Copies Received mt the Foreign Mail
Office I'm This City.
Superintendent N. NJ. Brooks of the for
eign mail service has received copies Of the
Universal Postal Guide, issued by the In
ternational bureau of the postal union.
This work was first projected at the
worlds postal congress held at Vienna in
July, 1891. which Instructed the interna-
tional bureau, under Director Holm, to
carry out the work.
Preliminary arrangements were made,
and in October, 1891. requests were sent to
all the countries of the world for lists of
their post offices and information in regard
to them. Responses were general, every
country in and out of the postal union, ex-
cept Colombia, Hayti. Mexico, Nicaragua,
Dominica, Jamaica, the Virgin Islands and
the Portuguese colonies, sending all that
was asked. These countries were not omit
ted, however. from the guide, as the bu-
other sources.
The present volume Is a huge -quarto,
printed in large handsome type containing
the names of over 2O0OO0 post offices. One
third OF the whole number are in this
country.
The guide Is brought up to October 1,1S0L
Supplements will be issued each July and
January hereafter, showing additions and
changes. The. volume Is printed in French,
but the names OF the post Offices are given
they are located except where the domestic
and foreign names of a wsll-known city
are different. Then both are gwen.
The book Is sold from the bureau at
Berne, Switzerland. at cost. plus postage
which makes its price about $1.75. The
Post Office Department will distribute the
copies it received to all the United States
post offices that have foreign exchanges.

New French wurshtp,

The Navy Department has been inform
ed that the French trip!e-screw warship.
Dupuy de Lone, has at last completed a
successful trial trip. having made an aver
age speed of 1913 knots for two hours over
a measured mile course. This vessel has
had a remarkable series of mishaps In
the efforts to have a successful trial trip.
No less than fifteen attempts were made
since the ship was launched in 1870, and
in the first the bursting of a steampipe
killed many of the firemen. On another
trial the crowns of the furnaces came
down. and there is a long record Of hot
bearings and leaky tubes, which necessitat-
ed the taking out of the new boilers. 1t
has never yet happened in the course of
the building of our new navy that a sue
cessful trial could not be run off in at
least two or threa attempts, and the first
ship is rather remarkable to our builders.

MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL.


TayIOf'o Attorneys present GrOundA
for Another Day in Court.
Messrs. o. D. Barrett and E. G. Niles,
counsel for Thos. J. Taylor. convicted Sat
urday of the murder of his wife last Sep
TENDER, today filed a motion for a new trial,
based on the following grounds:
1. Because the verdict is contrary to the
evidence, in that the weight of the evidence
was that the defendant accidentally shot
his wife in an attempt to shoot himself.
|. Second. Because the defendant was not
furnished with copy of the Indictment
and correct list of the jury and of the
witnesses, the place of abode of each juror
and witnesses two entire days before his
trial, in that the list gave the abode of
several OF the jurors as in the "city of
Georgetown. De-" whereas since the 18th
day of February. 1895, no part of the Dis
trict of Columbia is legally known as
Georgetown or the city of Georgetown.
Third. Because one branch of the de-
Tense being epiieptic insanity the court
charged the jury upon the subject of emo
tional insanity.
Fourth. Because the court, after the
case had been given to the jury, against
the protest of the defendants counsel, per-
mitted the jury to examine a paper con-
tanning sketches made by DR.. Emmons,
which paper had never been formally put
in evidence.
Fifth. Because of the sundry instructions
of the court made in his charge to the
jury.

speakers In referring to the legacy of $3.50

THE ENGLISH IN NICARAGUA
British Troops to Be Landed at Co
ri2to
NicaraEuans Now Looking Wistfully
to This Countrywide Monroe
Doctrine.

Exact official Information has been re-
ceived as to Great Britain's belligerent steps
in Nicaragua. British troops are to be land
ed at Corinto. The custom houses are to be
occupied by the British forces and British
officers are to exercise the functions of col
lectors Of customs. At the same time MIC
araguan local commerce is to be crippled
by a blockade.
The limit of time allowed Nicaragua to
yield expires tomorrow, and the blockade.
landing of troops and seizure of customs
houses will begin Immediately thereafter.
There is good reason to believe that Mica
ragua will allow British troops to occupy
Ccrinto, in order that conspicuous atten-
ton may be drawn to what is regarded by
Nicaragua as an invasion of the Monroe
doctrine.
DR.. GuZman, the NicaraguaE minister,
has been inaccessible today. He has been
very active since early morning, as the
brief time remaining before Great Britain
final blow places heavy responsibility on
him. Nicaragua's hopes now are almost
entirely centered on Washington. 1t is not
believed, however, that DR.. Guzman has
succeeded as yet in eliciting the interven-
ton of the United States.

safely make the trip to Washington, and
added that he thought it migh. oe beneficial
to his health. Justice Jackson then notified
the court that he would be present when
needed. He recognizes 1t at his duty to at
tend the meeting on May @. owing to the
Importance of the income tax question. and
the fact that a settlement is desired by all
parties interested.
After the court has considered the petit:
tons, Judge Jackson will return here and
remain until the meeting of the court in
October. or course, Judge Jackson ex-
presses no opinion on matters which will
come before him as a judge.

Lecture on Napoleon.

The interest which Is felt Just now in all
that pertains to the life of Napoleon. an
interest which has taken on the proper
lions of q craze, was more than enough to
attract large audience to the Washington
Club last evening to listen to an address by
Mr.. Gardiner G. Hubbard on some phases
Of the life and character of the great Cor
sican. Mr.. Hubbard is the possessor of one
of the finest collections of Napoleonic relics
in existence in this country, containing
many portraits, reproductions, miniatures
and engravings, and these were used in IL
Illustrating the lecture last evening through
the medium of stereopticon views. Mr..
Hubbard's talk was in the nature of a run
ming sketch of Napoleon. timed to the views
which were presented in chronological or
der, and while it was naturally not ex-
haustive in any way. 1t still gave a very
satisfactory and racy account of the man
from his comparatively humble beginning,
through his marvellous career, and down to
his sad death on the island Of St. Helena
In addition to the views of Napoleon HIM
self, there were a number Of reproductions
of engravings and miniatures of the mem
bers of his family and Of his marshals. The
lecture was such a success from every point
Of view that Mr.. Hubbard has been re-
requested to repeat 1t In the near future, a
request that he has promised to accede to.

torship Race.
OTHER POLITICAL NOTES

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 24.-The Even
ing Post prints an interview with eX-Gov.
McCreary today, in which he declares him
self unalterably opposed to the free COIN
age Of silver. This utterance was brought
out by Senator Blackburn's stand in favor
Of free silver.
Mr.. McCreary has prepared long state
ment of his position. giving resume Of his
notion and votes in Congress. He says:
Il favor an international agreement con-
Bistent with sound business methods; but
to throw open the mints of this country
to the world is simply preposterous."
This statement Of Mr.. McCreary adds
greatly to the interest in the senatorial
race and expressions Of the views Of Gov.
John Young Brown and ex-Gov. Simon
Bolivar Buckner are expected at an early
date. Buckner favors gold and Is a BIZ
netallist. The senatorial fight will be for
and against silver.

The meeting was special one, called by

inexpedent and unwise to open the mints
of the United States to the free coinage of
silver: that 1t would be most unfortunate

step should be taken.

A New Trustee Asked,

A bill in equity asking the appointment
of a new trustee was this afternoon filed

Ter against Washington Danenhower, as
trustee, and sixteen others. The property
involved comprises lets so and SO. square
252; lots 43, Al and As, square 252, and par.
of lot 10, same square. 1t is stated in the
bill that the management of the trust by
Mr.. Danenhower has for some time been
extremely unsa satisfactory to the complain
ants and other owners of the real estate,
mainly because of the dictatorial attitude
assumed by him with reference to the
equitable owrers and his apparent DISPOSE
ton to entirely ignore their rights in the
premises, and also because of his inatten-
ton to the duties of the trust.
