WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov. l6.
Representative Marshall of Virginia
is here to-day. He is not surprised at
the small vote polled in his State last
week. Judge John 7. Harris of the
same State is also among the guests at
the Metropolitan Hotel. He, like nay
other people from his State, seems 10
think that in view of the large number
of negroes who voted the democratic
ticket at the election and the small
white vote polled, an organized and &C
tive opposition campaign in all the
counties would have made the result
at least doubtful.
The little woman who came to the
White House yesterday accompanied
10y little dog, came again to-day and
explained that she was Princess Anne,
niece of the Queen. She admitted,
however, that her present residence
was Hoboken, n. J. She said she would
call again when told the President was
ont of the city.
President Cleveland arrived in Wash
ington at $40 this morning in Presi-

3TARsEILLEs, Nov. 16.-This city
was thrown into state bordering on
panic last night by an attempt to blow
up the residence of General Mathelen
The house is surrounded by high walls
and sentries are constantly pacing their
posts, and no one is allowed to ap
proach the place. Notwithstanding
these precautions, some one placed in
the hous occupied by the orderlies some
sort of an Internal machine. At mid.
night every one in the vicinity was
aroused by terrific explosion that
shook the houses to their foundation
The explosion had made breach in
the walls and large quantity of de,
bris had been hurled through the
guards room. Though the orderlies
were in bed at the time none of them
were injured. The windows of all the
houses in the vicinity were smashed. A
ladies' school adjacent sustained the
most damage. All the inmates had re-
tired, and when the explosion occurred
they were thrown into state border
ing on frenzy. An Italian has been ar,
rested on suspicion of being the author
of the outrage.
BERLIN, Nov. 16.-The Reichstag
was opened to-day by Emperor Will
liam in person, in speech from the
throne.
LONDON, Nov. 1G.-Owing TO the re-
ported Irregularities in the manage
ment of the Bank of England several
cases have occurred where refusals
have been given to cash Bank of Eng
land notes bearing the autograph
of Frank May, late cashier of the bank.
Mr.. May was involved, it is said in
the operations of the firm of Coleman
& May, the junior member Of which is
the son of Mr.. May. The firm
got into trouble and the governors OF
the bank decided that their cashier had
better retire from their employ. In the
companies III which his son was so
deeply interested, the cashier of the
Bank of England invested large sums
of the banks money by virtue of the
discretionary power entrusted to him.
The collapse ofthe companies swamped
these investments Of the Bank of Eng
lands money. The amount is not yet
definitely known, but it is said that il
is not less than 100000, and it may
possibly be 100000. Some believe
the Bank Of England has lost several
hundred thousand pounds.
PARIS, Nov. 16.-At cabinet coun-
Gil, held at the Palace of the Ellysce
to-day, it was decided that the govern
ment should oppose the proposal to cx-
tend amnesty to political exiles.

surrounding country this morning and
the jubilant people are celebrating the

Jessup, Ca, ice formed aquarter of an
inch thick and Surgeon Murray wired
Surgeon General Wyman the follow
ing: "Good frost last night. Quarter
inch ice. Recommend removal of cor
don now and as soon as disinfection is
completed, which will be tomorrow,
trains will be allowed to stop" Col
lector DeVeaux, epidemic disbursing

X. OIL. Short of Cash.

At Yesterdays session of the General
Assembly Knights of Labor, in Phila.
delphia, it is said General Secretary
Hayes charged the general executive
board, of which General Master Work
man Powderly is chairman, with hav-
ing appropriated 100000 to the use oil
the order instead of applying it to the
relief of the Cpur d'Alene, Homestead
and Tennessee mine strikers, for which
purpose it is alleged to have been con-
tributed.
In his annual report yesterday General
Secretary Hayes recommends the re-
duction of the expenses of the general
officers in Philadelphia, so that they will
be more than fully covered by the le-
Ultimate revenues, and it is believed
that this matter will be an issue of the
session. The total salaries paid out
last year, Mr.. Hayes says, were $780,
467, and to provide for this outlay the
order had only the items of per capita
tax, supplies, charter fees, advertise
ments, printing and subscriptions to
the journal of the Knights of Labor.
What will most probably arouse the
delegates to action on this subject,
however, will be this portion of the
report:
'It will be apparent by continuing
this heavy outlay, the order will have
no funds with which to engage in &C.
tive field work, and without such work
there is no longer hope of the contin-
uance of our organization"
Mr.. Hayes had balance on hand
June 80 last. the end of the fiscal year,
of but S426.So.
1t was shown that suffering exists
among the members in the west and
northwest to very great degree and
numerous cases of exoneration for the
non-payment of dues because of a lack
of employment were ordered.

HAwAu.-No further developments
in the Hawaiian imbroglio are antici-
ipated until the arrival at San Francis
co of the next steamer from Honolulu,
which is due this week. II is believed
in certain quarters that Minister Willis
has communicated some information 10
the State Department which gives the
status OF the Hawaiian question diff
frrent phase, thereby causing the post
ponemcnt Of the answer of the United
States government to the Queen ofthe
islands and to the provisional govern
ment Commissioner Blounts report
on the Hawaiian revolution, which the
administration intended making public,
will be withheld for the present owing
to q reported hitch in the proceedings
caused by advices received at the
State Department in Washington from
Minister Willis.

IT Is reported that Governor Mckln
ney, in his forthcoming last message to
the legislature, will recommend separate
asylums for the idiots and the insane,
increased salaries for the circuit and
appellate judges, and tax on all in
comes, from whatever source, over SIX
hundred dollars. The first Two recon-
mendations are wise, but while incomes
should be taxed for national they should
not be for State revenue. For the lat
ter. the poor man, whose income is
hardly sufficient to support his family,
is already taxed on all he has, and for
the former, on his necessaries Of life.
And though the rich man is taxed on
his lands and houses for State revenue
according to their value, toward the
national revenue he now pays no more
than his poorest neighbor.
