Nearly all of the annual report of Commander W. T. Sampson, -Superjntendcint of the United States Naval Academe, is davoted to an argument in support of a' proposed change in the academic course. That change, which he gives various reasons in favor of, is that cadets should be assigned to the diflerents branches of the service at the end of four years, instead of six. aooling the two-years course at sea before graduation as useless, The police scandal at Washington culminated in the resignation of Superintendent Walker and the dismissal of Lieutenant Arnold .

A sens ational story concerning Minister Manning’s experience at a banquet comes from the City of Mexico by special telegram to the Chicago Times: The American colony iu thia city is profoundly agitated and worked by an affair which touches American pride to a d fir. e even Hur- , passing the i»e<lgwick affair.’ This story in brief is to the effect that the new American Minister, Hon. Thomas H. Manning, of Ixailsiima, lias fallen a victim to the relentless enemy of Mr.* Sedgwick. Thursday afternoon, Nov. is, Mr. Manning attended a dinner given in his honor by M. L. Guirard, one of the leading members of the American colony. Many of the most distinguished Mexican! politicians and bankers were present at the banquet to.mcot the ne w Simis’er. At thu-conclusion of the banquet Judge Manning repaired to his rooms, and was not again seen eu the ..street tor. nearly, a ..week,-ile was rojstrted by tlMrffocretary of legation r.nd'others as being ill and confined to his room. It is now stated, however, thpt the distinguished gentleman during four entire days lollov. the banquet was in a * frenz ed state, and continued to indulge so freely , that his secretary and the interpreter could not make him realize what ho was- doing;. * The Jjccr-taxy of Legation called on un old member of the American colony, and, together they" filially succeeded bv liberal use of medicine’s in bringing the Minister to realize his situation. As soon ns Manning realized what bail tran-spir-d, his secretary visited the newspaper offices and c<rreßpondents and tried t> induce them to say nothing about the mutter. Guiiard, the person at whose,table the banquetoceurro I. is severely censured. He is the same person, who introduced Envoy Sedgwick to members of the famous Jockev Clan. It is thought on all sides that the unfortunate event will, in all probability, lead to an early resignation of Minister Manning. Liei’tenant Peakcy arrived at Halifax on his way home from Greenland, where he has been for the purpose of establishing the feasibility of a new route for arctic explorers across that country. He made his headquarters at a Danish settlement on the west coast, and from there made several journeys inland, the principal one being to a point 100 miles eastward. Here he found the elevation above the sea to be 7,500 feet. He is satisfied that Greenland can be crossed from west to cast by future expeditious to the north pole.

Beating a Hotelkeeper.

A friend of mine came to settle for his night’s lodging at a bedbuggy little hole in the-wall near the railway station in Neuehatel called the Hotel des Alps. In’ addition to the charge for apartment, service, lights, etc.’, was the item: “un "dejeuner.” I will put it into pla n Engl Ah that which followed: “But I didn’t order any breakfast.” “That was no fault of the house, Monsieur.” “Do you mean to tell me that you wish to charge me for breakfast, I neither ordered nor ate?” “The breakfast, was prepared all the same. Monsieur.” “You pretend that you pro,ide a regular table d’hote breakfast every morning, and ch rge for it whether your guests take it or not?” “Yes, Monsieur; see the menu? Here it is,” and the firm yet polite landlord produced his regular “a la carte.” My’ friend turned it upside down. Then he carefully perused it. Then he said: “How much of this do you serve as your regular breakfast?” “Anything you like. Monsieur.” “Very well; receipt the bill, and, as l am to pay for breakfast, please God I will eat it ; bring me a filet of beef, with mushrooms, a halfchigk. n gr He, a rum omelet and a pint of C hablis; I shall wait over until the next train.” Mine host of the Hntal des Alps looked first stupefied and then disgusted, and, finally grasping the situation, he ran into his office, altered his bill in conformity with the facts, and hurrying back, cried: “Here, Monsieur, hero ik Vour bill, quite correct —■> francs 35 centimes—and you will just have time to catch your train.”— llenrit Wa tersfjn, in the Cnu ier-Jouriial.

The convicted ana chists will not be hanged on the 3d proximo. Judge Scott, of the Supreme bench, has granted a writ of supersedeas, which operates as a stay of execution pending the hearing of the appeal by tie full bench. This hearing will take place at the spring term of the court, to be held at Ottawa, and the final decision will hardly be rendered before April or May. The granting of the supersedeas was almost a foregone conclusion. It is in conformity with the almost invariable practice of the Supreme Judges in capital cases, when a delay of execution is necessary to allow the court time for hearing an appeal. How the Condemned Men Received the News. [From the Chicago Tribune.] The anarchists were all pleased with the news,and if they eventually escape all punis! ment it is safe to say they won’t again play with edged tools. When seen by a reporter Parsons was seated in his cell. He had his feet against the grated door and his chair tilted back at an angle of forty-five degrees. Asked what he thought of the granting of the supersedeas, he said it stiuck him very favorably, and he was glad to hear it. He didn't know to what extent the influences brought to bear in the trial before Judge Gary would affect the decision of Supreme Court Justices on a motion for a supersedeas, but he was pleased to see that they lad cut no figure. He thought the decision of Judge Scott in granting the writ was in itself an evidence that the conviction of himself and the others was u violation of the law. “If you get out of this scrape do you think you will talk and write in the future as you did in the past?” he was asked. , “I can’t say whether I would write the same things and preach the same doctrines. For my part, I am willing to say the rascalities, outra es, and robberies to which the working classes have been subjected sometimes get the better of a -rntm who feels for them, and leads him to say things he wouldn’t say when in his calmer moments. It's a good deal like politics, where the leader of one party abuses the leader of the other, but after"tho campaign is over everything settles down to quiet again.” Fischer was not.much surprised to hear the news, as he thought all along that the writ would be granted. He believed, however, that if Judge Scott was of similar material to Judge Gary there would have been no hope at all. Fielden was not disappointed over the news, as it was just about what he expected. He was uncertain what business he would engage in if he finally «got clear of his present trouble--, ind was unable to say what influences might be brought to bear upon him to change the opinions he had so freely uttered'in the past. vj ” Schwab couldn't say he was much, surprised at the news, for his attorneys had assured him that everything was favorable to the granting of the writ. He thought similar disturbances to those of last May would occur again, but intimated that he wouldn’t be mixed up in them. “We Germans.” he said, “are more radical and outspoken in our views than Americans, because we have seen the same state of affairs produce the same results in the . old country, and, in rnismg our voices against thq further oppression of the working people, only tried to avert the disasters that have overtaken them elsewhere.”- , z Spies was expecting the supersedeas, but would not have been surprised had it been refused, after what he had seen at the trial. He said he was not ashamed of anything be had written in the past, although admitting he might have said some unreasonable things. Concluding, he said: “My course in the part may not have been wise, but I never willingly harmed anybody in my'life. If the verdict is sustained, henceforth any man can be arrested and dragged to prison, convicted, and punished for any unlawful act committed by persons known or unknown.” Noebe believed all the time that the bu* persedeas would be granted, and never felt alarmed over its being refused. ■" .-VTeat-tifUl for'ii is better than a beautiful facet a beautiful behavior is better than a beautiful form : it gives a higher pleasure than statueS and pictures; it is the finest of the fine arts.

A LONG FAREWELL.

The Mcrtal Remains xf Chester 72 Alan Arthur Consigned to Earth. “ A Large Gathering of Eminent * f ho monies. [New York telegram. | The last night of the loving watch beside the bier of Gen. Chester Alan Arthur, ex-President of the United States, has passed, President Cleveland and Postmaster General Vilas arrived in a carriage direct from the train at 8:20 a. m., and entered the house of mourning. Many people uncovered their heads when the President stepped out of his carriage. Shortly after, Gov. Hill and Judge William Muller airived and entered the house. They were followed by the Senate committee. By tfiis time there was a m’ghty throng of people on the avenue, and the windows of every house were filled with sad faces. There were up services at the house. At 8:30 the black casket, covered with palmetto leaves, sprays of violets, and a wreath of white roses, was lifted by the undertaker’s assistants and borne irom the room. The silent form of Chester A. Arthur passed through the door of his earthly tenement for the last time, and was reverently placed in the funeral-draped hearse. As the casket camo in view of the people in the street every head was bowed reverentlv, and many eyes tilled with tears in the throng thus hushed in the presence of death. There was no display of pomp or ceremony, no military music or procession, but the mighty throng of sorrowing people bore witness to their love and respect for the deceased statesman. Next came out of the residence Chester Alan Arthur, Jr., the son of tt:e ex-Presi-dent. . Leaning On his arm, clad in gar—ments of mourning, was his sister, Miss Nellie Arthur, They’ passed quietly to their carriage, accompanied by Mr. an d Mrs. McElroy.

Tiffany, , and Cornelius Vanderbilt; ..Chief Justice Waite and Justices Harlan and Blatchford, Senators-Edmunds. Sherman, Logan, Evarts, Hawley, Vest, aud Gorman, Gen. Stone, and Gov* Hill. The mourners filled twenty-five carriages, but over one hundred carriages filled with friends, who had been unable to gain admission to the house, followed the • procession to the church. All along the line were immense throngs of people who waited in respectful silence while the funeral train passed. As the casket was borne into the church the choir formed in two files and the clergymen passed between them heading the procession intoning the opening lines of the beautiful Episcopal burial service; the casket was borne up the aisle on the shoulders of the four undertakers’ assistants, followed by the pall-beareßg, the family, and the immediate friends. After the services the undertakers’ assistants lifted the casket on their shoulders and proceeded slowly out of the church, followed by the pall-bearers, members of the family, President aud his Cabinet, Gov. Hill and his staff, and the representatives of the army and navy. The remains were placed on a train for Albany, where Bishop Doane recited the committal service at the grave. Earth was thrown in the grave and pressed down, and when the dusk of evening began to settle on forest and hill, deft hands covered the newly made mound with sheets of sod.

the EasL As the agent of the Czar in Bulgaria he seems to have performed his work well. Gen. Kaulbars was recently recalled by the Czar. Before leaving Sofia he asked the German Consul to protect Rtissian subjects. The Consul, after consulting bis Government, replied that he was willing to protect genuine Russians, but not Montenegrins or Bulgarians. This implies Germany’s censtire of Russia's protec ion of the Zankoff and other conspirators. The Czar instructed Gen. Kaulbais to confide Russian subjects tiJthe care of France. —< “Why do vou wink at me, sir?” said a beautiful young .lady; angrily, to . a stranger, at a party an evening or two since.

Forty-two men were seriously burned by an explosion of fire-damp Friday morning, in the Conyngham shaft, owned and operated by the Delaware and Hudson Company. Several other persons were slightly injured-. Of the forty-two men severely burned two have since died, and ten more will probably die. Two miners, whose names are unknown, are missing, and it is believed that they were blown into a sump containing thirty feet of water aud were, drowned.

The shaft was known to contain gas. No work was done Thursday, and consequently there was more gas than usual in it. The accident occurred at 7:10 a. m., while fifty miners and laborers were sitting at the foot of the shaft, waiting for the inside boss. Tae accident was due to the carelessness of Cornelias Boyle, Who has paid the penalty with his life. Boyle entered a worked out chamber with a .naked light on -his hat, aad the explosion followed. Many mules were killed and wounded, and great damage was done to the inside workings of the shaft. The scene at the colliery while the injured men were being taken from the sha t was terrible. A ciowd of several hundred persons had gathered at the mouth of the shaft, among them the wives,, mothers, and daughters of the injured men. As the victims were taken out of tho pit they were brought to the engine-hoitse, and the women made desperate efforts to gain entrance. The frantic demonstrations of grief were heart-rending, but they were sternly kept outsit 1 .? the building, while the blackened, scorched, and bleeding victims of the disaster were wrapped in blankets soaked in oil. The engine-house floor was covered with writhing human forms so disfigured by fire as to be unrecognizable. As fast as possible they Were, taken to the hospital or to their homes.

A DISASTROUS SEASON.

Many Vessels Destroyed and Lives Lost on the Lukes. [Chicago telegram,] The recent storms have practically put a stop to navigation for the season of 1886. As fast as the lumber fleet arrives the vessels are'being stripped and sent into winter quarters in the various slips. The season has been a good one as far as freights were concerned, but the underwriters have suffered heavily and the loss of. human life has been great. So far this season thirty-three yj^alH—have been driven on shore or /ounaered, with more or less loss. The sfihooners L. J. Conway, Belle Walbridge, South Haven, Pathfinder, Lucerne, Florida, Helen, Menekaunee, Marinette, Dickenson, and Emerald and the fine propeller Robert Wallace are total losses, and represent a money value of nearly $500,000 in vessel property. What the value of the cargoes was cannot be accurately computed, but will probably double that amount. The schooner Lucerne, which foundered in Lake Superior with a load of iron ore, took with her the entire crew of ten men. Not a single body was recovered. Eight lives were lost on the Marinette and seven on the Menekaunee, only one man of the two crews escaping. The scow Helen went to pieces off Muskegon, and her entire crew of seven men were drowned. The schooner Florida, with a cargo of coal, went ■ to pieces- offMarqnette. The crew waresaved, with the exception of the mate, who was caught between the rescuing-tug and the vessel and squeezed to death. Tho Dickenson and Emerald broke adrift from the tug Justice Field and went into the breakers. Eight men out of their crews of sixteen were lost, making a total of fortyone sailors who have lost their lives by tho wrecking of vessels this season.

CATTLE PLAGUE IS RAGING.

Thousands of Cases Discovered by the Expert Veterinarians. [Chicago dispatch.] The work of appraising cattle at the Phoenix Distillery was completed yesterday. Two hundred and twenty-nine animals were appraised at an average valuation of $26. The commission will visit Schufeldt’s establishmerit to-day, and begin upon the-900 head confined there. It now seems probable that all of next week will be required to finish the work at the distilleries, and that no slaughtering will be done for some time yet. It is becoming daily more apparent that the disease is much more widespread than was at first supposed. The expert veterinarians who are at work among the milchcows stabled throughout the city are constantly discovering cases in the most un-looked-for places, and between 2,000 and 3,000 suspected cases are kuo.'. n to exist in this county. A prominent member of the commission said last night that, in his opinion, the disease was now so firmly rooted here that it could not be eradicated. “The State has refused to pay for diseased animals,” said he, “and as a consequence poor people who happen to possess one or two edws will conceal the fact of the existence of the disease from the authorities until whole herds become affected. If the State would agree to pay for the diseased cattle, as it should do, and taka hold of the matter in earnest, we might yet stamp out the disease. But as matters now look our State is doomed to see its cattle interests ruined.”

A Lesson in Manners.

Hon. Leopold Morse, in aMpiverpool hotel, was advised in an offensive tone by an Englishman, of whom he asked a question, to address such inquiries in future to the porter. “I thought you were the porter,” returned Mr. Morse, “and furthermore,” added our ex-Cou-gressman, "since you say my addressing you was a rudeness, let me give you a lesson in manners. In America a gentleman thinks it only decent to answer, if he can, a decent question/, The rudeness was yours, sir, whoever you may be.’— Boston Transcript. \
