not propose to go into details. The eroner

ter, hut I must express regret that the pa-
pers have not been presented to pal liamcnt.
1 trust that this will l>e done before parlia-
ment ifi prorosrned. Whether the circnm-
etanee is correctly described by the prime
minister as an episode in electioneering,
•whether our minister was entirely to
blame, whether he technically or uninten-
tionally committed a blunder, whether the
the United States government whs- fully
justified under any circumstances, or by the
peculiar circumstances of the moment, are
nil matters beside my point, which is, who-
ever is to blame or whether any one is to
blame? Surely it would havo been more

position to have taken 110 notice of the mat-
ter which, as the prime minister early re
marked, is no matter affecting the two na-
tions. Tn the caso of some foreign powers,
different considerations would affect us,
but our relations with the United States
are peculiar. We use the word foreign
toward them because there is uc other suit-
able expression, but I am loth to use the
term toward the great republic. The United
States is, diplomatically speaking, a foreign
power, but she can never be a foreign laud
to 113. Her citizens are mainly men of the
same race and lineage as ourselves, having
the same names, speaking the same tongues,
worshiping under the same forms of re-
ligion and living under the same common
law. Their institutions, though differing,
lire very similar in their integral respects to
our own aud are founded 011 the same love
of liberty and law and capacity for self-
government.
IT is IMPOSSIBLE
to look upon such a people as foreigners,
though one is obliged to speak of their
country as a foreign power. Of all civilized
nations we alone can understand the United
States nnd she can alone understand us in
respect to difficulties inseparable from the
Bystem of pal ly government. Any misun-
derstanding arising between us would be
held to bo most deplorable by the vast ma-
jority of all thinking men on both sides of
the Atlantic. I fear that speaking of the
circumstances as belonging to the history
of electioneering may have had an irritating
effect upon public opinion in Amcrica. He
that as it may, it is certain that
any longer delay
In filling up Lord Saekville's place is liable I
to be misunderstood by the American peo-
ple. I hold it to be our first duty to avoid
• the possibility of anything that may lead
to the want of sincere friendship between
the mother country and the colonies, and
after that I consider it; our second dutv to
avoid any such possibility between the l"i.i
ted States and ourselves. Before long an-
other minister will be accredited to the
court of St. James, All who know Mr.
Phelps personally, and all who recognize
the dignity and courtesy with which he has
discharged his duties, will anticipate it
with regret. If we hesitate atid delay to ac-
credit a minister at Washington the United
States may retaliate by delaying to accredit
a minister to us while great international
questions areawaiting solution-—fishery and
extradition—and these we can not hope to
nettle except under conditions of real friend-
ship between the two countries; and there-
fore 1 ask the prime minister whether he in-
tends to appoint a minister to succeed Lord
Buckvilie at Washington."

CABLE FLASHES,
A COURIER'S STORY
of STANLEY'S MEETING WITH EM1N.
Zanzibar, December 28,—One of the spe-
cial messengers sent into the interior 111
October in the hope of obtaining news of
Kmin nnd Stanley from caravans has sent
a dispatch announcing that ho met Arab
traders from Wadelai, who positively af-
firmed that Stanley met Kmin there about
January 20. Stanley, the traders said, had
830 men and plenty of stores. He had en-
dured great privations, but he and all his
party were well, although extremely ex-
hausted. The delay in reaching Wadelai
was due to difficulties encountered on the
route, the expedition having to make along
detour toward the northeast in order to
avoid the swamp and hostile tribes. Kmin
was then in a fairly good position, although
his Egyptian officers were grumbling, and
many of his soldiers had deserted. The
kings of Uganda and Unyorow were hostile
to Kmin. who was obliged in November
to repel incursions from the east. His gen-
eral health was good but he had bsen suf-
fering from an (flection of the eyes for two
montha. A fortnight after Stanley's ar-
rival Kmin received, via Lado, it message
from the mahdi pompously intimating his
Intention to subdue the whole country as
far as the great lakes and promising good
treatment if Kmin submitted. Kmin
replied that beforo evacuating
he must wait for the mahdi
to prove the legitimacy of his claim to the
province. Stanley in the meantime applied
himself to restoring order among' the
troops and distributing stores nnd muni-
tions. Kmin told Stanley that he did not
desire to leave Wadelai. The entire route
to the east coast was most dangerous 011
account of the agitation among the
tribes and the hostility of Mwanga.
Toward the middle of April, hearing that a
forcc of malidists were coming, Kmin or-
dered his advance posts between Dufile and
Lado to retire to Wadelai, and Stanley sent
messengers to the kings of Uganda and
Uiigova. About the end of April, when
traders left Wadelai, Stanley was anxious,
ovriNg to the absence of news from
the rear guard on the Aruwhimi,
and was arrauging to send a strong
detachment in search of them along the |
route which ho himself had followed.
Stanley also urged Kmin to leave Wadelai
with him and regain the coast. Stanley
Bent out several couriers with news for
Europe. One was the courier who was sent
by foreign consuls at Zanzibar to apprise
Kmin of the departure of the relief expedi-
tion. This courier had remained at Wadelai
and was sent back to the oast coast after
the arrival of Stanley. Another courier
waa sent in the direction of Aruwhimi.

among thein being several emirs.
GRAVE CHARGES
Treferrcil Against the Employes of the Hos-
pital at Syracuse, N. Y.
New York, December 22.—The Tribune's
Syracuse (N. Y.) special says: At a secret
meeting of the board of health, held last
night, Dr. Van Duyn, the health officer, ac-
cused the nurses at the hospital of being
drunkards, incompetent and insubordiante
to the orders of Dr. Halstoad, the physician
in charge. Dr. Halstead had been put in
charge of two patients by the health officer,
and two nurses are there to assist him. Dr.
Van Duyn said that Dr. Halstead was re-
peatedly disobeyed by the nurses, who re-
ceived his orders with impudent replies.
When fresh air was ordered the
nurses would insist on closing the
windows, retaining thefoul air and making
the place so foul that there was a horrible
stench. Finally Dr. Halstead chopped a
hole through the window with a hatchet as
a last resort to obtain ventilation. It was
also charged by Dr. Van Duyn that most of
the whisky sent to the hospital for the pa-
tients was taken by the nurses, and that
when the patient Lawrence Burke escaped
from the hospital a few days ago
one of the nurses was asleep and
the other drunk. Since his capture
Burke has been fettered to his bed
by a rough chain fastened around his bare
leg. The whole system was denounced as a
scandal. The appointment of nurses,ir was
declared, should by taken out of politics.
At the close of Dr. Van Duyn's report Com-
missioner Horton accused him, the health
officer, of exaggeration. A messenger was
sent for Drs. Halstead and B. P. aud Her-
bert Dunlap. Dr. Halstead said that the
charges made by Dr. Van Duyn were cor-
rect. it was finally resolved that Dr. Van
Duyn should have entire control of the in-
stitution and should appoint all the nurses.
The members of the board at one time be-
came so excited in their conversations and
recriminations that Mayor Kirk, who pre-
sided, threatened to call the police.

About the time of arrival of Kilrain's accep-
tance of Sullivan's challenge, two gentlemen
entered the editorial rooms of the Clipper.
Their cards read Lewis M. Allen and Wm. 10.
Harding. Mr. Allen, who was the spokesman,
was a stranger to the gentleman of the ('lippor.
Mr. Harding wus not. Allen produced apiece
r which i" J j
paper which proved to bo a certified check
for J.'ilKIO, drawn on the Chatham National bank
to the order of Lewis R. Allen,
Mr, Allen indorsed the check, mnklng it paya-
ble to the order of the Clipper officials, for the
signature was ineligible, but as it was certified
it was considered 11s good as gold and accepted.
Mr. Allen ^jild that bo had been requested by
Kilrain to say that they would require at least
forty-eight hours before the meeting to sign
crticlesof agreement. Mr. Allen neglected to
request a receipt for his certified check. The
Clipper will not be final stakeholder, as
suggested by Kilrain in his letter of accept-
ance. As soon as the final stockholder has
been agreed upon the jS5600 put up by Sullivan's
backer, together with the check received this
morning, will be turned over to 1dm. A sport-
ing man was asked this noon where the repre-
sentatives of sluggers were likely to meet. He
replied: "They mr.y goto Canada, but it is not
necessary. 1 think it more likely that they will
meet at Tnylorsport. JeiseyCity.
YELLOW FEVER GERMS.

Coi.UMl.U3, O., December 21.—[Special]—
Professor H. J. Detmoor of the Ohio state
university has concluded the task of photo-
graphing the germs causing yellow fever
that has been sent him by Dr. James E.
Veers of Chattanooga, Tenu., a brief ac
count of which appeared in these dispatches
I yesterday. The professor says that this is
| the first time yellow fever gerins have been
] found in tissue, scientists beretofore^earch-
! ing for them in vain. They have been found
| in zoogkea masses in capillary blood ves-
sels, which appear distended and rnp-
I tured, and at these ruptures the
I zoogloea masses are dense and large. Ba-
| cilli present themselves in four forms. The
I first in a plain, dark round mass, the second
! an oval with a darkpointateach extremity,
the third an oblong disk with dark points
as in the second, and the fourth, two dark
points united by a film and strikingly re-
sembling a dumbbell. Being asked ai to
how the discovery regarding the eausie of
yellow fever came to lie made, he said: '*I)r.
Steinberg of Johns Hopkins university 'for
a number of years ints made an exhaustive
search for yellow fever germs, but without
success in tissues. During the lust epi-
demic he made several post mortem exam-
inations at Decatur, Ala. The liver and
kidney tissue of two persons at least were
sent by him ^o Dr. Reeves for the purpose
of mounting for microscopical purposes.' 1

Account of the Fight.
Nkw Yoek, December 23,-^[Special]—A
battle has boon foughtin llayti aud resulted
in favor of the northern army aud the utter
routing of the forces under Legitime. The
conflict took place at More Calais, thirty
miles inland from Port-au-Prince, and
ninety miles south of Cape Haytien. This
was the" report in down town commercial
circles yesterday, the result of a letter re-
ceived by an exporter to Hayti: The exact
date of the battle was not given, but it is
supposed to have taken place on or
about December 5, the day beforo the
Haytien gunboats made their last at-
tempt to bombard Cape Haytien. The re-
port was that General llippolyte advanced
on the town early in the morning, and
that during the forenoon skirmish-
ing took place without serious loss to either
side. But early in tho afternoon the north-
ern army closed in aud advanced in a solid
body, firing as t bey came. After a short
but decisive buttle, during which a number
were killed and wounded, the army of the
south gave way and finally fled in great dis-
order, some of them throwing away their
brand new Winchester rifles while they
ran. llippolyte then, it. is said, took pos-
session of the town, which he strongly gar -
risoned. The wounded 011 both sides were
looked after, and the arms of the defeated
southerners gathered up for future use by
the Hippolyto soldiers. The dead soldiers
were buried near the field of battle, every
cartridge belt being first removed.

In striking contrast to tho death roferreil to
above whs another which occurred within a few
hours of it. Death is over sad to contemplate,
but when it claims fcr its victim ono who has
lived tho alio ied time it coir.o i as the expected,
On the other hand when it claims for its own a
fair young lii'e just budding into maturity, with
every surrounding to make life worth the liv-
ing, its sadness is intensified, and consolation
can bo found only in that christian fortitude
which b >ws in humble submission to the teach-
ing that 'His will be done on earth
ps it is in heaven." But one year
niro on Friday, December SI, Miss
Margaret, better known as Gfretta Nichols, was
led to the altar a fail young bride. To-day she
will be folio ved to the grave by a grief stricken
hu sband and a cortege of son owing friends.
The deceased was the daughter of Mr. Wm. II.
Nichols, a well-known clti/en of this place
and doorkeeper of the house of representatives
of the last congress, and granddaughter of the
late General K. H. Nichols, hence her family
connections in this city are very extended. One
year ago she was married in Galveston to Mr.
E. .7. Marshall. While on her deathbed Friday
night, and while writhing in death's agonies, the
wedding ring was removed from her linger and
handed to her husband, who was sitting by her
bedside keeping vigil,waiting the final summons
that would call from eaith the spirit of his
young wife. Looking at his watch he remarked
tho coincident that it was tho very hour in
which one year ago he had placed the ring on
her linger, with tho promise to love and cherish
through sickness and in death. Tho sad restora-
tion of this ring on the first anniversary of his
wedding was a lifting symbol of a duty W3il
performed. The deceased was born in Houston,
January 24, l$u. The funeral will take place
this afternoon at 1 o'clock from Trinity church.
Heroine of a Romance.
Miss Nellie Bailey is in the city in the inter-
est of her book, which is tho review of a very
interesting and startling epoch in her life, in-
volving her arrest and trial for murder, which
some two years ago attracted international at-
tention, as the British government took a hand
in the prosecution, the party killed being a
British subject. This remarkable case attract-
ed general attention at the time, and the news-
papers were full of it. Mis* Bailoy fa quite a
handsome and attractive young lady of charm-
ing manners, and the jury who could look such
a young lady iu the face and convict her of -the
crime of murder could hardly hope to.lind 'rest
in any community. Tho circumstances
connected with Miss Bailey's remarkable
career involvo one of the most notorious
conspiracies ever feet on foot by a band of out-
laws to injure the fair reputation of an innocent
young girl in the interest of personal gain.
While traveling with a party from Kansas to
Texas with a valuable herd of cattle a you )g
Englishman of noble birth was found one
morning with a bullet thrpugh his brain. Ho
and Miss Bailey were me nbers of this party.
The young i^uglishman was sick at time,
and the night of Ids death Miss Bailey was his
enly attendant. A band of outlaws, with tho
vi; w of securing tho stock ]u
chaige of the party, which was
reasonably valued r.t $;»•:!,u(j0, Jiad the whole
party arrested and thus took possession of tneir
property. On the prelimina-y trial it was in
evidence that Miss Bailey was the only member
of the party with the deceased at the time
of his death, hence the balance of the
party were released and she was held to
answer the charge of murder. Her incarcera-
tion and trial occupied a period of about
eighteen months. Tho British government
pr(.s'.c\ited the case very vigorously, but on the
trial it was clearly established that the young
Englishman comnulte 1 suicide,and Miss Bailey
was honorably acquitted. The history of her
life and the trial of this remarkable case has
been made tho subject of an interesting book
by a prominent New York author. This trouble
cost Miss Dfii'cy $5«.'03, and she is now engaged

For Burglary and Theft.
Last nitfht Special Officer Jim Cahill arrested
a colored boy name I Geo. Washington on the
! double barreled charge of burglary and theft
j Several days ago Wm. Rood,from Lake Charles,
hypothecated hfa watch at the Mascot theater
for a 810 loan. Tho following night Geo.
Washington, seeing the barkeeper
put the watch away, watched his
chance and when everyene had left tho theater
he stole it from its hiding place. He subse-
quently lost tho watch in a came of craps, and
it passed int« the hands of Sam Carter. Offl-
A Cistern Cleaner.
Captain J. E. Pattison, the inventor of a very
ingenious apjaratus for cleaning overground
cistcn is in the city from New Orleans, exhib-
iting his invention,wilh tho view of introducing
it here. Kis experiment yesterday in cleaning
a cistern of its ^edin onto, in the i<?ar of the
store of Messrs. Kawley & Heidenheimer, on
Strand, was witnessed by quite a crowd of
Strand merchants and others, all of whom pro-
nounced the invention an eminent success. Tho
apparatus .used is very simple, including a
vaivo plug, which is screwed into the
cistern near the bottom, with the loss
of but little water. A long, curved brass tube
with perforated end and patent appliance is in-
troduced through the valve opening, and there-
upon begins a flow of soft mud, sand, soot,
shells, small pieces of plaster, china and brick
end f:a ;meats oi r »gs, a foul looking I,ad smell-
ing mass. The end of the tube's pasted and re-
passed over the bottom of the cistern for about,
thir.y minutes, at the end of which time the
water flows clear and pure. The tube is then
withdrawn, a screw cap fitted over the valve
plug, the la-1 ir being leit in place ready for an-
other clear,ii g when occasion requires it, and
the whole operation is completed.
The remarkable thing about it is that such a
useful contrivance was not invented before. It
is unquestionably of great sanitary benefit, as
one could scane y conceive how any water
could be pure flowing through such a mass of
tilth as t his apparatus brings out from tho bot-
tom of a cistern in close proximity to the for-
cept through which the water for drinking pur-
poses is drawn. Mr. Pattison intends organizing
a company in Galveston to introduce h.s inven-
tion to the public. He comes highly indorsed
from New Orleans.

Applying for a Writ of Injunction.
Chicago, 111., December JJ2.—1The anarchists,
through their lawyer, applied to Master in
Chancery Windles to-day for a writ of injunc-
tion restraining the police from interfering
with their meeting. The motion is now being
argued, Mr. Windles refused to recommend
tho issuance of the injunction, without notice
being given to the authorities,but suggested that
the attorney go into court and apply there di-
rect for whatever relief he needed. This
advice was followed, and the application was
made to Judge Tuley of the circuit court. Judge
Tuley told the attorney that the only course he
could follow was tho usual one of taking his bill
before the master, having notified the onposite
parlies when evidence was collected by tho
master and his rec v.nmcndatiorts made, then
the bill could b,e fljod in court, and haying come
before him in this way-,- he would be prepared to
act. In the meantime the police tooVtimebv
the forelock, and notified the owner of the hall
in which it was proposed to hold the meeting to-
morrow 11c t his license would be revoked if ho
permitted the meeting to take place there.
CHESS.
Tlie Election Fraud Investigation.
Innla xa poi.isr iiiid., December 21. The fed-
eral grand jury took a recess this evening until
January 14. Just before adjourning they sent
for Judge Woods, and the foreman asked the
court for additional instructions upon some
point not made public. Judae Woods, after
consulting with Assistant District Attorney
Ciaypcol, returned word that the court had no
instructions beyond such as were given when
the Jury was impaneled. The jury returned no
indictment this evening, contrary to general
exnectations, and it is thought it was upon this
point that they desired the court's specific in-
structions, and that the judge decided not to de-
viate from the usual practice and left the jury
free to present its indictment whenever it
should see fit to do so.
Withdraw from the Order.
Chicago, 111., December £2.—Coopers' assem-
bly No. 309, Knights of Labor, of this city h is

ago. They claim that the influence of General
Master Workman Powderly was thrown against
them at thai time.

NOTES.
(a) The "Stone-Ware (Kiesetitzky Im-
proved ?) defense" to the "Evans," but an
invalid one, in the opinion of the beHt, au-
thorities. Wo doubt whether .Mr. Yoiinn
has faith in it,though ho adopts it frequent,
ly in off-hand piny; lie cares little, hovvevef,
for his skitt lo record.
( b) B to K is the usual move here,but this
seems very good, if not better.
(c) 8. 1 * * P to Q B 4 looks like a good
move, hut Mr. Young thinks it against
principle, as it loaves the Q P weuk.
(d) Probably played as a waiting move.
(e) Castling on the Queen's side is almost
always dangerous iu any form of an "Kv-
ans." We believe that if Black had eastled
K R he would havo had en even game.
(f) Finely played! White does not caro to
break his fine combination by any such
move as 15—R x B.
(g) Tho Queen must depart somewhere, of
course, but this is fatal loss of time.
(h) Since the thirteenth move Mr. Or-
chard seems to have carried everything his
own way to a very pretty finish. [Boston

Each move is expressed by tho figures
describing the square from which and tho
square to which tho move is made.
With this notation games are expedi-
tiouslv and accurately recorded and print-
ed in brief space, either in lines or col-
umns. Castling is shown by the move
of the king. For example, 15, 17, meaning
(as the fact may be) that tho white
king has castled on his own side. In print-
ing games where it is neceBSary .to number
the moves, as for purposes of annotation,
the number of the move may be placed in
parentheses, thus: (1) (2) (3). In this system
the move alone is indicated—not the name
of the piece moved. 00 (two ciphers) means:
"anything-" 1)9 means "any other move.''
For "any other move." or "any move" of it
specified piece give the number of the square
on which that piece is standing, followed by
• 99 or 00 respectively. Thus if a K .were
standing on 55 "and it were desired
to translate : the ordinary expres-
sion "I< moves" the figures would
be 55 00, meaning the piece on 55 goes
anywhere. But" if it were desired to
say, "if K moves elsewhere," the figures
would be 55 99, meaning any other move of
the piece which stands on 55.
For illustration the full solution of to-
day's problem is appended, though it is only
a two-mover—58 88, 55 65 (or A, B, C, D,)
25 33.
(A I 55 45, 85 78. (B) 54 05, 8S 87. (C) 54 45-
88 18. (D) 99, 88 55.
