LONDON, May dispatch from Tirpnl, dated April 33, says thst tha Afghans seem enraged at the failure of England to support them after their advance to Pulikhisti, which brought on Gen.

Waller, of Connecticut, who left to-day tar London to enter upon his duties there as consul general. The dinner was given under the auspices of the "Waller Staff association," as a complimentary tribute to their former efficient chief. The Hotel St Hare was selected as the place, and at 8 o'clock, in one of the spacious private dining rooms, a score of representative men of Connecticut assembled to do honor and bid a formal farewell to their ex-governor.

An elaborate and -wholly admirable menu -was done ample justice to, and whan at 10:30 the curling bins smoke of fragrant Havana? rose slowly toward the ceiling Gen.

vote of credit last Monday evening, Mr. Gladstone laid great stress on England's I obligations of honor to the ameer of Afghan- i istan, but he was careful to qualify this by saying that her obligation was not absolute. The obligation, he said, should be fulfilled in no stinted manner, but it was contingent upon the condition that the ameer's conduct is such as the British government can honestly approve. The effect of this proviso was to make the whole question of peace or war with Russia hinge upon the responsibility for tho battle ofMarcb 30. If -the Russians broke the covenant of March 17 by fighting that battle then England's obligation to the amear would compel her to call Russia to account and to prevent her further progress.

But if the Afghans were the aggressors tbeu. the government could -wash its hands of the Afghans, and leave them to fight or fraternize with Russia as they chose. This amply accounts for Hr. Gladstone's fervent -wish for arbitration in the Penjdeh affair. If the arbitrator should decide that Russia was wrong the government would be I clearly justified in -waging war.

If he should find the Afghans blamablp England could retire from the contention and could claim to have secured peace with honor.

Its million and half of population nearly nine hundred thousand were born in the State, and yet hist week there was buriec in Kew Orleans "the first white man born in Texas." Within the span of life great commonwealth has been and the State peopled.

This question of the boundary, although it is tho pith of the whole controversy, had been left so far behind in the recent negotiations that its significance was uncomprehended, and it was actually overshadowed for the moment by such auxiliary questions as the occupation of Penjdeh or Haruchak.

So completely was the public blinded by the fuss that had been made about Penjdeh that the czar's ultimatum received but scant attention, and the arrogant demand which it contained has actually been conceded by England without one person in ten being aware of the vast significance of that fact. Earl Granvflle, it was annoupced, "offered to end the dispute by conceding to Russia the Leesar line." This is an ingenious way of saying that England has submitted to Russia's demand, and the merciful device of sparing the feelings of the Jingoes is continued in the forecast of M. tie Giers 1 reply, which it is said "will announca the acceptance of the Lessar This is rather an abuse of the language, since it is England that has accepted and Russia that has prescribed the Lesrar line, but it sounds better to English ears. There is, to be sure, a proviso to the acceptance of the Lessar line. It is to be accepted "under a distinct pledge tiiat it shall be the abiding limit of the Russian frontier." This will be interpreted by Englishmen to mean that England has said to Russia: "Thus far shalt thou go and no farther." It will be interpreted by Russians to suit their future convenience.

'The "abiding limit" is exceedingly vague, unless it means absolutely to the end of all time. It plainly does not mean that in this case, and just how long the limit shall abide must obviously depend upon future contingencies, incliidini sia's chronx yearning tow ard But the bavins been made useful the surrender of the remains to be settled by at first seemed to present great The question was narrowed to a plain issue of veracity between Komaroff and Lumsdeu.

lie latest proposition by Earl Granville was submit to any European sovereign, to be chosen by Russia, the simple question whether or not the agreement of March 17 was broken by the Russians or by the Af bans in the acts which culminate! in the tattle of March HO. It is known that the had thought enough of this propo- Ition to summon an imperial council at Gatschina for its consideration, nt Russia's previous refusal to review the fenjdeh affair seemed to make its rejection certain, and it was freely predicted that M. Giere 1 reply, expected next Monday, would include refunal of arbitration. Now, in the very nick of time, Gen. Kom- aroCE finds that he wants a vindication, which thinks can best be obtained by submitting the question of his action to some wise crowned the King of Denmark.

It may be thought Ktrange that a soldier conduct has been flatterijigty approved bv iiseovereign should be so sensitive about the ofonions of his opponents and the rest of the world, but it is certainly very timely and convenient.

PmsBUBG, May baggagemen who removed a small trunk from the Chicago express, which arrived at the Union station at 7:30 A. noticed a very smell emanating from it, which around suspicion. The trunk was placed outside the baggage room all day, and when it was openad it was found to contain the body of a man skillfully tied together with a rope.

The rope was fastened around the arms and legs, both legs being drawn up in front of the The arms were drawn up to the head and tied securely to tha neck. The trunk was a cheap affair, 40 inches long, 30 inches wide, and 21 inches deep. The lid was securely tied down with a stout rope passed round the trunk fully a dozen times. The men who handled it were universal in their opinion that it contained the body of a dead man, which led Baggage Agent C. S.

Jenkins to have it opened. The train on which, this peculiar coffin arrived is known as No. 8, and left Chicago at 3:15 r. x. over the Fort Wayne road.

According to the statement of S. M. Jackson, expressman on the train, the offensive odor was noticed when the trunk was put on at Chicago, and the remark was made that the box might contain a "stiff," as that would be a good way to ship it He said he thought no more about it until he heard of its beiog opened at the Union station. The trunk was checked from Chicago to Pittsburg, the number of the check being 4.171. Mr.

Jenkins telegraphed Thomas Adams, agent at Chicago, and secured the following in reply: "Cannot say who had trunk bearing Chicago and Pittsburg check." This leaves the matter a profound mystery. No one connected with the train had any idea of tha sender, or whether the one who procured the check in Chicago accompanied the body. The body is evidently that of a well-to-do Italian about five feet ten inches high, and smoothly shaven. He had dark hair and eyebrows, thick lips and neck, and would probably weigh about 150 pounds. He WOH dressed in a suit of silk underclothing, and wore gray plaid trousers and a dark vest In the pocket of the vest was found a receipt for a money order for $25, which had been sent from the Chicago post office Feb.

25, 1885. It contained the name of Philippi Coruso. A street car ticket on tha Chicago West Division railroad and a key were the only other articles found in the dead man's clothing. Drs. Hamilton and Gallagher held a post mortem examination uf the remains, and gave it an their opinion that the man was strangled before being packed in' the truck.

The police are mystified. In reply to an inquiry Chief of Police Blacfanore received answer from Chicago that two Italians had dispatched a trunk on train No. 8, but that they were unknown. Another sensation was caused by the report that a second trunk containing a dead body bad passed through here from Columbus. The baggagemen complained of the bad odor in the car, and remained on the platform during the whole trip.

The suspected trunk was checked to JtUadelphia, and the authorities there haye been notified. CHICAGO, May inquiry here bos failed to develop any facts concerning the supposed shipment from Chicago of the trunk opened at Fitteburg and found to contain a corpse. Baggage men at the Fort Wayne depot, however, believe from the description of the baggage and the number of the check: that it was left there Thursday morning by tiree Italians, who brought it to the station in an express wagon. No record of baggage is kept whereby this belief can be substantiated at present. Grant at Work OB Appomattox.

THOSE ILLINOIS LEGISLATORS. NEW YORK, May Cornelius K. Garrison died suddenly yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock, at his residence, No. 40 Park avenue, in the 77th year of his age. The cause of his death was paralysis of the heart, but h's family had no premonitions'of the sudden dissolution.

He has been in ill- health for a number of years. A stroke of paralysis in 1876' greatly enfeebled his constitution. Later, in July. 1882, when his son, WHIiam was killed in the Silver Creek catastrophe on the. Long Branch railroad, he experienced a great shock.

Since that time his health failed until, completely worn out by a busy life, be was obliged to make an assignment June Id, 1884, to protect his property. the winter and spring he was able to ride out on every day, which he did the day before his death. He was not threatened with any special heart trouble, and had been in very good health for him for some weeks. Thursday night he entertained a small party at dinner and-was in good spirits. In the night he complained of not eelicg well.

He grew rapidly worse until he died at the hour mentioned. Commodore Garrison had a remarkable career. At one time he was regarded as one of the richest men in the United States. His wealth was variously estimated from $8,000,000 to $25,000,000, though the former figures probably more nearly represented his actual possessions. A long series of bad investments and depression in railway stocks diminished his wealth.

A gentlemen thoroughly posted in regard to his affairs stated last night that when they were finally settled up it would be found that his property would not amount to more than $2,000,000 or $8,000,000. Commodore Garrison was born at Gar- rison-on-the-Hudion, near West Point, March 1,1809. He was the second son in a family of six children, and four brothers and a sister survive him. His is the first death in his family in 60 years. After securing a common school education, at the age of 13 he started out to earn his own living.

Like tho late Commodore whose partner he afterwards became, he began life as a boatman. When 16 years old he came to New York to study for an architect, in accordance with his mother's wishes. He was engaged in that business three years in this city. For five years aftec that he was employed as a builder in Cauajia. Attracted to the southwest ha constructed boats on the lower Mississippi up to 1843.

When the gold fever in California broke out he went to Panama, and with the small fortune he accumulated started in the banking business there. This was the beginning of his great success. Later, as the partner c-f Commodore Vanderbilt and Commodore Morgan in enterprises in California, he made a vast amount cf money. In the shipping interest Commodore Vanderbilt was obliged to associate himself with Commodore Gamson, who' had developed into a powerful rifeal. In 1852 he returned to New York to establish a branch of; his Panania house.

However, he soon left again and went to California, where he was the manager of the Nicaragua Steamship company at a salary of $60,000 a year, and half as much as agent of several insurance companies. Six months after going to San Francisco he became mayor of the city. He was prominently identified with the China and Japan trade and the -Transcontinental telegraph and He foundation for the success of many rich capitalists. The wealth of D. O.

Mflls. W. C. Ralston, Lloyd Tevis, of the Wells-Forgo Express and Banking company, as well as that of many others who became millionaires, was, in a measure, created by his co-operation. Last June he made an assignment because his health would not permit him to extricate himself from his business embarrassments.

It was said at ice time that this had partially been brought about through the revenge of D. O. Mills. Commodore Garrison, years ago, is said to have reproached the latter for falling to assist their old friend Ralston, president of the bank of California, when he Howdy Behavior of the Hough on the New Orleans Exrarslom.

The Liberty Company to Lebanon, for its size, undoubtedly has the finest equipped fire department in the State. The Union and Perseverance companies each run three horses in their apparatuses, two in the steamer and one in the hose carriage.

He built nearly all of the road between St. Louis and Kansas City that is the Central or trunk line cf Gould's southwestern railway system. Oliver, another brother, a St. Louis banker, was vice-president of the road, and the commodore acquired the controlling interest in it. At the tune that Jay Gould began his operations in the southwest he was compelled to buy out the commodore for $3,000,000.

Out of this sale developed the great suit against him brought by Peter Marie and others, which has just been compromised. Nearly three years ago, in co-operation with some of his friends, the commodore began the construction of the Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad. It runs from Toledo to Wheeling and is 205 miles long. It was bonded for $4,830,000 and capitalized for $4.590,000. He owned nearly all the securities of the company.
