Its stated at the White House that no immediate appointment will be made to the office and that Mr. Manning will continue to act as Secretary for several week?. It is known that the President parts with Mr. Manning with sincere regret, and that he reluctantly consents to his withdrawal frornthe Cabinet.

Fryer. lie expects to return to Washington Friday or Saturday. What a Friend of tite President Sayn. Bptdttl to the Sentinel. Wafiiisgtos, Feb. 14. The resignation of Jameson, Superintendent of the Mails, has mere significance than usual. It is probably the feeeirning cf many important changes. In addition to this it is reliably reported that Mr. Adee, one of the Assistant Secretaries of State, a Republican, will soon walk the pisnk. The following interview with a very intimate friend of the President by the Sentinel commissioner will be read with interest in this connection: "Is there any doubt that the President ia a candidate for a second term ? ' "Yes. I do not believe that the President has finally made up his mind to be a candidate for " re-elf ction. There are some obstructions in his way tbat he knows will Lave to be removed before he can make a successful candidate. The question with, him i9 whether he can very well allord to remove these obstructions."" "What can thev be?" I queried. "O, well, I don't like to say. I should thick you would know what they are as well as anyone else. Of course the President is well aware tbat he has not given entire satisfaction to many men in his party. Eat, at the same time, he claims that he has carried on the policy of the Administration in direct and fall accordance with the principles of the party, reiterated at the three last National Conventions. He said to me, a few weeks ago, that he did not believe that any of the conventions meant what they said in their platforms. 'For,' said he, the more I try to conform to the principles of the platform of my party the more offen e I seem to give. I am torry that men like Mr. Watterson are so dissatisfied, but I feel certain that in less than three months Mr Watterson and all gentlemen wbo enter'ain views in harmony with him will be mrch better pleased with the Administration than ttey are now. Ynu wTil see some things, young man, tbat will make a great deal of diffeienee in your feelings, and I must confess that I believe it will give greaer satisfaction to the masses of the party."

Senator Voorhees, in referring to the President's veto, said today: "I was for the bill before the veto; I am for it now. I shall vote to carry the bill over the veto it I get a cbance. There are plenty of ways of saving money that will be more just than this." Representative Bynum said: "I will vote for the bill over the President's veto. Oa the stump I promised to use my influence for euch a bill, and I propose to redeem my promise." Discussing the Teto. Special to the Sentinel. Waphi kotos, Feb. 14. The Committee on Invalid Pensions had a prolonged discussion over the President's veto. Colonel Mataon declined to state the draft of the discussion, but he appeared to be satisfied the commit tee would report la favor of passing the bill over the President's veto. The committee meet again to-morrow, and will probably be several day discussing the matter. This does not indicate the unanimity that pre vailed Sn the committee when the bill was .originally reported. Opposed to toe Hawley BUI. Ppedal to the Sentinel. WAfHTneTOK, Feb. 14. The Sentinel cor wyondent to-day Interviewed a large num.

ber of Democrats on coast and naval defenses. The Democrats are almost solidly opposed to the Hawley $21,000, 000 bill. The Republicans are solidly the other way. Judge Hoi man and Eepreseatative Cobb are strongly opposed to the bill and attribute the move to the surplus. Mr. Holman says several million dollars will be reported by the Appropriation Committee for coast mortars and torpedoes. Mr. Cobb opposes anything more than $-500,000 for keeping up the repairs on fortifications. Neither of these gentlemen believe inthe war scare and think the assurances of peace were never better. Personal and Political. Hon. Ben F: Havens, of Terre Haute, is at the Willard. Judge Carleton leaves in a few days for L'tfb, direct. Joel Hyatt, of New Harmony, recently ill, is ft his post again. Repre;cutitive Kleiner to-day procured the appointment of John Z Stueugul as mail mesencer on the Louisville and Henderson packets. To the Associated Press, A Memorial From Texas Citizens. Wasiusoton, Feb. 14. The memorial pre sented by Senator Coke to-day relative to alleged political outrages in Texaa declares that the charges made by Hackworth, Moore, ana Feh netze are general in ther nature and wholly destitute of truth, and that there was no conspiracy to han the negroes, usurp the offices, or to banish citizens from Washington County. The memorial farther declares that the petitioners named above are men of bad repute, and states specifically tbat Hackworth mismanaged county affairs while in office. The Senate committee formed to investigate the above subject will begin its labors to-morrow. dominations. Washington, Feb. 14. The President sent the following nominations to the Senate today: Receiver of Public Moneys Everett B. Sanders, of Elroy, Wis., at Wasau, Wis.

The t'ostniaster General, in a letter accepting Co-onel Jameson's resignation, compliments the retiring officer In the highest terms for his ability and efficiency.

Michigan Floods. Lyons, Mich., Feb. 14. The ice gore ia frozen solidly to a depth of from live to ten feet. The river is still flowing through Main street, and merchants are building trestleworks to their stores only to find their goods frozen in ice. The cold weather has settled the water nearly a foot, but made work almost impossible. Themen working in the water are coated with ice. The first mails since last Wednesday arrived to day, being carried across the gorge below. Families wbo were driven from their homes without a change of clothing, are returning in boats through the windows to find everything covered with ice. At Three Rivera the water began rising again Saturday afternoon, and thin rrorning it is six inches higher than the great flood of ISO!). Men were at work all night on the Lake Shore track, which is only saved from being washed out by the severe freezing. The whole country from Lyonsjto Muir presentsn Arctic panorama of desolation. Many merchants have been nnable to visit their stores since Thursday morning, and several who attempted it were swept down by the current and narrowly escaped death. All the merchants lose heavily, all manufacturing establishments ere crippled and many buildiDgs ruited. The ice gorge shows no signs of breaking,extending as lid glacier five miles long and fifteen or ' twenty feet thick. The loss of property is enormous and will doubtless reach $i;0,000. The Holly Water Works building stands in the midst of the flood and has been literally ground to pieces. Alleged Election Outrages. St. Lnvif, Feb. 14. Ex-Governor Ireland, of Text?, accompanied by twenty-eight citizens of Washington County, Texas, passed through this city yesterday on his way to Washington, D. C, where he and his companions will appear before the Senate committee which will investigate the election outrages made against the citizens of Washington County by those Republicans who fied the county for fear of being lynched, and who .-Iaim to have been driven out by the Democrats. Ex-Governor Ireland says that at the close of the election in Washington County, Dewees Bolton, son of the candidate for County Commissioner, rode up to the precinct, dismounted and demanded admittance to the polls, He was told to come in, and upon opening the door was shot down in his tracks by a negro named Hill. Eight of the nine occupants of the room were arrested, arid two of them were subsequently lynched. The others lied the country for fear of being Bimilarl? treated, and brought the charge against the Democrats of the county that they were driven out. The exGovernor says: "The whole story of those men is a pure fabrication. Every statement they have made to show that they were the objects of political persecution is absolutely false, and tbat will be easy to prove by all these witnesses. They were not driven from the county, but left there of their own free will and desire." Meeting or the New Jersey Legislature. Trenton, N. J., Feb. 14. The Assembly met to-nigbt for the purpose of considering the Haines-Turley contested seat, on the decision of which the election of a United States Senator is likely to hinge, but the Democrats, finding that they did not have their full strength present, declined to vote, leaving the body without a quorum. Adiourned. f The Republicans held a inint ranr-n night, at the close of which it was announced that W. J. Sewell had been agreed npon as candidate for United States Senator. Three Republicans protested against the choice. The Demccrats beld a joint caucus also. Several members were not present, and it is understood that some of them are opposed to Governor Abbott's candidacy for the Senatership. Visible Snpply of Grain. Chicago, Feb. 14.

WAR'S WILD ALARUMS.

General Eaularger, tie Man of Destiny, Ready to Defend tie French Republic. Kuttia to Attack Anstria The Political Situation in England The Irlxh Vftll Resist Coercion Flashes. LoNi'ON, Feb. 13. There seems to beno cbance of escaping war. No business operations are proceeding anywhere on a theory that peace will be preserved through the spring. No man in official life, in a position to know even the outlines of the existing situation, will candidly say he believes that peace will be maintained. Indeed, the better a man's source of informatioa the more pessimistic you are sure to find him. A German General of division, who came to England last wetk to arrange for his family to remove from Prussia here la a month, says no German officer doubts the reality of the intention to have war. In his division for a fortnight back the bugle call has occurred at 1 o'clock in the morning. Everything is in momentary readiness to start, either for parade or campaign. Throughout the whole army the same nervous state of preparation reigns. At Metz a young friend of his, an officer of Hussars, tells him they are all held in absolute suspense, waiting for the hourly expected order to move. Theories differ as to the time when the fight will really come. THE TIME Ir.AV3 NEAT.. The prevailing notion in German circles is that it will be about the 12th of April, since the reserves will be out on the 2d, and ten days will be needed after that to arrange the details. This is given merely as an expression of opinion. Where everything depends on the swiftness and secrecy of the blow to be struck it would, of course, be folly to predict the time and pretext for it. Another thing seems clearer now than a forlnipbt ago, which is that Germany will swoop down on France through Belgium. It is eaid that there is a perfect treaty underStanding to this point between Berlin and Brussels, and England's consent to the thing foreshadowed a week ago. The Belgians are workiDg now In a truly phenomenal manner at fortifications and armaments, but it is significant that these are directed more for protection against the French Ceet than the German host. In fact, the whole tone of Belgain talk and thought is in favor of Germany; besides which, Leopold is a grandson of Louis Philippe and the most enthusiastic Orleanist in Europe. Any study of the situation leaving out of view this dynastic movement would be false and misleading. l;l"L(iARIA to i;k mape the tketext. A startling element of the situation Is that whereas iu 1870 the other power3 formed a ring and watched the progress of the duel, this time they must all tike part Just now there is a tendency to revert to the original ground of complications for the spark which shall set Europe in fiames. A fortnight asro the notion was very slrong that Bismarck was going to begin the thing off his own bat. This may still be the right cue, bat opinion is setting again toward Russia as the aggressor and Bulgaria as the scene of the overture to a dance in peaceful England, let alone far-oil" America. It is hard to realize just how delicate and dangerous the situation is in tne East. The whole Balkan territory is one vast trembling expanse of bog, in which a fissure is liable at any rgoment to open. Every pasbalic in Macedonia and Albania, every village in Roumelia contains all the elements needed for a conti sgration. We get so many 6tories of preparations there, of turbulent "intentions and incendiary plans, that the marvel grows that the peace has been kept thus long. Russian agents aTe busy everywhere, not only those of a high class, like the lady arrested in Sofia who wanted to bribe the Minister of War, bat traveling emissaries Greek monks, photographers, drovers and that sort of folk who distribute kopecks where she gave napoleons, and scatter pamphlets and portraits of tte Czar. Tlie Attempt l'al'n. Paris, Feb. 13. A little episode behind the scenes Is reported which has not been printed, end is not even known outside a limited circle here. Over a week ago a friendly hint came from Berlin that General EoulaDger ought to retire, and M. Urevy had the suggestion cautiously conveyed to the General. He, perfectly understanding that the Elysee desired the thing as much as Bismarck, assented, and gave in his resignation, but not without conferring with M. Clernenceau and the Radical leaders. They put pressure on the Cabinet to refuse the resignation, which it did, Mr. Goblet being overruled by bis colleagues with predictions, one might say threats, of a peculär revolt it General Boulanger were sacr'ficed. Thus the popular idol has farther secured his position by a blunder of M. Grevy. Meanwhile, though people profess to believe in peace, the pnblic state is one of preparation for the worst. Large contracts for war material are being given at prices a quarter to a third higher than Government J rices to private firms. For the moment the ear of an overt attack from Germany has relaxed, but in the same ratio the belief increases that war is inevitable between Russia and Austria, and there is little hope that it can be localized. More than this, secret negotiations have begun again between France and Russia. Home Kale Certaia. Lois dojt, 'Feb. 13. Here in England, of course, nothing rivals in interest the eternal question. The solidity of the majority against Parnell's amendment has served to clear the air. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach has definitely pledged the Ministry to coercion, prompt and sweepirg. It is evident that the House will vote it by a majority of at least seventy. It Is equally certain that the Irish will resist coercion this time as they never did belore. We may, therefore, expect a bloody and turbulent spring in Ireland as an apparently necessary prelude to a coming election which will give the country home rule. Since the Tories must have recourse to the wretched old expedient of force, it ii fortunate that it will come at a time when no treason and no outrages serve as an excuse. The Irish may eufler temporarily b this, but not even the Unionist apologists for coercion can deny that it is likely to nasten the English conclusion that such a tragic farce is played out. rARKELt Ann his followiih. These dispatches have reflected faithfully all the friction there has been between Par nell and bis followers. It has never been serious, but to prevent the possibility of the enemy's exaggerations, Mr. Parnell has waived an earnest desire to go on vacation or a time to recuperate his health, and Mr.

Power has consented to rescind his resignation of the Waterford seat. This is largely due to alarmist dispatches sent to America during the past ten days, describing a quarrel which never existed. As well might one say there bad been a rupture between Mr. Gladstone and the Liberals because he refused to come down, speak and vote on Mr. TarneU's amendment, when the truth was ha simply held alooi from a phase of the contest which teemed less important to him than to Mr. Morley and Sir William Harcourt. Mr. Farnell is not sensitive to the swell of popular feeling which has swung the Irish into the plan of campaign with Mr. Dillon, Mr. Healy and Mr. O'Brien as spokesmen. To him it seems more yital to prevent the Tories from getting the shadow of a pretext for coercion; but he yielded to those who were on the ground, with only a reservation that it was their f ht, not his. - . News From the Soudan. Rome. Feb. 13. General Gene, Italian commander at Maasowab, reports as follows: "Boretti, commanding atSati, on January 25 at 11a.m. saw the heights occupied bv thousands of Abyssinian, who disappeared on tte tirirg of some shells. Boretti sen' cut a party under Lieutenant Como, who surprised and engsged the enemy. The latter advanced intrepidly on all sides to within .'iOO yards of the Italian position. There was desperate fighting until 5 o'clock, when the enemy retreated. Boretti applied for reinforcements, and Gene sent a column under Colonel Decristofons. The column was delayed. Decristoforis asked for more men and guns. While the latter reinforcements were on the way it was learned that the Decristoforis party were massacred after forming a square, defending themselves to the last man and cartridge. The relief party found the bodies lying in the order in which the men fought, and the enemy retiring Many corpses were mutilated." Watching the Frontiers. Taisis, Feb. 14. The Journal Des Debates has telegrams from Nancy saying that numerous German patrols have been stationed along the frontier for the purpofe, it ia supposed, of arresting deserters, whose number has rapidly increased since Wftr rumors have beea in circulation. The dispatches also say tbat the French Government has issued an order directing that if any patrols should by accident enter France, only formal notice shall be taken of such violation of French territory, the matter to be subsequently made the eublectof a diplomatic protest. Bavltt at Loughrea. - Loi giikea, Feb. 13 Michael Davitt arrived this morning. He refused to accept a copy of the Government proclamation prohibiting the proposed Nationalist meeting. Davitt addressed the meeting: in the afternoon in the League rooms, which were barricaded. He spoke at Woodford in the evening. CONDENSED TELEGRAMS.

Futile Effort t of Vessel Coal Passers. New "Vork, Feb. 14. An attempt to cause trouble among the firemen and coal passers on some of the coastwise lines yesterday and Saturday proved a failure. The coal passers and firemen on the Ward line struck just as the steamer Saratoga was throwing off her lines. The men, however, had signed the ship's articles, and were, therefore, liable to be proceeded against for mutiny. This measure being threatened, they returned to work in preference to being placed In irons and the vessel proceeded to sea, three hours late. The firemen on the Clyde Line ateamer Yem&asee also left their vessel as the whistle was blowing for the boat to leave the dock. Men from two other boats were promptly put on board, and the delay was not more than an hour's duration. Oa the Mallory dock four firemen quit work on the Carondolet. Maay of the strikers have returned to work, the employers, in moet cases, preferring them, with all their faults, to the new hands.

A Lawsuit fur a Judgship. Foet Wavxe, Feb. 14. One of the surprises of the last general election ia this countywas the defeat of Hon. Samuel M. Hench, candidate for re election on the Democratic ticket to the position of Judge of the Superior Court of Allen County, by Hon. Augustus A. Chspin, a Republican, who is now serving as Judge of that court. The circumstance of a Republican polling more votes for a judicial position than the regular Democratic candidate led to a surmise in certain quarters that the Board of Canv5sers was in error, but, on a recount of the ballots, it was shown that Judge Chapin's vote exceeded the vote cast for Judge Hench by fifty-six. Accordingly Judge Chapin was granted a commission by Governor Gray on the 15th day of Novamber last, and on the 2Cth day of the same month he entere4-upon his duties, which he has since discharged. On Saturday evening last Judge Hench created considerable sensation by tiling in the Allen Circuit Court a petition, claiming that he is entitled to two years more of service oa the bench, and averring that Judge Chapin has usurped the functions of the office and should, in justice, be turned out. The complaint, which is a long one, bears the signature of S. E, Alden, Walpole G. Colerick Colenck A: Oppenheim, attorneys for the relator. The point raised by Judge Hench Is briefly that Hon. James L. Worden was elected Judge of the Superior Court of Allen County in LU82, and entered upon the duties of the office on the 2 th day of November of tfce same year, and held such office until June 2, ISSt, wben he died; that subsequent to the death of Judge Worden, and more than twenty days prior to the general election beld on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November, 1SS1, the Clerk of the Allen Circuit Court certified to the Sheriff what officers were to be elected at such general election, designating among others "a Judge of the Superior Court of Allen County;" tbat the relator, Judge Hench, received a majority of 3,70-i votes in an segregate of 13.M4, and that, after the Beard of Canvassers had certified his elect-on, the Governor, cn the 12th day of November, 18S4, commissioned him as Judge of the Superior Court of Allen County for four years thereafter, and until his successor should be elected and qualified ; that he took ti e oath of office and entered upon the performance of its duties on the 13th day of November. 1 SS I, and continue to perform the duties of the office until the 2'Jth day of November, 1SCC, when, as the complaint alleges. Judge Chapin intruded himself into said office and usurped the same, all of which unlawful atca being; done under the pretense that Judge Hench was only entitled, under his election in November 1SS 1, to hold office for the remainder of the term for which Hon. James L. Worden has been elected in Novera fcer The case will be argued next we"ek before Hon. Edward O'Rourke, Judge of the Allen Circuit Court, and his decision will be awaited with much interest. An Embezzling School Teacher. Gr.EiNsr.n:G, Feb. 12. Charles Stark, a school teacher of Letts' Corner, was arrested yesterday for stealing money from Adams Brothers & Boyd, of the tame place. He taught school during the week and clerked for the firm on Saturdays, and was allowed to go to the money drawer and make his own change. The firm for several weeks past had been missing money, and SUrk was suspicioned. The firm set a trap for him, and he walked right into it the first day. Money was placed in the drawer; Stark came in, asked lor a cigar, and was told to go and get it, which he did, and then he went behind the counter to drop the price of the cigar into the money drawer. As soon as Stark went away the parties who were watching him counted the money in the drawer, and it was short $1.55. Instead of dropping the 5 cents into the drawer he took from it $1.50. When confronted with the crime he indignantly denied, but afterward made a confession, in which he admitted taking that amount and $27 more at divers times. He appealed to them to say nothing about it and he would refund the amount. He Btarted with the Township Trustee to go to his office to settle his account, to raise the money to pay the firm, but on their way he stated he could not do so. He went home, changed his clothing and tried to make his escape, but was overtaken by the Horse-thief Detective Association. He was brought here yesterday, and being unable to give bond, he was placed in jail. His arrest has caused a sensation, as he is well known, having taught school in different places in tbia county for several years. He was married about one year ago. Flew Is the Murderer "Warsaw, Feb. 13. The mystery surrounding the murder of Henry Dunham and his family near Fierceton is being cleared away. Mrs. Dunham, who is mortally wounded, partially regained consciousness to-day and talked in a running way about the horrible affair. She said the family were in the barn when attacked by a man whose name she could not recall. He killed her husband and cut the baby's throat before her eyes, and then attacked her. Several semes were mentioned, and wben that of Joseph Plew was named she said at once that he was the murderer. Plew is now in jail here charged with the crime. It is reported that a mob is forming which will come to Warsaw to-night and hang Plew. The jail ia guarded by a strong posse. Chicago, Feb. 13. A special to the News from Wabash, Ind., says: This morning Mrs. Henry Dunham, of Koelnsko County, regained consciousness and told the story of

the murder of ber husband and child. Her mind is clear. She says that Piew, who is in jail at Warsaw, is the murderer and that he alone committed the horrible crime. This Etory is being carefully guarded for fear that it will incite the mob that have been waiting for proof of riew's guilt to summary action.

Kelly received $2,5oO from the Chicagos last year. The deal consummated to-day has teen under consideration for a month. Boston had offered $7,500 for Glasscock and had been prevented from getting him by the interposition of the League Supervisory Committee.

An offer of $5,000 was made which. President Spaulding, of the Chicago Base-Eall Club, refused, saying that it would take $10,0:o to get him. Boston then offered $9,0C0 and Mr. Spaulding wrote that if Boston would make a bona Ii de bid of $10,0oo, and give him until the middle of March to talk over the matter with the other stockholders, they could have Kelly beyond a doubt. A week ago to-day the Boston men wrote Spaulding strain, saying that $10,O0 would be paid for Kelly's immediate release, but that the oSer would not be left open. Friday afternoon a reply came accepting the offer, and on Sunday morning Director Billings started from Boston for this place to secure Kelly's signature.
