J. W. NELMS APPOINTED,
HE SUCCEEDS BRYANT IN THE
NORTHERN DISTRICT.
Senator Colquitt Lcvn for Home—The
Civil Service Commissioner Alakea a
Denial—The South Against Silver
Coinage—Music at the White House—
Namiers Not to Succeed Hay.
Washington, June 6.— The President
to-day appointed John W. Nelms, of
Georgia, to be United States Marshal
for the Northern district of Georgia.
Mr. Nelms is at present the principal
keeper of the Georgia State Penitentiary,
which office he has held for many years.
He was strongly indorsed for the Marshal
ship.
Senator Colquitt left for home this
morning, having first visited the White
House again and learned that the ap
pointment of John W. Nelms in jilace of
Marshal Bryant, resigned, would be an
nounced at once. Senator Colquitt does
not expect to return soon. He said be
fore he left that the Atlanta post office
matter had not been settled.
A DENIAL FROM COMMISSIONER EATON.
Commissioner Katon, being asked what
foundation there was for the rumors pub
lished in some of the papers lately that
there had been collisions between the
Civil Service Commission and the heads
of departments, or an unfriendly spirit
manifested on the part of the latter, and
especially on the part of the Secretary of
the Interior, toward the Commission, says
there is no foundation whatever for such
rumors. They appear, Mr. Eaton says,
to have their origin among the enemies of
reform and of the policy of the adminis
tration. No head of a department has
shown any disposition to evade the rules
or to embarrass the commission. The
htory about the commission rebuking the
Secretary of tbe Interior in connection
with a desired certification from Dakota
was utterly baseless. Secretary Lamar
has done nothing of which the commis
sion has the least ground ot complaint.
THE SOUTH AND SILVER COINAGE.
The change in the sentiment of the
South respecting the continuance of the
coinage of the standard silver dollar is
shown by the petitions which arc coming
to the Secretary of the Treasury from the
Southern States asking the suspension of
the coinage of the silver dollar. Such a pe
tition arrived to-day from South Carolina,
signed by many prominent citizens,
among them the State Treasurer and State
Comptroller. All petitions of this sort
will be presented and sent to Congress
next winter to support the recommenda
tions the President, Secretary of the
Treasury, Treasurer and Director of the
Mint will make that the coinage of the
standard silver dollar be suspended.
HAY NOT TO BE SUCCEEDED.
The statement that Dallas Sanders, of
Philadelphia, now here, is about to suc
ceed First Assistant Postmaster General
Hay is denied by Hay. He says he has no
intention of being succeeded by any one.
Sanders, it is said, may be appointed to a
good place in the Post Office Department.

House lawn this evening for the first time

Cleveland and her guest,. Miss Nelson,

NOTES FROM BRUNSWICK.
The Work of the Flames—A Sudden
Heath—Honors to Steve Wright.
Brunswick, Ga., June 6.—The farm
house and all its contents, of John Ward,
living about seven miles from Brunswick,
was consumed by lire on Monday after
noon. The tire originated from sparks
from a trash fire blown upon the root and
fanned into a flame. Mrs. Ward fainted
when she saw the flames, and in attend
ing to her all the contents of the house,
including the clothes of the family, were
lost. The loss is about $1,600.
Alderman Minehan resigned last night
and an election will have to be held to till
the vacancy.
Only fifteen vessels arrived here last
month.
Tbe wife of Rev. O. C. Clarke, pastor of
the Methodist church in this city, died

Fort Valley, and her funeral occurred
there yesterday.
A tire occurred hero on Oglethorpe
street about .7 o’clock this morning, which
destroyed five frame buildings, entailing
a loss of about $2,500. Tbe insurance is
small. Tbe hook and ladder company,
lately organized, did good service in ar
resting the spread ot the flames.
A public meeting of citizens was held
at the court house this afternoon In honor
of Steve Wright, who lost his life at the
conflagration here last Novemlier. Judge
Symmes, from the Monument Committee,

THE CABINETS POLICY.
THE PLATFORM FOR THE COM
ING ENGLISH ELECTIONS.
Chamberlain and Sir Dilke Refuse As
sent to the Irish Crimes Act—The Gov
ernment on the Verge of Disruption
The Increased Tax on Liquors De
nounced—Threatening to Resign.
London, June o.— No progress has
been made during tbe past week in ally
ing the dissensions in the British Cabinet.
The government remains on the verge of
disruption. Mr. Chamberlain is ambitious
to become an English Premier, aud Sir
Dilke, innately radical, still stubbornly
refuses to assent to Mr. Gladstone’s an
nounced policy of renewing the Irish
crimes act. It is true that the “grand
old man” yesterday retreated from his
original position tar enough to admit that
the government mean now only to renew
the bill modified, but the rebels in the
Cabinet insist that there exists in Ireland
to-day no reason aud no prospect for a
renewal in any form.
While neither Mr. Chamberlain nor Sir
Dilke have personally stated in public
that'they will resign from the Cabinet if
the Premier persists in his renewal policy,
it is generally understood that both have
actually threatened to do so, and It is not
believed that the modified policy an
nounced yesterday by tbe Prime Minister
has in any way altered the threat.
The quarrel in tne Cabinet has, in fact,
extended to other matters. The Radical
ministers are just as much opposed to the
plau of the electoral campaign formu
lated for the coming election by the Whig
members as tbey are to a renewal of the
Irish crimes act. The number of Minis
terial rebels on this point is larger
even than that arrayed against
renewal. Mr. Chamberlain, Chairman of
the Board oi Trade; Sir Charles Dilke,
President ol the Local Government Board;
G. O. Trevelyan, John Bright’s successor
in the Chancellorship of the Duchy of
Lancaster, and G. K. Shaw-LeFevre, suc
cessor to the great Fawcett, Postmaster
General, all insist on a radical platform.
These gentlemen agree that the principal
planks in the Liberal platform should be—
1. Reform in the constitution of the House
of Lords by reducing tbe number of heredi
tary peers and Increasing the number of life
titles.
2. Reform of the law of entnll. which wilt
work towards division rather than the con
centration of land titles.
3. General reform in the land laws of Great
Britain to the end that the numberof hold
ings in fee may he increased and titles to land
be easily obtained.
4. For Ireland the widest possible measure
of self-government consistent with the unity
of the British empire.
5. Public denominational education on the
principles accepted by the Irish party.
The Whig faction in the Cabinet refuse
steadfastly to accept any of these five
principles in the platform of the Liberal
party for the coming campaign, hence the
party will enter the canvass weak front a
lack of cohesion. On this account it is
more than probable that Mr. Gladstone
will be induced to remain in politics and
power for the purpose of personally con
ducting the campaign for his party. The
Liberals have no other man competent for
the task.
Lord Randolph Churchill, speaking at
Cambridge to-day, denounced the in
crease of the duties on liquor. The tax
on beer, he said, is virtually to tax bar
ley. The present is not the proper mo
ment to impose fresh burdens upon agri
culture. The whole tariff system should
form the subject of a searching inquiry.
THE AMEER ASSASSINATED.
Said to Have Been Murdered by His
Suite—Tbe Kuiuor Discredited In Lon
don.
St. Petersburg, June 6.— The Novoski
announces that it has been privately in
formed from the Caucasus that tbe Ameer
of Afghanistan, Abdurrahman, has been
murdered by bis suite. It is said that
the murder took place in Persia, wßere
the Ameer was at the time traveling,
and that Avoub Khan, the deposed
Ameer, will be his successor. The
report causes much excitement.
London, June#.—The Uusslan report
that Abdurrahman, the Ameer of Afghan
istan, has been murdered by his suite is
not credited ift the British Foreign Office.
Couriers from Cabul arrive at tbe British
posts on the Afghau troutiei twice a week
regularly. In the lutest reports brought
to the British agents at these posts, there
was no news of actual disorder in Afghan
istan, but tbe general situation in tbe
Ameer’s dominions has been described In
all recent, reports as one betokening dan
ger to Abdurrahman's authority. This
has been attributed to discon
tent among the tribal chiefs
over tbe Ameer’s failure to distribute
among them sums ot money which the
chiefs believed be received from Earl
Dufferin, the Viceroy of India, ut the re*
cent durbar at Bawal-Flmli with which
to subsidize the Afghan trilies. The
cnieU have all along felt certain that Ab
durrahman was entrusted with a large
sum of money for their benefit and that of
the IrpieNini'U, and they have chafed
under the failure to get what they have
expected as their shares. U would not
tio surprising If some of these disap
pointed chiefs should have resolved to
adopt murder us a revenge upon the
Ameer.

SAVANNAH, SUNDAY, JUNK 7, 1885.
ENGLAND AND RUSSIA.
A Definite Agreement Arrived at- The
Hope of the Frlneess of Wales.
London, June Tho Pall Mall Ga.
zette. says that it is glad to be able to state

THE DUCHY OF BRUNSWICK.
Opposition to Foreign Princes for the
Thrones of German States.
London, June 6.—Apropos of the Ger
man dispute over the right of the Duke
of Cumberland to succeed to the govern
ment of the Grand Duchy of Brunswick,
Vossitche Zeitung demands the passage
of a law excluding nil foreign Princes
from succeeding to the throne in any of
the German States. In an elaborate
argument for the passage of such a law, the
fasiiscl te Zeitung points with especial
force to the Coburg-Gothacase, in which
the Duke of Edinburgh, it says, must bo
excluded, for the reason, among others,
that succession in the German States can
not any longer tie regulated by Inviolable
family laws, but must, lie harmonized
with the higher political aims of tho Ger
man empire.
Berlin, June C. — A bill has been pre

Attachments Against llis Property for
83011,1)0(1 - A I.lst of the Sutt'erer* tils
Assets Small—The Failure Attributed
to Heavy Losses In Unauccosafitl Rail
road Kilterprises.
Boston, June 6. A special from Con
cord, N. IK, says: “Ex-Gov. Hale, of
New Hampshire, whose residence Is in
Keene, has failed with large liabilities,
llis house In Keene and his interest in
tne Keene Chair Company were attached
on Thursday with claims amounting to
over SIOO,OOO. It. is reported that his lia
bilities may resell $t,000.000. The attach
ing parties are Mr. Park, ex-Gov. Hale’s
agent, and several cf the National Banks
of Keene. It is not known to what extent
the liabilities are secured. Several other
bauks ill various parts of New England,
it is understood, held Mr. Hale’a paper to
a greater or baa extent. It is reported
that Senator Blair ami Frank W. Jones,
of New Hampshire, are among the chief
indorsers ot ox-Gov. lliile’s paper.’’
Ex-Gov. Hale's failure Inis involved a
large number of Boston people from small
amounts up to $30,000. C. A. Parks, of 17
M Ilk street, is involved to tho extent ol
$30,000. Among the Boston banks hold
ing Hale's paper are the Common
wealth National Hank, Massachu
setts National, and Freeman Na
tional. Most of tho banks holding
bis paper declare that they are secured,
but refuse to state the amounts of their
holdings. Air. Halo is largely Interested
in the Boston, Wittlbrop and Shore Rail
road, of which he was formerly President,
lie is at present a director and owns $lO,-
000 of the stock and $40,000 lit bonds— SBO,-
000 in all. The road is in no way affected
by the failure. Henry Hale, ol New York,
brother of the ex-Governor, Is said to ho
involved to the amount of SIO,OOO,
ami John Hale, another brother, for $30,-
000. It is stated that ex-Gov. Hale re
cently declared that he was worth sßoi!,-
000 ami was able to pny all his debts.
Among his assets, ho said, were $135,000
wortli of stock tn the Keene Chair Com
pany. His paper, it is alleged, was re
fused by several of tbe banks sometime

his financial standing, us tiled with

with liabilities ol SIO,OOO. Ills assets in
this city are very light, consisting only of
Mr. Hale's residence and his land and
water privileges ot the burned chair fac
