LONDON , May 3 After conitant fluctua
tions during the week , from hopa to some
thing like despair , Englishmen to-day think
that peace is rather moro likely than war ,
The game cheerfulness prevails In the chief
continental capitals. It Is difficult to say
what solid bails exists for this belief. The
emperor has adopted and applauded Koran-
rod's apgrcsslvo action. To submit it to aibi-
tratlon would bo to present himself ai a cul
prit to ft foreign tribunal. Dleclosuro of the
fact that the English cabinet bad proposed
arbitration surprised the country. The an
nouncement has been coldly received. Arbl-
bitration is not even popular here in any case
and la distrusted especially where the point o !
honor U involved , The people think such n
proposals is a curious sequel to Gladstone's
magnificent speech in removing the vote ol
credit on Monday and the unanimous adop'
tlon by the house of commons without one
word of debate of the proposal which every
body felt meant war. That speech nevertheless -
less was certainly designed to prepare the
public mind for arbitration , Gladstone's sin >
pularly radical tonp , contrasted sharply will
his previous reference to Ponideh In spirit
But both here and abroad opinion agreed thai
ho meant to avoid irritating languageto leave
the responsibility for breaking peace whollj
with Itussia. I1 ow speeches delivered in oui
time have echoed through Europe as has thie
spocchofMr.Gladtsone. None have been more
generally applauded in England and on the
continent for ability , for splendor , for eleva
tion of sentiment , and for honorable regarrl
for peaca nnd morality and the highest Eng
lish and European interests.
WALES AND Tilt IltlSII.
The safe return of thn princa and thi
princess of W los from Ireland put nn end t (
the three weeks anxiety deeply felt in prlvati
though little discusrod In public , Thi
visit is hero r-gardml in all points a
a success. It It-avert the political tituatioi
unchanged , as the nationalist papers claim
but it is generally conceded that all classes
joined heartily in the welcome. The pro-end
of tha prince elicited surprising demonatra
tions of personal regard and loyalty to tni
crown , The real object of the journey , B J
the prince's friends , was finally attained

Special Telegram to the BEK.
CHICAGO , May 2. To a reporter lait night
General Manager Callaway , of the Union
Pacific , said his company proposes to stand
by tbo tripartite compact. "If the North
western failed to report its Nebraska business
to the pool before next Tuesday , " laid Calla *
way , "nothing remains to be done excapt to
formally declare that the Northwestern had
forfeited its membership in the association ,
and will no longer be allowed to divide the
pooled business with the other roads. "
Unless the Northwestern changes its mind
before next Tuesday and ngrecs to report its
Nebraska business a serious fight will no
doubt OIIBUO that will prevent the restoration
of rates for some time tn oino. In that event
itiaquita likely the Northwestern will have
to fignt alone , aa Itu Burlington is under
stood to bo willing to enter Into an agreement
with the tripartite combination if the luttur
makes proper conceesionn , and it is claimed
these concessions will bo made. The
reason for this attitude of the Jlur
llngton ia that it * Is as anxione
to prevent the construction of new lines ink
Nebraska aa is the Union Pacific , having jus !
as much at stake. It has become convinced
that the construction If a new line throuzk
Nebraska by the Northwestern would surel ]
result in the canstructionof other lines througl
Nebraska , of the tripartite combination wai
broken up , and for this reason , ic la claimed
it la willing to recognize the tripartite combl
nation , which it has heretofore refused to do
and make aach nrrangemeuta with it , as wil

A dBAVK SITUATION.
Special telegram to TIIK BKE.
CHICAGO , May 3. Tbe Interview with Ger
oral Manager Galloway of the Union PaciG
railroad , setting forth the company's positio :
in regard to the tripartite contract cause
somewhat of a sensation in railroad circles. I
has heretofore been the gensral impressio
that the Union llaciGc was lukewarm in il
adheranco to the tripartivo contract and woul
be glad to get out of it. It waa the first defi
nite information that the Union Pacific wt
as fully determined tn adhere to the repactit
agreement and have it faithfully carried out s
were the Rock Island , and the Milwaukee <
St Paul roods. There Is no longer any donb
that tha tripartite ngreement will be carrin
out regardless of what action the Northwest
ern may take. That the latter is also detei
mined to adhere to its position and will re
fuse to Jopott its Nebraska earnings Is equal !
certain. Under these circumstances a speed ]
settlement of the Western and the North
western wan cinnot be looked for as thi
Northwestern Is sure to make a determei
fight against the tripartite lines as soon as i
Is torced out of the combination.
Arbitrators will probably meet next Tues
day to take action against tbo Northwester !
for refusing to comply with their decision
that it must report its Nebraska business t
n the pool within thirty days from April
Under the rulei the arbitrators cannot d
otherwise than declare the Northwestern t
have forficited ita membership in the combine
tlon. A meeting of general managers of th
western and northwestern lines to be held a
Commissioner Carman's office to-morrow , wil
probably adjourn without taking action

NETT YORK , May 3. The amlcablo relations
which have so long existed between Maploson
and Mmo. Adelina Pattl , for a , consideration
of $4,000 for each performance , have suffered
a very rude shock , Maploson , through his
attorney , began yesterday a suit against Pattl
and NicolinI for the failure of the latter to
sing at tlmea when ho was wanted. The con
tract with Pattl was for $1,000 per night , and
the services of Nicolini were simply thrown
In , he not being obliged to sine in all the
operas in which she song , but only those in
which there waa a role suitable for him , and
never in any opera in which she did not ap
pear. Muploson says there were several
operas sung In which NicolinI could have ap
peared , but that ho refuted to do so. The
colonel , therefore , asks for $10,000 damages.
Patti'i friends are naturally very indignant at
the colonel's proceedings , and they declare
that hja action waa taken for the purposn of
annoying her on the day of her departure
Patti sailed to-day fur Kuropo , in company
with NicolinI , on the Auranla , They bad
taken farewell of their friends late last night ,
and but few were present when the steamer

DEMOCRATS.

Special selegram to THE BBS.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , May 3. While some
of the democratic senators and representa
tives , who are hunting offices , exhibit great
alacrity In mildly repudiating the sentiments
expressed by Senator Eustis touching the
civil service policy of tbo administration there
are others who have patted the caucus Phil-
lipio of the Louisiana senator in the crown of
their hats for exhibition to such suffering
democrats as have not seen it and for future
reference and use. Criticism as sharp as that
uttered by Euitico has been current for some
time among democrats in their private at
tacks and unless the president begins at an
early day to find places for those in quest ot
them the solo of Eustis will swell into a cho
I rus of many voices. Those who are publicly
professing to depreciate Eustie' baldness of
speech , privately commend him nnd express
tlio belief that it will have a very
good effect on the President
by showing him that his failure to immedi
ately turn over offices to the democrata will
assuredly create n division In his party in con <
great and formidable opppsition to his admln <
istratlon. Those who are pursecuting offices
are quiescent now because they are constrained /
strained to remain so in the hope that theli
partisan services will bo acknowledged by the
bestowal upon them of federal power and pat
rouape. While the proeident's delay and
apparent indifference to their claims hsvi
caused them to have some doubts , they are
still hopeful of the reaulta. But should il
appear that the offices are not to be distrib
uted according to the expectation of the dem
ocratic party the recent declaration of Mr ,
Eustis will be supplemented by f elimination !
that can not fall to bo very interesting read
ing.
ing.Some of the removals are worthy of notice
James Hill , for instance , a noted colored mar
of Mississippi , who has been internal revenui
collector for some years was removed on thi
ground that ho WAS an offensive partisan ant
nn active leader and organizer of republicans
He probably was a terror to the democrats o
Coplah county which Is in that tnterna
revenue district. They preferred to have Ii
his placD one Syckes as to whose offenslvi
partisanship no details are furnished.
Another removal worthy of notice , waa oni
of the most efficient special customs agenti
ever in the government service , 8. E. Cham-
berlin , who has probably done more to detec
and expose undervaluations in the Importa
tion of sugar than has anyone in tha govern
ment employ. He has been removed , thi
reason alleged , being that he was born ii
Vermont , was appointed from Virginia am
voted In Maryland. It ia tine that he wa

hlch came from the dental rooms of J. M.
Lucaa over Harley'a durg store. Dr. Iley-

ess than nine cuts which had been made by

nought , bad a revolver In one hand , while
with the other he grasped the knife-hand of
of hia assailant.
Davis , the would-ba murderer , was con
veyed to jail at oucu , nnd Lucin was given
the attention of three or four physicians. The

age , and for three years pact baa been living
on n farm near Bennett in the south put of
the county , In an interview at the jail with
THE BEE correspondRnt , Davis said he wanted

about three weeks ago left hla family and
wont to New Mexico. There he could not
rest without his family ho has hia wife and

Special Telegram to THE BKE.
CHICAGO , May 3. Howard Lovejoy , who
ormerly held n responsible position In the
and office at Nlobrara , Neb. , was aneitrd In
city yesterday on a chaigo of having em-
rtzzlod $12,000 from the fedoinl government
wo yean ago while holding the position of
ecelver of public monies for the ealo of lands ,
"xivejoy , who claims to bo moneyless , has
een living in Chicago two years , having
made this hla destination at the time ho dis
appeared from Nebratka. His nrrest yester
day ; was authorized by a warrant Isiuod by
United States Commissioner Uavne , sug-
getted by n copy of the Indictment returned
by tbo United States grand jury two yearn
ago , the same having been forwarded from
Nebraska to Marshal Jones , of this district ,
whose deputies inndo the arrest.
Lovejoy was arraigned baforo Commissioner
Latto in the afternoon. He admitted that
lie was the man to whom the indictment rcfercd
He made a short rambling statement of what
he says are the facta in the case. The sub
stance of bis story is that ho was short In his
accounts but that ho had been honest and
that the shortage had been duo to hla care
lessness In leaving his business to other
peoplo.
To a reporter who called lit the jail last night
he said that ho had held the office of receiver
of public moneys nt the Niobrara lacd office
fur three years. The salary of the position
woa § 800 , but the fees were worth $3,000.
"At the time I left there , " ho said , "it was
claimed that there was a shortage in my
accounts. I acknowledge that I came away
because I did not want to be arrested. If I
had deeitod to take anything that did not
belocg to mo I could have kept 315,000 belonging -
longing to the government which I deposited
in the .First National bank , of Lincoln , Neb. ,
a government depository , on my way to
Chicago. I did not brkg o dollar with mo ,
and have since lived by doing waiever csmo
into my hands. " Lately , ho said , his business
hid been cleaning up saloons and restaurants
by contract. He did not do the wojk himself
but kept men in hia employ who weio sent
out in t quads to do the work.
IN KXPLANATION
of the cbargo Lovojoy said ho shared his office
with another government official whoso duties
were incidental to liis own ; that he , Lovejoy ,
had a great deal of political work to attend to
and WBB frequently called away from his
office to attend conventions In different partn'
of the state ; that , In order to enable him to
do this , be got into the habit of signing blank
receipts which were filled out In his abienoo
by either one or two other officials ; that on hia
return he invariably failed to coun the menoy
and verify the amount with the receipts. Ha
thought it Impolite to do this , since the ser
vice rendered by the others was performed
gratitioualy. He says be makes no charges of
dishonesty against either of the men , but that
be always was unable to make the figures bal
ance in consequence of this loose habit.
Lovejoy Is over GOyears of age. Though ho
understands bookkeeping he has spent the
greater part of his life farming. He Is a man
of reipectablo appearance , and apparently of
more fvrco of character than hia own state
ment * Indicate.
