THREATENED FEUD AvER1ED.

DIPLOMATIC SETTLEMENT OF THE DISAGREEMENT
BETWEEN BLACK AND MINISTER PHELPS
WASHINGTON Feb. lSpecial).-lt Is gratifying
TO be able to report that threatened feud between
two Democratic officials has at last been happily
and automatically settled. In the wonderful an
nual report last issued by the Physical Wreck,
which appears to have been compiled after the
juvenile Peter Farley system he discourscs as
follows:
On the 1871 day of March, 1887, mailed requests
through the Department Of State TO our various MIL
inters and COnsus General accredited TO the courts
OF Great Britain France the German Empire. Russia,
Turkey Italy, China, and Spain, requesting that they
obtain and forward TO the fullest possible STATE
relating 10 the pension laws. and administration
thereof, of the various countries TO which they were
been paid to the requests in every Instance save in
the one addressed to the Minister at the Cont OF ST.
James.
From the rcgrctful but severe rcprOof which
Black thus publicly administered to Minister
Phelps IL was made very obvious that although
the latter might be welcome representative at
the Court of st. James, he was by no means "a
persona grata to the distinguished pensioner VINO
signed the report in question. But Black iur-
ther punished the recalcitrant plenipotentlaIy
by emitting all mention of the English pension
scheme in most crushing manner, whereas ne
might readily have obtained it, without the trouble
of " translatng" from any English Blue Book OF
even from that cyclopedia" which is so dear to
the Democratic heart. IL is said that Black
great friends, voorhees, and Joe" Blackburn;
had haunting fears of Minister Ihelpss recall ana
diplomatic rupture between England ana tlle
happily averted. as Mr. Phelps has since sent
the information called for, with the eXplanau99n
that the passag &c Of a new pension law pV the
