A WASHINGTON special to tha Ohicaro Daily News savs: Secretary Bavnrd is greatly distressed at the conduct of Minister Manning, at Mexico and cannot trust himself to talk about it. A mild form of denial has been tarnished from the State Department, but the story is believed, par­ ticularly by those who know the past record of the Minist <r. Mr. Bayard lavs the blame on Senator Gibson and other Southern men, who gave the very highest testimonials to Manning's ability and character, and says that such in­ dorsements could not be rejected, coming as they did from honorable men. But Louisiana people hero say that Manning's habit of going on a spree eenii-occasionally is no secret in that State, and must have been known to the Sena­ tors who recommended him. There is no ques­ tion that be is one of the ablest men in Lou­ isiana, stands high at the bar, and is a member of the most aristocratic social circle, but has had this unfortunate habit all his life. If Manning is not recalled at once or does not resign, the Senate will undoubtedly reject him. 8t. John, the Prohibitionist candi­ date for President, seems to be the only avail­ able man to succeed Manning, and be may not be able to stand the intoxicating influences of the Mexican climate.

A SENSATION AX story concerning Minister Manning's experience at a banquet comes from the City of Mexico by special tele­ gram to the Chicago Times: The American colony in this city Is prof on-il­ ly auitated and worked by an affair which .touches American pride to a d gri-e even sur­ passing the Sedgwick affair. This story in brief is to the effect that the new American Minister, Hon. Thomas H. Manning, of Louisiana, has fallen a victim to the relentless enemy of Mr. Sedgwick. Thursday afternoon, Nov. 18, Mr. Manning attended a dinner given in his honor by M. L. Guirard, one of the leading members of the American colony. Many of the most distinguished Mex­ ican politicians and bunkers were present at the banquet to meet the new Minister. At the conclusion of the banquet Judge Manning repaired to his rooms, and was not again Been on the street for nearly a week. He was re­ ported by the Secretary of Legation and others as being ill and confined to his room. It is now stated, however, that the distinguished gentle­ man during four entire days following the banquet was in a frenzied state, and continued to indulge so freely that his secretary and the interpreter could not make him realize what he was doing.. The Secretary of Legation called on an old member of the American colony, and together they finally succeeded bv liberal use of medicines in bringing the Minister to realize his situation. As soon BB Manning realized what had tran­ spired, his secretary visited the newspaper offices and correspondents and tried tj induce them to say nothing about the matter. Guirard, the person at whose table the banquet oceuri'e.l, is severely censured. He is the same person who introduced Envoy Sedgwick to members of the famous .Tockey Club. It is thought on all sides that the unfortunate event will, in all Srobability, lead to an early resignation of [inister Manning. LIEUTENANT PEABCY arrived at Halifax on his way home from Greenland, where he has been for the purpose of establish­ ing the feasibility of a new route for arctic explorers across that country. He made his headquarters at a Danish settlement on the west coast, and from there made sev­ eral journeys inland, the principal one be­ ing to a point 100 miles eastward. Here he found the elevation above the sea to be 7,500 feet. He is satisfied that Greenland can be crossed from west to east by future expeditions to the north pole.

Forty-two men were seriously burned by an explosion of fire-damp Friday morning in tho Conyngham shaft, owned and oper­ ated by the Delaware and Hudson Com­ pany. Several other persons were slightly injured. Of tho forty-two men severely burned two have siuce died, and ten more will probably die. Two miners, whose tames are unknown, are missin?, and it is believed that they were blown into a sump containing thirty feet of water and were drowned. The names of the de&d are: Thomas> O'Brien, aged thirty, a miner, leaves a wife and large family; Cornelius Boyle, aged thirty-eight, miner, leaves a wife and family. The name* of those be­ lieved to be fatally burned are: Hugh Sweeney, aged 27, laborer; Edward Kerns, aged 2:J, laborer; liichard Coulter, aged 28, has a wife and family; Condy Sannon, aged 31, miner, has a wife and large fami­ ly; John Cannon, aged 40, miner, has a wife and family; Christopher Urundage, aged 35, laborer; Michael O'Brien, aged 30, laborer; Daniel Ferry, nqed 32, miner, has a wife and large family; John. Dougherty, aged 31, laborer; Dennis Mc- CaVse, aged 40, miner. The shaft was known to contain gas. No work was done Thursday, and consequent­ ly there was moro gas than usual in it. The accident occurred <it 7:10 a. m., while fifty miners and laborers were sitting at the foot of the shaft, waiting for the inside boss. Tne accident was duo to the care­ lessness of Cornelius Boyle, who has paid the penalty with his life. Boyle entered a worked out chamber with""a naked light oi his hat, a id the explosion followed. Many mules were killed and wounded, and great damage was done to the inside workings of the shaft. . The scene at the colliery while the injured men were being taken from the shatt was terrible. A ciowd of several hundred per­ sons had Fathered at the month of the shaft, among them tbe wiveB, mothers, and daugh­ ters of the injured men. As the vic'ims were taken out of the pit they were brought to the engine-house, and the women made desperate efforts to gain entrance. The frantic demonstrations of grief wero heart-rending, but they were sternly kept outside the building, while tho black­ ened, scorched, and bleeding victims of the disaster were wrapped in blankets soaked in oil. The engine-house floor wa=i cov­ ered with writhing human forms so disfig­ ured by tire as to be unrecognizable. As fast as possible they were taken to the hos­ pital or to their homes. A DISASTROUS SEASON, Mtuiy Vessels Dcstroyvil and Uvea IiOit on tlie Lakvii, [Chicago telegram.] The recent storms have practically put a stop to navigation for tho season of 188G. As fast as the lumber fleet arrives the ves­ sels are being stripped and sent into winter quarters in the various slips. The season has been a good one as far as freights were concerned, but the under­ writers have suffered heavily and the loss of human life has been great. So far this season thirty-three vessels have been driven on shore or foundered, with more or less loss. The schoolers L. J. Conway, Belle Wulbridge, South Haven, Tathfinder, Lucerne, Florida, Helen, Meixekaunee, Marinette, Dickenson, and Emerald and the line propeller Bobert Wallace are total losses, and represent a money value of nearly $500,000 in vessel property. What the value of tho cargoes was cannot be accurately computed, but will probably double that amount. The schooner Luccrne, which foundered in Lake Superior with, a load of iron ore, took with her the entire crew of ten men. Not a single body was recovered. Eight lives wero lost on the Marinette and seven on the Menekaunee, only one man of the two crews escaping. The scow Helen went to pieces off Muskegon,.' and her entire crew of seven men were drowned. Tho schooner Florida, with a cargo.of coal, went to pieces off Marquette. The crew wore saved, with the exception of the mate, who was caught between the rescuing-tug and the vessel and squeezed to death. Tho Dickenson and Emerald broke adrift from the tug Justice Field and went into the breakers. Eight men out of their crews of sixteen wero lost, making a total of forty- one sailors who have lost their lives by the wrecking of vessels this season. CATTLE PLAGUE IS RAGING. Tliouxuntlft of <!»««» Discovered by the Kx- |M!i-t VoU-iiiiHi'iaiiH. [Chicago lUapatch.] The work of appraising cattle at the Phoenix Distillery was completed yester­ day. Two hundred and twenty-nine ani­ mals were appraised at an average valuation of $26. The commission will visit Schu« feldt's establishment to-day, and begin upon the 000 head confined there. It now seems probable that all of next week will be required to finish the work at the distil­ leries, and that no slaughtering will be done for f-ome timo yei. It is becoming daily more apparent that the disease is hutch more widespread than was at first supposed. The expert veteri­ narians who an; ai work among the milch- cows stabled throughout tho city are con­ stantly discovering cases in the most un­ looked-for places, and between 2,000 and 3,000 suspected cases are kno*n to exist in this county. A prominent member of the commission said last night that, iu his opinion, the disease was now so firmly rooted here that it could not be eradicated. "The State has refused to pay for dis­ eased animals," said he, "and as a conse­ quence poor jieople who happen to possess one or two cows will conceal the fact of the existence of the disease from the authori­ ties until whole herd* become affected. If the State would agree to pay for tho dis­ eased cattle, as it should do, and take hold of tho matter in earnest, we might yet stamp out the disease. But as matters now look our State is doomed to see its cattle iqtoests ruined." A RELENTLESS TURSUEB. A Twenty Yearn* Hunt for a Murilerer at Lant Itewardml with HIICCCMS.

He obtained traces of McFee at various points, but was unable to locate him until recently, when he found his man at Southwest City, Mo., and proceeded to have him arrested. The arrest caused great excitement among tho cowboys of that region, and for a time it was feared an attempt at rescue would be made; but it was finally decided to send two of their number with McFo;?, to seo that justice was done him. The prisoner, his relentless pursuer, a deputy marshal, and tho two cowboys reached this city to-nigbt, and passed on for the South.

The cause of his death was exhaustion consequent on en operation performed on him at Saratoga in June last by removing stones from his bladder. He bad al*o suffered from kidney disease for the la-t thirty-five years. Mrs. Hoxie and Capt. Hayes were with him when he ex­ pired. Shortly after the troubles on the Wabash system of railroads and the Southwestern roads last May Mr. Hoxie began to com­ plain of pains in his loins. Finally he be­ came so much worse that he was compelled to give up his work and take a much- needed rest. The trouble with the strikers worried him very muph. He left St. Louis in the latter part of May and came East to Saratoga. After consultation with a phy­ sician he concluded to have the operation performed which resulted in his death. After the operation Mr. Hoxie was relieved, and felt better for a time than be had for years. He hoped that by taking a rest he would regain his health entirely. Mr. Hoxie, in company with his Wife, took a trip to Montreal Aug. 25. From there they went to Quebec and the White Mountains. He came to New York Sept. 10, and took apartments in the Broadway flats in the Metropolitan Opera House block. His physicians, Drs. Metcalfe and Ward, were called. He was still weak from the effects of the operation. Any excite­ ment was. deleter ous. He failed rapidly, but suffered little. Mr, Hoxie's youth was spent in Polk County, Iowa. He came of a poor family, and his first occupation was that of a hostler in a country hotel. There he be­ came acquainted with many prominent men. At tbe outbreak of the war he entered politics. In 1804-5 he was chair­ man of thi Iowa Republican State Com­ mittee and was afterward appointed United States Marshal. After the war he removed to Palestine, Texas, and becaire connected with the management of the International Railroad, holding the positions of Super­ intendent and General Superintendent. When Mr. Gould organized the Wabash system he chose Mr. Hoxie for First Vice President, and his headquarters was es­ tablished at St. Louis. Mr. Hoxie was Third Vice President of the Missouii Pa­ cific, and for several years General Man­ ager of the road. He was one of Mr. Gould's most trusted lieutenants, and at tho time of the recent Southwestern strike so great was Gould's confidence in him that when it was proposed to settle the strike by arbitration the matter was placed in Mr. Hoxie's charge.

(New York telegram, j Mr. Blaine's refusal to take Senator Ed­ munds' proffered hand when they met in the house of the dead ex-President has created a sensation in political circles. Many of Mr. Blaine's friends regret the occurrence, and siy that it was unfortunate. Other-i sav that Mr. Blaine acted perfectly lighten nd that Mr. Edmunds' conduct jus­ tified the rebuke. Mr. Blaine refused to be interviewed on the subject, but talked quite freely to several intimate friends. One of them said: "Mr. Blaine made no response whatever to Mr. Edmunds' greeting. This is wbat happened: Mr. Edmunds was seated on a sofa when Mr. Bl iine entered the parlor. Mr. Blaine bowed to Colonel McMichael, and Mr. Edmunds advanced to greet Mr. B aine with his right haud extended, say­ ing: 'Good mom>ng, Mr. Blaine.' jfr. Blain-' was in the aot ot' drawing off his gloves. He give the Vermonter a quick glance out of the corners of his eyes, and, without nny show of recognition, stepped forward to shake hands with Colonel Mc­ Michael. Mr. Edmunds appeared sur­ prised. His face flushed slightly, and he letired to his seat on the sofa. Mr. Blaine expressed his regret at the occurrence to Colonel McMichael, and shortly afterwafd left tho house. "Th' ro were several reasons why Mr. Blaine did not feel disposed to recognize Mr. Edmunds. That gentleman's treat­ ment of Mr. Blaine has bet n shabby and almost treacherous. He could not have taken Mr. j'dnmnds' hand without forfeit­ ing his self-respect. Mr. Blaine regretted that they met where tliev did, but he could not Lelp that. If Mr. Blaine had reflected he mi-lit not have made his snub quite so marked, but tie is impulsive by nature, and, smarting under Edmtipds' double-dealing, he acted as any other man of sp r t would have done under the circumstances. I am sure the majority of Blaine's friends will justify 1 is course." Frank Hatton, who wa^ Mr. Arthur's Postmaster General, in commenting on tho affair, said: "Blaine knew perfectly well whom he was likely to meet at Gen. Arthur s house, and if he did not care to meet them he should have remai led away. If 1 e had met Mr. Edmunds on the street or at a public reception and refused to speak to him, it would hav^ been another matter; but under the circumstances I think his conduct indefensible from the stand­ point of decency."

He then wrote out the' following order and appended it to the huge records: After inspecting tbe foregoing transorlpt of the record, tbe undersigned, one of the Justices of tlie bupreine Court of the State, is of the opinion that tliero is reasonable ground for granting tho writ of error applied lor in the cause.

[Chicago special.] The convicted anarchists will not „ be hanged on the 3d proximo. Judge Scott, of the Supreme bench, has granted a writ of supersedeas,which operates as a stay of ex­ ecution pending the hearing of the appeal Iby tbe full bench. This heating will take A)lace at the spring term of the court, to be ilield at Ottawa, and the linal decision will hardly be rendered before April or Mry. The granting of the supersedeas was almost a foregone conclusion. It is in conformity with the almost invariable practice of the Supremo Judges in capital cases, whfn a delay of execution is necessary to allow the ourt time for hearing an appeal.-------- How tlie Condemned Men Rm^ivcd the News. [From the Chicago' Tribune.)' The anarchists were all pleased with the jMWS,and if they eventually escape all pun­ ishment it is safe to saj' they won't again play with edged tools. When seen by a Reporter Parspns was seated in his cell. He ad his feet against tUe grated door and his ichair tilted back at an angle of forty-five ide'grces. Asked what he thought of the ^granting of the supersedeas, he said it struck him very favorably, and he was glad to hear it. He didn t know to what extent the influences brought to bear in the trial bei'ore .1 udge Gary would afiect the dec ision of Supreme Court Justices on a motion for a supersedeas, but ho was pleased to see that they had cut no figure. He thought the decision of Judge Scott in granting the writ was in itself an evidence that the con­ viction of himself and the others was a violation of the law. "If you get out of this scrape do you think you will talk and write in the future as you did in the past?" he was asked. "I can't say whether I would write the same things and preach the same doctrines. For my part, I am willing to say the rascali­ ties, outra-.es, and robberies to which the working classes have been subjected some­ times get tho better*of a man who feels for them, and leads him to say things he wouldn't say when in l^is Calmer moments. It's a good deal like politics, where the leader of one party abuses the leader of the otLer, but after the campaign is over everything settles down to quiet again." Fischer was not much surprised to hear the news, as he thought all along that the writ would bo granted. He believed, how­ ever, that if Judge Scott was of similar material to Judge Gary there would have been no hope at all. Fielden was not disappointed over the news, as it was just about what he expected, lie was uncertain what business he would engage in if he finally got clear of his present troubles, und was unable to say what influences might be brought to bear upon him to change the opinions he had so freely uttered iu the part. Schwab couldn't say he was much sur­ prised at the news, for las nttomeys had as­ sured him that everything was favorable to the granting of the wiit. lie thought similar disturbances to those of Inst liay would oc­ cur again, but intimated that he wouldn't be mixed up iu them. "We Germans." he said, "are more radical and ouUpoken in our views than Americans, because we liave seen the same state of atl'airs produce the same results in the olu country, nud, in raising our voices against the further op­ pression of the vorkit g people, only tried to avert the disasters that have overtaken them elsewhere." Spies was expecting the supersedeas, but would not have been surprised had it been refused, after what he had seen at the trial. He said he was not ashamed of anything be had written iu the past, although admit­ ting he might have said some unreasonable things. Concluding, he said: "My course in the pact may not have been wise, but I never willingly harmed anybody iu my life. If the verdict is sustained, henceforth any man can be arrested aud dragged to prison, tried, convicted, and punished for any un­ lawful act committed by persons known or unknown." Engel was hidden behind a calico curtain strung across the door of his cell when the reporter asked for him. The object of the visit was explained, whereupon he be­ came slightly vehement, and said: "I dell you nodings. I say noding to de capital­ istic press, nodings, nodings, nodings." He didn't. Neebe believed all the time that the sn- persedeas would be granted, and never felt alarmed over its being refused. EDMUNDS AM) ULAINE. The .OfBviiU Version of the Meeting tend the Snub. [New York telegram.1 The official version of the meeting be­ tween Mr. Blaine aud-'Mr. Edmunds is as follows: Sunday afternoon Mr. Blaine paid a visit to the house or ex-Prosident Arthur, and as ho en­ tered the parlor Senator Edmunds came for- wurd with great apparent cordiality, extending liis hand and saying: "How do you do, Mr. Blaine?" Mr. blaino stood with his hands hold- lug his hat in front of him in tho position famil­ iar to all who have met hint, and made no re­ sponse, simply looking Mr. Kdmunds in theeyc. Seeing some embarrassment, Clayton McMich­ ael said : "You know tho Senator. Mr Blaine?" Mr. Blaine remained perfectly silont, and Mr. Kdmunds at length, apparently comprehending tlie situation, retreated to the sofa from which ho had risen. A few minutes later Mr. Blaine expressed to Mr. McMichael and Mr. Miller liis Binccre regret that an act imperatively demand­ ed from him should have occurred iu'tho hou^s of mourning.

Very respectfully, your obedient' servant, WM. A. STONE „ EXECUTIVE MANSION, Nov. 23. The Hon. A. H. Garland, Attorney oeuerul: UKAII Km--I have reau the 1 tier of tho 18th inst., written to you by William A. Stone, lately suspended lrom office as Liistiict Attorney for tbe Western District of Pennsylvania, and tbe subject matter to which it refers lias received my oareful consideration. I shall not impute- t > the writer any mischievous motive in hiB plainly erroneous assumption that his case and that of Mr. Benton, recently suspended and re­ instated, rest upon the same state of facts, but- prefer to regard his leiter as containing tbe best statement possible upon the question of his reinstatement. You remember, of course, that soon after the present administra­ tion was installed, and I think near J y a. ye,ir and a half ago, I considered with you certain charges which had been preferred against Mr. Stone as a Federal official. You remember, too, that the action then contem­ plated was withheld by reason of the excuses aud explanations of his friends. These excuses and explanations induced me to believe that- Mr. Stone's retention would insure a faithful performance of official dutyj and that wnatever offensive partisanship he had deemed justifiable in other circumstances he would, during his- continuance in office at his request, under an administration opposed to him in political creed and policy, content himself with a quiet and unobtrusive enjoyment of his political privi­ leges. I certainly supposed thut his sense of propriety would cause him to refrain from pur­ suing such a partisan courso as would wantonly offend and irritate tho friends of the admin­ istration, who insisted that he should not be retained in office, either because of his personal merit or in adherence to the methods which have for a long time pre­ vailed in the distribution of Federal offices. In the light of a uetter system, and without consid­ ering his political affiliations, Mr. Stone, when permitted to remain in office, became a part of the business organization of the present admin­ istration, bound by every obligation of honor to- assist within his sjihtre in its successful opera­ tion. lhis obligation involved not only the proper performance of official duty, but a cer­ tain good faith and fidelity, which, while not exacting the least sacrifice of political principle,. forbade active participation in purely partisan demonstrations of a pronounced type, under­ taken for tho purpose of advancing partisan in­ terests, and conducted upon the a\OA i d theory that the administration of the Government was not entitled to the conlidence aud re­ spect of the people. There is no dispute what­ ever couccrniug the fact that Mr. Stone did join * others who wore campaigning the State of Penn­ sylvania in opposition to the administration. It appears, too, that he was active and prominent with noisy enthusiasm in attendance upon at least two large public meetings where tbe speeches wer<) largely devotad ta abuse and misrepresentation of the administration ; that he approved all this, and actualiy addressed tlie meetings himself in somewhat the same strain; that h> attended such meetings away from hiB home for the purpose of niuking suen addresses; aud that he was advertised as one Of tbe speakers at each of said meeting, I shall accept as true the statement of Mr. Stone that tho time spent by him in thus de­ monstrating his willingness to hold a profit­ able office at the hands ot an administration which lie endeavored to di credit with tho peo­ ple, and which had overlooked his previous of­ fenses, did not result in the neglect of ordinury official duty; but his conduct has brought to light such an unfrieudliness toward the admin­ istration which he pretends to serve, and of which ho is nominally a part, and such a conse­ quent lack of loyal interest in its success, that- the safest and surest guaranty of his faithful service is, in my opinion, entirely wanting. His course, in itself, such as should r.ot have been entered upon while maintaining official rela­ tions to the administration, also renjws and revives, with unmistakable Interpretation of their character and intent, the chorees of offensive partisanship heretofore made, and up to this time held in abeyance. Mr.- Stone and others of like disposition are not to suppose that party lines are so far obliterated that the administration of the Government is to be trusted, in places high or low, to those who aggressively and colt- stantly endeavor unfairly to destroy tho con­ fidence of the people in th" party responsible for such administration. While vicious par* tisan methods should not be ullowed for parti-- san purposes to degrade or injure the public service, it is my belief that nothing tends so- much to discredit our efforts, in the interest of such service, to treat fairly and generously tbe official incumbency cf political opponents as conduct such as is here disclosed.
