THE SCARLET tETTER.
Notwithstanding the emphatic de
nial made by Senator Dawes Tuesday
niRht , the letter telegraphed from
hero Monday night In which the pres
ident expresses hii views very freely
regarding the efforts of the republican
senators to elect as secretary of the
senate a man who is dhlly assailing
bath himself and the administration
genuine , excepting the latter part
which refers to Robertoon'a nomina-
? ' hla does not aPPeir in e
letter. The president does not heii-
tatoto acknowledge the letter and
Bays ho will stand by it to the end.
Ho Is not to be frightened from his
purpoee to do what he considers to be
fet the best interests of the country
As to
ROBERTSON'S NOMINATION ,
while no reference is made to It in the
! aU tJto.Seii8tor Dawes. the president
mind very freely to the caucus com-
mittne on thn subject of that and
other nominations and the preroga
tive of the executive ofihe. The
president holds that he has done h'3
duty to the best of his ability in se
lecting good and efficient men lo fill
certain offices. He sent their names
to the senate for the action of that
body. It remains now for the eenato
to do U * best In a straightforward way ,
without attempting to coerce the
executive into doing that which
neither his judgmentnor his conscience
can approve , viz : withdraw certain
nominations simply because they are
personally objectionable to a few sen
ators. The president has the best in
terests of Ms party at heart , and will
do all ho can in an honorable way to
promote that Interest , but ho can cot
and will not submit to being bullied.
TWINKLING STARS.
For some dt > vs past , certain parties
connected with the alleged Irregnlarl- I
ties in the star mail service , have been
hinting at a damaging letter written
by the president to J. A. Hnbbell ,
chairman of the republican congres
sional committee. They had threatened
publication ot the letter , provided the
president did not let np on the invca-
tigition. The letter in question wra
exhibited In Washington last week tea
a few newspaper gentlemen , but none
of them care to publish it. Yester
day morning the letter was published
In the telegraph columns in The
Post , dated as C3raing from Chicago.
The letter is genuine , and was written
by the president. He acknowledges
it to fee his letter and say a that ho
stands by it as ho docs by Dawes' let
ter. The facts as to how the loiter
came to be written are about as fol
lows : It eeemc that in the spring
campaign of last year General Brady ,
being anxious to show his zaal in the
republican cause and to c-intrlbnte us
much material support as possible ,
belhought himself to call on the
' I mail contractors to contribute to the
campaign. In this suggestion ho was
aided by Hubbell , who thought it
would b "tho thing. " Gen. Brady ,
who seemed always to bo looking
ahead , possibly for breakers , sug
gested that a request from Gen. Gar-
Geld would moat probably induce the
contractors to come down hand
somely. Acting in this sugges
tion Hnbbell went to Mentor
to see General Gar Geld and tried to
persuade him to write such a request ,
but this the General refused to do.
Subsequently Hubbell wrotean urgent
appeal to General Garfield and
elicted the brief letter published this
morning , and which seems to have
been relied npon by the star route par
ties as the petard for hoisting the ad
ministration Into an unenviable no
toriety.
-There is nothing In the letter thai
any presidential candidate might not
write at the solicitation of one of 'the
managers of his political party , yet
reference was made to this letter in
the republican caucus as one that the
if president could not meet ; that iti
damaging disclosure would ruin him
itc , , and yet the president
DARES TO MEET IT ,
n and own ho wrote It. If any oni
thinks that the president can bo deterred
terred by threats or avea persuaded t <
forego a thorough Investigation of thi
star route servica , he is mistaken.
.11 Theprcsldent has made uphismindi
push his Investigation to the end ace
to punish , If possible , to the foil ex
tent of the hw all who are fonn <
guilty of auy criminal act. He intend
also to have all departments of th
government thorouchly overhauled
to get rid of all dead-wood , and , as h
puts It , "to Infuse'ncw blood into th
. civil service. " Consequently it wll
B be a wlto thing for the heads of bui
eans and clerks lo get their desks in
good order as soon as possible.
Senat ? .
WASHINGTON , Msy 5. The senate
went into executive session immedi
ately lifter the reading of the record
this morning. The discussion of the
Chinese treaties was at once resumed.
The nominations of IXobertson ,
Matthews and Chandler still awat
consideration.
The senate , iu executive session ,
confirmed nominations u follows ,
Wm. Walter Phelps , of New Jersay ,
minister to Austria ; Cortez Fessen-
den , of Home , Mich. , United
S'atea ' surveyor general of Dakota ;
Klchard Montgomery , to bo receiver
of public moneys at Bloomington ,
Mich. ; Selden M. Bronson , to be
postmaster at Menasha , Winnebago
county , Wis. ,
. " * The speeches -mado In oxecutiv
Bessibn this afternoon
were none o
them lobjj. Tne principal speaker
wore Senators Hawley , Bursside an <
Miller , and it waa due in a gre . I
measure to the forcible manner in
wIUch these gentlemen put the mittei
that th opposition to the Chinese im-
mlgratiSn treaty was so slight. Not
even four , as Erst stated , voted
against it , the only opposing votes be-
irig thosa of Seuatora DJIWCS and
lloar , both of Massachusetts.
Debate on the Chinese commercial
treaty didfnot consume moro than an
hour. The objections of the few
New England aenatora were over
whelmed by arguments in favor of
the treaty , and it was adopted with
only a half dozn dissenting voJcas.
The balance of the session waa con
sumed in confirmations of abont one
hundred nominations , tccordlnc to
the list.
A message from the president with
drawing nominations , creatad quito a
sensation , but being accompanied by
no request , no public comment was
made , and the Robertson nomination
was not alluded to.
At 4:30 : the a juato came out of ex
ecutive session and adjourned till 12
to-morrow.

NEW YORK'S SENSATION
The French Troupe Which Mme ,
Tournie Says Mme , Ambre
Broke Up.
How M. Ambre Put Too
Much Realism in
His Part.
And Then Said That He Would
Do It in Spite of
the Devil ,
NEW YORK , May 6 1 a. , m. The
elopement of Mme Ambre still affords
the most interesting gossip. Versions
of bcth sides of this singular caee have
been already published , but a reporter
wai fortunate enough to obtain an In
terview with Madam Tournie , the
wife of the truant Lothario. Madam
Tonrnie is of medium height , stout
and with regular features that are
made additionally attractive by a pair
of largo blue eyes , which the lady well
knows how to use. She showed signs
of the excitement she had endured the
past few days and her nervousness
still indicated that she was far from
being satisfied with her present con
dition.
Madam Tournlo sa'.d in subatanca as
follows : "I have been married to M.
Tonrnio only for about three yeais.
Previous to this ho was my very dear
friend , whom I liked very much. He
has alwtfys shown me the greatest at- j
tuution until he met this woman ,
Ambre , who , though considerably
older thso ho Is , yet continued to
throw a gleam over him aud won his
affections from me. I first noticed
this when we were playing in New
Orleans. He seemed to make love In
the most earnest manner on the stage
and I mentioned it to him , but he
shrugged his ahnuldera and said that
it wes neceBsaiy to put some realism
IntoHho part. This was not the only
thing to attract my attention. Amore
himself used to show him various lit
tle attentions which conviced me that
ill waa not smooth.
"When wo were traveling my hus-
3ind waa continually with M. de
Beauplan and his wife , and when Dd
Beauplan would leave the carriage my
lusband always mancged to got a lit-
lo closer to Ambro. I noticed till ? ,
ind told my husband I would stand it
10 longer ; whereupon he told me he
Tould do as he pleased in spite of tbe
levil himself. When wo reached
Sfow York the affair became so bud
hat the members of the company
isad to remark it , and I had to on-
lure alltheir sneers and jokes. I
lid not speak to him about it again ,
) nt let the matter drift as It would
ill night before bat , when the cli-
nax camo.
"I am going to remain In Now
fork another week and then I shall
ail for Frauca and go to my hus-
ibo Influenced Mr. Beauplan In hia
nanner of acting with us. If it had
lot been for her everything would
lave sailed along smoothly and we
TOtild have been playiug to full
louses In Now York , but she spoiled
it oil. She Is a perfect fiend and likes
Lrouble , purely for trouble's sake.
"Tho worst featnro of the whole
lEatler is that there are about eight
members of the troupe who are abso
lutely destitute. Some had to sleep
In Madison street square because they
did not have money enough to pay for
their lodging. Oh , yes , Ambro ia M.
Do Beauplan's wife and his father ,
Count Beauplan , disowned him bo-
cauao ho married her. She has ruin
ed other men in the same way and
aho Is in a fair way to destroy all Da-
Beauplan's hopes of reconciliation
with hla father. Ambro la very rich
and Beauplan la also wealthy , but hii
fortune la invested In real estate about
Paris , and its disposition would bo
very difficult unless it bo atlendod In
penon. I don't expect M. Do B. to
piy the salaries when the company
reaphos France , if it over does.
think ho will leave Franca and rusti
cate for a while where his lovely
wife can't ba running away with other
people's husbands.
The fair Mmo. Ambre writes the
following letter in her own behalf to
< ho editor of Iho Courier dea Etats
Unls , of which the following is a
translation :
NEW YORK , May 4.
MONSIER Emiou : I am exceed
ingly astonished to road In the news
papers stories of my flight with Mon
ster Tournie. It is absolutely false ,
and 1 formally brand It ai a lie. I
have been all the time in Now York.
I left the hotel where I had boon
s'aying , It la true , and If I do not
glvo my ne-w address It is in order
' , o avoid the presence of
, ho unhappy and broken-hearted
people whom I can no longer relieve.
1 am conscious of having done my
duty to the utmost of my power ,
having lost in Mr. DeBeanplan's un
dertaking and without being in the
lightest degree responsible the sum
if $75,000 , besides my salary for six
montha. In this loea I do not include
.hat of my jewels , which are pledged
'or 54,000. As to M. Tournie ,
whether ho left the city alone or not
does not concern me. Ono thing I
know that concerns me , ia that Mme
Tontnlo might have taken the trouble
o be better informed before starting a
Ecandaloas story which might costhei
dear. No ; M. Da Beauplan and my
self entert&iu for her husband the
highest regard and esteem , which h
due aim. Hoping , Monsieur , that
yen will extend a favorable reception
to this letter , ! beg yon to receive the
assurance of my distinguished consid
eration.
( Signed ) EJILUE AMBRE.
It will be noticed , however , that
this letter Is dated May 4 , audit ii
further claimed by all parties Inter
ested that the departure of Mme
Ambre and M. Tourlne simultaneous
ly Is , to say the least , singularly coin
cidontal.
AN ELOPEMENT , SURE.
The latest doveloporaenta In thi
matter of the elopement of Mme
Ambre , wife of the manager of th
French opera company , with M
Tonrnio , the toner , are that th
couple went from Westminster boh

TERRIFIED THRONES.
VIENNA , May 5 4 p. m. Beneath
the pomp attending preparations for
fetes , on the entry of Princess Stepha
nie Into Vienna Monday next and the
marriage the following day
there is an under-current
of terror based on the belief ot a
general recolntlonary movement of
nihilists in Russia , Austria , Germany
and Italy. The nihilists are perfectly
organized and In complete com-
municatlan , led by Intellects
close to every throne in Europe ,
and able to forecast and thwart every
government movement and organizi-
tion. ' Protected by an Impenetrable
mystery , it is felt all over Europe that
some slmnlanteous general movement
ia being prepared by the nihilits for a
terrible blow at royalty , and the
belief ia general that the next few
weeks will witness tragedies in
many countries that will shock the
world. The general expectation Is that
the Czar will be assassinated and his
death a signal for a series of trage
dies. Nihilist agents are on the fly
all over Europe.
LOYAL TO EACH OTHEK.
ST PETERSBURG , May 5 4 p. m.
It is found impossible for the govern
ment to get Into the Nihilist's circle ,
the nihilists being too loyal to ene an
other , too well Informed and too In-
intelligently organized. For Instance ,
the government has loirned tht one
of the rules cf the nihilists ia that
avery me'mber shall return to hia lodg
ings every twelve hours , when one of
his companions pays him a visit to
see If all Is right. When the visit of
the inspector la made , If the lodger IB
ibsent he is concluded to have been
irreated , and the inspector makes
way with eveiythlng of a compro-
nlslng nature. The same rule for-
aids any nihilist arrested to tell hia
lame or address till twenty-four
lourapaas.
The discovery of this rule was made
jy the pollcs in the case of Isaieff. j ]
So torments could draw from him his '
lame or address until the day after his
kEC > J.yhaiJuh _ ruiv hnth Tha nn.
.ends to Increase the government's i ,
Hsmay at the completeness of the
langer surrounding it , as in order to

identify every man found making a
rhit.

not know how they will stand when
the Missouri Pacific stock is increased
