Richmond, May 10.—Jefferson Davis’ remains will be reintered in this city, with the simple burial services of the Episcopal church, and perhaps an ar tillery salute by the Howitzers. These obsequies, for which the ar rangements have now been pretty well perfected, will bring to Richmond the largest number of military organiza tions, active and veteran, that have as sembled here since the evacuation, ex cept at the unveiling of the statute of Lee, May 29, 1890. General John Glenn, Jr., as comman der of the Louisiana division of the "United Confederate Veterans, is in charge of all the preparations at New Orleans. The special train will leave the Crescent City Sunday night, May 28, about 7:30 o’clock. The ceremonies there, previous to the departure, will be brief. Governor Foster, on behalf of the state, will, in a short address, com mit the remains to the custody of the escort which will accompany them to Virginia. This escort will embrace three repre sentatives from each of the Confederate camps in New Orleans and one from each of the other camps in the state, making in all a delegation of 35. The funeral train will reach Mont gomery Monday. The body will be. borne from the car to the capitol and placed on the front portico, where Mr. Davis took the oath as president of the provisional government. The capitol building will be draped appropriately, and there will be a mili tary and civic display. At Atlanta the casket will be taken to the capitol, and at Raleigh it will also be taken to the capitol bnilding. AN IMPORTANT DECISION. The Australian Ballot Law a Leading Feature In the Case. Cedar Rapids, la., May 9.—Judge Preston has made a most important de cision in the district court at Marion in volving the leading section of Australian ballot law. The judge h(*ds that the section which provided that no ballot without the official dorsement shall be allowed to be depos ited in the ballot box, and none but the ballots provided in accordance with the provisions of this act Bhall be counted, is pimply directory and not mandatory —that is, in case the ballots are not prepared and cast in accordance with the statutes tl\e election is not invali dated. He also held that that section of the act was also merely a directory pro viding that all ballots shall be printed at public expense, and no other ballots shall be used. The effect of the construction will be that the law may be disregarded so long os fraud is not resorted to. THE NEW YORK MARKET. DR. T. A. BAILEY, DENTIST, Office over C. E.

Whisky was noticeably weak and sold down to 18} on rumors of another impending rednetion in the price of spirits. American cotton oil has since rallied to 36, and the remainder of the list shows small recovery from lowest. At noon the market was steady. LAW AND ORDER WIN. MANUEL GONZALES. anlipas, in 1820. He was the possessor of great personal courage, which was largely instrumental in securing him a considerable following. His opportune appearance at Lomax DeTreoac was the principal feature in the campaign cul minating in the battle of Tuxtepec, in the revolution, which brought General Diaz into power. He was president from. 1880 to 1884. His wife and two sons survived him. He leaves an estate valued at $7,000,000. WE AREJOTEHEIGNS. The Spicy Interview Between Bis- sell and The Carolinians.

The White Caps Get the Worst of the Fight in Mississippi. Jackson, Miss., May 10.—Governor Stone and Adjutant Henry returned from Brookhaven and state that the opinion is growing that the White Cap trouble are fast approaching the end. Monday evening Judge Chrisman scored another victory by sentencing three of the men whom the mob attempted to release, to two years imprisonment in the state penitentiary. Thirty indictments have been found against the rioters and the court will move right along in punishing the of fenders. As in other instances, the Mississippi National Guard did splendid service, like old veterans, under command of Adjutant General Henry, and the good people of Lincoln county are praising them heartily. Students Arrested for Murder. St. Petersburg, May 10.—Eighteen members of a students’ secret society have been arrested for having murdered a colleague, who retired from the soci- etv and betrayed some of its secrets.

The Criminal Was Caught Without Any Resistance to the Military, Durango, Colo., May 10. — Henry Hunt, a cowboy just in from Mancos, reports that a tragedy occurred at Cross Canyon. Dolores county, near the Southern Ute reservation, Friday morn ing, and it is attributed to renegade Navajos. Lee Speed and Sam Elbins, cowboys, were rounding np horses for the Bar. H. outfit when some Indians appeared and claimed the stock. The pnuchers refused to give np the horses and the Indians opened fire, killing El bins. Speed was slightly woundea and escaped to the ranch. The Indians fled for the reservation after driving off the stock. Nothing further is obtainable, but the cattle men are worked np over .the incident and are desperate. A courier from Farmington arrived at 11 o’clock with a message to the ef fect that cavalry troops captured Cos- tiano, the chief of the Navajo rene gades, Friday afternoon on the reserva tion. No resistance to the military was made. Costiano will be turned over to San Jnan county authorities and placed in jail. May Take a Hand. Washington. May 10.—The disturb ed condition of affairs in Nicaragua will probably result in the United States sending a war vessel to the west coast of that country. Such action is beinj considered by Secretary Gresham, an if the revolution assumes the propor tions that now seem imminent, he will request Secretary Herbert to send one of his ships to the scene of trouble. No information has been received at the state department concerning the up rising since Consular Agent Holman wired Secretary Gresham last week that a serious revolt had occurred. News paper accounts, however, show the ad ministration that the affair is of no mean dimensions. After the Mississippi White < ape. Jackson, May 10.—The United States grand jury is now after the White Caps among whose crimes is that of driving settlers, in all cases negroes, off their homestead entries. It is said that suffi cient evidence has been obtained in several cases to identify the guilty par ties, Some of the homesteaders driven off reside in Lincoln county, the seat of the present uprising, and it is known that the new registrar of the land of fice here has been notified of similar outrages in other counties which he has referred to the district attorney with the urgent recommendation that all possible steps be taken to bring the culprits to justice. New York, May 10.—The New York lodges of Sons of St. George presented medals to Able Seaman Robert Halyard and Orderly Seaman Henry Hunt of the British warship Blake.

The presentation was made on board the Blake in the presence of the crew and a few invited guests. A TOUCHING APPEAL. American Waters Being Deserted by Foreign Fighting Vessels. ENGLISH SAILORS DESERT. Many of Tlieu* Gave Tlielr Officer* the Slip Since Coming to Now York. They Coalil Not Stand the Very Rigid Discipline. Washington. May 10.—According to general report the interview at the post office department between Postmaster General Bissell and Representative Grady, of the third North Carolina dis trict, and George E. Rose, ex-speaker of the North Carolina legislature, over the postmastership at Fayetteville, N. C., was decidedly spirited. It will be re membered that Messrs. Grady and Rose called upon the postmaster general to request the removal of the present post master, who is a negro man, appointed about a year ago by President Harri son. The ground upon which they re quested his removal was the fact that he was a Republican and therefore dis tasteful to a majority of the patrons of the office. It was also charged that he has in his employ two 6isters and a cousin, who are likewise distasteful to the white citizers of Fayetteville and that he was appointed to fill out an un expired term. Postmaster General Bissell, after lis tening to the statement of Mr. Grady, positively refused to remove the incum bent, saying with some emphasis and feeling that he would not remove him unless some specific charges affecting his competency or showing that be is obnoxious on account of his partisan ship were presented and established; that he would not consider the matter at all except from that standpoint; that the mere question of color and politics would not influence his conclusion. He was advised that the district was doubtful iu view of the fact that it is the home of the Populist leader, Butler, whose paper has a large circulation and who is now organizing the independent movement in tnat state with a view to his own election to the United States senate as the successor to senator Ran som two years hence. They expressed the opinion that Cumberland county might lose its Democratic representa tion in the legislature on that account, and the influence of such a policy on the part of the administration would be hurtful throughout the state. Postmaster General Bissell is said to have expressed some surprise that white people should be so sensitive about a matter of that sort in view of the rela tions between the two races in that sec tion. To this Representative Grady re plied that il was a question of politics, and that if it was the policy of a Demo cratic administration to retain colored Republicans in office against the protest of an overwhelming public sentiment, it simply meant political suicide as far as the Democratic narty is concerned. Mr. Rose, interrupting at this point, said that the white people in his state had only the kindest feeling toward the colored race, but that they regarded them as menials or servants, and treat ed them with that consideration which their position entitled them to. Postmaster General Bissell replied: “We are all menials so far as that goes.” “No, sir.” responded Mr. Rose, sharp ly. “The white people in North Caro lina are sovereigns.” The colloquy here ended by the post master general declaring that he would waste no further time^in discussing the matter. Subsequently Messrs. Grady and Rose called upon the president and re peated what had occurred at the post office denartment. The president re quested them to submit to him a state ment of the facts in the case for his consideration. He said that it was good policy on the part of the Democratic party to encourage the colored men wherever it could be done safely, but that he realized in the treatment of this matter that the conditions that existed in the north are different from those that obtain in the south, and should be considered from a different standpoint. The gentlemen left the president with the impression that he would not sus tain the postmaster general’s policy in this particular case. New York, May 11. — American waters are now being deserted by the great foreign war vessels that have been guests of the nation for many days, and soon most of thorn will be at their respective stations, near native shores, guarding with grim defiance the interests of tlieir country against any foreign encroachments. The four British vessels have weighed anchor and steamed out. The Blake, the Magicienne ami the Tartar wili go direct to Bermuda. Tho Australia will part company with tho others at Sandy Hook and go to Hali fax. The French fighter, Jean Bart, has steamed away for Rochefort, but tho other two Frenchmen will remain for Borne time. Tlie Hussar will start on May 20 for Martinique, and on the 22d the Aretlius% will depart for Dakar. About the 15th the Dutch ship Van Speyk will leave for Bermuda, and abont the 21st the two German ships will get off. The Kaiserin Augusta will go to Europe and the Seeadler will begin a cruise aronnd the world. The speedy Argentine cruiser Nenvo Do Julio will leave for South America on the evening of the 30th. The Brazilians and the Italians are waiting for instrnctions from their re spective governments. The Russian fleet, which will remain a month yet, is likely to be joined soon by *he Em peror Nicholas I,* Admiral Nachimoff and Pomiato Azona, which, at last ac counts, were fast in the ice in the gulf of Finland. It is learned that the British flagship Blake had lost over 40 men of her crew up to Saturday last by desertion. Tl^e British armored cruiser Australia, has lost seven men, and the two British cruisers. Magicienne and Tartar have lost more than 20 between them. In all the British fleet has lost by de sertion more than 70 men since its arri val in this port. From the officers of the Blake it is learned that the men who have deserted are for the most part sailors whom the ships could not well spare. Every cruiser which leaves England, the offi cers say, is bound to be tilled up with a number of indifferent men. This class finds life aboard a smartly drilled ves sel anything but pleasant. The officers soon single out the objectionable men and proceed to either cure them or make life in Her Majesty’s service any thing but acceptable. In consequence of the discipline which is applied to the drones the latter man age, it is said, to find it convenient to desert in the first favorable port. New York is the first United States port in which the Blake had given lib erty to her men since the big ship left England. • FOUND IN THE HUDSON. Russian* If ho Have Escaped Perseca tlon Plead for Protection. Washington, May 10.—George Ken- nan has transmitted to the president a protest from “a group of edneated and patriotic Russians, now living tempora rily in one of the cities in western En • rope.” They ask the president to with hold his signature from the treaty with Russia, ratified by the senate, as it pro poses to surrender to the Russian gov ernment all persons accused of making an attempt on the life of the czar or any member of his family, either ac tively or by connection with a conspi racy having such an attempt in view. • They declare that the Russian people are beaten and driven like cattle, and are living in the blackest misery. They ask him not to lend his support to ty ranny. It concludes: People of America—We are not politi cal suspects iu our own country, and we are at liberty to return to it. we are not actuated by hatred, nor by res-ntment for personal injustices. Oar only reason for appealing to you is the conviction that you can ba made to understand the terrible situation of the people who seek refuge and protection in your country, and who are pursued even there by their government for doing what you yoarself would do if. for a single month, yon were citizens of Russia*- - The Body of One of the Escaped Prison ers from Sing Sine. Sing Sing. May 11.—Tho body of Frank W. Rochle who, with Thomas Pallister, escaped from the death house in Sing Sing prison April 20, has been found in the Hudson river, opposite Rockland, directly across the river from Sing Sing. The body was found by three fisher men, Fred Crank, Benjamin Flynn and Benjamin Stratton. They towed the remains of the murderer to the upper dock and immediately notified the prison officials. State Detective Jackson and Principal Keeper Connaughton at once repaired to the spot and identified the body by means of a picture and the prison shoes which the dead murderer wore. The body was much decomposed. Fisherman Crank thinks he saw another body further down the river, but did not go after it as he had the body of Roehle iu tow. Searching parties are now trying to find the body of Pallister in the river. Natural Gas Exploslou. Anderson, Ind., May 11.—About 12 o’clock, midnight, the residence of Eli Murray was blown to pieces by a natu ral gas explosion. The family, consist ing of husband, wife, daughter and son, were blown out into the yard. Mr. and Mrs. M. Murray, it is thought, were fatally hurt. Elsie, aged 16, was more bruised than burned. Charles, aged 13. was burned about the face and hands. The injured persons are unable to give any cause for the explosion. The Mur ray residence, a fine 2-story one, was entirely destroyed, with all the furnish ings. The fire communicated to George Greyer’s house, and it was almost to tally destroyed. No Libel Against the Steamer. San Francisco, May 11. — United States Judges McKinney, Hawley and Morrow, sitting in court of appeals here, have affirmed the judgment of the United States district court, southern California, dismissing the libel against the Chilian steamer Itata, releasing the vessel and 200 cases of rifles which she had on board when seized by the United States marshal in San Diego harbor two years ago. The decision of the court is very lengthy, and reviews the details of the late revolution. The court finds that the state of affairs, as alleged in tha librf —l UaiuilijiaiuuWMliU
