rhe Connections Governorship.

NEW HAvEN, Conn, May s.-Attorney Case,
acting for Governor Bulkley and Lieutenant
Governor Merwfn, filed answer to the proceed
ings brought by Morris Alsop in the superior
court this morning. Governor Bulkley claims
that he, and no other person, Is the true and
lawful governor Of Connecticut; that the general
assembly of Connecticut, In Its January session
In 1882 by joint ballot elected him to be governor
for two years, and until his successor IL duly
qualified. He still acts as governor
because no successor has - yet been chosen.
He states that Morris did not have .
majority over al, and on account OF manifest
mistakes in the returns 1t was impossible to tell
who, ii anyone, had been legally chosen gov
ernor. Concluding, Bulkley denies that he
usurps the Office, and says shat he uses said
Office by warrant of authority of law, and asks
to be dismissed by the court from the things

THE RIO GRANDE FLOOD.


Mountains OF Snow Melting and Rushing

Ell PAso, Tex, May S.-The only change in

say that half has not been told Of the flood that
soon must sweep down the Rio GraLde. At
Aemhress Hill, Col, snow stands up beside the
Denver = Rio Grand section six feet, and thence
extends for miles, covering the whole range a.

four - 1nfy-hve feet. All streams are run

while the floods that have passed do not begin to
indicate what may follow. At 1nvalherd, above

REPUDIArIoN IN MISSOURI.


SV0oescS ReIUS0 90 Of0er TAX Aev1eo 20
Pay Railroad Aid Bonds.
KANSAS CRY, May s.-There is trouble in the
execution OF judgment in the bond cases
against Cass and st. Clair counties. II grows
out OF the refusal Of the judges Of the county
Court to levy taxes for the payment of these
judgments. The judges of each county an
nounced their determination to 60 to Jail rather
than order tax on the people. There are two
judgments against st. Clair county, one favor Of
B. ID. Stewart, the other in favor OF the Ninth
National bank. of New York, aggregating over
100000. When Deputy Marshal Oechsly
served papers on the judges yesterday,
they told him they would never
order the tax; that they had been
elected under promise to the people never to
levy tax for the payment OF these bonds, and
that they were not only indisposed to do it, but
were afraid to.
The condition OF affairs in Cass county is even
more desperate. Judgment was rendered some
time ago in favor of Albert Parker, capitalist
OF San Diego, for about 100000. mandamus
ordering levy of taxes was granted by the
court and disregarded- The three judges were
arrested and gave bonds in the sum of $1,000
to appear before the court in Kansas City the
second Monday in June. The bonds are railroad
bonds issued by the counties twenty years ago.

CAPE MAY, Sept 4 Especial The
President to-day appointed John s. Dur

Consul General to Haiti. The appointment

choice was made because of Mr.. Durham's
undisputed capacity to act as Minister.

The President went cunning to-day and
met with success. His son-in law, j. Robert
Mckee, and George W. Boyd, of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, accompanied him.
They gunned just opposite Port Elizabeth,
and the President used his weapon with
such success that he killed every reed and

Port Elizabeth the population. gathered to
pay respect to the President, who had an

all of them. As the party departed the
country folks loaded the car with fruit,
melons and wild flowers. This evening q
grand dinner was made out of the gather
ing of the day, to which Mr. and Mrs.
Boyd sat down with the Presidential family.
This afternoon the President had long
conference with Senator Watson G. Squire,
of Washington,
