The Son of Boston's Ex-Mayor Arrested on His Father’s Advice. Boston, Nov. 26.—Quite a sensation has been caused by the fiery and seemingly cowardly action on Monday of Frederick Prince, son of exMayor Prince, of the Democratic national committee, in striking down Mr. F. A. Messenger, the senior member of the well-known Washine-ton-street firm of Messenger Bros. & Jones. Tlie assault, which was unprovoked, has caused Mr. Messenger, who is between sixty and seventy years of age, to bo confined to his home in Melrose. He has had a spinal trouble for several years, and his fall under the blow dealt him by Prince has produced an aggravation of the old trouble. Pending his recovery the .matter will rest until Friday, when it will come up in the Criminal Court, but, in the meantime, the local papers will avoid publishing the facts. Messenger Bros. & Jones about eighteen months ago made a pair of riding Dreeches for young Prince. About a year ago Prince was married to Miss Norman, she getting the blueblood and he the money. Her dower was SIOO, 000. They went to Europe, and Prince was never asked to pay for the breeches till three months ago. Two months ago he was ‘‘dunned” again, and on Monday a collector was sent with the message that if there was anything unsatisfactory about the breeches another pair would bo made, but. if there was not the bill would have to be paid at once. When young Prince heard this lie rushed out of his office, took a hack and drove to the firm's store. The first person he met inside was the senior partner, to whom he said. ‘‘What did you mean by sending such an insoldnt message to me?” Mr. Messenger said he didn't know anything about it. He inquired, however, and the said that he thought the message quite Justifiable. “Do you know what you are, Messenger 1" demanded Prince. t “I don’t know what you mean,” the old gentleman replied; ‘‘l have known your father from youth and it doesn’t become you to addtess me In that way. ” “You are a damned insignificant tailor,” said Prince, and ho followed his remark up with a blow, which felled Mr. Messenger to the floor. The latter's brother rushed to his rescue, but. having just recovered from an attack of diptheria he was very weak, and Prince chased him twice around the store. An employe then came forward and said to the excited young man, "Do you realize what you have done?” “I will clean you all out,” he replied, and sprang at the clerk, hitting him a heavy blow in the faep. Prince then left the Btore without his hat, Stepped into his hack and was driven home. When the senior partner recovered from his blow a little he called upon ex Mayor Prince and related the whole story, but omitted his assailant’s name. He asked Mr. I’rineo what he .would do under the circumstances. “Do!” said he. “I would have the young scoundrel arrested without delay.” Mr. Messenger then told Mr. Prince that his assailant was his son. Mr. Prince seized his hat and darted out, saying, “I will see him at once.” Mr. Messenger followed the advice and had young Prince arrested. Efforts have been made to induce Messenger not to prosecute, but he has declined all offers of compromise, ft is reported that Young Mrs. Prince is almost insane on account of the dis- : grace she feels her husband has brought upon tho family. Murdered by a Private Watchman. Cincinnati, 0.. Nov. 27.—Joseph Davis was arrestsd to night for the murder of Henri Heitman, last Sunday' night. The affair occurred during the progress of a ball at the Lookout House. Davis was a private policeman, and a difficulty between him and Heitman took place, when the regular police ejected the latter. A few minutes afterwards Davis approached Heitman and crushed his skull by a blow with a club. It is said the assault was witnessed by the policemen who ejected Heitman. but Davis was not arrested at the time. Heitman died to-day, and the arrest was made in another part of the city. Fire at Allentown, Pa. Allentown, Pa.. Nov 27.—The building occupied by Sehlegel, Siegenfuss & Cos., and Rutter <fe Boyer, as a furniture factory and glaning-mill, was burned to day.

A FRENCH WOMAN’S REVENGE A Startling Tragedy Which Caused a Profound Sensation in Paris.

Paris, Nov. 27.—A tragedy which caused a great sensation occurred here to-day. The wife of'Deputy Clovis Hugucs. with a revolver, shot and killed Morin, a commission agent, at the Palais de Justice, because he had slandered her. She fired six shots at her victim, four of which lodged in his chest Hughes, who approved his wife's action, together with Madame Hugue3 was arrested. Last year Hugues and wifo prosecuted Morin for defamation of character, and secured a sentence of two years imprisonment Morin, however, by a system of dilatory motions, carried the case from court to court Madame Hugues became angry, and to-day, hearing that the Assize Court of the Soine would grant another adjournment of a fortnight, proceeded thither, and upon the court rising for luncheon, Madame Hugucs, her husband and counsel, in descending the staircase, met Morin, when the tragedy ensued. After Madame Hugues had been arrested, wliich was immediately after the assault, she declared to the commissary of police that she hoped she had killed the man who, during the past two years, had been killing her by inches by his atrocious calumnies. Deputy Hugues was released. He states that Morin continued to send insulting letters and postal cards to Madame Hugues. Mrs. Hugues says she would long ago have killed Morin but for her husband dissuading her therefrom. Morin had declared that Mrs. Hugues. previous to her marriage, was the mistress of oue Lenaormont, whose wife was trying to obtain a separation. After Morin was wounded he wrote a declaration of innocence. The public is enthusiastic over tho conduct of Madame Hugues, whose acquittal is expected. THK TONQUIN CREDITS. Another Warm Debate in the French Chambers—The Ministry Sustained. Paris, Nov. 27.—1n the Chamber of Deputies M. Leroy read a report from the Tonquin commission advising the chamber to adopt the Tonquin credits, and urging the necessity that exists for occupying the provinces in the north of Tonquin. [Cheers, and signs of dissent.] The Chamber then passed the vote of urgency and pronounced for an immediate discussion. Clemenceau thereupon attacked the government, and denounced the Ministers whose optimism had committed so many diplomatic and military faults Bince the signing of the Tien-Tsin convention. He said Minister Ferry had committed a veritable political crimo in refusing to make peace upon the basis of that convention, and in declining the Chinese indemnity of 3,500,000 taels. France, Clemenceau said, did wrong in accepting the mediation of England, for the latter’s disinterestedness was open to suspicion. He said Bismarck was a most dangerous enemy, but was still more dangerous as a friend. It was necessary to beware, lest French dignity and honor should be compromised. Clemenceau ipsisted that peace with China was still possible, and expressed the belief that M. Ferry's version of the Chinese terms was inacurate. M. Ferry here protested at being insulted. Clemenceau concluded by saying that if tho Chamber desired a policy of action, it ought to vote sufficient credits to enable the government to declare war now, and not postpone the capture of Pekin until after the elections. The faults that had been hitherto committed by isolated persons, if continued, will become the faults of the Republican party. Goblet, while disavowing the actions of the government, said that he would vote for the credits, but feared that they would only serve to prolong the present state of things. The government, he said, was unable to make peace, and it refused to demand means to make war. Peyron, Minister of Marine, explained that the credits of last year were only 72,000.000 francs, and that those for the next year will be 86.000,000 francs. This will enable the government to dispatch 5,000 troops to ToDquin to reinforce the French army, and send several cruisers to reinforce the navy. The Charabor then voted the first credit of 16,000,000 francs.by 361t010G, and afterward, by a vote of 351 to 179, voted the fresh credit of 4!),000.000 francs. The order of the day, being an expression of confidence in the government, was then adopted without opposition. Afterward the order of the day, pure and simple, was rejected—--301 to 233. Preparing for a Long Campaign. Paris, Nov. 27.—The Figaro announces that Gen. Briere De I’lsle will replace Thomson as Governor general of Cochin China, and that Gen. Negrier becomes commanding superior of Tonquin. Admiral Reunier will command the Indo-Chinese flotilla These changes are preparatory to an exhaustive attempt to clear Tonquin of Chinese. The depots of admission at the French ports are feverish with activity. The ironclads La Perouse, Avaso and Lugan, and the gunboat Sagittaire are about sailing to join Admiral Courbet's fleet. One of Ferry’s Statements Denied. London, Nov. 27.—The Times is authorized to deny the statement made by Prime Minister Ferry before the French Chamber of Deputies, that, just as China was about to accept the terms offered by France througli United States Minister Young, Marquis Tseng informed the Pekin government that France desired peace at any price, and that upon that statement China demanded such preposterous conditions that no power was willing to mediate. Marquis Tseng did nothing to influence China iu tho matter. TAXATION IN GERMANY. The Treasury Authorities Report the Financial Situation Unsatisfactory. Berlin, Nov. 27.—1n the Reichstag, to-day, the budget for 1885 was discussed. Herr Burchard, Secretary ot the Treasury, in submitting his estimates, admitted that tile financial exhibit was not satisfactory. Tho revenue from several sources had dwindled unexpectedly, notably from the beet sugar industry, tho decrease in

which amounted to 21,000,000 marks. He said it was impossible to expect any increase of revenue from the sugar industry at present. The revenue from tobacco had also dwindled 3,000,000 marks during the year. He said that if tho pension laws and the ocean-steamer subvention hill passed the Reichstag, additional financial burdens upon the budget wou'd probably ensue, which must bo faced, especially as the financial condition of the country is not satisfactory. Burchard was unable to say whether the government was prepared t*> introduce any fresh taxation bills, since the Reichstag had rejected so many former propos als. As, however, a reduction of the estimate was surely impossible, it behooved the House to devote itself earnestly to a reform of taxation. Herr Scholz declared that as the government's proposals were invariably rejected, it was the duty of the Reichstag to declare what taxation is opportune. The situation, Scholz said, does not involve too formidable a demand upon the tax-payers. Richter, in behalf of the new German Liberals, objected to all fresh taxation upon tlie people. Herr Benda, in behalf of tho National Liberals. refused to initiate any imposts, and stated that they would only vote in favor of actual requirements. The debate was adjou-ned till tomorrow. LORD CHURCHILL. Disgusted with Politics, the Young Tory Leader Will Travel for a Season. London, Nov. 27.—Lord Randolph Henrv Churchili, the dashing young Tory leadei in the House of Commons, who must be well remembered in society circles by his marriage to the daughter of Mr. Leonard Jerome, is about to visit America. He expresses himself as tired of English politics, and proposes to leave England the 3d proximo for a tour around the world, visiting America, Australia, Egypt, and India on His way. Things have not gone smoothly with Lord Randolph in political matters since the beginning of the present session. He is the most implacable as well as the most audacious of the leaders of tlie Opposition, and he formed a brilliant plan of attack which ho believed would drive the present government out of pow’er by dividing its supporters. The idea was to split the Liberal party iu two, or to resolve it into its component parts by arraying the Whigs agaipst tiie Radicals. To this end he made a furious attack upon the Rt.-Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, the radical member of the Cabinet, accusing him of employing roughs to break up Conservative mass-meet-ings, and of suborning perjured testimony to escape responsibility for his acts. The fight was brought to an issue by Lord Randolph's morion for a vote of censure against Mi'. Chamberlain for inciting riots. Lord Randolph believed that he had made out his case. He counted on a full Tory vote in support of his motion, and hoped to get enough straggling votes among tho Whig liberals to give him a majority. His disgust can, therefore, be imagined when not only the Whigs voted solidly with the Radicals in support of the government, but no less than eighty of the'Tories either dodged the vote or walked meekly into the Liberal lobby. Os course tho motion was defeated, and Mr. Chamberlain, who had in the meantime made peace with his old enemies, the ship owners, remained master of the situation. Still Lord Randolph was not wholly disheartened. He believed that the House of Lords could be made to reject the government's pet measure of extending the franchise, and thus force a dissolution and an appeal to the country. In the Conservative caucuses Lord Randolph Churchill's voice was always the loudest for war. The older heads of his party, such as Lord Salisbury and Sir Stafford Northcote, let him talk, and even applauded his patriotic and’vehement eloquence. But in the meantime they were quietly parleying with the enemy, nndafter a few closet consultations between Lord Salisbury and Mr. Gladstone it was formally announced that a compromise had been effected, and that both the franchise and redistribution bills would be passed. This disgusted Lord Randolph, and lie began to conclude that the country was not worth saving. He determined, however, to make one more stand on the issue of “fair trade” versus “free trade.” The election at Hackney for a successor to the late Mr. Fawcett precipitated tlie fight, and Lord Randolph zealously supported Mr. McAllister, who is an avowed protectionist. Most of tho electors, however, supported Prof. Stewart, a rabid free-trader, and he was returned by a handsome majority. Since the Hackney election British politics have lost their charm for Lord Randolph. He has decided on a course of foreign travel, and has concluded not even to wait for the rising of Parliament or the Christmas holidays. He sails on next Wednesday, and will have hosts of friends, to wish him bon voyage, for, outside of politics, he is one of the most, genial gentlemen of whom even England can boast. THANKSGIVING IN BERLIN. Two Hundred and Seventy Americans Abroad Celebrate tbe Day with a Banquet. Berlin, Nov. 27.—Two hundred and seventy Americans were present at the Thanksgiving banquet in this city to-night. Herr Stuckenberg asked grace. United States Minister Kasson called for three cheers for Grover Cleveland, the next President of the United States, which were heartily given. A telegram was sent to Gov. Cleveland,informing him that the Americans in Berlin drank to his health. Minister Kasson also proposed the health of the beloved Emperior William, of Germany, in response to which the German national anthem was played by a band. Herr Kreisman referred to the American love of home, to which Mr. Conroy replied iu a humorous speech. General Sanford related his impres sion upon his first visit to Berlin some years ago and, contrasted tlie present great changes from that time. He thought that Americans who were able to live in Berlin were fortunate people, and closed proposing tho health of the American consulate. Henry M. {Stanley was called upon and received with tumultuous applause. He humorously alluded to tho unfavorable opinions and hostility he encountered at the beginning of his explorations and compared them with the present general approval. He attributed his success to the unvarying disregard of self, and said he intended to continue to live on that principle. Herr Kreismann toasted Minister Kasson in warm terms, to which Mr. Kasson appropriately replied. A grand ball followed the banquet. EGYPTIAN FINANCES. Tlie New Loan for Egypt—How the Money Will Be Applied. London, Nov. 27.—80th the Times and the Standard think the loan of £5.000,000, which England offers to raise and guarantee, will be applied to payment of the governmental expenses of Egypt, and that the Alexandria indemnities will be covered by the proposed issue of £5,000,000 preference stock, with Egyptian security. The interest upon England's shares in the Suez canal will be reduced one quarter per cent., the Egyptian government taking the management of the domain lands, whose revenues will be paid into the Bank of England as security for the loan, on which England guarantees 3j per cent. A reduction of the unified interest will be necessary to pay the interest upon the new preference loan, Bismarck has been officially notified of the propositions of England for a settlement of the Egyptian debt, and that they have been also re ferred to the other financial colleagues for a conference thereupon. FOREIGN MISCELLANY. Death of Fanny Elssler, tlie Once Beautiful and Famous Dancer. London, Nov. 27. Fanny Elssler is dead. Fanny Elssler was born in Vienna in 1811, and educated at Naples for the ballet, along with her elder sister, Theresa. The first triumph of the sisters took place at Berlin, where they appeared [Continued on Second I’agc.j

POLITICS OF TIIE PRESENT. How Hendricks Has Been Playing Snake in the Grass Toward Cleveland. The Hoosier’s Pretensions a Subject of Amusement in New York—A Hack Seat Provided for His Occupancy. Good Advice to People Who May Have Business with the President-Elect. Gen. Logan Attribntes Republican Defeat to tbe Alliterative Burcbard—Joint Kelly's Paper on Civil-Service Reform. HENDRICKS’S PRETENSIONS. Mortification at Having; to Play Second Fiddle—A Back Seat Ready for iiim. Albany Letter in Chicago News. The recent pranks and pretensions of Thomas A. Hendricks do not surprise the Democrats of this section. It was known long before the Chicago convention that this Hoosier trickster was trafficking for the first place on the ticket. Mr. Tildcn had given out that feebleness of constitution forbade him undertaking the hardships of another campaign. Much as tho Sago of Greystone desired a vindication of the “great fraud,” he valued his health more than the presidency, and exhibited a natural desire that his declining years should be rounded off with that peace and quietness which only can be found among troops of friends in the calm of private life. Political ambition, however, never deserts Hendricks, who was iinxious that all tho glory attending any “vindication” should fall upon him, and lie was willing to take any steps which might secure him tho presidential nomination. When the convention expressed its decided preference for Cleveland, the self-esteem of Hendricks was staggered for the moment, ft was with ill-concealed mortification that he accepted the second place: but, having accepted, he set to work to raise himself on a pedestal of political pretensions, and to be little tho man whom the united Democracy had honored as its chief. Tho tactics that this pestiferous Hoosier employed are known to everyone who watched the campaign closely. He cauio East with a flourish of trumpets. He took rooms at tho Grand Union Hotel, at Saratoga. lie gathered interviewers about him and discussed tlie character and antecedents of Governor Cleveland with a familiarity bordering on contempt. His tongue was ever ready to wag upon delicate topics. He made more of tbe Maria Ilalpin story than all the Blaine newspapers combiued. It was mentioned in all his conversations. His opinion about it was given gratuitously to every Tom, Dick and Harry whom lie happened to meet. And, whilo pretending to be horror-struck by the way in which the story was being used, ho left tho unpleasant impression that he gloated over its circulation and saw in it a chance for a Pecksniffiau comparison between Cleveland and himself. Ilis behavior at the notification ceremony also showed a desire to overshadow Cleveland. The President-elect received the notification committee in the parlors of the executive mansion. There was no display—no snl Everything, even the subsequent collation, was characterized with tho simplicity born of good taste and true Democratic principles. Hendricks, however, looked upon his notification as a grand opportunity for pomp and ceremony. His private rooms were not big enough for his overwhelming pride. He was content with nothing less than the large, elaborately furnished parlors of the Grand Union, crowded with ladies n summer attire, and arranged on the plan of a gorgeous dramatic tableau. His speecn was a masterpiece of self-con-sciousuess. He pictured himself as Vice-presi-dent. deciding questions of awful moment Others might regard tho Vice-presidency as more of an ornamental than useful office, but lie intended it to be a living, potential reality. He dwelt upon the responsibilities of tho office, intimating that its weighty duties would be discharged by him witn a punctilious regard to the “expectations and requirements of tlie people.” The ceremony was a rare show in every sense of the term, and Hendricks puffed and strutted to the full extent of his immense capacity. Next came his visit to Governor Cleveland, in Albany. Hendricks had never met Cleveland. He said, patronizingly, that he guessed tho Governor would meet all his expectations—that Cleveland's record was fairly good, and hinted that, with his valuable aid, tho federal government could bo run to the satisfaction of the De mocracy. Thoy met, and were closeted together for several hours. What took place at this conference Dan Manning, Governor Cleveland, Dan Lament, and Mr. Hendricks alone can tell. The interview did not make any perceptible change in Cleveland, and it did not check the current of the Hoosier's verbosity. Hendricks was glibber than ever. He thought Mr. Cleveland a very nice gentleman. He regretted that Maria Halpin had been dragged into the campaign, and was readier than ever with apologies for his colleague’s offenses. Tho idea gained strength in his mind that he could carry Cleveland on his shoulders. He displayed a zealous alacrity to assume all the burdens and responsibilities of the campaign. He jumped at every suggestion of Cleveland’s withdrawal. Ho wrote a letter seriously discussing a proposition of that kind, and mistook tlie avalanche of abuse it brought upon him as an evidence of unbounded popularity. He twitted Cleveland with taHmess in issuing his letter of acceptance, saying to every casual acquaintance: “What's the uso of fussing about his letter? Tliden and I made short work of the matter in 1870. My letter can be ready in five minutes. 1 don’t intend to waste time here waiting for Cleveland’s letter.” Ho did not wait in Saratoga for the letter. He went to New York in a huff, and subsequently to Indiana, where his own brief epistle was indited and sent forth to the country. Hendricks is perfectly well understood here. His pretensions are laughed at and his arrogance will not go unrobuked. He will find out soon enough that he is a mere figurehead, and that his partin the new administration will be con fined strictly to tho duties of Vice-president and all the insignificance that pertains thereto. He will soon experience that a back seat is con ducive to his personal comfort, and that Gov. Cleveland is no more in accord with his preposterous Bourbon notions than he is witli tho Blaineish corruption he was elected to rebuke. DON'T INSIST. # Advice to People Who May Have Business with the President’-Elect. F. D. M., In Cinriuuftti Commercial Gazette. Congressman Money, of Mississippi, is reported as saying that the South will insist upon having two Cabinet places. Now, my idea of Mr. Cleveland is that anybody or any section that comes around him insisting upon anything will get left. The great caravan of Democratic seekers after consolation and spoils who go up and down the Hudson or sit here with tentacles outstretched gave me that iucaof Mr. Cleveland. Let me drop that warning to thousands of Democratic patriots bouud this way. When you meet the President elect do not insist upon anything, or if you feel like doing so, edge around and get a look at that neck. All the evidence now in points to the fact that tho worst tiling you can do with Cleveland is to insist. What over you do, don't insist. A Now Jersey party, full of prido and joy and things, wcut up tq Al-

bany last week to notify Grover that New Jersey wanted Mr. Stockton in the Cabinet, and they insisted; and the way they were sat down upon was a caution to insisters. Again, as great and glorious a personage as-Tilos. A. Hendricks w ent up to Albany ami insisted on having something to say about the Cabinet, and in five minutes, figuratively speaking, Thomas was flattened out to a shadow’ under the powerful posterior of the ex-sheriff of Buffalo* It is funny to see tlie erreat Democratic leaders, painted and plumed, and full of importance, going up to Albany to tell “this man of ours’’ how the thing must be done. And after they have met “this man of ours,” and have found that he has a head like a bull, and a neck like Dan Voorliees’ thigh, and a backbone like a telegraph pole, they come back here like busted bladders or squeezed lemons, and sadly tell about their w’oes over a little red-eye in Ned Stokes’, if they are able to stand twenty cents a drink, and if not they go around to a ton-cent house in Sixth avenue. Last night I heard the expression “this man Cleveland,” and you may set down the cussing of Cleveland as already begun. The red sunsets will be nothing compared with it within a month. Cleveland is already a “jay” and a holy terror to the ardent, expectant and exultant Democracy. SENATOR LOGAN. He Attributes the Republican Defeat to Dr. Burchard'* Alliteration. New York Speciil. Gen. John A. Logan is at the Fifth-avenue Hotel. He arrived this morning, and will remain over Thanksgiving, when lie will join Mrs. Logan in Washington. There were alartre num ber of callers at Gen. Logan’s room this afternoon, and he surprized all his friends with tho light hearted and cheery manner in which ho spoke of his recent defeat. “I do not think Logan would feel half as badly,” said a friend of his this evening, “if it was not for the fact that he was beaten by such an old copperhead as Hendricks.” To night Gen. Logan said laughingly, “I have nothing to say to tho press. We are whipped, and that’s all there is of it. For myself,” he added. * I feel a good deal like the man who stubbed his toe, and sat down on a stump to nurse it.” All his friends came around to sympathize witli him, plying him with all sorts of questions about how he felt. “It hurts pretty bad, don’t it?” they asked, but the old fellow was a little too much occupied squeezing his toe to answer. Finally he blurted out: “The worst of it is I am too big to cry, and the thing hurts too bad to laugh.” “And that,” said General Logan, “is the way I feel.” After the election General Logan went down to his farm in southern Illinois to recuperate. The place contains about three hundred acres of well-cultivated land, and the General says that alter the 4th of March he expects to become a granger in earnest. General Logan attributes the defeat of his party to the utterances of Burchard, rather than anything else. He says the Irish-America us in Chicago, except the most bitter Democrats, had always supported him. and that he had never run for any office in Illinois when he failed to carry Chicago by from six to seven thousand. This year the majority ran down to three thousand, and numbers of Irishmen had told him that they had voted against him for tho first time. Ho attributes all this to Burchard’* remarks.

DEMOCRATIC REFORM. It Means Not Less than Ninety Thousand Offices for Bourbon Workers. New York Star. Even thus early it begins to be evident that President Cleveland is bound to have trouble over the different ideas of civil-service reform cherished by the conflicting elements which united for his election. Mr. Hendricks in his Brooklyn speech has squarely laid down his ideas on this interesting subject. "Let a man come to be President of tho United States, ”he says, 1 'and let truo men be called around him and aid him in the public service. Let these men resolve that the only qualification for office shall be honesty and fitness for the service, and then you have civil service reform.” This is the doctrine of Andrew Jackson, and it is held by a great majority of tho Democratic party and its most illustrious leaders. Bayard, Thurman, Hancock, Tildcn, Randall, McDonald and a preponderance of the character and intellect of the party agree with Mr. Hendricks that a Democratic administration can do its best only when supported by faithful and sympathetic men of proved honesty in tho civil service. Senator Pendleton, on tho other hand, represents a smaller body, who think because a man is in of fico that is proof of his fitness to remain there. This is the view, also, of the independent Republicans. Such conflicting conceptions of true reform are full of vexatious complications to any ouo who tries to realize both, and the opposite parties have already shown that no compromise shall be tolerated. As Vice-president-elect, and a prime favorite of his party, Mr. Hendricks's utterances have much significance, but when the Times, in criticising them, says: “We are inclined to think that the influences that controlled in the canvass and made Democratic victory possible will pre vail in the resulting administration," it shows tho independents have fully made up their minds to keep the Republicans in place. Nor are wo surprised at the arrogant claim that as the inde pendents bossed the canvass, so they intend to control the result. It is clear that Mr. Cleveland is bound to offend one side or the other. He can't manage to suit both any more than the best herdsman can feed a Carolina mule and a Texan steer from the same trough. Will he gratify and sustain the majority of his party, or feel it to be his duty to submit to the wishes of his independent allies! No doubt the claims of the latter aro weighty, for success would have been impossible without them. It remains for tho President to decide whether gratitude calls for the subordiation of his Democratic associates to his unpartisan admirers. Without intruding its advice in this delicate dilemma, the Star begs to assure laftvernor Cleveland and its readers generally that, in its opinion, civil service reform by a Democratic administration means at least ninety thousand offices filled by good Democrats, whose qualifications therefor are not so much grammar as gumption, nor cube root as common sense.

Expectation that an ltuinen.se Throng ot Southerners Will Be Present. Fpccitil to tho Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Nov. 27.—01d citizens predict that tho attendance upon tho inauguration of Mr. Cleveland as President will bo tho largest in the history of Presidents. The attendance, too, will bo largely from localities which have not been well represented hereon such occasions. The South will turn out a large per cent, of those who will come. It is expected that tho blue and the gray will intcrminglo and shake hands over tho bloody chasm. It was told to-day by a Virginian that a large company of ex-confederates would be present from that State. They will come, he said, not in a spirit of boasting, but to show their good will and to help close up tho gap that has widened tlie breach between tho North and the South. There will be military companies, I am informed, from every State south of Mason and Dixon’s line. The South has maintained since the war a skeleton ol .ts military organizations, and it proposes to dirlay them and give tlie uniforms and flags an ailing. There will be no sober demonstration of relics of the rebellion, however. A close watch is to bo kept of any unfortunate occurrence such as that would be. So the displays in the inaugural procession will be very interesting and very imposing. It is intended this time that the residents of Washington shall show their Southern hospital itv. The hotels and lodging houses, while they may accommodate a good many thousands with places to sleep, cannot afford anything like the necessary room. This is to be provided for by the citizens, who will throw their doors opeD and invite their friends to enjoy themselves. The prominent residents here are nearly all Democrats, and were largely Southern sympa thizers during the late “unpleasantness," being mostly Marylanders and Virginians. They are hositablo people, and as things have politically come their way. they will do their beat. It will be difficult, under the circumstances, to overflow Washington. Besides the accommo dations here, Baltimore, forty miles to tlie east, a lid Alexandria, Va., eight miles south, are to bo utilized. Trains run to Baltimore within fortyfive minutes, and they leave every hour, day and - night. They will run oftener during the in* autrural excitement. Baltimore has almost unlimited accommodations, and it will be but a pleasant recreation to go over there at night, sleep, breakfast and return here in the morning. Boats and trains run to Alexandria, which has lfi,ooo population, every fifteen minutes. It is the place George and Martha Washington used to frequent when they lived seven miles further south, at Mount Vernon. It is the quaintest old city in the Old Dominion. Tho church that George and Martha used to attend is there, and there are a thousand curious points to visit. To spend the nights there and the days hero is but a pleasant alternative. A good deal of wrangling has been going on here during the week over who shall control tho inauguaration ceremonies and tho displays, the national committee or tho District of Columbia committee. Barnurn conies in says ho will look after the arrangements with a committco that may act witli the District of Columbia Democrats, whereat tho latter are mad. But it won’t disturb tho inauguration.

Washington, Nov. 28. —Commissioner Loring, of the Department of Agriculture, has just issued in phamphlet form the results of an extensive investigation of contagious diseases of domesticated animals.

Benton—Some few cattle died during the year of pink eye. We can’t depend on tho health of our hogs from on*) week to another. They aro now suffering with the old fashioned cholera. Sheep have died of foot rot and scab, and a great many fowls have been lost by cholera. Clinton —The value of tho losses among do mestic animals in this county for tho year, from the various causes and diseases incident to them, is about as follows: Horses, $12,050; cattle, $lO, 000; hogs, $0,000; sheep SI,OOO, and fowls, $450. Crawford —Farm animals in this county have remained in good health during the year. No epidemic of any kind has prevailed among them. Decatur —The loss of animals in this county has been very heavy, though no general epidemic is reported as having prevailed among any par ticular class. Fowl cholera has been particularly destructive, so much so as to discourage poul try raisers. The amount of the losses for the various classes are estimated as follows: Horses, $17,570; cattle. $4,200: hogs. $16,107; sheep. $2, 208: mules. $2,400; and fowls, $2,500.

Chicken cholera has carried off fowls valued at $2,856. Kavette—No disease of a destructive character has prevailed during the y*r among either horses, cattle or sheep. Hogs valued at trom $6.000 to $7,000 have died of the usual diseases. Franklin —I know of no particular disease to which horses have been subject. Alxnit 75 per cent, of the hogs lost during the year died of • wine plague, and about 40 per cent, of the los.* among sheep were caused by dogs. About 20 per cent of our fowls have died of cholera. Tho total value of the losses among hogs aggregates $20,050. Tho results of tho experiments mado by tho department through Us agvuoiea iu tho
