COMMUNICATIONS.
From His Honor the Mayor-Injury to
Edward Cummings
10 the Honorable, the President and Com
mon Council of the City of st. Paul:
l transmit to you herewith report of a
committee of Acker Post, Grand ARMY of
the Republic, OF which Hon. W. w. Braden
was chairman, appointed to investigate in
relation to an injury to their comrade. Ed
ward Cummings, while participating in the
Grand Army parade, Feb. IL, 1886, caused
by horse belonging to Chief John It.
Black of the Fire Department, driven by
Fireman Bowley; further report from
another committee of the said post of
which Hon. NJ. D. Flower was chairman.

post trying to get to his chief and perform
his duty ~ and as we have no funds

Resolution Returned =
To the Honorable, the President and Com
mon Council of the City of st. Paul:
GENTLEMEN: return the within resolu-
ton authorizing san order to be drawn upon
the treasury in favor of Hon. Edmund
Rice, Mayor, for the sum of one thousand
Q,000) dollars. to be used as a contingent
fund in the Mayors office" passed by the
Council at the meeting of the 9th inst.
The Council proceedings does not show
that the Honorable Mayor made requisi-
ton upon the Council for such, nor does it
appear that such is necessary '.for con-
tingent fund to be used in the Mayors
office"
have been informed that the object of
the resolution is to place money in the
Mayors hands for the purchase of firearms,
etc., for the equipment of rifle police
squad. 1t such is the intention, the manner
of purchasing is irregular. J. am confident
that the Honorable Mayor in no manner
wishes to be Durdened with such RESPONSE
bility. particularly when he made no re-
QUESTION upon the Council for such, and as
it is in direct conflict with the statute.

ton this morning under foreclosure OF a
mortgage held by the first mortgage
bondhoiders. ]. Sidney Brown, trustee

that the sale is step in the reorganiza-

Foreign Facts.

DUBLIN, March 1s.-The United Ire
taad, edited by Villa M O'Brien, and
partly owned by Parnell, says that
Gladstone's land and home rule schemes
are so closely knit together and de-
pendent on each other, that neither can
stand alone. In proof of this the UNI
ted Ireland points to the fact that the
landlords of Ireland, whom Glad
stone proposes to buy out, by
the very terms of the appropriation
bill, are made unable to avail them
selves of its enactments until the Irish
legislature is established at Dublin to
administer the bill. Mr.. Chamberlain
told friend that Gladstone's Irish pro-
posals would involve SO complete a
separation that it would be impossible
for the English to give any guarantee to
landlords and that unless the method
was found to greatly reduce the amount
of the proposed payment, he (Cham-
berlain) would not remain in the Cabi
net. Chamberlain conferred long and
earnestly with Trevelyan in the House
of Lords this afternoon, and afterwards
conferred privately with Lord Randolph
Churchill for nearly an hour. The cir
cumstances are much commented upo2
by guild n1lcS in the lobby. Meanwhile,
the tension in the Cabinet continues.
Neither Gladstone nor Chamberlain ap
pears to be disposed to yield.

firm the recent report of the putting to

Mr. Brown then took the floor in OPP
posiiion to the reports of the majority
If the committee. He said it seemed to
him that there was but one single ques-
lion at issue between the President and
the majority of the Senate. That ques-
tiOn vas, had the President, without
the advice and consent of the Sen
ate. the power to remove Fed
ersl officers, when in his opinion
the public interest required such
removal. Mr.. Brown argued at length
10 show that the Constitution conferred
the power of removal on the President
alone. and that as the Constitution was
The supreme law, that settled the queS-
ton, no matter how many acts of Con-
Esss might be passed in violation of it.
Mr. SpoOner took the floor in support
Of the majority report. He said he
would make no attempt to disguise the
let, or apologize for it, that the for
tunes Of the Republican party were very
dear to him. He would not attempt
70 deny that he wished that the party
might here and elsewhere reap every

taken fr)m the plumbers and

we're, Of this administration. Mr..
SpO0ner read from the Presidents
message the clause inviting the Senate
ITO the fullest scrutiny" Of the nomina
tons submitted. Did this, Mr.. Spooner
mean asked. that he was willing to give
the Senate all the information in his pos
session. or did it mean that he should
aake partial presentation? Mr.. Spoo-
IA then took up the question from a
isal point of view. and quoted
19l the Constitution and the
tlare Of Office act to show that
i1.poTer Of removal, as well as of APP
goatment, was in the President and
Stalie. acting together, and that what
vas IN his sole discretion absolute, was
me power of suspension during the re-
cess ofthe Senate. Mr.. Spooner still
having the floor, the Senate went into
executive session and soon adjourned.

A Horrible Story

GREENvILLE, O., March IS. = Cora
Green, pretty 14-year-old girl, who
escaped last Sunday from John MeVey,
a gypsy, and his two female compan-
ions, relates a. horrible story OF her
treatment. She states that she
was kidnapped from her home
near Lebanon, Ind, over a wear
ago, and was compelled to travel about
the country with the gypsies. Money,
she SAYS, shot her in the head, kicked
her; cut her on the body with Ratchet,
beat her with a club. fogg d her
with a buggy whip and outraged
Ter prison. He also drove a nail
through her foot fast .ning her
to board and swung her up to the
wagon bows. Marks of the girls wounds
are still plainly visible. Her par
ents have been communicated
with and they will arrive here
in day or two. McVey and his two
companions decamped as soon as they
learned of the girls escape. A large
number of citizens are hunting them
and If captured, lynching will probably
follow. aitF

No Boon that Science Has Conferred
Has been fraught with greater blessings
than that which has accrued to the in
habitants of malarial ridden portions of
the United States and the Tropics from
the use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
The experience of many years has but
too clearly demonstrated the inefficienev
of quiniLe and other drugs to effectualIi
combat the progress of intermit :
congestive and bilious remittent fevers,
while on the other hand, it has been no
less clearly shown that the use of the
Bitters, medicine congenial to the
frailest constitution, and derived from
pnrely botanic sources. affords reliable
safeguard against malarial disease, and
arrest It when developed. For disorders
of the stomach, liver and bowels, for
general debility and renal inactivity, it
is also most efficient rSmedy. Ap-
petite and sleep are improved by it, it
expels rheumatic humors from the
blood, and enriches a circulation i'm
poyerished by mal-assimilation. T
