The ST. James Gazette on the Sackville
incident: "Lord Salisbury is undoubt-
edly right on the question Of principle.
Lord Sackville spoke when he ought to
have been silent and told the truth to the
wrong person. This, however, does not
excuse President Cleveland's treatment of
Lord Sackville, but does afford solid
reason for placing the latter in position
where he will run less risk from the wiles
Of the deceiver."
The interest in the Walsh county suf-
fercrs in Dakota is revived by the receipt
Of letter from Fargo from Rev. J. G.
Omland, which leaves no ground for
doubt that destitution Of the most appall-

Walsh county. Mr.. Omland states the

subsist except frosted wheat.
The Kennebec river is open for naviga-
ton from Augusta to the sea, the ice hav-
ing gone out last nj ght. The condition
of the river is unprecedented. The ice
men are the greatest sufferers, not pound
of ice having been harvested up to this
time. Ordinarily their houses are half
filled. Their fields are now all open
water. The lumbermen are also in 8
sorry situation. The snow is all gone
and the streams are opening so that oper.
ations are seriously interfered with.

Ger of Brooklyn. Her mother is still liv
ing in New York, but being feeble ano

Latest advices from Indian Territory
are that the late decision of Secretary
Villas, giving the governorship of tht
Chickasaw nation to VIM. Byrd, is mo-
favorably received. The adherents O
Guy, who was elected on the face of the
returns, and who is virtually deposed by
the decision, largely outnumber the Byrf
faction in many localities and are threat
ening trouble. Both Guy and Byrt
agreed to accept the arbitration of th'
interior department. Guy himself viii
keep faith, but it is doubtful whether h'
can prevent his partisaus from breaking
out in open violecce. The most influen
tial of the Chlckasaw citizens supported
Guy, and the overthrow OF his government
is serious blow, SO they claim, to tb'
best interests of the nation. In fact, SOM
of these men go so far as to say that mat
ters are further from settlement thai
ever.
