MISS MADIsoN,s DEATH.
Report That Important Evidence
HRs Reem Discovered.

dispatch from Richmond says that for
the past two days the officers have been
working increasingly in the case of the
murder of Fannie Lillian Madison. They
claim to have discovered in the past
twenty -four hours evidence Of the highest
importance. Since this information has
come in their possession the officers express
confidence in their ability to convict
Thomas j. Cluverlus of Miss Madison's s
murder. They decline most positively,
however, to indicate the character of this
recently discovered testimony. An old
man arrested in King and Queen County
last Wednesday, who was suspected of be-
ing the old man who was present in the
parlor of the American Hotel on the night
of the murder while Miss Madison and
CluveTius were in the room, was brought to
the city yesterday. The porter declared he
was not the man, and he was discharged.

How the Election Affected u. y

One of the regulations of the Department
Of Justice is that all United States mar
shals shall render weekly account Of all
the Government money in their possession
with statement of where 1t is deposited.
1t was for many years difficult matter to
enforce this regulation. The marshals in a
desultory sort Of way, made a pretense
of rendering the required statement, but
there were at all times twenty or thirty
marshals who were dcrelict in this particu-
lar. That is,,they were derelict in the mat

that Democrat had been elected Presi.

very prompt, with ono exception, in rem
dering an account of Government bonds in
their possession. Marshal Hughes Of Nir-

render accounts, because he was short oil

The belief that the Central American
difficulties die out with the death of Bar
lios is not shared in diplomatic circles.
Barrios' followers are said to be bolder
and worse men than himself, and the
aspirations and ambitions which he has
kindled have fired his supporters aud
chosen counselors to efforts as bold as his
own.
There is much apprehension among the
representatives of the States most directly
interested. While there is little fear that
the United States will have to interfere,
there is well-defned impression that
Mexico will be likely to take q hand.

Russia, England and Diplomacy.

Russia, England and Dip lOmacy.
1t may be that the strong predictions Of
conflict between Russia and England may
simmer down to negotiations" as similar
predictions q few weeks ago did. But the
talk Of war this time is mu ch more posi-
tive and the war feeling in both countries
much moro than a mere ebullition Of in
dignation. 1t looks as il war could not be
avoided. England regards Russia's fight
with the Afghan troops as a cdsiN JeH,
the cableinforms us, and a speedy decla-
ration of war Is demanded of the Gladstone
Government.
But we see signs of moro negotiations
and diplomacy. The Russian officers say
that they knew nothing of the pending
agreement between Russia aud England that
there should be no advance on either side
while the boundary question was being
considered. The English naturally charge
the Russian Government with duplicity in
keeping its officers uninformed on this sub
| iect. And again, the Russian officers claim
| that the Afghan forces advanced upon them
and made the fight inevitable.
But the English officers who witnessed
the battle say that the Russians, by ad.
vancing their picket lines ondeavored to
force the Afghans to commence the fight
ing, but that such ruses having failed, the
Russians struck the first blow. of course
somebody is lying. There are, too, more
evidences of bad faith. When the negotia-
tions about the boundary were entered into
it was understood that while they were in
| progress nothing should DO done by either
side
| But something was done. Russia took
advantage Of the delay to throw her troops
| further towards Herat, the main strategic
| point Of the frontier. 1t may be that she
| agreed to the negotiations only that she
might the more favorably dispose of and
| idle either. Lord Dufferin and Sir Peter
Lumsden, to use colloquial phrase, were
| in the meantime monkeying with the
| Ameer of Afghanistsn. By shows and
| presents the Ameer has been made strong
ally of England, while the British ennis
saries have stirred up among his people q
very bitter anti Russian feeling.
1t is all nice pot of diplomacy" which
some one has aptly characterized as a
mastery of the art OF lying. 1t is evident
that the House Of Commons thinks that
lying has been and is being indulgod in
Mr.. Gladstone in the House last night au-
nounced that NJ. De Giers, the Russian
Prime Minister, had expressed for himself
and for the Gar an earnest hope that the
fight, which he called IAN unhappy Incl
dent" might not prevent tho continuation
of negotiations for peace. This announce
ment we arc told, was greeted with derisive
cheers.
The only question now seems to be how
long diplomacy will continue before fight
ing is commenced. For the past fifty years
England has been convinced that sooner
or later she would have to resist by force
of arms Russia's desire to plumber her of q
portion, if not all, Of India. The feeling
that she might fight it out now as well as
at any other time is very strong one, aud
has but little Of the Jingoe in it.

A BIT OF HISTORY.
Births, Marriages and Deaths in
the White House.

One of Thomas Jeilerson's grand
children was born in the White
House, one of Tylers and three of
Andrew Jackson's. There were the
children of Andrew Jackson Dom
aldson, the nephew and adopted son
of Jackson. Gen.Grant's granddaugh-
ter, Col. Fred Grants daughter, was
born in the White House, Gen. w.
II. Harrison, Gen. Zachary Taylor
and Abraham Lincoln were buried
from there. Garfield was buried
from the rotunja of the Capital. One
of President Lincolu's children died
in the White House. So did Mrs.
Grants father. Col. Fred Dent. There
have been more marriages than
deaths in the White House. The
first marriage was that of Miss Todd,
niece of Mrs. Madison, in 1910, the
groom being Virginia Congress-
man, John G. jackson. The next
marriage had for its contracting par
ties the daughter of Pres. Monroe
and Mr.. Gouverneur, of New York.
John Adams, the son Of John Quincy
Adams, married his cousin, Miss Kel-
ley, in the White House in 1926. The
feast, it is said lasted an entire week.
Next came the wedding of Mr.. Pan
quet and Miss Lewis, which was soon
followed by the marriage of Miss
Tyler and Mr.. Waller, both of Vir-
ginia. The last wedding in the
White House was that of Miss Nellie
Grant and Mr.. Algernon Sartoris.
Pres. Tyler proposed to his second
wife, Miss Gardner, in the White
House. The records show but three
christening in the White House
Mrs. Wilcox, about 80 years ago !;
that of Julia, the daughter of Col.
Fred Grant, and the youngest daugh-
ter of Pres. Hayes. In Grants term
there was a wedding, birth, a chris
tening and a death in the White
House.

Some of these have been among our most wicked, but by the power of God they have been turned and all classes are rejoicing at it. A great work is going on in our midst ---may it go on until hundreds more shall sec the error of their way, and like the Prodiga. return to their Fathers house.
