WASHINGTON, April 26.-—-There is good reason to believe that ambition's has is buzzing in the bonnet of Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt. Its buzzing be- gan ashort time ago. Till then the plucky young reformer had no thought of political preferment. He abandoned that idea when, with George William Curtis, he bolted Blaine’s nomination for president. Since that time he has worked with all his en- ergy in behalf of the civil service and has made many enemies thereby. It Was chief- ly because of these enemies that he aban- doned the thought of a political life, so far as an elective office is concerned. He knew that these enemies were of the hard fighting. hard hitting political class. ' He knew that the impartial way in which he had administered the civil service reform law, to the detriment of their constituents’ hopes. had intensely imbittcred them to- 5;?

He fancied that with such an array against him in both parties there was little or no prospect of his ever being called upon to stand for an election to any political office which he would accept. The upheaval in New York last fall, demonstrating as it did that the respectable element can, when it makes up its mind to do so. win even against so powerful an organization as Tammany Hall, set him to thinking. He saw in that upheaval the crystallization of the hopes of New York reformers into a positive, practical force. It was the materialization of an ideal, and in that crystallization or materialization he saw the birth of a power which could be ' depended. upon in times of need to 4‘. v . purge a municipality or a state (and why wedIIESday, MaUy 8’ 1895‘ 'not a nation?) when called upon to put its REMAINING FOR 2 DAYS. .. strength into play.

You will be elected, and the suc- cessful discharge of the duties of that of- fice will result in your nomination for gov- ernor, and if elected to that high position who knows but that the next reward will then be within easy reach ?” The above words sung into the ears of Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt by men of, weighty influence in New York affairs make a pleasant melody, to which he has listened with delight.

Secretary Gresham declines to say anything about it. President Cleveland naturally refuses to be interviewed on the subject, and Private Secretary‘Thurber is olamlike in his silence. Meanwhile the re- port continues to circulate and finds be- lievers. It is to the effect that the docu- ment calling for the ' minister’s recall left the White House all right enough. and was placed in the dispatch bag of the state department to be sent to Honolulu.

The Under-valuation of Shipmentsmeo! Awaited by the Custom House. SAN FRANCISCO, April 26.—For some time it has been suspected that extensive frauds were being committed in the im- .portation‘ of sugar from Hongkong. and that the government was losing thousands of dollars in duty. The frauds consisted in undervaluing the importation; Fully 16 sugar importers are accused of placing too low a valuation on their importation; and their cases have been and still are under investigation by Collector Wise. The im- porters have been permitted in some in- stances to withdfiw their shipments, but not until after they were notified that they may be called upon to pay an increased ainount of duty and perhaps a heavy: pen- a ty. When Collector Wise was asked about the sugar importations, he said: “ It is true that we have a large number of cases held up for investigation, and are now awaiting proofs of undervaluation which the par- ties interested have promised to obtain from Hongkong. We believe that sugar has been coming into this port with a value affixed much below the market price. We have not charged any one with at tempting to defraud the government, and I do not know that such a course will be pursued. The importers and brokers Are men of high standing, and I feel certain ' that they will be able to explain matters satisfactorily when their proof arrives.” After Would Bo Train Wreckers.

Colonel Kelly’s Gallant Relief of the Be- leaguercd Garrison —- England and Japan—Tho Plot of tho Nicara- guan Dram Develops. CALCUTTA, April 26.-'—A dispatch from Simla today announces that the contents of-th'e diary of Dr. Robertson, the British political agent at Chitral, who was be- sieged in the fort there, and who was re- lieved on Saturday last by the flying col- umn, commanded by Colonel Kelly, which reached Chitral from Gllgit after accom- plishing a brilliant military achievement in passing over the snow covered Shandar pass, some 12, 000 to 14, 000 feet above the level of the sea, have been received there and. give an account of the siege. He says that on March 3 the British garrison made a reconnoissance in force and lost 82 officers and men killed and had 31 wound— ed. The siege proper began on March 4. 0n the 8th the enemy tried to set fire to the water tower, and on the 14th the be- siegers attadred the east side fort, but were repulsed. The tribesmen on April 5 occupied a summer house about 50 yards from the tower, and on the 6th they ad- vanced a sangar, or stone breastwork, to within 40 yards of the main gate of the fort. On April 7 the enemy attacked and fired the tower. While the garrison was fighting the flames Dr. Robertson was wounded, and several of the British force were killed or Wounded. The enemyon April 8 attempted to set fire to the citadel, and on the 11th the fort was attacked on all sides. The garrison made a sortie on April 17, recaptured the summer house and blew up the enemy's mine. The Brit- ish loss in the sortie was 8 killed and 13 wounded. The enemy lost 60 killed, which included 35 men who were bayoneted by the troops engaged in the sortie. On April 19 the siege was raised. . The News Via London. LONDON, April 26.—According to a dis- patch to the London Times, the British column under the command of Colonel Kelly, reached Kogazi, 12 'miles north of Chitral fort, on April 19. There Colonel Kelly received direct news from Dr. Rob- ertson, who informed him that Sher Afzul, who had captured the town of Chitral. and who had been besieging the fort, had, fled with all his troops. Dr. Robertson added that the casualties during the in- vestment of the fort, to which he had re- treated with his guard of British troops upon the capture of the town, were 39 killed and 62 Wounded. Among the lat- ter were Dr. Robertson and. Captain Camp- bell, who both received severe wounds. Captain Baird was killed, but Lieutenant Curdon, who was reported to have been killed, is still alive. As there were only 290 British soldiers and officers in the fort the garrison lost over one-third of its strength. All concerned agree in saying that the highest praise is due to Colonel Kelly’s brilliant font at arms in the march from Gilgit, and they say that it merits reWards such as were accorded to the then Lieutenant (now Major) 0. J. Grant, the leader of the expedition which relieved the British force at Manipur in 1891. England and Japan. LONDON, April 26.—The Times today, commenting editorially upon the dispatch received in Berlin from Tokyo, stating that Russia, Germany and France had formally protested to Japan against the incorporation of any of the Chinese main- land into the Japanese empire, says that the dispatch will arouse considerable in- terest in Great Britain, but perhaps the predominant feeling that it will create will be one of wonder. not unmingled with amusement. If the protest, is genu- ine, and the powers are prepared to sup- port their w0rds by action, Russia must be congratulated upon a signal diplomatic triumph, but the small interest that Ger- many and France have in the question makes it appear a game of bluff, which Japan will possibly see through. Her wisest course will probably be to yield, as the consequences of a mistake might prove exceedingly grave. A dispatch from Berlin to The Times says that the St. .Petersburg correspondent of the Frankfort , Zeitung declares that it is firmly believed in the Russian capital, that Japan has made considerable secret concessions to Great Britain. In a leader The Daily NeWS says: “The protest of the powers to Japan risks delay. ing a settlement of peace, for which the commerce 6f the Whole world is hoping. Nothing will be gained that is Worth even the remote risk of war. We trust that it Is not the policy of any of the powers to. go beyond persuasion. ” In an editori’al' The Chronicle says: “Russia might as well try to invade the moon as to invade Japan. Every soldier she could land would find ton Japanese soldiers waiting for him, while it is not improbable that the Japanese would at- tempt a descent upon Vladivostok. This is the position that Russia must face be- fore deciding to back up her protest by arms.” This Looks Like Trouble. ST. PETERSBURG, April 26.—The Japa- nese government, replying to the note of the Russian government, intimating that there are various conditions in the treaty of peace between Japan and China that Russia cannot allow to be put into execu- tion, has informed Russia that if Japan yielded to the exactions of Russia, France and Germany she Would expose herself to a revolution. as the Japanese people are in- toxicated with their victories .and would assent to no concessions. In spitelof this reply Russia is determined to maintain her demands. Trouble Begins In Nicaragua.
