house of commons this afternoon, stated
that word had been received from Sir
Peter Lumsden, which showed there was
no confirmation of the report that the
Russians advanced to Murghab river after
the battle of Penjdeh. Continuing,
Gladstone said that the result of the gov
ernment's communications with Russia
concerning its reported advance amounted
to the renewal of Russia's assurance that
no such advance will occur if the issue Of
contradictory instructions can prevent it.

Murdered or Notp

BISMARCK. Da., April l4.-About two
months ago Edward Chamberlain disap-
peared from Moore's ranch, at Dogden,
in Sheridan county, sixty miles northwest
from Bismarck. Two weeks ago Nathan
Moore, owner of the ranch, was arrested
on suspicion of numbering Chamberlain,
but as there was no evidence Of the latter
being dead. the examination was pest
poned to Friday. this week. Monday,
Chamberlain body was found a few miles
from the ranch. Parties from Washburn
who went after the body, yesterday, say it
lay on one side, with legs bent and crossed
as though he sat down on a snow bank,
froze to death and tipped over when the
snow melted from under him. An in
quest was held at Washburn. Chamber
lain formerly lived about thirty miles
south of Bismarck, and went to Dogden
last fall. Moore, when arrested, said
when Chamberlain left the ranch he went
after two lost ponies. and he believed
Chamberlain was either frozen to death
or had skipped the country. Moore is
FROM Minnesota, and has relatives at Sank
Rapids.

WASHINGTON, April IA. - Secretary
Endicott has issued the following circular:
I'm view OF the many complaints re-
ceived on the subject, it is hereby an
nounced to the employees of this depart
ment that they are expected to pay their
just debts. While the department will not
permit itself to be used as a collection
agency, and declines to take action in a
case where Illegal interest is charged, or
where the Indebtedness was incurred be-
fore an employe entered the service of the
department, neither will it harbor anyone
who contracts a debt on the strength of
his official position, and then, without
sufficient excuse, ~neglects to make pay
ment; and generally, it may. be said, where
a case has been tried and judgment rem
dered, it is too late to deny the business or
correctness of the amount of the judg-
ment. Hereafter complaints will be sent
to the proper chiefs of bureaus, who will
be expected to take such action as may be
necessary; and if it should appear that
the employe is using his official position
as a shield to avoid payment of his debts,
and in violation of this circular, he will
be recommended for discharge"
