointments, independent of con-
gressional delegations. They were tired of
congressman exercising their influence Of
federal patronage to
KEEP THEMSELVES IN.
Cleveland's action in treating congress-
men like other citizens would be favorably
received. No appointment has yet been
made through congressional influence, and
it does not look as if there would be any.
Ofiice-seekers have begun to accept this situ-
alton, and say they look upon the indorse-
ment of delegations as injurious to
their chances as Cleveland is resisting such
pressure as a matter Of principle. The re-
suit of this, they say, will be much kicking,
but if the Republicans are ultimately turned
out of offices and Democrats put in their
places, all will be well filed

LONDON, March 26.-The fact that the
queen has sent message to parliament was
not known until after the official close on the
stock exchange, and when the news was re-
ceived most of the operators had gone. The
business during the day was steady with a
tendency toward better prices. When the
news Of the message came, q rush was made
by the remaining dealers to sell consols and
Russian bonds, but the former fell to 96s<
the lowest point touched since 1878. When
the Anglo-Russian war was threatened. Rus
sian bonds were offered at 92H with no buy

morrow.

didn't. Nevertheless the president solved the

war between Russia and England, the fight
ing will not be confined to the Afghan
frontier, but will extend to the Black sea.
1t is rumored that Great Britain has already
sounded the porte in regard to obtaining
permission to pass the Dardanelles in case OF
war. The prolonged stay in London of Has
san Fehmi Pasha, the Turkish envoy, is at
tributed to the belief that the Afghan troubles
are more likely than the Egyptian question
to effect, under certain conditions, an alli-
ance between Turkey and England.
