THE CABINET
OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED AT LAST.
The Senate Called to Order by Vice Presi
dent Hendricks Galleries Densely
Packed With Spectators—Names ot
Mr. Cleveland’s Advisers Sent In
—The Radicals Treat the Presi
dent With Discourtesy by
Not Promptly Con
firming Them.
Washington, March 5. —’’romptly at 12
o’clock to-day Vice-President Hendricks
called the Senate to order. Nearly every
Senator was in his seat and the galleries
were densely packed with spectators. Im
mediately after prayer and the reading of
the journal, Mr. Allison, chairman of the
committee appointed yesterday to wait upon
the President, and inform him that the Sen
ate was ready for business, reported that
the President had desired the committee
to state that he would communicate with
the Senate in writing. In the meantime
the nominations for the Cabinet had been
received, as follows :
For Secretary of State—Thomas F. Bay
ard, of Delaware.
For Secretary of the Treasury—Daniel
Manning, of New York.
For Secretary of War—William C. En -
dicott, of Massachusetts.
For Secretary of the Navy—William C.
Whitney, of New York.
For Postmaster General — William F.
Vilas, of Wisconsin.
For Attorney General—Augustus H. Gar
land, of Arkansas.
For Secretary of the Interior—L. Q. C.
Lamar, of Mississippi.
On motion of Senator Sherman, the Sen
ate at once went into executive session on
the nominations. The galleries were cleared
with difficulty, and the doors closed. At
12:40, without confirming the nominations,
the Senate reopened its doors and adjourned
till to-morrow.
LATER.
The reason of adjournment without action
is understood to be that objection was raised
by Mr. Riddleberger to the confirmation of
Mr. Bayard, based on his alleg d anti-Irish
sentiments.
ENGLAND AND RUSSIA.
A Sprck of War on the Horizon.
London, March 5. —The Russian Ambas
sador, Biron Mohrenheim, to-day called on
Mr. Gladstone at the lat'er’s official resi
dence. The Ambassador was the bearer of
several important despatches from his gov
ernment, relating to Afghanistan affairs
He remained closeted with Gladstone for a
long time. The action of the Russian Min
ister in going direct to the Premier instead
of Lord Granville, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, as customary, has given rise to
considerable comment, and it is generally
regarded as an indication that the govern
ment has determined to learn from Glad
stone’s own lips England’s intention with
regard to the recentjadvances by Russia in
Afghanistan.

CARLOS AGUERO REPORTED SHOT.
The Report Not Generally Credited.
New York, March s.—The Spanish
Consul-General, Miguel Suarez Guanes, re
ceived a dispatch from the Governor-Gen
eral of Cuba Wednesday afternoon stating
that “Carlos Aguero was killed yesterday
at Colon by the civil guard.” Prominent
Cubans in this city who are in sym
pathy with the insurgent movement,
of which Maximo Gomez, at New
Orleans, is the chief mover in
the United States, and Aguero, who has f
lately been acting under his orders, the
Lieutenant in Cuba, said last night that they
did not believe the report of Aguero’s death. <
A rumor to the effect that he was shot, to- :
gether with one of his followers named ,
Morejon, at Amerillos, in the jurisdiction of j
Colon, had been received by them several
days ago. Early last year the Spanish an- 1
thorities made unsuccessful efforts to have
Aguero extradited from Key West, Fla. In |
April he organized a small band of followers (
and quietly made his way to Cuba. Since '
then he and a small laid hive led 1
a filibustering warfare in different parts of
the island. It is supposed, if the story is ,
true, that while Aguero and some of his
followers were making a raid on some large
plantation in the Colon Providence, a troop
of the civil guards, who are regular soldiers ■
in the Spanish Army, who pa.rol the roads I
both night and day, surprised the party and I
shot its leader.

The pit in the city was broken up a few I
nights ago, and the chicken men are now
engaged in building a good pit just outside

that there is no State law against chicken
fighting. At least the chicken men say so.
They also say they are going to test the
matter. It is probable that the suburban

The New Cabinet.
Taking it for granted that Messrs Bay
ard, Manning, Lamar, Garland, Whitney,
Endicott and Vilas will constitute Mr.
Cleveland’s cabinet, the New York Sun,
which bitterly assailed Mr. Cleveland during
the campaign which resulted in his election,
admits that it “is a solid and competent
cabinet.” It says, “no one can question the
fitness of Mr. Bayard to take charge of the ,
foreign relations of the country ;” it regards
Mr. Manning as a man “of much judgment,
moderation, dignity and power ;” Mr. Lamar
is pronounced “a man of genius,” and it
says Mr. Endicott has “gained distinction 1
as a judge, and his appointment i
to the war office is wise and commendable.’’ i
Tne Sun also speaks highly of Messrs. .
Whitney and Vilas, rnd says, while it has f
objected to Mr. Garland on the ground that i
on many important questions his opinions
are Federalist and not Democratic, “of his
ability as a lawyer there can be no ques -
tion.” The Sun concludes: “The fact re- 1
specting this Cabinet that will be particu- t
larly criticised is the presence in it of two <
New Yorkers, Messrs. Manning and Whit- :
ney, and the question which will be most
dwelt upon is the influence of this fact upon
the politics of New York and upon the next
State election. What will that influence be ? i
Will it strengthen the Democrecv in the
contest of next fall or not 1 We th nk it will
tend to strength, and not to weakness; and
for this reason we are disposed to approve '
it.” ;
SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1885.
GENERAL GRANT.
HIS CONDITION SOMEWHAT MORE
FAVORABLE.
He Persists In Working Notwithstanding
the Pain He Sutlers—General Sympathy
Felt for Him—Remedies Used to
Give Relief—What Dr. Lewis
Sayre Says of Cancers in
General.
New York, March 3. —The favorable
symptoms of General Grant’s condition yes
terday were a refreshing sleep during Sun
day night and freedom from pain. He
awoke at the usual hour in the morning,
but soon closed his eyes again and took an
hour’s nap, after which he said he felt very
much better.
He retained very little of the food placed
before him for breakfast, but made several
efforts to eat during the day, and took about
the same amount of nourishment as last
week. He swallowed with a little more
ease than previously, and said he did not
feel any more pain than on Sunday. He
persisted in working for a time on his book,
and parts of the morning papers were read
to him by his sons. The deluge of letters
and telegrams which commenced flowing in
on Saturday continued all day Monday
Only such portions as would tend to cheer
him were read to the Genera), or such as
were from rery intimate friends.
Cyrus Field and William H. Vanderbilt
sent to the house to inquire after his condi
tion, and many carriages and people on foot
were seen before the residence, but not even
personal friends were admitted to see him.
This was due to the unfavorable symptoms
of fatigue and worry. Many genliemen who
saw him on Saturday were very much sur
prised last evening on being loid by Har
rison, the attendant, that he had orders not
to admit them.
Dr. Douglass went to the house earlier
than usual and remained last evening until
nearly midnight, which was t« o hours later
than usual time. The General dressed
about noon and insisted on sitting up in
spite of his exhausted condition. He is
now 63 years old, but thinks himself as well
able to bear up as when he was 40. It is
difficult for his family to persuade him dif
ferently, and the result of his persistent
work is greater fatigue than he can recover
from in a night's rest. For that reason
he lies abed till nearly noon every
day. Dr. Douglass cleansed the
cancer in the General’s mouth twice
yesterday at 10 o’clock, and in the evening
applied the local anaesthetic, cocaine, which
he uses to deaden the pain and allow of bet
ter rest at night. The doctor said to a
reporter at midnight: “Gen. Grant was
better this evening. He ate the usual
amount of food in liquid form, and said he
did not suffer much from pain. I cannot
say whether he was cheerful or not, because
the General is a man who says very little,
and it would be almost impossible for any
one to tell what mood he is in. 1 have not
prescribed as to whether he shall see callers
or not, but suppose his friends will use
their own discretion in that direction.”
Dr. Lewis A. Sayre, speaking of the na
ture of cancers yesterday, said: “I have
known cancers in the lip which owed their
origin to smoking an old clay pipe. It was
not nicotine, but the hard substance of the
nipe. When General Grant first stopped
smoking I understand-that his throat trou
ble grew worse, and he went back to his old
habit. I would not say that his disease is
incurable, because you can’t tell whether it
is or not, such is the mysterious character of
ihe disease. When I was a young physician
I was called to see a woman afflicted with
cancer in the breast. The swelling was very
great, and the blood veins which flowed
over the locality were as large around as
cigars. I thought the woman would die, but
she insisted that something should be done,
and I advised her to apply a compression of
cold water and ice over the diseased spot
and take small doses of arsenic. That was
thirty-seven years ago, and the woman is
alive and well to-day.
“Dr. Ast ey, of Lancaster, Pa., has been
successful in many cases. He removes the
cancer and feeds arsenic. As long as the
arsenic was fed the cancer did not return.
In one instance this treatment was followed
for a while; and then by the advice of other
physicians the arsenic was discontinued.
The cmcer at once returned. It is generally
considered that genuine cancer is incurable,
and when alleged cures are reported it is
argued that they were not cancers. Ido
not advise arsenic as a steady diet, but it
puts the blood in good condition if taken
properly.”
“What is the difference between tumor
and cancer?” Dr. Sayre was asked.
“A real tumor is a hard swelling which
is cut out and amounts to nothing, but the
malignant tumor is of the nature of cancer.
It is not known how cancers originate.
Some say they are formed by the blood, but
I do not see what there is in the blood to
make them. They are sometimes hereditary,
and they often come from injuries and are
found in all parts of the body.”
She Would Rather Have Two Jeremiahs
Thau No Husband at AH.
Texas Siftings.
There is a bad state of affairs in Corpus
Cbristi, Texas. Jeremiah Pomstock and
his wife quarreled a great deal. They led a
regular cat and dog life. Finally, Mrs.
Pomstock went before a Justice of the
Peace and asked him to have her husband
arrested and bound over to keep the peace.
“Perhaps you had better sue for a di
vorce,” suggested the Justice.
“What! Get rid of Jeremiah and be
without any husband?” exclaimed Mrs. Pom
stock. “Why, I would rather take another
one besides Jeremiah than do without any
at all.”

A DETECTIVE’S TALK.
Some Professional Secrets Not Generally
Known to the Pub He.
Chicago Tribune.
“I’ve got to testify in a divorce case next
week,” said a private detective yesterday,
“and I’m afraid that the case will injure
my business; but I’m subpoenaed, and I
guess I’ll have to stand the consequences,”
“Is that your line of business?”
“Well, hardly; but you see that catching
criminals is not as good as tracking hus
bands, wives, and young men. ft pays
better, there are no risks in it, and looking
up the whereabouts of criminals is a buei
ness that I’ve given up.”
“Who are your customers?”
“Take a woman who wants to find out
how her hnsband acts at ‘the lodge,’ or a
yobng woman who is engaged to a wild
youngster, and they’ll pay almost any price
for the information. They’re a queer set,
and when I make a report to them they read
it over and over. I’ve got $25 from a
woman on a South Side avenue for looking
I up the actions of her would-be husband.
I The fellow was a bad ’un. She thought so,
but couldn’t find out herself, so I was em
ployed. I made a report of his doings, and
the result was that the match was broken,
and the young fellow was out a nice wife
and quite a fortnne.”
“How do you manage such esses ?”
’ “Oh, easy enough. Now in the case of a
young woman who has some doubts as to the
morals of the man who is to wed her, of
- course she does not want, to marry a man
who is not the pink of propriety, and wants
to find out just how he acts. He’ll tell her
that he doesn’t drink, gamble, play billiards
. etc. She doubts it, and hires one of our
men to catch him. After they return from
the theatre he bids her an adieu and starts
, direct for home. We follow him. In nine
cas.’s out of ten he enters the first saloon on
> his way and indulges in about eight hot
■ whiskies. Then he has a gome of seven-
i up with some boon companions and takes
several more drinks. He arrives at home
: about four o’clock in the morning. We
make a regular report and send it to the
I ' woman. The next time the man calls on
her he is asked if he got home all right,
I etc. He says he did, and then the report is
> read to him. He weakens, confesses, and
i the wedding is indefinitely postponed. I
1 I caught a bank clerk that way several
• 1 weeks ago, and it resulted in a disagree-
I inent fortwith.”
t i “What about the divorce case?”
r l “Well, that was queer. A South Side
i woman had some doubts as to the actions of
her husband, a d wanted to ascertain what
; kept him from home until the early morn
ing hoars. His Ldge had meetings every
: night—at least, he told his wife such was
i the case. She thought differently and em
ployed me to follow him He was paying
i attentions to another woman, and when his
wife found it out there was a scene, and the
1 divorce proceedings are the result.”
> This was a nice little story, but it is more
: than likely that he was drawing very large’y
> on his imagination for these “facts.” The
, average young woman, upon becomin i en
gaged, does not hire a detective to follow
her young man.
[[BLOWN FIFTEEN HUNDRED FEET.
Tlie Terrific Flight of a Locomotive Boiler
A despatch from Corning says: A line-
> freight train from thg Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad bound north, was disabled
by a parted coupling at Lothrop’s, near
; Lawrenceville, on the Fall Brook Road on
Saturday evening. The train parted near
the engine. Next to the caboose was a
car containing 20,000 pounds o* gunpowder.
A flagman was sent back to warn a coal train
which was approaching at full speed. The en
' gineersaw the flag too late to prevent a
collision. He reversed the lever and jump
. ed. His example was followed by the
fireman. Both lay flat as the engine plunged
through the caboose into the powder car.
The car ignited and blew up and the boiler
1 burst. The caboose was dispersed in minute
fragments. The engine and boiler were
hurled 1,500 feet across the Tioga river. A
piece of iron weighing over 50 pounds was
carried two-thirds of a mile. Cylinders,
bent rails and fragments of machinery and
cars were thrown hundreds of feet.
Five ears of merchandise were des
troyed and eleven blown into splinters.
Twenty-five cars were wrecked in
all. The explosion made a hole in
' the road-bed 10 feet deep and 30 feet broad
Branches of trees in the neighborhood were
strewn with garments, neckties and other
merchandise. The track was destroyed for
considerable distance. No one was killed.
The train men who had left the caboose and
gone ahead were thrown prostrate by the
shock. Driving wheels and other heavy
1 pieces of wreck passed over the heads of the
engineer and fireman, but they escaped
without injury. The explosion was felt and
heard in Corning and Elmira, 20 miles from
' the scene of the accident. Windows were
' shattered in houses over a mile distant. The
1 track was cleared for traffic by noon. The
loss is estimated at over $50,000.

THE RICE QUESTION.
Probable Effect of France Treating the
Cereal as Contraband of War.
Mr. Dan Talmage, of Dan Talmage Sons
& Co., of New York, the largest handlers of
rice in the United States, spent a few days
in the city this week, and before he left for
Washington last evening a Times reporter
interviewed him regarding the declaration
of the French Admiral Courbet that rice
should be treated as contraband of war, if
bound for Chinese ports. “This declaration,”
said Mr.Talmage, “has excited no little inter
est in this country as to the possible scope of
the decision. The immediate effect of this
decision has been to cause advances in the
rice markets abroad, but we cannot see the
least cause for apprehension, since the sup
ply of the world is mainly drawn from the
East Indies, that is the rice growing dis
tricts of Hindoos'an and Burmah. As the
declaration only covers cargoes bound for
Chinese ports, I think it would only have a
local effect and cut off the supply of the com
batants. I think apprehension may have been
excited because of the possible extension of
the principle to outbound cargoes, and if so
it would undoubtedly involve the interest
of other nations China’s exports are not
large, nor yet inconsiderable. The Chinese
• prefer their own products and the im
ports in the United States annually are
about 300,000 bags. If France should as
sert the right of search and seizure of out
ward bound goods on neutral vessels, I do
not doubt but every civilized country in the
globe, the United States included,
1 will take sides against her. As I remarked
before I do not see any cause for apprehen
sion that this declaration will Shave any
effect on the rice market. The main
sources of supply are not interfered with,
1 the stock of 1,500,000 bags now in English
and continental ports is sufficient to meet
the demand for several months to come.”
“Tlie Silver King.”
Harry Miner’s celebrated “Silver King,”
company, with tie great cast and beautiful
scenery which made its success last season
so memorable, will be the attraction at the
Savannah Theatre this evening, Friday and
Saturday nights and Saturday matinee.
F. C. Bangs will be seen as the “Silver
King,” together with a strong company
especially engaged by Mr. Miner.
The scenery is pronounced by connoisseurs
to surpass in dazzling magnitude all previ
ous efforts.
“The Silver King” is a melodrama of the
most conceivable interesting nature.
The theme of the story was suggested to
the English writers, Messrs. Jones and
. Herman, by Tennyson’s lines, “In Memo
riam.”
I hold it truth with him who sings
On one clear harp of divers tones,
1 That men may rise on stepping-stones
g;Of their dead selves to higher things.
The play is in five acts, and its main plot
is simple, the scenes being in England
Wilfrid Denver, a young man in good posi
tion in life, is married to a loving wife, but
takes to gamb ing on the turf, with the ac
companiment of drunkenness. He is jeal
ous of a former rival of his, Geoffrey Ware,
who still hangs about his wife and endeav
ors to poison her mind against him. In
one of his mad fits he goes to this young
. Ware’s room with the intention of attack
ing him, but on his arrival he disturbs
seme burglars, the head of whom is a swell
“cracksman,” familiarly known as The
Spider. When Denver enters the room
The Spider, to avoid detection, silences him
by the use of chloroform, which has no
sooner been accomplished than theoccupyer
1 of the room, Geoffrey Ware, returns to) find
' his place ransacked. A scuffle ensues,
during which The Spider shoots Geoffrey
Ware, and he and his accomplice escape.
Denver, waking from his stupor, finds
1 the dead body of his former rival on
■ the floor, aad is under the impression that
, he has murdered him. After a most exciting
. scene with his wife, he starts by train, tak
. ing a ticket for a distant place, but jumps
i out of the carriage when thirty miles on the
' road, to elude the police officers, who have
. telegraphed to have him arrested at Rugby.
, Eventually he reaches Nevada, makes a
’ lucky hit by discovering a rich silver mine,
and returns after an absence of three years,
. to find his wife and children starving. He is
soon enabled to clear himself of the murder
' by the discovery that “The Spider” commit
ted the deed, and he is once more happy
’ with his wife and children, and rolling in
riches. Such is a brief and scant outline of
’ the plot, which is filled up with many in
teresting incidentsand episodes which serve
to increase the interest of the story.
The Proposed Odd Fellows* Bail.
■ Oglethorpe Lodge No. 1,1.0. O.F.,madea
purchase of the house and lot on the corner
‘ of State and Barnard streets, on Tuesday
last, as has been announced in the Times.
. It is the intention of this lodge to notify
[ all other lodges of the city of the purchase
I and invite them to join in forming an Odd
, Fellows Hall Association, for the purpose
, of erecting a handsome hail on the spot,
j Suitable resolutions were passed at their
' last meeting Tuesday night to this effect,
but so far the other lodges have not been
notified.
No plans have yet been made nor the
cost estimated, but it is agreed that a hand
! some structure, three stories high, with
’ stores on the first floor and the remaining
! stories fitted up with special adaptability to
1 the uses of the Odd Fellows, will be erected.
> When the Hall Association is formed the
Oglethorpe Ledge will present the building
site to it as its contribution toward the fund.
It is desired that the work of building
• should begin during the summer, but
i as the present lease does not expire
until November the work of building may
' be delayed until that time. This enter
prising lodge has on sevftal former occa
sions attempted to buy a site for this
purpose, but their intentions until the pres
ent time have been frustrated from some
t cause which could not be surmounted. The
! Times is pleased to see that they have at
. last succeeded.

A Probable Racket Caused by Roller
Skating.
1 Burlington Hawkeye.
J “Ma, racket means a noise, don’t it?”
I “Yes, Johnny, and there is a dance called
by that name, and rackets are used in play-
’ ing lawn tennis. There are also other defi
’ nitions which you can find by looking in the
dictionary.”
i “Well, ma, I don’t see how you could
■ tumble to any of those rackets, as you don’t
dance or play lawn tennis.”
s “What do you mean, Johnny ?”
“Why, you know I went to the roller ring
> last night with pa, who was going to teach
I me to skate all so fast, and when we got
there he hired some skates for me and just
let me get along any way I could. If Jim
Smith hadn’t helped me I wouldn’t have
got the hang of them a bit.”
“What was your pa doing all the even
ink? Didn’t he skate at all?”
“Well, I should say he did. He just
skated nearly all the time with a tall, hand
some brunette young lady. Once in awhile
pa would come to where I was and say:
“Why, Johnny, you’re doing first rate.
Guess you don’t need any help from me.’
’ And he gave me and Jim each a nickel to
, buy pop corn with.”
, “What has that got to do with me tumb
’ ling to a racket?” said his mother, in acom
. pressed yeast tone of voice.
I “I was going to tell you. After we had
, eat the pop corn I carried the skates back to
' the man who takes care of them, and he
j looked around the rink for pa. I couldn’t
, see him skating, but pretty soon I saw him
r settin’ down with the handsome young lady,
I and I went up behind them and was going
to ask pa if he wasn’t going home pretty
’ soon, when I heard her ask him if he would
be tnere to morrow evening. And she looked
' kinder queer at him.”
! “She did, did she ? And what did your
t pa say ?”
“He said no, it wouldn’t do; for like’s
. not, Johnny would talk about her, and
3 you’d tumble to the racket Then they got
, up and skated off, and I bet they went
round the rink a dozen times before they
stopped again.”
“They d d, eh? Do you know her name?”
“I did know, but have forgotten it. I
asked pa, and he told me, and she was a
nice young lady and said I would make a
good skater in a little while. And when we
got ready to go home, pa took ofl her skates.
I could have done it in half the time, and
offered to; but pa said I didn’t understand
how that kind worked. And then we saw
her to a carriage, and came away.”
There is likely to be a racket in that
family, all caused by roller skating.
CarHsle and Cleveland.
Washington Correspondence N. Y. World.
There are strange meetings in this world.
The other day, when Mr. Carlisle and his
wife walked in to pay a call upon President
elect Cleveland, the latter came forward
with a pleasant smile of welcome upon his
face. “I need no introduction to you,” he
said to the Speaker atd his wife; “I have
met you before.” Both Mr. and Mrs. Car
lisle looked blank. They could not recol
lect kny such meeting. “I met you,” said.
Mr. Cleveland, “at the Riggs House when
I last visited Washington. I was there
with Dan Lockwood, from Buffalo.
We sat at the same table with you. I
was at the hotel for two or three days. I
was introduced to you the first day, and I
remember asking you a great many ques
tions about the House.” Mr. Carlisle then
recollected the modest Buffalo gentleman
who had tat opposite to him in 1878. Mr.
Carlisle was then serving his first term in
Congress. Mr. Cleveland was then the
mayor of Buflalo. Few would have been
bold ent ugh to predict that the future
President of the United States and Speaker
of the House of Representatives were in
that small group of four or five people
ranged around one of the little round tables
in the Riggs House dining rocm at that
time.
