Several Strange Drean,s

A farmers wife dreamed that she vae
walking near the house of a rejected
loyer-One O'Flanagan-attended nv a
beautiful hound, of which she was fond.
when a raven dashed at him, killed him,
and tearing out his heart flew away
with II. She next imagined that sho
was running home, and met a funeral
and from the coffin blood flowed unon
the ground. The bearers placed it at
her feet, opened the lid and exhibited
her husband, murdered and his heart
torn out. She awoke, as might he en-
pected, IN great terror. But here fol-
lows the most incomprehensible part of
the narrative. Her husband entertained
an idiot cousin in the house, and he in
ooggeral rhyme repeated the very same
dream to gossip to whom the farm
er's wife had related hers.
That very night the farmer was mur.
dered, and the next morning the poor
Idiot, TO the horror of all, exclaimed. as
he rose from his bed: 'sUlick'-TJl;ck

spot indicated by the dream, and the
body was found with the skull nearly
cleft In two. In the meantime O'Flan-
lgan absconded and enlisted, but was
arrested, confessed his
:rlme and was executed.-Pall Mall

hours per day.

THE ALLIANCE TO SAIL.

Going From Callao to Corinto In Nicarag gus
to Protect American Interests.
Tho acting secretary of the navy has received
= cable message from Commander Whiting,
commanding the United States steamship Al
lance. saying that he will leave Callao In that
weasel today for Realeio (Oorinto). Nicaragua.
The two ports are about L. 400 miles part, and
it will probably take the Alliance about ten
days to make the trip. The renewal Of trouble
in Nicaragua makes 1t necessary for this coun-
try to have a warship in that vicinity for the
protection Of American interests, and the good
old ship Alliance is the only vessel available for
the purpose Commander Whiting says moth
ing in his telegram about the condition Of
affairs in Peru.
Confidence in ZavalIa.
According to United States Minister Bakor
the Zavalls government in Nicaragua is likely
to be stable. He cabled the State Department
from Managua last evening that many Of the
Nicsraguan people have great confidence In
Zavalla, whose government is fully organized.
Minister Baker estimates that seventy-five per
cent of the people are supporting 1t, and he has
great hopes Of peaceable adjustment Of the
present difficulties without bloodshed. He
adds that the terms Of the treaty of last May,
by which Sacassa obtained peace, will be car
ried out in substance.

PAY INSPECTORS srEvENsoN.s cAsI

PAY INsPECTOK sTEvENSON's CASE
He 10 Again Found Physically Qualinsd for
Promotion.
The case Of Pay Inspector ]. B. Stevenson
has become further complicated from the fact
that for the second time he has been examined
and found physically qualified for promotion.
This practically necessitates his professional
and mental examination for promotion for
the fourth time.
The solution Of this troublesome case would
have been simple If the medical board had re-
ported against him, as in that case he could
then be relegated to the retired list Of the navy
and removed from the path Of his associates
below him in the pay corps whose promotion 10
blocked so long as he remains where he is.
Mr.. Stevenson realizes that he stands no
chance Of promotion during the present ad-
ministration, and is perfectly willing to be
placed on the retired list. As this can be done
only by reason Of age or physical disability he
and his friends are naturally disappointed at
tine result Of the medical examination. Mr..
Stevenson has been i'll for few weeks, and was
in hopes that his condition was serious enough
to Justify his retirement.
Acting Secretary Ramsay declines to act on
this case, and it will remain in its present con-
dition until Secretary Herbert returns. II
will then be determined whether Stevenson
shall be given another examination to ascertain
his professio nal fitness for promotion or
whether the President shall summarily drop
him from the rolls by appointing some
one else in his place. Such an appointment
would require the confirmation of the Senate.
There are precedents for such a course but it
is seldom resorted to. The moral objections
offered against Stevenson's promotion are
equally applicable to his retention in the

OBJECT TO A DAM.

It 10 ON the St Lswrence and Floods Ameri-
can Farms.
Reports from New York state that the dam
being built by the Canadians in the St Law
renee river, opposite Frszer's Landing, N. T.,
is causing the overflow Of thousands of acres Of
crops on the American side of the river. The
farmers for miles around are becoming desper-
ate. They claim to have appealed to the State
Department, but no action has been taken in
the matter. The farmers say they will resort
to force unless the government comes TO their
assistance.
No remonstrance or protest against the con-
structiou of dam in the St. Lawrence river
has been received by the Department Of State
from the farmers along the American side OF
the river and nothing is known Of the merits Of
the case.
Such constructions on the boundary rivers,
currence, and have been the subject Of diplo-
matte negotiations, but have always been easily
adjusted
Only few weeks ago Gen. Poe, the army en-
gineer officer in charge Of the Improvements on
the Detroit river, informed the War Depart
ment that there we're rumors that the Canadians
were preparing to compel him to cease
dredging operations on the east side Of Bois
Blame Island. He asked what course he was to
pursue: The matter was referred to
the Department OF State, and it
Of the treaty Of 1s42 the free use Of the river
on either side Of the island was guaranteed to
the United States As well IS to Canada. There
fore Gen. Poe WAS directed to proceed with his
work, and nothing more was heard Of the OBJ
lection.
Another case more nearly resembling the st.
Lawrence affair happened recently on the
southern border. Here the Mexican govern
ment engineers began the construction Of some
dams on the Mexican side Of the Rio
Grsrde river opposite Brownsville.
Texas. 1t wss represented that the effect
would be to throw the current over to the Amer
ican side and by erosion to destroy much prop
erty at Brownsville. These representations were
found to be true by the United States engineer
officers who inspected the works. and the State
Department was called uDon to present the case
to the Mexican government. These negotis-
tons are still in progress with prospects of an
amicable conclusion, and 1t is not
doubted here that the St. Lawrence
affair will also be considered by the Canadian
government in a spirit Of fairness il II should

two CASES INVESTIGATED.

Engineers Who Are Charged with Violating
the Regulations for Running Steamboats.
Two cases were investigated this morning at
the Office Of the supervisor general Of steam
boats by Cspts. Cooper and White, the in
spectors Of this district One was that Of
William Gesry Of Alexandria, who holds q IL
cense As q marine engineer, with authority to
act ss engineer Of . steamer Of fifty tons
These licenses have to be renewed yearly, and
when Mr.. Geary's license was sent to the board
for renewal it was found that it had been al
tered to read $50 tons instead Of Fifty tons. He
claimed in the examination today that the
change had been made without his knowledge.
The other case was that Of Andrew Chesser,
also Of Alexandria. who WAS charged with rum
ming the steamer Eva Belle Cain with an iron
plug in the back table OF the boiler instead OF q
fusible plug, required by the board Of steam
boat inspectors. The regulation plug, or safety
plug, ~ it is known. is made Of brass and filed
with bancs tin, which will melt when the water
gets low in the boiler and thus give an alar m.
The accused claimed that he did not know that
the iron plug was In use. Both cases will be
considered by the inspectors and report made
to Gen. Dumont

NO DISSATISFACTION.
The Relations Between the President
and Secretary Carlisle.
HAVE BEEN DRAWN CLOSE TOGETHER,
If There Were Any Differences
They Are Now Removed.
PERFECT CONFIDENCE EXISTS

Talk OF mutual dissatisfaction between Presi-
dent Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle has again
found Its way into print The New York CORE
spondent of the Philadelphia Press tells q long
story with abundance of detail Of what friends
OF Mr.. Cleveland say about the Presidents dis
appointment and lack Of confidence in Carlisle
careful investigation into the matter dis
closes no such state Of affairs at this time.
1t ia commonly believed that there was at one
time decided difference Of opinion between
the two men as to the policy to be followed to
accomplish what they both desired to bring
about.
Difference in Methods.
Mr.. Cleveland has way Of driving at things
in direct out-of-hand fashion, while Mr.. Car
Isle. having distinctively Judicial mind and Q
long training in congressional life, whore
things are not always got for the
demand, is more diplomatic and con-
servative in his dealings with public
af airs. Mr.. Carlisle's conservatism may have
been mistaken by Mr.. Cleveland for vscillatiou
and a lack of frmness. and this impression may
have caused Mr.. Cleveland some disappoint-
ment.
II this was true, however, there il sufficient
evidence that Mr.. Cleveland has revised his i'm
preston Of his Secretary Of the Treasury and
now regards him as one Of the most reliable
and steady Of advisers. It Ia asserted that in
stead of standing a little apart, each set
In . contrary opinion, the two men
have Of late been drawn close together. and
that Mr.. Cleveland leans on Mr.. Carlisle a.
much, il not more, than on any other member Of
his cabinet There is said to have developed
a mutual admiration and confidence between
them somewhat out Of the ordinary.
When tho Pinch for Gold Came.
There Is little doubt that Mr.. Carlisle's pol
10y, when the pinch for gold came, would have
been to redeem coin certificates in silver rather
than trench upon the hundred million gold
''reserve."
Mr.. Cleveland stood firmly against this policy
and it is believed that there was . very long
and earnest controversy in the cabinet before
the conclusion was reached which resulted in
the continuation Of gold payments. But all
this is thing Of the past and there Is no longer
any discussion as to which might have
been the wiser policy. The assertion that is
made in the most convincing manner and sus-
tanned by outward appearances is that there is
now the most perfect confidence and oordiality
between the two men.

ABUNDANT HARvEsIs PROMISED.

J. Sterling Morton, Secretary OF Agriculture.

days before going on . vacation into the woods
Of northern Michigan.
Secretary Morton spoke Of the general con-
dition Of the crops throughout the country aud
said that there was every indication Of an
abundant harvest Corn, hay and oats, he
thought, would be produced in unusually large
quantities, and large supplies Of these produc-
tions would be shipped to foreign countries.
The Secretary said his department at present
was trying to compile accurate statistics of the
production and consumption Of beef in the
United States. On no meat, he thought, had
the feeders lost so heavily in the last year on
beef. This, he thought, was due in part to the
increase In the consumption Of pork.

The Atlanta to be Repaired.

The United States steamship Atlanta was put
out Of commission at New Yofk last night and
will undergo a complete overhauling. 1t is es-
timated that she can be put in perfect condi-
ton for sea service in about two months. The
Atlanta is one of the Roach cruisers and has
been in almost continuous active service for
seven years, lacking one day, during which
time she cruised in European, South Atlantic
and home waters in all kinds Of weather and
demonstrated excellent sea-going qualities.
Her excellent record as a stanch vessel is the
more remarkable from the fact that the Navy
Department hesi.ated to accept her from her
builders on the general ground that she was
structurely weak and unsuited for naval
purposes.
