The King; of Denmark to Mfdtate Be tween England and Russia—Arrest of the Alleged Murderer of the Vic tim of the St. Louis Trunk Trag edy—Sunday Hase Ball to be Stopped—Trial of Cluve rius in Kichtnond—ln dians Turned Loose on Settlers. London, May 6—A dispatch from Co penhagen states that the King of Denmark has definitely agreed to act as arbitrator of the question as to which power is responsible for the violation of tbe convention of March 17th, between England and Russia, by which both powers agreed to refrain from aggressive acts pending the settlement of the Russo-Afghan frontier question. Lieut. Stephen, one of Sir Peter Lums den’s staff, has arrived at Tiflis and is ex pected to arrive here on the 12th inst. 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 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. New York Produce Market.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 1885. THE MAIDEN DRILL OF THE SAVANNAH CADETS AT MOBILE. The Drill Completed this Morning—No Decision Yet Rendered, but Looked for with Feverish Anxiety—Be lieved that the Cadets Have Won—The Issue Between Them and the Lomax Rifles. Special Dispatch to the Daily Times. Mobile, May 6,3 p.m.—There was a com plimentary serenade tendered Gov. O’Neal, of Alabama,this nr rningat the Battle House* The Governor spoke in a few brief remarks on the prosperity of Alabama and her future success. 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. New York Stock Market.

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. Young or middle-aged men suffering from nervous debility , loss of memory, premature old age, as the result of bad habits, should send 10 cents in stamps for large illustrated treatise.

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 and the organization drilling at the time : being. The best of feeling prevails among the | entire military of the Camp, and the siprit I of emulation which is excited and earnest, is iof the noblest and most chivalrous charac ter- Whatever the result may be, I can , unequivocally assert that the Savannah Cadets will reflect the highest credit upon cur city and will win a most honorable name. G. H. R. 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. “LADIES.” Ladies in a delicate condition find that they derive great benefit from Speed’s port wine. It has become the most popular wine made for the use of aged and debilitated persons. It is also used as a communion wine. For sale by Osceola Butler, druggist, corner Bull and Congress streets.
