GLADSTONE ACCUSED OF RESORTING TO A
SUBTERFUGE.
It is asserted and generally believed that
Mr. Gladstone’s announcement in the House
of Commons yesterday that Sir Peter Lums
den had been recalled, to advise and con
fer with the government, is a subterfuge
and that Sir Peter becoming thoroughly
disgusted with the turn affairs had taken
with regard to the Russo-Afghan frontier
dispute, and the vacillating and weak policy
of the Government, has tendered his re
signation, and peremptorial y refused all
overtures to continue longer in office.
A GENERAL FEELING OF UNEASINESS.
? The recall of Sir Peter Lumsden has cre
ated a general feeling of uneasiness, as it is
expected to have an adverse influence on
the patriotism of the natives in India, who
will consider his recall a further concession
to Russia.

The National Commercial Con entlon.
The National Commercial Convention
will be held in Atlanta on the 19th, 20th
and 21st, of this month. The Executive
Committee set forth the object of the Con
vention as follows:
“In view of the unsettled condition of the
finance and commerce of our whole country,
and in obedience to suggestions received
from centres of trade,libor and production in
the East, West and South, that some united
effort should be made to prevent the busi
ness affairs of the people from suffering the
evils of further depression and stagnation ;
in pursuance of the views of some of the
ablest financiers in this and other sections
of the Union, and that the ipost representa
tive business men of the whole country may
have the opportunity to confer together and
consider the most effective means to better
the business interest of the country, the
citizens of Atlinta have determined to in
vite delegates to a National Commercial
Convention, to assemble in this city on the
10th of May next.
This movement has already been com
mended by many of the wisest and mist
conservative leaders in commerce, finance
and transportation throughout the country,
w'th whom we have been aide to consult.
We believe that a Nation I Convention
whose representation is confined rigidly to
•hose who are attive and experienced in
he business affairs of the people at large,
and in which the discussion will proceed
upon the intedgent, non-pcFtical and prac
tical principles of tade, excharge and
traffic as pursued in the United Slates, will
not otly command the attention and sym
pathy of the country, but will give direc
tion to public opinion in ways that will
make it commanding upon national legis
lation.
At a recent meeting of the National
Association of ‘Railroad Passenger Agents,
held in New Oileans, the matter of rates
was presented and referred to the Southern
Association, which meets on the Bth of
April. It is understood that the rates to
the convention will not exceed one-half
fare, and probably will be much less. In
formation with regard to this matter will be
furnished at an early day. It is the purpose
of the committee to arrange as far as possi
ble to give the delegates on the two days of
the week after the adjournment of the con
vention excursions to places of interest and
importance. The Georgia Pacific Railroad
Company has already volunteered the free
use of a train to take delegates to the ccal
and iron fields of Georgia and Alabama.
The subjects to be considered shall be:
First. Commercial and reciprocity treaties
between the United States and foreign
countries.
Second. A national bankrupt law.
Third. The compulsory coinage of silver.
Fourth. Railway transportation.
Fifth. Such other questions touching na
tional, financial and commercial interests as
the convention may deem proper for dis
cussion and action.

THE CADETS DRILL.
No announcement has yet been made by
the Judges in reference to the companies
drilling in the maiden competitive contest.
The drill of all the companies was com
pleted to-day, and the general impression
in tbe camp is that the
Savannah Cadets have won. The issue
lies between the Cadets and the Lomax
Rifles, of Mobile. The decision of
the judges is awaited with feverish
interest. It may not be rendered
until all the drills are finished. The Ar
tillery drill followed at the dose of the Mai
den contest, and will probably occupy the re
mainder of the day.
The drill for the $4,000 prize will com
mence to morrow, and will be opened by the
Montgomery Greys, the Savannah Cadets
following.
Our boys are all cheerful, and Savan
nahians here are delighted at the admira
ble manner in which they went through
the drill, and the favorable impression
I they ceated.
An Interesting Case.
Magistrate M.Frank Melina had a very
interesting case before him this morning
for adjudication. The circumstances that
gave rise to it were as folbws : Mr. F. i
Grimbill owns a place near the Ile nt i
Hope, called Grimball’s Point. It is a ■
beautiful pl ice and his been often visited i
by excursionists. He made arrangements
with Mr. W. L Haupt to lease the Point, ;
aud only asked in return board for himself
and family, and all the fruit he wanted. ;
These terms were com) lied with and the
families lived together in unity for some
time. A short time ago Mr. Grimbal), so !
he alleges, claimed that Mr. Haupt did not;
properly feed a horse and cow belonging to |
the place and took them away from Mr. ,
Haupt. He went so far as to put a chain 1
and padlock on the door of the stablel
so as to prevent Mr. Haupt from enter- j
ing the premises and did several things |
so as to make the relationship be-1
twesn them unpleasant. When he
locked up the barn Mr. Haupt became
angered and threatened to take an axe and
break dewn the door. Mr. Grimball then
came into the city and had apeace warrant
issued against Mr. Haupt. The latter then
went to Magistrate Molina and instituted
possessory warrant proceedings against
Grinball for illegally restraining him from
his property. The case was called to day
before Magistrate Molina. J. J. Abrams,
Esq., appeared for the plaintiff, and J. R.
Saussy, Esq, for the defendant. Tne facts
related above were adduced in evidence,
when the court rendered judgment in favor
of plaintiff, and dismissed the breach of the
peace warrant. A notice for a certiorari was
given by defendant’s counsel.

A PALACE ON WHEELS.
Th© Acme of Traveling Comfort Reached
—Description of the Elegant Boudoir
Car “Lithia.'*
Through the courtesy of Mr. James L. Tay
lor, General Freight and Passenger Agent
and Mr. Ernest Drum, Train Dispatcher of
the Savannah, Florida aud Western Rail -
way, a Times reporter was yesterday shown
through the elegant Pullman palace car
“Lithia,” No. 439, the latest acquisition to
the road. This is an elegant car and perfect
in all its arrangements. It is sixty-seven
feet in length and mounted on two trucks,
each having six proper wheels. The interior
decorations of the main saloon is in mahog
any and embossed velvet, fancifully arranged.
The upholstery is of a tint between olive
green and old gold, making the effect poetic
ally liarmonious. The lamps are nickel
plated and give forth soft, subdued, pleasing
lights. The seats in this saloon are so ad
mirably arranged with heavily padded
cushions and arm rests that they make rid
ing a luxury, and are conducive to sleep and
rest. Ther eis an elegance about the shadings
which are in harmony with the grand glass
windows and beautifully adorned ceil
ings. There is a novel departure
in this car, where the em
bossed leather and exquisite painting
softly blend with each other and make the
tout ensemble perfectly complete. The pris
matic colors, when the car is brilliantly
lighted, must show to great advantage.
There are double windows of plate glass, all
i through the car, and with the conveniently
arranged ventilation, the foul air is removed,
dust excluded and pure atmosphere ob
tained.
The drawing-room is similar in design and
finish and exquisite workmanship to the
saloon. It has double seats, soft and roomy,
I and finished in the best style of the uphol
sterer’s art. There is a private lavatory
attached to this room, Ss conveniently ar
ranged as an architect could construct it.
Here the most perfect system of ventilation
and observance of the hygienic rules are
i adopted. The transoms are so arranged that
they can be opened so as to secure pure air
while the exhausted air is drawn through
and cold air excluded. All the material in
the room is of the finest. The glass is plate,
the velvet real, the embossed leather genuine,
;of the most approved kind and style. This
drawing room is intended expressly fur
families and for bridal parties. Here tbe
modest bride can be secluded, and, in the
j midst cf her elegant surroundings, picture
a home like this. Here her ideas of an
elegant home and beautiful accessories can
! find subjects and fancy paint real bliss amid
i such beautiful effects. Here the family can
I be completely isolated if it wants, as the
| drawing room can be shut out from the
main saloon in a moment. There are elec
: trie bells in this as in every department of
the entire car. In front of the drawing
room is a neatly arranged niche for wreck
ing tods in the event the car is detached or
collided with, and immediately adjacent
thereto are the ladies’ private saloons.
These and all the other parts of the car can
be heated with Baker’s arrange ha nt, see pj ly
ing hot water. The hygienic condition of
the Lithia is perfect. Lockers for j
coal are conveniently arranged. These
departments, with the balance of
the car, except the smoking
department are furnished in mahogony. In
the main saloon are ten sectional berths, all
of elegant design and finish. The arrange
ment cf these sleeping places are perfect,
and the objection to securing an upper berth
is here obviated because those are the best.
They were expressly made so. The cloth
ing, the surrounding, comforts, the accesso
ries to these berths cannot be surpassed in
the boudoir of the most elegant and criti
cally exact lady. The buffet is a great
auxiliary. It is so arranged that every
available inch is utilized. Here is tempo
rarily displayed a superior set of china,
while silver and glassware are in plentiful
abundance about it. The gooes are the best
manufactured, and no hotel can keep
better. A compact refrigerator to carry ice,
a commissary department, a sink for hot
water, and arrangements for the prep
aration of tea, coffee, chocolate or other
drinks, are in a compact form, yet so ar
ranged that they are all perfect in detail.
The gentleman’s lavatory it c >rporates new
features just put in this car. They are orig
inal and unique, and fully carry out the
requirements of the traveling public, who
desire ease and elegance as well as expedi
tious riding.
There is an adjustable bench for porters,
boot blacks and other living adjuncts of
a sleeper. The smoking room is finished in
oak and embossed leather. The mirrors are
of elegant plate glass, with beveled edges.
Two elegant large double seats and soft
chairs of silk plush afford comfort and ease,
and give a “di Ice for niente” to the dreamy
smoker. The oak is beautifully finishel
and for beauty and design it cannot be sur
passed. The roof is handsomely panelled,and
the light, ground floors are especially suited
for the car. The small panes in the door
are of the Queen Anne style, and tastefully
add to the general pleasing effect. The
entire car is made for comfort, and the
buillers have emminently succeeded.
Nothing in the shape of comfort or elegance
can be suggested but what the manufacturer
has taken advantage of.
The entire car is taken almost to pieces
every day. The carpets are taken up, the
bed linen changed, the buffet scoured and
cleansed and every portion burnished and
brightened until it is a veritable thing of
beauty. The Lithia is suggestive of rich
solid comfort, such as all can enjoy and who
desire to travel over the line of road over
which it passes. It is the Irtest of Pull
man’s work and is his best masterpiece.
The Savannah, Florida and Western Rail
way, always alive to the interests of its
patrons, secured this car and will supple
ment it with others when the travel and
necessities demand.

THE MOBILE DRILL.
1 HE TRIP OF THE CADETS TO THE
THEATRE OF WAR.
Their Safe Arrival at Camp Drum—lnci
dents of Travel—Pleasant Greeting of
the Ladies of Waycross to the Sa
vannah Soldiers—The Times Cor
respondent Surprised The
Rules of the Drill.
Special Corespondence to the Daily Times.
Mobile, Ala., April 4.—We arrived safe
ly and are comfortably quartered in our
tents. The drawing for the positions took
place this morning. The Cadets drew No.
6 in the first drill and No. 2 in the second.
They will drill to-morrow.
An incident of the trip down was the pre
sentation at Waycross of a handsome bouquet
by Ben Apple to Capt. Branch, in behalf of
the young ladies of that place. At Lake
Defuniack, Fla., Doc Simmons distinguished
himself as being the biggest eater in the com
pany, though being one of the smallest men.
“Old Dynamite,” a nickname the boys have
for T. W., made fun for all in the car,
and with his excellent quartette, composed of
Miller, Bacon, Simmons and Nungazer dis
coursed some fine music, both vocal and in
strumental. The boys are in the
best of spirits, though some few
feigned fits on the train here,
thinking our newly elected surgeon, Dr.
Nichole, would prescribe a dose of brandy
and soda, but as he eaid cold water was the
best remedy for that disease, the patients
all recovered. Among the Savannahians
here, I met Meesrs. C. A. Marmeletein,
T. N. Theus, Carey B. Townsend. A. W.
Bacot, J. M. Maccaw, J. C. DeLettre, W.
G. Morrell, D. Dean and E. W. Austin, all
of whom express themselves as being treat
ed royally. Mr. John H. Griffin, the cour
teous General Travelling Agent, was untir
ing in his endeavors to insure a pleasant
trip for the Cadets, and succeeded admirably.
There was a general review held this
evening at Camp Drum, and the proficien- j
cy disj Dyed by all companies was remark- I
able. The Busch Zouaves, of St, Louis, I
gave some fancy drilling this i
afternoon, and the manieavres peformed
by them were like clock-work. They are !
undoubtedly among the best drilled com
panies in the country.
This evening Miss Forsyth, the sponsor
of the Cadets, presented Captain Branch
with a very handsome bouquet, which was
accepted in fine style by cur gallant Cap
tain.
The city is brilliantly dressed with bunt
ing and arches of welcome are stretched
across all the principal stree's. The pools
are selling in favor if Chickasaw Guards,
Mobile Rifles second and Houston third, |
though the Cadets are not shut out.
Tais morning, while I was walking down j
one of the principal streets, four ladies j
rushed upon me and before I knew it I was
almost smothered with kieses. I thought it ;
might be a case cf blackmail, but as soon as .
I freed myself, found they were a quartette >
of my cousins whom I have not teen in ten ■
years or more.
RULES GOVERNING TBE DRILL.
As a matter of interest and to give an ;
idea of the ordeal our boys have to stand. I
I append a list of the rules governing the !
competition drills :
1. The order cf drilling, determined by
lot by the Judges, will be announced in
Orders. Commanders of competing organ
izations will be permitted to witness the j
drawing. The programme wi'l be furnish- '
ed each commander one hour btfoie his or [
ganization is about to drill.
2. Each organization must be prepared
to drill at its allotted time, and must hold
itself in readiness to at one hour’s notice
given prior to such time. An organization
which, for any reason, loses its turn, can
not reclaim it.
3. Each organization, at its appointed
time, will be marched upon the drill ground
and, in double rank, formed in line in front
of the Judges. The commander will present
arms and report to the senior officer of the
Board of Judges, both before the drill and
upon completion of his programme.
4. Except when marching to and from
the drill ground, the commander must
take the position of instructor. In march
ing, quick time will.always be used, unless
otherwise indicated in the programme.
5. Except when the position of the arm is
indicated in the programme, they may,
during the evolutions, be carried in any
position consistent with tactics, but with
bayonets fixed.
6. When marching in line the distance
passed over must be sufficiently great to
enable the judges to determine the pro
ficiency of each command, the wheels must
be through an angle of ninety degrees. In
every instance the prescribed movement
must be fully executed before passing to the
next on the programme.
7. No extra movements will be allowed
after the completion of the regular pro
gramme.
8. Only the authorized tactical commands
will be given. No assistance will be ren
dered and no corrections or promptings
made during the drill.
9. The drill will be executed in the pre-'
cise order in which the commands and evo
lutions ore indicated in the programme. The
exception will be where, from restricted
limits, it is not possible to execute the evo
lutions as arranged; in which case, it is per
mitted each command to perform the addi
tional movements absolutely necessary to
place itself in position to proceed with the
programme. The permission here given
will be interpreted rigidly; the Judges will
decide whether or not any extra movements
made for the purpose here indicated was
necessary; and, if necessary, they reserve to
themselves the right to sccre agairst the
command as they deem proper according to
the circumstances of the case.
10. Commanders will be permitted to finish
the programme. Unnecessary delays will be
detrimental.
11. Celerity, when combined with accuracy
of execution, will be considered advantage
ous; but rapidity which would lead to slight
ing of movements or evolutions is to be spe
cially gmrled against.
12. In cases not definitely covered by the
tactics, commanders are allowed to use their
judgment.
S6OO A YEAR
| 12. The Judges will not construe disputed
points in tactics but, disregarding mere cus
toms of service, will base their decisions on
points not in doubt.
14. Commanders desiring information on
tactical points may apply therefor in writ
,n B: to the senior officer of the Board of
Judge°, not later than the day before the
dril>; when proper (and the Judges will de*
I cide whether they be so or not), the ques
tions will be answered.i
15. Paragraphs 752 to 71 3 ..Infantry
Tactics, will govern when applicable, and
tor the inspection, the provisions of para*
graphs 816, same tactics will be observed in
so far as they are applicable.
16. The attention of Artillery Commar.d»
ers is invited to the provisions of paia £
graphs 280 to 284, both inclusive aud IQ
those of 727, Light Artillery Tactics.
17. Prior to the drill in his own arm of
class, each commander will sign the follow
ing certificate: “I certify that I have not
seen the programme for this drill, nor am I
aware of its contents, from any source. I
pledge my word as an officer and a gentle
man that 1 will not witness nor allow my
officers to witness the drill of competing or
ganizations in my own arm or class preced
ing mine. I will not drill or instruct not
allow my officers to drill or instruct my or
ganization after the drill of competing or
ganizations in my own arm or class has
begun, until I enter the field for the compe
tition. I further promise that I will not
divulge the contents of this programme,
directly or indirectly, to any person or per
sons until after the completion of the drill of
competing organizations in my own arm or
class. I will not consult either with any per
son who has seen the drill of proceeding
competitors or any memorandum made by
such person.”
18. Upon completion of the drill, as soon
as it can be conveniently done, the Judges
will report in writing to the President of ths
Board of Managers the general order of ex
cellence of the competing [organizations.
19. No person will be permitted on the
drill ground or in the vicinity of the
Judges’ tent, save the Managers, the Judges

THE OPERI.
“Faust” La»t Night, “Lucia” To-Night
and “Martha’' Thursday.
Another large and delighted audience
greeted the presentation of “Faust” at the
Theatre last night by the Milin Italian
Opera Troupe. The expectations which
had justly been aroused by the splendid
performance of Monday night were fully
resi zed aud the enthusiasm was unbounded
Whilst there are many rare gims in this
opera, yet it may be said not to be as pop
ular as many others. The final acts are too
sad. The cast was excellent and Mlle.
Romeldi and Signor Montegriffo, who have
won the hearts of Savannah’s cultured
people, were received again with ibo
most cordial applause. The former as
“Marguerite,” and the latter as “Faust,”
were superb. The entire cast was good,
and “Mephietopheles” was one of the best
we have seen on the stage. Altogether the
opera was produced in magnificent style,and
was heartily enjoyed. To-night will be given
Donizetti’s opera, “Lucia,” which is replete
with delicious music. Concerning its pre
sentation in that city the Charleston News
and Courier says:
There is something aliout “Lucia” that
always secures the sympathy of an American
audience, though all of us may not be deeply
versed in Scottish history. The story of the
misfortunes of poor Lucy of Lammermuir
upwards of two centuries ago is a truly
pathetic one.
She is the sister of Lord Ashton, who
holds the estates forfeited by Sir Edgar
Ravenswood, a poor but proud Scotch noble
man, who has become enamoicd of Lucy
Ashton hates Edgar, and from mercenary
motives desires to affiance his sister to Lord
Arthur Bucklaw. But Lucy prefers Edgar,
and when the latter is sent on a diplomatic
mission to France, she plights her
troth to him. Ashton intercepts
the letters from Edgar to
his sister, and tries to persuade her that her
lover is willfully neglecting her. Still Lucy 1
loves on, although Ashton forges a paper
tending to prove that Edgar is unfaithful
to her. He at length forces her to become
the bride of Bucklaw, whem she slays in the
wedding chamber on tbe nuptial night, and
she herself shortly after dies of a broken
heart. Edgar thereupon returns and views
the corpse of her who has been fiithful unto
death, and joins in the general lamentation
for her cruel fate.
The east was thus distributed:
Lucia (Lucy) Mlle Romeldi
Aline (Alice), Lucy’s attendant, Mllle. Gllssinl
Ashton Signor Vansant
Raimondo (Raymond], the aged priest
and adviser of Ashton. Signor Bologna
Anuro (Bucklaw) Signor Beaedettl
Edgardo (Sir Edgar) Signor Montegriffo
At the end of the first act, wherein Lucy
pledges herself to Edgar, the applause was
deafening, Mlle. Romeldi and Signor Monte
grifio being called no fewer than four times
before the curtain. Mlle. Romeldi’s render
ing of the arias “Arcor non giunge, abi!
lassa 1 ” and “11 dolce suono,” also received a
splendid ovation; as did, too, those of Signor
Montegriflb, “Orrida e questa notte,” and
•‘Ton.be degli avi niiei.” The best appre
ciated chorus was unquestionably “D imenzo
giubilo.”
To-morrow night, the last of this brilliant
operatic season, will be given Uotow's’fever
popular “Martha.” It was at first intended
to give “Norma,” but “Martha” has been
substituted, the nianangement announce, by
request of many citizens.
