senate at 2:10 o'clock this nf-
reached a vote on the Chin
ese Immigration treaty aud adopted
it , there being only four dissenting
rotes , one of them beicg Senator
Eoar.
THE SCAIUBT LETTER.
Notwithstanding the emphatic de
nial made by Senator Dawos Tuesday
night , the letter telegraphed from
iero Monday night in which the pres
cient expresses his views very freely
regarding the efforts of the republican
senators to elect as secretary of U > o
enate a man who is dslly assailing
33th himself and the administration
s genuine , excepting the latter part
which refers to Robertson's nomina-
, lon. This docs not appear in the
letter. The president does not heii-
Ute to acknowledge the letter and
Bays he will stand by it to the end.
Ho Is not to l > o frightened from his
purpose to do what he considers to be
lor the beat interests of tbe country.
As to
BOBEMSON'S NOMINATION ,
while no reference is made to it in the
letter to Senator Dawes , the president
did on several occasions oxprees his
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 hs ;
duty to the best of his ability in se
lecting good and efficient men to fill
certain offices. He sent their names
to the senate for the notion of that
body. It remains now for the senate
to do iti best in a straightforward way ,
without attempting to coerce the
executive into doing that which
neither his judgmeutnor his conscience
can approve , viz : withdraw certain
nominations simply because they are
personally objectionable to a few sen
ators. The president baa the best in
terests of his party at heart , and will
do all ho can In an honorable way to
promote that Interest , but he can not
and will not submit to being bullied.
TWINKLING STAUS.
For some dtya past , certain parties
connected with the alleged irregulari
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 wrs
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 earning from Chicago.
The letter is genuine , and was written
by the president. He acknowledges
it to be his letter and says tbat ho
stands by it as he does by Dawes' let
ter. The facts as to how the letter
came to be written are abont as fol
lows : It . .eeeme that in the spring
campaign of last year General Brady ,
being anxious to show his zaal in the
republican cause and to contribute as
much material support as possible ,
belbought himself to call on the
mail contractors to contribute to the
campaign. In this suggestion he was
aided by Hubbell , who thought it
would b "tho thing. " Gen. Brady ,
who seemed always to be looking
ahead , pcssibly for breakers , sug
gested that a request from Gen. Garfield -
field would most probably" induce the
contractors to come down hand
somely. Acting in this sugges
tion Hubbell went to Mentor
to see General Garfield 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
elided the brief letter published this
morning , and which seems to have
been relied upon by the star ronte par
ties as the petard for hoisting the ad
ministration Into an unenviable no
toriety.
There is nothing in the letter that
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 tbe
president conld not meet ; that its
damaging disclosure would ruin him ,
&c. , and yet the president
DARES TO MEET IT ,
and own he wrote It , If any one
thinks that the president can bo de
terred by threats or sveu persuaded to
forego a thorough investigation of the
star route service , he is mistaken.
Thepicsldent has made uphis mind to
push his investigation to the end acd
to punish , If possible , to the full ex
tent of the hw all who are found
guilty of auy criminal act He intends
also to have all departments of the
government thoroughly overbaulsd ,
to get rid of all dead-wood , and , as he
puts It , "to Infuse'ncw blood into the
civil service. " Consequently it will
bo a wise thing for the heads of bur
eaus and clarks to got their desks in
good order 23 soon as possible.
Senat ? .
WASHINGTON , M y 5. The aenato
went into executive aetalon immedi
ately bfter the reading of the record
this morning. The discussion of the
Chinese treaties vrcs at once resumed.
The nominations of Robertson ,
Matthews and Chandler still awat
consideration.
The senate , In executive session ,
confirmed nominations as follows ,
Wm. Walter Phelps , of New Jersey ,
minister to Austria ; Cortez Fessen-
den , of Rome , Mich. , United
States surveyor general of Dakota ;
Richard Montgomery , to bo receiver
of public moneys at Bloomington ,
Mich. ; Seldeu M. Bronson , to be
postmaster at Menasha , Winnebago
county , WIs. ,
Tbe speeches -made Jn executive
session this afternoon were none of
them long. Tna principal speakers
were Senators Hatrley , Burnside and
Miller , and U was due in a grest
measure to the forcible manner in
which the e gentlemen put the matter
'
tha't the opposition to the Chinese im-
mlgratBn treaty was so slight. Not
even four , as first stated , voted
against it , the only opposing votes be-
i"g those of Senators Divrca and
Hoar , both of Massachusetts.
Debate on the Chinese commercial
treaty didfnot consume more than an
hour. The objections of the few
Now Eupland senators were over
whelmed by arguments in favor of
the treaty , and it was adopted with
only a half dczn dissenting voices.
The balance of the session was con
sumed in confirmations of abont one
hundred nomination ? , according to
the list.
A message from the president with
drawing nominations , creatad quite 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 senate came out of ex
ecutive session and adjourned till 12
to-morrow.

NEW YORK'S SENSATION.
The French Troupe Which Mme.
Tournie Says Mine , 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 G 1 a. , m. The
elopement of Mme Ambre at ill affords
the most Interesting gossip. Versions
of beth sides of this singular case hare
been already published , but a reporter
\rai fortunate euongh to obtain an in
terview with Madam Tournie , the
wife of the truant Lothario. Madam
Tonrnie la of medium height , stout
and with regular features that are
made additionally attractive by a pair
of large 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 Tournie sa'.d in substance as
follows : "I hare been married to M.
Tournio only for about three yeats.
Previous to this he was my very dear
friend , whom I liked very much. He
has always shown me the greatest at I
tention until he met this woman ,
Ambre , who , though considerably
older than ho is , yet continued to
throw a gleam over him aud won his
affections from me. I first noticed
this when wo were playing in New
Orleans. He seemed to make love in
the most earnest manner on the scage
and I mentioned it to him , but he
shrugged his shoulders and said that
it was necessity to put some realism
Intojthe 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
all was not smooth.
"When wo were traveling my hus
band was continually with M. de
Beauplan and his wife , and when Da
Beauplan would leivo the carriage ray
husband always maneged to get a lit
tle closer to Ambre. I noticed till ? ,
and told my husband I would stand it
no longer ; whereupon he told me he
would do as he pleased in spite of tbe
devil himself. When wo reached
New York the affair became so bad
that the members of the company
ussd to remark it , and I had to en
dure all'their sneers aud jokes. I
did not speak to him about it again ,
but let the matter drift as it would
till night before last , when the cli
max came.
"I am going to remain in New
York another week and then 1 shall
sail for Frauce and go to my hus
band's father who lives near Trouville.
The company hated Ambro because
she was so domineering and because
she influenced Mr. Beauplan in his
manner of acting with us. If it had
not been for her everything would
have sailed along smoothly and we
would have been playing to full
houses in Now York , but she spoiled
it all. She is a perfect fiend and likes
trouble , purely for trouble's sake.
"Tho worst feature of the whole
matter is that there are abont eight
members of the troupe who are abso
lutely destitute. Some had to sleep
in Madison street eqnare because they
did not have money enough to pay for
their lodging. Oh , yes , Ambro is M.
Do Beauplan's wife and his father ,
Count Beauplan , disowned him because -
cause ho married her. She has ruin
ed other men in the same way and
she is in a fair way to destroy all De-
Bcauplan's hopes of reconciliation
with his father. Ambro is very rich
and Beauplan Is also wealthy , but hit
fortune la invested in real estate about
Pacie , and its disposition would be
very difficult unless it be attended in
person. I dou't expect M. De B. to
pay the salaries when the company
reaches France , if it over does. I
think ho will leave France and rnsti-
cate for a while where his lovely
wife can't be running away with other
people's husbands.
The fair Mine. Ambre writes the
following letter in her own behalf to
' , ho editor of The Courier des Etats
Unis , of which the following is a
translation :
NEW YORK , May 4.
MONSIER EDITOK : I am exceed
ingly astonished to road In the news
papers stories of my flight with Mon-
sier Tourole. 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 been
a'aying , It is true , and if I do not
give my new address it is in order
to avoid the presence of
the unhappy and broken-hearted
oeoplo whom I can no longer relieve.
I am conscious of having done my
duty to the utmost of my power ,
having lost in Mr. DeBeauplan's un
dertaking and without being in the
slightest degree responsible the sum
of § 75,000 , besides my salary for six
months. In this lees I do not include
that of my jewels , which are pledged
for § 4,000. As to M. Tournie ,
whether he left the city alone or not
does not concern me. One thing I
know that concerns me , is that Mme
Toutnle might have taken the trouble
( o be better informed before starting a
scandalous story which might cost her
dear. No ; M. Da Beauplan and my
self entertain for her husband the
highest regard and esteem , which is
due aim. Hoping , Monsieur , that
yen will extend a favorable reception
to this letter , I beg you to receive the
assurance of my distinguished consid
eration.
( Signed ) EMILIE AMBRE.
It will be noticed , however , that
this letter is dated Ma/ , and it is
further claimed by all parties inter
ested that the departure of Mme.
Ambro and M. Tourlne simultaneous
ly Is , to say the least , singularly coin
cidental.
AN ELOPEMENT , SURE.
The latest devclopoments In the
matter of the elopement of Mme.
Ambre , wife of the manager of the
French opera company , with M.
Tournlo , the tenor , are that the
couple went from Westminster hotel
to the Pamlico restaurant with
their baggage. They departed during
the night , and are thought to have
sailed for Europe. M. De Beauplan
is also missing , and many members
of the opera company ate left in a
destitute condition.

Aa a result of The Evening News' ex-
poaoof the loosenesss and mismanage

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 baaed on the belief ot a
general recolutionary movement of
nihilists in Russia , Austria , Germany
and Italy. The nihilists are perfectly
organized and in complete com-
municatien , 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 almnlanteous general movement
is being prepared by the nihilits for a
terrible blow at royalty , and the
belief is 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 tragu-
dies. Nihilist agents are on the fly
all over Europe.
LOYAL TO EACII OTHER.
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 lotrned tint one
of the rales cf the nihilists is that
every member 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 vhlt of
the inspector Is made , if the lodger is
absent he is concluded to have been
arrested , and the inspector makes
away with everything of a compro
mising nature. The same rule for
bids any nihilist arrested to tell bis
name or address till twenty-four
hours pass.
The discovery of this rule was made
by the pollca in tbe case of Isaieff.
No torments could draw from him his
name or address until the day after his
arrest when he gave both. The po-
llco wont to hia houao and found
nothing but a pile of ashen before
laileflfs fire placer. The dlscdvery
tends to increase the government's
dismay at the completeness of the
danger surrounding it , as in order to
even find out who the nihilist inspec
tors are , would have to ascertain and
identify every man found making a
visit.
.MINISTERIAL VICTORY IN SPAIN.

the friends of the Iron Mountain do
not know how they will stand when
the Missouri Pacific stock is increased
from 518,000,000 to § 30CCOOCO. The
holders of Missouri Pacific , however ,
claim their stock ought to sell at
$1.20. Itle officially Intimated that
the Tezai Pacific consolidation will bo
consummated within ten days and the ,
stockholders of the Texes Pacific will
bo fairly treated and in some quar
ters it is announced that they will
obtain as good terms s the Iron Moun
tain stockholders. The Texai Pacific
Is being slowly assorted by friends
who know what the eiact terms will
be. It is thought that when the pres
ent short interest iu the Iron Moun
tain is cornered that tbe bulb will
take hold of the Texas Pacific and
put It along side of the Iron Mountain ,
