Esquimaux who demanded food from the
stores at MugfOrd, which could not be given

for :he harbor storehouse where the flour and
fish were stored. A desperate fight ensued, in
which four of the EsquimauX We're nearly
killed and two OF the storehouse defenders
were seriously injured. The EsquimauX re-
treated and sent to ask for a small quantity of
food for their wives and children. Two hun
dred pounds OF flour and about fifty pounds of
frozen cod were gwen them. 1t was reported
that In Astoria alone out ot thirty-five or forty
families, or a total of 300 persons, over 100
had died. In Main, had il not been for the seal

LONDON, July 26-The political surface Is
unruff1ed here, but the depths are tremendously
stirred. No public announcement is yet made,
but in tory cabinet circles there is a very lively
time. The new gang Is making desperate
efforts once more TO get rid OF the old gang. I
have seen proposed government drawn up by
the former from which Cross, Smith. Manners,
the Duke of Richmond. and Lord Narrowly are
excluded, and such young men, hitherto un-
known or at any rate not prominent. as Mac
Lean Broderick, Harris, and Jennings are given
posts. Chaplin and Worms will both hold cabi-
net positions. Balfour i'm any event is sure OF a
Scotch office. Edward Clark will be solicitor
general. 1t is rumored that the enormous job
of dismissing Haisburg from the lord chancel-
lorship with 5000 year. in order to make

long since AS in 1883 John Morley suggested as

CHURCHILLs PREPosTERoUs DEMANDS.
But the most startling news, and have rea-
son to believe the truest also, concerns the att-
tude of Lord Randolph Churchill. He has re-
turned from Norway, aud called by appoint
ment on Lord Salisbury and calmly informed
him that unless he received the position OF sec
retary for foreign affairs, with the leadership
In the commons, he should, i'm his elegant
phrase, Check il all up" and return to Nor
way. The excitement that this preposterous
claim caused in political circles may be imag-
ined. Lord Salisbury's difficulties, however
are so great il is by no means impossible that
Cnurchlll viii carry his point. More serious
conservatives desire TO see Lord Cranbrook at
the foreign office My information about VOL
sely succeeding Prince Edward OF Saxe-weim-
era commander OF the forces i'm Ireland appears
TO be confirmed. The young gang nominate
Lord Dunraven as viceroy with SJanhope for
chief secretary.

HancOck's Love for the Army.

A Washington correspondent says:--
Many very pretty incidents are told Of
General Hancock. One of them is worth
repeating. When he received the nomi-
nation for the presidency several of his
most devoted friends held a conference
and decided that it would add enthu
siasm to the campaign if General Han.
cock were to resign his office in the army
and come before the nation solely rs a
candidate. One of their number, he
who tells the story, vent to see the
general at Governors Island. He found
the soldier in his office and was warmly
welcomed. But when the visitor
preached the subject of his cali Hancock
said, thoughtfully and with on earnest
ness that was pathetic:
emo; I will not leave the army. My
whole life has been given to it. l would
be miserable were I to resign. AS / live
here in my quarters and hear 'reveille'
and taps I am perfectly happy hap
pier than I should be as a president of
tho United States. No; say that l can
no leave the army. I'd like to be presi-
dent, of course; l suppose any man
would: but I will not take the risk of
sundering all the associations Of my life
for the sake of such u chance.'
