Mr.. Edmunds's resolution in relation to
the Panama Canal has now been adopted by
both branches of Congress. 1t is in
substance a notification to France
that the assumption of the De
Lesseps enterprise, either directly or indi
rectly by the French government would be
regarded by the United States as an un-
friendly act. This action has been taken
none too soon, for the stockholders of the
collaped enterprise are besieging the French
government to guarantee the loans needed
for the completion Of the canal OF course
If the government becomes interested in the
enterprise in this way and to this extent soop.
er or later 1t win seek to control it, and that
will necessltate the establishing of its
power in the lsthmus of Panama. The
United States cannot afford to permit France
to do that, and the time to notify her Of our
objections is now. before she has taken any
steps In that direction

cLEvELANp's CABINET.
What win Probably Become of Its
Members.

washington Correspondence N. Y. Tribunel
While great interest, of course, centers
upon the cabinet which General Harrison is
likely to appoint, there is no less interest
manifested in the question as to what will
become OF the members of Mr.. Cleveland's
official family. Mr.. Bayard is likely to be
relegated to private life for some years.
When his successor. Mr.. Gray, was elected
to the senate 1t was well understood that he
would resign his seat whenever Mr.. Bayard
should desire to re-enter upon legislative
career. The election, however, of Republi-
can legislature in the the State Of Delaware
has somewhat complicated matters, and
while it is not to be doubted that Mr.. Gray's
loyalty to his chief and patron would prompt
him to put his seat at the disposal of the lat
ter, 1t is obvious that he can. under present
circumstances, not resign without increasing
the Republican majority in the Senate. Mr..
Bayard, though not man of means. has
probably enough to live on without seeking
ONCE for the sake of the salary attached to
1t, His law practice never amounted to
mncn IN fact, don't think that he ever had
case before the supreme court, but he will
no doubt be able to add to his income by
practising IN the local courts of Delaware,

tary OF State, nor without precedent.

shire avenue, near Dupont Circle, for which,

that ne may hereafter select Washington as
place OF residence for the winter. He is a
man OF considerable means and altogether
independent of office.
Secretary Whitney will return to New
YORK, and probably sell his house here. as he
mas already sold his country seat. Grass

deal OF property in Lenox, Mass, where he
has been spending his summers of late and
MS lie OF leisure, which he can afford to lead

Boulanger's favor, but recent events in this
country have very much shaken confidence
In the Judgment of betting men. Boulanger's
success will be cause for profound regret in
heart Of every sincere friend of the French

Rhode Islands License Bill.

PROVIDENCE, R, l., July 25-The State Senate has passed the License bill from the House with several amendments, chiefly representing the difference of opinion be- tween the Republican Senate and the Dem- ocratic House. A clause prohibiting the keeping of a saloon within 400 feet of any school-house was inserted, as were also clauses vesting the power of appointing license commissioners in the Boards of Aldermen instead of the Mayors and pro- viding that one-half of the license fees shall go to the State. The retail license fee was made $500 instead of S4OO for Provi- denoe and $4O0 for all other cities and towns. A license fee of $25 is imposed on druggists. A hot fight in the House on the amendments is anticipated.

 LAKEWOOD, N. J., July 25.-The surprise Iprung by Prosecutor Stevens in the Stev- Gns murder case is still the one topic of talk at Toms River. Stevens was indicted at the April term tor the murder of Hugh H. Hance on the night of February 12, in the hotel of Henry P. Hendrickson at Point Pleasant. Hendrickson, who was arrested with Stevens, escaped indictment for mur- der, but received aD eighteen months sen tence in State Prison for keeping dis orderly house. After serving six months of his sentence he was pardoned to the sur- prise of the residents of the county
 Hendrickson was, however, yesterday morning again arrested at Toms River, and this time charged with the murder of Hance. He went there on subpoena In the Stevens case, and so quietly was the arrest made by Constable Hagerman that only the prosecutor and counsel for Stevens knew of it. When the prosecutor made the an- nouncement in court that he was not pre- pared to proceed with the trial of Stevens be asked that the prisoner be released be- cause he had information that the murder ous blow was struck by another man.
 A few days ago Prosecutor Middleton learned that John Patterson of Manasquan knew something of the assault upon Hance. Patterson admitted to the prosecutor that he had entered Hendrickson's Hotel on the night of February 12; that he saw Hance aud Hsndrickson quarreling, and that Hen- drickson reached over the bar and dealt Hance 8 blow with bottle, which felled him to the ground. Patterson then hur- riedly left the hotel.
 Upon this information Hendrickson was arrested and Patterson was held as wit ness. Patterson did not see Stevens !n the hotel while he was there. Hendrickson will be given hearing this afternoon on application for bail. but the prosecutor Is quite certain he will be held for trial at the September court
