TANNBR’3 TENURE OF OFFICE. The Corporal Realizes That It is Very Uncertain. Washington, Aug. 15. —Corporal Tanner realizes that his tenure of office is not as yet fixed. He has ignored the hints to re sign, which his superiors have given, but he knows that he may receive hints which he cannot ignore. He is going to the na tional encampment of the G. A. R. to forestall such action. He is pull ing wires to procure such an indorse ment for his course from that encampment as will make his position impregnable. Ho expects to go accompinied by Uncle Jerry Rusk and Col. W. W. Dudley, and escorted by the depart neut of the Potumao delega tion in a special train, with a brass band. HIS SCHEME. He hopes to hurrah his way through t’ e oncampment. Conservative G. A. R. mea express apprehension that he may succeed in this attempt. “If he does,” said one, “it will seriously dam age the reputation of the G. A. R.” Meanwhile Secretary Noble is having the rerating cases, including Senator M inder son, reviewed by Assistant Secretary Chandler. They may all bo reviewed. Cor poral Tanner is preparing ammunition ior the hand to hand fight he expects. Ho says three medical examiners and two outside physicians furnished the evidence on which Senator Manderson got his rerating. GOVERNMENT TELEGRAMS.

Post master General Wanamaker has entire charge of the whole matter, and is in con ference with Presideut Norviu Green of the Western Union in regard to it. While it Is expected that an agreement will soon be reached, none has yet been arrived at so far as is known at the depart ment here. Assistant Postmaster Gentral Clarkson said this evening that it should be understood that there had never been an official promulgation of the proposed rate of a mill a word, aud that, therefore, no such rate had ever gone into effect. The old rate of a cent a word re mained in operation until the new rate is fixed upon, but the government messages are being sent upon the understanding that they will tie charged for aud paid hereafter upon the basis which may be finally decided upon, A NEW RULE FJK DISTILLERIES. Refilling of Casks or Packages Not Al lowable Now. Washington, Aug. 15. —The commis sioner of internal revenue has issued a cir cular prohibiting the refilling at distilleries of casks or packages previously used at the same distillory. The circular says that the practice of many distillers to use and re-use, constantly, the same package for conveying spirits from distilleries to rectifying houses has been permitted because it is alleged that it is a saving to tbe distillers in cooperage; but a full investigation shows that it results in groat loss of revenue to the government, by reason of the tax ou part of the contents being evaded each time that the package is so refilled and re-used, and the loss in creases with each re-use. SAVED FROM ARENAS. Thu Osslpee Brings the Surviving Sen men to Key We3t. Washington, Aug. 15.—The navy de partment has received a telegram from Commander Kellogg reporting the arrival of the United States steamer Ossipee to day at Key West.

CLAX-NA.GAI-L PICNICS. THE CRONIN AND ANTI-CRONIN FACTIONS DIVIDE. Resolutions Adopted by the Former Declaring That the Murder Was Perpetrated to Save Borne of the Leaders from Exposure—The Other Crowd Take the Opposite Side. Chicago, Aug. 15.—The Cronin and anti- Cronin sections of the Clan-na-Gae! held the annual Clan-na-Gael picnic at Chelten ham teach and Ogd,eu’s grove, respectively. There were tbe usual series of games. At the Cronin demonstration addresses were made by Congressmen Foran of Cleveland and Lawler of Chicago, John Devoy of New York and others. Resolutions were adopted pledging support to Parnell and the Irish cause, and denouncing the Cronin murder as the most heinous crime of the century. THE RESOLUTIONS. The Cronin resolutions are in part as fol lows: Resolved, That we denounce, with all the force of indignant language, our utter ab horrence of the assassination, murder, and moral assassination resorted to by the mur derers of Dr. Cronin, to cover up the em bezzlement of money aud betrayal of the peo ple, whose devotion to the cause of liberty too often makes them the victims of designing k naves. t Resolveit, That we brand as the most malioi lous, libel and moral assassination the infamous report that I)r. Cronin was an agent of England. On the contrary, knowing him to have lieeu a devoted defender of honesty aud truth, we hereby ilelare it to be our soletnu conviction that for his faithful adliereuce to the Irish cause, honesty and truth, he was foully mnrder© i to prevent the exposure of the actual criminals, who have dragged down that cause in blood and tears into the dust of our Gethsemane. The pumshmout of the murderers is then demanded. THE ANTI-CRONIN OUTING. The anti-Cronin section had for speakers Senator Thomas F. Grady of New York, Judge Fitzgerald of Cincinnati and others. Resolutions were adopted expressing sym pathy with the Irisn people, aud declaring willingness to aid them in such peaceful measures as they may choose to adopt to secure home rule from England. The resc lutions continue: 'Vo meet here to-day, among other reasons, for the purpose of vehemently denouncing the atrocious murder of Dr. Cronin in our capac ity ae American citizens; out we hold that as Irish-Americ&ns we have no more right to lie held responsible for that foul atrocity than has any other clement of our body politic for crimes committed by per sons to whom they are kindred. We devoutly hope that the officers authorized by tiie law wifi succeed in bringing to justice the assassins of Dr. Cronin. We repudiate, both as American citizens and as Irish-Ameri cans, the claim made by the enemies of our race that the Irish element has any desire or any purpose to make the soil of America the theater of acts of vengeance, because of the feuds, factions or disagreements growing out of political differences or personal hurts. HOT SPEECHES. John Devoy, in his speech, strongly de nounced Michael Davitt and Patrick Flgan, and Congressman Lawler called ex-Con gressmati Fiuerty a liar, pal roon and scoundrel. Rev. Father Toomey of Polo, 111., surpassed the others with a hot attack on Patrick Ford and John Finertv, the “arch consp rator.” A MISSING MAIL POUCH. The Bag Stolen at Nashville in the Same Manner That a Previous One Went. Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 15.—A special to the Appeal from Nadivide, Tenn., savs: “The local postoffice authorities are excited over the mysterious disappearance of a bag of mail intended for a sta tion between Nashville and New Orleans, the excitemont being intensified by the fact that this is the second which has been lost within throe months. Bank officials here are also greatly interested as it is understood that the missing mail contained many checks. The post office department at Washington has been notified and a special agent will be sent to this city to investigate the matter. The mail left the postoffice on Monday night, last, and the contractor who con veyed the mail t the depot, declares that be saw the driver of the wagon placa the bag in the car, but is not sure it was put in the right one. The loss of the first mail bag on May 7, last, baa never been accounted for. A search was made ou the various lines in the hope that some clew as to its whereabouts might be ob tained. The impression is that it was stolen from the car, and the letters rifled of their co tents. Tha banks will be greatly inconvenienced by the loss, and it will tako them two months to get their business straightened out.” LUCK OF THE DUELISTS. Gov. Seay Not Empowered to Demand Their Extradition. Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 15.—Every thing sent from Birmingham to the effect that Gov. Seay while here expressed any intention of proceeding by requisition against Messrs. Calhoun and Williamson for dueling in Cherokee county is the purest sensationalism and without founda tion. Gov. Seay positively declines to say one word to anybody about his intentions, and to all interviewers merely si.id that it would be improper to talk. He went from here to Sheffield and Florence, and has done nothing more than communicate with Solicitor Lusk, of the Cherokee circuit court, calling his attention to the matter. Gov. Seay could proceed only ou warrants sworn out by some citi zen, and uo Alabamian has been found who saw the duel or can make affidavit. Only Georgians were there. These sensa tional reports are putting the governor of Alabama in a ridiculous attitude before the country'. He could not, if ho would, pro ceed without evidence. It is not probable that anything will be done until the Cher okee grand jury meets, and unless some Alabama witness turns up that body wiU be powerless. MONTANA’S PRAIRIE FIRES. Milee City Surrounded by Far-Reach ing Walls of Fire. Miles City, Mont., Aug. 15.—The prairies a few miles to the north aud south east of here are on fire. The fires cover an area of thousands of acres.

Purvis, Miss., Aug. 15.—A jury was completed after considerable delay to-day, and John L. Sullivan placed on trial. “Stand up, John L. Sulli an,” said Dis trict Attorney Neville. Sullivan stood up and lo iked straight at Mr. Neville as the latter read the indictment. “What say you, Johu L. Sullivan! Guilty or not guilty 1” ’’Not guilty,” replied Sullivan, with em phasis, in a clear voice. He then sat down and the trial was be gun in earnest. He paid strict attention to the proceedings dunug the day, but offered no comments, leaving Lionel Adams, who represented the fighter, to suggest questions to ex-Attorney General Ford, who con ducted the cross-examination for tbe de fense. TAKING THE TESTIMONY. The witnesses were all sworn together. There were none for the defense. The first witness examined was Maj. W. \V. Robin son. He went to Ricnburg ou the morn ing of July 8, arriving there before day light. He was a deputy sheriff. He saw the ring pitched. He proceeded to give a Yery good account of what took place, de scribing the preliminaries and the fighting in the ring iu a clear manner. “Did they hit each other?” asked Mr. Neville. “Hit!” said Robinson, .“Look at Sulli van’s eye!” [Laughter.] On cross-examination the witness said tha rings were square and looked more like pens. He never saw such rings bofore. Tha witness said that tha fight was in Marion county, but ou cross-examination admitted that he could not exactly locate the battla ground and does not know where the county line is. Tho witness testified that he .saw Sullivan jump oa Kilrain with his knees, and affirmed positively that Sullivan’s knees touched Kilrain’s body. After several other witnesses had testi fied tha state rested their case, and as there are no witnesses ou the other side, it was agreed that the case go over until to morrow.

The London Lancet, the noted medical journal, publishes a five column review of the trial, and comes to the conclusion that the evidence warranted the verdict. gets into parliament. London, Aug. 15. —In the House of Lords this evening. Lord Fitzgerald asked whether the government would consider tbe necessity of constituting a court of crimi nal appeal. He referred to tho Alaybrick case as forcing the question upon the public mind. Baron Halsburg. lord high chancellor, said lie was opposed to making tho question a subject of discussion at a time when the public was excited. It was not desirable, he said, to debate such alteration of the law while jurors, witnesses aud a judge were being subjected to brutal violence and intimidation. He declared that insults had been heaped upon|the home secrotary in order to influence him iu tne discharge of a solorn duty. ACTIVITY OF HER NEW YORK LAWYERS.

Alfred Alonclt, a lawyer of M mtroal, sends a letter to tho firm, stating that a Mrs. Yapp, answering the description of Mrs. Yapp, who was the chief wit ness against Mrs. Maybriclt, had to leave Montreul about three years ago to escape the possibility of being indicted for perjury. At that time a man named Aialvln Smith brought an action agai.ist his wife for separ ation. Mrs. Yapp was the chief witness for Smith and gave very damaging evidence against his wife. It was shown, however, that Smith’s mistress and the woman Yapp had, with Smith’s aid, plotted a deep o >u spiracy to blacken Mrs. Smith’s character. The pi t failed, however. Mrs. Yapp tied tli© country immediately thereafter. PORTLAND’S INTEREST. Dudley M. Homan, managing editor of the Portland (Me.) Evenin j/ Express, also sends a letter stating that Mrs. Maybrick once lived in Portland, wherejshe was highly re spected. He asks the advice of the lawyers regarding the propriety of getting a peti tion signed by the leading citizens of Port land ad forwarding tho same to Secretary of State Blaine, requesting him to interest himself iutheoaso. The lawyers wrote a reply in approval of the idea. A well-known lawyer, who arrived to day from England, and who was present during Judge Stephens’ charge t > the jury, was soen at Roe & Macltlin’s offices. Ho does not wish his name published. While in England he gave tho Alaybrick case a carefui study. THE JUDOK’S CHARGE PREJUDICED. “1 never heard such a prejudiced charge delivered,” said ho, “by a judge iu my many years’ experience at the bar. Mrs. May brick’s lawyers could not get in a word edgewise. When they endeavored to curb Judge Stephens iu his charge they got snub lied for their pains. All tho people in England were oppoied to the conviction except tho judge. 1 do not think the home secretary will allow the woman to ho exe cuted. I called to see her after her conviction, and she presented a pitiful sight. Sho exclaimed: ‘I did not do it, I did not do it. My folly I admit. 1 was lod astray by a man who had unnatural influ ence over me. That was my only sin. i would sooner have lost my life than hurt one hair of my husband’s head.’ ” Roe & Macklin will forward the evidence they have to Secretary Blaine at once. OPENING OF LETTERS.
