'.ney is now in New York and will not re
turn to Washington, for an indefinite pe
; riod. Although, not suffering from any
irh disease, he is forbidden by his physician
.'' '.:.v from undertaking any work. For the past
5"! 'year the Secretary has had troublesome
vi headaches, which have grown more and
more severe and frequent until he is unable
V to work. For the past two weeks he has
- . -' not beenable even to read his letters, and
-iti although he has accumulated some of the
v material, he has written no word of his an
K'4i T' nual report, and there is no prospect that
" " he will be able to prepare one. A physi
' ; 7 cian states that with the necessary resfthe
tS ' Secretary will be perfectly well again; and
it is probable that he will go to some quiet
country place to recuperate. During his
absence Commodore Harmony will act as
secretary; his duties and responsibilities
being shared, however, by a board of bu
reau officers recently organized to meet this
emergency.
- To-day, J. Hale Sypher, attorney for
George H. Thoebe, contestant against
John G. Carlisle for a seat in the Fiftieth
- Congress, filed sixty copies of his brief
with the Clerk of the House, as required
V by law. The brief asserts that Thoebe was
elected by 6.000 majority. This result is
-found by rejecting about 1,000 votes cast
for Carlisle and about 200 votes cast for
Thoebe, which were polled at precincts
- where it is claimed the laws of Kentucky
were not observed. The brief cites Con
gressional precedents from 10,791, to prove
that Congress maintained this view of the
law of elections. It also quotes the ad-
missions made by Mr. Carlisle in his an
Bwer to the contestant's notice, which are
held to be fatal to his title to the seat.
The threatened conflict between the civil
and military forces at the Round Valley,
Cal., reservation, has been averted by in-
: structions sent by the Secretary of War to
General Howard, to withdraw the United
States troops now on the reservation pend
ing a judicial settlement of the matter. It
is learned at the War Department that a
company of soldiers under command of
Captain Shaw, was ordered to eject a num
ber of squatters from the reservation. At
the request of the Interior Department an
- injunction was obtained by the squatters
from the State Court, and as the captain of
the U. S forces refused to obey it the S:ate
militia waa called upon to enforce the
court's order. At this juncture ths-St-torney
General appealed the case to the
United States Court, and at his suggestion
Captain. Shaw was directed to discontinue
farther proceedings. It was while this
appeal was pending that the sheriff began
his movement looking to toe arrest of the
military force. The order sent to General
Howard to withdraw the military force is
expected to prevent an immediate conflict,
but the question of jurisdiction involved is
. regarded at the Department as of the
. gravest importance. It has cropped out in
" one shape or another in all of the Indian
outbreaks of the last few years, wherever
' , ; .Btate or territorial authorities have attempt'
.'" ed to make arrests on Indian or military
" reservations, and a final settlement of the
, conflicting rights of State and Federal au
thoritiea over government reservations is
earnestly desired by military officers.
. Washington, Oct. 29. Secretary Fair
:1I : ehild to-day authorized this dismissal of
:lX sixteen clerka of the $1,600 grade in the
.i New York custom house, who had failed

ik: promotion. This is in addition to 33
clerks in the custom house who were dis-
missed yesterday.
;r-v Commodore Harmony, Chief of the
;,' ..Bureau of Yards and Docks in the Navy
'. "- Department, in his annual report to the
U Secretary, says, concerning the Norfolk
V'Navy Yard, "that its importance with its
f K line position, mild climate and abundant
If"-national resources within control, cannot
'y be overestimated, and it is earnestly recom-
mended that every opportunity should be
u. . taken to make its equipment ample in all
particulars. An appropriation of $25,000
-. for railroad extension is requested, and it
i; having been determined to build an armor-
ed vessel at this Navy Yard, an estimate is
T submitted of $75,000 to provide permanent
a building for iron and steel shops to contain
such portion of the plant as needs such
shelter."
vj;"":. Mr. Harmony says : The necessity for a
naval etation on the shores of the Gulf of
Mexico is said to be imperative, not only
- irom possiDiimes likely -soon to arise in
-vb -; these - waters and adjoining West Indian
"' countries and Beas, but also because the
y; Btation is needed as the best for naval de
; fence of our own coast and the protection
ot-entlets of our Gulf and Mississippi
trade.
. f v ; Mr. Harmony believes that Pensacola,
. ,r v although defective in some respects, com
- - bines more advantages for a naval station
V$Tfi than Key West, or any point on the Mis-.-.
; sis8ippi river, v He recommends that the
A navy yard be moved to the upper part of
.V: the bay and nearer the city; and a new and
.-v large dock constructed to replace the un
y. f serviceable sectional dock.

0mca$$ihm44 Omof Oct. 29. In his
speech here last night, Governor Gordon, :
of Georgia, alluded to the reception of Jef
ferson Davi. at Macon, as follows:
"It is charged that we cheered Jefferson
Davis. Does that mean going to war again?
Let us reason. Suppose we did nt. Sup-'
pose we turned our back on this palsied,
broken-down old man? What did he do
that I havri't done? I don't think I shot
anybody, but I tried "pretty- hard. You
might ask me to turn the cold shoulder on
the wife of my bosom. She went with me
to the front; Bhe followed me to the camp,
shared my dangers, even to the picket, and
at times in danger of the battle, and under
Providence I owe to her tender nursing
that my life was spared me. Why should
I hate her? If we should turn our backs
on that man, refuse him our sympathies,,
we shouid merit the scorn of every brave
man in this audience, and you would feel
an absolute contempt for us. When Jeff.
Davis left the United States Senate, be left it
rich, witlwegret, and full of political honors .
For our eakes he became poor, and de
barred forever from political honors in his
own country. He lingers to-day with
broken health and scarcely a' place to lay
his head, dragging after him wounded
limbs, with increasing suffering, that fol
lowed him from Buena Vista. What
would you think of me if I said, 'Go hence;
I have no more use for you.' I am not
going to do it. I would have contempt
for Gen. Merijon (who sat on the stage), if
he went back on the grand old name of
Abraham Lincoln. Put yourself in the
other fellow's place.
"It was my fortnne, a few weeks ago, in
Philadelphia, to take part in the celebra
tion of the adoption of the Constitution ,
and where Georgia had taken her part. I
was proud, as I stood in the streets, to see
theshattered remnants of the Union army
bearing the shattered remnants of the old
flags, and as they were viewed by that
October light amid the shouts of ten thou
sand throats, I felt that the thrill that I
knew was pulsating in the veins of the
strong, grand men, remnants of the Grand
Army of the Kepublic. Why shouidn t 1?
They were consecrated to a cause which,
to those who gathered around them, was as
holy as honor and truth. I would have no
faith in home and liberty if those men did
not love their old flags. So, too, we loved
ours. Let ns get out or the universe wnen
hatred of the South is called loyalty to the
North.
"I am going to show you that our children
should love their flags. A man is better
who hasthe nerve to do justice, whatever
it coats. ; Was there any honor in carrying
these old flags ? They, too, were woven
by the patriotic hands of Southern women.
They were delivered to husbands and broth
ers, consecrated by tears and prayers. Some
were rent with bullets, blackened with gun
powder and reddened with the blood of
the brave. Don't we build monuments to
the Confederate dead ? Why. Gen Grant,
the greatest General ef the Union army,
said he was willing to share in the dedica
tion of the monument to the Confederate
dead. There isn't good sense in it, and the
man who tries to stir your passion does not
deserve your votes.
" xou see in. some of your papers column
after column about rebel flags. This is
truth; I was there. There were in all that
great central city of Macon, Ga . a dozen
Confederate flags and fifty thousand of the
stars and stripes, and yet some people are
so color-blind that they could not see any
thing but the rebel flags; and yet the very
carriage that bore Jefferson Davis, and the
horses that drew him, were literally covered
with Union Hags. The very bouse that he
was in was so covered with them as to al
most blind him. Some speeches were made,
a leader was chosen to present a memento
of affection to his wife, and the great
climax of it was that the Union was rehabil
itated on the firmer basis than ever."

A Canadian Embezzler ArrestedJay
Gould's Departure for Europe.
By Telegraph to the Horning Star.
Nbw Yoke, Oct. 2a. Morden Burcb,
of St. Catherine's, Ont., was arrested to
day for robbing the law firm of Riker &
lngersoll, 01 a drait ror ra.gou and cash
amounting to $2,400. When he was asked
why he had stolen the money, he said that
paying teller Jackson, of the sub treasury
of this city, haa taken SlU.UUU into Canada,
and he knew of no reason why he should
not bring some Canadian money here. He
was locked up until the Canadian officers
appear. The technical charge against him
is bringing stolen money into theqgountry.
New Yoke. Oct. 29. Jay Gould and
party sailed for Europe to-day. The party
consisted of Jay Gould, Mrs. Gould, Miss
Nellie Gould, aged 16, a young son aged
six. and Capt. Bbackford, of the "At
alanta." When Mr. Gould had gotten things
somewhat in order on shipboard, be left his
mends ana made nimseii tne centre 01 a
group of reporters who were waiting for
him. "Now," said he, "what can I do for
you? What do you want me to say.?
Don't talk business though, for I am think
ing 01 notnmg but pleasure; tnat is what 1
am bent upon at present, and expect to at
tend to for the next three or four months."
Without waiting to be questioned, he con
tinued, "We are going direct to Gibraltar,
where my yacht . is to meet us. Then we
will cruise around the Mediterranean for
two months. No business, only pleasure.
George is capable, and I rely upon him
aided by the advice of my friends. I wish
you would deny the statement that my
physician goes with me. 1 am not sick.
only in need of rest. I expect to be home in

Pabis. October. 29. La Juslics etates
that President Grevy. has agreed to post
pone tendering his resignation, in conse
quence of an interview with Rouvier. Le
Uoyer and : Floquet, who declared that
many members of the Chamber of Deputies
would revoke their first vote on motion for
the appointment of a committee to inquire
into the Caffarel scandal, when it . became
evident that their vote might, be susceptible
pf an ambiguous interpretation. Other pa
pers assert that there is no 'question of
President Grevy resigning.
Pabis. Oct. 29. In the Chamber m
Deputies to-day M. Bryee questioned the
government about -the army forage con
tracts, and moved that M. Ferron, Min- J
ister of War, modify the systems The Go
vernment proposed to pass to the order of
the day, but tbe motion to that effect was
rejected by a vote of 281 to 219, and Brjee's
motion was adopted 808 to 165. The re
sult of the vole caused a sensation in the
Chamber. Tbe committee appointed to in
quire into the Caffarel scandal unanimously
reported that parliamentary inquiry into
the matter and into the charges -made
against Wilson in connection with tbe af
fair was necessary.
London. Oct. 29. An official denial has
been oade of the rumor which has been in
circulation here that President Cleveland
had requested Lord Salisbury to cancel the
appointment of Chamberlain to represent
England in the fisheries negotiations. It is
announced that Chamberlain is assured of
a cordial recaption by the American author-
ltes, despite tbe attacks made upon him by
interested parties.
Chamberlain started from .Birmingham
to-day on his way to America, to take
pait in the fisheries negotiations. Before
leaving the city ha addressed a crowd
which had gathered to see him off. He
said he hoped the relations between Eng
land and America would continue to be
cordial. He also said that) these might be
the last words he would ever address to
bis hearers, and advised them to stick
firmly to the union and maintain the in
heritance bequeathed them by their fore
fathers The greatest enemieu of tbe com
monwealth, he declared, were those who
would do anvlbiog to weaken or impair
the integrity of tbe union.
Upon tbe arrival of Chamberlain at
Liverpool, the station was cleared and the
public was not admitted. The station was
strongly guarded by policemen. A num
ber of detectives followed Chaimberlain
from the station to the steamer Etruria. it
being expected that an attack would be
made upon him in tbe streets. He was
cheered and hooted at as he passed along.
