THE DISTRICT ATToRNEYsHIP.-lt
generally thought here that if Col. }.
Catlett Gibson, of Culpeper, wants TO
be District Attorney for another term
he can get the place. The circum-
stances under which he got the appoint
ment before may now be interesting.
During the exciting contest of 1881 a
preacher unknown to Mr. Cleveland
rendered him great service by taking
his part when charges OF unbecoming
conduct toward IA woman were made.
After the election this divine called On
Mr. Cleveland TO congratulate him, aud
the President-elect, after expressing his
thanks for services rendered, told his
visitor that he would do anything to
show his appreciation that might lie
asked of him. The preacher said lie
had nothing to ask for himself, but
college mate of his might be cand.-
date for District Attorney in Virginia,
and if so, he (the minister would en-
dorse the application. 1.-The appoint
ment shall be made was Mr.. Cleve-
lands reply. He requested the name,
watch was given him, and Gibson in
due season was appointed. The Colo
mel is candidate for reappointment,
and Mr.. Cleveland has hardly forgotten
why he gave him the place eight years
ago.-RicltmOnd Letter in Petersburg In

Englisl, Field Sports.

The matter of wire fencing ami the
kindred difficulty of dealing with inn
mense fields of horsemen are 80 often
thrashed out In the papers devoted to
field sports that it is not necessary to
enter into them here. Masters of hounds
are now willing to pay for taking up
wire before the hunting season begins,
and to put 1t down again in the spring.
The difficulties caused by large fields
will have somehow to be overcome,
either by ceasing to advertise meets or
by making 1t understood chow, perhaps,
it is not very easy to say that those who
come out will have TO pay for their
sport, an idea which, while IL Is COM
monty acted upon by residents, is often
overlooked by visitors.
Field sports In the British islands are
for the most part artificial, bnt hunting
is entirely so. If it was not for the ten
der care which, In England at any rate,
is taken of the fox, he would soon become
as extinct as the wolf. Coverts are plant
ed for him on dry sunny hillsides; his
breed is improved by judicious crossing
with strangers from the north, and in a
good hunting country keepers are sup
posed at any rate to look after his com
fort and to consider him almost as much
belonging to their family as do their
pheasants. In district which is suita-
Bile in every way for game, but which is
not preserved, 1t is always exceedingly
scarce. e.-Macmillan's Magazine.

81 think the ghastliest sight / ever
saw" said Sheriff Barnes, twas during
the late war on the field of Malvern Hill.
I was in the battle and more terrific
engagement never witnessed. But that
is not the exact time to which l refer.
About year after the battle was fought
my regiment was ordered out into the
neighborhood of the same old field. We
went over the very same ground, and
there in the open field, exposed to the
torrid sun. were bleaching the bones Of
our comrades who fell in that awful en-
gagement. 1t was a sight shall never
forget. On every side lay a waste of
skulls-skulls of almost every shape and
size-a modern Golgotha.
eve could not identify them, however,
and could only gaze with feeling of
sorrow on the aggregate pile of human
heads that had once been full of life and
feeling. After the deeper emotions ex-
cited by the spectacle had worn away ]
thought of the infinite variety of shapes
that were presented by the heap. There
were no two of tho same shape or size
and it was rather matter OF curious
though melancholy interest to inspect
the different skulls as they lay crum
bling in the sultry atmosphere OF that

BERLIN, MAY 3.--In the reichstag to-
day Caprivi declared the government
would endeavor by every constitutional
means TO secnre the passage Of the army
bill. Continuing, the chancellor said
the federal government was resolved to
employ all constitutional means in its
power to attain its object. The rejection
OF the bill would create abroad the im-
preston that there was weakness here.
"In the name of the empire and in the
name Of Prussia" concluded the chan
cellor, "I announce that Won Iluenes'
proposal is acceptable to u.s."
The army, the chancellor said, as at
present constituted, was unequal to
any emergency that might arise. He
reminded the members of the reichstag
that the ablest diplomacy was not an
efficient substitute for military strength.
In support OF this assertion, he cited
the experience OF Frederick the Great OF
Prussia.
The fate of the army bill is the theme
OF excited discussion in the lobbieH of
the rechetag. The government, it is
said, informed the army bill committee
that if the bill is rejected, the reichstag
will be forthwith dissolved, the remain
ing business OF the session being Get
aside.
The members Of the Centre party had
an uproarious meeting today to consider
the proposition supported by Won
Huenea as to the terms on which the
Centrists should support the army bill
in the reichstsg, The meeting was
most exciting, and resulted in the re-
lection OF Won Huenes' proposition by
an enormous majority. Count Won
Billeetem thereupon resigned as lesder
of the Centre party. Count Won Prey
ing-Lichtenegg-M -Moos of Straubing was
elected TO succeed him. Afterwards it
was decided the members should vote
according to their individual convic.
tiong.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 3.--The Oakland
baseball team has refused to play more
games until Colonel Robinson makes
satisfactory settlement ss to unpaid
salaries. The men were to 60 to Los
Angeles Monday night and had as
sembled at the depot apparently for that
purpose, but they then demanded pay
ment of arrears and were refused, go the
train left without them. The men say
the pay day for the first months work
has been passed nearly four weeks, and
they have received not a cent
Colonel Robinson declares, however, he
owes the men nothing for the first
months salary, as he gave them ad-
vance money before the season opened,
and he is simply making the usual de-
ductions. The men claim the cuetom is
not to require repayment in lump
sum, but to make regular discounts on
the monthly salary throughout the sea-
son. There the matter hangs, and
there probably will be no baseball in
Los Angeles this week.

the idea that something might probably

BRITISH COMMONS.
Gladstone Favors an Eight-Hour Day
for Miners.

Gladstone Favors an Eight-Hour Day
for Minors.
LONDON, May 3.--In the house Of COM
mons today Samuel Woods, a labor
member of parliament for Southwork,
Lancashire, and vice-president of the
National Federation of Mines, moved a
bill establishing eight hours as legal
days work in the mines. 1t was read
the second time.
Gladstone commented on the proba-
Bile effect of the measure. He didn't
believe, he said, diminution OF the out
put would produce an increase of wages.
All were agreed, he said, that it was not
a party question and the government
could not be identified with it. He
was personally unwilling to interfere
with the freedom OF adult labor, but
the present case seemed to justiiy an
exception to the general principle, since
the majority of the miners favor the
proposed restriction. He would, there
fore, support the bill under restrictions,
and would not consent to the extension
OF it's provisions to Northumberland
and Durham, where there was strong
opposition to the proposed limitation.
The question having been asked
whether the government was prepared
to apply the same principle of local op-
tion to the government of Ireland which
itwas proposed to apply to the question
OF eight hours in the mines, Gladstone
reminded the house that in submitting
the Irish home rule bill he expressed
his Willingness to entertain such prop
osition if Ulster 80 desired. The gov
ernment, Gladstone said, had never
withdrawn from this position, although
of course the government had not tried
to give it effect, in view of the disincli
nation of the people of Ulster to accep
such plan. The eight-hour bill TO
miners passed to second reading by
unta of 27Q To Dol
