THE ANNEXATION OF BURNAH.
How 1t is Regarded by Leading Eng.
lish Journals.

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
LONDON, Jan. 2.-The annexation Of Burmah
has come at last, and the country on the whole
takes 1t very calmly. The tory papers strongly
approve it, and the liberal papers are mostly on
the fence. The Times says "The country will
not hesitate to sanction this decisive STEP" he
Standard, tory, says: "If anything can be said
by way of reproach, it is that we have waited
too long, The Daily NetOs, liberal, says: ave
have not at present seen any reason to modify
our opinion that it would have been better to
secure the safety and good treatment of the
British subjects in Burmah without perma-
nently adding to our enormous responsibilities
in India" The Spectator, liberal, says: "We
cannot feel exultant, but rather are disposed to
say in all humility, not wholly Christian, God
guard England, for the task surpasses the
energy of man."

THE RECESS APPOINTMENTS.
All Of Them to Go Before the Senate.
REASONS WHICH WILL PROMPT THE PRESIDENT
TO TAKE THIS COURSE.

It is said that the President will not with
hold from the Senate any Of his recess appoint
ments. These appointments, he holds, were
made in good faith, upon what appeared to be
the best recommendations and endorsements,
and If since the appointments have been made
charges have been filed against some of the
appointees, it is the prerogative of the Senate
to look into the matter and reject all who are
not proper persons. There are several reasons
for this. In the first place he holds that It is
for the purpose Of scrutinizing appointments
more carefully than he can have an opportu-
nifty Of doing that the power of confirmation
was vested in the Senate. Again, ne does not
want to be put in the attitude Of having made
appointments during the recess just to give
men temporary places--appointments which
he would not have made had the Senate been
in session. If the appointments are bad he
will make nothing by withholding them from
the Senate, as by so doing he would only pro-
tect the endOrsers upon whose recommended
ton the appointments were made, and as
sumo all the responsibility himself. This he
does not propose to do. II he has made any
mistakes he proposes to let the Senate know
how he was led into them, and to make those
who deceived him bear their share OF the re-
spOnsibility, In cases where charges have
been filed with him since the appointments
were made, it is said, he will call attention to
the fact after sending in their names.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, Jan. 2.-The city is full OF
politicians, drawn together to take q hand in
the work of organizing the two branches of the
general assembly, the republicans having con-
troll of the house and the democrats the senate.
There has been q desperate fight going on for
speakership of the house. and at this hour, one
o'clock, the chances are about even between
ex-Speaker Cargill and Col. Enterkin. For
chief clerk there are not less than six candi-
dates, and affairs are decidedly complicated
for every other position within the gift OF that
body. There is not so much Of a contest going
on for positions in the senate, ii being gener-
ally agreed that the old force is entitled to q
second term.
Both houses will hold causes this afternoon,
but will hardly close their labors before dark.
Probably the first work OF the house next week
will be the unseating of the Hamilton county
delegation. There is no little talk OF the sena-
torship, and while II is true that no republican
can be found who does not claim Mr.. Sher.
mans reelection, there is, I'm some quarters, a
nervous feeling, and there will be q feeling OF
relief when the question is settled.

Lieut.. Greely's Return.
HIS HEALTH GREATLY IMPROVED BY HIS TRIP

Lieut.. Greedy arrived in Washington last
night, having reached New York yesterday
afternoon from Europe. His health, which was
badly shattered by his dreadful arctic suffer-
ings, is greatly improved, and he is now quite
robust. He still suffers some with his back, but
that trouble alone remains of his many all
in Great Britain, and is enthusiastic regarding
the treatment he received there. Wherever he
went he was heartily welcomed and honored.
1t Is doubtful If any American citizen, except
General Grant and Mr.. Seward, has ever been
accorded such universal honor.

pork sausages at supper last Monday. Yester.

which the attending physician pronounces
trichiniasis of the most violent kind. The

chances are against them. There Is great

families partook of the same sausages, but

A Deliberate SUICIDE.
How Richard COOney. OF the Monitor
Fleet, FOrestalled Heart Disease.

Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
PETERSBURG, VA, Jan. 2.-The unusually
quiet village of City Point, about ten miles
from this city, where is anchored the United
States Monitor fleet, was thrown into excite
ment at a late hour last night by the suicide Of
Richard F. Cooney, of the fleet. The suicide
was one of the coolest and most deliberate
ever known in the history OF such crimes,
inasmuch the unfortunate man
was perfectly at the time he
committed the act. Cooney killed himself
by severing both arteries of the wrist with a
razor and then sat quietly down and bled to
death. For some time the deceased has been a
sufferer from heart disease, and the cause he
gave for killing himself was that he had pre-
sentiment that he would die soon and very sud-
denly. COoney was a native Of Brooklyn, \. Y,
and about tOrty years of age.

LONDON, Jan. 2.-In home politics two ru-
mors are being vigorously circulated which
cannot yet confirm or contradict. The first is
that q coalition of the leaders of both parties
will be attempted on the home rule question.
This is very difficult to credit. The second is
more possible, namely, that Lord Randolph
Churchill has succeeded In inducing the gov
eminent to accept home rule scheme of mode

Immediately Introduce this and challenge a
vote OF confidence on 1t, and If beaten will dis

that the moderate liberals very likely would
support more moderate proposals than they
would get from their own leaders, and that the
new members would do almost anything rather
than run the risk of another election in q few
weeks.
