TJie Military Commute Report in Favor of American System, London, Feb. 9. It is reported this evening that Committe appointed by the War Department to determine on the rifie to be adopted by the English army have practically made their decision, and that it is in favor of the Lee, an American magazine rifle. Some tur ner tests are to be made, but there is reason to believe that the Lee rifle has outdistanced all competitors, the Schul hoff included. The magazine of the Lee rifle is immediately under the firing chamber, as in the case of the SchulhofT, and can either be fed singly, or two or three cartridges can be inserted at a time. The entire British army is to be gradually supplied with whatever rifle may be adopted by Gen. Wood's com mittee. There will probably be ltx order for 50,000 given at first, and so on till the total reaches lully 500,000. Al though the report is denied in to-day's Globe it is generally believed to be true, and is stated to be so by several .other daily and evening papers. It is stated here on excellent authority that the German Government is not al together pleased with its Mauser rifle, and that it is to be used only as a stop gap tili a better arm can be discover ed. Four Indictments Against IF. L. Royal. CHMONDf Va., . Jeb. . Q . V-Notw ith- standing the fact that the - grancTJury. of the Hastings Court yesterday refused to indict W. L. Royal in certain cases of baratry, they to-day brought in four in dictments against him. Judge Thomas S. Atkins yesterday gave the jurors un til to-day to decide whether, on account of intimidation, they would answer or not the mandates of the court and car ry out the oaths of jurors. His language wxs so emphatic that the grand jury brought in the above named indictments. The peculiar action of the jury, nothing like it ever having been known" in the State, caused a great deal of interest to attach to the case. A crowd assembled in court room, - Mr. Royal filed a demurrer to the plea and this afternoon argument was heard upon the demurrer, and the Court with held its decision until next Monday. 2 Mr. Royal said that he would institute at once suit for damages against each of the grand jurors, and would, put the amount of damages fn each case at $10. 000. - Senate Confirmed. Washington, Feb. 9. The Senate has confirmed the following appoint ments; J. R. Diller of Chicago, con sul at Florence; E. J. Smithers of Dela ware, consul at Tientsin; S. A.

C, Feb. 40, XIOIIE liJO VT TXTJE II EJEC TION OF JUlTJt UETJ'S. 1 Colored Jtlan Leads in the Opposition. Charges or Bribery. Washington, D. C, Feb. 8.The rumainder of the document bearing upon the nomination of .Mr. James C. Matthews, of Albany, K. Y.. to be Recorder of Deeds for, the District of Columbia, were made public to-day in conformity with the' removal of the injunction of secrecy by nhe Senate in secret session yesterday. The greater part of the petitions and memorandas received from persons outside of Wash ington, appsars to have been originated by Mr. Mm. H. Johnson, (colored) of Albany, N. Y., whose name leads those attached to the petitions and whose signature alone is attached to a number of long letters, accusing Matthews of at tempts at bribing him, intimidation of colored voters and uttering threats of re moval of colored men from employ ment at the State Capitol unless they voted the Democratic ticket. Johnson further asserts that in, past years Mat thews was with him, an earnest Repub lican worker, but changed his politics for corrupt motives. Among the pro testing documents is an editorial from the Daily Troy Telegram, characterizing Matthews as the worst kind of offensive partisan. Report oC the executive committee of the Columbia democratic club defining its poslti rule, and a letter from t Owen Moore, of Washingtonale, Ontnge county, N.- Y declaring that ' scoundrel and is only uiattnews is a using his black in politics.". skin as stock and trade A Jtlysterious lni erj cun f res&. The scriptual saying about the pro phet.in his own country seems to be particularly ' applicable to actresses. Grace Hawthone had to go to London to get a hearing, and she seems not only to have obtained the hearing, but to have profited by it. Every one will remember how the irrepres sible W. W. Kelly tried to forco her on the American public as a star with ill success ; how she wrapped herself in the American flag, dubbed herself "Only an American Girl," and took frightful tumbles down . stairway and on hard floors to get people into the theatre, :but all to no purpose. Well, she is In London now as sole lessee of the Olympic Theatre, where she is playing the consumptive Cana ille in Mortimer's version of the play under the title of 'Heartsease." I have received a circular, which seems to indicate crowded matinees, and refers to the coming production of "Theodora." Miss Hawthone has also leased the Princess's Theatre 'from Mr. Wilson- Barrett and will hold both houses. (With recollection of how Miss Hawthone and her man ager gy tated on' the brink of the fi nancial precipice for. several seasons, no one seems to know where they ob tained the money to cut such a wide swath in London, but it is said that Nichols, the wealthy London, bili postei, has faith iu her future and is backing the enterprise. 4 Bloody Affair in .Texas. t DeKaui, Texas, Feb. 8. Four dead bodies of men besmirched with blood and surrounded by their weep ing wives and sisters lay in this little village last nighf. There was a duel between the four Ros.sers father and three sons, and a preacher, J. O. White, resultiug in the death of J. E. Rosscr and the wounding of his son William, and the death of White and his two young nephews,, the tv'o last not being actively engage4 in the fight. A feud hai long existed be AND OP THE STATE. 1887. No. 24 tween White and the Rossers on ats- count of a disputed ownership of a farm on which White lived.

In trying to eject White the fight was brought on, the four Rossers being pitted against White In a short engagement with six shootera. IZeporl on Civil Service. Washington, Feb. 8. Mr. Mitch ell, commissioner in reporting to-day to the House from the committee on reform in the civil service, the Sen ate bill Increasing the salaries of the civil service commissioners from 3,500 each, pays the reform a high tribute and observes that the duties of the commissioners are unpleasant because they are compelled to resist tho Im peril nencies and complaints of friends, tho mistrust and cavils of their oppo nents and tho denunciations of tho many who may fall to secure posi tions. The civil service law is tho great break-water of many politicians employ it as excuse for failure to se cure positions for friends and some times unjustly attack it. f Flood In Illinois.
