ing presented false vouchers to the government

sented by contractors for supplies to the naval
hospitals. Carrigan was seen no more about his
accustomed haunts since last July, when he disap-
peared, and since that time the authorities have
been looking for the fugitive. He was
tracked to Dakota, to Baltimore, to Chicago
and St Louis and finally to Brooklyn. Chief
Drummond's men have been for two months
watching several points in this city, Brooklyn
and New Jersey. The ex-chief clerk had grown
a full beard and was so changed in appearance
that an old friend would scarcely recognize him.
In Brooklyn he hid in the house of RELATIVE

go out, it was only for short distance. To-day
the officers spotted their man at Fourteenth
street and Third avenue, Brooklyn. He was
taken before United States commissioner, and
thence, in default of bail, to Raymond-street
Jail. Chief Drummopd expects to receive, to-
morrow morning, the papers necessary to the

GENERAL GRANTS HEALTH.
An Official Statement that All Immediate
Danger of Cancer Is Passed.

NEW YORK, Feb 29.-The following will ap-
pear in the next issue of the Medical Record:
There have been so many and conflicting re-
ports concerning General Grants tongue affec-
ton, that it will be gratifying to his many
friends to learn that all the more serious and
alarming symptoms connected with them have
virtually disappeared. TWAS at one time feared
in professional circles at least that alterations
of the tongue and fauces were dependent upon
a malignant disease, not of uncommon
occurrence at his time of life, as a
result of local irritation from a trouble
some tooth. The focus of the trouble was on
the side of the organ, the usual site of cancer
and the indurations of the base of the
sore wera ominously confirmatory of such suspi-
cion. We are gratified to learn from his attend
ing physician that all these signs of epitheloma
have passed away, that the liberated surfaces
have healed, and the adjoining tissues regained
their natural suppleness There is now remain

Inflammation of the part 1t would appear from
its clinical history, to have been a case
OF chronic superficial inflammation of the
tongue, the long continuance of which
results in progressive malignant destruction
of the invaded parts. There is a strong proba-
blity that excessive smoking was one of the prime
factors as to causaton, inasmuch as such has
been proven to be the case IN large majority of
persons so affected. The distinguished General
would not certainly be considered an exception
to this rule, affordng as he does a notorious
example for anti-tobacconists. STILL it is fair to
say that the disease sometimes in those
who do not. and who are not inclined to any in
temperance in tobacco Whatever may have
been the cause of the disease. it is matter for
great congratulation that all fears of grave COM

that ex President is spared an affection, the
bare contemplation of which would be distress

is really all the difference there was Such a

The Triumph of Diplomacy.

England and Russia seem to have at
last come to definite understanding as
regards the Afghan dispute, Russia has
yielded sufficiently to enable England to
maintain her corciliatory policy with
honor, and once more the great English
statesman, Gladstone, rides upon the top
wave of popular favor and confidence
among his countrymen. The triumph of
diplomacy which is celebrated in
the renewed relations of amity be-
tween the two great powers AT
fords cause for special rejoicing among
the advocates of universal pefce. If these
two great European rivals have escaped
what seemed likely to be one of the most
terrible conflicts of modern times, and
that too after the whole world had pro
nounced the struggle inevitable who
shall say that it may not be possible to
settle all future disputes between rival
powers, by arbitration,
Mr.. Gladstone to-day stands out as the
greatest figure among the worlds states
men. He has been pursuing with lofty
devotion and answering fidelity, the
greatest and grandest principle which the
world ever knew-the principle of univer-
sal peace. His triumph-as 1t now ap-
pears-is one which all humanity can
share.
Believing, as we do that the time is
coming when all international difficulties
and disputes are to be settled by arbitra-
