Why Petitions are No Good.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-This story is told
to explain the very slight weight long lists of
endorsements for appointments to offices
have on the president: Some years ago,
when Mr.. Cleveland was mayor of Buffalo, a
number of his enemies organized a con-
spiracv to oust him. One thing they did
was to draw up petition requesting him to
resign. Knowing how good natuTed busi-
ness men generally are in the matter of sign
ing petitions, and rs they never read them,
they took the petition around to a number of
Cleveland's own friends. Sure enough, they
al put their names down on being asked.
When tie petition came to Mayor Cleveland
he was considerably surprised to find the
names of many of his best friends on the
paper. Nyw, you know that Mr.. Cleveland
is not man TO DO ANYTHING hastily.
He did not jump to the conclu-
sion that his friends had become
disgusted with him. He suspected that
there was some mistake. He sent for some
OF his friends whose names were on the Pc
tition, and then he found that they had been
entirely ignorant of what they were doing
when they signed the paper. This little in
cident Clearly proved to Cleveland that nu-
merousy-signed petitions are of no value,
and that is why the mentioned ones and
those with miles Of names supporting them
are not in favor with this administrator.

usually quiet. Church goers would stop for
moment as they passed along and enquire
after Gen. Grants condition from the police
officers stationed in front of the generals
residence and then proceed to their homes.
passing through the street would order their
drivers to pull up at few doors from
the Grant home, and alighting
would ask what news there was
from the sick chamber, and
lieve DR.. Shrady at 10 minutes of O'Clock,
but the latter did not leave till half past 8
O'Clock, just after issuing reassuring bulle-
tin. He said there
WAS NOTHING TO ADD.
The general was resting comfortably. Shortly
after DR.. Shrady's departure Gen. Horace
Porter and Gen. E. F. Wilson visited
the house. They did not see the patient but
were told by the family that no serious
change was anticipated during the night.
Ex-senator Chaffe came from Gen. Grants
room, after being with the patient for some
time. He said that
HE WAS LOOKING STRONGER.
This he though was merely on the surface and
not rest. Mr.. Chaffee had hopes that Gen.
Grant would live longer than the doctors,
and his family expected day or two ago.
Two members of Union League club, Gen.
Cyrus Bussey and q. s. Grant, nephew of
Gen. Grant, called during the evening.
MIDNIGHT BULLETIN.

WINNIPEG, Man, April 5.-Tidings from
the north indicate a state of affairs there
growing worse. As before telegraphed a
message from Col. Irvine to the government
has come through by courier and conveys
bad, bad news. The supplies are scarce and
unless relief gets through very soon the
mounted police and all Prince Albert people
will be completely at the mercy of the rebels.
Irvine says that reinforcement of 1900 men
arc wanted at Prince Albert Immediately.
He adds that the country people, owing to
threats from the rebels, are leaving their
places and that the Teton Sioux are swarm
ing the country and committing depreda-
tions, while the supplies are becoming short.
The Sioux referred to are led by Chief White
Cap and occupy the reserve near Prince Al
bert. They are refugees from the United
States. Irvine's message was dated March
30. Further word is awaited with great
anxiety. The Hudsons Bay company last
night received the following mes
sage from Fort Qu'Appelle: "We have
just heard from Col. Irvine. He is waiting
for reinforcements. No particular news
from him. The Teton Sioux are committing
some depredations in the Prince Albert dis
trict" The rebels have evidently organized
a provisional government. In addition to
receipts signed by the lieutenant governor
and secretary of the Saskatchewan, ,previousl-
mentioned, the Hudson Bay company holds
others signed by the assistant commissioner
for the provisional government of the Sasy
katchewan. The A and B batteries arrived
at Winnipeg this afternoon, and the whole
detachment, comprising 22S officers and
men, with twenty-seven horses and four
nine-pound guns, went west this evening.
A detachment of the Toronto troops is ex-
pected tonight and more tomorrow after
noon. A dispatch from Fort Qu'Appelle states
that 1S0 teams went towards Touchwood
from that point this morning,
and that the Nineteenth rifles will start
in the same direction tomorrow morning.
The only excitement in Winnipeg to-day
was the soldiers drilling at drill hall and
parading the streets. Col. Osborn Smith is
waiting for uniforms and orders from Gen.
Middleton and will go west soon. 1t is stated
tonight that all the volunteers will get 100
acres of land for going into the service. Col.
Gary of the Grand Union hotel says Riel is
determined to organize a new government,
and is smart and will yet cause more trouble
than was at first anticipated.

The President in n ouandary.
Special to the Globe.


WASHINGTON, April s. The president is
in doubt about the course to be pursued in
reference to the officers nominated during
the extra session of the senate whose nomi-
nations were not acted upon. The president
has signed commissions of all remaining
diplomatic appointees who were confirmed
by the senate, and will promptly issue com
missions TO the officers of all classes whose
names were favorably passed upon. Before
taking any further step he will consult
with the attorney general. He is
unwilling, it is said, to be governed by prece-
dents set by his Republican predecessors
without making an investigation for himself
In cases where vacancies existed there is no
doubt that persons already nominated will be
promptly appointed In cases where the pres
ent incumbents are fixed.or indefinite terms,
his policy is still undecided, and in the alb
sence of charges some of the presidents ad-
visers believe that it is best to allow many of
the present iucumbents to continue in office
till the senate has passed upon the names of
their successors.
The nomination of Appraiser Ketcham's
successor is reported to be one in which OBJ
iections to a recess appointment are most
strongly presented. A decision will proba-
bly, be reached in a few days. 1t is said that
few new appointments will be made until
this point is settled. The president has
stated that he will make no appointments of
auditors during the absence of Secretary
Manning

Foreign Berths Yet Open.


WASHINGTON, April 5-Gentlemen who
are anxious to serve the country in foreign
missions must not despair because their ap-
plications thus far have not been successful.
There are still openings at Brazil with sal
ary of $12,00O,s at the Argentine Republic

There will be no immediate change at
Madrid, because Mr.. Foster is still intrusted
with negotiations in relation to the treaty
recently withdrawn from the senate. The
missions at Pekin, Vienna and Brussels are
held by New Workers, who are more or less
in favor at court.

Minister Phelps Preparing to Depart.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-Mr Phelps, minis
ter to England, has been here for several
days receiving his instructions and getting
ready to 90 to London, Suggestions have
been made to the-state department through
the British minister in regard to the repres-
sion of incendiary speeches and the
publications by dynamiters, and this
formed subject of consultation
between the department and Mr.. Phelps. On
both sides of course the fact is recognized
that in the present state of the law nothing
more can be done than has been done to-
ward preventing the concoction Of dynamite
plots, and public sentiment will not tolerate
anv interference with the freedom of speech
aud press, but Mr. Phelps, as
one of the first lawyers of the coun-
try, will be able TO explain to the
British foreign Offices much better than a
layman can the separation of the federal
from state power and just what the federal
government can't do without intrenching On
the rights of the states. 1t may also be
deemed iudicious as the result Of this con-
sultation and Mr.. Phelps influence in Lon
don to recommend to congress Dext winter
the enactment of laws which, while
not interfering with the freest ex-
preston of opinion, win make it
easier to punish man for any overt act
tending to incite to crime in another coun-
try. such as organization of societies for uu-
lawful purposes or the collection of money
for the purpose of crime. Whether anything
tangible shall result from this conference or
not the dyDamiters are not likely TO get much
sympathy from either Secretary Bayard or
Minister PHELPS.

proac he'd Mrs. Hoyt, the presidents other

W0MAN'S DRESS.

The question of the reform of woman's
dress has again come to the surface 1t is
periodically recurring subject, and the
intervals are all too brief Discussion may
work early reform, but we doubt it. Laws
of life suggest change, but it happens that
IN very few cases in the history of women
Or men either, for the matter of that
have the laws of life and health been con-
served in the matter of dress Human
beings give more attention to appearances
than to such prosy things as concern good
health. The flowing drapery in vogue
with women in their robing will never be
displaced by less cumbrous apparel,
until something equally as graceful and
pleasing to the eve is brought forward as a
substitute. -Four writers in the North
American Review" for July discuss this
subject, but one rises from consideration of
the symposium" not at all convinced by
either essayist that any speedy reform is
likely to be brought about The Cincin-
matt Commercial Gazette asks What ails
women that they cannot dress themselves
Why should this be subject for public
discussion? Men Do not need public jour
nails, and reform associations, and doctors to
teach them how to dress. Why should
women ~ Our contemporary is stupid to
ask such question. 1t knows perfectly
well, or ought to, why it is that women
dress as they do-to win admiration from
men. 1t has been said that the real truth
is, women dress more for the criticism of
their own sex, but we do not be-
? lieye an analysis of the motive
will justify the conclusion The corset
Is worn because without it in the vast ma
.lority of cases the outlines of the form will
not be presented gracefully 1t is either
the corset or abandonment of close fitting
garments The health reforners choose
the latter, and declare in favor of return to
Grecian simplicity But what was posi-
bic for woman in that age, is not practical
bic for her in this. She is one ef the fac
tors in modern activity, and her garb must
be suitable for her new position Grecian
robes would scarcely answer the purpose of
the working worlan of to-day. The ex-
tremists have demanded modified fern of
apparel for women based on the fashions of
garments for men, bus no mas of taste who
ever saw woman in one of these half mas
culine costumes has been able to conceal
from the wearer his disgust, and woman IS
quick to realize this fact. Woman wiz
not consent to sacrifice the graces of her
person TO the demands of homely garb. |
and reformers might just as well settle |
down to this conclusion first as last. Men
make a nearer approach to physiological
requirements for preservation of health, in
the costumes of to-day, than in any period
preceding this, and historical reference
will Justify the statement But on the
other hand woman has not progressed in
the matter of costume in proportionate
degree. Yet it is fact that some progress
has been made. Womans dress is lighter,
better suspended upon the body, and
less cumbrous and weighty to the soft
parts of the body, than in the days
Of our grandmothers. Hygienic reform
demands great deal more progress, Il
