New YORK, March 1.-THE statement that
the Rev. Dr. Burchard has been retired from
the active pastorate of the Murry Hill Presby-

question was lately annoyed by anonymous let

WAsHINGToN March 1l.-This morning Vice
president Hendricks and Senator Voorhees,
called upon Secretary Villas and were at the
Postofice Department sometime. Indianians
say they were fixing up an appointment of post
master at indianapolis; that recommendation
has been made, and that it will be sent in at the
expiration Of Mr. Wildman's term 1t is be-
lieved generally that Aquila Jones is the sue
cessful man. When Cas- Byfeld left here,
however, he told his friends that he would be ap-
pointed, and that he would not leave if he had
not been assured that everything was all right
for him. Mr.. Hendricks is known to be some
what partial to Byfeld, for personal reasons, but
the party services of Mr.. Jones have been held
up by others as an argument that he should be
appointed. Mr.. Geiger is a strong man, but it
seems that Jones and Byfeld have outstripped
him during the past few days. The proposition
to let the people of Indianapolis decide at an elec
tion who should be postmaster has failed

postmaster, and so informed Mr.. Hendricks that
he could not interfere.

the usual rush of visitors to the White House to-
day. The President arose early, and at once
betook himself to opening his mail. which was
unusually large. AS one of the clerks at the
White House put it, president Cleveland re-
ceives as many letters day as ex-President
Arthur received in week." 1t is a fair infer
ence that many of these letters relate to appoint
mentS TO office. The President ran hnrriedly
through his mail and then began a reception of
visitors, many of whom had been waiting some
time. Among the callers were congressional
delegations from Kentucky. Illinois, Iowa. North
Carolina and Florida. The Secretary Of War
called about noon. and had long conference
with the President At O'Clock the
doors of the White House were thrown
open to the public, and the President was kept
busy receiving callers for over an hour
Col. Lamont said to-day that the reduction in

says the Indian native soldiers were in their first
engagement on Egyptian soil yesterday.
A party of Osman Digna's Arabs made
an attack near Suakim, and the Sikhs
were sent out into an open field to repel the at
tack. They were splendidly handled, and
showed admirable GOODNESS and steadness The
skirmish was hot while it lasted, but the Arabs
were soon repused, and many of their dead left
upon the field. The Arabs became panic stricken
when they saw the swarthy Mohammedans from

livering their fire with such precision as to make
almost every shot tell.

Winter Circus attacked Edward Williams, lion
tarner while he was putting her through her
regular performance in the cage, last night. The
scene at once threw the vast audience into
state of terror. Williams made most desperate
struggle, and the fight between him and the en-
ragged beast lasted for several minutes, during
which he was terribly lacerated, the lioness
bounding about the cage bowling with rage. The
circrs attendants, who ran to Wiliams's assist
ance with iron bars and prongs, while they
finally succeeded in saving his life, goaded the
lioness to such ferocity that her actions threw
the spectators into panic, and they rushed
pell-mell from the place. the men crushing the
women and children down and in many cases

was opened and Williams quickly slipped out
and sprung the door behind him. The moment
