SAN Francisco, Jan. l9.-There is no
change in the senatorial prospects at Sac
ramento. The Republicans hold the
first caucus tomorrow evening. No one
believes it will result in a choice There is
only one point on which all seem to be
agreed and that is that after the prelim-
mary formalities Of placing Sargent, Per
kins and Others in caucus nomination
the Republicans will formally tender
the nomination to Stanford. Should the
latter not receive the nomination surprise
both in and out of the legislature will be
greater than if he does. The vote on
Joint ballot takes place on the 9th.

War Preparations.

LONDON, Jan, l9.-The excitement
caused yesterday by the unusual occur
renee Of a council at the war office Sunday
was greatly increased to-day by the report
that the government decided to resist any
attempt on the part of Turkey to occupy
any portion of Egypt or land troops in
that country. There was considerable
hustle and excitement at the war Office to-
day. Orders have been sent to Chatham,
Portsmouth and Woolwich which caused
much activity at those great naval sta
tons. Another battalion of troops at
Malta has been ordered to embark at
once on the steamship Poonah for Alex
andria. Other troops are under orders to
be in readiness to move at a moment
notice. Indications all point to stirring
events in Egypt. There is no doubt that
the ministry is determined not to allow
Turkey to interfere in Egyptian affairs by
placing an armed force in any part o.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 19.-Dispatches from
Texas continue to report great loss of cat
tie and sheep by the late cold weather in
various parts. On many ranges in the
northern and western part of the state
great numbers of cattle have drifted
southwark till stopped by wire fencing
running many miles east and west and are
now dying by hundreds and even thou
sands fromhunger, thirst and cold. The
loss is chiefly on the ranges which had
suffered from drouth, both grass and
water being scarce and cattle in poor CON
dition, but even in more favored parts Of
the state a great mount Of stock has al
ready been lost by the unusual severity OF
the weather. The estimate is that 10 pei
cent Of the cattle and 20 per cent of the
sheep have persisted.

morning on the south bound passenger
train on the International 4 Great North
ern railroad which reached Overton at

No Bail for Clawson.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1e.-The supreme
court has rendered decision in the polyga-
my case of Rudger Clawson, appellant VS..
Uuited States, appealed from the Supreme
Court of Utah. Clawson appellant, hav-
ing been found guilty by a jury Of the
crime of polygamy and unlawful cohabi-
%tation, was duly sentenced to pay a fine
aggregating $500 and to an imprisonment
Of four years. He appealed to the su-
preme court of the territory and pending
judgment on such appeal applied to the
court that sentenced him for release upon
suitable bail. The Judge denied the APP
plication OF the ground that the defendant
ought not to be admitted to bail after con-
viction and sentence unless some extraor-
binary reason had been given. Clawson
thereupon sued out a writ of hebeas cor
pus in the supreme court of the territory
and prayed for release upon the ground
that the court below had unlawfully re-
fused to admit him to bail. The supreme
court refused to admit him to bail. The
supreme court overruled the petition and
remanded the prisoner to the custody of
the marshal, whereupon he took the pres
ent appeal to this court. This court holds
that inasmuch as the judgment of the
third judicial court in which the prisoner
was tried did not impose upon him a fine
only, but also Imprisonment his admission
to bail pending the appeal from that
judgment is distinctly committed by the
laws of Utah to the discretion of the
court or judge to whom the application
for bail may be made. The Supreme
Court of Utah was therefore, right in
overruling the petition and remanding the
prisoner to the custody of the marshal
and its Judgment is affirmed.

Providence, N. j., Jan. l9.-At 2
o'clock Saturday afternoon a bold attempt
at robbery was made at the office of the
Grant mill, on Carpenter street, this city,
owned by G. B. & r. Knight Two men
presented pistols at the head of Edward
Burlingame. book keeper, and demanded
81, 700 just received by him to pay help.
Burlingame refused to surrender the
money. The robbers evidently expected
a confederate, who, however, did not APP
pear, and as there was another person in
the room with Burlingame the robbers
ran away.

High FLYER.

BEDFORD, Mass, Jan. 19.-Within
the past year it seems Chadwick, cashier
Of the Pacific National Bank, of Nam
tucket, began the erection at Squam, ola
house of gigantic proportions and SPLEEN
did equipment far beyond his supposed
ability to own. Some supposed he was
only the agent of a wealthy gentleman.
The land on which it stands belonged to
his father and mother as joint tenants.
He also made extensive Improvements
about his residence in town. He made
good 5000 by the aid Of friends, who
probably did not know there was irregu-
larity in his accounts. His resignation
became known to the public on Wednes-
day morning. He appears to have been
a borrower of money to a considerable
amount, by some estimated at $4,000.
He left deeds and real estate with the
widow as security, and to more practical
business men, he gave certificates of
stock of the Pacific National bank, the
president having signed them in blank.
He had only to fill them out and sign
them himself. Quite a number of ccrtii-
Gates of shares of stock were issued by
himself. and were found in the possession
of parties who loaned him money, but
whom he had persuaded not to have them
transferred upon the books of the bank.
Chadwick has manifested willingness to
turn mis- property oven to his creditors.
His entire real estate is mortgaged and
several attachments have been recorded.
No criminal proceedings have yet been
commenced. No greater connection has
been created in Nantucket since the fail
ure of the Manufacturers and Mechanics
bank in 1876.

Two Admirable Addresses.

This commencement week at Colby Uni
versity in Waterville, Me-, has been distin-
guished by two addresses of unusual excel
lence. Colonel Zimro A. Smith, of the Bos-
ton Journal, delivered an address commem-
orative of the character of ex-Gov. Abner
Coburn, one of the foremost benefactors of
the university and man well worthy of
eulogy on account of his singular ability, his
noble character, his honorable public SER
vices and his wise iberality in the cause of
education. Colonel Smiths address was
neutrality-suspicious. of both the faetssand
the lessons of career which is''exemplary
Of the virtues and the successes possible un-
der such institutions as are the heritage of
all New Englanders. On the evening Of the
same day the Hon. Thomas B. Reed of Port
land delivered an Grafton before the literary
societies of the college upon the forces of
progress. 1t was an Grafton of high order.
fit to rank with the best that have been pro-
nounced on any similar occasion this year or
Tor many years. To those who know Mr..
Reed only as a keen debater and hard fighter
in the contests on the floor of the House of
Representatives, or as a speaker in political
campaigns, this address is revelation of I'M
expe cted qualities. Its elevation of thought.
its scholarly richness and felicity, the scope
of its reasoning, the force. of its conclusions,
the compactness, vigor, raciness and elo-
quence of its style, place him at once among
our best orators. 1t is to be remarked that
the line of his thought is similar to that fol-
lowed by Mr.. Hale in his Grafton at Brown
University, the supremacy and directing in
iuence of the people in all advances IT is
an address which should have a wide audi
ence, and will be certain to delight as well
as stimulate, all thoughtful minds Boston

In and OUT of Ansersonvi,,a.

Tonight Rev. Mr.. Smith will deliver his
free lecture at Chestnut street church on
I'm and out of Andersonville." Mr. r. C.
Morse, secretary of the International Y NJ.
c. A. says of the lecture: 81 had heard so
much in praise of Mr.. Frank w. Smith s
lecture upon I'm and Out Of Andersonyille, -
that expected to listen to something extra
ordinary in the way of both entertainment
and instruction. My expectation was much
more than realized. Mr.. Smith has the rare
power of drawing life-like pictures not only
by word of mouth from the platform, but
also by stroke of hand upon the blackboard.
His style is simple, straightforward and
graphic. The story he tells is full of pa
thetic and humorous incident, happily blend
ed in excellent taste. The tone of the lecture
from beginning to end is wholesome, Christ
ian and instructive, as well as spicy, amusing
and entertaining 1t has the genuine ring Of
true man in it. l am only one of great
multitude who have not only enjoyed it them
selves, but who heartily desire and hope that
the yet greater multitude who have not
heard it may soon enjoy the great pleasure
and advantage to be derived from it.

From Down East.

Two little Dowinian stories come from
Portland. Half dozen men present them
selves at the open door of a hotel room where
in drummer is changing his collar Were
dry and would like to use your room for a
moment or two, if you've no objections. 81
don't object" said the commercial traveller,
remembering how it feels to have parched
throat. After spell of dampness, during
which the drummer continued his attentions
to his toilet the refreshed visitors withdrew.
The boy and the tray did not go, however,
and refused to until them drinks" were paid
for. 1t took only seventy cents to fix the
matter. At another hotel gallant colonel
and an eminent judge took it into their heads
to lubricate while sitting in their room. The
bell boy came and was despatched for two
apollinaris lemonades. "We don't keep no
temperance drinks here" the youth told
them ON returning from down Stairs. IF
you want any whiskey or ale, I'll get it for
you.' The gentlemen had too much rever-
ence for the Constitution and its amendments
to take the hint.-TBOSton Globe

1t is generally understood in the city of

Mr. Albion G. Bradstreet formerly chief
engineer Of the Tehuantepec railroad, and
at one time connected with the Eastern and

possible successor. Mr.. Bradstreet is favor
ably known in Mexico, and has had legal
training and an extensive acquaintance with

very serious turn. Until the night before
last, Mr.. Sanborn was improving steadily.
Then, however, the Inflammation began to

change fer the worse is looked for during the
next two days at least, and there may be an
improvement in Mr.. Sanborn's condition at

The Western promenade.

To the Editor Of the Press:
The writer would respectfully call the
attention of the proper authorities to the
condition of the Western Promenade.
The trees are surrounded by very cheap
and poorly arranged guards, which con-
stantly chafe them and are fast killing them
off. Many trees are already dead and others
are ready to die, being badly chafed. The
grass and shrubs on ornamental plats have
had no attention this year, and are in a
shabby condition, as is the grass on all
parts of the grounds. 1t seems pity that
this beautiful spot which is constantly used
as resort by thousands Of our citizens and
is visited by nearly all strangers should not
be kept in better condition
made to do this very work. Why not use it
