The Riel Rebellion.


B%ATTLEFoRD, May s.-Gen. Middleton
is reported to be engaging the rebels at
Batouche to-day, and an impression pre-
walls here that il the half-breeds are
routed by him they will double around this
way in order to effect a junction with
Poundmaker. A party who went to the
Mossamins reserve to-day, report him
gone north. If Middleton disposes of
the enemy, it is thought that he will
march this way, and being Joined by the
troops here will proceed against Pound
maker. Otherwise no aggressive move
ment will be made from here until rein
forcements arrive. A number of Indian
signal fires were seen in different parts to-
day. The pickets are doubled tonight.

ST. PETERSBURG, May S.-The Mos
COW Gazette, with reference to the sub
mission of the Afghan frontier difficulty
to arbitration, says hal it was only posi-
bic to permit the correctness of our ac-
ton to be certified to b. a third party.
Such a ours as this is not arbitration in
any proper sense of the term, but simply
a respectable means Of terminating the
incident. The More Nenio explains that
Sir Peter Lumsden. who they say made
all the mischief. has been recalled to
London.

CHICAGO, May s.-The publication last
week in the Chicago Newsletter of a para
graph rejecting on the private life of Nh.
Nat Goodwin, actor, has been the occa-
sion of considerable comment here. Great
ly exaggerated reports of the affair were
sent broadcast in which the actor was pic
tured as entering the editor's Office in a
rage, threatening to do him bodily injury,
f%ourishing weapons, etc. In to-day's
issue of the Newsletter Mr.. Dalziel regrets
that the paragraph in question should
have appeared in his paper, and acknowl-
edges that since, on Mr.. Goodwin's au-
thority, the statements contained in the
paragraph we're altogether incorrect, the
paper was in the wrong.
Fancy hosiery in endless variety and
cheap at polack's.

The Pressure Upon the President.


WASHINGTON, May considerable
significance is attached to a conference
which occurred between Mr.. Randall,
Chairman Barnum and Secretary Man
ming, Monday, during which Appoint.
ment Clerk Higgins wa sent for and con-
suited. Monday Mr.. Randall was with
Assistantant Secretary Fairchild for an
hour. Tuesday Mr.. Randall was closeted
for several hours with Mr.. Higgins. To.
night he was in Mr.. Lamar's inner room
for two hours. These consultations are
regarded as significant. Politicians say
that the effort is being made to reach
Cleveland through Manning, in whose po-
litical sagacity they have the utmost con-
idence, and that the conference was for
that purpose. The general question of
party recognition was dismissed, and the
necessity of correcting the impression that
the Democrats are to form no part of this
administration, which they say is wide
spread, was urged. The impression is
now hat these men will have more sue
cess in moving the president than the nd
vance guard of politicians did, and that
many changes are to be made very soon.

ment should certainly require for the transac-
ton Of public business Shall the subordinate
employees be selected on account of political con-
sideratoni 1t we have an interest in the business
OF the government then the best test should be
applied to the applicants which is not political
one. President-elect Cleveland has spoken very
plainly on this question, and his utterances can
not be misunderstood"
Here Judge Thoman quoted at length from
Governor Clevelends letter of acceptance as
Governor of New York, and letter in answer
to one written. to him this subject, bearing
date Oct Is, 1884, and his letter accepting the
nomination for the presidency. He then con-
tinuej:
1T is mistaken idea that the business of the
government belongs to the party in power it
belongs to the people, and they demand that it
be administered for the best interests of it. and
that the public servants be honest, com
petent, faithful and economical Is
it the province of political organizations
to exist simply to disburse or dispense
patronagea If that be true, then the sooner the
dissolution comes the better for that political
party: Much is said Of the Jacksonian prnci,-
pie, to the victor belongs the spoils, and that
that doctrine should be adhered to; but it seems
to me that if the old advocates of that principle
could have seen its present effects they would
have been content with the Jeffersonian test,
is he honest is he competent, is he faithful to
step to reform, and puts the subordinate places
outside OF political tests or party fealty, and
substitutes system of merit instead of a sys-
tenn of favoritism 1t has brought to the pub
lie service in the last eighteen months more than
1000 persons, who owe their appointment to
nothing but merit. This first effort in admin
istrative reform will be strengthened when all
unnecessary. incompetent and dereict public
officers are dispensed with
The letter of Mr.. Cleveland to George Will
lam Curtis again shows the wisdom, candor and
sincerity with which he regards the Importance
of this question, and all friends of ciyil-service
reform feel assured that there is to be no step
backward in this waiter. I maintain that the
business of the government should be placed
upon the same base with private business, and
that it is the duty Of the government to select
the best men it can find for the salary it pays
When these results are attained. the affairs of
the government will be conducted with 25 per
cent. less employees and corresponding reduction
In the expenses. If this is true of the general
government it is also true of the States 1t is a
fitting time for Ohio to raise herself up to the
standard Of New York and Massachusetts on
the question by the passage of a suitable civil
service law"

A FAMOUS DEFAULTER.
Savary Supposed To Be Now Living in Cse.a-
da with Nine. Lamy.

QUEBEC Jan. Sit is said that sensational
developments have just come to light concerning
prominent and noted French refugee from JUS
tice, who has been living here in disguise for SOW
erai weeks, earning precarious living by
writing articles on literary and artistic subjects
for the French Canadian newspapers. Quenault
is identical with Ernest Savary, the Under Seq
rotary of State for France, in the government Of
NJ Dufaure, formed in 1878. He was for many
years member for Lyons in the Chamber of Dep
uties and was president Of the Banque De Rhono
ct Loire, which collapsed in the crash Of 1882
Savary was prosecuted for violating the French
banking law, convicted by default and sentenced
to imprisonment for FIVE years His escape
from the country, however, was convived at by
some of those high in Office in the admMistra-
ton Of justice.
Last spring Savary gained the affections Of
the wife of Lamy, an electrician, who was man
ager of a company formed by him in Lyons, and
induced her to desert her family and elope with
hith him. Nine. Lamy left behind her nota
stating that she had left the country Two
months later Lamy being in Paris he accident
ally came across his wife and Savary. He fired
two shots from his revolver, severely injuring
his wife's paramount, and he was about firing
again, when he was seized by a gensdarme and
placed under arrest His trial took place in
Paris last month, on charge of attempted
murder. The jury, influenced no doubt by the
provocation received by Lamy, returned YER
dict of not guilty. Savary has, meanwhile, been
convicted by default of completely in adultery,
and sentenced to six months imprisonment
Mime. Lamy is now living here with Savary a.
his wife, and has been received into leading
French Canadian society In his speculations Ia
the crisis of 1882 Savary is reported to have
lost 5000, 600 francs.

New York Special.
Among the passengers who came down on the
Sixth-avenue line of the elevated railroad at
IL o'clock this morning was Mrs Leslie and the
Marquis De Leuville and Mrs. Ieslies dog. 1t
would not be the least exaggeration to say that
the trio excited more attention than any other
three beings on the car. 1t had been reported
that Mrs. Leslie was Frustrated from excitement
over the troubles into which the noble Marquis
has recently been plunged. 1t was in fact

have been true. On the contrary, she was look

air had painted her full cheeks a. deeper hue than
the rouge she SO plentifully uses could give
them, and her eyes were more piercingly bril-
liant than usual She wore nobby little black
bonnet ornamented with ostrich feathers and

neither foot clothed in glistening patent leather,
far out into the aisle, grasped his knee with his
big soft hand upon the third finger of which he
wore a ring with emerald setting as large as a
hazelnut, and leaned forward most protectlngly
benignantly aud affectionately toward his re-
ported fance, who looked responsive chances to
his adoring gaze. His giant-like form was made
still more conspicuous by great overcoat that
came within three inches of the floor, aud that
had about the sleeves collar and lappels broad
bands Of otter fur His long black hair, freshly
combed and freshly stepped in pomade, hung in
streamlets and ringlets upon his shoulders, and

Findings in a Famous Lawsuit.

ROCHESTER,. N. Y. Jan. 8-The findings of
Cla1in g. Co., of New York. against Donald
Gordon. were filed today. The plaintiffs re,
ceived Judgment, nearly a year ago, against
Donald Gordon large dry goods dealer, fol-
5000, 900, and an execution was issued and re
turned wholly unsatisfed. In December, 1885,
Gordon made general assignment to Abraham
Z. Wolff Among preferences was claim Of
Mary Gordon, his wife, of about $1,000, for
services alleged to have been rendered. The
Judge finds that the assignor was not indebted
to her, and that she owed him. and the prefer
ence was made to defraud; it is also found that
Wolff has in his hands about 5000 000 and was
not q party to the fraudulent intent of the
assignor. The assignment was set aside and the
plaiptiffs directed to be paid the amount of their
judgment and the costs of the action A referee
was appointed to take an account of the moneys
which have come into the assignee's hands.

correspondent: 81 have had specially

The center of interest at this moment is
the Irish party and Mr.. Parnell, and
there is the livliest desire everywhere to
know what their action will be toward
the conservative Government. | have

selves. would have been impossible
for the government to pass, first the CO.

present one with its successive failures
of Forster, Tr0volyn and Spencer.
We have saved the one remaining in
dustry Of Ireland, whisky, from
a permanent burden, and we
have put an end to coercion forever.
With regard to his action during the
rest Of the session, Mr.. p. assured me
thatunless the Tories attempt to carry
through a coercion bill, which he IS
confident they will not, his party will
give them what no calls fair trial. His
attitude will be live and let live. He
said: ave have never attacked merely
