According to a letter which The
Times publishes from correspondent
at Toxic cabinet crisis occurred in
November, due to the refusal of the
Progressists to vote an increase in the
land tax, which is necessary, owing to
the deficits caused by the late war.
Parliament would have expired next
June, and the Progressists, with gem
eral election in sight, did not desire
80 risk unpopularity by voting to In
crease taxation.
However. Count Okuma, the leader
of the Progressists, left the foreign
Office, says the correspondent, with an
enhanced reRutatlon, and next to Count
Ito occupidY the largest space in the
field of the nations vision.
The Times commenting cditorially on
this letter and its dispatches says:

Count Okuma may be regarded as an
event of great significance by the other

Avenue Athletic club last night. The
match was originally Tor 20 rounds,

$500 for this. I1verhardt refused to go
on until he secured an agreement that
if both men were on their feet at the

declared draw. Everhardt tried to
make it a rough and rushing fight from

to keep away from punishment. In

there was danger of knockout. Then

CAUSEWAY THE CITY'S.
That Is What Solicitor Conrad Says In His
Decision on the Question.

The Street and Sewer Department last
night received from City Solicitor Conrad
his opipion as to whether the causeway
and Townse nd street beyond Market
street bridge are controlled by the city or
county. The decision was that the city
owned the streets. Among other things
the opinion calls attention to the fact that
all streets and roads in the city were
originally placed under the Mayor and
Council, and afterwards by an act Of the
General Assembly this power was trans.
ferred to the Street and Sewer Depart
ment. Continuing, Mr.. Conrad said:
"The general state law makes all public
bridges In New Castle county charge
upon the county Or the several hundreds.
Causeways appsrtaining to r q bridge are
deemed part of the bridge. The county Is
still cnargenblo wi h causeways that are
adjacent to and used as part of the
public bridges, but cannot reconcile my.
self to the belief thatit was contemplated
that the public road leading from Market
street southward, and commonly called
''the ca,lseway," should for its entire
length continue to be charge on the
county.
But on the contrary am of the opinion
that all that portion OF said road lying
within the city limits, beyond what could
properly b0 called the approaches to the
bridge, is under the control and subject to
the supervision of your body in the same
way as all other streets, roads, highways.
etc. in the city of Wilmington. Any
other interpretation of tho law would lead
to conflict of authority in the manage
ment Of the streets of the city that would
tend to endless confusion"
Mr.. Conrads opinion is the same regard.
ing Townsend road and states that 1t is
under the control of the Street and Sewer
Departm The opinion OF the city So
licitor is gratifying in one way to the de-
partment. MS it plainly states that all
streets. highways and roads within the
city are under It's control, There are sew
eral miles of turnpikes within the city, yet
the department at present has no control
over these, although under the ruling of
the city solicitor the department may bs
able to take proceedings 10 acquire posses.
sion OF these turnpikes within tho city lim-

The decision was necessitaied by the
nuisance which frequently exists on the
causewAy. The l. evy Court wanted the
city to nbate it and the city the coun.

keep the roads in repair.

GAGE DID NOT RESIGN.
Has Not Thought OF Retiring From
the Treasury Department.

VIC DCptel UHiS"eS
Washington, Dec. 29.-Secretary Gage
was seen yesterday on his return from
New York and questioned as to the
truth of the published report that he
had rendered his resignation to tho
president, and that it had been firmly
declined, with many expressions OF
confidence and appreciation of his abil-
ity as shown in his administration OF
the treasury department. Mr. Gage
was not inclined to discuss the matter
at length, but said he had not rendered
his resignation, or had he any reason
to beiieye that he and the president
were not in substantial accord on the
great questions now before the country
The report, he said, probably sprung
from remark he had made to inti-
mate friends to the effect that not for
anything would he erlbarrass the presi-
dent, and If he saw that he was doing
this he would resign at once. He added:
"A cabinet officer ought always to be,
and is ready to surrender his office at
the call of his chief the executive, but
! have not the slightest reason to be-
lieve that such action on my part Is
even remotely desired by the president.
The desires of other people in that dl-
rection | am not disposed to consider

SEEKS HIS SISTERS RELEASE.
Thinks That She Is Illegally Confined
In an Asylum.

Baltimore, Dec. ga hearing was
given yesterday In Judge Dobler's court
in the habeas corpus proceedings
brought by Henry M. Carter, of this
city. on behalf Of his sister. Mrs. Mary

dren and is beneficiary of the Ford
trust estate, which Is extensive and
pays a large income 1t is claimed by
Mr. Carter that this Is the foundation
Of all her troubles.
A short time ago Mrs. Ford was COM
mittcd to Mount Hope Retreat on petit
tion of her children and on the certltl-
Gates Of two Richmond physicians.
Mrs. Ford's brother said that his sister
had visited him not very long ago and
she showed no signs of the insanity
which was alleged as a reason for the
commitment. He, therefore, thought
she was wrongfully committed and sued
out writ of habeas corpus in order
that his sister might be discharged, or
that her insanity might be inquired into

City of Mexico. Dec. ga gentleman
from Cuba. who has been in Manzan-
lilo, in one of the so-called pacifed
provinces, says that in reality the war
has not begun there. for the country
has been abandoned to insurgents, who
have built towns, which are supplied
with abundant provisions from the
neighborng estates, established by
rebels, who even manufacture gum
powder and have arms factories, tam
neries and shoe factories, so that they
can supply their troops with the most
Indispensable articles. Spanish author
ity is not recognized, and the inhabi-
tants are comfortably settled under the
authority of the Cuban republic.
The poorer Spanish soldiers are in
such condition that much sympathy is
aroused, they being mostly boys, thin,
pale and i'll and complaining Of the
wretched quality Of their scanty rations
and of not receiving any pay for
months. Their condition is pitiful in
the extreme, arousing much sympathy
among the insurgents, who know that
these mere lads have been conscripted
and sent to fight them under conditions
which no veteran troops would stand
without mutiny.

QUARREL ENDS IN MURDER.
Joseph Wallis Stabs to Death Twenty
Eight Year Old John r. David,
Middletown, December 2S

The third homicide in Kent county in
ono month and the fourth since August
occurred at Sussafrass, in the extreme
norUherly section of the county, at about
7.3O clock last night.
John L. David, aged about twenty three
years; was stabbed to death by Joseph
Wallis. vino was lodged in Jail here this
morning. Wallis, who is an engineer.
running threshiny and other engincs in
season, made tho following statement this
afternoon: He was in the general store
OF J. Frank Earnest he said, acting tenn
porarily as clerk when David entered and
went back to tho grocery room, where he
was, and said. "Joo, you don't like me"
Wallis answered hat he had nothing
against him, but did not like him to come
to his house and kick up II fuss at night,
referring to u recent trouble, when David
and his brother-inlaw, Downos, Went. to
Wallis house several weeks ago at night
and created much disorder. This, it Ii
believed, was the first starting of TIE
trouble Several parties who were present
together with David and Wallis, took
several drinks together and the unpeas-
antness between tho men started afresh.
They then went into the road in front of
Earnest's store, where fight ensued.
David, it Is claimed, drew u pistol and
snapped 1t three or four times in close
range to Wallis breast but only one cart
ridge exploded, and that missed tho mark.
1t was at this point that Wallis says he
drew pocket knife from his pocket and
inflicted the fatal stab and his victim
dropped and died, in short time. The
body of the dead man shows several ghast-
ly wounds. Wallis claims solf Defense
and made no effort 10 escape arrest.

RDLIEF FOR KL0ND]KE.:
Canada Will Cooperate With Uncle
Sam in Forwarding It. ,.,
ANOTHER REPORT FROM DAWSON.
Returning Gold 6cekers Now Declare
That There Is No Scarcity in the
Food Supply, and That Government
Relief Is Unnecessary.

Washington, Dec. 2s.-The expected
conference between Secretary Alger
and Mr.. Seton, the Canadian commits
siorer, did not take place yesterday af-
ternoon. Secretary Alger had over
rated his strength and found that he
was not sufficiently recovered from his
illness to undertake the work of ar
ranging details of the Klondlse RELIEF
expeditions. The Canadian visitors are
to remain here for a few days, how
ever, SO that the conference Is simply
postponed for short time.
Captain Brainard has been author
ized to issue the advertisements for the
supplies that are to be carried on the
relief expeditions They probably Will
appear in newspapers in Chicago.
Seattle, Portland and San Francisco.
The list of article to be carried has been
arranged with the greatest care by the
quartermaster's department. after con-
sultatlon with Surgeon General stern
berg, only the most vitality necessary
food articles, which combine resistance
to cold and decay with great nutritive
value, being selected.
List No. / includes absolutely In
dispensible articles, and Is made up of
bacon, flour, pea meal, desslcated
onions, tea, salt and pepper. These
things must go If anything Is taken.
1t will be noticed that in food value
onions are set ahead of potatoes, and
that tea is taken instead of coffee.
Both potatoes and coffee are provided
for in list No. 2, which is made up of
toll tn IN r. a d.
dition to those in the first list If there
Is accommodation for them. This list
is dried fruits (apples, pruncs or rais-
ins) dessicated potatoes and coffee. II
the transportation facilities are equal
to still further load then the articles
in list No. 8 will be added as follows:
Fresh meat in cans sugar and tobacco.
From the advces of the Canadians
1t is likely that Skaguay will be chosen
instead of Dyea as the terminal port
of the relief expeditions. The reason
for this choice Is said to be the fact
that Skaguay has wharves where the
ships may discharge their cargoes di-
rectly, while at Dyea there are moth
ing but lighters to land the goods.
Mr. Seton said today that he hoped
to conclude his visit within the next
two days, and that there was no doubt
the two governments could make an
arrangement which would be mutually
beneficial in extending relief to the
Klondikers. The minister's attention
was called to reports that Canada
might not be willing to cooperate in
the use of the military arm of the gov
ernment, as provided by the bill which
recently became a law. He said, how
ever, that he apprehended no difficulty
in that direction, as the only purpose
of the two governments was to effect
the relief in the most feasible way pos
sibe There appears to be no desire
on the part Of the Canadian officials to
interpose any technical obstacles to the
execution of the relief measures, and
for this reason it is expected salts
factory agreement will be quickly
reached

Streets and Sewers.

The Street and Sewer Department last
evening transacted more than the usual
amount of routine business. A petition
from Mrs. David G. Reed. as king for u
sewer to drain her property at No. 493 Del
aware avenue was referred 10 Engineer
Hatton for an estimate.
In communication from City Solicitor
Conrad he called attention to the now law
regarding the vacating of streets. The ln-
formal ion will result in tho department
vaca ing portions Of tho streets where tho
overhead bridges are being built by the u.
20 Eailroad Company.
The solicitor also callod attention to Il g
fact that under tho new constitution Il o
General Assembly is prohibited from pa IS"
ing any local or special law relating to tho
vacation In whole or i'll parF, OF any road,
highway, straat, lane or alley.
I he exclusive Jurisdiction over the vaca-
tiUn Of : reefs or roads is now vestei in the
Court of General Sessions, and the pro-
ccedings are similar to hose taken for The
condemnation Of land for tho opening or
changing Of streets. The rext session of
the court opens on FebrnaryT 7, 1885 and as
there is provision In he city charter re-
quirlng 30 days notice by publication in
two newspapers of the intention to apply
for vacation of II Street, Mr.. Conrad ad-
vised that publication should be started
early in January.
Director Simmons called tho attention
of the directors to he nsh collections and
of complaints received. 1t was his opin-
ion that lhe department should control tho
work, and at his suggestion tho secretary
was instructed 10 got estimates of the cost
of wagons built especially for collecting
ashes, and alsn prepare estimates for doing
the work.
The secretary was instructed to make
application after January to City CBur-
Gil tor tho remaining $50 900 OF the loan
authorized by the last Legislature. so the
money will ho ready to commence work
