All the noiHi of Kuglnnd Is up In nrins
agntnst tlio coercion bill. Kvcry newspaper
on either bldo hi Durham , Yorkshire , Lanca
shire , or tlio border counties , prints accounts
of the excitement ovci the question In tlio
United Slates. That veteran , Joseph Cowan ,
who refused to enter parliament at the tlmo
of tlmlastelections , has been much .sought
after hero to-day for an expression of his
views , remarked that nil the evidence goes to
show that the geminent ] mean to persist
In their headlong course ; that they mean to
face tlio consequence of their cross
policy. They will illller from other
governments that have plajcd at
the name gnmo If they have not to repent ,
lie also added that the government , by aid
of cloture , will no doubt pet their repressive
measure , but It will fnll , ns all similar
measures have failed. It would appear that
every Kngllsh party bccomcsdemonted when
they coma to deal with Ireland , notwith
standing the bitter , humiliating axpetienco
of n generation. They will rccognl/o the
truth of the axiom , endorsed by all history ,
that It'S ' Impossible to extinguish a national
idea by lon'al enactment. The Irisli people
arc resolved to llvo their own life ,
to manage their affairs In their own wny ,
anil there Is no power in Englnnd to prevent
them. The sooner this conclusion Is accepted
and acted upon the bettor It will be , botli for
England and lor licland.
Air. Cowan was twelve years In parliament
nud was recently suspected of union views ,
but the above piovcs ho Is the same indepen
dent sturdy Northumberland thinker of old.
The force of American opinion Is strongly
recognised everywhere In this vicinity.

At a meeting In Chelsea to-night a letter
was read from Gladstone In which ho said :
"Our adversaries have availed themselves ol
tlio fact that 1 have taken a largo share In
placing tlio Iilsh problem as a question ol
practical politics before the country to pleail
that it Is a personal aifnir , that It Is not n
tuie conviction , and that the ueople are nol
in eenulno sympathy with the Justice of the
Irish demand. A little reserve on my parl
will help them to bo sooner undeceived anil
to profit more eilcctlvoly by tlio teaching

High Officials Fall Out.
WASHINOTO.V , April0. ISpccial Telegram
to the Br.K.j A bitter contention has ex
isted foi some tiino between Second Comp
troller , Maynard , now assistant secretary of
the treasury , and Secretary of War Kndlcott.
Secretary Kndlcott has demanded that tlio
accounts of Surgeon Billing.- ; , Lieutenant
Uay and Captain Wheeler for mileage while
traveling abroad , which wore disallowed , be
referred to the court of claims. This the
second comptroller refused to do , leplying
that tlio claims weie definitely determined ,
that they were disallowed and the papers
tuincdo\er to the second auditor , and theio
the matter ended. Secretary Endicott then
stated that it the second comptroller would
not refer the claims to the court of claims for
ho himself would do it , to
' Jlr. Maynard replied just before
iavlng the comptroller's ofllco to go
ito that of the assistant secretary
t the treasury , and ho closes his
Htcr thus : "If the secretary ot war
as any doubt with refeicnco to tlio cor-
ectness of his own views upon any or all of
he abstract questions of the law propounded
ii his letter , the opinion of the court of claims
hercon might bo of value to him , but as this
ftlco has no doubt and so far as it can bo
earned this department has none with refer-
ncc to tlio conectness of the adjustment of
he accounts relericd to , It Is not seen how a
'eferenco ol these cases by another depart-
ncnt to the court of claims can affect the past
r control future action of the treasury de-
lartmcnt thereon. " The controveisy has
reated quite a stir in ofliclal circles , blnco
hii pert action of .Maynard Is construed to
nean that he has the secretary of the treas-
iry and a precedent at his back In taking
uch a pobitlvti Issue with the secietary ot

Among I'lcsidentCIeu'land'seallers to-day
, \as J. 11. Haverly , the well-known minstrel
nanaiser. The president icceived him very
louliiilly and he lemained almost half an
lour.
"You arnlooklnir in much better health
.han I expected to see you"said Mr. llaverly ,
, vHo had never seen Mr. Cleveland before.
1'iom nowspapei reports 1 expected to Und
ou in dccllnlui ; health. "
"The newspapers have published many
ridiculous stories about the state ot my
icalth , " replied Mr. Cleveland , "and they
lave biouglit to me a Hood ot letters and ail-
, 'Ico relating to sanitary matteis. You ought
.0 see the room lull of machines nnd health
appliances which have been sent to me. All
kinds ot suggestions about oxcrzlso and es
pecially reducing my llesh have been re
ceived , together with every conceivable ath
letic machine. "
" 1 guess jou are able to cope with most
any kind ot a machine , " said Ilavorly , icfer-
rlng to political machines. " 1 hope you are ,
for I want to help you If you arc not. "
The president saw the point to the pun and
rctoited : "I presume 1 can handle them If I
want to. That's a question : Do 1 want to ? "
"I'm thinking ot buying n little homo
icre. " remarked llaverly , and am glad to
Jeain that you have done so much to help the
boom In real estate in Washington by your
purchase and support. "
The president made no reply and blushed ,
and Mr. Haverly was puzzled thereat. When
he related that part of the conversation with
the president and was told the president con
sidered his support of tlio re.il estate boom a
very delicate subject , owing to the Massachu
setts avenue scandal , the minstrel blushed
and expressed regret at his observation.
When asked if tin invited tlio picsldent to at
tend his show to-night , llaverly said , "No ; 1
Intended to when 1 went to see tlio piesldent ,
but after talking to him a little while J con
cluded it would bo in bad taste , as tills is
holy week and ho might have some religious
scruple about attending shows now. "
IIUCKNT.U I'OK JOKUAN'4 SHOKS.
It is reported that the piesldent has been
persuaded to take Into .serious consideration
the advisability of appointing ex-Congress
man Bucknt'r , of Missouil , a successor to
United States Treasurer Jordan. It Is under
stood that such an appointment woul
tend to remove certain disagreeable -
able complications in democratic
politics in Missouri , and It is rcpicsented
it might at tlio same tlmo help
the piesident's prospects in that state. It is
represented that Uuckner is in hearty accord
with the administration In regard ta the sil
ver and currency questions. It Is probable
also that ho has modified his opinions some
what in regard to the oatsonal banking sys
tem , but his appointment as treasurer would
hardly bo regarded with favor by the friends
ot that spstem ,
EHE COMING TliKASUTtUn.
Itepresentatlvu Outhwalto and other promi
nent Ohio democrats who have talked
to President Cleveland on the subject
to-day do not think Theodore Cook , of Cin
cinnati , will bo appointed treasurer of the
United States as announced last week It
would bo done. The president said : "I did
think of Cook at Hist , but have been combIng -
Ing the universe for the best man and I think
I will get him. " It Is believed the tieasurer
will come from the cast unless the president
reconsiders Cook.

letter from Indian Agent . C. Osborno at
the Ponca , Pawnee and Otoo agency , Indian
Teriitory , under date of April 2,1857 :
With a profound sense of icgrct I have to
repeat that In discharging yesterday K. M.
Smith , a tanner at the Otoe agency , fet
general bad conduct upon the agency , but
chielly because ot his ungovernable temper ,
which was continually being turned loose
upon both employes and Indians , I had tc
kill him In self-defense. Ho repeatedly
threatened to kill tlio clerk In charge , wlic
reported his bad conduct and asked that he
bo discharged. I wont to Otoe to explain to
him my reasons for discharging him , to heai
his defense , It ho had any , to pay him his
salary for the pact quarter , and to dismiss
him. While very calmly and quietly per
forming this duty he made a violent attack
upon the clerk in charge , whom ho wounded
on the arm , and then turned upon Mr. Jus
tice , the agency blacksmith , and myself ,
with a cocked and levelled revolver and
with the manner of a maniac , when I sliol
him dead. 1 am thoroughly convinced thai
1 saved three lives in taking his , and when
it Is considered that one of those three Is mi
own , and the only ono I have , 1 trust I ma )
be exonerated.
Osborne Is from Gallatln , Tenn. , and ha !
