Washington Special: For four weeks
past q most determined struggle has been
going on here for the revocation OF the
April Sd order, and the friends OF the West
have at last succeeded. The last phase OF
the fight began with a memorial drawn up
by Hon. George 8. Ingle of Aberdeen, OAK,
and presented to members of congress
and influential and representative Western
men for their signature. This memorial
was directed to the commissioner. He
delayed action and finally, when it
was apparent that no action could be
expected from the commissioner, Mr.. Inale
and his fellow petitioners carried the
complaint to Secretary Lamar. Then they
went to the president. The latter has
stood by Sparks like a stone wall. On
hearing this last appeal he weakened, and
he is now said to be in favor OF revoking
the order. Secretary Lamar is al
so of his mind. His assistant serre-
tary, jerks, has all along been OF
the opinion that the order was a mistake
in the first place. Mr.. jerks prepared an
order, which the secretary signed, calling
on the commissioner for reasons why the
m~emorialists should not be listened to and
their prayers granted.

London dispatch: The trial OF the di-
vorce case Of Donald Crawford against his
wife, in which Sir Charles Dixie is core
spondent took place on the 18th. Great
interest is felt in the case, and the court
room was crowded when it al called. Sir
Charles Dixie arrived early and took his
seat in the court room without be
ing recognized by most OF the
people in attendance. Mr.. Chamberlain,
president OF the local government board,
and many gentlemen prominent in Official
and social life were present. The case be-
ing announced, the petitioners counsel
stated:
The first intimation his client had OF his
wiie's unfa~ithfulness was IN the receipts OF
several onym letters, the writer OF
which warned Mr.. Crawford to beware OF
.'the member for Chelsea" (Sir Charles
Dilke). Mr.. Crawford thereupon made
an investigation into his wife's habits,
and found that she bad been corresponding
with one Capt. Foster. This Qtfepsehs he'd
condoned. Receiving further anonymous
letters, Mr.. Crawford taxed his wife with
infidelity. She admitted her guilt and made
a full confession. She said she had slept
two nights in the same bed with Sir Charles
Dixie. His attentions to her, she said, COM
lit ulES'tLlI z hAdIIldkCs Il
profesc:3 Co admire her because of her re-
semblance to her mother. The wife OF the
petitioner had attributed the anonymous
letters to the vindictiyeness OF her
SsSn,,',er, The petitioners case rest
81 s6.ly on his wife's confession.
Tbs servants 81 Mr.. Crawford's house
hold would Sf2s evidence showing
that their mistress had boen absent from
homo ON the nights she said she had sleps
with Sir Charles Dixie.
The petitioner, Mr.. Crawford, was called
to the witness stand, and gave testimony
supporting the statement Of his counsel.
Mr.. Crawford said:
He was startled by his wife asking him
whether he would forgive her il she had
been uniaithful TO him. His wife's sister
had been shown the anonymous letters,
and had agreed that they were in the hand
writing of their mother. In her confession
to him witness said Mrs. Crawford had con-
iessed to improper intimacy with Sir
Charles Dixie.
Counsel for the petitioner submitted the
evidence against Mrs. Crawford, but sub
mittnd none against Sir Charles Dixie. The
court granted Mr.. Crawford a divorce from
hts wife, and dismissed the charges against
Sir Charles Dixie.
The consensus OF opinion is that the filthy
revelations made in the trial, and the fail
IRE to attempt either to deny or disprcve
the charges against him have practically ru-
med Sir Charles. Although he escaped under
technical plea that Mrs. Crawford's unsworn
confession was insufficient evidence, the
whole tenor OF the trial has produced a
profound and universal conviction o.
bikes guilt. That part OF Mrs. Craw
ford's confession describing the depth o
~debanchery between Dixie and her is unit
for publication. The trial has caused 9
painful impression throughout the country
in regard to the state of society morals.
