Ihe President at RoekIedoe.

RoCKLEDGE, FLA, February 24.-The
Presidents party left TitusviIle at s
o'clock this morning. The weather was
perfect, air was invigorating, without
being too sharp, and there was just
enough breeze from the sea. Indian
River, therefore, appeared at it's best.
A landing was made at the fine grove
and residence of Capt. g. S. Hardee, and
the Presidential party after spending
about an hour there, walked half mile
into Rockledge village. The party will
leave here at neon for the return trip,
and will lunch at the Hotel Indian
River.

JACKSONVILLE, February "a. = The
United States Court convened at 10 a. m.
to-day, Judge Settle, presiding. The
libel case of E. III. Lewis and Mrs. Cal
vano against the Netcs- Herald Publish
ing Company, each claiming 100000
damages, set down for trial to-day, was
called. Col. A. w. Cockrell, counsel for
the defendants, was present and ready,
but Col. II. Bisbee, attorney for the
plaintiffs, was not. He was sick and lin-
able to be present, and sent a request for
further continuance of the case. Col.
Cockreil consented, and continuance
was granted until Monday next.
Mr.. Stanley Fletcher, managing editor
of the Ne1rS-Herdid, has rendered his res
ignation to the board of directors Mr.
Fletcher has been connected with the
above newspaper for about two months.
About two weeks ago he was taken sick,
and this is perhaps what has superin-
duced his desire to retire and return to
New York. Mr.. +. w. Hawthorne, who
rendered such efficient service during
the illness of Mr.. Fletcher, as managing
editor, will, it is thought, continue in
that position for the present.
Deputy Sheriff, Ed. Williams, this
morning delivered into the hands of the
guard Leander S. Riggs and Washington
Mcdowell, two white male lunatics, and
the were taken to the State Insane Asy-
lum.
A special from Titusville, at $50, says
the Presidential party has just returned

French Government has prohibited the
importation into France of American

Facts in Regard TO Thosesin the Far EOrth-Their
DeplorabIe Condition.

DeporabIe Condition.
ST. PAUL, February 24.-An Edmon-
ton correspondent of the Pioneer Press
gives facts in regard TO the reports of
the Indians in the far North. He says
the failure of crops and scarcity of game
has left the Indians solely dependent ON
the Indian Department for food. The
Government supplies have failed to come,
and the consequence is most deplorable.
All the stock of fish they had froze in
the early part of the winter was spoiled
by the mild weather in January. The
chiefs of the White Fish Lake and other
tribes have become demonstrative, and
threaten the Government officials with
retaliation unless food is given them.
The agent of Saddle Lake came down to
Edmonton and refused TO return without
food, being afraid for his life. The cor
respondent accuses the Indian Depart
ment of criminal negligence, and says
if the Indians are not looked after the
consequences may be disastrous.

LIBERALS DEFEATED.
The IIbersi-Unionists Score a victory In Liberal
Stronghold.


LONDON, February 24.-The Parlia-
mentary election in the Doncaster divis-
ion of the West Riding of Yorkshire, to
fill the vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Walter S. Shirley, Liberal,
was held to-day, and resulted in VIC
tory for the Liberal Unionists, their cam
didate, Hon. w. III. Fitzwilliam, receiv-
ing 5,634 votes against 3,423 for Mr..
Spencer Balfour, Gladstonian candidate.
In the previous election the vote of Mr..
Shirley, Liberal, was 5000; Hon. w. Fl.
Fitzwilliam, Liberal Unionist, 1872. TIE
victory was a complete surprise. 1t is
certain that it was brought around by
the landed influence of Mr.. Fitzwilliam,
coupled with the fact that the Liberals
will not contest the election in Hemp
stead, where a vacancy exists by reason
of the elevation of Sir Henry Holland.
Colonial Secretary, to the peerage. The
result of the election in Doncaster rem
ders the Liberal Unionists very jubilant.

THE LATE CHIEF JUSTICE.
Tribute rendered by the Bar of the
U. S. Supreme Court.

Tribute TIE endered by the Bar of the
U. S. Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, March 31.-About fifty
members of the bar of the Supreme
Court assembled in the court room at
IL o'clock to-day to make formal ex-
preston of their respect for the late
Chief Justice.
Senator Edwards was called to the
chair, and Clerk McKenny, of the Su-
preme Court, named secretary. Attor-
ney General Garland offered the fol-
lowing resolutions:
1.-THE Chief Justice of the United
States has ended his career on earth.
He proved himself equal to the duties
which the title of his office imports. 1t
is fitting that the bar of the court over
which he presided so satisfactorily
should express their sense of the ca
lamity that has visited the court, the
bar in general and the whole country.
| Therefore, be it
"Resolved, First, that the bar of the
Supreme Court of the United States
recognize in the late Chief Justice a
combination of qualities which pecu-
liarly fitted him for the difficult and
delicate duties of president of great
court; that his ability as a Judge, his
strong sense of justice and his firm but
mild administration contributed to the
public feeling of security and conf
dence that has made the Supreme
Court the balance wheel of the consti-
tuition; that they are grateful for the
legacy of his noble and unsullied
character, adorned by the traits that
endeared him to all who came in con-
tact with him; that he was a type of
the highest product of our free institu-
tions, always maintaining his official
and personal dignity, yet always mind
full that no one was too humble for his
attention and regard; and that they
will remember him as one who was an
honor to his country and to the whole
brotherhood of men.
"Second-That we tender to the
family of the deceased our heartfelt
sympathy.
"Third-That the Secretary is hereby
requested to furnish the Attorney Gen.
eral of the United States with copy Of
these proceedings with the request tt
present the same to the Supreme Cour
of the United States for such actor
thereon as the court may deem proper
"Fourth-That the Secretary is here
by requested to transmit an engrosseG
copy of these proceedings to the famil!
of the deceased"

Freaks of fsleep-walking Girls.


A young lady of Atchison, Kan,
arose from ned in a, sound sleep the
other night, and in scanty attire walked
some miles To a cemetery where friend
had been buried. When she awoke,
she was lying on the ynung mans
grave, and she was so frightened that
she jumped the fence and ran to a farm
house in the vicinity. The farmer
hitched up team and took the young
woman to her home.
Miss Nellie Bogart, who resides in
West Nineteenth street, New York
City, arose in her sleep a few nights
ago, and proceeded to the house Of
John Mandizo, in Jersey City, where
she was known, reaching there between
8 and 4o'clock in the morning and
ringing the bell. When Mr.. Mandizo
opened the door she fell In swoon in
to his arms. The young woman has
been unconscious ever since. She was
found attired only In her night dress,
with gossaIner waterproof thrown
over it, She wore shoes, but no stock
ings, and on her head was small
WOODEN hood. Her unconscious walk
included long journey through q
great city, q trip across the river on o
ferry boat and q tramp through another
