Special Tekram to The BKK.
BKIU.IN , Juno 11. German diplomats nl-
logo that ono of the causes , nnd the greatest
one , of the resignation of the Gladstone gov
ernment was tha failure of the secret mission
of Karl Ilosobarry to liorlln. These diplomats
now assert that the object of that mission wn
to secure n reconsideration between Mr. Glad
stone and Prince Bismarck. Another cause
Is said to bo the failure of the Kight Uon
Joseph Chamberlain's recent secret mission to
Paris. Mr , Chamberlain's trip to Paris was
at the time It was made , announced to b
simply for pleasure nnd recreation. Official
in the kaiser's foreign service declare , how
ever , that Mr , Chamberlain was sent to th
French capital by Gladstone for th
the purpoio of obtaining from M , D
Freycinet , French minister of foreign affairs
nn Anglo-French alliance on Egyptian nflaire
This was to bo based on unequal shares In th
control qf tha country , tha English control t
bo paramount , what was to te accorded Franc
being on embassy from Kiutr John of Abyn
slnin , the establishment of which m the Khe
dive's dominions and in relation with Kng
land would prove counteractive of Italian do
signs. It is declared that the failure of bet
those missions greatly discourages Gladstone
who , losing hcurt at the discovery of what hi
believes was a deep hostility toward Knfdam
entertained by her immediate continents
neighbors , suddenly awoka to a keen sense o
the failure cf his foreign policy , aad coiicludec
. to abandon political life.
VICTORIA STICKS TO GLADSTONE.
LONDON , Juno 11. 8 p. m. The latest reports
ports from authentic sources indicate th
eventual appearance of Gladstone in office a
the head of a reconstructed anti-coorcian
cabinet. Gladstone still wishes to abaudoi
political life and if he changes his mind am
continues nt the head of British affairs it wi
bo nt the urgent solicitation of the queen. .
largo number of official telegrams huvo pneset
to-day between London nnd Balmoral ,
VICTOUIA WANTS INl'OnilATION.
The Stnndird to-day says : The queeu ha
requested Gladstone to transmit to her hi
vluws in full on the political cnals , In orJe
that arrangements may be made to avert ai
immediate change in the British ministry
It is not expected that tha queen will ccep
the resignation of tlio ministers or that any
final decision will bo reached concerning th
question of changing the government unti
the queen return ] lo Windsor castle. Th
conservatives can do nothing until th
queen's wishes bo made known , and n
the meantime It is doubtful if tlio libsra
cabinet can hold together , so great are the
differences at present existing between it
members. There exists nn impression whic
dally deepens that tha Gladstone ministry
courted their recent defeat for the purpose o
concealing behind Its excitement their own
dissentions. The statements made since th
defeat by some of the liberal members wh
absented themselves from the vote on th
fatal decision show that the governmcn
miht have saved themselves on that vote I
they cared seriously to do BO ,
A BOOM FOR HAUTINQTON.
It Is rumored that tbo marquis of Hartlng
ton , secretary of state for war , will be asked
by the queen to reconstruct the liberal minis
try , Gladstone to retire.
SEXTON'S ODSEIIVATIONS.
Thomas Sexton , home ruler member of par
liament for ShVo , was interviewed to-day on
the subject of the ministerial crisis. Ho wa
of tbo opinion that the conservatives woul (
accept power in order to utilize the opportu
nity to show the country that they posses
moro governing faculty than the liberals do
Unless they slezo the present chance of favor
ably Impreesing the electors , young toriej wil
find their hair gray before they get int
power. He regarded Lord ttandolpl
Churchill as tbe mnn for Irish secretary
Lord Randolph he said , had often shown
friendly feeling toward Ireland , nnd a ciuac
ity to take a tolerably fair view of the Irlsl
question. His success or failure would de
tend upon whether ho would be content to b
simply the inouth-pieco of the Irish officials

Specia Telegram to The BKK.
NEW YOHK , Juua 11. The Sun's specla
from London Bays ; Two days nnd night
have passed slnca the defeat of tha govern
ment , nud the plans nnd intentions of the
ministry of the oppoiition nnd of the qaeen
nre an much matters of mystery as the mo
ment , whan Gladstone , with woll-ilmuhtoc !
surprise , turned pale , clutched at the air , nnt
glared at the turbufent mob which cu iposei
the house Monday night Things are at n dead
lock f 9 far as the leaders of the two great par
ties aio concerned , through the unwillingness
of the liberals to abandon , and tbo reluctance
of the conservatives to accept tbo responaibil
Jtlcs of office. The initiative that shall settle
the question must como from thooutelde ; thai
Is to say , from the queen , Itia now admittei
that all depends upon her action , and there is
open grumbling nt her abiauce in Scotland at
ruch a crisis , Strong hints ore frivon by even
the most loynl newspapers that it is her duty
to return forthwith to London , or to Windsor ,
in view of tba great delay likely to ba
c kusod by her absence , Tha house of com
mons had to ba adjourned for three days In-
ftond of one , becausn the queen was five
hundred miles away , Kvery statesman whom
she desires to BOO nud use ( doubtless she will
find n necessity for consulting with several of
them ) must make an all day journey to wait
upon her , and they cannot all be nummoned
nt once , but o.uh must wait until
hla prodoceaior'd audieucd is finished ,
All this must greatly prolong the
existing condition of chaos in which
country Ia running itself. With prnctioally
no government in existence , it must sorely
and nnnccjesarlly tax tbe patience of the people
plo , who long to ecu tbe crhu ended ono way
or another. It limit unsettle vuluei and de
range bnimeii and must bring confusion into
thousands of administrative detail * , which
are left at loose end * . It is generally believed
at this moment that the queen1 will advise
the pieseiit ministry to romsiiv in oflice until
the approaching general elections give the
country the means of deciding between their
policy and that of the opposition.

CHICAGO , 111. , June 11. It appears that
an effort was made to injure R. 15. Harrison ,

that an Investigation showed that public
money had been used for private purposes ,
As this wan signed by the authorized npent
of the press , it was permitted to pass. A
friend of Harrison , having challenged the
statement , an investigation was instituted ,
and the Helena agent called on for an ex
planation. He promptly pronoucced the use
of his nune a forgery. The Western Union
telegraph company will now bo called on by
the Associated Press to explain why Its man
ager at Helena accepted nnd transmitted a
forged dispatch. That company will ba hold
to n strict accountability in the case. Word
has been received from thp United States

OHICAQO , 111. , Juno 11. The temper of
wheat suddenly bscamo weak to-day
doiplto the predictions made by the 'govern *
ment oxpcrta in the Juno crop report , that the
yield would fall 23,000,000 bushels under 1881 ,
which lias coma to bo known as the shorl
crop year , Thegovernmen estimates though
predicting the extremely short crop ylelc
were not aa low as many traders had conG-
dently predicted , and those latter took ex
ception to the figures given ns to tbo probable
spring yield , which Is estimated at the same
figures as last year , when It is claimed thai
the state reports all show o decreased acreage
for spring wheat. Prominent bear operators
join in asserting , however , that until the
present stock of wheat In atoro begins to decrease -
crease in volume the prcrent low
prices will continue to prevail , The
amount of whenfc on ocean was reported
to bo 1,1-10,000 buihola less than last week ,
which gave a tone of firmness to the market
early to-day , but tha offerings wcro large , and
a strong selling movement wss innuguratoc
before the day closed , carryinc prices down
two cents from last night's closing. Selling
became very general at one time and the
bears were _ encouraged to pud out some largo
"short" lines in anticipation of still lower
prices , Buying was good , all the way down ,
however , and the closing was steady at near
ly the full decline. The weather was line ,
and the foreign advices unfavorable , whlcl
also bad their effect upon values ,
COIIN.
Corn ruled weak , in sympathy with wheat
but the decline was coniined to Jc , thp miukc

story of authentic character comes from
Calgeary. A half-breed named Francis
Hemeau reached tlis mission at Calgeory yes
terday in an almost dying condition , and
told how his family and other families were
foully murdered by Indians about the time
of the Duck Lake fight , Remoau was freightIng -
Ing north from Duck Lake for the Hudson
liver company tg Green Lake , returning via
Carleton , Not far from the lat'.er ' place
Father Paquet told him of the Duck Luke
fight and advised him not to
go any farther south , Ho was
then near Carlcton , Father Paquot re-
maiuod with his family and three other fami
lies , and they left for the north , intending to
reach Green lake. The party afterwards' di
vided , leaving Jtomeau with his family and
anptbqr family to follow on , About five
weeks ago , while they were on the trail to
Green lake , and with Itameau away from
camp hunting for game , several Indians
pounced on the camp and killed Itemeaa'g
wife , hit three boya and two girls within
sight of their fat or , who bad nothing but n
shotgun and a few charges of shot. Ills first
Impulse was to luih forward , but the distance
was too great , and he says he could have been.
of no assistance. The Indians also killed the
occupant' of the other camp and Kemeau
turned about , etruck for the south , and has
been nearly nine weeks reaching a place of
safety. Kemeau is a skeleton , lie iivod on

An Intelligent DOR tlint Cnrrlca tlio
[ Mull to Some- California Minors.
San Francisco Post ,
The Calico mining district boasta the
possession of the moat romorkablo doer
hoard from up to this date. Ho la a
Scotch colllo dog , known as "Doraoy , "
and ho ia employed as special mall car
rier over the ular routobotweon the town
of Calico and the mines at Bismarck ,
sorno three miles distant. "Star Route
Dorsoy , " aa the boya call the dog , la the
property of the brothora Stacy , who
own a Btoro at the ir.lnos , and another at
Calico. There is no postofQco at the
nilno and no mail Burvlco , and were It
not for the 'Jntolllgonco of Doraoy the
fifty odd minors at Blamarck would have
to wait for a week for news of the out
side world. Bat every day , as the stage
from Daggott drives up to Stacy's store
at Calico. Dorsay is on hand , waiting
fcr his mall-poach to bo filled , nnd as
aoon ns it Is strapped on his back oil' ho
goes cloug the rocky trail to Bismarck ,
at a gait which brings the mall there
twenty mlnutea after the stage stops a
Calico. Dorscy , as coon as ho arrives a
Bhmarclf , goes straight to Stacy's store
and until the pouch ia taken off wll
allow no ono but Ills master to como near
him. When tbo mall is removed ho
goes off to have n tlmo with the Bla
marck dogs and enjoy himself , only re
turning to the store at meal time. Ho
alonpa nt Bismarck , and after breakfast
every day , ho gets the mall for Calico
from Stncy and takes It to Calico.
There ia nothing very remarkable
about carrying a mail-pouch three miles
and back every d y ; but Dorsey is a
wonderful dog , and the moro ho Is
watched the moro wonderful things found
out about him. There are three trails
bctwc'on the mine and Calico and Doraoy
makes It a rule never to tsko the same
one twice running , thongh ono is much
better than the others. The minors eay
that Doraey fears an ambuscade , but
whatever hla reason It is a well-defined
ono , for ouca , when ho need Q trail ha
had taken the day before , ho wns ob
served to hesitate In doubt whether to
retrace his steps or not , and finally to
make a break acrosa a fearfully rough
country to the other trail. When Dor
aey has the mail ho will allow no one to
touch him , and will run from any dog In
the camp ; but TTOO bo to the dog that
annoys Dorsey on duty , for Dorsoy ,
when relieved of his load , will surely got
even , and ho Is not afraid of any dog In
the district. The minors all say that
Dorsey can toll the time , for ho never
has to bo called , and juat before mall
tlmo will go up to Stacy and bother him
till ho gets lit ! letters. If no letters are
given to him at the usual hour , ho does
not Trait around , but goes off to Calico ,
where ho spends the day , A conplo cf
weeks ago Dorsey was paying some little
attention to a female canine friend at
Calico , Ho had a rival , who took advan
tage of Dorsoy'a absence to Ingratlato
himself with Doreoy'a flame. But It ap
pears that Doraey had made calculations
for something of the kind , and when the
mall was removed at Bismarck ho dashed
back to Calico fer the first tlmo since ho
has boon on the routo. His hated rival ,
secure In Dorscy's supposed absence , was
making the most of his tlmo , when Dor-
coy appeared on the scene and 1 tornlly
toro his ears off. The minera at Biemarck
have had Dorsoy photographed , and have
presented him with a soft leather ponch ,
which goes over hla back like a saddle ,
and is very convenient for the dog to
carry. Dorsoy's weight In gold would
not buy him from his rough , kind
friends.
