Gladstone has task of enormous diff. culty on his hands. In addition to the Irish question, he has to solve the prob lem of how to satisfy the thousands of half starved mechanics in England, who are rendered desperate by lack of em- ployment, caused by the present depres- sion of trade. As will be seen from our telegraphic report, serious riots have all ready broken out in London and the authorities seem undecided how to act.

Excitement in the Senate

WASHINGTON, February 9.-There was great excitement in the senate this afternoon. Senator Sherman took the
 floor and insisted on the right of both the senate and the house, especially of the senate as a body possessing cordinate executive powers to demand the produc. tion of any papers on file with the exc. cutive department relative to suspensions and appointments that have been made by the present administration. He very much surprised the democratic members by reading an act passed in I7So in re. lation to this matter. Section 24o of the revised statutes reads: "The secretary of the treasury shall make any report or give any information to members of either branch of the legislature in person
Daily Tombstone epitaph., 1886-02-10

Judging from our Washington specials, it would seem that the republican sena- tors will refuse to con6rm President Cleveland's appointments, unless satis- factory reasons are given for the removal of their predecessors. This will probably result in creating very bad feeling be- tween the president and senate, it will also defer the confirmation of our terri. torial officers for an indefinite period.
Daily Tombstone epitaph., 1886-02-10
Randall Changes his Mind.

WASHINGTON, February S.-There is a report among protectionists in congress that MT. Randall recently announced to delegation of steel men from Pennsyl- vania that he had changed hls mind on the tariff. They came to have . con- ference with him in regard to protection for the steel interest and were, it is said, greatly surprised when he told them that he had talked with the president, and after listening to his views on tariff, had concluded to change the ideas on high tariff hitherto held by him. He said that the president, after full and free discussion on the tariff, had concluded that the present duties could be very materially reduced without interfering with the wages now received by the workingmen of this country. Mir. Ran- dall thinks that such reduction might be made without harm. Great efforts are being made by railroad companies of the west to secure the admission of steel rails at reduced duty, and hence the Eastern steel men came on to see Mir. Randall, to get his aid. They were sur prised at his answer.
Daily Tombstone epitaph., 1886-02-10

The San Pedro settlers have called a meeting, the purpose of which is to take some definite action in reference to the Tres Alamos land grant fraud. The EPITAPH cautioned the settlers along this valley some tune since, and inti- mated that they should take immediate and decisive action in the matter. Let the people secure all the facts and data in the case and send their disapproval of the fraud to congress in the shape of monstrous petition; show the representa- tives of the people how the approval of the surveyor-general of Arizona was ob. tained by the parties, who are now en- deavoring by their unholy influence to have the action of Wason, the defunct surveyor-geneIa, maintained. Enter a vigorous protest against any action of congress until the rights of the settlers are heard. This gang of cormsrants have fed and thrived upon the honest toll of the settlers of this coast for the past half century; large tracts of land would lie idle for years until some hardy venturesome settler would appear, and, by perseverance, industry and hardships, succeed in making the hitherto barren plains bloom and bud into paradise of beauty and wealth. Then would come the inevitable "grant holder" (principally obtained by fraud) and contest with dis reputable courts and dishones. surveyor generals and, with the sanction thus ob- tained, present their claims to congress for their approval. This Tres Alamos grant is one of the ones enumerated above. The lands lying along the San Pedro Valley were waste and vacant for years. The lands were open for settle. ment, and the present occupants availing themselves of the opportunity thus of fered, made homes for their wives and little ones. It is the same old story, with the change of location the land be- comes valuable (made so by the industry of the settlers) the grabber appears, has his claims favorably reported by the sur veyor-general, who, by the way, is claimed as one of the present owners of the grant, and, with the cheek of gov ernment quartermaster, asks for the ap- proval of congress as final consumation of his nefarious schemes.

The London Riots.

LONDON, Feb. 9.-There has not yet been any renewal of the riot. A further demonstration is considered imminent at the same hour tonight. Three thousand roughs are now in Trafalgar Square. None of the leaders in yesterdays dis. turbance have yet appeared. The West End presents holiday appearance. The shop.keepers are indignant at the lack of protection afforded by the authorities. Any possible number of police that could be summoned would be insufficient to cope with yesterdays force of rioters. Although the leaders are known no ar. rests have as yet been made. The police have received no instructions as to their course of action in case of a renewal of the riot. A most deplorable state of af. fairs prevails in the city.

The "Committee of One Hundred" di,

The "Committee of One Hundred" did not help their cause by publishing that card in the Tombstone last evening. There is nothing to be gained by slurs or inuendo. Joe HoeAer, John Slaughter, in fact the whole array of names SO sneer- ingly referred to, are those of Tomb stones most respected citizens and any reflections thrown upon the standing of these gentlemen in this county will not aid in the cause they seek to advocate.

The Cabinet t stands Firm.

WASHINGTON, February 9.-The mem- bers of the cabinet have been consider ing the nature otthe reply to be; made to the Bland resolution, adopted by the house last Wednesday, calling upon the secretary of the treasury for information relative 10 the reported agreement be- tween the treasury department and the New York Clearinghouse to preserve the gold. standard, and requesting the secretary ts inform the house whether he had made any such agreement, and if so, by what authority of law. At the cabinet conference yesterday it was decided to answer this clause by referring to the views expressed by the president in his message and by Secretary Manning in his annual report, and saying that the secretary had not changed his views re- garding the duty of congress in respect to this matter since these papers were submitted to congress.

Plans for . Blame Boom.

NEW YORK, February 9.--AWashing- ton special says: The Critic. declares that the presence in this city of a Aum- Der of the friends of James C.

It is said that they have agreed that Blaine should remain in the background until the state cam paign in Maine, when he shall take the stump, arraign the administration and start a presidential boom.
