tionsry Movement Il In Progress.
CHICAGO, March &C. H. Gladding, of
San Francisco, an importer of sugar in this
city, speaking today Of the dispatches
which said General Ashford was at the
head of conspiracy to seize the Hawaiian
government, said: II believe the report,
for know what kind of man the gen.
eral is. Some three months ago I had
talk with him at San francisco. He told
me at that time that the native party was
weak and that the missionary party was
not over strong. what is wanted he
said, is some enterprising man to head
movement to secure sympathizers from
both parties / believe now that the en-
terprising man he had in his mind was
none other than himself. He was in Lon
don, ] am sure, two weeks before the
kings death, but he must have reached
Honolulu on the steamer Charleston,
which conveyed the kings body home, for
he seems to have been on hand during the
burial services. The general, although he
has not been officially connected with the
army for several years, has had the entire
confidence and respect Of the soldiers, and
also has large following among the mis-
sionary party. His brother for several
years held some high official position at
Honolulu, and is probably in sympathy
with the movement to take possession of
the government. I would not be at all
surprised to learn when the next steamer
arrives from Honolulu that Ashford, the
Illinoisan, is handling the reins of the
Hawaiian kingdom. King Volney I. does
not sound bad"

Explored Country.

NEW YoRK, March Especial. IA
quiet conference between several gentle
men was held In an Office at 81 Wall street
this afternoon, in which one of the princi-
pal topics discussed was the organization
OF stock company and starting an expe-
dition to explore and take possession OF
the unknown land comprising four coun-
ties in the northwest part of the state OF
Washington. Among those present at
the conference was r. A. Falkenberg, or
Captain Dick" Captain Falkenberg will
be the leader of the expedition.
This region comprises nearly the whole
of Jefferson and Clallam and good part of
Mason and Chehalis counties. In the out
skirts Of these counties are various settle
ments whose main industries are mining
and numbering, for which even here there
seem to be inexhaustible supplies. Indian
tribes living in the vicinity of this region
have never attempted to penetrate it on
account OF superstition that whoever
does will be taken prisoner by wonderful
tribe who live among its mountains, and
who sacrifice human victims to their gods.
There are also many other legends told Of
this country, the majority of which or
iginated in the brains of adventurous trap
pers and hunters.
Captain Dick" who will control the
expedition, is now in this city, and is
busily engaged in making all the neces-
sary arrangements for the trip. In en- in
terview the captain said to a reporter:
Yes, / expect to start on this trip this
spring, probably in April. OF course /
have great hopes of becoming millionaire,
but will be contented to receive fair
share Of what may turn up for my ser
vices -

This arrangement will at once commend
itself TO every one who voted at the last
election, and who vas under the necessity
of going through the entire ticket, and Of
selecting every candidate for whom he
wished to vote. For instance, under one
designation of Office Democrat would be
placed first: under the next. Republican,
and SO on. Many mistakes were made,
and no doubt many electors voted for can.
didatcs for whom they did not intend to
vote. The two objections urged by the
Democrats were that change in the bal
lot law, just after it was understood by the
people, was unwise and would open the
way to many such changes in the future;
and that the proposed ballot would be un-
wieidy and might cover great amount of
paper because, if there were Republican,
Democrat. Independent, Alliance, Prohi-
bition and other parties with candidates,
each would have a place on the ticket.
The only visible partisan advantage in the
new arrangement is that it places
the Republican ticket first and the Demo-
cratic follows. Sharpstein contend ed also
that there was no provision in the law by
which an independent could run for office
and secure a place on the ticket: but
Representative Jones replied that this bill
sought to change only one section Of the
present lay, and that other sections fully
covered that point. The matter finally
reached vote and resulted as follows:

DR.. Darrin.. system Of treatment.

Electricity. the invention of the nine
tenth century, is well worthy the patient
years of investigation and experiment
that have been given to it by some of the
ablest and most devoted votaries of science.
Galvana, Volta. Humboldt, and others
equally distinguished, spent years in
studying the phenomena of this wonderful
agent. and then our own Morse gave it a
physical value in the invention of the tele-
graph. And now, as we have become
familiar with the constant miracle of light
ming, benoing obedient to the slightest
touch of man, we see a new wonder in the
invention of DIR. Darrin, who, by skillful
mechanism, directs this subtle force to the
destruction of disease and the building up
of waning vitality. DR.. Darrin treats all
durable chronic, acute and private diseases,
blood taints, lost or failing manhood,
nervous debility, effects of errors, or ex-
cesses in old or young, loss of memory,
diseases caused by mercury in the inn

road by reason OF being embraced in the
limits Of the Mexican grant to San jose
when the grant TO the southern Pacifc
railway attached, on April 3, 1871. Tho
government also claimed that the consol-
idation of the Southern Pacific with
other railroad companies was illegal, and
that the right to earn the grant by con-
structing the road could not pass by as
signment to the consolidated company.
The court held together in favor Of the
railroad on the latter point, but in the
former it was divided. District Judge Rose

Blaine said he had nothing to say regard

utterly Indifferent as to the result. None
of the members of the cabinet took any
interest in the matter, and they cared less
about it than Canadians usually do about

the county superintendents OF King and
Pierce counties, and from several other
educators, favoring the change. He de-
clared that the exemption Of cities was .
prolific cause OF dissatisfaction, and gave
slight color to the spccious arguments Of
anarchists against the tendency OF
modern legislation. The effect Of the
amendment will be to deprive
boards Of examination. in the cities of over
10000 inhabitants, Of the power Of grant
ing certificates. The cause Of the dispute
between the city and county authorities Of
Pierce county Is thus removed; or, rather,
it will be. if the Senate concnrs in the
action Of the House.
A very lively political fight occurred
this morning over Representative Jones
bill to amend the election Law sas
to the grouping of candidates. The
Democrats attacked the measure as being
drawn for partisan purposes, and sue
ceeded only in arraying the Republican
members almost solidly for the bill, and
passing it through the House. Under the
present law all candidates are ranged al
alphabetically, each under the designation
of the political Office for, which he is a
candidate. The Jones bill seeks to change
the law so that all candidates of one
party shall be grouped together in the fol-
lowing manner:
