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.

" 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.

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.

DEMOCRATS. SENATOR IC3TI81 CONDEMNATION OK OL1VELAND 18 BILENTLT APrilOViD. 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 born in Vermont and happened to be ii Virginia because he went there a a union soldier to aid In the sun prosflien of tha rebellion , H was wounded many times ; fought throngh th war ; staid in Virginia ; married his wife there and has raised his children there , and wlthli a few years has removed to Baltimore , am because permanently stationed at the custon house in that city , When SenatorShermanwa | secretary of the treasury Chamberlain wa sent to Baltimore as special agent in th famous sugar Investigation sot on foot b ; Sherman.

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.
