For a number of days rumors have been rife in the War Department that an army order was forthcoming which, when issued, would create considerable surprise.

While no authentio information is obtainable' from the officials, it is understood 'that the order- to be issued by the President is to define the limits of the army. It was an open secret for months prior to Secretary Lincoln's retirement that a controversy existed between him and Lieutenant-Gen-eral Sheridan relative to the authority of the latter. Secretary of War finally wrote a letter to the Lieu tenant-General, in which he defined the tatter's authority. It is asserted General Sheridan has come in conflict with the new Secretary of War in regard to the same questions as to their respective rights of command. On the 7th Isstant a.

general order was issued for certain regiments to exchange stations by June 1. As the order was "by command of Lieutenant General Sheridan," it did not contain the name of the Secretary of War nor the words "with the approval of the Secretary of War." Similar orders, as shown by the records, when issued by Gen. Sherman, contained the name of Secretary Lincoln. In the general order above referred to, the Second regiment of artillery, stationed at Washington, was ordered to exchange with the Third regiment of artillery, stationed in the Gulf States. Certain surgeons of the army have expressed themselves as bitterly opposed to this change at this season of the year.

They say it- would endanger the health of the un acclimated regiment, and that the transfer would be especially dangerous because of the threatened sickly season In the South'. They say, further, that the regiment now stationed in the South is acclimated and can remain there without danger. Other officials say this is the first measure of the kind issued in the spring of the year. Secretary Endicott, now in Boston, is ex pected to return shortly. The order, which promises a surprise, will probably not be given out until his return to the department next Thursday.

CLEVELAND'S LETTER ACCEPTING LAWTON'S DECLINATION. Washington, April 28. The followine will explain itself: Washington, April 22, 1885. To Bon. A.

R. Lawton, Savannah. Ga. My Deab Sib: I regret exceedingly that for any reason the administration is to be deprived of your honorable and valuable services in the mission to Russia. The opinion of the Attorney General upon the question of your al leged disability under the fourteenth amendment to the constitution was so complete and satisfactory, and so removed from my mind all doubts as to your eligibility, that upou reading it once decided to ask yon to accept the position, and I learn from the Secretary of State that he telegraphed vou to that effect, but it seems your letter of the seventeenth was then on its wav.

which was followed by one on the eighteenth reaffirming your decision. I sincerely regret this determination upon your part, so unselfishly formed and so patriotically expressed, and whilst I must reluctantly accept it as' the announcement of your deliberate desire and personal wishes, I can bnt feel that the country is greately the loser by it. With sincere regard and high respect, I am your obedient servant, Gboveb Cleveland, ketly declines the italian mission. Secretary Bayard told a Post reporter to-night that A. M.

Keily had declined the Italian mission. Mr. Bayard would not, however, say whether or not Keily would be asked to go to Russia in place of General Lawton. OENTLEHAS GEORGE DINED. Tribute of tne Civil Service Re formers to Minister Pendleton.

New Yobk, April 28. Despite the in clemency of theweather to-night, the com plimentary dinner given at Delmonico's to Minister George H. Pendleton by civil service reformers was largely attended. The main dining-room was elaborately festooned and draped with American flags and huge baskets of were scattered at intervals along the raised table at which the President, George William Curtis and other distinguished people were seated. Mr.

Pendleton sat at Mr. Curtis's right as the guest of the evening, and beyond him on the same side were Mr. varts, Hon. Wayne MacY eagh and others. Shortly after 9 o'clock Mr.

Curtis rapped for order and jocosely opened his address by saying that "This assemblage is a pleasant congregation of im practicable visionaries, amiable sentiment alists, harmless theorists, and political lunatics, who have come to make public atonement for their supposed follies and mistakes by offering a sincere tribute of respect to that American statesman who has identified his name with the least romantic of all things commanding publio attention, reform of the civil service. We have seized this occasion to offer to one of the highest government officials our honor and regard, because that gentleman as a Senator of the United States and as a distinnished leader of a political party has declared in the Senate he believed the spoils system was a great crime." UOKRIBLE TBA6ED1. German Kills His Wire and Cnild and Then Hangs Himself. San Feancisco, April 23. The Exam iner's special dispatch from Concordia, Ohio, says it was not learned till morning that one of the most shocking crimes ever known in the State was committed near that place Sunday night.

A German named Adolph Hess, with his wife and child, lived in a mean little house three miles from the village. Some time dur ing the night Hess, who was addicted to drink, took an ax and with one blow severed the head of -his child from its body. The head was found on the floor. Hess then beat his wife on the head until life was extinct. The room bore evidence of a dreadful struggle.

The floor was smeared with blood, chairs were broken, and bloody finger marks stained the wall. The woman's bedy, almost nude and horribly bruised and gashed, lay in one corner. After his bloody work Hess hung himself to a rafter, and when found all the bodies were stiff. Disastrous Floods in Arkansas. Little Bock, April 23.

The Gazette's Fulton (Ark.) special says: The river has been speedily rising for six days, and now marks thirty-two feet on the govern ment gauge, and is still rising half an inch per hour. The whole country along the banks in inundated, and people with stock are fleeing to the land for safety. The lower portion of Fulton is submerged, and a repetition of last year's disastrous flood is inevitable. Fields yes terday green with waving corn are now a wilderness of water. The loss of stock is very heavy.

The Iron Mountain Railway has several hundred men working on the bridge here, trying to save it from being borne away by the accumulating drift. Rains- in the Arkansas river valley have done considerable damage by overflowing. Portions of plantations above Littie Bock and several private levees below have been broken, but the disaster is only local in character. The water is now falling from Fort Smith down. Object to Seine Examined for Color- Slindness.

Albany, N. April 28. The locomo tive engineers on several divisions of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company's road are determined to resist the enforcement of the rule providing for a general examination for defective vision, color blindness, and imperfect hearing, and a strike seems to be imminent. The men object that the tests applied are too strict, and that only an expert in color could distinguish the shades submitted to them. Seven of the oldest engineers tne service were dismissed this evening for re fusing to submit to the test.

There is great excitement and also loreaia oi a strike among the remaioaer. iu uuici claim their tests are approved and not oppressive, and that their action is for the safety of the public. EnKlian Grain markets. Liverpool, April 28. A leading weekly grain circular says: The weather during the latter part of the past week has been fine, with bright sunshine, and the progress that has been made by vegetation very marked.

The wheat market continues sensibly influenced by the political barometer. Values are generally firmly supported, and in the provincial markets wheat is one to two shillings dearer. At to-day's market the attendance was by no means large. Wheat, however, was firm at full prices. Hour good re quest at extreme rates.

Death of a Well-Known merchant. San Francisco, April 23 John Deane, a member of the dry goods firm of Murphy, Grant died late last night at his residence, at Claremont, Alameda county.

Description of the Landing of American Troops. THE TRIP FROM COLON TO (PANAMA, Arrival of the Colombian Troops at Pan ama Possibility of a Fight-United Stales Troops Withdrawn- Prett Dispatcke to The Tbma. Pawaka, (via Galveston), April 28. Cambina, messenger of the diplomatic corps of Bogota, arrived at Panama this morning with the national troops, who consist chiefly of volunteers from Cauca, under command of lion toy who has sent ALzpura notice to leave the city in forty-eight hours. Aizpura now says he will fight.

If he does not evacuate the city the national troops will try to dis lodge him, and unless the United States troops interfere the city will stand a poor chance. If Aizpura remains in the city the struggle will be indefinitely prolonged. Panama, April 23. On the morning of the 10th instant the Pacific Mail steamer City of Paris arrived at Aspinwall from New York with the first battalion of United States marines, Colonel Heywood commanding. That officer immediately proceeded to the United States steamer Tennessee, the flag-ship of the North Atlantic, for conference with Bear-Admiral Jouett, who had arrived the day before "from New "Orleans, Via Pen-sacola, where he called to embark the marines at that naval station under command of Gapt.

B. Ii. Meade. Geo. A.

Burt, Superintendent of the Panama railway, was invited to this conference. It was promptly determined in an informal way to reopen transit at once. Orders were given for the marines to be landed and formed on the dock of the steamship company at noon, in heavy marching order, with forty rounds ot ammunition each, prepared to take a special train at 1 for Panama. The passengers, excepting a few destined for the South Pacifio ports, were directed -to remain on the steamer, and the commanding officers of the men-of war were ordered to furnish Colonel Heywood with Gatling and Hotchkiss gnns and fifty sailors to accompany the battalion. Two trains, the first consisting of one mail and baggage car, six passenger and two iron-armored cars, one at either end, and the second of the paymaster's car, two cabooses, two platform and three box cars, were made up and at 3 o'clock moved off, amid the cheers of a great crowd of people of all colors and nationalities, largely of the dark races, and strains of martial music, furnished by the band of the flagship Tennessee, which accom panied Admiral Jouett, who reviewed the expedition from the balcony of the office of steamship company.

The marines en tered the train in the order of their battalion, so they could get out and form a line of battle on either side of the train at the slightest alarm and with the least possible delay. The few passengers permitted to go were placed in the rear cars. The second train was guarded by details of marines from the North Atlantic squadron, and conveyed tents, tools, ra tions and the spare ammunition of the battalion. Captain Meade's com pany was left at Matuchin to preserve order and protect the line there. Matuchin is the highest and most important station on the road and is the center of extensive canal operations which give it a mixed, and at times, Sundays particularly, very disorder ly population.

Both trains cautiously continued the transit, expecting to find the track removed or bridge destroyed near Panama. Nothing, however, occurred to delay them, and at six o'clock the force arrived safely at Panama, and immediately bivouacked in the immense warehouse, where they spent the night. A complete cordon of sentinels was established around the property of the Panama Bailroad Company, the Pacifio Mail Steamship Company and the International Canal Company. Twenty sentinels constituted the cordon, and the daily guard mounted consists of one captain, two lieutenants, two sergeants, six corporals and sixty privates. These men, in fact the entire command, nave strict orders not to interfere in the political or social affairs of, the and are not allowed to leave the limits of the camp, which has been christened "Camp Jouett." Under these conditions their orders require them to shoot: These are In the event of discovering any one attempting to set fire to the property they guard; in case a prisoner or person challenged to halt three times attempts to escape, and last in self-defense, should they be assaulted while on duty.

The isthmus is patrolled three times dailv. thrice each way, by train guards, com posed of ten enlisted men, under a com missioned omcer, and frequently an armored car, with three guns and a crew of blue jackets, is added to the guard. The large, mixed and rough population working along the track give the conductors much trouble, especially after pay day. There are in all 527 marines and twenty-eight marine officers now on the Isthmus, and 200 more, with six officers, belonging to the ships of the North Atlantic and Pacific stations, who could be instantly landed. JBtjena Venttjba, April 28.

Yesterday afternoon the firing of guns was heard at Cali, near Buena- Ventura. It is rumored an insurrection has again broken out there. Panama via Galveston, April 23.

At Paraiso yesterday after noon a riot occurred between resident Jamaicans and Colombians.

Three of the latter were killed and seventeen wonnded. company of marines under Captain Beid have gone there to keep order. Paraiso is about nine miles from Panama. The natives are very uncertain through the interior and may attempt to stop transit. The detachments of marines from the Tennessee, Galena, Alliance and Swa- tara returned to their respective ships at Colon yesterday.

San Feancisco, April 23. lladame Bar rios, widow of tie lata Pretidant Tarrios -1; 1 1 9 The Gordian knot in which the City Council, the Mayor's office and the po lice department have been tied lately. was snddenly cat yesterday by Chief of Poliee McCarthy, who sent his resigna tion to the Council, to take effect on the first of Jaly.

The proceedings in de tail, with the discussions that ensued, are to be found in onr Council eport. The original purpose and aim of the enemies of the accused bat now exonerated officer was to force him to resign imme diately following the submission of the report exonerating him, bat this has failed. An attempt was made yester day to hasten the date by making it May 15th, but this also failed, and the time set by the resigning officer himself was finally accepted, with reluctance on the part of the men who have been hounding him from the In the course of the discussion some thing was said about further charges against the Chief being certified to the Council; but a little thought will con vince the gentlemen concerned that their act in accepting the resignation has estopped them from preferring or considering fresh charges pending the time set the, resignation to take If.is not probable that anything more wilKbe heard of the new charges, whih of course have no more in them than had the old ones which was nothing. While the matter was under discussion some manly words were spoken in behalf of McCarthy, notably by Coun-cilmen Sinsabaugh, Hamilton and Mo-Garry, who boldly and justly insisted upon fair play. They were ready to go into an investigation of the fresh charges, bat the other side showed themselves not ready to meet those charges, whatever they may be.

Mr. McCarthy resigns to escape further persecution and annoyance, which he says have become unbearable to him. Mb. Matob Spence said in Council yesterday: "Afterwards it seemed best to the large body of the people that if the charges be' dismissed the Chief should resign." "The large body of the people," however, have had no meeting to consider this -ques tion, and have given no public expres sion to tne above enect. it such was their feeling, the fact has not been authoritatively put on record.

AMUSEMENTS. Geand Opkba House. The attend-House ance last mgnt at tne upera while not as large as the opening night, could still be called good, and among those present were a considerable number of ladies. The singing and dancing and general ensemble was as sprightly as ever, and Topsy Venn, Hattie Grin-nell, Jennie Beifferth, Nellie Beaumont, Lizzie Payne, Verne Burroughs and Marie Muelle were all at their best. Miss Emma Duchateau and her squad of policemen were first-class repre sentatives of "The Finest," and made another hit.

After this came a reading, "McLain's Child," by Miss Annie Tilley, and then a solo, "Bird from O'er the Sea," by Mrs.

The old building leaked like a sieve during the re cent rain, and the water, which poured in on every side, kept the employes busy in removing goods to a place of safety. In view of this circumstance it is not strange that the proprietors have con cluded to sacrifice their whole stock ot goods at ridiculously low prices. The establishment must be cleared out be fore the necessary alterations can be maae to tne building. Heine Quartette Concert.

CHBOSIC BRONCHITIS. Bronchitis is an Inflammation of the mucous membrane of the bronchial tubes, and is one of the most common of the pulmonary affections. Chronic bronchitis more often appears later in life. When a cold settles on the lungs the disease either ends in bronchitis or pneumonia.

If it ends in bronchitis it usually passes off as a old on the chest, and still the patient does not feel entirely well. He feels tired and languid, and is incapable of taking his usual amount of exercise, and experiences a shortness of breath, with more or less warmth in the palms of his hands. Soon after this a cough appears, accompanied by an expectoration of thick mucous, followed by a hectic flush, loss of flesh and strength, and nieht sweats continue, when the patient assumes all the appearances of having a genuine case of consumption. But this is simply catarrh of the luogs or chronic bronchitis. In the laier stage of the disease the mucous membrane of the larger bronchial tube softens, while in the smaller tubes and air cells of the lungs the mucous membrane becomes congested and inflamed.

There are no cavities nor tubercles in the lungs, but merely a wasting away of the larger bronchial tubes, and death takes place from obstruction of the bronchial tubes and air cells of thelangs. The patient dies from exhaustion and suffocation, being unable to expectorate the mucous which accumulates in the passage leading to the lungs, which in some cases is sticky and small in quantity, but mere com. monly copious, of a light straw or yellowish green. Oftentimes streaks of blood make their appearance in the mucous, and at times there is a disagreeable smell. Persons thus afflicted are liable to take a cold, at which time the mucous becomes clear and frothy, and it is not uncommonly the ease that the patient dies in one of these attacks.

Humid bronchitis (from humor, to be moist) is so called from the profuse quantity of watery secretions which comes from the air passages of the lungs. At tines it becomes quite ropy, like the white of an egg. This form of disease usually attack, old pe isle. Dry Bronchitis This disease, the very opposite of the above, is a very common affection. Very many people who regard themselves quite healthy are to-day under its influence, iare slowly but surely becoming the victim is the eases, cough mnoo muco othlstreacneroua complain, ims est insidious of all pulmonary dis-1 here may at first be a slight, hacking nd an expectoration of a biuisb-whlte herein lie.

The mucous membrane also becomes more and more thickened, which arises from the frequent fresh colds, ana the patient at last Decomes ruuy awmre the terrible changes that have taken place, and the inevitable results that are to follow. Inhalation is the only system which will cure these diseases, and yet the treatment of the two are entirely different. In the one we must allay the irritation, while in the other we must stimulate a healthy action.

Kumyss is the blandett and most easily digested food, and as snch the best nourishment for a weak stomach; at the same time, through the process of fermentation which Kumyss undergoes, medicinal qualities are developed which we vainly look for in materia medica, In nausea, vom-ing, extreme cases of dyspepsia, Kumyss acts like a charm, promptly relieving all the distressing symptons of such cases. When the stomach rejects all else, Kumyrs is retained and assimilated, afford ng the patient hourish-ment, strength and comfort, and, as consequence, nervousness cease, and refreshing sleep follows. In scarlet, in ermittant and typhoid fever Kumyss is the best diet. It satisfies thirst and hunger and allays the fever.

It is also highly recommended in consumption i tnic and restorative. But not onlv in ex treme cases should Kumyss be resorted to; it Should be the chief remedy for a weak stomach.
