Savannah morning news TCST A.B IzISfIKD 1850. t ( J.H. ESIILL, Editor aud Proprietor, j 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. MI sic AT THE WHITE HOUSE. The Marine band played on the White House lawn this evening for the first time this season. President Cleveland. Miss Cleveland and her guest,.

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.

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. INVESTIGATING THE CHARGES. Gen. Wolseley Preparing HU Report— j lntmregaling air I’vtor Loin-Urn. London, June#. —Gen. Wolseley iscn- j gaged in the preparation of an official re- ! port on theoliaraes preferred against Gen.

If tbe reiwirt be unfavorable both Generals will b subjeebsl to special inquiry by a military council. (>iit*pokcn denunciations of the conduct of the government toward the Hriliah : Afghan Boundary Commission, report-sl to MVS been made by (Jen. Sir Pet"T Lunisilcn, on bis way home, since his re. call, have Induced the British War Office to link him whether the newspaper i liter- > views published are accurate repot ts of win" h" bus said. Sir Peter’s answer to this Int rrogatorr is awaited with interest. The authorities j in the War Office undoubtedly sympatnlze with Sir Peter Liitnsden, but tin- nu mbers . r.f the Cabinet are exasperated over his, slinging criticisms of tbo governiusiit’s management of the Afghan dispute, ami j they demand that bo repudiate them or be j punished by some signal mark of dia- ' pl' SHure of tbe government. Sir Peter ; Lutnsden’a friends say he meant every word attributed to him in tbess Interviews, 1 and that he will not repudiate a word. He believes, his friends argue, that tbe governimi tit outraged (he country and disgraced the Afghan Boundary tom mis sion, and hi will abandon ills office rather (ban retract any of tola criticism*. SAVANNAH, SUNDAY, JUNK 7, 1885. ENGLAND AND RUSSIA. A Definite Agreement Arrived at- The Hope of the Frlneess of Wales.

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 sented to tbe Biindesrath in relation to the Brunswick succession, it omits the usual deniand for urgency, an Indication that Prince Bismarck expects serious opposition to the measure.
