CLEVELAND. j Did Tilden Mpear Hewitt?—Statistics of the Cotton Crop—The Alert to he Re turned —The Postoffice Appropria tion and Other Bills. Washington, Feb. 13.—Much interest has been aroused in the medical profession by the discovery of a Brazilian plant called Alveloz; which is said to cure cancers. The fame of the plant reached this country last summer, and the attention it attracted resulted in the sending of a despatch by the department of state to Consul Atherton at Pernambuco, re questing that he secure and forward sufficient of the medicine for experimental purposes. Early last, month his report and the medicine reached the department. In his report he says: Dr Bandeira declines making any charge for his information or for the medicines. I have to re port that, in addition to the accompanying report of Dr. Bandeira, I know of a ea-e where this med icine has apparently cured cancer in the breast The woman is about her work every day, and ap pear* to be cured. There is a scar left about the size of the end of a man’s thumb, with a depth of about a quarter of an inch. The cure iapiinful, as th'- n'ace has to be opened and mor' of *he n ..k pu in. 'i i y seem to thick hen th. he plant is equally potent in its prepared form, but I think if 1 had a cancer I should prefer to Ihi treat«Mi .where I could get the plant fresh. A portion of this medicine, when it arrived, was teoured by Dr. Smith Townshend, the Health Officer of the District of Columbia, for the purpose of trying it on a patient, Capt. Duga], a man about sixty-five years of age, who was suffering from a '-aneroid of the nose of long standing. The effect was marvelous. The wound began to heal from the first appli cation, and in a very short time it Was, to all ap]>earances, cured. The cure appears to lie {permanent. Dr. Townshend says he is now treating a lady for cancer of the face, and is apparently attaining the same good results He hesitates about expressing a positive opin ion as yet regarding its virtues as a specific for cancer, but says that in these two eases it seems to have accomplished what bo other remedial agent known to medicine has done. The quantity received by tho department of state was small. The department has ordered another supply, and Dr. Townshend has also written to Consul Atherton, requesting that a supply be sent to him at his expense. A congressman who visited Mr. Cleveland recently and had something to talk about be sides the cabinet, says the president-elect tell into a chatty mood and became quit-- enter taining, The conversation turned upon the voluminous ’correspond, nee received ince the election, and Mr. Cleveland remar xl that out of thousands of letters which had come to him th relation to offices, there was < >»>«* which he really felt like answering. Said he: “That one was from a clerk in a department at Washington. He wrote saying that he was a republican, had always voted the tick* t, and had worked hard for the election of Mr. Blaine. Some time ago, not anticipating any change in the politics of the administra tion, he had bought a bouse end lot in Washington on which he had thus far made two . aymente. The third was about due, and he’.nd the money saved to meet it. Nov/ if changes were to be made and he kne he was going to low his plane, he preferred to keep the money and lot the propjrty go, as well as the payment* he had made. What ho was holding would enable him to maintain h s family whild be looked around and found something to do. If, however, he was not to be disturbed, he wanted to meet Hie payment and not jeopardize the property. That was the situation he was in. He would like to know wliat to do about it.” “Now,” Concluded Mr. Cleveland, “that was a bus’nes»-like view of the situation, and I felt like -itting down and writing that fel low he could stay.” One of the Tammany organization em ployed at the house remarked this evening that there waa one thing Samuel J. Til den had not tailed to do at the late interview had with the president-elect, and that was to effectually spear Abram 8. Hewitt and Mr. Whitney. He predicts Dorsheimer’s recog nition in the early distribution of jiatronagc.

At his father’s death, in 1877, Clarence inherit ed the bulk of the family yroicrty, consisting of ret ! estate in Lewiston and Philadelphia, worth SSO,(XX). .Mamie Bailey received $5,000 for faithful service'. Clarence was at that time nineteen years old, and had a decided talent for painting. He was, however, in very T»cx>r health, and was a sort of hypo- ( chondriac.

Wichita, Kas., Feb 13.—W. L. Couch, leader of the Oklahoma boomers, and Staf ford, Brown and Wileox, three of his follow ers who were arrested on the charge of un lawfully and feloniously conspiring together . to levy war against the United States govern ment, were arraigned before the United | Slab" commissioner on Wednesday and wie discharged without a hiMiring. The witnesses for the government failed to put in an ap-| pearance. The assistant United States attor ney discharged the prisoners. Lieut. Day and Sergts. Rogers and Wilson arrived in the evening and arrangements were made for re arresting (’ouch and the others, and giving them a hearing. Couch and the assistant United States district attorney held a consul tation and made arrangements in regard to the prosecution. Couch Is very desirous of having the matter tested in courts and will de everything in his power to further it. An enthuiastic meeting was held Wednesday evening. Speeches ore made and all ai rangemttuts were com pleted f- >r the expedition into the territory on March 5. There will be two divisions of the movement, one the Walden colony, of Kansas City, mid tlie other under Couch. The former organization refuses to a'UEate with the Payne organization, of which (.touch is leader, claim ing that h** and his fol) iwers are attempting to monopolize the best lands. They adopted to that etTi.ct. i An (Hd Claim. Beardstown, IP., Feb. 13.—History, when rot repeating it-elf, seems to be at work on important events. Through this agency, ft is not imjiossible that D. M. Irwiu, an old resi dent of this city, may yet cut some figure in v hat is termed the French spoliation bill, wlu h allows $12,000, (XX) for the liquidation of about 820,(X)0,000 of claims. Bills were presented against the French government lot ships and cargoes captured during the French revolution, and against which Bonaparte trumped up counter claims. On two occas sions bills allowing these claims have been vi b'cd, but finally a commission to adjudicate th nn has been reached. The father of Mr. Irwin had three vessels and cargoes cap tured in 1800, and if it is found that the claim was filed and presented in i egular form with others, which is more tlian probable, a small fortune awaits the Irwin heirs.

COLUMBUS. GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 15. 1885. ENGLAND GLOOMY. DEATHS OF GORDON AND EARLE HER CROWNING HORROR. Earle Goes Down at the Head of His Black Watch—Th© Greatest Martial Prepara tions of the Generation Under TV ay—Partisan Bigotry. Kortt, Feb. 13.—Gen. Earle was killed in a fight occurring near the Nile, a few miles alxjve the Dueka islands, where the Arabs had fortified a pass and built a small fort on the left side of the river. Earle’s men, consist ing of the Black Watch and South Stafford regiments, a squadron of huzzars, an Egyp tian camel corps, hospital corps, with two Egyptian artillery guns, were subjected to a heavy fire from field guns which the Arabs had placed m command ing positions. Gen. Earle had no artillery, except as mentioned, and ordered i a charge under a heavy' fire. The troops 1 scram bled up the hill and drove the A l abs from their position at the point of the bayo net, who slowly retired to a little fort of sand and mattings, from which a desperate fire was poured upon tho British. It was to cap tured this fort that Earle placed himself at the head of the Black Watch. He fell at the moment of a dearly bought victory, that in addition to Gen. Earle left throe officers and eight men killed and thirty-five wounded. The Feeling in England. London, Feb. 13.—The news of Gen. Gor don’s death and of the hideous massacre of all persons in Khartoum who were suspected of any friendship for the English or their cause j comes to London as the crowning horror of I tho nightmare under which tha British have ! been writhing for a week past. Luckily the bustle and parade of probably the greatest I martial preparations that this generation ha» seen operate to distract the public mind from brooding overmuch on the tragic Nile catas trophe. In military circles the activity avd excitement are immense. Outlying regiments are coming in to form a heavy garrison, which London needs, or thinks it needs, at the pres ent time to replace the guards who are hastily preparing to embark for Suakim. The im pending levy of volunteers brings the fact of the vastness of the enterprise home to the : e »ple, and overshadows the Khaitoum shock , for the moment. I Even in this hour of enthusiasm sensible military critics are gloomy over the two grave ' features of the new policy. One of these is. I that a summer campaign has apparently been 1 decided on, and this promises frightful losses, botli from the nature of the climate and from the battles that will lie fought. The other j feature is that Gen. Sir Frederick S. Roberts, of Cabul, has again been shelved by the par- I tisan bigotry that exists in the cabinet, and I the command given to Gen. Graham. Gen. I Roberts’ appointment would have spread uni versal trust, because of his brilliant record. It is no secret that Lord Wolseley accepted certain conditions from the cabinet which he liimself believed to be dangerous, in his eager ness to prevent the choice of Gen'. Roberts foi the original expedition. « The German Flan; ’ n Samoa. London, Feb. 13.—The rumor current ■ ' few weeks ago that Germany had annex H the Samoan Islands Ls revived, and telegravns f. am New Zeali nt t .te that to h the English and American consuls at Apia have formally protested against the hoisting of the German flag at any point in the group whica is under the protection of the United States.

They were both negroes and IxAh were murderers. Each adopted the same method in dispatching his victim—that of assassina tion. One used the revolver, the other the rifle. The causes tliat actuatexl the bloody and cruel slaughter were the same. One was purely for revenge for an imaginary wrong, the other for revenge and pecuniary gain. i Philadelphia, Feb. 13.—Richard Treuke was hanged in the corridor of the county prison here. The crime for which he was ex ecuted was the murder of Augusta Zimm, his paramour, and the wife of his friend. Treuke wanted the woman to wholly desert her hus band, which she declined to do.

While the sermon was being jireachod by tbe Rev. Dr. Van Slyke a number of ladies observed a flush on the face of the body.

I I CRAZY BILLS. THE NEW SWINDLING SCHEME OF PATCHWORK MONEY. A Package at the New York Sub-Treasury that Excited Suspicion—Evidence that the Practice of Mutilating Money is Being Indulged Id. New York, Feb. 13.—-A young man who gave his address as “Arthur Gravelle, Ren frow House, Ottawa,” presented SBIO in muti lated bills ut the sub-treasury for redemption on Wednesday afternoon. The bills were held together by a narrow paper band, and they made a jwkage about three-quarters of an inch thick. They consisted of legal tender notes and silver certificates of $5, $lO and S2O denominations. Tbe upper left-hand quarter of each bill was gone, and the pack age looked as though the missing portion was cut out all at once. The young stranger said he had bought the bills from a man who told him that they had been jiartly eaten up by rate. He was questioned closely about his own identity, but his answers were not satis factory to the sub-treasury offleera. The usual rule of the treasury department is to redeem not less than two-thirds of a bill nt its face value, when the mutilated portion clearly shows what the face value is. In this case, however, the sub-treasury officers suspected fraud and they turned the young man over to Chief Drummond, of the United States secret service. Mr. Marlor, of the sub-treasury, compared some of the mutilated bills presente I by Gra velie with one of the patched ten-d> »llar silver certificates sent in for redemption last week. The patched certiticaie comprised pieces of four different certificates. - Upon close scru iny Mr. Marlor found that one of the fourt pieces used to make the bogus certificate be longed to one of the mutilated teu-dollar silver certificates presente 1 by Gravelle. The one-quarter and the thre( -quarters matched exactly and minutely, showing that the smaller piece had been torn from the larger one. That discovery dis posed of the rat story, but there was nothing to show that Mr. Gravelle liad any hand in making the patchwork certificate. The dis trict attorney looked into the case and advised Chief Drummond that Mr. Gravelle could not be held merely for having the mutilated bills in his possession. There is abundant circumstantial evidence to show that the practice of tearing oner fifth or a quarter from a government note, and 1 malting up a new note out of the pieces, is be ing extensively indulged in. The patch-work note, in each case, is put in active circula tion, while the original notes, less one-fifth or one-quarter, are either sold at a discount or i they are sent to the treasury department for redemption. According to this theory | the package of SBIO presented to the sub-treasury by Gravelle is only one of four j packages. There must be three other simi lar packages somewhere, differing only in the | fact that in each lot a different quarter of the ; bills is missing. The rogues in this j>articular case seem to have mutilated $3,240 of good ineney.in order to make SBIO of '“patchwork” money. I LIEUT. KISLINGBURY’S DIARY. A Record of Bickering, Bad Feeling and I Dissension. Washington, Feb. 13.—The diary of Lieut. Kislingbury, of the Greely party, which has been copied in the signal office and thrown I open to inspection, covers 150 pages of fools cap and begins August 9, 1883, after the abandonment of Fort Conger, where the party had spent two winters. It appears from the diary that Lieut Kis- Kngbury was suspended from duty by Lieut Greely on the 26th of August, 1881, , Just two weeks after the arrival of the expedition at its destination. He was virtually under arrest from that time until April 8, 1884, when he was returned to duty and notified by Lieut. Greely that he ! was next in rank and should command in the event of the latter’s death. Under date of j the 10th of May, 1884, Lieut. Kislingbury writes that misumlerstanding each other for three years, that his (Kislingbury’s) conduct had been manly and commendable tin-ough out, and he (Greely) begged pardon. ()nly a few days later, however, the commanding j officer, according to Lieut. Kislingbury’s ! account, insulted him by calling him ; a liar, and their personal relations again be came hostile. The greater part of Lieut. Kislingbury’s diary- is taken up with criti cisms and complaints of Lieut. Greely, towards whom the writer seems to have en tertained a feeling of bitter resentment. , Among the acts of the commanding officer which are unfavorably commented upon are the putting under arrest during tho retreat of Dr. Pavy, whom Kislingbury character izes as “the most sensible and hardest work ing man we have along;” tbe swearing at the men and the threatning to shoot one of them (Cross) without any reason whatever. Tbe whole diary is a record of bickering, bad feel ing and Lieut. Greeley, spealting of tbe statement contained in Lieut. Kislingbury’s diary, said: “1 do not think criticism on Lieut. Kisling bury becoming. The tone of his diary re garding me speaks for itself. In ' innection with Lieut. Kislingbury, it should l>e said, as a n.atter of justice to him and me, that during the last six weeks be was at times out of his head, excitable and could not remember.
