Young Recommended for a Foreign Appointment—Nelms’ Selec tion Apt to be Announced To-Day— Bayliss W. Hanna Exonerated from the Charges Against Him and to Go to Persia. Washington, June s.—Senator Col •juitt will try to go home to-morrow. He had another pleasant Interview with the President to-day. It is understood that he recommended Gen. P. M. B. A'oung very strongly for a foreign appointment, and that Mr. Young is likely to get it. Jlr. Colquitt’s main business here was to secure the appointment of J. IV. Nelms, *1 Atlanta, for Marshal of the Northern district in place of Marshal Bryant, who bas resigned rather than to be suspended. The determination to appoint Mr. Nelms will probably be announced to-morrow. It is expected that Marshal AYade and District Attorney Darnell, of the South ern district, will shortly resign rather than to be suspended. HANNA’S HONOR UNTARNISHED. It is stated by well inlormed Indiana inen that the President, after investiga tion, is satisfied that the charge made against Bayliss W. Hanna, Minister to Persia, of receiving pay for using his in fluence in favor of an aspirant for a post office is baseless. Immediately upon the publication of the fact that such a charge had been made Democratic and Republi can politicians and Democratic aud Re publican newspapers alike hastened to pronounce it unwarrantable. The investi gation which has been made has resulted, it is said, in establishing the fact that the business transaction out of which the charge grew was wholly regu lar. Mr. Hanna has already filed ms bond and received his commission as Minister to Persia. It is said tnat his re quest for an exchange to the Argentine Republic has been denied, and that he will soon be ordered to Persia. The following mail messenger service change bas been made in Florida: Ferry Pass and Escambia, Escambia county, from the Pensacola and Atlantic Rail road, curtail route to the end at Escam bia. The following star service has been discontinued in Florida: Plant City to Bartow, from July 1,1885. The report is revived that on July 1 ex-Congressman George Post, of Pennsyl vania, who was the executive officer of the Democratic Congressional Committee last summer, is to be appointed to the new position of Second Assistant Secre tary of the Interior. THE -WHITE HOUSE CONCERNS. Considerable feeling is manifested that the President has not yet given the order for the concerts by the Marine Band in the White House grounds which have long been the feature of Saturday afternoons in summer. Everbody goes to them and all classes mingle with the utmost freedom. The music does not begin till 6 o’clock end lasts only an hour, and many are found who threaten the dire indignation of the District if the music is shut oft No defluite informatien on the sub ject has yet bee* given, but I bear it is probable the concerts will oegin on to-morrow. At the same time, if the President has a feeling that he would like greater secjusion for the grounds he will discover much sympathy tor that view. Music, laughter and pry ing eyes do not always charm a man tired out with work, and though an organ may delight my next door neighbor, I have a right to object to its activity before my house.. The President happens to have a band instead of an organ, hut who shall say he has not the right of any private citizen to “tell the music to move away?” Hill he’s an uncommonly good natured citizen, and the concerts are sure to come. A PERSISTENT GFFICE-SEKXER. One of the quaintest office-seekers who has floated down to Washington since March 4 : William H. Condon, of Chi cago, who is here after the Italian niis siou, and who does not propose to leave tvitnoutit. Condon is a character. His papers, if spread out. would cover nearly an acre of ground. When he arrived he went over to see Secretary Bayard with an immense book under his am winch resembled in size and ap pearance a directory of the city of Chicago. It was filled with names, and lie told the Secretary that all of the gentlemen represented in the book were backing him for the place. Upon ob serving wbat he thought was a look ol in credulity upon Secretary Bayard’# face, he suggested that he should write to any of the addresses so as to prove bis state ment. The Secretary declined, as a mat ter of course, saying that be had ioo much business to attend to to waste time on that kind of work, and Condon left him in a rather perplexed frame of mind. His latest scheme is be liinuing to bear fruit, judging by the re marks of some of the State Department Cierks who are obliged to handle his Papers. He has secured the services of a regular Board of Canvassers, and the en bre city of Chicago is being ransacked Irom cellar to garret for letters and peti t ons in Condon’s behalf. They hsve just begun to come in. Every mail brings scores of letters and petitions, while Condon floats through the hotel corridors here night and day, hoping to pounce upon some unwary statesman and cet his support, lie is the most persis tent ami methodical applicant for office 'hsi has yet appeared: but those who are Unusually well informed upon such luat ti i's say that he is more liable to be struck i’V lufttiiiug than to be appointed to sue ' CPU Minister Astor.

Wil son, Pension Agent for the District of Columbia, says that the statements that the names of 200 pensioners of the District had been dropped from the rolls because they were not legally entitled to pensions is an entire misapprehension oi the facts. Of the 200 above mentioned 181 were pen sioners who have died since 1882, and whose names had been taxen from the rolls. In the official report he says it is plainly stated when death occurred in each case and when the last payment was made. In many instances the govern ment owes the estates of these pensioners for the time elapsing between the last payment and the date of death. GRANT RESTS WELL. The Patient to Start for Mt.

THE WHIRLIGIG OF TIME. It will b exceedingly significatg. i! tho exiled Irish in London, Liverpool and Glasgow shall In the whirligig of time find themselves able to give their brothers at home the strength necessary to vote in or vote out an English Minister. Even the English may see that their mlsgov ernment of England Is unprofitable a# well as infamous. The English legislated to destroy Irish commerce and industry; why shall the Irish hesitate to destroy English commerce, and hy frequent, ministerial changes make insecurity prevail in the financial, commercial and manufacturing centres of England? Surely not because they represent dis tricts in England or Scotland. An ex ample has neen given to them by men who professed to be representatives of Irish districts while they were killing Irish business and strangling Irish liberty. the cabinet’s discussion. The Cabinet to-day discussed Irish coer cion for two hours, but failed to reach an agreement. Earl Spencer, in an Interview with Premier Gladstone yesterday, stated that the Irreducible minimum of ooerclon he considered indispensable for governing Ireland.

CASHMEItE’H EA RTHQUAKE. KlUty-*v*n Killed at Ssrlnsgur—The Loss ot Life in the Vale Unknown. London, June s.—An official dispatch from Serinagur gives the number of killed aud wounded by the earthquake there on Sunday' and Monday last as follows: Killed, 87; wounded, 100. Official reports have not been received yet from other points in the Vale of Cashmore affected by the earthquake shocks, and until these come to hand the full extent of the ca lamity cannot bo known. The unofficial reports of the earthquake are of such an alarming character a* to make it more than iikely that tbe earth quake will prove even more disastron* in its effects than the first dispatches stated them to be. Whole cities and towns Id “The Vale” are spoken of a# destroyed. The absence of definite news is attributed i to the demolition of the telegraph Iln. s : in the general wreck and chaos. In eon- I seouence the magnitude of the calamity und the numbers of killed and wounded are left for the imagination to supply.

GOVERNOR M’DAMEL BURE TO GRANT THE PETITION. The Point on Which the Dsfense Base TUalr Flea Not Considered Very Tenable—The Kx-President Recover ing from the Self-Inflicted VToands on Hi* Throat. Atlanta, June 5. —'To-day the counsel for W. S. Roberts, President of the in solvent Bank of Augusta, made an appeal to Gov. McDaniel to suspend his warrant extraditing Roberts on requisition of tbe Governor of New York. Mr. Roberts was indicted in New York for grand larceny, in hypothecating bonds held by him in trust. Gov. Hill made a requisition for him, and Gov. McDaniel Issued an exec utive warrant for his delivery to the New York authorities. Mr. Roberts' coun sel sued out a writ of habeas corpus in the Stale court, but Judge Roney decided that he could not hold Mr. Roberts. They thnn ap pealed to the United State* Dvs triet Court, which refused to interfere. Kromtha District Court an appeal nu taken Ui Justice Woods, of tho Supreme Court of the United States, presiding over the Circuit CouYt at Atlanta. Justice Woods affirmed the decision of the Dis trict Court. THE POINT AT ISSUE. Tne point now made before the Gov ernor Is that Roberts has been indicted in the Georgia courts for embezzlement and for swindling, and that he should be held to stand trial here. Ttiese indictments were found after the indictments In New York. The argument in the ease con sumed the entire day. The Governor withheld his decision., Mr. Roberts has now nearly recovered from the wounds in hi* throat, whioh ho inflicted with suicidal intent. It is not at all probable that anything will prevent bis delivery to the New York authorities. The offense for whioh he was indicted in New York was hypothecating of bonds of the South Carolina Railroad which had been placed in his band* by the Bethle hem (Pa.) Iron Works for the collection of interest. FALL OF A COPING. Augusta's Death Trap at Last Catches aud Kills a Victim.
