Chicago, May 21.—A storm of extraordinary violence prevailed on Lake Michigan last night, and a number of sailing vessels bound to tliis port were wrecked, hut the extent of disasters is only yet partially known. The chief disaster thus far reported is that of the two-masted schooner Jenny Lind, lumber laden, from Muskegon, which made the harbor south of the city during the night, castingjtwo anchors. Everything was made clear above decks, but the wind coming from the northeast drove her toward shore. Her cable parted, and, becoming unmanageable, she was upset near land about 5 o'clock this morning. The mate, E. Sample, swam for the shore and was rescued. John Anderson, captain, L. Peterson, A. Helgeson and a man named Christianson, sailors, were drowned. Off Milwaukee, last night, six of the crew of the schooner Pelril deserted the captain, end, taking the yawl boat, attempted to Teach shore, thinking the schooner would founder, but she did not. They had gone but a short way when the yawl capsized and three of the crew drowned. The others clung to the bottom of the boat and were saved This morning the captain was picked up oil' the wreck by a tug. Additional Heaths from the Illinois Cyclone. Jacksonville, May 21.—The death of Mrs.- - I*. Griffin, of Liter, 111., was reported this morning, making the tenth victim of the recent cyclone.

RELIGION AND POLITICS. A Disposition to Disregard the Pope’s Circular Letter. Archbishop Oroke’s Views Unchanged—His Reception by the Pope Said to Have Been a Cordial One. Prussia’s I latest Note to the Vatican on the Clerical Question. Arrival and Reception of Foreign Embageies at Moscow—The Preparations for the Coronation.

THE POPE AND THE IRISH. A Chicago National League Denounces the Action of the Pope. Chicago, May 21.—At a meeting of the Third Ward Irish National League, of this city, on Saturday, several speakers denounced the action of the Roman pontiff. Patrick Meledv appeared to voice the sentiment of the 400 present, to judge by the applause. He said: “When the Pope becomes a politician he should be treated as such.” Patrick Egan, ex-treasurer of the Irish Land League, in touching upon the warning to the Irish clergy irom the Vatican, said: “I can only look upon it in the light of an insult to the common cause of the people, and so it will be regarded in Ireland.” The speaker declared that a few years ago, when the papacy was considered in danger, thousands of Ireland’s sons were ready to shed their blood in its defense, and the speaker was among those enrolled for “emigration to Italy,” as the phrase went, when the news of defeat at Spolatto brought a countermand. Mr. Walsh quoted the words of Archbishop McCabe, uttered fourteen years ago, that if the priests and people became divided it would not be the fault of the faithful people. “Twenty years ago,” said the speaker, “the circular might have had considerable effect in Ireland, but to-day the effect wfll be to hasten the dream of Thomas Davis of a union of the Orange and Green against the common enemy of Ireland.” Archbishop Croke and the Pope. Boston, May 21.—A special correspondent of the Pilot at Rome, writing May 8, says: “The report circulated here, and which possibly spread to America, to tne effect that the Bishop of Cashel, Ireland, has been summoned to Rome to be submitted to reproof for his conduct in regard to the national movement in Ireland is wholly devoid of foundation. The fact is Archbishop Crofce has been most courteously invited here as one whose position and knowledge give him special facilities for knowing the condition of the Irish people. The statements that Archbishop Croke has been received with distrust at the Propaganda, and that possibly he might be denied ar audience with the Pope are wholly at variance with the truth. The direct contrary is the case.” A London dispatch says: A correspondent of the Central News, at Paris, has had an interview with Archbishop Croke, in which the latter said lie returns to Ireland from Rome with unchanged and unchangeable views. He denied that lie had been rebuked by the Pope. He admitted, however, that at present his visit to Rome did not look very favorable to the national cause. The Pope Reiterates His Circular. Rome, May 21.—The papal propaganda has issued a supplemental circular to the Irish bishops enforcing the previous injunctions and containing answers to many priests who asked for advice on matters of conscience. The propaganda will shortly issue a circular quoting Cardinal Cullen to show that Rome has always opposed seditious associations. A Bargain with Delaney Denied. London, May 21.—1n the Commons, this afternoon, Porter, Attorney-general for Ireland, in reply to a question of Harrington, member for Westmeath, denied that Patrick Delaney, one of the Phauiix Park murderers, had pleaded guilty because of a previous agreement that his life would be spared if he would give evidence to criminate Timothy Kelly. Trevelyan, Chief Secretary for Ireland, stated that the government intended to abolish the office of special resident magistrate in Ireland. Consolidation Opposed by the Priests. Montreal, May 21.—'The proposed affiliation o£ the Irish societies of Montreal is opposed by the. Irish Catholic clergy. The reasons given are that while they would have no very great voice in conducting the affairs of the League they would be compelled to assume the responsibility for their action. The Montreal societies were not political, ami thus would be departing from their objects of charity and benefits, beside any action of theirs which verged upon disloyalty might call the Orange troubles of the oast into life. The Parnell Fund. London, May 21.—The fund for rarnell now amounts to £9,000. It has been decided to keep tlie subscription list open until £50,000 are raised. Several meetings were held in London yesterday, at winch nppeais for subscriptions to the fund were made. A Missing Steward Found. Castle Bar, Ireland, May 21.—The body of h steward named Quinn, who had been missine for four months, was found in the lake near here. A heavy chain was around the neck, showing that tie met his death by foul means. PRUSSIA AND THE VATICAN. The Former’s Latest Note on the Kceletlastical Question. Berlin, May 21.—The North German Gazette says the substance of Prussia’s latest note to the Vatican is as follows: Value i attached to giving notice of appointments contemplated because it, regards the notification to lie a question or honor, and the primary coudition of labor in common between the spiritual and temporal authorities. The government Is prepared to rescind the question of competency of the ecclesiastical court in regard to notifying of preferments and to dispense therewith altogether in the case of iinbeueficed clergymen, and thus remedy the present inadequate provision for the cure of tools. In conclusion the note all udes to the peaceful attitude of Prussia, and expresses the conviction that a settlement will be effected

INDIANAPOLIS, TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 22, 1883.

as soon as the curia has agreed to the matter of notification. The note has created a sensation. The Germania’s correspondent at Rome maintains that the Vatican has replied to Prussia’s note, endeavoring to return to the basis of negotiation which existed before the Bote was sent. He added that Baron Von Schloezer, in view of the bad impression created by the note, has already suggested a fresh basis of negotiation. THE CZAR'S CORONATION. Extraordinary Precautions Taken by the Police to Protect Him. Moscow, May 21.—The special embassy which will represent France at the coronation of the Czar, have arrived here. Windows from which views may be had of the principal ceremony on the day of the coronation are being rented at prices ranging from GOO to 1,000 roubles each. The police require persons hiring them to give satisfactory evidence as to their character, and will permit no one to occupy a window until proof is furnished that they have no suspicious articles on their persons. They have even forbidden the carrying of oranges into buildings from which a view may be obtained, as they fear sham articles containing dynamite and intended for use as bombs may get into houses and be used against the Czar. The Emperor and Empress have given a reception to the special foreign embassies here to attend the coronation. The weather is fine, and the city presents a brilliant and picturesque scene. Many delegates have arrived from Asia. The house of the Governor is covered with garlands of roses, plants and lamps. The Grand Duke Nicholas Alexandrovitch held a congress, on Monday, of representatives of the foreign press at the Grand Hotel. Wagonoff acts as a kind of censor. A few Eress representatives availed themselves of the ospicalities of the government for free board and lodging. Wagonoff conducted the press representatives through the cathedrals, the Kremlin and palace, passing by a quadrangle in the arsenal, between the Trattsa and Nicolai gate, where hundreds of pieces of artillery taken from foreign foes are arranged in rows. The banqueting hall in the palace is already decked with costly plate, chiefly eifts from foreign princes, and also the presents sent by Queen Elizabeth and Charles 11. in former years. PATRICK J. TYNAN. His Counsel Ready to Produce Him When Required—Some of “No. IV* Characteristics. fc*w York Herald. For months Mr. Tynan has been regarded, if not as a myth, certainly one whose existence was problematical. That Mr. Tynan—if there was such a person—was in America was generally conceded. But the man who had actually laid eyes on him in the flesh, was not to be found. It was asserted that the only delay in the arrest of Messrs. Sheridan and Walsh arose from the desire on the part of the British authorities to first put Mr. Tynan under lock and key; but that gentlemrfff wan not forthcoming. Mr. Tynan, however, has at length emerged from the gloom and obscurity in which lie has heretofore been hidden. True, he has not as yet manifested himself as a real existing entity, but the evidences of his existence are much stronger than those which Sairey Gamp could produce of the existence of her favorite authority. On Saturday, General Roger A. Pryor addressed a letter to Mr. Marbury, counsel for the British government, to the effect that Tynan would be produced whenever he may be demanded by the proper authority. In response, Mr. Marbury wrote that he had received no instructions for the arrest of Tynan, and adding that no warrant had been applied for. General Pryor was seen at his residence in Brooklyn last evening. When questioned as to Mr. Tynan he said: “You must really excuse me from saying anything in the matter at all. The relations existing between Mr. Tynan and myself are those of counsel and and it would be manifestly improper for me to say anything for publication concerning his case.” “But is it certain that Mr. Tynan is in the United States?” suggested the reporter. “Well, that is not an improper admission to make.” “And a resident of Brooklyn?” “Ah! Now you are getting upon delicate ground,” said the General, smiling. “You have seen and consulted with him?” “Oh, yes.” “Within a short time?” “I may say that I have only met Mr. Tynan within the past forty-eight lionrs.” “Has lie been here long?” “He has been here for at least a month —how much longer I am unable to say.” "Has he been in concealment?” “Not at all. lie has lived here quietly and unobtrusively, but under his own name, and with no attempt at concealment. He lias simply not paraded himself. He recently came to the conclusion, however, that it might come to be thought that he was skulking or hiding himself; lienee he himself suggested substantially a communication indicating his readiness to respond to any call. The letter shows tiiat it was written by his instruction. Among many other rather humorous things in connection with the case.” pursued the General smilingly, “is the fact that a short time ago ami when Mr. Tynan was here, the London Times ami other papers published, and it was cabled here, a story to the effect that he was in London and anxious to turn informer.” “What sort of a man is Mr. Tynan?” “He is a singularly intelligent, modest, quiet and reserved gentleman, to whom newspaper notoriety in any connection would be distasteful. His tastes are scholarly and refined. His appearance is more that of an Englishman than an Irishman, and the same may be said of bis accent. He is a man of deep thought and convictions, and when lie once makes up his mind is not ensilv turned from his purpose. He dresses genteelly.” General Pryor was shown a wood engraving of Tynan, published recently in the London Graphic from a photograph taken two years airo, in which the alleged head of the Invincibles is shown as a man of full face, pleasant features, with a wide forehead, bushy, full beard, and wearing eye-glasses. "Is that anything like him, General?” was asked. ‘“Very like, very like, indeed,” responded the General. “Has he any family?” “Oli, yes; a wife and eight children. His wife Is as refined, ladylike, intelligent, accomplished a lady as you would expect to meet in any parlor.’* General l’rvor added that Mr. Tynan’s full name was Patrick Joseph Percy Tynan. What business he was engaged in the General did not know. As to whetherhe thought the course which Mr. Tynan had pursued in remaining in retirement was a wise one the General declined to express an opitMtut, kut

said that he was shortly to have a talk with Mr. Tynan and would then learn from him whether he was desirous of making a public statement. Mr Marbury was asked yesterday whether he knew anything os to the truth or falsity of a cable dispatch which asserted that American counsel here hud expressed an opinion as to the sufficiency of the evidence, upon which the demand for the extradition of Sheridan, Walsh and Tynan was based. “So far as I know,” he replied, “no such ■ advice has ever been asked or given. For myself I certainly have not expressed such an opinion.” “Is there any truth in the statement,” Consul-general Booker was asked, “that the steamship Parthia brought over the evidence against, Sheridan, Walsh or Tynan?” “I have no knowledge,” responded the Consul-general, “that any such evidence has either arrived or is expected.” CHAMBORD’S ILLNESS. An Event Which May Have Far-Reaching Consequences. Paris Special. The illness of the Comte de Chambord, one of those political events which in themselves seem unimportant, may have grave and farreaching consequences. Roports differ greatly as to the seriousness of his illness. Accordto some accounts he is suffering from a complication due to organic disease of the heart, and his life is despaired of. According to others he is only troubled by what is popularly known as coup du fouet. ora rupture of a tendon of the leg, a disagreeable accident which care and time may remedy. Both the friends and the enemies of the present regime are watching events at Goritz with an anxiety which they would willingly conceal. If the mere publication of Jerome's crazy manifesto led to the overthrow of the cabinet and weeks of wild though unintelligible agitation, what may not be expected of an event which would make the Comte de Paris (who, with his brother, the Due de Chartres, served as an aide-de-camp to McClellan) sole royalist rival of the republic—a rival who, far from being “impossible,” like the present head of the Bourbon family, has already been accepted in advance by numbers of Frenchmen discouraged and disappointed by the errors of the ministries that have lately followed each other in such rapid succession. The illness of Count de Chambord, reported and denied, is real and serious enough, although not dangerous. He is suffering front an injury to his leg, which will require good treatment for at least a month. A Paris dispatch says: “Count de Chambord’s condition is worse, in consequence of the fatigue of the journey from Gorz to Frobsdorf. general foreign news. Stanley Evacuates His Position, and Avoids a Conflict. Paris, May 21.—There is no fear of a collision between Henry M. Stanley and Debrazza, the former having evacuated certain positions which he had occupied under the impression that they were outside of Mako’s territory. Re*p**et for Law Required. Vannes, May 21.—'Waldeck-Rosseau, Minister of the Interior, in a speech, yesterday, protested against the charge that the government wishes to attack the principles of liberty or conscience. The government, he said, had no intention of exercising persecution. It only requires that citizens should show respect for law. The American Indemnity to Be Paid. Madrid, May 21.—The government has agreed to pay the American indemnity. Provision will be made in the Cuban budget for upward of $526,000, being the remainder of the award fixed by the Washingtom commission. A German Village Burned. Berlin, May 21.—The village of Neuenkerschen was totally destroyed by fire to-day. Even fruit trees and wooden crosses in the churchyard were burned. The entire population of 1,300 is homeless. Cable Notes. Arthur Matheisen, the well-known author, is dead. The Marquis of Orovic, leader of the Conservative party in the Spanish Senate, is dead. The employee in Bolckow, Vaughan & Co.’s iron-works, at Middleborough, are on a strike because of a reduction of wage?. Four thousand persons are affected. The village of Longefov, in Savoy, has been almost entirely destroyed by fire, only four buildings remaining standing. Four hundred persons are made homeless by the fire, Slianga, arrested for the murder, at Ofett, on March 28. of Count Von Majlath Von Szekliely, presidept of the Hungarian Court of Cassation, made a full confession of bis guilt. A memorial monument to Burke, assassinated iii Phoenix Park, lias been placed in position in Glasnevin cemetery, Dublin. The police *vill guard it. The magistrates erected the monument Fenille, the French ex-Minister of Justice, has been successful in securing a repeal of the decision of the committee of the Chamber of Deputies depriving French ecclesiastics of their stipends. The reactionary utterances of the Count de Chambord lend credibility to the rumor that he intends to make his son, Don Carlos, heir to his claims as King of France, to the exclusion of the Orleanist princes. A so-called workingman’s congress, held at Paris, on Sunday, ended with a general fight. One man was stabbed and several others, including Jofferin, a member of the municipal council, otherwise injured. Fresh seals have been affixed to the door of the chapel at Marseilles belonging to the former Jesuit college. The bishop has protested against this action. The strength of the police in the vicinity of the chapel has been doubled. The Pall Mall Gazette states that the Gov-ernor-generalship of Canada, in succession to the Marquis of Lome, has been offered to the Murquisof Lansdowne, who has accepted. Lansdowne will probably sail for Canada next October. The presentation of a gift to the Crown Prince Frederick William by ninety-one towns of Prussia, in celebrution of the twenty-fifth anniversary of his mnrriage, took place on Sunday in the White Hall of the royal palace, the burgomaster of Berlin delivering the presentation address. PitUbiirg Miners Return to Work. Pittsburg, May 21.—Nearly nil the railroad coal mines resumed to-day at three cents as the mining rate, pending settlement of the wage question by the operators’ and minefV trades tribunal. About 4,000 minors returned to work.

ANOTHER GOOD SELECTION. The Name of Mr. Kauin’s Successor at Last Made Known. non. Walter Evans, of Kentucky, Nominated Commissioner of Internal Revenue—Sketch of the Nominee. Stories About Mysterious Movements of Troops at Washington. The British Minister’s House Said to Have Been Guarded on Two Occasions by Men from the Barracks.

COMMISSIONER EVANS. Hon. Walter Evans, of Louisville, Appointed to Mr. Raum’s Vacant Place. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, May 21.—The President has nominated Hon. Walter Evans, of Louisville, to be Commissioner of Internal Revenue. The appointment of Mr. Evans was another of the surprises the President is so fond of giving the country occasionally. Mr. Evans’s name had not been mentioned in the press, and nobody in Washington appeared to have thought of him in connection with the place. Mr. Evans is comparatively unknown in the East, but without exception the Southern and Western people say that he is just the man for the office. Mr. Evans is a man whose reputation is without blemish. He is a lawyer, about forty-one years old. He served as lieutenant in the Federal army during the war, was elected member of the Legislature from Christian county in 1871, and senator from the same.county in 1873. Four years ago he was nominated for Governor on the Republican ticket, and made the canvass of the State, receiving a good vote. He is a quiet, unassuming, clear-beaded, Christian gentleman, and it is believed here that he will make a capable and efficient Commissioner. He served through the war, and has been in the forefront of the political struggles of his State ever since he was old enough to be an active participant. He is a man of decided convictions, and is what is termed a “fighter.” His nature is not entirely devoid of knobs and horns, and his political opponents sometimes run against them and get hurt. Mr. Evans’s strongest backing is said to have been Post-inaster-eeneral Gresham, who has been intimately acquainted with him from boyhood. It is very generally believed that the new man will make a first class Commissioner. Although from Kentucky, he is not identified in any form with the whisky interest. Mr. Evans was at one time the law partner of Beniamin 11. Bristow, in Hopkinsville, Ky., and was a Bristow man at the convention of 1876. In 1880 he was a delegate at large to the Chicago convention, and one of the 306 who supported General Grant’s candidacy. He has not heretofore held office, although he has had considerable influence in the distribution of Federal patronage in Kentucky. The new appointee qualified and was sworn in to-day at Louisville. The occasion for this haste being that the ten days for which the acting Commissioner of Internal Revenue could be appointed expired to-day. MYSTERIOUS MOVEMENTS. Report that on Two Occasion** the British Embassy Has Been Closely Guarded. Washington Special. There has been some speculation here recently with regard to certain mysterious movements of the authorities. These movements began with the agitation of the extradition of Sheridan and Walsh. The first story that found its way into print was to the effect that a number of men at the Washington barracks were set aside for special service, and were practically under arms with orders for any emergency. This being on the day Brady was hung was naturally connected in the public mind with the event. An enlisted man at the barracks now tells the following: “I don’t know who let the story out, but it is a fact that men are kept ready to go out at a moment’s notice. There is something else, however, that does not appear to be known by every one, and that is that on the night after Brady was hung, a dozen of us were ordered to put on citizens’ clothes, and revolvers and ammunition were issued to each. We were then ordered to report at the British minister’s house on Connecticut avenue, and did so, spending the entire night. The same thing happened the night Curley was hung, and the men detailed were out all night. No. we had no orders beyond that wc were ordered to report at a given time, and we found an officer there, who was also in citizens’ clot lies, who took command of tlie detail. I noticed that only native Americans were selected for the detail. We were treated very comfortably while at the lecatioti.” This somewhat extraordinary story appears in print to-day. While there is no means of extracting the truth about the matter from the hermetically sealed lips of the officials who are able to pass upon its truth or falsity, it is definitely known that some such extraordinary precautions have been taken by the authorities. The Secretary of Wur is quoted as saying that measures had been taken to prevent any disgrace ever attaching to this government by reason of the resentment of any class of people against the representatives of a foreign government. At the barracks there nre a number of soldiers who are under special orders, the purport of which they do not know and care nothing to understand. The impression is slowly creeping out that the Secretary of War has come into possession of facts which justifies such additional precautions as would seem to have been taken. These facts are believed to be based upon threats received from the dynamite faction in this country, both at the English legation and the White House. Os course, it is well understood that the character of such threats of violence would be scrupulously kept from the public,

PRICE FIVE CENTS.

as their publicity would tend to ageravat* the e.vil and prevent it being successfully combated. It is believed in certain quarter? that a number of anonymous letters and messages of a threatening character from crank Irishmen abroad and at home have been received of late bv President Arthur, as well as by the British minister, to the effect that dire destruction is the only thing left for those who demand and execute the death warrants of the accused Irishmen by returning them to suffer the penalty of the alleged infraction of English law. The mystery thrown around these cases by our State Department and the legation and the contradictory statements emanating from these headquarters tend to strengthen the belief that something is in the undercurrent not yet comprehended by the general public. A prominent Irish leader declared to a correspondent group to-day that President Arthur dare not for his life send these men to the tyrannical British authorities to suffer condemnation and death from packed juries, and this, no matter what the evidence brought up here against them. THE STAR-ROUTE TRIAL. Attorney Ingersoll Gives Another Install roenfc of Argument Washington, May 21.—Before the resumption of regular proceedings in the star-route case, Mr. Wilson, said he understood the government had required his client, ex-Sen-ator Kellogg, to appear in court to-morrow, to answer to a charge of misdemeanor. Mr. Kellogg was now in New Orleans under bonds, and it was unjust to require his attendance under such notice. The court said it would answer the purpose if Mr. Kellogg appeared on Monday, June 18. Mr. Ingersoll then resumed his address with a bitter assault on Moore’s evidence, which, he said, bad been bargained for in the open shambles. He asked Mr. Merrick if Moore did not refuse to goon the stand until an agreement had been made for Boone’s immunity. Mr. Merrick replied by an emphatic denial of any knowledge of such an agreement. Mr. Ingersoll then reviewed tho testimony of Rerdell; then took up the evidence of witness Gibbs, and had not concluded his address when court adjourned. GENERAL AND PERSONAL. The Ocean Mail Service Between America and Australia. Washington, May 21.—Robert J. Creighton, special postal commissioner for New Zealand, had a final interview with the Post-master-general to-day in relation to the continuance of the Pacific Mail service between San Francisco and New Zealand and Australia, which he says was quite as satisfactory as he could have expected. The Postoffice Department now thoroughly understands the question, and is fully impressed with the importance of the service to the commerce of the country. Although no promise was made involving public policy, Mr. Creighton is satisfied that the terms of* his report will decide tho New Zealand government to continue the service. The latest advices from tne colonies, he said, intimate grave doubts as to whether New South Wales would join in the subsidy at all, but that would not interfere with the course New Zealand would take in the matter. The Southern Pacific Land Claim. Washington, May 21.—The Southern Pacific Railroad Company has recently made application to the Secretary of the Interior for the lands originally granted to the Texas Pacific Railroad Company for the construetiod of its road. These lands are claimed by virtue of an assignment from the Texas Pacific company, which has failed to construct the road for which the grant was made. A decision will not be reached in the case for several days, but there is reason to believe that when it*is rendered, it will be adverse to the claim of the. Southern Pacific company. The grant of land in dispute aggregates between 17,000,1X30 and 18,000,000 acres. Stocking Up “tlie Barrel." Washington, May 21.—The American Kegister, of this city, published a story that Frank Leslie’s paper sent here some time ago and got pictures of all the leading correspondents, promising to publish them. Some time passed and only one was published, and when inquiry was made as to the cause the response was that they would be published when the journalists in question died. Notes ami Personalities. Washington, May 21.—The Comptroller o 4 the Currency authorized the Cleveland Na tional Bank, of Cleveland, 0., to begin busi ness. Capital. $350,000. The investigation of the charges agains Supervising Architect Hill will probably begin to-morrow. Secretary Folger says h believes Mr. March has his case prepared anc is ready to proceed. In the case of one Reeside, an ex-con tractor, who disputes the right of the Post office Department to charge him, in subso quent contracts, for a partial failure in pro ceding ones, for which he has already beer paid, Judge Lawrence Ims decided that the department has no right to carry over lines or parts of fines from one contract to another. The President appointed Samuel W. Ferguson, of Mississippi, member of the Mississippi river commission, vice James B. Eads, resigned. The President will probably leave Washington to-morrow afternoon for New York to witness the opening of the New York and Brooklyn bridge, lie will he accompanied by Secretary Folger, Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Chandler, Postmaster-general and Mrs. Gresham, and Attorney-general and Mrs. Brewster. Tho regular annual conference of division superintendents of the railway mail service was organized a# tlie Postoffice Departmenl to-day. The most important work of the conference will be the revision of railway mail regulations. “Phil.” Thompson reached Washington the other night, and was seen on the streets today in a cool summer suit, the same quiet, sel f-nossessed man as ever—the last man who would he picked out in a crowd as one who had just killed another and had only a few hours before emerged troni his trial. Thompson embodies tho Kentucky idea-—quiet, good-natured, an agreeable man to meet, one of the most amiable and popular young men in Congress, but with a revolver latent. Private advices reaching hero regarding the condition of Senator Anthony are to the elTect that ho eats well, sleeps pretty well, walks to his desk and looks over his papers, and dictates letters which lie signs. At his aue, however, there are grave doubts whether he will be able to occupy his place in the Senate again. The health of Montgomery Blair gives hil friends much concern.
