FOREIGN NOTES.

Russian quartermasters are purchasing
every camel they can buy in the Bokhara dis
trict. They have already more animals than
they need. but it 10 stated they wish to cripple
the English troops by dcpriving them of the
means of transportation. The Afghans
are making extensive Notifications in the
Balkh district and along the line of the Oxus
river.
Russian advance upon Afghanistan is Gre
aIing great excitement in England. The gov
eminent has ordered naval and military PEN
sioners at the Portsmouth dockyards TO be in
readiness for medical inspection-the first
time such inspection has been ordered since
the Crimean war. The London Evening News
states 1t is learned circumstances from the
highest quarters have been addressed to the
czar in the interests of peace, and have met
with such a chilling response slight hopes are
now entertained that hostilities can be
avoided.
In the commons Gladstone declared he
would stand behind no man in the value he
attached to the friendship of Germany. He
must say, however. he was not prepared to
admit the friendship of any country in the
world was now or ever had been necessary to
enable England 10 maintain her position. He
thought where Germany's colonization oper-
atoms were bonafde and consistent with the
rights of AL parties, England, with due regard
to the claims Of her own colonists ought to
meet Germany in no grudging spirit and
should refrain from discussing the occupation
of this or that spot after the name of bucks
tiers, showing disposition to grudge what we
are unable to hold

CAPITAL BRIEFS.

First Assistant Postmaster General Crosby
has resigned and his resignation has been
accepted.
President Cleveland's private mail is very
large Many of the letters. it is supposed, re.
late to appointments to office. Since the
Inauguration the presidents private score
tary and the entire clerical force has been
busily engaged from in the morning to mid
night, owing to the rush of business.
The president again held open house ON the
9th and received large number of visitors,
including congressional delegations from sew
eral states. In order to devote his attention
to official matters requiring action by the
present special session of the senate it is
probable that the president will have to deny
himself to visitors for few days.
The republican senators held a caucus to
further discuss the formation of committees.
The subject was talked over at length, but
nothing was decided upon. incidentally the
treaties were mentioned and the question was
asked whether they had better be considered
at the present session. No one advocated
that course and no one opposed it, and the
subject was finally left to the caucus commit
tee TO determine.
The caucus of republican senators on the
18th finished the task Of allotment of places
on the majority sides of the senate commit
tees. Senator Conger succeeds the chairman
ship of the committee on postoffices and
post-roads, made vacant by the retirement of
Senator Hill. Senator Pike takes the chair
manship of the committee on claims, held by
Senator Cameron of Wisconsin. Senator
Sewell takes Senator Logan's place at the
head Of the committee on military affairs.
Senator Evarts is made member of the judi
ciary and foreign relations committees. Sem
ator Teller is made chairman of the commit
tee on mines and mines, and a member of the
committee on public lands. The judiciary
committee is increased by one, and the COM
merce and public building commissioners by
two members each. Many other changes
were made in the membership of committees
for the purpose of equalizing the honors. re-
sponsibilities and labors of the committee
room, and the task pf the caucus committee
was found one of considerable difficulty.

Acknowledgement.

On Tuesday was contaminated mar
rage, the details of which are interest
ing, on account of the unusual circum-
stances that cemented bond already
existing. Several years ago, Mr.. John
M. Moberly, a mature business man,
and a person of sedate and methodical
life, was smitten by the quiet charms
and modest graces of Miss Mamie E.
Coleman, then a mere girl with long
curls of beautiful brown hair. The
friendship formed ripened into the
deepest devotion, and Mr.. Moberly
soon occupied the position of the favor
ed sutton of Miss Coleman. Time rolled
on, and the ardent regard of the young
people might never have proved other
than Platonic, had not good fortune
visited them by means of the Louisiana
State Lottery. In playful mood, they
agreed to invest three dollars in three
fifths of a ticket, Miss Coleman paying
one dollar, with the expectation of re-
ceiving one-third of the returns. Two
weeks later MIR. Moberly, in whose
name the ticket was made, was startled
at his desk at the Mercer National Bank
by the intelligence that his ticket had
drawn $4,000. He Immediately went
to New Orleans, secured his money,
and, with high sense of honor, sent
Miss Coleman her portion, $1,000.
After two months longer of waiting,
the devoted young people determined
to invest in a lottery ticket again; this
time in the lottery of matrimony, in
which we are fully persuaded they will
both draw prizes.
The marriage was celebrated Tues
day last at 1890, at the residence of the
brides father, Mr.. r. E. Coleman,
where most sumptuous feast was
served to the few friends invited to at
tend. The young couple left on the
1:25 train for Washington, where they
will make their future home. Mr..
Noberly will engage in the real estate
and claim business with his brother,
Judge VIM. Moberly. The groom is an
able business man, while the bride is an
amiable and attractive lady, and they
cannot fail to find success and many
friends in their new home.-Harrode-

THE 4DMINIsTRATTON POLICY.

As Forestado,red by DR.. Miller, of Omaha,
Recently IN Close Communion WITH the
President.
Chicago dispatch: DR.. George l.. Miller, of
omaha, who was much talked of for postmas-
ter-general and who was offered and declined
the first assistants place, is in the city on his
way home. In talking to Tribune reporter
relative to the Offices, the doctor was inclined
to the belief that the administration would go
slowly. The 'eads of bureaus and other re-
sponsible positions would be changed as rap
idly as consistent with good selections, but in
the clerkships and such minor places there
was no hurry to change. He thought the
choice of Gen. Black as commissioner of pen
sions gave an idea OF the appointments: Men
would be quietly selected and appointed with
out the help or Intermediary politicians. II
had a brief talk with the president, which was
interrupted by a summons home," said the
doctor, '.in which spoke Of the Importance
of the small postoffices to the party in the mi
nority states. From what he said. and also
from what he did not say, inferred that the
changes except as commissions expired,
would not be generally made unless the In
cumbent can be proved to have neglected his
duties to interfere in town, county or state
politics. The president seemed much inclined
to resent this federal interference. He seemed
to have ideas regarding the civil service which
may disgruntle many democrats, and may be
among the number, but he is of the hard
headed, stubborn kind. My talk on this sub
iect with him was interrupted several times,
and, while he may not have expressed himself
fully, think these differences REGARDING his
policy are very nearly correct. He is, how
ever, more inclined to ask questions than to
express his own opinions, even with his init
mate friends.'
The doctor also spoke of the host of Office
seekers in Washington, and believed that the
conflict of claims for offices would prevent.
for some tine at least, changes which would
otherwise be made much sooner. Where the
claims SCENT nearly equal it appeared to be
the policy to go entl AZ aszesSSc and select
new man. This he gave as the reason for the
appointment of Judge Endicott.

available limits of the great west had been

about all taken, and that all that lay beyond
was rainless region. At only as uncertain
grazing grounds for the venturesome herder
and shepherl. But the settler has kept
steadily encroaching upon the boundaries of

ert, exploding the theory of the explorer and
spelling the map of the geography.
The New Orleans Democrat of a recent date
says: Thirty painted savages clad in all the
glory Of q Pawnee's paints and feathers, were
the occupants of Nebraska's new and elegant
headquarters yesterday, and formed an at
traction that drew to the scene large crowd
of spectators. The visiting Indians were
from the Wild West show, managed by that
hero of border romance, Buffalo Bill, and
were accompanied by that noted character
and Major Frank North. Though two
years tour through the United States has left
to the Indians but little of the dignity with
which the noble red man is invested in the
novels Of Cooper, yet the delegation at the
exposition yesterday preserved their stoical
demeanor, seldom evincing establishment
After short stay at Nebraska's space, the
cavalcade filed through the aisles of the gov
eminent building, examining everything in
passing. One Indian who had sister in the
Indian school at Carlisle was taken to the ex-
hibit of that institution in the gallery, where
he was shown her picture and a small dress
made by her hands. He showed great inter
est in the school. and seemed to envy the In
dams who had obtained appointments The
great plant Of engines in the main building
seemed to be of the greatest interest to the
Indians. and as the huge wheels whirled
around, obedient to the mighty strokes of the
great pistons, the sight drew many apprecia-
tive gestures and remarks from the party of
spectators.

POLITICAL NOTES.

The common council of the city of LIE Mars
Iowa, has formally petitioned Gov. Sherman
to convene the legislature in extra session to
repeal the prohibitory law.
The president received the members of the
diplomatic corps and ladies of their families
in the blue parlor of the executive mansion
on the 18th. He was assisted by his sisters,
Miss Cleveland and Mrs. Hoyt. Members of
the cabinet and the ladies of their families
were also present. The visitors were formal
ly presented to the president and the ladies
of his family by the secretary of state.
The democratic senators have completed
their arrangements of committees. Senators
Vest, Coke and Harris are to succeed Gar
land, Bayard and Lamar on the judiciary
committee. Senator Vance will go on the
finance committee, in place of Bayard. Sem
ator Ransom will succeed Bayard as chair
man of the committee ON private land claims,
and Senator Gorham will take Ransom's old
place as chairman of the committee on the
Potomac river front. Senator Kenna will go
on the commerce committee.
A Washington special says: The result of
yesterdays cabinet meeting is received with
profound disgust by the ofice-seekers. In
stead of large batch of nominations, as
was expected, there were the nominations of
E. ID. Clarke, of Mississippi for assistant Sec
rotary of the interior, and two navy promo
tions. This causes very long faces among
the office-seeke1s, who expected to see an i'm
portant break in the ranks of the enemy
Their disgust is increased by the report that
the president is preparing a proclamation,
stating that he does not propose to make any
official changes except for special cause.
The National Republican contains an inter
view with POstmaster-General Villas, in which
that gentleman is quoted as having said:
1.-THE programme of the whole cabinet is to
select officials for their worth and value to
the government" and as having said further
that the policy of the administration is to
bear out the civil service rules to the fullest
extent in the management of the various de-
partments. 81 shall enforce the rules here"
said Villas. 1t is understood that it is the in
tention of the president to reduce the clerical
force at the white house and to do away with
the system Of keeping an elaborate record of
all business brought there. In accordance
with this proposed curtailment of the force,
four employees at the executive mansion were
notified that their services would no longer
be required. These are Henry C. Morton of
Ohio, j. S. Bolivay of Ohio, and w. r. Duke,
clerks at 81 800, $3.50 and 81, 400 per annum,
respectively, and o. l.. Judd. telegraph oper-
ator, who receives I,400 a year.
